If this doesn't convince you that the big-box chains have an international death-grip on ma and pa (i.e., independent) bookstores, nothing will...
Borders is opening a new store in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). A store is planned for Oman the following year. Wonder what books women will be able to purchase. Story from tradearabia.
birdie writes "From the New York Times , news that Coliseum Books, a Manhattan bastion of independent bookselling since the early 1970s, is apparently closing for good. "I believe we will simply disappear," George S. Leibson, a founder and co-owner, said yesterday in the store's second-floor office on 42nd Street opposite Bryant Park, as he composed a poster to inform customers that Coliseum had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. "The book business has changed a great deal," Mr. Leibson said. The checkout line at Coliseum is often too small to make the store profitable. Many independent booksellers are in the same predicament."
Audrey's Books in Edmonton, established during the Alberta oil boom, was the first bookstore on the prairies...and is now proud to have reached the milestone of fifty years of bookselling. News of the celebration from VueWeekly.
Owner(s) Steve (and Sharon) Budnarchuk, who bought Audreys in 1988 commented, "We still work too many hours, can't always do as much as we want to, don't have as much staff as you like, but it's a good business to be in," he says with an easy smile. "Every day is like Christmas: you get to open boxes just full of books, and you get the joy of putting good books in the hands of good readers."
Read all about it, it being Garrison Keillor's new bookstore in St. Paul, MN, "Corner Books" opening on November 1. Although he intends to play an active role in the store, Keillor isn't planning on leaving the shores of Lake Wobegon. "His first dedication is to A Prairie Home Companion," said Chris Livingston, who is coordinating the opening of the store.
Keiller found his new manager, Sue Zumberge, through an ad in craigslist. Zumberge says of the store, "It's going to be great," she said. "From my conversation with Mr. Keillor, it sounds like it's going to have a real Midwest flavor. There will be a wide selection of fiction, with a concentration of Midwest writers. It will really have the flavor of a neighborhood bookstore."
In The Toronto Star James Grainer says The city's new breed of second-hand- book peddler is a former punk rocker.Whereas the used-book scene of the 1970s and '80s was dominated by, as Hanna puts it, "old hippies selling their cool stuff" in clusters of stores along Queen W. and Harbord, the new-model second-hand stores are run by old punk rockers selling their cool stuff in the newly hip neighbourhoods further west. (Babel co-owner Randy Harnett can attest to this trend: he's opened two locations of She Said Boom! Records & Book over the past decade, and three of his ex-employees, including Hanna, have opened combo book-record stores of their own.)
Not only independent, Boxcar Books in Bloomington Indiana is also non-profit. And it's surviving through the determined effort of volunteers, the local community and the faculty, staff and students at Indiana University. In addition to selling books to students and featuring literature of smaller publishers, their goals are also to send literature free of charge to prisoners in the midwest and to provide a meeting space for community and literary groups. Here's a profile of the store from Indiana Daily Student.
Anonymous Patron writes "New York Times: The Gotham Book Mart, one of New York's best known literary landmarks, was saved from closing only two years ago by two white knights who swooped down at the last minute and arranged the purchase of a $5 million building that would house its collection of rare books.
Now, the 86-year-old bookstore is in trouble again."
"It's true", said Garrison Keillor, regarding his intention to open a bookstore (for Norwegian bachelor farmers et al?) in St. Paul, MN. Keillor first signaled his entrepreneurial intentions on his Prairie Home Companion's Web site in discussing what he did over his summer break (scroll down on the left). Among other things, the radio host said he turned 64, had surgery to prevent further strokes, got started on a novel and "decided to open a bookstore." Story from the Chicago Trib.
After being totally destroyed during Katrina, Pass Christian Books (MS) is reopening thanks to the generousity of a local woman, Martha Murphy, who is leasing affordable space to local businesses on the following conditions: "project tenants will pay minimum rent on a temporary basis, but must show they are trying to move back to the downtown area when space becomes available." Murphy wanted to "do something for the community".
Story from Bookselling This Week including pre- and post-Katrina pictures of the store.
Bay Books, one of the three independent bookstores in Pleasanton, has written its last chapter. Richard Van Tassell, owner of Bay Books, is closing its Pleasanton store, located on the corner of Stoneridge and Gibraltar drives, because of meager sales. He said Friday was the last day, but it is possible the store will remain open Monday.
Books are on sale for 60 percent off. Van Tassell's other two stores in Concord and San Ramon, which are faring better, will remain open.
"Many bookstores are suffering now and have been for awhile because of online competition, he said. They are making life difficult for independent bookstores.

text: 'Bioshock Infinite' postponed until 2013By Larry Frum, Special to CNNUpdated 12:57 PM ET, Wed May 9, 2012'BioShock: Infinite' has been one of the most highly anticipated games for 2012.Story highlights"BioShock Infinite" will now be released on February 23, 2013, instead of this coming October Creative director: Delay necessary "to give our talented team the time they need"Fans have been waiting for the next creation in the "BioShock" universe since 2010What was arguably the most anticipated video game of 2012 just became one of the most anticipated games for 2013.Irrational Games and Take Two announced Wednesday that "BioShock Infinite" will be delayed four months to allow developers more time to make tweaks to the game. The third installment in a popular horror series, set in a dystopian undersea universe, will now be released on February 23, 2013, instead of this coming October as previously scheduled.Creative director Ken Levine made the announcement on Irrational's website:"When we announced the release date of BioShock Infinite in March, we felt pretty good about the timing," he wrote."Since then, we've come to realize that some specific tweaks and improvements will make Infinite into something even more extraordinary. Therefore, to give our talented team the time they need, we've decided to move the game's release to February 26, 2013. We wanted to let our loyal (and very patient!) fans know this as soon as possible."I won't kid you: BioShock Infinite is a very big game, and we're doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter," he added. "What does this mean for you? It means a bit more waiting, but more importantly, it means an even better BioShock Infinite."Levine said developers will hold off on showing "BioShock Infinite" this summer at such gaming events as E3 and Gamescom."That way, the next time you see our game, it will be essentially the product we intend to put in the box," he said. "Preparing for these events takes time away from development, time we're going to use instead to get the best version of Infinite into your hands in February."Fans have been waiting for the next creation in the "BioShock" universe since "BioShock 2" was released in 2010. The new title will take players beyond the underwater realm of the first two games and put them in Columbia, a futuristic city in the sky, during a time of anarchy and strife.In an interview with CNN last December, Levine described how excited he was to work on this new setting."In all these stories, you have these incredible themes. One of great optimism and excitement for the future and one of this ominous feeling at the same time," he said. "This yin and this yang that was present in all of this research really made me excited to work on this game."Response from fans on Internet message boards Wednesday was generally positive, with many saying they are willing to wait longer for the game if it lives up to expectations.More from techNo!

She is so... Why did she move all the way to Florida!? (My mom that is.) I can't see her and my sister down there. She didn't have to move that far away. I miss them.
I'm writing a story now, I don't know if I'm going to let anyone read it, but I really like this, so I think I'll finish it, and if I do I might upload it somewhere.
Why did she have to move so far away..? Why? ._. I want my mom and sister back. I spent an hour on the phone with my sister today, I got a card from her in the mail. She's not going to be here for my birthday...
And I'm also scared, because, even though the chances are slim, this divorce could force me from my house. And moving wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't for the fact that Sora is here. I need her. She's the only reason I haven't gone completley beserk during the last few months. It's so scary. Why can't the fighting stop? Why can't my mom live nearby?
I'm sorry, I'm normally so happy, but I guess it just that... I really miss my sister. We're so close. I miss her.
I'm really sorry, that sounds horrible. But try and take solace in the fact that all things will pass. One day, things will be better and you'll be wiser from the bad times. Have hope!
"Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible." T.E. Lawrence
O I am sorry for you! Hope you'll soon be close to the people you love.
We have all been injured, profoundly. (Donna Haraway)

Seebright showed off a prototype of its unnamed headset at GDC last week. The company says it "uses innovative optics to extend popular smartphones" and "delivers crisp stereoscopic images and 3-D graphics without blocking the user's peripheral view, hiding facial expressions, or limiting mobility."
148Apps played with the prototype in person and has some more details: apparently it pulls two images simultaneously from iOS devices and projects them at a special mirror that then reflects the images back to users' eyes, creating 3D effects. The mirror is interchangeable; a translucent option creates an augmented reality experience, while an opaque mirror is meant for virtual reality gaming. The headset will apparently also ship with a unique wireless controller, though Seebright hasn't spilled the details on that.
"We imagined a head-mounted display that leaves your eyes open to the world around you," Seebright co-founder and CEO John Murray said in a press release. "With a mix of unique engineering in optics, electronics, software and ergonomics the Seebright Platform enables enhanced reality in both AR and VR, affordable for everyone, accessible anywhere they go."
Seebright is planning a Kickstarter for April, so keep an eye out if iOS-powered virtual reality sounds like your thing.

Pretty simple question. About 8 days ago I turned in my cable boxes, remotes, and old modem. My balance has not changed, although I was told it would eventually. How long does this take?
I shut off Cable TV and the phone line. I also upgraded to the highest speed internet with "blast". The new modem/router is tall, but the speed is really great.
I don't think you will see it until the next billing cycle. If you look at when your bill is normally due, it will proably show up the day after the due date of your bill.
But- you would probably get an answer by calling 1-800 comcast Billing Department and ask the for the current status. They should be able to bring up your Account ledger on their end. The ledger is different from what we, the customers see online.
Hope this helps,

"Violence against anybody is wrong," he continues. "I did a dumb thing in Vegas, it lasted three seconds, and the price I paid for it personally, professionally, and financially was enormous."
On Monday morning, May 7, Albrecht went to work. He stayed only a few hours—it was impossible to get anything done. The statement about his alcoholism was released on Tuesday, over the strong objections of his daughters, he says, because it wasn't true. "I said those things in an effort to help keep my job. I was so ashamed that I just did what anybody told me to do."
But by his own admission, Albrecht was drinking. He had started again in 2002, the same year he got divorced. And he confirms he'd been drinking that night. When I ask him what led him, after thirteen years of sobriety, to raise his first glass, he says he realized alcohol wasn't, in fact, a problem for him. AA teaches that once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic, even if you're clean. Albrecht disagrees. "I'm very comfortable with the decisions I've made regarding alcohol," he says.
Sources confirm that Bewkes had hoped to save Albrecht's job. Then, on May 9, the Los Angeles Times reported that in 1991, Bewkes had approved a settlement of at least $400,000 to Sasha Emerson, an executive who worked for Albrecht back when he was head of programming at HBO. The Times quoted four unnamed sources saying Emerson had alleged that Albrecht shoved and choked her. Soon, blogger Nikki Finke wrote that she'd heard about other incidents involving Albrecht and women at HBO, "all quietly 'handled' by the cable pay channel." That was it: Albrecht was fired.
Albrecht says he is to blame, but he still feels misunderstood. He says the Times made what happened with Emerson, with whom he acknowledges having an affair (they were both married at the time), sound more physically brutal than it was. "No one got hurt," he insists. As for the rumors of other settlements being paid at HBO or anyplace else, he flatly denies them. But numerous sources say that although Albrecht often championed women in the workplace, his interactions with them could also be belittling—even destructive.
Breaking her silence about Albrecht for the first time since 1991, Emerson—who has remarried and has three teenage girls—says, "Chris Albrecht's lies about me and those events have endured for twenty years. For him to comment on whether or how I was hurt is colossal hubris. I'd expect nothing less from someone as delusional as he is. He needs to believe his own narrative."
Now that Albrecht is a CEO at a publicly traded company, I ask, doesn't he understand that Bewkes—who was in line to replace Time Warner chairman and CEO Dick Parsons—had no choice but to fire him? Albrecht says he can argue it both ways. "Jeff could have stood up and said, 'Hey, I was in charge then and I'm in charge now and that's not what happened. Let's wait and see what happens with the Vegas situation.' You could certainly find that under the definition of leadership." (Bewkes declined to comment, other than to have an associate relay a message that he holds Albrecht in "the highest regard.")
Albrecht pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery, paid a $1,000 fine, and went to domestic-violence counseling. Today, he says he still sees a therapist. A student of Carl Jung who says he has seriously considered becoming a Jungian analyst—"and I still do"—Albrecht says he has examined his complicated love life ("I was searching in my relationships for the thing I should have been supplying myself") as well as his suspicion of success, which led him to question whether he'd earned it, whether he was an imposter.
"I'm certainly sorry for my behavior in Las Vegas," he tells me. "But I wouldn't trade where I am now for being that guy at that time."
Wait, come again? If he could wave a magic wand, Merlin-like, he wouldn't trade his current salary, which he admits is a mere fraction of what he made at HBO? He wouldn't rather be running the number one premium-cable company instead of number three (and constantly having to respond to rumors that John Malone, the chairman of parent company Liberty Media, is itching to sell Starz)? That's right, he says. In 2007, "I was still living in a lot of fear, and I think I'm living in a lot less fear now."
Oh, and he's met someone new. Her name is Montana Schillo-Coady. She's 25 years old. (His daughter Kate is 27.) In May, he gave her a 7.5-carat engagement ring. "I feel," he says, beaming, "totally and completely in love."
I flash back to dinner the night before at the Pig's Ear, when Albrecht suddenly broke into song. "Forever young. I wanna be forever young," he crooned softly, a blissed-out look on his face. When I looked perplexed, he said he was singing the Jay-Z mash-up of the 1984 hit. "That's going to be the song at my wedding," he said.
Our final morning in Dublin, Albrecht and I meet for breakfast. So far he's mostly talked about his company in the wonky biz-speak that befits a CEO. But he's a storyteller at heart. What kinds of shows does he want Starz to make?
Contrary to some of the more in-your-face series he set in motion at HBO—G-String Divas and Pornucopia: Going Down in the Valley—Albrecht is veering away from the truly naughty. That terrain, he says, is already overpopulated. Starz's sweet spot, he suspects, is more popcorn than soft porn—more broadly entertaining.

I have been looking at recipes for peanut butter cups because one of my littles loves, I mean LOVES, peanut butter cups. He has asked me to make them over & over. I'm not big on making sugary sweets but I was having trouble resisting his toothless first grader smile. It was time. Every time I looked all of the recipes called for chocolate chips and sugar. I decided I needed to create my own recipe using unsweetened chocolate and a healthier nut butter, almond butter.
I gotta say these are really, really good. Even after you freeze them the nut butter center stays deliciously soft and yummy. So yummy that a little toothless smile flashed at me between every single bite. I couldn't help but wonder how on earth I resisted for so long. :)
Yeilds: 12 Nut Butter Cups
Chocolate Base:
- 4 squares unsweetened bakers chocolate
- 1/4 cup soy margarine
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp Agave
Nut Butter Filling:
- 1/2 cup Almond butter (I used a drippy almond butter)
- 2 T agave
- 1 Tbsp Soy butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup Raw crushed nuts (I used Cashews)
Line a muffin pan with paper liners. In a small bowl combine and mix thoroughly nut butter filling ingredients. Set aside.
In a second small bowl, microwave chocolate and soy butter 1-3 minutes depending on strength of microwave. Watch closely so as not to burn chocolate. Remove and stir. Stir in agave and vanilla. It will be a little watery, don't worry! Using a tablespoon fill each liner with chocolate base.
Fill a plastic sandwich bag or pastry bag with peanut butter filling, cut corner and pipe a dallop of filling into the center of each cup. Feel free to use a spoon to add a drop of filling to the center if you don't care about the swirl! Top with crushed nuts. Freeze at least 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in freezer.

Hey Friends! Finally, after a couple years of "meaning to get to it" we've got our Blog up and running! Check in here for updates on the Salmon run, Eagle number, new Fergie's recipes and other news from the Outdoor Adventure Capital of North America!
Fall Colours & Change of Seasons at Sunwolf!
Fall and winter at Sunwolf is a great time of the year. After the hustle and bustle of the summer (which we love!), it's always nice to see things slowing down, rivers rising with the rains, leaves changing colour and the Salmon spawning. It's this time of the year we see a lot of the local fishermen coming around, telling us stories of their "catch of the day" or lack thereof sometimes! But usually there's something to talk about if not the weather.
Fergie's Cafe slows down it's hours to Thursday to Sundays, and switches gears on the menu from summer flavours to the classic fall/winter comfort foods! Beef stews, waffles, meat pies, home-baked goods & delicious sausages! Although some things change, the classics never leave such as our famous Pulled Pork Benny and the Spicy Southern Salami Hash. We're pumped to have Pixie, John, Brad, Dustin and Stephanie in there crankin out the goodness!
Alright…Food aside (sorry, we get a little wrapped up in that around here), we've got a lot going on this fall here at Sunwolf. I mentioned the Salmon. Well, right now there's Chum & Coho Salmon running along with Dolly Varden and Trout! Sunwolf has an old following with the fishing crowd from the days when it was Fergie's Fishing Lodge. There's still fishermen(and women!) coming to the banks of the Cheakamus who came here as a young anglers with their parents. Hence the name Fergie's Cafe.
Also something to note that's great for the whole family is our Bald Eagle Viewing Floats! Why walk the banks of the Squamish with the crowds when you can float the Cheakamus in peace and quiet?? So not total peace & quiet, as you'll see and hear Eagles fighting over salmon, dive bombing the river for their food, soaring overhead, or just perched int he trees above! Not that long ago, Brackendale had just over 3600 Bald Eagles nesting here. After an unfortunate rail accident, the number was decreased to less than 1000 because their food-source, the Salmon, had been depleted. Now the Eagle are returning and they're coming back stronger than ever! So if you find yourself sitting around looking for something to do this fall join us on an Eagle Float beginning Nov 16!
That's whats happening around here these days and hope to see you around!

LinkedIn For Filmmakers
It would seem strange to utilize Facebook in an attempt to get a lunch meetings with prospective Hollywood Heavyweights whom you never met.But in the world of LinkedIn, as long as you're not a jerk, it is appropriate to seek out and connect with prospects.
Pick Your Filmmaking Team
The great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar always says, "You can't fly with the eagles if you continue to scratch with the turkeys." And I believe this is true…
Building Your Filmmaking Team
For those of you planning to crank out some movies, I recommend you start small. Find a few collaborators and assign jobs based on interest. Then grab a camera and complete some micro projects such as music videos, short films and funny sketches for YouTube.
Filmmaking Tip: How to make it in Hollywood.
If you find yourself faced with filmmaking self doubt, you're not alone. The important part is that you at least get a picture of what you want that is very specific. Then you should take time to work backwards. And who knows, maybe a decade from now we will be working on movie projects together.

[A]lone in the dim emptiness of the sleeping forecastle he appeared bigger, colossal, very old; old as Father Time himself . . . Yet he was only a child of time, a lonely relic of a devoured and forgotten generation. He stood, still strong, as ever unthinking; a ready man with a vast empty past and with no future, with his childlike impulses and his man's passions already dead within his tattooed breast. The men who could understand his silence were gone—those men who knew how to exist beyond the pale of life and within sight of eternity. They had been strong, as those are strong who know neither doubts nor hopes. They had been impatient and enduring, turbulent and devoted, unruly and faithful. Well-meaning people had tried to represent those men as whining over every mouthful of their food; as going about their work in fear of their lives. But in truth they had been men who knew toil, privation, violence, debauchery—but knew not fear, and had no desire of spite in their hearts. Men hard to manage, but easy to inspire; voiceless men—but men enough to scorn in their hearts the sentimental voices that bewailed the hardness of their fate. It was a fate unique and their own; the capacity to bear it appeared to them the privilege of the chosen! Their generation lived inarticulate and, indispensable, without knowing the sweetness of affections or the refuge of a home—and died free from the dark menace of a narrow grave. They were the everlasting children of the mysterious sea. Their successors are the grown-up children of a discontented earth. They are less naughty, but less innocent; less profane, but perhaps also less believing; and if they have learned how to speak they have also learned how to whine. But the others were strong and mute; they were effaced, bowed and enduring, like stone caryatides that hold up in the night the lighted halls of a resplendent and glorious edifice. They are gone now—and it does not matter. The sea and the earth are unfaithful to their children: a truth, a faith, a generation of men goes—and is forgotten, and it does not matter! Except, perhaps, to the few of those who believed the truth, confessed the faith—or loved the men.The love of such men is, according to Conrad, the sort of "less obvious" love to which the artist appeals. In the preface, he writes:
[The artist's] appeal is made to our less obvious capacities: to that part of our nature which, because of the warlike conditions of existence, is necessarily kept out of sight within the more resisting and hard qualities—like the vulnerable body within a steel armour. His appeal is less loud, more profound, less distinct, more stirring—and sooner forgotten. Yet its effect endures forever. The changing wisdom of successive generations discards ideas, questions facts, demolishes theories. But the artist appeals to that part of our being which is not dependent on wisdom; to that in us which is a gift and not an acquisition—and, therefore, more permanently enduring. He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation—and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity that knits together the loneliness of innumerable hearts, to the solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear, which binds men to each other, which binds together all humanity—the dead to the living and the living to the unborn.If those "lighted halls of a resplendent and glorious edifice" are the halls of civilization itself, it is Conrad's duty to remember what "did not matter" in its being built as it is also his duty to plumb the mystery of the countenance of the "heart of darkness" as it appears both to the man looking into it and on the face of the man looking out of it. These "effaced" men--as strangely "colossal" as the jungle itself--can be as obscure to us as the "black fellows" who in Heart of Darkness "had faces like grotesque masks—these chaps; but they had bone, muscle, a wild vitality, an intense energy of movement, that was as natural and true as the surf along their coast." And Singleton and his brothers, "men enough to face the darkness," are received back into oblivion ("And this also," said Marlow suddenly, "has been one of the dark places of the earth.") like the beaten "criminal" black Marlow encounters months before he leaves for Kurtz's Inner Station: "I saw him, later on, for several days, sitting in a bit of shade looking very sick and trying to recover himself: afterwards he arose and went out—and the wilderness without a sound took him into its bosom again."

Venue Info
Arts Theatre
The Arts Theatre is situated on Great Newport Street in the West End of London, close to Leicester Square tube station. Built in 1913, this intimate 350 seat venue is known for its history of alternative and sometimes controversial productions.
The theatre was initially intended as a club for people interested in all things theatrical, both public and professional, with a small, functional auditorium sufficient to allow them to indulge their fancies. The first production was Picnic, a revue by Herbert Farjeon, which opened on April 20 1927.
Among the countless noteworthy shows to have graced this venerable West End theatre's stage during its long history since then are the premiere of the English-language production of Waiting for Godot, Saturday Night, The Vagina Monologues, Close to Heaven, A Christmas Carol and The Complete World of Sports.
During the 1940s the venue was dubbed a 'mini National Theatre' due to its penchant for discovering innovative drama. Today, the Arts Theatre enjoys consistent success, and has a solid reputation for staging new plays that push artistic boundaries, and for supporting undiscovered playwrights.
But, like any long-serving institution, its fortunes have varied over the years. Despite the theatre's success it faced a serious threat of demolition in 2006. Nevertheless, the Arts Theatre continues to function today as the West End's smallest commercial theatre, to the delight of its many patrons.
The layout, size and atmosphere of the Arts Theatre make it the perfect place to see exciting new drama and the occasional theatre classic. It is wonderfully intimate. Recent successes include Naked Boys Singing, Park Avenue and A Guide to Sexual Misery.
Whatever you decide to see at the Arts Theatre, we wish you an entertaining and rewarding visit.

British Vacationers Gain an Average of Eight Pounds While Visiting U.S.
British tourists on holiday in the U.S. bring back more than just replicas of the Statue of Liberty or photos in front of the Hollywood sign. They also take home an average of eight additional pounds of body weight, research out of England shows.
The Daily Mail reports on a study that examined average weight gain among vacationing Britons, comparing the damage done by two-week trips to a variety of holiday destinations. A fortnight's vacation in the U.S. had the most significant effect on the figure, followed by the Caribbean (home of the all-inclusive resort) at 7.4 pounds. France, Italy, and Greece rounded out the top spots on the "holiday fat map," packing on 7.3, 7, and 6.9 pounds respectively. The researchers, who interviewed 2,000 British vacationers about their holiday weight gain, found that six in ten regularly put on pounds while traveling for pleasure and that the average over-all increase was about five pounds.
More from Delish: 11 Travel-Ready Recipes for the Road
Of course, Britons aren't the only ones struggling to stick to healthy eating habits while on vacay. Travelers from the US regularly gain around five pounds during a week-long vacation by taking in an extra 4,000 calories each day. And cruise passengers, tend to take home eight additional pounds (or around two pounds a day) from their various ports of call.
More from Delish: Best Airport Food Across the U.S.
So how can you make your summer vacation destination diet friendly? A few tips...
- Pack healthful snacks: Though you'll want to sample the local flavor, having a few healthy snacks on hand like low calorie power bars, turkey jerky, baby carrots, or fruit, will keep you energized and help prevent overindulging.
- Stay active: Be sure to incorporate lots of physical activity into your daily itinerary, whether it's a trip to the hotel gym, water sports, or a walking tour of the city you're visiting.
- Keep splurging to a minimum: "If you plan for one splurge a day, you're also more likely to choose wisely and think about the foods you really want rather than just stuffing yourself with anything in site," Jen Andrus, a New York-based nutritionist tells Fodors.
- Don't over-do it at the bar: Beachy drinks like pina coladas and margaritas are packed with calories. If you must have an umbrella drink, keep it to one and then switch to lower calorie drinks like bubbly, white wine, and light beer, Connie Diekman of the American Dietetic Association, tells WebMD.

Book Reviews
Park Min-gyu's "Pavane for a Dead Princess"
Fuminori Nakamura's "Last Winter, We Parted"
Diego De Silva's "My Mother-in-Law Drinks"
The latest novel in translation by Italian author, playwright, and screenwriter Diego De Silva at first glance belongs to the swelling genre of paternalistic parables for the digital age.
Norman Manea's "Captives"
Navigating the narrative threads of "Captives" is a bit like trying to make it through a hedge-maze while blindfolded, drunk, and asleep.
Pedro Zarraluki's "The History of Silence"
Pedro Zarraluki's "The History of Silence" is concerned with negative space: with absences, with things that can be defined only by what they are not.
Tove Jansson's "The Woman Who Borrowed Memories"
A collection of very short stories which bubble up from the subconscious only to vanish as soon as they get to the surface.
Eduardo Halfon's "Monastery"
In Halfon's "Monastery," our narrator asserts the accidental nature of nationality.
Sérgio Rodrigues's "Elza: The Girl" and Paulo Scott's "Nowhere People"
Where are all the young Brazilian writers?
Joseph Roth's "The Hundred Days"
An achingly beautiful fictional account of the rise and fall of the Emperor Napoleon
Otfried Preussler's "Krabat and the Sorcerer's Mill"
Preussler's storytelling mastery and gift for atmosphere render this Bildungsroman-meets-Gothic horror both timeless and splendidly, creepily original.
Antal Szerb's "Journey by Moonlight"
This phantasmal, complex novel of ideas takes place in a "wild, precipitous landscape"
Venedikt Erofeev's "Walpurgis Night"
Current events can make us wonder: In times of tremendous violence, do literary questions and conflicts matter at all?
David Albahari's "Globetrotter"
This sense of absence pervades the characters' ideas of national identity — all of them are personally defined by things they lacked in their pasts, either symbolically, literally, or both.
Ernst Meister's "Wallless Space"
What happens when a "piteously naked" philosopher-turned-poet decides to pursue philosophy in the form of verse?

Tony Curtis Estate
Tony Curtis Will and Trust Estate
When actor Tony Curtis died in September, 2011, his will intentionally disinherited all five of his children and left everything to his fifth wife, Jill Vandenberg Curtis, and to his charity.
Last month, the Tony Curtis Estate conducted an auction of hundreds of memorabilia items, netting the estate an additional $1 million. According to his daughter, Allegra Curtis, none of the children were advised of the auction and the widow gave them nothing to remember their father by.
According to an interview Allegra gave to Inside Edition, Curtis' children were "blindsided" by the disinheritance and Allegra says she doesn't believe the new will he drafted just four months prior to his September 2010 death was reflective of his last wishes. She told the program that being disinherited by her father was "devastating".
Another daughter, Kelly Lee Curtis, has sued over her father's trust, and has accused his widow of exerting undue influence over him when he changed his will to disinherit his five children. That suit is currently pending in a Las Vegas court.
As noted in a Forbes post about the case, when a will and/or trust excludes children entirely in favor of a spouse, it is almost a guarantee that a lawsuit will be filed to contest that will; especially when it is changed shortly prior to death.
Blended families are especially vulnerable when it comes to estate battles, which is why it is advisable to consult with an estate planner when making final inheritance plans.

The Marionette Maestro: Nick Coppola
Text from their Press Release: Born in 1935, Nicolas Coppola grew up in Brooklyn. In third grade, he saw a Suzari Marionettes puppet show and was inspired to create his first cloth marionette. A decade later, at age nineteen, Coppola joined Suzari and got to perform in Aladdin, which had been one of the company's original productions in the 1940s. Coppola was later promoted to Artistic Director of spinoff Nicolo Marionettes, where he staged a touring version of Aladdin in 1964. Coppola founded Puppetworks in 1980 and staged his own versions of Aladdin many times. While a number of the original marionettes that make up the "cast" have since been retired, some have stayed on for revival upon revival. Now retired, Coppola won the Puppeteers of America President'a Award for "Outstanding Contributions to the Art of Puppetry in 2011. He still visits Puppetworks to refurbish the puppets before any performance is mounted. Emon Hassan, Narratively's Director of Video & Multimedia, is a New York-based filmmaker and photographer. He is also a contributor to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic.

Virginia Tech 12
Miami (FL) 30
Coverage: ESPN
7:30 PM ET, November 1, 2012
Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL
Top Performers
Passing: S. Morris (MIA) - 170 YDS, 2 TD
Rushing: L. Thomas (NOR) - 22 CAR, 124 YDS, 1 TD
Receiving: R. Malleck (VT) - 4 REC, 58 YDS
MIAMI -- Since the day he took over at Miami, Al Golden has said the path for the Hurricanes to get back into the national picture starts with winning the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division.
The Hurricanes now control the path to that title.
Stephen Morris threw for two early touchdowns, both set up by Virginia Tech special-teams miscues, and Miami took a major step forward in the chase for a berth in the conference title game by beating the Hokies 30-12 on Thursday night.
Big East blog
ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson writes about all things Big East in the conference blog.
The Hurricanes were outgained 421-347, went 1 for 12 on third down, and managed exactly 3 yards on 12 plays in the third quarter. And in the end, somehow, none of that mattered.
"It's critical," said Golden, the Hurricanes' second-year coach. "Again, I know everybody wants us to be national champions yesterday and get back to BCS games and all that, but the reality of it is the pathway through that is the Coastal. It's almost like we have to re-educate our team. They have to understand, that's how you get there."
The message seems to have been received.
Duke Johnson had a 7-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and finished with 217 all-purpose yards for the Hurricanes (5-4, 4-2), who snapped a three-game slide. The division is hardly a done deal, however -- Miami has conference games left with Virginia and Duke, both on the road.
Logan Thomas had a 73-yard scoring run on a quarterback draw for Virginia Tech (4-5, 2-3), which lost to Miami for just the third time in the last 10 meetings. The loss also ensures the Hokies' streak of eight straight 10-win seasons will end this year.
"I don't fault our effort," Hokies coach Frank Beamer said. "I fault our execution. We didn't do the things to win the football game."
The win puts Miami a half-game ahead of Duke and North Carolina in the Coastal race, though the Tar Heels are ineligible for postseason play, including the ACC title game.
"This game really helps us," Johnson said.
The Hokies and Hurricanes are two of the best teams on Thursday night -- a combined 34-8 record entering the game, Virginia Tech with a 19-5 mark, Miami 15-3.
And the Hokies were 25-2 in ACC games played in November.
Now, they're 25-3, all three losses coming to Miami, and the Hokies had plenty of chances in this one. Most were wasted, like getting only two field goals in four trips to the red zone, and the Hokies wound up falling for the fourth time in their last five games.
"We haven't got it fixed yet," said Beamer, whose team is 0-5 away from home this season. "But I'm not going to give up trying, I'll tell you that."
Virginia Tech ran 82 plays to the Hurricanes' 58, held the ball for more than 34 minutes, picked up 24 first downs to Miami's 15, and still lost. A blocked punt led to one Miami touchdown, a big return by Johnson set up another, and that was pretty much all Miami needed.
"It's a weird feeling," Hokies linebacker Jack Tyler said. "Things are not going our way."
Thomas was 19 for 37 for 199 yards and two interceptions, and rushed 22 times for 124 yards. Morris completed 13 of 28 passes for 170 yards.
For years, special teams were an absolute strength of Beamer's teams at Virginia Tech -- so much so, they earned the moniker "Beamer Ball." But on Thursday, not only did the Hokies allow the blocked punt (a play where Virginia Tech's A.J. Hughes mishandled the snap before trying to get the kick away) and an 81-yard return by Johnson, but kicker Cody Journell also missed a field goal and a point-after attempt.
And eventually, Miami broke through.
The Hurricanes failed to convert any of their first nine third-down attempts, but when Morris connected with Rashawn Scott for 26 yards in the fourth quarter, Miami was in business. Five plays later, Johnson plowed just across the goal line, putting Miami -- clad in an all-orange ensemble, a pregame surprise to the team by Golden -- up by 15.
"I just wanted them to have fun. I think they were excited about it," Golden said of the uniform switch. "Guess that means we have to keep wearing them."
The first quarter set the tone for everything. Virginia Tech ran 26 plays to Miami's seven, outgained the Hurricanes 129-36 and had its offense was on the field for all but 2:29 of the period -- and trailed 14-3.
Miami's two touchdown drives were a combined 35 yards, lasting four plays. Gabe Terry's blocked punt started a drive that ended with Morris finding Allen Hurns with a 16-yard scoring pass, and the long return by Johnson led to Morris hitting Mike James for another touchdown, also from 16 yards out.
"We're excited, just to come out and get in the drivers' seat of the Coastal," Johnson said. "But we still have Coastal games to win."

What to Expect From Citigroup Earnings
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C - Get Report) is due to report earnings for the fourth quarter on Thursday.
Analysts expect Citigroup to earn a profit of $3 billion or 96 cents per share on revenue of $18.18 billion for the quarter. Most analysts exclude accounting gains and losses from changes in the valuation of Citigroup bonds from their core estimates.
In the year-ago quarter, the bank earned a net income of $2.2 billion or 69 cents per share, excluding non-core items, on adjusted revenue of $18.7 billion.
Expectations are low ahead of the bank's earnings. As evident from earnings reports from JPMorgan (JPM - Get Report) and Wells Fargo (WFC), fee income will likely be weak. The bank has also indicated that the pace of loan loss reserve releases will slow in the fourth quarter, partly due to the acquisition of a card portfolio from Best Buy (BBY). Reserve releases have been a crutch that many banks have used to prop up earnings.
It also said legal expenses will remain elevated and that repositioning expenses in the fourth quarter would be somewhat higher than previous quarters. Here's what will be in focus. Core Expenses: Citigroup is in the middle of a massive $1.1 billion restructuring plan that it announced in late 2012. The bank is exiting unprofitable markets, refocusing its operations in many markets and reducing headcount in its institutional clients business, among other steps to boost efficiency. Analysts have noted that the bank has made considerable progress. The efficiency ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of revenues) at Citicorp, its core banking arm, has declined from 63% in 2011 to 59% as of the 12 months ending Sept.2013. The bank has set a target efficiency ratio of the mid 50s by 2015. Core expenses exclude repositioning charges. But legal expenses continue to be a wildcard. Like its other too-big-to-fail peers, the bank faces a number of legal challenges, including a probe into alleged currency manipulation practices. Reuters reported Wednesday that regulators from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the New York Federal Reserve visited the London office of Citigroup this week in connection with the currency probe. The report follows news that the bank fired the head of European spot forex trading last week. Citi Holdings Drag: Citi Holdings, the bank's non-core arm which houses assets that are either up for sale or are in run-off mode, is now a much smaller portion of the overall bank. Assets at $122 billion account for only 6% of total Citigroup assets, compared to over 40% in 2008. Losses from Citi Holdings have also been steadily declining, with credit quality improving. Reducing both the size of Citi Holdings measured by assets as well as the earnings drag is key in order to be able to meet the bank's profitability targets. Citi is targeting a return on tangible common equity of 10% or higher, compared to 8.3% generated over the past 12 months. But Citi Holdings losses were a drag of 1.6% on ROTCE in the past 12 months. Similarly, if the bank has to achieve the low end of its target Return on Assets, or ROA, of 90 basis points to 110 basis points by 2015, it would have to earn $17 billion in profit in 2015, assuming assets stay at this level. Citicorp, the core arm, already generates $16 billion. So it is clear that if losses from holdings reduce, the bank will be able to meet its targets sooner. Capital Returns: Citigroup is now one of the most well-capitalized banks with a Basel II Tier I Common Ratio of 10.5%. The bank is required to hold a minimum of 9%. It still has sizeable deferred tax assets which if utilized would free up substantial capital. Citi shares have been bid up in the past years on expectations that the bank will eventually be in a position to return substantial capital to shareholders. So far, the bank has chosen to proceed cautiously, preferring to prove to regulators that it has sufficient capital to deal with severe economic conditions. Analysts will be looking for guidance on what the bank expects from the upcoming Federal Reserve stress tests. Investors are certainly hoping that the bank will finally raise its annual dividend from a measly 4 cents per share. Shares of Citigroup were rising 1.8% Wednesday. 26 out of 32 analysts rate the stock a buy or outperform. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New YorkFollow @shavenk

I am so sorry that we were down today. I am mad, but what can I do. We were at the mercy of the hosting company, who was at the mercy of the phone company, who was at the mercy of some idiots that cut into 72 fiber optic cables between my town and Birmingham, Alabama.
Anyhow, this fiber cut took the hosting company down. I am dissappointed, but for 7 years, I have used this company and have only had problems that were the fault of heavy traffic or my own mistakes. Not to mention they are local and it's great keeping that big payment in the local economy. I am just wondering why the ring that carries the traffic from the host to the hub in Birmingham was not on a protected ring that switches paths when a fiber is cut. Oh well.
Anyhow, it's great to be back. I was really having withdrawals. :)

Gold One keeps focus on mine ramp up
PUBLISHED: 02 Sep 2010 09:07:03 | UPDATED: 02 Sep 2010 09:07:03PRINT EDITION: 02 Sep 2010
South Africa-focused gold miner Gold One International Ltd says it expects to eventually expand production at its Modder East project near Johannesburg by about 30 per cent as output ramps up.
Chief executive Neil Froneman on Wednesday said the Sydney-headquartered miner expected its current annualised production of 72,000 ounces would rise to more than 100,000 oz, but didn't provide a timeframe for the increase.
Gold One on Tuesday said it produced 24,778 oz of the precious metal in the six months to June 30, despite a five-week strike in March and April.
But slower than expected ramp up in the new North 2 area had led to a drop in September quarter guidance to between 18,000 oz and 20,000 oz, from earlier forecasts of 25,000 oz.
The company will provide its 2011 production guidance after it completes a review of the ramp up in December.
"We poured our first gold only 12 months ago and then went into commercial production five months later, achieving our first tonne of gold by May this year," Mr Froneman told the Paydirt Africa Down Under conference in Perth on Wednesday.
He said the company had moved to a cashflow positive position with life-of-mine cash costs expected to be below $US300 an ounce.
Gold One on Tuesday posted a net first half net loss of $3.94 million although its gross profit totalled $17.1 million.
