Scandal: Obama, Gore, Goldman, Joyce Foundation CCX partners to fleece USA
IMage credit-Wikipedia
You're officially a bigger joke than Beck. I guess you didn't see his profile in Forbes magazine, where he called anyone who believes what he says "an idiot."
This was the same show where Beck said he wasn't an investigative reporter, right?
A watchdog? Did he give a name?
Beck is an entertainer and he called you an idiot for believing him.
He gets rich off fear. How much are you making off spreading his lies?
As usual you left bling haters don't give the rest of the story. Yes he said don't believe me, don't take my word for it. You omit his next statement. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK and verify. Not really all that necessary when he repeatedly shows " them " on video in their OWN words and in published books. You people are no beteer that the french who collaborated with the Germans.
I was the watchdog. Read the article that started it.
Why is it that liberal idiots calls Glenn an idiot but no one can dispute what he says? Because they can't. Why don't you check out the facts! Oh, I forgot, liberals don't care about facts, just smear the messenger and hope no one believes him. Show me where is facts are wrong!
No one disputes his claims because that would be like an adult arguing with a 4-year-old. You have to have a common sense of reality in order to have a real argument.
I am so glad to see someone besides Glenn Beck sticking his neck out to expose the corruption in the government. Thank you for covering this stoory. I will be checking back tomorrow for your Part 2.
Hey Anthony, instead of calling other people names I'd be interested to hear your take on the story and facts therein. Its the issues that matter, right? I've looked into many aspects of this and have not found a single item which was presented as fact to be errant. There is conjecture made about what the facts sum up to but lets just focus on the facts surrounding CCX, GIM, Goldman Sachs, Obama's effort to fund CCX while on the Joyce Foundation board...to name a few.
Hey Linda and Joe:
If you knew how to read, you would know that it is BECK calling YOU idiots for believing him!
I don't name call. Sorry. I elevate the discourse, unlike fear-mongers like Beck.
It's all paranoid conjecture with NO PROOF.
Beck lies on a daily basis. There are no facts here. move along.
The truth hurts and when you can't dispute it---talk about something other than the facts !!!
Are you that stupid?! He shows proof and facts every night. I have done my research and he is not wrong. Wake up and take a good look at the world today.
Yeah!!! Another brave soul exposes some truth! Thank you for reporting on this. This is a big deal and yet it goes un-reported for the most part. This is one of the biggest corruption stories of the century and where is the lame stream media? I am sending the this link to everyone I know! See you tomorrow!
These are not the lying scoundrelous political or financial bastards you are looking for...Move on
YEAH! take a real good look at Move On.org, Open Society, Media Matters, Center For American Progress, Think Progress, Tides Foundation, Joyce Foundation....and more; have one man in common....WHAT for It! That's Right....The Man Behind the Curtain ~ George Soros~
The man who has poisoned the wells of information and news with lies and distorttions of truth.
Thank you for the links in this article. The name callers on here should read them.
Can't wait for part 2 when Glen tells us what else we should think about all this!
re: A watchdog? Did he give a name?
What difference does it make? Are these things true and able to be verified, or not? If they are, what do you think of it?
So the CCX doesn't exist? The people that Beck named aren't involved? GS isn't an investor?
Beck always says if someone believes what he says, and doesn't do their own research, then they are an idiot. I see nothing wrong with that.
If you don't like Glenn Beck, or disagree with what he says, there's an easy solution, don't watch or listen to his programs.
Anthony - ok - let's say that you are right about Beck...Go research the information yourself. It is easy to find and connect the dots. My question is - where is the outrage on this? It is clear to me that our government has intentionally tried to deceive us with Global Warming threat - for profit. They stand to make $10 trillon dollars a year from this scheme. Look it up. Sandor, the guy who runs the CCX said it. Sandor once told the Wall Street Journal that, "Air and water are no longer the free goods that economics once assumed. They must be redefined as property rights so that they can be efficiently allocated."
And it is not fear, although I must admit that I get scared when I see what the future could hold for us if all this is right, but it is also concern for our future. For my children and grandchildren. And I called my local Iowa newspapaer today and asked them what they knew about this, they told me that they never even heard of the Chicago Climate Exchange. They only get their information from the AP. Go figure. No one we can't easilty verify.
November 2010 - The END of the Progressive Party!
Remember to VOTE!
Where were you when Bush was in office?
Such odd and thoughtless comments from Anthony. He doesn't name-call, but he calls Beck a liar. He insinuates that a person who's not an investigative reporter can't possibly uncover anything substantive. Strange, huh? As for Beck saying people shouldn't believe him, he's saying merely that people need to do their own homework, not just believe what others tell them without verifying the information. Sounds sensible and intelligent to me. So instead of just assuming Beck is wrong, Anthony should try checking the information out to see who is right and who is wrong BEFORE he makes his accusations.
This is Obummer's Haliburton
Mr. Dail, You are spot-on with this article!
For those of you who are more interested in vilifying Beck than in verifying the facts of his news story, ask your self this: Yeah, maybe Beck's crazy or maybe he's just making money off stupid, naive people but . . . what if he's right?????
To bad for gore and his scammer buddies tha the AGW hoax has been exposed by the emails and public opinion is falling faster than al gore can side step a debate. Instead of making billions, these manipulaters stand to lose big money. We must keep the pressure on and make the socialist democrats pay a heavy political price in the next elections for funding the AGW scam and ripping the taxpayers off to the tune of 70+ billion dollars
I actually spent some time researching this after seeing Beck's show yesterday. What he says is true. This story should be front-page headline news. But, since all the media are in Obama's back pocket, the general public will never learn of this.
A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
Anthony's not so bright, is he? Evidently, doesn't understand what he reads (see his comments on the Forbes interview), and just parrots the standard everyday liberal media/blog line of the day.
It is just so rich with irony that liberals seem to all assume they are smarter than everyone else, but they can't debate:
1. Spout the talking points.
2. Recount as fact an untruth/Play big bad rich white guys card
3. When asked for facts, respond by name calling.
4. When asked again for facts, respond with vile profanity.
5. Exit the discussion without stating even one true fact.
That's about how it usually goes.
tmh, there are many respected journalists who are critical of Obama, but I suppose it's easier to believe that they're all in his back pocket than to believe that Beck's theory isn't being picked up because it has no merit.
It is so sad to see that the uneducated and liberally biased people in this country are so willingly surrendering their own personal liberties and freedom to blidnly follow the promises of Hope and Change!!! They are going to feel betrayed and hopeless when the whole system collapses under it's own expanding mass!!! Bigger and more corrupt government stands to destroy the very fabric of our free society all in the name of social justice and massive entitelments!!! We are in free fall, may God please have mercy on the USA!!!!
What's even sadder is that the same people who cry about the loss of liberty in this country didn't blink an eye when the Patriot Act was passed. Didn't blink when Bush had the telcos spying on every bit of communication between Americans. Said nothing when "Extraordinary Rendition" and torture was uncovered. When deregulation led to the evaporation of American pensions and retirement plans. When we declared war on people who had nothing to do with 911. This "Free Fall" was started by Bush and Cheney and laid at the feet of this president. There hasn't been bigger or more corrupt government since the previous administration. What really destroys the fabric of this country is delusion and ignorance.
Thank you for reporting on this! This should be front page headlines on every newspaper and the lead story on MSM networks. This is the blueprint for the undoing of America, as we know it. Glenn has connected the dots and it is undeniable with facts. This must be exposed for the sake of our Country. It is time to tune out the "noise" from talking point left bloggers and concentrate on getting the truth out to our fellow Americans before it is too late.
Thanks for reporting this. The real crooks in the Goldman-Sachs case are in Congress. They are the ones that gave Goldman and others multi-billions in taxpayer bailout funds, knowing full well these firms had engaged in dubious practices--primarily because the GOVERNMENT encouraged the whole thing going back to Bill Clinton's insistence in the mid-90s that mortgage lenders be pressured by gov't to lend to ANYONE whether they could afford it or not.
Also interesting to note--several Senators who have engaged in highly unethical if not outright criminal behavior are sitting in judgment of Goldman. Hypocrisy at its worst.
It is so sad to see that the uneducated and conservatively biased people in this country are so willingly surrendering their own free thought to follow the maniacal rantings of Glenn Beck!!! They are going to feel betrayed and hopeless when he's indicted for slander and collapses under his own expanding pumpkin head!!! Illegal war, crony capitalism, and more corrupt government had destroyed the very fabric of our free society for too long, all in the name of patriotism!!! We were in free fall, thank God for having mercy on the USA!!!!
sucks to be doug. he married a moron.
when I am having a bad day I can smile and thank God I'm not Doug.
This story on Beck was unbelievable. Now what I want to know is this: Did John Paulson (Not Hank) and George Soros "bet" shorts on the housing market...and if so...HOW DID THEY KNOW ABOUT IT...
Mike, ... duh. If you searched the company profile, you'd learn that it's a privately held company. Perhaps you should go onto "eHow" and learn how you, too, can indeed invest and get shares in a privately held company. But I doubt you have the clout, or apparently the brights, to get your foot in the door.
I am so angry that the media has not taken this story to the people. I called a local news paper to ask why and they told me that they only print what the AP has available. So again, it is someone else's fault. A jounalist could google this and in 1/2 an hour find enough credible information to write SOMETHING about it. Dah...jounalists..where are you?
Wait! Apologies, Mike. I thought you were calling Beck the anti-Christ. LOL So used to that one.
So forgive my misinterpretation of your post and what appeared to be sarcasm.
It appears to me that Doug and his wife should move to a more fairytale land,there everything that Obama says is just so true. When is the American public going to stop listening to his lies, hopefully soon, before there is no America left, I'm a beleiver that some greater power than us is just waiting to see how ignorant and proudful and greedy we will become, then all will see what is really happening to our country and where obamas progressive agenda is going to lead us,May God bless people like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and all the other brave Americans who have exposed the truth, so all may see with their own eyes and may each of those people discern the difference between fact and fiction. I love America, do you doug?
Yes, god bless the talking heads that perpetuate the lies, spin and fear that is at the heart of the Republican agenda. The same rhetoric that works to derail any progress in this country. Progress means change. Whether brought on by this president or any other . Give people something to be afraid of. Stoke the fires of pettiness and false outrage. Keep the masses at each others throats long enough for the rich to make another million off their backs.
The Freddie and Fannie side to this whole is just the tip of the iceberg. The whole thing makes sense, they all bet against the low income mortgage market. They purchased insurance to cover their butts. When the mortgages stated to default the banks still made money, that was why it was so important that AIG be bailed out because that was the insurance company that insured those bad mortgages. No mater what these officials would win. They ALL deserve to be in prison not standing on the side lines waiting to collect their pensions and cadillac health care benefits. The American Citizen who has been paying into SS all their life be dammed, they got theirs.
Beck comes up with some prettyy wild sh^% sometimes. I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to have watched that day this was aired. He made his all of his points and the links were believable. I don't trust Gore as far as I can throw the ton of hot gas he spouts. He was nearly broke when he left office and now, in just 10 years, he's become the god of Global Warming and people don't believe he stands to make billions on it? This is the guy who won the NPP for his efforts yet spends more than $17,000 a month pt power his house!!! My math says he uses the energy of 2000 typical homes - Wake up and smell the crap people!
Climate Exchange incorporated in the Isle Of Man, a tax haven. So your tax dollars will eventually go off shore where those invested can feast upon their returns. Richard Sandor who is the architect of the Climate Exchange Credit, is also the Father of the Derivative and Future Markets. Did you know he was executive of Drexel Burnham? You remember Drexel Burnham, don't you? How bout Michael Milken, Junk Bond King who went to jail? Does that ring a bell?
Oh, then there's Maurice Strong, illusive Canadian Billionaire, was a Director of Climate Exchange until they removed him from Directorship so we wouldn't find this info out. You see Maurice Strong was a close friend of Kofi Anin, & was involved in Food For Fuel scandal. He moved to communist China. Oooooh!! So great being a billionaire and raping the wallets of average hard working worker. Valerie Jarrett served on board of Joyce Foundation. Could go on & on, no characters left except the ones in this SCAM!
Isn't funny how Doug's wife can't think for herself! Oh, she is a liberal...
Wow, they certainly can write some fancy names up on a chalkboard and link them all together with lines and talk about them in dark and nefarious ways. if we're gonna start crapping our pants because politicians and disgustingly rich people know each other, then we're all gonna end up needing our diapers changed. Goldman Sach's is an investment bank, they invest in everything. The whole glorious financial system was wrapped up in the hoodwinking of themselves and everyone else for the "real estate bubble". Just because Mr. Should Be on late night cable access Beck starts spouting off with his ah-ha brand of madness, doesn't make a cap and trade market a bad idea. and once again, where's your solution? can you feed children with your nifty little conspiracy diagrams? can you breathe in the self righteous nonsense that you spew? does water become drinkable when filtered through the misinformation and propaganda that you promote?
What in the world is wrong with you Reuben . ?????
Climate Change AKA Global Warming has been shown to be questionable at best. And probably a massive Hoax perpetrated by Top Politicians, Top scientists and Top people at the U N. Now showing us they are tops only in the titles they hold....and in the POWER they have mistakenly been given over us and over policy issues. That Power now NEEDS to be revoked FAST !!
What in the world does taxing AIR have to do with feeding anyone ???
And these connections show clearly that the whole push FOR attention on Global Warming was to aggitate everyone with fear, while they established a phoney money trail amongst these Phoney Shell Companies with the sole purpose to sell and trade "credits" on a compound within our AIR. These companies, Foundations, and Trading Schemes produce nothing...but take everything from us, our freedoms our money.
Free market is definately the way to go...but in selling REAL Produced products not more SCAMS !!
To the people who are decrying this scandal as a conspiracy, or disparaging Beck as a mad lunatic: I read every post from the skeptics on this board, and NOT A SINGLE PERSON has offered even ONE piece of evidence to support their assertion that this is all just a crazy conspiracy theory. If you can do anything to inform us on this matter other than rattle off ad hominem attacks and display your a priori biases against Glenn Beck, then by all means do it. I'm serious, I'm looking for the truth and if you have it then I'd love to hear it. I watched this whole program, and in my mind Beck offered very convincing evidence of a scandal that's downright frightening. And so far the media hasn't managed to "uncover" this story that Beck broke. And the most "convincing" argument I've seen so far, and it's still incredibly pathetic, is "Beck's theory isn't being picked up because it has no merit." Brilliant. That couldn't be attributable to the ever-present media bias, no, definitely not.

Houston rapper Slim Thug and Dallas' Dorrough might not be able to convince LeBron James to pack his bags and switch teams but the Texas emcees are settling for free agent Dwight Howard in a must-read epic Twitter battle.
Slim Thug started things off by publicly reaching out to Howard and trying to make him seriously consider playing for the Houston Rockets next season.
"Yooo @DwightHoward what uppp gone come down to Houston G we got ya u already know Kobe gone act like a girl and blame u all season," Slim tweeted July 1st.
"We real out here u can buy a big ass crib for cheap ill throw u a few assist on hoes make your next move your best move G @DwightHoward"
"We both got babymamas @DwightHoward do u know that they only get 20% in Houston it's wayyyy worst in LA"
"Yo @DwightHoward meet @IAmMaliahMichel @MercedesMorr @miraclewatts00 @Lira_Galore @IAmTresureP @MisMODELKIKI @victoriarrrose @MAC_BXTCH"
"A @DwightHoward dat boy @JHarden13 out here living like a king"
"And @DwightHoward we got the Texans so not too much pressure on winning a ring this year we got time to grow u kno LA gone hate tho"
"And u can talk on the phone and text while u drive down here @DwightHoward" (Slim Thug's Twitter)
This immediately caught attention from Dorrough who added to the laughs by poking fun at Thugga and H-Town.
"Ay @DwightHoward don't go to houston bro, they gon make u throw dem ol ass swangas on every car u have @slimthugga"
"Ay @DwightHoward u got a real chance at winning a ring here in Dallas"
"Ay @DwightHoward Slim Thug just wanna club with somebody thats as big as his tall ass lol @slimthugga"
"Ay @DwightHoward we got better chicken, bbq, etc. in dallas.. and our skyline looks better than Houstons!! @slimthugga"
"Ay @DwightHoward.. Dallas Hoes gon fuck.. Houston Hoes gon scheme u out ya money lmao"
"Ay @DwightHoward if u go to houston they gon make u sign with Swishahouse.. Come to Dallas and u'll be free.. @slimthugga" (Dorrough's Twitter)
Not one to back down, Slim hopped back onto his Twitter and fired back.
"U too tall to be in Dallas with @DorroughMusic doing the dougie @DwightHoward gnrr"
"Gnrr @dwighthoward gone have a shag if he come to dallas ????????RT @DorroughMusic: @slimthugga lol uh oh its war now!! haha" (Slim Thug's Twitter)
The latest reports claim Howard is already in active talks with the Rockets.
The Houston Rockets wasted little time in the NBA's free agency period to attempt to lure Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard to Houston on Monday. A Rockets contingent led by GM Daryl Morey, head coach Kevin McHale, guard James Harden and forward Chandler Parsons met with Howard at the Bel-Air hotel in Los Angeles for more than two hours early Monday morning.

Lowell Folk Festival! July 24 - 26
Hi all!
Just a heads up that the Lowell Folk Festival is this weekend - Friday evening through Sunday. Food from around the world, cooked by the local community (Latino, Greek, Portuguese, Jamaicain, African American, Filipino - that's just off the top of my head! (As they're cooking outside, and for hundreds (thousands!), each dish may not be as special as you might find in a restaurant - but the variety! The "hunt"! And the excitement of finding new treats!
There are past posts about favorites - Look for the Nigerians in St Anne's courtyard (Several of us Hounds think this food is the standout at Lowell!), the octopus stew from the Portuguese at JFK, and, for something lighter, the fatoosh sandwich (salad with delicious zatar on pita) from the Armenian's, also at JFK. I also always get sweet potato pie at the African- American tables!
Check back here during the Festival for new finds!
The Festival itself is a wonderful, FREE conglomeration of home-grown, terrific music from around the world, on six outdoor stages....Rain or shine! (Will be moved indoors if non-stop rain or if Friday evening is very wet - Otherwise, bring a small umbrella, and a plastic bag to sit on!)
EXTREMELY kid friendly!
re: RandyL
Nope, but at the Main stage(JFK), there IS a beer and wine stand (May be the only wine stand)...Also another at the end of the row near Boardinghouse Park, where you can't leave their Beirgarten with your beverage, and another behind the Mill Bldg where some of the galleries are, with a bunch of newer food vendors. larger area there, and IIRC, you can take stuff with you, I think...Don't quote me here...Obviously, I have paid close attention to this issue.
re: galleygirl
We just came from the new stage "Dutton Street Stage" and there was also a beer/wine booth. Food is awesome, as usual. We started with a falafal, rice and fotoosh (sp?) at a middleeastern booth across from Boarding house park. Then after the wonderful blues music at Dutton Street Stage, we got some fantastic asian food: spring roll, pad thai and chicken basil.
We love this event every year, still deciding on lunch tomorrow - can I have it all???
re: lexpatti
Oh yeah, I forgot, that fattoush is also a must-have...
re: galleygirl
I make something very similar all the time but I've been calling it Panzanella Salad (I use lemon juice, not vinegar).
re: lexpatti
Yes, panzanella and fattoush are pretty similar, though seasoned differently. And fattoush is usually made with pita, while panzanella is made with different breads - I like ciabbata or a nice rustic Italian loaf.
I had a big helping of the fattoush yesterday, which was indeed delicious. Also Barmy and I split a slice of the sweet potato pie that fredid mentions above - one of the best I've had in a long, long time. But I did regret not getting a lumpia of my own from the Filipino stand - man, that was good!
Probably too late now, but the cold and unappetizong patties that Barmy mentions below were being sold at the Jamaican/Indian booth that had locations both at JFK Plaza, near the Polish booth, and at Boarding House Park.
Don't forget the Polish and Southeast Asian food vendors! Though it is free, they do pass the hat at each of the concert venues and are rather hard up financially this year, so I hope that Hounds who attend will be generous! As with the weekly concert series at Boardinghouse Park, this is a family-oriented event. There's a strong Park Ranger presence. This is not the place for those who can't enjoy themselves without getting snockered. I've gone many times, and have rarely seen drunk or rowdy people. Either it doesn't attract them, or they are speedily removed.
re: greygarious
They keep them in little pens, and make the alcohol difficult to find....Plus, Birkinstocks reduce the problem of reeling from too much alcohol.... (ha!)
The best SE Asian vendor, with a slightly different menu than the others, is near Boardinghouse park. Last year, they were making papaya salad in a mortar and pestle...
re: greygarious
I agree. I was thinking along the lines of what the Annual Food and Wine Fest is like every Fall in Epcot. Along with small food samplings in kiosks from many different countires and regions of the world (and not just the countries that are represented in Epcot), they have small "pours" of beers and wines native to each area. Not nearly enough to get snockered but certainly give a taste of what they are like.
re: RandyL
It's a cool idea, but I think a big difference is that the food and drink at Epcot presumably come form Epcot kitchens and are covered by Epcot's liquor licensing.
In contrast, each booth at Lowell is run by a different small group, most of them church groups, and I would think that it would be both difficult and expensive to get licensing to serve alcohol in those circumstances. Not to mention the challenge of each booth having to check IDs in crowded, hectic circumstances.
Just came back from another wonderful few hours: The portugese booth by JFK was awesome, fava beans with luinguicia and smoked ham - hubby had the beef kabob and rice. We also hit the south african booth and had fantastic goat stew and meat pies.
And for those asking, Ricardo's has opened a new wine/cheese shop where they are doing wine tasting outside. It's down an alley just off Prescott St., which is just of Central. IT's actually on the back side of Prescott on the Canal (sort of). Nice new shop!
re: mirage
we had the goat stew too. killah good.
re: threedogs
Yes, though the demos are not necessarily run by vendors (often not, I think).
New vendor: Sri Lankan food at St. Anne's (across from the Nigerians). No culinary trails being blazed but good solid homestyle bone-in chicken stew, dal, potatoes, rice, pieces of pappadum, they are not shy with the chili pepper, $5 for a generous styro boxful. I was there early and some items could have been cooked a shade longer, but not a deal breaker. An impressive debut. At 2:15 they were packed and gone.
Whoever was supposed to bring the pepper soup to the Nigerian table never did show, but the goat stew was rich, deeply flavored and spicy/smoky, and better than I remember from the past.
M&M Ribs was set up on John St. next to the fried dough stand. I don't remember them at previous festivals but may have missed them.
In addition to the truck with beer (Bud only, I think, but did not investigate) and wine at the dance pavilion, more restaurants have set up outside tables, and I saw many patrons imbibing.
Don't know if I've mentioned them, but the guys selling lemon- and limeade near Cobblestones (near JFK) do a great job.
re: Aromatherapy
I saw another beer truck on JFK this afternoon -- I was having enough trouble staying hydrated that I stuck with water all day, so I didn't investigate, but I wanna say this might have been a Sam Adams truck. Don't hold me to that.
Had a spectacularly bad Jamaican patty at a booth on JFK -- I don't remember who, so I can't warn folks away from it. It would have been edible if it was at least approaching warm, but there are few things grosser than a cold patty.
However, the Pinoy stand near Boarding House Park more than made up for it. $10 for the beef combo plate is one of the spendier items at the festival, but for that you get a long skewer of tender and perfectly grilled beef, fried rice with sausage and peas, rice noodles and a huge egg roll that was so good Allstonian was loath to give it back after she tried a bite. I recommend dousing the plate with the garlic and pepper vinegar near the cash register.
(Music geek digression: Walking into a set in the dance pavilion that was supposed to be some zydeco player I've never heard of only to discover instead the great D.L. Menard counting in to "Joli Blon" (the "Louie Louie" of Cajun music) was like walking into the corner bar and discovering that Paul McCartney had commandeered the stage.)
re: Aromatherapy
Had a really nice brisket sandwich at M&M.
They never explained while I was around why DL Menard was there and not Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys.
Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band got spontaneous standing ovations. They were that good.
If you're into buff guys dancing around shirtless, check out Capoeira Luanda.
re: lergnom
rosie ledet is under criminal investigation, she was arrested last week. story is gruesome and in the lowell sun.
those luanda guys were amazing eye candy, lol.
had great raspberry lime rickies from monkey's today which really helped beat the heat.
re: hotoynoodle
That's really too bad, I just read the article and made it back to the fest to see this band (which was awesome but she wasn't on stage).
We made all three days this year, although still not long enough - we had competing events on both Sat&Sun but next year, I could handle all three days with NO interruptions! This afternoon, we had more asian food with noodles, chicken satay and spring rolls.
The art exhibits were fantastic, anyone see that copper jewelry booth inbetween the mills?Vagabond Jewelry? Very cool stuff this year. And more places to sit to enjoy the food too.
Or the Sabra Bar - yes, little containers of sabra hummus with a bar to add things like roasted red peppers, roasted garlic, peppdew, chipolti peppers, jalapeno - ALL FREE AND FREE PITA CHIPS TOO!
All vegies and salads for me for the next week - I must gain several lbs from this awesome event.
The "banana rolls" at the Phillipines booth across from Boardinghouse Park were excellent! They seemed like cooked plantains in a wrapper that was deep-fried.
Great time with my 11 year old son, reacquainting him with his Quebecois and Cajun roots. Wish there was some jambalaya to eat.
re: three of us
There was, and I was shocked and already had a full belly when we passed the sign at Cobblestones. We love jambalaya too - 7 years in NOLA doesn't ever leave ya.
Happy eating! Happy music! Happy Fredi!
First of all, I'm planning a NIGERIAN GOAT-STEW CHOWDOWN! with the Nigerians - so keep your eye out! (Hopefully, they'll prepare the goodies, one of us will pick it up and drive it to Boston, and we'll all happily consume!)
Recs for next year: Well, of course, that goat stew! Baked, spiced chicken also good, chicken stew fine but nothing new - Nigerian booth/St Anne's
Latin American/BoardingHousePark: They have a new (better!) warmer - got a fresh bacalaito/codfish cake.
African American/BoardingHousePark: Fried Chicken was delish! Moist, crispy, slightly spicy. Much better then previous, and great sweet potato pie.
Greek/BoardingHousePark: Lamb skewer on bed of greek salad was nicely done.
M and M/ John St.: Pulled Pork sandwich - tasty.
Middle Eastern/JFK: I recommend the gadaif (shredded wheat pastry) and lamejun (meat pie)
Portuguese/JFK: Missed the octopus stew! DARN! I like their rice pudding
Music! Treats: Alash/Tuvan throat singing! Senegalese twosome! Exciting BRASS klezmer! New Orleans jazz in the rain!! I was a happy girl!
re: fredid
What kind of filling did the gadaif (which I usually spell kadayif) have? Was it a walnut, sugar, cinnamon, or a ricotta cheese. I could eat a who try of it.
re: Infomaniac
Walnut, sugar and cinnamon. I think they had both spellings at the booth...

Getting Started with Queen Rearing
By Dana Stahlman
Why raise queens?
Some background into the history of queen production over the last 100 years.
If you read the beekeeping literature of the past 100 years, one thing stands out -- we have been trying to create the perfect queen and article after article complains about queens. Just what does a queen buyer expect from a queen?
A well bred queen --one that lays well and produces a lot of brood
Not always a genetic factor:
Weather is a big factor -- cool, wet breeding days during the first 15 days of new queens life has more to do with proper breeding than anything else is.
A queen that is not superseded --This is a common complaint.
A queen that produces gentle bees --Aggressive bees are not fun.
This is a genetic factor; it can be controlled by selection of breeding stock and drone stock.This is where the queen breeder really does his/her thing in selection.
A queen: greater honey production from her bees--
A new queen should pay for herself in greater honey production: At current honey prices an increase of 15 to 20 pounds of additional honey is required.
Again this is genetic breeding -- select from only the best honey-producing queens.
A queen should be disease resistant, mite resistant, and anything else resistant.
Again this is genetic breeding, introduction of new bees such as Russian queens and their genetic pool into breeding programs and critical selection of current bee stock.
So much attention has been made of the superior qualities of certain queens. Be sure you are not falling into the "hype" of these advocates. Consumers always want the newest, latest, most improved model of anything. If someone were to advertise their queens as "Guaranteed to survive from year to year, produce 500 pounds of honey per hive; completely resistant to AFB, and all other diseases -- thus no chemical or treatment ever required; her bees born with no stinger -- so no fear of stinging; and best of all: the bees will stack supers on the hive and empty the honey supers when the season is over into your buckets, drums, or even your one pound jars."
How many of you would run out an buy a queen advertised by a breeder as described above? Pretty outrageous claims wouldn't you say!
Why you can raise your own queens and they will most likely be just as good as those you buy!
First, there is no mystery in raising queens. The bees will do the job for you. Second, if you select from the best queen you have then you will be making improvement in something you already have! Most queens sold are assembly line queens and both good and bad are produced in the process. No one can sell a queen that has just started to lay eggs and tell you what that queen is going to do! Some queen breeders have established a reputation for good queens and for the most part, you can expect good queens from them but once in awhile a bad one gets through. The bad queen breeders will not get your second order.
Why you can raise your own queens and sell them!
A local queen breeder has the following advantages:
Queens provide a good second income -- but the business is time-consuming.
Basic Queen Rearing
Queen rearing is based upon scientific fundamentals.
The following fundamental facts are:
Conditions under which queens are raised naturally.
Getting Started
Select abreeder queen -- she is going to be the mother of all the queens you raise!
The Procedure
Cell building Colonies:
Sharing my secret
I have had the best success any time during the year-- although early spring with swarming season is the easiest by doing the following:
You will need a separate small hive for each of the queen cells you raise and enough bees in each to support the young virgin queen when she emerges from her cell.And of course, you need a drone population for her to mate with!
A Calendar for Raising Queen Cells
Queen Production Schedule:
Time period (days 1 - 3) Approximately 72 hours
Days 1, 2, & 3
Time period (days 4 - 12) Approximately 192 hours.
Time period (days 12 - 16) Approximately 120 hours
Once a virgin queen emerges from her cell, she will destroy other cells from which queens have not yet emerged. If there are other queens in the cell builder, they will find each other and fight until there is only one left.
The virgin queen will mate usually within 5 days of emerging and begin to lay eggs usually within 10 days after emerging. However, it may vary a bit due to weather conditions. Researchers point out that virgin queens mate more than once and usually between 12 to 20 mating occur. Thus you will need a very large drone population for your young virgin queens. A good strong healthy hive may have between 300 and 500 drones at peak periods.

Last week, Toyota revealed their new 2013 Auris five-door hatchback aimed at global (read: not for the U.S.) markets and it's quite a looker, not to mention all of the research and development time and money going into creating a new model. That said, the styling of the JDM (Japan Domestic Market) Corolla Fielder/Axio is rather mute, bulbous, and places an emphasis on luxury, features, and overall interior volume rather than competitive styling. It certainly wouldn't work here in North America. The Auris, on the other hand, would look great on our roads, except for one thing: It's a hatchback. Although there are more and more hatches returning to the land of the free, yanks have not completely warmed up to them enough to warrant Toyota executing a full profile change from sedan to hatchback on the Corolla we get here in the States. Nevertheless, the Corolla we will see here in North America may end up looking very similar to the Auris in profile and overall styling, more or less from the vehicle's B-pillar on forward. How can we tell? Pictures speak a thousand words.
Firstly, take a look at the front fascia. Now, it's not the spitting image of the Auris, but from what we can tell from the spy shots, we're looking at foglights, possible HID headlamps, and a prominent nose with the proportions of the JDM Auris model.
Similarities in side profile are nearly spot-on as well, especially when you look at the mirrors. Not only is the mirror shape identical, so are the aero fins (the same kind we've seen on many new Lexus models lately). Proportionally, the front fenders seem to share the same overall shape and proportion on each side of the wheel well, and the similarities between both cars don't seem to stop until you get behind the B-pillar. Again, this is because the vehicle shown in the spy photos is a Corolla sedan, and with the departure of the Matrix in Toyota's lineup, it would make sense for Toyota to bring back the Corolla five-door – possibly leaving the door wide open for Toyota to slap a Corolla badge on the back of an Auris and put it on a boat bound for Long Beach. Although that whole situation is purely speculative, it makes perfect sense.
So, what do you think? Would you like to see the new Auris (or something closely resembling it) in the United States soon?

British Gas applies to wind up UK colo outfit Alphadex
British Gas has filed a petition to wind up UK colocation outfit Alphadex. It's the second time Alphadex has found itself in trouble in recent weeks. In early March it experienced significant outages, drawing understandable ire from its users. The company has since explained the incident as having been caused by "unsecured …
"unsecured WordPress scripts which allowed [hackers] to install a UDP relay service on the customers [sic] virtual server. This UDP relay service then sent traffic between itself and other compromised servers on the network, the traffic proliferated until it hit its capacity."
I seem to recall this from one of the BOFH's/PFY's excuse sheets.
So, they haven't paid the gas bill?
"So, they haven't paid the gas bill?"
Usually, yes. But it could be any form of financial or trade debt to British Gas, including (for example) repayment for services Alphadex contracted to deliver that were paid but not delivered, or delivered but of unsatisfactory quality, leading to a claim. Either way, once a company starts getting winding up petitions its days are usually numbered, because in addition to a refusal or financial inability to pay debts, there's often a systemic problem about how they've got to the stage of not paying bills.
The court doesn't have to grant the petition, and as an unsecured creditor you'd usually get nothing from winding up a non-viable business, so typically winding up petitions are used as a way of escalating a disputed debt where you believe that the company can pay, but is choosing not to.
More likely their electricity bill - we used to use BG for electricity at previous work.
Yes we have BG 'electricity' at work. I'd imagine a winding up order is pretty final or is it just to try and force their hand. I'm actually surprised they did not just pull the plug which I assume they are contractually able to do - i.e. to stop they running up more debt.
"Pulling the plug" isn't so easy at the moment. ISTR that you have to send a bod to their premises with a court order to get inside and do the dirty (or a slick talking "I'm here to check the phalanges on your meter" guy).
Of course once you've got one of the new digital meters, it's a different matter. Then the person cold-calling you to change your insurance to BG will turn off your electricity out of spite because you were rude and hung up on them.
Their bank would have frozen their accounts on noting the winding up petition. The company are served with a petition by process server so cant be unaware of it, then the process goes on a bit before its advertised, its pretty final when it gets this far i.e. the doors will be closing.
It's just a petition at this stage
It's just a petition...
It's stories like these that sensationalise the issue, creating more negative publicity for a company, making it harder to get themselves out of whatever hole they have got the self into!
I personally think that this sort of petition should not be advertised until it has been granted by the court, giving the company and the creditor time and space to work out a solution between them if that is at all possible...
I'm joining the rats
Time to jump off the sinking ship.
We have websites, domains, and DNS hosted on a virtual server at Alphadex. The last thing we want is for that to go dark - I was trying to do an Office365 migration over the weekend of their outage, and had to roll back because I wasn't able to update the mx records. Our helpdesk is on it, our remote support software is on it.
Better to move in a managed fashion than have a panic because one Monday morning absolutely nothing is working.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Destiny Villa was a fantastic spot for family vacation this year! The spacious home made it easy for multiple families to stay comfortably all together, while still having their privacy. The beach is just a short walk away which made it easy getting the little kids to and from with no problems. We enjoyed spending the our days on the white, sandy beaches! Watching the sunsets is a must! The pool is also located within the community, and it was a nice place to hang out with lounge chairs when we were tired of the beach.
Kitchen was well stocked and the open floor plan made it easy for all of the family to be together while dinner was being prepared. We had movie nights and played games. Overall, we had a great vacation! Hope to be back next year!

Frogs! A Chorus of Colors is back at New York Citys American Museum of Natural History, but the sound of horny croaking hasnt left the Houston Museum of Natural Science. In response to the popularity of the traveling exhibit, the museum has put together Frogs: The Sequel. Hmm, we wouldve gone with F2: Webment Day, Froggin 2: Aquatic Boogaloo or Croak Hard with a Vengeance. Like any good follow-up, Frogs brings back favorite characters from the original -- such as poison dart frogs and red-eyed tree frogs -- and introduces new ones, such as marine toads, painted mantellas and strawberry poison darts (which sound more like a cocktail to us). This summer, theyre leaping out of the lily pad and back into the limelight.
June 1-Sept. 3

Casey's General Stores Inc. today reported its second quarter FY 2013 results, which included a drop in earnings per share impacted by lower gas margins and a decrease in cigarette sales.
However, the company received a boost from its prepared food program, which Robert J. Myers, chairman and CEO, said is doing "exceptionally well."
For the foodservice category, the company's goal for fiscal 2013 is to increase same-store sales by 11 percent, with an average margin of 61.1 percent. For the quarter, same-store sales were up 10.1 percent, with an average margin of 62.5 percent.
"This category continues to benefit from three primary operating initiatives: expanded hours, pizza delivery and major store remodels," Myers said. "The margin continues to exceed our annual goal primarily due to an increase in pizza sales."
Year to date, total sales were up 14.5 percent and gross profit rose 19.4 percent to $182.1 million.
So far this fiscal year, Casey's has converted 150 stores to 24-hour operation, added pizza delivery to 103 stores and completed 51 major remodels.
At the mid-year point, the company opened eight new store constructions and completed the acquisition of three stores. The company has also replaced 13 stores.
"In November we completed the acquisition of 22 Kum and Go locations and opened our first stores in Tennessee and North Dakota," Myers added. "We are on pace to build 30 new stores this fiscal year and continue to be optimistic with the acquisition environment."
Casey's currently has 13 stores under construction and has eight stores under written agreement to acquire.

The International Violence Against Women Act
The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is a historic and unprecedented effort of the U.S. government to take leadership in establishing an overall and integrated approach to respond and address violence against women and girls internationally. The Act establishes a Coordinator to Combat Violence Against Women Internationally. The time is now to capitalize on this awareness and support and to enact this comprehensive vision to address the problem of violence against women.
Help End Women's Poverty: Support the GROWTH Act
The Global Resources and Opportunities for Women to Thrive (GROWTH) Act would address some of the most critical economic barriers women that keep women in poor countries from earning an income, barriers such as unequal property rights, lack of access to credit and trade, and poor wages and working conditions.
For the GROWTH Act to be passed, it needs concerned citizens to urge Congress to support it. Send an automatic letter to your Senators and Representatives asking them to support the bill.

For Lindsay Brooks, a simple grunt did wonders.
For Cady Gambrell, a sprained neck wasn't going to stop her.
Two different paths have led to the same destination -- the CIF State Championships track and field meet today at Buchanan High in Clovis.
The meet is a two-day affair with qualifying today and the championships on Saturday. The top nine from each event qualify for Saturday. Field events start at 3 p.m. while track competition begins at 5 p.m.
Brooks and Gambrell -- both Fortuna High seniors -- excelled at the North Coast Section Meet of Champions (MOC) on May 28 and earned a spot in the state meet. Brooks was the top overall girls discus thrower at the MOC with a toss of 132-feet, 6-inches. Gambrell came in fourth with a throw of 121-10.
"I didn't really believe I threw the score I threw," said Brooks over the phone on Wednesday evening. "I was in shock. I went from 123 to a 130... 132... I knew I had it in me but I didn't now it was going to happen."
"I was really excited," Gambrell said in her phone interview about her performance at MOC. "The first thing I wanted to do was call my mom. (I did) and (the announcer) even announced it over the speaker when he said my name."
The pair of Huskies will be joined by fellow Humboldt-Del Norte Conference athletes Morgan Laney from Del Norte, and Nick Moran and Stanley Gagliano from McKinleyville.
Gambrell perhaps summed up the feelings of all four athletes.
"It's a big relief that I'm not going home after MOC. I have another week to do something bigger," she said. "I've been pretty much waiting for this the last couple of years.
"Just give it all I've got. I've already made it, give everything."
Athletes tend to spew out clichés after a highlight performance.
Not Brooks.
She practices what she preaches.
"Practice, makes perfect," she said. "I practiced quite a bit. Form, dry spinning."
It was during practices Fortuna coaches suggested adding a new wrinkle to Brooks' technique.
"I was sticking to most of same game plan (going into MOC)," Brook said. "Coaches were always trying to make me yell when I threw, but I'm not much of a yeller. I decided to grunt.
"And that got me the 132. That sure got me to a good place."
Gambrell had to overcome something more worrisome than technique at the MOC.
"Before MOC, I hurt my neck," she said. "I sprained it the day before. I wasn't able to throw until MOC and that was a little hard. But I got through it."
And if the going gets tough in Clovis today, the pair of Huskies will definitely have a shoulder to lean on.
"We practice together and she's always there to help me out," Brooks said of Gambrell. "Someone to calm me down. She tells me everything is going to be okay."
Gambrell echoed those sentiments.
"The trips aren't as easy without someone you know," she said. "Me and Lindsay started together, we're pretty close in the throwing area. I love having her with me."
Both also acknowledged they would not have made it to state if it wasn't for coaches Rod Kausen and Matthew Kelley.
"He made me push myself everyday at practice," Brooks said of Kelley. "Even when I was lazy and didn't want to do it, he always made me do it. I greatly appreciate that."
"I wouldn't have been here if it hadn't been for him (coach Kelley). He pushed me to be a thrower," Gambrell added.
Still, despite the coaching, practices and numbers put up at MOC, Brooks isn't oblivious to the fact she and the other H-DN athletes are facing California's best prep track and field athletes.
She may have placed first in the North Coast Section, however, Brooks is in the middle of the pack of the 26-thrower field in state.
"I actually saw the scores, and, where I stand, I'm ranked No. 15 right now," Brooks said. "From my 132 I have to throw about a good 10 feet to make top nine. And that will give me finals for Saturday."
A tall order, without question.
The top-ranked thrower is Stockdale senior Alex Collatz who launched her discus to a distance of 161-11. Gambrell currently sits at No. 25 in the field.
It's a similar story for the other H-DN athletes.
Laney is ranked No. 18 out of 27 throwers in the shot put. La Sierra senior Tanya Sapa sits up top with a throw of 44-07.25.
Moran sits at the No. 25 out of 30 athletes in the long jump. Teammate Gagliano is the 26th ranked thrower out of 27 in the discus.

Product Overview
- Advanced CLA, GLA & Omega Fatty Acid Complex
- Supports Weight Management
- Promotes Cardiovascular Health
- Supports Optimal Immune Health
- Dietary Supplement
Smart Blend is cutting edge, proprietary blend of "Smart Fats". We depend on dietary fats/lipids to make individual cell membranes and receptors (cell to cell communication) as well as hormone and immune messengers which regulate everything from cardiac and insulin function to inflammatory responses. Regular supplementation with Smart Blend ensures a more balanced lipid "pool" required for optimal whole body balance and function.
The effects of our "Standard American Diet" (SAD) has created an imbalance in this "pool" that has translated into dysfunctional system performance (ie. poor insulin function= poor glucose/energy utilization and greater fat storage). As we age, our production of critical lipid manufacturing enzymes decreases thereby rendering our body deficient in the fatty acids required for proper/optimal living. This precision mixture of omega-3 lipids (EPA & DHA) provides the necessary amounts to balance our bodies for optimal form and function.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring nutrient found in beef and dairy products, but it's difficult to get an effective amount of active CLA isomers through diet alone. CLA's health benefits have been well documented. CLA is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Furthermore, CLA has the ability to enhance immune health and support normal cholesterol levels.
Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is a necessary step in the production of "good" prostaglandins. Good prostaglandins support cardiovascular, joint and immune health, elicit powerful antioxidant activity as well as promote healthy blood glucose and blood pressure levels.
Smart Blend provides optimal support for reducing body fat, increasing muscle tissue recovery, balancing hormone production (such as testosterone and insulin) and promote optimal immune and cardiovascular health.
Suggested Use

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Police in California say an 8-year-old Fresno girl who was apparently abducted while playing in her front yard has been found safe.
Police spokesman Jeff Cardinale made the announcement Tuesday morning, about 11 hours after Elisa Cardenas disappeared and triggered a statewide Amber Alert.
Cardinale says authorities have detained a possible suspect.
Authorities say Elisa was playing with six other girls when a stranger approached them and managed to lure her into his truck. The vehicle was caught on surveillance video, and authorities found the suspect in the truck matching the description.
Cardinale says the little girl didn't appear to have any physical injuries but was being evaluated at the hospital.

gopihr Started The Discussion:
Dear friends, I need the detailed eligibility criteria for an employee for ESI contribution. Please suggest any special salary structure to safe guard from ESI authorities.
Madhu.T.K - Member Since: Sep 2007
ESI is applicable to factories employing 10 workers and other establishments employing 20.
Those drawing salary not more than Rs 10000 are covered.
The rate of employees' contribution is 1.75 % of salary and the employer's contribution is 4.75%
The salary is the sum paid in a month and all payments which are paid in regular intervals of not exceeding two months are considered. As such, Travelling Allowance is exluded from salary.
If you want to escape from ESI, you have to frame a salary structure above Rs 10000. BUT WHEN THE SALARY CEILING IS AGAIN REVISED BY THE GOVT. YOUR EMPLOYEES BECOME COVERED AND AT THAT TIME THE CONTRIBUTION PAYABLE WILL ALSO BE VERY HIGH.
For an employer it is always desirable to have ESI coverage because many compensation payable by the employer under the Workmen's Compensation Act, Maternity Benefit Act are taken on shoulder by the ESI Corporation aganist this 4.75% contribution payable by the employer to the ESIC.
manojcitehr - Member Since: Jul 2007
Dear Madhu,
Thanks for this valuable information.
Could you please illustrate ESI contribution is calculated on what part of salary. I mean to say Basic or Gross Salary or Net salary or CTC. could you please tell me also what components of salary is considered for ESIC calculation.
With best regards,
bn_banerjee - Member Since: Jun 2007
One clerificatioin is required. We have few employees who got retined on attaining age of 58 years. We had issued fresh letter to them for extension with a lumsum amount with no statutory obligation or Bonus, LTA etc.
For Pf they withdrawn their amount with no further obligation on company. Will they be covered under ESIC?
Hello Sir/Madam,
I want to learn about Payroll. Can anyone please tell me, How can we calculate the PF and ESI. I have little bit knowledge about it. PF is calculated on the basis of Basic and ESI is calculated on the gross salary.
But What is the procedure to calculate it. I have read it. but I could not able to understand it Properly.
Please help me.
shivinu22 - Member Since: Mar 2011
dear raj
For Pf 12% + 13.61 % from employer
For ESI 1.75% + 4.75% on gross which is not more than 15.000/- salary( employee who is getting the salary below 15000/-)
And PT as per state PT act.
and TDS as applicable

Affordable Care Act good deal for Indiana
What would be said of a businessperson who refused to engage in a transaction where an expenditure of each $2.60 would safely return between $14.30 and $26.40?
I all the time hear conservative Republican politicians saying that government should be run more like a business. Yet in Indiana, Gov. Mike Pence, has refused to engage in just such a transaction. But I'm not talking about several dollars; I'm talking about several billions.
Expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, Indiana would get between $14.3 billion and $26.4 billion in federal tax money for an expenditure of $1.7 billion to $2.6 billion in Indiana tax money. That's a great deal, and the only possible reason it's being refused is because conservative Republicans won't say yes because President Barack Obama wants it.
I don't think that a government should be run like a business, since it isn't. It should be run in a cost-efficient manner to provide necessary services to its citizens. I think that health care is necessary. The discussion above doesn't even consider the estimated 400,000 Hoosiers who would be covered under the Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid if Pence would simply agree to the more than 1000 percent return being offered. Among those 400,000 people, there will be many who will needlessly suffer and die without health care. That's what government should try to correct, even if it's not a good business deal.

Dukes Edwardsport fiasco continues to mushroom
Now that Duke Energy's Edwardsport plant is allegedly commercial, it's once again time to set the record straight.
Duke, along with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, continues to perpetuate the myth that the plant will result in just a 14.5 percent rate increase. This 14.5 percent represents only a portion of the financing costs. Additional financing costs of at least $320 million, as well as the actual construction costs currently capped at $2.595 billion, are not included.
Duke is already collecting about $30 million a month from ratepayers just for financing costs.
Duke claims its construction costs are capped at $2.595 billion, but that isn't accurate. Duke declared the plant in service on June 7, which effectively marks the end of this so-called cost cap. From this date forward, ratepayers can potentially be stuck with every dollar Duke spends on the plant, and there remains a lengthy list of items to be completed.
The IURC has declined to protect consumers by refusing to place any requirements on the Edwardsport plant. Despite this plant being a first-of-its-kind technology, if it doesn't work or operates at less than the 85 percent capacity factor that Duke estimated the plant will achieve, Duke ratepayers are stuck with the bill.
Duke indicates it will be another 15 months before the plant is expected to have its long-term level of availability. Duke has been less than forthcoming every step of the way with this boondoggle. Why should anyone believe them now?

LONDON (AP) - A fire at London's Park Lane Hilton hotel forced the evacuation of about 1,500 people. No injuries were reported.
Around 20 firefighters were sent to the hotel Friday after the fire department received reports of smoke in a second-floor kitchen vent and in the basement.
Park Lane has some of the British capital's ritziest hotels, and is across the street from Hyde Park.
