Alberta Premier Alison Redford, in Washington to lobby leaders on the merits of TransCanada's Keystone XL Pipeline, says she believes it is becoming more likely that the energy project will be approved by the U.S. government.
"The discussions we have been able to have with people leads me to believe they are fully seized on these issues and that it is going very well," Redford said during a short teleconference call Tuesday evening with reporters.
Earlier Tuesday, Redford met with Senate and Congressional leaders as well as an undersecretary from the Environmental Protection Agency and the White House's Council on Environmental Quality. She is accompanied on the trip by Alberta MLA Cal Dallas, Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations.
"We think is it important that we work together to move this project forward" and to work within the environmental parameters established by U.S. authorities, Redford said.
The premier's agenda included meetings with Democratic senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, both proponents of the controversial project. She also met with Gary Doer, Canada's Ambassador to the United States.
This is the fifth trip the premier has taken to Washington in two years to tout Alberta's environmental record and convince American legislators to approve the project.
The final phase calls for construction of an 1,897-kilometre pipeline that would transport synthetic crude from the oilsands to a terminal in Steele City, Neb., and then on to refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The capacity would have a capacity of 830,000 barrels per day.

Need ideas for fireplace mantle design
Hi, I am building a chalet in Northern Wisconny and I am getting close to having to decide what I want to do with the fireplace. Right now the whole chase is outside, so the inside is framed flat with the walls on either side, I was going to build out the fireplace chase on the inside all the way to the ceiling and use lick and stick cultured stone, but I have already mounted two recessed lights for illumination above the fireplace and I do not want to have to move them. I am looking for pics of rustic looking fireplaces that are built out on the lower part, then from above the mantle it would be even with the surrounding walls. Any Ideas. The cathederal wall peaks at 22 feet.
I will be visiting a fireplace "store" soon also.
Some of the fireplace manufacturer web sites have photo galleries -- you might try them. Here's a link to Fireplace Xtrordinair's. HearthNet.com also has one. Good luck!

This photo was taken at my first concert of a great and well-known band, called Nightwish, where I was allowed to take some pictures with a professional camera. I really loved the concert which took place at the Greenfield Festival in Interlaken (Switzerland) in 2009. It was a beautiful summer evening when Nightwish entered the stage and started playing some of their greatest tracks they have written.

Evil explains why he's better than God.
Card draw; the deck needs card draw. Outside of cantrips, though, white has little beyond Mentor of the Meek, and he won't help much in your build (a hoot with tokens, though).
Skullclamp is ideal with tokens, but also serves as a bit of payback should someone try to kill a guy wearing it. There is a reason why it finds itself banned and restricted in some locales, formally and otherwise.
Sword of Fire and Ice is one of the top pieces of equipment, which is why it is a $30 card in most places, presuming you can find one; happily, it is returning in Modern Masters, albeit at mythic rarity. Infiltration Lens works, but is best on creatures that opponents want to block.

You said that it is better mid-late game, but I'd rather not get there as this is more aggro based. Personally I prefer the Porcelain Legionnaire because if the extra power.

One card I'd add, that I'm suprised nobody mentioned yet is Field Marshal. I'd replace the Honor of the Pure with him as he's easier to get rid of if the mentor gets "turned off"
Well even if you don't replace the pure with it I still think it's worth adding, the first strike can be more useful than its +1/+1.
About the Precinct Captain vs. Porcelain Legionnaire, Porcelain Legionnaire is all colorless, making it possible to cast it for nothing with 2 Daru Warchiefs. Precinct Captain is all white and would not be affected by Daru Warchief's mana cost ability.

A few years ago for Christmas, Mrs. Flog bought for me via eBay a collection of a half-dozen Christmas cards created and sent by Gasoline Alley creator Frank King to a longtime friend between 1952-1961. Yes, I have the greatest wife ever. Anyway, I thought I would share them, because King really went all out on his cards. Here's the earliest that I have, from 1952, it's an amazing little 5" x 7" self-published, three-page gem.
More to come...
Just received today: the breathtaking wraparound cover, designed by Chris Ware, for the final volume in our Krazy & Ignatz series (that is, until we start re-printing the early Eclipse volumes -- more info on that in this previous Flog post). The book is due later this year. Click the image for a closer look.
The Northwest Film Forum, Seattle's non-profit cinematheque with two screens located on Capitol Hill, along with a little help from their friends at Fantagraphics Books, is presenting a trio of film adaptations of classic comic strips. These family-friendly versions of DICK TRACY, ANNIE, and POPEYE are sure to win the hearts of new young viewers. These films will be a treat for parents too; they revisit the peculiar results of the unlikely directoral assignments for John Houston, (ANNIE), Robert Altman (POPEYE) and Warren Beatty (DICK TRACY).
Also, all attendees of the series will receive a 20% off coupon to the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, where you can purchase collections of the original strips these films were based on!
POPEYE: MARCH 1 - 2, Saturday-Sunday at 1:30, 4pm
(Robert Altman, USA, 1980, 35mm, 113 min)
ANNIE: APRIL 5 - 6, Saturday-Sunday at 1:30, 4pm
SING-A-LONG WITH THE MOVIE SUNDAY AT 4PM! Sheet music will be given out!
(John Huston, USA, 1982, 35mm, 127 min)
DICK TRACY: MAY 3 - 4, Saturday and Sunday at 2, 4pm
(Warren Beatty, 1990, 35mm, 105 min)
All screenings will be held at:
Northwest Film Forum
Crumbling Paper is an online archive of scanned Sunday tearsheets from the Golden Age of American comic strips that I hadn't seen before. I haven't had a chance to peruse too carefully yet, but the archive listed here makes me want to.
I don't link to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive site nearly as often as I could -- they seem to post absolutely stunning historical work on a daily basis and I highly recommend adding the site to your RSS feed. Today they added some classic comics from Virgil "Vip" Partch's greatest collection of cartoons, The Wild, Wild Women. You can never go wrong with some VIP. Why hasn't anyone (okay, us) done a VIP coffee table book yet?!
If you like what you see at the ASIFA site, you might consider supporting it.
Our own Kristy Valenti has written a great profile of comic strip historian/archivist Bill Blackbeard (contributor to many of our classic strip reprint books, not the least of which is Krazy & Ignatz), part one of which can be read at the Comixology website.
Via Spurge come some record-breaking auction results: Charles Schulz's original art for the Sunday, April 10, 1955 Peanuts strip recently sold for $113,525, and Robert Crumb's original cover of Mr. Natural #1 sold in the same auction for $101,575, the first time either artist has cleared 6 figures.
For about 0.025% of its sale price, that same Schulz strip can be had, along with 730 others, in The Complete Peanuts 1955-1956. Just saying.

transplanting hens and chicks?
carolssis(9)March 27, 2012
My neighbor has a hens and chicks plant that is blooming. He has offered it to me, as the planter it's in is going to be removed. I want to dig it up but hesitate as it's bloomimg now. My question is, should I wait until the blooming has stopped or can I take it now? TIA
Pagancat(Phoenix, AZ)
My suggestion - and you'll probably hate it - would be to clip off the blooms and give it at least a few days rest. Transplant with as much of the roots and dirt as you can handle directly into it's new home if at all possible, keeping in mind that it will have a hard season in front of it soon.

Getting to the Galapagos Islands: Baltra Airport
Once you're in Ecuador, your flight to the Galapagos Islands will depart either from Quito (in the Andes) or Guayaquil (on the coast). In the Galapagos, there are two main airports: Baltra and San Cristobal.
Baltra Island is a small island north of Santa Cruz Island. The airport is small and very nice.
Services at Baltra Airport in the Galapagos
Does WiFi exist? I'm not sure. Services are pretty basic at the airport. You'll find ticketing, security and bathrooms. There are, of course, a full set of gift shops – in case you forgot to pickup something while on the other islands. We actually found some of the souvenirs at the airport to be of better quality and selection than in the towns. But for other services that you might expect at an airport, such as restaurants, currency exchange or back massages – you'll have to wait until you arrive back in Quito or Guayaquil for these things. Baltra Airport does a great job of getting you to and from the Islands – and that's all. Its good to remember that this is a national, not an international airport.
Once you land, you'll take a bus to the other side of the island and cross a small channel by boat. Once you cross to the other side, you'll be on Santa Cruz. If traveling with a tour operator, you will have transport waiting for you. If not, you can arrange a ride into Puerto Ayora with one of the truck taxis.
A Little Background on Baltra Island
Also known as South Seymour (after Lord Hugh Seymour, a senior 18th century British Royal Navy officer), Baltra Island is one of the few non-volcanic islands of the Galapagos archipelago. It was created by a unique phenomenon known as a geological uplift.
During World War II, Baltra Island served as a strategic base of the United States Army Air Force. After the war, the base and all the facilities were given to the Ecuadorian Government.
Today the airport serves as one of two entry points for 160,000 tourists every year.

Hi Bryan
I am trying to plan a trip to galapagos island and need some advice please. Cruise ship? or if not how do I plan it otherwise. Would love some info please.
ps. Have been to Canada Many times and have travelled around it extensively both in the summer and winter…stunning country and great people. Look forward to hearing from you soon
October 1, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Hi Lola,
Bryan has moved on to other projects. I am Red Mangrove's new travel blogger. Cruise ship is a popular option for seeing the Galapagos. Hotel and land-based tours are becoming more popular as well, but depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. You can check out this article for more information on the relative advantages/disadvantages.

Used York City
Let's talk about something totally applicable today (cause, Juno!): winter dates that get you out of the house but keep you out of the cold, too! I totally get how it's easy to be like, "date night? orrrr we could just stay in with pizza and netflix!" We're guilty, too! Especially during the winter, and especially during blizzards.
Today we're gonna talk about bringing date nights back with a bang! The hubs and I have been doing some hardcore date night research for you guys, bringing the very best ones to the blog! And don't forget, date nights aren't limited to your significant other…they can be just as fun with your roomie, mom, random girl from yoga class…you name it! Here's our very favorites that we tried this month:
"Trust me, I get funnier with every sip, " speaks actor/playwright Anthony Caporale in his entertaining show, The Imbible: A Spirited History of Drinking. And it's so true! (But this guy and his talented ensemble would be funny even sans cocktails, I promise!) The Imbible is an off-Broadway show playing in an authentic NYC speakeasy, which talks about the history of alcohol while serving the audience said beverages. Performed by a group of 4 insanely talented a cappella singers, these guys sing and dance about the 10,000 year journey of alcohol and the creation of the modern day cocktail. You'll have a whole new appreciation for the Old Fashioned after the night is over. We watched live demonstrations of brewing beer and distilling spirits, learned the difference between cocktails and mixed drinks, and got to interact in answering trivia questions! All while sipping cocktails which are included in the price of your ticket! These guys are so, so passionate, it's refreshing to see theater performed with such zeal, and to be a member of their audience.
Interactive theater? Yes please! Mrs. Mayfield's Fifth-Grade Class of '93 20-Year Reunion is like Sleep No More, only funny! And with witty dialogue! Part play, part party, and all a boat load of date night fun! A group of former 5th grade classmates, now all in their 30's, get together for an evening of reminiscing, complete with lots of alcohol and a handful of drugs. Turn the 90's music on, and you have the recipe for the best night, ever! As an audience member, you're also guests at the party (truth be told, it was sometimes hard to tell who was acting and who was an audience member, it all seemed so natural!) You wander the apartment (the address is given to you after your reservation is made), perusing the kitchen, office, and yes, bedroom, getting involved in whichever scenes you fancy. Upon entering, you get a name tag, red meaning "don't talk to me" and green meaning "yes, pull me into your lair of 5th grade drama!" The hubs and I went with red name tags, but that certainly didn't stop me from jumping into the Free Willy "Will You Be There" flash mob. You know, cause that was my 5th grade jam, too.
Oh! Alcohol can be purchased for $5 throughout the evening via the honor system, and vegan chili is available for free. Prepped by one of the actors himself;-)
Couples that play together stay together, right? While yoga may not be playing in the same context as, say, squash, it's still a great date activity! The hubs and I have been going to Sonic Yoga, which offers free community yoga and meditation classes, and also has a special of 2 months of unlimited yoga for $99 going on. Which is A LOT of dates, my friends.
When we do opt for the more traditional dinner dates, we've been making a point to try new restaurants rather than our old tried-and-true. There's no better way to discover restaurants packed with potential than visiting one of the city's food festivals, and tasting samples from the chef's menu yourself! Pair with entertainment, craft beer, wine, and liquor and you're shooing to have a delicious date! We're pretty pumped for 2015's Choice Eats, happening March 13th!
Ever dream of having your love life (or lack thereof!) turned into a hysterical skit?! Yeah, me either, but you can laugh your heart out as some other helpless New Yorker is interviewed on stage about their's…and then watch the "What I Did For Love" improv unfold! The Upright Citizen's Brigrade puts on a fine show, and you can't beat the $10 price point.
Used York City
You read the title right, folks. It's not an entree that costs $25, plus an additional $15 for unlimited drinks (which is what the trend seems to be at a lot of places around the city.) Our first publication of this article has become quickly outdated…read: restaurants have jacked up their brunch prices!
So we did some digging and came up with an updated list of places in NYC that offer all-inclusive boozy brunches for $20 and under. Keeping the weekends budget friendly, right? Bottoms up, friends!
1. Epstein's | Lower East Side
This cash only joint is currently offering one of the best budget friendly brunches in the city, with unlimited bloody Marys, mimosas or screwdrivers and your entree, all for $15.95.
2. L'asso | Nolita
This pizza joint offers a brunch entree and all-you-can-drink bloody Marys or Mimosas (1 hour limit) for just $20.
3. Three of Cups | East Village
An entree at this establishment comes with two drinks (most entrees go for $16.95), but $7 extra buys you unlimited bloody Marys and mimosas for two hours.
4. Harry's Italian Pizza Bar | Financial District
Ok, we realize we're stepping the bounds just a tiny bit by going over (sorry!), but we still think $20.95 is a pretty sweet deal. It will get you your entree with unlimited bloody Marys and mimosas for 2 hours.
5. Calle Ocho | Upper West Side
Entrees start at $18, and come with an unlimited sangria bar which we think is just the bee's knees!
6. Piper's Kilt | Inwood
On Sundays from 12-3, your Irish brunch comes with bottomless domestic beer on tap, mimosas, and bloody Marys for $19.95.

Used York City
New York is a massive place, and even if we make a point to go to a different venue every day for the rest of our lives, it's still doubtable that we'd hit them all. Within the five boroughs millions of people swarm around, each having their own favorite haunts to visit and places to enjoy, sometimes falling victim to routine. Even in a city like New York, being a creature of habit is something not easily broken, am I right?
While there's absolutely nothing wrong with going to the bar where everyone knows your name (because, cheers!), I urge you to get out and use your city, too! Today we're talking 5 unexpected places to shake up your going-out routine.
Wooden beamed and deliciously decorated in a manner more representative of the 1890's rather than 2014, Reynard is an eatery that's proving immensely popular with the newly bewhiskered natives of the restaurant's hood. This isn't just another factory renovation turned place to be seen, as Reynard produces a very high standard of food, which are modeled upon well known brasserie classics- that is at all times rich, moreish and strangely inexpensive compared to other haute offerings from the area.
2. Apollo Club | Harlem
The well known Apollo Club is one of Harlem's gems, and with the theatre celebrating it's 80th anniversary the club has forgone it's usual fancies for a short while, deciding instead to invoke the nightclub hilarity and excess of the 1920's! Hot-stepping dancers, a grand big band orchestra and Boardwalk Empire's Margot B are all featured!
3. Resorts World Casino | Queens
Casino in NYC?! Who knew! With online gaming on the rise worldwide in terms of fans and acceptability, lovers of gaming, when not enjoying winning on a few easy money slots at Europalace Casino, are whetting their appetite for physical gaming and heading to Queens. Slots, roulette, craps- this casino has it all!
4. Bar 54 | Midtown
Rooftop bars will never go out of style in the vertiginous land of Manhattan, and Bar 54 is the city's newest sky-high lounge, offering visitors views out over the city from the top of Hyatt Times Square. The bar features outdoor fireplaces, huge glass walls and cocktails with a local flair produced by the inimitable Julie Reiner.
5. Gotham West Market | Hell's Kitchen
Similar to the far more well known Chelsea Market, Gotham West Market at first sight doesn't appear to be just any usual food market, mainly due to the fact that there are only ever eight vendors serving up their dishes! Past vendors have included those offering pig's head Cuban sandwiches, tapas and savory rye noodles, though there's easily enough available to keep you occupied for a fair few hours.

Perhaps the biggest plus of being in an actual book club versus reading a book solo is the advantage of hearing multiple viewpoints. While this month's read of Panic in a Suitcase was a bit sluggish to get through for me (ok, let's just call a spade a spade: it was by far my least favorite read of our NYC book club, and the only thing that kept me picking it up day after day was knowing I was obliged to go to book club. So, there's that.), but, other ladies in the club really enjoyed it! They found humor in the dialogue, even! Thought it was an immigrant story of the modern ages that, in fact, needed to be told. So I implore you: don't judge the book by my humble opinion, pick it up for yourself and see if you're on Team Love It or Team Hate It…there won't be much in between, I promise you that;-)
A dazzling debut novel about a Russian immigrant family living in Brooklyn and their struggle to learn the new rules of the American Dream.
In this account of two decades in the life of an immigrant household, the fall of communism and the rise of globalization are artfully reflected in the experience of a single family. Ironies, subtle and glaring, are revealed: the Nasmertovs left Odessa for Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with a huge sense of finality, only to find that the divide between the old world and the new is not nearly as clear-cut as they thought. The dissolution of the Soviet Union makes returning just a matter of a plane ticket, and the Russian-owned shops in their adopted neighborhood stock even the most obscure comforts of home. Pursuing the American Dream once meant giving up everything, but does the dream still work if the past is always within reach?
If the Nasmertov parents can afford only to look forward, learning the rules of aspiration, the family's youngest, Frida, can only look back.
In striking, arresting prose loaded with fresh and inventive turns of phrase, Yelena Akhtiorskaya has written the first great novel of Brighton Beach: a searing portrait of hope and ambition, and a profound exploration of the power and limits of language itself, its ability to make connections across cultures and generations.
Discussion time!
1. A big theme in the book was that of "bringing the past with you." When Pasha arrived in Brooklyn all he saw was a mini Odessa recreated on the shores of this new land, and this depressed him more than anything else. Do you agree or disagree with Pasha's viewpoint?
I feel like this is a bit of a delicate topic here in NYC, no? I mean, on one hand, I'd say unless you were forced out of your country against your will to live abroad (different story, completely), then it was in fact your choice to come to NY to make a new life for yourself and your family. There's a quote by Beryl Markham that goes, "If you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved, and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can". While, yes, there is comfort in having familiar things around you as you had in your homeland (the same restaurants, the same food, speaking your native language), and these ethnic neighborhoods are what gives NYC its life pulse, I can also see Pasha's point. If you're constantly yearning for the homeland, will you ever find true happiness in the present? After all, nostalgia is nothing more than a mild case of depression, right?
2. The author chose not to use typical dialogue in her novel…no quotation marks to signify if the characters were speaking aloud or in their heads. How was this experience for you, the reader?
Honestly, this was the last thing that bothered me about this book. Her writing style was fine, but the fact that there was very little plot and her characters were exceptionally unlikable bothered me much more than her lack of quotation marks. I got the feeling that she was directing this debut novel to be a big hit with the NY Times critics (obviously well done, bravo on that front!), but wasn't thinking much about her average reader.
3. Why do you think the author chose to call the book Panic In A Suitcase?
This was one part of the novel I thought she got right. The characters were so disorganized and scattered that every time they were coming or going, whether in Brooklyn or Odessa or upstate weekend getaways, there was such chaos and pointless talking from all parties involved…migraine inducing! I would have gone running in the opposite direction as far as humanly possible. Which does pose the interesting question…since this is rumored to be a bit of a fictional tale based on real life, is that exactly what author Yelena Akhtiorskaya did? I sure hope so.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book below, and make sure to join us next month for our discussion on Grand Central: Original Stories of Postwar Love and Reunion, which we'll hold on the blog on Thursday, February 12th. Between now and then feel free to share your thoughts on Twitter with the hashtag #UYCBookclub!

At Close Range
Posted October 24, 2008
Tara Taylor Quinn provides an exhilarating tale.
Judge Hannah Montgomery presides over the murder trial of white supremacist Kenny Hill, a member of the Ivory Nation. However, she and her friends and family become victims of a rash of incidents including vandalism. She assumes allies of Hill probably belonging to Ivory nation, are trying to frighten her.

At the same Hannah worries about her safety and that of those close to her, the police investigate her friend Dr. Brian Hampton. Several babies under his care have recently died with the assumption being tragically SIDS. Although her adopted infant is one of the deceased, Hannah refuses to believe Brian is a murderer until shockingly a connection to Ivory Nation surfaces that makes her reconsider her opinion perhaps as previously being rose colored.

With strong believable twists enhancing a powerful thriller, romantic suspense fans will relish AT CLOSE RANGE. The story line is fast-paced from the opening courtroom scene and never slows down as increasingly the evidence condemns Brian and even Hannah, who believed in his innocence when everyone else was ready to lynch him, begins to judge him as a dangerous felon allied with the group threatening her life. Tara Taylor Quinn provides an exhilarating tale.

The story of Big Maggie Polpin and her attempts to keep her family together after the death of her husband is an enduring theatre favourite. The dialogue crackles with hilarious, caustic putdowns as the indomitable Maggie deals with her feckless family and unwanted suitors. Everyone wants a part of Big Maggie and her property, but she has other ideas. John B. Keane's wonderful creation of a rural Irish matriarch ranks with Juno, Mommo and Molly Bloom as one of the great female creations of twentieth-century Irish literature. 'A fullblooded, salty, earthy play with a great ring of truth and uproarious with comedy' - The Irish Times
John B. Keane, one of Ireland's most prolific and respected literary figures, was born in 1928 in Listowel, Co. Kerry, and it was there that he spent his literary career, running a pub which provided him with inspiration for his characters and stories. His first play, 'Sive', was presented by the Listowel Drama Group and won the All-Ireland Drama Festival in 1959. A writer of essays, short stories and letters, his humorous words live on in the 'Celebrated Letters of John B. Keane', "The Best of John B. Keane' and 'The Short Stories of John B. Keane'. John B. Keane died on 30 May 2002 but remains one of Mercier's best-loved and best-selling authors. Eilis Flanagan has ten years experience as a secondary teacher and now works in teacher training with NUI Galway and the University of Limerick. Originally from Arranmore Island, Co. Donegal, she now lives in Galway.
