Believe it or not Smart and Final carries French butter. Granted its not what you would find in Paris, Tours, or the Dordogne, but its really good butter...and it doesn't cost that much. I use it when I try to reproduce Joel Rubuchon mashed potatoes. Couple this with Bulvinaka's tip and you might "extend the joy" a bit...but LA is not Paris, and never will be.

Good call...I'm not sure that qualifies as seafood however. More like landshark...if you are old enough to remember, https://screen.yahoo.com/land-shark-j...

If you opt out of shark the Galleria, a Korean market in Northridge, has both whole monkfish tails and skate wings for a reasonable price and excellent quality. The catch is that you have to clean them both. In particular skinning and removing the membranes from monkfish is a bit of a chore, but it grills beautifully.

Thanks for this but, in my experience, Costco's whole fish is headless and has been gutted already. At least at the Van Nuys store...as has been pointed out Costco has different products at different stores. If there is a Costco that actually sells a whole fish I would love to hear about it. Salmon cheeks are about as good as I have found fish to be, the few times I have had them.

Not sure if its local or raw, but I saw goat's milk at Trader Joe's today.

Lunch after Golf near Simi Hills
I have sent South African friends there who loved it. The one time I went I had the Boerewors roll and was unimpressed. In that neighborhood I think you would be happier with either Pho So1, or Pho 999, or even Sam Woo's. Or you could go a bit further east and hit up Puro Sabor.

Gelson's carries it, as does Surfa's and some Ralphs.
Jun 18, 2014ebethsdad in Los Angeles Area
Surfas grits are quite good. They are in the refrigerated section. They take quite a long time to cook, and are very sticky. I have had good luck pre-soaking them overnight, and cooking them in my rice cooker on the "brown rice" setting. Good-luck!

Looking for Red Chillies - SFV
They are hard to find here in the Valley. On the Westside I have found them at the Mar Vista Farmers' Market - but later in the year. It won't help you in the near future, but peppers do well in pots, or in gardens. Edit - Sego Nursery on Burbank and Laurel Cyn has a nice selection of chili peppers. Of the places suggested 99 Ranch carries Thai chilies, but green ones. Vallarta doesn't carry them. The Galleria, the Korean market in Northridge, carries green ones, and rarely red ones. I suspect most places don't carry them because the shelf life is so much shorter.

Skaf's has a more upscale place than their original. Only been there once, but it was as good as their hole-in-the-wall in North Hollywood.

20 years ago "'good' British food" was definitely an oxymoron. Not so any more. Here's a picture of a local grass-fed organic burger I delightfully consumed in York last summer. Local bacon and cheese too. The chef explained to me that when the alcohol content of British beer was cut (its pretty weak stuff - especially compared to our double IPAs etc.) they had to figure out how to get people into the pubs so they started making good food. Its pretty easy to eat in England now.
On topic - definitely Brent's is worth a trip. If the OP is there on the weekend I recommend the BBQ at Jim's Fallbrook Market's parking lot.

Local craft beer suggestions? Where to buy?
The Bruery is quite nice. I was once there when they were serving their best and Peter Reinhart was making pizza to go with it. A lovely afternoon. The OP might also check out Stone which has a store in Pasadena, http://www.stonebrew.com/.

Weekend in Ann Arbor with a 2 year-old: suggestions?
Its mentioned above, but I wanted to reiterate that the Hands-on Museum is wonderful for kids, http://www.aahom.org/ If your daughter is a dinosaur fan the UofM Natural History museum has skeletons, as well as dioramas that fascinated me as a child. It may be too scary for a two-year old. On our visits to Ann Arbor we always try to hit both the Roadhouse and the deli. Haven't been to Zingerman's creamery yet, but if you go there is a Costco a stone's throw away. Have a wonderful time!

I haven't been there in 13 years, but Black Bart's Steakhouse in Flagstaff, http://www.blackbartssteakhouse.com/
We had a lovely meal here, http://www.auberge-du-brusquand-dordo.... I am pretty positive the foie gras was fresh in early June. Truffles were not, but we took home a few jars any way. Stayed in a wonderful and relatively inexpensive hotel in Marquay, the Hotel Mounea. Have a great trip!
Where to get my knives sharpened??
Japanese knives are sharpened at 15 degrees while European knives use a 20 degree edge. European knives can be sharpened at the more acute angle, mine are, but they have to be ground down a bit. Not that it seems to matter to the Japanese knife store (see will47 below), but its a cutlery fact for you. http://thebestknifesharpenerguide.com...

Bear in mind they close at 6 during the week and 5 on Saturday. They have a few tables, but I always do takeout.

Yes. Magnolia and Whitsett.

Hows last location is closing!
Its a ways from Pasadena, but JIm's Fallbrook Market in West Hills has the kind of service HOWS and Hughes did. Harris Ranch beef as well. Their prices are higher than HOWS but not in the Lindy and Grundy range. Very nice people and will fill special orders. Great seafood too.

Fish: Lent- and Paleo-free friendly near Brentwood (Friday lunch)
As always you are very welcome. I have learned so much from you. If you have a chance to attend an Orthodox service the food is usually great afterwards (better in Greek than Russian). Fast then feast, the contrast is wonderful, especially the early morning meal after Easter (Pascha) services.
Mar 07, 2014ebethsdad in Los Angeles Area
Fish: Lent- and Paleo-free friendly near Brentwood (Friday lunch)
Its an Eastern Orthodox practice. During fasting periods no meat, dairy, fish, wine (alcohol), or olive oil may be consumed. There are modifications; during weekends olive oil and wine are allowed, and occasionally fish. There is even one night late in Lent when caviar is allowed, at least in the Russian church. Roughly half the year falls into some sort of fasting period. Makes for great cholesterol, but would not fit into a Paleo diet by any means.

Moving to the Valley, what's good?- Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys
This is a great list! One omission is Ramen Omae on Van Nuys. In my opinion they are even better than Yamadaya which is a very good place. At any rate thank you Jwsel. Lots of good info here.
Mar 03, 2014ebethsdad in Los Angeles Area
Moving to the Valley, what's good?- Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys
Practically walking distance to you is Smoke City BBQ which some love and some feel is inconsistent (I am of the latter persuasion - still it is worth trying). Definitely visit Puro Sabor just up Van Nuys from you. Not sure if it is mentioned above but Lola's on Kester and Victory is a wonderful Peruvian wood-roasted chicken dive. They have great greasy French fries but the rest of their sides aren't worth it. Nice people. Armenian pizza at Royal Pizza on Woodman and Oxnard is good, as well as the Armenian BBQ at the adjoining market/butcher shop. Market sushi at Farm Boy on Hazeltine and Riverside is a surprisingly good and affordable. Farm Boy is adding all sorts of things like juices, salads, and Korean specialties, in addition their frozen yogurt and excellent produce. Last, but not least check out the Studio City Farmers' Market on Sunday mornings. Enjoy the neighborhood.

Blackwood ex-lecturer sends £10k engineering kit to Solomon Islands
8:30am Saturday 10th November 2012 in News
RETIRED lecturer is sending £10,000 worth of engineering equipment to help students in the Solomon Islands.
Albert Wilson, 66, of Bloomfield Road, Blackwood, won a bid for around ten items of machinery from the old Coleg Gwent campus in Ebbw Vale which includes a sheet metal rolling machine and a drilling machine.
Students based at the campus have been moved to the town's new £33.5 million Learning Zone, so Mr Wilson put in a bid to buy items at the old site.
He is currently storing the items in a workshop where he will spend the next month carrying out any repairs needed, cleaning and painting the items.
He will then ship the items to students in the Solomon Islands from Newport Docks by company City Packers.
Mr Wilson, who worked as an engineering lecturer at Coleg Gwent, Cross Keys, also worked as an advisor in countries such as Nigeria and Kiribati in the 1980s and the Solomon Islands from 1991 to 1996.
He taught students at the Solomon Islands College of Higher Education in the capital Honiara.
He said: "I found when working in these developing countries that their machinery was very old. I look upon this as my way of helping out."

★ Final Farewell To Mike Lopez Jr.★
It is hard to imagine anyone who followed football in Oregon in the 1980′s not remembering his name. It struck fear into many an opponent and his #19 was called and shouted often at Oregon State where he did some legendary things. He was one of the greatest athletes to every come out of Oregon and was an All American and named Gatorade Player Of The Year. The 1981 Graduate of Aloha was truly special in every way and was known by those closest to him as "Magic Mike"! ♥
Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week. Last year, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.

Suwanee, GA, August 11, 2014– Terance Mathis, former All-American and Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons is partnering once again with Cure for ALS to host his 2nd annual Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday, September 15, 2014. The title sponsor for the event which will take place at the Alpharetta Athletic Club in Alpharetta, GA, is ChoicesToYou.com.
"As I have become more involved in the past couple of years with this cause, I realize that nobody is immune to getting ALS. It literally can strike anyone, and the fact that so many professional athletes have been diagnosed really has hit home with me," says Mathis. "I know that it could be me fighting this disease."
ALS is a neuromuscular disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. There is no cure and the average life span after diagnosis is 2-5 years. It takes away the ability to move, speak, swallow, and ultimately breathe, and it can strike anyone.
The funds raised from the tournament will benefit the Emory ALS Center. Located in Atlanta, the Emory ALS Center is one of the largest clinical centers for ALS in the United States. The Center provides true multidisciplinary care for patients and families with ALS, and is dedicated to performing groundbreaking research in the laboratory to discover treatments and a cure.
Golfers in threesomes will be paired with celebrity team captains. Joining Terance Mathis as celebrity captains are Atlanta Falcons favorites Jesse Tuggle, Ruffin Hamilton, Michael Haynes, Gerald Riggs, Jamal Anderson, Chris Mohr, and Keith Brooking. Other football greats playing are Greg Lloyd, DJ Shockley, Nate Wayne, Brian Jordan, and Carl Pickens. Stars from the MLB playing in the tournament are Kenny Lofton and Fred McGriff.
Registration/player check-in begins at 8:30am for the scramble format tournament. 10:00am is the shotgun start, lunch will be provided, and there will be fun contests on the course. An awards reception will follow the round, where prizes will be presented to contest winners and the Top 3 Teams.
All information including links to online registration and online donating can be found at CureForALS.com.

Now that minicamp is over and we wait for some real action again, I find myself already wresting in my sleep, hoping for an inkling of Dallas Cowboys information to stimulate my blue and silver dreams. And due to the importance I place in loyalty, I refuse to dream off a Cowboys clad LeBron catching touchdown after touchdown. (Those two rings off his need to be invalidated for The Great Collusion that the NBA refuses to address. Sorry, I digress)
So instead of great cowboys dreams, I lie in bed itching for things to think about and lately I've turned to how I think the Cowboys 2014 roster may look like, so I thought why not share with some fellow fans. Without any more of my ramblings, let's continue:
Quarterbacks (2): Tony Romo, Brandon Weeden
Kyle Orton doesn't want to play in Dallas, and I don't want him in Dallas. I want nothing to do with a man who would rather pay money than play the game. He's already been sittin on his butt collecting fines. Preferably, I'd hope that the Cowboys get him to retire and get the money back, but if it need be, I would cut him loose. Hopefully Dustin Vaughn shows a little something at camp and can stick on the Practice Squad
Running/Full Backs (4): DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbar, Ryan Williams, JC Copeland
I didn't like what I saw Joseph Randle last year at all. It was uninspired running and behind a top 5 run blocking O-Line and he should have done better. Murray and Dunbar and certain bets to make the team and have defined roles. I am really intrigued by Williams and his prospects, but I will say I am hesitant on the overall injury bug that seems to have a permanent presence around these 3. Ben Malena is an interesting prospect who I definitely want on the PS and if one of the top 3 go down, he can be called up for spot duty. While I do believe that we are moving away from the fullback, Murray has been successful with a big guy blocking in front of him before and if they have a fullback on the roster, he's a sure bet to get a meaningful 10 snaps a game, and that's good enough for me to warrant a roster spot. Tyler Clutts probably has the inside track on the job, but I like what Copeland brings and the pads should show that
Wide Receiver (6): Dez Bryant, Terrance WIlliams, Cole Beasley, Devin Street, Dwayne Harris, LaDamian Washington
Dez is our superstar. T-Will is his Robin. Beasley is Alfred, under-appreciated, but important none the less. Well... that's about as far as I can take that analogy. Harris is almost assured a spot as a kick returning ace. Street is probably assured a spot due to his draft slot, but he's also been great in camp and interviews, and seems deserving of the spot. I will say that Washington was probably the toughest inclusion I made. I really want him to be on the team for his story, his speed, and his special teams ability, but this club has not always shown the desire to hold a 6th WR on the opening day roster. He is currently my 53rd man.
Tight End (4): Jason Witten, Gavin Escobar, James Hannah, Jordan Najvar
There have been some rumors that Hannah may not make the team, but I'm not buying it. I like the guy's skill set and I'm hoping that between TE coach Mike Pope and OP Scott Linehan, he will not only develop, but be used in a proper manner, which would be as a pass catcher and not like the blocker they deployed him as last year. Now, if they want a blocker, which Jason Witten would like, Najvar may be the answer. They like his ability as a blocker and he has potential. I'd definitely give him a good hard look and lets see if he can crack the 53.
Offensive Line (8): Tyron Smith, Ron Leary, Travis Fredrick, Zach Martin, Doug Free, Mackenzie Bernadeau, Darion Weems, backup Interior Olineman
The starters apart from the LG positions are set and its a solid bet that both Mack and Ron make the roster. The cowboys have a decision on hand to make regarding the swing tackle. Weems is younger and has been making a push for a while, but Parnell has done what's been asked of him. Nick Eatman recently espoused his thinking that there's a possibility that Parnell ends up on another team. I like the idea. I think he has value to a team with little OT depth and could be an option to get a pick or a player. Cutting Weems would be a waste considering the amount of time the team has used on him so I believe that this may be the smartest way to go. I still believe that the cowboys hold onto another O-lineman, but as of this moment, I'm not totally sure who. I think the rest of the guys are too young, but possess some practice squad value. Depending on the money, I like the idea of Uche Nwaneri as this player. Not completely sold yet, but the possibility is there.
Defensive Line (10): Henry Melton, George Selvie, DeMarcus Lawrence, Terrell McClain, Tyrone Crawford, Jeremy Mincey, Ken Bishop, Ben Gardner, Ben Bass, Davon Coleman
I've stated my belief regarding the DLine before and very little has changed in the meanwhile. I see Mincey in the same light as Will Allen and Durant last year, almost like a stopgap for Tank. He's the RDE starter right now, but sooner than later, Tank will take over. Luckily for him, we don't have too many options at RDE, so he will see ample playing time. Selvie is basically the vet of this group and as Dave recently shared in his post, is a great guy and a true RKG. Melton will still get his shot to show if he can return to his old form. McClain has been great in so far. Bishop is one of the few true 1 techs on the roster and even Chuck Norris would squeal at the thought having to tell Ben Gardner he's fired. For the waves plan that Coach Rod wants to employ, we'll need numbers, but I don't see us keeping more than 10 with the last 2 spots coming down to a battle between Bass, Coleman, and Nick Hayden. The staff really seems to love Hayden, but he's a career JAG and, sadly, not much more. His tenacity and ability to stay healthy is great, but the potential with Bass and Coleman is to great to give up. Martez Wilson and Caesar Rayford still have their shots (especially due to the lack of many RDEs on the team), but the numbers don't look too promising for them.
Linebacker (6): Bruce Carter, Justin Durant, Kyle Wilber, DeVonte Holloman, Anthony Hitchens, Orie Lemon
Carter will get another shot at the WILL. Durant's spot is virtually locked up with Sean Lee getting injured as he now is the only reliable veteran. Wilber is looking like the front runner for the SAM spot. Holloman was promising and has the possibility to start at MIKE or SAM. Hitchens will get his time to grow and has his spot basically safe, barring a terrible camp. Linebacker is the position of least depth on this roster, but I see almost no way the team only carries 5 LBs into the season. They have options with 7th rounder Will Smith and even UDFA Dantavis Sapp, and they could even possibly go outside for the answer. But I'm going to go with Lemon here for one reason and one reason alone, the recommendation of one Dez Bryant. When prompted earlier in the offseason on a breakout player, Dez responded with his offseason lifting buddy, Orie Lemon, and said that he would surprise a lot of people. He's been with the team many years and I'd like to see what he can do. Smith and Sapp can buy their time on the PS.
Cornerback (5): Brandon Carr, Orlando Scandrick, Mo Claiborne, Sterling Moore, Terrence Mitchell
There looks to be a lot of quality corners on the team this year, so it may be hard for the front office to make their cuts. The top 3 is set, but there is a lot of competition beneath them. The Cowboys don't normally keep too many corners, but they may have to keep 5 this year. Moore is BY FAR the forgotten man in Dallas, so much so that even the Cowboys forget about him a couple of times. He deserves to make this team on opening day and I hope he gets his shot. No way will the pokes keep more than 5 corners, so the young guys are going to be fighting tooth and nail for it. For the slot that he was selected in last year, BW Webb has been a let down and hasn't looked much better so far this year. Even though we've only seen him for 3 non pad practices, Terrance Mitchell looks like he may have something to him. I've seen Scandrick quoted many times pumping up his belief of "TMitch." I like Tyler Pattmon as well, but for a workout player, the PS isnt bad at all.
Safety (5): Barry Chruch, JJ Wilcox, Jakar Hamilton, Matt Johnson, Jeff Heath
This was hard for me. Church and Wilcox are no brainers, but I have no idea about the rest of them. Up until the minicamps, I had virtually counted Hamilton out, but the man is showing up, even possibly challenging for a starting spot. From there I believe there are 2 spots for 3 guys. This all comes down to the Unicorn's ability to magically appear for once. I've been told before that I can be a little naive, but man do I keep hoping Johnson will show up for once. For now, I'll keep him on the 53, but that could change the instant he gets tapped on the shoulder and it separates. I find it tough to decide between Heath and Ahmad Dixon. While we love to hate on Heath, for a UDFA he was thrown into the fire and struggled as one would expect. He did show ability though and has the ability to cover, which Dixon seems to completely lack. While I love Dixon's mentality, I'm just not sure he's NFL ready yet. If we can sneak him on the PS, it would be great.
Special Teams (3): Dan Bailey, Cody Mandell, LP Ladouseur
Only real surprise here could be Mandell. Kid has been booming some in the minicamp lately. While Chris Jones has been decent, we could stand to update. The chance he takes Jones' job isn't that great, but I've been frustrated and confused with Jones on more than one occasion so I'm hoping that Mandell takes that job.

To the editor:
I would like to publicly commend Harrison Memorial Hospital and Women's Health of Cynthiana for the care I recently received. Last month as I prepared for surgery and a six week recovery, many friends and family were surprised to hear that I was not traveling to Lexington for such services. But as visitors came by during my surgery, and later to my room, they were pleasantly surprised.
We're doing the happy dance at my house these days.
It started when, one day last week, I went to turn on the TV in the living room and it popped, which is never a good sound coming from a major appliance or electronic device.
My husband had been pining for a flat-screen, high-definition TV for months and I've balked at the idea. Our TV was good enough.
But that morning "good enough" became "dead." Later that day Barry called me at work and said, "Before you start screaming, hear me out."
A few weeks ago the Democrat office hosted the Home and Garden Show, which a tremendous mountain of food was collected for the food pantry. Then, a week ago, the Post Office held its annual food drive, which 4,500 lbs. of food was collected and also given to the food pantry.
The volunteers and I want to say a big thanks to anyone person and all who participated in any way to these two events.
On behalf of St. Edward School, Northside Elementary School, and Harrison County High School, we would like to thank the Harrison County Soil and Water Conservation District for their generous grant, which afforded us the opportunity to participate in a water watch stream project on Edgewater Pike on Monday, May 19.
January 4, I remember it so well. It is clear in my mind.
That is the last day I stepped foot into our Wal-Mart Supercenter and walked out empty handed, slightly disappointed, and with a gnawing feeling in my stomach.
I had noticed that in recent months I have had a growing resentment to the large corporate American shopping experience and while my desire to purchase an electronic device didnt spurn this, it surely enhanced it.
As a student at LVC, I can honestly say that finals week can be very hectic and stressful. All the reviewing, researching and writing makes for long days and late nights; no sooner do you finish one exam, another quickly approaches.
Thanks to the Good Samaritans of Connersville Christian Church, my week was more enjoyable. They had volunteers present all week long displaying their support while aiding students and faculty with drinks and snacks.
A special advisory commission of senior citizens was held in Frankfort on May 8-9, 2008.
The Legislative Research Commission (LRC) is facing many problems due to mandates of Gov. Steve Beshear. The keynote speaker for this meeting was Commissioner Anderson, Department of Aging and Independent living, explaining results of a two to 12 percent reduction in monies and how this will affect not only her staff, but loss of monies so desperately needed for senior citizens centers.
My husband and I live on Ky. Hwy. 1743. We knew that, for various reasons, we would be adding an additional garage to the property. After doing some research we decided to have one built by Custom Wood. Adding an additional building meant getting a building permit, which we did.

"We are the working class and wherever there is work, you must go work."Manny Ramirez is the 99%.
Cleveland Indians outfielder Manny Ramirez startled the fans at Jacobs Field in the first game of a double-header played last August 13 between the Tigers and Indians when it appeared he was trying to steal first base. Here is what happened. In the bottom of the eighth inning Ramirez singled, scoring Omar Vizquel from second base. Manny proceeded to advance to second on defensive indifference. Then suddenly, and to the amazement of everyone, he ran back towards first. Ramirez was en route when Detroit pitcher Willie Blair fired the ball to shortstop Deivi Cruz who applied the tag on Ramirez.Rich Marazzi, Baseball Digest, December 1997. Found this after @hoynsie tweeted about it earlier today. Updated with the game's box score.
I'm not a big fan of Thomas Boswell's (he likes to throw around statistics, but he doesn't really know how), but today's column in the Post, which was right next to a story about the Nats' managerial job that lists Mattingly and Valentine (and Bob Melvin, as well as Jim Riggleman) as active candidates, caught my eye. It's about Charlie Manuel, Manny Ramirez, and Jim Thome. More than that, it's about the difference between players who strive for success and those who strive for excellence: "Don't get hung up on success and what people think of you; focus on excellence, play the game the right way, enjoy the moment and don't be scared of it." Jimmy Rollins is entered as Manuel's Exhibit A. The column made me think to myself, how many clutch players (i.e., players who strive for excellence, rather than success) are on the Indians' roster (now that Victor is in Boston)?

Making headlines today:
The African National Congress' National Working Committee, or NWC, which last week called for a halt to the public-participation process being run by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa into Eskom's request for a 60% hike in the interests of broader consultation, agreed on Monday that the process should be allowed to continue.
ANC spokesperson Steyn Speed said that, while he had not received a full briefing on the outcome of the meeting, he understood that the ANC now planned to make a formal submission to Nersa, which would be independent to any presentation that might be made by government.
In a statement released after the gathering in Johannesburg, the NWC said the ANC remained committed "to finding solutions that serve the interests of the South African people, particularly workers and the poor, and which assist the process of economic growth, job creation and development".
For the quarter ended March 31, the year-on-year rise was five comma six percent to three hundred and forty comma seven million tons.
China produced one hundred and twenty four million tons of crude steel during the three-month period, which represented an eight comma six percent increase. However, China's production for the month of March swelled by eleven comma five percent compared with March 2007, to forty four comma nine million tons.
The two would jointly operate the assets, which include the Hidden Valley mine that Harmony is building, as well as exploration tenements.
The Hidden Valley mine was expected to begin producing mid-2009, peaking at 300 000 ounces a year of gold in 2011.
Newcrest said that it would fund the deal from internal cash flows.

"Dear Steve,
I make a payment on saturday at a shared branch of my credit union that brought my account current and the receipt stated my next payment is due 4/28; however, my car was repossessed this morning. can the bank actually do that?

The Answer
Dear Nelson,
It simply sounds like the repo order was already in the works and the payment posting crossed. Payments can be delayed in posting, especially from small shared locations where updates may not happen the same day.
Contact your lender this morning, without a nasty attitude, and your car should be returned without a problem.
Also, ask them what needs to happen in the future to avoid this problem.

What's happening at Te Papa?
Different but equally fascinating accounts of what's happening at Te Papa have been published in the last 24 hours.
Following last night's news about the sudden departure of chief executive Mike Houlihan, TV3 reporter Tova O'Brien revealed that the museum is undergoing a financial investigation. She named the entities which are doing the work:
Independent accountants PriceWaterhouse Coopers and project managers Tregaskis Brown have been brought in to look at the national museum's books and investigate if it is properly managing its finances.
In the DomPost this morning, Te Papa chairman Evan Williams denies that there are financial difficulties. But he doesn't deny the rumours.
In a report from Dave Burgess, he's quoted as saying:
"The rumours that Te Papa is in some sort of financial difficulty, or is insolvent, or has auditors in, or some suggestions of statutory management, are simply not true. In any respect they are not true. The board had sought advice from external consultants as they built new financial systems. There have been advisers in the building, there are advisers in the building all the time. We have regular visits from Audit New Zealand in a regular way. There is nothing irregular going on." Te Papa had "recently implemented tighter expenditure controls" that were "perfectly proper and perfectly sensible".
Mr Williams told the DomPost that departure of Mike Houlihan was "an entirely separate matter" to his performance as chief executive at Te Papa. In a TV3 interview broadcast at 6pm last night, he was questioned about Mr Houlihan's performance. His reply: "There's nothing in particular that I need to explain to you. It's not an issue that's relevant any more." His response raises more issues than it answers. The chief executive's performance had been an issue?
Mr Houlihan is being moved to a new job at the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Though there's no such announcement on the ministry's website this morning, there was a press release last night saying he'll be starting on May 12 as a Special Adviser on Military Heritage. It's referred to as a secondment, but he won't be returning to Te Papa. A new chief executive is to be sought.
More light needs to be shed on the situation at Te Papa. Not only for taxpayers, but also for Wellington ratepayers who make a large annual contribution to its budget. As local MP Grant Robertson tweeted last night: Trouble at Te Papa. Major questions for Chris Finlayson. How did things get this bad?
An even more pointed question from Hamish Keith: Te Papa is not Wellington's museum. It holds the national collections and the nation is owed an explanation of what is going on there.
January 2010: Houlihan chosen for "distinguished record of leadership"
April 2012: Te Papa versus the WCC
May 2014: Departing suddenly, but keeping one link with Te Papa

Te Papa and the 'powers' that be should have stuck by Michelle Hippolite, the former acting CEO, who by ALL accounts took over the reins with skill and passion! Then the NZ cringe set in and we just HAD to have another overseas signing! Has never worked in the past! How about looking internal to TePapa or god-forbid NZ!
Keith Ross, 5. May 2014, 14:31
the next government should make it a policy to hire inside our own country and to use our own companies where possible. The trains in Dunedin were a great example of save pennies now to lose dollars and jobs later. I and surely many kiwis are sickened to see the high paying jobs going to foreigners who have been headhunted outside NZ. Charity begins at home.

Where's the desk? This is one of my Murphy beds that it not only has a desk, but it is hidden. I call this one the Smithsonian. Most of the time adding a desk the the front looks, just that, you added a desk to the front. It doesn't looked planned. This one the desk folds up into the inner frame. The top/center doors become the legs and the other two center doors come down attached to the bottom of the bed.
I've built a few of these but this is the first time in a white lacquer. This one was built in June 2011 A few changes to this one is I kept the top doors square at the top instead of the normal arch. Also there is no fluting or rosettes on the edge of the face. The crown is a lot larger on this project the I normally use.

Aint that true. For most boxers though, this is what they have to look forward to when they hang up their gloves... a modest lifestyle and a modest job. Its probably only the top 1% that retire as millionaires.

GIVE THE DEVILS THEIR DUE: In New Jersey, John Brennan reported a Devils official said that the team already has "added more than 1,000 new full-season ticketholders for next season," despite recording its first sub-.500 season and only second non-playoff season since '88-89. In addition, the Devils official indicated that early season-ticket renewals are "up more than 20 percent compared to this time last year." Devils fans said that the "intensity level" for games at Prudential Center later in the season "was remarkable -- even unprecedented -- for regular-season contests." Brennan: "What that did was demonstrate to casual fans who haven't experienced NHL playoff hockey, due to prices or a misperception that all the games are long sold out, how dramatic an NHL building can get when the pressure is on" (NORTHJERSEY.com, 4/11).
FIT FOR THE KINGS: In L.A., Hoornstra & Berka reported Kings President of Business Operations Luc Robitaille "jumped at the chance to return" to Europe to start the '11-12 NHL season when he was approached by the league. The AEG-owned Kings will play regular-season games in Sweden and Germany, and Robitaille said, "The buildings that we're playing in are part of the AEG family." He noted that the Kings "will play three road games against East Coast-based teams after returning from Europe" (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 4/12).

It's no secret hockey is at a crossroads when it comes to violence and body contact.
Fighting is a constant source of debate and there is still a considerable distance to cover before the stewards of the game reach a consensus on whether it stays or goes. The same is true of heavy hitting.
It used to be an open-ice bodycheck delivered without the help of an elbow, knee or stick was fair game. If you had your head down and somebody rocked you, that was kind of your own fault.
But with the increased awareness around concussions and their long-term effects, that is no longer the case. A hard hit, especially one to the head, is now a major no-no … I think.
I say that because, like the people who play the game and those who coach and manage it, no one is really sure. Is a careless player with his head down still fair game? I suppose it depends on how hard you hit him. Or does it? I'm not sure anymore and I don't think I like this grey area.
Don't get me wrong, I love the progress we've made around our attitudes toward player safety. Our brains are precious organs that need to be handled with extreme care. But to see that through, we need clarity in the rules.
Right now, we're stuck in an endless push and pull between the old and new school. There are merits to both positions but the people who run the game need to reach a resolution because too many folks are confused.
Obviously this is on my mind because of the Justin Hache hit on Philippe Gadoury at the Metro Centre on Saturday. In case you missed it, Cape Breton's Hache coasted into a rushing Gadoury and stopped him dead in his tracks with a textbook north-south hit that used to be considered completely legal.
You could reasonably argue Hache didn't come at Halifax's Gadoury with excessive intent, hit him square and kept his elbows down, at least until his natural inertia carried his arms through Gadoury after he made contact. It was an old-school blow that used to be celebrated.
You can even go so far as to suggest Gadoury didn't do enough to prevent being crushed. He strode full speed through the neutral zone with his head down, leaving Hache with little choice but to bang into him. Had Hache pulled back or stepped out of the way, I can guarantee he would have heard about it from his coaches. You can't give one of the other team's top players a free pass to make plays on his terms.
So with all those factors on its plate, the QMJHL found itself in a quandary that was, at least in part, self-inflicted. The league leaders have truly never laid out in black and white what constitutes allowable body contact.
In this case, they took three days to wrestle with the decision and, ultimately, handed Hache a three-game suspension. This doesn't necessarily offend me from any perspective because I can see merit in interpreting the hit in more than one way.
But the problem is there will be more hits like the Hache one. Lots of them. Because of that, the league needs to speed up the process of clearly establishing right and wrong for all forms of body contact.
They need to decide once and for all if the parameters of hitting should be confined only to jostling for body position and reasonably attempting to separate the opponent from the puck. It certainly seems the game, in general, is trending in that direction.
But until the league administrators officially arrive at that point no one will be 100 per cent sure of what's clean and what isn't. That's a difficult way for all involved to proceed.

--Comex August gold up 0.5% at $1,284.20 a troy ounce
--Gold draws strength from Bernanke's noncommittal stance on stimulus tapering
--Bernanke says lower gold prices linked to easing investor fears
(Adds settlement price table.)
By Tatyana Shumsky
NEW YORK--Gold futures climbed Thursday as some traders gleaned a dovish message from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony to the Senate.
The most actively traded contract, for August delivery, rose $6.70, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,284.20 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Mr. Bernanke again said there has been no decision on when to reduce the Fed's bond purchases, telling lawmakers "it's way too early to make any judgment." The central bank's easy money efforts have been key to keeping interest rates down and prompted many investors to buy gold as a hedge against perceived risks like higher inflation and a weaker dollar.
Gold prices drew strength from the Fed chairman's noncommittal stance. However, many market watchers say the overall outlook for gold remains bearish as the Fed plans to rein in its bond purchases in the near future, rather than expand them.
"Bernanke wants to start implementing his strategy before he leaves, and that's going to boost the dollar and be bearish gold," said Rich Ilczyszyn, chief executive at Chicago futures brokerage iiTrader.
Gold prices have slumped close to three-year lows in recent weeks amid anticipation that stronger economic data would pave the way for the Fed to roll back its stimulus measures.
These worries were stoked Thursday, with prices briefly falling into negative territory after weekly data showed U.S. jobless claims fell by 24,000 to a seasonally adjusted 334,000 in the week ended July 13. The four-week moving average, a broader measure of claims that seeks to smooth out weekly volatility, fell by 5,250 to 346,000 last week.
"While there has been only a limited amount of economic data released thus far in the current quarter, we are seeing encouraging evidence that activity is firming on a number of fronts," said Joseph Lavorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, in a research note.
Mr. Bernanke himself said lower gold prices are likely reflecting less investor appetite for the metal, as fears about "extreme outcomes" for the economy continue to fade.
"Gold is an unusual asset. It's an asset that people hold as a sort of disaster insurance," Mr. Bernanke said in response to a question at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
Settlements (ranges include open-outcry and electronic trading): London PM Gold Fix: $1,283.25; previous PM $1,297.25 Aug gold $1,284.20, up $6.70; Range $1,273.30-$1,287.90 Sep silver $19.389, down 6.7 cents; Range $19.215-$19.570 Oct platinum $1,414.80, up $3.80; Range $1,406.10-$1,419.90 Sep palladium $747.50, up $12.05; Range $726.60-$751.60

Your Black Politics: Bob Beckel's Racist Tirade Against Charles Barkley
In an interview with CNN's Campbell Brown, Monday night, NBA legend, Charles Barkley, mentioned that racism was still an integral part of U.S. political life. Surprisingly, FOX News wasn't to happy about it, and talk-show host, Sean Hannity, made much hoopla about it on his show last night. "Liberal Commentator," Bob Beckel, was featured as a guest to provide some analysis on Barkley's charge. Beckel responded saying, "I would rather take the words of a drunk on the corner down here on politics than Charles Barkley's… He's a great basketball player, but he ought to stay there. That's exactly right. And not wander into our neighborhood, you know." What does Beckel mean by "our neighborhood?" Perhaps, in Beckle and FOX News's minds, Black athletes can only function one-dimensionally. This might explain why politically-conscious athletes like Etan Thomas have become increasingly marginalized in mainstream athleticism:
