Can H$U$ explain why 78% of the the restaurants on the list doesn't even know they're on the list. H$U$ is in it for the money. Just ask the ENDANGERED MONK SEAL. All H$U$ is doing for the monk seal is stating that they're endangered on there website. WOW! Like all AR groups they focus on the bleeding hearts and the hate mongers because there's someone to blame. Ask Paul Watson. In 1978, he said that the harp seal is the most profitable animal next to the whale for animal rights groups.

The comment in the article ""Veterinarians have found that the tools used by sealers are at least as humane, and often more humane than, the killing methods used in commercial slaughterhouses, which are accepted by the majority of the public," she said." is not true as most of the public are unaware of how the meat on their plate is raised and slaughtered and the producers want to keep it that way, by making their facilities like off limits to almost everyone. Big Ag is trying to get Animal Terrorist laws into place to make it illegal for anyone to even take a photo of the outside of the buildings, let alone reveal the tortures that occur inside!

The seal hunt needs to go away - there is no 'real' demand for products and whether it is hypocritical or not for society to accept factory farming practises over the seal hunt doesnt minimize the fact it is just a publicity nightmare for NL. The economic value is simply not there and never will be .

Lots of dizzying information from article and source to the other. The world is turning is away from seal products. We can argue why but there are some obvious issues. We need to accept the direction of societal evolution and find better ways to to create industry and thus income. Why can't we take a lead on ending this practice instead of kicking and screaming?

I'm working on an aggressive campaign in Saskatchewan to boycott any store that have petitions to end the seal hunt on their counter, especially when they are still using images of whitecoats. Such foolishness.
- February 28, 2012 - 14:56
& I will work to counter your effort, thanking any operation for their help in stopping this needless and disgusting operation. We've outgrown in and it's time to face the facts. It's a self centered inhumane living. the videos shot every year show the reality and we're done with it! i will promote these stores you try to boycott. good luck!

Boycott Canadian seafood; let them. I am sure that they will truly enjoy all the lovely Gulf seafood that BP have delivered to them. The last time they did this they had several restaurants listed as supporters of th boycott but yet in advertisements the restaurants clearly identified some of their seafood as Canadian.

The united states kill their stock of pigs cattle etc when tget get old I am sure that you can get back at them by letting them know that we have to recycle just as they do .It is to protect the young and the cod is getting scarce and the young has to be fed .Isnt it the same with failing farm animals

If these people can launch an effective "misinformation" campaign, why can't the Govt. of Canada issue an equally effective "information" campaign? Surely we have more resources! Lacking political will perhaps?

A good overview of the cost of cars in terms of money, space, and time at Planetizen. Transportation costs are already unaffordable (>20% of household income) for the lowest income 40% of the US, and drivers only pay a minority of automotive costs directly. Over the last half of the 20th century, the proportion of household income dedicated to transportation doubled. Cars use ~20x as much spacetime (s*m^2) as bikes for the same commute, and ~200x as much as a pedestrian. Interestingly the direct car costs mentioned are only about half what AAA estimates ($4100 vs. $8500 per year).

Will Toor and Mike Salisbury at the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project have put together a good paper called Managed Lanes in Colorado (it's a PDF) that looks at the policy rationale behind (and a few issues with) creating additional highway capacity in the form of managed lanes with tolling, that also allow high occupancy vehicles and transit to take advantage of the investment, addressing some of the "Lexus Lane" criticism of using tolls in the public right of way (on projects that are still mostly publicly funded).

- America's Cities Are Still Too Afraid to Make Driving Unappealing - Emily Badger - The Atlantic Cities
It's the relative attractiveness of different modes of transportation that shapes our choices, and American cities are still terrified of making driving less attractive. This really puts a cap on what fraction of trips we can get over to biking, walking and mass transit. Partly because driving is such an ingrained cultural norm (even if it's just as easy to drive as to bike, the default behavior amongst most people will be to drive), and partly because accommodating cars well means degrading the walking, biking and transit amenities. In a place like Boulder where people actually have alternatives to driving
- Granny flats flourish after fee waiver... in Portland
In 2010 Portland, Oregon made it cheap and easy for people to build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units -- also known as "granny flats", "in-law apartments", "carriage houses", etc -- small secondary dwellings that are on an existing property), and to nobody's surprise, the tiny homes boomed. This kind of housing adds density without changing neighborhood character, lets people live lighter on the land, and helps makes housing affordable both for the renters, and the homeowners who now have a rental income that was impossible before. And they do it all without any public subsidy. Boulder can do this too.
- Hamburg's Car Free Greenway Network
There have been a bunch of links floating around recently about the German city of Hamburg's plans to "go car free" in the next 15-20 years. For example this BBC Future article which references this post on Inhabitat, which then points to Arch Daily which finally links directly to the actual city planning site from Hamburg (auf deutsch of course). Unfortunately, these seem to be just click-bait headlines. As far as I can tell (and I don't read German) the real point of the plan is to create an extensive, connected network of bike and pedestrian greenways that provide easy access
- The Growth Ponzi Scheme
A great series of 5 posts from Charles Mahron at Strong Towns on how the suburban growth pattern we've seen in the US for the last 60 years is indistinguishable from a growth Ponzi scheme. We use federal (or sometimes state) money to make capital investments, but leave the maintenance and operational costs to local governments, which usually have no revenue source sufficient to fulfill that obligation -- because this type of development does not come anywhere close to being economically productive enough to pay its own way in terms of tax revenues. For a while you can continue this

Speaking at a press conference after four days of questioning about the killing of the Belfast mother-of-ten, Mr Adams said he was "concerned about the timing" of his detention ahead of "a very important European election and local government elections across the island of Ireland."
He also criticised the fact that he was detained under the Terrorism Act when he presented himself at Antrim Serious Crime Suite on Wednesday evening after the PSNI contacted his solicitor.
"I want to make it clear that I support the PSNI," he said.
"I will continue to work with others to build a genuinely civic policing service."
However, he said he felt those who authorised his arrest and detention "could have done it differently" and sent out the "wrong signal".
He explained that the PSNI made 33 taped interviews during his time in custody.
Surrounded by senior Sinn Féin figures, he told reporters the allegations of his involvement in the McConville case, which he rejects, are based "almost exclusively on hearsay from unnamed alleged Boston College interviewees but mostly from Dolours Price and Brendan Hughes".
The recent police activity followed a decision by a US court compelling a Boston university to hand over to the PSNI recorded interviews about the case.
"I reject all the allegations, and rejected all the allegations made against me in these tapes," Mr Adams said.
Let me very clear - I am innocent of any involvement in any conspiracy to abduct, kill or bury Mrs McConville.Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams
Let me very clear - I am innocent of any involvement in any conspiracy to abduct, kill or bury Mrs McConville.
Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams
Mrs McConville was kidnapped by the IRA, interrogated, shot in the back of the head and then secretly buried over 40 years ago - becoming one of the so-called "Disappeared" victims of the Troubles. She was wrongly suspected of being an informer for the British Army.
The body of the 37-year-old widow was not found until 2003 on a beach in Co Louth.
One of her sons has now called for an independent investigation by a team from outside Northern Ireland.
"I am conscious that there is another family at the heart of all of this and that is the family of Jean McConville," Mr Adams said on Sunday night.
"I have worked hard with others to have this injustice redressed and for the return of the bodies of others killed during the conflict and secretly buried by the IRA, and I will continue to do so."
He said the allegations were part of a "sustained, malicious, untruthful and sinister campaign" against him.
Earlier Mr Adams left via the back entrance of Antrim police station, two hours after he was formally released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
The delay came after a number of loyalist protestors blocked the entrance of the station amid a heavy police presence.
We would like to see all the investigations taken out of Northern Ireland, we would like an independent body to do this so there is no political pressure on the police.Michael McConville

The decision on whether to proceed with a prosecution now rests with the deputy director of Public Prosecutions Pamela Atchison after it emerged that the Director of Public Prosecutions Barra McGrory QC previously acted as Mr Adams' lawyer.
A spokeswoman for the PPS confirmed Mr McGrory would have no decision-making role in the case.
"No prosecutorial decision will be taken by the director Barra McGrory QC in this case," she said.
Before Mr Adams' release on Sunday, Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly was granted access into the police station and spoke with the former west Belfast MP.
He said Mr Adams was "doing fine" but had concerns about the impact his arrest will have on the PSNI's image.
"He's worried about the damage it might be doing to the image of policing and that it's being mishandled in that type of fashion."
The MLA confirmed that during questioning, officers used "open source material" - including the Boston College tapes as well as old pictures, newspaper articles and books.
What we need in these circumstances is leadership - it is patently absent in the republican movement.DUP leader Peter Robinson

The arrest of Mr Adams triggered a political row at Stormont after Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said it was a "political" move by an "embittered rump of the old RUC" within the PSNI.
At a rally organised in West Belfast in support of the party leader on Saturday, he also accused police of "deliberately and cynically exploiting the awful killing of Jean McConville and the grief and hurt of her family."
First Minister Peter Robinson later hit out at Sinn Féin over what he called the party's "unacceptable" attempt to blackmail the PSNI following the arrest.
The DUP leader criticised what he called "republican bullyboy tactics" and an "obscene politicising of the policing process".
"The publicly conveyed threat to the PSNI delivered by the highest levels of Sinn Féin that they will reassess their attitude to policing if Gerry Adams is charged is a despicable, thuggish attempt to blackmail the PSNI," he said.
"I warn Sinn Féin that they have crossed the line and should immediately cease this destructive behaviour."
Justice Minister David Ford and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers have also defended the police's handling of the arrest and denied it was politically motivated.

As anyone who's ever tried to fix a broken garbage disposal or install a new microwave oven can tell you, sometimes hiring an appliance professional is worth every bit of the cost. Appliance problems can be time consuming for many homeowners to diagnose and repair, and a botched attempt can lead to bigger hassles and more money out of pocket. And with some appliances, such as ranges, grills and other pieces powered by gas, hiring a pro is a smart safety precaution. More

Written by Dr. George Freedman, DDS Friday, 14 March 2014 08:15
In First Impressions, George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experience.
ScanX Swift Digital Imaging System
Radiography has expanded the dentist's investigative capacity in many ways: it is possible to confirm health and to detect disease in areas previously invisible to intraoral examination. Since digital dental radiography was first introduced in the late 1980s, it has provided many clinical advantages: virtually immediate clinical results, diagnostic accuracy, decreased patient radiation, convenient data storage and communication, and decreased consumable costs and environmental waste. Most digital sensors can be used with existing x-ray units as long as the radiation emission can be significantly reduced. Digital sensors are generally classified as wired and wireless. Transmitting diagnostic data to the computer can be accomplished by using a scanner, a Bluetooth connection, or a USB cable. Air Techniques' ScanX Swift digital imaging system is an advanced and compact scanner designed specifically for in-operatory chairside use. It accepts size zero, one, and 2 digital sensors. The size 2 ScanX cordless digital sensor is particularly useful for bite-wing and periapical radiographs because it provides approximately 1,080 mm² of diagnostic area (compared to 1,100 mm² for traditional analog film). The ScanX sensor captures the complete coronal to apical length of most teeth and provides more mesial-distal and interproximal diagnostic information than most other digital sensors. Also, the thickness of the ScanX is a fraction of most wired digital sensors (0.4 mm versus 5.5 mm or more), somewhat pliable, and therefore very comfortable in the patient's mouth. The Swift scanner automatically erases the ScanX sensors during the rapid scanning process, readying them for the next use. Sensors can be reused many hundreds of times before they are inexpensively replaced. ScanX Swift is the most economical solution for digital radiography.
GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule
| Glass ionomer materials are kind to tissues, self-adhesive, and capable of releasing fluoride to assist in the remineralization of adjacent dental structures. Widely used throughout the world, glass ionomers have had a slow start in North America. The early products in this category exhibited extensive wear of the restorative surface that caused pitting and staining. As their chemistry has improved and ease of use has progressed, glass ionomers are increasingly utilized by practitioners for a variety of indications. Shofu Dental's GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is an enhanced direct restorative material, specifically designed for minimally invasive dentistry. It is an all-purpose glass ionomer material that provides aesthetic direct restorations, and it is indicated for nonload bearing Class I and Class II restorations in the permanent dentition and Class III and Class V cavities, including abfractions. It is also excellent for core buildups and as a base/liner material. Useful for both pediatric and geriatric patients, its Giomer technology offers a very high fluoride release rate combined with a proprietary rechargeable property that makes it ideal for high-caries-risk individuals. Its rapid self-cure (1.66 minutes total working time and 2.5 minutes total setting time from start of mixing) provides an excellent solution for subgingival cavities where light curing is not possible. Its radiopacity makes recurring decay easy to spot. FX-II Capsule also has a very low solubility in intraoral fluids, significantly decreasing acid erosion and leaving the restorative surface smooth and aesthetic in the long term. The thermal expansion is similar to natural tooth structure, minimizing marginal gap formation. The application process is remarkably easy: simply mix in the triturator and insert immediately thereafter. No conditioners are required, and it handles and packs easily. The GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is perfect for predictable direct restorations.

Dr. Seuss is a popular choice. There's always a hidden message in his books. Once you get past all the silly, tongue twister words. As the person who has to read the books aloud, you will need a degree in speaking in tongues. I think the worst is "Fox in Socks". I don't get it, nor do I enjoy stuttering and stammering like my mouth is full of glue.
So when it's time for bed, or we're snuggly on the couch, I shy away from Seussville. I have my favorites which bring back fond memories of sick days in bed, car trips, or stories after a bad dream.
Here are my top 8 children books that have earned all-star status on our shelves:
1. Sleepy Dog by Harriet Ziefert
-Doggies and kisses. What more could you want?
2. Froggy Goes to School by Jonathan London
-"Frrrooggyy" is yelled throughout the book, reminding me how I call to my children from the other room all the time.
3. The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams
-Cute interactive book. The clothes of a scarecrow do a dance and chase an old lady to her house.
4. Animal Strike at the Zoo by Karma Wilson
-Giving animals opinions. The zebra's paint themselves, the giraffes wear turtle necks and the elephants eat pecans!
5. Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins
-My FAVORITE. This was Mr. 10's first book that we read together. If you can wiggle your hand, you're set!
6. Monster Munchies by Laura Numeroff
-Both the boys asked for this one repeatedly. Who doesn't want to be able to eat car tires or a bus? Great for working on numbers and it's easy to memorize.
-My 2nd favorite. I grew up on The Berenstain Bears. This was a great way to wind before bed. A simple read.
8. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald
-Another book from my childhood. I bought this in hopes to teach Mr. 10. When he was seven we pretended to try to clean his room before the witch/dragon/made up creature would drag him to the dungeon if he wasn't done before time was up! It worked for awhile.
Do you have a favorite book from your childhood that brings back memories of cold nights and warm blankets? Did you hide under your cover with a flashlight, staying up WAY past your bedtime in order to finish a cherished story? Do you have a volume to add to the list?

It's been two years since Bonobo first stepped into the scene with Black Sands. Until now, fans have been begging for an album as chill as it. With the release of Bonobo's new single "Cirrus," fans finally have a date to look forward to.
This new single "Cirrus" starts off right where Black Sands left us, and its laid-back, jazzy, deep house feel makes me impatient to get my hands on the rest of the album. "Cirrus" is typical Bonobo music that helps gets me through my stressful days. It is not elevator music, so if you think that it sounds like background music, listen again because it is so much more complicated than that.
If "Cirrus" is a taste of good things to come, Bonobo's new album, The North Borders, will bring him success at an even higher level in the instrumental electronic music scene. The new album comes out April 1st, so let's hope this isn't a sick April Fool's prank. After the album drops at the beginning of the April, a two-month U.S. Tour will ensue and if this tour includes a live band, make sure to grab a ticket. In a world of music that continues to rely more heavily on mainstream beats and heavy bass, Bonobo is the complete opposite. His passion and musical talent come out in not only his music, but also his live band performances.
To accompany the song, British animator Cyriak teamed up with Bonobo to create a music video. The result is a trippy kaleidoscope video that will leave watchers a little dizzy.

Let's bring it back to some more upbeat funk with a new disco-house collaboration from France. Jupiter took on French artist BB Brunes, a leader in new rock, and his song "Stereo." While the rock vocals are not in English, American listeners still feel the words through Jupiter's funky guitar and nu disco combination. Jupiter is a two person electro pop group based out of Paris known for their catchy, retro, dance hits in Europe.

What ever happens to those tunes that get made but never released? Well in Vanilla's case, he has offered up over 20 of his instrumental songs that have never had a home on his new album For What It's Worth. Please listen to the song "This Time" to get some hip hop, jazz, funk embedded into your day.
"For What It's Worth is a collection of 20 outtakes and loose instrumentals made over the past year that I felt could use a home. There's a slightly jazzier vibe here than my other stuff but overall there's no real unifying theme." – Vanilla

"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"
"These place cards turned out just as we expected. We love the color, paper quality and overall design. We can't wait to use them for our upcoming wedding! Thanks Wedding Paper Divas!!!!"
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"These place cards are great! Very simple chic, I'm glad we went with the white shimmer paper it added a little extra glam."

- Pharmaceutical-Grade Purity

How Does Norwegian Gold Deliver 3x more Omega-3 Absorption?
1 Norwegian Gold Enteric-coated fish gel = 3 uncoated softgels
Enteric-Coated Targeted Release means less exposure of the fish oils to harsh stomach acids and more Omega-3 delivery to the intestines.
Digestion Enhanced with Lipase further aiding in Omega-3 absorption. Lipase is critical for complete oil digestion, yet most other fish oils lack this powerful fat-splitting enzyme.
Burp-Free Guarantee: Many fish oils cause a fishy burp or "repeat", but our unique Ultragest Technology ensures more complete digestion to help prevent any unpleasant repeat, odor or intestinal discomfort.
Lipase for Enhanced digestion, Enteric-coated for intestinal delivery, Oils bypass harsh stomach acids, 3X better absorption.
Health Benefits of Omega-3
Essential Fatty Acids like the Omega-3s in ReNew Life's Norwegian Gold oils are natural substances your body needs to maintain optimum health. Extensive research links this type of Omega-3 to the heart, brain, eyes, joints and skin. Because the typical American diet is lacking in these vital fatty acids, supplementation with natural fish oils is an ideal source for Omega-3s.
What Makes Norwegian Gold The Ultimate Omega-3 Fish Oils?
- Higher Potency of molecularly distilled Omega-3 essential fatty acids then most other fish oils. Total Omega concentration of over 85%!
- Ultimate purity & freshness exceeding or meeting world standards. Sourced from smaller, unthreatened wild fish from cold, pristine waters.
- Enteric coating for 3x more Omega-3 absorption than uncoated softgels and reduced burping in most people.
- Lipase-enhanced digestion for better absorption. This natural fat-splitting enzyme helps the body utilize these beneficial Omega-3s.
- Fresh-Assure blue glass bottle and dark gel cap seals in freshness and shields the pristine oils from the harmful effects of light.
- 100% fish-derived gel caps ideal for fish-eating vegetarians and others who wish to avoid animal-based gelatin softgels.
International Fish Oil Standards
The IFOS program is a world leader in Omega-3 testing, ensuring Norwegian Gold oils surpass or meet all world pharmaceutical standards - including NMS (Norwegian Medicinal Standard) - for freshness, purity and potency.
Manufactured in a GMP facility
Suggested Use
Take 1 fish gel daily or as directed by your healthcare professional. To maximize your intake of Omega-3, take 2 fish gels daily.

"Judy and Mabel" is the amazing tale of two middle-aged spinster sisters, Judy and Mabel Jones from New Bern, North Carolina, who venture to New York City for a week's vacation in the summer of 1969. This is their first time ever traveling that far north so they have no experience of being in "The Big City of Manhattan." After timidly approaching their aging parents with their grand vacation idea, they soon found themselves being warned again and again, "do not talk to strangers, keep your money hidden in your garter belts, say your daily prayers, and above all else, behave like nice, respectable, Southern church going ladies!" And these warnings came not only from their folks but also from all over their small town. more

Sophisticated Mattress Created by Japanese Technology
airweave is a mattress made by "weaving" resin strings. The resin material was specially and newly developed for this mattress to support you firmly yet comfortably. With this mattress, quality sleep is yours.
Air as Mattress Material
Air is the most essential material for our mattress. Each of our skilled craftsmen is finishing each airweave mattress with great care to make so many layers of air. It is a delicate work, like weaving air into the mattress. Our factory is filled with the atmosphere which is like that of an atelier of traditional crafts.
Comfort for Everyone
Our development concept was to make a mattress for everyone. We asked many people, with various types of physique and at different ages, to try our prototypes and eagerly listened to their comments. As the result, here is airweave, a mattress which provides comfort for everyone.
- Not too firm.
- Not too soft.
- So friendly to your body.
- airweave for High Quality Sleeping Environment
- airweave is composed of layers of air created with our new material, very fine fibrous resin. The mattress is made by three-dimensionally entwining and heat-bonding thin polyethylene strings. The resulted structure gives the mattress superior air permeability.
Thanks to the air permeability, you don't have to toss and turn through the wakeful night caused by heat and moisture held inside the mattress. Also, you don't need to worry about mold.
The mattress cover was exclusively made for airweave. It is quilted and keeps you warm in winter. The cover is made of high quality fabric which has a quick moisture absorption/dissipation characteristic.
Production of airweave is thoroughly done at one factory in Japan. Stable and safe quality is assured.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's that sneaking around my garden?
If you live in a huge, ostentatious house, a security system is a necessity to keep your family and precious bling safe. But why settle for a boring gray panel in the wall when you could have an animated butler tell you of security alerts… from a mirror? Yes, just like in Snow White, you can receive valuable information (other than how much you've let yourself go) from a mirror. Just hang it on your wall and it will just appear to be a normal, unassuming mirror until someone pulls into your driveway — then Basil of the Mirror will appear and tell you all about what's happening. Created by Craig Barr, whose past work includes the King Kong ride at Universal Studios, the Magic Message Mirror is aimed at a pretty high-end market. There's no pricing available, but one has to assume that a theme park-worthy magic mirror connected to a home security system isn't gonna be cheap.

Preventative medicine is a foundation of health that focuses on creating healthy dietary and lifestyle habits. These daily habits promote health and longevity overtime, while preventing chronic disease. While some health practitioners only offer routine immunizations and drugs as a way of decreasing your chance of future disease, true preventative medicine involves so much more. For example, dietary changes such as incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables, lifestyle improvements including physical activity and health-promoting habits like daily herbal teas all help to reduce your risks of disease and optimize your well being. Prevention gets at the heart of what I am so passionate about in healthcare: teaching people how to live a productive and fulfilled life free from the unnecessary burden of chronic disease.
A core piece of preventative medicine is healing the root cause of disease rather than treating the symptoms. Once this happens, the body has a chance to "start over" in health. Treating the root cause of a chronic condition supports the body to restore health in a positive way.
Preventative strategies and habits can greatly benefit people living with heart disease, cancer, and stroke; the top three causes of death in our times.
Prevention is about having the power to take control of your health and health outcomes. The greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of health. I look forward to helping you enjoy that gift.

HoopsHype Danny Ainge rumors
Faverani may be a little under the radar, but he could well play a prominent role next season. "I think he proved he was good," said Ainge. "When he was getting minutes for us and when he was playing in the D-League, I think he proved to everyone that he's an NBA player. He was the only guy on our team this year that was actually any presence at the rim at all. Because Hump (Kris Humphries) was playing well, and Brandon and Kelly and Sully were all playing well, it was just tough for him to get in the rotation. There's also the language barrier and a cultural thing, but as far as the talent, we think he is definitely an NBA player. I'd like to get an additional (rim protector), but I think Vitor has proven he can play a role for us." Boston Herald
"Those are the hardest things to find in our business — you know, guys that can finish games, guys that can really score points," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said yesterday. "The Kevin Durants and LeBron Jameses that we're watching now — Paul George — are the hardest things to find. I think that nobody in this draft can do that for us right away. Could some people in this draft develop into some of those players? I hope so, but those guys are hard to find." Boston Herald
"There are a lot of good players in this draft, guys that can be starters and guys that can play major roles on really good teams," Ainge said. "But I'm not sure that there are those 20-to-25-point-a-game guys. Jabari averaged 19 points a game in the ACC, so he seems to be the most prepared to do that. (Joel) Embiid's a rim protector. Wiggins is one of the freakiest athletes that's come along, and he scored 16 or 17 a game in a tough conference. That's probably why everyone's talking about them at the top of the list, because they bring that scoring ability and that scoring potential to the table." Boston Herald
"Zach LaVine is very raw," Ainge said. "He didn't score much down the stretch (for UCLA). I think (Julius) Randle, although he hasn't shown he can shoot the ball, is still very young and he has some great scoring potential. Marcus Smart scored 18 points a game in the Big 12. He hasn't shot the ball well, but he has very good scoring potential. (Dante) Exum, I think, has real good potential to be a scorer and a playmaker. Aaron Gordon's another guy. These guys are all so young." Exum would appear to be the most intriguing of the "others." He has the skills and size that is leading teams to believe he could become special, perhaps enough to challenge Parker, Embiid and Wiggins for a place among the top three. Boston Herald
If the Celtics land on such higher ground, they would have to think long and hard. It's most important they correctly predict who might be magnetic. "Agreed," Ainge said. "I mean, that's a big part of development. It's hard to predict. It's really hard to predict who's going to get better. That's why there's such an emphasis on size and body type and how smart they are, how hard they work. That's why we do all this work in trying to predict who are going to be the guys who succeed." Boston Herald
Ainge is intrigued by the large pool of the players the Celtics are studying for the 17th pick. "There's some good talent in that pick," he said. "Yeah, we've got to make the right ones, get the right guys. We don't take needs. We take the best players available." Boston Globe
Jackson waited a long time after he retired as a player before becoming a head coach. He had to wait, in part, because he was adamant that he wouldn't start his coaching career as an assistant, like almost all ex-players of all races have to do as they break into the ranks. When you asked him about it during his ABC/ESPN days, he would always have some variation on the sentence, "Danny Ainge didn't have to be an assistant." The inference was clear: Ainge got the Suns' head coaching job two years after he retired as a player, having never before been a coach at any level. If he was good enough to step right in as a head coach, Mark Jackson certainly felt he was good enough to do the same. NBA.com
The Celtics, who currently have the fifth-best odds of landing the top pick in the June 26 draft, will have their most exclusive dance card since 2007 in that regard. The material they can gather this week simply is limited compared to what was available 10 years ago. "It's just not as informative as it used to be," Ainge said. "You're not going to see people playing 5-on-5 anymore. A lot of players aren't going to work out at this, the way it goes right now." Boston Herald
"Every year is a little different," he said. "It almost seems like it's become a status thing with the way it is right now. It's like some players are saying, 'I don't have to work out there, so I won't.' So you're probably not going to be able to tell much more about the top players in Chicago, unless they show up completely out of shape. But I like the kids who show up and do the work. I just like the kids who have a love for the game and show up with a desire to show that to people. We're dealing with a lot of young kids here, so there's the potential to learn something new every time. In Chicago you don't learn all that much, other than what they've been doing in their conditioning programs since the season ended." Boston Herald
Even here, though, the benefit is limited. A good agent has coached his client on this process, as well. Memorable interviews are limited. "To tell you the truth, I don't remember all that much from our interviews with Jared (Sullinger) and Kelly (Olynyk)," Ainge said of his most significant rookies from the past two years. "The thing to remember is that all players are getting advice from their agents. A big thing this week will be us trying to schedule workouts." Boston Herald
It's inevitable that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey will likewise check in his with his old boss Danny Ainge in Boston -- as he did before the trade deadline in February -– just to make sure Rajon Rondo isn't suddenly available. ESPN.com
At the February trade deadline, the Celtics stood pat and Ainge said that they felt no pressure to force anything partly because they can fall back on those assets. He said his thinking along those lines hasn't changed much. "We've got to do good deals," Ainge said. "We can't force things to happen. Yeah, so I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just as intrigued as anybody else. I have some ideas as do all the guys on my staff. We'll sit down and see what's realistic and have conversations with other teams in preparation for the offseason, but none of us know what's going to happen." Boston Globe
Does Grousbeck's "fireworks" comment make Ainge push harder to make something happen? "No, listen, I know Wyc and I love working with him," Ainge said. "We all care about the Celtics fans and our fan base and our partners and our players and our coaches — everybody wants to win and be a championship contender every year. "Wyc knows that we're sitting in a good situation. We just have to be working to explore every opportunity that we can. I think we're all excited for the possibilities, and yet I think Wyc is rational and when it comes down to it, he'll only do deals that he likes." Boston Globe
Ben Rohrbach: Does Ainge see Rondo on the 2014-15 Celtics? "Yeah, I've said that like a thousand times." Admitted Rondo has declined a contract extension. Twitter @brohrbach
Ben Rohrbach: Ainge on Bradley's injury history: "I think that is somewhat of an issue." Didn't deny offering 4 years, $24 million prior to the season. Twitter @brohrbach
Ben Rohrbach: Ainge on 2014 NBA draft: "I just don't think there's that one player that's going to turn a franchise from a lottery team into a top team." Twitter @brohrbach
Ben Rohrbach: Ainge on possibility of bringing Paul Pierce back: "At the right price, right circumstance." Twitter @brohrbach
Marc D'Amico: Ainge on Humphries: "Kris had a really good year. He's a good teammate. Kris is a guy who could very well be on our team next year." Twitter @celtics

A movie can only be as great as its source material. It can almost never be greater than the sum of its parts.
Here, the one lacking element was the screenplay, and it's a shame. The acting was superb and the direction took the script as far as it could go.
There were too many Asgardian minor characters. Sif, Hogun, Fandral, Volstagg, Tyr, etc. None has enough to do. It feels like there was more to the Sif-Jane-Thor triangle that was left on the cutting-room floor, which is a shame. It would have been better to drop any nods to the Warriors Three.
Another problem was the ridiculous hand-waving that got the Aether into Jane. The Portal-like... - well, portals were cool but there had to be a better way to release the Aether. Maybe there was a better way to drive the plot and forget the Aether completely.
Speaking of handwaving, isn't it a bit ridiculous that Heimdall didn't see the dark-elf attack coming? Isn't that his job?
It's a shame, because the small touches were all there. It was funny, adventurous, and unpredictable.

On Friday, October 14, visitors at the Park can meet with "Captain Jack Sparrow" and several of the Monsters of the Midway during open hours (7-11 pm). From 8 to 9 pm, patrons can have their pictures taken with a monster and uploaded to their Facebook page, or buy a souvenir picture to have autographed by all their favorite monsters.
Wicked Jester Entertainment is performing on Saturday for its first time at the Scream Park. This premium entertainment company features a juggler, magician and stilt walker. Also on Saturday, the Park will receive a visit from the "Michigan Ghostbusters."Â

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning sets to throw a pass in the second quarter of an NFL football game against the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012, in Denver. (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey)
(UNDATED) -- Tennessee tied a school record with six former Vols making the 2013 Pro Bowl roster.
The rosters were announced Wednesday night.
Denver quarterback Peyton Manning was named the starting QB for the AFC squad. Manning captured the most votes during fan voting.
Patriots' linebacker Jerod Mayo, Texans' running back Arian Foster, safety Eric Berry and punter Dustin Colquitt, both of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Dallas tight end Jason Witten were the other ex-Vols named to the Pro Bowl.
Witten set a record for receptions in a season by a tight end (103) in the Cowboys' game last week against New Orleans. This is Witten's eighth Pro Bowl selection.
Foster is making his third straight appearance, while Berry and Mayo are both headed to Hawaii for the second time.
With six selections, Tennessee is tied for having the most former players of any school in the nation. Along with the Vols, Georgia and Miami (Fla.) also have six products in the Pro Bowl.
Vikings' fullback and former Sequoyah High Schools standout Jerome Felton made NFC roster.

Eastern Beauty.
"Eastern Beauty" Artwork. Click image to view larger preview.
Lately it seems like clients have been giving me specific directions to take my art and once I get there they change their mind and than move me in another direction. It's all part of the creative process when working with an agency but it's still a little disappointing when you feel like you delivered on target. (Cue Hindemith's solo violin sonata no. 2, Op. 31.)
"Eastern Beauty" T-shirt.
But I am not too bummed. (Sniff) After all they are still paying me for creating the art and I get the benefit of using it however I see fit. (That's right!) And I see fit to take this rejected art and apply it to all manner of consumer goods so you my faithful blog reader can spend your stimulus check and help facilitate a healthy creative commerce. So gird your loins with my art here.
Some of my best artwork have been complete failures and this is what I'd consider one of my best. Artwork that is, not the failure part. (Geesh.)

Did I ever tell you that you're one of my heros?
Well, you are! It's always nice to see great work but what makes it especially nice is when you get to hear some of the process of how one gets from concept to deliverables. (Not to mention the speed bumps of the ad world, better known as AEs and CDs...)
Anyway, been meaning to give you a pat on the back for a while - in fact I think I may have a while back... Regardless, I truly appreciate you sharing the stories and drama that goes into being a creative renegade like yourself that always seems to make it look sooo damn easy. Rock on Vonster dude!

Ah man that was nice to hear! My blog tends to be somewhat cathartic for me. Life would be pretty boring I suppose if everything went smoothly.
I think there is a Twilight Zone episode based on that premise if my memory is correct?
Appreciate the comments.

As for US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, he had promoted Libya's destruction, having arrived in Benghazi in April 2011 for that purpose, and remained there throughout the NATO seven-month aerial bombardment of Libya. His job was to coordinate the NATO-backed terrorists.
Libya presents Washington with another Afghan nightmare -- only perhaps worse. If US drones start blasting Libyans, and the US military rounds up tens of thousands of suspected loyalists, then the Resistance can only become stronger. Of Libya's 5.6 million people, only one in 10 (that is, the population of the eastern city of Benghazi) welcomed the NATO bondage and destruction of their country.

Drawing on Inspiration: Holiday Recipes as Artby npadavick in Holidays, Recipes, December 1st, 2010
The Dish is teaming up with Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell, founders of They Draw and Cook, all December to share holiday recipes rendered by artists and inspiring all sorts of seasonal cooking with Food Network chefs. Each day, stop by the Dish for a new drawing and Nate and Salli's liner notes about the illustrations and the artists. Tell us which you like and why. A dollop of this, a dash of that and some talent add up to interesting ideas in the kitchen. Visit theydrawandcook.com for more info.
This is a really great design to kick off a month's worth of wonderful holiday recipe illustrations. At They Draw and Cook, we think this is such a fun and festive collage. It captures everything we love to see in an illustrated recipe: a nice layout, interesting typography, good color palettes, creative approaches to illustration, a bit of a story and, of course, a great recipe! The artist whose work is shown here, Alison Kolesar, is an awesome illustrator – she has the best handwriting, and her whimsy is simply magical.

The Daily Squeeze: Cave Men, Private Rooms, And Smirting
Women's Roles In the BC Era
In old movies about prehistoric times (Conan the Barbarian, One Million Years B.C., etc.), the women were gorgeous and scantily clad, but at least they didn't have to sit on the sidelines. Check out the trailer for 10,000 BC. Women figure in it for about .0001 seconds. And apparently the role of women in the movie is equally sucky — they don't have much going on except for getting abducted and sold into slavery, and staying at home trying to stay warm. "In the classic prehistoric film, whether it is Quest for Fire or The Clan of the Cave Bear, the women don't just stand around waiting to be rescued," writes Joe Queenan. "They go out and strangle people or lop off their enemies' heads or eviscerate sabertooth tigers. They do all this with brio and gusto. And they usually do it while wearing bikinis." Heck yeah.

EPA Task Force Holds Event in Houston4/29/11
HOUSTON, TEXAS – Today, Congressional EPA Task Force membersRep. Joe Barton (TX-6), Rep. Ted Poe (TX-02), Rep. Pete Olson (TX-22), Rep. Kevin Brady (TX-8) visited the Houston Ship Channel to learn about the latest efforts to improve the environment and air quality in the Houston area. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) provided demonstrations of several pieces of high tech, mobile air quality testing equipment being used to track and measure the progress of improving air quality in Texas. Members were also briefed by industry leaders to learn more about how EPA regulations have destroyed jobs and business in Texas.
"If you listen to folks that don't think a lot about Texas you would think that our air quality is going downhill, but from 2000 to 2010 it has actually improved and this is while we added 4 million new residents and created more jobs than any other state in the union," said Rep. Joe Barton. "I'm not a climatologist, but I can read election results and it looks to me like the Obama Administration has decided to be punitive toward our state – the biggest Republican State – and they are doing it by picking on our successful flexible air quality permitting process."
Rep. Pete Olsonsaid, "Texas is in the crosshairs of a radical EPA that refuses to acknowledge the fact that our state has been a national leader in increasing energy production and reducing pollution. Yet, the EPA has repeatedly usurped state authority and continues to push damaging policies that will destroy jobs and hurt an already weak economy without improving air quality. My colleagues and I will continue to demand accountability and transparency and fight EPA policies that hurt our economy."
"The EPA is punishing Texas for not giving in to their demands. Instead of making an example out of Texas, perhaps the EPA should use Texas as an example," said Rep. Ted Poe. "Texas has simultaneously improved its environment and economy. Our state is dedicated to finding cleaner energy alternatives, but we also know that we need to utilize our known sources of energy effectively and safely. "
"Obama Administration officials keep chanting they are all about jobs, but their regulators continue to take actions that put Americans out of work," said Rep. Kevin Brady. From drilling moratoria to global warming rules, this administration's policies are holding our economy back. The EPA is currently pushing nearly 30 major new rules and over 170 other actions, but what they won't do is consider the impact their reams of rules have on our workers and their families. The EPA needs to Stop Messing with Texas."
Industry officials explained that chemical plants and refineries directly employ 75,000 Texans, with another 400,000 related jobs state wide. They also pay more than $1 billion in state and local taxes.
All these jobs and tax revenue were created while industry reduced emissions, which contributed to improving air quality around the state.
The Congressional EPA Task Force is made up of state and federal officials, who are on the front lines of protecting Texas from the job-destroying over-regulation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. During a question and answer session the group discussed what has been going on legally and legislatively in Washington and Austin. The task force will continue to work on strategies that will protect Texas' environment while at the same time promoting economic growth. They have been holding events like this around the state to draw attention to Texas successes in the areas of economic growth and environmental protection.

Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.Taylor Swift
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.Taylor Swift
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?Taylor Swift
And I just wanna show you she dont even know you Shes never gonna love you like I want to And you just see right through me But if you only knew me We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable instead of just invisible.Taylor Swift
Being FEARLESS isn't being 100% Not FEARFUL, it's being terrified but you jump anyway...Taylor Swift
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles screaming, "I'm in love with you." Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more. And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need is on the other side of the door.Taylor Swift
All this time I was wasting, Hoping you would come around. I've been givin' out chances every time And all you do is let me down And it's taken me this long baby But I figured you out And you think it would be fine again But not this time aroundTaylor Swift
He'll never fall in love he swears as he runs his fingers through his hair, I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong.Taylor Swift

George: I thought that her role in Franklyn was the main one… I mean she's credited first! I don't know though, because I haven't seen the movie yet.
Posted on June 04, 2009
Johnny: You are right about the credits but in the film she shares the leading role with Philippe and Riley (…at least according to me). In Cracks I think that she should dominate the movie…
Posted on June 07, 2009
George: Oh I see now what you meant when you said "first leading role of Eva". Surely she will dominate the movie, I'm quite eager to see Cracks too
