In 1989 on the first tee at the newly reopened Como Park golf course, after watching my grandfather's drive slice across two fairways and bank off a tree, I learned that golf is as much educational as it is recreational. "Grandpa, you missed," I said, playfully jabbing at my hero. "Yeah, but that's alright," he replied with a smile. "Hitting a tree is good luck for your next shot." "Oh!" I gleefully said, while altering my aim for a majestic birch 100 yards away. "Wait," my grandfather said while he corrected my stance. "It doesn't work if you try to hit it. It's like a lucky penny. You can't put it down and then pick it up." This made perfect sense to my eight-year-old brain.
My Dad's Love for His Parks
My dad, William LaMont Kaufman, was superintendent of Saint Paul Parks for thirty-four years. He dearly loved his job, and because he did, approximately one-third of our childhood was spent in his beloved parks. Como, our favorite, offered so much to children as well as to adults. Our dad taught us the name of each plant in the conservatory and the outside gardens, not only in English but also in Latin. Many Sunday nights were Como Nights, when we sometimes brought a picnic and raced to find Dad's name on plaques in the zoo and conservatory. But his love for Como extended to other parks: Harriet Island, Phalen, Highland, and his smaller treasures—Hidden Falls, Rice, Irvine, Kellogg, Lilydale, Indian Mounds, Mears, and Newell, among others.
The Great Escape
Saint Paul's iconic Como Zoo has long been a charming, peaceful place to enjoy creatures great and small. But one morning in 1994, the zoo was anything but peaceful. I was working by the giraffes when a vendor came running toward me. Her words were a zookeeper's worst nightmare: "You better come quick. One of the gorillas is out!"

What a Beautiful Face: A Neutral Milk Hotel Fanzine
Various contributors, ed. Katie Johnson
20 pg. at half-letter size
$3 from Pioneers Press
I feel fortunate that Neutral Milk Hotel's two records were around, and that I was privy to them, when I was a teenager. I don't know if I would have been able to love them so thoroughly if I hadn't found out about them til I was grown. Their music is earnest and raw like the feelings you have before you know anything of moderation and nuance.
Because the band's songs are both confessional and impressionistic, they've been able to make a whole lot of people feel like they're speaking directly to them and to their own sorrows and joys and crushes on long-dead teenagers. I've listened to and sung along with their songs driving alone out on rural roads, in dorm rooms, on Greyhound buses, around drunk campfires with friends.
Published by Punch Drunk Press, What a Beautiful Face collects writing about Neutral Milk Hotel. It's a pretty quick read, but full of a good variety of stuff. Mostly, people write about their experiences of discovering, and being moved by, their music. Adam Gnade also contributes fiction inspired by the band, and several people write about the experience of seeing Jeff Mangum play on his recent tour.
As someone with longstanding warm feelings for Neutral Milk Hotel, I really enjoyed What a Beautiful Face, and would recommend it to anyone else for whose coming-of-age was made weirder and funner and noisier by their music.

Close to Nowhere
I really do hate pink!
I have to admit that the normal chaos and trauma of "back to school" has been a little different around our two houses this year.
Not only do we have a "patient" camped out in the living room, we have all these bandaging supplies, etc. stacked everywhere. Pop is well on the road to recovery, but we still have all this "stuff."
Painting and etc. have also resumed, now that Pop is only technically a "patient."
I spent the entire past weekend painting and putting up border in the living room and the various halls that connect to it. I only have pieces of the front wall and pieces of one of the halls left to paint. And the ceiling is already cut in on those!
I would have finished, except Pop made me go to bed around 11:30 or so Sunday night. Something about even though I had skipped church to paint, I really did need to go to work on Monday.
All this could be considered outside the lines of our normal chaos and havoc. But, this year's traumatic beginning of the school year was even more dramatic with the addition of removing pink hair dye from blonde hair!
Meredith has been fooling around with odd hair color for some time now. She's 13, so that explains almost everything, right?
Food dye worked well and washed out well during the last school year, but...
A week or so after school was out, we were looking at "real" hair dye at a drugstore in Memphis near where Pop was in the hospital. Mere found this stunning fuschia pink "Splatt" color that said it was "semi-permanent and washes out in six to eight weeks."
And it was stunning! She had neon pink hair most of the summer. Funny thing though, it didn't seem to be fading much.
As school got closer and closer, we began to worry more and more about the pink hair. Schools don't like kids with odd colored hair, as it's distracting. (I really agree with this! Her pink head was very attention-getting!)
First, we Googled how to remove semi-permanent hair color. Simple Green (a wonderful product, good for many, many things), mixed with baking soda, didn't do a durn thing to the pink. Neither did vinegar. After three or four experiments with the hair on Mere's head, I cut off a really pink bit and began experimenting with that.
Even with the blondest bleaching kit we could find, we had pink hair. The only difference was it was Norwegian white blonde with pink streaks.
Several "golden brown" dye kits later, the pink is finally gone.
I hope so, anyway...

International Space Station and Shuttle Support Cost Limits
GAO-01-1000R: Published: Aug 31, 2001. Publicly Released: Aug 31, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 set cost limits on the international space station and space shuttle programs. Under the act, NASA may not obligate more than $25 billion for space station development or more than $17.7 billion for shuttle launches in connection with space station assembly. The act also stipulates that for the purpose of calculating launch costs not more than $380 million per launch shall be used. Finally, the act requires that NASA, as part of its annual budget request, update Congress on its progress by (1) accounting for and reporting amounts obligated against the limitations to date, (2) identifying the amount of budget authority requested for the future development and completion of the space station, and (3) arranging for GAO to verify the accounting submitted to Congress within 60 days after the submission of the budget request. NASA did not comply with the act's requirement to use obligations as its basis for reporting against the space station limit but instead used budget authority. In addition, NASA was unable to provide detailed transaction-based support for amounts obligated against the space station and shuttle limits for GAO to evaluate and meet the 60-day reporting requirement. Because NASA lacked support for the actual cost of completed space station elements and subsystems, GAO could not determine whether NASA's costs were reasonable. Also, the act does not require NASA to charge all relevant obligations against the space station and shuttle limits. As a result, NASA's accounting for the limits in its fiscal year 2002 budget request did not include $2.5 billion of related obligations through fiscal year 2000.

NFL free agency begins next Tuesday and the Chicago Bears are beginning to prioritize their targets. While much of the early focus for the Bears has been on the defensive line, the team can't avoid the glaring discrepancies at the safety position. With Major Wright set to test free agency and Chris Conte struggling considerably last season, the Bears likely will need to address the position in free agency or through the draft in May.
To add to that point, what the Bears do in the draft will be heavily dependent on what the team does in free agency.
The consensus is that Bears general manager Phil Emery will attack free agency like he did last season. Emery highlighted the Bears needs and addressed them immediately last off-season with the signings of left tackle Jermon Bushrod and tight end Martellus Bennett.
If the Bears get their wish, then Cleveland Browns safety T.J. Ward may be their early coup. According to a report from Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times, the Bears plan on targeting Ward and Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd in free agency. The report goes on to state that Ward may be the likelier of the two, and in any event, the price would have to be right for the team.
That has been the area of concern for Bears fans when they think about the team signing Byrd or Ward. Do the Bears have enough money to do so? The short answer to that question is yes. Between the contract gurus in the Bears front office and looming release of Julius Peppers, the Bears should have enough money available to them in order to sign Byrd or Ward. Though, safe to say that any contract for the two would have to be back-loaded.
Byrd and Ward both made the pro bowl this past season.
Byrd finished the season with 48 combined tackles to go along with 1 forced fumble and 4 interceptions while playing 11 games for the Bills.
Ward, on the other hand, finished the season with 112 tackles and 2 interceptions while playing in all 16 of the Browns games.
With targets like Byrd and Ward, the NFL free agency period will provide the Bears with their first opportunity to improve their defense.

The studio chief says Affleck is 'perfect' to play the Dark Knight, hints at ambitious hopes for new J.K. Rowling collaboration
You thought Ben Affleck as Batman was the last of the big announcements coming out of Warner Bros. and DC Comics? Think again.
Speaking Thursday at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference in Beverly Hills, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara hinted that the studio is finally poised to start vigorously exploiting its DC Comics unit, which he said already has "two huge games" and three animated series on the way.
Also read: Ben Affleck Set to Play Batman in 'Man of Steel' Sequel
The WB chief seemed pleased with the most recent revelation – that Affleck would soon be donning the caped crusader's cowl – and hinted that the Oscar-winner would present an older, more jaded Dark Knight than Christian Bale's.
"He'll be kind of tired and weary and seasoned — and he'll have been doing it for a while," Tsujihara said. "Ben is perfect for Zack's vision for that character … We think it's gonna be huge."

He also broached the partnership with J.K. Rowling announced just hours before, not committing to more than one film — but conceding that the studio hopes to build a film franchise that will work across several divisions, including video games and its new Potter theme parks.
As a screenwriter, Rowling's film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" — required reading at Hogwarts in the "Potter" books — will go back in time to spotlight the textbook's author Newt Scamander, a character also portrayed in Rowling's literary wizarding universe.

He also touted the sale of two WB television shows to HBO: "Westworld" and "The Leftovers."
"I'm really excited and happy we sold our first pilots to HBO," he said. "That was about the culture changing, and the dynamics between our two divisions changing. I'm really excited about that opportunity because selling to premium cable is important."

When buying a house, it is important to have a house survey carried out. There are three main types of house survey to choose from:.
Basic House Survey for Mortgage Valuation (compulsory if you are having a mortgage).
Homebuyers Survey
Building Survey (often referred to as a 'structural survey')
fire risk Survey.
fire safety assessments.
asbestos management Survey.
asbestos removal Survey.
Homebuyers Asbestos Survey.
The homebuyers Survey from a company such as RJS Asbestos is done to a format laid down by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ('RICS'). With this type of house survey you will receive a homebuyers survey report which is set out in sections covering all the major parts of the property that are clearly visible to the surveyor.
When considering which home survey to have it is important to be aware that the Homebuyers survey will provide a more detailed account of the condition of the property than the Basic Mortgage Valuation. The Homebuyers Survey report is aimed at providing a picture of the overall condition of the property and to identify areas of the property that require further testing.
The limitation to this type of house survey is that it only covers those parts of the property that are readily visible to the surveyor, the surveyor will not look beyond this, for example, if the loft is full of boxes, the surveyor will not move the boxes and look at the timbers beneath.
The Homebuyers survey is the most commonly commissioned house survey and is sufficient for most conventional properties that have been built within the last 100 years or so. If you are a London based company, then check them out http://rjs-asbestos.co.uk/surveys-london
The Homebuyers Survey will:.
� Look at the general condition of the property.
� Assess any minor or major faults and point out areas where a more detailed investigation is required.
� Check for rising or penetrating damp or wood rot and insect infestation, such as woodworm.
� Check the condition of any damp proof course or insulation.
� Check the condition of any drainage from the property. Although the Homebuyers survey will not include a check of the drains, it will state whether or not it is advisable to have the drains investigated further.
� Provide a 'ball park figure' estimate for any repairs that are needed and state which repairs are urgent and which repairs can be done at a later date.
� Provide the surveyor's estimation of the value of the property based on their expertise and knowledge of the local property market.
Asbestos Building Survey.
Often referred to as a 'Structural Survey' the building survey is the most expensive of the house survey types. An asbestos building survey in london is the most detailed of the different types of house survey and can take several hours to undertake. The Building Survey does not generally provide a valuation unless you specifically request it.
The Building Survey will include:.
� All major and minor faults within the property.
� The cost of any repairs required.
� Damp testing and the full results of these tests.
� Testing of all the timber for wood rot or insect infestation and the results of these tests.
� Technical information on the construction of property including details of all the materials used.
� Information about the location of the property.
� Details of any further inspections that may be required on the property and any subsequent work that may need to be done.

Yeah, too much.
Again, too much money. >_<
Somehow I blew up a bearing in the rear differential, probably the grease evaporated/dried up/something and all the friction and heat ripped it apart. Pieces of it are all over inside >_< Luckily it's cheaper to fix than I thought it would be, but that's only if there isn't anything else wrong (And I don't break something else while I have it apart)

Last month I travelled to Panama to make a short film for National Geographic about a sloth rescue organisation called APPC. The film is now ready and I'm really pleased with the result. As well as all the usual gorgeous baby sloths it shows a less cuddly side to adult sloths, which serves as a reminder why they should never be kept as pets.
Wherever you are in the world right now, it is 100 percent time for a sloth break. Adults! Babies! Dramatic rescues from foreign environs! Emotional releases back into the wild! It has absolutely everything you want in a sloth documentary, I've watched it three times and I can't get enough.

Paul Nicklen's picture of emperor penguins in the Ross Sea, "Bubble-Jetting Penguins," has won the 2012 Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. This is amazing, right? Apparently he captured it by "[lowering himself] into the only likely exit hole … wait[ing[ for the return of the penguins … [and lock[ing] his legs under the lip of the ice so he could remain motionless, breathing through a snorkel so as not to spook the penguins when they arrived." Crazy, right?
You can see more of Nicklen's penguin photos at National Geographic (they are UNBELIEVABLE), and check out all the winning photographs. The one with the shark fins is horrifying, but the sneaky tiger is adorable.

The U.S. is melting! We're burning up! To ease your summertime hots, fall into this photograph of a coyote in Yellowstone National Park, taken by Timothy Brooks as part of the National Geographic Expeditions Student Photo Contest.
Per Timothy:
With a strong vision and sense of smell, and the ability to reach up to 40 miles per hour, coyotes are symbolic of adventure. I was fortunate enough to find this wild coyote while visiting Yellowstone National Park. It leaped and ran under tree branches and between boulders. I made sure not to disturb the coyote, and when it lay down on top of a hill I was able to include the coyote's environment in the background. This image displays the coyote's vast habitat, and a sense of mysteriousness and exploration, through its single eye staring back at the camera.
I love the NatGeo photo of the day.

"A pelican and an iguana rest on rocks in the Galápagos Islands," by Paul Coleman for National Geographic.
This looks like a scene from a buddy comedy, right? Like, the iguana is hungry for adventure, and the pelican is all jaded from seeing too many jerk humans steal his food and pollute his oceans, but he promised the iguana they'd explore the sea together (you know marine iguanas can swim, right?), so now they're staring past the horizon, considering which direction to take to start their big summer trip. Into the great unknown, Galápagoans!

Owl monkey dads are the best! After tracking this owl monkey fam, a scientist documented that the monogamous owl monkey couple shares parenting duties—with the dad taking on most of the jobs other than nursing! The video says that monogamy is rare among primates. National Geographic says the scientist believes that "monogamy goes hand in hand with the upbringing." If pops is going to be taking care of the babies, he can't be busy stepping out with other owl monkeys!

So sad! So sweet! Read the whole article (from the September 2011 issue of National Geographic) and find yourself tearfully resolving to give money to an elephant-related charity in 2012.

A Portrait of Iorek Byrnison as a Young Man.
OK not really. It's "Young polar bears sparring in Svalbard." Only slightly less thrilling, I know. This magnificent image is a National Geographic photo of the day, by Paul Nicklen. Click through to see it much bigger. Polar bears, am I right?

This video is of "the elusive Marbled Cat," by Marten Slothouwer. It's neat! it's a little cat with a very big tail that lives in Sumatra. The video features cameos by a Golden Cat, and a tiger.
This recording was made as part of the Eyes on Leuser project, which aims to "create a visual database of Leuser's exceptional biodiversity." The Leuser ecosystem is in northern Sumatra, and is the only place in the world where the Sumatran elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, and orangutan all live together. Eyes on Leuser uses HD video trail cameras to capture the endangered, nocturnal, people-averse, timid animals living in the area.
The project has only existed since June of this year, but it's pretty neat, I think. Much better to see these animals recorded unobtrusively on cameras in their natural habitat than in zoos, right? RIGHT. UGH. Check out their photos and videos and see what's happening in a place you'll probably never physically visit.

Roman Mythology
Roman Gods
I.Minerva from "Roman Antiquities, and Ancient Mythology" by Charles K. Dillaway
II.Minerva from "Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome" by E.M. Berens
Minerva, or Pallas, was one of the most distinguished of the heathen deities, as being the goddess of wisdom and science. She is supposed to have sprung, fully grown and completely armed, from the head of Jupiter.
One of the most remarkable of her adventures, was her contest with Neptune. When Cecrops founded Athens, it was agreed that whoever of these two deities could produce the most beneficial gift to mankind, should have the honor of giving their name to the city. Neptune, with a stroke of his trident, formed a horse, but Minerva causing an olive-tree to spring from the ground, obtained from the god the prize. She was the goddess of war, wisdom, and arts, such as spinning, weaving, music, and especially of the pipe. In a word, she was patroness of all those sciences which render men useful to society and themselves, and entitle them to the esteem of posterity.
She is described by the poets, and represented by the sculptors and painters in a standing attitude, completely armed, with a composed but smiling countenance, bearing a golden breast-plate, a spear in her right hand, and the ægis in her left, having on it the head of Medusa, entwined with snakes. Her helmet was usually encompassed with olives, to denote that peace is the end of war, or rather because that tree was sacred to her: at her feet is generally placed the owl or the cock, the former being the emblem of wisdom, and the latter of war.
Minerva represents wisdom, that is, skilful knowledge joined with discreet practice, and comprehends the understanding of the noblest arts, the best accomplishments of the mind, together with all the virtues, but more especially that of chastity. She is said to be born of Jupiter's brain, because the ingenuity of man did not invent the useful arts and sciences, which, on the contrary, were derived from the fountain of all wisdom. She was born armed, because the human soul, fortified with wisdom and virtue, is invincible; in danger, intrepid; under crosses, unbroken; in calamities, impregnable.
The owl, a bird seeing in the dark, was sacred to Minerva; this is symbolical of a wise man, who, scattering and dispelling the clouds of error, is clear-sighted where others are blind.
The Minerva of the Romans was identified with the Pallas-Athena of the Greeks. Like her she presides over learning and all useful arts, and is the patroness of the feminine accomplishments of sewing, spinning, weaving, &c. Schools were under her especial care, and schoolboys, therefore, had holidays during her festivals (the Greater Quinquatria), when they always brought a gift to their master, called the Minerval.
It is worthy of notice that the only three divinities worshipped in the Capitol were Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, and in their joint honour the Ludi Maximi or great games were held.

Great hotel... so conveniently located and very nice rooms. Our check-in time was very delayed though (as was everyone else's!), so I spent a lot of time in line at the check-in desk! Other than that it was wonderful. I'd definitely stay there again..."
We have stayed here before, great hotel and location. Would stay again. Only complaint is the Concierge was not helpful or friendly"
I travelled alone from Australia & it was my first time to New York. The hotel is old & the furnishings could do with an update but it was clean & in the perfect location - walking distance to EVERYTHING! I understand that it is very busy at times but I felt that the staff at the front desk could've been a little friendlier - a simple smile can go a long way! :)"
My husband and I went on a little getaway, arriving in Vegas on Friday. The Strip accommodation prices are very high on the weekends, and so to find a very reasonably priced casino on/near the Strip was super nice. We like to try out all the different sections of town, and have stayed downtown, more Central Strip and now here. This was a very pleasant surprise. We really enjoyed our stay here, everything that we needed was right here. We walked across to eat and see a comedy show one night. Overall, I really enjoyed our time at Circus Circus and will definitely stay here again."
Brilliant hotel great location and amazing value for where it is. Only negative thing would be no wifi in room or coffee/tea making facilities. Otherwise hotel is brilliant and the tournament of the kings show was fantastic."
There will be no better value in Las Vegas than this hotel. The room rates are the lowest in town and I have one of the nicest hotels in Las Vegas"
really nice hotel, great location, alot of diffrent restaurants nearby. Metro just around the corner"
I stayed here for a total of 11 days, and was very pleased. The sleep-number bed was great. The room Had modern and updated fixtures. The balcony was nice for getting some fresh air. And the shower had great water pressure. I will stay here again next time I am in Chicago."
You have to pay for parking at this hotel. The hotel is older and could use improvement on the outside and lobby. The rooms and bed was excellent and very clean."
I faced towards Powell it was noisey in the morning need more soundproofing on winodws"
Great location, wonderful staff and a bed/breakfast feel. Not the fanciest hotel around, but for location and service, it was wonderful. Would absolutely stay again. Short walk to Union Square and Chinatown."
I traveled to SF for a half-marathon. I have been in the city several times so I was not shocked by the prices or the "add-ons" like parking fees, etc. I was disappointed int he lack of an airport shuttle (expect to pay $20 pp for that, and a good hour to 90 minutes drive once all the drop offs are made). However, I was pleasantly surprised by the nice decor of the entrance and lobby area. the staff was friendly and accommodating upon our arrival and had us situated quickly. The hallways are a bit dreary and out of date, but the rooms themselves were clean (minus a cup sized stain on the couch). Everything else was clean, modern, and really just fine. When our room was serviced by housekeeping they would turn off the air conditioning completely so when we arrived back later in the day it was hot. This was not appreciated. I was also woken up one night by our neighbors upstairs. I could hear every squeek of the bed for a good 30-40 minutes, but thankfully no dialogue. We could also hear nice in the hallway and from the streets, but it is a city hotel, so I was not bothered too much by it. I enjoyed the area and would stay here again. Plenty of great places to eat close by, or within a short walk or uber ride. It was a nice 30 minute walk to Pier 39."

Very professional and great to work with! Made it very easy to understand what was going on. Would highly recommend him!
To our INS interview Roland Tong was our representative and we were impressed by his calmness and serenity yet handling our case in a very professional way in front of the officer. He has a positive attitude towards his clients; he was patient and encouraged us although we had to wait several hours in order to get in for our appointment; he has a good tonal and focus on his job. His experience and work expressed his professionalism and benevolence. Therefore we would recommend him as a lawful representative in front of the public authorities.
Roland worked hard getting our bankruptcy filed quickly, as our creditors were very aggressive. It was a very stressful time for my family, but Roland's way of explaining the bankruptcy process and our options helped minimize the stress. Our debts were discharged in a short time, and now we can live financially healthy. I highly recommend that you call Roland when your finances get out of control.
I would highly recommend Roland Tong to represent you with your legal needs. He is very honest, Trustworthy and Reliable. He is very responsive to all your questions and needs. He is very prompt when it comes to responding your phone calls.
A great attorney. Answers all my questions, Does not leave you hanging. You get what you want. Highly recommended.
Filed our case quickly. The collection calls stopped and our debts got discharged with no problems. I would highly recommend this lawyer to my family and friends.
Exceptional & knowledgeable.Very helpful and efficient.. Atty. Roland Tong delivers results and makes the process a great experience. He explains issues clearly helping one understand the plight of the case.
Atty. Roland Tong gave me a reason to hope and he delivered. When I thought my case had reached a dead end, he opened doors and made me understand my options. He handled my case with no deceptions. He was very accomodating and worked with my schedule. I will definitely utilize Atty. Roland Tong's services in the future.

No PSP-to-PS Vita transfer service for North America
On a great PR move from Sony they are pulling the plug on any idea of a PSP-to-PS Vita transfer service in North America. With the UMD Passport program you would be allowed to re-download your old PSP UMD games to your PS Vita at a discounted price.
This was one of the main selling points for me since I didn't want to have to buy all of my PSP games all over again at high prices. Now there are two solutions, keep my PSP and play the games I already own, or re-download all of the games at Sony's prices. Like traditional Sony mentality, Japan will get this awesome transfer service and other regions will not.
What the hell Sony? You really know how to kill hype for your devices.

Contemporary Cuisine - Raw Bar by Duncan Ly Edition
Our final FDC 104 Contemporary Cuisine class of the year took place at the newly reopened Raw Bar by Duncan Ly. I was impressed by the updated Vietmodern menu and the inspired interpretations of Vietnamese cuisine. The bright new look of the space was also a plus.
Our menu of the night consisted of the following:
- Bbq pork & shrimp salad roll with hoisin peanut sauce
- Seafood tamarind soup with king oyster mushroom, pineapple, okra, green onions
- Chargrilled Angus NY steak with roasted Asian vegetables, lemongrass & coconut potatoes, soya beef jerky & herb salad
- Mango panna cotta with seasonal fruit salad, Vietnamese love letter cookie
My favourite dish was the flavourful seafood tamarind soup with a hint of pineapple sweetness. I'd also recommend giving the Vietmodern coffee a try - the condensed milk foam was delicious.
More information on the course can be found here.
"Visit the most cutting-edge restaurants in Calgary on this five-week exploration of contemporary cuisine. We'll taste the new trends, sample the latest ingredients, and see what the most creative chefs are cooking. Each meal is an additional $30, including GST and gratuity, and is paid directly to the restaurant."

ACTION ALERT: Leaflet and protest the DISGUSTING rodeo! »
Humanity Through Education in protesting the "Grand National Rodeo" at the Cow Palace in Daly City (2600 Geneva Avenue) from Wednesday, Oct. 20 through Saturday, Oct. 23. You should be there to help. Each protest begins at 6 p.m., it only takes an hour or two and you're there to educate people who might not know how disgusting the rodeo is. The rodeo isn't the charming slice of Americana that people want to think it is: it's totally fucked up and super cruel. Ugh, if you're feeling tired or PMS-y and you watch that video, guaranteed tears and outrage. I'm both and so I just threw my television through a window and then cried in a corner for 10 minutes. Rinse and repeat!
So, anyway, HAPPY MONDAY!
These leaflettings and protests REALLY matter and they REALLY need people so I hope you'll take time to hit one (or more!) up. Flyers, signs and banners will be provided! If you need more info, call Shani at 925/819-6752. SEE YOUR SEXY CARING ASSES THERE!
Aaaaand a little more depressing-ass rodeo info from Humanity Through Education:
The entertainment value of Rodeo is the brutality of the animals, and "the success of rodeos rests on the exploitation of animals' reactions to pain, noise and fear and the animal's desire to escape." Canadian Veterinary Association's Statement on Rodeos, `85. Inflicting pain on other animals is inherent in, and an essential part of, the Rodeo show.
Rodeo events include:
* Calf-roping, wherein a calf is running full bore, from fear, and a rope is thrown around his neck, stopping him dead in his tracks and yanking him back with the same force he is running. "The results [are] severed tracheas, broken necks, ruptured ligaments that hold the head to the body, internal injury and broken bones." Dr. Peggy Larson, a former bareback bronc rider, (Monterey Herald, July `02)
* Bronc Busting, wherein a horse has a bucking strap cinched tightly around his flank, causing him intense pain, making him buck wildly in an attempt to lessen the pain, not to "throw the rider." A Humane Society study showed that even tame horses bucked when a bucking strap was put on them. Gross.

Ubuntu revisited »
I loved Ubuntu. Despite its ridiculous name and the fact that it's also a YOGA STUDIO, it was one of my favorite restaurants. If I'm not making fun of a restaurant for also being a YOGA STUDIO then I'm either A) dead or B) eating at Ubuntu. I loved, loved, loved it. I was so psyched about this Yogaraunt that I'd take diehard omnis to show them how great "vegetable cuisine" is. And uh, I did just that on Saturday night. What a fucking disappointment. You better hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband cause Ubuntu is raping everybody out here!
First off, the entire menu has changed. Gone are the chickpea fries, the pizzas, the amazing signature salads. They've been replaced with a dry salad (seriously, no dressing), $17 plates of four small potatoes covered in cucumber ash (see pic above: those aren't giant turds, they're a signature dish at New Ubuntu), and a soup that was basically vinegar poured over three melon balls (just like when Yoko Ono orders a single plum floating in perfume served in a man's hat on The Simpsons! But less funny because THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING). It's like the whole restaurant has gone anorexic on us. I am not even playing, it was straight fucked. I was so embarrassed. The omnis were like WTF IS THIS VEGAN GARBAGE and I was like WTF IS THIS VEGAN GARBAGE and the whole scene was just humiliating. I get it, Jeremy Fox has left for meatier pastures and the new chef wants to make the menu his own and I'm ALL for that, but why take away heartier fare and replace it with less food for more money? I'm sorry, when I'm paying $50 a person (without wine!) to eat at your restaurant, I don't want the most filling item to be the free bread. We ate so much bread that they had to dedicate an oven to baking exclusively for my table. AND WE WERE STILL HUNGRY. Honestly, I wanted to head down the street to Billco's Billiards & Darts for some french fries and a veggie dog.
I am all for new chefs and new visions, and I'd be fine with an entirely new menu that doesn't have my favorite strawberry pizza or my beloved cucumber watermelon basil soup but dammit, make the replacements stellar and hearty, or lower your prices. You can't have it both ways because you're gonna lose customers. After (constructively?) talking trash on Ubuntu to several groups of friends, I found out that they too had had shitty dining experiences there recently and felt equally bummed and pissed. I dunno, I am loathe to run my mouth on a vegetarian restaurant, but I had to say something because it's festering inside of me, eating my food-loving soul, and no amount of namastes can help. Run an' tell that, homeboy.

The Publishers Association has set out an agreed position on e-book lending in libraries that will see library users blocked from downloading e-books outside of the library premises. Faber c.e.o. Stephen Page announced the new guidelines this morning (21 October) at the CILIP Public Library Authorities conference in Leeds.
Page told conference delegates that "all the major trade publishers have agreed to work with aggregators to make it possible for libraries to offer e-book lending" with the addition of certain "controls". He said the guidelines had been developed because of concerns over free e-book lending offered by some libraries to lenders "wherever you are" in breach of publisher contracts.
(Thanks, Jenny, Andy, etc...)
CALI's Executive Director, John Mayer, gave a presentation at the Chicago Law.Gov Workshop on May 21, 2010 about the future of legal education, eLangdell, and open access education. It's about 30 minutes long, but worth a listen if you're interested in the project.
First reported a few days ago, the pundits are now adding their 2 cents.
This from Dan Gillmor at Salon: When America's book publishers wrested control of e-book prices from Amazon earlier this year, I expected two results. First, prices would go up. Second, I'd buy fewer new Kindle books. I got that part right.
What I didn't expect, however, was that publishers would be so incredibly foolish as to start raising e-book prices to the point that they were close to, and in a few cases above, the hardcover prices. Here's a non-literary term for this policy: nuts.
I've been keeping loose track of this trend for months, and had noticed that some hardcover books were getting close to the Kindle prices. Then the barrier fell, as the New York Times reported this week, when at least two books actually were more costly to read on Kindle devices than the actual physical book.
How did this happen? It's a classic Traditional Media vs. the Digital Age story. The key players are Amazon, the major book publishers and Apple.
Is The Word 'Publish' Becoming Obsolete?
"You could say that everyone is a publisher these days, with blogging, Twitter and Facebook (amongst hundreds of other social media tools). What's more, there are many new devices on which to deliver content - tablets, smart phones, video web sites and more. Ultimately it's a much larger and diverse media ecosystem than it was even a couple of years ago, so the increasing irrelevance of the word 'publish' probably doesn't matter much."
Further to our earlier story about an associate professor at Missouri State U. who referred to the young adult novel "Speak" as "soft pornography," the Penguin Young Readers Group has taken out a full page ad in today's New York Times to defend the novel by Laurie Halse Anderson.
In an op-ed piece earlier this month in the Missouri News-Leader, Wesley Scoggins wrote that Speak was not appropriate for students of the Republic School District and also challenged Slaughterhouse-Five and Twenty Boy Summer.
From Publishers Weekly: "That such a decorated book could be challenged is disturbing," said Penguin's Shanta Newlin about the decision to run an ad. With Banned Books Week now in full swing (Sept. 25-Oct. 2), Penguin believes the ad points to the larger issue of books still being challenged in large numbers across the country, Newlin added. The ad, in fact, notes that "every day in this country, people are being told what they can and can't read," and it asks Times readers to "read the book. Decide for yourself." -- Read More
A Modest Proposal For Publishers and Authors
So, what's the future of publishing?
For both authors and publishers, it's largely about who controls access to the tribe.
Because, they are no longer anonymous, random purchasers. They have faces, names, desires, interests and the ability to not only read what you create, but help craft, support, interact with and evangelize it…
From Publishers Weekly: A no-brainer: Americans love their pets. Moreover, they put their money where their hearts are.According to a March 2009 article on PetConnection.com, U.S. consumers spent more than $43 billion on food, supplies, medicine, and health care for their pets in 2008, making that business the eighth largest in the country, ahead of the candy and toy industries. Consumers now spend more than $18 billion annually on pet food alone.
Yet publishing in the pets category is not quite the no-brainer it was a few years ago. Even this reliable market is somewhat saturated. St. Martin's editor Daniela Rapp says, "The sheer number of dog books submitted and published has led to a certain level of fatigue about these projects. This attitude seems to be limited to publishers, the sales force, and buyers for individual accounts and so far hasn't expanded to the consumer. By now I am familiar with the groan 'Not another dog book!' in the sales reports, but in the end these books still find their audience."
Make no mistake; this category comprises largely dog books, even though cats are more common pets in the U.S. (about 82 million cats to 71 million dogs by the American Veterinary Medical Association's 2007 count). "Of the animal books we publish, dogs do seem to be the most popular," says Leslie Stoker, publisher of Stewart, Tabori & Chang/Abrams Image, which will offer photographer Daniel Borris's Yoga Dogs in March 2011.
Change of pace from the more frequent 'death of print' stories here on LISNews.
This one's about the birth of print; a discussion of the newly published book by Andrew Pettegree, "The Book in the Renaissance" with Tom Scocca of Slate and the Boston Globe.
In the beginning, before there was such a thing as a Gutenberg Bible, Johannes Gutenberg laid out his rows of metal type and brushed them with ink and, using the mechanism that would change the world, produced an ordinary little schoolbook. It was probably an edition of a fourth-century grammar text by Aelius Donatus, some 28 pages long. Only a few fragments of the printed sheets survive, because no one thought the book was worth keeping.
"Now had he kept to that, doing grammars...it probably would all have been well," said Andrew Pettegree, a professor of modern history at the University of St. Andrews and author of "The Book in the Renaissance," the story of the birth of print. Instead, Gutenberg was bent on making a grand statement, an edition of Scripture that would cost half as much as a house and would live through the ages. In the end, struggling for capital to support the Bible project, Gutenberg was forced out of his own print shop by his business partner, Johann Fust.
The article continues in a question and answer format here.
The Internet is calling into question one of academia's sacred rites: the peer- reviewed journal article.

Chad Ford of ESPN details the Bobcats-Bucks-Kings trade:
The Bucks will get Sacramento's Beno Udrih, Charlotte's Stephen Jackson and Shaun Livingston and the 19th pick from the Bobcats in Thursday night's draft, while Charlotte obtains the No. 7 pick from Sacramento and forward Corey Maggette from Milwaukee.
The Kings will get guard John Salmons from Milwaukee and the 10th pick in the draft. Charlotte will keep the No. 9 pick.
The trade is kind of a downer if the Pistons wanted Bismack Biyombo. Jonathan Givony of Draft Express:
Not believing any of this Tristan Thompson at 7 stuff. Charlotte did this trade to jump ahead of Detroit and take Biyombo. If he's there.

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1½ cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt
1½ cups pecan, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
14 oz. caramel candies, unwrapped
1/3 cup heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and grease the foil well with butter or cooking spray. Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and smooth. (Alternatively, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.) Remove the bowl from the heat. Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until incorporated. Stir in the flour and salt just until combined. Spread about half of the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, maintaining the oven temperature, and let cool for 20 minutes.

Tragedy struck last Saturday night in Massapequa Park as a Nassau County police officer was killed in what police term as friendly fire as officers responded to a robbery incident that took place in the Front Street area.
Reaching "across the aisle" to preserve the integrity of upcoming village elections, New York State Senator Jack Martins, a Republican, and New York State Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, a Democrat, fought hard, together, to bring forward an amendment to state law that allows villages to use the old lever voting machines in this year's village elections. The March 15 local elections, and the upcoming June elections, would have proved an extremely costly affair for villages as the new Nassau County machines are not available and without the law, villages would have been forced to either rent scan machines at an exorbitant cost or hold their elections by using paper ballots which cost $.55 each.
It has been one year since Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice created Long Island's first-ever Animal Cruelty Unit, and during that time, prosecutions of these crimes have more than quadrupled, Rice announced at a press conference on March 2 at the Animal Lovers League in Glen Cove. In addition, she stated that the Animal Cruelty hotline – 516-571-ACHL (2245) – has received over 700 complaints of suspected abuse. Staffed by specially trained prosecutors and investigators, Rice explained that the Animal Cruelty Unit operates with one goal: to protect vulnerable pets and animals.
On Thursday, Feb. 24 the South Farmingdale Fire Department began its meeting with a special introduction, to honor two of its junior volunteer members with honorable service awards for performing CPR on patients that were in critical situations.
Members of the Long Island Shields police organization opened their recent meeting, held in Farmingdale, by speaking in honor of the fallen Nassau County Police Officer Michael Califano of Wantagh. Califano was tragically killed when a truck struck his patrol car while he served a summons on the Long Island Expressway on Friday, Feb. 4.
Representatives from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) held a public meeting at Farmingdale Village Hall on Thursday evening to field questions and concerns from residents regarding their No Further Action remedy proposal stemming for the Target Rock Corp. Superfund site.
On Saturday, Feb 5, the Farmingdale boys bowling team's season came to a disappointing end in Garden City, finishing in second place in the Nassau County team championship.
At the last regular public meeting of the Village of Farmingdale Board of Trustees on Monday, Feb. 7, the public hearing for the Bartone, LLC hotel application for the Hilton brand hotel took center stage.
On Wednesday, Jan. 19 the Farmingdale School Board announced the acceptance of Ellen Krammer's resignation for the purpose of retirement.

"Bobby Crosby is an established Major League player who will provide us with depth off the bench," said Pirates GM Neal Huntington. "He also has the ability to play regularly should the need arise."
The right-handed hitting Crosby took home American League Rookie-of-the-Year honors in 2004 after leading A.L. rookies in home runs (22), RBI (64), runs (70), hits (130), doubles (34), walks (58), total bases (232) and extra base hits (57). He was also tabbed by The Sporting News as the American League Rookie-of-the-Year in 2004 while receiving the Player's Choice Award for the A.L.'s Most Outstanding Rookie.
In 677 career games in the Major Leagues from 2003-2009, Crosby has tallied 136 doubles, 61 home runs and 263 RBI. He played exclusively at shortstop during his six years in the big leagues before playing five different positions (including shortstop) in 2009.

Two foods that kill fat. Discover these surprising foods that boost your metabolism and block fat.
Get Green Coffee Bean and Green Tea Hawaii together today as the Bio Pure Green Diet. Order a 30 day supply below for the combined discount.
Scientifically proven results!
Green coffee bean extract has been scientifically proven to help people lose fat…
…without changing their eating habits
…without changing their excercise routine
…without side effects
Imagine what you could do with this powerful supplement!
Green Coffee Bean works through two mechanisms:
1. Inhibits the release of glucose into the body so you can maintian a stable blood sugar level. This stops your body from producing insulin and dumping excess blood sugar into fat cells.
2. Boosts the metabolism or the "burning" of fat in the liver. This leads to improved energy levels.
Green coffee bean is chlorogenic acid and works differently than a stimulant. It's effect is not because of caffeine. It contains a minimum amount of caffeine so you can take this while drinking greenteaHAWAII and still be getting the perfect dose to aid weight loss.
What better proof than actually trying it out.
These results are after 5 days….6 pounds in 5 days!
Try it yourself. Start losing weight now!
Congratulations on your future success!
Green Coffee has been all over the news. A recent clinical study, published in the diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity journal, followed 16 people who were supplemented with green coffee bean and strictly monitored for only 12 weeks. On average, the participants lost 17 lbs each. That's 16% of their overall body fat and 10.5% body weight. According to a recent double-blind crossover study,* green coffee extract (a supplement made from unroasted coffee beans) may be the secret "miracle" ingredient for safe, all-natural weight loss.
In this study, 16 overweight adults took either a high dose (1050 mg) of green coffee extract, a low dose (700 mg) or a placebo over 22 weeks to test its safety and effectiveness for reducing body weight and body fat.
Incredibly, the subjects lost an average of 17 pounds each—10.5% of their overall body weight and 16% of their overall body fat! Six patients lost so much fat they shifted from a "pre-obese" body mass index to "normal." And best of all, no one reported any side effects.
Surprisingly, it's NOT the caffeine!
Green coffee beans are unroasted and have very little caffeine—about one-fifth of a cup of coffee. And they won't make you jittery like brewed coffee or ephedra. In fact, in some studies, green coffee extract has helped lower blood pressure.
The secret natural weight-loss ingredient in green coffee extract is chlorogenic acid. It inhibits the release of glucose (blood sugar) while boosting metabolism and fat burning. So taking green coffee extract has a double effect—it blocks fat from being absorbed and eliminates weight gain.
Since roasting removes the chlorogenic acid from coffee beans, your morning cup of joe won't give you the same fat-burning benefits as green coffee extract. It's too bitter to eat, so take green coffee extract as a supplement. The full clinical study can be found by clicking here.

How does Green Tea Hawaii work?
Normally to get the full weight loss benefits of regular green tea you would have to drink 70 cups of green tea a day! Do you want to drink that much of…well, anything? NO! So, the great minds at Green Tea Hawaii created a way to get all the benefits of those 70 cups of green tea into two convenient little packets. Each packet contains…
• 450mg of green tea antioxidants.
• One full serving of Noni juice, which naturally contains polysacchiride. This acts as a multiplier for the antioxidants in green tea, expanding their benefits 68 times!
• Xilitol, a natural sweetener derived from the birch tree bark. It promotes healthy hair, nails and teeth. In fact, dentists use this to clean teeth.
• L-Theanine, an amino acid that gives you energy and acts as a mood stabilizer. That means coffee or energy drink jitters just good clean energy.
• 10-15mg of naturally occurring caffeine
• 600mg of pure Hawaiian sugar combined with sweetener
• EGCG or epigallocatechin gallate, an antioxidant that protects your body against free radicals while aiding in weight loss.
Why is it a Powder?
• A powdered drink is not just a tasty way to increase energy and lose weight it's been proven time and again to be the best method for full absorption.
• You can take green tea extract pills all day long and still not receive their full benefits because they are not being fully absorbed in your body.
• Antioxidants and vitamins have a half-life, which means the moment they are immersed in water they start to break down.
So what are you waiting for?

Governance in the UK
Shareholder Rights
UK shareholders enjoy more rights than investors in many other jurisdictions. There is a universal one-share, one-vote standard, shareholders may put forward their own resolutions and nominate candidates at annual general shareholder meetings (AGMs).
In general, shareholders can mainly exercise their influence through the AGM - shareholders in the UK may themselves convene AGMs.
The rights of shareholders in the UK are detailed in many different areas, including provisions of the Companies Act 2006, in each individual company's articles of association, in the terms of issue of the shares, and in any shareholders' agreements.
Standard rights of shareholders are:
- to attend general meetings
- to vote at general meetings
- preemptive rights over new share issues
- to themselves convene AGMs
- to remove directors with a simple majority vote (which is in contrast to practices in many other countries)
- to a share in the company's profits
- to receive a final distribution on the winding up of the company
- to receive a copy of the company's annual accounts
Shareholders have played a crucial role in driving forward changes in remuneration reporting. legislation has recently been passed which gives shareholders the responsibility of reviewing and approving, by a binding shareholder vote, on a listed copmany's remuneration policy at least every three years. As such, shareholders will have much more power to hold companies and directors to account.
Audit Committees
Boards of Directors
Having evolved over a long period of time, the UK Corporate governance system is complex, involving many different sets of requirements, which cover behaviours of company leadership as well as reporting requirements. The UK has become known as a leader in the "comply or explain" corporate governance regime – which means that which companies can follow by either complying with the provisions or explaining why they have not complied in the annual report.
The key players are shareholders, the board of directors including sub-committees, and regulators. Together they inform how corporate governance is interpreted and applied in the UK.
Beginning with the Cadbury Code in 1992, these recommendations have been added to at regular intervals since that date. In 1995 the Greenbury Report set out recommendations on the remuneration of directors. In 1998 the Cadbury and Greenbury Reports were brought together by the Hampel Report and the Combined Code was issued. In 1999 the Turnbull Guidance on internal control was issued for directors. Following the Enron and WorldCom scandals the Combined Code was updated in 2003 to include the recommendations of the Higgs Report on non-executive directors and the Smith Report on audit committees. Further small amendments have been made to the Combined Code in 2006 and 2008, but the "comply or explain" regime has been retained throughout.
Now, governance for listed entities is largely covered by the UK Corporate Governance Code ("the Code", recently revised September 2012), though reporting requirements for listed entities are covered by a multitude of different documents including:
UK Listing Authority Rules ("Listing Rules")
Revised Guidance for Directors on Internal Control (formerly the "Turnbull" Guidance)
the Guidance on Audit Committees ("the Guidance")
The primary source of company legislation in the UK is the Companies Act 2006. The Companies Act broadly covers laws around company accounts, director's duties and responsibilities and shareholder rights.
