Flowers As Children..as Flowers.
So the flower sat on the table waiting for good soil and a refreshing relocation. I just ignored it.
I was going into the kitchen to retrieve cookies from the oven when I noticed the Daisy on the table.
Oh my gosh, I thought, I have forgotten to water that poor plant and it's looking a bit pale.
I picked it up and set it on the sink... then I got the cookies out of the oven, put some more in, set the timer for another ten minutes, ate some cookie dough and walked back to the sink.
That's when I noticed the OTHER FLOWER IN THE POT.
I lifted up the container and took a closer look. Thinking that this odd flower was really two flowers pushed together, I check the stem.
but it was born different, somehow attached, and not very happy about it. I watered the plant immediately and set the pot down in the sink to drain.
Poor thing. No wonder you're are so upset. You expected to stand on your own with a gorgeous array of petals, only to find another flower attached to your stem....vying for attention too.
It's true. You are different.. but you are interesting and unusual. Each flower has it's own personality. Be who you are: A magnificent anomaly.
One flower turns out "perfect".... What is perfect anyway? I'm partial to imperfection.
Another is born "different".... troublesome, not as easy to get along with. But it's just as worthy.
It's still a perennial. It is of the same family as its siblings. Its petals might be brighter, noisier... you can feel the intensity of its personality. It's just a different "hybrid" soul.
Each flower is unique.... one of a kind.
We need to love them all, even if they are a little more difficult to grow.
Think how we started. We were all new and unformed. Life was filled with possibilities.
Imagine you're a beginner... always a beginner, and have strength... and bloom.
Gerbera jamesonii.... the Transvaal Daisy:
Just give them partial shade and regular watering and they will thrive.

I'm partial to the perfection in imperfection, also. I love the soft coral color, although the strange little flower may have been a bit judgmental....
I have often felt that flowers, plants and trees have "spoken" to me.
Are you familiar with Findhorn? I thought of that in this post and the conversation you would like to have with Leonora Carrington's sculptural deer. The awareness, even consciousness, of all things.
To magnificent anomolies. May they always inform and enlighten us.

I thought the different dahlia was winking! It doesn't look at all angry to me. I think it's enjoying the attention its difference brings. I would too if I were that cute!

Boy if that gerb could speak! "Get yer fingers out of that cookie dough, farmlady, and help me out here! I've got enough trouble with this extra head on my shoulder!" I love the look of that intense looking oddball! How perfect it was for the days you've been having...see? it's all good!

I think it's perfect... but maybe because I celebrate imperfection and the ability to 'stand out from the crowd'.
But when I looked closely, it almost looks like 2 beautiful flowers holding each other "cheek to cheek" and just relishing the companionship and closeness.
Either that, or somebody is mighty cranky about you not sharing the cookie dough... ;)

(Updates with Palestinian reaction in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair fell short of his goal of bringing Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table.
Blair and other representatives of the so-called Quartet of international mediators, who held separate meetings with the two sides in Jerusalem yesterday, persuaded them only to present new proposals on the issues of security and territory within three months aimed at trying to revive talks, according to a Quartet statement issued today.
"Both parties expressed their readiness to engage with the Quartet, on the basis of its Sept. 23 statement, to overcome the current obstacles and resume direct bilateral negotiations without delay or preconditions," it said.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat reiterated that talks could not take place unless Israel freezes all settlement construction, a condition the Israelis have ruled out. "We have agreed to meet again" with the Quartet representatives, though no date has been set, he said by phone today.
Israeli negotiator Yitzhak Molcho said after the meeting yesterday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ready to start direct talks immediately "with no preconditions."
In its Sept. 23 statement, the Quartet, representing the U.S., the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, said it hoped to bring Israelis and Palestinians together for at least a preparatory meeting within a month to arrange direct peace negotiations. Talks broke down more than a year ago over the issue of a settlement freeze.
The Quartet proposal calls on Israel and the Palestinians to resume talks with an aim of reaching a comprehensive solution to the conflict by the end of 2012.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman yesterday called Abbas "the biggest obstacle to peace" in an Israel Radio interview and said that his resignation "would be a blessing."
Blair and his colleagues requested in yesterday's meetings that the two sides "refrain from provocative actions if negotiations are to be effective," according to the Quartet statement. It said the Quartet envoys would meet regularly with the two sides over the next 90 days.

Brandi Glanville on Adrienne Maloof Plastic Surgery: Discount Rate Special!by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Looks like the simmering feud between The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars Adrienne Maloof and Brandi Glanville is heating up once again.
After Monday night's episode, Brandi took to her Bravo blog out to call out Adrienne over various issue, namely those pertaining to plastic surgery.
Brandi took umbrage with Adrienne repeatedly saying her (then) husband Paul Nassif could have done a better job on Kim Richards' new nose job.
"That's an insult to not just to the doctor but also to Kim," Brandi Glanville wrote. "I really found Adrienne's comments to be in extremely poor taste."
"She then later tried to poorly recover from her rude comments."
Adrienne Maloof's next offense, according to Brandi, was claiming that Brandi "didn't have the money for anything but plastic surgery" on camera.
Glanville said was untrue - her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian paid for her vaginal reconstruction - then turned it around on Maloof as only Brandi can:
"If anyone shouldn't be talking plastic surgery it's Adrienne ... clearly she has had more than all of us combined and is either getting it for free or at a discounted rate."
Brandi says this "shows in the work."
Finally, Brandi ripped Adrienne for staining Lisa Vanderpump's couch with tanner, the second time Lisa said Adrienne ruined a piece of her furniture.
"Rather then apologize or offer to reimburse Lisa for ruining her furniture, she just shrugs it off as any rich entitled person without a conscience would," she wrote.
"It's Adrienne's world and we are all just lucky to be there."
DAAAAAAANG. Adrienne, you have just been served.
Adrianne is headed for a big crash and burn i think..
Kyle and Kim best steer clear if they hope to manage any sort of a comeback for themselves. OH .. and best distance from Faye while you are at it.. what a mess!!!!
Firstly, a Cease & Desist letter IS a clear threat of litigation. Receipt of such a letter requires a carefully legally researched response from a litigation team, the official response, possible draft of counter suit, and trial plan. It's quite obvious Adrienne lied to her husband about ordering their attorneys to mail the threat of litigation to Glanville. She cagily shrugs and responds, "she has never seen a letter". It is also obvious that Paul, Adrienne's former husband, was unaware that Adrienne and her employee, Bernie, were selling lies about Glanville to be published in the tabloids. A horrific practice at anytime, unconscionable during Glanville's custody issues, i.e., planting allegations that Glanville was an unfit mother and an addict. Paul has since divorced Adrienne and is suing Bernie for exactly what Brandi contends and proves via documentation on this episode. Paul has also PUBLICLY apologized to Brandi and sought both her forgiveness and friendship. Brandi's book? No. 2 on Amazon Bestseller List
Agreed! Amazing to me how so many viewers said that it was Brandi's fault to waste her money on an attorney. Similar to what Mo said to Brandi, "Just pick up the phone and call her!" When you receive a letter from an attorney, they will only speak to your attorney, NOT to you. Such ignorance from the viewers on how the legal system works, especially on how it depletes up your life savings.
..........a splendid job here, hahahahahahaha.

Freezing Guacamole?
- a
- a&w Jan 16, 2006 02:02 PM
I assume it's fine to freeze fresh guacamole? How long does it keep? Any tips on how to defrost?
re: Christine
I'm with you. I tried to carefully freeze it once to see what would happen, and the texture when it defrosted was terrible. Eat it now or toss it.
It can be done, if necessary...squeeze some extra lime or lemon juice over the top, and seal it in a double thick freezer bag with as little space and air as possible. I wouldn't keep it more than a month or so, if that long...not because it'll go "bad" but its texture will suffer over time. I would defrost it overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
I have had success using my vacu-sealer. I got the idea when I bought some prepackage guac from TJ's. The key is extra lime/lemon juice and to squeeze out any air pockets before using the vacu-sealer so that you can truly get all the air out. I personally would use it within 2 month.
I have also had success freezing peeled avocado halves. Toss in lime/lemon juice place on cookie sheet and put in freezer to almost frozen. Put in bag and vacu-seal as usual or place in Ziploc bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Good for making a quick batch of guac!
I had an avocado tree that produced 250 creamy/delicious avocados...in November/December! (That's not a time of year when I'm really the mood for guacamole.)
I used to put my guacamole in containers, top it with lemon juice and freeze it. It just never tasted the same after being frozen--went from creamy to a fluffy/odd texture--just not very tasty IMO.
I would say that it is not going to be great when you take it out of the freezer.
For me, guac is just something you make if you have the fresh ingridients on hand. The frozen stuff (either store bought or from your own freezer) is not what you are looking for.
Anoter option ist to buy it frozen, have a look to www.avocados.es , here you can see the products avocado pulp and guacamole frozen, the best option is to left the experts do the frozen guacamole, then you have a very good quality from frozen avocado and frozen guacamole.
I recently froze my homemade guacamole for the first time ever. I placed it in a ziploc bag and squeezed all the air out before sealing. It turned out great! (eating it now). It was made from two avocados and had a half a lemon squeezed in. Try a small bit for yourself to see if you like it! Better than throwing it out.

Photos and Description of this 5 bedroom holiday home in Montopoli Val d'Arno - 30 Via Caravaggio, CDB
5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, sleeps 11

Our house is the perfect place for a group to gather and relax in the heart of Tuscany. With spacious and comfortable rooms and a location that provides easy access to all of Tuscany's best attractions, you will have everything you need for an unforgettable trip.
Unlike many old Italian homes which can be small and cramped, our newly built house was designed for comfort with a large group in mind. Piano Giorno (the 'day' floor), is one great room consisting of the living area, dining room and kitchen. The extra large french doors reveal beautiful views and allow you to enjoy the Tuscan country side without leaving the house. It makes the perfect setting for a group to gather, cook, dine, and talk all while enjoying the beauty of Tuscany.
The location of the houses provides a great staging point to see the best of what Tuscany has to offer. The village is located centrally to some of the best sites in Tuscany. Florence (34 miles), Pisa (19 miles), Lucca (20 miles), San Gimignano (31 miles), Volterra (28 miles), the beach at Viareggio (39 miles) and the Chianti wine region (48 miles) all can be reached in under an hour by car.
Getting to the Property: We recommend that people rent a car while staying with us to see the most of Tuscany. Our place is easily accessible from both the Pisa (30 mins) and Florence (45 mins) airport. However you can also make it work with no car. You can arrive at the nearby train station of San Romano or Pontedera and take a taxi or bus 10 mins to our place.
In addition to the comfortable interior, the house has 3 balconies and a patio area for enjoyment of the outdoors. It is decorated in traditional Tuscan style but with all of the modern amenities.
The house is a newly built attached home, completed in 2008. The house is part of a new housing development in the village.

About Max & John
Check us out on Facebook for more info - www.facebook.com/vistaitaly
This property is owned by two cousins Max and John. We are happy to answer any questions you have. We are looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our home!
Max & John purchased this house in 2007
Why Max & John chose Montopoli Val d'Arno
Castel Del Bosco is the village in which my father (Fabrizio) grew up. I, along with my cousin, decided to purchase the house here to keep a connection to Italy. This house was constructed in 2007 and we have been the only owners. We use the house primarily for getting together with our families and friends. We also rent the place sparingly to guests throughout the year. We built this house because we wanted a place that we could comfortably allow for large group gathering. Most traditional Italian homes have small, narrow rooms which can feel claustrophobic when more than a few people are inside. Our home has a wide open floor plan and can easily accommodate groups over 10. The house's close proximity to the highway, train station, and to the Pisa airport was also another major factor for choosing this particular place. One can easily get to and from the house as the travel around the countryside and beyond.
What makes this house unique
Our home resides in the historic Tuscan village of Castel Del Bosco a part of Montopoli in Val d'Arno in the Province of Pisa. Within walking distance there is an amazing local pizza parlor as well as a small convenience store for the bare necessities and a bus stop. In the neighboring town, you can take a short drive or bus ride, to a full supermarket (10 mins) and bank (5 mins). There is also a major train stop within a 15 min drive in the neighboring town of Pontedera. From this station you have direct access to Florence and Pisa central stations, no switching of trains needed. The location of the house provides a great staging point to see the best of what Tuscany has to offer. The village is located centrally to some of the best sites in Tuscany. Florence (34 miles), Pisa (19 miles), Lucca (20 miles), San Gimignano (31 miles), Volterra (28 miles), the beach at Viareggio (39 miles) and the Chianti wine region (48 miles) all can be reached in under an hour by car.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a great time traveling through Europe. The trip in Italy was by far the highlight of the 2 weeks. Your house is unbelievable and I cannot wait to bring my wife and daughters here next year to see it. Thanks again it could not have been any better.

MCC has 100 different metrics relating to clinical trials, from timeliness and cycle time metrics to quality, efficiency and cost metrics. This month, let's look at a valuable cost metric: percent variance from budget. This particular MCC metric has been developed for Imaging Core Labs, but can easily be applied to any internal, outsourced or vendor situation.
Why this metric is important: Ideally, sponsor and supplier should actively manage the budget, ensuring that actuals match the initial forecast at the end of the contract. This means tracking actuals against forecasted contract budget and "reforecasting" as needed based on usage or when study events require it (e.g. increase in enrollment or change in scope). The goal is to avoid simply adding to the budget when there is a change in scope, but instead find ways to meet budget constraints despite the changing landscape. Suppliers will be more able to accurately project revenue and sponsors will be able to readjust budgets and reallocate spend if the actual spend vs forecast is constantly tracked. This requires support from both the sponsor's and supplier's finance and project management groups to track, evaluate, reconcile, and then reforecast based on study information. Success also requires support from the sponsor in terms of timely reforecasting and information dissemination to the supplier.
Definition: Percent budget variance is the percent difference between the current actual spend and the current contracted value (including change orders and pass through costs) during the life of a project and at the completion of the contract. The variance as calculated here can be either positive or negative.
How to calculate this metric: The formula is simply the % variation of actuals vs. the current contracted budget upon completion of the study. However, the calculation is a bit more complex. At any given point, the actual cost projected to the end of the contract must be compared to the latest budget, including all contracts, amendments and out-of-scope items agreed upon to date. To do this, on a quarterly basis:
The variance should be measured at least quarterly (monthly is better for identifying incipient problems that will create big variances later) and then at contract end. A variance of <5% is Optimal, while a variance of 5-10% is Satisfactory.
What you need in order to measure this: You need the following three things at the end of each quarter: the total actual billings to date, a current forecast of the projected actuals to the end of the project, and a current budget forecast to the end of the contract, including the original contract, amendments and out-of-scope items agreed upon to date.
What makes performance on this metric hard to achieve: This metric has two difficult aspects: your contracts, finance and project management groups have to be on top of the contract, updating forecasts and actuals on a regular basis, and sponsor and supplier have to maintain good communications and cooperation so that both parties are aware of all the current factors that could result in contract changes and amendments as well as potential overruns and ways to manage the underlying problems.
Things that you can do to improve performance: Once you are tracking the cost variance, regular measurement and tracking will allow both organizations to quickly see when the work is deviating from forecast and take corrective action. This in turn allows project mangers to implement early, corrective actions and risk mitigation plans that can bring actual costs back into line with forecasts. Hence, regular reviews of this metric by project managers can lead to much more effective and accurate forecasting and execution.
Companion metrics: Other metrics that you should consider in tandem with this metric include: (1) Schedule Compliance Metrics and (2) Quality Metrics. Schedule compliance metrics ensure that your actuals aren't looking good simply because the actual work is lagging the forecasted work. Quality metrics ensure that budgets are not being met by compromising quality.
Example: In the graph below, we've plotted % variance as a function of contract month. During the first three months, actuals track exactly to budget. However, starting in Month four we see a startling growth in actuals vs budget, rising to a 15% variance (overrun) by Month six. Projections by project management and finance show continued growth in the variance to 22% and then remaining flat to the end of the contract. Project management at the imaging core lab has been watching this growth and communicating to sponsor project managers, who have traced the variance growth to an amendment that is driving more reads by the vendor than anticipated. A contract amendment in Month six remedies this and the variance resets to zero. However, in Month 10 the variance begins to grow again and is expected to reach 15% by the end of the contract. This spurs managers in both organizations to re-examine the number of reads to determine the cause of the variance.

Big Red Report's Minnesota at Nebraska PreviewPresented by: Wahoo's
Click HERE for Dining Review in Lincoln
By: Josh Harvey
November 16th, 2012
Game Headlines:
* Nebraska looks to stay atop of the Legends Division.
* The Huskers look to make it five straight after losing to Ohio State on the road.
* Nebraska beat Minnesota, 41-14 last year.
* Husker running back Rex Burkhead is questionable with a MCL sprain.
* Saturday is Nebraska Senior Day and will mark the first full class Bo Pelini recruited.
This video is owned by Huskers.com, for more like it, CLICK HERE
Associated Press Overview:
Head Coach: Jerry Kill
KEY MATCHUP: Nebraska defensive line vs. Minnesota offensive line. The Huskers lead the Big Ten with 27 sacks and will want to put lots of heat on freshman QB Philip Nelson. Nobody has had much luck stopping DE Eric Martin, who has a conference-leading 7 1/2 sacks. The Gophers have health issues up front. They'll start converted guard Zac Epping at center after Jon Christenson and Zach Mottla went out with injuries. The left side of their line, anchored by Ed and Tommy Olson, is banged up.
Minnesota: WR A.J. Barker leads the Gophers with 30 catches for 577 yards and seven touchdowns. Barker has been out with an ankle injury, and it isn't known how much he'll play against Nebraska, if at all. The Gophers' passing attack desperately needs this playmaker in the lineup.
Nebraska: RB Ameer Abdullah is poised to go over 1,000 yards for the season and is the first Nebraska back since 1994 to run for 100-plus yards in his first five starts. The Huskers lead the Big Ten in rushing and will be looking to ram the ball right at the Gophers.
FACTS & FIGURES: Minnesota is going for a second straight Big Ten road win for the first time since 2008. ... Nelson is 2-2 as a starter, has passed for 615 yards and six TDs and has thrown 67 passes without an interception. ... Nebraska has won 15 straight against the Gophers since 1963. ... The game marks the 500th game in which Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne will be in an official role. Osborne was an assistant coach (1962-72) and Hall-of-Fame head coach (1973-97) and AD since 2007. Osborne is retiring Jan. 1. ... The Huskers will salute 29 players on senior day. ... With a win, the Huskers would go unbeaten at home for the first time since 2003. - Associated Press
Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini presser
On the senior class and how special it is to him
"It's a special group of guys. Obviously it means a lot to me. It's hard to believe that this is their last go around in Memorial Stadium. It's a special group of guys, and it was a class that some of them are fifth-year guys and some are fourth-year guys and like you said, I've recruited them all and brought them here under some tough situations. I kind of put that class together quickly in a short amount of time, and I think they have accomplished a lot. It's a tremendous group of kids not just as football players but more importantly as kids how they have represented this program, and what they have done off the field as much as they have done on the field. It will be an emotional day I'm sure for them, big time."
On how having a large number of fifth-year players has helped the program
On what he sold to recruits with limited time after he was hired
On a lot of the seniors being native Nebraskans and the importance of the walk-on program
On what he told players who had committed to the previous coaching staff
On how bad Rex Burkhead wants to be out there for Senior Day
On weighing getting Burkhead back onto the field for future NFL exposure
On how Ameer Abdullah is holding up and if he expected him to carry the ball 31 times last week
On if the staff has given Taylor Martinez more of a green light to run free than he had last season
On Burkhead being a leader on the sideline by helping the other running backs
On when he noticed the improved leadership on this year's team
On what he contributes to strong finishes by his teams (14-4 record in November)
On if the defense grows and gets better at the end of every year
On the possibility of putting two punt returners back to field punts instead of just one
On if the team can taste that Big Ten Championship Game
On what he has seen from Minnesota and the improvements the Golden Gophers have made from a year ago
On if he has enough tape to evaluate Minnesota's new quarterback Philip Nelson
On what type of progress he wants to see from his team this week
On if he thinks the controversial fumble in the Penn State was the correct call
On what he has learned from this senior class
On if he asks for more feedback from players now than he did earlier in his career
On if his practice of not making promises has become a rarity in college football recruiting
On if he expects anything different from his team going into the last two games
Big Red Report Prediction:
Nebraska 34...Minnesota 13 (Harvey)
*** Nebraska might make this a game in the first quarter, they always seem to do, but in the end Minnesota doesn't have the firepower to stay with Nebraska for an entire contest. The Gophers will be forced to go to the air after getting behind by a few scores and Nebraska's 2nd ranked pass defense will take over. Expect a very confused Minnesota freshman quarterback on Saturday.

must-eats for an American in Paris?
For months I've been proudly telling my husband I can't wait to eat my way through Paris. But now that our trip is approaching, I'm confronted with a question--what should I eat? I'd be happy for any specific recs, like kinds of cheeses, entrees I can't get elsewhere and shouldn't miss, snacks or candies I should look for in the markets, etc.
Thanks lots.
The list would be exhaustive, but start with croissants from Kayser and macarons from Herme.
re: ChefJune
I live in the southeast US. If someone were visiting here, I would try to get them good fried chicken, barbecue, grits, fresh seafood, and locally brewed beers. Shopwinedinefine hit the nail on the head--Parisian foods and where I should find them. Or if I were to head to a market to buy a picnic dinner, what should I be sure to include? I'm willing to try anything.
Thanks very much.
re: sarahew1
Well I am in the Northeast US and I crave in no particular order:
Bresse chicken
Terrines at Chez George
In season ( which I don't believe is now) asparagus
Veal stew at Au Bascou
Robuchon potatoes ( think bathing in butter)
Anything with eggs or veal at Au Petit Tonneau ( esp eggs and mushrooms )
And many of the red wines that u will never see here...I'm hungry now
re: sarahew1
I am not certain you can condense hundreds of years of culinary history, in a nation that is fanatical about high quality food into a short "must eats" list. Two pieces of advice. First read the board to get a feel for some good restaurants, shops and markets, then let your senses lead you to what is good. It will change from season to season so the "must eats" will be quite obvious as you look around.
Secondly, avoid tourist traps and "cheap" places. There is good value in Paris, especially for the quality, but there is also a lot of rubbish so read the board.
Depends on how crazy you are. For me, bread is one of the 'bombs', go to a different boulangerie every day for bread. Throw most out as how much can you eat, but over the multiple months l am in Paris, it is a hell of a lot of boulangeries. Following year, same thing, some repeats, but as many new as can find. Same with Fromage, same with veggie stands, etc. Each time find many things new and wonderful. As Phil D says, not what we say, but what you like. Explore, learn, that is why l come. But if only one thing, and this is very difficult, it would be the hot chocolate at Steiger-Constantin on Rue Capucines, not Blvd Capucines. Little old lady makes each cup by hand, and as soon as l unpack, there is where l go. For me, it is Paris. Pintade, boudin noir, and Orangina light are up there as well.
re: Delucacheesemonger
I've been putting together a list for our trip in April. Maybe this will help you. You'll keep reading about places for macarons, croissants, and bread, chocolates, and cheese. Pierre Herme, Laduree, Gerard Mulot, Poilane are all places we plan to stop by. Here's two blogs that are fun and helpful. One is by Dorrie Greenspan, the other David Rosengarten.
re: DaisyM
If you want Poilane, for a change try the location not on Rue Cherche-Midi. The other location is just by the Dupleix metro stop and 100 yards from the main cheese shop of Laurant Dubois, for me the best in Paris. Thus you can do both at the same time.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Lionel Poilane, by Dupleix? Not Max? I didn't know. Max's just as good anyway.
re: souphie
Actually, for once l am correct, Lionel has another store at 49 Blvd Grenelle, 75015,about 100 yards from Dupleix stop. Sorry, thought Max's bread was not good, not my style of crust,l guess, went there twice some years back and never returned.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Thanks for the tip. I suppose all depends what kind of bread you're talking about. No one is good for everything. For Lionel, I only like his pain de mie. Speaking of which, the bakery at 100, rue du théatre, which is overal good, has an extraordinary genuine pain au levain, with the taste of truth.
re: souphie
Thanks, will try on return. Agree like only his large standard 'compagne' type loaf.
Pierre Herme macaroons on R. Bonaparte up in the 6th is a must! If there's a line out the door... so be it!
Hot chocolate at Angelina's on rue Rivoli
Breakfast at Fauchon
Entrecote at Entrecote (many locations)
anything at Le Bistrot Paul Bert
Oysters at La Coupole
Cafe de Flore
I miss the following when I am away from Paris:
1. Any cheese made with raw milk particularly good camembert and pont l'eveque.
2. Sandwich grec with frites on the sandwich with both harissa and tsasiki sauces.
3. Dishes made with pigs feet, kidneys, veal cheeks and tripe.
4. The wines in my cave.
5. Oysters from the market.
6. Big, fresh scallops with the coral still attached.
7. Good bread at many places all the time.
I used to miss the free range chickens of various types, but I spend most of my time close to Bourg en Bresse where the best poultry in the world comes from so I'm OK.
Weird list eh?

US and UK unveil failing banks plan
Writing in the Financial Times, Martin Gruenberg, chairman of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank of England, say this represents the first concrete steps to end the "too big to fail" problem of large international banks.
With Mr Tucker leading international efforts to devise emergency resolution plans, the US-UK template for their 12 large international banks will be a template for the 16 systemically important banks (GSifis) based in other countries.

Google blasts Web bots: PC big culprit in drive by downloads
Summary: Google Blasts Web Bots: PC is Culprit in Drive by Downloads
As more users are connected to the Internet and conduct their daily activities electronically, computer users have become the target of an underground economy that infects hosts with malware or adware for financial gain, so laments Niels Provos, Google Software Engineer.
Provos chaired a Google sponsored research forum on Botnets last month in conjunction with the Advanced Computing Systems Association.
Provos himself is leading Google research on the "ghost in the browser." In analyzing Web-based malware, Google indicates:
Although very beneficial, Internet transactions can expose user sensitive information. Banking and medical records, authorization passwords and personal communication records can easily become known to an adversary who can successfully compromise any of the devices involved in online transactions.
Unfortunately, the user's personal computer seems to be the weakest link in these transactions.
Contrary to the small set of applications running in the tightly managed and frequently updated commercial servers, a personal computer contains a large number of applications that are usually neither managed or updated. To make things worse, discovering older, vulnerable versions of popular applications is an easy task: a single visit to a compromised Website is sufficient for an attacker to detect and exploit a browser vulnerability.
In most cases, a successful exploit results in the automatic installation of a malware binary, a drive-by-download.
The installed malware often enables an adversary to gain remote control over the compromised computer system and can be used to steal sensitive information such as banking passwords, to send out spam or to install more malicious executables over time.
What does Google aim to do?
To address this problem and to protect users from being affected while browsing the Web, we have started an effort to identify all Web pages on the Internet that could potentially be malicious. We apply simple heuristics to the crawled pages repository to determine which pages attempt to exploit Web browsers.
Our goal is to observe the malware behavior when visiting malicious URLs and discover if malware binaries are being downloaded as a result of visiting a URL. Websites that have been identified as malicious are labeled as potentially harmful when returned as a search result.
Google has determined "attack strategies" on content that enable browser exploitation to turn Web pages into "malware infection vectors": Advertising, third-party widgets, user contributed content and Web server security are all in (not so nice) play.
The number one search engine Google proudly declares that it is often used by people as the "gateway to the Internet."
Google has a $150 billion (market cap) vested interest in:
1) A harmless Internet gateway,
2) An infection free billions of Web pages that it provides the gateway to,
3) Deflecting botnet responsibility to the (Microsoft) PC.

Coke Bottle Made of Ice: Released, "Eco-Friendly"!by Free Britney at . Comments
Coca-Cola just introduced a brand new bottle - made entirely of ice.
Sadly, only in Colombia for the time being. But it looks awesome!
Check 'em out in the video below:
Marketed as "eco-friendly" in this ad, the bottles are part of a push by Coke to think seriously about the environment - or at least a PR campaign that suggest it is.
While logistical issues posed by bottles made of ice are manifold, can you imagine how many tons of plastic would be saved each year? Each week?
Sure, there's still high-fructose corn syrup. But zero waste, people!
Not so sure about its ecological footprint. Sounds all honky-dory that it creates last plastic. But, what about the energy used to freeze-up coca-cola like that? It might use more energy.

Davenport & Co.,

John Ockerman,
production cuts,
European recession,
Midwest premium
aluminum prices
CHICAGO Production cuts announced by aluminum producers wont be enough to offset tepid aluminum demand this year, although regional premiums should continue to climb, according to Davenport & Co. LLC analysts.
"Producers are coming to terms with low aluminum pricesfinally. However, the majority of these cuts have yet to be implemented," analysts Lloyd T. OCarroll and John F. Ockerman said in a June 27 note to investors.
Aluminum prices will fall this year but should improve in 2014 thanks in part to slowing demand growth being offset by global production cuts, the analysts said, and aluminum demand should grow significantly over the next 10 years largely due to increased auto industry demand for aluminum body sheet.
London Metal Exchange cash prices for aluminum will drop 4.6 percent this year to an annual average of $1,926 per tonne before rebounding to $2,225 in next year and $2,375 in 2015, OCarroll and Ockerman said.
Domestic aluminum producers could see anticipated profits narrow or even swing to losses as a result of lower aluminum prices, the analysts said. Despite current low aluminum prices, regional premiums "should continue their uninterrupted march higher" over the next 12 to 18 months because of wide contangos on the LME, which should attract more metal into financing deals. U.S. Midwest premiums could reach 15 cents per pound in late 2014, they predicted.
AMMs Midwest premium is currently 11.75 to 12.25 cents per pound.
But the analysts warned that higher premiums may not be an unmitigated blessing for producers, especially over the long haul. "Higher premiums are cushioning the blow of low prices for aluminum producers," they said. "While this is beneficial in the short term for earnings, it has kept more production online than would have otherwise occurred, leading to a more-prolonged price downturn."
But the current drop in LME prices might "accelerate" the announcement of production cuts in 2013, OCarroll and Ockerman said. While tighter supplies and improving demand should bolster prices in the longer term, "stock financing should act as a soft ceiling on prices and prevent swift, sustained price improvements."
Alcoa Inc. has announced plans to permanently close two older potlines at its Baie-Comeau smelter in Quebec and postpone by three years the construction of a new potline as the company looks to cut costs (amm.com, May 16). The Pittsburgh-based aluminum company has said it is considering cutting up to 460,000 tonnes of smelter capacity by August 2014 as aluminum prices remain low (amm.com, May 1).
The European recession and slow growth in China have weakened demand at the same time that the market is exhibiting "negative sentiment" toward commodities in general and aluminum in particular, OCarroll and Ockerman said. "We expect this will continue to be the status quo."
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.

Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z has confirmed reports which claimed he has purchased the remainder of his business contract with Def Jam Records, including his unreleased Blueprint 3 album obligation.
Jigga kept details to a minimum, however, he did say a conversation with Def Jam executives has already taken place.
"I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely," Jay said in an interview. "I've been in the family for almost my entire career. Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique 'negotiations' ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end…I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music." (Rap Radar)
While Def Jam has yet to comment on the alleged transaction, details surrounding the deal have begun circulating online.
As Roc Nation, Jay-Z's new home under the Live Nation umbrella, takes shape, the hip-hop superstar has reportedly bought back the last remaining record on his Island Def Jam deal for what some say is a whopping $5 million, raising a number of intriguing questions. How does the album figure into the plans of Roc Nation's brain trust, which also includes the A&R-savvy Jay Brown and Tata, as well as Jay-Z's business manager John Menielly? How will it be marketed and distributed? Will Roc Nation employ a traditional distribution channel or take the LP direct to retail? (Hits Daily Double)
Jay previously discussed his long-awaited Blueprint 3 release earlier this year.
"For me, the process of making an album is difficult with so many things going on," he said in an interview. "And me, I wanna make it beyond and above. I'm gonna take my time with it. I don't have any quotas, and that's a good thing. It may be too freeing. It's a good thing and a bad thing. You know, I think I need some restrictions. 'Cause if I had restrictions, I would have done it in three weeks. I would have made what I believe to be a great piece of art. I actually recorded a lot of records already. You know, all those records that leaked [online] were on The Blueprint 3." (MTV)
Claiming he helped craft Blueprint 3, producer No. I.D. recently promised the finished product would be a "classic."
"Me and Kanye [West] have been doing a lot of work, we worked on Blueprint together," No. I.D. revealed. "Most of the stuff, I kinda took an ego, stepped back and said, 'Hey, let's [Dr.] Dre and Mel-Man it. I played Mel-Man. I'm gonna say, we were doing Blueprint 3 when we did 'Heartless.' 'Heartless' made 808s & Heartbreak happen and all that is related but everything in Blueprint 3 is like 808s & Heartbreak but with more hip-hop. So it's kinda like they related and Jay brings it around to make it hip-hop credible. It's some records on there. That record is also gonna be something that's gonna grow on people in a certain way and in a certain amount of time it's gonna be a full fledged classic." (Real Talk Express)
Jay has been with Def Jam for over a decade.
Together with friends Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke, Jay-Z created Roc-a-Fella Records, a risky strategy for cutting out the middleman and making money for himself. Once he found a reputable distributor, Priority Records (and then later Def Jam), Jay-Z finally had everything in place, including a debut album, Reasonable Doubt (1996). (All Music)
A release date for Blueprint 3 has not yet been announced.

Cry Lyrics - Rihanna
Review The Song (14)
I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole in love thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing
My mind is gone, I'm spinning round
And deep inside, my tears I'll drown
I'm losing grip, what's happening
I stray from love, this is how I feel
This time was different
Felt like, I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm, in this condition
And I've, got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
Did it happen when we first kissed?
'cause it's hurting me to let it go
Maybe 'cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more
I should've never let you hold me baby
Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give to you on purpose
Can't figure out how you stole my heart
How did I get here with you, I'll never know?
I never meant to let it get so, personal
And after all I tried to do, to stay away from loving you
I'm broken heart and I can't let you know
And I won't let it show
You won't see me cry
This time was different
Felt like, I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now I'm, in this condition
And I've, got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry
All my life...

"The story of the MLC, 2006 and, particularly, the level of support among shipowners, seafarers and governments for this Convention is truly remarkable, said Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Office. I fully expect that all 185 ILO members that have maritime interests, either as a home country to the world's seafarers or as a flag or port State, will eventually ratify the MLC, 2006. In April this year, I witnessed the maritime industry coming together to deal with shared concerns about the abandonment of seafarers and other matters. Later this year, the important question of occupational safety health standards on board ships will be discussed at an international meeting and in early 2015 the maritime sector will move forward to address an issue of great importance to the industry - seafarers' identity documents.This level of support and concern for some of the most vulnerable and essential of the world's workers is heartening. It reminds us of the possibilities for international cooperation and for progress on establishing social and labour standards for all workers when there is a climate for constructive social dialogue between the workers and employers and governments."The MLC, 2006 establishes comprehensive minimum requirements for almost all aspects of working and living conditions for seafarers including, minimum age, conditions of employment, hours of work and rest, accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering, health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection. It is designed, as a single coherent instrument, to secure the widest possible acceptability among governments, shipowners and seafarers committed to the principles of decent work. It focuses on a strong enforcement system to ensure compliance worldwide with seafarers' rights in all areas, while giving governments a higher degree of autonomy in the way this objective is achieved. The Convention was adopted in 2006 after nearly five years of intensive international tripartite consultation.
Under the Convention every seafarer has, in addition to fundamental rights at work, the right to:
Ms. Doumbia-Henry, Director of the ILO's International Labour Standards Department commented, "This anniversary is important as the MLC, 2006 entered a new stage of its life a year ago. The ideals and ideas of the shipowners and seafarers who called for this Convention are now being tested. Since 2013 not only have many more countries ratified, but also the innovative ship enforcement and compliance system, particularly for those ships that must be inspected and certified and are subject to port State control, including potential detentions in foreign ports, was put into operation as of 20 August 2013.
• a safe and secure workplace that complies with safety standards.
• fair terms of employment.
• decent working and living conditions on board ship.
• health protection, medical care, welfare measures and other forms of social protection.
• a safe and secure workplace that complies with safety standards.
• fair terms of employment.
• decent working and living conditions on board ship.
• health protection, medical care, welfare measures and other forms of social protection.
As the first year milestone has approached almost daily the Office has been asked about the actual impact of the MLC, 2006 for seafarers and how many ships have been found to be in breach of requirements. Have there been any changes experienced by seafarers and shipowners?
Although the ILO Office receives some informal information, the question of actual changes to conditions on board specific ships or the number of ship detentions, is really a matter for the flag State (the country where the ship is registered) or the regional port State control secretariats' databases, which closely monitor these matters. However, the ILO will soon, through its long established supervisory system, play a key role in the MLC, 2006's enforcement and compliance system and the concept of effective implementation through its supervisory system. This system, which is established under the Constitution of the ILO, requires that countries periodically file national reports regarding their implementation of the Conventions they have ratified. These reports are reviewed by the ILO's Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations at their annual meeting in November and December. The views of this Committee are then considered by the International Labour Conference. The Committee of Experts provides expert advice to countries on whether they are effectively implementing their obligations under the Convention concerned. The national organizations representing workers and employers also have an important role in this reporting process. The national reports of the first 30 ratifying countries are due this year and I will be very interested to read these national reports as the MLC, 2006 covers so many different issues and has many new approaches that can pose a challenge for some countries to implement in their legal systems."
In April 2014 the first meeting of the Special Tripartite Committee established under MLC, 2006 adopted amendments to the Code (the Standards and Guidelines) of the MLC, 2006 to better address the situation of abandonment of seafarers and shipowners' liability for compensation for seafarers or their families in the event of a seafarer's death or long term disability. These amendments were approved by the International Labour Conference in June 2014 and are expected to enter into force in 18 January 2017.
