Designed with great care by the late Professor Koichi Kawana to ensure authenticity, this 14-acre garden is the largest of its type in the Western hemisphere. A four-acre lake is complemented with waterfalls, streams, and water-filled basins. Dry gravel gardens are raked into beautiful, rippling patterns. Four islands rise from the lake to form symbolic images. Several Japanese bridges link shorelines; families delight in the feeding of the giant "koi" (Japanese carp). Visitors are enthralled by cherry blossoms, azaleas, chrysanthemums, peonies, lotus, and other oriental plantings. This garden represents centuries of tradition and a multiplicity of cultural influences synthesized in a uniquely Japanese art form.

|Bruins not dwelling on recent struggles vs. Canadiens
|03.11.14 at 6:36 pm ET
MONTREAL — Whenever the Bruins and Canadiens play, it's a big game. For the last year, the rivalry has been a big disappointment for the Bruins.
The Habs have won the last five meetings between the two teams dating back to last March 3 and are looking to improve to 3-0-0 against the B's this season. In each of the last three games between the teams, the Bruins have scored just one goal.
The B's can't put their finger on why the Habs have had their number, but Claude Julien ventured a guess Tuesday.
"I can't answer that, but I can tell you one thing: I don't think we've played well against them," Julien said. "Have they given us trouble or have we given ourselves trouble? That's the thing we've got to figure out here because in my mind it's not to take any credit away from them but I'm going to talk more about this year.
"The game in Boston [a 4-1 Habs win on Jan. 31], we just weren't playing well at all, so hopefully tomorrow we'll paint a different picture, and if we play the way we've played lately I think it's going to be a great game. So we've just got to focus on that."
While the troublesome outings have been there for the B's in recent meetings with the Canadiens, Julien wouldn't go as far as saying that the Habs do something that throws them off their game. Read the rest of this entry »
MONTREAL — Healthy scratches aren't expected to be a regular thing for Dougie Hamilton, so it was rather surprising in the team's first practice since Hamilton was benched for Andrej Meszaros that Hamilton was skating on the team's fourth pairing with Corey Potter.
However, Claude Julien cautioned against reading into the pairings in Tuesday's practice at the Bell Centre, which were as follows:
Zdeno Chara – Andrej Meszaros
Matt Bartkowski – Johnny Boychuk
Torey Krug – Kevan Miller
Dougie Hamilton – Corey Potter
"No, no, don't read into that guys, I didn't even make pairs today," Julien said at the mention of Hamilton skating with Potter. "They just kind of paired themselves, believe it or not. We were just doing a practice here at moving pucks and so on and so forth. There was nothing; don't read anything into what you saw today as far as who's with who. Like I said, I didn't even make pairs today."
Though he did not say whether Hamilton will be back in the lineup Wednesday against the Canadiens, Julien stressed that Meszaros wasn't acquired to take Hamilton's job.
"Dougie's not going to sit long," Julien said. "Dougie has played good hockey and he's been good for us, so Dougie is not going to be the guy that is going to be singled out here. Dougie is going to be back in our lineup, and it's just a matter of me making those tough decisions.
"We hadn't lost a game and we put Mez in; we played fairly well. Now we won again, [but it] doesn't mean my lineup's not going to change. So I've got to make some tough decisions here as we move forward, but the good part is we've got a lot of games in a short span of time, so there's lots of room for everybody to get in there."
As for Meszaros, Julien said that the team is trying out the left-shooting Meszaros on the right side — as it did Sunday when he played with Chara — to make sure he is comfortable playing both sides.
"He's played left all year. He's played right most of his career, but right now we know he can play left," Julien said. "The toughest part is for a guy to play on his off-side, so we've got him playing right in practice right now just to make sure, because he hasn't played the right side this year. He's played for about 10 years on the right side, but this year he hadn't played there, so we're just giving him an opportunity here to get comfortable there as well because we're going to need him to play both sides."
|Claude Julien on Patrice Bergeron: 'Now there's no doubt in my mind that everybody knows how good he is'
|02.25.14 at 3:58 pm ET
Claude Julien called coaching a gold medal-winning Canada team in the Olympics "a once in a lifetime kind of thing" upon returning to Bruins practice Tuesday, but he seemed just as happy for Patrice Bergeron as he was for himself.
Julien, who was an associate coach under head coach Mike Babcock, said he found it very satisfying to see Bergeron — a player who has won gold at both the World Championships and World Junior Championships, win the Stanley Cup and added his second gold medal over the weekend — cement his standing as one of the world's best players, even if he often gets overlooked because he doesn't put up as many points as others.
"He's such a complete player, and it's nice to see that he was seen the same way on a bigger stage," Julien said. "Now there's no doubt in my mind that everybody knows how good he is."
It didn't take long for Bergeron, who began as the team's fourth-line right wing on a line with Jamie Benn and John Tavares, to establish himself as a difference-maker on a loaded roster. With Norway playing Canada in a much closer game than anyone could have expected early on in Canada's opening game of the preliminary round, Bergeron assisted goals from Shea Weber and Jamie Benn in a 3-1 win, the latter of which was the result of a beautiful pass from Bergeron in the offensive zone.
As the tournament went on, Bergeron moved up to play with Sidney Crosby and he proved to be a big asset in keeping the team's semifinal game against Team USA a 1-0 contest.
"He was one of our best players and I'm not afraid to say that," Julien said of Bergeron's performance. "He came in and his line in that first game, with Benn and Tavares, was probably our best line. He was playing so well, he ended up moving up to the Crosby line and basically brought some good stability to that line and they were much better from then on.
"He made a lot of highlight clips in our reviews just by how hard he worked on both sides of the coin. Defensively, offensively, he made some great things. Forecheck, turn pucks over, backcheck."
Bergeron used the stage provided by the team's 2011 Stanley Cup to show anyone unsure of his abilities that he is among the game's best players. In addition to being the best faceoff man in the world, his two-way play was impressive enough to make the Pro Hockey Writers Association realize that he was overdue for the Selke Trophy, which he was given the next season.
Bergeron will never be one the two or three biggest names in the league because though he plays the sport as well as anyone else, his two-way prowess isn't as sexy as putting up a ton of goals or points, a la a Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin or Steven Stamkos.
Still, Julien says, there's no confusion among big-name players that Bergeron is one of the best in the game today.
"He's not Crosby and he's not those kind of guys in people's minds, but when the puck is dropped — and you can even ask Sid — Sid loves playing with him," Julien said. "They played together in World and Junior championships. They've been linemates and he just loves playing with him. He's got a great appreciation for Bergy."
|Claude Julien says Team Canada has strong goaltending with Roberto Luongo, Carey Price
|02.07.14 at 4:38 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Claude Julien doesn't like to talk too much about other teams' players, so in a session with the media Friday that centered largely around the Olympics, the Team Canada Associate Coach was rather tight-lipped when asked to assess Tuukka Rask's chances with Team Finland.
"You're asking me a question that has nothing to do with Team Canada, so I don't comment on other teams," Julien said with a smirk. "I'm happy that Finland has chosen Tuukka. He's had a good year."
Finland is considered to be stacked at the goaltender position, as it features Rask, Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen. Team Canada is considered to be loaded, though its perceived weakness — if it has one — is in net, where it has Roberto Luongo, Carey Price and Mike Smith. Price and Luongo both have a 2.36 goals-against average as of Friday, good for 14th and 16th in the NHL, respectively, while Smith is 37th in the league with a 2.85 clip.
"We're fine. We're fine," Julien said. "I mean, we've got a goaltender in Luongo that won a gold medal. You've got a goaltender in Price that, to me, has probably been one of the steadiest goaltenders this year, has done a great job for Montreal, and then Smith has had a good year.
"Where people may be questioning that, I'm not. Right now, it's just a matter of going out and showing that we have the right goaltending threesome to again compete for that gold."
This marks the second time this week that Luongo has been defended by a member of the Bruins, as Milan Lucic went out of his way to speak to the character of the embattled Canucks netminder on Monday.
"I think too many people point the finger too much on Luongo," Lucic said. "I think he's a great goaltender, and I mean, he was still able to get [the Canucks] one win away from the ultimate goal. I think it shows the type of person that he is going through what he went through with how he was treated over there by everyone, and he still managed to keep his game at a high level, and he's back on the Olympic team. He's still one of the best goaltenders in the league, so as far as that goes, it shows a lot about his character and I wish him all the best in Sochi."
On the subject of Steven Stamkos, who undoubtedly has a big fan in Julien (the Bruins coach visited Stamkos in the hospital after the young superstar broke his tibia in Boston in November), Julien said he felt bad that the Lightning center wouldn't be headed to Sochi, but feels Martin St. Louis is a more than serviceable replacement.
"It is disappointing, because he's one of the elite players," Julien said. "I think everybody knows he was a shoo-in right from the get-go, but at the same time we keep talking about our depth and how Canada has enough players to make two teams. Well, we went and got another player that, in my mind, deserved to be on our team right from the start.
"When I say that, [I mean] we have to limit ourselves to a certain number, but there's no doubt that he's good enough to play — we're talking about Marty St. Louis here — and there's others on that list that could easily step into our lineup. You live with the situation, and I think if anything, they're very smart at making the decision that's for the well-being of Steven Stamkos. It's unfortunate for us, but in the long run for the athlete and for the people that want to watch the guy play and be part of the NHL, it was the right decision, I guess."
|Tuukka Rask on Claude Julien ExplanationGate: 'He's the boss'
|01.31.14 at 1:26 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Claude Julien was all hot and bothered Thursday night when pressed for a reason as to why he pulled Tuukka Rask in the second period of the team's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens. Julien said he didn't have to explain himself and that some of the moves he makes are for the team to understand and not anyone else.
Rask obviously wasn't happy with being pulled after the game, but he agreed Friday that Julien doesn't need to explain his decisions to anyone — even him.
"No," Rask said. "He's the boss and he makes decisions based on what he sees on the ice. He doesn't have to tell anybody anything. I battle out there as long as I need to. [Yesterday] didn't last too long, and it's too bad."
As for whether he would like his coach to discuss his play and why he'd been pulled, Rask replied, "Doesn't matter to me."
Rask, who still leads the NHL with five shutouts and is fifth in the league with a .928 save percentage, has been pulled four times since Dec. 14. Thursday's was the most controversial given that only one of the goals he allowed was particularly bad and Julien's postgame comments.
'Don't think I have to explain myself [for] why I pull a goalie, OK? Because this isn't going to be one of those things where we make a big story out of a pulled goalie," Julien said. "Our team was poor tonight, 'K? So maybe sometimes you pull a goalie for different reasons, and I don't think I have to explain everything to you guys for the reasons, because there's a lot of decisions that I make that are for inside that dressing room, not necessarily for everyone to share.'

|Claude Julien in no mood to explain why he pulled Tuukka Rask
|01.30.14 at 10:57 pm ET
Tuukka Rask didn't seem happy about being pulled Thursday, and Claude Julien was in no mood to explain why.
After Brian Gionta scored on the power play to make it 3-1 in the second period of Montreal's win Thursday, Julien pulled Rask for the fourth time since Dec. 14. Rask was visibly upset as he left the ice, and after the game said that he felt "OK" in the game.
"I play as long as they tell me to play," Rask said, "so I try to battle out there are hard as I can, I stay out there as long as I possibly can and today it lasted a little over one period. It's too bad."
The Habs' second goal came on a breakaway off a turnover from Daniel Paille, while the first goal was a shot from the point that went through a lot of traffic. Though Gionta's goal in which he tipped in a Tomas Plekanec shot was a bad goal to give up, it was still somewhat surprising to see Rask yanked given the circumstances of the goals he allowed.
"It's a lot of everything," Julien said after the game when asked why he pulled Rask. "That's decisions that I make and I don't feel I have to explain [them] every time."
Later in Julien's press conference, he was asked what "a lot of everything" includes.
"[It] includes what I want it to," Julien said. "Don't think I have to explain myself [for] why I pull a goalie, OK? Because this isn't going to be one of those things where we make a big story out of a pulled goalie. Our team was poor tonight, 'K? So maybe sometimes you pull a goalie for different reasons, and I don't think I have to explain everything to you guys for the reasons, because there's a lot of decisions that I make that are for inside that dressing room, not necessarily for everyone to share."
The loss Thursday night dropped Rask to 2-10-2 in his career against the Canadiens. For a guy who has dominated most other teams, those numbers are alarming. It may be a little early in his career to bring up the Pedro Martinez-Yankees comparison, but the Canadiens have been Rask's kryptonite.
"I don't know," Rask said of why he's put up poor numbers against Montreal. "I mean, I haven't played too many bad games against them; I just can't get the wins. I mean, it sucks, but what can you do? Just hopefully by the end of my career, they're better."

|Bruins playing it safe with families given threat of danger at Olympics
|01.23.14 at 11:41 pm ET
With suicide bombings striking Russia and the threat of more — three potential suicide bombers are rumored to be on the loose — leading up to the Olympics, Bruins representatives are unsure of whether they want their families there.
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who will be Slovakia's captain and flag bearer, has plans for his father, a former Olympic wrestler and coach, to go. However, he told WEEI.com Thursday that his family is still taking things (one of which is safety) into consideration.
"Not sure," Chara said. "We're planning. Everything is set up for him to come, but we have to still wait for a few things [and see] how it goes."
David Krejci, who will represent the Czech Republic, does not want his mother to go, though she intends to see her son play.
'I told my family not to go, but my mom wants to go so I can't stop her," Krejci said. "I would prefer if she didn't go. I understand everybody who doesn't want their families to go. It's a scary situation. I'm sure the Russian president is going to take care of everything and he'll make the Olympic Games safe, but we'll see what happens."
Added Krejci: 'I've been reading papers and watching TV, so I know there's been a lot of talk about it. I know [the United States] have sent lots of military people over there, so it's going to be interesting. You kind of don't know what you're getting into but I'm sure they're going to do everything they can to make it safe.'
Claude Julien, who is on Canada's coaching staff, faces a similar situation with his wife, who wants to go, while Julien would rather his family be safe.
"That's still a debate right now. Not my family. If anything, it will be my wife, but that's still under debate right now," Julien said. "There is concern, like anybody else, but there's concern like that everywhere else. I think it's been exposed more because of what it represents, but it's a decision we'll make later."

Analysts polled by Reuters forecast an average first-quarter net profit of 641.25 million dirhams.
Impairment allowances for the first quarter totalled 287 million dirhams, down 28 percent from 399 million dirhams in the prior year period, the statement said.
On the other hand, net interest and Islamic finance income rose to 1.19 billion dirhams from 926 million a year ago.
Deposits were up 4 percent in the first quarter totalling 114.5 billion dirhams but loans growth was nearly flat at 130.46 billion dirhams compared to end of December 2011. ADCB's total assets fell slightly to 182.91 billion dirhams in first quarter from 183.72 billion dirhams as of end December 2011.
In late March, ADCB agreed to provide a $500 million loan to Abu Dhabi investment fund Mubadala in exchange for a 14 percent stake in indebted developer Aldar Properties
The lender sold its stake in Malaysia's RHB Capital last year to Abu Dhabi fund Aabar Investments for $1.91 billion.

Colocasia with spots, variegated
Couldn't resist buying one of these bulbs and it is sprouting polka-dot leaves. Cool! The plain green ones are perennial here. I'm wondering if there's any reason not to expect this variegated one to be OK in the ground for winter?
This elephant ear is coming up and it does have spotted leaves. Love it!!! Probably a little too close to the plain one... will see how many leaves come out...
Well this discussion has some kind of gremlin. I've responded twice and it keeps disappearing. Don't know why the last photo quit working.
Thanks for the compliment on the PS - my fav purple plant! Hilo sounds familiar but I couldn't say if that's because I read it on the tag or have read it on WWW sometime before. Loving these spots on this elephant ear!
Thanks, tropic! This bulb was (is) as big as a softball and the leaves are BIG. Google didn't have any images of C. bicolor that looked the same to me. Couldn't find any showing the stems clearly to compare that, they're very dark colored on this plant.
Alocasia "Hilo beauty" is the most likely suggestion I think.
That's the top of a 5-gallon bucket under this leaf.
Some nurseries still sell it under the name Alocasia "Hilo beauty". But it's a Caladium and not an Alocasia. So you can buy an Alocasia "Hilo beauty", but correctly what you have is a Caladium. Many nurseries aren't particularly concerned with names, they just want to sell the plant. As in many parts of the world, we still have Zamia vasquezii sold as Zamia fischeri. Also Philodendron bipinnatifidum sold as P. selloum. Even though the errors are commonly known, many wholesalers/nurseries won't correct the labels.
Thanks! Hmm... Do you mean it has been renamed? This plant is 4x as big (height, leaf size) as any Caladium I've seen. If it doesn't like as much moisture as Colocasia, maybe I should move it. It seems happy though.
Just incorrectly named. If you google it, you'll find, scattered in amongst the sites still using the incorrect name, others giving the explanation about the correct ID. There's some interesting reading from people who get quite pedantic about correct names.
Thought this thread looked familiar. I must have missed your last question Purple. This plant wasn't "renamed" as it hadn't been scientifically named. As I recall, the bloke who found the plant was working for a nursery (a plant "hunter") and found it in South America. He apparently wasn't too cluey, not knowing Alocasia (or Colocasia) don't come from South America. So he sent it back to the nursery as an Alocasia. They propagated it and for marketing purposes added a Hawaiian tag to it. When the taxonomists got to it they described and named it as a Caladium. Some nurseries realised it didn't look like an Alocasia but still erroneously tagged it as a Colocasia.
We have an Epipremnum (native) here which had been Raphidophora. When I suggested to a taxonomist it had been renamed he was quite definite is was the correction of an error by the original taxonomist, the plant should never have been described as a Raphidophora. Apparently that's only when key characteristics of a genus become more refined or changed so that some plants then fall outside the new parameters and they're renamed. They (taxonomists) can be quite pedantic.
Hey, thanks for the explanation! That's fairly different than a "regular renaming." I might be struck by the mood to say more about that later, not feelin' it right now, and not enough time.
Just hope it comes back up...! The other Caladiums have so far, since I put them in a few years ago. Hard to say about this big one yet, with all of the Oxalis in that area, and no sign of any Caladiums yet. Knowing it's not a Colocasia is soothing, which definitely should/would be visible by now.

Gia Marie Playboy Playmate November 2014
October 18, 2014 | Gia Marie, Playboy Playmates | 4 Comments
Gia Marie is the Playboy Playmate for November 2014, and she's good as gold in this set from photographer Josh Ryan. With her red hair, green eyes and a warm, burnished tan, Gia recalls the fine, feline Playmates of the 1970's, so we decided to treat her to a chic pictorial set in the legendary Sheats-Goldstein residence. For all you film buffs, it's quite a pad she's got there – and yes, it's the house from The Big Lebowski. "I never wanted to leave," says Gia. "That house is so iconic, and I felt so hot and sexy there." Gia is no stranger to 60's and 70's nostalgia – "I've watched Boogie Nights about fifty times," she admits – and all spread out on a shag wool rug, we think she fits in very, very nicely. Lautner may have designed the house – in fact, he created the lighting and furniture, too – but Gia is an original design, and one hundred percent her own woman.

Nearly 50 years later, the "Ice Bowl" still looks cold.
The 1967 NFL Championship Game was a hot topic of conversation ahead of the NFL wild-card matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers during the first weekend of 2014 because the forecast called for subzero conditions at Lambeau Field. In order to freeze itself into the record books as the coldest game in NFL history, the temperature for the 49ers-Packers game would have needed to drop below -13 degrees with a wind chill colder than -48 degrees. According to NFL.com, those were the conditions when the Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 31, 1967 in a thrilling game that would go down in history for both its breathtaking conclusion and its breath-freezing atmosphere. With a game-time temperature at Lambeau Field of 5 degrees with a wind chill of -10 on Sunday afternoon, this 2014 playoff tilt quite measure up -- or down.
CLICK HERE to see the 10 coldest games in NFL history
Here are a dozen images from that unforgettable day in Wisconsin on the final day of 1967 when a late touchdown plunge by Packers quarterback Bart Starr gave the home team a 21-17 win in the final minute. Despite the unprecedented cold, the majority of the fans seemed to have remained in the stands until the incredible finish. Perhaps because of that unprecedented cold, many of those fans rushed the field to celebrate the victory.
Green Bay Packers fans pack the football field to celebrate the Packers' 21-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys to capture their third consecutive NFL championship in Green Bay, Wis., Dec. 31, 1967.

Comparisons to the legendary 1967 Ice Bowl are inevitable when the mercury dips below zero at Lambeau Field. But even if temperatures sink to minus 13 Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, at the 49ers-Packers playoff game, modern technology will ensure fans are warmer than their predecessors.

Probably the single best tip I ever read for maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to set a goal for 10,000 steps a day.
It's a well-defined goal. You know exactly what the expectation is. It is easily measured. Get yourself a pedometer, and you're on your way. If you want, set up a spreadsheet and track your progress.
I've had a good run (no pun intended) with walking this past week. Work was especially busy, keeping me running most of the day. My husband and I did some geocaching, which included of itself, over five miles of walking. 10,000 steps has been no problem.
Look at your own string of successes. You have what it takes to move forward toward your goals. Embrace your victories. Build on your successes. Your momentum will propel you forward.

Dodgers Stadium to Host Los Angeles Kings in Outdoor Hockey Game
TORONTO – Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium is getting its own outdoor NHL game.
The Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings will host the Anaheim Ducks in a regular-season game at Dodger Stadium on Jan. 25, the pro league said Monday.
The outdoor hockey game in the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the first played in the Western U.S. market and a first for California.
PHOTOS: The Best (and Worst) Hockey Movies
"Dodger Stadium has been home to many unique and special moments over the past 51 years," said Dodgers president Stan Kasten in a statement.
"We'll add another first in 2014 when the Dodger Stadium infield turns to ice as we host our first National Hockey League game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks," he added of the long-standing rivalry between the Southern California NHL teams.
The infield at Dodger Stadium will be turned to ice for the outdoor hockey game, with Kings fans getting a view of Chavez Ravine overlooking downtown Los Angeles and the San Gabriel mountains during the NHL action.
The Kings ironically were part of the NHL's first foray outdoors when they played in an exhibition game against the New York Rangers in the parking lot of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sept. 27, 1991.
Playing in 85-degree weather, the Kings defeated the Rangers 5-2 during that historic game.

Hi, I just purchased a OB-EF700IR100L2812D-W to add to my system and I am having some trouble configuring the settings in order to get a good picture. I set uit up yesterday and it looked somewhat OK. Last night in the dark it was amazing, today I have tried to adjust it to get a better picture and I have not been able to get it to look as good as the $89 cameras I bought 2 years ago when I bought the system. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have reset to the defaults and started over. I just cant get the best combination of color / contrast / sharpness. Are there any tips or suggested settings for the camera for outside use? The camera is aimed at my driveway towards 2 silver cars and the sun is relatively bright. I have tried the lens in manual, shutter in auto or manual, adjusted the brightness, adjusted the contrast and sharpness, changed white balance...changed NR....you name it.

It sounds like we definitely need to make some changes to the settings. You should not have to do much with the sharpness or contrast. I normally set everything to auto or on. Also make sure you have the WDR turned on during the day if you are in the sunlight. I recommend you call us and let us help you with the configuration.
Can you provide me a snapshot of the camera during the day? Without seeing what your seeing it is a little difficult to say what to adjust. Also just an FYI those cameras come with a small clear plastic cover over the lens. It is real easy to not see it and leave it on during install. That will leave a little bit of a distorted image regardless of how much you adjust the focus.

Canada has only had two political parties who have governed the country's affairs and destiny
—the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. Just as in the United States, the two-party approach has served our democracy well. Unlike the U.S., however, our parliamentary system leaves more room for the establishment and the sustaining presence of a third party. In Canada, third parties have come and gone, but one has had a persistent role over a number of decades and it is the New Democratic Party (NDP).
The New Democratic Party, created in 1961, was formed from the fusion of the Christian left Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) party and the Canadian Labor Congress. By so doing, the new party attempted to enlarge its share of the electorate and appeal to a wider range of progressive views from the political left. Often referred to by its Liberal and Conservative opponents as socialists, the NDP resembles more the social democratic left associated with Britain's Labour Party and other European countries. Its leaders, generally moderate in tone and policy, have come across as sensible and principled types. While the NDP has never governed nationally, it has been a key player in some of our provinces.
For the first time in its history, the NDP is no longer the third party in Canada's House of Commons. It is now the official opposition party, and its leader Tom Mulcair could very well become Canada's next prime minister.
The formerly dominant Liberal Party is embarking on a leadership contest with the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau, being touted as the next leader. But a closer look is being directed at Mulcair and the kind of prime minister he could become. Mulcair, a former provincial Liberal minister and deputy leader of the federal NDP, won his party's leadership race over many long standing and more conventional NDP standard bearers. For some party regulars and stalwarts like former leader Ed Broadbent, it was near heresy to select a recent convert to the NDP.
Mulcair replaced his beloved predecessor Jack Layton, who led the NDP to its official opposition party status, but sadly passed away a few months later. Layton, who actually recruited Mulcair, transformed his party long accustomed to being the "conscience of Parliament" into one that could actually lead Parliament. Québec, which had elected only two NDP candidates (including Mulcair) in its history, now elected 58 NDP members to propel the party into second place and become the alternative government. Choosing Mulcair was seen as a continuation of Layton's work and making the party into one with potential mass appeal to progressives across the country.
The next Canadian federal election is due in 2015. This is plenty of time for the Liberals to regroup around Justin Trudeau and engineer a comeback. However, since Mulcair has become leader of the official opposition, he has placed the governing Conservatives on the defensive through the daily question period and has surpassed the Conservatives in some polls since becoming leader.
I have known Tom Mulcair over 25 years. If there is one individual who can make the NDP a permanent mainstream party in Canada, it is likely someone like him. Not dogmatic, but principled, methodical, and determined, Mulcair can present both a compassionate left and a realistic one
—that is, one that can govern, balance budgets, set priorities, and bring in focused reforms. In so doing, Mulcair and the NDP could very well be on the path to making history.

How to entertain clients and prospects profitably, without regret
For potential business contacts, start the relationship with an established, predictable, yet special, entertaining routine, she says. Find a restaurant you like, at a price point you're comfortable with, and use it as a go-to spot.
Or, try something zany.
Hunt Big Sales once had a client who sent remote-control helicopters to sales targets, with a note that required the potential lead to respond to one sales call in order to receive the remote to operate the device.
"It caught people's attention, and they were able to double the response rate," Moore says.
For any entertainment, scale appropriately. Lavish expenditures (except in cases where you're rewarding a vendor or distributor for sales performance) might make a potential client question your credibility in offering financial guidance.
"Spending thousands of dollars is not necessary, and clients are looking at that and wondering why they'd take your advice if you're not being fiscally prudent with your own funds," Moore says.
Tailoring a venue or restaurant to the rank of person you're entertaining or the size of the potential business for your company is a good strategy for managing the return on investment of an entertainment expenditure, Hairston says. A CEO of a major corporation might respond best to a fine-dining experience. A mid-level account executive might be equally satisfied with a beer while watching a sports game.
"When I take them out, I want to create an equal posture," Hairston says. "I never want to come off as superior to a client, because that doesn't build rapport. And I don't want to be inferior because they're not going to buy anything from me if they see my product as inferior."

The trans-Asia Silk Road is the stuff of travel legend – whether you plan to follow a small segment or journey all the way from Istanbul to Beijing. Start planning...
The Silk Road is the greatest travel route of all time. Spanning roughly 8,000km from Istanbul to Beijing, the Silk Road isn't even one distinct highway, but rather a network of spidering tributaries once used by ancient traders to get their goods to and from the Orient, tying the Mediterranean to the Pacific.
Those tributaries take in some of the most fascinating sites of Asia – leaving Turkey to pass through, among others, Syria, Iran, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and China. Other Silk Road stalwarts – Iraq and Afghanistan – are sadly off-limits for now.
In the 13th century the Silk Road's most famous follower, Marco Polo, became the world's first professional traveller. To follow the route set out in his book, The Travels, will take the modern-day explorer some considerable time and planning – but what an adventure!
Planning is indeed key. Crossing this much ground, and this many countries, you will need to have all of your documents in order, which means negotiating a mountain of red tape: practically all of the Silk Road countries require you to have visas, with varying restrictions imposed.
Then there's your mode of transportation: if you chose to take your own vehicle, that's more red tape to sort out; buses will be flexible but limiting and time consuming; trains possible for most of the way, but incredibly slow. Some hardy souls chose to cycle – time and comfy shorts essential.
And which route to chose? You could do a small chunk (say Bukhara in Uzbekistan to Kashgar, China) in a couple of weeks for an atmospheric taster; spend three months plotting a course from Istanbul to Xi'an; or take six months for a full-on Istanbul-Beijing jaunt, allowing plenty of time for trekking and riding detours en route.
The Silk Road can be a massive undertaking or a great focus for a fortnight's trip to a smaller slice of Asia. Get out the map and start scheming…

Civil Disobedeience.
(photo credit:Nechama Rosenstein)
After the article by Melanie Lidman in The Jerusalem Post on April 30, stating
that the Interior Ministry was accusing me of illegally constructing Palestinian
homes demolished by the municipality, I wrote an op-ed that appeared on May 8.
In it, I explained the motives underlying my behavior, and argued that it was a
case of legitimate civil disobedience – required of any person with a
conscience, when the state is conducting clearly immoral acts.Several
citizens, following my article, asked how could I sit on the city council and
call for civil disobedience? How could a public figure call for breaking the
law? And so on, in variations on the proverb of the "man spitting into the well
from which he drinks" – with a stronger focus on the pitcher (myself) than what
it contains.The issue arising from the criticism concerns a major
question in public policy – the relationship between "the law" and "ethics." And
I am sure that anyone who disliked my position is going to get angry again: I
don't sanctify either "the law," or "the state."The state is not a value
in itself, but no more (or less!) than an organizational framework for managing
society, and the law is a set of rules planned to regulate relationships. The
two of them – the state and the law – are "necessary evils," logical and
reasonable as long as there is an ideological alliance between the state, its
laws and its citizens.But that is not the case for me, or for many
others. Over the years, the state has moved away from a humanistic worldview
(some say it never had one). And now, when the nationalists are ruling, and have
discarded all traces of morality, our commitment to the ruling norms has shrunk
to the bare minimum – and not always that.Let me choose between
violating the law or helping in lawful ways, and I would unhesitatingly choose
the latter. But when all lawful roads are blocked, and gatekeepers prevent me
from doing my job lawfully, I will not act like the hero of Kafka's "Before the
Law" and wait until they let me in.I will skirt around the law to help
the people for whom I was elected. We are not original – the Orthodox have
always said and done the same, and so have the settlers after Gush Katif's
evacuation. Now it is our turn to say: this is not our way, we do not subscribe
to the injustices being performed here, the ways of the state are not ours, its
values are not ours, and its acts in the territories are not in our
name.So I aim to undermine the occupation from within. For people with a
conscience, it is more than a right – it is a duty.We did not invent the
method – Feiglin uses it in the Likud, and the religious Right runs pre-army
programs to take control of the army from within. I would also like to place our
youngsters in strategic positions, to change from within.Anyway, I
dispatched myself to the political front, without concealing my aims. Before I
was elected, I said publicly that I take issue with a law allowing the
demolition of homes of innocent families who built without permits because they
had no choice. Abiding by the law is desirable, but not a supreme
value.We're not talking about how legal a government action is, but how
moral it is. In fact I never understood my friends who strongly disagree with
outposts built on private land, as if they were less grave than those built on
"state land." They fell into the trap of the settlers – who distinguish between
"illegal outposts" and settlements built with government approval, as if that
makes them legitimate.The law doesn't legitimize acts of theft, or
patently immoral actions. No law will stipulate for me what can and can not be
done, but only standards of conscience that discriminate between good and evil –
not between legal and illegal.So it is strange when people ask why I'm
ready to break the law for the sake of the public I represent – because that's
supposed to be the default situation of any public representative.And
now a little tip – beware of politicians over-attached to the language of the
law: behind "those guardians of the rule of law," hide little politicians
unwilling to work hard for the public.Politicians whose voters aren't
important enough to them use the law as a fig leaf.City hall has lots of
politicians who do the bare minimum. We are all familiar with draconian laws
that deserve to be broken, but remain in force since we have a surplus of
politicians who stick close to the law, but fewer genuine politicians.To
state the obvious: bad laws shouldn't be complied with! And a law that permits
the demolition of homes is not only a bad law, it's a harmful law, a blot on
Israeli society. I will work against this and violate this without hesitation,
until someone wakes up.It is amusing that criticism leveled against me
comes from groups specializing in lawbreaking.Supporters of Beit
Yehonatan, Migron and Givat Ha'Ulpana should be the last to criticize me – or
maybe the first to understand my position.Indeed, there's an apparent
similarity between my position and those who freely violate court orders and
build settlements on private land. But it's only an external
similarity.Though we're both willing to break the law, when it comes to
purpose there's a major difference between us.They do it to redeem the
land, while I'm working to promote peace. Purpose makes a difference and there's
a huge gap between the two goals – one stems from the religious/nationalistic
sphere, the other originates in the moral/human sphere.That creates two
essentially different, even conflicting actions. "In that case, you can justify
the hilltop youths," critics say, and at the intellectual level I understand
their efforts, but can never justify actions that I believe undermines
peace.A well-known broadcaster on a right-wing radio station
called me a hypocrite when I said I didn't justify the hilltop youths. He
thinks that the youths and I operate the same way, but doesn't grasp that
there's no correlation between the two actions.It's
the purpose that makes the difference – not the external act of
violating one law or another.Indeed, I know that selectively respecting
the law will cause chaos. It's impossible to run a state when each citizen
chooses which clause of the law to honor, and which not to. That's what I am
working towards.Chaos would shatter the state – and afterwards it may be
possible to rebuild it. What we have today cannot be repaired.We aspire
to dismantle the state, with the hope that something new and far better will
result from it. Too bad about the spilled blood and the shattered dreams, but we
will emerge stronger.In parentheses – I'm no megalomaniac; I realize I
can't end the occupation but, as our rabbis said: "You are not obligated to
finish the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."The writer is a
member of the Jerusalem city council.

Low Rider. With the DeWalt Contractor Adjustable Aluminum Rack, you can get your hauling done and then drop the top for a sportier look. The unit's uprights — which lock in five height positions — are held cantilevered inboard of the bed rails, so they lower into the bed and drop the crossbars below cab height, making it easier to secure some items in the bed. The crossbars have integral slots for rack accessories and can support up to 450 pounds. The rack costs $599. DeWalt, 800/433-9258. www.dewalt.com
