Best of Toronto
The Best New Fashion Stores in Toronto, 2009
When it comes to the Toronto fashion scene, 2009 was the year of the homegrown designer - almost half the stores on this list are mainly stocked with Canadian lines.
The demand is there for local talent, and designers are obliging--the stores on this list have everything from vintage fabric earrings (Coal Miner's Daughter) and recycled leather purses (Imelda and Black Daffodil) to handmade tees (Shared) and Lundstrom LaParkas (eleven).
Many boutiques are also carrying beautiful contemporary lines that can hold their own among American and European brands - look for Label at Chasse Gardee, Dace at Vocado, Sui Generis at Coal Miner's Daughter, and Joeffer Caoc at eleven.
Canadian designers can compete with the best of 'em, and it's wonderful to see that Toronto's shopowners trust that our city's fashion fiends are finally buying local and loving it.
Here are the 15 best new fashion stores to open in Toronto during 2009, as voted by readers of this site.
The Best New Clothing Stores in Toronto, 2008
The Best Eyeglasses in Toronto
The Best Shoe Stores in Toronto
Coal Miner's Daughter
Mirvish Village is a somewhat unlikely spot for a new clothing store, but Coal Miner's Daughter has doubly bucked the odds by opening a shop that offers handmade pieces that are both stylish and very affordable. Favorite brands include reworked cheesy nature shirts from Clementine & Tweed ($35), Sui Generis rompers and cocktail dresses ($100), and Biko jewelry ($25-$70). More »
Leigh & Harlow
Streetwear labels like Something Else, Full Circle, and Free People crowd the racks at Queen's Leigh & Harlow, which also stocks plenty of high-end denim from the likes of William Rast, Joe, J Brand, True Religion, and Paige Premium Denim ($98-$279). The shop also carries a lot of Mink Pink, one of the best budget-friendly lines out there. More »
Poor Little Rich Girl
Yonge and Eglinton might have your next party frock. Poor Little Rich Girl is dress-obsessed. Betsey Johnson, Nicole Miller, and BCBG by Max Azria numbers sit prettily alongside more edgy offerings by Voom and Dolce Vita. I also dig 442 McAdam's bags and clutches ($260-$440). More »
Frock owner Cathryn Dajka opened a shoe store on Roncesvalles, bringing together fashion and function in the sensible footwear from brands like Miz Mooz, Fly London, Bos & Co., and El Naturalista. You'll look cute strolling down Roncy in Irregular Choice wedges or Hunter wellies. More »
Black Daffodil
Up-and-coming Canuck brands are the ones to watch at this new Junction store that specializes in simple streetwear and retro-inspired dresses. If you want to buy local, seek out NaMoDa's handpainted scarves ($35), recycled leather purses from Baggage ($240), everyday tops by Hypercube ($69-$98). More »
Tucked away in the labyrinthine Liberty Village is Vocado, one of the better-edited stores in the city. Showing a real dedication to this country's talent, the clothes here are dead chic but easy to wear - this is where you'll find lne, Dace, Lily & Jae, and Mackage. More »
For those who want some kick-ass clothes, Yorkville seems an unlikely destination, but the boys at Serpentine are determined to bring a little rock-and-roll to this fair city, courtesy of jewelry lines like Lazaro and Luke Satoru, and clothing from Damir Doma, Diet Butcher Slim Skin, Tuesday Night Band Practice, Wolverine and Passarella Death Squad. More »
Silver Falls
Silver Falls on Ossington is one of those refreshingly unpretentious vintage stores that make me grin with their laidback service and surprise gems. Many keepers have been found here, from leather drawstring ankle booties ($60) and a Kelly-green Valentino crossover sweater with gold buttons ($124) to a hunting pattern Ralph Lauren skirt ($32) and a massive hammered-copper belt ($60). Pssst - don't forget to check out the $5 and $10 bins! More »

I think Usman has a much stronger will and hasnt emailed me because he is forever mad at me and I dont really care. I can deal with that because I DID promise myself I would forget him and move on with my plain life. So, here I am again typing in this thing. I must tell you...If you were/are in love with someone for at least 5 years, just know that it will be hard to forget about them if thats your ultimate plan. I never thought it would end this way though...with Usman I mean. I seriously thought we would end up marrying each other and live happily ever after. I guess that sort of thing only happens once in a lifetime. So, I didnt happen and now I find myself trying to forget him, but yet Im still online waiting to see if he comes online. Im so fucking weird. I need to just grow up I suppose. Hes not worth it. Hes already proved that much about himself. He only cares about spending time with me now and even using me. I thought he was a gentleman and he proved that wrong for himself too. Life sucks. I should have realized that a long time ago. Instead Im just learning it now.Im going through so much shit right now its not even funny. My mom is slowly dying and it hurts to even look at her. If you live with seeing someone a certain way for 18-19yrs and they suddenly change from that way...it can really hurt and it hurts me. God help her.OH GOD! Usman has signed online. Im doomed for sure. What shall I do? I will not Instant Message him. He must talk to me first. Thats it. Friendly talking and nothing more.

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem recently announced that it is digitizing more than 80,000 manuscripts by Albert Einstein and making them publicly available via its Einstein Archives Online site. According to this FOX News article:
The portal now offers a close look at an initial 2,000 documents, or 7,000 pages total, from Einstein's personal and public life up to the year 1921. In the coming years, archivists will slowly upload the remainder of the collection.
As someone who has long been interested in making great works of literature and science available online for free (I've helped make literally hundreds of works available through Project Gutenberg, mostly in participation with the Distributed Proofreaders project), this development has me downright giddy. Even knowing that I will never be able to read most of it, and I'll probably be unable to understand much of the part accessible to me, I am thrilled simply knowing that whoever has the time, inclination and capability to read the thoughts of this absolutely incredible man can do so.
I say this knowing that, beyond the realm of science, I disagree with many of Einstein's thoughts. His social, economic and political views ranged from egalitarian to New-World-Order-ish. Nevertheless, where his ideas may have been faulty — and in some cases, astonishingly simplistic — his expression of them was frequently beautiful and concise. Take this passage from a short essay briefly titled "Science and Civilization":
We are concerned not merely with the technical problem of securing and maintaining peace, but also with the important task of education and enlightenment. If we want to resist the powers which threaten to suppress intellectual and individual freedom we must keep clearly before us what is at stake, and what we owe to that freedom which our ancestors have won for us after hard struggles.
Without such freedom there would have been no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Newton, no Faraday, no Pasteur and no Lister. There would be no comfortable houses for the mass of the people, no railway, no wireless, no protection against epidemics, no cheap books, no culture and no enjoyment of art for all. There would be no machines to relieve the people from the arduous labor needed for the production of the essential necessities of life. Most people would lead a dull life of slavery just as under the ancient despotisms of Asia. It is only men who are free, who create the inventions and intellectual works which to us moderns make life worth while.
Here's hoping many more gems like this will be found among his manuscripts.

WTOP Caps Blog
The five reasons behind the Caps' 7-0-0 season start
Posted on: Thursday 10/27/2011 10:27am
Ben Raby, wtop.com
WASHINGTON -- For the tenth time since Bruce Boudreau was named Capitals head coach in Nov. 2007, the Caps are on a winning streak of at least five games. The Capitals have opened the 2011-12 season with seven straight wins -- the best start in franchise history -- as they now take their perfect record to western Canada with games Thursday in Edmonton and Saturday in Vancouver.
Only five teams in NHL history have won more than seven games to begin a season, with the 1993-94 Toronto Maple Leafs and 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres sharing the all-time mark at 10-0-0. Both teams advanced to the conference finals before losing to the eventual Stanley Cup finalists.
In Washington, the Capitals' hot start is being met with cautious optimism as the four-time defending Southeast Division champions have been known to dominate the regular season, only to fall short in the playoffs. But the Caps can be excused if they're beginning to develop a healthy swagger, not so much because of how many games they've won, but more so because of how they're winning them.
Compared to years past, the Capitals are less dependent on two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin whose three goals and seven points this season leave him on the outside of the NHL's top-30 scorers.
Instead, the Capitals are succeeding with solid goaltending, a healthy crop of defensemen, fast starts from a pair of Swedish centers, depth up front and an improved power play.
Below are five reasons for the Capitals 7-0-0 start:
Tomas Vokoun:
Since backing up Michal Neuvirth in the Caps' season opener and then allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 6-5 shootout win over Tampa Bay, Vokoun has been the Caps' undisputed No. 1 goalie.
Vokoun called his Capitals debut his worst start in five years, but the 35-year-old Czech has rebounded nicely, stopping 164 of 170 shots (.965 save percentage) in the five games since.
With Neuvirth having been sidelined the past five games with a bruised right foot, the timing of Vokoun's strong play could not have been better.
For the season Vokoun is 6-0-0 with a 1.80 goals-against-average and .944 save percentage. He was also named the NHL's third star of the week Monday after wins over Florida, Philadelphia and Detroit.
"He's been unbelievable -- so fun to play in front of," defenseman Mike Green says. "He battles so hard even when guys are in front of him; He's making those extra saves. He's just been outstanding. I don't want to pump him up too much, but it's a pleasure to play in front of."
With Neuvirth healthy again, Boudreau plans to start each of his goalies once on the two-game road trip.
A healthy and deep set of defensemen:
When General Manager George McPhee acquired defenseman Dennis Wideman at last year's Trade Deadline, the idea was that at some point Wideman would join Green and John Carlson to form arguably the NHL's best trio of right-handed puck-moving defensemen.
Injuries though, first to Green (concussion) and then to Wideman (leg hematoma), kept them from ever playing in the same game last season. Seven games into the 2011-12 campaign and the Caps have a better appreciation of what they were missing last spring.
"It's great to have a healthy Mike, he's very sharp with the puck and makes a lot of things happen," Mike Knuble says. "With Wideman, when he arrived last year when (Green) went down, he was tremendous at quarterbacking everything and it was big when he went out of our lineup too. That was a big hole."
Both Green and Wideman have scored overtime game-winning goals this season, with Green matching a career-high four points in Saturday's win over Detroit, and Wideman tying a career-high with a seven-game point streak (two goals, five assists).
"I guess it's more important to say how much we missed him last year," Boudreau says of Wideman, "and nobody realized how much we missed him when he was out."
Washington defensemen have combined for 21 points in seven games and are a combined plus-22 during the winning streak.
Contributions from Swedish centers Backstrom and Johansson:
Both Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson had plenty of incentive to do well at the start of the season and so far both have answered the bell.
Backstrom is coming off a career-low 65 points (including a career-low 22 power play points), and was held to just two assists (and no goals) in nine playoff games last spring.
Through seven games this season, Backstrom is the Caps leading scorer with 10 points (including a team-high 7 points on the power play) and his natural playmaking abilities are a big reason for the Caps improved play with the man advantage.
The sophomore Johansson, 21, was a healthy scratch in the Caps season opener, but has since solidified his position as the Capitals' No. 2 center. Johansson is tied with Jason Chimera for the team lead with four goals, and the Swede's three game-winning goals are a league best.
Depth among forwards:
Nowhere is the Capitals lessened dependency on Ovechkin more evident that in the early season distribution of ice time.
While Ovechkin leads all Caps forwards averaging 18:45 of ice time per game, the Caps captain has never averaged lower than 21:18 in any of his six NHL seasons.
That could change this year given the play of the Capitals third and fourth lines combined with Boudreau's wish to balance his superstars' minutes.
"If you look at the model of Boston winning the cup last year, they used their fourth line an awful lot and their best lines very rarely played 20 minutes," Boudreau says.
"You can go even further if you look at other teams and the balance that they've had and hopefully that model is something that we can guide ourselves with."
In seven games this season, Ovechkin has already skated 18:10 or less four times. In 79 games last season, Ovechkin skated 18:10 or less only ten times.
So, with Ovechkin and the Caps No. 1 line spending more time on the bench, the extra minutes are going primarily to the Caps' third and fourth lines.
The No. 3 line (Chimera-Laich-Ward) has combined for seven goals in as many games while often shutting down the other teams' top scorers. Chimera's four goals are also tied for the team lead.
The fourth line (Hendricks-Perreault-Halpern) has seen a surge in its play with the recent addition of center Mathieu Perreault.
Boudreau singled Perreault out at the end of the preseason as the best player throughout training camp. So far that success has carried over to the regular season as well.
"He's like that energizer bunny," Boudreau said of the 5-foot 10-inch Perreault, who has three goals and five points in five games.
Perreault is also a team-best plus-6, but it's his knack for the net and his ability to score that has made the Capitals fourth line an offensive threat.
"It gives us an offensive aspect that we didn't have before," says Hendricks. "I know (Jeff Halpern) and myself can get him the puck and get open for him. We just go to the net and create room for him and let him do his thing because he's a great offensive threat at any time. It gives us more confidence with the puck and it's been beneficial so far."
An improved power play:
After having the NHL's No. 2 power play in 2008-09 (25.2 percent), and the No.1 power play in 2009-10 (25.2 percent), the Capitals dropped to 16th in the league in 2010-11 (17.5 percent).
The rest the league appeared to have caught on to the Caps power play tendencies, and the Capitals struggled to adjust.
This year the Caps have come out with a different look, using Ovechkin more along the half-wall as opposed to at the point (Green and Wideman now sharing the duties), while placing a greater emphasis on quicker passes and puck movement.
"I think what we're doing is we're moving the puck quick," Green says. "We get (penalty killers) running around and that creates openings and it creates chances. I think in the past we've stood around with the puck, waiting for guys to get open and that doesn't work."
Through seven games, the Caps power play is back in a familiar spot -- rated second in the NHL with a 29.6 percent success rate (only Ottawa at 31.3 percent is better). The Capitals have scored at least one power play goal in six of their seven games this season including in each of the last five.
"They're moving the puck real well," Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said after the Capitals went 2-for-4 on the power play in a 7-1 win over Detroit Saturday.
"They're finding open guys and they have guys that can put the puck in the back of the net, so it's a very dangerous power play."
"Guys are hungry and excited to be on the power play," says Knuble. "The fact is, there's a good competition to get on (the power play) so when you're out there it's not a lay-up that you're going out there again. If you're out there and not doing what we're trying to do, there are a few other guys waiting to play too."
Streaking by the Numbers:
1 - The Caps largest deficit of the season
2 - Number of overtime wins (in addition to a shootout win) during the winning streak
3 - Game-winning goals from Marcus Johansson, tops in the NHL.
4 - Career-high point total matched by Mike Green (2g, 2a) in Saturday's 7-1 win over Detroit
5 - Consecutive games in which the Capitals have recorded at least one power play goal
6 - Number of games won by Tomas Vokoun in as many starts with his new team
7 - Consecutive games in which Dennis Wideman has recorded a point (2G, 5A), tying a career-high.

Green joins Caps on road despite injury
Posted on: Tuesday 10/25/2011 7:56pm
Ben Raby, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Capitals defenseman Mike Green missed his second straight practice Tuesday as the Caps continued to prepare for their first multi-game road trip of the season.
According to the team, Green is suffering from a lower body injury and is considered day-to-day. Coach Bruce Boudreau said after practice that Green will travel with the team to Edmonton and is hopeful that the 26-year-old can skate with the team Wednesday.
The Caps begin their two-game trip Thursday against the Oilers and if Green is unable to play, Sean Collins will likely dress as the Capitals' sixth defenseman.
John Erskine has not yet been cleared for his season debut (offseason shoulder surgery), leaving the Caps with little choice but to recall Collins Tuesday from the American Hockey League's Hershey Bears.
"When we phoned down there," Boudreau explained, "he's the best right-handed defenseman that they had… he has experience playing for us and he's playing well. If we had kept a seventh defenseman [to begin the season] it would have been him anyways, so he was the logical choice."
Collins appeared in four games with the Capitals last season recording a goal and two penalty minutes. He also dressed for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal against Tampa Bay.
"I spent a pretty good chunk of time here last year with the same coaching staff and a lot of the same guys," Collins said. "The systems have changed a little bit, but we did them in training camp and we're doing them in Hershey as well so I feel good about it."
Green took a puck to the jaw in Saturday's 7-1 win over Detroit - an injury that required stitches - and reportedly sprained his ankle on the play as well.
The injuries did not seem to slow Green down as he finished with two power play goals while tying his career-high with four points. After the game, Boudreau called it Green's "best game - maybe in a year."
The Capitals visit the Oilers, Thursday at 9:40 PM. Catch the broadcast on WFED 1500AM and online at www.wfed.com. Coverage begins with the Caps Pregame at 9:00.

Ovechkin given day off after slow start
Posted on: Wednesday 10/19/2011 1:43pm
WASHINGTON - The Capitals returned to practice Wednesday without Alex Ovechkin. According to head coach Bruce Boudreau, Ovechkin was given a maintenance day' to nurse a few bumps and bruises.'
"With two more games this week," Boudreau explained, "we just told him to take [the practice] off and get some stretching done."
Ovechkin skated a season-low 17:35 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Panthers, although his usual time on the power play was limited with Florida penalized just once all game.
"If we had seven power plays last night, I'm sure he would have had 22 or 23 minutes," Boudreau says.
"In those occasions, especially when we're into a matching lines situation, if you look at Brooks [Laich's] line, instead of getting 13 minutes they're getting 17 minutes, and so Alex's line's minutes are going down, but I think in the long run that's definitely beneficial to us."
Statistically speaking, Ovechkin has had stronger starts in each of his previous six seasons. His one goal and three points through the first five games of the year are career-lows, as are his 17 shots on goal.
Ovechkin was also singled out by Boudreau after the Caps' second win of the season - Oct. 10 over Tampa Bay - as one of his players who needed to step up his game.
"I think he's got a long way to go to get to where he needs to be and should be," Boudreau said after Ovechkin was a minus-2 in the Caps' 6-5 shootout win over the Lightning. "He's our No. 1 player, but he can be better, there's no doubt about it."
Boudreau denied Ovechkin nursing any sort of injury related to any number of slashes he took in the first two games of the year.
Despite Ovechkin's numbers, Washington is 5-0-0 for the first time in franchise history, with a quartet of games before the end of the month that should serve as another good measuring stick.
The Capitals will be in Philadelphia Thursday to face the 4-0-1 Flyers, with an early perch atop the Eastern Conference standings at stake.
The Caps then return home Saturday to face the 4-0-0 Detroit Red Wings, before traveling to Western Canada next week for games against the upstart Edmonton Oilers and the reigning Presidents' Trophy winners in Vancouver.
"It's going to be a great challenge," Boudreau says. "I'd rather play a minor league team, but it's going to be a great challenge. You want to see where you're at, at different stages in the season.
"Three of the next four games are against the elite in the league so we'll know whether we've got a lot more work to do or whether we're on the right track."
Catch the Capitals (5-0-0) and Flyers (4-0-1) Thursday night on WFED 1500AM and online at Federal News Radio. Coverage begins with Caps Pregame at 6:45.

Capitals start season with power
Posted on: Sunday 10/9/2011 2:04pm
Jonathan Warner, wtop.com
The roaring sea of red is back at Verizon Center, and for at least one game, so is the power play.
The Caps scored two with a man advantage, including the game-winner as they opened the season with a 4-3 win over Carolina.
The Caps had one of the top power-play units in the league for two-straight seasons before inexplicably losing its effectiveness in the playoffs against Montreal in 2010 and then have that carry through all of last year.
Should they get that unit clicking again, the goals and the fun should come in bunches.
The Caps may have something that coach Bruce Boudreau has been seeking -- balanced scoring.
Against the Hurricanes, they got goals from their second and third lines and defense.
Just wait till the top line of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Knuble get on the scoresheet.
It was good to see Mike Green light the lamp in OT. He had just eight goals in an injury-filled 2010-2011 after scoring 50 combined the previous two seasons.
I like the line combinations and defensive pairings. It appears Boudreau does as well. If that's the case, he may not get to mix the lines up as he likes to do.
Instead, he'll just have to enjoy the offensive show.
Nothing wrong with that.

Is this the year for the Capitals?
Posted on: Wednesday 10/5/2011 11:48am
Jonathan Warner, wtop.com
This time will be different.
At least that's what we thought in 2009, 2010 and 2011. That's when the Washington Capitals were supposed to win the Stanley Cup.
Certainly in 2010 when they had the best record in the NHL. But they bowed out in a stunning first-round loss to the worst team in the playoffs – the Montreal Canadiens.
Certainly in 2011, when we thought this young team had learned their lesson, only to watch them put all their effort into beating the New York Rangers in the first round, and then get swept by Tampa Bay in the second.
To prevent that from happening again, the Capitals made some significant moves in the offseason. They got bigger, tougher, more experienced players. That should get them over the hump, right?
You see, the core of this team remains the same, and as they go, so go the Caps. They have to hope their Young Guns have matured. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Semin, Mike Green and Brooks Laich are still the heart of this team.
They've been with the Caps since 2007-2008, the start of their recent successful run. However, after improving steadily for three straight seasons, all five posted numbers last year that they'd like to forget.
Where did the NHL's top offense go? More importantly, how do they get it back?
Bruce Boudreau's first three seasons behind the bench provided us with the NHL's most exciting team. Last year, though, they inexplicably lost their mojo. They'd better find it if they want to raise Lord Stanley's Cup, because while the Capitals needed to improve their defense -- and they have -- lighting the lamp is who they are, who we want them to be and how they are most successful.
Yes, defense wins championships, and the Caps seem to have enough of that now, along with the addition of veteran goalie Tomas Vokoun. So how about kicking up the tempo of the offense? It's a lack of goalscoring the past two playoffs that hurt them, not their defense.
The Caps have been the top team in the East the last two regular seasons. All the ingredients are there for a repeat of that performance.
And, if the Young Guns are on target, they should be able to put together a long run in the playoffs.
Now is the time they grow up and stop teasing us with what they could be -- show us how great you are.

Air Drummer on NYC Subway Platform Jams to Menomena Song
Here's a video of a homeless man on a subway platform who some have described as "super awesome" thanks to his air-drumming skills.
Between the song (Menomena's "Dirty Cartoons") and how hard he commits to his air drumset (he takes the time to set up his high-hat and everything), it's a captivating clip. Here's hoping he finds some equally passionate air-bandmates to jam with.

Um, how did the cameraperson know that this "homeless" dude was jamming out to that particular song? Seems like it was planted by Menomena to me. Good nonetheless.

On July 15th, Cacky Poarch will be stepping down as Executive Director of the deadCENTER Film Festival. Cacky actually made this decision before the festival, but was asked to keep the announcement confidential until yesterday.
Here's a statement from Cacky herself…
I've been doing this gig for the past 8 years, both as a volunteer and employee, and it's been a great ride.
For our 10th anniversary, the Festival hosted a Decade of deadCENTER Retrospective at the IAO Gallery (thank you Jennifer, Alyx and Brian!) and it was a sincere gift to be able to reminisce about how much our festival has grown over the last decade. Since moving the festival downtown with the 'Fab Five', the festival has experienced continual growth that has been amazing. The festival experienced a 2000% revenue growth, which seems outlandish, but it's true. Even Lloyd Kaufman, the owner of the oldest independent film studio, Troma Studios, has said that we are the best run film festival he has ever attended. We are all extremely proud of that.
For our 10th year, we can honestly say we rocked the face off OKC. We had record attendance, multiple world premieres and attracted the likes of Spike Jonze, Elvis Mitchell and even Simply Irresistible. That's about every shade of fabulous a festival can hope for. We've also developed a solid strategic plan, and with a sound Board of Directors, the next Executive Director will have all the tools necessary to successfully take deadCENTER into the next decade.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our sponsors and volunteers that have helped make deadCENTER the largest and most prestigious film festival in Oklahoma. We couldn't do it without community support and for that I am sincerely grateful. I've always said that people think our festival is run by magical fairies because it operates so smoothly. It's truly because of the Kimmisioners' hard work and all the volunteers that rally to make it a success.
Thank you. You're all awesome. I love you.

Barack Obama is apparently the first sitting president to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame. But he's not the most knowledgeable baseball fan. One president drew up his own all-time all-stars team.
Today, President Obama is visiting the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. He's the first sitting US chief executive to drop in at this iconic site of Americana, apparently. At least one previous president visited Cooperstown but didn't bother to go see Babe Ruth's bat, Ty Cobb's spikes, and so on. That may have been because that was so long ago the Hall of Fame didn't yet exist.

QUOTES OF NOTERebuild
"Murakami has quickly demonstrated a remarkable range and ambition."
"Did this happen, here? Did this/ really happen to me?" Such a devastated hole gapes in narrative before a moment of potent reconfiguration, and it's quite genius of Sachiko Murakami's new collection, Rebuild, to pose a doubled speaker of agape grief: both the narrator who has lost a father in troubling circumstances, and the contemporary development-manic city itself, specifically glass-pocked Vancouver, lamenting its gutted and guttered wholeness (acknowledging that wholeness is a myth, yet another hole).
– Margaret Christakos
These are angry poems. Proud and angry. But smart and quirky, too, daring us to tear up our death pledge to real estate, and rethink our citizenship in scandalous cities. They ask hard questions about democracy, Olympic extravaganzas, police battalions and single feet that wash up on the beach. What is home in a state where the cost of a house would feed whole villages for years? […] Murakami brings us home to our senses.
– Meredith Quartermain
The poems in Rebuild strike at (the crack in) the heart of Vancouver. […] Murakami's poetry performs erasure on itself, tries to renovate and rebuild. Something faster. Something better. Tears out consonant and vowel, post and beam, with dishwasher, writes elegy, writes condo, writes missing, writes return. Returns to scaffolding, to consonant, to the letters of her dead father's name.
– Nikki Reimer
QUOTES OF NOTEThe Invisibility Exhibit
"Here is one woman's fiercely intelligent response to one of society's most tragic and pressing dilemmas. Murakami reveals and dismantles the rhetoric of the all-too-familiar missing woman narrative. The Invisibility Exhibit is an articulate and expertly rendered protest against the violence of erasure."
— Jon Paul Fiorentino
"Sachiko Murakami's poems transcend the topical to achieve a startling and personal emotional resonance. Reading them, we become at once wiser and more questioning, sadder and more hopeful. A risky, and deeply rewarding, first collection."
— Stephanie Bolster
" The Invisibility Exhibit is an assembly of fine details and drawn connections, as painstaking as it is provocative."
— Toronto Star
"The final poem of the collection insists 'What gentleness we must muster now, to lift DNA // from a microscopic edge, to protect / the whole of the woman contained there.' Murakami's collection succeeds in embodying this gentleness, along with a startling poetic sensitivity and strength."
— Matrix
"Murakami is a tightly wound spring finally sprung, releasing ohms of energy and lighting the world of Canadian poetry with a new ampere. She has vaulted into prominence with this her first book."
— Prairie Fire

Fun is never enough, no matter how much you had it. You–the Boyfriend–must agree to the trying times that a relationship brings. Not to say that there's any loss of love, but it becomes a kind of loss and to get over such times, the need to incorporate some fun into the relationship becomes all the more apparent. Truth or Dare, the classic game played at many a gatherings has been providing the fun for long. How about it? Rules are pretty simple, ask your girlfriend to choose either truth or dare. The truth-questions have to be answered with a truth, of course, and in dare, she will have to perform a task asked by you. And once accepted; there's no going back! Make sure! But since she's your girlfriend, remember not to go overboard with questions; answers to which may end up hurting you rather than you tickling in the funny bone. It is the same with the Dare-acts too; keep your demand with appropriate limits that doesn't border on the opposite. Below is a bunch of truth or dare questions that we have mentioned. Have a read!

Chrys Petrone holds a Yoda figure as he walks along the entrance to Comic-Con Wednesday, July 11, 2012, in San Diego. The annual comic book and popular arts convention attracts over 100,000 people and runs through July 15. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Thousands of Comic-Con attendees grab free swag at the pop-culture convention, but one lucky fan nabbed the ultimate prize: a trip to space.
Fans who lined up Friday to question the stars of CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" were given silver envelopes with one containing a ticket for a space flight from XCOR Aerospace on the Lynx Experience. It's a two-seat launch vehicle that takes off and lands like a traditional aircraft.
The flight was first offered on stage by former NASA astronaut Richard Searfoss to co-star Simon Helberg. He declined. His character, Howard, blasted off into space at the end of the fifth season.
"Big Bang" star Jim Parsons joined the panel on a monitor via satellite, and Johnny Galecki was absent because of a flight delay.

While I love the food, I have found the service to be substandard. And I think the prices are too high for what you get. But I do appreciate that they are sensitive to helping people with special diets, and that they contribute to the community by having the healing nights. Perhaps, over time, the service will improve.

Fresh off equaling Bjorn Borg's six French Open titles, Rafael Nadal could match another of the Swede's impressive feats: winning on the French clay and Wimbledon grass back-to-back for the third time. "It's the toughest turnaround in tennis," says NBC analyst Mary Carillo, "but Nadal is something very special indeed." Borg did it from 1978-80, and the Spaniard took home both trophies in 2008 and last year...

John McEnroe is being serious when he says he thinks someone not named Roger Federer will hoist the 2009 U.S. Open trophy. The seven-time Grand Slam winner, who will call the tournament for ESPN2, is looking to a pair of Andys — Roddick and Murray — to dethrone the five-time defending champion. "I think Roddick can beat [Federer]," he tells TVGuide.com. "If he won the second set [at Wimbledon], I think he would've won it. He seems to be fit as he's ever been." Get more of McEnroe's thoughts on the final major of the year below. Plus: What doesn't he want to talk about?

Travis Smithdeal and his partner opened Queen City Brewing to let other people brew beer. Queen City is a BOP; a lot of people in the Shenandoah Valley used to brew at Monticello, in Charlottesville. Kevin Yeadon, who owned Monticello and had to get out for health reasons, helped these guys with recipes and advice, and they've hit the ground running. They're aiming for a commercial license in a few months and hope to be selling beer in the area. Look for them!

Mark J. Miller of YahooSports.com reports that Washington Nationals Catcher Ivan Rodriguez will not catch another inning this season.
This is not due to injury or personal reasons; it is because the Washington Nationals are finally doing what fans have waiting for all along: pushing the youth movement.
Earlier this year, the Nats asked Ivan Rodriquez, a "first ballot hall of famer," in the words of Nats manager Davey Johnson and eyes of many, to become the backup catcher in order to let catcher Wilson Ramos learn the position better. He accepted the role with open arms and agreed to serve as a mentor for Ramos.
Last week, the Nationals shut down Livan Hernandez for the remainder of the season in order to allow younger arms get some big league experience, and Hernandez obliged and agreed to serve as a coach for the remainder of the season, but did not rule out returning to the organization next season in a different role, but still as a player.
Now they are doing the same routine with Pudge, shutting him down for the rest of September to allow other, younger players to get some experience in the big leagues so that the team can move forward going into 2012 spring training with a better idea of how to comprise the roster.
Again, Rodriguez, like Hernandez, did not say he is retiring, despite being the ripe age of 39. In fact, Pudge said he intends to play four more years, and will continue his pursuit for 3,000 hits (he is 158 short).
The reason this is noteworthy is because these are the two best examples I have ever seen of consummate professionalism on the part of Livan Hernandez and Pudge Rodriguez. These two are being asked to sit out the remainder of a season, in which they are being paid to play, so that their team can look to go in a different direction-and that is OK with both of them. Again, I shake my head when I see stuff like that because it really takes a lot to swallow your pride and accept a role they have both been given. Pudge will have 3,000 hits by the end of his career and like Hernandez, already has a World Series ring. This just makes me think that the Nationals really do treat their players correctly. It speaks volumes about the front office and GM Mike Rizzo and his staff and ownership, because players do not do something like this unless they have a great deal of respect for the organization they play for as a whole.

In order to keep the siding of our house in good condition, We stain a different side every year. This summer I decided to hire Broom Painting and his painters to do one of the more difficult sides of the house that are 30 feet high in some places and is close to the hydro lines into the house.
When Kyle came to the house with his crew of painters to start the job, he noted that there were a few places where the old stain was starting to peel. He told his painters to first scrape off this peeling before starting their staining. I was impressed that Kyle took such care in his work to do this initial work—especially when this was not part of our contract
Overall I was very pleased with Kyle's professional approach to his work and the resulting appearance.
Thanks very much for the painting and caulking work you completed. Please feel free to use my name as a job reference.
You are an excellent example of a true entrepreneur. From the cold call at the front door one very cold winter evening to providing the written estimate and receiving my approval to proceed, to scheduling the work, to arriving at my home on time exactly as you had promised, to providing well-qualified painters to complete the work to my satisfaction.
It was a pleasure to have you and your associates do this work. Your capabilities, politeness and discipline were very much appreciated. Good luck with your future prospects!

Bacon & Barrels is the definitive outdoor festival for the bacon obsessed foodies and those who prefer their drinks from a barrel. Bacon & Barrels was started in 2013 in Los Olivos, Santa Barbara's wine country, and attracts a sellout crowd as soon as tickets go on sale. Based on the success and popularity in the north, this upscale and fun food festival headed south to San Diego's Embarcadero Marina Park South on May 31, 2014. The all-day event challenged participating chefs to create their most imaginative, fresh recipes incorporating bacon, and highlighted the best artisan and craft barrel beverages such as bourbon, beer, wine, and scotch. The best mixologist and chef of the event was awarded the "Jefe del Porko" award and the title of Top Chef in next year's VIP tent. 2014 TOP CHEF: barleymash and 2014 TOP MIXOLOGIST: Eureka
