Gov't finds revenue sharing compromise
Deal 'splits the difference'
Joe Couture, The StarPhoenix With StarPhoenix Files By Charles Hamilton And L-P Files By Vanessa BrownPublished: Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Municipal leaders in Saskatchewan seem pleased with how the provincial government has determined new revenue-sharing dollars will be distributed.
The government decided to "essentially split the difference" in the positions of the groups representing Saskatchewan's municipalities, which were unable to reach a consensus, Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter announced Monday.
"They got half of what they wanted," he said, referring to the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities. "I would hope that they look at this and say this is a reasonable balance."
The province's revenue-sharing formula is tied to one of the five percentage points of the PST, and the total allocation isn't at issue. As part of a regular review, the government looks at how the money is divided among municipalities.
Reiter had asked SUMA and SARM to try to reach a consensus recommendation, but they were unable to do so and making the decision became part of the province's budget process.
The total pool of money is $264.4 million for the 201314 fiscal year, up from $237.4 million. SUMA and SARM differed on how the increase of $27 million was to be allocated, with SUMA calling for it to be done on a per-capita basis.
In the past, 46 per cent of the pot went to cities, which make up 60 per cent of the population, according to SUMA.
Towns, villages and resort villages were given 18 per cent of the funding, roughly equivalent to population. RMs were given 29 per cent of the money, although they make up 18 per cent of the population.
Reiter said Monday the province took $2 million "off the top" of the increase and directed it to northern Saskatchewan. Half of the rest was divided on a per-capita basis, and the other half was allocated under the existing formula.
Overall in 2013-14, urban municipalities will receive $170 million, an $18.1 million increase. Rural municipalities will get $74.7 million, a $5.9 million increase. And northern municipalities will receive $19.7 million, a $3.1 million increase.
Cities will get about 48 per cent of the total, RMs will get 28 per cent, towns and villages will get 16 per cent and northern municipalities will get roughly eight per cent.
"I would think everybody's happy because everybody's getting more money," Reiter said. "But the most important (question) is, is the formula fair and equitable, and I believe it is."
SUMA president and Weyburn Mayor Debra Button said the government's plan "acknowledges that we have challenges in our cities, towns and villages.
"Certainly it's a compromise, but SUMA doesn't view the compromise as a loss," she said.
SARM president David Marit said, "When you change the existing formula, there's a winner and a loser, but we still see an increase.
"As long as we keep seeing an increase in the revenue-sharing pool, we're OK," he said. "Our concern will be - and let's hope that doesn't happen for years to come - if we start seeing a reduction in the pool."
With the new formula, the City of Saskatoon will get about,$47.3 million, about $314,000 more than it had budgeted for under the old formula. The city received about $42.1 million last year.

Apparently drinking strong black coffee can help keep your teeth clean and strong. There are chemicals in coffee,called polyphenols, that attack the biofilm bacteria that causes tooth decay. Obviously having milk and sugar in your coffee would negate that effect. I understand that this has all been scientifically proven. I would like to add my 'research' to those scientific studies. I had to have quite a few fillings in my teeth when I was younger. I haven't had a filling for many years and before you ask I don't have false teeth…..yet! I never drank coffee as a child, in fact I probably didn't start drinking a lot of coffee until I was in my twenties. I get through up to six large black Americanos a day now. So is that why my teeth are so healthy? Maybe it is, but it is probably the reason I am so wired and don't need much sleep! You can't win them all can you? Maybe Dentists should replace those minty mouthwashes with a coffee flavoured version though.

octopuses, octopi, or octopodes – this is a stick up……. or is it!
Have you ever wondered why the Octopus never gets itself all tangled and stuck together? It's something that has bothered me for most of my life. Actually it's never bothered me, I just added that last line for dramatic effect. Anyway the reason is that one of the few things that the suckers on an Octopus tentacle don't stick to is Octopus skin! Is it the same for a squid? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Anyway to read the story about how sticky a tentacle sucker is click here. The whole experiment comes across as a little gory as it reveals that amputated tentacles can survive for up to an hour after being cut off! That's like the undersea equivalent of the headless chicken isn't it?
We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of dog!
Did you know that the actors who played the Munchkins in the classic 1939 film 'The Wizard Of Oz' were paid less than the dog that played Toto? Actually there was probably more than one dog playing Toto I suspect. The Munchkins should have got the wicked witch to run their Trade Union and use her flying monkeys as flying pickets! Or maybe they should have just fitted Toto with concrete shoes and leave him to swim with the fishes. OK animal lovers I was only joking!
By the way if you're wondering why Toto has a bigger picture in this post, it's because he paid me more than the Munchkins!
This is the longest game of hide the sausage I have ever played!
There is a small shrew-like animal from Australia called the Antechinus. These little animals probably have one of the best sex lives in the animal kingdom. The male Antechinus has so much sex that they disintegrate and die from exhaustion. Sometimes a single session can last for twelve hours! Are you listening Mr Tantric Sex a.k.a Sting? Surely you have to feel sorry for the lady Antechinus as well don't you? They need to learn how to develop a headache!
It's not easy being beige
Kermit the Frog is now around 60 years old. He is famous for liking a bit of bacon and for saying that it isn't easy being green. But did you know that in his first incarnation he was beige? That original beige version was made from Muppet creator Jim Henson's mothers coat. I can only assume that it was an old coat!
My dog has no nose…..
…how does he smell? Terrible! Those old jokes are somewhat crap aren't they? Anyway noses and smelling is something I learned about a few weeks ago whilst on a night out in Leeds with my great mate John Williams. yes we had a scintillating conversation about the inability to smell. We are so hardcore! Anyway if you are unable to use your sense of smell it is a recognised condition known as Anosmia. The only time that would be any good for me would be when a particularly ripe fart occurs when I am in the car on my own. The sort that requires you to open a window whatever the weather. does anyone reading this suffer from Anosmia?
Loud sperm has a whale of a time!
Do you have any idea what is the loudest animal in the world? It's that spunky fella the Sperm Whale. It communicates using clicking sounds which it makes by using its phonic lips. The noise can reach levels of up to 236 decibels. Click here to learn more about the Sperm Whale. Their sound is around 100 decibels more than the rock bands who have been recorded and measured as the loudest. That list includes Manowar, the Who, Foo Fighters, Leftfield, Motorhead and AC/ DC among many others. Incidentally if you like music you might wish to check out one of my other blogs. It is a music blog called With Just A Hint Of Mayhem, click here to find it! Apologies for that shameless plug!
Incidentally most of the top 5 loudest animals are also aquatic; 2 -Bottlenose Dolphin (220 dB), 3 – Snapping Shrimp (200 dB), 4 – Blue Whale (188 dB) and finally at number 5 representing land dwellers it's the Howler Monkey (140 dB).

Eugene Holloman may be out for Saturday's game with Massachusetts, but Jamal Sullivan says he's in.
The sophomore running back returned to practice at JMU on Tuesday. He missed the first two games of the season because of a torn ligament in his left thumb.
"It's been killing me," says Sullivan. "I've been really wanting to practice, really wanting to play, to help the team out a little. But it's just one of those things time can heal, you know?"
Head coach Mickey Matthews says he's unsure where Sullivan will fit on the depth chart. If Holloman, who Matthews declared "doubtful" on Monday with a quad bruise, can't play, Griff Yancey is expected to start at tailback.
Yancey missed Tuesday's practice because, according to Matthews, he was sick.
JMU quarterback Rodney Landers says Sullivan gives the JMU offense something it's been missing.
"Jamal's got great speed, too. He can get to the outside, he can make plays, too," says Landers. "But he's more of a bruising back. A dependable third down back who can pick up yards in traffic."
Senior cornerback Darrieus Ramsey also returned to the JMU football team on Tuesday.
Ramsey quit a week ago. But Matthews revealed Tuesday that the team's seniors voted to allow Ramsey to rejoin the team.

Tigray Region (ትግራይ ክልል Tigrāy Kilil) is the northernmost of the nine ethnic regions (kililoch) of Ethiopia. Containing the homeland of the Tigray people, it was formerly known as Region 1. Its capital is Mek'ele.
Tigray is bordered by Eritrea to the north (independent from Ethiopia since 1993), Sudan to the west, the Afar Region to the east, and the Amhara Region to the south and southwest.[1] Besides Mek'ele, other major cities in Tigray include Abiy Addi, Adigrat, Adwa, Aksum, Humera, Inda Selassie, Korem, Maychew, Wukro, Qwiha and Zalambessa, as well as the historically significant town of Yeha.
Following the conclusion of the Ethiopian Civil War, although the area which became the Tigray Region was thought by inhabitants in the rest of Ethiopia to be the beneficiaries of enormous funds from an Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) government dominated by fellow Tigrayans, in reality even emergency assistance was slow to materialize. John Young, who visited the area several times in the early 1990s, attributes this delay in part to "Budgetary restraints, structural readjustments, and lack of awareness in Addis Ababa of conditions in the province", but notes "an equally significant obstacle was posed by an entrenched, and largely Amhara-dominated central bureaucracy which used its power to block even authorised funds from reaching Tigray." At the same time, a growing urban middle class of traders, businessmen and government officials emerged which was both suspicious and distant from the victorious EPRDF. The ruling party attempted to address these challenges in forums with its middle class critics, as well as the establishment of a number of charitable non-governmental organizations controlled by the EPRDF, which include Endowment Fund for the Rehabilitation of Tigray, Relief Society of Tigray, and Tigray Development Association.[2]
In 1998, war erupted between Eritrea and Ethiopia over a portion of territory that had been administered at part of Tigray, which included the town of Badme. Following a 2002 United Nations decision, much of this land was awarded to Eritrea, so far however, Ethiopia has refused to implement the final and binding ruling and as a result, relation with Eritrea is very tense.
Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA), the Tigray Region has an estimated total population of 4,314,456, of whom 2,124,853 are men and 2,189,603 women; urban inhabitants number 842,723 or 19.53% of the population. With an estimated area of 50,078.64 square kilometers, this region has an estimated density of 86.15 people per square kilometer. For the entire region 985,654 households were counted, which results in an average for the Region of 4.4 persons to a household, with urban households having on average 3.4 and rural households 4.6 people.
In the previous census, conducted in 1994, the Region's population was 3,136,267, of whom 1,542,165 were men and 1,594,102 women; urban inhabitants numbered 621,210 or 14% of the population.
According to the CSA, as of 2004[update], 53.99% of the total population had access to safe drinking water, of whom 42.68% were rural inhabitants and 97.28% were urban.[3] Values for other reported common indicators of the standard of living for Tigray as of 2005[update] include the following: 31.6% of the inhabitants fall into the lowest wealth quintile; adult literacy for men is 67.5% and for women 33.7%; and the Regional infant mortality rate is 67 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, which less than the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurred in the infants' first month of life.[4]
At 96.55% of the local population, the region is predominantly inhabited by people from the Semitic-speaking Tigray people. Most other residents hail from other Afro-Asiatic communities, including the Amhara, Saho, Afar, Agaw and Oromo. There are also a minority of Nilo-Saharan-speaking Kunama Nilotes.

Its working language is Tigrinya.[6]
The CSA estimated in 2005 that farmers in Tigray had a total of 2,713,750 cattle (representing 7.0% of Ethiopia's total cattle), 72,640 sheep (0.42%), 208,970 goats (1.61%), 1,200 horses (less than 0.1%), 9,190 mules (6.24%), 386,600 asses (15.43%), 32,650 camels (7.15%), 3,180,240 poultry of all species (10.3%), and 20,480 beehives (0.47%).[7]
A distinctive feature of Tigray are its rock-hewn churches. Similar in design to those of Lalibela, these churches are found in four or five clusters—Gheralta, Teka-Tesfay, Atsbi and Tembien -- with Wukro sometimes included. Some of the churches are considered earlier than those of Lalibela, perhaps dating from the eighth century. Mostly monolithic, with designs partly inspired by classical architecture, they are often located at the top of cliffs or steep hills, for security. For example, Tigray's ancient Debre Damo monastery is accessible only by climbing a rope 25 meters up a sheer cliff.
Looting has become a major issue in the Tigray Region, as archaeological sites have become sources for construction materials and ancient artifacts used for everyday purposes by local populations.[8]
The area is famous for a single rock sculptured 23 meter long obelisk in Axum as well as for other fallen obelisks. The Axum treasure site of ancient Tigrayan history is a major landmark. Yeha is another important local landmark that is little-known outside the region.

May Bank Holiday in Aberystwyth
Aberystwyth is a great holiday spot for spring, as there are many beaches to explore. You have Clarach Bay, which is an enclosed beach with rock pools, Borth Beach, which is a boat launching and family friendly beach, and then North Beach Aberystwyth, which is the closest to accommodation in town. Unusually, rock fans may find the Led Zeppelin connection fun to see here too: not only does Robert Plant own an estate nearby, but there are numerous historical sites where the likes of "No Quarter" and "Led Zeppelin III" were written! The band flocked to this area of Wales back in 1970, where they spent a great deal of time tuning their musical talent.

The Great Generation
The Yanks use this phrase for people of Mr Wilkes' time and purpose. And rightly so, in my humble opinion.
Creating value before the phrase had been invented.
Add inventor of the cloud to his list then as well
Considering he was running the first one ever with people using it as a service.
Re: Add inventor of the cloud to his list then as well
"Considering he was running the first one ever with people using it as a service."
Back then they called it "mainframe timesharing."
You say "browser," I say universal "dumb terminal."
"The generator was driven by a very early electric drill - something that would make no sense in real life."
You try telling Zmodem that !
Use case
"The generator was driven by a very early electric drill - something that would make no sense in real life."
Unless you want to generate 3 phase for a home lathe/mill from a single phase mains input and your too cheap to buy an electronic converter.
Re: Use case
When I was at university (in the dark ages, not quite Wilkes era, but not too long afterwards), we had a Control Data CYBER74. It ran exactly this way -- big motor-generator sets in the basement converted line voltage to 400Hz AC -- allowing the power supply components to be smaller was the reason I was given -- which was then used to power the beast.
I believe it was a case of "horses for courses" -- the electronic converters available at the time were more expensive and less reliable than the good old electromechanical way of doing the job.
Re: Use case
Those single to three phase converters seem to go wrong for a hobby... you might be better off with a diesel powered 3 phase generator.
Re: Use case, Peter Simpson 1
Or where the incoming line voltage/current fluctuates too much. Singing River Hospital had a motor-generator set between the mains power and the computer room to provide nice clean power.
Re: Use case
400Hz is also MIL spec. It's used on ships and planes because 400Hz motors can be smaller and lighter. It's not used on utility grids becaujse long-distance transmission losses are prohibitively high. 400Hz pre-switched-mode power supplies were also lighter, and needed less huge electrolytic capacitors.
Did CDC sell a lot of kit to the US Military? I'm guessing that they did.
Re: Use case
400Hz AC -- allowing the power supply components to be smaller was the reason I was given
Indeed. A transformer's power rating is the core area times the working frequency times some factor, so if your frequency goes up, the transformer's size can go down while keeping the same power specification. Also, smoothing capacitors need only buffer 1/800 sec instead of 1/100 (or 1/120) sec., so you can use smaller caps (in value, which translates to physically smaller again).
Re: Use case
"Did CDC sell a lot of kit to the US Military? I'm guessing that they did.
There's a book called "A few good men from Univac," about the founding of CDC. Note 2 things.
Univac definitly did. IIRC they were big suppliers of the US navies standard ISA computers (the YK something or other. Less famous than the USAF's 1750A ISA).
One of those men was Seymour Cray.
The old motor/generator trick is old school power electronics. Right up with the monster mercury arc rectifier (make sure your wearing sunblock and dark glasses if you're standing near one of these when it's running).
1962 Nobel Prize winner!
Actually, no. The Maurice who won the Nobel Prize in 1962 was molecular biologist Maurice Wilkins, not Maurice Wilkes. When Alfred Nobel wrote his will in the 19th century, he didn't foresee that there might someday be computers and thus computer scientists deserving of prizes.
Wilkes the mathematician
Wilkes lectured on numerical analysis to first-year students - I was one of them. His lectues were wonderfully clear, and tempted me to do the numerical analysis questions in the exams. I found these questions seemed somewhat easier than the questions in the more popular fields.
He was lecturing to a large audience, of maths students plus those doing various sciences. In that large room, he used a microphone, which kept breaking down. Some of the plebs jeered or hissed, others conspicuously walked out. Some seemed to attend the lecture for the sole purpose of walking out when the embarrassment began.
One valuable point he taught was that bit patterns could be interpreted as fractions rather than integers. Years later I had to modify software for Dungeness nuclear power station, where the equations for the control algorithms were implemented using fractions - so for example a temperature might be a fraction of 800 degrees Centigrade. I found it useful to provide two comments for each section of code: first the mathematical equation, and secondly the scaled arithmetic equation. The latter would explain the sundry multiply or divide operations by seemingly arbitrary constants.
There was no floating point arithmetic on small process control computers in those days. I shudder to think how such software would get regulatory approval today.
Digital Computers????
As opposed to what exactly? Analogue?
Yes, I am being a pedant..
Re: Digital Computers????
Yes, exactly. Digital computers, as opposed to analog computers. After all, analog computers already existed before the first digital computers arrived.
Re: Digital Computers????
Would a slide rule be an "analogue computer?"
Re: Digital Computers????
Look up "operational amplifier".
Re: Digital Computers????
"As opposed to what exactly? Analogue?"
Yup, many of those. See the tide predictor in Liverpool Museum should you be passing by one day.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-predicting_machine [ not the Liverpool one]
And remember that for a generation before Wilkes', a 'computer' was a retired bank clerk or amenable housewife who would pound away on the Brunsviga according to your instructions.

Bringing Titan to Its Knees
I worked with the Lab team and Titan in my senior year in Physics, and managed to write a radio-astronomy program that brought Titan to its knees every night. Finally, the Lab took pity on all the experimenters I locked out, and showed me machine loop coding! Fun days, a great group to work with, and they were patient. If I did this today, I'd probably just get a nice message saying "over allocation. Come back next month!"
The result was I decided to be a computer engineer and not a radio-astronomer!
He's also credited with describing the *idea* of microcode in 1951 and CPL -> BCPL -> C
Although that was at London U. So even his duds were pretty impressive.
Re: He's also credited with describing the *idea* of microcode in 1951 and CPL -> BCPL -> C
"So even his duds were pretty impressive."
I mean CPL.
"Microcode" has a very successful history from the at least the IMB 360 (But I be a few systems used it before 1960) on forward.

Poland will conduct its first carbon auctions for phase III of the EU emissions trading system (ETS) on the common EU auction platform, the country's environment ministry has confirmed.
The decision means early phase III auction volumes will be overwhelmingly concentrated on the European Energy Exchange (EEX).
The German bourse won the tender to host the EU's transitional common auction platform, where 250m carbon allowances will be sold beginning later this year (see EDCM 10 September 2012). A permanent EU platform will be selected at a later date.
In the meantime, EEX will also host early phase III auctions for the EU's most-emitting country, Germany (see EDCM 29 February 2012).
Poland still plans to set up its own permanent auction platform for phase III, which runs from 2013-2020, but has not yet launched the tender for its platform.
"At the moment, the Polish legislation process regarding our own platform is in progress. The tender for the permanent platform will be launched as soon as the legislative process is over. We estimate that it takes about three months since the start of the tender to the selection of the winner," a spokeswoman for the environment ministry said.
"Until [the] Polish platform is in place we will conduct auctions of emission allowances on the EU platform. There will be no transitional platform," she said.
Registry upgrades
The auctioning of phase III (2013-2020) emissions trading system carbon allowances and of aviation allowances will be enabled on 2 October when new features of the EU's carbon registry are enabled, the Commission said on Monday.
The new features will also prevent the transfer of allowances from a holding account to an account that is not on a participant's trusted account list, the Commission said.
However, a new account type - trading accounts - will also come on line, allowing transfer of allowances to trusted accounts without the 26-hour delay to which holding account transfers are subject.
The roll-out of the new functions will see the union registry shut from Friday 28 September at 18:00 central European time until Tuesday 2 October at 08:00.
Spot trading is not possible when the registry is closed. VF

G-Unit leader 50 Cent will star in the upcoming Things Fall Apart film, originally speculated to be titled Love Me, Love Me Not.
According to reports, the rapper will portray a college senior football star.
Rapper-turned-actor Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Randall Emmett have greenlit their next feature, "Things Fall Apart," through their Cheetah Vision Films banner with Jackson starring. Project's scheduled to begin five weeks of lensing in May in Michigan with Mario Van Peebles directing from a script by Jackson and Brian Miller. The film centers around a star football running back, played by Jackson, who faces a personal tragedy as well as his own mortality while in his senior year in college. (Variety)
Reports last week claimed he recruited Grand Valley State University graduate Brian Miller to help with the movie.
Grand Rapids-born filmmaker Brian Miller has co-written a movie script with actor/rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. The film has a working title of "Love Me, Love Me Not," in which Jackson plays a football star facing a major change in his life. It is likely to finish shooting locally in April with director William Eubank and co-stars Lynn Whitfield and Mario Van Peebles. Miller, a 1999 graduate of GVSU's School of Communications, spoke to film classes at his alma mater this week. He wrote and directed "Caught in the Crossfire," which shot in Grand Rapids in 2009 with Jackson, Chris Klein and Adam Rodriguez; the film has yet to be released. (Grand Rapids Press)
His film reportedly went into production earlier this month.
There's a little bit of Hollywood in West Michigan this week. Rapper turned actor 50 cent and his production company, Cheetah Vision Films started shooting a movie at Grand Valley State University's football stadium in Allendale this morning. GVSU grounds crews spent all day clearing snow off the field all day getting ready for the film, titled 'Love Me, Love Me Not.' Shooting for the first phase of the film is set to wrap up on Wednesday (February 17). (Fox 17 News)
Confirmation on the filming was made by Grand Valley State University officials in early February.
"I think the students really enjoyed it," senior associate athletic director Lisa Sweany said. "We had a lot of kids standing around watching the (filming). I think it's pretty exciting for us. If they shoot the trailer and they get the financial backing they need (for a feature-length film), it's possible they could come back here in the future. It's a good opportunity for GVSU." (MLive News)
No further details have been released as of now.

Well, first of all Frost Presence received a buff to more accommodate for lack of shield, your armor should be on par with equivalently geared warriors or paladins.
Your spec looks ok as a blood tank spec, you've got the Tier1 talents you need to give you a good starting point.

Otherwise, I would say your gear is fine for starting Naxx, and the typical response remains - you need to spend lots of time in heroics collecting badges and getting the upgrades you can out of them.


text: EXCLUSIVE -- Source: Publisher 'Freaking' over 'Trolling' Gabriel Sherman's Delayed Ailes Book Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 26 Apr 2013 post a comment After Breitbart News reported on Monday that Gabriel Sherman, the author of a forthcoming screed against Roger Ailes and Fox News, had his book's publication date pushed back to January of 2014, two sources close to Sherman's project, as well as Pat Caddell, commented to Breitbart News about the possible reason for the delay. One source close to the project told Breitbart News that Sherman "first contacted me in the Fall of 2011" and mentioned "Christmas 2012" as his expected publication date. "That was an ambitious timeline, but made sense; after all, a book on Fox is not 'War and Peace,'" the source said. The first source said the publication date then "slipped to May of '13, and I began to think to myself, 'Gee, he's having trouble getting it done.'" "And now we're hearing 'early '14' for publication," the first source said. "I can only conclude that he must be having real trouble getting his manuscript done--either because of writer's block, or else because the lawyers are demanding rewrites. Not a good sign. Random [House] must be freaking." Another source close to the project told Breitbart News that when the source "first heard from Mr. Sherman, it was obvious that he was trolling for dirt on Roger and Fox." "And not only that, he was trolling for dirt on Mrs. Ailes, and the Ailes family, and, in particular, the newspaper she runs upstate," the second source said. "I don't think it's right to bring the family into Mr. Sherman's book, and in addition, I don't particularly think anybody cares about small-town newspaper stuff." The source added, "I can't help but compare Mr. Sherman to Brian Stelter of the [New York] Times. Mr. Stelter's book on the network morning shows and their rivalry seems to focus on the dramatis personae--Matt Lauer, Ann Curry, Jeff Zucker, Jim Bell, et al." Stelter just released a book about the personalities behind the morning television ratings wars. "Those are interesting people, that people have heard of. That's the TV book to read--because it's about TV," the second source said. "I am afraid that Mr. Sherman has found himself lost in the modern day equivalent of Sleepy Hollow." What these sources describe is consistent with Pat Caddell's most recent dealings with Sherman. The top-level Democrat who was one of President Jimmy Carter's chief advisers and strategists lit into Sherman recently after a series of run-ins. Those interactions led Caddell to accuse Sherman of "cluelessness," "laziness," and "incompetence." Given his experience with Sherman, Caddell was not surprised when Breitbart News contacted him for comment about Sherman's book being pushed back to January. "It appears that my thought that Random House might find Gabe Sherman's efforts an embarrassment may have been borne out," Caddell told Breitbart News.

Blister Packs are better

iherb now sells Saecire in blister packs. This is it, even though it doesn't mention it in the product description. I think its much better to buy them in this form because they stay fresh longer and you don't have to smell the fishy capsules because they are wrapped in blister packs!
Great product!

My 86 yro vibrant healthy dad contracted a superbug germ and nearly died with pneumonia; hospitalized for two months! He lost so much weight and was down to 120 lbs. I heard about Seacure from Dr. Christiane Northrup; apparently they are using it in ICU wards for patients on feeding tubes. My dad recovered and he started the Seacure as soon as he got home - he has gained his weight back (with only a few lbs. to go). This is a wonderful product and I am thinking of getting it for myself due to the power of its amino acids to help the immune system.
Great product

This product has really helped me. The blister pack is the same price. Less smell, more hassle and packaging. However, I will continue to buy it. The large bottle was smelling up my purse and everything around it.

Hooray! Foil wrapped fish capsules control the terrible odor associated with the bottled version of this product. Odor was so strong that it was impossible to contain for travel. Foil packets make it actually possible to carry these with you to keep up with daily fish supplements.

Gabrielle Hamiltons much-anticipated memoir, Blood, Bones, and Butter, isnt out till March of next year, but the advance readers edition has started to hit desks around town. Its plastered not only with a blurb from Anthony Bourdain (echoing his previous praise), but also one from Mario Batali: I will read this book to my children and then burn all the books I have written for pretending to be anything even close to this. Then I will apply for the dishwasher job at Prune to learn from my new queen. The book is available for preorder now, so lets have a look inside.
Prune, as her mother calls her, was one of five children growing up in a burnt-out silk mill in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where her mother roasted marrow bones and her father (an artist and set designer) roasted entire goats for elaborate lawn parties. Her parents divorced when she was 13, leaving her to her own devices and sending her on a shoplifting spree and into her first restaurant gig. She hardly speaks to her mom during the years that she works as a 17-year-old, coked-up cocktail waitress at the old Lone Star Caf in the Village (she gets busted stealing from the management), attends Hampshire College (only to drop out), cooks in a summer-camp kitchen (she gets an early compliment from one of the kids dads, Mr. Mark Bittman), works for a big catering company (youll never want to hire one again after reading about wedding hors doeuvres sitting around for days), studies to be a writer at the University of Michigan (she takes another catering gig and learns how to can, smoke, pickle, and shuck beans from a colleague and mentor), and travels Europe (after working in a crperie in France, shes inspired to sign the lease for Prune, because I had learned about buckwheat galettes and white flour crpes and room temperature lettuce and salted butter and cellared hard cider in a typical Breton creperie).
But while Hamilton doesnt see her mother for two decades, shes clearly influenced by the womans fastidiousness about food. Later in life, the chef refuses to brunch at places that need to lure customers in with free mimosas, no matter how hungry she is. And she doesnt much like those pretentious restaurants on Smith Street, that minor-league stretch of Brooklyn that always disappoints. Heck, she even has things to say about a certain Italian spot around the corner from Prune: Even though it was a nothing place with cheap German parmesan standing in for the real thing and commercial balsamic vinegar in industrial-sized plastic jugs, you had to wait for an hour on the sidewalk for a table, naturally.
Hamilton meets her future husband (and father of her two kids) when he skips the wait at this restaurant (Lil Frankies, were thinking?) and walks into Prune instead. At the time, shes in the grips of a prolonged breakup with a woman she met in Michigan, but Michele (an Italian) seduces her with homemade ravioli and motorcycle rides to the beach. Later, after she reluctantly marries him for the purpose of a green card, it turns out to be something deeper. They spend their Julys with his mom and her housekeeper; her adopted Italian family instructs her in everything from forming orecchiette to shopping at the market for the first time in years (she stopped going to the Greenmarket when some hipster chick in sparkly barrettes and perfectly styled farmer clothes came screeching at me DONT TOUCH THE PEAS!).
Hamilton writes about her formative food experiences lyrically even something like Coca-Cola is so tannic and sweet and achingly cold that it makes my eyes tear up. But the book also has its share of Bourdain-esque bravado. She doesnt pull any punches when describing the neighbors who add to the stress of running Prune (the 240-pound Brazilian who hangs out on the sidewalk showing off his man titties, and the old biddy who calls down to complain every time the black music is too loud), or when recalling a time she spoke on a panel with other female chefs and ended up crying during the train ride home. She writes, Every time I think I can rely on a group or category like my sister women in the industry or my sister lesbians or whatever Ruth Reichl frosts me at an event, for the seventh time, or the women on my panel say ridiculous things about womens superiority or the lesbians go out and start voting Republican and the whole thing caves in for me, and I start to mistrust my own kind.
Hamilton offers a few inside glimpses into the restaurant business (shes proud that Prune does $2 million in sales per year, even if its not a 10 percent profit margin during a typical brunch, the tiny kitchen goes through 192 Thomas English muffins and 1,440 eggs), but for the most part this book is more nuanced and confessional than Kitchen Confidential. Its author doesnt hesitate to reveal the anguish of being married to a man she feels she doesnt really know (their greatest pleasure, besides the Italy trips, is beer on ice). Shes brutally honest in recounting the moment she realizes when her mother mixes blackberry schnapps with jug wine that the woman who sent her to school with ratatouille sandwiches on homemade olive-oil bread isnt the insufferable snob she thought she was. She boasts about her work ethic (one to-do list she makes while about to give birth includes have baby and train CR on a 2-man line), but at the same time, shes not too calloused to recall the giddiness she felt when being driven to a Martha Stewart taping for the first time, or the awkwardness of having to decide whether to give money to a beggar while she rides in an Escalade, like military brass, to the South Beach Wine and Food Festival (the new status of the chef as celebrity, she writes, further confuses me).
After all, this is a chef who scrubbed human shit off of the floor of her restaurants basement, and then disposed of a maggot-ridden rat, because she, unfortunately, wasnt capable of asking the porter to do it. And thats the beauty of this book, really in this age of celebrity restaurateurs being turned into bobble-head dolls and robotic reality-show judges, its refreshing to read the memoir of a chef who admits to being only human. Yes, you should absolutely preorder it, but be warned you may find yourself itching to open a restaurant.

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) is set to receive $48.25 million in General Excise and Use Tax (GET) revenue for the first quarter of 2012.
The new HART funds will bring total GET revenue received to date for the rail project to $858.73 million, about $8 million more than projected.
The $48.25 million in current quarterly revenue is slightly less than the $49.02 million in GET revenue received in the previous quarter, but overall revenue remains strong.
The state began collecting the half-percent GET dedicated to the Honolulu rail system in January 2007. The GET for rail is set to expire at the end of 2022.

[Rag & Bone]
Who wouldn't want to be a Rag & Bone girl? For aeons the denim world has been awash with cool, laid-back girls – the no-make up, terribly cool – even boyish - laid-back kind of girl. Rag & Bone D.I.Y.'s new face, in the form of model Julia Stegner is no exception but their new campaign takes the relaxed vibe to the next level.
[Rag & Bone]
The New York brand (British boys Marcus Wainwright and David Neville) straddles both the downtown denim world and upscale catwalk world of Manhattan-ite whites and sportsluxe looks. Their high-fashion flair provides an extra cool bent on their denim range 'Rag & Bone /JEAN' as does their new do-it-yourself campaign!
The R&B boys gave Julia Stegner a fab digital camera and a case of clothes and sent her to Costa Rica with her boyfriend. It sounds like it was a long, tough shoot! Julia said, 'we were there for three weeks so we'd just sporadically take the camera down to the beach.' Erm, can this be our job please? 'It is such a magical, inspiring place,' she continued. 'We went surfing every day, watched the monkeys in our garden, cooked and ate a lot of delicious food.' Yep – jealous much?
[Rag & Bone]
The pics speak for themselves, infused with spontaneity and some sexy beach sauntering. And it's the candour of the pics that make the pieces TRULY covetable. Can't be the girl? OK we'll buy the jeans… D.I.Y. indeed!
The jean-ius campaign idea was originally conceived back in Spring 2011 and has since seen array of super cool models sent on the same oh-so-difficult task, from beach-beauty Miranda Kerr, to Liu Wen, Bridget Hall, Abbey Lee Kershaw and one of our faves, Candice Swanepoel. They've all given their own personal touch to the photos.
Rag & Bone – please invite us next time! Haven't you seen how fab we are on Instagram?
