I, for one, am tired of hearing complaints that our giant, bailed-out banks have simply taken the money and run, giving nothing back to society.
They don't fear us, and they don't respect us. That's the only message you can take away from an Egyptian mob's attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo during which rioters scaled embassy walls and tore down the American flag on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. President Barack Obama helped ease out Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak - a dictator, yes, but also an ally - to facilitate the Arab Spring, and this is the thanks America gets.
About 30 years ago, Paul Volcker launched a monumental monetary effort to bring down inflation. As Fed chairman, he sold bonds, removed cash from the economy and cared not one wit about rising interest rates. And it worked. Gold plunged, King Dollar soared, and the drop-off in bank reserves and money extinguished high inflation - and actually launched a multi-decade period of very low inflation.
Maybe comparing Republicans to Nazis started with the 1964 Goldwater/Johnson presidential race.
I will never forget the phone ringing on that sunny September morning and my friend Annie telling me to turn on the television because the world was going to hell. My children, then 8 and 11, woke up a few minutes later to see me staring at the images of the planes hitting the towers.
What a good day it is, for only five years after that ugly Wall Street collapse, the Dow Jones Average has soared back above 13,000 and top executive paychecks are at Zippididoodah levels. The only little cloud over this otherwise sunshiny recovery is… well, you. You people for whom Labor Day is named, that is.
The conventions have come and gone, but as always, the TV network "news" coverage of Tampa and Charlotte demonstrated once again that these people have no intention of trying to be equally positive or equally aggressive with the two major parties. Their obvious, but unstated, agenda is to drag Obama over the finish line to re-election.
You've heard of the "October surprise," where candidates hold onto something negative about their opponent, then spring it at the last moment so the opponent won't have time to respond much before Election Day?
While Rep. Todd Akin's pseudo-scientific tommyrot about "legitimate rape" has surged him into the lead for the title of Dottiest and Most Dangerous Political Nut of the Year – never count out us Texans in any hard-nut contest.
The authors of the Democratic platform have inadvertently revealed to the world the sea change that has taken place in that party we once knew.
Perhaps the reason for President Obama's flat and energy-less speech Thursday night - TV cameras panning the convention floor actually showed delegates falling asleep - was that he already knew Friday's jobs numbers were going to be a disaster. The August unemployment report completely punctured his argument that if you just give him four more years, his policies will solve the economy.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - "First shot, straight through, that's how you perform under pressure," Barack Obama said in 2008. They played the quote with a video clip of Obama making a basket at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.
Back in 1988, we had what we thought was a great new idea. There was only one slot for a keynote speech at the Democratic convention on Monday night, but we had two great candidates for the job. One was the late Ann Richards, then the treasurer of the state of Texas and a candidate for governor, famous for her wit and wisdom (remember: George Bush was born "with a silver foot in his mouth"). The other was the governor of Arkansas, a young star of the party, a charismatic speaker, a southern moderate and a good friend. We needed ...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right." So reads the 2012 Democratic National Committee platform.
The case for re-electing President Barack Obama rests on five arguments, the most important of which is that Romney/Ryan represent sexism, racism, homophobia and fascism.
Just when you thought the plutocratic profiteers running America's exploitative, low-wage economy couldn't get any more clueless, self-serving, pious, and mingy - along comes Lady Maria of Marriott, magnanimously saying: "Let them eat tips."
In his U.N. address, President Obama listed a parade of horrors afflicting our world: "Russian aggression in Europe," "terrorism in Syria and Iraq," rapes and beheadings by ISIL, al-Qaida, Boko Haram.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Lawrence Silveira is a Sierra High graduate now living in Chicago. In this column, penned on Sept. 5, he writes about the differences between the two locales, and what he's learned in his first few weeks at Columbia College.
"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."
Here's an unusual super-rich guy with a strange message for his fellow 1-percent-of-the-1-percenters.
There's a photo-word montage on the Internet in which a little boy, presumably from Africa, looks skeptically at a woman who is apparently from somewhere else. The boy asks, "You mean to tell me you have so much clean water, that you (poop) in it?"
Where are the peaceniks? Why aren't they marching on Capitol Hill to protest President Barack Obama's use of military force in Syria and Iraq? The San Francisco Chronicle's Kevin Fagan interviewed peace activists who told him that their ranks are numb, in part because America has been at war for more than a decade. Some even wonder whether the Islamic State is so barbaric as to merit airstrikes.
"I see the media is at it again," an acquaintance said referring to the deluge of coverage after the Ray Rice assault on his wife. True, a ton of coverage on what became a national, if not international story.
For those of you who read my last column and thought I had crossed over to the dark side, this one should tilt the world back on its proper axis.
"You'll never meet anyone who says, 'I want to be a millionaire. I think I'll start a winery,'" owner Bill Smyth tells me from his small office over the tasting room of Westover Vineyards, nestled in Palomares Canyon. Smyth has worked in a number of fields. He made some money. He bought the vineyard property when he was young. His ex-wife bought him a kit to make wine, and his labor of love turned into a small business.

"First of all, I wanted to leave. Oh my god, this woman was so nice to me when I walked in there. Once she started hitting me with that deal, I got scared. I go 'Oh my god, she set me up, so should I get up and walk away? How is that going to make the business look?' I breathed, I focused on breathing. The only thing I could think of at that time was that WWE has the best wellness program, better than the NBA, NFL, MLB, so I think that is fighting for the company. I thought about firing back at her (Nancy Grace), but it was a really weird situation. I can't put that bitch over. I can't talk about her anymore, I want to strangle her. The last thing I want to be is in that position. The way it was told to me is that I saw four questions. I said 'I don't know about this' and Nancy Grace said 'No, it's gonna be a feel good piece.' When I walked in there, she was so sweet to me. She totally set me up." - Diamond Dallas Page talks about Nancy Grace

"I went on Nancy Grace last night expecting to discuss Warrior the man. Had I known the only topic discussed would be steroids I would not have participated. At the time I was also unaware of the list that was shown to the viewing audience. To imply that all of the wrestlers on that list died from steroids was wrong and for that they owe the families an apology. Again, my only intention was to discuss Warrior the man and share some stories about how dedicated he was to the wrestling business. I am saddened that was not what happened and my thoughts remain with his family." - Diamond Dallas Page discusses Nancy Grace interview

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In this movie, we're going to look at editing video to music. A lot of times, this comes in handy as the example we are going to see here. When you're editing music to a music video, and then like maybe when you're capturing the footage, or when you're shooting the footage, the artist were just kind of lip-syncing and you got to use the high quality audio to kind of sync them, both the audio and the video here in the timeline. These techniques might also come in handy when you're working in certain workflows where the video and the audio were captured separately, say for example, in the case of film. So there are a couple of great rules to keep in mind.
First of all, the audio file here, the audio waveform in the timeline is your best friend. So you want to click this little down arrow and make sure that we can see this waveform because this waveform tells us a lot about what's going on. If you need to, you can hit the Plus key on your keyboard to zoom in a little bit and see the waveform better and you can zoom in really, really closely so you can see the little minute details of the audio waveform, but we don't want to get in that closely. So it's kind of good. I like this view right here where we could kind of see the peaks. These are called transient. When there is like little spike that goes up, it's referred to as a transient, and then the spots where there is flatness, and the flatness means that there is no audio there.
So if you're editing a video of someone talking, you can actually see the flat lines, as you can in the first few frames of this audio clip here, where there is just a flat line, it means there is no dialog, no audio going on there. And again, the transients I was referring to earlier, this little spikes right here, this, right in the edge of the waveform where it's kind of peaking a little bit. You can use those to line up, like let's say somebody is about to say something and visually, you can see that they're about to say it, maybe they're, like, have a hard consonant, like an F or T, then you can line up the transient with that frame of video.
Now another great tip is to use the Sample Rate for precise editing, for when you're trying to align audio to video. We'll talk about that in the next movies. It's kind of its own topic. But another important aspect of this is to go the Preferences. On a PC, it'll be under the Edit menu. Under Mac's, it'll be under the Premiere Pro menu, go to Preferences. Let's go to General. And actually the option that we want, once we open up Preferences, it doesn't matter where we start from, we can go to Audio here and what we want is Play audio while scrubbing.
This can really help us while we are aligning audio, as we'll see in just a second. So I am going to go ahead and check that and click OK. Now that option basically means that as we're dragging the Playhead here, we can hear the audio play back. What's really cool about that is that the video and audio both play back while you're scrubbing. So you could see, in more detail, how aligned or how in sync your audio and video are. Now we have kind of a simple example here, just for the sake of easiness, I want to show you a few little tips here.
What we're going to do is we're going to play back and listen to when the singing starts and when the rapping starts. Okay, so right about here. Okay, so you can almost visually see there is a little dip right before they start rapping, right about there. And this video clip starts about when they rap, so we can just drag that to there and let's just see, kind of randomly, how that works out. (Video playing) Okay, that's kind of hard to see when you're playing back.
So let's go back and we'll scrub and maybe get a better idea, as we're listening to this slowly and watching every frame, how well this is in sync. I actually think that looks pretty good, especially as he says Time, the second time, the T and the M both look like they are in sync.
So for just a random shot out of the gate, we did pretty good here. If we did need to do some fine-tuning and we didn't want to use the Sample Rate, again, that we'll talk about in the next movie. One of the things that I like to do is trim a little bit off at the beginning, if that's possible, and a little bit off the end, and then use, again, the Slip Edit tool, so we can just kind of get in there and just tweak a frame or two in any given direction, so if it's a little bit early or a little bit late, we can just kind of click-and-drag left, to back this up a couple of frames, or click-and-drag to the right to advance it a couple of frames or one frame, if the case calls for it.
So, in a nutshell, those are my three quick tips for editing video to audio. Number one, make sure you are not only viewing the audio waveform by expanding the arrow here, but you're also using it as a guide for aligning audio in a rough sense.

What L.A.'s New Bike Plan Means For Cyclists—and the City
Despite Los Angeles' near-perfect weather, mostly-flat terrain, and an enthusiastic biking community, cyclists in L.A. still remain second-class citizens behind those piloting automobiles through the city. After yesterday's City Council ruling, that all could change. The 2010 Bike Plan, to be signed this morning, is perhaps the most ambitious pro-cyclist action in L.A. history, designating a 1,680-mile bikeway system and sweeping new bike-friendly policies.
The plan promises several changes for L.A. bikers: the Citywide Bikeway System [PDF] will introduce three new interconnected bike path networks—Backbone (long crosstown routes on busy streets), Neighborhood (short connectors through small streets) and Green (along recreation areas)—throughout the city, a new pledge for Bicycle Friendly Streets will make streets more pleasant for riders and walkers, and a series of education programs and safety policies will help cars and cyclists co-exist (you can download the entire plan here). Of course, this is just a plan, and one that's long overdue—for more on that, read last week's cover story in the LA Weekly. The real challenges may prove to be finding the proper funding to drive the plan towards implementation. That will take some massive commitment on behalf of the city.
But what will these changes really mean for the average L.A. biker? And how does this help Los Angeles move towards a culture that truly values those on two-wheels? I asked several bike experts who have been working closely with the plan to help explain what a plan can do for biking in L.A.
What is a bike plan, and what does it mean for biking in L.A.?
"It's a planning document, a guideline for what new things the Department of Transportation will do to accommodate cyclists over the next decade," says Jennifer Klausner, executive director, Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. "But it also heralds the beginning of the cultural shift we have been looking for, because the process of getting the document to this point (greatly improved) has been more collaborative that any bike plan that preceded it, and it has real political support, as evidenced by its unanimous approval."

What's the single most important issue the plan addresses?
"By recognizing that bicyclists have different needs, and by addressing them, the plan is something that should improve conditions for everyone who rides a bike to get from point A to point B," says Damien Newton, the editor of LA Streetsblog. "If you need to get across town, the inclusion of the Backbone Bikeway Network ought to help. If you just want to ride locally to the grocery store or to pick the kids up at school, a series of local networks are in place in the plan."
What physical changes will riders start to see?
"Right away, there are going to be some awesome bike lanes (white stripes on arterial streets)," says Josef Bray-Ali, co-owner of the bike shop Flying Pigeon. "Developers will hopefully get a nice bike parking-for-car parking swap towards the end of March (great way to cut down on construction budgets!). Further on, we'll have some big projects that remove car lanes to install protected bike lanes, a ton of smaller neighborhood bike networks that make shopping and getting to work easier." The DOT has already highlighted ten corridors where they will improve the streetscape to make it more friendly for bikers, notes Newton. One of which is along Figueroa in downtown, a project we covered here before.
How will the bike plan make biking safer on L.A. streets?
"The key, and this is the real key, is that bike lanes offer the city an opportunity to reduce the dominion of cars in the city by removing car lanes, slowing cars down in residential and commercial districts, and by focusing bike planning efforts on the city's most dangerous intersections," says Bray-Ali. "By slowing and reducing car volumes on our streets, we'll make the street safer for all user groups and make walking, using the bus or train, and bicycling much more appealing to people—and not on some recreational trail in a riverbed, but right outside their doors, on the way to school or work."

What about mountain bikes? Are they included in the plan?
"I wish it would have included increased off-road trail access for mountain bikers," says Klausner. "It does not, and in fact, takes away potential future trail access that was included in the previous (1996) plan. This plan does not change the fact that mountain bikes are illegal on trails in all L.A. City Parks, and that is really a shame, and a missed opportunity for the City's Parks Department, in my opinion."
What did the bike plan not do that you wish it would have?
"There's a great part of the plan that lists some progressive transportation options (for example, separated bike lanes) but didn't say when or where they're going to put them in," says Newton. "I would love for every Council Member to embrace a different one for their district." He points to the city's first bike corral in Highland Park which opened last week, and transformed a street car parking space with 10-12 bike parking spaces.
"It's too bad that the Cyclists' Bill of Rights [a document authored by the Bike Riders Collective] wasn't included," says Alex Thompson of Bikeside LA. "We expect it will be the next time around but it really should have made it in this time. The Cyclists' Bill of Rights simply collects together cyclists rights that are already in the law, so there's really no reason why they shouldn't be in there."

Monday mornings. They drag. Getting the ol' noodle back into work-mode, especially after a fun summer weekend, can be a tall order. Many of us head straight for the classic boost – a cup of Joe – to help combat a case of the Monday's but some new studies suggest that chewing gum could also provide some relief by enhancing our brain's arousal, alertness, and attention.
In a recent study published in the British Journal of Psychology, Morgan and colleagues assessed the performance of 40 psychology undergraduate students on an auditory vigilance task while chomping on a wad of gum.... Read more »

Do You Believe in Dog? is approaching our one-year anniversary (Wow! Yay!!!), and in the coming months, we will be opening up the blog to guest posts from other researchers exploring canine behaviour, cognition and welfare. Give a warm welcome to our first guest, Clare Browne from the University of Waikato in New Zealand. Hi Mia and Julie,As you both know from the last Canine Science Forum, my PhD investigates dog-human communication and how this communication affects dog training.(source)I would like to claim that everyone is New Zealand is a fantastic dog trainer and we all communicate brilliantly with our dogs, but alas, we're just like everyone else. It turns out that when people give feedback to dogs during training, we're often a bit slow. Let me explain...You're no doubt aware that if we want to increase the likelihood that a behaviour occurs again, positive reinforcement (AKA "rewarding" -- adding something to keep the behaviour going) will achieve this. The types of positive reinforcement that are most commonly used in everyday dog training are verbal praise, food, and patting/petting. My PhD studies investigated two things: a) how fast are dog owners delivering positive reinforcement to dogs; and b) does it matter if owners are slow in providing dogs with reinforcement?Not really Clare's gumbootsTo answer the first of these questions, I put on my gumboots and spent many evenings at my friendly local dog clubs, filming owners training their dogs in beginner classes. I collected 1,810 instances where commands were given to dogs. I then went slightly mad and spent months watching videos of people training their dogs. Figure 1 shows how all the dogs responded to their owners, and 44% of the time, dogs did not respond to their owners at all. This one result made me feel like I wasn't wasting all these years of my PhD – there clearly is a need for research into the efficacy of dog training!I used some fancy computer software and measured very precisely (down to 25 frames per second) the time between when the owners said the command and when the dogs performed the behavior, like laying down or sitting. I found that owners varied a lot in the time it took them to deliver positive reinforcement to their dogs. Some owners were almost instantaneous with their praise and then the treat followed quickly, whereas others took ages – the longest time was over 6 s! (That might not sound long to you, but try imagining that you're a Labrador and having to wait 6 s for a treat, all of a sudden it's a much more serious situation.) But does this even matter? Had I gone mad watching videos in my darkened office for no good reason?... Read more »

A new study shows that the entire body of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) is covered in hundreds of scales, each with a tiny spot full of nerve endings. During embryo development, these spots start forming in the head but eventually reach the whole body. Each spot reacts to touch, as well as changes in temperature and pH.

Tissue engineering is an extraordinary research field aim to engineer entire new organs from single cells. Not only would it resolve the problem of organs availability, but it would also annihilate the risk of graft rejection from the immune system.
The complexity of such process arise not only from a complex single organ cellular diversity, but also from the necessity of having the right cellular organization and complete networks of blood vessels to keep these cells alive. This complexity is particularly true for the heart, which has intricate networks of capillaries. Therefore, regenerative-medicine researchers are trying to reuse what biology has already created....

This week I've been wrestling with a particularly large writing project which has kept me away from posting in this column. But, staring into my Twitter feed in procrastination, I spotted much outrage about a paper on the adaptive basis of cunnilingus-assisted orgasm. I had to head over to the journal Evolutionary Psychology to take a look.
The authors, Michael N. Pham, Todd K. Shackelford, Yael Sela and Lisa L. M. Welling, all of Oakland University in Michigan report the results of a simple survey they administered to 243 men in committed, heterosexual relationships. They predicted that, in their own words:
among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of sperm competition are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2)....

With complex problems, we're often told to break them down into smaller, more manageable tasks. By tackling these smaller tasks one at a time, our distant goal will eventually be reached.
Researchers have discovered that the Goffin's cockatoo, a type of parrot native to Indonesia, can solve a sequence of five problems in order to obtain a treat.
The researchers, from the University of Oxford in the UK, the University of Vienna in Austria and the Max Planck Institute in Germany presented 10 cockatoos with a box containing a tantalizing cashew nut locked behind a see-through plastic door. A series of five locks needed to be unlocked in turn for the birds to reach their treat. The cockatoos needed to remove a pin, then a screw, then a bolt, then turn a wheel and then slide a bar sideways before the door to the cashew could be opened. The locks were interlocking – each lock was unable to be unlocked without the lock before it also being unlocked.... Read more »

The voice is an important tool which we use to communicate and express ourselves. But our voices convey so much more than the words we say. Just a few words can reveal clues about someone's gender, age, place of birth and mood.
The voice is also extremely flexible in its expressiveness. It's under constant vocal modulation – one minute whispering in a library then involved in conversation in a noisy pub. There are also vocal changes that happen less deliberately when we speak, such as when we start to pronounce words in the same way as our friends or flatmates. This reflects friendship and mutual approval.... Read more »

Air travel has the biggest impact on the climate per trip, but travelling long distances alone by car could be just as bad for one's carbon footprint, a new study has found.
The study was conducted by researchers at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research – Oslo (CICERO) and published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
The researchers compared the climate impacts of different forms of transport for a travel distance of between 500km and 1000km, typical of business or holidays trips.... Read more »

It cannot be legitimately disputed that the increasingly common practice of "case-running" among contractors, public adjusters and policyholder attorneys is in large part to blame for the increase in litigated Texas insurance claims — it is all about extracting additional money from the insurance industry, say G. Brian Odom and Tyler McGuire of Zelle Hofmann Voelbel & Mason LLP.
Some jurisdictions prohibit judges from being social media "friends" with any lawyer who appears regularly before them, while others do not prohibit the practice unless the "friendship" also implicates one of the canons of the Code of Judicial Conduct.

Companies whose Texas franchise tax liability would be reduced by applying the Multistate Tax Compact's "three-factor" apportionment rather than Texas' default "single-factor" apportionment should carefully monitor the progress of Graphic Packaging Inc. v.

Even without a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, it is likely to be a very active session for the Republican Congress next year — especially if they take advantage of some key legislative tools available to a congressional majority, say former congressional counsel now with Venable LLP.
While it my seem that there is a 50 percent possibility a district court litigation will be stayed pending an inter partes review or a covered business method review, a closer review of recent decisions in the Eastern District of Texas and Delaware reveals that whether a judge will stay a case is predictable, says Joseph Saltiel of Masuda Funai Eifert & Mitchell Ltd.

"We'll have the fish hot pot," I say to our waiter at Huong Giang, the new Vietnamese restaurant in the just-built strip mall at 4300 Buford Highway.
"I don't think you should get that," he responds. His expression is pained, hesitant and unhappy.
"Why not?"
"It's just not something people like."
"Do you recommend any of the hot pots?" I ask.
"The Thai hot pot."
OK, fine. On an earlier visit, I had not given up so easily. The same waiter, with the same expression, had told me I was ordering too much food, and did I know what I was getting into when I ordered the filet mignon cooked in vinegar? Of course I didn't, but that was part of the fun. I persisted. He acquiesced, miserably. The boiling vinegar was the most fun I'd had in weeks. More on that later.
I come across this attitude quite frequently when I order food in ethnic restaurants, when I ask for my food spicy and occasionally as soon as I walk in the door. It has me wondering -- is there a gang of American diners who troll Buford Highway ordering fatty brisket, spicy fish stew and salty lemonade, then sending things back because they are too weird? I'm sure every restaurant with a menu that goes beyond bland has horror stories to tell about diners whose adventurous spirits were bigger than their exploratory bite. Our waiter at Huong Giang seemed positively haunted by ghosts of disgruntled diners past. I appreciated the concern, really, but would I order something as bizarre-sounding as sour pig ears if I were looking for a safe, bland lunch?
No, I would not. And the reason for the waiter's pained expression is that there's not much that is safe and bland to be had at Huong Giang, and therefore not much to please the unadventurous. But on all my visits, I encountered a pleasant mix of Asian and American diners, all chowing down happily. There is much here to please the brave among us, and as long as you're willing to do a little of your own cooking, something for the less daring as well.
Huong Giang aims to be more upscale than the pho houses that proliferate this stretch of Buford Highway. The main design elements are the light fixtures -- chandeliers, really -- which have a style that might be described as Asian baroque. Shiny black tables and chairs also lend a slight air of refinement.
The restaurant specializes in the food of Hue, the central Vietnamese city that served as the capital from 1804 to 1945. As such, it is known for its "imperial cuisine," the food that was served at the royal table, as well as distinctive regional dishes more suited for the common household. The city's most famous dish, bún bò hue, is a spicy, rich beef-and-noodle soup that resembles pho and is served here with pig's feet. You can imagine my friend the waiter's delight when I ordered that one. I am a pho addict and will happily tolerate a pig's foot for the chance to dive into a musky, meaty broth. Another Hue specialty is báhn, rice-flour paste wrapped in banana leaves. Some of you may recognize this as the "tamales" found on the menu at Nam. Mixed with ground shrimp and pork and dipped in a mild fish sauce, the thin and slightly gummy rice cake takes on a comforting and exotic flavor.
The jumbo shrimp sauteed in tamarind juice is available as an appetizer or entree and is stickily delicious. The restaurant also serves bún, a bowl full of noodles with meat and veggies that you mix all together to create a fresh, minty, meaty salad dressed in fish sauce. The grilled-pork paste version, which is actually savory little pork meatballs, is a new favorite.
But the most fun to be had at Huong Giang is with the portable gas burners they set on your table for a number of cook-it-yourself dishes. The aforementioned filet mignon cooked in vinegar is far more appetizing than it sounds, and was the favorite at our table. A plate of raw, thinly sliced beef arrived along with a pot of vinegar imbued with vegetables and spices. The pot was set atop the open flame of the gas burner, and we were left to boil the beef ourselves, dropping it in the pot and then wrapping it up in rice paper with lettuce, vermicelli, mint and green plantain slices. The vinegar gives the tender beef a kick of flavor, offset by a funky dipping sauce made of fish paste and pineapple. Our waiter steered me clear of the sauce, but by now I had taken his discouragement as a challenge, and the sauce was delicious.
The bò né is another dish requiring fire, this time a hot, sizzling platter to cook the beef on. The char that's possible is nice, but I preferred the flavor the vinegar imparted. I also managed to set the table on fire. The sizzling platter comes with butter and oil to cook with, and when our beef started to smoke, one of the waiters advised adding oil. My grumpy waiter said, "Just a little," while the other one told me to pour it all in. I poured in about half, and poof, up went the whole thing in a hell-like inferno. Our waiter put out the fire and got us a new platter. It turns out his assessment of my incompetence wasn't so far off after all.
The Thai hot pot was quite delicious, the bubbling broth a sour, spicy elixir full of ginger. It came with a plate of raw shrimp, squid, clams and scallops as well as hearty greens and cabbage to be cooked in the broth -- "A little at a time!" the waiter commanded. It was a very difficult prospect to cook the shrimp long enough and yet keep the clams and squid from becoming inedibly tough. It can be done, but it requires a Jedi cook's sensibility for timing.
As if to pay me back, when I asked for a ladle for the hot pot the waiter brought one and dropped it into the boiling pot so that it was untouchably hot within seconds. I guess that's what a girl gets for setting the table on fire. But be persistent -- there's only so much discouragement they can give you before they back up and let you gnaw on your pig's foot in peace. Much of what Huong Giang has to offer is worth putting up a fight for.

Saving Money with Toronto's Airport Express
Minutes after finding my baggage, I was already deep in convorsation with two Taxi drivers. My question, "Roughly how much is it going to cost me to get downtown from the airport". They argued between eachother for a minute, eventually settling on "around $45.00″. I thanked them for the information and wished them a good day (how very Canadian of me). I prompty B lined it to the Airporter Express, located just a minutes walk from the exit.
This big magnificant yellow bus was waiting for me, hailing me. "Come Corbin, it's cozy in here. And it's under half of what you would pay taking a cab. Did I mention there's leather inside me. And power outlets, along with free wifi." SOLD! I courtly told the lady in the booth as I handed her a crisp Twenty and a ragged Toonie that looked like it'd been through hell and back. Not a bad deal.
The bus driver graciously took my bag and was happy enough to ask how my mornings been thus far. I informed him swell, despite hating the fact that I'd been up since 3:00am, caught a shuttle in Halifax at 3:50, and waited until 6:15 to board my flight to Toronto. He didn't need to hear that. Heck, I didn't want to hear that.
So as I'm writing this, I'm currently chilling out in these wicked spacious seats, jacked in to the internets (yea, it's plural now), and listening to some sweet 80's slash 90's radio station. "I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes". It did indeed Ace of Base.
Toronto, your Airport express rocks. Good choice on sticking Free Wifi up in this sweet-sweet ride.
7 Responses to "Saving Money with Toronto's Airport Express"
Great post Corbin, you have written a great guide to save some of the hard earned money.
- Rachel
Hey Corbin, there are three things worth knowing about transportation from Pearson that you didn't mention:
1. Airport Express only goes to certain hotels downtown. This means you either have to schlepp your luggage with you on foot or take the TTC if you're not staying at the Sheraton or whatever.
2. The $22 ticket was one-way.
3. Taking the TTC any which way costs $3. From Pearson, go down to the bottom level (exit S?) and catch the 192 Rocket bus to Kipling Station, which takes about 20 minutes, not including waiting time. One the bus rocks up at the subway station, you can get off at any stop of your choice. It's about 20 minutes to get to Spadina station, which is the closest of the big! stations downtown. Spadina station also has a streetcar station inside of it, so it's pretty easy to get anywhere downtown. (Check the TTC hours to make sure this is possible!)
Glad to see that you swung by my beloved city – I hope you had a great time!
I second the TTC method, it's super cheap and convenient!
