Skater Messes With Guy's Bush, Guy Loses It
I know that image doesn't look very interesting, but the video after the jump is the funniest thing I've seen all day. A middle-aged dad wearing shorts flips out on a passive, terrified 20-year old skater boi because he moved a decorative bush in order to create a jump for his skateboard.
He shrieks at him for a few minutes. Then the guy's girl calls the cops and the poor kid just sits there during a few minutes of deliciously awkward silence.
Daaa-aad, stop. You're embarrassing me.
NSFW Language!

The guy overreacts, but he is right. Both the skater and the guy are idiots. I'd be mad too if some dumb kid kept digging up plants in my yard or in front of my business. The old guy is waaaaaay overreacting though.
By James Ensign
While the skateboarder should not have removed the bush, the plant owner is so over the top, and unable to control both his anger and his f-bombs, that many viewers will probably support the skateboarder. The skateboarder agreed to pay for the damage. Case closed. It should have ended there.
However, the foul mouthed plant owner continued to be demeaning, verbally abuse and debasing to the young man, and is probably guilty of what is known as false inprisonment, preventing the young man from getting help or assistance from a parenteven walking around for what is, compared to the heavy handed verbal abuse from the plant owner, a relatively trivial problem with a plant.
The lady who at his direction called the police, perhaps his wife or employee, can't even stand being near the plant owner.
No one will remember the skateboarder-just another skateboarder who thinks-wrongly-that other person's busineses and property are just one large skateboarding park-but the whole wide world has surely heard enough from the plant owner and and have passed judgement. He's certainly guilty of limited ability to control his mouth, of shouting obscenities and being endlessly verbally abusive to the skateboarder, showing his immaturity, bad judgement and not being able to put this incident in adult perspective.

i would have beat the crap out of the punk
By Rachel
Kid says sorry and offers to pay for it. Response: "I can run really fast!" Um. Okkkkkkk? He needs to chill out over his plant life or he'll pop a vein!
By LLD
Wow...Think this plant guy has misplaced anger. The skateboarder's maturity and ability to handle the verbal abuse and aggressive behavior probably prevented what could of turned into a really bad scene. Not to say the skateboarder was totally in the right...But the plant guy was totally wrong and breaking more of a law if you ask me. Maybe he needs to take up a stress relieving exercise like skateboarding or gardening.
By Iravincius
I don't really get everybody's reaction over here.
Did the old guy overreact? probably. Was the skater mature in the way he responded to the guy blowing a gasket? Totally. But why the hell was the guy pulling out plants somebody paid for and planted? It doesn't matter he apologizes and offers to pay for it. Point is he's destroying other people's property.
I can understand why the dude is angry if he'd have to replant those bushes a bunch of times because somebody thought it was cool to constantly rip them out of the ground, just so they'd have something to jump off of.... o_O
lol like this dude says "But the plant guy was totally wrong and breaking more of a law if you ask me." are you kidding me?
By Noah G
Yeah... 19 seconds in he clearly grabbed the kid which is illegal. If I were in this situation it would have played out quite differently. Good job on filmer that kept filming. Obvious abuse verbally and for a second there physically.

Hagerstown Woman Pleads Guilty to Harboring a Fugitive
Baltimore, Maryland - Jennifer Gouff, age 30, of Hagerstown, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to harboring a fugitive, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to the plea agreement, the man with whom Gouff lived was indicted on gun and drug charges. When agents went to arrest the man, he was not in the home but Gouff was. Gouff was advised by law enforcement that the man had been indicted and there was a warrant for his arrest. Law enforcement agents contacted Gouff several times to determine the whereabouts of the man. Gouff advised the agents that she had spoken with the man by telephone but that he was in West Virginia and then later in New York.
On October 15, 2007, agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Marshals Service received information that the man had returned to the home in Hagerstown where he and Gouff resided. Agents went to the home and Gouff let them in. The agents found the man hiding in the armoire in the master bedroom of the home.
Gouff faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Chief U.S. District Judge Benson E. Legg has scheduled sentencing for September 18, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Marshal Service for their investigative work. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Christopher J. Romano, who is prosecuting the case.

Cate Blanchett Infuses 'Blue Jasmine' with Literary Complexity
The parallels between Tennessee Williams' Blanche DuBois and Woody Allen's title character in "Blue Jasmine" have been well-documented. But the complexity of Cate Blanchett's performance puts Jasmine in a class of literary predecessors that includes Jay Gatsby and Tom Ripley, dissemblers who will stop at nothing to convince themselves and others they are to the manor born -- not by birthright but by deceit and more than a little self-delusion.
Of course, financial fraudster Bernie Madoff's spouse, Ruth, factors in as a real-life model for Allen's Upper East Side trophy wife -- disgraced by her husband's transgressions and stripped of her leisure-class comforts -- but it's Blanchett who does something astounding with the role, straddling that delicate line between loathsome materialist and tragic dreamer. "I'm not particularly interested in playing for sympathy with an audience," says Blanchett, who's being honored Feb. 1 at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival as Performer of the Year. "I think you've got to present a character warts and all. The point of compassion I had for her is that she's a woman who changed her name, who was estranged from her biological beginnings. So she's been born into a fantasy and created a fantasy."
By the time we meet Jasmine, her Ponzi schemer of a husband has already committed suicide, forcing her to live with her adoptive sister. But instead of picking up the pieces, she dwells on the past, hooked on vodka martinis and rambling incessantly to herself or others. Her blue-blood carriage is at odds with her increasing desperation, unable to bear the lower-middle-class reality she worked so hard to escape.
As Blanchett tells Variety, Jasmine is the architect of her own "spectacular downfall" by giving up her own aspirations, by calling the feds on her husband when she learns of his marital transgressions, by continuing to live a lie when honesty might have earned her some measure of salvation.
Blanchett played Blanche, a part that drama critic John Lahr calls "the Everest of modern American drama," on Broadway in 2009 to great acclaim. "Blanchett, with her alert mind, her informed heart, and her lithe, patrician silhouette, gets it right from the first beat," wrote Lahr in the New Yorker at the time. And similarly with Jasmine, Blanchett -- a critics' darling ever since her breakthrough role as "Elizabeth" in 1998 -- has earned some of the best reviews of her film career.
"Cate Blanchett tops anything she's done in the past," wrote Joe Morgenstern in the Wall Street Journal; "beyond brilliant," exhorted exulted Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle, "this is jaw-dropping work, what we go to the movies to see."; "stupendous centerpiece performance," said Rex Reed in the New York Observer.
Unlike many actors who take the occasional stab at stage work to keep themselves legit, Blanchett's theatrical roots are planted deeply, as she runs the Sydney Theatre Company with her playwright husband, Andrew Upton, and has tackled some of the medium's most challenging roles, including Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," Mamet's "Oleanna." and Susan Traherne in David Hare's "Plenty."
It's hard to think back to a time when Blanchett wasn't a force to be reckoned with. Just like Jessica Chastain in 2011, she seemed ubiquitous in 1999 and has been highly in demand ever since. She has since become Australia's version of Meryl Streep, a chameleon with the need to continually challenge herself dramatically. She has played English royalty ("Elizabeth"), Hollywood royalty (Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator") and rock royalty (Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There") with equal intelligence and razor-sharp instincts -- as sharp as those famous cheekbones of hers.
And the directors with whom she has worked -- Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Todd Haynes, Shekhar Kapur, Anthony Minghella, Peter Jackson, Joe Wright, Wes Anderson, Gillian Armstrong -- have all benefitted from an actor who manages to elevate their material in mesmerizing ways.
"The thing that's wonderful about Cate is that she is an incredible actress who can transform; she can play anything," says Armstrong, who directed Blanchett in "Oscar and Lucinda" and "Charlotte Gray." "There's a real sense of, I don't know whether it's strength, inner fiber or intelligence, that's there, but that's her."

West Ham to appeal Andy Carroll red card
West Ham will appeal against the dismissal of striker Andy Carroll in Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Swansea, manager Sam Allardyce confirmed.
The England striker, making his third start of the season and long heralded as the Hammers' likely saviour by Allardyce, twice provided cushioned headers for Kevin Nolan to score before being sent off for an altercation with Swansea defender Chico Flores.
Carroll caused chaos in the visiting defence, but 14 minutes into the second half he received a straight red card from referee Howard Webb after appearing to brush the defender with his elbow.
– West Ham manager Sam Allardyce
We will appeal it, yes.
We will hope that the appeal will work. Hopefully we don't lose Andy for three games.
He's gutted. He's absolutely beside himself. We'll just have to go through the process and see what happens in midweek.

Minnesota Waitress Sues After Police Seize $12,000 'Tip'
Stacy Knutson, a struggling Minnesota waitress and mother of five, says she was searching for a "miracle" to help her family with financial problems.
But that "miracle" quickly came and went after police seized a $12,000 tip that was left at her table. Knutson filed a lawsuit in Clay County District Court stating that the money is rightfully hers. Police argue it is drug money.
Knutson was working at the Fryn' Pan in Moorhead, Minn., when, according to her attorney, Craig Richie, a woman left a to-go box from another restaurant on the table. Knutson followed the woman to her car to return the box to her.
"No I am good, you keep it," the woman said, according to the lawsuit.
Knutson did not know the woman and has not seen her since, Richie said. Knutson thought it was "strange" that the woman told her to keep it but she took it inside. The box felt too heavy to be leftovers, Ritchie said, so she opened it -- only to find bundles of cash wrapped in rubber bands.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While there are dozens of publicly traded bank stocks, only six actively traded names get a "Buy" rating of A (Excellent) or higher from TheStreet Ratings.
TheStreet Ratings takes a very conservative, long-term approach to stock ratings, placing its emphasis on long-term total returns as well as revenue trends, capital strength and dividends. The ratings also consider short-term performance, financial stability and volatility.
With the banking industry still in recovery mode, many of the best-known industry players are still trading at relatively low multiples to book value and earnings:
- Shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) closed at $41.25 Friday, returning 26% year-to-date, following a 20% loss last year. The shares trade for 1.2 times tangible book value, and for eight times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $5.20. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is $4.71. JPMorgan's operating return on average assets (ROA) for the 12-months ended June 30 was 0.79%, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight, while its return on average equity (ROE) was 9.55%. The big story for JPMorgan Chase this year has been second-quarter losses of $4.4 billion for the company's Chief Investment Office. Then again, the company still managed to earn a $5.0 billion profit during the second quarter. JPMorgan's stock is rated a B-minus (Good) by TheStreet ratings. A rating of B-minus or higher is a "Buy" rating.
- Bank of America (BAC) has seen its shares return 64% year-to-date, through Friday's close at $9.19. The shares trade for 0.7 times tangible book value, and for 10 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of 91 cents. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is 0.55%. Over the past four quarters through June, Bank of America's ROA was 0.52%, while the company's ROE was 4.84%. The low valuation to book reflects the uncertainty over the company's ultimate risk from mortgage repurchase demands, which increased 41% during the second quarter alone, to $22.7 billion as of June 30. Bank of America's stock has a "Hold" rating of C (Fair) from TheStreet Ratings.
- Citigroup (C) closed at $33.81 Friday, returning 28% year-to-date, following a 44% decline during 2011. The shares trade for 0.7 times tangible book value, and for 7.5 times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of $4.53. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is $4.09. Citi's ROA over the 12-month period ended June 30 was 0.55%, and its ROE was 5.78%. The company continues to follow CEO Vikram Pandit's long-term strategy of winding down the noncore assets placed within Citi Holdings, and investors hope eventually to be rewarded through a major return of capital, as the balance sheet continues to shrink and the company reverses some or all of its deferred tax valuation allowance. Citi is rated a B-minus (Good) by TheStreet ratings.

I've been using Yahoo groups to run a couple of PBEM RPGs.
A Song of Ice and Fire where players each control a house looks like a PBEM could work well to play a house vs house type game.
Is anyone thinking of trying to run such a game?
I would be interested in playing.

Battlestar Galactica's creator Ron Moore's new Syfy series Helix may give you nightmares if the new key art is any indication.
The drama tells the story of a team of scientists from the Centers of Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves in a struggle that holds the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation.
Syfy picks up series from Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore
Based on the key art, it looks like that disease will claim some of those scientists -- and it won't be pretty. Ack!

Reflecting on PRSSA trip to Chicago
by Robert Stewart, Director
Back in early March, 40+ students headed to Chicago to visit some of the big communication agencies in the Windy City, including Ogilvy, GolinHarris, Weber Shandwick, Ketchum, Burson Marsteller and more. They also hosted a networking dinner with some of the pros they met. The video above was sent to me and I thought others might enjoy watching it.

U.S. Personal Debt Shows Declines in Major Areas
Posted 2/25/2013 12:00 am
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, in its January 2013 "Page One Economics Newsletter," addresses government debt in the context of personal and household spending.
This graph above shows that the "total level of household debt has decreased since 2008. While mortgages still represent the largest portion of household debt at $8.03 trillion, the level has been falling. Outstanding student loan balances have been growing and currently stand at $956 billion." (HE stands for home equity.)

Your regularly scheduled program of regularly scheduled training posts will return shortly. . .
Just A quick post to beg some training advice.
Magnus is obsessed with shoes. I'm considering getting him professional help as he this obsession is now bordering on addiction.
No shoe is safe in our house. Several times a day he proudly prances in and presents me with a shoe dangling from his teeth by the shoe lace.
Want to kick off your shoes after work? Well he wants us to, so he can quickly grab one as his spoil. Want to leave your muddy shoe at the door on the mat to dry? Oh, he will be thrilled to drag that muddy shoe through the house trailing mud as he goes.
He has yet to ruin a shoe, he isn't chewing them up, but rather thinks they are some kind of prey to sling around and shake to death by that convenient string laced through their neck.
So here is my question, can you train a dog to have his own shoe? Can I give him an old shoe, such as the one I have been watching him drag inside, outside and all around for the last hour, and let it be his? If I let one shoe be an acceptable toy am I setting myself up for a lifetime of shoe management and containment? Do all shoes have to be off limits, total shoe zen by default?
If it is possible to explain, "This ONE shoe is yours, but all the rest of the shoes are mine" how do I train that?
His joy over his shoe right now drives me to ask this crazy question and my faith in all of your expertise lets believe you will have an answer for me!
A challenge is, "A test of one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking."
So far the 2011 walking challenge is living up to its name for me. Testing my abilitity to not be a wimp about weather, my resources of winter walking gear, demanding I get out there and walk with the pups and certainly stimulating me to do so.
I'm so glad I made this a year long challenge. It seems much less about the miles and much more about just getting the dogs some exercise. That's not to say I'm not technically behind in the one mile per day quota. With 48 days of the year gone I should have 48 miles. The 9 miles completed is not too close to 48.
The great thing is I don't feel behind and thus overwhelmed. I hope the challenge is having the same effect on all who are participating. We have all year to get those goals accomplished.
My Favorite Walk So Far
My family has a long history with George. My grandparents used to live close to where George has lived for what I suspect has been thousands of years. When we would visit my grandparents they would take us on a walk to see him.
It became somewhat of a tradition to gather up the family and hike up to see George. As we got close my grandma would excitedly say, "Can you see it? Can you see the elephant?" Everyone could see him, he stands tall into the desert air. A red sandstone giant against a deep blue sky.
Everyone but me that is. In the fashion of children who don't want to let their elders down and don't want to be left out of the fun I started saying I could see our friend George. What I could see was a tall stack of red rocks sticking up from a relatively flat desert area, it did not look like anything resembling an elephant.
So this trip I decided to come clean. I admitted my childhood inability to see our friend George decided to walk up and visit him again.
We started out in warm sunny weather through deep red sand. Passed dormant winter rabbit brush and sleeping sage brush.
The dogs loved the freedom of loose long lines and no side walks to dictate their route. I loved the quiet desert air with only the sound of our footsteps and the chattering of my aunt and mom to listen to.
As we approached George towering into the sky, waiting for us like an old loyal friend the only thing missing was my grandma's excited voice asking me, "Can you see the elephant?"
It's hard enough when we see our 4legged family limited by age, but far worse when our 2legged family can no longer clamber around with us as they did in their younger days.
Thankfully my mom took up the torch and piped in right in time, "Can you see it? Can you see the elephant?"
And I could! I could see George stoically observing us from on high. What a relief!
Now I can check a couple more miles off my Walking Challenge goal, have another nice memory of another nice walk, and know I kept a family tradition alive.
How 'bout all of you? How is the walking challenge going? Do you have any fun, motivating stories or tips to share? Is there any suggestions or requests you have to make this challenge easier for you?
If you have a walking story post of your own share it with your progress in your comment and I will post the links so we can all hop through and see how we are all doing. Most importantly now is the time to update us on your progress, so leave any miles with your comment too.
If you'd like to join the Walking Challenge we welcome you. Just set whatever goal seems realistic for you and your 4legged friends and I will add you and a link to your site to the sidebar.
I had to take a brief hiatus from blogging this week to learn about splogging.
A splog is a spam blog where someone takes content from your blog and reproduces it for the purpose of increasing traffic to their blog without actually doing any of the work.
Unfortunately I was splogged this week. Fortunately I was splogged by someone that apparently didn't realize what they were doing was illegal and was very cooperative to remove the ten posts they had plagiarized and posted on their site.
It was a shock to click a pingback and find 10 of my posts on someone elses blog, along with randomly inserted pictures that were out of context and not one link, not one word of credit given to me.
Lessons From and For 4 Legs is all original content. It's not like I think it's the most important, life changing information out there, but it's a creative process that by law is my property. Needless to say I didn't react to the shock of having it stolen very well.
I always appreciate the people who think our experiences are worth siting on their blogs. I appreciate it even more when they give credit and links where due.
However, it can be a nightmare to resolve getting splogged so there are a few measures you can take to protect your blog.
Of course at the top of the list is a site wide copyright line. Mine is at the bottom of the page, you can also insert a copyright line to every post. RSS feeds are notorious for getting splogged so including excerpts, or summaries, can help protect you that way. Copyrights on all photo's are something I have been lazy about, but will now be included.
Thankfully this was an easy fix for me, but plagiarism in the blogisphere is becoming more and more prevalent. It's good to know how to protect these stories we share.
For us its back to Training Levels training, eye doctor appointments for the squinty eyed Maizey, some big Magnus news is in the works, and coming soon an actual Walking Challenge update. Got your miles started yet? Count them up we are ready to hear all the exciting walking stories!
I like to travel. Not as much as I like to stay home, but a trip now and then is fun. Especially if my 4legged friends get to go.
Traveling is a lot of work though. Especially if my 4legged friends get to go.
We are going on a short trip this weekend. I have family coming into town and we all become snow birds and get out the city to a warmer clime.
I guess it's the home body coming out in me, but today the staying home option seemed like a lot less work and a lot more fun.
I'm sure it's not, and I will be thrilled with the projected 60 degree temps, the sunshine, long, leash free walks in the desert, good food and good company. . . hmm. . . this is looking better after all!
It's not the first trip I have taken with the two fluffy pups together, but I'm wondering how it will go. Crowded house, four dogs, lots of family coming and going. . . hmm. . . maybe staying home is a good idea after all.
So how 'bout all of you? Do you travel with your 4legged friends? If so, what do you do to make it a fun time for all? Bring on the travel tips! I'm sure I need them if I'm going to make a success of traveling with an adolescent boy puppy, and a Princessface Maizey.

Man questioned over fraud
A Chinese man was detained at a League One football match by investigators probing an alleged overseas betting syndicate fraud.
He was held during the Coventry City v Crawley Town match at Sixfields Stadium in Northampton yesterday, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Sussex Police said the man was not arrested but was spoken to by the FA Fraud unit in relation to an alleged overseas betting syndicate fraud.

Something fruity but light and refreshing. That's what I wanted one hot steamy day in July. What I got… was exactly that! This nectarine imbued white tea from Snapple hit just the spot!
Quick Info
|FAB* Rating
|Blend Name
|Nectarine White Tea
|Iced Tea Base
|Country of Origin
|Package Type
|Price per Package
|17.5 fl-oz
|*Flavor, Aroma, Boldness
The Nectarine White Tea from snapple appears in a nice clean clear bottle with liquor that's light orange. This brew has no cloudiness which isn't reassuring to those who like to know real tea was used.
The aroma hints of light citrus with notably pungent sweetness. Just enough in the aroma to indicate this tea may be astringent or puckery.
While this tea certainly was refreshing, it failed to grab my palette and let me know it was a tea. The over sweetening of this beverage does clear disservice to the drinker but doesn't keep it from being enjoyable nonetheless.
If you don't like sweetened teas, or if you prefer to taste the 'tea' in your tea, this beverage is not for you. If you're looking for something to drink which is light in the mouth, easy to drink and found just about everywhere… give this blend from Snapple a go.

Sexual Ethics And Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur'an, Hadith And Jurisprudence
Annotation Stoning. Slavery. Honour killings. Homosexuality. In the context of Islam, these topics are frequently discussed but little understood. When debated, such emotive issues often spark heated argument rather than reasoned deliberation. In this lucid and carefully constructed volume, feminist academic Kecia Ali examines classical Muslim texts and tries to evaluate whether a just system of sexual ethics is possible within an Islamic framework. Seeking to avoid polemical argument, Ali explores key themes such as consent and control, which are crucial to any understanding of either traditional Islamic sexual ethics or the possibilities for progressive transformation in these ideals. Suitable for students and the interested reader alike, Sexual Ethics in Islam is an essential tool for understanding modern Islam in today's increasingly sexualised world.

This book is excellent! This woman is a brilliant scholar: quotes from a variety of texts, presents both (sometimes multiple) sides of an argument, and honestly reveals her own biases. I can't recommend this book strongly enough!!! Read full review
Review: Sexual Ethics And Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur'an, Hadith, and JurisprudenceUser Review - Sara Salem - Goodreads
Interesting book that analyzes the verses in the Qur'an that address sexuality. Although Ali comes to the conclusion that the Qur'an can only be re-interpreted to a certain point, she also reinterprets it based on Western epistemological tools. Read full review

Kyrgyzstan was once a major trade hub in Central Asia.
But weeks after the uprising that led to the ousting of the then president, Kyrgyz business leaders say that the country is paying a high price for the revolt, which has been followed by widespread instability.
Neighbouring countries have closed their land borders, disabling Kyrgyzstan from exporting anything, and tourists have been warned by numerous governments to stay away from the country.
Al Jazeera's Robin Forestier-Walker reports from Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, on how the interim government is struggling to steady the country's economy.

MediaLive brings together artists who explore forms of live audiovisual performance. The very notion of what it means for a work to be live, the interplay between modes of perception such as sight and sound, and the entanglement of human interaction with technology all come into focus as artists investigate the elasticity of form and content, bridging the analog and digital realms.
This three-day festival presents a variety of approaches, discusses the technology and underlying theoretical, formal and conceptual considerations, and offers opportunities to explore live media tools first-hand.

Chef Marco's orzotto with porcini mushrooms
Preparation time: 5 minutes
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, broken into small pieces
Let dried mushrooms stand in 4 cups of warm water for at least 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon or small strainer, lift the mushrooms out of the water, taking care not to pick up any dirt particles from the water. Place mushrooms on a paper towel and pat dry. Remove any visible remaining dirt. Strain the water, removing all dirt and debris, and put aside for later use. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, then add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and continue sautéing for 1 minute with frequent stirring. Pour 1/4 cup wine over mushroom–garlic mixture and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste; set aside. In a separate large pan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat; add scallion and sauté for 1 minute with frequent stirring. Add in barley and mix well. Allow the barley to sizzle in the pan for about 2–3 minutes, then mix in thyme and spices. Very slowly add remaining 1/4 cup wine, using a long wooden spoon to prevent steam from burning your hand. Reduce heat, then carefully and slowly add 2 cups of mushroom water to barley while stirring. Allow barley to simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. After 30 minutes, add in mushroom–garlic mixture. Continue cooking uncovered for another 15 minutes, adding remaining mushroom liquid a little at a time as needed, until barley is tender. Remove pan from heat, sprinkle grated cheese over barley, and mix in well. Let barley mixture rest for 5 minutes before serving, adding more mushroom liquid if needed. Barley should be moist but not soupy. Serve hot.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hillthwaite House Hotel
great stayfrom mybike321
Regular Touristfrom RegularTripper
We really liked Hillthwaite Housefrom rosieh
We stayed in the "Lodge" or annex, which is a separate building connected to the main house by covered walkway. Because we left it quite late to book we couldn't get an exec room, however the room we did get (double with jacuzzi bath but no lake view) was very nice. Large comfy bed, spotlessly clean, and well decorated/furnished.
The hotel is no more than a short stroll away so you don't feel "out of it" in the annex.
All of the staff were helpful and friendly, at check in, during our stay and when checking out. In particular there is a young Australian couple who seem to work incredibly hard at keeping things ticking over (and they are both a dab hand at multi-tasking).
The food is excellent, and there is a good wine list with wine/prices to suit most tastes. The dinner included in our rate was 5 courses, and the choice on the menu was well thought out. Breakfast menu is also extensive. The quality of the food is superb and it is very well cooked.
Overall the hotel has a nice atmosphere... nice mix of people/age groups and not at all stuffy (as sometimes this type of hotel can be, in my experience).
Hillthwaite House is situated between Windermere and Bowness - about a 20 minute stroll from each. The road up to the hotel is a slight hill and then the hotel drive gets quite steep (but it's short and manageable). It was nice to leave the car behind for a day and walk around/take boats and buses.
The pool and sauna are nice to spend a little time in before breakfast or dinner.
I would struggle to criticise this hotel - apart from the creaky floorboards in the room above ours!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this hotel for anybody looking for a relaxing break in a great location with excellent food.
Fantastic food and servicefrom lindai
The best aspect of our stay was the delicious food - every meal was fantastic. In particular I was impressed with the quality and choice of vegetarian food. If you don't like what is on the evening menu, there is also an alternative vegetarian menu with around 6 choices of both starters and main courses. I'd definitely recommend the goats cheese puddings - I've asked the chef for the recipe! My husband reports that the meat dishes were also exceptional. We would definitely recommend Hillthwaite House and are looking forward to returning for another trip. It offers great food, friendly staff, comfortable accommodation and lovely views - and overall we felt our trip was great value for money.
what a let downfrom firstclassalltheway
Fantastic stayfrom memberld
The weekend was booked by our son and his new wife as a thank you for all the help that we had given them for their wedding recently, and they were concerned as they booked it on recommendation from acquaintances of theirs, but we will certainly be visiting the hotel again.
Tired, shabby and in need of serious refurb!!from MrChunkywunky
Good but not quite there...from spal
There are lots of good things about the Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and helped keep the surprise of us all attending. They were also helpful in setting up the birthday cake, etc, on one afternoon. The position of the hotel is very good with excellent views over the lake and the hills. The food was very good, although perhaps a bit of a limited choice.
However, the decoration generally of the hotel is a little tired and a bit shabby in some places and is not helped by the displays of plastic flowers. Our room, which was a lake view room supposed to be above the standard level of a double room was small and the ceiling paper had clearly come off due to damp at some stage and had been roughly and not completely stuck back.
The Hotel is supposed to be generally non-smoking, except for designated areas, yet by brother's room smelt very strongly of smoke, more so than perhaps someone just lighting up as a one off.
My daughter who had a single room looked out on to the inner courtyard area and the back door to the kitchens and was kept awake late at night and early morning by tidying and preparation.
Note that there is no lift - so disabled persons would have to be on the ground floor with limited view.
We also had probelms with hot water in some rooms when there was high demand in the early evening.
Whilst the food was good the service was slow. The hotel was relatively full but they seemed to have too few staff on duty to cope with the numbers, dspite having 1/4 hour time slots for dinner. At breakfast on both mornings we had to wait 20 minutes+ for our cooked breakfast, with tea and toast delivered earlier so was cold and needed replacing.
The Hotel pool "complex" consisted of a very small pool (10 meters long?) and a small steam room and sauna. There were no secure lockers in the pool area. If you got more than about 6 people in the pool it was full.
So overall, whilst we can't say the this family event was spoiled I think the general feeling of the group was that it was perhaps not quite as good as it could have been. We wouldn't throw our hands up in horror if someone said they were going here, but we won't be rushing back all the same.
Fabulous!from Yoonie

Top Local Tips for Windermere
There are some excellent walks nearby. Excellent walks nearby. A visit to Brockhole visitor centre - It's free to get in, you just pay for parking in the pay & display car park. It has a great adventure play area for kids and you can get down to the lake & get a boat trip from the jetty on a small boat.
A very busy town If you are looking for a quite weekend away avoid Windermere town centre, take yourself further afield to a smaller town or village where there will be less people and you can really enjoy the Lakes experience. Too many tourists in Winderemere!

The Shanghai Seagull Camera Co Ltd is part of Seagull Digital & Image Co., Ltd. located in Shanghai, China, and is the largest camera manufacturer in that country. The present company grew out of an organisation which dates back to 1958 called the Shanghai General Camera factory.
Seagull camera is currently involved in the production of traditional film, digital and stereo cameras. One of its best known products is the Seagull-4 twin lens reflex modelled on the Franke and Heidecke Rolleiflex and Rolleicord cameras produced in Germany since the 1930s for medium format photography enthusiasts.
The Seagull 4A-105 is an entry level camera with a coated 3 element Cooke triplet type Hai-ou (or Haiou) picture taking 75 mm, f/3.5 lens while the 4A-107 features a 75 mm, f/3.5 four element coated lens in three group lens. Both these models and the lower priced 4B types are soldily made cameras with cast metal chassis and black painted brass furniture. The 4A-107 was available as a limited edition in red and gold finish. Both this and the standard model have an automatic crank film wind and the 107 enables users to see aperture and shutter settings in a top of body window.
Shanghai Camera have also made many other roll film models including the bellows folder Seagull 203 and 205 with coupled rangefinder based on the Zeiss Super Ikonta III and IV. A number of 35mm format cameras, essentially copies of Leica film cameras, have also been produced. These include the Shanghai 58 - 1, a copy of a Leica IIIf, and Shanghai 58-II model c, b and d from 1958 to 1963.

What an empty and worthless article. Had NG tried any investigative journalism they would have discovered that in 2013 US stranding network rescued exactly ZERO stranded whales. The truth is the situation with stranded whales and dolphins in the US is dire. Nearly all are euthanized or denied help, rescue and medical attention. Just few days ago mom and baby dwarf sperm whales were killed in Florida. NOAA gives permits to the Navy and Big Oil left and right, but when whales and dolphins strand there is no will, no desire and no money to help any of them. Articles like this one do not bother to look deeper into the situation either.

Published December 5, 2013
When whales are in trouble anywhere in the United States, a network of volunteers and trained biologists springs into action. Scientists have more tools and techniques at their disposal than ever, but they are not always successful in saving marine mammals in peril.
This week, biologists have been working to save a pod of 41 pilot whales that are stranded in dangerously shallow water in Everglades National Park, in southern Florida. The whales are stuck in a remote, western part of the park near Highland Beach.
Related to dolphins, pilot whales live around the globe and are nearly as large as orcas. They are mostly dark gray, brown, or black but may have some lighter patches. The animals can reach a length up to 21 feet (6.5 meters) and a weight of 7,050 pounds (3,200 kilograms).
Blair Mase, coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) marine mammal stranding network, told the Christian Science Monitor that 51 pilot whales had first been reported stranded in the Everglades, though six of those animals were found dead and four others had to be euthanized Wednesday because they were suffering and unlikely to survive.
Although at least three of the now-deceased whales were reported on the actual beach, the surviving animals are said to be stuck in about three feet of water, about 75 feet (23 meters) off the beach. Biologists from NOAA and the National Park Service spent most of the day Wednesday trying to corral the whales to deeper water with boats, without success.
"We want to set the expectation low, because the challenges are very, very difficult," Mase told the Monitor.
Speaking from his office in Washington, D.C., Trevor Spradlin, a marine mammal biologist with NOAA's standing network, told National Geographic that the whales had been first reported by a group of fishermen. "We have a hotline number and there are well-established communication trees, so whenever someone sees a stranded marine mammal … eventually it winds up with us," said Spradlin. He added that a fisherman or a tourist on a beach will often call a local authority, such as a sheriff or a lifeguard, and then the news will make its way up a chain to NOAA. (See "Why Are Dolphins Dying on East Coast?")
Whale-Saving Network
The agency works with a network of professional biologists and volunteers across the country who are trained to respond to marine mammal strandings, through a program that was formalized by 1992 amendments to the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. The network has a presence in all coastal states and reports to six regional coordinators and a national coordinator, who oversee the program and provide training and equipment.
In 2012, NOAA's network responded to more than 4,500 marine mammal strandings in the continental U.S., including Alaska. That number includes animals that were found dead, as well as animals found alive. Of the latter group, some were successfully pushed back out to sea, some were sent to rehab centers for treatment, and others were euthanized.
Spradlin said responders tend to see more stranded cetaceans (whales and dolphins) on the East Coast and more stranded pinnipeds (seals) on the West Coast. Many factors determine whether rescuers are successful in returning an animal alive to the water, said Spradlin, including the cause of the stranding in the first place, the animal's health and age, and environmental factors. Whales can get stuck in shallow water for a variety of reasons, including weakness from disease, hunger, or boat strikes; impacts of chemical or noise pollution; or social behavior.
Pilot whales are particularly at risk for group strandings, Spradlin said, because they are highly social animals that live in close-knit family groups, or pods. "Their need for group cohesion is very strong, so these animals stay together," said Spradlin. He added that scientists think a pod gets stranded after one animal first gets stuck, often an older or sick individual.
"The rest get caught up in tide fluctuations and they get lost, because they focus on being with the sick individual," said Spradlin. He added that such strong group cohesion can also be an asset to survival, because if the group can be freed, weaker individuals can receive protection and support from the stronger survivors.
Rescue Techniques
According to Spradlin, marine mammal rescuers rely on a range of techniques and technology, both of which have been improving over the past few decades. He added that working in marine environments faces the challenges of remote locations, corrosive saltwater, and fluctuations in weather and temperature.
But veterinary medicine for marine mammals in distress, in particular, is improving, said Spradlin. "The quality of care has improved significantly, and we've been able to train more people around the country to be responders, so we have a more robust network with better equipment," he said.
Spradlin said rescuers often use sound to try to move stranded marine mammals to deeper water. They often play back recordings of the animals' own calls, to try to lure them out. Or they play the sounds of their predators, to try to scare them away.
"Rescuers may bang on pipes, an old fisherman technique that puts sound in the water," added Spradlin. "It doesn't hurt them, but it can cause the animals to want to avoid the area."
Spradlin said biologists will also try to herd the animals out to sea with their boats, which he noted make sound and release bubbles.
If the animals are beached, the rescue attempt gets a lot harder. Depending on the animal's size and physical condition, people may try to move it into the water. "It's dependent on the availability of equipment, like heavy movers, slings, cranes, and things like that, and in remote areas it's almost impossible getting such equipment there in time," he said.
Healthy animals have a better chance of surviving a beaching. "Cetaceans are designed to live in water, so when they are stranded on a beach their internal organs aren't used to having that weight on them and they start getting crushed," said Spradlin. So when it comes to a rescue, "time is usually of the essence."
Volunteers are trained to keep stranded marine mammals cool and wet as long as possible, if moving equipment isn't immediately available. If the machinery doesn't arrive in time, or if the animal is severely compromised, "it's often best to euthanize it or it will have a very painful, slow death," said Spradlin.
Learning From Strandings
Spradlin stressed that NOAA and other scientists try to learn from each stranding that is reported.
The agency distributes tags through its network, with the goal of marking every animal that is successfully released. Electronic tags that beam information on the animal's whereabouts through satellites are preferred, Spradlin noted, although they aren't always available, so scientists may use a simple metal tag instead, often attached to a dorsal fin. "If they are seen later by a scientist or fisherman, they can report that the animal is ok," said Spradlin.
Animals that do perish are studied, with an eye toward better understanding the species and identifying the causes of its death.
Spradlin added, "Marine mammals are still fairly foreign to us. We know a lot more about terrestrial mammals, but marine mammals are so hard to study at sea."
When it comes to strandings, Spradlin said there can be many factors behind the problem. "If it is a human-caused situation, by pollution or things humans are doing to the marine environment, then those are things we have a responsibility to fix."
What an empty and worthless article. Had NG tried any investigative journalism they would have discovered that in 2013 US stranding network rescued exactly ZERO stranded whales. The truth is the situation with stranded whales and dolphins in the US is dire. Nearly all are euthanized or denied help, rescue and medical attention.

NOAA gives permits to the Navy and Big Oil left and right, but when whales and dolphins strand there is no will, no desire and no money to help any of them. Articles like this one do not bother to look deeper into the situation either.
I have long read a story in southern India where the will of a little girl moved an entire village to take up the rescue of a beached whale. They had used a slime which was made out of locally available plants in huge numbers, used it to slide it and pushed the whale back to sea. It might not be that easy everywhere but can this be used similarly coz it has no harm to do and what it requires is team effort. Just a small idea!!
Sharing, lots of people will want to know this.

Здоровье киту.
I really want to be a marine biologist. Next year I'm going to university to do zoology and im so excited!! =) I love these articles. Keep up the good work =)
Something I'd like to do too.
We actually do examine the stranded animals to the beach why do they do or when do they do or what makes them do, we do not know what it is exactally. as you said in the article it is a very hard part to study sea animals like sea mammals in the sea. We do need to know their life pattern to understand how they live and do things their own behavior so we can help them when they are stranded to the beach whether it is their own will or not. I love this ariticle~ thx for letting me get this information~^^

SUPERIOR - The middle of April is supposed to be a budding time for
spring sports teams, but thanks to old man winter empty ball fields have turned
into packed high school gyms.
"We have a schedule. We rotate with baseball and we've
just been doing what we can, making do with what you have," said Superior softball
coach, Amy Zembo.
The Superior softball team is just one of nearly every
spring sports team in the state who's had to practice inside and cancel games.
"Every time I send out an email about cancelling
something I kind of joke with our parent group or community and say we're still
undefeated in the spring," said Ray Kosey, athletics director at Superior
High School.
The only varsity competitions that Superior High School has
competed in this spring are indoor track and field. But, despite the lack of
games, there hasn't been much talk of pushing back the spring sports season.
"We have tournaments at facilities that are booked too
so we can't just say we're going to move our state tournament back another
weekend because that facility may not be open," said Kosey.
For now, all cancelled games will not be rescheduled. The focus
is on having playing fields ready once conference season begins. That may also
mean eliminating junior varsity games to get in varsity doubleheaders.
"It sucks to have all these games come at once because
of course I want to throw all these games, especially if they're going to be
conference games and I just hope my arm can hold," said Alison Wainionpaa,
a senior pitcher for the Spartans.
But, with another round of bad weather on its way, it
appears players and coaches are still one step closer to winter than spring.
"I'm hoping for spring to come," said Zembo.
The Superior softball team will play its first game Friday.
It will be indoors at the Irish Sports Dome in Rosemount, Minnesota.
As far as their first game outside, they're aiming for May 2nd
against Duluth East. That game would be on turf.
