Its Name Is Earl
Boston Common: Now with Lunch
It's been totally de-bathroom'd.
The owners (thankfully) gutted and sanitized the entire space, which has been inactive since the 1970s. In place of toilets and sinks: ovens for baking daily artisan bread, a takeout window and electricity (which it previously lacked).
If you've got four minutes, you've got time for a bite.
Let's say it's your lunch break, and you're craving Angus roast beef and sharp cheddar (this happens a lot at lunch). You'll order The Original 1762, which is served piping hot with a slathering of creamy horseradish sauce. Or if you're building up your large-bird-consumption levels before Thanksgiving, go for the Earl's Club (roasted turkey, smoked bacon, aged swiss).
Once the warmer weather hits, they'll open for breakfast.
When they do, you'll start your day in the park. Soaking up the killer views of trees and grass. Breathing the fresh air. Eating a morning breakfast sandwich, with fresh-cracked eggs, bacon and cheddar. Maybe admiring a pack of squirrels at play.
Don't be fooled: they're plotting against you.

Should the All Blacks play away tests against Pacific Island teams?
Relevant offers
OPINION: Sometimes, even in the venal, selfish world of professional sport, you just have to do the right thing by the kids.
On Monday night Henry Stowers and Jackson Garden-Bachop played in the World Junior Championship. One represented Samoa, one represented New Zealand. It could have been the other way round. The two were best mates at Scots College. They love their rugby. Just what must they think of the fact that the All Blacks have never played a test in Samoa.
There were kids all over the North Harbour pitch with hearts that come from a Pacific home. Tevita Li, the likely star of the tournament, is of Tongan blood, like Jonah Lomu and Israel Folau. Nathaniel Apa, who is playing for Samoa, represented New Zealand schools last year.
The Baby Blacks are full of teenagers who have families from the islands. The mix of Pacific, Maori and Pakeha is a potent one, the lifeblood of the All Blacks. And yet the national union pleads poverty as an excuse for not playing in Samoa.
Greed would be the more apposite word. Even John Key, the champion of monetary morality and currently touring Samoa, reckons we should give them a game. But Steve Tew, the chief executive of the NZRU, says there is no room in the calendar.
This is not true. Two years ago the NZRU signed a shirt deal with AIG. Suddenly there was room in the calendar for a test in Japan and a test in America, two markets where AIG have strong interests. You can be sure that if AIG was selling a lot of valuable policies to Samoa, the All Blacks would be over there next week.
The NZRU's position gives it a problem. It is very difficult to argue for the global game, to go to the IRB and ask for an international window in July "for the good of the players", when you are clearly, like England, France and the rest of the mob, motivated by self-interest.
The northern hemisphere nations can turn round and say, "If you are so interested in the global game why have you never played a test in Samoa? Why have you only played five international matches against an island neighbour that started playing 90 years ago? We, England, Scotland and Wales, have each played more games against Samoa than you have. Shame on you."
But the NZRU doesn't want to promote international rugby in Samoa. The NZRU want economic migrants from the islands who come up through New Zealand's colonial rugby programmes. The NZRU takes the bodies, moulds them, keeps the best, and lets Samoa choose from the reject pile. If Samoa achieved economic autonomy then there might be a genuine exchange programme and that would not be good for All Blacks' pre-eminence.
That's all very well, but it gives New Zealand zero moral authority in the global game. In 2003 this country lost co-hosting rights to the World Cup because it refused to remove its sponsors' names from its stadia. In 2011, when hosting the Cup, Steve Tew threatened to withdraw from the 2015 tournament if restitution was not made for lost income.
This was disingenuous because New Zealand makes a heap of extra cash from all the sponsorship leverage that comes with being world champions. New Zealand just wanted to dip into the IRB pot that distributes money to the global game. The NZRU wanted to take the crumbs off its Pacific neighbours' tables.
The NZRU further forfeited any moral authority when it took money from AIG. "This is a great day for New Zealand rugby," said Tew. "Today's announcement is a game changer."
He was literally right there as the forthcoming test against the USA in Chicago testifies. But it was also dirty money. AIG were fined over a billion dollars in 2006 for the financial equivalent of match fixing. A couple of years later, broken and bust, they were given the biggest bail out in US history, a staggering 182 billion US dollars.
The financial reality is that the All Blacks are being part paid by American citizens. And yet AIG trumpeted, "Just as the All Blacks never give up during a game, AIG never gives up on its clients."
Excuse me and pass the sick bag. AIG gave up on every one of its clients. The American taxpayer bailed them out. And now they are bailing out New Zealand rugby. If I were a Chicago tax payer, I would want free entry to the All Blacks game as a part owner of the team.
So when Steve Tew says, "All we want is what is best for world rugby," Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and the rest of us fall about laughing.
The Samoan prime minister asked for a test match against the Blacks to celebrate the island's 50th anniversary of its independence. REJECTED. Su'a William Sio, MP for Mangere, has written to Tew and the NZRU, offering to help look for sponsors to underwrite a game. Why not ask AIG. Tell them it's American Samoa.
Meanwhile, in a community near you, the sons and daughters of Samoan immigrants are working for the good of the game. Earl Va'a, Samoa's top points scorer, is coaching at Scots, where Garden-Bachop and Stowers came together as friends.
It seems symbolic, doesn't it. Stowers, the best forward on the pitch on Monday night, nephew of George, Samoan captain; Garden-Bachop, holding the space, son of Stephen, who played for Samoa and New Zealand, nephew of Graeme Bachop, cousin of Aaron Mauger.
The kids of New Zealand and Samoa are just one big family. But us old blokes, every time cousin Samoa asks us round for dinner, we turn up our nose like there's a bad smell in the room.
Shame on us.
New Zealand Samoa: Christian Cullen, Inga Tuigamala, Frank Bunce, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Mauger, Graeme Bachop, Michael Jones, Pat Lam, Josh Kronfeld, Jerome Kaino, Steven Luatua, Olo Brown, Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina.

This was the first time that we didn't drive down to Disney, and we weren't sure what we were going to do for water & snacks for the parks. This was the perfect solution and well-worth it!
Highly recommend,Garden Grocer is definitely ideal for anybody traveling to orlando. It was easy and stress free and best of all saved us money on our WDW vacation. Staff were friendly and. efficient with confirmation and follow up phone calls. GREAT SERVICE!!!!

Summary: Every girl wants to be Alice, Bella, and Rosalie. They have the looks, boyfriends, and are the most popular girls in school. However, incredibly good-looking Emmett, Jasper, and Edward move to Forks, and instantly gain the spotlight. Will the girls let their status be changed? Hell no!
Disclaimer- I own nothing by Stephenie Meyer.
School, I loved it! And not because of academic reasons, but social reasons. Alice and Rosalie were my two best friends, and we knew everything about each other. Sure there were other girls that we liked, but they only hung out with us because we were the top girls.
I went up to my mirror, and put on the perfect outfit. Alice had the best sense of style, and she had taught me how to dress in an outfit worthy of the red carpet. My cell phone rang, and I danced across the room to get it.
"Hey Bella, it's Rosalie. I just picked up Alice, and we're on our way to your house. Did you dress for the weather today?"
"Yes, it's sunny, my favorite kind of day. Thanks for picking me up." Rosalie laughed.
"No problem, see you later. We'll honk when we're outside." I smiled as I ended the call.
Pretty soon, I heard Rosalie honk, and her beautiful red BMW sat in my driveway. Rosalie was probably the prettiest of us all. She was currently dating Mike Newton, the most popular boy in the school.
"Hey Alice, hey Rosalie," I greeted them happily.
"Ready Bella?"
"Am I ever anything but?" They both giggled, and we sped off.
"I have a test today, you think I'll get a good grade?" Rosalie asked.
"Of course, you always get As." Rosalie, however, didn't seem cheered by the idea.
"I didn't study for this one, and I wasn't paying attention in class." I sighed.
"One B isn't going to bring you're A average down."
"I guess you're right." She sighed.
Entering the halls at Forks High always made us smile. (In this story, the high school is a lot bigger.) People stopped what they were doing, and stared, probably looking at our clothes for the newest style. The boys looked at us lustfully, sometimes it was very embarrassing.
"Hi girls," said a boy that we didn't know. Everyone stared at him. They thought that he was either brave, or stupid.
"Hi," Alice said. "What's your name?" He blushed.
"It's Henry," he said confidently. I honestly didn't know why he would even think that we were interested. Did he not know that we had boyfriends?
"Well, it's Alice. What do you want exactly, I have to get to class," she said brusquely.
"Well, I was wondering whether any of you might be interested in having coffee?" Alice wrinkled her nose.
"Coffe, ewww. I hate it, it tastes disgusting." He looked shocked.
"Well, d-dinner." He stuttered.
"I'm taken," she said simply. He looked at me and Rosalie.
"Sorry," I said. "I'm already going out with someone." He walked away.
Why did boys even come up to us? They knew that we had boyfriends, and that we would refuse. I saw Tyler, and smiled. He grinned in response.
"Hey Bella," he said happily. His lips found mine, and we briefly kissed, and then he put his hand on the small of my back.
"Let's go to class," I whispered.
"So, I saw the show this morning." I giggled.
"Yeah, like I would ever go after him, instead of you," I said sweetly. Evidently that comment brought on another kiss. I truly loved my boyfriend, and life.
"You don't know how happy that makes me," he said.
"And you don't know how happy it makes me that you care," I said right back. I rested my forehead against his. He took my hand, and walked me to my next class.
"Bye Tyler, love you."
"You too Bella, see you at lunch." He gave me one more peck on the cheek, and I waved. God, he was so nice.
I slid in the seat next to Alice's, and we started texting while the teacher droned on about the Civil War.
Alice: That guy was hilarious this morning. Eric got all defensive and wanted to punch him.
Bella: Lol. Sometimes people truly amaze me.
Alice: No kidding.
Bella: They're completely clueless.
Alice: What part of boyfriend is too hard to understand?
Bella: The whole thing apparently. Teacher coming.
Alice: Thnx
I snapped my phone shut. We never got caught, or the teacher just simply didn't care.
The rest of the day went by quickly, and it was time for lunch. Whenever we came in, it was like in the morning, everyone looked at us.
"I think I aced the test," Rosalie squealed.
"Good job Rosalie, I told you that it would be fine."
"Yeah, I should listen to you more often. Where is our dear friend Henry?" She wondered. I looked around the cafeteria, and saw him staring at Alice lustfully.
"He never gives up, does he?" Alice muttered. I hadn't seen her coming, and she scared me to death.
"Sorry Bella, I just got held back by a teacher," she said grimly. I was shocked. Alice never got in trouble with teachers. She saw the bewildered expression on my face.
"I got caught texting," she mumbled. I sighed.
"Which teacher?" Rosalie asked.
"Ms. Janette." Alice said a little harshly. Rosalie laughed, and Alice glared at her.
"I had her, she yells at anyone for the smallest things. It's not that big of a deal, let's get lunch, and go sit down." I followed her, and we bought lunch. Alice went off to sit with Eric, and Rosalie went to Mike. It was nice that our boyfriends got along with each other, and sat at the same table.
"Hey Tyler. How were your classes?" He sighed.
"Not very interesting, yours?"
"Boring," I said simply. He laughed, and I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
I looked at Bella and Tyler. They were so good for each other, and it made me jealous. I loved Mike, but it just didn't feel right for some reason. We kissed, and he treated me kindly, but something was missing.
"Rose, you alright?" He asked me tenderly.
"Yeah, just thinking about life in general." Mike didn't ask, and I liked that he wasn't nosy. Did I love him? I thought so, but I wasn't sure. Was it right to keep dating him if I wasn't positive? Maybe time would tell.
School was what I lived for. Everyday I could wear a new outfit, and have people copy it. The boys were a little annoying though, like that Henry person. Why didn't they just give up? I would be lying to myself if I said that I didn't like the attention, but still.
"Hey Rose, do you want to go shopping?" I asked. It was kind of hard to see her face since I was sitting on Eric's lap, but it didn't really matter.
"Can't, I have to work on a project," she said dully. Bella heard our conversation.
"Why can't you go Rose?" She asked curiously. Usually Rosalie was a huge shopper.
"I have to finish a project for school." Since when did Rosalie have to worry about school?
"Rosalie, you get straight As."
"That's when I work hard. I've been procrastinating for a while, and the project is due in two days."
"Alice, what exactly do you want?" Bella asked, maybe she could come with me.
I couldn't sit on Eric's lap anymore, it was annoying to talk across the table.
"Excuse me Eric, do you mind if I go talk to Rosalie and Bella really quick? We have some girl issues to discuss." He smiled at me.
"Go ahead Alice, and I miss you already." I smiled, and kissed him briefly.
"You're too sweet," I said.
Once I got to where Bella and Rosalie were sitting, I demanded more information. Shopping alone would be no fun. My sense of style was gone without them.
"I need a new purse, and I don't know where to go. Bella, will you go with me if Rosalie can't go?" Bella thought for a minute.
"Yeah, I'm not doing anything. And I think I need some new clothes too. What day?" I smiled at Bella, but glared at Rosalie.
"That's so kind of you Bella, and thanks a lot Rosalie. Can we go Saturday?"
"That sounds good Alice. I need to be home by six though, Charlie and I are going out to dinner." Rosalie looked sad.
"Honestly, I wish I could come. Wait, did you say Saturday?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Oh, I can come then, I thought you meant tomorrow or the day after. Okay, count me in." I squealed with delight, and we were going to go to Port Angeles.
"Alice, where do you want to go exactly?" She shrugged.
"I don't know, here and there." Rosalie shook her head.
"No, we should get you a Coach purse. Bring a lot of money." Rosalie emphasized the "a lot" part. Alice grinned.
"No need, come into the girls bathroom with me. I need to show you something." We exited the cafeteria.
The bathroom was empty, and Alice giggled. She looked so excited for some reason, and had her wallet out. Alice's energy always amazed me, she never stopped.
"What is it Alice?" Rosalie and I asked.
"You'll never guess what my dad gave me yesterday. I was just eating, and he came in and gave me a big lecture about what he was giving me." We kept staring at her. Alice already had a blackberry, cell phone, laptop, ipod, and a ton of other things.
"He gave me a credit card," she just kept bouncing around. Rosalie looked at her, and was happy. She pulled out a silver card, and Alice grinned. I was the odd one out. Charlie would never give me one, he thought that I spent too much. I had pointed out to him that it was my friends who were spending, and I was just socializing, and occasionally buying something that I liked.
"Wow Rosalie, when did your parents give it to you?" Alice said.
"They saw that I was carrying around a lot of cash, and decided to give me a credit card. I was kind of surprised, but excited too, of course."
"Cool," I said, "when are you taking your first shopping spree with it Alice?"
"This Saturday of course, I've been bursting to tell you."
"Do you want to go back to the cafeteria? I honestly don't want to go," I told them. They nodded in agreement.
"Where do you want to go then?" Rosalie asked us in a bored voice.
"I don't know, the gym, as long as we don't stay here, I'm fine," I said.
"We forgot about Eric, Mike, and Tyler." I giggled at Alice's comment, and pulled out my cell phone.
Bella: Tyler. Not coming back. Luv u.
They both did the same, and we mindlessly walked around the halls. The occasional freshmen saw us, and stared. We just gave them a small smile, and they smiled back, so cute. Teachers didn't care. They knew that we didn't cause trouble, and we were left in peace. My phone beeped, and I assumed it was Tyler.
Tyler: No prob. Can't see u after school, soccer practice.
"What was that?" Alice asked.
"Tyler telling me that he can't see me after school, oh well. Do either of you want to come over?" They said yes, and I called Charlie.
"Chief Swan. How may I help you?" Whenever he said that, I wanted to burst out laughing.
"Hey dad, it's Bella. Can Alice and Rose come home with me after school?"
"Yeah, no problem. Are they staying for dinner?" I mouthed to them, and they said no.
"No, when will you be home?"
"I'll be home around seven, and then we can eat."
"Cool. Looking forward to it," I told him.
"I just have something to give you Bells, and I think you'll like it." Okay then.
"Thanks dad, see you at seven." I snapped my phone shut, and turned back to Alice.
"You're lucky Alice," I sighed.
"Maybe your father will give you a credit card tonight," she grinned. I couldn't help smiling in response.
"Yeah, only in my dreams."
At the end of the day, Rosalie drove us to my house, and we just started our homework. The day went by too quickly, and it was close to six.
"Bye guys," I sighed. They waved, and I closed the door. What did Charlie have planned? Something that I would like? As far as I knew, I was happy, and didn't need anything else. I had a good group of friends, a good father and mother, good grades, and a good reputation at school. What more could I ask for?
"Hey Bells," he called once he was in the house.
"Hey dad, what do you want for dinner?" He grinned at me.
"I brought a pizza." He seemed very happy, but his face abruptly turned serious.
"Now Bella, I don't know if Alice and Rosalie already have one, but I want you to be very careful with it," he said in a no-nonsense voice.
"Be careful with what?" I asked. He took out a blue discover card, and handed it to me.
"You may shop with this, but don't overdo it." I stared at the little card in my hands, it was beautiful! I jumped up, and hugged him. He looked a little taken aback, but returned the hug.
"Thank you, thank you dad! I love it!" He smiled at me.
"I'm glad, just be careful Bella." I nodded we ate dinner, chatting about our day. He heard about Henry, and how boring my classes were. Nothing really exciting happened to him at work, and we discussed where to eat Saturday night.
Once we were done eating, I flew up to my room, and picked up my phone. Alice was ecstatic about my credit card, and we had a three way call with Rosalie. Yes, I enjoyed life!

Literary Hook: Poem captures the moment of preparation
By Christine Swanberg
Author and Poet
by Linda Melville
Seek seek
the quiet place
deep secret space
where images merge as they emerge
where lacy words first warble and then recede
where newborn thoughts braid among the ancients.
Flow loosely
toward the ephemeral destination
and on arrival
settle gently
receive the words that await you.
Linda Melville grew up on the southwest side of Chicago and came to Rockford as a student teacher at Carlson Elementary, where she taught for the next 39 years.
Writing has always been an important part of her personal and professional life, whether practicing the craft or sharing her passion with her students.
Christine Swanberg is a local author and poet. She received the Lawrence E. Gloyd Community Impact Award at the 2012 Rockford Area Arts Council State of the Arts Awards.

UK: Tesco stabilises as Aldi, Lidl pile on grocery share
By Chris Mercer | 29 January 2013
Fresh market share figures for the UK grocery sector show strong gains for discounters Aldi and Lidl as consumer budgets are squeezed by inflation.
Aldi and Lidl saw sales rise by 28% and 10% respectively in the 12 weeks to 20 January, helping them to chalk up market share gains in a tough UK grocery market, according to the latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel.
If horse DNA in beef burgers is set to affect shoppers' loyalty to the key retailers involved - Aldi, Lidl, Iceland and Tesco - there was little sign of it by the end of Kantar's reporting period.
Tesco, it said, maintained its market share and matched market sales growth for the first time since June 2011. Iceland, meanwhile, held on to its record market share of 2.2%, first achieved in Kantar's last reporting period.
"These positive results are a sign of stabilisation for Tesco as the retailer gets back on track with its customers," said Edward Garner, director at Kantar.
In a sign of a growing schism between premium and value in the sector, Kantar also pinpointed 8% year-on-year sales growth for Waitrose in the 12 weeks.
Morrisons was the clear loser in the period, it said, "suffering a drop in sales and a share decline of 0.6 percentage points".
Kantar underlined that, with grocery price inflation running at close to 5%, "there is a heightened need for retailers to deliver value for money to customers".
The latest grocery share figures from Kantar Worldpanel, published today for the 12 weeks ending 20 January, show Tesco maintaining its market share and matching market growth for the first time since June 2011.
Edward Garner, director at Kantar Worldpanel, explains: "These positive results are a sign of stabilisation for Tesco as the retailer gets back on track with its customers. However, this improvement has put some pressure on the rest of the big four with Morrisons in particular suffering a drop in sales and a share decline of 0.6 percentage points in the latest period."
The strongest growth recorded during this latest period is at the discount and premium ends of the market. The Waitrose figures echo the record Christmas it reported, with strong year-on-year growth of 8%.
Meanwhile, the discount outlets, and Aldi in particular, lead the way in the first stage of 2013 – strongly out-performing the market with growth rates of 28.2% for Aldi and 10% for Lidl. Iceland holds on to the record 2.2% share reported last period.
Edward Garner continues: "It is worth noting the improved performance from The Co-operative this month, with the retailer recording a sales increase of 0.9%. This growth contrasts with the declines posted throughout 2012 and could be a positive step for the grocer."
The widening gap between market growth, currently at 3.3%, and grocery price inflation (4.9%) is causing a squeeze on shopping budgets. As a result, there is a heightened need for retailers to deliver value for money to customers.
An update on inflation
Grocery inflation stands at 4.9%* for the 12 week period ending 20 January 2013. This is an increase on the 4.5% reported last period and continues a rising trend since September last year.
*This figure is based on over 75,000 identical products compared year-on-year in the proportions purchased by British shoppers and therefore represents the most authoritative figure currently available. It is a 'pure' inflation measure in that shopping behaviour is held constant between the two comparison periods – shoppers are likely to achieve a lower personal inflation rate if they trade down or seek out more offers.

...This is partly because I love to share my knowledge and passion for the sciences through education. It is also because I encourage students to cultivate self-sufficiency through discovery of their own innate skills, talents and passions. Because my number one goal is to support the student, I am very flexible with scheduling.

...OK - maybe not everyone will love it, but you will be able to conquer it! As a long-time teacher and tutor I have had hundreds of students who believed science and math were too hard. After working with them for a short time, that attitude became one of "I think I can" rather than "I can't".

Sheikh Jarrah protests (R) 311.
(photo credit:Reuters)
By a narrow margin, the Jerusalem Planning and Building Committee on Wednesday approved the construction of a yeshiva campus in the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, beyond the Green Line.The Glassman campus, as the 10,000 sq.m. complex is known, is set to include 12 floors and be built on a vacant lot adjacent to the yeshiva's current Ohr Somayach campus on Shimon Hatzadik Street. It will include dormitories and classrooms.Although the land is owned by the Israel Lands Authority, the Jerusalem Planning Department and numerous city council members have vocally opposed the construction, repeatedly attempting to postpone the vote in consideration of peace negotiations.Noting the sensitivity of Jewish settlement in Sheikh Jarrah, Dr. Meir Margalit (Meretz), who heads the east Jerusalem Portfolio, summarily dismissed the decision to build another yeshiva there as a "clear provocation" against the neighborhood's Palestinian residents."Building a yeshiva in the middle of Sheikh Jarrah is the wrong decision," said Margalit by phone Wednesday. "It's such a sensitive place, and there is no room for a yeshiva, because settlers are trying to take control [of the neighborhood] and the Supreme Court has already expelled Palestinian families."In September of 2010 a panel of three Supreme Court judges ruled that 30 Palestinian homes in Sheikh Jarrah between Nablus Road and Highway 1 belonged to Jewish owners, resulting in the ongoing expulsion of Arab families.The ruling ostensibly removed the final obstacle preventing Jewish owners from taking over the land and houses, resulting in a protracted legal battle to overturn the decision by nearly a dozen Palestinian families who have lived in the neighborhood prior to 1948.Since the first three Palestinian families were evicted, the activist group Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement has actively worked to reverse the ruling, to little avail.According to Margalit, the timing of the decision could not be more ill advised."The message this sends to Palestinians and the world is that Israel does not really want to come to an agreement," he said."This is one of the more politically minded Palestinian neighborhoods that is also the focus of the international community. It's not the right place to open a yeshiva, and it's not the right timing."Stating that the yeshiva "supports the settlers' goal," Margalit added that the move is part of a strategy to surround the Old City with Jewish "settlements.""They're not doing this because it's a holy place but to undermine any political solution in the future," he claimed.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat's spokeswoman, Brachie Sprung, defended the municipality's decision to build there as a process that has been "years in the making" and that will not come to fruition for several more years to come."This was not a formal approval. It's part of a long process that will take two or three more years, and at least six more committees that a private contractor will have to go through," she said.Dismissing Margalit's assertion that Wednesday's decision was a provocation, Sprung emphasized that the approval was based "on one criteria alone: if the building fits [regulatory] standards, not if it is for an Arab or a Jew.""We do not discriminate when we build," she added. "There is no provocation here."
