Character Analysis
Mitch and Blanche are an example of a co-dependent relationship that is founded on mutual loneliness and the desire to be with someone – anyone – to distract themselves from previously suffered emotional damage. The only reason these two are together at all is out of mutual need. Or, as Mitch says, "You need somebody. And I need somebody, too. Could it be — you and me, Blanche?" (6.121).
Mitch might have his own reasons for liking Blanche, but we have a hard time believing that she harbors any real feelings for him. When they meet, it's clear that she has to carry the conversation entirely herself. Mitch is a bit slow, definitely awkward, and way inexperienced with women. This is in part why it's so easy for Blanche to manipulate him.
The big tip-off as to Blanche's real motives comes when Stella asks her, "Do you want him?" and she replies, "I want to rest! I want to breathe quietly again! Yes—I want Mitch…very badly! Just think! If it happens! I can leave here and not be anyone's problem…" (5.86-7). It's more about what Mitch can do for her than who Mitch actually is. And it's more about being married at all than it is about having him in particular as a husband.

39 year old man | Buena Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-35 within 13 miles
I could be "The One"...never know!
Just a regular Joe trying new avenues in hopes of meeting Mrs. Right in the near future. Match.com was recommended by a good friend and after some thought decided to take the plunge! Here is a little about me: I would say I'm an easy going, mild mannered guy but definitely know how to kick it up a notch and have a hell of a good time lol...I am respectful, caring, affectionate and take ultimate pride in being trustworthy and loyal to the fullest. I have 2 kids - daughter 17 & son 15...couldnt have been blessed with better kids. I am a pretty clean and neat person, I keep my place in order. Im not afraid of house work from dishes to moped floors, nothing better than a clean home. Hopefully I meet someone that feels the same. Food I like: Everything! lol...well I shouldnt say that because I know some cultures have some wild things...but Im not a picky eater, I dont pick out my onions, tomatoes and that sort of thing. Some of my interests include: DJing, playing pool, bowling, hiking (havent been in a while lol), movies (theater and at home) the beach, plays and musicals, camping, happy hour, bar hopping, clubs (occasionally), BBQ's with friends..ect. Im always up for new things. My Teams: Lakers & Dallas Cowboys! yeaaaahhh buddy! I've been employed at the same company for over 13 years and I also DJ on the side. A little about who and what I'm looking for: She should have all the same qualities I listed about myself, along with those she should also be confident, outgoing and have a good sense of humor. I like someone that is not easily embarrassed and not afraid to be silly. Some people might consider sarcasm a bad thing...I dont mind at all :) As far as looks and style...well I wouldnt say I have a specific preference but I will say this, she must take good care of herself (hair, nails, toes...ect), I love a woman that will do what it takes to be as sexy as she can. I find a woman very appealing when she can rock any type of outfit and make it sexy whether it be dressing up or dressing down...heels, sandals or tennis shoes or whatever the case may be. My type of girl is someone that can one day dress up and paint the town red but on the flipside can also have just as much fun at a local dive bar drinking and playing pool. I guess someone that is completely open and can have fun in any enviroment. My intent in trying match.com is to hopefully find that special person, someone compatible and hopefully build a friendship that may turn into something more. Well I guess I've said enough for now...if I spark an interest in you in any way or if you want to chat, shoot me an email or IM...I'll be around lol

Here characters act on lies they spin to protect themselves, or to protect others. In "What Do People Do All Day?", a child gamely stalls a father's confession of adultery. The heroine of "Fast Forward" tells her dying mother that she's engaged—a lie designed to give the old woman a final few days of happiness. And in "Memorial Day," a teenage boy struggles to adjust to his mother's new husband, a stepfather only thirteen years his senior.

Had Halibut with Sea Beans at Market last night. Now I am on the hunt to cook them myself. Anyone know where I can find them?
Whole Foods generally has them. They tend to be in the produce dept wall case with all the baskets of special mushrooms, chilis, etc. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal item, though.
Thanks litchick, I will check it out.

ham (v.)↕
Ham is a cut of meat from the thigh of the hind leg of an animal, especially pigs.[1] Nearly all hams sold today are fully cooked or cured.
Contents |
The word ham is derived from the Old English ham or hom meaning the hollow or bend of the knee.[2]
The "jambon d'Ardenne" is a dry-cured ham from Wallonia, rubbed with salt or immersed in a brine, which mature in a cool place; if it is smoked, it must be from wood or sawdust (softwood and reuse excluded). It has the European label Protected Geographical Indication.
Elenski but is a dry-cured ham from the town of Elena in northern Bulgaria and a popular delicacy throughout the country. The meat has a specific taste and can be preserved in the course of several years, owing much to the unique process of making the product and the climatic conditions of the part of Stara Planina where Elena is located.
In the coastal regions of Croatia; Istria, Dalmatia and Croatian Littoral, as well as in Lika a form of Ham known as "Pršut" is made. This is smoked and dried ham which is pressed and is very popular. The most popular pršuts come from town of Drniš and village Posedarje in Dalmatia. The popularity of pršut has helped it spread to other regions of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other surrounding countries. Pršut is similar to Italian hams. In continental Croatia the "Šunka"-s are made. Šunka is Croatian word for ham. It is not pressed but in other ways it is similar as Pršut but not as popular.
Chinese dry-cured hams have been recorded in texts since prior to Song dynasty and used in myriad dishes. Several types are existent in Qing dynasty and used in dishes of stewing hams (火腿炖肘子), and vegetables, or for a wide variety of soup and important soup stocks. One of the most famous Chinese hams is the Jinhua ham, a dry-cured ham which is used to produce a dish known as "Buddha jumps over the wall". Jinhua ham is used in Chinese cuisines to flavor stewed and braised foods as well as for making the stocks and broths of many Chinese soups. The ham was awarded first prize in the 1915 Panama International Merchandise Exhibition.[3]
Bayonne Ham or Bayonne is an air dried salted ham that takes its name from the ancient port city of Bayonne in the far South West of France (Le Pays Basque or Basque country). It is mainly produced in the Béarn region.
Jambon de Paris is a wet-cured, boneless ham, which is served cold in thin slices and is a favourite of French families, especially children, to fix a quick meal.
The jambon d'Aoste, jambon de Savoie, jambon d'Auvergne, and jambon d'Ardèche are other French hams with some form of official appellation.
Regional varieties of dry-cured, smoked hams include:
In Italy, ham is called prosciutto, and can be either cured (prosciutto crudo) or cooked (prosciutto cotto).
Earliest evidence of ham production in Italy comes from the Republican Roman period (400-300 BC). Modern Italian and European Union legislation grants a protected designation of origin to several raw hams, which specify where and how these types of ham can be produced.
There are several such hams from Italy, each one with a peculiar production process. Parma ham, the so called Prosciutto di Parma, has almost 200 producers concentrated in the eastern part of Parma Province. Its production is regulated by a quality consortium that recognizes qualifying products with distinctive mark. Only larger fresh hams are used (12-13 kilograms). Curing uses relatively little salt, but can include garlic salt and sugar, producing a sweeter meat. After salting, the meat is sealed with pig fat over the exposed muscle tissue, which slows drying. Curing occurs over a minimum 12 months. No nitrates or spices are used in the process.
San Daniele ham (Prosciutto di San Daniele) is the most similar to Parma ham, especially the low quantity of salt added to the meat, and is the most prized ham. Other raw hams include the so called "nostrani" or "nazionali" or "toscani"; they are more strongly flavoured and are produced using a higher quantity of salt.
Prague ham (Prosciutto di Praga), although originated in Prague in the early 1900, is one of the most known Italian cooked hams, and the province of Trieste (which was part of Austria-Hungary until 1918, just like Prague) is the center of its production.[5]
Éisleker Ham or Jambon d'Oesling is a speciality from the Oesling region in the north of Luxembourg. Traditionally, it was prepared by marinating the hams in herbs and vinegar for several days, then hanging them in a chimney for long periods of cold smoking. Today the meat is cured in brine for two weeks and placed in a smoker fed from beech and oak chips for about a week. Jambon d'Oesling is protected under EU regulations as having PGI status.[6][7]
Njeguška pršuta is an air-dried ham made in Njeguši, a village in Montenegro. Its particular flavor and aroma are the result of the mixture of sea and mountain air and wood burned during the drying process. It is similar to bacon.[8][9]
In the Philippines, ham, or hamon as it is called (from the Spanish jamón) is normally associated with the Yuletide season. There are local variants of Jamón Serrano, and there is Hamon de Bola, which is a ball-shaped wet cured ham, among other varieties. There is also tinned processed ham—the type in cans—available year round in groceries. The main Christmas ham, similar to a Chinese ham and served in some Noche Buenas, is similar to a dry cured one, and it has to be cooked in a special sweet broth after being soaked to reduce the salt. Then the ham is scored and glazed, and roasted. Hamon de Bola, produced by the major Philippine food manufacturers, is usually offered as gifts to employees in most companies and government offices during the Yuletide season. This can be either baked or fried. As with the other dishes "localized" from foreign sources, the Philippine palate favors the sweeter variety of ham.
In Portugal, besides several varieties of wet-cured hams called fiambre (not to be confused with the Guatemalan dish, also called fiambre), the most important type of ham is presunto, a dry-cured ham similar to Spanish jamón and Italian prosciutto. There is a wide variety of presuntos in Portugal; among the most famous are presunto from Chaves and presunto from Alentejo made from black Iberian pig (see also pata negra).
In Romania, ham is called şuncă/şonc/şoancă/jambon. Usually it is dry cured, always with granular salt; in Transylvania and Banat, paprika might be added.
Most famous Serbian ham (pršut in Serbian) is produced in Zlatibor mountain region, especially Mačkat village, where annual ham festival is held every January. Zlatibor region feel the influences of mediterranean and continental climate and in this area is "wind rose" which is one of the main reasons for production of quality ham. Delicatessen products include beef, swine and sheep ham. Also famous delicacy is Užice ham (Užička pršut) produced in western Serbia, near Užice town. Also famous ham region is Vojvodina in the north, especially Banat. There are also quality ham products from Stara Planina region in the south-east Serbia, on the border with Bulgaria. Worth mentioning is traditional ham production in the Šumadija region.
One of the more exacting ham regulatory practices can be found in Spain, where ham is called jamón. Hams in Spain are not only classified according to preparation, but also the breed, the pre-slaughter diet and region of preparation are considered important.
The jamón serrano (Serrano Ham) comes from the white pig. The regional appellations of Spanish Serrano ham include the following:
Jamón Ibérico (Iberian ham) comes from the black Iberian Pig, and is also classified depending on the amount of acorns they eat, which determines the ham quality. Spanish regulators[11] recognize three qualities:
The regional appellations (D.O.) of Iberian ham include the following:
British ham is closely associated with the older Wiltshire cure process[13] rather than the newer Sweet cure.[13] Gammon steaks are thick cut and circular in shape. The word Gammon derives from the Old Northern French word jambe for hind-leg of the pig,[14] and may also be used to refer to bacon. The depth of meat to the bone is greatest at the top of the hind limb; cutting this piece from the side and curing it separately therefore cures the meat thoroughly and easily. This cut is the original and to this extent authentic form of Gammon,[15] though the name is often applied to any round ham steak. Gammon is usually smoked.
York ham[16] is a mild-flavoured ham, lightly smoked and dry-cured, which is saltier but milder in flavour than other European dry-cured hams.[17] that has delicate pink meat and does not need further cooking before eating. It is traditionally served with Madeira Sauce.[18][19] Folklore has it that the oak construction for York Minster provided the sawdust for smoking the ham.[20]
The United States largely inherited its traditions relating to ham and pork from 17th-century Britain and 18th-century France, the latter especially in Louisiana. The French often used wet cure processed hams that are the foundation stock of several modern dishes, like certain gumbos and sandwiches. Until the very early twentieth century, men living in the southern Appalachians would drive their pigs to market in the flatlands below each Autumn, fattening up their stock on chestnuts and fallen mast, much like their Scottish forebearers did for centuries. Further, archaeological evidence suggests that the early settlers of Jamestown (men largely from the West Midlands) built swine pens for the pigs they brought with them and, once established, also carried on an ancient British tradition of slaughtering their pigs and producing their pork in mid-November. To this day, the result is that in many areas, a large ham, not a turkey, is the centerpiece of a family Christmas dinner.
In the United States, ham is regulated primarily on the basis of its cure and water content. The USDA recognizes the following categories:
Fresh ham is an uncured hind leg of pork. Country ham is uncooked, cured, dried, smoked or unsmoked, made from a single piece of meat from the hind leg of a hog or from a single piece of meat from a pork shoulder (picnic ham). Country ham typically is saltier and less sweet than city ham. Virginia's Smithfield ham, a country ham, must be grown and produced in or around Smithfield, Virginia, to be sold as a Smithfield ham. Similar hams from Tennessee and the Appalachians have a similar method of preparation, but may include honey in their cures and be hickory smoked. As country ham ages, mold may grow on the outside of the ham, while the rest of the meat continues to age. This process produces a distinctive flavor, but the mold layer is usually scrubbed or cut off the ham before being cooked and served.[21]
For most other purposes, under US law, a "ham" is a cured hind leg of pork that is at least 20.5% protein (not counting fat portions), and contains no added water. However, "ham" can be legally applied to "turkey ham" if the meat is taken from the turkey thigh. If the ham has less than 20.5% but is at least 18.5% protein, it can be called "ham with natural juices". A ham that is at least 17.0% protein and up to 10% added solution can be called "ham—water added". Finally, "ham and water product" refers to a cured hind leg of pork product that contains any amount of added water, although the label must indicate the percent added ingredients. If a ham has been cut into pieces and molded, it must be labelled "sectioned and formed", or "chunked and formed" if coarsely ground.
Sugar is common in many dry hams in the United States; it is used to cover the saltiness. The majority of common wet-cured ham available in U.S. supermarkets is of the "city ham" or "sweet cure" variety,[13][22] in which brine is injected into the meat for a very rapid curing suitable for mass market. Traditional wet curing requires immersing the ham in a brine for an extended period, often followed by light smoking.
In addition to the main categories, some processing choices can affect legal labeling. A 'smoked' ham must have been smoked by hanging over burning wood chips in a smokehouse or an atomized spray of liquid smoke such that the product appearance is equivalent; a "hickory-smoked" ham must have been smoked using only hickory. However, injecting "smoke flavor" is not legal grounds for claiming the ham was "smoked"; these are labeled "smoke flavor added". Hams can only be labelled "honey-cured" if honey was at least 50% of the sweetener used, is at least 3% of the formula, and has a discernible effect on flavor. So-called "lean" and "extra lean" hams must adhere to maximum levels of fat and cholesterol per 100 grams of product.
Turkey ham, a boneless product made from pressed turkey thigh meat, is a low-fat alternative to traditional ham in the US.[23]
Spiral sliced ham has become popular option for bone-in or boneless hams sold in the US.[24] In the spiral cutting process, the ham is firmly affixed, on the top and bottom, to a rotating base, which is gradually lowered as a blade is applied. This creates one single continuous slice.[25]
Tinned ham (more commonly known in the United States as "canned ham") is a meat product that is sold exclusively in tins (or cans). The ham itself is usually formed from smaller cuts of meat, cooked in the can, and is often covered in an aspic jelly during the canning process. Two versions are available, perishable and shelf-stable. Tinned ham is usually sold in supermarkets and convenience stores.

Ham is uncooked preserved pork. It is cured (a preservation process) usually in large quantities of salt and sugar. Then hot smoked (hung over a hot, smokey fire but out of direct heat) to preserve it more. This process keeps the pink hue of the uncooked meat. Standard pork, like chops, are raw and unpreserved. When heat is applied to the meat a chemical reaction happens that turns the hemoglobin white. This also happens when an acid is applied to meats.
The pink color of ham develops in the curing process which involves salt and usually either nitrites or nitrates. The nitrate cure is used for product that will either be kept a long time or at room temperature like dry salami. Most hams are cured with nitrite and salt today.
The cure prevents the growth of unhealthy bacteria (maybe deadly) before enough moisture is withdrawn by the salt. This is particularly important if the product is to be smoked above 40F when these bacteria grow. The "danger zone" for uncured product is between 40F and 140F.
There is confusion in the words curing and brining. Brining is done with salt and usually sugar and only alters the product color a little. Curing is done with salt and nitrates.
Sodium nitrite is used for the curing of meat because it prevents bacterial growth and, in a reaction with the meat's myoglobin, gives the product a desirable dark red color. Because of the toxicity of nitrite (the lethal dose of nitrite for humans is about 22 mg per kg body weight), the maximum allowed nitrite concentration in meat products is 200 ppm. Under certain conditions, especially during cooking, nitrites in meat can react with degradation products of amino acids, forming nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens.[26]

Minnesota ranks ninth for LEED Green Building
Tuesday, February 10, 2015
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) released its annual ranking of the top 10 states in the nation for LEED, the world's most widely used and recognized green building rating system. Minnesota came in ninth.
"Minnesota has so many committed business and community leaders, policy makers and green building professionals who are using LEED to transform their built environment, producing many innovative spaces that will improve the health of our shared planet, as well as the health of the people who use those buildings every day," says Rick Fedrizzi, CEO and founding chair, USGBC, in a press release.
Projects in the Twin Cities with LEED include the Wells Fargo Center and Campbell Mithun Tower, both in Minneapolis and both LEED Gold; and Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul (LEED Certified).
Minneapolis rises from 6th to 5th place in creative cities ranking
Tuesday, January 20, 2015
According to a report conducted using data from the Western States Arts Federation, Minneapolis has moved from sixth place to fifth place in terms of its creative vitality.
The report,
delivered to the Minneapolis City Council last week,
shows that the city's "creative" jobs and organizations, in addition to residents' spending on books, artwork and performing-arts tickets, helped the city move up the list.
Minneapolis residents spent about $1,165 per year on the arts, the report said, compared to sports-related sales in the city amounted to about $534 million in revenue. Meanwhile, Minneapolis generated another $311 million in revenues from arts-related nonprofits. That total includes grants awarded to organizations or museums and ticket sales for those groups' events.
Twin Cities among top 10 for Millennials
Tuesday, January 13, 2015
According to a recent survey by the news and culture website
, Minneapolis is sixth and St. Paul is eighth in livability for Millennials.
Factors in creating the index ranged from salary stats and employment rates to the price of a ounce of pot. "To reach our top 35, we started with the 100 most populous cities in America and used open-source Internet data to measure vital stats like salary and employment rates, and the cost of rent and utilities, as well as everyday concerns like public transportation, weather and crime," according to the website.
"We also considered lifestyle metrics such as the price of dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and an ounce of high-quality weed—you know, the important stuff—as well as access to live music and sports."
Matt's Bar makes Thrillist
Tuesday, January 06, 2015
Isn't it "fun" when outsiders decide which of our heralded eating establishments are "most iconic?" Still, we can't argue with
's selection of Matt's Bar for Minnesota, especially because of the Jucy Lucy. In the midst of a polar votex, the hot burger stuff with melted cheese is just the antidote for the cold.
Still, the writeup is curious. "Matt's qualifies as a restaurant because
is stocked with hard liquor and is not frequented by families with kids. Most importantly, it's an iconic restaurant because Matt's invented the 'Jucy Lucy'. It's spell differently, here, because someone 'forgot to add the i', but it doesn't matter how you spell it, really, because the burgers have hot, beautiful cheese pouring out of the middle of the patty. Thank you, Minnesota."
Well, okay. You're welcome.
Minneapolis fourth-best city for young entrepreneurs
Wednesday, December 03, 2014
According to the personal finance site NerdWallet, Minneapolis is the
fourth-best U.S. city for young entrepreneurs.
To determine the ranking NerdWallet examined cities across the country, and measured such factors as access to funding ("the dollar value of commercial and industrial, or C&I, loans under $250,000 lent per capita in 2013 by banks with less than $10 billion in total assets) and opportunities for networking and mentorship.
"For those just starting a business, the right environment—surrounded by successful business leaders—is key, so we included the number of businesses for 100 residents in a city's metro area,"
Sreekar Jasthi
wrote in the report. "To assess the availability of peers for networking, we included the percentage of residents in each city age 25 to 34 as well as the percentage of the population over 25 with at least a bachelor's degree." NerdWallet also looked at the local economies of each city, and cost-of-living or affordability.
About Minneapolis Jasthi wrote that the city "has a large population of residents age 25 to 34, who live in the Twin Cities' business friendly environment—a place with a high number of businesses per 100 people, and a low unemployment rate. Minneapolis also ranked highly on NerdWallet's list of the
best cities for female entrepreneurs
, with organizations such as Women Entrepreneurs of Minnesota offering a wealth of resources."
MSP airport concourse becomes an arts corridor
Wednesday, November 12, 2014
MSP International Airport is finalizing plans for its new "arts corridor" on the C Concourse,
The New York Times
recently reported. Under the guidance of Robyne Robinson, one of the Twin Cities top jewelry designers, a former news anchor and Airport Foundation MSP's arts and culture director, the new corridor will create a "gateway" to the abundant arts and culture of the cities.
"We want to make sure that when people get off the plane, they know there's a place they can go to and get to know us and get onto their flight and have a better understanding of what Minneapolis is, so that the next time they come through, they'll want to see some film, see some art," Robinson said.
The corridor includes a new screening lounge that will open in November. The lounge has modular and cinema-style seating with multiple high-definition screens; rotating programs highlighting local filmmakers; and a collapsible stage for lectures or small performances, according to the article.
While commercially run movie houses are available to passengers in Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore airports, the MSP airport's screening room is the first of its kind in the United States.
Works Progress' "Water Bar" at Crystal Bridges Museum
Wednesday, November 12, 2014
The Minneapolis-based
Works Progress
comprised of Colin Kloecker and Shanai Matteson, is part of the
State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now
exhibition at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, AK. Just inside the museum's lobby is Kloecker and Matteson's project
Water Bar
A partnership between Works Progress and the museum, as well as scientific researchers, environmental advocates, public employees, educators and local residents, Water Bar is an interactive installation that invites visitors to sample and compare water from three local sources: Beaver Lake (Bentonville), the Illinois River (Siloam Springs), and an artesian well in Sulphur Springs.
Representatives from the Illinois River Watershed Partnership and local educational institutions are staffing the bar. In addition to serving water, they engage visitors in conversations about drinking water, where it comes from and how to protect it.
The exhibition, with Water Bar, is on view until January 19, 2015. Works Progress is also participating in a
State of the Art
on November 14-15 to talk about how they engage artists, designers, organizers and creative professionals to realize public art rooted in place and purpose.
"Works Progress uses place, design and the shared experience of drinking water to focus our attention on local water sources," says Chad Alligood, curator, Crystal Bridges. "The collaboration with Works Progress and the Illinois River Watershed Partnership represents a convergence of art and advocacy that engages the community in conversations about an issue that affects all of us."
Matteson adds that, "We hope to install a local version of the Water Bar project in 2015 that will highlight Minnesota's water resources, and are currently seeking collaborators and support."
MSP top metro for innovatively solving urban issues
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Minneapolis-St. Paul was recently named one of the top 10 innovative cities in the U.S. by
CNN Money.
"From technology and infrastructure, to job creation and sustainability," the article stated, the cities included are "leading the pack when it comes to creatively solving urban issues."
About MSP, the article stated, "June saw the opening of a new light rail line between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Experts from around the country praised it as an example of
transportation infrastructure done right
-- it integrated the needs of the affected communities and used the new line to drive economic development."
The Twin Cities were also selected as "early adopters of programs to help immigrants start businesses, artists buy real estate, and enlist local execs in solving community problems. The Cities also get high marks for their public health efforts, including smoking cessation programs, cancer screening and efforts to create walkable communities."
Minneapolis is the new....everything
Wednesday, October 08, 2014
According to a recent article in the
Huffington Post
, Minneapolis is #5 among
"America's Top 5 Cities to Keep on Your Radar."
Why? Because "Minneapolis is the new...everything," the article says.
"[I]t seems like there's always a new 'hip' neighborhood or 'it' city to visit," the article continues. "Which had us thinking about the coolest cities to visit
right now
. After much map-scouring and a sprinkle of savvy"
selected Minneapolis, as "the city is becoming trendier by the second. Between Minneapolis' awesome music scene, wealth of vintage stores and pro teams in pretty much every league, there is literally something for everyone."

MSP among top job markets for college grads
Wednesday, September 10, 2014
According to Richard Florida, co-founder and editor at large of
Minneapolis-St. Paul is one of the best places for recent college graduates.
The Twin Cities placed sixth among 20 metro areas studied.
Using economic and labor market data provided by
, Florida and his crew ranked America's 100 largest metros based on
Bureau of Labor Statistics figures
on full-time regular employment for about 320 occupations that require post-secondary education. They then ranked the data using five key factors:
• Percent change in jobs requiring post-secondary education from 2010 to 2014.
• Percentage of 25-34 year olds who hold these positions.
• Average wages for these jobs requiring post-secondary education.
• Concentration of these jobs based on their "location quotient."
• Share of new jobs requiring post-secondary education that can be attributed to local economic conditions or competitiveness.
"Tech and knowledge hubs lead the pack," Florida
. "San Francisco takes first place, followed by San Jose, the center of the Silicon Valley. Austin is third, Seattle, fourth, and Denver, fifth. Minneapolis-St. Paul, Boston, Houston, Raleigh and L.A. round out the top ten. Overall the leading metros for these highly-skilled jobs reflect the twin pillars of
America's knowledge-energy economy.
Minneapolis third in Bicycling Magazine's top cities list
Wednesday, September 10, 2014
Minneapolis came in third in
Bicycling Magazine
's 2014 list of Top 50 Bike Friendly Cities.
"Minneapolis has long been an exemplary city for cycling—it topped our rankings in 2010 and was second in 2012. Even so, before she became mayor in 2014, Betsy Hodges said the city needed even better amenities for people like her who enjoyed biking but shied from traffic," the article stated.
Last winter, Hodges called out the "the city's 4,000-plus year-round bike commuters" and "delivered a proclamation touting the city's progress: 19 miles of bicycle boulevards installed since 2011; one of the country's biggest bike-share systems per resident; and learn-to-ride classes that have spread the city's bike culture to its large Somali community."
She also stated that "by 2020, Minneapolis would install 30 more miles of protected bikeways, so people like her, and thousands of others in the city, would feel more comfortable riding their bikes."
St. Paul came in 40th in the survey, and was lauded for "doubl[ing] the number of bike commuters betrween 2005 and 2012, and in 2014 unveiled a bicycle master plan calling for a loop of off-street bike paths downtown."
Nice Ride "the nicest bike-share system in the U.S."
Wednesday, July 09, 2014
According to The Atlantic Media's
web magazine, the Twin Cities' Nice Ride bike-sharing program "has become part of the fabric of Minneapolis, a once-fading city clearly on the rebound."
In her article,
"This Really Might Be the Nicest Bike-Share System in the United States,"
Sarah Goodyear writes that Nice Ride is also one of the most successful bike-share programs in the U.S., in part because "checking out one of the system's 1,550 bikes is indeed a pleasant experience, as is riding along the city's well-developed bike infrastructure, which includes 92 miles of on-street bikeways and 85 miles of off-street paths—many of which are high-functioning commuter routes, not just recreational byways."
She also notes that "Biking around Minneapolis in the halcyon days of late spring and early summer reveals a city that feels like it's preparing for an increasingly prosperous future. Construction crews are everywhere, building new residential developments in a downtown that was long ago hollowed out by urban renewal. A brand-new light rail line has just started running between the Twin Cities, easing the commute of thousands and creating a new kind of physical connection. A grand hall originally built as the trading floor of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange is now finding new life as CoCo, a collaborative space filled with startups and entrepreneurs, some of whom have come here from bigger and more expensive cities to find a different pace and environment."
Minnesota nation's third best state for making a living
Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Washington state is first. Texas is second. And Minnesota is the third best place in which to make a living according to a new study by
The state "moved up three slots from sixth last year, largely on the strength of a very low unemployment rate and excellent workplace conditions," according to the study's website. "The state does have a higher-than-average cost of living and tax burden, but incomes in the state are more than enough to make up for these disadvantages."
The list accounts for each state's average salary, cost of living, unemployment rate and workplace satisfaction. The study then uses that data to rank the 10 best and worst.
Minneapolis #1 in city parks
Wednesday, June 04, 2014
According to a study just released by
The Trust for Public Land
, Minneapolis ranks first among the U.S.'s 60 largest cities in number and quality of city parks. The
ParkScore Index
placed Minneapolis far ahead of New York City, Boston, Portland and San Francisco.
The ParkScore numbers are based on three factors, according to an
AP article
: the percentage of residents living within a 10-minute walk from a park, median park size and the percentage of total city area dedicated to parks, and a combination of the number of playgrounds per 10,000 residents and per-capita park spending.
"The Trust says 94 percent of Minneapolis residents live within a 10-minute walk from a park, and it scores the city high for its park spending and its median park size of 6 ½ acres," according to the AP article.

Style of hotel, location, comfort - Iryna
The staff were excellent, and welcomed me back to the hotel, even though my previous visit was over a year ago ( nice touch ). - Anne
Excellent in every aspect. We had a very spacious room and we got a special price of 100EUR. The hotel is very modern and trendy and even though it is located a bit far from the city centre there is a free shuttle from the hotel as well as normal city buses. - Leandro
The kitchen set up was awesome...I was only there for a night and wish I could have stayed longer to use all the facilities. Perfect location for train not airport though. Great little cafes around and try the Chinese restaurant...this is coming from a US resident (FL) and I hate Chinese food in the states but it was the best I have had better than our best gourmet places in South FL at least. The staff is so friendly!! And so helpful. The studio we had reminded me of a place right out of the s - Anonymous
centralt bra läge på hotellet - Ann
Location is right on shopping open mall but still very quiet. Co stanza had a family emergency and was unable to 'host' our stay but let us stay in the rooms without being there which was fine with us. She is the most amazingly kind, generous and wonderful person for letting us stay. The rooms are all good some with a single bed as well as double. Bathroom and toiletries are good and Nespresso machine available. Visit Angelo at L' Ancio restaurant nearby - Anonymous

Jay Fisher makes every type of edged steel weapon, fitting the blade to it's purpose. The world's elite clandestine rescue and tactical squads seek his weapons. Their lives depend on Jay Fisher Custom Knives- the best quality knives in the world."
--Bernardo M. Perez
Deputy Assistant Director - Ret.
FBI Laboratory
Washington, D.C.
Named "The Best Living Knife Maker" in the 2007 Best of the West Sourcebook by True West Publications
"Many fine knifemakers exist in the world. Some Excel at making weapons, others at creating art. At his Enchanted Spirits Studio in Clovis, New Mexico, Jay Fisher does both. In the blade business since 1988, Fisher makes knives, many featuring gemstone handles, for collectors, museums and people who really know how to use 'em (101st Airborne, Special Forces, USAF Pararescue)."
--from the 2007 Best of the West magazine
The worldwide best-selling author Tom Clancy says:
"You know, I never believed in decorous weapons until I met Jay Fisher. Where does one draw the line between a fighting knife and a work of art?
Jay Fisher is a throwback to the age when craftsmen were *all* artists, not mere producers of products, when every item that went out the door had a story and a purpose all its own, and when you went to a craftsman not because of what you wanted but because of who he was.
Jay is a guy who knows how to use the modern to serve the past. We really do make better steel today than we did a hundred years ago - the idea of cutting an ancient Samurai sword in two with a modern American knife does have its attractions - and the blend of old and new in his work is totally seamless. A knight Templar would not have hesitated a moment to take Fisher's steel on his Holy Quest. In fact, he would have thought the technological edge a gift from an especially attentive God.
I suppose that says it all. Jay Fisher is one of a kind, a man who knows the riddle of steel, and that the difference between a good weapon and a bad one is the combination of how you make it and to whom you give it."

Occasionally, I get tired of plain old rectangular shaped WinForms applications and decide to add some simple rounded-rectangular-ly shaped elements to change it up. The problem is I have to remember how to make them. And, because it's the holiday season, why not keep it fun and light? For your programming pleasure and amusement, in the spirit of the holidays, here is a simple control that rounds the edges of a panel. Generally, in math classes or if you are a pilot or use maps, you think of the coordinate system with North (or 360° or 0°) as being situated at the top, rotation clockwise through 360°. In a Cartesian system this would situate 0° at the top and 180° at the bottom, representing the y-axis and 90° and 270° situated left and right representing the x-axis. GDI+ does not treat the coordinate system that way, at least as far as drawing arcs is concerned. The coordinate system is rotated 90° to the right, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: The Cartesian coordinate system is oriented titled to the right, so 0° is on the right or x-axis. Knowing the orientation of significant reference points is important if you are going to draw anything manually with GDI+. Technically, to draw a rounded corner you must know the radius of your circle. The radius will be the offset distance from any of the rectangle's four edges. For example, a rounded upper-right corner would be start at width-d and 0 where d represents the arcs radius, width-d is the x-coordinate and 0 is the y-coordinate. Because the arc starts in the up position, the starting angle would be 270°; to obtain a quarter-circle, the arc would sweep 90°. (Four corners mean 360° divided by 4, yields 90° for each corner arc.) See Figure 2 for an illustration. Figure 2: To round a corner, you need x and y and the starting angle and sweep; the upper right corner is 270° and a quarter circle is 90°. To implement the rounded-rectangle effect, you need a graphics path with the lines and arcs that enclose the panel and assign this graphics path to the Region property of the panel. All of this additional code sits tidily packaged up in a class that inherits from Panel and overrides the OnPaint method of the Panel. Listing 1 provides the complete source code listing. Listing 1: A complete listing for a rounded-rect Panel control. The solution originates in OnPaint calling the base OnPaint method to draw the basic Panel and then ExtendedDraw and DrawBorder to complete the effect. ExtendedDraw creates the GraphicsPath that traces the Panel's original bounds and adds enclosing Arcs for the corners. DrawBorder as designed will always draw a border around the Panel. See Figure 3 for the result. Figure 3: The rounded rectangle with a Lavender background and white border on a CornFlowerBlue form. Because the GraphicsPath is assigned to the Panel's Region (aka clipping region), the actual boundaries of the Panel are constrained by the new region. This means if you assign a click event to the Panel and click in the missing corners, the Panel will not receive or respond to the event; that is, the Panel's actually region is constrained by the GraphicsPath, not just its visual appearance. Custom shaped controls can add some visual interest to you applications. You need to know the orientation of the drawing reference system for GDI+ and then it's basically lines, arcs, shapes, and graphics used with a GraphicsPath object and the control's clipping region. You aren't required to use inheritance to create shaped controls, but it does make them easier to reuse. Paul Kimmel is a freelance writer for Developer.com and CodeGuru.com.

This credenza arrived today (a little longer than usual for O - but still quick). It is more beautiful in person than in the pics. The wood design on the top has sort of a starburst motiff with an inlay detail - very pretty. It shipped with glass in the doors - which was shocking at first since we weren't looking for glass doors - but we quickly found the wood grain inserts - so nice to have options. For the price - this piece is very nice. It shipped already assembled (minus door inserts as stated). It is heavy. the back is unfinished but with holes for electronics. Each of the three drawers is velvet lined with a piece of wood dividing the drawer in half (front and back). The inserts are not removable (absent brute force) but look nice. They could probably be removed if you never wanted to put them back in. We are using this as a TV stand in the bedroom - and looks great.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? nice color - many rich tones of different colors
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good for the price
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? not enough in hte description
Arrived carefully packaged, fully assembled, and with no damage at all. We love it. It is solid and the details are beautiful. We had looked in local furniture stores and didn't find anything of quality for the pricing. Took a shot with this one and we are not disappointed. It is solid and the finish is beautiful. Drawers glide easily and have nice lining in them. Shipped with glass in the doors; Keeping it in. Don't know if others mentioned, but the glass inserts are etched which adds to the beauty of the piece. Should I ever tire of this as an entertainment center, I'll pop in the wood inserts and use it as buffet.
First of all, any furniture that comes fully assembled is a plus in my book. Secondly, no nicks, scratches, blemishes of any kind to be found, as it was packaged very well and delivered with care and courtesy. Lastly, it's simply a beautiful piece. The color is darker than the photo, but there are no complaints from me. The fact that I can switch out the beveled glass doors for wooden doors, should I choose, is also a plus. I am very happy with my purchase and am looking at the matching end table now.

Review of P3326 - Close-to-Ceiling
By Brenda B. A. from Thomasville, NC on Jun 01, 2011
The items were as expected;however, in my opinion, lighting fixtures in general are grossly overpriced. Over $100 for a couple of wires, a little aluminum foil, stamped frame and milk glass is not a particularly good value. Having said that, the service was excellent.

Repairing broken links to the world: Devils Lake looks forward to restored rail service, air service
DEVILS LAKE — A century ago, a local newspaper, the Devils Lake World, boasted of the community's connections with places far and wide.
While that may have been something of an exaggeration, people living in the Devils Lake Basin today might welcome such optimism, because connecting with the rest of the world has become a major logistical and economic headache.

SilverStone Temjin TJ11 (SST-TJ11B-W) Tower Chassis Review
SilverStone has been really stepping it up as of late. Have a look at the new TJ11, the latest from their amazing bag of tricks!
For a case company, it really takes something special to get me on the edge of my seat in anticipation for it to arrive. It seems I go through quite a few "plain black boxes with options" to get to choose the cases that make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Up to now I don't think any company has had me feeling this as much as SilverStone has done this last year, and even beyond that. While every case they produced over that time weren't exactly what I was looking for, I did end up enjoying my time using them and eventually they won me over in time anyways.
This year more specifically, I have gotten to see some really ingenious layout designs and overall concepts. For those who don't frequent my writings, please refer to the RV03, the FT03, or even the PS06. In each of the three, there are some similarities in layout, materials and most importantly, craftsmanship while still offering three very unique chassis'.
Today is no different. For those who had the pleasure of seeing or using some of the earlier Temjin Series chassis, I envy you. I have always wanted to acquire a Temjin chassis before I was writing reviews, but at that time even, they were cost preventive in me getting one. My personal favorite was the TJ07, and at a very close second were the squarer TJ09 and TJ10 models. One thing all of these cases share is that they were ahead of their time in case tech and very pleasing to the eyes. The biggest thing about the TJ07 I liked was the compartmentalized interior to break up the heat sources and offer their own ways of cooling each major compartment.
Taking styling cues from the TJ07 and using aluminum like its predecessors, that is really where the similarities stop. Let me draw you a mental picture really quick. Take the outside of the TJ07, thicken its structure and panels and completely reverse the layout of the case so that the window is now on the right side of the case just like the RV02. Keep the clockwise, 90 degree turned, motherboard orientation and make it fully removable. To the left is a full run of optical drive bays and it leaves the bottom of the chassis with a huge box of room for the hard drive bays and up to two power supplies.
Make this all black and throw in a very well placed window, and you got the basic idea of what we are about to get a really good and long look at. While all this is still fresh in your head, we should venture off into the exact specifications so you can get a much more detailed idea of how the latest Temjin Series chassis from SilverStone is laid out. Get comfortable, settle in and enjoy the SST-TJ11B-W - hopefully as much as I do!
