Comedian Ben Roy on motorcycles, politics and how he's like Bill Cosby
Robert Drew Burleson This hilarious bit of photoshop wizardry, wherein Ben Roy is depicted as Vigo the Carpathian, is as gratuitous as it is hilarious.
Bill Cosby is the only comedian that everyone has listened to with their entire family. Everybody likes Bill Cosby.
He was our generation's comedy mega-star. I've told people a thousand times that I'm doing my impression of Bill Cosby. That's why I sit on a stool. It's skewed, though, because how I feel onstage is informed by performing music, like touching people and getting in their face. That's how music was.
Do you have books that you like reading to your son? Any favorite kid's books, or childhood favorites you've passed along?
I'm like the worst dad on the planet. If I like a book, it's almost never anything that will enrich him. I'm like, "Look Milo, it's a whole book about turds and how to identify different types of animal turds in the woods. It's called Who Pooped in the Park? As he's getting older, we've bought him a bunch of Choose Your Own Adventure fantasy books. We want him to develop an imagination. They don't necessarily have any philosophical view or social idea behind them, they're more about nurturing his creativity and letting him have fun and be silly. He's eight, you know? He's reading, I think it's called The Prince and the Magic Quest. Roald Dahl is great. We've been reading the BFG. Reading the BFG aloud to him is so fun because the way that the Big, Friendly Giant speaks is pretty funny. Dahl's use of language -- I hate to say this because it sounds so pretentious--
Sounding pretentious is what this series is all about.
Dahl's word choice is almost Mark Twain-esque. Bringing that authentic Southern dialect to life in literature is what Twain was known for. That Southern folksy way of talking. It's that way with Dahl, too, where you can sort of hear it and I can act it out for him. He enjoys that. He's a typical eight-year-old, though. When we read to him, he loves it, but when he has to read for school, it's like pulling teeth. He's a lot like I am; he doesn't like to sit still a lot. He'd rather go climb trees. When he was real young it was Where the Wild Things Are. We love all those classic childhood books. They're classics for a reason.

An unknown individual has entered rooms without permission, stolen money and destroyed students' clothing in Johnson Hall. After three weeks of such incidents, the episodes were reported to the Andover Police Department.
On May 6, a Senior in Johnson found that five pairs of her shorts had been cut up while she had been out of her room. When she was in the shower later that day, a sixth pair of shorts was cut.
The house counselors of Johnson, Erin Lanzo, Teaching Fellow in English, Patrick Farrell, Instructor in Math, Karen Farrell and Lixia Ma, Instructor in Chinese, gave the Senior money from the dorm fund to replace the shorts, but the money was stolen from her room, according to the Senior.
Other girls in Johnson recently found clothing in their drawers cut up as well, according to Ma.
Initially, the house counselors hoped that an individual would admit to the destructive acts and seek help from the Isham Health Center or the Graham House Counseling Center, according to Ma.
After a series of dorm meetings with Cindy Efinger, Dean of West Quad South Cluster, Paul Murphy, Dean of Students, Margaret Jackson, Associate Director of Graham House, and the house counselors, the incidents were brought to the attention of Phillips Academy Public Safety (PAPS) and the Andover Police Department.
Murphy said, "We don't really see this kind of stuff in dorms. Sometimes you see people taking things out of the dorm refrigerator or an item of clothing from laundry that's left out for days and weeks, but [these incidents] seemed to be out of the blue. Of course we don't have special ways to know what's happening either, so it made sense to also report [the incidents] to the police at that point."
According to Ma, the students were asked to report all suspicious behavior in the dorm.
Two Uppers who live in a three-room double heard someone moving around in their common room and knocking on their doors early in the morning. When they asked each other if they were up that early, both said that they had not gotten out of bed, according to Ma.
According to the Uppers, several other students also woke up to find their dorm doors opened at around 3 a.m. a few days prior.
Murphy said, "[Involving the police] sends a message to the dorm that, if it's happening from within the dorm, this is not just a prank. This is making someone's life miserable potentially, and it's possibly criminal.... [It] mattered to us to have the police come in and talk to the dorm after we had already met with the kids."
The Senior said, "[The shorts that were cut] were expensive shorts, so it's more than just a prank. It's more than annoying, but mostly it's just creepy to think that someone is going into your room when you're not there."
"Although it sounds scary, we all want to create a safe and happy environment in the dorm. [The students should be] alert but still not scared. They should know that unexpected things happen all of the time. I think most of the the dorm handled it very well," said Ma.
Murphy does not know whether the police plans to continue to investigate the incidents.
"We're just hoping for a good end of the school year and to not have anything happen between now and next week," he said.

Living Your Yoga: The Five Yamas of Patañjali
Inner IDEA: Essential principles for guiding your actions with students and in everyday life.
Even in childhood I had a philosophical bent. I distinctly remember sitting at the dinner table with my twin brother and discussing with him why the dog could eat hamburger and it became "dog," whereas we could eat hamburger and it became "us." An interesting question for a couple of 9-year-olds to pursue. Sadly, we never figured it out.
By my early 20s I had taken up the study of yoga, and my worrisome won- dering about the big questions of mean- ing and purpose in life was becoming more refined. Now I really wanted to "understand" what life was all about.

Not Fit For Human Consumption
May 14, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Sumayyah Meehan MMNS Middle East Correspondent
Bananas with brown spots. Rubbery carrots with wrinkled skin. Tomatoes with black spots and showing the onslaught of mold. These are just a few of the vegetables Reshmi, an Indian housemaid in Kuwait, bought today with her hard earned Dinars. As the global economic crisis takes on an even more alarming pace, those who already live a meager hand-to-mouth existence are finding it increasingly more difficult to put food on the table.
For Reshmi, and hundreds of thousands of poor expatriate laborers living in the Gulf region, eating food that is spoiled or not fit for human consumption is a part of daily life. There is a thriving black market for food that has been rejected for release into the marketplace. The majority of Gulf nations have strict quality controls in place to ensure that food being sold to consumers is of the best quality. The State of Kuwait, for example, is one such country that has a stellar reputation for food safety controls in coordination with the World Health Organizations (WHO) standards.
All edible food that is imported into the country must receive a stamp of approval from the Ministry of Agriculture before it even is brought onto Kuwaiti soil. Unfortunately, some shipments of food entering Kuwait are never inspected. Unscrupulous businessmen use wasta, or influence, to circumvent the food inspection process. They knowingly purchase food that is overripe or damaged from their suppliers for a mere fraction of the cost of fresh produce. Then they peddle it on the streets of Kuwait to unsuspecting consumers.
At any time of day, peddlers can be seen carting around huge boxes of mangoes on their shoulders. They often go door to door selling the poor quality produce to whomever will buy it. And the buyers are often plentiful, as the cities in which they sell the tainted goods are comprised primarily of poor day laborers. It's also very common to see the fruits and vegetables slated for sale outside of the mosques. Peddlers set up blankets and await customers just finishing up their prayers.
Tainted food is rife in Kuwait and is sometimes even purchased by restaurants. This year alone, five separate bloggers have reported cases of spoiled food being served to them. In one case, rotten tomato slices were discovered on a sandwich purchased at an American fast food chain and in another a woman found several large bugs stuck to the lettuce in her premade salad. In both cases, the restaurants in question were accused of knowingly buying rotten produce to offset some of their costs.
Most recently even medications have been found for sale on the Kuwaiti market that have already expired. In the most notable case, a packet of antibiotics was sold to a consumer at a local pharmacy with an expiration date of two years prior. The medicine was intended for a child and luckily the father read the expiration date before administering it.
Authorities in Kuwait have not been as swift in dealing with the problem of the rotten food and medicines that have escaped inspection and are being sold on the black market.
This is surprising considering the code of hygiene that restaurants, coffee houses and other eateries in Kuwait must live up to around the clock. The Kuwaiti government has a zero tolerance policy for restaurants found to be serving rotten food or preparing the food in an unhygienic manner. A group of dedicated inspectors perform surprise inspections at every eatery in Kuwait and their findings are usually published in the local newspapers. Offending restaurants are often shut down within minutes of failing the inspection.
However, cracking down on the spoiled food peddlers is a trickery task given that the target is in a constant state of motion. And unfortunately the evidence is typically eaten in good faith without a thought to its questionable origins. " I have to feed my family," Reshmi laments, "and am grateful for whatever I am able to afford even if it might make me sick."
Magic Post-Eid Banquet
October 25, 2007 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS)
Jackson–October 20–MAJC is pronounced "magic," and the magic of MAJC was evident Saturday night in the generous welcome offered to local non-Muslims by this especially well-connected Muslim community.
The event included singing performances by children, explanations of what it is to be Muslim, a warm atmosphere and fine food. Prominent people were present, including Michigan House Representative Marty Griffin (D-64th), who spoke very briefly and warmly to thank MAJC for hosting him.
Another speaker was Mrs. Gumar Husain, a social activist from Kalamazoo, described her understanding of marriage in Islam, describing it as a contract between two individuals. She described women's rights in Islam, explaining "what she earns is hers to keep and she shares in her husband's earnings too."
She looked at the audience and pointedly said to them, "Isn't that more than equal rights for women in Islam," and the audience applauded.
In a brief interview with TMO, the Accountant Khawaja Ikram explained his happiness with this year's MAJC event. Ikram is one of the main movers behind the MAJC community; he explained that the turnout was very good this weekend. "We ordered 300 seats and they are all full."
"When we started not very many people came. This year for the first time 250 people RSVP'd" on their own that they would be coming. This he explains is a sign of progress, when compared with the first year when the MAJC community had to make a point of calling back all of those invited to make sure they would come.
About 300 people were present for the evening, about half of those who came were Muslim, and of the Muslims about half were actually from the Jackson community–the other half were composed in large part of members of the Ann Arbor Muslim community.
MAJC's regular mosque is a converted two-story house–not large enough to entertain the hundreds of guests who attend this post-Eid "Introduction to Islam" banquet that MAJC holds. Therefore the event is held at local Jackson Community College.
The food for the event was provided by Kazi Catering from Rochester-and although the food was identifiably from the subcontinent and somewhat spicy, MAJC representatives explained to the guests of the evening that they had specifically asked for the food not to be too spicy.
Dr. Manzar Rajput, also of the MAJC community, explained that "We are very proud to be Muslim" and he expressed his happiness to be a part of the American and Jackson communities. "We are happy with the turnout–we have been doing this for 6 years and every year is better than the last."
MAJC also runs an annual event in which it feeds homeless people on one night at Thanksgiving time. Another ongoing program the mosque conducts is to provide support to a community of about 30 Uzbek families who have come to Jackson as refugees and are living without much support, jobs, or even knowledge of the English language.

Blue Colorado Spruce - Tree
Make sure the root ball of this beautiful Blue Colorado Spruce is well-moistened by placing it in a bucket of lukewarm water overnight. Prepare a suitable hole in reasonably good, nutritious garden soil that is not too dry. Improve poor garden soil by mixing in some compost. Plant the root ball at the appropriate depth, the top of the root ball should be just slightly below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting. Place your Blue Colorado Spruce in a sunny or partially sunny area.
The Blue Colorado Spruce makes an excellent combination plantThe Blue Colorado Spruce is a lovely dwarf form of the Evergreen Conifer. These conifers remain small, so there is always a spot to be found for them. You can plant the Blue Colorado Spruce in the rock garden. In a large pot or planter, the Blue Colorado Spruce combines well with Litho Dora Diffusa 'Heavenly Blue' and Hypericum Calycinum.
The Blue Colorado Spruce requires very little attention and is easy to maintain. During the first month after planting avoid the roots from drying out. Once the Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa' becomes established it will tolerate drought quite well. Pruning is not necessary since this conifer already has a beautiful shape.

Other Pets at Dog TAGS animal rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peter, a Marlton Shar Pei/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Marlton, or seeking a Shar Pei/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Marlton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marlton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Marlton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shar Pei/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Shar Pei/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marlton paves the way for another one to be saved.

It's hard to be First Lady of California and still keep your day job, especially if that job raises conflict-of-interest questions. Maria Shriver announced Wednesday that she will no longer try to juggle the two. ''After much soul searching, I have asked to be relieved of my duties at NBC News,'' the ''Dateline'' correspondent said in a statement. Nonetheless, she hasn't completely severed her ties with the network and could return well before husband Arnold Schwarzenegger finishes his term in Sacramento. ''I am proud of the work I have done at NBC News, and I look forward to going back there sometime in the future,'' Shriver said.
When Schwarzenegger ran for governor last fall, Shriver took a leave of absence from the network. Since his election, she has appeared twice on ''Dateline.'' Despite her vow to steer clear of stories involving California politics, she said she would not be able to shake off concerns others might have about her objectivity.
Still, Shriver retains a first-look deal with NBC to produce news specials based on her children's books for sister channels MSNBC and CNBC. (If they pass, she may sell the specials to PBS.) Her next book, which deals with Alzheimer's disease, will be published in May, the Associated Press reports.
Maybe that's why NBC News president Neal Shapiro refers to Shriver's departure not as a resignation but as ''an extended leave of absence.'' He said in a statement: ''I speak for all of us at NBC News when I say that we look forward to Maria's eventual return.''

Menopause is a term used to describe the permanent cessation of the primary functions of the human ovaries: the ripening and release of ova and the release of hormones that cause both the creation of the uterine lining and the subsequent shedding of the uterine lining. Menopause typically (but not always) occurs in women in midlife, during their late 40s or early 50s, and signals the end of the fertile phase of a woman's life.
The transition from reproductive to non-reproductive is the result of a reduction in female hormonal production by the ovaries. This transition is normally not sudden or abrupt, tends to occur over a period of years, and is a natural consequence of aging.
Menopause symptoms:
Irregular Periods
One of the first changes that you may notice in your life is the change of your menstrual cycle. Your periods would become irregular and very unpredictable. So, you will have to be prepared for your period at all times. Further, your period may be longer one month and shorter the next time. So, don't worry, lighter or heavier periods are normal.
Hot/Cold Flashes and Night Sweats
You may experience sudden warmth or coldness flooding your body and this may lead to a lot of undesirable sweating. The sweating is more prominent in the upper half of your body. In fact, you may just wake up in the middle of the night feeling very hot in spite of the air conditioning. But relax, this are most likely caused by the hormonal and biochemical changes going on in your body on the onset of menopause.
Vaginal Dryness
The lowering of the estrogen (female hormone) levels in your body lead to the thinning of the tissues lining your vagina. Your vagina also becomes very dry and less elastic. Vaginal dryness can in turn lead to itching, irritation and/or pain during sexual intercourse. During menopause, women also become more susceptible to vaginal infections.
Urge Incontinence
Female menopause is also characterized by the loss of some volition over our muscles. This is especially irritating when we consider the muscles lining the urinary tract. Many women find themselves in embarrassing situations because they could not control their urge to urinate. This leads to leaking. Furthermore, women also become more prone to infections of the urinary tract on the onset of menopause.
Emotional Ups and Downs
Almost all women going through menopause suffer from frequent bouts of depression and lose a lot of their sense of self. They also suffer from frequent mood swings that can lead to increased relationship problems.
Besides the above female menopause symptoms, some women also complain of increased forgetfulness. They also say that they experience heavy weight gain during their menopause and found it increasingly difficult to lose these extra pounds. Moreover, the risk of osteoporosis and heart diseases also increase during menopause.

First Delhi meetup of RCB fan club
On a day when the sun played hide and seek with the clouds, a few RCBians decided to venture out for a meetup while some others played 'hide and seek' only.
I could hardly wait for Sunday to come. First RCB Fan Meetup in Delhi! Wow!
This was the day, I had been planning for a while and there was going to
be a lot of fun.
Proudly wearing my RCB jersey, I reached the venue and waited for the two
dozen odd people, who had confirmed their participation.
Life, however, always throws up twists, just like any silver screen
blockbuster and it surely did at that moment too.
I realized that it was past noon, the time designated for the meetup to
start, but, there was only me and a lot of curious passerbys.
'Traveling thirty kms and finding only myself to accompany me? Is this
how the day is going to turn up?" I was fidgety.
Finally, one then two, then three and a total of eight people showed up
to be a part of the event.
The gathering finally got underway about an hour late and we begun by
discussing about the CLT20 and analyzing our rival teams. Soon everyone turned
into the 'Super Selector' mode and came up with his/her own 'winning
The fun part of the activity was the curiosity that this bunch of fans in
RCB jerseys generated among the Sunday crowd.
After summing up the discussion, we filled our tummies with delicious
Chinese food. After having gobbled the food and ensured that some of the fellow
fans were not distracted by the pretty girls around, we sat down for a round of
quizzing. I hurled some really difficult questions at the fellows, who
surprisingly, fended them off like Rahul Dravid would have tapped down a Shoaib
Akhtar bouncer.
Jayaprakash, a new entrant to RCB fan club's Delhi bunch, surprised us
all with his knowledge about the game and he duly won the quiz. Second place in
the quiz went to Rishabh. Thereafter, since the weather was taking a turn for
the worse and we didn't fantasize getting stuck in the infamous traffic jams,
we had to end the meeting at that point itself. We all pledged to meet again
soon and to make RCB's Delhi
fan club, bigger, better and more active.
Latest comments
"In this day and age of long commute times, IT IS A HUGE CONTRIBUTION to turn up at a fan meet. "
Absolutely right! In a big city like Delhi, attending a meetup meant spending good bit of money on the commute and food etc. I do agree that there has to be a certain degree of incentive like the sponsorship or some loyalty points to be given to those, who participate.
However, this should be more directed towards the newer members and to convert others to RCBism. The loyal RCB fans should actively participate in RCB events. If we talk about time, nobody ever would have spare time in this world. If we have love and passion, we got to show it in action, rather, than claims to a certain degree.
Yeah I did pull it off and hopefully, it is going to be a regular thing in the days to come. Good luck and I am sure you will have a good one in Chennai soon.
It was indeed very frustrating especially when I had not just relied upon their fb confirmations. I sent fb msgs to everyone. Quite a few ppl sent their fone numbers to confirm. I sent msgs to all the cell numbers on the eve of the meet and again on the morning of the meet day. Still, people didn't inform about their unavailability and played the grand disappearing act.
Anyway, I am glad that some did take the pain to come forward for the meetup. The fan club will hopefully rock soon.
Your next statement "...unless ..." - I'm not sure if I can agree with that. In this day and age of long commute times, IT IS A HUGE CONTRIBUTION to turn up at a fan meet.
Why would anyone give away their time for free? Unless 'loyalty points' are introduced for participation in meet ups, and unless these points are treated as currency for "buying something money can't buy" I don't think fan meet ups will see much enthusiasm.
It's all like Old School Alumni meets - once in a blue moon (purposeful and with goodies) will be a huge draw; unsponsored, frequent meets will not easily attract fans
Unless you throw some goodies at them, some people just dont want do anything for free! It's a pathetic attitude i tell you...

You know cults.
They're tightly-bound communities drawn together by unconditional worship, secret languages, and wife swapping.
Then there's the cult of Archer, the politically incorrect, animated FX series that owes its legion of devotees to irreverent humor drawn in a mere two dimensions (though with plenty of wife swapping).
And for one night only, the voice cast of the popular spy series will stage Archer Live, including live scene readings and a Q&A with the stars.
Set to appear are H. Jon Benjamin (Agent Sterling Archer), Aisha Tyler (Agent Lana Kane), Chris Parnell (Cyril Figgis), Amber Nash (Pam Poovey), Lucky Yates (Krieger), Jessica Walter (Malory Archer), and series creator/executive producer Adam Reed (Agent Ray Gillette).
For die-hard fans, it's bliss. For those who've never seen Archer, catch up on Netflix now (there's plenty of time) or simply hit YouTube for some greatest hits.
Then, join the cult. You only need a turtleneck shirt, a dolphin puppet, and a ping-pong paddle.

Issue positions
This section is added to profiles about current officeholders and candidates for state executive offices. It is a subset of the elections section.
This section should only be included when officials or candidates have specifically outlined their issue positions either on their website, campaign website, or by answering Project Vote Smart's Political Courage Test or other similar questionnaires.
Below is an example of how this section would appear in an article. See also: Niki Bird Papazoglakis.
Issue positions
In a candidate questionnaire submitted to the Times-Picayune, Papazoglakis said:
Louisiana needs change. We need more jobs, better jobs, education and works for our children and politicians who work for the people.[1]
On her campaign website, she touches on the following issues:
- Criminal justice: Niki, as a longtime advocate for survivors of violent crime, believes in a strong, fair jusice system and supports policies that protect our community.[2]
- Government performance: "Niki Bird believes in a government that works smartly and efficiently for the people!"[3]
- Economy:
- "Did you know that the State of Louisiana collects 20 cents of every gallon of gas at the pump? That's well below the national average of 29.2 cents.
- Alaska has a revenue sharing plan with the oil companies in which the State of Alaska receives royalties from ALL the oil that is processed through their State. They only pay 8 cents per gallon of gas.
- Louisiana's plan differs in that we have a severance tax on oil and natural gas resources produced in our state which causes us to earn less of the proceeds, pay higher taxes at the pump, and absorb the environmental impacts without the resources to correct the environmental damage.
- Check out the LA Self Help Plan[4] for more information."[5]

Jun 13th 2007 4:06PM This very topic was discussed in the forums over at Subcreation, and the gist of the responses is that simply it is a matter of been there/done that.
2 plus years in a game, if you're going to hold people's attention you can't take the same thing and re-skin it so it seems new. At that point there has to be significant changes in the way you play your character in the game to keep your attention. I don't think WoW has quite reached that point yet. People are leaving, sure. But not enough to warrant drastic changes...yet. I still enjoy playing. Not as much as I used to though. It comes with the territory.
I'm looking forward to Warhammer, as I know are a lot of people. Why? Because it isn't WoW...

Turkish Market
The market stretches along the Maybachufer bank of the canal. Sample a smorgasbord of fat navel oranges, hot spinach böreks that flake to nothingness in your grasp, glowing aubergines, piles of octopus glistening in olive oil, every gradient of feta known to the Bosporus. The Anatolian young women in beautiful sequined chadors and men screaming out their prices until their voices break remind you of the greater world beyond the glacial forests and lakes of Brandenburg.

Home Hotel Buenos Aires
THE LOOK The brainchild of porteña Patricia O'Shea and her English husband, ex-record producer Tom Rixton, Home became the biggest boutique hotel in the Palermo neighborhood (thanks, in part, to the investment of U2's producer, Flood) when it opened last December. Scandinavian design, vintage French wallpaper, and a beautiful staff make this the home you wish you had.
THE SCENE British expats and hipster Americans in Diesel jeans and Prada sunglasses discuss music and film in the garden over cocktails and tapas. On Friday nights, Rixton and his DJ friends kick off the poolside party, with potent vodka concoctions passed around.
THE ROOMS All brushed concrete and understated Saarinen furnishings, the 17 muted rooms and two spacious suites are brought to life by vivid floral wall coverings and flower-filled window boxes. The showstopper is the secluded Garden Suite—its private plunge pool and rooftop terrace are perfect for hosting your own pool party.
THE SERVICE Upon arriving at a concierge-recommended ethnic restaurant in the neighborhood, we were pleased to discover that the hotel had called ahead—the maître d' greeted us by name and promptly seated us at a desirable table.
THE AMENITIES No breakfast buffet here. Instead, Home serves guests a small but delicious selection of medialunas (croissants) and breads, with fresh marmalades prepared by the owner's grandmother, as well as yogurt and exotic smoothies (try the celery, pineapple, and ginger). Don't miss the antioxidant grape wrap at the spa.
DIRTY SECRET There's a lot of construction going on in this trendy Palermo neighborhood, so don't be shocked if you wake up to the sound of a jackhammer.
NICE SURPRISE We loved the thyme- and-verbena bath soaps made by a local artisan especially for the hotel. 5860 Calle Honduras; 54-11/4778-1008; www.homebuenosaires.com; doubles from $115.
Palacio Duhau, Park Hyatt Buenos Aires
THE LOOK Originally built in 1934 by French architect León Dourge for the Duhau family, the hotel shares the block with two other stunning Neoclassical buildings. The entire estate merges innovative design with ironwork, crystal chandeliers, and gardens that recall the Belle Époque; this Park Hyatt may redefine luxury in the Argentine capital.
THE SCENE Expect diplomats and CEO's mingling with socialites in the bar and Baccarat Room. At teatime, Chanel-clad ladies of a certain age take over the elegant Piano Nobile lounge and terrace.
THE ROOMS An underground walkway and gallery connect the classical Palacio and its 23 guest rooms with a new building housing 142 rooms. All have hardwood floors, exquisite fabrics, and marble bathrooms—and every room includes butler service. IPod nanos loaded with everything from classical music to tango are available upon request.
THE SERVICE The multilingual staff knows the city inside and out and can arrange anything from a private backstage tour of the iconic Teatro Colón to an outing with a personal shopper.
THE AMENITIES Before dinner at the exclusive Duhau Restaurant, where wood-grilled dishes emphasize fresh ingredients, stop at the Vinoteca. The sommelier and maître fromager will pair wines from among 3,500 bottles of Argentine vintages with the best regional cheeses. The Ahin Spa, which takes its name from the language of the ancient Mapuche tribe of southern Argentina, has luxurious treatments with Comfort Zone products, an indoor heated pool, and an expansive fitness studio.
DIRTY SECRET Guests must sign up and pay a daily fee for Wi-Fi and broadband.
NICE SURPRISE Museum-worthy paintings and sculptures by local and international artists such as Guillermo Roux, Toutain, and Guerrero Medina are everywhere, as well as in the underground gallery, Paseo de las Artes. 1661 Avda. Alvear; 888/591-1234 or 54-11/5171-1234; www.buenosaires.park.hyatt.com; doubles from $410.

A very simple one that I am not aware of as i've never grown Canna's before. The 4 I have I got from a friend at a plant swap last Fall. Will they come back this year & if so, any preferred fertilizer/growing medium they like? Please let me know.
Thanks! - Steve |

Hi, Are the corms in the ground or stored in a basement? If they are in the ground in zone 7 it's best to mulch heavy over the winter. If they are in a basement or cool area wait to after first frost and if the corms are healthy they should come back and flower this year. As far as fertilizer goes I grow mine without any and they still do great. They appreciate a lot of sun for growth. Asageman |

Thanks for the reply/info. =) Sorry about my initial response. Maybe i'm just used to much busier forums. Anyways, while doing some getting-ready-for-Spring gardening this past weekend, I checked out the bed that my Canna's are in. There is a small (about an inch or so) stub poking out of the soil right where one of my Orange Cannas is! =) I figured the new ones would grow in the same spot as the old ones (ya know, grow through the old/dead foliage, eventually shedding it off), but I guess not...lol. One way or another, i'm happy they have returned. - Steve |

Hi All - Considering putting in a corner orientation for the main cleaning sink. It would be a much more efficient use of counter space. However, wondering how practical it is for loading the dishwasher? For those with this set up, how did you space your dishwasher so that it flows with loading movements? Or, if anyone has this and HATES it, tell me why. I'm all ears. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
My mom has had a corner sink with the dishwasher right next to it for probably 30 years now. It's fine for loading the dishwasher. If someone is standing at the sink, they can load without moving their feet at all. If the dishwasher door is down and you're walking to the sink from the one side of the room, you just have to walk around the door, but that would be the case even if the sink weren't a corner sink. |
- Posted by catbuilder (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 21:03
I had this in my last house and thought it was great. I put a 9" base pullout between the sink and dishwasher to give room to maneuver. All the dishes went in the cabinets on the other side of the sink. Plates, bowls, mixing bowls, flatware in the drawer base and glasses and cups in the wall cabinet. I had no trouble with loading the dishwasher. |
The corner sink with the DW separated with a 9" cabinet works out just fine as far as the DW goes. The reason I don't like the corner sink is largely because the front of the sink is smaller then the typical 36" base cabinet front. Only 1 person can comfortably be using the sink. Having our garbage in the cabinet below just exacerbates the situation. It does save counter top space but perhaps if you post your layout some of the designers can help. |
That set up has worked fine for us for almost 30 years in our small 10'x10'-6" kitchen. Sometimes you just have to work with what you have. It is no problem to load or unload the DW, in fact it is quite convenient to just turn and load while standing at the sink.... |
I have a corner sink with a 12" cab between it and my DW. I would not like having my DW right next to the sink, despite other posters' experiences. I prefer to have a bit more room to stand at the sink while loading the DW. As aloha2009 noted, a corner sink has less counter edge than a non-corner sink. I have about 22" across the face of my 42" corner sink cab. Hasn't really been an issue for us. What is a problem is how hard it is to clean the deep corner. I'm short so I often have to climb partway up on the counter to clean the farthest section. That said, if the kitchen lay-out that worked best for us required a corner sink, I'd do it again in a heart beat. |
My mom installed that arrangement when she redid her small kitchen and it really made for excellent use of space. She has the DW on her left, with a spice pull out between them to give her just a little room to shift around. Loading and unloading the DW is a breeze. In a perfect world corner sinks are not ideal but in her small space it worked well. |
The guideline is the edge of the DW should be a minimum of 21" from the center of the sink hence a 9" cabinet is often used. I usually place a 15" cabinet there is possible as it is more useful. I've never understand the "two people at the sink" argument, can't really fit two comfortably at a standard sink IMO. Trash placement is another matter, under sink is a headache but always is a last resort with any sink, ideally the trash would also have 21" clearance but kitchens that benefit from corner sinks rarely have both. A second small on the door trash can sometimes solve this, especially if there is a prep sink. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 17, 14 at 7:57
From personal experience, this is the "two person" scenario. One person is at the sink washing a pot, another person wants to wipe down the table. In my kitchen the 2nd person can come over rinse out the dishrag without making the 1st person move even one step. Let's say one person is at the sink and a 2nd person wants a glass of water. This doesn't happen all the time in our house but it does happen. No personal experience with corner sinks but it appears cramped to me. |
Have had a corner sink for 10 years and will have one in new kitchen. It's a great use of space. The only "con" is that two people can't use the sink at the same time, but, you know, everything in kitchen design has a "con". How often do you have two people using the sink at the same time anyway? The pros outweigh the con - my favorite pros being the enormous amount of room under the sink for garbage disposal and storage, and the corner sink allows long uninterrupted counter in the kitchen. The one "absolute must" of corner sink placement is to have a cabinet between the sink and the DW. So the order would be corner-sink-then cabinet-then DW. The ideal cabinet there is the garbage pull-out cabinet. It's an efficient location for garbage, and it allows the DW door to be opened without "trapping" the person at the corner sink. If you are a righty, it's preferable--though not essential--to have the garbage pull-out, then DW, on the right side of the sink. |
Thank you for the replies! Good to hear so many positive experiences with a corner sink. I feel better considering it as a truly viable option. |
Debrak- I understand the premise, just don't find it all that convenient to have someone trying to reach in front of me to get to the faucet when I'm there and I have an offset faucet. I don't play well with others, get your drink from the fridge, here I'll rinse that for you, stay out of my space, which is why a second sink was a "must" for my own kitchen, consider it the single best thing we did by fat. For any two person kitchen or most "cook and a helper" I suggest serious consideration be give to a second sink (and trash). |

OK, you have a Ficus benjamina cutting that you want to make into a bonsai. The first thing you should do is get a book on Ficus bonsai by Jerry Meislik. You can order it from his website: www.bonsaihunk.8m.com. The price is reasonable. Then I would find a bonsai club in your area by Googling something like "bonsai clubs". If you are in CA go to the Golden State Bonsai Federation website. They have a listing of almost all the clubs in CA with contact info. In order to control the shape of your tree you will need to wire it. The book and advice from experienced people will help you there. Until you can do that I would just grow the tree as if it were not a bonsai. It needs trunk development so let it go "wild" for a year or two to get some size to the trunk. Don't cut anything just feed and water it. Good luck, Jack |

Thank you for the advice Jack, il take off all the stuff holding it into place and allow it to grow. about the club though it might be a little hard to find one that is english as i am living in Rome at the moment, but il have a look. once again thanks. I would sure like to se a few Photos of your bonsais.. if your happy to share some photos |

Hey, not to worry, Italy has an active bonsai community. Google the name Michael Invernizzi. He is an Italian bonsai master who I admire a lot and I know he has a website but I don't remember the address. Anyhow I am sure you can find a bonsai club in Rome. Jack |

I am not sure about how it would handle it. Its been left in the same pot and needs to be repotted and probably needs its roots trimmed, but it is winter now so I will have to wait for spring.

YES!!! That is a good tree to make into a bonsai. It will have to be shortened gradually. Benjaminas do not like to be severly purned. I learned this the hard way. YOU MUST GET MEISLIK'S BOOK which I recommended in my first entry. He has great advice with illustrations on how to create Ficus bonsai from material like this. You should plan to start in the spring unless you have a greenhouse where you can keep the tree nice and warm all winter. Good luck, Jack |

About desoto's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Ever since I was able to hold a wrench in my hand I was helping my dad -a kind of McGiver type work around the house, truck and trailer. Rebuilding mowers, repairing equipment and the like. In Junior High shop class I rebuilt a 5hp Briggs that made a whopping 13 hp for 1 minute 32 seconds! Then I struck a deal where I traded yard work for a go-cart, another deal for a Honda 90. Rebuilt and fitted the motor onto the go-cart and my dad clocked me at 62 mph…. He never knew I was only in 3rd gear J Then came custom bikes and a chopper that was stolen on it's first long ride.
I spent several years serving my country in the Navy were I had a little restoration business- I was asked out for a beer with the Senior Chief and Division Officer at the Officers Club, I had my '64 shipped out to me and parking at the club drew some attention. After the 2nd pitcher the Division Officer had convinced me to help him and his marriage by restoring the military Jeep in his driveway… I did, and it was too nice of a job…. Thus started my restoration business. Old school bodywork, fabrication, fiberglass and painting I learned and have had many happy customers.
Just because a vehicle is worth thousands or a million isn't important to me. I look at it from the angle that someone had an idea and designed it, others built it -factory workers supporting their family. It was then delivered it to a dealership where it was purchased - more families in the process, and the vehicle became a member of a family. Oh the stories these vehicles could tell.
I like them all but I am more passionate about the ones that are in limited supply, and old Mopars. It seems at car shows and cruise-ins there are several Mustang's, Camero's and Cuda's...... I'm drawn more to the odd balls and orphans. The vehicles some would say "why did they trick that out?" To me it's not all about chrome and sparkle or how much money someone put into a car, it's about the hobby, the mechanical marvels and craftsmanship and the engineering of the vehicle.
My first car
My first car was a "hand-me-down" that my sisters used to go to college. It was pretty much on its last leg when I bought it from my Dad. The faded and scratched red with white top 1964 Plymouth Valiant Sedan. The car is "somewhat famous" haha…If you get a chance to see the movie "The Blue's Brothers" you can get a glimpse of it as Jim Belushi is running from tree to tree. Working at a dealership in high school as a parts runner/lot attendant I soon talked my way into the body shop and did my first complete total rebuild. Every panel nut and bolt was removed, cleaned, inspected and replaced if needed. I ended up with a candy wine exterior, Cordoba electric front buckets covered in sand velour, custom center console and ahead of it's time (1979) 300 watt stereo. I did everything the Mopar Performance book said to do to make the slant-6 & 727 a 13 second car. A total sleeper with 50 series Dunlops on cream steel wheels with baby moons and trim rings, it was undefeated in it's class for 9 years.
During the high school days I had 3-4 other cars just long enough to clean and repair to sell. Then I joined the Navy for a new Adventure.
Car I wish I still had
the '64 Plymouth
My dream car
it depends on the day: '59 MG, early '30's convertable coupe or pick-up.....'70 Cuda, 60's Corvette, this is a hard question!

Unlike the rest of the day, which is undeniably about the bride and groom, mealtimes at weddings are about the guests. As far as your guests are concerned, the food at your wedding can either make or break their experience of the day; a bad meal can put a damper on even the most perfect of ceremonies. You can avoid any mishaps by following these simple hints and tips.
Remind Your Guests
It is important to let your guests know where and when they will be eating, especially if you have different venues for the ceremony and reception.This should initially be on the invitation, but it can't hurt to repeat the information on the day – your guests might not have looked at the invitation since receiving it months ago.
Similarly, if you allow guests to select their own meal from a list of options, it may be worthwhile reminding them of their selection on the day, as people will quite often forget their decision. Individual menus are a great way to do this, and can double up as place settings.
Planning the Menu
Remember to take into account your guests' dietary requirements. Whether due to allergies, religion, or moral decisions, there's no point in you paying for a meal that won't be eaten. Find out guests' requirements in advance, and if you're ever unsure, consult with your caterer and guests to ease your mind.
Visualise your guests eating the meals you have selected to identify potential pit-falls, such as serving beetroot soup to friends in wedding finery, or giving your guests garlic breath for the duration of the day. It's always advisable to try the full menu out for yourself before you make any final decisions.
Printing Your Menu
Your wedding menu should be clear and concise – avoid intricate font that might be hard to read, and unnecessary information, such as the weight of meat. You may wish to detail what drinks are available, and which foods contain allergens, particularly where guests help themselves to food, such as buffets and barbecues.
It might be helpful to let your guests know when speeches are being made, and the cake is being cut, so they can leave the room for short breaks without missing these important moments.
Menu Style
Menus for weddings should be as much a part of the day as anything else, so co-ordinate the design to fit your chosen colours or theme; perhaps create your menus along with matching wedding stationery.
Ideally, the wedding theme, food, and menu should all fit in well together. A traditional Scottish wedding, for example, might be amiss in serving Chinese food. Your venue should also be a consideration: a medieval banquet with menus printed on scrolls would work well in a castle but might be overkill in a countryside pub.

I have a 50s triplex near the beach with cathedral ceilings of tongue and groove, topped by 3/4 inch plywood and torch applied modified bitamen (asphalt) roof. That's it... No insulation, no attic. I'm told 2 options by roofers, apply Title 21 white reflective coating, or rip off the roof and start all over again adding insulation. The middle unit is especially hot as there is no cross breeze; there are skylights, double pane acrylic which don't help and don't open. Any suggestions.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
With cathedral ceilings, is there room for spray foam or rigid foam board under the tongue and groove, and then covered by sheetrock? A roofer gives you only solutions that a roofer provides; a white roof will be cooler but still hot on hot days and still no insulation. Try talking to an insulation or general contractor. |

Yesterday, there was quite a bit of buzz about Microsoft after a Goldman Sachs analyst downgraded Microsoft from "Buy" to "Neutral" and lowered their target share price by US $4. As reported in the article, the analyst highlighted Microsoft's continued weakness in the mobile and tablet space as factors in the downgrade.
Microsoft's future is a bit of a conundrum. One one hand, Microsoft is having success with newer versions of its established offerings such as Windows 7, SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010, Windows Server 2008 R2 and others.
But what about new growth opportunities in the mobile space and in Cloud computing?
I will join my colleague, John Pescatore, in interviewing Steve Ballmer live on the main stage on Thursday morning, October 21st at Gartner's upcoming US Symposium conference in Orlando.
So, what would you ask Steve Ballmer?
Do you believe Microsoft has lost its relevance in a world of mobile devices connected by Cloud-based services?

WTB generic glyphs
One thing that's always been true of glyphs, no matter what their incarnation, is the fact that they're class-specific. I think it would be interesting to see that change, if not for major glyphs, then at least for minor ones. There are certain aspects of the game I would love to have the option to modify, just a little, for quality-of-life reasons. There are also abilities that were once available that no longer are, which could be reintroduced via classless glyphs, useable by all. Here are some generic glyphs I would love to see.

I was given a 7910 royle floor extractor, but have no instructions, I think i have it mostly figured out, But would like to know about the switch you apply when cleaning. When applying the soap or water do you pull the switch under the handle? And when you need to extract the soap or water you just turn the soap off and vacuum and not depress the switch? |

I just got one recently and used on a small area. Push trigger going forward and release the trigger going back, is the way I understand it. |

Hi ,
This is a wonderful site and really appreciate all the photos and explanations.So to my questions.
I have just come to the end of my 3rd week with a starter using organic oatmeal flour and only oatmeal flour- refreshing every 24hrs, 100g equal grams of purified water and oatmealflour with a tablespoon of the left over starter added- sitting on the kitchen bench temps around 15-21 c
I have had after 2weeks a yoghurty smell, and some occassional fruity smells with small bubbles sometimes all the way through, then back to the yoghurty smell and not very many bubbles and now (beginning 4th week)more bubbles and fruity smells.
However it has never ever doubled in size.
Am I heading the right way? Can it take longer than 3 weeks or so?This is my second try at a starter- last year I used rye and oatmeal (in seperate containers trying to get a starter going)
The rye took off after a week and I made pancakes ( came out OK) but it died after I forgot it on the bench as other things came up (renovating- plus visitors) the oatmeal also went the way of the dodo after long neglect.I did not really recognize how it all worked until now!
I am eager to get this to work as I have severe dietry allergies that prevent me from buying pre made food (nuts seeds and others ect) and its been 2yrs since I had any bread at all.
I have purchased Oatmeal Sourdough Bread from a company in Vic wonderful stuff light airy however it contains milk products (yoghurt)so I am attempting to make my own So I know it can be done.
Hoping someone can help

I met up with a bunch of photographers this fall for a big 'ole shoot out. Tons of photographers and models all running around some apple orchards here in New Hampshire exploring and photographing everything in sight. Loved it! Here are a few images from the day with the lovely Madeleine.

lavender fields forever :: a summer editorial
Nature! The changing seasons, mountain landscapes, fields of flowers... I love how each one causes me to slow down, breathe deeply, and see the world with fresh eyes. I just want to capture that feeling with my camera in some sort of crazy tangible way.
This is one of those shoots. The simplicity of a lavender field, capturing all that is summer.

krimson :: new england model test shoot
New England summers are absolutely amazing. Sunshine for days and days and days. The rivers and lakes are filled with adventurers. Everyone is out on a canoe or off on a hike to take advantage of the warm weather while it's here. I don't think I've ever appreciated summer so much!
Part of all that wonderful sunshine means more photo shoots! Krimson and I met up for some camera time and to play in the sunshine.

Summer is for adventure. And we have started one! We packed our life into a little RV, and we are spending the summer in the woods.
Ronald and I wanted a summer of fun, where we could dirt bike and explore this gorgeous New England. A camper was the answer for us, and we are so excited for the travels to come.
Welcome to the crazy land of full-time RVers! Ha! We will still be based in southern New Hampshire, and keep most of the traveling to the weekends. No radical changes as far as the business is concerned, and I hope to have many new photo shoots coming to the blog soon!
If you want to join in the fun, follow the travels on instagram! And if you've ever full-timed in a trailer, I would love to hear your stories!!! Say hello and we'll be camper friends. :)
hidden whispers :: a springtime editorial
I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen, but, after months and months of cold, spring showed up in New England! Ahhhh! I didn't think it could be worth the wait, but I was wrong. Mother nature quite outdid herself! Green started sprouting up in little bits, and then it was just a flourish of flowers in rich colors and greens deeper than you've ever seen. Completely beautiful in every way.
Leah and I shot this editorial to celebrate all things springs. Enjoy the flowers and the sunshine, my friends. :)

3 Wedding Planning Tips; A Therapist's Perspective
At least once a week, make sure you spend a chunk of quality time together where you do not talk about anything related to your wedding. Do the things you love to do, and make an effort to talk about non-wedding topics. This is good practice for remembering all of the other things that are going on in your lives that have nothing to do with your wedding. By staying engaged (pun intended) in topics of interest other than your wedding, you are less likely to end up boring your friends by becoming consumed by the party planning process. More importantly, weekly planning breaks will keep you in touch with the reasons you are marrying one another in the first place!
