Date: July 29, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The following information was gathered from incident and arrest reports obtained from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
July 15
1:40 p.m. — 12000 Beeflower Drive. Petit theft. The victim reported the theft of a code box off the home. The address is vacant and for sale. The complainant stated the code box was located on the right side of the front door and that it appeared to have been removed and stolen. The key was in the code box, the complainant said. There did not appear to be any activity in the house.
July 15
4:30 p.m. — 100 block of 64th Street Northeast. Grand theft. The victim stated "Johnny" had borrowed his lawnmower, a 2009 model club cadet valued at more than $4,100. The victim lent Johnny the mower so he could mow some yards. He was supposed to return the mower after 48 hours and has not. The victim has made repeated requests to get the mower back and would like to prosecute.
July 14
9:05 p.m. — 6900 block of 74th Street Circle East. Grand theft auto and burglary. Sometime in August 2008, unknown persons entered the residence through an open garage and took two dirt bikes.
July 6
2 p.m. — 4200 block of Third Avenue East. Delivery of a controlled substance. The subject provided a controlled substance to his 16-year-old son for pain. The narcotic is described as 30mg of morphine. Post-Miranda, the subject admitted to violation of the crime and was arrested and transported to jail.
July 17
2 a.m. — 4500 block of Abacos Place. Burglary to an unoccupied dwelling. Unknown males were seen on bicycles; one of the suspects was riding the victim's bicycle out of the driveway of the residence. The garage door had been left open, and the bicycle was inside the garage. The victim called 911. The suspects fled. The victim's bicycle was located and returned.
July 13
3:30 p.m. — 3400 block of 29th Street East. Theft. The victim reported that her Nintendo DS was stolen. The roommate moved out July 1 and on July 3, she was told by a friend that he had sold it to her for $20.
July 14
4 p.m. — 3600 block of 71st Terrace East. Grand theft and burglary. The victim notified his landlord that he was going to be out of town for several weeks. Upon his return, the locks had been changed, and new tenants were living in his residence and using his personal belongings and furniture. The victim was not legally evicted from the residence. When the victim attempted to gather his belongings from the residence, the victim found many items were missing.
July 15
7:20 p.m. — 8000 block of Spring Marsh Drive. Identity theft. The victim noticed his online banking had two withdrawals that neither he nor his wife authorized. The couple still has their debit cards, so they have no idea how this could have been done.
July 15
12:09 p.m. — 2911 53rd Ave. E. (Wal-Mart). Retail theft. The suspect concealed items in her purse and left the store without paying. She was apprehended.

2:45 p.m. — 7200 block of 55th Avenue East. Uttering forged check. The victim received a letter in the mail from her bank regarding possible fraud. Upon further investigation, the victim was unaware of the transaction in question and canceled her account.

Rookie Dad and I enjoyed some relaxing time in our backyard this weekend as Julian was totally occupied with his swimming pool and some plastic mugs and mixing bowls. I highly recommend this activity.
Set up a baby pool in backyard with a few inches of water and some plastic cups. Grab a swim diaper or introduce Junior to the art of skinny dipping. Since you're a great mom, I don't need to tell you how closely this activity needs to be supervised.
If you think my son looks like a superhero in this picture, it's because he is wearing his weird sunsuit from One Step Ahead. I am a big fan of this product.
I also want to mention that I followed my own advice, and when my friend Sharon called me from Walgreens to ask if I needed anything, I told her I needed a $10 baby pool. Done.
Let us also mention that where we live, most people don't have pools.

County hearing examiner considers Battelle plans
Expanding an urban growth area is an arduous process and can take some time, which is why Battelle is getting a head start on plans to supplement its current Marine Sciences Laboratory north of Sequim, which it operates for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, with 15,000-square-feet of office and research space.
The laboratorys representatives have no immediate plans to begin construction on new facilities, but they have begun the application process to get a conditional use permit, which would allow additional research activities and buildings to be put into place.
The proposal went in front of Clallam County hearing examiner Christopher Melly on July 23 during a public hearing. Melly said he would have a decision the first week of August whether or not to allow the land use.
Battelle performs water resources modeling, ecotoxicology testing, biotechnology research and marine and coastal resource testing for the U.S. Department of Energys Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as well as other private and public entities.
The international company owns 140 acres of tidelands and uplands along the shores of Sequim Bay just north of the Sequim city limits. About seven acres are developed.
The application
Battelles application asks the county to allow for a 600-square-foot building for office space and labs and a two-story building with a 7,000-square-foot footprint to be used for laboratories and mechanical and support facilities. The company has no identified schematic or building plan, as Battelle representatives have no intention to build right away.
We are just in a planning phase right now, getting things lined up and being proactive with the county, letting them and our neighbors know of our intentions in the long run, said Van Briggs, the Sequim labs operations manager. We want to assure them that we will continue to operate in the same manner, doing environmental research.
Clallam County senior planner Greg Ballard read from a staff report at the meeting to Melly, stating the company likely would add about 10 employees and that the expansion would include office and research facilities.
Ballard also stated Battelle would need a new eagle site plan because of the facilitys proximity to American bald eagle nesting sites and other additional information for the countys Department of Community Development to issue a building permit.
Briggs said meeting those needs would not be a problem, adding that a building permit application will not come forward right away.
Melly makes his decision based on legalities surrounding land use, especially from the Clallam County Code, Comprehensive Plan and other state and federal land use laws.
Battelles land is zoned R5 or residential, in the Clallam County Code. The Clallam County Comprehensive Plan states commercial and industrial land uses should be focused in urban growth areas.
However, the comprehensive plan also identifies land uses like that of Battelles campus-style facility to be acceptable if located outside of the designated growth areas.
But Battelle is trying to change that designation.
Plans are still moving forward for the UGA expansion, but it will likely take some time, Briggs said.
One voice of concern came from the audience from a couple neighboring the Battelle property. Sharon Skill asked Briggs if Battelle planned on building closer to the neighborhood, essentially making the facility visible where it is presently hidden by a hill and some trees.
Briggs said the idea with this application was to keep development within the same area, but said over the long-term he couldnt say whether or not expansion would include the hill years from now. Ballard added that an eagle buffer protects much of the area.

Elements of Fiction
The elements of fiction - how many are there and what are they? A recent website described 77 different elements! Fortunately, some elements are more important than others. The six major elements of fiction are character, plot, point of view, setting, style, and theme. This presentation will discuss these six elements, along with a few others, as they pertain to an apocalyptic short story titled "A Wall Between Here and There."

This beautiful pressed glass water pitcher is unmarked. The pitcher is in excellent used condition with only two small scratches on the body. The underside has a row of beading around the base. The handle appears to have been molded in two parts as there is a line encircling the handle about a half inch out from where the base piece attaches to the pitcher. I thought it might be a repair but if so it is extremely clean and shows no sign of a break. It looks like part of the manufacturing process. The pitcher holds about 32 ounces, and weighs almost 3 pounds.

Improvement in velocipedes
Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
No. 210,435. Patented Dec. 3, I878.
UNITED STATES PATENT DEETpE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,435, dated December 3, 1878; application filed May 8, 1878.
'To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN B. ROOT, of. the" city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vehicles or Traveling Machines, of which the following is a specification:
In my application for Letters Patent for improvement in road-locomotives, filed October 27, 1877, the driving-wheels were so mounted and operated that their paths of travel were diagonal to the direction in which the machine was moving, the caster-wheels, which acted as drivers, being so arranged that those of each pair constantly receded from and approached each other in their movements. The same principle-driving-wheels tracking diagonally to the general direction of the vehicleis applied to the construction which forms the subject of this patent, but with this modification, that the drivingwheels vibrate sinuiltaneously-in the same direction, so that they remain substantially the same distance apart.
The invention consists of a platform,in combination with rearwardlyinclined casterwheels, so attached to the platform as to vibrate laterally with the lateral movement of the platform, the whole being so constructed and arranged that it can be driven by changing the center of gravity from side to side of the platform.
This construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which A represents the platform; B B, the driving-wheels; b b, spindles of the wheels B B 5 O, guide-wheel; D, handle of guide-wheel d, connecting-rod, and a a a frames attached to platform for supporting the wheels. The platform may be of any desired shape, that shown in the drawing being triangular.
The driving-wheels B B, constructed upon the principleof caster-wheels, are mounted in the frames to a, located at the rear angles of the platform, so that their spindles b b will turn freely in the frames to a to permit the wheels to take any direction in which they may be impelled by the force exerted upon the platform. The spindles of the caster-wheels B B are so mounted in the frames a a as to be inclined to the platform in a'rearward direction.
The guide-wheel O is located at the remainin g angle of the platform, and the rod on which the handle D is mounted is inclined or bent backward, so as to bring the handle within easy reach of the operator, who stands or sits near the center of the platform. The weight of the platform and its load rest upon shoulders on the stocks of the caster-wheels.
The vehicle is actuated and controlled as follows: The operator stands upon the central part of the platform, facing the guidewheel, and sways his body from side to side, or throws his weight suddenly from one foot to the other, thus changing the center of gravity from one side jg tl e other of the platform. This change of weight upon the platform gives to it a lateral movement, and this lateral movement of the platform causes the spindles b b to turn in their hearings in their frames a a, and changes the direction of the caster-wheels B B, causing them to run alternately to the right and left of a line representing the general line of progression of the vehicle. Thus the action of these drivingwheels becomes very like that of an car in sculling through the water, or a skater when he propels himself by the swaying of the body, with both feet side by side on the ice.
The machine can be guided by simply turning the guide-wheel from right to left, or vice versa, by means of the handle D.
What is claimed as new isl. A vehicle or traveling machine propelled by means of inclined caster-wheels, substantially as described.
2. A vehicle or traveling machine consisting of a platform mounted upon rearwardlyinclined caster-wheels and a guide-wheel, constructed and operating substantially as set forth.
Witnesses: 1 REM. A. SMITH Bon'r. H. DUNCAN.

Perhaps this isn't a fair comparison, but it will help paint a picture:
After helping lead the Red Sox to a 6-0 win over the Angels Monday night at Fenway Park with the first grand slam of his 22-year-old life, rookie Ryan Kalish has now totaled a .300 batting average, with two homers, eight RBI, a .333 on-base percentage, while slugging .440 in his first 15 games as a major leaguer. He has also scored nine runs and knocked in eight.
In the final 15 games played by David DeJesus -- the Kansas City outfielder who was the primary trade deadline target of the Red Sox until was forced to have season-ending surgery on his thumb -- the results weren't as impressive. DeJesus hit .254 with a .313 on-base percentage while slugging .271, managing just two RBI and seven runs.
The lesson? Kalish has offered a reminder that the answer (both for the present and future) might be closer to home than you ever thought possible.
"It's all about what you need and what you're going to get," said Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. "Let me tell you, not everybody can play here in Boston. That's the bottom line. I rather take something that I know that I'm going to get rather than just go fishing. And that kid, he's legit. I'm telling you right now."
There would undoubtedly be some semblance security relying on a 30-year-old such as DeJesus in the heat of a pennant race rather than a newbie such as Kalish.
But what Monday showed the Red Sox and their fans once again was that this is a rookie who doesn't play, or act, like one. It would be easy to say Kalish has come as advertised, but, in fact, in many ways the Triple-A-induced billing didn't do him justice. On the sliding scale that comes with entering the big leagues, the outfielder has transcended the expectations born out of the .294 batting average, five home runs, and 12 stolen bases accumulated at Triple A Pawtucket
"I try and keep it really day by day," said Kalish, who gave the ball from his fourth-inning grand slam to his father, just like he did with his initial big league hit and home run.
"When I first got to Double A I struggled for a month and it was a lot mental. Even in Triple A I started out a little slow. Then I got hurt and just took it day by day. Here I'm making little adjustments every day, but for me I just try and keep a short memory. It hasn't seemed like a hard adjustment, but this is the top of the game. I can feel the pressure, but I feel like I've gone through the adjustment periods."
The value of Kalish in the here and the now is becoming less and less debatable.
Now comes the next question: Has Kalish shown enough to be considered for full-time duty -- diminishing the need for a high-priced free agent -- come next season?
"I think so," said Ortiz when asked if the rookie should be considered for a starting nod come 2011. "He's legit, man.
"I think this is a kid who deserves the chance to play. I know it's early, but the way he works, there's no way he won't do this thing on this level. No way in hell. You might struggle for a little while, but he would figure things out. He's that kind of player."
in Boston, committing to a player the likes of Kalish, especially in the high-profile placement of the Sox' outfield, is always a delicate proposition. The salivation for runs at potential free agents-to-be Carl Crawford and Jayson Werth has already begun among Red Sox fans. And memories regarding Kalish's 2008 minor league campaign, in which he hit .273 with just five homers, are still fresh.
And there is always the option of easing Kalish into the outfield mix next season, perhaps using him as a fourth member of the equation, allowing the Sox' to lock up whichever high-priced target they choose to pursue. In that scenario, Kalish could then be groomed as the heir apparent to right fielder J.D. Drew, whose contract concludes after '11.
But Ortiz has a point when he points out to the value of knowing what you're dealing with. And with Kalish, a player the Red Sox have had high hopes for since drafting him in the ninth round of the 2006 draft, they have a pretty good idea what is making him tick.
"He's a package, that's for sure," said Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale.
"I think he's working his way into being a major league player who can be somewhere in the outfield and be productive. He's kind of embraced this. I don't think he approached it in awe or anything. He's kind of embraced it. This is a kid who has played three levels of baseball this year, he's embraced it, his eyes and ears are open, and his teammates offer him insight. We tell him to go play and let his instincts take over. It's early and I'm sure adjustments will have to be made, but he's a smart young man, and he competes."
There is a reason the Red Sox hold rookie development programs, and integrate prospects every chance they get into the big league clubhouse in Fort Myers. The program is working, with Kalish serving as the latest example.
Jacoby Ellsbury was 23 years-old with 33 regular season games under his belt when it set the 2007 postseason on fire. Dustin Pedroia was also just 23 during that '07 World Series run, while Jonathan Papelbon's production in the '05 pennant drive came as a 24-year-old. And remember when Justin Masterson was serving as one of the Red Sox' most reliable pitchers throughout the '08 postseason? He was just 23.
At some point a decision has to be made regarding the potential of a prospect. It's just that in his first 15 games Kalish is making the Sox' leap of faith not such a monumental hurdle.
"I kept telling him, 'Don't change your game.' I saw him play in spring training and I told him straight-up not to change his game," Ortiz said. "This kid, he goes out there every day, plays catch, makes sure his arm stays strong, comes and does his early work. That's what separates you from being an average player to being a superstar. And this kid, that's legit right there."

Times Square, then Long Acre Square.
We've been doing a bit of research about Times Square these days, in a forthcoming book about the history of Broadway that we're working on. The Library of Congress has as great repository of vintage photographs and we'd thought we'd share the striking evolution of Times Square from 1898 to today.
Image via Cryptome
The Empire Theatre, now the AMC Empire 25 in Times Square has a colorful history, with an interior designed by Thomas Lamb who created many of New York's impressive theaters like the Loews Mayfair Theater nearby, the now abandoned RKO Keith's Theater in Flushing, and many along Broadway. Today, the theater is one of the centerpieces of the revitalized 42nd Street but it doesn't actually sit in its original location. In fact, the whole building was lifted from its foundation and moved 168 feet westwards in 1997. The 3,700 ton structure was converted into the entrance way to a new retail complex. The original Thomas Lamb interior is now the lobby of the AMC Theater and if you keep your eyes open, there are many fun historical details that have been left.
In 1973, things were pretty dicey in New York City. The economy was tanking, crime was up, and Times Square was nothing like it is today. In fact, in 1973 the Office of Midtown Planning and Development was created by Mayor John Lindsay to begin the "cleaning up" of Times Square and vicinity. First on the list of attack were massage parlors, seen as a breeding ground for the prostitution industry that was openly operating on street corners. Lindsay proclaimed that "phony massage parlors [were] nothing more than fronts for houses of prostitution."
This map by the Office of Midtown Planning and Development locates the massage parlors, spas, "presumed prostitution hotels," single room occupancy hotels (SRO), peep shows, live burlesque shows, and adult book and video stores in Midtown.

Now through January 2015, the Skyscraper Museum is presenting the exhibit Times Square 1984: The Postmodern Moment. The exhibit takes visitors back to the seedy, crime ridden, nostalgic Times Square of the late 1970s early 1980s. In 1984, the Municipal Art Society and the National Endowment for the Arts organized an alternative "ideas competition" for Times Square with a $10,000 prize, in reaction to a critically panned proposal by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. The request for proposals drew more than five hundred entrants and widespread press attention. The New York Times recently highlighted this new exhibit in a slideshow highlighting 20 of the boards museum director Carol Willis was able to track down.

We've mentioned the abandoned level below Times Square before in our piece about abandoned subway levels and platforms in New York City. But this is the first time we're featuring some images of what it looked like when it was operating and after some years of abandonment.
The New York City subway carries many secrets, like any extensive system that was built over time. But the NYC subway also comes with it quite a bit of lore–from its urban explorers who have explored every nook of its vastness, the technological feat it was to build in some of the toughest Manhattan schist, and its evolution from high-class experiment to mass ridership.
No list of subway secrets can be complete, so we see this article as an evolving entity. We've started with our favorite secrets but encourage you all to comment and Tweet at us (@untappedcities) with other hidden gems. Special thanks to Matt Litwack, author of Beneath the Streets: The Hidden Relics of New York's Subway System for contributing his finds to this piece.

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Guide part 18
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Guide
Fragile Alliance - Fish Market
The fish market is a dense stage with lots of sniping spots from enemies (you cannot reach them except through bullets). After a brief encounter, you will reach the loot area. The looting area is under heavier fire (compared to other stages), so try to clear out the enemies as you loot.
After looting, the streets to the escape vehicle get dangerous. You can exit through the left or right alleys (left empties closer to a Chinese marksman), but both are equally pockmarked with hostiles. Here, your sniping skills will be tested in the dense urban clutter.
Greedy Bastard & other tasks
$5 million can be done over several rounds; the other Fragile Alliance accolades should be done on Subway. Fish market is too claustrophobic to allow you to manage the enemies coming at you.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, March 22 (HealthDay News) -- In individuals with hypercholesterolemia, the use of atorvastatin is associated with higher fasting insulin and glycated hemoglobin, suggesting insulin resistance and higher ambient glycemia, according to research published in the March 23 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Kwang Kon Koh, M.D., of Gachon University in Incheon, South Korea, and colleagues analyzed data from 213 patients with hypercholesterolemia who were randomized to receive placebo or 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg of atorvastatin daily for two months.
The researchers found that all dosages of atorvastatin significantly lowered low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels compared to baseline or placebo. Atorvastatin also significantly increased fasting plasma insulin by 25 to 45 percent and increased glycated hemoglobin by 2 to 5 percent compared to baseline or placebo. The drug significantly decreased insulin sensitivity compared to baseline or placebo.
"Because HbA1C levels are a sensitive indicator of ambient glycemia, our results strongly suggest that atorvastatin causes glucose intolerance that is due, in part, to decreased insulin sensitivity. These off-target detrimental metabolic effects of atorvastatin occur despite beneficial effects to improve lipid profile, flow-mediated dilation, and circulating pro-inflammatory markers," the authors write.

Thursday March 7, 2013 MYT 12:00:00 AM
Thursday April 18, 2013 MYT 1:23:26 AM
INDIAN WELLS (California): Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka arrives for her title defence here seeking another victory to take her closer to regaining the world No. 1 ranking.
A title repeat on the hard courts of the California desert won't send Azarenka back to the top of the heap, but it could set the stage for a showdown with current No. 1 Serena Williams later in March in Miami.
Once again, Williams and her sister Venus are skipping the BNP Paribas Open, where other notable absentees include China's Li Na.
World No. 5 Li Na is still battling the nagging effects of the left ankle injury she suffered in losing the Australian Open final to Azarenka.
Women's main draw play in the combined WTA and ATP Masters tournament began yesterday, although the top 32 seeds all enjoyed first-round byes.
World No. 3 Maria Sharapova, routed in straight sets by Azarenka in last year's final, is seeded second ahead of Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska and Germany's Angelique Kerber.
Roger Federer is the defending men's champion, and seeded second behind world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
Federer's hold on the number two ranking could be in jeopardy, with Scotland's Andy Murray in position to overtake him by reaching the final of the first Masters event of the season.
If Murray wins the tournament, he is assured of moving to No. 2. If he finishes runner-up, Federer must reach the semi-finals or better to retain the second spot.
The men's field also features Rafael Nadal, who ended a seven-month injury absence with a Latin American swing of three clay court tournaments that yielded a runner-up finish in Vina del Mar, Chile, and titles in Sao Paulo and Acapulco.
He's hoping Indian Wells will prove his left knee is up to the rigours of a hard court tournament.
Azarenka, 23, could face a tricky second-round opener against two-time former champion Daniela Hantuchova. The Slovakian faces a qualifier in the first round.
Azarenka could face American Sloane Stephens in the fourth round. The two last met in the Australian Open semi-finals, when Azarenka squandered five match points, took a medical timeout and returned to triumph.
Some commentators viewed it as gamesmanship, although Azarenka insisted she had a genuine health issue.
Also in the top quarter of the draw is world No. 10 and 2011 champion Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.
In the bottom half of the draw, Sharapova faces a tough opener against one of two former top-10 Italians, Francesca Schiavone and Flavia Pennetta.
Sharapova, the winner here in 2006, is pointed toward a quarter-final clash with sixth-seeded French Open finalist Sara Errani of Italy.
Poland's Radwanska is seeded to meet fifth-seeded Czech Petra Kvitova — a former Wimbledon champion — in the quarters.
Kvitova posted her biggest success in 15 months with a three-set victory over Errani in the final of the Dubai Open in February. — AFP

Posts from Weekend Meditation
A Beautiful Day
Weekend Meditation
We celebrated Thanksgiving here in the U.S. last Thursday, a day of great and delicious feasting or at least that's how it turned out in my neck of the woods. We laughed a lot and chopped a mountain of vegetables and rolled out pie dough. We clinked glasses, expressed gratitude, chewed and swallowed and smacked our lips in appreciation. We lingered around the table, fell into a heated debate on a thorny, controversial topic and still loved each other in the end. Afterwards, we walked the dogs, did the dishes, and took long naps on the couch. It was a classic Thanksgiving scene with all the usual, wonderful, over-the-top bountifulness and satisfaction.
Saved by a Bowl of Turnip Soup
Weekend Meditation
Right now, the most perfect thing in my life appears to be a bowl of turnip soup. I know. Turnip soup sounds like a punishment, it sounds like near starvation or prison rations but I'm here to say that nothing can be further from the truth. As I sit at my table with the bowl nestled in my hands, its pungent earthy turnip scent swirls around me and steams up the kitchen windows. I listen to the wet, rough rainstorm just on the other side of the windowpane and I consider my good fortune to be exactly here, exactly right now, with exactly this bowl of turnip soup.
The Messy Truth is the Most Beautiful Truth
Weekend Meditation
The picture above is an illustration of my average cooking session. Actually, it's somewhat less messy than my average cooking session. I know. I'm not supposed to show you this, but it's how I cook and, even better, I suspect it's how a lot of people cook. I'm showing it to you because sometimes we get caught comparing ourselves to an ideal, to some pretty Instagramed notion of how life should be. I'm showing you this picture because I want to encourage us to stop comparing our lives to the flicker and glow of fleeting images and instead to just meet the moment we're in, whatever it is, without judgement.
The Small Gifts of an Ordinary Day
Weekend Meditation
That beautiful packet of nougat pictured above is my inspiration for today's post. The nougat is a gift from a neighbor, left on her kitchen table as a thank you for stopping in to feed her cat this coming week.
I really love nougat. I love how its smooth chewy texture is studded with the crunch of nuts. I love the slight whiff of rosewater and the way it melts in my mouth. I love the pretty stripes of pale pastel colors and the French label on the package. I seldom have nougat because the good stuff is expensive and it's also quite sweet, so this little gift is a true treat.
A Tumble of Loss and Beauty
Weekend Meditation
It's the first Sunday of November and ah, it's been quite the week. So long, Lou Reed. So long, evening sun. So long, (this is for real now) tomatoes and eggplant. So long, clever and scary Halloween costumes. Goodbye Día de los Muertos sugar skulls and flickering, candlelit street altars. Hello bare branches and leaf-clogged gutters and cold foggy mornings. Hello roots and squash and garlic. Hello old sweaters and thick, wooly socks. Welcome, 'these dark days of autumn rain … as beautiful as days can be.' Welcome, November, and the comforts you inspire.
When One Thing Leads to the Other
Weekend Meditation
Perhaps one of the more interesting, creative and exciting things about being a cook is when one thing leads to another and before you know it, almost by accident, you have created something really delicious. Something out of nothing, or nearly nothing. It can begin with an idea, of course, a whispered question in the back of your head (I wonder if… ? Or how would it taste if…?)
Or sometimes it's that an unexpected ingredient has landed in your lap, which is exactly what happened to me yesterday when I ran next door to deliver something to my neighbor and she showed me the magical secret of her autumnal porch decoration.
The Rough, Scarred, Knobby Beauty of a Perfect Pomegranate
Weekend Meditation
It was nearing closing time at the farmers' market last weekend. I was I buying a bottle of olive oil from a young farmer and she offered me two small pomegranates along with my change. They were knobbly things, scarred and dusty. Some had even burst their seams in places, spilling out their gorgeous ruby arils. 'Do you want these pomegranates? They look funny but they taste wonderful.' I said yes, with great enthusiasm. Yes, yes, yes! And so she handed me three more.
The Last of the Garden Tomatoes
Weekend Meditation
I'm usually all about letting go and accepting what is and finding appreciation in whatever the current circumstances are offering. Week after week, month after month, for years this is what I've been exploring here in the Weekend Meditation post. So it's a little out of character for me to be so mopey about the end of summer. Maybe I didn't get enough sunshine in while it was here? Spent too much time in front of the computer writing these crazy essays instead of getting out there and frolicking amongst the tomatoes and zucchini? Whatever happened, I am now looking at the last four garden tomatoes rolling around on my kitchen table and feeling honest to goodness sadness that this is pretty much it.
A Beautiful, Sad, Chutney Kind of a Day
Weekend Meditation
The weather last Tuesday was beautiful and perfect, one of those early autumn days with indigo skies and crisp, crackling leaves blowing around in the gutters. Outside my kitchen window, the sun was out in full but its texture was thinning and it had shifted to a lower, autumnal position. I could see my neighbor optimistically and cheerfully planting fall flowers and winter greens in our shared garden. I stopped by to say hello and considered pulling up the last of the basil but couldn't bring myself to do it. Not quite yet.
Washing-Up Buddha, Revisited
Weekend Meditation
Way back in February of 2008, I wrote Washing-Up Buddha, my first Weekend Meditation for The Kitchn. It's been years since I've revisited that post, so I took another look this morning just to see what I was up to back then. I had long forgotten what I wrote and I was a little worried. Would I find that I feel differently than I did then? Did I say something I wished I hadn't? Have I changed a lot or maybe not enough?

Guest Commentary: Software patents are a distraction
Send this to a friend
- Keith Curtis
Editor's Note: Former Microsoft employee Keith Curtis is the author of After the Software Wars.
Software patents are frequently in the technology news, a multi-billion dollar licensing model existing in parallel to the traditional ways people acquire technology. Very few patents are enforced, but those that are often result in the transfer of secret and large amounts of money — not connected to the amount of work required to create the invention, but to the thickness of the wallet of the defendant.
It is interesting that a man like Nathan Myhrvold would start a company whose primary purpose seems to be acquiring software patents. It means that one of the deep thinkers of Seattle does not realize that software is math. In the 1930s, Alonzo Church created a mathematical system known as lambda (λ) calculus, an early programming language that used math as its foundation, and was Turing-complete, which meant it could express any program written today.
A patent on software is therefore a patent on math, something that historically has not been patentable. Donald Knuth, one of America's most preeminent computer scientists, wrote in a letter to the U.S. Patent Office:
I am told that the courts are trying to make a distinction between mathematical algorithms and non mathematical algorithms. To a computer scientist, this makes no sense, because every algorithm is as mathematical as anything could be. An algorithm is an abstract concept unrelated to the physical laws of the universe.
Nor is it possible to distinguish between "numerical" and "nonnumerical" algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from other kinds of precise information. All data are numbers, and all numbers are data.

DEFINITION of 'Indexed Rate'
An interest rate charged on loans to borrowers that is calculated by taking the sum of a benchmark index interest rate and a specified margin. The indexed rate is used to calculate the interest rate on an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). The benchmark index rate is a variable rate, while the specified margin remains fixed.
On an ARM with an initial fixed interest rate, commonly known as a "hybrid ARM" or "fixed-period ARM", the term "indexed rate" is most often called the "fully indexed rate".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Indexed Rate'
A borrower may or may not have a choice of indexes for a particular ARM. More frequently the borrower has some negotiating ability on the margin. Remember, the margin is a constant value added to the index level to arrive at the indexed rate. The lower the margin, the cheaper the interest on the loan will be. In addition, some indexes are better choices than others depending on the expected future interest rate environment.
For example, one popular mortgage index known as the MTA index is a moving average of another popular mortgage index, which is called the CMT index. In a rising interest rate environment, the lag effect of a moving average calculation is beneficial to the borrower. The opposite would be true in a falling interest rate environment.
