Some lanes will be closed on Louise Avenue starting Tuesday which might cause some big backups at a very busy part of town.
Work started on Friday on Louise Avenue, between 34th Street and 41st Street. Then crews took a break through the weekend and the Veterans Day Holiday. Tuesday it all starts back up. The outside southbound lane on Louise Avenue will be closed between 34th Street and 41st Street, but traffic will be maintained in both directions at all times. Work is expected to be completed within 4 days. Being that the intersection of 41st and Louise is the busiest intersection in the state you might want to think about avoiding this area.
This concrete repair stems from a water main break earlier this year. Back in march you might remember one night there were several water main breaks all over town. One of them was on this stretch of Louise Avenue. A temporary fix was put in place back in September but now a permanent fix needs to be done.
Starting at 8:15 Wednesday morning crews will be working on a sanitary sewer manhole at the intersection of West Burnside Street and North Western Avenue. The westbound traffic lane on Burnside Street will be closed at the intersection with traffic being shifted into the turn lane. Right-hand turns onto northbound Western Avenue will be restricted and traffic instead will be directed to Sigler Avenue. All through traffic on Western Avenue will be maintained. This work should be done on Saturday but you will need to slow down in this area.
Starting today crews will be working at the intersection of Ninth Street and Western Avenue. The intersection at Ninth Street along the east side of Western Avenue will be closed. Detour signs will be placed to direct traffic around the closure. No parking will be allowed along Western Avenue within the vicinity of the construction zone. Traffic lanes along Western Avenue will be adjusted to maintain traffic in both directions. This work should be done on Friday. You will need to slow down in this area.

The OOTP series has always been renowned for the freedom it gives the gamer to be able to customize their league in countless ways.
The most innovative baseball simulation game on the planet is on the brink of releasing their latest edition. Anyone that has played a previous version should know just how highly addictive the series is. Anyone with aspirations of working in a front office or managing on field will be engaged in everything OOTP14 has to offer. For you baseball nerds that are unfamiliar with OOTP from years past will soon have a new outlet to fritter away free time during the summer months.
The first thing I noticed were the updated visuals, and I must say the game looks as good as ever. But to be clear this isn't just a fresh coat of paint from it's predecessor. The development team added features as well as some minor tweaks to add to the overall gaming experience.
The roster sets are as impressive as ever. All the legitimate prospects in the Royals system were there. As well as fringe prospects like Brett Eibner and Brian Fletcher. What I also find compelling is the hundreds of real players from the 2013 first-year player draft that have been included as well. It's worth mentioning that they've based ML player ratings on the Baseball Prospectus projection system, which is really cool if you ask me. Most of the players are accurately represented, but if you're a perfectionist you can always tweak players skills if you choose to play in commissioner mode.
I'm enthralled by how the development team has implemented a seasonal period for signing amateur international free agents. You now have the luxury of filling your minor league pipeline with talent by signing players out of that seasonal pool. You do have a cap of $3 million that you will need to stay under or be slapped with cap penalties. Whether you sign several lower upside prospects or splurge over the cap for that potential future all-star is all up to you.
Your head scout will still discover hidden prospects like before and they'll be assigned to your organizations International Complex as well as your own signings from the amateur pool. You can watch them develop and decide when to put them on one of minor league clubs. If you haven't taken any action on these players by the time they're 20 years old, they'll automatically be placed on your rookie league squad.
Established International free agents can still play a part in upgrading your 25 man roster. Maybe the next Yu Darvish will be lurking in your signing pool? Independent leagues are hidden within the game, but you can even sign that long shot player with dreams of having any role in the big show.
You can now get monthly reports on how players across your organization are developing. Whether they're improving skills or regressing, it's easier than ever to stay on top of hundreds of players.
Every year it seems a little easier to navigate around to access the information you need, and this version is no different. As a saber geek I'm sorting through stats quite frequently, but the development team wins big merit points for putting the WAR statistic on the players main profile page Another nice little touch that I took notice in was a graphical depth chart was added. It can come in handy to players that simulate through most of their games and prefer it setting depth charts on the lineup page.
The realism goes unrivaled when comparing this game to any other on the baseball gaming market. All of the new storylines go a long way in making your league feel even more real. The witty stories pop up more frequently than OOTP13. Making you laugh and cringe at the same time when an integral player on your team gets suspended or injured.
The out of the park baseball series has had a solid foundation in place for years, but with the bevy of new features and countless tweaks make this a must buy. OOTP 14 will be released on April 15th for those that missed out on pre-ordering. So take the helm of your favorite franchise and enjoy the ride!

With every good party or event a plan has to be formulated. Then, one should always do a "dress rehersal" before said event. I did a few of those yesterday. Test fired the Dolphin grill,.......perfect ! No problems at all, worked like a champ. Now I just need to get that bitch to Buffalo. But for me, it's the flagpole that is one of the most important aspects to this trip. Season opener, in enemy territory,......we need the flagpole to be right & tight ! Yesterday was just a tad windy here in Ohio. And when I got put the flag up she looked great !!!
Just a few more things to take care of before I am ready to hit the road. Namely,.....the tunes. With all the extra cargo space I've deciced to bust out the home stereo system ( big Infinity speakers ). My friends know I rock hard, 8AM Sunday I'm Blasting Metallica's The Shortest Straw, followed by Battery. Or maybe I should kick it of with some Rage, Know your Enemy !!!! Whatever,.....it's on !!! The season is almost here, but these last few days are going to seem like a lifetime. However, I bet the 6 hour drive to Buffalo will pass like a blink of an eye,.....weird.

text: there is no secrete that the offense has stuggled all season. No idenity , inexperienced line, coordinator controversey. But all in all i think alot of people are overlooking the thing that could very well turn the season around for us. "THE DEFENSE" . Yes the offense has only scored in the 20's once this year. But the defense has only allowed 20 points once this year. With the exception of a couple of big plays given up to FIU even "THE WEAK SPOT" the corners have played well Johnson Conner and Bushell i think have performed rather well. And people arent scoring in bunches on us. Marshall and North Carolina are prime examples. The North Carolina game the first touch down wasnt scored until the 3rd quarter. And in the Marshall game i believe they scored in the first and fourth quarter so if our defense can hold up.,,. Like they have for the rest of the year. maybe that will give the offense the time they need to sort things out. And look out if we actually do get things the click because then we might could do some damage in conference play. With every teams offensive lines looking shakey thus far and considering the fact that most of the quarterbacks in the league are up and down at times it really is anyones league

Lions wide receiver Ryan Broyles will need another knee operation after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday's loss to Indianapolis.
Broyles hurt his right knee, and coach Jim Schwartz says the promising rookie will need surgery. He also tore an ACL while he was a senior at Oklahoma, but that was in his left knee.
With Broyles out, the Lions suddenly have a very thin receiving corps behind star Calvin Johnson. Schwartz said Monday that Titus Young is away from the team again - and he gave no indication when or if the exiled receiver might return. Detroit previously lost Nate Burleson to a season-ending knee injury.
Broyles has 22 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

It was last October when we reported that Eddie Murphy had pretty much buried the idea of a 4th Beverly Hills Cop movie, when he told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview that "none of the movie scripts were right; it was trying to force the premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn't be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong."
In that same conversation, Eddie did add that, while a movie was highly unlikely, a TV show was a possibility, stating "what I'm trying to do now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley's son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit. I'd do the pilot, show up here and there..."
Skip ahead some 10 months later to a New York magazine/Vulture report this evening, stating that the idea for a Beverly Hills Cop TV series is now a definite reality.
The report says that Murphy has teamed up with Shawn Ryan (creator of The Shield, as well as the upcoming The Last Resort) and Sony Pictures Television, to produce a small screen version of the film franchise, as a serial, and that the idea was being pitched to a number of TV networks this very afternoon.
A question is whether the idea they're pitching is the same one that Eddie mentioned in the Rolling Stone interview last year.
But Vulture was able to confirm that it'll be "a buddy cop show... an hourlong crime procedural with strong comedic elements," and that Eddie would appear in the pilot and maybe a few special episodes during the first season; but he wouldn't be the star.
Given the parties involved, notably Eddie, Shawn Ryan, the Beverly Hills Cop franchise itself, I'd like to think that this wouldn't be a hard sell to networks. I'd imagine one of them would be willing to take a chance on whatever these guys are selling.
The 3 films in the film franchise (which started out strong, but got successively worse) grossed over $735 million worldwide, and the first film was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar in 1985. It was also Murphy's first full-fledged starring vehicle.
ALM | August 29, 2012 12:52 PM
You know what's so funny? As I read the first three sections I was thinking to myself, "this can only work if it airs on a network like FX", and lo and behold he's working with someone who worked on "The Shied". FX has a rep for these type of flashy yet edgy cop/firemen shows. The only difference is that this show would have more comedic undertones to it. This show and a reboot of "In Living Color" would probably mesh well as back to back shows.
Firebrand | August 29, 2012 2:02 AM
The first two were equally great for different reasons, it's really hard to compare them. The third one, not so much.

Two things are glaringly obvious: Antonio Silva made out like a bandit, and the ladies were completely screwed.
The small fortune "Bigfoot" came away with is a tidy $120,000 pay bump from his $80,000 performance against Ricco Rodriguez. It's kind of bizarre that -- officially -- he made almost double what Lawler and Smith made combined, but maybe that's the Showtime money.
As for Cyborg and Baszler, there's really no explanation other than that they were -- again, officially -- criminally underpaid for one of the best fights of the night.

Dougherty County -- Usually when a traffic cop stops you and hands you a piece of paper, you're not real happy. But Friday was different.
Dougherty County Police, Albany Police, and Albany State University Police held several traffic checks along with a Chick-Fil-A cow.
They were awarding safe drivers wearing their seat belts with a coupon for a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich. Lt. Thomas Jackson said "we're hoping to rise awareness and going into Memorial Day, half the traffic deaths can be avoided by wearing their seat belt. "
Chick-Fil-A inside the Albany Mall Manager Lovett Young said "we just wanted to do anything that we could to allow the Police to get there and kind of be heroes."
But officers say while they are giving nice warnings and gifts today, next week starts Click It or Ticket. These officers will hold traffic stops, and they will hand out tickets to people not buckled up, trying to save lives.

anybody else read that article?
i tried to find it online but couldn't find anything.
the article was a good 5 or so pages
it detailed how sterling started out and got his riches buying real estate in souther california in the 60s onward and held onto them. then his ownership of the clippers. the article wasn't afraid to bash sterling about every aspect of his life from his blatant racism and discrimination to his ridiculous cheapness when it comes to the clippers and just about everything else
some good tid bits from the article
clippers are 701-1317 overall since sterling moved the clippers to la
.347 winning % is the worst outof any sports team of all the four major sports
i don't think there is as much blame on past gms and coaches as there is on sterling
something i couldn't believe was that... sterling refused to pay a $1000 prize for a free throw contest until he was sued for fraud.. are you kidding me? $1000?
it also details how sterling is notorious for how he recommends meals for his guests without ordering anything for himself... and forces them to share with him...
WTF. who does that!? That's the first time i've ever heard anyone do that... let alone a billionaire
His business practices are also blatantly racist. Sterling "wanted tenants that fit his image... no blacks, no mexican-americans, no children... all the blacks in this building, they smell, they're not clean... mexicans that just sit around and smoke and drink all day... so we have to get them out of here." When asked to do mandatory repairs for a black tenant in one his apartments, he rufused and said "i am not going to do that. just evict the bitch"
also his sexual harassment charges go on and on forever... "when you pay a woman for sex, you are not together with her."
the article just left a really bad taste in my mouth... just made me hate sterling even more. only shining light is... he's 76 and hopefully on the way out... i know, it's a terrible thing to say... but c'mon... he's a terrible person.

Outspoken Arkansas Appeals Judge Loses Election
Posted May 22, 2008 7:21 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
An appeals judge in Arkansas who fought for the right to criticize President Bush has lost his re-election bid.
Wendell Griffen "lost decisively," the Associated Press reports.
Last year a state judicial discipline panel dropped charges against the outspoken Griffen for remarks made outside the courtroom.
The ethics complaint had cited Griffen for comments on current events, including his criticism of the Iraq war, the government response to Hurricane Katrina, and President Bush's nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to be chief justice.

David Letterman: When I see people, especially people that we've elected to represent us in Washington and other people like doctors, lawyers, and people we look up to— like you for example, there is an automatic presumption that here's a person that doesn't take pictures of their reproductive organs and send them out to people around the country. I don't know, and I don't want to know… but I don't think that you do that.Rachel Maddow: *takes a long pause and sips drink* You are correct, sir.
This woman right here will always be one of my favorite Letterman guests.

TCU Announces Conference Schedule Tuesday
July 9, 2013
FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU volleyball program announced its 2013 Big 12 conference slate Tuesday.
The league sent a total of five teams to the NCAA Tournament this past season, marking the fourth-straight year in which the Big 12 has had five or more teams earn postseason bids. The conference has also now had 11 squads advance to the NCAA Final Four since 1996.
The Big 12 has hoisted three NCAA Championships since its inception, while Texas (No. 1), Iowa State (No. 14) and Kansas (No. 25) all wrapped-up the 2012 campaign ranked in the final AVCA poll. In all, the Big 12 has had three teams finish in the top 25 during each year and a total of 67 top 25 finishes all-time.
Broadcast information for all matches will be announced at a later date. Dates are subject to change based off of television.
The Horned Frogs begin conference play at home on Wednesday, Sept. 25 against defending National Champion Texas, who went 29-4 last season on its way to the title. Following a trip to 2012 NCAA Tournament participant Kansas on Saturday, Sept. 28, the Frogs return home to open the month of October against West Virginia on Oct. 2.
TCU will continue play in October at K-State on Saturday, Oct. 5. The Wildcats qualified for the NCAA field a year ago and finished the season receiving votes in the national poll. After returning to Fort Worth to battle Texas Tech (Oct. 12), the Purple and White will head to Waco for a mid-week match against Baylor (Oct. 16).
Following a home contest against Oklahoma, who captured 22 wins and fell in the second round of the NCAA field a year ago, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, TCU will close the month with back-to-back road contests at Iowa State (Oct. 26) and Texas (Oct. 30). The Cyclones are coming off a season in which they advanced to the final round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament and closed the year with a 22-7 record.
The Frogs open the month of November with two-straight conference games at the University Rec Center against Kansas (Nov. 2) and Baylor (Nov. 9), respectively. The Purple and White will then hit the road for back-to-back games against Oklahoma on Wednesday, Nov. 13 and West Virginia on Saturday, Nov. 16.
TCU will close the home portion of its schedule with matches against Iowa State (Nov. 23) and K-State (Nov. 27), before traveling to Texas Tech on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pilsener glass. Pours a straw yellow color, with a slight haze, capped by a fluffy white 1/2" lid.
Has a nice grassy aroma, with hints of lemon, mild malt, and cracker.
Smooth tasting, with a malty start. Grass, clover, lemon zest, and dandelion combine for a refreshing taste. Finishes with a mild bit of hop.
Light to medium bodied, this is a refreshing, but not a crisp, beer, that lightly dries the tongue at the finish. The feel is too soft for me to call this a crisp brew.
A nice summer lager, I could see hitting this a few times on a hot summer day. This beer is not hurt at all by serving it ice cold, still retaining all the taste and feel it has as it warms. Another quality beer from Columbus Brewing Company!

Pours a semi clouded yellow golden color with massive white head flowing thick, big chunky head at that with velvet smooth texture. Lacing is scattered nice and random around my big oversized glass. Aroma has lemon essence with biscuit dough rising in the morning kitchen, flavorwise it's a beautiful thing fresh with biscuit dough bread lightly toasted malt sweetness. Ample German hops to balance out the sweetness leaving a semi dry finish, perfect summer beer these guys from Columbus brewing are dead on. Mouthfeel is light ample lively carbonation jumps off the palate and into my senses, amazing flowing beer with enough girth from yeast sediment to truly fulfill your thirst and hunger. Overall intense simple complexity to breed drinkability if that makes sense.

O - quite pleasant for what it is, with more than minimal flavor.
A: very pale yellow gold with durable white head; slighhly hazy
Rather minimal aroma; light malt with little else. Given this, the flavor is a pleasant surprise. First, it has flavor. The flavor is rather simple but nicely malty with unmistakable hop spiciness.
M- light bodied, but with a nice bit of crispness.

I really need to be finishing up these notes from my summer tasting before Autumn...
This beer is a cloudy yellow-gold in color. The white head that forms is just over a finger tall and leaves good lacing as it drops down the glass. Activity is constant in the glass but avoids the overly spritzed effect of some overcarbonated beers often particular to lighter styles.
The aroma is grassy, and really what it is is a fairly simple balance of hops and malts with a wheat presence. If I can glean something about this beer's nature from the aroma, I'd say I'm in for something pretty dry and a little spicy with some grassy earthiness to it.
The flavor is well-balanced, as expected from the nose, and is both hoppy and tart. Grassy, lightly spicy, slightly leafy, lemon and some other (perhaps orange) zest and citrus notes blend very nicely into a light but flavorful and refreshing beer.
It's light with a bit of spritz to it but avoids the soda-like overdone spritziness, giving a good bit of crispness and also allowing for some smoothness to fill it out.
While I'm fairly new to the style, this is simply a well-constructed beer.

Thanks to Chris for bringing this to DE for me.
A: Pours an unfiltered golden color with a thick/foamy 1.5 finger white head. Nice retention and thick, sticky lacing left behind. Lots of carbonation bubbles released from the bottom.
S: Light floral and grass notes, some lemon, biscuit malt.
M: Light wheat, lemon and a bit of orange, and a bit of lager yeast. A little bit of peppery spice comes through as it warms.
M: Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. On the dry side, but still crisp.
O: A nice summer lager, refreshing and easy drinking. Couldn't ask for much more. Its only fault is the dryness.

Summer Teeth pours a light gold color. It's a little hazy, but not as much as expected. Backlighting gives it a bit of a bright yellow look. A white head tops it and stands a little less than a finger tall. It's rather quick to recede. Lacing was so light that's it's not really worth mentioning. Not bad, but not great.
The nose is okay. It's above average. It is a little weak in the aromatics department. It's yeasty up front. Definitely grainy and earthy. That resonates throughout. It features a fruity scent that's pretty good. Smells mostly like lemon. It's a tad sweet and perhaps a little sugary. Hops are more notable than I imagined. Certainly smells like grassy, noble hops to me. Alcohol is buried. I'm not getting any.
The flavor is good. It's a bit better than the nose. Although it's not complex or complicated, it is quite good. It kicks off with a very earthy, grainy flavor. It's very yeasty and a bit fruity. Lemon is definitely in the mix. Hops are really the x-factor. They're much stronger than you'd anticipate. They're grassy, and there's little doubt they're some variation of noble hops. I have no idea what the bill is though. It has a slight bitter kick to it. Alcohol is buried. Finishes grassy, yeasty, and dry.
Summer Teeth has a lighter body. Carbonation is rather light. It's a little too light to feel smooth, but it's not bad by any stretch. It's definitely light and easy drinking. I could tackle a few of these in a sitting with ease.
Summer Teeth is a nice Kellerbier. It's not a style that features a ton of pizzazz, but this is a nice release. It's pretty straight forward, tasty, and easy to drink. Who am I to argue with such a combo? Try a bottle or two and see for yourself…it's good stuff.

Poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz bottle. Appears a fairly clear golden color, with a little bit of haze. There is a thin white head that leaves a small amount of lacing.
Smells of wheat, and a slight hint of hops. Nothing that really stands out or is too overpowering. The taste is fairly sweet, honey maybe, as well as some floral notes with a decent amount of bitterness.
Great amount of carbonation, light bodied and nice and crisp. This is so easy to drink, goes down smooth and is definitely something I will buy again. Would work great at a cookout and definitely something I would say is sessionable. Another good brew from Columbus Brewing.

12 ounce bottle (2011 batch with new label). Served in a mug, the beer pours a hazy gold color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is grainy (wheat?) and sweet malt, citrusy hops (lemon peel), and a bit of grassy hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, it tastes mostly like grain/wheat/bready malt and some citrusy hops (lemon peel). Mouthfeel/body is light, it's crisp and easy to drink. I think it's a nice refreshing brew, a good choice for summertime. I can't believe I haven't tried this before, I might have to pick up some of this over the summer. Definitely worth a try.

My first Kellerbier (I think?). On tap at Columbus Brewing Company and Restaurant in Columbus, OH.
Pours a clear orange, with a half inch head, and little dots of lacing down the glass.
Smells include lightly sweet malt, citrus, and some yeast.
The taste is pretty similar. Sweeter than I expected, with some sweetness between the citrus and sweet malt flavor. Very drinkable, quite crushable.
Light bodied, very drinkable, very sessionable. Crisp, low carbonation.
A great summer beer, and another great one from this brewery.

looks like hay color with a small cap of white that seriously stayed for about a few seconds with no visible carbonation. aroma is earthy, musky grain, touches of light grass, but really rather bland and without much in the way of any depth, light feel, watery at times without any really big flavors or huge noticeable chnage from the smell. clean finish with little aftertaste left not much on the palate

Another Natto Adventure - Shiru-Bay Chopstick Café
Natto ice cream. That's right. I ordered it, I ate it...and, I loved it! Some of you may have read about my first experience with natto, the Japanese fermented (read rotting) soy bean product that oozes long sticky, mucous-like threads. I survived, but I didn't really take to it. But when you put it in some vanilla ice cream, add dark molasses and corn flakes, and mush the lot together? You wind up with a truly inspired dessert. This was the ending to a great dinner with Nori Boy at the Yaletown restaurant, Shiru-Bay Chopstick Café (1193 Hamilton St., at Davie St., 604-408-9315). The fuzzy photo below shows the dessert, after the extremely thorough mixing at the table by the server at Shiru-Bay. Unfortunately, I didn't capture the dessert when it was presented at the table. Also, the photo doesn't really show off the sticky consistency of the natto that is retained even in the vanilla ice cream, and accompaniments, but trust me it's still there. Check out the photo on the restaurant's website (in fact, all of their dishes are beautifully photographed and displayed there). The strong molasses flavour actually masks the fermented flavour of the natto, but there is something so appealing about the texture of the soft little beans amidst the gooey ice cream, as well as a bit of crunch every so often from the cornflakes. It was a huge portion at only $4. Actually, it was enough to share between two people, and I managed to talk Nori Boy into having a spoonful, but he wasn't a fan of it, like I was. He had considerable previous experience with natto and has never really liked it anyhow, but I think it had to do more with him not being a fan of dessert immediately after dinner. Kudos to him for being adventurous enough to try it anyway. In any case, this is a warning that although I liked this dessert, it is probably not for everyone. Funny thing is, I'm not even a fan of Chinese desserts that have red beans in them. For that matter, I'm not really that into beans in general. But I think that I liked this dish because the red beans in desserts are grainy and heavy feeling, whereas the soybeans are smooth and so tender. They just have such a great "mouth-feel" for me.
Natto Ice Cream, post table-side mixing
A few notes about the rest of the restaurant. Despite its Yaletown location, I found the food reasonably priced, and the atmosphere very warm and inviting. Heh, I might have to stop dismissing Yaletown so much - there are now several restaurants that I enjoy there (Amarcord, the smoked meat sandwiches at Phat, Hamilton Street Grill, Elixir in the Opus Hotel, the nearby Kolachy shop, and now Shiru-Bay Chopstick Café). I admit to being a bit of a Japan-ophile, and really enjoy the izakaya format, so perhaps I'm predisposed to enjoying this restaurant. Shiru-Bay is a chain of twenty izakaya restaurants (along with the Raku restaurants) in Tokyo, Japan. The Uno family opened the first 30 years ago, and this Vancouver restaurant is their first outside of Japan. On the Saturday night, it was busy, everyone was young and fairly casually dressed, and there was a nice upbeat energy in the air, yet we were still able to relax and hear each other talk easily in this room.
Nori Boy and I ordered the popular Chili Ebi Mayo ($9.80), and it was fantastic - big, plump prawns decadently drenched in spicy mayonnaise, served with almonds and (decorative) wonton skin chips. I loved the look of the dramatic slash of chili sauce across the plate too.
Chili Ebi Mayo
We also had the seasonal sashimi salad ($9.80) which was very nice, big, and well-dressed (yes, I'm still talking about the salad), and the tako wasa ($4.50), wasabi marinated raw octopus. This was served with small sheets of nori, and I ate it, and it was fine, but it wasn't to my taste. I would probably not order this one again, but that is purely personal preference. I am sure that it's a very competent rendition of that dish. We also enjoyed their drink special for that night of the week, a pitcher of sangria. We chose their white sangria, which is a nice cocktail for my sweet-tooth, with little tiny cubes of strawberries and other fruit floating in the white wine mixture. Our server was delightful to talk to, and service was great throughout the evening, including even our departure, where a staff person was ready at the door, offering us a chocolate Hershey Hug before we stepped outside. I've only had one visit so far, but I'd love to go back. Too bad tonight is the last night of "Taste of Yaletown" but I think this place is great even without any special deals. You'll still spend a little more money than at a Guu restaurant, but it's great to add another nice izakaya to the list of options around town. I would say that because of the large size of the place and the lack of server shrieking, it's a nice pick for a pleasant, casual date with an adventurous eater. Well, really, why would you want to date an unadventurous eater anyway?

Editor&Publisher: New AP regional investigative teams will boost CAR and data journalism
The Associated Press (AP) is creating four regional investigative teams to support its staff across the US with "reporting and presentation resources", in particular by using journalists with expertise in computer-assisted reporting (CAR), Flash interactives and access to public records.
Now, any reporter in a region who has an idea for a story that requires high-level data analysis will have a partner. If an editor has an idea for a project that lends itself to an interactive map or another data-driven multimedia project, they can work with the team. When a big, breaking story happens anywhere in the country, we'll tap the region's I-team [the name given to the newly created teams] to begin digging into public records and inspection reports while the story is still developing, not days after the fact.

"This card was even better than I expected. The slightly cream-colored background sets off the photos with their white borders. I selected the color pattern of the lettering (three choices) that went best with my photos. Chose the multi-colored back which was stunning with the photo.I like that that you can write whatever you want under Happy Holidays. Many recipients have raved about this card."
"We wanted to find a card that had some "non-traditional" colors to go along with our pink cozy coupe that our daughter was driving in the photo. This card was PERFECT! Every single person that received one absolutely loved it. We have even had people tell us it was their favorite card of the year. I loved having the option of adding additional photos on the back."
"I love the simplicity of the card with subtle details. The layout was perfect for the types of photos I wanted to use. I really do love the options we get to customize our card. Great job. Couldn't be happier. All my friends have said how beautiful our card is!"
"Love our holiday cards. The design is beautiful and the foil printing is absolutely gorgeous. Very happy and love Baumbirdy!"
"We used the red version for our holiday card and it turned out great. We worried a little our picture would come out dark but it turned out great. We've gotten so many compliments."

I went to St. Benedict's Day Nursery as a child. Graduated from there and went to Manhattan Country School. My cousin just graduated from K and is going to Spence. We are a blessed family to have had a great education. Great school!!
The teachers do a very good job in teaching but it appears that resources are lacking. I was suprised there was no parent association. The school needs to encourage more parent input. Since September, there were no trips to musems, zoos, or other educational programs. It was great that Harlem School of the Arts came for a period to give lessons to the students on site. The space for learning and play is cramped. The Director tried to get a space for the children to exert their energy through the use of a recreational facility but we were told that the arrangement fell through. Also, the Director should be more on hands and present in helping students get into private schools after Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten. It was great that Harlem School of the Arts came for a period to give lessons to the students.
My daughter just started St Benedicts and thus far I feel the school, teachers and administrators are beyond GREAT!! Her teacher, Ms. Mallison, is terrific and comes to the school with an extensive background in education. She truly cares for her students and their educational growth. I am very pleased with St Benedicts.
Great school. My grand dausghter left St. Benedict's a strong reader. The teachers are wonderful. Best preK program I know.
I have to say, this is the best school ever. The curriculum excels every thing. They truly do an outstanding job and the children graduate knowing all they need to know. My daughter is currently in PreK4 and the things she knows is amazing. She knows how to read, write, put sentences together, subtraction, addition, fractions and so much more. They can go any where from this point. Im glad my daughter will be going there for kindergarden - it will open more doors for her as far as schools. Love this school.
This is a wonderful, structured and well educated environment. The students leave this school one grade level ahead! My daughter attends St. Benedicts and because of this, she was accepted to The Spence School.
My Child enrolled in St. Benedicts in September, and I must say I am very pleased with the service that is provided, my child is happy and her learning skills has been enhanced. She looks forward to her daily class participation and homework assignment. I would definitely recommend this school to other working parents.
Outstanding school. Great support system for families. They do an outstanding job of getting the children ready for the challenges of primary school. They also continue to provide support to the children after they have left St. Benedicts. I am happy and my daughters happy at St. Benedicts. What more could a parent ask for.
Wonderful school. Great atmosphere for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Children learn both social and academic skills. Supportive parent group. Both parents and administrators are focused on finding good private or academically challenging public schools for the children.

Sandy still haunts my home!Hello all! I'm new to this forum and would like
to introduce myself. I am a Hurricane Sandy survivor and rebuilding my
home everyday!
The first two levels of my home were flooded. At first, I had my boiler
fixed and my water heater replaced. The heating (single pipe system)
was working perfectly fine in all rooms of the house (I have radiators
in each room). Later, many plumbers told me I needed to replace my
boiler being it was under salt water and will give problems in the
future. So, now I have a brand new boiler. The problem, is that the
rooms on the very top floor have no heat. The radiators get warm but never get really hot. The people who replaced the
boiler couldn't understand why the heat upstairs stopped working and
took no responsibility for it. I've had plumbers come in and bleed them
out, adjust the pressure, put water in the system and nothing works.
The last plumber that came in has recommended that the pressure pump be
replaced with a stronger one, but could not guarantee that would fix the
Any ideas on what could be the problem?

The fury of sandyThe storm seems to have unleashed a hoard of untrained boilermen onto the other problems wrought by that storm.
In order to solve these problems, you need to find a real steam expert.
I suspect your boiler may not have been piped according to the mfg's instructions, and if so will never work properly. Send us some pictures of the boiler and it's piping, and we can begin to help you solve the problems.
Make sure you start a new thread in the steam section for best results.--NBCThis post was edited by an admin on March 26, 2013 4:46 AM.

It's a single-pipe hot-water systemnot steam. Those look like Taco venturi tees, which would make it a Taco-One rather than a Monoflo.
Somehow the water isn't moving- bad circulator maybe? Or the supply and return might be reversed?

What is the pressureread the gauge, how high is your top floor? Looks to me from that gauge its low.... You need water pressure to get the water up to the top floor....
When I install a new boiler I go to the ceiling minimum with replacement parts, looks like they just snuck in a new boiler, used old purge tees and valves, which would have been much easier to change at the time of the swap out... But its not as bad as others I have seen... Seems like sandy had a lot of guys in a hurry...This post was edited by an admin on March 26, 2013 8:07 AM.

Pumping away?Is the system Pumping Away?
Pressure maybe a little low.
Air Separator may help (if its an air problem)
Durachka March 26, 2013 @ 8:31 PM

pressure gaugeHere's where the pressure gauge is at.
The 2nd to last plumber told me the pressure needs to be between 20-30 after the radiators are bled and water is "put into the system.' He told me every time I bleed out a radiator, I need to go and release this valve to put water in until the meter is between 20-30.
Is there a chance the pressure should be higher? The last time I bled out one of the radiators, the water was pumping out strong and was hot. But still no heat.
And yes, that last picture in the previous post was of venturi tees.This post was edited by an admin on March 26, 2013 8:39 PM.

Re: flow problems etcwhat would really help is if you have pics of the old boiler also. We can then compare what it use to look like and what it looks like now. Do you know if the black pump on side of boiler at chest high was original or is it new? I feel the problem is one of 2 things. Pump is now pumping wrong direction for one pipe system or pump is too small and they did change it. See if you have pictures of the bad boiler installed. I think this will tell us all. May the heat be with you. Tim

HmmThey certainly stuck those pumps on the return. Does the 3 speed pump serve the poorly heating zone or does the black one? Looks like they put a new 3 speed taco and recycled the old 007. It's gotta be either the reversal of the supply/return in the piping, a bad pump, or an air pocket that they failed to dislodge.

Re: pump size or flow directionMy best guess is that flow is reversed but also I think the black pump is serving the main system and the back green pump serves a basement zone maybe? It is a 3/4 line that heads behind boiler off green pump so I think that may be basement. The black pump I think would be to small for monoflow main house system which would explain lack of flow on top floor. Pressure on system looks ok. I think it probably should be closer to a up26-64 or 26-99 Grundfos pump for monoflow. Just a guess depending on the size of the system which we don't know?
Durachka March 27, 2013 @ 12:46 PM

pump it upIt looks like the black pump goes up into the ceiling, so
I'm guessing it serves upstairs. If there is a reversal in the piping or an air
pocket, why haven't any of the plumbers suggested that? I think the gate valves are open all the way
because if closed, the heating downstairs would have stopped too.
tim smith: How would I find out what the size of the system
is? The last plumber suggested a bigger
pump, but said he couldn't' guarantee that would fix the problem.

Some more picturesYou take some good pictures. How about a few more. That looks like a B&G Flowtrol on the ceiling. I've put a few arrrows on things I'd like to see in this picture.
It looks like there is no check valve keeping the smaller circuit isolated from the larger. If I think like water, I'd probably take the low road rather than pump against gravity.

You could try swapping the pumpsThat 007 should be enough to serve upstairs. Most likely you had 2 007s to begin with. But given that you have a 3 speed (running on LOW currently) sitting right there, you could swap it in place of the black 007 and run on HI just to see if it fixes things. Again, I think this is reaching a little since typically a single 007 would be able to handle both upstairs and down, no prob.

There are arrows there both pointing downSo circs themselves are oriented correctly, although not ideally since they are on the return vs the preffered pumping away on the supply location. The black pump and I am assuming that it's a Taco 007 is a style of pump that is usually included with a packaged boiler. I am assuming they re-used that one from your original boiler. The other pump that is green is a 3 speed one. If it is indeed a pump issue, you could install the green one in place of the black one and test it on HI.

ReL pump size and flow directionI think it would help if you could get as many angles of pics of the boiler piping as possible. I would like to see what direction the airow is on that taco air scoop near back wall that has small brass air vent on it. The Green block looking thing back behind main piping at shoulder height. Get several angles. Also, maybe someone will chime in on the direction on those taco 1 pipe venturi tees, maybe we can back track to boiler to verify flow direction. If flow direction is correct, I think a ups26-99fc Grundfos might be a good choice to replace black pump, try different speeds but again, depends on how much radiation is connected to that zone? Snap close up of the fitting at ceiling below radiator in the one pic at top of post, it is that black tee fitting on left side of pipe going up to radiator. Good luck, T

I'm going to guessthe pumps are pumping the correct way, or the same direction as they were on the old boiler... Since they are mounted low, and the contractor who did the job obviously just did a fast pull and push installation... And I would say the old system had the circs on the return like most older systems.. So that I don't thin is the problem....
And as already stated a 007 should be enough to pump this system unless there is something I am not seeing...
We need to know what else the contractor changed?
Were the original pumps 00's? or did they look different? Like big electric motors with an exposed coupling?
If you are up to it I will tell you exactly what I would do on your service call...
First check the boilers temp and pressure {should be 180 high limit and around 20psi under 30 obviously
then I would call in the second floor thermostat and make sure the circulator was moving the water, in the rite direction {hence when the circ kicks in {you can normally hear or feel it} the pipe coming out of the boilers top should get hot and the one going in the bottom should get cold warm then hot {depending where you are in the cycle}.
After that happened I would go and check the temps in the radiators to see if they are getting warmer... also keeping an eye on the zone not calling, to make sure the heat wasnt going to another zone.
If they are not, I am thinking AIR first, so I will bleed the entire system then the radiators individually....
If the problem persisted I would think circulation, I would do a quick measurement of pipe and rads to see what pump you needed, if you were close, I would quickly change the pumps cartridge to see if that helped...
If that still did not get me in the rite direction, I would get my thermal imager and see where the heat was going, {easy if the pipes are exposed but hard if they are not}, if the rads that are not heating up are getting passed by I would think there is a problem with the v-tees, that is if the 180* water was leaving the boiler and traveling to the radiator but not going into it and going all the way through the system and returning to the boiler at say 175* and the rads are only seeing a couple degrees on their second pipe...
So if the boilers pressures and temps are good, the heat is going in the rite direction with no check valves and or closed valves and the correct sized pump {as in leaving 180 and returning 170+ with the rads
feed never going over 150 or so}...
My next action would be a system flushing, back washing, and good conditioning/cleaning, at that time I would install a return t/p gauge {so i can watch the temps and pressures on the return and supply}.
If your problem still persisted I would want to install a globe valve on the single pipe loop in between the rads feed and return so I could force the water through them with a simple adjustment.. At that time I would try to talk you into buying some delta tee circulators {they work awesome with old radiator systems, but would first want to figure out your problem since it could make it worse} and letting me move the circs to the return..
I am confident it would be fixed after all that is done, lol... But I hate to say it wouldn't be cheap....
I would love to see someone with a t-imager go over there, see where the heat is going, I had a similar problem with a customer that had a new boiler installed, they switched from oil to gas and their radiators were sucking the heat out too fast, the boiler would go rite to 180 but after the first radiator the water was already down to 130*, I ended up putting a faster' pump in and moving the water faster, this helped but the boiler couldnt keep up, so luckily it was a a first floor loop with the piping basement exposed, so I ended up installing a bunch of globe valves and spending the time there tuning the system to get it rite, also ended up splitting the zones up a little bit... It was just a case of the new boilers mass was too low for the old systems needs, they had some re-purposed commercial radiators that I never seen before, and boy could they suck the heat out of water...This post was edited by an admin on March 28, 2013 3:46 PM.

I found a "boiler expert" who took a look around and told me there shouldn't be any issues with the boiler. He told me he needs to take down the walls to reveal the piping below the rooms that aren't receiving heat. I agreed and he's on vacation now. He said there's a single switch that needs to be on and that'll make it work, but cannot find it unless the walls come down.

Re: your boiler problemI think one of our group here on the wall should make a trip up there. If I were closer than I am here in Seattle I would do it. Maybe this is a good story for Dan to do on the trials of consumers in our heating world. I find the lack of use of the golden rule to be such a travesty sometimes. Dan??? any ideas. Or someone else from the wall able to go see this lady? I think documenting a job like this would be quiite interesting for people to follow and to see what good minds and hearts do. Maybe there is more to this story, but I see often enough the lack of good practices that fall short of providing an adequate heating system.This post was edited by an admin on April 18, 2013 9:10 AM.

I feel for her too,but in the city limits I let the city guys do their magic. The boiler was installed poorly, with the way the boiler is in the photos I would second guess the boiler size, the piping size, and the circulator size. Installing a multi-speed pump or a variable speed pump will cover up some of the sins for a small extra use of electricity as long as the boiler is the right size.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

Ill admit I have stepped outsidemy area before but NY is risky, lol.... Im sure someone has to be up there and doing things rite, time to hit the phone book until the problem is fixed, explain, I don't pay until the problem goes away... {but now we are getting into the warm seasons, this is going to be tough to remedy with no load...
I can't see why this is such a hard problem, let the boiler run to 180 then make sure just that zone is calling, if it doesnt see 170+ water at the first radiator within the time it takes to walk up there, you have too much head for that pump or the heat is being diverted, if there are no other valves and it is a straight shot, put a larger pump.... the heat has to go somewhere, even if its just staying in the pipe going up the wall, it will be somewhere, if it stops, that is because it is blocked or too much resistance for the pump...
Im curious to why no one has fixed this yet, I wish it was closer, I would run up there with an alpha and my thermal imager {get the boiler hot and zone cold, then plug the alpha into the wall recepticle and see where the heat goes if anywhere}, I'll bet real money I find the problem inside 20 minutes, whats wrong with these NY guys she is hiring, is it that bad up there rite now, I see a lot of posts on here looking for ny service, may have to open a new branch lol...This post was edited by an admin on April 20, 2013 10:15 PM.

I'm new to this thread, but Tim Smith just asked me to check it out.First, where in NYC is this home?
Second, this post is very telling to me:
"I found a "boiler expert" who took a look around and told me there shouldn't be any issues with the boiler. He told me he needs to take down the walls to reveal the piping below the rooms that aren't receiving heat. I agreed and he's on vacation now. He said there's a single switch that needs to be on and that'll make it work, but cannot find it unless the walls come down.
This is getting really frustrating and I'm surprised at the lack of knowledge on such an issue from the "experts" that have been coming to my home."
It seems to me the original poster has a big problem with the "experts" who have given her guidance that she neither understood, cannot repeat accurately, and doesn't offer the silver bullet she hopes will solve her problem.
What makes the OP think that guy has some "lack of knowledge" that must be avoided. I have ZERO idea who he is/was, but is it possible the guy was right in saying some walls must come down to expose something in the system that will help it make sense? Of course it is.
Not knowing what transpired during that conversation, you're probably not helping by suggesting she not let that person back in her house.
The helpful threshold for troubleshooting this via internet postings has clearly been met and now she needs to contract a reliable company who carries insurance and is licensed to work in her home.
To lob out suggestions from the hip just prolongs this condition and makes her feel distrustful of the people who are actually available to help.
Ladies and gentlemen, please do forgive my tone here, but I did about 60 houses under the Rapid Repairs Program here in NYC and it's been a disaster in its own right.
We were told on January 4th that our first check would be 6 weeks from then, then progress payments every 2 weeks.
We got our first payment after 13 weeks. Yes, thirteen. We're still waiting for our second check and we've spent close to $500,000 on materials, labor and admin costs to get this work done in the time frame we did.
It's not something I can recommend to anyone.
Fitting thousands of nearly destroyed homes with electric, heat and hot water was an unprecedented program and it came in with a lot of problems and left with a lot of lingering pains...for everyone.
Keep this in mind when listening to homeowners dump on the "experts" involved.
Our installations went well, but a lot were very challenging given the conditions, time frame allotted, and temporary labor we were under the gun to hire and monitor.
That's all the venting I've got for now.
Best to all.

I'd like to first say thank you to all the posters who have replied to my post: nicholas bonham-carter, Steamhead, heatpro02920, Dave H, knotgrumpy, tim smith, russiand, RobG, and John Mills. A special thank you to Charlie from wmass who called me and recommended JohnNY.
JohnNY got back to me very quickly and decided to help me despite my home being outside his usual area. He arrived promptly and not even an hour passed before he got the heat to work upstairs! I was amazed. He switched my pumps around (perhaps he can fill you out on the details). He told me my installation wasn't great but being that everything was working, I decided to leave it as is. One of the radiators is still not working but I'm going to get someone local to fix it as it isn't that big of a job. The heat is finally working and I couldn't be happier after many puzzling months.
John—THANK YOU! I will recommend Gateway Plumbing to all my Manhattan friends for any heating trouble they might have. He's a lifesaver and went well out of his way to help me without even charging me.

Finally getting back to this:There are two zones on this system.
One is a monoflo system with several radiators removed without the tees looped together and uses a Taco 007. The plugged monoflo tees are reducing gpm and adding resistance to flow that can't be spared.
The second zone uses series loop baseboard fin-tube radiation, 3/4", about 120' total and uses a Taco 0015, 3 speed pump.
I did a quick head calc and, working with what I had, switched the two pumps. It worked for the most part but there is still one radiator in the house not getting sufficient flow.
I advised to have the monoflo tees looped together and ascertain proper pump size for the 1-pipe zone. I suspect the 0015 is fine, but the piping needs alteration and the pumps should be repositioned to pump away.
Happy I could help.This post was edited by an admin on June 7, 2013 3:55 PM.

Re: John from GatewayJohn, it is nice to hear a good outcome to a not so good problem. These days all of us get so caught up in doing business that we can't always get to these small problems, i.e. PITA. They are not so small to customers but they tend to be a nagging thorn to many of us. We try our best to fix things for clients who have had less than ideal installs by others, I know there are many reasons that it may happen but in the end I still enjoy a happy customer. Kudos to you John for helping this lady out. Tim

The lyrical nature of T.S. Eliot's words continue to resonate well into the 21st century, and, in the case of one Gloucester artist, inspire.
Bruce Herman is not alone in his attraction to the work of the 20th century poet. Herman attended a dinner party with friends in New York City four years ago when the conversation encompassed a shared fascination and affinity for Eliot's masterpiece, "Four Quartets," written in 1943 during World War II.
That animated discussion inspired the massive musical and artistic collaboration "QU4RTETS," so named in reference to Eliot's provocative work, which is actually a suite of four poems. Besides Herman, the artistic friends included internationally acclaimed artist Makoto Fujimura, Yale musician Christopher Theofanidis, and Duke professor, theologian and pianist Jeremy Begbie.
The depth of Eliot's words, which some of the friends had committed to memory, propelled the artists to paint canvasses and create music in this collaboration now on tour. It comes to Gordon College in Wenham this Saturday after stops at Baylor University, Duke University, Carnegie Hall and Yale University, and before traveling internationally.
"This is a rare opportunity to work with gifted artists who are also friends in response to one of the 20th century's greatest poems," said Herman, an art professor who serves as gallery director and Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts at Gordon College in Wenham.
The April 13 event starts with a public reception at 4 p.m. followed by a panel discussion at 5 p.m. during which portions of an original score for piano and string quartet, titled "At the Still Point," will be played.
"In our collaboration, we are addressing an old painterly tradition: the four seasons and four stages of life, implicit in Eliot's poem," Herman said. "I've tried to interact directly with Eliot's use of the four elements — earth, air, fire and water — to create a set of meditations on death and resurrection while pointing toward a mysterious fifth element (quintessence)."

Did the Knicks make the right move in bringing back Carmelo Anthony?
Yes, they needed to re-sign him at all costs. Yes, but he should have taken a steep discount. No, they could have used the money elsewhere. I'm not sure.
