WalMart to be Walkable
WalMart has submitted a parking plan to the City of Encinitas for its review. As blogged here, WalMart is planning on establishing a store in the El Camino Real smart growth walkable zone. It is rumored that Walmart is asking for a parking requirement waiver in anticipation of the adoption of a more healthy and friendly lifestyle associated with the cultural shift to walking and riding bicycles. The rumor can not be substantiated until the City releases the parking study.

WalMart is bad just about everywhere they go. Local governments subsidize them thinking they are a benefit to the community when they end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars each year from employees making so little they rely on taxpayer funded social services and emergency rooms. Being one of the largest corporate business enterprises on earth they usually get what they want from local city staff bumpkins. Promises of more tax dollars come at the expense of other businesses losing sales and eventually closing causing ripple effects of vacant retail space and entire shopping centers becoming ghost towns. Or 99 Cent Stores. WalMart is ChinaMart and will soon be getting their prescription drugs from China also.
Putting a WalMart in Encinitas will make us more like Oceanside, Escondido or Chula Vista.
Stop WalMart in Encinitas, they are not good neighbors.I have to agree with Huntington on all counts. WalMart will be good for consumers. I hate them as a store and will never shop there. However, I respect them as a company.
WalMart should not get parking waiver, but neither should they be outlawed as a company just because they do it better than everyone else.
If you think you are not buying from China because you are buying at Target, think again. I read labels and buy American when I can. Lately even my fish from SeaSide has been Chinese.WalMart sells guns that kill people.
WalMart makes billions every year and spends hundreds of millions on lobbyists to keep the politicians on their side.
WalMart is number 1 with employees on public assistance.(EBT, food stamps)
WalMart is number 1 with employees who have to use public funded health care.
California taxpayers pay $86 million annually for public programs such as health care and subsidized housing for low-wage WalMart workers.
Every WalMart is subsidised by its local community.
WalMart makes us more Third World with every new store.
I have never shopped at WalMart nor will I.
Boycott WalMart! Bad for everybody.People kill people. Guns protect those that can't protect themselves against someone who is physically stronger.
Without guns, a strong person could go in and devastate, rape, chop up and eat an entire family. Cooked or uncooked.
With Guns, granny can stop the murdering child rapist at the front door death as a door nail.
Its that simple. Appreciate your constitutional rights. Without them, we will live like Mexico.
My house is heavily armed. Is yours?Guns protect those that can't protect themselves against someone who is physically stronger.
Without guns, a strong person could go in and devastate, rape, chop up and eat an entire family. Cooked or uncooked.
WTF is wrong with you?
With Guns, granny can stop the murdering child rapist at the front door death as a door nail.
Or she could use pepper spray & a baseball bat and not worry about gun accidents.
.WalMart is so devoid of compassion they would sell euthanasia drugs to their own families if it meant making a buck.
Whether they were terminal or not.
People who shop WalMart are greedy misers only thinking of themselves and not their fellow man. Maybe they can take their savings with them.Rob-
WTF is wrong with you?
Granny is not going to stop someone at the door with pepper stray and a bat, that is unless its to laugh at her, before they slice her throat and make her watch them rape her entire family.
Sorry to hear your family is vulnerable. My house is safe. Don't tread on me.I am no fan of big business, but can't you people think beyond what you hear on NPR? For those that are willing to shop at Target and not Walmart, you might be surprised to know that employee compensation is essentially the same. Clearly, Walmart is bad for competing local businesses and good for the consumer (and taxpayers in the city). For those who say that they are not willing to shop at Walmart, have you ever shopped online? If so, my assumption is that you would rather have that Walmart greeter replaced by technology and on the unemployment rolls. How many employees per $ of sales do you think that Amazon has? Also, did you remit the sales tax due on your purchase to the State of California? Bottom line is that you can't stop globalism or consumer choice. I will still shop at Seaside Market and pay their ridiculous prices because I think that they have a superior product offering than Target or Walmart. It's all about consumer choice, folks.
ReplyDeleteI believe in the right to bear arms but Geez Anon, you have some sick and twisted thoughts. Are you saying anyone should be allowed to buy 30 round clips at Walmart too? I think gun laws should be looked at in the way people are allowed to buy and sell certain types of weapons. I do have a small caliber weapon, It has been locked up and I have never felt the need to unlock the box. My dogs to a fine job protecting my property. Walmart is bad for America!
ReplyDeleteLoser- Your right. I have thoughts about reality that sound sick. All you need to do is read the headlines to have similiar thoughts. Jeffery dommer, holocost implementers and human and animal "experients" done thoughtout human history. The endless supply of human murder and rape. All Pulp fiction copy cats out there....
The reality is really bad people exist and prey on innocent victims. Sure most humans are kind caring folks but don't forget about the rotten apples. Ask the King Family how they feel about evil people and if they would have wanted to protect their daughter. There is an endless list of similar events.
If a rotten apple ever comes to my house to do my family harm, that will be one less rotten apple for society to worry about.
Guns are good for America. If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns- just like Mexico. Walmart is bad for America.I shop at Seaside Market for produce, meats and deli because its worth it. But I also buy from Ralphs and the rest because these companies pay their employees a good wage with medical benefits and retirement. WalMart's top wages are the same as MacDonalds but with no medical.
These are all rumors about WalMart moving to the old Expo site, has anyone substantiated them being interested? I thought Expo was only allowed as they would not bring the traffic other businesses do.
WalMart employees without direct deposit now get gift cards that their pay is deposited automatically onto each payday. One free ATM transaction per pay period, the rest $2 or more. Lose the card, guess what, WalMart keeps the money. Sounds like script at the company mine to me.Do sick things happen. You decide.
Authorities: Body found in freezer at Maywood home
Authorities: Body found in freezer at Maywood home
Associated Press | Posted: Saturday, February 5, 2011 3:33 am
A suburban Los Angeles man is in custody after authorities say he told police he killed his mother and then led them to her remains.
Investigators say the man walked into a Huntington Park police station Friday and told authorities he murdered his mother and put her body in a freezer at their Maywood apartment. They say he then led them to the body.
City News Service reports the 20-year-old man was arrested. His name was not released.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Detective Kathy Gallagher with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Homicide Bureau says investigators have not confirmed that the body is the man's mother, but they've been led to believe so.
She says the investigation is ongoing."I hate them as a store and will never shop there. However, I respect them as a company."
That is one of the dumbest statements i have ever heard (sorry but it is)
i know a lot about walmart (and i don't listen to NPR)
nothing good can come from putting a walmart in encinitas
there are 4 walmarts on the 15 corridor between escondido and oceanside. if you really need to save $0.35 i suggest going to one of those.
support local businesses before we are all shopping at Dollar Tree (what will be left after walmart moves in)drwdwrd - I didn't think that concept was that difficult, but I would be happy to explain. I have shopped at WalMart and I hated the experience. The aisles were too narrow, the shelves were crammed and there seemed to be an inordinately large number of large, stupid and rude people shopping there. I would rather pay the 10 cents extra per item and shop at Target.
That said, my business is supply chain management and WalMart is better than anyone else in the world at that. Every time they make an improvement everyone says "wow, I wish we could do that." Much of the savings they are able to pass on to their customers are created through those efficiencies. So I greatly respect their business.
My comment stands. I hope that cleared it up a bit.For every 7 dollar a hour job WalMart creates (usually a career job that the employee has to use public assistance, food stamps, MediCal, housing) there are a corresponding 6 local jobs eliminated. Those jobs lost are by your friends and relatives who buy houses, cars and goods in your town. WalMart is bad everywhere they go.
ReplyDeleteArea Man - CA Minimum wage is $8/ hour, so WalMart isn't creating any $7/hour jobs here.
WalMart is very efficient, but even they can not replace 6 people with only 1. If they could, every company in the world would be trying to emulate them.
I am sure that plenty of the bad things said about WalMart are true, but some don't even pass the common sense test.

Sauropod Dinosaur Skulls Found in U.S.
SALT LAKE CITY – The first known North American skulls of Cretaceous era sauropods – big dinosaurs with little heads – have been uncovered in recent years by Brigham Young University and Dinosaur National Monument researchers.
About a dozen sauropod skulls are known from the earlier Jurassic era, but these are the first in North America for the Cretaceous, the final 80 million years of the dinosaur period.
The four Cretaceous sauropod skulls or parts of skulls were found close to each other at the monument, which straddles the Utah-Colorado border.
"We've really got a remarkable – it's almost mind-boggling – new discovery," said Dan Chure, Dinosaur National Monument paleontologist. "If there's one thing you would not expect to find . . . it's sauropod skulls, because they're so rare."
Also, the fossils have fine preservation, he said in a telephone interview with the Deseret Morning News. "It's kind of hard to overstate how amazing this is."
All four are the same type, a new species and genera, Chure said. They lived around 100 million years ago, or possibly a little earlier.
The new sauropod, which has not yet been formally named, may have been 25 feet long with an 18-inch skull. In comparison, the apatosaurus, some specimens of which once were called brontosauruses, could exceed 80 feet long.
A sauropod skull is not a single bone but a series of delicate bones. "It seems that as soon as they die, the head falls off," Chure said. The bones fall apart and the pieces may wash downstream or become scattered by scavengers. They rot away because they are too thin to be easily fossilized.
Parts of North American sauropod heads had been recovered previously, but not full skulls.
Brooks Britt, assistant professor of geology at BYU, said, "Sauropod skulls are among the rarest of dinosaur finds because they have the thinnest bones, the most delicate skulls."
In the 1970s, visiting paleontologists discovered the site where the sauropod skulls were later uncovered, which is on the Utah side of the monument in the general vicinity of the visitors center.
About 2000, monument dug up the first preserved, articulated (not separated in pieces) skull.
"It's slightly distorted, but it's certainly an outstanding specimen," Chure said.
About a year and a half ago, crews dug out a giant slab of sandstone from the quarry, because they could see traces of fossilized bones in the rock. The slab was around 6 or 7 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3 feet thick. It weighed thousands of pounds.
It was taken to the visitors center, and then last year was transported to BYU in Provo.
Britt's team extracted sauropod body bones and the second skull, which was disarticulated, meaning the pieces had fallen apart. They found the snout of a third sauropod of the same species, and at the quarry, scientists recovered the brain case of a fourth.
More specimens may await discovery in the quarry.
The articulated skull is so well preserved that eventually it may be used to make a mold, which could be cast. The cast could be placed on display.

In 36 years, Jason Jessee has been a Mormon, a lowrider, a husband and father, an outlaw biker, a small-business owner, a pro skateboarder, and now the star of his own documentary: Pray for Me: The Jason Jessee Movie. Years after the royalty checks ceased, he remains a cult hero of mythic proportions to his peers for his incandescent ability to achieve the insane and the impossible—without seeming to try.
"I could see just a silhouette of him doing a frontside ollie," says skate king Tony Hawk, "and I would know it was him. He went higher than anyone, and he just had a certain style." Hawk remembers going to keggers with Jessee in the '80s—and how much Jessee hated paying admission to a house party. So, Hawk says, "he would always steal the TV remote controls from the house."
"It was," Jessee says of his skating style, "just the whole not caring—the complete, just, not caring at all and making it." With a certain nihilism at his back, he earned a deserved reputation as the first skater to get full-sleeve tattoos, the first skater to wear Dickies and Pendletons and drive custom cars and outlaw choppers—and the only white guy ever to join the Dukes lowrider car club, a Latino stronghold.
But through it all, Jason Jessee has also had a more sinister label. Because of what he does and how he does it, he remains what law enforcement refers to as a "person of interest." Sometimes he eludes them—by hiding, by talking his way out of a jam, or by having friends intercede on his behalf. Other times he loses and, as he did in January, winds up on the evening news and the national no-fly list. "[I'm] the biggest successful failure ever," he tells me at one point; his whole life has been a dance marathon with the cops. And waiting to cut in? Are more cops. It never ends, partly because he can't stop it, partly because he doesn't want it to.
"You can create your own destiny," Jessee says, "and I've had so much fun with cops.
"I remember once I was 15, in 1985, and I was in Alabama. It was my first amateur [skateboard] contest I went to out of town, and I rode for Vision. I got the rental car from—Gator [Rogowski], I think. I went up the center divider—I didn't see it, and then I turned into this fenced, grassy area and just started spinning doughnuts, like a ton of them. And then I took off and went off to the contest. And then these feds showed up. They came in with full-on lights and everything.
"And they were asking everybody where I was, and they were like, 'We don't know where he is,' and it turned out that where I was doing doughnuts was federal land." Vision founder Brad Dorfman talked the federal agents out of taking him away. "Then later that night," Jessee says, "I got everybody kicked out of the hotel . . ."
People can't believe he's lasted this long.
"Skateboarding has a punk edge to it, and his heroes were all pretty much fucked people," says former pro skater Mike Lohrman, 38, of Newport Beach. "He followed along in their footsteps." On the wings of a wicked air-to-fakie, that frontside ollie and a few other choice moves, Jessee turned pro for Santa Cruz and moved out of his parents' San Juan Capistrano house the day after he turned 18—Dec. 29, 1987. But his best showing was placing third in a world halfpipe competition, and the year he made $100,000—his biggest-ever money—it just blew away.
"I have no fucking idea [where], and I was really super careful with not blowing it, but I have no idea. But I got a lot of good new friends that year. I'm too 'Share the Wealth,'" he says, referencing the platform of demagogical Louisiana governor Huey P. Long, who was assassinated in 1935. "And then taxes killed me. I got fucked. I got audited later." Now he rents a warehouse unit in Watsonville where the toilet barely works. A cold wind blows in the roll-up door, and it smells like Bandini. On the other side of the wall is a towing company he swears is a front for the cops.
"They're not a tow truck company. Who would have a towing company here? And the cops are always in there," he says—sounding like he does in the movie, where he talks about chem trails and scans the sky for helicopters—with a pair of binoculars his mother used to look for UFOs. Because, he says, when he moved in, the towing company was set up as a fake chop shop for a sting, and it was lousy with cops. Why would they leave now?

Lackerben, just wanted to say thanks for this wonderful system. I ran across it lastnight and did a workout for SC, and I hit today. I will be using this system for now on. Thanks again.
I'm happy that its hittng across the map.
Sounds like a western movie doesn't it?
Take the last three draws and add then vertically. Using NM p3 as an example. The next draw that hit after these three draws in yellow was 165. So, to quiet the critics this sytem has been backtested and it works.
1.) Next, take and subtract each column sum from 27 and in this example the result is on the row colored red.
2. Add +55 to the result
.3) and total pairs.
quick question to everyone if someone can help me out ok i figured out how to do the system but which pairs would be the best to play other then playing all 4 rows how do u figure out which pairs to play next after doing the work out thank someone please reply
read the last few pages.
Someone pm'd me and requested a Pick 4 Version
So here it is , ready for testing
i still dont get it please help its working awesome but instead of play all 4 rows which ones do i pick which pairs to play please help out laker and thank you
THANKS cARLIG. yOU HAVE MAIL.
That is up to you follow your states thread in p3 and p4 and see what is due,sums roots etc. I can't tell you everything.
Hi Larkben and CarliG, I just want to say that sum of the last 3 has been working for me in NY AND NJ today I had the 90 pair and befre that I had the 12 and the 84 pair on the NY side Jersey I am usually 1 off . I do my regular workout and then combine them and its been working. JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU !!!!!
Great! You are welcome.
Fl p3 evening
Hey Laker, did a very quick test in P3-didn't seem to work for texas, but will do more thorough testing later, also tried D4, it works great for pair picks for Texas Pairs in D4, thanks so much for posting gotta to run....
for those who are not understanding, download Carli G's excel sheet she has provided, once I looked at that, I understood and system takes 2-5 minutes, very easy, thanks again laker and carli g..
Hey Laker, Just wanted to say thanks again, this system works very well in D4 for pairs in texas, made 50 dollars this week using pairs and your system, could have been 75 but I miscalculated and put one of the pairs on day side and it played on night, thus far not seeing it be useful on pick 3...for texas, also been trying to make it work for cash 5 here in texas but not seeing it

tired of being hurt, you get it all or nothing at all.
My name is Jessica and I am not great at describing myself but I will do my best, but before I do that I just want to say that if you aren't looking for an actual relationship or if you cannot accept me for who I am then you can just move on to the next profile :). I am half Argentinian and half Puerto Rican, but I do not speak Spanish. I would like to learn and speak if fluently as soon as possible! I am the youngest of three and have been working since I was 16. I am ready to retire ;) . I am hardworking and everything I own I bought myself. I am putting myself through school as well. I have never been much of a "partier," maybe it's because I always work early in the morning, but I like to occasionally enjoy a night out on the town. I would rather hang out at a pub-ish setting than a club, can't stand trying to speak over the music! I love going to the movies and enjoy a wide range of them. I do not own many but my collection goes from Star Wars to Transformers to The Hangover to Last Kiss to Valentines Day to Lord of the Rings... Like I said, a wide range! I am looking for someone I can connect with who is honest and faithful. Being romantic, cuddly, trustworthy, humorous (we may not get along if you aren't!), loving, caring, responsible, reliable, supportive, and forgiving will help win me over. Having a healthy relationship with your family and being family oriented is always nice. I like to travel and dine out so if you did too, that would be great! Five years from now I see myself having found my lifelong partner already, my husband. Possibly have my first child by then and be settled down in a town I am in love with. Beautiful scenery is a must! :) If you aren't looking for a relationship or are still involved with an ex... don't waste my time or yours :) If you have any questions just ask :) If you decide to send me an e-mail you can start by telling me what you are looking for, your favorite animal, and a few of your favorite movies! That way I know you actually read this and thought that we might be a good match ;) . Please do not send me your number or ask for mine, I have to actually get to know you first. If you don't respond to these questions I'll know you didn't read my profile probably just delete your message :) Bad first impression!

Have an extensive delicious gluten free menu. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. Have eaten here dozens of times and absolutely recommend!
Consistently great food and knowledgable about Celiac and gluten allergies.
loved it! had gfree tomato jam pasta. a little over sauces but that's personal preference.
Most extensive gluten free menu EVER, including appetizers, main courses, sides, desserts, and drinks! They were super nice about serving me and even told me how items were cooked to protect me.
The food is very good, but the prices are so high! It's about $20 for a pasta dish with chicken in it. I can afford to eat there, but I just won't eat there often for that price. I don't feel that it is worth that price. I do believe they are careful because I didn't get sick from the food.
I had the gf pita and hummus as an appetizer. The bread was more like a flat piece of bread than pita but it was warm and delicious. For my main meal I had the diablo gf pasta with sausage. The dish was spectacular! TruFire has set the bar for how gf pasta can taste! We will definitely be back.
Diagnosed with Celiac in 2010 and am very sensitive to gluten and corn. The staff here is knowledgeable and nice! Didn't get sick so we will try again soon!
TruFire is Celiac friendly as the staff has been trained on Celiac disease and cross contamination. Excellent food and excellent service. Great GF menu as well as GF desserts.
HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE GLUTEN FREE PLACE! ! Everything was wonderful and cooked to perfection. variety of choices from beginning to end! ! plus they have Patio seating. .love it!
One of my favorites before GF and even more so since they added the GF menu. TruFire is a certified GF facility and takes it seriously. Husband enjoyed his garlic noodles and I had seared ahi tuna with an avocado mango salsa. Yummy! They also had hummus with GF pita chips and a chocolate flour less cake.

Grand Haven Port Bids for High-Tech Security and Surveillance
Grand Haven is leading the charge of West Michigan's port communities seeking federal assistance to install high-tech security cameras for surveillance and intelligence gathering, part of a Homeland Security program.
The city has prepared a grant application that, if approved, would lead to five miles of high-speed fiber optic lines being installed from the south pier to the highway drawbridge for 360-degree video surveillance cameras.
The six cameras would be connected to recording devices at the Central Dispatch center in downtown Grand Haven.
Muskegon Police Chief Tony Kleibecker said his department will look into applying for the grant through the Homeland Security Department's Maritime Domain Awareness Program.
The Grand Haven City Council recently approved City Manager Patrick McGinnis' request to apply for a $141,000 grant that would build on a project spearheaded by a local safety awareness group.
The Beach and Pier Safety Task Force in Grand Haven has raised money to install a security camera on the south pier and alarms for 15 life rings there.
The Homeland Security grant would build upon that project by stretching high-speed cable lines and cameras down the waterfront to the bridge over U.S. 31.
"At certain times during the summer, the population density along our waterfront is probably the highest in West Michigan," McGinnis said. "People like to think of Grand Haven as a small, sleepy town, but in the summer peak time we're as busy as anywhere, and our public safety officials are called upon to look after everyone.
"Being able to monitor what's going on is a critical thing from a homeland security prospective," McGinnis said. "To have this federal help is important to us."
McGinnis said the cameras are not a case of "Big Brother" invading the privacy of beach-goers. It's a matter of keeping the people safe.
"If you go anywhere these days where there is a large crowd, there are cameras all over the place," McGinnis said. "It's an accepted part of our society. We understand that there's a need to have the authorities keep an eye on things."
The fiber optic lines cost $30,000 a mile to install, said Lt. Mark Reiss of the Grand Haven Department of Public Safety. The cameras would be placed on utility poles, officials said.
The high-resolution cameras can pan 360 degrees automatically or be controlled manually. Officials would be able to monitor severe storms coming off the lake for boater safety and watch Dewey Hill during fireworks displays.
The city has $103,000 for the cable lines, one camera and several life rings on the pier. That equipment could be installed by Memorial Day, Reiss said.
The city expects to know by June whether the grant for the rest of the project has been approved. If it is, the equipment will be installed this year. An exact timeline is not known.
City officials are hopeful the grant will come their way. But they realize it's a competitive process.
"We've talked about better surveillance of our commercial port for a long time," McGinnis said. "We have international traffic here. This would give us a good record of exactly who, what, where and when things happen."
Where would they be?
Key areas the cameras would cover include:
- The piers.
- The state park.
- The boardwalk.
- The Grand Haven Board of Light and Power's coal generating plant.
- Bicentennial Park where cruise ships visit.
- The aggregate docks on the north shore.
- The drawbridge.

Fast, East MicroFun.
Rumours, via Tateru, that Microsoft are looking to buy out the Boys and become our new Lords and Masters have spawned a whole heap of very amusing stuff. Apart from Crap's blog there have been a load of jokes centred around Clippy, the most hated feature ever to have been invented (according to me) or ever likely to be invented in the whole of human existence.
So, for those of you that don't Tweet....
Clippy Linden is now the subject of a number of really good Tweets, his basic saying (for those ignorant of it) was..."bla, bla, do you need help with that?"
#ClippyLinden says "i see you're trying to lose some inventory items, would you like help with that?" from Oh Mead HBH.
#ClippyLinden says "I see you're trying to make a TPV that performs DDOS attacks... would you like some help finding the door?" ELiSchlegal... and also...#ClippyLinden "It looks like your are trying to post on the official SL Forums. Would you like some cheese to go with that whine?"
#ClippyLinden says "I see you're trying to cross sim lines smoothly. Would you like some help laughing at you while you try that?" m_ethaniel
#ClippyLinden It looks like you're trying to lay off 1/3 of your staff. Would you like help with crushing peoples' hopes and dreams? zero.
#ClippyLinden It looks like you're trying to search for something. Would you like some help realising how futile that is? aliceinthenet.
I'm not sure "micro" and "soft" would go over very well in Zindra... #IfMSoftBoughtLL from Lalo_T
...well...this will run and run, and fast easy fun was had by all...
7 comments:
actually the rumor came from a Twitter user named @tizzers. Tizzers is the most notorious Woodbury griefer. The Woodbury sim was shut down and the woodburys were banned. Ask Prokofy some time about Tizzers. So consider the source. http://alphavilleherald.com/2008/01/avatar-of-the-y.html
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people are laughing. Per my comment on Tateru's blog:
I guess people don't remember how Microsoft singlehandedly torpedoed VRML by polluting the WWW Consortium's HTML standards by introducing illegal "extensions" in its efforts to sabotage and destroy Netscape. Or how they took The Palace and ran it into the ground to get rid of competition. Or a thousand other such moves.
We'd be a whole lot farther along towards the true 3D multiverse if Darth Ballmer hadn't swooped in. Don't look to M$ to save your grid. Believe me, I was there then.
Go see my build, House of Cards, at Burn2 if you want to see the carcasses of worlds destroyed by this kind of M$abotage.
So, rumor or not, it's no laughing matter.

Luc Dubanchet: On the Paris Food Scene

My Paris Favorites: Eric Fraudeau of Cook'n With Class
Introduction by Linda Donahue
Eric Fraudeau should be Paris' ambassador to the world. Not only does he immediately dispel any notion that the French are standoffish, but he also has a passion for the French capital that is quite contagious. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of French cuisine, which shouldn't come as any surprise given his 20 years of experience as a chef in the restaurant and hotel industry. Eric has worked around the world — Canada, Mexico, the U.S., and France — rubbing aprons with the likes of Robuchon and Ducasse.
After realizing he wanted to share his love for creating savory cuisine, Eric opened up Cook'n With Class, an authentic French cooking school located in the heart of a real Paris neighborhood. The gleaming, beautifully-designed facility in Montmartre offers state-of-the-art teaching kitchens, where students from around the world learn how to create everything from breads to sweets to full-course meals. I had the pleasure of taking one such class, and all I can say is that it was one of the most delicious experiences of my life.
Eric has taken the time to share some of his favorite places in and around Paris … but, fair warning: some may make your mouth water.
Paris Neighborhood
I really like the 12th when you are close to the 11th. You know, Aligre, Trousseau, Ledru Rollin, Paul Bert… I love the feeling when I walk in the streets of this area. It is like a village. Everybody knows each other, and it is a family oriented neighborhood, with the ''promenade verte'' and a few nice little parks. Lots of the good, new trendy restaurants are in this area, Rino for instance. Even if it is becoming very BOBO, it is, still, in many ways a popular area. But I leave and work in Montmartre, and I love every part of that, too.
La Table d'Eugene (rue Eugene Sue in the 18th, Metro Jules Joffrin). The restaurant is small and the kitchen ridiculously small. He deserves an award just to be able to get such awesome food out of that kitchen. The food is good, not pricey. What I like is that the Chef creates modern cuisine with a traditional twist. The seasonal menu changes all the time and is always made with the freshest ingredients. It's a great price value for the food. This is a restaurant that deserves one Michelin star for the food but, because they choose such a small place and to have no tablecloth, the red book keeps ignoring them.
Restaurant (Ethnic)
Azabu on rue Mazet, Paris 6th. I have never been to Japan, but I love Japanese food. I learned in the US how to understand and enjoy Japanese food at places like Morimoto in Philadelphia and Nobu in New York. In Paris, good Japanese food is rare. Azabu has a very French approach to Japanese food, but the result is great. The food is expensive, and it has to be. You just cannot make great Japanese food with average quality ingredients. You need to reserve, and try to be on the ground floor facing the grill to enjoy watching the Chef playing with your food.
Cheap Eats
La Pizza De Loretta in the 9th. I love the pizza by the weight, it's very tasty. It feels like Rome. A little bit pricey for pizza, but worth it. They also have a short but good Italian wine selection.
Food/Gourmet Shop
La Grande Epicerie at Bon Marche. There's nothing original there, but the place is great. Lots of food from everywhere in the world. Lots of different pasta shapes and candies. I go there sometimes just to get some inspiration… they have more than 30 kinds of salt! If it was less expensive, I would buy all my food there.
Department Store
I am not sure I have one. After a few minutes in a department store, I start to yawn like crazy.
Chocolate Shop
Without hesitation, Pierre Marcolini , Rue de Seine Paris 6th. He is the best chocolatier in Paris. The quality is consistent and the flavors are the flavors I like. He uses very dark chocolate and makes small bites. The one I prefer is with the Yuzu filling, even if he is very famous for truffles, I prefer the chocolate with filling. I always like Belgium chocolate more than Swiss chocolate; I believe it is less sweet and maybe the flavor stays in the mouth longer.
Specialty Boutique
I am a cheese addict, I go for cheese almost every day. My favorite cheese shop is Marie Quatre-Hommes they have a store in the 18e, on the rue du Poteau. I've built a very good relationship with all the vendors, so I get all the tips about cheeses and they ask me to taste the new arrivals.
Boutique (women's or men's)
I am not really a shopper. When I need clothes I go to Printemps. They have it all: cheap, expensive, trendy, boring. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I cross the street and try Galeries Lafayette. I usually end up buying some stuff at Zara. I like the style or the ''no style'' they offer.
Place for Cocktails
Probably Mama Shelter. I like the mojitos and Martini list they have. They also always have a DJ or some live music, and it is a fun atmosphere. Lots of trendy people around. The last time I went was for brunch, and Vincent Cassel was there. A few months before, again for brunch, Alain Ducasse was there.
Music Spot
Les Trois mailletz, rue Gallande Paris 5th. I discovered this place a long time ago. It's a cabaret, filled up with lost tourists and some habitués, but everybody is here to have fun. The Piano bar is on the ground floor, but the place to be is underground. It's a show that you become part of, if you like dancing. The live music is happening in the back of the room and the dancers, singers, entertainers move, dance , and walk on the tables. Keep your glass in your hands and enjoy. I can spend hours there before I realize it's 5 am…
Patisserie /Boulangerie
I recently discovered Café Pouchkine — I like it a lot. Conticini and Hermé make me happy, too, when I need some sugar in my blood. A great éclair au café from La Maison du Chocolat can also do the job. For bread, Le Grenier a Pain does a '' pain de trois'' that I think is very, very good. Au Pain d'Antan on rue Ramey in the 18th does also a great job — their pain au Noix for the cheese is to die for.
Quiet Spot
Parc Monceau is quiet enough to read a book and to have a picnic, if the weather permits it. I will also go to the Café Garden at the Petit Palais for a quiet tea in the afternoon.
Paris Indulgence
I am currently studying Histoire de l'art at l'Ecole du Louvre. I try to see every expo that comes to Paris, but just walking through a museum makes my day. Obviously, Paris is full of cultural experiences of all kinds.
Day Trip from Paris
Lets go to Versailles! The food market is really nice, probably the best one in and around Paris. After the market visit, stop for lunch at Zin's (125 rue Yves Le Coz F – 78000 Versailles), and then go for a walk in the park. I also like to go to Provins, a small medieval village full of antique boutiques and small cafés.
Au Train de Vie: A Paris Brasserie Goes Off the Track
Story by Caitlin Rodgers
Above planes and automobiles, trains are the way to travel through Europe. Paris knows this to be true with its multitude of gares stationed throughout the city. But even if you come to Paris with plans to stay put (and who can blame you?), there's a place in the 10th arrondisement that offers the thrill of travel without moving you a mile. Above the humming engines and frenzied energy of the Gare de l'Est sits Au Train de Vie, a brasserie where, beyond classic menu conventions (an array of salads, steaks, frites, wine, and coffee), tradition is left at the curb.

Paris, My Sweet
Story by Linda Donahue
Amy Thomas is a lot smarter than I am. A lot. Whereas we both have a love of all things sweet that crosses way over the border of obsession, she's parlayed this indulgence into a blog and, now, a book. I, on the other hand, simply hoard my confections and ravage them without a word to anyone. Then again, if I thought for a moment that I could use my endless purchases of macarons, éclairs, and even cupcakes as a professional tax write-off, I'd probably have a much bigger problem with my waistline. (more…)
A French Recipe to Love: Crème au Chocolat
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, it's time for me to admit that I have had an ongoing, wondrous, and sometimes tumultuous relationship with chocolate. In Paris, I've been able to indulge this great love in ways I never thought possible. For instance, just when I thought chocolate mousse was destined to be my great love, I was introduced to the darkly seductive Crème au Chocolat. Baked and served in delightful little pots, each morsel of this custard-like concoction melted in my mouth, and before long I realized I was truly in love. (more…)
Musée Marmottan-Monet: A Marvelous Secret in the 16th
Story by Caitlin Rodgers

Celebrating Valentine's Day With a Paris Twist
By Sophie Delon
In Paris, Valentine's Day seems almost like a redundancy, given that the city celebrates romance every single day. But Parisians do mark the holiday much the way those in the U.S. do: with flowers, small gifts, and words of affection. Of course, when presented during a stroll along the Seine, or while dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant with views over the French capital, such trinkets take on even more significance. (more…)
My Paris Favorites: Terrance Gelenter
Introduction by Linda Donahue
I had, like most of the Paris expat community, known of Terrance Gelenter long before I actually met him, on a beautiful spring day at a (now defunct) café in St. Germain. It was a chance meeting. I was having lunch with my dear friend John, and Terrance was sitting a table by himself. Because he and John were friendly (bien sûr), we sat down at the table next to his, and spent the next hour or so chatting away. Terrance was holding court, for both us and the café staff who knew him well. (more…)

January Events in Paris
By Sophie Delon
The days are shorter and colder, but January in Paris offers plenty of warmth. Perhaps they're still wrapped up in the joy of the holiday season and the excitement of a new year, or maybe they just need more diversions to get through the winter months, but Parisians have filled the month with some of the most exciting events of the year.

A Very Paris New Year
From Linda Donahue, Editor-in-Chief
Here we are, ready to once again mark the end of another year and celebrate the start of a new one. I've already spent my time reflecting back on 2011 and contemplating all the things I want to accomplish in 2012. I don't believe in resolutions — I broke too many in my younger days to find any real use in them. But, at this time each year, I always try to find "The Lesson To Be Learned" from the preceding year. I think Oprah would call it an "aha moment." (more…)
Vin Chaud on a Cold Winter Afternoon

Picasso on a Pillow: The Artistry of Jules Pansu
Story by Sophie Delon
Jules Pansu, the son of a modest weaver from Voiron, had a dream to design and manufacture his own fabrics. After seven years of traveling by train all over Europe and Russia, selling silks for a company from Lyon, he knew the trade and was confident he could create the highest quality fabrics—fabrics that would add to the elegance and beauty of any furnishing. His dream came true—in 1878—launching a family-owned dynasty that, 133 years later, still remains one of the most respected purveyors of luxury fabrics around the world. (more…)
A Taste of Paris with the Hotel Lutetia's Philippe Renard
Story provided by the Paris Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Edited by Sophie Delon.
Philippe Renard has been the chef of the Hotel Lutetia kitchens for 20 years. Under his leadership, the reputation of the starred restaurant, brasserie and all the restaurant areas of the mythical Left Bank hotel have spread beyond Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A lively discussion with a chef passionate and dedicated to his "house." (more…)
Paris in Focus: Esplanade Invalides
Story by Caitlin Rodgers. Photos by Linda Donahue.
Situated in the seventh arrondisement between the Eiffel Tower and Orsay Museum, Esplanade Invalides is a stretch of Parisian history that's often overlooked. En route to work, school or tourist spots like the Rodin Museum and Rue Cler's market, it can be more a place of crossing than destination. Dare to pass though and you'll discover charming sketches of Parisian quotidian in this stretch of grass and sky. (more…)
A Friday Night in Paris
Story by Linda Donahue
What's one to do on a warmer-than-usual Friday night in Paris while in the company of a handsome and stylish friend? That was the question I found myself asking last weekend as I met up with my friend in the 6th arrondissement of the French capital. As it turns out, the answer was a no-brainer. (more…)
An American in Paris: Jewelry Designer John Agee
Story by Linda Donahue
In the heart of Paris' fashionable 6th arrondissement is the rue Jacob, a delightfully quiet street perched between the Boulevard Saint Germain and the Seine. Most of the people found strolling down this street are local residents, people who know the treasures that can be found here—including the enchanting showroom of the American jewelry designer, John Agee. (more…)
Incapacitated in Paris: What To Do If You're Sick
Story by Linda Donahue
Last November, the night before I left for my winter stay in Paris, I had a classic "slip and fall" in a store that resulted in a few stitches in my knee. And this past Sunday, hours before I headed to the airport for that same winter stay, my back started to bother me. A nine-hour airplane ride later, it was a goner. I spent my first day in Paris immobilized and in pain. (more…)
Only in Paris, Only in Winter
Story and photos by Linda Donahue, Editor-in-Chief
In a few days, I'll be heading back to Paris for my annual winter stay. Temperatures will be brisk (to say the least). There will be no flowers, colorful or otherwise, blooming in the parcs and jardins, and daylight will be fleeting. It's for these reasons that my friends and family members question my sanity, wondering why, for Pierre's sake, I would leave warm and sunny Miami for time in cold and dark Paris. (more…)

This route is super cool. Keep looking into the crack on the way up and you will see some amazing crystal formations. Gorgeous. |
By Tony B From: Around Boulder, CO Apr 18, 2002 rating: 5.11 6c+ 23 VIII- 23 E4 5c |
Survey says.... This route is 125' long. The hardest single move for me was the OW at the bottom, which was awkward to get up. The chockstones at the back dumped sand when I tried to use them. After placing a "psychological" piece (psycho-illogical, maybe) behind the flake, where the height was becomeing questionably dangerous, the moves back off to 5.9+ until good gear can be had. Call this route 5.11 (solid, sustained) and 5.9+ R. |
By Rob Dillon Oct 1, 2003 |
The widening splitter through the bulge just left of the route at mid-height is rad, and doesn't get wide like the top of WW. A cool step across accesses good hands. Natham Martin put this one up, or so I heard. I don't think this makes the route any harder, but you won't need anything bigger than a 3.5F for it either... I recall this having a plaque as of '04 or so? |

Pulling the roof is not as tough as it looks. this route keeps coming at you. excellent variety for a splitter crack. May seem not as classic with Pente and Slot Machine so close by, but definitely worthy. |

This is a great route. I personally thought the opening moves were really easy - no wide technique necessary - but I did see people in our party making this section look really hard. You can get a good sideways undercling fingerlock (I won't tell you where, but you'll figure it out) - even for big fingered people - if you pull out on it as you're stepping up, your fingers lock tight, and you can high step onto the good feet and get finger locks in the back on the left............. I thought the top was strenuous, I layed back most of the wide part with the good edge, as my hands were too small for fists and I wasn't into stacking.. |

Fantastic route! Great for smaller mits. Our 70 m did not reach the ground - bring double ropes. |

climbed this in fall '11, great route. Got on it again ( march '12 ) and the blocks 10ft off the ground are SUPER loose. Be careful. |

No more blocks and/or flake right off the ground in the wide section. Still nice and dirty though. I placed a #6 Camalot to protect this section. This route is exactly 35m long. Our 70m made it back to the ground, but the knot at the end of the rope was against the belay device. Tie a knot in the end of the rope if using a 70m! Fun, interesting, and diverse route. Not an easy 5.11, as Tony B stated earlier, but certainly not runout. |

Occupational therapy practitioners are experts in addressing the essential and everyday activities of daily living. By choosing to specialize in driver rehabilitation, you are helping individuals remain mobile and independent. You are helping ensure their meaningful participation in the community.
Your specialized training not only can help optimize and prolong an older driver's ability to drive safely but also can ease the transition to other forms of transportation if limiting or stopping driving becomes necessary.
What You Need to Know
To get started in the field of driver evaluation and intervention, occupational therapists can apply much of what they currently do and already know.
Occupational therapists are trained in task analysis and in identifying the appropriate match of activity demands and skills to achieve optimal outcomes. You build on this foundation when receiving specialized training in driver rehabilitation.
For courses and programs that provide you with specialized training, see Continuing Education.
You can also find out more about driving rehabilitation and community mobility as an emerging practice area in the OT Connections forums.
A variety of tools are available that enable individuals to drive safely longer. These adaptive features can be added to a vehicle to help compensate for an individual's physical changes or functional loss, or simply to make the vehicle fit the person more comfortably and safely.
Although many businesses sell adaptive equipment, people who need such equipment should have a thorough assessment by an occupational therapy driving rehabilitation specialist to ensure that the right equipment is selected. In addition, the specialist can help make sure that the equipment is properly installed and can provide training on using the equipment before the person takes to the road in a vehicle.

I have strict rules on what is 'metal' and what is not. I think of metal as aggressive music accompanied by passion and anger. So, I basically love anything that's metal, and hate anything that tries to be but fails (most slam death, most metalcore, all industrial, etc.)
The only metal bands I don't really like are Obituary and Overkill. I simply can't bring myself to get into those bands. However, I still respect them because, hell, they are still METAL. And I'd rather be listening to metal, even if it's sub par, than modern rock or the Jonas Brothers any day.
Top 10 best albums:
"Awaken the Guardian" - Fates Warning
"None so Vile" - Cryptopsy
"Pierced From Within" - Suffocation
"Among the Living" - Anthrax
"A Blaze in the Northern Sky" - Darkthrone
"Beneath the Remains" - Sepultura
"Images and Words" - Dream Theater
"Symbolic" - Death
"Considered Dead" - Gorguts
"Bergtatt..." - Ulver
soooooo many more...
Sorry for the inclusion of exclusivly older albums on there. I like newer metal too, just these are the ones that come to mind immediatly.
Oh, and fuck all you trve/kvlt "metalheads". You're just whiners; "It's not Altars of Madness wahhhh wahhh wahhh". If you were real metalheads you'd stick by metal through think and thin. So suck it up and headbang, be glad these kids are letting their aggression out playing metal than by other means. Yeah, obviously older metal is better, but face it, it's a tad bit unrealistic to think metal should always stay the same throughout it's existance. It evolves into new forms all the time, and that's why we've had it for so long, even if some of those forms are less desirable than others.
Some of the albums in my collection are CD-R's (soon to be removed) and some were purchased on iTunes. Most were purchased legit though (at fye/best buy or on amazon/ebay).

Leduc, Antoine O.H.C. and Roh, Ellie and Macnaughton, Camille J. and Benz, Frederic and Rosenfeld, Jordan and Brown, Grant E. (2010) Ambient pH and the response to chemical alarm cues in juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): mechanisms of reduced behavioral responses. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 139 (1). pp. 117-128. ISSN 0002-8487
| PDF - Published Version 170Kb |

Even at sublethal concentrations, various anthropogenic pollutants may disrupt the transfer of chemosensory information, often inducing maladaptive behavioral responses. Recent studies of freshwater prey fishes have shown impaired abilities to respond to damage-released chemical alarm cues from conspecifics under weakly acidic conditions (pH ; 6.0). Several factors acting individually or collectively may account for such chemosensory impairment. By itself, acidification may chemically disrupt the alarm cues and affect fish olfactory functions. Alternatively, differences in local environmental conditions may affect biochemical composition, quantity of chemical alarm cues produced by epidermal tissue, or both, leading to variations in alarm response. Our goal was to assess whether the ability to produce and detect onspecific chemical alarm cues is similar in individuals reared under neutral versus acidic conditions. We conducted two experiments in which we measured the behavioral response of wild juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar exposed to chemical alarm cues. In particular, we looked for differences in the ability of individual fish to (1) produce alarm cues capable of eliciting consistent antipredator behavior in conspecifics and (2) detect alarm cues upon the fish's introduction into a stream with a pH differing from that of the stream of origin; the latter experiment involved reciprocal transplant of fish between neutral (pH range ; 7.0–7.3) and acidic (pH range ; 5.9–6.3) sites. Our results demonstrate that the ability to produce and respond to chemical alarm cues is maintained in Atlantic salmon reared under acidic conditions and did not differ from that of fish reared under neutral conditions. Overall, these data suggest that no permanent olfactory damage occurred under reduced pH and, likewise, no significant difference in functional alarm cue production existed between Atlantic salmon reared under neutral and acidic conditions. Short-term reduction in olfactory sensitivity and degradation of the chemical alarm cues under acidic conditions are the likely mechanisms affecting detection of these important chemicals by prey fish.

Only HIV and syphilis are screened during antenatal care in Cameroon, despite the fact that HIV is known to be associated with other sexually transmitted infections.
In its purest essence, religion seeks to promote justice, dignity and compassion. These core values can be harnessed in the effort to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Due to traditional beliefs about male virility, many men worldwide shun vasectomy, reducing the efficacy of this reliable method of contraception.
In Thailand, innovative HIV prevention advocates engage the community by emphasizing sexual diversity, conducting religious outreach, and involving community members in research.
Both young men and young women in Zambia are under pressure to engage in multiple sexual relationships. For men, it's due to norms of masculinity, and for women, it's due to economic hardship.
In Jamaica, as in many parts of the world, HIV and AIDS create a specter of fear and persecution leading to stigma, discrimination and, for many, the concealment of the disease.
African women giving birth are often affected by low incomes and and high stress levels, increasing the likelihood of onset of postpartum depression.
To respond effectively to the epidemics of AIDS and TB around the world, a strategy for communicating messages that influence individual behavior change, community attitudes and socio-political dynamics is critical.
Tuberculosis has a major impact on women's reproductive health and the health of their children, but there is little attention to women's vulnerability in the current media blitz about a resurgent TB internationally, and in particular, in sub-Saharan Africa.
Menstruation is perhaps one of the most ordinary individual female experiences but, in sub-Saharan Africa, the experience often impacts society as a whole negatively due to the absence of clean water, sanitation, and products to cope with menstrual flow.

TV on the Radio was greeted with a host of critical acclaim upon the release of last year's Dear Science, and even though the record was marked as the band's fourth release, it placed the Brooklynites on the road to commercial success. Now, TV on the Radio will be releasing a remix EP of their most successful album, making it the first time the post-rock band will have delved into the world of remixing their material.
The revamped EP, entitled the Read Silence EP was originally due out in February, but will finally hit stores tomorrow, April 14, off of the band's label, Interscope. For the remixes, the band enlisted the help of Gang Gang Dance and Willie Isz among others, and rather than taking the usual route of remixing, Read Silence EP will include three non-single remixes off of Dear Science along with remaking of the released single tracks. We envision TV on the Radio's electronically charged sound translating well to the remix, better than say if Justice were to remix U2.

How it got any better than Jasper to Banff is beyond me but it does! Damn this country is beautiful!
A couple latent shots first..
Icefields parkway
Camp just north of glacier in Alberta
Falls at our campground, we bs'd with the conservation officers and they gave us some tips on how to avoid the Calgary flooded out roads. It was a bummer that we missed out on some great roads near there. WE did get a taste of the Calgary stampede though.
Glacier National
I didn't mention this earlier but my brand new nx1100 camera exploded in glacier park after I tried hanging the tripod to a tree... a leather man, black tape and patience somehow kept this lens working until this point, although you can see a spot or two.. where can a guy pick up a lens up here?
In Prince George I taught Sam a new song to peddle to the drive thru customers at Tim Horton's
We camped at lake tyhee and I randomly ran into a fella I used to work with in anchorage on his way back from Portland on a bike, crazy small world!
So close you can taste it! Alaska!
ALASKA baby! We made it!
The trip to the end of the road is well worth it :)
No words...
