Julie Johnston's wonderful World Cup nearly ruined by defensive mistakeEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 16 hrs ago
MONTREAL – Long after it happened, it looked like Julie Johnston wanted to cry all over again.
She walked into the media area after the United States' 2-0 semifinal win against Germany and faced the reporters' questions she knew she would get – about the mistake that could have led to her team's ouster from the Women's World Cup.
[FC Yahoo: Questionable calls go USA's way in semifinal win over Germany]
"Definitely emotional," she said, offering a smile. "Definitely screwed up. Definitely apologetic."

Johnston said she was so upset that she was "trying to breathe."
U.S. advances to Women's World Cup final with 2-0 win over GermanyEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 20 hrs ago

MONTREAL – Captain Carli, Captain America.
Carli Lloyd did it again, burying a penalty kick, hurling a Jersey-branded cussword into the bedlam and then setting up Kelley O'Hara for the clinching goal as the United States beat favored Germany 2-0 to advance to the Women's World Cup final on Sunday in Vancouver.
[FC Yahoo: Questionable calls go USA's way in semifinal win over Germany]
Lloyd's first highlight came only a few moments after Germany's lowlight, as Celia Sasic completely missed the net on her own penalty kick. That was the difference in the match, as the American defense locked it down for yet another shutout. Hope Solo and Co. have still only allowed one goal in the entire tournament.
"It's a spectacular stat, to be honest," head coach Jill Ellis said of the shutout streak, now at a remarkable 513 minutes.
"We did a good job getting behind their back line," Morgan said. "We could have exploited them a lot more."
Security at Women's World Cup not like it was for the men's tournamentEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 1 day ago
MONTREAL – For American fans, the Women's World Cup has been a fabulous tournament: hospitable cities, drivable distances from the U.S., mild summer weather, and a string of wins for the U.S. It's easy to notice how comfortable the entire event has been.
But is it too comfortable? Security at the venues has been less stringent than anything fans will encounter at an NFL stadium, and certainly more relaxed than at the men's World Cup or at the Olympics.
"Pretty easy," said John Weaver of West Lafayette, Indiana, who was in Ottawa for the U.S. quarterfinal match against China. "Slipped right through. We didn't have anything checked."
There was a bag check at the Ottawa venue, but fans weren't ushered through metal detectors, and the use of the electronic wand has been intermittent.
"This would be a bad situation for terrorism," Weaver said.
Gerstenecker said if this was a men's World Cup, the protocol would be "full mag, full bag," meaning every single fan would be wanded and every single bag would be checked, whereas in the women's event, the wand use is based on an undisclosed random system of choosing who to flag.
Why Hope Solo should break her media silence at Women's World CupEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 1 day ago
MONTREAL – Hope Solo has done one exclusive interview since the start of the Women's World Cup. It took place in Winnipeg and it was conducted by Julianna Raposo.
Raposo is an eighth grader. She is 13.
The interview came about because Raposo's physical education teacher at Henry G. Izatt Middle School in Manitoba sent a tweet to Solo months ago to inform her that one of his students could use some confidence and inspiration. "She was a little bit lost," said the teacher, Blue Jay Bridge. "She was in an emotional place." Solo, the United States' star goalkeeper, is Raposo's favorite athlete, so much so that she had written H-O-P-E S-O-L-O across her fingers. ("I thought it was Han Solo," Bridge said.)

So she decided to send an email to her teammates and open up even more.

Michael Sam back on CFL journey after dealing with 'personal matters'Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 2 days ago
MONTREAL – The coaches left the locker room, closed the door, and allowed Michael Sam to have a few moments in front of his teammates.
Sam addressed the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday night, telling them he was sorry for leaving the group, he needed some time to take care of his personal life, and now he is back and fully committed.
When he finished speaking, he got a rousing ovation.
Sam dreamed of Dallas or St. Louis or some other NFL city, but Montreal is likely a detour worth taking. In fact, becoming the first openly gay player in the CFL is probably his only way to get a real shot at becoming the first openly gay player to get a roster spot in the NFL. The NFL veterans combine in Arizona last spring showed some of Sam's combine issues – a little slow, a little small – and here on this field with two 50-yard lines and a premium on end rushing, he can prove himself as a player who can close space using his instincts as well as his feet. Game tape has always been Sam's best ally, and he can create plenty of it here on a professional level.
This may be Michael Sam's last chance, but it is still a pretty good chance.
For USWNT's Ali Krieger, love conquers all and hopefully top-ranked GermanyEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 2 days ago
MONTREAL – Liebe.
That's the word tattooed on Ali Krieger's left forearm. It means "love" in German: love of sport, love of team, love of time spent in that country.
Here, this week, liebe also means rivalry.

The United States defenseman has wanted to face the Germans from before the beginning of the Women's World Cup. She even called Germany out before the tournament started during the U.S. team's big sendoff in New York a month ago.

Meet the biggest U.S. women's national team fan at the World CupEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 3 days ago
MONTREAL – Big-time soccer isn't big-time soccer without the WAGs (wives and girlfriends). Except in the case of the United States at the Women's World Cup, it's HABs (husbands and boyfriends), and one of them is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds and starred for Jim Harbaugh and Chip Kelly.
That would be Zach Ertz, the Philadelphia Eagles tight end, who was staring at a TV in Ottawa on Friday afternoon, hanging on every pass of the Germany vs. France quarterfinal match and waiting patiently for his girlfriend – U.S. defender Julie Johnston – to take the field against China.
[Women's World Cup: Latest news | Scores and Schedule | Group standings]
"I've evolved into a soccer fan," he said. "Ever since we started dating."
And, yes, that was Ertz's new running buddy, Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans, watching right alongside. Holiday is the husband of Lauren Holiday, the American midfielder.
"Depends on in what," she smiled.
U.S. reaches Women's World Cup semifinals with 1-0 win over ChinaEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 4 days ago
OTTAWA, Ontario – Carli Lloyd posed for her Player of the Match photos, beamed into the bright lights and then was asked the difference between Friday night's game and all the others so far.
"Freedom," she said.
Head coach Jill Ellis met with Lloyd on Thursday at the team hotel and informed the midfielder that Morgan Brian would be added to the lineup as a defensive midfielder and Lloyd would be allowed to roam. Lloyd grinned recalling the moment, and she played like a lion unleashed.
[FC Yahoo: The USWNT difference maker finally shows up at the World Cup]
The U.S. did it with a collection of backups, too, as Megan Rapinoe and Lauren Holiday sat out and Abby Wambach subbed in the 85th minute. It was Amy Rodriguez setting the tone with an early chance, Kelley O'Hara threatening constantly and Brian playing a position she had never practiced before joining the national team. "Did I look comfortable out there?" she asked jokingly after the match.
There's nothing fake about issues with artificial turf at Women's World CupEric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 5 days ago
OTTAWA, Ontario – These are the days when the Women's World Cup becomes truly grueling. Fewer days off, better opponents, more pressure. And a persistent obstacle the men never have to face – the artificial turf.
"I have plenty of blisters on my toes," United States forward Alex Morgan said with a resigned smile on Thursday.
That's not a good thing for any player, let alone a star on the mend from knee and ankle ailments. "Turf achiness takes a little longer to recover from," Morgan said.
Michelle Heyman of Australia was even more blunt: "You wouldn't want to see the bottom of our feet after a game," she told one Australian newspaper. "They just turn white. The skin is all ripped off; it's pretty disgusting. It's like walking on hot coals with your skin ripping and slowly cracking, constantly."
Sweden's Nilla Fischer told Yahoo Sports the blisters were such a constant concern during the group stage that some of her teammates started taping up every single toe before going out onto the field.
For what it's worth, China would cash in on World Cup upset of U.S.Eric Adelson at Yahoo Sports 5 days ago
OTTAWA, Ontario – How important is China's match with the United States in the Women's World Cup quarterfinals on Friday? Follow the money.
The Chinese players got a bonus of one million yuan ($160,000) for making it this far and there are reports that a win over the Americans would bring an even bigger windfall for the "Steel Roses." One editor for a newspaper in China tweeted the team bonus would go as high as $644,000, a stark contrast from the players' base salary that is reportedly only $485 a month.
[FC Yahoo: Women's World Cup Live – Follow United States vs. China]
When asked about the possible payday here on Thursday, China defender Wu Haiyan smiled and professed not to know. "Thank you for telling me about this," she quipped at a reporter, breaking up the pressroom in laughter.

Plans for the Poseidon Resort Mystery Island, an all-suite hotel forty feet below water, seem to be progressing well. Sebastian's words of wisdom certainly stuck with us, and we agree that it's better down where it's wetter under the sea. We hope to be able to join our fishy friends in this underwater, bubble-shaped hotel soon. According to an article by Design-Milk, "the company has completed all of the necessary design and engineering for the subsea structures and is currently working to secure the capital necessary to begin construction," which is expected to take about 2 years to complete. The plans for this hotel include 25 suites, a spa, a restaurant, wedding chapel, and the opportunity to pilot one of four 3-passenger personal submarines!

Residents of a small fishing village on Mexico's Riviera Maya are up in arms about the expansion of a hedonistic swingers club in their town.
Puerto Morelos, a hamlet of just under 10,000 people located about 37 miles south of Cancun on the Yucatán Peninsula, is known as a tourist hot-spot for its secluded beaches, world-class scuba diving and water sports.
But since news broke last year that the town's family-friendly wedding destination Ceiba del Mar Resort and Spa would be transformed into Desire Resort and Spa -- a couples-only, clothing-optional swingers resort – locals have been concerned that tourism will take a hit.
Desire has another location in Puerto Morelos in a more secluded area six miles from town, but the new space, which opened this month, is on the strip of beach in between the town center and a hotel zone that is frequented by locals and vacationers.
The opening of the second Desire location comes as Mexico, and the Yucatán Peninsula in particular, prepare for December 21, the date in Mayan mythology that marks the end of a 5,125 year-long cycle, which some believe could mark a doomsday-like scenario. The day has been a big tourist pull, and the Mexico Tourism Board estimates that 52 million domestic and international tourists will visit the southeastern part of the country in 2012.
Tourist have already been flocking to sites that are catering to all type of tourist, from the luxury-seekers, to the foodie-types, to those looking for a more spiritual break. But local restaurant owners and tour operators say they're not interested in getting the type of tourist Desire is expected to attract, and don't want their businesses exposed to the potentially tawdry goings-on at the resort.
"People in Puerto Morelos don't like the idea of Desire. People here are conservative," Wilmo Zetina, the co-owner of Pelicanos, one of the town's largest restaurants and beach clubs, told FoxNews.com. ...

An alleged sex camp is causing controversy in a community in Greene County.
The place is located on Edgar Hill Road in Washington Township and is known as "the dungeon," the site of sex parties that charge members for a Bondage Domination and Sadomasochism (BDSM) experience.
That is according to the group's website which even advertises cutting and blood play. The site was taken down Tuesday. Critics say they know why.
"What goes on up there – I wouldn't even say on TV," Leonard Dean said. "I mean, it's all about sex and it's all dirty, about what you can get and it doesn't need to be here and the man makes a lot of money doing it."
Linda Dean lives on a piece of the land owned by her parents, Ron and Joann Valetti of Greensburg. She says they recently handed over camp operations to a business partner. The barn is locked, but she managed to snap several photos of the alleged sex devices inside.
"We just want it to stop," Linda Dean said. "I would have never in a million years thought that this was going on and I'm ashamed and I'm humiliated and it's a shame." ...

"It changed my life," my friend announced at dinner a few months ago. The "it" in question was a book, which she described as orgasmic. My interest was certainly piqued. In furtive late-night conversations and mid-day lunches over the next few months, the transformational qualities of the trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, by British author E.L. James, spread among the wives and mothers all over New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County. The series, which began as online fan faction before racking up hundreds of thousands of e-book downloads, are about an S&M relationship between a billionaire and a virginal young college student. What started across the Atlantic as one woman's desire to bravely express her lurid desires, had created sensual upheaval—as well as an ad hoc community of empowered women bound by their shared discovery of pleasure—in the unlikeliest of places: the suburbs. And I just had to document it.
Watch the video interview...

The end of Fifty Shades of Grey has stuck with me. I'm still disturbed by the hero using a belt on the heroine. Yes, she asked him to do it, so she could "understand" what he went through as a child and therefore, presumably, understand him better. That's a weak premise to begin with, frankly. I don't need to be shot in the head to know that it would hurt like H-E-double-hockey-sticks and maybe leave me brain damaged and scarred for life. So I really didn't buy the "you need to beat me with a belt so I can understand you" argument.
Other than that disturbing scene, the rest of the book was certainly compelling enough to keep me reading, It was also the first BDSM erotica I'd ever read. Which raised lots of questions in my mind about the genre. So I consulted with another expert on erotica and BDSM. (I also consulted with the wonderful Raelene Gorlinsky of Ellora's Cave. The link to that interview is at the bottom of this post.) Rachel Kramer Bussel, an author, editor and blogger, has written for several publications, including The Huffington Post, Salon, New York Post and San Francisco Chronicle, and is an editor at Penthouse Variations and a columnist for SexIs Magazine. She's also edited more than 40 anthologies devoted to erotica. In other words, she's an expert.
Joyce: Welcome to HEA, Rachel! What's your take on the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomena? It seems awfully tame to me, overall — but maybe that's why it's become so popular? It's like a mainstream (light) version of erotica?
Rachel: I think it's not that unconventional for romance, both the BDSM scenes and the storyline, but it's obviously struck a nerve, and with the print and audio versions and movie deal, will surely be reaching more people. Maybe the average reader just hasn't known where to look to find romance with a kinky twist, because there's plenty of it, from Megan Hart to Maya Banks to Emma Holly (and many more). Romance and erotic romance have both gotten much kinkier so people who are used to reading this type of material have been, on the whole, nonplussed by Fifty Shades of Grey, but I believe the appeal is the overall fantasy of giving up control and getting sexual satisfaction and love, not so much the specifics of how that happens. ...

Poorly written. Utterly ridiculous. WTF. These are just a few of the choice phrases unhappy readers are tossing around in response to the astoundingly best-selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey.
Others insist the story is flawless, heartbreaking and deep despite the pornographic prose.
And whether you love it or hate it, there's no doubt this Twilight fan fiction has created a sex-crazed frenzy and made BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism ) the hot topic of discussion after kindergarten play dates (hello, mommy porn).
So what's the real story behind the appeal of this deliciously dirty novel?
Let's start with the taboo factor. There's no question Fifty Shades is dirty, raunchy and sexually charged—some critics even call it "exploitative, sadistic porn." But ultimately, the secretive factor is part of the appeal. ...

BDSM has gained mainstream attention lately, thanks in part to "Fifty Shades of Grey," a book with an S&M relationship at its center. Maureen Dowd even devoted her latest column to the book and the criticism it's garnered from actual practitioners of BDSM (which stands for bondage and domination, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism). And this weekend, safe and consensual BDSM sex was a major topic at MomentumCon, a yearly convention on sexuality, feminism, and relationships. Shift talked to some of the presenters from that conference and other experts about what everyone can learn from bondage and the people who do it.
1. Learn to be okay with "no."
Kitty Stryker, a sex worker and performer who's an expert on bondage and kink, among other things, tells Shift that if someone says "no" to you in a sexual context, "it doesn't mean you're a bad person," or that "you're hideous." It just means they don't want to do what you want to do right now. For kinky and non-kinky people alike, says Stryker, learning to be okay with this and not take it personally is key.
2. Make it okay to say no.
This one goes hand in hand with the first tip. Stryker explains that if someone says no to something you want to do (whether it's kissing or dressing up like superheroes), you shouldn't say "aww, that's okay" in a way that sounds "really bummed." That sends the message that it is not, in fact, okay. Instead, she suggests something like "thank you for taking care of yourself." The point is not to make your partner feel bad for setting boundaries. Says Stryker, "I think we forget that if someone can't say no, their yes isn't really meaningful." ...

WHEN I was 14, I sneaked into the empty bedroom of my scholarly older brother to poke around in his bookcase. Tucked behind his law school tomes and Winston Churchill memoirs, I found the "Story of O."
I was quickly submerged in the submissive: masks, chains, brands, whips, blindfolds, piercings.
In the classic bondage novel written in 1954 by the French author Anne Desclos under the name Pauline Réage, a beautiful, young fashion photographer agrees to be the slave of a powerful master who turns her into "a mannequin of perversion," as The Times's 1966 review said.

Dombkowski, K.J., Paula M. Lantz, and G.L. Freed. 2004. "Risk factors for delay in age-appropriate vaccination." Public Health Reports, 119(2): 144-155.
Objective. To estimate the risk factors of children experiencing delay in age-appropriate vaccination using a nationally representative population of children, and to compare risk factors for vaccination delay with those based on up-to-date vaccination status models. Methods. The authors compared predictors of delay in age-appropriate vaccination with those for children who were not up-to-date, using a nationally representative sample of children from five years of pooled data (1992-1996) from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Immunization Supplement. Duration of delay was calculated for the DTP4, Polio3, MMR1 doses and 4:11 series using age-appropriate vaccination standards; up-to-date status (i.e., whether or not a dose was received) was also determined. Adjusted odds ratios were estimated using multivariate logistic regression for models of vaccination delay and up-to-date vaccination status.
Results. Absence of a two-parent household, large family size, parental education, Medicaid enrollment, absence of a usual provider, no insurance coverage, and households without a telephone were significantly related to increased odds of a child experiencing vaccination delay (pless than or equal to0.05).
Conclusions. Many of the risk factors observed in models of vaccination delay were not found to be significant in risk models based upon up-to-date status. Consequently, risk models of delays in age-appropriate vaccination may foster identification of children at increased risk for inadequate vaccination. Populations at increased risk of inadequate vaccination can be more clearly identified through risk models of delays in age-appropriate vaccination.

Toronto Blue Jays Recall Brad Lincoln, Disable Josh Johnson
The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled right handed pitcher Brad Lincoln from their Triple-A Buffalo minor league affiliate to serve as a middle reliever. In other moves, the Blue Jays were forced to place starter Josh Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a triceps injury. In an unrelated move, Justin Germano has been designated for assignment and will have to clear waivers to have a shot at remaining with the Toronto organization. The move was made to clear room for Ricky Romero who will be the starter Friday.

Summer Concert Series
Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a performance by the Perth Citizens' Band at 7:30 p.m. at the bandstand behind the Town Hall.
Info: http://www.perthband.ca
When: Thu July 9, 2015 and July 23, 2015
All concerts are FREE to the public and are held in historic Stewart Park just behind the Perth Town Hall in downtown Perth.
The Perth Citizens' Band has been an integral part of the musical and cultural heritage of the Town of Perth since 1852 and is the oldest continuously operating band in Canada. The continuity of the band from 1852 has been recorded in a book entitled, " Sound the Trumpet " written by local archivist, Daphne Overhill, published in 2002.
The band is comprised of members from Perth and surrounding areas of Lanark County. Every Tuesday night at 7:30 the band meets for rehearsal in a specially designated room upstairs in the Perth Town Hall. A wide variety of music is rehearsed from the bands' extensive library, ranging from classics by Mozart, Handel etc. through the Gay Nineties, The Swing Era, the Beetles, Broadway, and contemporary works. Band membership is about 50 and includes all ages from teens to seniors with skill levels from beginners to professional. Some members also contribute time to other local groups such as the "Saints and Sinners" , The Perth Community Choir, and The Last Duel Brass Quintet. The band is directed by Brian Tackaberry, a professional high school music teacher.
Music is performed in public throughout the Town and surrounding areas including venues such as churches, schools, special events, parades and an annual summer concert series on the bandstand in Stewart Park behind the Town Hall. Historically, the band has played at Ontario's Bicentennial celebrations in Toronto, the sending of the Perth's Mammoth Cheese to The Chicago World's Fair and more recently, at The Governor Generals Garden Party at Rideau hall and the Town band Festival in Orono, Ontario.
The free concerts in Stewart Park are performed every other Thursday at 7:30 PM starting in the second week of June through the third week of August and include a Strawberry Social starting at 7 PM for the second concert. The band does a number of parades throughout the year including the Perth Fair Parade, parades for various local celebrations in other towns and typically four Santa Claus Parades in various towns. A major part of the bands funding for operating expenses comes from these parades. The band also does an annual Christmas concert, an annual " Last Night At The Proms Concert " plus a number of other concerts during each year.
The band works during rehearsal times and socializes during breaks. Many lasting relationships are formed. Band membership includes married couples and children all volunteering their time for their own benefit and for the benefit of their audiences.

CHOICE TABLES; A Raw Bar Renaissance in Boston
Published: March 28, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
Remarkably inventive, Ting Yen periodically creates different types of sushi and sashimi. He also likes to get suggestions from his customers and then list them under Customer Creations on the menu. Oishii has just procured a liquor license; there is also a selection of juices, sodas and green tea. Prices are extremely reasonable and the sushi portions are generous. Although traditional etiquette dictates that sushi pieces be eaten in one bite, you might have to down his in two.
Uni at Clio
Two years ago, after earning praise for his French-influenced food at the formidable Clio restaurant, Ken Oringer decided to create an intimate sashimi lounge in the small sunken room in his restaurant in the Eliot Suite Hotel on Commonwealth. Faux leopard carpeting complemented by black wooden tables and chairs covered in olive velvet give the room a lively, yet elegant cachet. The black marble and wood-paneled raw bar takes center stage as the gorgeously plated dishes emerge.
Mr. Oringer, with the aid of a sous-chef, creates magic as he labors over each dish. The menu changes daily, as nine seafood purveyors deliver delicacies from all over the world. The best comes at a steep price.
On a blustery evening in January, my two companions and I started our meal with a question. Should we put ourselves in the hands of the chef and do a tasting, as our charming waiter told us many customers do? Or should we order from the menu?
We decided to do a little of both. The first dish, kumamoto oysters, was stunning. Fresh raw oysters on the half-shell were arranged atop a mound of ice in a black ceramic bowl, decorated with a pansy flower and fresh Japanese fruits. Each mollusk was drizzled with ponzu (Japanese citrus mixed with soy sauce and vinegar), soy sauce and caviar. Even more impressive was the Santa Barbara sea urchin in a green-apple wasabi foam, held together by a white nori crust. Anago tempura, freshwater eel in a light batter served with a velvety shirred egg in its shell and seasoned with green tea salt, followed. The flavor was extraordinary.
We oohed and aahed with the presentation of each dish. Other favorites included the fish taco (a choice pick of the evening) -- fried miniature wafer-thin taco shells filled with grilled halibut, avocado cream and tomato salsa; crunchy Maine lobster with spicy Singapore black pepper sauce; and lobster sashimi with a fresh jalapeño-cilantro dressing. The portions, however, are not large here, so be prepared to order a number of dishes.
Six types of sake have been carefully selected, but are expensive. We liked the fragrant, light house brand ($5 for a cup). The two desserts of citrus soup and hot chocolate beignet (fried doughnut with a creamy chocolate interior) were superb, served by the knowledgeable and attentive staff.
Oga's Japanese Cuisine
You would hardly expect one of the sleekest and most fashionable raw bar/Japanese restaurants in Boston to be in a strip mall in suburban Natick, about a 30-minute drive from the center, but such is the case with Oga. This extraordinary find, which opened two years ago, has earned a devoted clientele for Toru Oga, the owner and chef.
From the moment you walk in, Oga seduces with its stylish contemporary décor with Japanese overtones. Stainless steel-topped tables are separated from the marble and wood sushi bar by a glass partition decorated with poles of bamboo. There are also several private booths and one large Japanese-style sunken table room. On most nights, the charismatic Mr. Oga can be seen deftly rolling some of his imaginative sushi creations. His cooking reflects a marriage of traditional Japanese dishes with East-meets-West specialties.
My husband, another couple and I started the meal with two soups. Oga's clam chowder (described on the menu as ''New England traditional chowder meets Japanese taste'') was velvety smooth, seasoned with white, saikyo-miso paste. Japanese bouillabaisse called dobin mushi was generously studded with morsels of seafood in a clear dashi broth. Usuzukuri sushi, paper-thin slices of fluke, were beautifully arranged, fanlike, on a plate and served with a ponzu sauce.
Hamachi suzukuri, thinly sliced yellowtail dotted with a dollop of toasted sesame oil and red chili paste, was delicious. All of the sushi offerings highlighted the sweet and occasionally briny flavors of fresh, raw seafood.
On a tip from our helpful waiter, we ordered hamachi kama, which is not on the menu but is usually available. Yellowtail cheeks and the neck are roasted to a flaky tenderness. One of my dining partners dove into the meat with his chopsticks and skillfully cleaned it to the bones. Tempura was ethereal, crisp and grease-free.
Oga offers an impressive selection of sake and beer and a small but fine wine list.
B&G Oysters Ltd.
Barbara Lynch, chef, and her partner-manager, Garrett Harker, have opened a charming oyster bar and a butcher shop and wine bar simultaneously in neighboring brownstones in Boston's South End.
B&G Oysters has been an immediate success, and the formula is fairly simple: a great choice of pristinely fresh, raw oysters (on the day we went there were around 12 varieties) and a limited menu of classic dishes like Maine lobster roll, a standard B.L.T. plus a variation with lobster, and fish and chips. There are also some unusual items like the spicy salty shrimp and baked scrod with black truffle crust.
The place has a cozy, upscale diner-chic feel with its open stainless steel kitchen. It seats just 36 people, and at dinnertime there can be quite a wait; lunch was relaxed. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Our dining experience, however, was a bit hit-or-miss. Raw oysters were terrific and juicy, while the lobster bisque was dark, heavy and rather unpleasant. A salad of roasted pear (delicately crystallized) and goat cheese garnished with toasted hazelnuts and fried onion rings was phenomenal, as was seared halibut with salsify purée and spinach. We were disappointed by the rouille with the mussels, expecting it to be garlicky and spicy. Instead it was sweet and red peppery.
Desserts, especially the butterscotch pudding and chocolate devil's cake, were excellent. The selective, reasonably priced wine list is heavily French.

And so yet again, the Victorian trout season closure is approaching for another year. Rivers all over the state will close as of midnight Monday the 10th of June until midnight Friday the sixth of September. During this time, anglers must not take or possess trout or salmon in rivers and streams (except those waters designated for 'sea-run trout' see below).
This is a sad time of year for us freshwater anglers but then again, it is also a great time of year as millions of trout leave the lakes and head upstream to spawn. The next few weeks around Victoria and going to be amazing for trout anglers as this is the time of year in which anglers have the opportunity to catch their trophy fish.
While the larger rivers will see a larger run of fish making headway upstream, don't forget about the smaller streams. Often, smaller streams will produce some very big fish and it is not uncommon to catch fish in excess of 10 pounds. In saying that, some of the most productive waters are those above a lake or dam. It is these rivers and streams that will see many of the larger fish that have inhabited the lakes leave to spawn. Anglers fishing above the lakes generally catch top quality fish.
Many different techniques will be successful at this time of year and the big bucks do become very territorial. Lure tossers should be up sizing their lures at this time of year with lures as larger as 110mm working well. Of course, stick to rainbow and brown trout patterns as they are deadly.
Should you be flicking a fly, glow bugs take the cake and if you're up for something a little left field, try using a spin rod and tie a glowbug to the end of the leader, followed by a nymph attached to a 30cm length of 6lb which is attached to the glowbug hook. The trailing nymph will catch a lot of fish. You will require a little weight though, so it pays to place two or three AAA size split shot sinkers onto the leader above the glowbug. A highly effective rig, this is one for all to try.
The end of season is approaching quickly, if your keen on catching a trophy, now is the time to get amongst nature. It may be cold wading the rivers but can be some of the most visual and exciting styles of fishing any angler can endure.
Below is a list of the rivers that do not close as they are known for carrying sea-run trout. These can still be fished throughout the year from their specified areas.
Sea-run Trout Rivers
The specified sections of these waters contain populations of sea-run brown trout that provide salmonid angling opportunities during the salmonid closed season:
• Aire River – downstream of the Great Ocean Road Bridge.
• Avon River – downstream of the Stratford Railway Bridge.
• Ford River – downstream of the Great Ocean Road Bridge.
• Gellibrand River – downstream of the Great Ocean Road Bridge.
• Hopkins River – downstream of the Hopkins Falls.
• Merri River – downstream of the Bromfield Weir.
• Mitchell River – downstream of Princes Highway Bridge at Bairnsdale.
• Moyne River – downstream of the Toolong Bridge.
• Tambo River – downstream of the Bruthen Road Bridge.
This week we introduce a new writer to the fishingboating-world team, Ben Knaggs. Ben is a highly regarded fishing writer and is an editor himself. Ben now resides in Exmouth, WA and will be bringing many entertaining and informative fishing articles from Western Australia directly to your computer, Iphone or IPAD on a monthly basis.
This week Ben explains just how exciting it is to witness such crazy fishing and describes how mind blowing it is to catch fish amongst all the mayhem.
Lee Brake goes in search of Australia's most common species, the humble flathead. The central and north Queensland coasts are currently going through a transition period where, as temperatures change, anglers need to adapt their approach to maximize their success. Lee Brake explains how to do this to be successful when it comes to hunting frogs.
Gary Brown has left our shores bound for Europe for a few weeks. While he is trampling all over, he will be popping into internet café's and uploading his articles to keep you keen for more fishing in New South Wales. This week Gary looks at the techniques used to catch luderick from the rocks. Luderick are a lot of fun to catch and there are quite a few specialised techniques required to catch them as Gary explains.
Having received a very weird email from Chaparral boats, I was whisked away and flown to a secret location in Gippsland, Victoria to have a play on some very new and impressive boats they have imported from the USA. With the keys put into my hand and the words 'Go and have fun' spoken, it didn't take me long to put the new Robalo 180 to the test. If you're in the market for an 18 footer, this boat is worth a serious look.
Until next week,

Notre Dame Avenue. One last look at Luke's Machinery and its surroundings. Blah blah needless demolition, yada yada urban fabric. Zzzzz.
Notre Dame Avenue. One last look at Luke's Machinery and its surroundings. Blah blah needless demolition, yada yada urban fabric. Zzzzz.
Notre Dame is an interesting street. It's one of the main arteries in and out of Downtown, and has stretches that are very urban and walkable. Still, it's never been a street that you'd particularly want to walk down. Too many breaks from the urban fabric—in the form of surface parking lots—kill the momentum. But still, every time I'm on Notre Dame I always see loads of potential.
City Council sees potential to, but through 1980s-colored glasses. Despite the recommendation of city planners, council has approved a decidedly anti-urban proposal by Independent Jewelers that will seriously alter the corner of Notre Dame and Isabel.
And don't forget about the Manitoba Hydro/Calvary Temple/Luke's Machinery clusterfuck that deadened another section of the street (Notre Dame and Adelaide). And this one was in the Exchange District no less!
So as always, the city planners get ignored by council and the city reverts to the lowest common denominator. Despite what Jeff Browaty or Russ Wyatt think, this is not progress.
Dublin Avenue. Perhaps it's because it's close to my day job, but I've photographed this place quite a few times over the years. Of course, it doesn't look as cool today as it once did.

From the top: Beliveau Shopping Centre, about as charming a strip mall as strip malls can be; a couple of shots from Beliveau Road near Dakota; some seemingly Soviet-era satellites on Chesterfield (I recently posted a couple of black and white shots of these, but I thought I'd revisit the spot and try color); the cold beer vendor on Beliveau; a trio of shots of 660 Dakota; 60 Chesterfield; and last but not least, 30 Chesterfield.
Here's a series of photos centered around Notre Dame and Adelaide, where Luke's Machinery (a series of three connected buildings) currently awaits demolition. Much like the old Smart Bag building, Luke's was an occupied building that was needlessly emptied out to make way for demolition. In this case, it's to make way for a surface parking lot. I won't bore you with the mechanics of the deal, but the bottom line is that the result will be a net loss in the built environment in Downtown Winnipeg. This was not a building of historic significance, but that's not the issue. Again, this is Downtown Winnipeg (the Exchange District no less!), where bylaws to prevent this sort of thing are said to exist, and the city purportedly has a vested interest in drawing people to work, live and play. Lack of parking isn't the issue, folks. It's a lack of everything else that's the problem. Another void in the built environment is really just another nail in the coffin.
Shame on all those that allowed this to happen, namely the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba Hydro and Calvary Temple.
A sunny day on Notre Dame Avenue (unlike a previous walk of the stretch I took one time). From the top: A couple from the corner of Notre Dame and Edmonton; a faceless building at the corner of Notre Dame and Ellen; the mysterious Modern Brush Company; and Hong Kong Snack House. I've never been to the last one, but I did notice lots of in and out traffic, so perhaps it's worth checking out….
A look at Able Wholesale (Notre Dame Avenue) and surroundings on a particularly dark and gloomy day. Good timing here, as there was a small break in the clouds as I was passing by; couldn't resist the good light.
Isabel Street.
From the top: Pop's Burger, 1871 Ness, 1879 Ness and 277 Ferry.
A few shots from late March from miscellaneous areas around the city. From the top: Hambo's (Notre Dame Avenue); Sungreen Food (Notre Dame Avenue); Hydro Substation (Logan Avenue); Independent Jewellers (Notre Dame Avenue); and Northgate Mall (McPhillips Street).
A look at the back side of St. James Street south of Dublin Avenue.
Century Street.

The first 10 games of the Washington County Commanderettes' season haven't gone exactly to head coach Bernard Smalley plans, but there are signs of improvement as the team recovers during the winter break.
"We're not happy with that 2-8 record," said Smalley. "You're not going to beat any teams shooting 16 percent. But over the last four games, there's been a lot of improvement. Starting with Bethlehem, we shot the ball better, almost 48 percent from the floor at home."
Shooting may have improved in recent games, but injuries have plagued the Commanderettes as Sarah Godshall, Courtney Guy and Shelley Medley are all on the mend.
Godshall returned to the team Tuesday after recuperating over the Christmas break. Guy is being treated for some torn cartilage in her knee and Medley has re-injured the knee she had surgery on last year.
The injuries have given other players a chance to show what they can do, something that Smalley is glad to see.
"Some of these young kids like Kenya Turner, Kayla Edelen and Rikki Fry gave us some big minutes in the Christmas tournament. It's developing a deeper bench for us. When we get some players back, hopefully we can play 10 or 11 girls," Smalley said.
Junior guard Pooh Railey has emerged as the top offensive force for WC, scoring 104 points in the eight games she has played in for a 13 points-per-game average.
"Pooh plays hard," added Smalley. "She's been out three games with a bruised knee. I thought she played really well in the Caverna tournament, she's played consistent and she's carrying the load right now."
Freshman Shay Yocum follows with 78 points in 10 games for 7.8 ppg and Morgan Burton is averaging 5.9 ppg, recording 59 points in 10 games.
The Commanderettes are facing a tough test this week with four district match-ups in the coming week, starting with Bethlehem this Friday night.
"That's an important game," Smalley said. "We want to stay out of that number four seed. Right now, Nelson County is heads and shoulders above the other three teams in the district. If we can defeat Bethlehem Friday night, then we could stay out of the number four seed."
If Washington County hopes to do well in district play later in the year, now is the time they need to be consistent in scoring, gain some ground in the standings and solidify their defense.
Smalley added, "If we can get a balanced attack over the new year, we can win a few games."
The Commanderettes will host Adair County Thursday night with JV action starting at 6:30 p.m. and varsity at 8 p.m before resuming district play Friday night when they take on Bethlehem on the road in the second game of a boy/girl doubleheader in Bardstown.

Diverse Internet of Things trials are forming a sea of noise that often obscures the business opportunities available, according to Gartner, Inc.
"As the Internet of Things grows rapidly, it is linking millions of assets, including devices, people and places, to deliver and share information, enhancing business value and competitive advantage, and creating new business opportunities," said Hung LeHong, vice president and Gartner Fellow. "In this early and emergent phase of development, entrepreneurs are experimenting across such a diverse range of sectors, applications, business models and technologies in their efforts to uncover value. This creates confusion and makes it difficult for others to easily identify the potential in their own geographies, industries and business sectors."
Mr. LeHong said that although the Internet of Things has a very wide applicability, some enterprises may be too quick to dismiss the value of the Internet of Things in their enterprises because the examples of what other enterprises are doing don't match their own environments.
"A recycling company or vending machine operator, for example, may not find any applicability for the Internet of Things when reviewing how a hospital is connecting its patient-monitoring equipment to the Internet of Things. However, on closer inspection, these companies will discover that the reason the hospital has connected its equipment is to cut costs on nurses' rounds to monitor patients," explained Mr. LeHong. "Any company operating remote devices has opportunities to use this same model. Remote assets that require manual rounds for the purposes of emptying or replenishment, such as recycling bins or vending machines, can benefit from the same approach the hospital took. The underlying commonality is the business case to reduce the costs from doing the rounds by connecting assets to monitor status."
Despite their diversity, Gartner believes that all current examples can be simply categorized into four basic usage scenarios, each of which presents clear business opportunities for end-user organizations.

Bohemian stylePosted on 05 / 18 / 2015
Both the building and the interior felt bohemian and quite cozy. When I would choose food was most leftovers, and it was badly organized. The plates were dirty and the surroundings were unhygienic. The food was just too strong to eat, which resulted in that I had to leave most of it. Many people have been recommending this place.
Cons: Unhygienic , Dirty plates, Too strong food

Aroma of mango. Tastes like a diverse basket of tropical fruits. Sweet, like ripe fruits. Balanced with good acidity. What's missing, at least now, is any non-fruit complexity. Who am I to say how it will age? But I wonder.
Fresh, lithe and sweet. Citrus and honey on the nose. Sweet melons on the palate. Sugar is balanced with nice acidity. Just delicious.
Wine & Spirits Top 100 Tasting (City Walk @ Metreon, San Francisco, CA): Chenin sweet nose; fresh white fruits, minerals. Very nice, very young. 91-92
Light nose.
A gentle light balanced wine.

Obama Blames Boehner for Shutdown (Full Speech Here)
Updated: Thursday, October 3 2013, 03:04 PM EDT
President Barack Obama says House Speaker John Boehner is the only thing standing in the way of reopening the federal government.
Obama is speaking at a small business just outside of Washington on the third day of the shutdown. He says Boehner is preventing a vote on a funding bill because he doesn't want to anger "extremists" in his party.
The president is calling on Boehner to quickly hold a vote on a bill free of extra demands. The president met with Boehner and other congressional leaders at the White House for more than an hour Wednesday, but no agreement was reached.
Obama says the longer the shutdown goes on, the worse the impact on the U.S. economy will be.

- " Windows didnt lock in two of the private rooms, but we ended up staying in one of them because we didnt have other options. We ended up packing one of the suitcases and left it behind the reception because of this. Water pressure of the shower was very weak and it took five mins for the water to heat up. Elevator buttons were tricky and really annoying (however, they informed about it). Heater didnt work so the room was really cold. On the bright side location was awesome. "
- 30 Oct 2014 Anonymous Norway
- " Hostel is very well located, which turns out important when you consider that getting around in San Francisco is not exactly easy. Ambiance was nice, but showers and restrooms were clearly undercleaned in my opinion. If you have 2 bathrooms on a 25-room-floor, cleaning them only once a day may not suffice! "
- 19 Oct 2014 Anonymous Brazil
- " Good location although the districts nearby are slightly dodgy! But perfect location for transit and shopping. Quite a busy hostel but it's not really a party hostel, the lounge is quite quiet at times. Rooms back onto main streets which are often busier at night than in the day so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Hostel feels very recently renovated! "

- " The breakfast was cleared away before 10am both mornings we ventured down there. The windows in rooms didn't lock and this would void travel insurance. "

- 19 Sep 2014 Penelope Australia
- " Nice hostel, no complaints. Maybe cleanliness could be better, the shower was a bit dirty. Breakfast was nice, though eating bagels for a week is not good for my stomach. Not a party hostel, atleast out dorm was very peaceful which is a good thing. "

You have a choice of super markets, trader joes target etc. A big wallgreens and you are right beside macys etc. Breakfast is great as are the doorms. Super charging facilities. There isna socket and reading light for each bed. "

Larry Brooks at the New York Post says that after witnessing the Staal Family Reunion in Carolina on Thursday, the Rangers should be worried — very worried — about losing Marc Staal to the Hurricanes when the defenseman become a free agent in two years. Staal's cap hit is $3.975 million per. ...to be honest, the last thing I'm worried about right now is whether Staal stays with the Rangers in two years. I'm way more interested in his health and if he'll be a part of this year's playoff run. ...the Rangers have been able to get by without Staal so far, but I think they're really going to miss his ability to battle against Ovechkin in their first round match-up.

Sheldon McClellan scored 25 points as Texas jumped out to an early lead and never trailed during a 69-46 victory over Coppin State on Monday night in a Maui Invitational opening-round game. The Longhorns (2-0) used a stifling defense to overcome 26 turnovers and 55 percent free-throw shooting. Coppin State (0-2) shot just 25.5 percent from the floor and made only 14 field goals, five of them 3-pointers. Ioannis Papapetrou added 10 points and nine rebounds for Texas, whose 12-player scholarship roster consists of five sophomores and seven freshmen. The Longhorns outrebounded Coppin State 50-25 and led by as many as 27 points late in the second half. Patrick Cole led Coppin State with 15 points, but made just 3 of 12 field goals, all of them 3-pointers. Troy Franklin added 14 points and had eight steals for the Eagles.

Superpark 15
Superpark 15 is a wrap. It was, again, one for the books. With just half a day of wild weather, it really couldn't have gone much better. At least that seemed to be the consensus. Few left injured. Many went massive. Call it a success. And Mt. Bachelor might've been the best spot Superpark's taken place in yet. So says Snowboarder Mag filmer Gary Tyler McLeod: "Obviously nothing compares the the Northwest, Bachelor, the natural terrain, it's like uhhhh... a Supernatural park." See for yourself.

Skadden has been named Washington, D.C.'s "Litigation Department of the Year" for Products Liability by The National Law Journal (June 29, 2015). The publication noted Skadden's role crafting novel and noteworthy defense strategies for companies such as Altria, Johnson & Johnson and Merck.
Skadden has received two awards recognizing our European attorneys' representation of Italian clients in major cross-border matters: "Law Firm of the Year/Italy Desk" from Premio Le Fonti (June 25, 2015) and "Law Firm of the Year — Italian Commitment" from Legalcommunity (June 30, 2015). These awards follow Skadden's selection as "Italy Desk of the Year" by TopLegal in 2014.
Skadden has received the International Legal Alliance Award for "Best Overall U.S. Corporate Law Firm" for the second year in a row. A panel of 150 general counsel of Fortune 500 companies made the selection, which was announced on June 24, 2015. Skadden also was named a leading firm in the areas of Competition, Project Finance and International Arbitration.
At the Financial Times annual "Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers" awards ceremony (June 10, 2015), Skadden won the "Innovation in Finance Law" award for international firms, in recognition of our representation of Cogobuy Group in its IPO and listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Skadden has won the award both years since its inception.
In the latest edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business (May 2015), Skadden received the most top rankings among law firms, including:
Skadden also received a 2015 Chambers USA "Award for Excellence" for having the nation's top tax practice.
