Paris - Thierry Henry considered ending his international career following the furore that surrounded his handball against Ireland in the World Cup playoff in Paris last Wednesday.Speaking to L'Equipe newspaper, the Barcelona striker said that he felt abandoned and alone in the days after the game which saw the French qualify for South Africa on the back of a goal set up by Henry's sleight of hand.Asked if he had considered calling time on his international career Henry replied: "Oh yes. On Friday when everything had gone too far."I was really upset, and not for the first time. After the World Cup in 2006, I considered that but it was too early."After Euro 2008 also but it was not the right moment. There was a new generation who needed me. It just wasn't possible."Despite everything that happened last week, the way I felt abandoned, I will never let my country down."Henry freely admitted at the end of the Ireland game that he had used his hand in setting up the French equaliser for William Gallas which was enough to send the Irish crashing out of the tournament in extra time.That led to calls from Ireland and from some sectors in France for the game to be replayed, but world governing body FIFA ruled out any such eventuality ahead of the World Cup draw which takes place in Cape Town on December 4.Henry, who himself said it would be best to replay the game, said that he felt great sympathy for the Irish having suffered a similar fate when playing for Arsenal against Liverpool in 2001 FA Cup final.He did regret having celebrated the goal but said that he had been taken up by the emotion of the moment in what had been a tense encounter."I shouldn't have done that, but quite honestly it was just out of my control," he said."It's true I regret it and that is why shortly afterwards I went to each Irish player to speak to them. After that we did not celebrate, not even in the dressing rooms."Asked if he thought the incident would leave a lasting stain on his career, Henry said. "Quite honestly no. I don't think that all I have achieved in my career up until now will be be spoiled by this."

It features grippy hybrid tyres and RST front suspension for soaking up the bumps, and you can even remotely lock out the forks when you're grinding up hills. Not that you'll need to do that much, thanks to the Pulse's Bafang Power Motor, which gives you extra torque for getting up any gradient, and you even get a substantial 80 miles of range from the lithium battery.

text: > But I can sympathise with those others out there who have an ex-whatever > out there who IF they could find the person whould *happily* beat them > bloody or kill them. Well, if I were really out to get somebody and I knew enough to know they were in the SCA and I knew enough to look for them in the on-line Black Star, I'd probably be creative enough to actually join the SCA and get a printed Black Star (or any of the other newsletters necessary) that does have phone numbers and/or addresses. If they're obsessed enough to beat/ kill somebody, I doubt the $35 membership/newsletter fee will stop them. This argument against on-line names/addresses is obviously weak, especially if you're going to publish this info elsewhere. If you're going to worry about your info getting out, don't take an office because your info can be found. It doesn't matter whether it's electronic or paper, it can be found. > people got my parents phone number from a flier that had listed me Exactly my point. This was, I assume, a "paper" flier? > This week past I got more than a dozen Ugly threatening phone calls. For $20 (and subscription to caller-ID) I got a box that lets me block out any number that has previously called (or reject all anonymous ones). Let's also have some common sense. Don't sit around in fear and hide from the world if you get prank-calls or you get harassed, wondering when it will happen again. Get your life back. Get the police involved and put an end to it. I've only seen one good reason posted for limiting information. And that didn't involve hiding names/addresses, it involved hiding specific event locations. The intent was to get the person who was interested in the event to make contact to attend. Upon initial contact, it would be explained what to expect and what to wear. I can see not wanting a bunch of people in jeans and T-shirts drinking from beer cans wandering around an event thinking it's another Scarborough Faire. Or others intending to participate in roll-playing games. Not that we don't want the public. As stated, we're an educational society. What good is an educational society if is is not willing to educate those who wish to learn? I enjoyed the printing press analogy. The printing press really posed a problem to those who controlled information in those days. There are many similarities between it's arrival and that of the internet. Obviously fear is one of them. We are a medieval recreation society. I guess fear of the unknown is one form of re-enactment... ;) -Karl von Augsburg __________________________________________________________________________ Joel Schumacher JCPenney Co. - UNIX Network Systems jschumac at uns-dv1.jcpenney.com 12700 Park Central Pl (972) 591-7543 Dallas TX 75251

I try to think of things to send to you that will make you laugh but always fall short because there is so much DRAMA around us all the time; now when i say drama I mean the good and bad types. Here is a portion of a note I wrote to my facebook fans on our Lucky Duck page several months ago.. hope it makes you smile just imaginging it. Last week my pot belly pigs kept getting out (escape artists) but then what pig in her right mind would want to stay cooped up in a pig pen??? Needless to say we had several escapades with them especially when Annie (Red Bone Coon Hound - 9 years old and with arthritis to boot) discovered she could howl like a coon dog does! She saw the pigs and the fun was on, while Annie was chasing them around, Zeke the blue heeler and Rocky the Aussie/Great Pyre mix was nipping at them chasing them this way and that; Brutus the English Mastiff and Jack the Beagle/Dachsund mix were barking and howling from the deck, the guineas were letting me know what was going on and I was bringing up the rear chasing the dogs that were chasing my pigs.. in amongst all the chaos of the day you could hear snort, squeel, oinks and me yelling "ANNIE NO, ZEKE STOP, ROCKY QUIT.. LILY, COME HERE LILY (sweetly) BRUTUS, JACK HUSH, DAMN IT JACK SHUT UP, ZEKE NO, ANNIE COME HERE etc... "
This went on for most of a couple of hours ( I might be stretching it a bit but I think you get the picture ) as soon as I got the pigs in, Lily would let them all out again. Talk about a LOUD LOUD place with every farm animal sound known to man. (neighbor has cows)
I texted my husband to come home, I was TIRED. I had suggested that he and his son go fishing for a few hours, so they did.. but by this time I was pretty crabby.. he said "soon" I said "NOW please" so when he came home it was dark, I was out trying to rig up the gate on the pigs, I forgot what he said to me but I came back and snapped at him (this was all his fault afterall)!
So I marched right past him and promptly stepped in a big mud hole in my crocs, my white socks were ruined.. talk about indignant.. "
So that is what i have been up too, how about you?
We have plenty of animals that need help, every penny is needed to buy food and hay. Can you please donate $1.00 to help us out with them?Our chipin link to help us out is at http://www.chipin.com/contribute/id/5fcdd47bebe49e2c
Thank you

My blog manager suggested I name these Cookie Dough Snickerdoodles but I had to veto that idea. It's true, they're soft and they almost literally melt in your mouth just like cookie dough, but I was worried that name might cause some confusion.
By the way, Brandon is my blog manager. According to him, at least, but we both know who's really in charge around here. ;)
Have you ever eaten a snickerdoodle? The first time I tried one was only a few years ago, when we lived in College Station, Texas. My boss at the time brought us a few from a place called Must Be Heaven and as soon as I bit into one, my eyes opened wide with astonishment. I couldn't believe what I'd been missing!
I went home dreaming of snickerdoodles and eventually set out to recreate a healthier version at home. I've made a few variations in the past but I decided to take it even further this time by trying them with gluten-free oat flour.
I also used coconut oil which resulted in a surprisingly buttery texture and flavor.
I know it seems silly to call a butter-less cookie buttery but I can't think of a better way to describe them. Creamy maybe?
Either way, I was very pleased with the result but I will say that I think chilling the dough is a necessary step. They tend to spread a lot so if you skip it then you might have an enormous and thin cookie on your hands.
If that's what you like then I say do-it-to-it but I prefer my cookies to be nice and thick with a soft center.
1 and 1/2 cups oat flour*
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup evaporated cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (could sub soymilk or coconut milk)
1/2 cup unrefined melted coconut oil or melted vegan butter
1/8 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon for rolling
- In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cream of tartar then sift together.
- Pour in the melted coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla extract then stir until a dough has formed.
- Cover and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This step helps to keep them from spreading out too much while cooking.
- Scooping out a few tablespoons of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and then coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place the cookies several inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper then chill the cookies for at least an hour in the refrigerator or thirty minutes in the freezer.
- When you are ready to bake them, preheat the oven to 350°F and remove the cookies from the refrigerator or freezer.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. It is difficult to tell when they are done because of the cinnamon coating but they should be done within that time. They will be very soft and appear under-baked but once they cool, they become harder. Allow to cool for at least thirty minutes.
*Be sure to use gluten-free oats for gluten allergies. You can also make your own oat flour by using a food processor to grind them down.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week. I found the cookies were better the next day since they are very soft on the first day.
Recipe adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie
What's your favorite kind of cookie to enjoy around the holidays?

Sadie is a wonderfully sweet girl! She was very timid, nervous and shy when she arrived. She wasn't even comfortable being hugged or kissed. She would tense up and try to run from anyone who tried to give her love. With lots of love and reassurance, she's learned to love, trust and be loved. And she enjoys it. What a transformation! Sadie is a 3-4 yr. old Treeing Walker Coonhound, English Coonhound, Greyhound mix who's calm, gentle, loving and such a good girl. She has the biggest most soulful eyes.
The founder of Dexter's Rescue Remedy was in a bad rollover accident on I-5 after hitting black ice and the rescue's transport vehicle was totaled. So, we are in desparate need of a van or similar vehicle to transport dogs from high-kill shelters and to adoption events. Please contact us by phone at 530-643-1694 or by email at email@example.com. If you or anyone you know would like to donate a vehicle or sell one for a low price. Please help us help the dogs. Dexter's Rescue Remedy is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is volunteer operated and relies solely on tax deductible donations to meet the dogs' and wolfdogs' needs. We always appreciate and need donations of dog food. Do you have opened bags of dog food or canned food that you no longer need? Well, we would love to have those bags or cans of food! Our rescue dogs aren't picky ....... they just LOVE to eat. We are also in need of meat, towels, blankets, collars, treats, toys, etc., as well as monetary. The dogs don't taste when meat is freezer burned. They're just happy to have it! Maybe you have blankets or towels that are old, faded, discolored, etc. We can put those to good use. You probably have toys laying around that your dog has become uninterested in ........ donate them to a good cause! Just slip us an email or phone call and we'll come and pick up your donated supplies. Or, bring 'em by! Then you could meet some of our wonderful dogs!
Dexter's Rescue Remedy is a non-profit dog and wolfdog rescue located in Northern California. Our rescue is named after the first hound rescued by our group. He was a large male Basset Hound named "Dexter" that was saved from a lonely existence in a backyard in Los Banos, CA. He was full of fleas and ticks, lethargic, anemic, filthy and emaciated. His toenails were so long that his dewclaws had grown into his dewclaw pads by 1/2" and were infected. He also had a lump at the base of his tail the size of a golf ball that his owner said she had never noticed. It took a few months, but we got Dexter all fixed up and finally found the perfect home for him. Dexter was treated like a king by his new family, taking nightly walks in the neighborhood and walks on the beach every weekend. He had such a special way about him that people were drawn to him and would stop to pet and talk about this exceptional boy. He loved attention and would groan while looking up adoringly at the person doling out the attention. Dexter's life was cut short by cancer at 9 years old. But, his two years with his new family were wonderful and probably the best he's ever known. Everyone will miss Dexter very much, but his legacy lives on in our rescue efforts every day. We rescue and rehome scent hounds such as Basset Hounds, Beagles, Bloodhounds, Plott Hounds, Black and Tan Coonhounds, Bluetick Coonhounds, etc., as well as Wolfdogs and some molosser breeds such as Mastiffs, Great Danes, St. Bernards. We also rescue a variety of other breeds, as well as mixed breeds. Our rescue dogs usually come from high kill shelters and, occasionally, owner surrenders as space permits. All of our rescued dogs and Wolfdogs enjoy spacious living areas with other dogs and are not confined to dog runs.
Please contact our rescue by phone or email to inquire about a dog and get an application. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Home checks are required to assure that your new friend will not end up in harms way and will be with you for a very long time. Don't worry if you live a distance from our location. We have people available throughout the US to help with home checks. We always have new dogs coming into our rescue. So, if you don't see the type of dog you are looking for, please check for availability either by phone or email.

Mike,Don't fuck with it anymore, the color of the car needs the toned down metallic that those SEs provide. I really liked the white Advans, but those SEs are damm near perfect! Looks like you anodized a set of nuts to color match?

New Volks coming soon.....
Thank you.
I do agree. I am really loving the current setup.
I tend to agree with your reasoning. I don't plan to ever get rid of these wheels, but I do have another set/color that I plan to rock at some point. But yea, I got essentially the perfect sizing of these wheels, which I have wanted for years, and after mounting the new Falken Azeni RT615Ks and messing with the ride height and stiffness, I am pretty damn close to being content.
As for the lug nuts, they are Wheel Mate Neo-Chrome lugs. the thing I like about them is that they are closed-end lugs (versus Kics, for example, which are open) which I want because I am using standard length studs, and I thought they looked great because only the faces or that green/teal color. The bodies of each lug are gold and purple. I like them, and they are very reasonably priced.
You are like the second person to say that. Oddly enough, I can't seem to remember who the first person was, but they were/are not really feelin' these and immediately told me that the white RGs looked better.
The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long after the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten
Volks are fire mike..
I like them better than the RGs as well.
Thanks man. And yea, it does tone down the whole car and gives it a different feel. So you like white wheels on the car? You are not alone man, I often contemplate various white finishes on different wheels and I intend to get a set or two of some wheels in white and rock them at a later time.
Anyway though, thank you very much for the kind words.
Volks are fire mike..
Good lookin' out man.
Yup! Thank you!
I like them better than the RGs as well.
Thanks bro.

it looks like two very classy women sunbathing in style!
They were hot, so they watched the waves and got a tan. Odd that they did not notice the three dead people behind them.
Ah you see.... they try to fool you, with their secret smiles, into noticing what they are sitting on rather than noticing the 3 bodies they left behind them in the sand. And it worked!

The Beautiful Junkyard Where Bolivia's Trains Were Left to Rot
- Thursday August 7, 2014
Abandoned decades ago, dozens of trains are slowly rusting to nothingness on the outskirts of the Bolivian desert.
Abandoned decades ago, dozens of trains are slowly rusting to nothingness on the outskirts of the Bolivian desert.
There are brighter days ahead for the NYC subway.
Facing competition from airlines and budget bus companies, Amtrak wants to offer better Wi-Fi.
Transit authorities in five states have ordered 32 new locomotives that are more efficient and faster than their predecessors. Ideally, they'll make for more reliable service, but they're not exactly what most people have in mind when they think of high-speed rail.
Brand new trains were delivered to Iraq for use on a popular railway route, another sign that the country is rebuilding the public transportation network that had fallen into disrepair over decades of neglect and war.
Adam Auxier is Station to Station's train producer–an energetic, affable guy who just happens to know pretty much everything there is to know about trains and their history.
It's currently the world's longest and fastest stretch of maglev train, reaching speeds as high as 310 mph in a demonstration last week. But Japan's L-Zero only lives on 15 miles of test track, and we're still a decade and a half away from completion.
Once seen as the public transit system of the future, Sydney's monorail is now a thing of the past.
An Amtrak train ran at 111 MPH on a 15-mile section of track between St. Louis and Chicago, ushering in a slight improvement in the U.S.'s high-speed rail system.

The Nelson County Board of Supervisors will meet Tuesday to discuss a proposed Dominion natural gas pipeline.
The pipeline would run from West Virginia to North Carolina while cutting through Nelson Co.
A group of residents have protested the project, saying it would negatively affect many farms, small business and conservation areas.
Dominion agreed to halt surveys until today, August 12, when they will present to the board of supervisors.

My Favorite Houston Restaurants, yours?
- Lambowner Dec 23, 2010 08:02 PM
All the review sites seem to be loaded with questionable fans, except for B4-u-eat.com. But that site doesn't provide much in the way of cumulative experiences (ex: stars). Here are my favs in Houston. I haven't been everywhere, these are just the places we go to over and over. All price ranges. What are yours?
Feast, for special day dinners, and bargain lunches, best everything, it's not all about the offal
Lopez Tex-Mex, since 1978 (best carnitas in Houston, without a doubt)
Rioja for tapas, no better anywhere, the garlic soup is a-freaking-amazing
Mexican Deli (of course) Poblano soup
Danton's Seafood for Louisiana style food, there is no equal, all of it
It's a tie for Thai: Thai Cottage on Westheimer and in Sugar Land (various locations) for the best pad thai and seriously crazy good "spicy wings of paradise", and the other one is Nit Noi (various locations) for whole fried fish. *Shudder*
There you go, start!
6560 Fannin St, Houston, TX 77030
11920 Westheimer Rd Ste J, Houston, TX 77077
Nit Noi Cafe
4703 Richmond Ave Ste A, Houston, TX 77027
"Tie for Thai" ? Like it !
I probably haven't been to enough Houston restaurants to come up with a list - and I don't mean to hijack your thread to discuss dead restaurants - but one of my favourites in town used to be Rotisserie for Beef and Bird. They did a great job with game and had a wonderful duck confit. Terrific wine list, too. One mediocre review from Alison Cook and they were out of business six months later. To be fair, the quality had dipped slightly in their final couple of years but I was still sad to see it go.
re: FarleyFlavors
Next time you're in town, FarleyFlavors, go to Bistro Le Cep on Westheimer @ Wilcrest. It's the same owner/chef that owned Beef and Bird. Joe Manke. We recently got his new book, "Wanderlust: The LIfe of a Globetrotting Chef" as a gift. I didn't read the Alison Cook article, but we were there just before Beef and Bird closed. A friend visiting from London wanted to go, he had heard about it in the UK. We had dined there several times over the previous years. The food was okay, but we were puzzled to be the only party in the restaurant. The food at Le Cep is very good. Friday nights are often theme nights, such as "Maine lobster bake night" and on those nights, reservations are required.
Bistro Le Cep
11112 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77042
I think I'd go for the "Telephone Thai" Kanomwan on Telephone Road. Now, for Indian, it has to be either Sabr Nihari i at Hillcroft anf 59 - cheap but delicious Pakistani - great $10 buffet - or Indika - more expensive and upscale but you could take a fancy date there - I love their vegetarian sampler plate.
Ok, far from a comprehensive list, and in no particular order, but here goes:
- Kata Robata - hands down my favorite place to go out in Houston
- Uchi
- Goode Company Seafood
- Thien An
- Chapultapec - can't be beat for late late night texmex munchies
- Catalan
- Max's Wine Dive
- Beaver's
- Mardi Gras Grill
- Branch Water Tavern (they deserve that ranking by GQ for their toffee pudding!)

re: grbroderick
Make that Umai, not Uchi!
re: air
No, but I am pretty close to Vieng Thai, we'll try that next! We tend to go back again and again for specific dishes that places excel at. With Thai food, I get grumpy around curries that have dry white meat chicken chunks in it. This seems to be a common error in Thai places. What do you recommend there?
Vieng Thai
6929 Long Point Rd, Houston, TX 77055
re: Lambowner
Another common error is that everything is usually too sweet. Unfortunately travel for work has been quite busy and it's been over a year since I've been to V's, and at least 4+ for Vieng Thai. I can't comment on anything specific since the menus may be different compared to back then.
kagemusha: I can see where you're going with that statement. Lotus of Siam has a few key strengths: Issan-regional cuisine, the wine program, and the overall refined dining experience. All of that considered makes LOS so different from a typical Thai restaurant, which makes it tough to make a meaningful comparison against say, Jitlada in L.A. or Sripraphai in Queens.
re: air
I agree that Nit Noi is a total waste of time. Still you ought to check out the telephone thai (kanomwan) - it is pretty darn good (the owner died a few months ago but his daughter is carrying on the tradition well) - it is not as good as Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas but then there is no Thai restaurant in the USA that can compare with Lotus
Favs in Houston. Let's see:
BBQ is Piersons, though I eat at Luling a fair amount due to their exceptional sauce. I'll never eat at Gaitlin's as the wait was absolutely insane the two times I've been. Which is a shame, as the que is very good, but no need in my mind to wait over an hour for togo barbque. Serious front of the house problems there. And a nod to Beavers for the great drinks, though I don't enjoy the food.
Thai at Vieng Thai. The only thing I wish was that the menu ever changed. No specials, no additions in the five years I've been going.
Burgers at Rockwell Tavern. Best I've had, though I haven't made it to Burger Guys yet.
Breakfast tacos at Villas Arcos. A must do trip in my opinion for anyone out of town (along with Spec's). The bacon super really is super...
Seafood: I'm still quite fond of Goode Company Seafood (the only Goode Company concept I like), as the things I enjoy there (Campechana, Flounder poboy) are exceptional. Reef is great as well.
Italian: I tend towards Da Marco or Sorrento.
Brunch: Hugo's. Best in the city in my opinion.

Feast's 3 course lunch. In general, I haven't found an experience comparable to what is offered there. I think I always have to eat there every time I'm in town.
Vietnamese deserves its own header:

Pho: Pho Binh or Pho One

Lebanese: Arpi's Phoenicia Deli, Abdallah's
Seafood: Captain Tom's boat in Katy. And of course, Reef.
Burger: Spicy 2x2 at Tornado Burger. Nod to the burger at Petrol Station too. Honestly there are a lot of burger places I like in Houston.
BBQ: Brisket at Boogie's.
Watering holes for beer geeks like me: Petrol, Anvil, Katy Pub Hub.

Can't forget about Feast's Happy Hour...
Christian's Tailgate has my burger love. I must have been to Burger Guys on an "off" day and It'll be hard to go back there. Definitely Fung's Kitchen for Chinese! How could I forget? And Branch Water Tavern is a new favorite for fish & chips and chicken fried oysters. I haven't found any BBQ in Houston that I like, but will drive to Richmond for the brisket at The Swinging Door.

I like a lot of variety so I tend to have favorite dishes rather than favorite restaurants; I like to move around a lot and sample a lot of different cuisines so I seldom hit any restaurant more than 3 or 4 times a year.
Burger - Oh My Pocket Pies! (Truck) - grass-fed beef burger on a fresh baked Krafts'men bun
BBQ - I'll have to pass - Boogie's isn't turning out Q as good since their fire, BBQ Done Right (trailer) up on Laura Koppe is too far away, too limited hours, and too depressing a neighborhood, Gatlin's isn't deserving of all the hype and buzz it's getting. Haven't been to Pierson's in some time - grew to dislike the mesquite smoked meats.
Indian/Vegetarian - Shri Balaji Bhavan on Hillcroft, Sweet n Namkin on W. Bellfort,
Pakistani/Northern Indian - Himalaya
Afghani - Afghan Cuisine on Hwy 6 - the cuisine shares a lot with Persian and Indo/Pak but I consider this in competition with our Persian restaurants and I like this one best. The room isn't as nice, the staff not as polished (and it's a lot farther out) than Kasra, Caspian, or Bijan, but I like the food better
Ethiopian - Sheba - for the wots and coffee, Blue Nile has better injera and the coffee ceremony
Taqueria - Gerardo's on Patton, Huarache Azteca Express in Stafford
Gourmet food truck: Melange Creperie, H-townstrEATS
Food trucks not Mexican, not gourmet - El Punto Criollo (Venezuelan), El Mofongo Boricua (Puerto Rican), Tandoori Nite (Indo/Pak) - all on Highway 6
Food Store - Phoenicia
Fried Chicken - Just Oxtails on Reed Road, Friday and Sunday only; also for soul food generally
Brazilian - Emporio for the Feijoada, Empanadas de Cameron or Palmita and Xingu (Schwarzbier)
Banh mi - Tan Ba Le on Beechnut, Paris Sandwich Café on Bellaire
Filipino - Jonathan's Grill, Pampanga's
Birria de chivo - Trudi's
Tamales - Tex-Mex - Alamo on Navigation
Mexican - Oaxacan Meat Mkt, Dickinson
Salvadoran - La Pupusa Alegre on Bellaire
Argentinian - Argentina Café on Hidalgo for sandwiches de migas, matambre, and chorripan more than the empanadas, Manana's on Westheimer for the sandwiches de migas and alfajores. Maybe some of the other pastries at Manena's deserve praise but I find it hard to pass up the alfajores. I did not care for their baked empanadas.
Turkish - Pasha in the Village

UPDATE: Workshop Plans Have Been Finalized
Only 2 spaces left! Information/Registration
Many of you (but probably not all) know that I'm doing most of my communicating on my Facebook page these days, rather than through this blog. I find Facebook works better for real time information exchange. The responses on Facebook are more immediate and more numerous. Not long ago I posted the following: "I am trying to decide IF, WHEN and WHERE to teach my 6-Day Master Cane (Kaleidoscope Pendant Intensive) Workshop in 2015. If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know."
Within a few days I had nearly a hundred responses. People not only encouraged me to hold a workshop, they told me where they wanted it to be held. Florida was the winner by a substantial majority (see votes at the end of this post.) I have made some tentative plans for a workshop in Florida. I'm posting the information here because some of you might not be following me on Facebook.
These are the tentative plans. The workshop will be held in a large vacation home (8 bedrooms) in historic Tarpon Springs, on the gulf coast of Florida.
Dates: Sat Nov 7, 2015 through Friday Nov. 14 (7 Nights)
Location: Tarpon Springs, FL
Workshop Fee: $660. Clay will be provided.
Lodging for 7 nights $250 double/triple, $350 single.
½-day break in the middle of the week to enjoy the area.
Lodging details
- 8 Bedroom, 4 Bath house with lots of amenities
- 2 Heated Swimming Pools
- A short walk to the beach, marina and a restaurant
- 2 kitchens. (We will prepare our own meals and occasionally eat out.)
If you don't use Facebook and you would like to get updates on plans for this workshop please post a comment here.

Afghan Vice President Dies; Indian Supreme Court: Deadline for Convicted Lawmakers; Pakistani Drought
Bonus read: 2 Star-Crossed Afghans Cling to Love, Even at Risk of Death, Rod Norland (NYT)
Vice President Dies
Vice President Muhammad Qasim Fahim, 57, died on Sunday from an undisclosed illness, less than a month before elections (NYT, Post, WSJ, Pajhwok, Aljazeera, RFE/RL). Fahim, a former warlord who was crucial in ousting the Taliban, was a leader of the country's ethnic Tajik minority and was influential in helping Afghan President Hamid Karzai gain the support of northern warlords and Afghan Tajiks. Fahim parlayed his success as a commander during the Soviet occupation in the 1980s into a position of power within the government, ascending the ranks in spite of protests from many that his record was less than perfect; he was often accused of drug trafficking, corruption, and human rights abuses. But Fahim was expected to play an important role in Afghanistan's transition after the American military withdrawal this year by helping the Afghan administration navigate ethnic politics and maintain security. President Karzai has declared three days of national mourning for Fahim; his funeral ceremony will take place on Tuesday in Kabul.
Taliban threatens elections
The Taliban has warned Afghans not to participate in next month's presidential elections and told them to stay away from voting booths, saying it will use "all force at its disposal" to disrupt the vote in a statement issued on Monday (Reuters, Aljazeera, RFE/RL). The statement said the elections were a "sham" and that "casting ballots and participation is considered assistance of the Kuffar [infidels] and their stooges against Islam." Dozens of Afghan security forces and civilians were killed on the day of the 2009 presidential election.
Skip the Crowds (and militants) next ski season
Bamian, Afghanistan, a mountain town situation at 9,000 feet is best known for its ancient Buddhas that the Taliban destroyed but is becoming a ski destination for international tourists (NYT). East Horizon, a private airline, offers fliers a safer way to get to central Afghanistan's mountains by bypassing insurgent checkpoints on the roads. The two year-round hotels, the Noorband Qala and the Highland, offer about 30 rooms between them now, but two new hotels are scheduled to open in 2014 and Bamian will boast rooms for up to 300 tourists. Alison Tigg, a railway surveyor from London who was in the region recently, praised the town and its lack of crowds, saying "because there are not a lot of tourists, you just melt into it a bit more" and added that the bragging rights that come with a trip to a country at war are an added bonus.
Supreme Court sets deadline for trial of convicted lawmakers
India's Supreme Court on Monday ordered that trials of Indian lawmakers convicted of serious crimes must be completed within a year, in an effort to expedite proceedings against sitting members of parliament and legislative assemblies (The Hindu, Times of India, Indian Express, BBC). A bench headed by Justice R.M. Lodha ruled that trial courts that do not complete trials within a year will have to submit explanations to the Chief Justice of the respective high court. The Chief Justice of the high court can choose to extend this period, according to the decision.
The Supreme Court ruled last year that sitting officials found guilty of offenses carrying a jail term of at least two years should be barred from elections. Many trials against lawmakers have been kept pending for years, however, allowing members of parliament and assembly to continue to serve despite facing corruption and criminal cases. According to the Association for Democratic Reforms, an election watchdog, 1,460 serving lawmakers across India currently face criminal charges.
Election Commission regulates social media spending
India's Election Commission has issued a set of rules to govern how candidates and political parties use social media, bringing political activity on sites such as Wikipedia, Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook under its purview (Indian Express). The Election Commission ruled that candidates should provide details on any "authentic social media accounts" in the affidavit they submit when they are nominated for office.
Candidates will also be required to ensure that all political ads they released to any internet-based media or social media website have been pre-certified by the EC-appointed Media Certification and Monitoring Committees at district and state levels. In addition, candidates using social media to campaign will be required to include all spending on social media ads in the final statement of expenditure for candidates and parties, as stipulated by the Representation of the People Act of 1951. The provisions of the moral code of conduct will also apply for the first time to content posted online by candidates and political parties.
The Centre for Media Studies estimates that Indian politicians may spend around $5 billion on campaigning for elections next month, triple the expenditure in the last national poll in 2009 (NDTV). The sum would be second only to the $7 billion spent by candidates, parties, and support groups in the 2012 U.S. presidential race, the world's most expensive election to date.
Indo-U.S. energy dialogue commences
U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz arrived in India on Monday to begin a three-day dialogue on energy with his counterpart Montek Singh Ahluwalia, the deputy chairman of India's planning commission (The Hindu). The talks are expected to address issues including the security and supply of strategic oil reserves, South Asia regional energy integration, and the civilian use of nuclear energy. New Delhi is expected to seek a waiver on legacy investments in the upstream oil and gas sector, including in shale gas, in Sudan and other countries sanctioned by the United States. India is also interested in exports of liquefied natural gas from the United States (Reuters).
Moniz's visit was planned for January, but was delayed after a diplomatic conflict erupted between India and the United States over the arrest and handcuffing of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in New York.
Wearing pants does not amount to cruelty, says Bombay court
The Bombay High Court ruled that refusal to have sex with a spouse during a honeymoon does not amount to cruelty and thus is not adequate grounds for divorce (NDTV). A wife occasionally wearing shirts and pants to the office and going out of town for work also do not amount to cruelty toward her husband, the court ruled.
The court was hearing an appeal filed by a 29-year-old wife whose husband had sought divorce on the grounds of cruelty. "The married life should be assessed as a whole and a few isolated instances over certain period will not amount to cruelty," justices V K Tahilramani and P N Deshmukh wrote in their decision.
--Ana Swanson
Drought in Tharparker
A report submitted by the chief secretary of Sindh in the Supreme Court during the hearing of Tharparkar suo motu notice case said a total of 67 deaths of infants and children occurred in the last three months in the Thar desert (ET, DAWN). The number, which is lower than those cited by news agencies that estimates the death toll is closer to 125, have been attributed to pneumonia, sepsis, birth asphyxia, and malnutrition resulting from poor living conditions brought on by drought (DAWN). Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced an aid package work Rs1 billion ($16 million) for the area to help bring relief in the form of food and better health care access (ET). The Thar Desert begins 200 miles from Karachi and runs to the border with India. Livestock, the economic mainstay of Tharparker, is dying because of the famine, too.
High-risk polio campaign
Health workers administered polio vaccines to thousands of children amid tight security on Sunday, the first day of the new polio drive aimed at Karachi's 24 high-risk areas (ET). The campaign is scheduled for every Sunday for the next four weeks and will target areas of Karachi that are both highly dangerous to health workers and highly sensitive to the polio virus. Certain measures, such as outfitting each vaccination team with a security detail and imposing a 10-hour ban on motorcycle traffic on Sundays, are being taken to try to lessen the security risk. A separate campaign in Balochistan that will span five districts began Monday and will last three days (ET).

Some of the most popular art instruction books ever written have been based on student notes culled over the years from actual workshop sessions, with all their power and immediacy - and with practical, on-to-one contact between student and teacher. This is such a book. For more than two years, Linda Cateura has pursued teacher / artist David A. Leffel, notebook in hand, as he critiqued the work of students. Linda Cateura's succinct notes capture his insights, philosophy, painting hints, and general comments.
Leffel's classic, painterly, twentieth-century old master style, much in the manner of Rembrandt or Chardin, affords ample illustration of the ideas expressed - through his many paintings, details, demonstrations, and diagrams, almost all in color.
No matter what your level of ability, there is something here to apply to your own work, ideas that will cause you to rething your own ways of painting, hints to save you effort, or solutions to persistent painting problems.

Nuclear plant near Rockford loses power, vents steam to cut pressure
Sun-Times Media Wire and ASSOCIATED PRESS January 30, 2012 2:23PM
Updated: March 1, 2012 9:46AM
BYRON, Ill. — A nuclear reactor at a northern Illinois plant shut down Monday after losing power, and steam was being vented to reduce pressure, according to officials from Exelon Nuclear and federal regulators.
Unit 2 at Byron Generating Station, about 95 miles northwest of Chicago, shut down at 10:18 a.m., after losing power, Exelon officials said. Diesel generators began supplying power to the plant, and operators began releasing steam to cool the reactor from the part of the plant where turbines are producing electricity, not from within the nuclear reactor itself, officials said.
The steam contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, but federal and plant officials insisted the levels were safe for workers and the public.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission declared the incident an "unusual event," the lowest of four levels of emergency. Commission officials also said the release of tritium was expected.
Exelon Nuclear officials believe a failed piece of equipment at a switchyard caused the shutdown. The switchyard is similar to a large substation that delivers power to the plant from the electrical grid and that takes power from the plant to the electrical grid. Officials were still investigating the equipment failure.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng said officials can't yet calculate how much tritium is being released. They know the amounts of tritium are small because monitors around the plant aren't showing increased levels of radiation, she said.
Tritium molecules are so small that tiny amounts are able to pass from radioactive steam from the reactor into the water used to cool the turbines and other equipment outside the reactor. The steam that was being released was coming from the turbine side.
The amount of releasing steam helps "take away some of that energy still being produced by nuclear reaction but that doesn't have anywhere to go now." Even though the turbine is not turning to produce electricity, she said, "you still need to cool the equipment."
Tritium is relatively short-lived and penetrates the body weakly through the air compared to other radioactive contaminants.
Candace Humphrey, Ogle County's emergency management coordinator, said county officials were notified of the incident as soon as it happened and that public safety was never in danger.
"It was standard procedure that they would notify county officials," she said. "There is always concern. But, it never crossed my mind that there was any danger to the people of Ogle County."
Unit 1 was operating normally while engineers investigate why Unit 2 lost power, which comes into the plant from the outside power grid, Mitlyng said. Smoke was seen from an onsite station transformer, she said, but no evidence of a fire was found when the plant's fire brigade responded.
Mitlyng said Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors were in the control room at Byron and in constant contact with the agency's incident response center in Lisle, Ill.
In March 2008, federal officials said they were investigating a problem with electrical transformers at the plant after outside power to a unit was interrupted.
In an unrelated issue last April, the commission said it was conducting special inspections of backup water pumps at the Byron and Braidwood generating stations after the agency's inspectors raised concerns about whether the pumps would be able to cool the reactors if the normal system wasn't working. The plants' operator, Exelon Corp., initially said the pumps would work but later concluded they wouldn't.

Douglas Jones/USA TODAY
Experience matures us.
We hope to learn from our mistakes and become smarter as we get older. All we can do is move forward and reflect on the lessons learned from the past.
Dwight Howard, who will make his second return to Orlando in another team's uniform later this week, has certainly done that. He spent a dradful year filled with rumors he never put to rest and indecision he could never overcome in that final year in Orlando. He was both hero for playing things out and seemingly giving Orlando every chance and then villain as it became clear the Magic could not deliver for him and he would pack his things and leave.
On the court, his lone year in Los Angeles was a disaster. He handled his free agency business better — there was one more report of indecision as he flew back to L.A. to inform Jim Buss he would sign with the Rockets instead of the Lakers — and he has quietly gone about his business for a suddenly resurgent Rockets team.
The media during the trade deadline and certainly now afterward are building the case for Carmelo Anthony to do much the same thing Howard did and bolt New York for greener pastures as the Knicks devolve into complete chaos.
Howard spoke to Sam Amick of USA TODAY and revealed he is giving some advice to Anthony as he handles his free agency. Howard said this on the record:
If you don't win, you're not going to get all the (off-court) stuff you want anyway. I saw that last year (in Los Angeles). I was in the biggest market for the NBA, and we lost, so those (companies) aren't going to be coming to you for losing.
When I was in Orlando, a small market, and we were winning. I was very popular with a lot of different deals on the table. So it's moreso about winning, and you've got to put yourself in a position to where you're winning basketball games and you're having fun doing it. Losing is not fun, and Melo wants to win.
This is the part where Magic fans say, "Duh."
These were many of the arguments Orlando fans put up to defend their city and their franchise. Winning cures all ills. Of course, that Magic team Howard left was not going to be winning much. And despite rumorsconnecting Orlando to several stars, Howard and Otis Smith never could deliver on them. That championship potential was left unrealized.
As an exercise in maturity and mending the bridges with one of the great players in the team's history, this is certainly a positive sign. Howard appears to be admitting some mistake in assuming Brooklyn or Los Angeles would be greener pastures for him off the court. Really it is on-the-court success that drives interest and marketing opportunities.
Howard will return to Orlando on Wednesday with the Rockets. It is still unclear whether the Magic will air a highlight package for Howard during the first quarter as they have for former Magic players travelling through the NBA. Howard will most likely still get roundly booed.
After all, the Magic may have made out best in the Dwight Howard deal as they go through this rebuild. But you never win when you trade a player of Howard's talent. The franchise has had to spend the last two seasons clearing the decks and sitting at the bottom of the standings.
The venom should be less than it was last year against the Lakers. And it will decrease with each time Howard visits Orlando in another team's colors. Eventually Howard will be welcomed back and recognized as one of the franchise's greatest.
Time has the benefit of providing perspective.
