Join me at the National Museum of the American Indian for an exciting discussion on the fusion of Asian and Latino cuisines, as part of the Smithsonian Asian-Latino Festival 2013.
A Conversation about Asian-Latino Food Crossings
"Asian-Latino Fusion" has been a popular restaurant industry concept for over two decades. But Asian and Latino food cultures have a much longer and richer history of intersection, stretching from the farm to the home table, from the mercado to the food truck. "Gourmet Intersections: Asian-Latino Food Crossings" considers Asian-Latino foodways through a broad lens, tracing connections across a range of histories, geographies, and cultures.
Join White House chef Cristeta Comerford, Iron Chef America judge Trevor Corson, Pati's Mexican Table host Pati Jinich, and journalist and celebrated cookbook author Anupy Singla for a lively discussion about the changing shape of shared food traditions, touching on the restaurant industry, the space of the home, and the migration and evolution of sushi from Japan across the Americas.

Cooking demonstration and tasting dinner at the Mexican Cultural Institute.
Asian demographic influence has a long and storied past in Mexico: Filipinos came through the Pacific trade on huge Galleons, Chinese communities worked to build Mexican railroads, and Japanese settlers found work on coffee plantations. Mexico's culinary heritage is no stranger to this influence—dishes have benefited from their steaming, drying and salting techniques, as well as the spices. Join me as I explore the heritage of Asian cuisine in Mexico through dishes like Dried Shrimp Soup, Green Beans with Salted Peanuts and Chile de Arbol, Mexican-style Mongolian Beef, Spicy Tofu, and Sticky Rice Playero.

Mozambique launches UNITE FOR CHILDREN UNITE AGAINST AIDS
By Michael Klaus
Maputo, 5 November 2005 – The campaign JUNTOS PELAS CRIANÇAS JUNTOS CONTRA O SIDA (Unite for Children Unite against AIDS) was kicked off throughout Mozambique on Saturday with the main event taking place in the city centre of Maputo. Some 10,000 children joined the First Lady Maria da Luz Dai Guebuza, who is the Patroness of the campaign, President Armando Guebuza and members of the cabinet for a colourful launch on Independence Square.
Also attending the event were Ms Graça Machel, UNICEF Representative Leila Pakkala and representatives from Save the Children Alliance and civil society members, as well as other UN, bilateral and non-governmental partners.
The President of Maputo's Child Parliament, Hercía Marisa Cardoso Mousanha, said the fight against HIV/AIDS needs the participation of each and everybody, children and adults, Government institutions and non-governmental organisations. The children of Mozambique were very proud to have the First Lady as the Patroness of the campaign, she said.
Maria da Luz Dai Guebuza got very emotional: "We are shocked when we see what AIDS is doing to our children. We see young children who have to care for their elderly grandmothers, because their own parents have already died. Many of our children cannot be children anymore - because of AIDS." The President appealed to all Mozambicans to join the campaign. "It's a question of life and death. We have to regain our values, because no child should grow up without his or her family."
UNICEF Representative Leila Pakkala, the head of Save the Children UK, Chris McIvor, and Paulo Cuinica from the Mozambican NGO FDC came in with a joint intervention to underline the importance of close collaboration: "The success of the campaign in Mozambique will depend on whether we manage to act together or not," they said. More than 30 national and international organisations joined to participate in the start-up of the campaign. Next week a wide range of partners will meet under the auspices of the National AIDS Council to discuss the specific impact of the pandemic on children and women, and how to accelerate the fight against HIV and AIDS more effectively.
In their statement Leila Pakkala, Chris McIvor and Paulo Cuinica described the different ways of how HIV/AIDS is devastating the lives of children in Mozambique. They highlighted the fact that one in nine children and young people under 18 are directly affected because they are infected themselves, have to care for relatives who are sick due to AIDS or because they have already been orphaned by the pandemic.
In the run-up to the launch, under the guidance of the great Mozambican artist Malangatana young students of the School of Visual Art produced a series of paintings visualising the impact of HIV/AIDS on their lives. The Mural was displayed on the stage in Maputo, which also became the scene of a dance performance on HIV/AIDS prevention given by the youth group of the National Dance Company.
On the same day, the Governors of all provinces organised similar events in their capitals. "The launches were crucial to get the momentum for scale up. But now we have to pull together and work with much more focus and energy. We have to expand programmes dramatically now, if we are going to make a real positive difference in the lives of our children," UNICEF Representative Leila Pakkala said afterwards in an interview.
On average, about 500 new HIV-infections occur every day in Mozambique, 90 of them among young children through mother-to-child transmission. Because of this around 91,000 children younger than 15 years of age are living with HIV or AIDS. The prevalence rate is even much higher among adolescents who have started a sexual relationship, since this is the main mode of transmission in Mozambique. Almost 130,000 young people aged 15 to 19 are estimated to be living with HIV or AIDS. Girls are particularly vulnerable which is demonstrated by the fact that almost 100,000 of those living with HIV/AIDS in this age group are girls.
In addition, more than 325,000 children and young people under the age of 18 have already lost their mother, father or both parents to AIDS. At least 500,000 are caring for sick family members, which normally makes them extremely vulnerable to malnutrition and all sorts of exploitation.

One of South Asia's largest police deployments begins
Assistant Sub-Inspector Ravi G.M., a telecom officer from the Sikkim Sector Headquarters of the Sashastra Seema Bal-Sikkim Sector, sits with a radio set and a map full of colourful stick notes co-ordinating the arrivals of 60 companies of his force.
Mr. Ravi, who hails from Chikkaballapur in Karnataka, has served for a month in the Maoist-hit Sukma in Chhattisgarh and is now in Bhopal on election duty.
"Our companies, which have 137 men, are self-sufficient. We procure food items from the area we are deployed in, but cook on our own. Our men can perform with just four hours of sleep a day. My duty is to locate all our units arriving by train and bus and coordinate with the local police, and see to it they reach the places they are supposed to," he says.
Mr. Ravi is part of the largest police mobilisation carried out in the history of Madhya Pradesh. In all, 552 companies of Central forces and armed police from 10 States are supporting 120 companies of the Madhya Pradesh police in conducting the Assembly elections scheduled for November 25. Besides 12,000 Madhya Pradesh Home Guards, 33,000 home guards from six other States have been deployed, Director-General of Police Nandan Dube told The Hindu.
"In all, 1.58 lakh police personnel are facilitating this election, the largest deployment I have seen in my career," Mr. Dube said.
As the Election Commission has revised norms for deployment, forces from outside the State will be deployed in booths, not merely as patrol and strike teams.
In the previous elections, only 150 companies from outside were deployed. The challenge in logistics this time is Himalayan.
Additional DGP (Internal Security) S.L. Thaosen is the Quartermaster-General for this campaign.
Formerly with the Special Protection Group in New Delhi that protects the Prime Minister and other VIPs, Thaosen hasn't had much sleep this week .
He explains that liaison officers were sent to key rail heads in the neighbouring state. They had to see that to it troops reach the railway stations in sequence and that food and trains were made available. A thousand buses and 33 trains have been hired for this exercise. A chopper each has also been deployed in Singrauli and Balaghat.
"The main problem is the lack of infrastructure, namely coaches, yards, platforms, engines and staff. When troops reach they station, they are hungry and the catering services cannot provide for such huge numbers. Our officers had to arrange for food. Besides, preference is given to passenger trains so our trains may not even halt near a platform," explained Thaosen.
When the trains were exhausted, buses were leased, he says. "Many operators may not want to ply. We then exercise pressure through the respective district administrations to convince them. Once they reach, vehicles, fuel and supplies must be available. They also need to be in touch with the local police to reach the spot," he added.
As far as possible, the companies -- which have their own cooks and utensils -- aren't broken up. But some of them will be, as troops are deployed in half sections of five to six jawans at a spot. Their survival is then in the hands of dhabas or, if lucky, a police camp in the vicinity.
The MP Police has provided SIM cards with only incoming calls activated. "Each force uses its own radio system and frequency. If they all use them together, the communication system will get jammed. So we use the mobile network for communicating with them," Mr. Thaosen said.
This is also the first time such a large number of home guards from other states have been pressed into service. For Karnataka's 2000 home guards, posted in Hoshangabad division, this is their first operation outside the state. "Home guards are volunteers so their allowance needs to reach them before they start. The daily allowance is Rs. 300 besides which we also provide food. The men are stationed in dharamshalas and, if needed, schools and government buildings," added the ADGP.
All personnel are insured by the EC. The families of those who die during deployment get Rs. 1.5 lakhs, seriously injured get Rs. 50,000 and those who sustain simple injuries get Rs. 25,000. Two home guards from Uttar Pradesh, one due to cardiac arrest and the other in a traffic mishap, have died so far.
Campaigning ended at 5 p.m. on Saturday, and police held flag marches across the state. The marches in Bhopal had queues of jawans stretched for almost a kilometre. Inspector General of Police Sanjay Jha led the march through parts of the city on a 10km march. Bhopal alone has 4000 policemen on poll duty.
Before marching, Jha told the jawans assembled in the light mist at Lal Parade Ground, "Swell your chests and march. Let the public know they can vote without fear. The miscreants must understand that if they do anything wrong they cannot get away."
MP votes on November 25 with 2583 candidates contesting for 230 seats. Counting will take place on Deceember 8, before which Ravi and other troops will be guarding polling booths in Rajasthan and Delhi.
Campaigning ended at 5 p.m. on Saturday, and the police took out flag marches across the State.

Very nice campground with nice level spots. My only complaint is that the whole thing is built on a very steep slope, so it's hard to get your car up there (and turned around properly) and sometimes difficult getting your gear down to the spot that you've reserved if it's too far off of the road. That said, it is... More

NEW YORK — Who hasn't Pharrell produced for?
The hitmaker's Rolodex includes pop heavyweights from Beyonce to Justin Timberlake, maestros like Hans Zimmer and Heitor Pereira, and wildcards such as Daft Punk and Scissor Sisters.
The 40-year-old said his diverse background heavily aided in the making of "G I R L," his funky new album released this week.
"I wanted to work with all cultures and all kinds of people so it could teach me more about my own craft," said Pharrell, who has produced songs on his own, but many as part of the Neptunes with Chad Hugo. "All of the artists we were blessed to work with that didn't look like us, that didn't sound like us or didn't dance like us, all of that was the very reason I was able to make this album."
Pharrell won nonclassical producer of the year at the Grammy Awards in January, thanks to his work on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." And now he's back on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Happy," which was nominated for an Academy Award.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Pharrell breaks down his favorite five songs he's produced. We also have him weigh in on our Phavorites.
— Usher, "U Don't Have to Call" from "8701" (2001): Solely written by Pharrell, "U Don't Have to Call" was another hit in Usher's epic run as pop's leading man in the early 2000s. "He's just a maestro … his voice is unmatched … he supersedes what most people think he can do," Pharrell said. "I just love when we're able to do colorful black music. There's nothing like that. I love all kinds of music and all genres, but obviously just colorful black music is a good feeling for me personally… We were even able to squeeze in two bridges, which is a rarity for pop radio."
— Jay Z featuring Pharrell, "So Ambitious" from "The Blueprint 3" (2009): Pharrell's first success with Jay Z came when "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" burst on the scene in 2000, and since the two have collaborated nonstop. "He just continues to get better — it's like fine wine," Pharrell said of the rap veteran. "He's something else. When you talk to him, you see purple. He's wisdom."
— Pharrell featuring Daft Punk, "Gust of Wind" from "G I R L" (2014): Pharrell says creating "Gust of Wind" was like designing a room in your house where some of the accent pieces don't quite fit. So robots came to the rescue. "A song tells you what it needs, where it goes, or what melody is missing, or if there could be more … with 'Gust of Wind,' it felt good and I loved the song, but I was like, 'Man, you know, this just feels perfect for the robots to get on the chorus and harmonize with me,'" he said. "I played it for them and instantly, you know, they're robots and they just got right to it. There was no lag time."
— Missy Elliott, "On & On" from "The Cookbook" (2005): "That's one of my favorite hip-hop beats I've done of all-time because it's so unorthodox," Pharrell said. "It's Missy, so you're working with a person that's genius. She morphs into anything. Her spirit is super-colorful and larger than life. And she knows how to tap into another zone."
— N.E.R.D., "Life As a Fish" and "Inside of Clouds" from "Nothing" (2010): "That was an ode to awareness and the value of awareness," he said of the reflective groove "Life As a Fish." He adds that "Inside of Clouds" is about "the appreciation for water and what it means to our own biosphere."
AP's PICKS:
— Britney Spears, "I'm a Slave 4 U" from "Britney" (2001): Thanks to knowing Jay Z, Pharrell met Justin Timberlake. Thanks to Timberlake being a great boyfriend, Pharrell met Britney Spears, and "I'm a Slave 4 U" was born. "Jay Z introduced me to him (at a club) in New York. He was there with a couple guys from N'Sync and Jay was like, 'You have to meet this guy Justin Timberlake from N'Sync.' I was like, 'Oh, OK, cool.' Jay was like, 'Y'all need to work together.' And I was like, 'Yeah. Sure.' So we met up and we did 'Girlfriend' and funny thing is the song's called 'Girlfriend' and Justin's like, 'I want you to work with my girl' and I was like, 'All right, cool,'" Pharrell explained. "So he set it up and we did like two songs. You know, we thought it was interesting, but I remember people going, 'Oh you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't work with people in pop.' And I was like, 'Man, we have to have way more vision than that and we have to be open to … other types of creativity and what that may bring… If you're just closed-minded and you think categorical all the time, then you're going to be a categorical producer and I didn't want to do that."
— Beyonce, "Blow" from "Beyonce" (2013): Pharrell says while Beyonce gives 2,000 percent, others can barely give 90. "Sis is like another level, dude. She is like a freak of nature. She's such a perfectionist," said Pharrell, who produced the upbeat jam from Beyonce's surprise album, which is sexually charged, much like Bey's "Kitty Kat" from "B'Day," a song Pharrell also worked on.
— Mase featuring Puff Daddy, "Lookin' at Me" from "Harlem World" (1997): Pharrell was still establishing himself, so when he and Hugo came up with "Lookin at You," a Top 10 pop hit, he originally sang on the song. "And I was on (the hook) first, but Puff was like, 'No, no,'" he recalled. But getting a chance to produce for the premier Bad Boy label was a lifetime dream for young Pharrell. "Puff is still one of my heroes. And Mase — he had the golden voice, and no one was touching that. And to allow us to go in and do a track with them, it was like, 'Man, thank you, Puff, and thank you, Mase.' And I was hoping that we could have got with Biggie, but we never got a chance to, but it was still like a moment for us because those were our heroes."
— Ray J featuring Lil Kim and Pharrell, "Wait a Minute" from "This Ain't a Game" (2001): Before Kim Kardashian, Ray J was a singer on the rise, sort of. The Neptunes produced some of his second album, which included the addictive hit "Wait a Minute." "We just wanted to make something different and something that felt different," Pharrell said. "I was just glad the folks wanted to go there. It's awesome when the people want to go there. It feels like there's a shift right now in music, you know. There's so many really good and brave artists taking chances."

Best-Selling Ruins Loses Some Fear Factor on Film
One of the scariest summer reads of recent years, The Ruins (Paramount, $29.99) didn't quite create the same level of excitement when it was brought to the big screen.
Perhaps author Scott Smith's tale of a man-eating plant that decides to dine on a group of friends who trek into the dense jungle surrounding an undisturbed Mayan ruin was a little too offbeat, even for fantasy lovers, when played out in the glare of reality created by a movie camera.
Nevertheless, The Ruins has its frightening — and gruesome — moments. They're even more gruesome in this "unrated edition" which contains footage that "was too intense for theaters," as the Paramount publicity department says, as well as a new ending. For the squeamish, the original theatrical version is also available.
There wasn't a big audience for Stop-Loss (Paramount, $29.99) which had the double whammy of dramatically telling about the home front crises caused by soldiers faced with another tour of duty in Iraq and a central character who goes AWOL rather than get back on a plane that will take him back to war.
Iraq has never played very well as entertainment or even in documentaries to a nation that would rather cheer on the contestants of American Idol. So a film that questions the repeated reassignment of America's volunteer fighting forces to battles in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't cut muster.
Too bad. For all its melodramatics, Stop-Loss is played as a no- way-out thriller. Ryan Phillippe stars as an Army sergeant who still feels guilt for leading his troops into an ambush where some died or were severely injured. So when he's reassigned for another tour of duty in Iraq on the day he believed he was going to be discharged from the Army, he sets off on a hare-brained cross-country trek with the soon-to-be-ex-fiancee of his best friend. Along the way they discover an America that can be as dangerous as Iraq. In the film's most touching moments he visits one of his men who is now a blind double amputee in an Army hospital. Perhaps at times, Stop-Loss came too close to reality for audiences to stomach.
Mummy dearest
In advance of the Aug. 1 return of the bandaged one in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Universal has resurrected three of its Mummy hits in three separate double-disc sets ($19.98 each) that have many bonus features.
That includes the still-creepy 1932 original starring Boris Karloff, which is on one of the discs in The Mummy — Special Edition. There's also a documentary on the making of the film, commentary by film historian Paul M. Jenson and modern-day makeup wizards, original posters and publicity materials, a tribute to legendary makeup artist Jack Pierce and a look back at the start of the Mummy horror franchise.
Best of all the bonus features, however, is a retrospective look at some of the most memorable monster movies of all time in Universal Horror, narrated by Kenneth Branagh. This 90-minute documentary includes behind-the-scenes looks at the 1923 The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1925′s Phantom of the Opera, the evolution of vampire movies and scene-by-scene comparison scenes between 1931′s famous Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, and the not-so-famous but in many ways superior 1931 Spanish-language version, which was shot at night on the same sets at Universal that Lugosi and company used in the daytime. The Wolf Man, Frankenstein and his monster, the Invisible Man, King Kong and many more are here, with explanations of how some of the groundbreaking special effects were created. Best is an explanation of how, in the 1930s, without cutting or moving the camera, the handsome Dr. Jekyll turned into the frightening Mr. Hyde in a single shot.
The two-disc The Mummy — Deluxe Edition includes not only a digitally restored copy of the 1999 remake of The Mummy, but a look at the film's special effects, deleted scenes, commentaries, storyboards and more. Its 2001 sequel also has been digitally restored in The Mummy Returns — Deluxe Edition which includes a conversation with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a step-by-step look at creating the film's visual effects, commentaries and more.
Batman again
As if Heath Ledger's death and the inherent interest from rabid fans weren't enough to fan Batman mania for The Dark Knight, the studio feeds the flames with a new DVD release and the Blu-ray high- definition debut of the 2005 hit film Batman Begins (Warner). With the Dark Knight sequel hitting theaters July 18, the first flick returns in two-disc DVD and single-disc Blu-ray gift sets. Highlighting the Blu-ray extras is the Dark Knight prologue, the first six minutes of the new film, in which Ledger's Joker and a team of thieves in clown masks pull off a wild bank heist. Other bonus materials include a 32-page DC Comics adaptation of the movie prologue and five Batman postcards. The movie also is available as a basic Blu-ray release. (DVD gift set, $39.92; Blu-ray gift set, $49.99; basic Blu-ray release, $28.99).

moreIt has long been clear that the way in which people interpret the world affects our emotional reactions. What has been less clear is exactly how such different interpretations lead to different emotions. This is the central question addressed by The Cognitive Structure of Emotions. Taking a cognitive science perspective, a systematic account is presented of the cognitive structures that underlie a wide range of different emotions. Detailed proposals about the factors that affect intensity are also offered. The authors propose three broad classes of emotions, each corresponding to a different attentional focus. One class consists of reactions to events, one of reactions to the actions of agents, and one of reactions to objects. By basing their analysis of the antecedents of emotions on an analysis of the perceived situational conditions that elicit them, the authors offer the prospect of accounting for variations in the emotions of different individuals, different cultures, and perhaps even different species. less

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
A goofy little game with some of the dialog. The interesting thing with this game is the anachronisms that pop up. I mean where else are you gonna find WWII soldiers in a dance club? Probably not the best put together game, but the novelty is enough for a playthrough.

RIBA awards Liverpool's Everyman Theatre the prestigious Stirling Prize
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Nicole Anderson.
The Everyman Theatre in Liverpool, England—a cultural institution with a democratic spirit and a history of producing thespian talent—has topped the competition including Zaha Hadid and won the much sought-after 2014 Stirling Prize from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The new building, designed by Haworth Tompkins, a London-based firm boasting of more than a dozen theater projects, replaces Everyman's former home in the shell of Hope Hall, a 19th century dissenter's chapel.
Restored Ruins of Astley Castle Win UK's Most Prestigious 2013 RIBA Stirling Prize
Thursday, October 3, 2013
Elizabeth Fazzare.
A few years ago, 12th-century-built Astley Castle was no more than a fire-ravaged, crumbling medieval structure in the English countryside.
Now, since its clever restoration by Witherford Watson Mann Architects in 2012, the Landmark Trust-sponsored residence in Warwickshire has been deemed "building of the year" as the winner of the most prestigious architectural prize in the United Kingdom, the Royal Institute of British Architects' 2013 Stirling Prize. With its fortified ruins artfully incorporated into contemporary construction as a luxury vacation home, RIBA President Stephen Hodder praised the Astley Castle restoration as "an exceptional example of how modern architecture can revive an ancient monument."
However, this year RIBA was unable to secure a sponsor to provide the £20,000 given to winners of the past, BD Online reported. This is the first year that the Stirling Prize comes with no cash value.
An Education: Zaha Hadid wins the Stirling Prize
Monday, October 3, 2011
Gwen Webber.
A South London state-funded school is a far cry from an international exhibition center, but in the last two years the annual Stirling Prize, organized by the RIBA, has recognized Zaha Hadid's designs for both as exceptional examples of British architecture. This year's winner, the Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton was the London-based practice's second consecutive win after last year's prize for the enigmatic Maxxi Museum in Rome. Hadid's design was up against a swathe of accomplished competitors including Hopkins' London Olympics Velodrome, the Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres in Stratford by Bennetts Associates and Chipperfield's Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany.

Hmmm, not sure what you mean Minn. Have you used one? There's nothing very odd or gross about it. The only real difference is men have to sit. And you have to open the trap door. Everything else happens as-per normal.

Absolutely agree! Raw excrement should never end up in the landfill, and that includes all those people who dump filled diapers, or dog crap into the garbage stream. If you can't fully compost the waste (which takes ~3 months I've read) then it should be dumped out at sea, just like a normal marine head (once you're out past legal limit). Either that or should be dumped on land away from human activity, buried in a shallow hole.
Why go fast, when you can go slow.

The Subaru designer responsible for drawing up the new Impreza has, it seems, been taken quietly to one side and had his hands forcibly hacked from his body.
This is the new Forester, and it's as conservative in appearance as the Impreza is, erm, novel.
That's not because it's a mere facelift, either - this is an all-new model based on the new Impreza platform and bigger than the outgoing Forester in every direction. Though it remains a five-seater, the new Forester is 85mm taller than its predecessor, as well as 75mm longer and 45mm wider.
That, of course, means plenty more interior space, which Subaru has filled with extra trays and storage areas for your dog leads, horse bridles and the like. The interior, though, is straight out the new Impreza, so it should be a utilitarian, functional affair.
It's good news in the engine department, because as well as the 2.5-litre flat-four in the Impreza, the Forester will also get Subaru's two-litre boxer diesel engine due to debut in the Legacy. True to form, the Forester will remain staunchly four-wheel drive, with transmission courtesy of a five-speed manual or four-speed auto.
The new Forester will be officially unveiled at the Detroit show later this month, and goes on sale in the UK towards the end of this year.

Recommended Route
Northeast Ridge Route—use of this route will help to reduce impacts to this Fourteener's fragile alpine environment. For detailed route information including pictures, maps, and elevation profiles, click here.
Route Information and Additional Resources
The trailhead is approximately 10 miles from Aspen at the Maroon Lake Campground. Maroon lake road is closed to personal vehicle travel from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM from mid-June to mid-September. At these times, a shuttle bus must be used. Contact the bus company at 970-925-8484 for the latest information on the shuttle.
The trail runs southwest towards Crater Lake (camping is restricted at Crater Lake to designated sites 1-11) and then cuts off south from the Crater Lake trail and climbs Pyramid's northeast ridge. The route up Pyramid is complex, has significant exposure, and contains dangerous loose rock. Loose rock is hazardous not just to the climber but to hikers below.
The above information does not replace the need to consult additional maps and Colorado Fourteener Guidebooks for more detailed route descriptions. We suggest checking multiple resources before departing on any hike. Keep in mind that not all guidebooks list this as a recommended route and that each guidebook's description or route name may vary slightly.
Peak Specific Environmental and Safety Concerns
Do not leave any ropes, hardware or slings along the route. These would be considered "permanent structures" and would be inappropriate for the Wilderness.
Pyramid is one of the most challenging and dangerous Fourteeners. Make sure you have knowledge and experience before climbing this peak.

The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the construction of the second vehicle assembly building at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, which is estimated to cost Rs. 363.95 crore, a press release said. The decision will help enhance the launch frequencies of the PSLV and the GSLV rockets by facilitating parallel integration operations. It will also provide redundancy for the existing vehicle assembly building for integration of GSLV Mark III and act as a prime integration facility for the third launch pad and future general launch vehicles.
Announcing the decision, an official press release said the second vehicle assembly building is targeted for realisation within 42 months.

Good Points
I feel that Astral cream is as good, if not better, than much more expensive moisturising creams. Why pay more?
Bad Points
I am finding it increasingly difficult to find on the shelves in the shops.
General Comments
I have been using Astral since I was 14 years old (ie for 50 years) and would not be without it. I feel that my skin looks less wrinkled and more youthful than that of many women my age. I always know when I have forgotten to put it on because my skin feels tight. The familiar blue pot feels like an old friend and I hope to be using the cream for many more years to come!

(India 1898 – 1994)
11.1 x 15.5 cm image/sheet; 12.5 x 16.1 cm card; 40.3 x 34.0 cm board
Ratnagar is credited with initiating the pictorialist movement in British India. In 1932, along with six other reknowned artist photographers, he founded 'Camera Pictorialists of Bombay' for the advancement of pictorialist photography and the recognition of photography as a fine art in India.
Ratganar would almost certainly have been in contact with photographers working in Australia. His work, and many others in this exhibition, was acquired by the Sydney Camera Circle, a group of photographers in the early 20th century who adopted many of the characteristics associated with Pictorialism. The Sydney Camera Circle gift to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, with its inclusion of work by famous international pictorial photographers illustrates how this aesthetic, with its soft hues and artistic outlook, was a world-wide phenomenon and how Australian photographers were well aware of the styles and attitudes of their international colleagues.

As Hans and I were driving along Route #333 towards Peggy's Cove, I saw this lovely spot along the road, with a pond. I asked Hans to pull over so I could take some pictures. Alonely seagull was perched on a rock. Nearby was a sign warning that this is a DUCKS CROSSING area. I've seen deer crossing, moose crossing, cows crossing, horse area, Amish Buggies area. I thought that this sign was so funny and had never seen one like it before.
Gave me my chuckle for the day!
Slip Slidin' Away....
I'm not channeling Paul Simon songs here, I'm warning you about walking around on the lighthouse rocks at Peggy's Cove.
One of the beautiful things about Peggy's Cove and visiting the lighthouse is that it is FREE. You just walk up and around, enjoying yourself, snapping your photos. And, you can also explore the rocks in and around the lighthouse.
DO realize that the rocks can be a bit steep and are often slippery. I am told that more than one tourist has slipped right on down into the sea. If you survive the fall, you'll probably drown in the stiff currents before anyone can get to you.
So, watch your step, or you'll be slip slidin' away.... right on into the cold Atlantic Ocean.
You are not the only visitor... not even close
Peggy's Cove is a tiny little hamlet. There is a road TO Peggy's Cove that turns off NS route 333 and that's how you get in and out. The turn off road ENDS at the lighthouse parking area and gift shop. Now, factor in that this tiny town receives some 750,000 visitors per year. Do the math, and consider that for much of the year, the weather doesn't support tourism. THAT means that when you're there in the late spring, summer or early fall, you will NOT be alone.
You'll have to work your way around lots of people, whether you're getting a bite to eat, doing a little shopping or trying to photograph the lighthouse.
I will tell you this - I am NO crowd person, and the large number of people prowling Peggy's Cove didn't seem to really annoy me. Maybe it was just the gentle beauty of the area, it IS perfect maritimes scenery. In spite of several busloads of tourist be ferried in and out of the town while we were there, we still had a nice time. And I actually got a few shots of the lighthouse sans people.... or almost sans people.
It's just too small!
With a population of 40, Peggy's Cove does not really count to the bigger towns of Nova Scotia. Being popular with tourists, it offers some conveniences of everyday life while others are missing completely. I thought of having lunch in Peggy's Cove, but the only restaurant I found was the far-too-expensive one opposite the lighthouse. Another one was visible from a distance, but I didn't go there. The same is true for grocery stores - you just don't find them there as the village is too small. So take your food with you or eat an overpriced meal in the restaurant mentioned above.
If you go hiking with your dog at Peggy's Cove (away from the "touristy" area), then watch out for porcupines. While you don't really have to worry about these animals yourself (since they aren't very fast moving), a dog who frightens and antaganizes one will likely have to take a very expensive trip to the vet.
Our dog had to get three quills removed after a hike here. We felt pretty lucky though after meeting a man who also had his dog there for the same reason. ... But his dog had hundreds of quills stuck in his body! The poor dog had to be drugged to sleep in order for surgery to be performed.

Exercise caution when walking over the boulders
Many visitors enjoy gazing at the panoramic view of breaking waves at Peggys Cove. But large waves often break further on shore than expected. Despite numerous signs warning of unpredictable surf (including one on a bronze plaque on the lighthouse itself), several incautious visitors each year are swept off the rocks by waves. Visitors should exercise caution when walking over the boulders and avoid steep slopes.
- Road Trip
Tourist crowds
During the peak summer season, Peggy's Cove is overwhelmed by huge tourist crowds and you will not be able to enjoy the idyllic experience here. To avoid the crowds, try to visit during the off peak season such as late autumn. I was there in Nov 2005 and there was no crowd (really feels great), but be prepared for colder weather.

- Seniors
Wind, rocks and ocean
The rocks at Peggy's Cove are very slippery, so be very careful while walking on them. Never walk too close to the edge or else you may fall into the ocean (this has happened before). Also, this place is very windy (and cold during late autumn and winter), so be prepared.
- Backpacking
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Budget Travel
Be careful on the rocks
Every year, people are killed or injured on the Peggy's Cove rocks, especially during storms when large waves can appear out of nowhere and catch people standing too close to the edge. One look at the way the waves slam into the rocks leaves little doubt that if you get sucked into the ocean, you'll be lucky if all you do is drown. Probably, though, you'll get dashed against the rocks and then if there's anything left you'll drown. Don't walk on any wet rocks!
Slippery When Wet!
For God sakes people, when you go to Peggy's cove, do not get too close to the water! Do not go on a part of a rock that has been wet!
There have been tourists who have been swept into the ocean by a big wave or by slipping. Not all of them were saved in time! Be careful!
- Budget Travel
- Adventure Travel
- Beaches
Don't get washes away!
The sea is very unpredictable here. You are out in the open and when the waves grab you, help will take a long time!

It wasn't a close game when Blue Wave coach Rich Pohle gave Cameron Bishop the nod to pitch.
Bishop, at the time, was a heavy-hitting outfielder, designated hitter and first baseman. He wasn't a pitcher, but he took the hill anyway, finishing the game's final inning.
The next day, his phone rang; a scout for the Seattle Mariners was on the line.
"I saw you pitch," Bishop recalls him saying. "We want you to come play on our scout ball team, come try out."
Seemingly overnight, Bishop – who'd already committed to play his college ball at UC Irvine – became a professional baseball prospect. He never anticipated being selected in the Major League Baseball Draft while still playing in high school.
Turns out the 6-foot-4 lefty could throw, and throw hard. A Mariners scout once clocked him throwing 89 mph.
"The first thing you look at in looking at Cameron is his frame," said Pohle, an assistant coach at Brea Olinda and an associate scout for the Mariners. "He's 6-4, 215 (pounds) and he throws left-handed with an athletic body. That's pretty much every scout's dream. … That really doesn't come around very much."
Bishop played on the Mariners' scout team that fall, and more organizations began contacting him. In December, he was called upon to pitch for yet another one of his travel teams. He remembers looking up from the mound that game and noticing 15 scouts holding radar guns in the stands behind the backstop.
"It was just all really crazy and kind of ridiculous," Bishop said, laughing, "because we didn't know, my family didn't know, what was going on."
Bishop, 18, started playing baseball when he was 5. He threw hard, but erratically, in Little League, and his pitching career didn't last long.
"I was the kid that would start crying on the mound, and I'd get in arguments with the umpire," Bishop said, smiling. "So my parents were like, 'You're done with this. We're just going to let you hit and that's it.'"
At Brea Olinda, Bishop's offense was touted, and he made varsity as a sophomore. He struggled that season, however, hitting .130.
Bishop played basketball up until that year, but quit so he could focus on baseball. The decision paid dividends when Bishop batted .424 his junior year, driving in 27 runs and earning Century League Offensive Player of the Year honors.
He verbally committed to UCI in July, signing his national letter of intent four months later.
In his first full season pitching at Brea Olinda, Bishop threw 52 innings, striking out 46 with an 1.35 earned-run average. He received the league's Pitcher of the Year award, and major league scouts projected him as a fifth-round pick in this month's draft.

because I can
Joined: Sep 2010
Location: San Francisco Bay area
Oddometer: 9,116
I would think the 37/11 would be about right for the R60. My '83 LS would cosistanly pull its 7650rpm redline in top gear and sometimes then some with its 32/9 but I guarantee you that a '81 on R65 runs a lot stronger than your R60. Hell, my R69S ran a lot stronger than any R60 I ever rode with. I don't think your R60 will pull a 37/11 but most people don't really care about that anyway. I like 32/10's on 900's. If your 1000cc 900 is running real strong, you'll like a 33/11. A 32/11 is faster than a 33/11? Just because a bike has taller gearing does not mean it will pull the taller gearing. There are a lot of airheads out there that would pull a faster top speed with a higher gear ratio than a 32/11! It would take one long down hill and a strong tail wind for many an airhead to pull redline with a 32/11. IMO, your wasting good engine if you can't pull at least redline in top gear but a lot of people love to gear them to the moon although they are never going to get out of orbit!

LUMBERTON — The voting period for the Farm Service Agency County Committee began on Monday and agency members will have until Dec. 2 to place their vote.
Committee members will provide a link between the agricultural community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to Giles Floyd, U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency County director. The committee helps deliver the agency's programs, applying knowledge and judgment to make decisions on conservation programs; incentive indemnity and disaster programs for some commodities; emergency programs and eligibility. Newly elected committee members and their alternates will take office on Jan. 1.
"The role and input of our county committee members is more vital than ever at a time when our country faces important choices regarding the funding and operation of our government," Floyd said. "New county committee members provide input and make important decisions on the local administration of disaster and conservation programs. With better participation in recent years, we have also seen promising increases in the number of women and minority candidates, helping to better represent the richness of American agriculture."
To be an eligible voter, farmers must participate in the Farm Service Agency program. A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm may also be eligible to vote. Agricultural producers submitted candidate nominations during the nomination period, which ended on Aug. 1.

DIA art appraised

DETROIT, MI (AP)-- Christie's has appraised nearly 2,800 city-owned artworks at the Detroit Institute of Arts to be worth a total of $454 million to $867 million.
The New York-based auction house spent months determining the collection's fair market value after Detroit filed for bankruptcy last summer. Its report to Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager, Kevin Orr, was released Thursday.
The city may be forced to sell off artwork to repay creditors as part of its bankruptcy. In its report, Christie's proposed five alternatives to the potential sale of its art.
The auction house valued one work, Van Gogh's "Self Portrait with Straw Hat," at between $80 million and $150 million.

I don't see how he's going to be able to make that fight. Too bad I was looking foward to it.
UFC middleweight fighter Chris Leben has been sentenced to 35 days in jail for violating his probation on an old DUI conviction. This news comes just a month before Leben is expected to take on Michael Bisping at UFC 85 "Back to Bedlam" on June 7, in London, England.
Leben is expected to be released on May 27, 2008, just 12 days before his fight in London, England. Leben, has been in jail since April 30th and will be given credit for jail time already served.
"The Crippler" turned himself in on April 30 to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office in Portland, to avoid problems obtaining a visa for his fight.
It has been confirmed with UFC the Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben match is off. Joe Silva had already had a back-up plan in case Leben wasn't able to do the fight. UFC expected Leben to be released today. At this point we can't confirm a replacement.
The UFC has announced that Michael Bisping will now face Jason Day at UFC 85. Jason Day is coming off a TKO victory over Alan Belcher at UFC 83.
I don't see how he's going to be able to make that fight. Too bad I was looking foward to it.
He gets out 12 days before the fight, plenty of time.
Also, Leben is the kind of guy who is ready to fight at a drop of a dime. He just better do some laps around the yard or his cardio will be his downfall.
Its the UFC not the crippler who will decide what happens with this fight I hope it sitll happens but it doesn't look good.
damn its gunna be even funnier now when he knocks out bisping. who knows maybe he will be like mike tyson and train his ass off in prison and when he gets out knock his opponent out quick ahha wishful thinking this really sucks
I just read that the fight is off and Leben won't be fighting Bisping. Thats really too bad.
Sucks, Bisping vs. Leben would have been a great matchup.
exactly why leben will never be champ, hes a screw up and he just cant beat it, once your set in your ways its hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
hes not going to fight fck fuck fuck
Yeah this sucks.
I wonder if he could have fought Bisping and then come get busted when he flys back to the U.S.A..
Better that way with fights being 3-6months for most fighters in the UFC. He could have KO'd the count and did a few months to celebrate yeah.
Thats really bad news – I'm going to London for this… first Chuck gets injured now this…. what about Nate Quarry, Patrick Cote or Alan Belcher… Bisping need to fight a striker!!!
that would have bean a great fight i think, there has been alot of changes to this card but so far they have been able to replace them with some good match ups, i hope they can pull one more out. DanP i think quarry would be another good replacement i hope they consider him.
i'm sure if it was in the states leben could have waited till after the fight to serve his sentence. but they wouldn't let him out of the country with a warrant on his name.
Jason Day ? dont remember him hope he comes to fight
Jason Day… WTF… thats a big disapointment… Leben is a big name and Day has only one fight in the UFC. I hope he stands & strikes with Bisping…
I don't blame Bisping… but I was hoping the UFC would trade like for like and give Bisping a stand up guy with heavy hands to test him… like a Nate Quarry or Patrick Cote!!!
Day must be half decent to beat Belcher in the 1st round… I guess we'll see
