text: Note to Rubio, Ayotte: Obama Is Not Your Friend by Joel B. Pollak 10 Jun 2013 Share This: As Christian Toto noted recently, President Barack Obama has a funny way of rewarding Republicans who cross the aisle to work together with Democrats on his agenda: he campaigns against them. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) announced Sunday that she will support Obama's preferred immigration legislation, the "Gang of Eight" bill making its way through the Senate, co-sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). The next day, Obama's lobby group, Organizing for Action, declared that both Ayotte and Rubio were on its list of "climate deniers," and began targeting both of them: "Call these deniers out. Hold them accountable." Here, by the way, is the 100% scientifically defensible statement that caused Ayotte to be added to the list: Asked if she believed in climate change, she said, "there is scientific evidence that demonstrates there is some impact from human activities. However I don't think the evidence is conclusive." Not only is Obama anti-science; he's anti-compromise. This is why compromises are rare in Washington today. And, given Obama's hyper-partisan, para-parliamentary assaults, perhaps compromises ought to be rare.

November 25, 2014
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- A judge in the Bahamas has denied a request to lower the bail requirement for an ambulance driver accused of trying to extort $25 million from actor John Travolta following his son's death.
Tarino Lightbourne has been held since Jan. 23 on charges of attempted extortion and conspiracy to extort money from Travolta.
Magistrate Carolita Bethel refused Wednesday to reduce his $50,000 bail requirement.
Former senator Pleasant Bridgewater also has been charged with conspiracy in the alleged plot, but she is free on $50,000 bail.
The pair allegedly demanded money in exchange for suppressing a document related to the treatment of the celebrity's son, who died of a seizure last month at a family vacation home in Grand Bahama.

Holy Hip Hops Civil War
As well all know, hip hop is no stranger to war. A quick walk downtown and you face hundreds of fliers promoting hip hop battles of some sort or graffiti burners one-upping each other spread over the most visible areas. The top hip hop artists all have well known beefs with each other. Their songs are dedicated to it, their albums are dedicated to it, and seemingly most of the media attention in hip hop is over their beef or lyric wars. So, its not surprising that Holy Hip Hop is engaged in its own war. What is surprising, though, is what the war is over. Its not a war against spiritual powers and principalities, injustice, false teachings, or any other Biblical enemies; its a war between the Christian artists themselves; a civil war. Add a comment

S'Winter toolbox in world 1-4?
OK, I'm stuck in the S'Winter course. I have my whole vehicle constructed and 7 of the toolboxes. The last one is in world 1-4, my detector lets me see it. The problem is, how do I actually get to that toolbox?
Answer from: Gavinator2012
Right before world 2-4, go left onto the high platform, fix the yellow thing, and go across it. you will find a door that you fix with a key, the "abdominable snow platypus", and a big white hole. the hole leads to world 1-4.

St. Patrick's Day has a lot of Americans celebrating this weekend, but the holiday reminds a local Ireland native of home.
Irish music rings through Basil's halls and through Irish ears.
"My name in Gaelic is Shamish O'Dalig," Basil Restaurant Co-Owner James Daly said.
Daly said St. Patrick's Day has changed during the last 40 years.
"When I grew up in Ireland, St. Patrick's Day was a religious holiday," Daly said. "We didn't have the big parades. We didn't have the big parties. You go to church no matter what day it fell on, and you celebrate St. Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland."
Now he gets to celebrate his heritage in Ireland with nearly 50 other customers, patrons and friends from Central Wisconsin who signed up after he and his wife Tee Daly organized it.
"They think everyone is like me in Ireland, so they think it'll be a lot of fun," James said.
The Dalys organized the first trip to Ireland and Scotland two years ago, and about 30 people from the area came along.
"It's an eating and drinking trip," James said. "So we like to sample the Irish food because we are a restaurant. We don't turn down any whiskey or Guinness."
There's nearly 50 people booked for this July's trip, and James said they'll see castles, pubs and maybe the blarney stone.
"Now a lot of people kiss the blarney stone when they go," James said.
So while these Irish eyes may be smiling with the thought of sharing his Irish heritage with the people of Wisconsin, this Irish man will leave you with an Irish tune to keep in your heart this St. Patrick's Day.
"If you ever go to Ireland, there's a welcome on the mat ... if your name is Timoty or Pat!" James sang.
Basil of Weston also hosts Irish Fest which is set for the beginning of September.

How much is that hybrid in the window? Lexus displays at Harrods for the holidays

Looks like the Aston Martin Cygnet isn't the only luxed-up Toyota to go on display in the window at Harrod's this season. The Cygnet made its production debut there last month, and now Lexus is following suite with a holiday display of their own. The ground-level display takes up four windows of storefront. One features the new CT 200h, another the RX 450h, a third highlighting the Mark Levinson sound systems found in many a Lexus, and the fourth a Lexus Lounge, whatever the heck that means.

How farmers resisted GM wheat
The StarphoenixPublished: Thursday, July 25, 2013
Movements against food that's been genetically modified (GM) usually conjure up images of urban European protesters wearing bio-hazard suits or dressed as the grim reaper slashing these crops in unsuspecting farmers' fields.
Farmers, especially from the socalled First World, are not typical actors in the movement against GM crops, yet in 2001 a coalition of nine organizations led by prairie farmers stood up against Monsanto's plans to introduce Roundup Ready wheat in Canada.
In Growing Resistance, I analyze the diverse coalition of forces that successfully pressured Monsanto to withdraw its Roundup Ready (RR) wheat variety from the Canadian regulatory system in 2004.
I spent the better part of a year in 2006-07 travelling throughout the prairies to gather the information for this book. My fieldwork involved interviewing farmers and members of organizations that both supported and rejected RR wheat. Interviewing farmers was by far the most interesting for me. Although I grew up in Saskatchewan, farmers perceived me as an outsider. I used this outsider status to my advantage procuring detailed descriptions of the diversity of actors, positions and strategies pursued by the different coalition members. Indeed, the coalition's main strength was its diversity.
Mainstream prairie farmers found themselves working alongside their more radical organic counterparts and organizations like Greenpeace, famous for its civil disobedience. The farmers I interviewed talked about their uneasy alliance with groups like Greenpeace, whom many saw as urban radicals out of touch with rural prairie realities. Once the coalition had begun its work there was simply no constituency that Monsanto could point to as supportive of their attempts to introduce RR wheat into Canadian markets and farmers' fields.
I believe the story of this diverse coalition of farmers, environmentalists, and urbanites serves as an important example for other social justice campaigns. It has taught me that corporate power can be successfully challenged by coalitions of interest groups that incorporate very local and specific concerns into a wider discourse of opposition that draws on environmental and consumer activism. It seems to me that coalitions that cross urban/rural boundaries, and local and global concerns are our best hope for securing social change in the years to come.

Girls' books: ballet and horses and boarding schools, oh my!
A good friend of mine here in the
U.K. has taken on an insanely demanding job working as a manager for
the National Health Service. She isn't the type to complain — and
I think she does actually enjoy the work — but the stress and long hours
have had a notable effect on her leisure habits. When she watches TV,
she wants short, upbeat programs like Scrubs. When it comes to
online videos, she wants to watch hilariously cranky turtles
chasing cats. And when
it comes to reading, she wants to slip back into the literary equivalent
of comfort food: girls' books, and most particularly the girls'
books she read when she was growing up.
All this Anne-of-Green-Gablesing
has got me thinking about the girls' books I used to read as a kid. Here are some of my favorite examples of the most popular genres.
1. The Ballet and Stage School
At the risk of having my queer card
taken away, I have to admit that I loved these books. I went on dreaming
that I was going to be a ballerina long after I'd given up actual
ballet lessons. And I still love watching ballet, musicals and
contemporary dance, even if I've reluctantly come to realize that,
truthfully, I find standing by the barre for hours and doing exercises
a little boring.
The British writer Noel Streatfeild,
author of Ballet Shoes, is, obviously, one of the queens of this
genre. As an early teen, though, the ballet books that I loved (and
that my father relentlessly teased me for loving) were Jean Estoril's
Drina books.
If you've read this series — which
is eleven books long, and follows Drina Adams from her first ballet
lessons at age nine, to her triumphant debut as lead ballerina with a major
company, plus wedding at age 18 (which seems awfully young, in
retrospect, for such a major commitment) — you'll know that she dances
everywhere: in Exile, in Paris, in Italy, in Madeira, in New York, in
Switzerland. Yes, these books are schlocky. But in their defense, the
author was obviously a well-traveled woman who loved the places she
was writing about — and she did give me a long-standing taste for
travel, even if not for ballet classes.
If all this talk of ballet gives you a rash, though, there are always what might be called the
anti-ballet-book ballet books: Jahnna N. Malcolm's Bad News
Ballet series, about five girls who loathe the ballet classes they
are forced into, and who refer to their snobby, skinny, ballet-mad classmates
as "the Bunheads."
2. The Horse Books
No doubt Freud would have something
to say about the popularity of "pony books" for girls, but whatever
he had to say, I doubt it would apply to me. I was never actually that
interested in horses in and of themselves — which is just as well, since
my parents couldn't have afforded a pony if I'd wanted one. But
there were a few horse-themed books that I enjoyed. One was National
Velvet, which — besides being made into a film starring Elizabeth
Taylor — is actually a really good, genuinely literary novel, about
a strange, spacey girl called Velvet and her strong, silent mother
who once swam the English Channel.
The others were a series of nine
"Jill" books by Ruby Ferguson, about a girl called Jill and
her two ponies. I don't know if these books have ever been published
in America, but if they have, they probably seem hilariously bizarre
to American readers. Mostly written in the 1950s, they are very old-fashioned
and English: full of vicars, village fetes, horsey upper class people,
and "oh, I say, Mildred" heartiness and emotional repression. But
they are intentionally funny as well as unintentionally so, and I loved
3. The Boarding School Books
If you want really old-fashioned
English emotional repression, look no further than Enid Blyton's
Malory Towers and St. Clare's
books, all about the frightfully decent, sports-mad, strangely sexless
girls at a couple of English boarding schools in the 1940s.
According to Wikipedia, these books
have never really caught on in America — and I can't honestly say
I'm surprised — but they are hugely famous in England. Since Wikipedia
also informs me that Malory Towers has become notorious for its
lesbian subtext — to the point of earning a mention on Sugar Rush
— it's possible that I should go back and read them again.
Personally, though, I preferred the
endless number of Chalet School books by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer,
about the endless number of pupils at an international boarding school
in Austria in the first half of the 20th century. My memory of
these books has grown hazy with time, but I still remember something
about the pupils having to speak English on Monday, French on Tuesday,
and German on Wednesday. I also remember them doing lots of skiing,
and having a regularly scheduled break for for coffee and cakes, which
they Germanically referred to as "Kaffee und Kuchen." All of which
still seems to me indescribably awesome.
The girls' boarding school story
seems to be more of an English than an American genre. But there is
one American book I love: Susan Coolidge's ridiculously
brilliant What Katy Did at School, first published in 1873 and
in print ever since. Besides the fact that I am still in love with Rose
Red, there are all the chapters on secret societies, not to mention
the one where Katy and Clover receive a Christmas box from home filled
with parcels of lovingly described food: jumbles and ginger snaps and
crullers and frosted plum cake. Speaking of which, I am now hungry.
4. The Orphan/Family Books
By "orphan/family," I mean either books about
(often large) families that are already established, or books about
an orphan girl finding a family. Canada's L. M. Montgomery
is, of course, pretty much queen of the latter category, with her
Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon books, all of
which I read avidly.
A good modern example about a girl
searching for a home is Cynthia Voigt's 1981 story Homecoming,
which kicked off her Tillerman cycle, about tomboy Dicey trying to find
a place for her and her younger siblings to stay after their mother
abandons them.
In terms of books about established
families, I liked Sydney Taylor's All of a Kind Family
series, about five sisters growing up in a Lower East Side tenement
in New York at the beginning of the 20th century.
Once again, food seems to play a
disproportionately large part in my recollection of these books. Isn't
there a chapter in the first one full of smoked fish and frankfurters
and pickles and chickpeas, as the five girls accompany their mother
to market? Speaking of which, I am now hungrier.
Finally, of course, there was
Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby — whom Radar magazine
recently "outed"
as a childhood icon they were sure grew up into a lesbian — although
I have to say, young as I was, I don't remember getting that from
the books. Note to Radar magazine: Sometimes a bowl cut is just
a bowl cut. My best female friend in school had a bowl cut, and she
grew up to be a raving heterosexual. I had (and still have) long hair,
and … well … look at me.
5. The Adventure/Pioneer Girl
Americans rule this category. In
England, we have the omnipresent Enid Blyton's stories about the Famous
Five — one of whose members is the proto-transgender George — but their
adventures mostly consisted of highly improbable things like discovering
smuggled treasure. When it comes to pioneering in the U.K., well, you
can "pioneer" your way from one leafy village to another, I suppose,
but it's not exactly going to be highly exciting. Americans, on the other hand,
have Laura Ingalls Wilder — whose youthful adventures, as I recollect
them, involve cyclone cellars, wheels of fire, plagues of locusts, malaria
and running with some wild ponies. Bring it on, Laura.
Are there genres or favorite books
of yours that I've left out? Let me know in the comments.

About Steve Banks
Fabiola and I bought the house when we stood on the plot and saw the view. We liked the style of development as we had previously bought a similar designed house from the same developer a few years before. The development was started in 2005 and our house was in the first phase to be built, we proudly took ownership, new, in 2008. We watched and waited 3 years for her to be built.
We spend a lot of time at the house ourselves as we love the town and all of the continuing activities that Sitges stands for and organises.
Festivals, Film Week, Carnivals, Bands, museums, surfing, boating, eating out in tapas bars and restaurants, clubs.....the list is endless.
Steve Banks purchased this villa in 2007
Why Steve Banks chose Sitges Town
It is UNIQUE!
We love the fun of Sitges as a town.The villa is set up in the hills, slightly away from the noisy town. As we said, we like to get involved in all that is going on in Sitges, but its also really great to get away from it aswell and relax and rest up on the hill after the party is over!
Our houses offer the tranquility of the Garraf, yet the view keeps you in touch with the town.
Our house is still like new, but better really because we have added to it and improved all of the accomodation over the last 5 years.
Because it is modern, the living space is airy and open. The breeze flows through the house and gives a lovely fresh feeling day and night.
What makes this villa unique

(Updates with details of discussions in second paragraph.)
Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Williams Cos. asked Energy Transfer Equity LP if it would sell some of Southern Union Co.'s pipelines after Energy Transfer buys Southern Union later this year.
Williams Chief Executive Officer Alan Armstrong e-mailed Energy Transfer CEO Kelcy Warren on Sept. 2, asking if the companies could discuss some of Southern Union's assets. Williams was interested in Southern Union's Citrus Corp. subsidiary, which owns 50 percent of the Florida Gas Transmission Co., along with the Trunkline system that runs from the Gulf of Mexico to Michigan, and the Panhandle system that runs from Texas and Oklahoma to the Midwest, according to a filing from Energy Transfer today.
The Southern Union board agreed to allow the discussions on Sept. 5. The two companies ended the talks Oct. 9 after they were "unable to reach an agreement," the filing said.
Williams and Energy Transfer have been competing to buy Houston-based Southern Union since June. Energy Transfer has increased its offer twice to outbid Williams, most recently to $5.1 billion. A date for a shareholder vote has not been released. The transaction would be the largest purchase of a pipeline company in the U.S. this year, according to Bloomberg data.
Jeff Pounds, a spokesman for Williams in Tulsa, Oklahoma, said the company would not comment. Vicki Anderson Granado, a spokeswoman for Dallas-based Energy Transfer, said the company would not comment beyond the filing.

Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia Attendance: 35,164
Rangers-Nationals Preview
Texas Rangers at Washington Nationals
- The Rangers and Nationals will meet today for just the 10th time ever, with three of those games coming when the Nationals were still known as the Expos. Since 2005, Washington is 46-36 (.561) at home in interleague play, the third best home record in interleague games in the National League since then.
- With their victory yesterday against the Twins, the Rangers are now 6-2 on their current 11-game road trip, and are batting .368 with runners in scoring position during the first eight games of the trip.
- After batting .143 entering Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Nate McLouth went 4-for-4 with three singles and a double. It was McLouth's fourth career four-hit game, but just his second multi-hit game of the season.
- In his career against the Nationals/Expos, Adrian Beltre has hit .359 and slugged .608 with 11 home runs and 33 RBI. Beltre has recorded at least one hit in 20 of his last 21 games against the Nationals/Expos.
- In nine career starts in interleague play, Stephen Strasburg is 5-3 (.625) with a 2.65 ERA and has struck out 12.75 batters per nine innings, the highest rate among active pitchers with at least nine interleague starts.
- Colby Lewis is 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA in four road starts this season, compared to 1-3 with a 7.52 ERA in four home starts this season. Since the 2010 season, Lewis has a 3.61 ERA on the road compared to a 4.51 ERA at home.

By JORDAN GARRETSON
(AP) -- After struggling recently with runners in scoring position, the Washington Nationals came through in a big way in Friday's series opener against the Texas Rangers.
They're hoping that success helps them bring a more relaxed approach to the batter's box as they seek a second straight win for the first time in two weeks Saturday.
The Nationals (26-27) won for the second time in eight games with Friday night's 9-2 victory. They tallied 15 hits for the second straight contest, but unlike Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Miami, they capitalized with runners in scoring position. Washington was 4 for 12 after going 7 for 55 and stranding 64 runners in its previous seven games.
Perhaps the Nationals, who scored more than five runs for just the fourth time in 25 games, will find themselves pressing less at the plate.
"When we're rolling, there's a lot less pressure in those situations. You're not as concerned about it," first baseman Adam LaRoche told the team's official website. "You know we're going to have more opportunities. You know that if you don't get it done, the guy behind you will get it done.
"When you're not, when you're up there at the plate knowing that this may be our only opportunity to score, it absolutely makes it tougher."
Ian Desmond hit a three-run homer, while Jayson Werth had three hits and is 8 for 20 over his last four games.
Washington might need another big performance with Doug Fister (2-1, 3.42 ERA) on the mound, given his struggles against Texas. Fister defeated the Rangers the last time he saw them, yielding two runs over six innings in a 7-2 victory with Detroit on July 12, but he was 2-4 with a 6.00 ERA in his first eight matchups.
Since giving up five earned runs over 4 1-3 innings in his season debut May 9, Fister has a 1.86 ERA in three outings.
Adrian Beltre, batting .432 over his last 11 games after going 3 for 4 on Friday, is 8 for 20 off Fister. Alex Rios, who is 10 for 19 against the right-hander, had a 12-game hitting streak snapped in the opener.
The Rangers (28-27) had won seven of nine prior to Friday's defeat and allowed 10 runs over their previous four.
"Just because the offense wasn't going for a while doesn't mean that (the Nationals) don't have offense," manager Ron Washington said. "Any given night, anything can happen, and tonight they swung the bats."
The Rangers hope Nick Tepesch (2-0, 2.95) can continue to improve after recording the first consecutive wins of his career. The right-hander allowed two runs over 6 2-3 innings of a 7-2 victory at Minnesota on Monday.
"He's shown these three starts what he's capable of doing," Washington said of Tepesch, who was recalled from Triple-A on May 14. "But you can't hang your hat on a couple of outings. If he's around here healthy, he's going to get many outings. I just want him to be consistent."
Tepesch was 0-1 with a 5.93 ERA in three interleague starts as a rookie last season.

Looking for a restaurant with great desserts
- j
- jeffrey7471 Nov 6, 2006 08:33 AM
Love desserts, but I'm often let down at the end of a meal
any suggestions?
The desserts at Grace are faaaaaantastic. If you're dining in the area, swing by after your meal.
(Of course, everything is good at Grace, including the desserts.)
What kind of desserts, chocolate cake, cobblers, cup cakes & rice puddings or a more refined, like chocolate silk chiffon explosion, pinapple coconut brule, etc.? I like the more rustic comfort food type.
SauceSupreme thanks for the info and burgerboy I love it all
The lava cake's the carrrot cake's a great brule. The cobblers
only if the fruit is just right not picked before it had time to ripen. To many time chef just add surgar like that will be the same. Just love most desserts
On the low-end of the price scale, I like the pies (with ice cream if possible) at PIE N BURGER (www.pienburger.com ).
On the high-end, I enjoy the the desserts at Water Grill (www.watergrill.com ), even after the departure of their pastry chef, Duncan Koa.
re: Clare K
is it possible to stop in late night just for coffee and desserts? i'd love to try but grace isn't exactly in my price range...
re: amandine
Late night dessert options: Kate Mattelini (Apple Pie) or Urrth Cafe (multiple locations)
re: tatertots
oh urrth... i was there last night. how i love that place!!
re: amandine
You can sit at the bar and just have dessert. I've done that a few times. They are open until 11 p.m. Tue-Thur, and midnight on Fri-Sat. In fact, it might be the best time to go around 10:30ish so it isn't as crowded.
Providence exceptional deserts. There is a desert-tasting menu and while I haven't tried it, it looks incredible.
I think it is about $35 which sounds like a lot but given the creativity on display - probably well worth it.
Blair's in Silverlake has amazing desserts..homemade beignets...my favorite is their fancy version of a smore...dark chocolate cake topped with honey ice cream, a dusting of graham crackers and a warm marshmallow top. Extra grahams are served on the side, my friends and I always demolish that one.
Literati II for the churros. Jar for the chocolate pudding. I love Houston's key lime pie. Jack and Jill has great chocolate chip cookies.
OBar on Santa Monica in WeHo. After 10, you can come in just for dessert. Great food and bar, too.

Here is a segment of a LIFE Leadership talk I gave in Texas on the importance of business owners moving beyond relationship marketing and into friendship branding. A company can serve a customer, but the best service is when friends serve friends. Thus, the reason why every business ought to move from treating customers as customers and start treating them as you would a friend.
In a sense, they are your business's best friend and should be teated accordingly. Can you give an example where a business person treated you beyond just a customer and treated you as a friend?

Artists who submitted designs for the state's new Michigan Heirloom Birth Certificate are about to find out which designs have been chosen as the best.
The Children's Trust Fund of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Community Health plan to unveil the winning designs during a Capitol ceremony at 2 p.m. Wednesday. The winning artists will each be awarded a $750 cash prize.
The Heirloom Birth Certificate is intended to be a permanent memento for anyone born in Michigan, although it's not an official birth record. The keepsake will showcase the individual's name, date of birth, place of birth and the parents' names.
A portion of the proceeds raised from sale of the special certificates will go to the Children's Trust Fund to help prevent child abuse and neglect.
