French Restaurants North York
I LOVE French and Italian food, do you know of great reasonably priced French and Italian restaurants in North York?
re: Charles Yu
Thanks Charles, I'll make sure to check them out! Do you also know of any closer to Yonge/Finch or Yonge/North York?
Mezza Notte serves decent affordable Italian near Yonge & Finch.
Chez Laurent on Yonge, Le Montmartre on Sheppard Ave W, and Pourquoi Pas on Sheppard Ave W are some French restos in North York. I'm not sure if they are all still in business as of 2011. I've only been to Pourquoi Pas for lunch, which is reasonably good for the neighbourhood.
Another fairly reasonably-priced option taking the high quality of the ingredients into consideration, might be a Winterlicious meal at Auberge du Pommier, if you can get a reservation. The lunch menu is less expensive than the dinner menu. Lunch at Auberge du Pommier is marginally less expensive if you eat inside the Bar rather than inside the Dining Room.
Auberge Du Pommier
4150 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M2P 2C6, CA
Le Montmartre
911 Sheppard Ave W, Toronto, ON M3H2T7, CA
Mezza Notte
5304 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M2N5P9, CA
Pourquoi Pas
63 Sheppard Ave W, Toronto, ON M2N1M4, CA
re: phoenikia
+1 for Auberge Du Pommier. One of the best meals in TO.
Auberge Du Pommier
4150 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M2P 2C6, CA
re: elvisahmed
IMHO, suggesting Auberge Du Pommier to the OP could be a 'dilemma'!!
Whilst a Winterlicious meal there might fall under the definition of 'reasonably priced', however based on my past experience, their Winterlicious effort did not show the full potential of the kitchen. In fact, depending on the dish, it could be fairly mediocre!
To fully appreciate ADP, a regular dinner there, prefably the tasting menu route is the way to go. However, the meal will no longer be 'reasonably priced', I'm afraid!!
Auberge Du Pommier
4150 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M2P 2C6, CA
re: Charles Yu
Maybe a great place for special occasions then.
re: Charles Yu
While I agree Winterlicious probably won't showcase the best of the kitchen, the Winterlicious meal still might be more impressive than what is being served as some of the French restos north of the 401. I'm not sure, since I haven't done an Auberge Winterlicious, and I haven't dined at any of the other restaurants for a long time.
Auberge also offers a 2 course $25 prix fixe lunch offering that changes daily, with 2 choices for the first course, and 2 choices for the second course. If you're fairly flexible re: what you like to eat, this might be a more reasonably priced way to give Auberge a try. Also, the regular lunch mains range from $16-$27, which would be much more economical than the dinner mains which range from $36-$44. http://www.oliverbonacini.com/OurRest...
re: phoenikia
Montmarte sounds like the perfect suggestion for the OP. havent been for a looong while, please report if you do visit.
re: shekamoo
Wow! Is Montmatre still in business? Its the one inside a house on Sheppard, Right? Haven't been there for at least three years! Food was only OK then. Nowadays, much better food can be had in places like Mogette and Simple.
581 Mt Pleasant Rd, Toronto, ON M4S, CA
re: shekamoo
I'll make sure to do so.
re: sophie80
I do agree indeed that better food can be found south of Eglinton, the Montmarte suggestion is based on proximity to the Yonge/Finch area. They have been in business long, I have heard from people living in the neighborhood that it is a place that can be trusted for consistency if not greatness. That should count for something, right? but again, have not been for a long long time.
And Yes, they must be open according to their website, OP can't miss them because as Charles says it is located inside a House on Sheppard and they have this Eiffel Tower sign, which feels seriously out of place....
re: phoenikia
Thanks, can't wait to try them out!
re: phoenikia
Pourquoi Pas was sold and then went out of business a year or two ago.
Pourquoi Pas
63 Sheppard Ave W, Toronto, ON M2N1M4, CA
We were jiust at Montmartre for New Years Eve. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet in an old house. We found the food very good with typical french offerings (pate, onion soup, escargots, duck a l'orange, rack of lamb, etc) The food was very good and prices very decent.
I would go back no question.
Auberege du Pommier is a completely different experience, beautiful restaurant, high end, interesting and often delicious food, but expensive.
re: breezey
Montmartre sounds great, like a Bistro type of restaurant, I will definitely check it out! Thanks for the advice shekamoo and breezey.

Student Internship Experiences
Michelle Bayman
Einstein Thompson Literary Agency
New York, N.Y.
During summer of 2013, I worked for the Einstein Thompson Literary Agency as an intern evaluating manuscripts in their slush pile email. If I felt the submission was not up to par, I sent out a rejection email. If I thought the piece had potential, I comprised a reader report and forwarded the manuscript and my report to the appropriate agent. Over time, the agents asked me to report on manuscripts they had personally solicited, and even to craft personalized rejection emails on their behalf. This position gave me a chance to use the skills I learned at SU in combination with new ones, such as determining marketability of a manuscript. Working with ETA gave me publishing experience so that I could pursue my career further: first by attending the Summer Publishing Institute at New York University and then by applying for jobs at literary agencies.
Madeline Distasio
Natasha Morgan, Blog and Social Media
New York, N.Y.
After returning from an amazing semester in London, I decided to find a fashion internship in hopes of pursuing a career in fashion after graduation. I submitted my resume for a social media branding and journalism position with NYC-based accessories designer Natasha Morgan. Two days later, I had an interview and was hired on the spot. I worked about 45 hours each week building online branding platforms via social media and writing monthly trend forecasts on the label's various blogs. I knew my work was having a real impact, especially when a blog that I and other interns created led to figures like Madonna and Beyonce coming across Natasha's line of eyewear. This internship, along with Natasha's constant support, inspired me to keep chasing my sartorial dreams: after my spring graduation, I will be taking graduate courses in fashion marketing and journalism in either London or Florence.
Emily Gorge
Pennsylvania State Senate Office
West Chester, Pa.
In the summer of 2012, I worked as an intern in the office of Pennsylvania State Senator Andrew Dinniman. My position entailed performing legislative research, constructing bills for presentation on the Senate floor and representing the senator at several Chester County political events. An exciting project that I worked on during my time was compiling a grant request for the U.S. Department of the Interior to rescue and preserve the historical property of the Brandywine Battlefield from local developers. I found that the reading, writing and oral communication abilities I acquired from my English courses were of great value in politics. The challenges of navigating the political and legal realms solidified my desire to pursue a legal education. My hope is to work as counsel for government officials and to someday run for higher political office in Pennsylvania.
Amy Masgay
Wolters Kluwer, Health
Philadelphia, Pa.
Thanks to the support of an alumna, I became aware of a great internship program with the academic publishing company Wolters Kluwers. It was a wonderful fit immediately. Based out of their Philadelphia office, I was responsible for updating the onboarding system that was in place for new employees. In order to accomplish this, I had the opportunity to interview employees, hire managers, and work closely with human resources, in order to ensure that recent hires had access to the most efficient training possible. Wolters Kluwer treated me very well and made sure that my summer with them was a positive experience.
Karen Stewart
National Endowment for the Humanities
Washington, D.C.
During the summer of 2013, I interned in the communications office at the National Endowment for the Humanities. Most of my work involved updating the NEH's website and its magazine, Humanities, by organizing and publishing articles online. A few of the many highlights of my experience were participating in a reception for the president's annual medalists, meeting with panelists who determined which project proposals should receive NEH funding, meeting with the deputy chairwoman of the NEH and writing a follow-up article for a previously-funded project. This article sparked my interest in developing my senior capstone and departmental honors projects into studies that involved civil rights speeches, Alabama football and racial integration. Thanks to SU's English Department, I was able to conduct research at the University of Alabama, and recently I applied to this university for graduate school.
Lindsay Wisser
Lehigh Valley Summerbridge
Bethlehem, Pa.
After completing my first semester at SU, I obtained a position at Lehigh Valley Summerbridge, a summer enrichment program for 7th and 8th grade students, located in Bethlehem, Pa. The program is held five days a week for six weeks. During my first summer I taught two writing classes and an elective course. After my sophomore year at SU, I was asked to come back as a lead teacher, teaching as well as directing my team of teachers. My experiences as a Summerbridge teacher have helped me toward my goal of becoming an English teacher by allowing me to develop my own writing course and daily lesson plans—and to implement these plans in my very own classroom

Edina, MN 55436
$1795 per person
- Individual Strong Manager Kits
- Flash Drive with workshop tools
- The Truth About You
- Business Case for Strengths DVD

The Marcus Buckingham Company's Strong Manager Workshop
The Strong Manager 2-Day workshop teaches managers how to utilize employee's skills from a strengths based perspective. Participants will actively learn the Four Demands of Strong Management:
- Select: Choosing the right candidates to bring into your organization or team.
- Clarify: Setting standards for expectations of employee's while enabling them to work from their strengths.
- Engage: Identifying those golden nuggets to actively engage, motivate and reward employee's from a strengths perspective
- Accelerate: Learn how to improve performance and remove obstacles for individual employee success
Who should attend Strong Manager?
Managers who strive for more ways to identify and leverage their employee's unique gifts and talents for the good of the organization and their team. This workshop is an opportunity for you to become a Multiplier in your organization. As the old saying goes, "employees join companies and quit managers." Strong Manager is a program which will teach attendee's how to understand, coach and engage their team members to capitalize on each individuals unique offerings to the team.
Food for thought:
"An attentive manager is a key component of high-performing teams. The data show that people who feel cared about are less likely to miss workdays, less likely to have accidents on the job, less likely to file workers' compensation claims, less likely to steal, less likely to quit, and more likely to advocate the company to friends and family."
From Forbes.com:
Top Ten Reasons Why Large Companies Fail To Keep Their Best Talent
From TMBC.com
Through research from the Gallup organization, there is a correlation to the key business metrics when employee's were asked the question:
"At work do you have the chance to play to your Strengths most of the time?"
Only 2 out of 10 people answered this question as yes. However the teams whose members are able to play to their strengths most of the time:
- 50% more likely to have lower employee turnover
- 38% more likely to work on high productivity teams
- 44% more likely to earn high customer satisfaction scores
As a manager, this 2-Day workshop is your opportunity to learn more about yourself as a manager, and about the employee's you will develop for your organizations success.
Minimum non-refundable $500 deposit required to hold your place in the workshop. You will be invoiced for the remaining balance which must be paid in full prior to workshop. If you are unable to attend the workshop, your registration will be carried forward to the next workshop if cancelled within 5 business days prior to the course. Minimum of 10 attendees per workshop.

can this pack carry a snowboard? Can it carry skis?
Matt Zia
yes and no. yes in that if you wanted to, you could probably figure out some way of strapping a snowboard or a pair of skis to it. no in that there isn't a dedicated feature for it, and my guess is your edges would end up damaging the material. BD does make dedicated overnight ski packs, so you could check those out.

Last week I moaned about the attempts to rationalise Marouane Fellaini's behaviour, and this week I look at another piece of violent conduct as well as a goal that was disallowed, one that wasn't, and another dive in the penalty area.
Ferguson right to be angry
Sir Alex Ferguson has predictably come in for all sorts of criticism from non-Manchester United fans after claiming Robin van Persie "could have been killed" by the ball blasted at his head from close range by Ashley Williams.
"He should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many years," Ferguson said. "It was absolutely deliberate."
The first thing to say is that only Williams himself knows whether he deliberately kicked the ball at Van Persie's head. He insists he didn't, I have to say I thought he did, but no one can say for certain, and for that reason it'd be very difficult for the Football Association to take action against the Swansea defender - albeit they did charge Mario Balotelli last season after deciding he more than likely tried to stamp on Scott Parker on purpose.
Regarding Ferguson's claim that Van Persie could have been killed, he is not wrong. Although the Dutchman was not hurt on this occasion, there is no doubt a ball hit with that venom from that range into someone's head could cause serious damage and, yes, potentially kill.
However, I have often questioned whether the media should be allowed to speak to managers so soon after games while tensions are still running high, and Ferguson's comments were extreme to say the least. Had he had time to simmer down, they may well have been slightly less controversial.
But it's not hard to understand his or Van Persie's anger over the incident, and I find it remarkable that, for the second weekend in succession, the apparent victims of a (in my opinion) dastardly act find themselves facing criticism.
Everton 'goal' sums up problem
The other dastardly act I am referring to was of course Marouane Fellaini's head-butt on Ryan Shawcross, with much of the post-match discussion focusing not on the Belgian's actions but of the holding from Shawcross and numerous other Premier League defenders that takes place in penalty areas.
The general consensus was that it needs to be cut out of the game, but I stand by what I wrote in last week's blog: 'The reason so few penalty kicks are awarded is that there is more often than not an offence being committed by both players.
Although there are no doubt occasions when an offence is being committed by a defender and a defender alone, more commonly there are a number of different things going on in a penalty box which, if looked at in isolation, could be viewed as an offence.
It is impossible for the referees to spot all of the 'offences' and, even if he does, he has to be sure of which player has done wrong first as you often see both the defender and attacker holding, pushing or pulling each other.
However, after the hoo-ha of the past week I fully expected at least one referee to make a big penalty-box call over the weekend, and so it proved.
It came at Upton Park where Everton had a goal disallowed due to Victor Anichebe's holding of Jussi Jaaskelainen, which you can clearly see on my Twitter feed.
You might assume all those complaining about holding a week ago would welcome Anthony Taylor's decision to rule out Leon Osman's goal, but apparently not. You couldn't make it up!
My opinion on the other hand has not changed. I believe there are numerous 'offences' committed by both defenders and attackers in a penalty area, and I don't think penalties should be given or goals disallowed unless it is clear one player has committed an offence first which obviously prevents an opponent from scoring or stopping a goal.
In other words, there is not a great deal wrong with the current system. Referees need more help to deal with lots of things, penalty-box antics among them, but Saturday's incident at Upton Park just proves they should not be put under pressure to start giving fouls for every tiny 'offence' they do spot in the box.
Why? Because, for every arm around the midriff like Anichebe's, there is probably a push like Jaaskelainen's which came just before it.
Contrary to sudden popular belief, this sort of thing has always gone on in penalty areas and, unless we want a non-contact sport, it always will.
McDermott should direct ire at Shorey
Another manager (as well as Ferguson) making post-match comments he may not have done after an hour's break was Reading's Brian McDermott, who was adamant Gareth Barry's late winner for Manchester City should not have stood.
"There's nothing Nicky Shorey can do to defend against that," McDermott said.
In actual fact, there was plenty he could have done, and the only person McDermott should have been angry with was Shorey himself.
His positioning from David Silva's cross was not too bad and, although Barry had a run on him, there was no excuse not to jump to head the ball away to safety.
That he remained statuesque under the ball was nothing to do with Barry, who attacked it brilliantly, but did not use his arms to stop the Royals full-back from jumping.
If you don't jump to challenge for a ball, you are going to end up with your opponent all over you in the air. And that is nobody's fault but your own.
'Entitled to go down' line wheeled out again
Everyone knows my thoughts on diving by now, but I was once again annoyed to hear yet another pundit say a player was "entitled" to go down under slight contact in the penalty area at the weekend.
The player was Arsenal's Theo Walcott and the pundit was Alan Hansen, who later questioned why Wigan's Aroune Kone had not gone down under similarly minimal contact in the opposite box.
As I have said a million times before, my complaint is not with the players, who rarely get penalties when they are impeded but try to stay up, but all we can do as football fans and in my case a journalist is make it clear we do not want to see players going down unless they are knocked down.
Please, please, please let's not sanitise football any more.

Sound of the seventies
Posted: June 28, 2012|
YOU MIGHT have thought that after his monumental 70th celebratory year, 2012 might see Michael Chapman taking things a bit easier – you'd be wrong.
The septuagenarian who started his professional musical career at the Count House Folk Club in Botallack near St Just back in the balmy mid-1960s, kicked off in January with a live rendition of his first improvisation album The Resurrection and Revenge of the Clayton Peacock on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label.
Like nothing else Chapman had done before, this musical side-step has encapsulated his unquenchable thirst for new inspiration and direction which has shown no sign of abating and has endeared him to many youngermusicians and fans, particularly in America.
Despite this musical expansion and coterie of youthful collaborators it is still the earlier songs and music that he returns to on a regular basis, much as he returns to Cornwall each year.
It's the bond and memory that draws him back.
This year he will be playing at the Brewery Visitors' Centre, St Austell Brewery on Thursday, July 12 and The Count House, Botallack on Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14.
This year has also seen the release of Oh Michael Look What You've Done, a fine tribute to his song and instrumental writing skills with covers as diverse as The Black Twig Pickers (a traditional blue grass outfit from rural Virgina), Maddy Prior who needs no introduction and a sublime version of That Time Of Night by LA heart-wrencher Lucinda WiIlliams – a real treat.
He's also working on a collaboration with Paul Buckmaster who did the string arrangements on Michael's probably most well-known album, Fully Qualified Survivor as well as working with Elton John.
They met up again after 40 years and have an album due for release next year which features Michael with string arrangements of some of his favourite songs.
There will be a Purcell Room showcase of this and Fully Qualified Survivor, featuring Paul Buckmaster and string quartet and hopefully Rick Kemp, early next year.
For St Austell Brewery concert call the visitor centre on 01726 879500, and inquiries for seat reservations for the Count House, 07850 491309.

President Barack Obama flies to Connecticut on Monday for a star-studded fundraiser at movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's sprawling estate in Westport. The event means about two million dollars for Obama's campaign--and traffic disruptions, beach closings, and a surge in overtime pay for the town of some 26,000 people.
The WestportNow.com news site gave its readers a peek at what it means for a locality to play host to a presidential fundraiser, this one a $35,800-per-guest soirée featuring "The Dark Knight Rises" star Anne Hathaway and "The West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. Joanne Woodward, Hollywood icon Paul Newman's widow, was also expected to attend.
Security for the most powerful man in the world means traffic delays as local police close off his motorcade route. Westport's Marine Police Unit will patrol the shoreline near Weinstein's home, while area firefighters and other emergency workers will be at the ready. (These kinds of preparations are not Obama-specific: Any sitting president can count on the full mobilization of local law-enforcement and first responders. Likewise, partisans on both sides of the aisle reliably express outrage about the costs related to high-profile political visits by the opposing party.) Here's WestportNow:
First Selectman Gordon Joseloff said the town expects to incur some overtime costs as part of its role in providing security for the visit.
"That's been the pattern in the past and unfortunately we do not anticipate the Obama campaign--just like those of previous president--to help us out with the overtime tab," he said.
While overtime costs are nothing new to municipalities that host a president, the report noted another disruption that might make a dent in Obama's local approval ratings.
"The Secret Service asked that state-owned Sherwood Island State Park and town-owned Burying Hill Beach be shut down for the day, leaving thousands without access to Long Island Sound waters on a hot summer day."
Obama's trip to Connecticut came as Mitt Romney raised $101.3 million for his campaign and the Republican National Committee in July, ending the month with nearly $186 million in the bank.
With that kind of cash, Romney, whose personal wealth is estimated around $250 million, could buy Weinstein's 15.5 million dollar estate six times over. Here's how the Hartford Courant describes the digs:
Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of "Shakespeare in Love," among other films, bought the property at 26 Beachside Ave. in 1994 for $4.2 million, according to property records for The Warren Group. The two-story, 8,900-square-foot Colonial-style house was built in 1909.
Weinstein later bought neighboring 28 Beachside in 2000 for $4 million. That property includes two smaller houses, described in town records as a Cape and a ranch, together totaling about 2,500 square feet.
The main house includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a spacious stone terrace. It's topped off by a heated pool. Each property has nearly doubled in market value since Weinstein purchased them, according to town records.

Former Boulder police officer Brent Curnow avoids jail time in Mapleton elk shooting case
Sentenced to probation and home detention
BOULDER, Colo. - One of two former Boulder police officers accused of plotting to kill a trophy elk on Mapleton Hill on New Year's Day has accepted a plea deal.
Brent Curnow was sentenced Tuesday to probation and 60 days home detention after admitting guilt to possession of wildlife with a trophy elk designation. Electronic monitoring will start immediately.
Court documents accused him of discussing with another cop the plan to kill the animal known to the community as "Big Boy." After the other officer shot the elk, Curnow allegedly helped to move the animal's carcass and process the meat.
"Because these were two law enforcement officers, there's a breach of public trust," the judge said. "Consequences must be stiffer."
The district attorney had asked the judge not to sentence Curnow to jail.
"Curnow is already paying a price for his actions. But, this is a serious case that reflects disconnect between officers and the community," the DA said.
Curnow and fellow officer Sam Carter pleaded not guilty in May. Their trial was scheduled for October.
Carter is accused of shooting and killing the elk known as "Big Boy" on Jan. 1 at 9th and Mapleton Streets.
The affidavit states that Carter didn't tell his superiors that he discharged his weapon until neighbors contacted news organizations to learn what happened.
Investigators say Carter then told them that the elk was injured and showing signs of aggressive behavior.
But a necropsy determined that the animal was healthy and unhurt. The investigation also determined that Carter and his friend, Curnow, had been talking about killing the elk since 3 a.m., according to the affidavit. The elk was shot and killed around 11:50 p.m.
An investigation showed that after the elk was shot, Curnow drove up and loaded the animal into the back of a pickup, then took it away to process the meat.
Had they not resigned, both officers were facing termination for their actions.
Curnow's attorney described the ex-cop as "a good man, who has been out of job since the elk shooting happened in January."
As part of the plea deal Curnow pleaded guilty to one felony count of tampering with physical evidence and four misdemeanors, including illegal possession of a trophy elk with a Samson Law surcharge, conspiracy to commit illegal possession of wildlife, unlawful taking of a big game animal out of season, and unlawful use of an electronic communication device to unlawfully take wildlife.
Three other felonies and a misdemeanor were dropped, Curnow's attorney Patrick Mulligan told the Daily Camera.
Each charge carried a maximum penalty of one year in jail.

Olympic WeatherFebruary 11th, 2014 at 1:26 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, Weather
Here's the forecast for Sochi. As you can see, temperatures peak this Thurs./Fri. in the mid-upper 50s at the weather station down at the Black Sea, where they have palm trees (at the Winter Olympics!). The picture on the right shows there's plenty of snow in the mountains where the ski events are taking place 30 miles to the east. Here's a map that shows Sochi relative to the rest of Europe. Russia is BIG, not only the biggest country on Earth, but it contains 1/8th of the world's inhabited land. It stretches across 9 time zones. (we have 4 times zones in the contiguous U.S.). Russian temperature extremes run from +109.4F to -90F (at Verkoyansk in Siberia). Sochi has a relatively warm and wet climate, with mid-winter afternoon temperatures around 50 in January by the Black Sea. Sochi gets about 59″ of precipitation per year (West Michigan about 37″). While Sochi is relatively warm now, the mountains to the east between the Black Sea and the Caspian sea always have snow in winter. Mt. Elbrus rises to 18,510 feet above sea level, more than 4,000 feet higher than the highest mountains in Colorado and the highest mountain in Europe and Mt. Elbrus is covered by snow even in the summer. In Siberia, the town of Oymyakon had a low temperature of -74F on Feb. 1. Verkoyansk had 5 days from Feb. 2-6 with low temperatures between -71F and -73F. On Feb. 9th, they got all the way up to 7 above zero – which was 50 degrees warmer than average! So, the Siberian tundra can see some huge temperature swings. Overall, everyone seems pleased with the Olympic weather in Sochi. (pictures from Jack Doles).

The recent 5-0 thrashing of Aston Villa suggested that City were back to their attacking best, but they missed the chance to reclaim top spot in the Premier League after the stalemate at Stamford Bridge.
Milner admits that City are not regularly killing off games when they are on top, but believes it is a good sign that they are disappointed with such a result.
"Any time you come away from a ground like this, against the European champions, and end up being disappointed not to get a win is a positive thing," said the midfielder.
"We were the better side, we had the better chances and restricted them to not too many. I thought we played a good game and didn't quite get the three points.
"We have got things to work on. We need to take our chances - we had a number of corners and chances that didn't go our way.
"When we are on top in games and have territory and chances we are not quite putting teams to bed like we should be.
"Hopefully we can improve on that during the season. There are positives and negatives to take out of the game."

Up until Eisenhower, presidential candidates used tv for 30-minute speeches only. The idea for the celebrated WWII generals spots came from Madison Avenue ad exec Rossier Reeves, who had created M&Ms Melts in your mouth, not in your hands campaign.

This book is written for mathematics students who have encountered basic complex analysis and want to explore more advanced project and/or research topics. It could be used as (a) a supplement for a standard undergraduate complex analysis course, allowing students in groups or as individuals to explore advanced topics, (b) a project resource for a senior capstone course for mathematics majors, (c) a guide for an advanced student or a small group of students to independently choose and explore an undergraduate research topic, or (d) a portal for the mathematically curious, a hands-on introduction to the beauties of complex analysis. Research topics in the book include complex dynamics, minimal surfaces, fluid flows, harmonic, conformal, and polygonal mappings, and discrete complex analysis via circle packing. The nature of this book is different from many mathematics texts: the focus is on student-driven and technology-enhanced investigation. Interlaced in the reading for each chapter are examples, exercises, explorations, and projects, nearly all linked explicitly with computer applets for visualization and hands-on manipulation. There are more than 15 Java applets that allow students to explore the research topics without the need for purchasing additional software.

He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and their two daughters.
Michael Dorff is a professor of mathematics at Brigham Young University. He was born in Duluth, Minnesota and grew up in southern California. After teaching high school for four years, he earned an MS degree at the University of New Hampshire and in 1997 a Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky in complex analysis. He was a professor at the University of Missouri - Rolla before accepting a position in 2000 at BYU. He has published over 20 research papers and has given talks at over 100 different conferences, universities, and colleges. He founded the BYU mathematics REU and in 2007 he founded the national Center of Undergraduate Research in Mathematics, which promotes, trains, and supports professors across the U.S. in doing research with undergraduate students. He is a member of the MAA, AMS, CUR, and Project NExT, and has served in many positions including governor of the MAA Intermountain section, chair of several MAA committees, member of the Executive Board of CUR, and member of the editorial boards of the journals American Mathematical Monthly and Involve. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Poland and has received numerous teaching awards including the MAA's Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award in 2010. He is married with 5 daughters. His interests include reading (Dostoyevsky and Dickens through Stegner and Saramago), traveling (invite him to visit you!), running (even at 3 am on the streets in Utah), music (classical, Norah Jones), and soccer.
Jane McDougall received her Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1996, where she studied functions of one complex variable. She has been a member of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Colorado College since 1997, during which time her research interests have grown into geometric function theory and harmonic mappings.
Jim Rolf was born in Nashville, Tennessee but moved to his adopted home state of Texas at age two. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics in his home town of Waco, Texas while attending Baylor University. This was followed by a Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1997 he completed his doctoral work in numerical analysis at Duke University under the direction of William K. Allard. After three years on the faculty at West Point, Jim moved to Colorado Springs, CO and the math department at the United States Air Force Academy. In the fall of 2012, Jim will join the math department at Yale University. In addition to his professional interests, Jim enjoys cycling, gardening, and woodworking.
Lisbeth Drews Schaubroeck was born in the Netherlands, but spent most of her childhood in Geneseo, Illinois. She earned her bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Mathematics Education at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. In 1998, she completed her doctoral work in complex analysis at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the direction of John Pfaltzgraff. Currently, Beth is a professor at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorada. There she enjoys teaching all levels of undergraduate mathematics to future Air Force officers. She is active in the Rocky Mountain Section of the MAA and has been on the awards committee and the student activities coordinator.

Richard L. Stankewitz was born in Royal Oak, Michigan. He earned a bachelor's degree with distinction in mathematics from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1991. He obtained a Ph.D. in 1998 under the direction of his advisor Aimo Hinkkanen at the University of Illinois at Urbana in the field of complex dynamics. Dr. Stankewitz held positions at Texas A&M University at College Station and Penn State University at Erie before coming to Ball State University in 2002, where in 2010 he attained his current position of Professor of Mathematics. He is a member of the AMS and has a long time interest in supporting efforts to encourage undergraduate research in mathematics. In addition to publishing over 15 research articles, he has given talks in over 50 national and international conferences, universities, and colleges.
Ken Stephenson was born in South Haven, Michigan, in 1945. He received a BS in mathematics at Michigan and an MS in mathematics at Wisconsin before serving 3 years as a Naval Officer. He returned to his studies at Wisconsin, receiving his Ph.D. under Walter Rudin in 1976. From Wisconsin he joined the faculty at the University of Tennessee, where he continues his research and teaching. Complex function theory and the associated conformal geometry have remained Dr. Stephenson's core mathematical interest, but in 1985 a fascinating talk by Bill Thurston on "circle packing" profoundly changed his outlook. He began contributing to the development of circle packing and its associated "discrete" conformal geometry through publications and software, culminating in his 2005 book, Introduction to Circle Packing: the Theory of Discrete Analytic Functions, Cambridge University Press, and his software package "CirclePack". This is a new type of experimentally driven mathematics, and his principal goal now is promoting circle packing and its applications. Dr. Stephenson has been supported throughout his years of research by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Tennessee Science Alliance, and currently the Simons Foundation. He has spoken on circle packing at numerous national and international conferences and has held visiting positions at the University of Hawaii, the Open University (England), the University of Cambridge, Florida State University, the Technical University of Berlin, the Free University of Berlin, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Mathematical Sciences Center (Tsinghua University, Beijing). He is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America, and is a Fellow of AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science).

THE FARMERS A BRIEF HISTORY - by Big Dick Thomas
Nobody knows why The Farmers are called The Farmers. They began life in the 1950s as the festival and touring side of The Old Buckwellians HC, based in Essex, with the name being used mainly for end-of-season visits to the Thanet International Hockey Festival in Ramsgate. Since 1970, when the Old Bucks or Roding HC as they were by then ceased to exist, The Farmers have not been attached to any one club. Founder member Geoff Gosford was made President by acclaim in a drink-fuelled frenzy in 2002, but there are no elected officials as such.
At the end of Roding HCs final season, The Farmers made their usual visit to Thanet. By the following season, most of the players still living around the Woodford/Chigwell area (and Frank Hardy in Cambridge) had joined the Old Loughtonians. The lure of Thanet, however, and of Mrs Brewsters unique hospitality at The Lawns Hotel, was too much to resist. Spiced up with some Old Loughts and odds and sods from elsewhere, The Farmers returned to Ramsgate with renewed vigour. A new kit in bright pink symbolised the new era. Sweatshirts were ordered carrying the words Born to Lose, which somehow appeared as Baru ta Case now adopted as the teams official slogan.
The Thanet festival has now bitten the dust, and Mrs Brewster is cooking breakfast for the angels (and telling them that the bar closes in two minutes). But a thriving Farmers Golf Society meets throughout the year, there is a get-together in London every Christmas and, at the end of April, members from far and wide head for Ramsgate and the Sunaway Trophy golf competition, hockey at Jackey Bakers, and the attentions of the rampant local women (if only).

Originally published in Tigers East/Alpines East's newsletter, Rootes Review.
By Gary Schotland with assistance from Larry Atkisson & Joe Rodriguez.
Used by permission.
Imagine an Alpine with performance that will blow the doors off a stock Tiger and embarrass more than a few modified ones: 300+ reliable horses, 0-60 in 5 seconds, and under 12 seconds in the quarter mile, all with the more balanced handling of an Alpine. Stop dreaming. Such a machine does exist. It is a turbocharged and intercooled version of the Ford 2.8 liter V6 so many Alpine owners, in search of a little kick in the pants and "something different," have been talking about dropping into their cars.
This beast is the brainchild of Joe Rodriguez of Seattle, Washington, a die hard, Southern California-bred speed nut who has spent over ten years playing with Alpines and almost as many years turning his into both the ultimate sleeper and a nice, reliable long-distance cruiser (the two don't have to be mutually exclusive). He could write a book about all the pimply-faced teenagers driving pumped-up Camaros and Mustangs who he has sent back to their playgrounds in tears. And during the course of his quest for a reliable, killer Alpine, Joe has engineered a kit which makes it easy for the average enthusiast who has a little mechanical ability to put a V6 in his/her Alpine. No cutting, welding, or fabricating custom headers and brackets through "reverse engineering." To date, over a dozen kits are in service and they're still going strong.
Sounds pretty good, but you're not so sure you need 300 horsepower in your Alpine? That's the beauty of this conversion and of Joe's kit. He's done all the hard work for you by designing and fabricating the installation kit. Depending on your priorities and the size of your wallet, your Alpine can be mild, wild, or anywhere in between. It's all up to you.
So what does Joe's kit include and how much does it cost? This neat little package includes custom-designed engine and transmission mounting brackets with rubber mounts, a pair of equally custom, flow-optimized headers, and as much technical support as you need for only $750. This sounds like a lot until you consider how much time, money, and aggravation you'll save in the long run by using the kit, even if you are a "whiz-bang" mechanic who thrives on challenges.
Ever try to have the guy at the local muffler shop bend and weld a few pipes to make a couple of headers for you when all he had was a few measurements to work with? At $30 - $40/hr, you can get to $750 in a hurry and the results are guaranteed to be less than optimal. And imagine how many times you'll have to take the engine in and out of your car to test fit those muffler shop headers? That's a lot of wasted weekends and money for cases of beer for your buddies. Get the picture? If the kit price hasn't scared you off, read on...
The remainder of this article details, system by system, required modifications along with some of the more popular optional upgrades.
The Ford 2.8 liter V6 required for the conversion comes from the so called Mustang II, which was produced from 1974 to 1978, and from the German Ford Capri, which was produced from 1974 to 1977. (Note: Ford's 2.6 liter from the '72-'73 Capri V6 cannot be used with this kit.) By anyone's measure, the Mustang II was the least attractive and wimpiest Mustang ever. Because of this, they are far from sought after by collectors. In other words, it won't take much digging to find one with a donor engine at your local junkyard. Expect to pay about $100-$200 for a rebuildable engine. Be very skeptical about paying a premium for a "rebuilt" engine. Assume you're going to have to rebuild it. A basically stock rebuild by a shop should cost around $1000 including parts, or you could do it yourself and pay $500-$600 for all the parts and machine work (block boring, etc.). Rebuild parts are readily available from Performance Automotive Wholesale (P.A.W.) in California, among other sources. There were far less Capri's imported, so you'll be less likely to find one of these. If you do, expect to pay the same as for a Mustang engine, because it offers no advantages.
Right out of the box, with its restrictive cast iron exhaust manifolds, smog equipment, very mild cam, and 2 barrel Holley carb, the 2.8 V6 produces 105 hp. No big deal. An Alpine puts out almost that much, right? Horsepower, maybe on a good day when your Strombergs aren't giving you fits, but as far as torque, it doesn't even come close. Bolt on Joe's headers and for a few hundred bucks more, install a little hotter cam, a remanufactured 390 CFM Holley 4 barrel, and shave the heads 30 thousandths to raise the compression from 8.0:1 to 8.5:1, and before you know it, the engine's putting out a solid 150 hp. This is nearly as much power as a stock Tiger and more than enough to swiftly move an Alpine. And if you're on a budget, this is probably the best route to take. In the future, when funds permit, you could easily do some head modifications to push out a few more ponies.
Beyond the above upgrades, things start to get much more expensive. You could go with an even hotter cam, put in larger exhaust and intake valves, lighten the flywheel, raise the compression even more, port and polish the heads, or even add a turbocharger and intercooler. For example, to completely modify the heads would cost on the order of $800 for a shop to do it for you. As always, the sky's the limit.
The least expensive transmission you can use is the Borg Warner 4 speed that originally came with the Mustang II. The Capri transmission cannot be used mainly due to clearance problems, but also because it's not as well put together as the Mustang unit and probably cannot handle the power of a "hot" engine. The next step up is a Borg Warner T54 from a '84 or later Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Joe says this is a very worthwhile upgrade. Again, plenty of these should be available at your local junkyard. Expect to pay $100-$150 for a Mustang 4 spd and $250 & up for a T54 (more than adequate). For overkill you can go with a T5 out of a late model Mustang for $600+ but it has less than optimal gearing for the conversion. Naturally, try to find a transmission with low mileage, and try to get the yard to give you some kind of guarantee. A reputable yard should.
With the Mustang II 4 speed, the stock Mustang II clutch and pressure plate are quite adequate. If you're going with the T54 or T5, Joe recommends a stock Mustang II clutch and a McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing. The McLeod throwout bearing costs about $285. For the clutch master can stick with stock Alpine unit (5/8" bore) or for more throw, change to a stock Tiger unit, which has a 3/4" bore.
Stock Alpines came with a two row radiator, which in warmer climates provides inadequate cooling capacity. Thankfully, radiator technology has moved ahead in the last thirty years, so it is now possible for a mere $175-$200 to greatly improve cooling by replacing your old core with a new three row core. In addition, the inlet and outlet locations will need to be moved in order to accommodate the V6 plumbing. Any competent radiator shop should be able to easily handle all of this. Not only is the three core radiator a nice upgrade for a stock Alpine, but it is absolutely required for the V6 conversion. Another nice addition is a Flexolite plastic fan for $20, which will be far superior to the stock fan, which tends to fatigue and break (I know from experience).
The steering system is kept stock except that the center link rod which sits behind the engine must be modified so that it sits back 0.5" and 1" higher. If you're handy with a welder, Joe can instruct you how to fabricate a center link using tie rod ends from a Ford Fiesta, or he can have one made up for you for $125 complete (in addition to the basic kit cost).
This will have to be custom fabricated by an experienced muffler shop at a cost of around $350. As system similar to the one used on a Tiger (2" pipes, 2 oval mufflers, etc) is the best way to go. If you plan to go with a system similar to the one in a Tiger, it might be possible (and more cost effective) to purchase some of the parts for your muffler shop to work with such as the mufflers and tailpipes. For a little more money, consider going with an all stainless system which will probable never have to be replaced.
A giant leap up the food chain is the Ford electronic ignition system originally supplied with the Mustang II. It's very reliable and will relieve you of having to deal will breaker points. Joe strongly recommends it and can tell you exactly how to painlessly integrate this into your system.
Naturally, your stock tach must be recalibrated. Tiger Tom or any other shop intimately familiar with Sunbeam instruments can probably recalibrate it for a nominal fee.
A Ford Fairmont or Maverick alternator (smaller and cheaper than a Mustang II) is an inexpensive way to go, or any number of GM alternators can be used just as easily. This depends on your preference.
The stock temperature sending unit can be made to fit using a commonly available adapter.
Since it won't be possible to use the original Alpine mechanical fuel pump, Joe recommends a good quality electric pump such as a Holley or Carter ($30-$50). It must be mounted underneath the car a bit lower than the gas tanks so fuel will gravity feed.
The suspension can be left completely stock. If funds permit, consider installing performance shocks such as Konis or Spax and changing to polyurethane A-arm bushings.
With a budget conversion, it may be possible to stay with the stock rear end with a couple of minor performance modifications. However, if you like to drive your car hard, chances are the stock rear won't last long. A logical and easy substitute is a stock Tiger rear, which can probably be had for around $300. Stock Tigers came with 2.88 gear ratio, but Joe strongly recommends changing this to a more optimal 3.31 ($200-$300). Another option is to shorten the axle tubes 3" on a Ford Mustang II 8" rear with a 3.55:1 ratio (probably around $150 plus shortening charge). Next, spend another $129 at your favorite hot rod mail order house for an adaptor kit so the stock handbrake can be used with the new rear brakes.
If you're going to do the bulk of the work yourself, a basic conversion will run around $2000. Depending on how much you want to use from the Mustang II, it might be more cost effective to buy an entire parts car for $300-$500 and then dispose of what you don't use. You'll be pushing close to $3000 if you're going to have the engine rebuilt for you, add engine performance upgrades, or would like a T5 transmission, among other things. As always, you can get as fancy as you want provided you pockets are very deep.
In closing, if you're serious about the V6 conversion for your Alpine, take the path of least resistance by starting with a kit that will virtually guarantee results you'll be both impressed with and proud of. If you really want a Tiger, buy one because you probably won't save much by doing this conversion. Still interested?

Revenge Season 2: Does Jack Porter Really Love Amanda Clarke?
After spending most of Revenge Season 1 rooting for childhood sweethearts Jack Porter and Emily Thorne to finally be together, we have come to a shocking realization in 2013, and are now we're all for Amanda Clarke to be with her baby daddy and faux-love.
No, she didn't hit us over the head with a shovel or anything, but it just really seems like they'd be happier together. Emily clearly needs someone with a bit of danger in his life, and apart from getting himself into lots of trouble on accident, Jack Porter has nothing to offer in that department.
Not that he isn't a babe (well, minus the hair). It's just that Amanda wants to lead a simple, white-picket-fence-stripper-heels-next-to-the-baby-crib kind of lifestyle, while Ems is all about vengeance and poets named Daniel Grayson.
So could Jack and Amanda really be in love now? They certainly seem to be insync now that they're wedding planning and he's making her polluted sea glass necklaces!
But what do you think? Are they really in love? Weigh in below!

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers could be set to sign another striker as he is keeping tabs on Wigan's Franco Di Santo.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez publicly insists they are hopeful of keeping the 23-year-old Argentina international.
But privately the Wigan hierarchy fear he will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season.
That has alerted Rodgers who knows Di Santo from their days together as young player and coach at Chelsea.
Rodgers remains an admirer and if it is a deal he can get done for free next summer to bolster his squad then it will appeal.
Liverpool have already agreed a deal with Chelsea for Daniel Sturridge to join in January for around £12m.
Rodgers has made a habit of signing former players who he rates, trusts and believes in and Di Santo also fits into his style of football.
Wigan will try to keep Di Santo but may be fighting a losing battle.

When the Portsmouth City Health Department has put foreclosed properties up for sale, through the Land Reutilization Program, they have gone like hotcakes. Now they have 23 more available for purchase.
"Those are three-year tax delinquent properties," Andy Gedeon, Director of Environmental Health for the City Health Department, said. "The taxes aren't being paid, so the city can sieze those based on the tax delinquency. All the liens, all the back taxes are stripped. The properties are appraised, and the city offers them for resale."
Gedeon said the best part of the program is that the money goes back into the tax base and the schools receive the money.
"Once the city receives the property or gets the deed on the property, all the liens are stripped. It starts brand new," Gedeon said. "There's no back taxes, no liens if the weeds were cut or if any solid waste was removed. Everything is stripped. It starts over at zero."
Gedeon said many people who live next door to the properties buy them for expansion purposes.
"A lot of these lots you can't develop, based on the current regulations," Gedeon said. "So for a very low price you get a chance to expand your yard, get a bigger yard."
Gedeon said all properties have been appraised through a local appraiser.
"If they see a property they are interested in, they can stop by, fill out an application, and we can give them a price," Gedeon said. "It's run through a committee. There's five or six people on the committee and they have to give their approval."
Gedeon said if two people apply for the property, and the committee can't deem one more worthy than the other, it goes to a sealed bid process.
"We have a list available at the office, and we're beginning to update our (Portsmouth city) website," Gedeon said. "Or they can call the Health Department at 740-353-5153, and request, and we can have one mailed to them."

What is a balloon?
Did you know?
Fact number 1
The volume of the largest open stratospheric balloons used by Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) can be up to 1,200,000 m3.
Fact number 2
The height of a deployed balloon, including the flight chain, is about 300 m, about half as tall as the CN Tower.
Fact number 3
The envelope alone can be as high as a 35-floor building, or the height of the tower of Montreal's Olympic Stadium; and its diameter is equivalent to the size of 2 hockey rinks or 2 Airbus A-340s.
Fact number 4
The area of the envelope, if deployed flat, is equivalent to approximately 8 soccer fields.
Fact number 5
For more information on other types of balloons, visit the following website: www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-fr/8510-differents-types-de-ballons.php (French only).
Text description of image - Comparison of the CN Tower to Stratospheric balloon
(Credit: Canadian Space Agency)
Stratospheric balloons were first used as research tools for the scientific study of the atmosphere and astronomy. The era of space conquest provided an opportunity for rethinking the use of these balloons for purposes beyond scientific research. Balloons are now used for such things as testing new technology applications before being placed on satellites for long-duration space missions.
Modern-day balloons – typically made out of ultra-thin plastic filled with helium – can stretch into a gigantic upside-down "teardrop" shape more than half as tall as the CN Tower, or about the height of the Eiffel Tower.
Equipped with several gondolas suspended on the flight chain, these remotely controlled atmospheric balloons can carry science, astronomy, atmospheric chemistry, weather forecasting and technological demonstration payloads weighing up to 1.1 tonnes.
These balloons require no engine and no fuel and are fully recoverable after a flight. They can reach altitudes of up to 42 km, holding their instrument packages aloft for up to 10 hours. Long-duration flights, lasting days, weeks and even months, are under consideration for the near future.

Murder investigation launched after two found dead in West Bridgford house
Posted: April 27, 2012|
A MURDER investigation has been launched after the bodies of two people were found in a West Bridgford house yesterday.
The bodies of a 64-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were found just after 11am at the North Road property.
Police are treating the deaths as suspicious and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
The bodies have not yet been formally identified.
Said Detective Chief Inspector Kate Meynell: "A team of detectives are working on this inquiry in order to piece together the chain of events leading up to the deaths.
"At this stage I would like to reassure the community that we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident."
An incident room has been set up and forensic officers are examining the North Road scene. They are expected to remain there into tomorrow.
Police are also conducting house-to-house enquiries and cordons are also in place at two other addresses in the area as part of the investigation.
Home Office post-mortem examinations into the cause of death will be carried out today.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Holditch hit goal trail to pile misery on Millstone
Posted: November 27, 2012|
HOLDITCH are the new leaders of Division One after putting 13 goals past bottom club Millstone Inn.
With previous leaders The Barrel not in action, Holditch took full advantage to open up a two-point lead after making it seven straight league wins so far this season.
Millstone, on the other hand, are still trying to grind out their first point of the season having lost all nine games, but are still only four points adrift of safety.
Simon Fowler and Chris Mountford led the way for Holditch with hat-tricks, while Simon Freeman and Levi Bradbury bagged braces. There were also goals from Harry Williams, Danny Moss and Rob Lawton.
Related content
The only other match played in the division saw Bentilee move up three places to third following a 2-0 win at Stella Bucharest, who remain fourth-from-bottom.
Jonathan Baker gave Bentilee a half-time lead, with Nathan Campbell wrapping up the points in the second half.
One match was played in the Premier Division, which involved two teams fighting for survival.
Fourth-bottom Congress travelled to Trent Vale to take on second-bottom Castle Mona and returned with a point from a 1-1 draw.
The match was goalless at half-time, but Mark Pearce netted in the second half for Castle Mona, while Adam Gilmore found the net for Congress.
Locomotive made it through to the second round of the Premier Division Cup with a 4-2 win at second-placed Hawk.
The Heron Cross-based pub side, three places below Hawk in the table, took a two-goal lead at half-time through Glen Ray and Kev Davies.
And although Hawk fought back to score twice through Chris Clarke and Simon Gold, Locomotive got up a fresh head of steam to win the tie with a strike from Lee Middleton and an own goal.
Out of four Staffs FA Sunday Trophy matches, only Longton Area and Leek and District Sunday League side Waterhouses saw any action.
And it was the Traders League side Longton who took advantage of a couple of mistakes in the Waterhouses defence to take a 2-0 lead through Tom Mellor.
However, the visitors from the Moorlands fought back and reduced the arrears through Brian Mycock in the 37th minute.
In the second half, Waterhouses continued to give as good as they got and eventually equalised through Paul Jacklin.
However, Longton Area had the last say when they hit Waterhouses on the break and scored the winner five minutes from time through Simon Worthington.

Just Switch...Need Advice
I just switched to mac and was wondering if having antivirus installed is worth it, also is there any free antivirus software you recommend?
The quick and easy answer is no and no. Check the following thread. The first post is as valid today as it was then.
I have one installed on my Mac and I run it once a month or so (when I run OnyX and calibrate my battery).
I only run it because I do not want to pass on a virus or trojan to my Windows buddies (Never had a virus or trojan show up in a scan, though).
As mentioned above, there is no reason to have an AV, this is not Windows.
But if you choose to run one, I would suggest iAntivirus. Just disable it from running on startup and disable auto scans.
Trust me, read the aforementioned thread.
I'm running Win 7 via Bootcamp only because I have a need to run Outlook for work. Everything else I've found a Mac application for. Believe me I would really like to find an Outlook equivalent but have not so far. Also I have 3,200 contacts, to deal with. To the topic: I would _never_ run an antivirus app on the Mac side, its just not needed. Fear based selling has gotten out of control. There is no need for AV apps on a Mac.
Thanks for the help guys
