How about an entry about how Selina Kyle is hot?
No. Because I'm sure It'd get into the sexism thing. Although here I could argue about the objectification of women but-
Yeah, it'd get too moral/religious too fast.
Besides, I'd die halfway through writing such an entry.
I can very much get behind a Selina Kyle is hot movement.
If we're doing Selina Kyle is hot, we should also do Captain America is hot.
- Tilius
Idunno, Cap just isn't that great. Maybe the new Spiderman...
The hair.
And relax.
- Tilius
I think I'd be in favor of Tony Stark.
The new spidy remains me of Twilight vampires.
TEAM JACOB. Joke. But if I had to choose....
- Tilius
This entry has not degenerated into a discussion about hair.
Please humor me by agreeing.
New Spidey has better hair than Catwoman.
- Tilius
Half the fun of this is watching it degenerate into random insanity.
There is a saying, regarding lunatics and asylums.....
As the opposite of what you say is true, your statement must be erroneous.
If we're doing Selina Kyle is hot, we should also do Captain America is hot.
- Tilius
Something about asylums and lunatics in upper management. On the tip of my tongue.........annnnnnd I lost it.
I KNOW RIGHT?! Just the hair puts me off a bit. Needs an Andrew Garfield RESTYLE.
- Tilius
I'm sorry, but I found something far more beautiful than Thor and the other examples.
Seriously, soooo much more aesthetically appealing than a puny human or two.
Meh, the first one has some decent chest definition but not much else. As for the second one, the phrase 'do you even lift?' comes to mind.
- Tilius
As much as I would love to talk about the hunky men of the Avengers, that's being taken care of, so let me give a very respectful holler to Gwen Stacey, may she stay away from raised surfaces.
That hurt.
Armor doesn't have muscles.
Admit it though, if Thor wore either of those (especially the second) there would be no way to deny how awesome he would look.
I'm going with DeeVee on this one, Thor is just too much of a looker to pass over.
That hurt.
Armor doesn't have muscles.
Admit it though, if Thor wore either of those (especially the second) there would be no way to deny how awesome he would look.
True. Assuming it didn't have the fabric part.
So we're all saying that Thor is better than Captain America? See, that surprises me, I always thought Captain America was the better looking, but perhaps too much of a stereotypical pretty boy.
- Tilius
How 'bout Marvel vs DC?
I liked Captain Marvel better in Avenger honestly, except when he had that mask on...
Well, with Thor, Captain and new Spidey alone, Marvel wins. DC has....I suppose Bane is alright without the mask, Nightwing and Robin are good in Arkham City (though lose points for not being real). WAIT DC has Henry Cavill. PERHAPS A CLOSER FIGHT THAN I THOUGHT.
And don't even get me started on female characters! (Seriously. I wouldn't know what to say. SEXIST).
Muse > Radiohead.
- Tilius
Sorry, I like Thor, but he has far too much definition. But that Loki.
Nah, too skinny. Though that doesn't put me off new Spidey. I'M SO INCONSISTENT.
- Tilius
Muse > Radiohead.
This is accurate.
I just think it's funny because they filmed Thor in both films (but especially in his own film) with the same camera tactics they use to film "hot" women, pulling the male gaze in. I know a lot of people who were uncomfortable after, because that filming style is designed to make one feel attracted to the one being gazed-upon. It was supposed to be because he's a god and he's higher than all of us and yada-yada, but long story short: you're supposed to think Thor is hot.

[1/19/2011 9:34:40 AM] Dovydas: I advocate independence for adverbs from the tyranny of adjectives.
Ah. 13.
That special age when a person has been chocked full of "facts" and "knowledge" that he truly begins to lose sight of the magics of our world and decides Santa Claus is nonexistant and Hallow's eve is childish.
He decides the Boogey Man is blasphemy and Faeries are fraudulous,
that Centaurs ride in fables, not forests.
That Dragons are Delusions and Pixies are poppycock.
So they do not get that there are things that cannot be seen.
There are hidden worlds all around us.
-Unknown (If you made this quote, PM me so I can give you credit.)
I'll still open a door for a lady; you never know when the girl you might be hanging out with is really a ninja waiting to strike you while your back is turned upon entering a room before her.
Safety first, men.
@ Legolover-361 : If I use one of those corny lines at eighteen, I bet girls will call the police on me.
[20:36:26] @ Legolover-361 : If I try to explain that it's "true love," like people say in Disney movies, they'll slap me and then call the police on me.
[20:36:50] @ Aderia : if you sing them love songs outside their window, the same thing will happen
[20:36:54] @ Legolover-361 : See, Disney, life isn't all about princes falling in love with princesses.
-Legolover-361 and Aderia.
I don't care if these "plastic bricks" were a better marketing decision, or if it gives LEGO employees food, home or clothing, or even if LEGO is a business in the first place. I just want my wooden ducks back because I want to be happy and I'm not going to give up a kid's toyline, not even if there was a similar one being made like it right now with a different name OR they continued the story for the fanbase. LEGO is just a cruel heartless evil greedy big fat meenie head by canceling the ducks.
if you were true fans to bionicle you would support it's return you are not fans if you don't want it to come back even if you followed the entire story and loved them and bought every set and had joined a website with a large fanbase for them and made tons of friends and talked about bionicle every day and then when it ended you moved on to hero factory and don't want bionicle to come back you aren't a fan then because you thought it was going downhill and didn't like every single little aspect of it and you don't want it to come back and you aren't petitioning lego like mad and throwing temper tantrums left and right and aren't carrying on bionicle's revolutionary legacy means you are all traitors to those who want their most favorite toy back we know our fantasy will come true because we are here we are waiting and we want our bionicle and if star trek fans had as a group said no point in talking about this anymore it's never going to come back it never would have come back and lego is pushing their poorly designed and overpriced hero factory in little kids faces bionicle didn't need it so we have evidence to prove that our toy line which we simply cannot live without is going to come back because we will hold our breath and storm denmark if we don't get our way which we will because we always get our way and get what we want even if it comes back in ten years we can ask for the entire new line of bionicle for our thirtieth birthday and when bionicle comes back we'll have plenty of money to buy them because we didn't betray bionicle and buy hero factory like you all did you annoying little black hearted meanies who call yourselves fans when you're not you stinky shoe wearing snobs who don't agree with the movement to bring bionicle back
-where did i go wrong.

Sheriff John P. Burns and the Jefferson County Legislature are butting heads again this time about overcrowding at the county jail.
Last week, 65 prisoners were sent to other jails because there was no room for them at the countys facility. Mr. Burns called it a record, saying it was the most he could ever remember housing out.
Corrections officers are paid time and a half for transportation duties. In 2012, outboarding inmates cost the county more than $850,000.
And thats not counting the fatigue that the officers are feeling as a result of moving inmates all over the state.
Many inmates are sent to Albany County a 3�-hour, 170-mile trip each way. The trips are stressful because of weather and security concerns.
Every time we take an inmate out of this facility, it is a security breach, Mr. Burns said.
He said that expanding the jail would reduce stress on corrections officers and help offset costs by housing inmates from other counties and Fort Drum.
There are legislators that certainly enjoy the economic boom that we see here but dont want to pay for services, Mr. Burns said.
Legislator Philip N. Reed Sr., R-Fishers Landing, chairman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators General Services Committee, which oversees the sheriffs budget, said that his first responsibility is to the taxpayers.
He and other legislators are balking at the cost of expanding the jail, which would add an estimated $2 million to the countys annual budget for 15 years, according to a study commissioned by the county.
That annual cost would equal almost a 5 percent increase in the tax levy, according to Gregory C. Hudson, county information technology director.
Mr. Reed said he couldnt justify spending that kind of money when there are people in jeopardy of losing their homes. Instead, he is asking that the county exhaust all other possibilities before committing to the project.
Were ready to come to the table and we would welcome the state, he said.
Both Mr. Reed and Mr. Burns acknowledge that part of the overcrowding issue is the increasing number of inmates released from state prison who end up in county facilities because of parole violations.
You violate state parole, you should go back to state prison, Mr. Burns said.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, is sponsoring a bill to try to alleviate that problem. It would require parole violators to be transferred to a state correctional facility within 10 days.
It passed the Senate twice but was not picked up in the Assembly. This year, the bill is being sponsored by Assemblywoman Aileen M. Gunther, D-Forestburgh.
The bill is facing a hearing campaign next Wednesday.
This is a huge opportunity for the state to provide some mandate relief to the county by opening up the Watertown facility, Mrs. Ritchie said.
The Watertown Correctional Facility at Dry Hill is a transportation hub and recently closed two dormitories that could be back up and running shortly, Mrs. Ritchie said, making it an ideal place to house parole violators instead of in Jefferson or Oswego counties, where space is at a premium.
The state already is required to take custody of inmates sentenced to state prison terms within 10 days and is generally pretty good about doing so, according to Mr. Burns.
Mr. Reed has proposed that state facilities take on county inmates who are not parole violators as well.
It is a suggestion that Mr. Burns views with skepticism.
It cannot be done. It is illegal, he said, adding that state corrections officers are paid more than county officers and that the arrangement would end up costing the county money.
But that answer didnt placate Mr. Reed, who said that he is tired of hearing that it cant be done.
Everything should be on the table, he said. Part of his argument is that the repeal of the Rockefeller drug laws has landed many criminals in county lockup who previously would have been sentenced to state prison.
Somebody made their problem our problem, Mr. Reed said. As for the increased cost, he said, the specifics of an arrangement with the state are hard to determine without an open exchange of information.
He acknowledged that the jail eventually may be expanded if the population in the county continues to grow.
Shipping people around the state isnt a long-term plan, he said.
But, with stagnant construction costs in a downturn economy, Mr. Reed said, the Legislature must wait for a more opportune moment to break ground.
According to Mr. Burns, the cost of the expansion only increases the longer legislators wait.

Submission Ontario teachers' union calls for classroom Wi-Fi ban->
KJE writes: "The CBC is reporting that an Ontario teachers' union is calling for an end to new Wi-Fi setups in the province's 1,400-plus Catholic schools. The Ontario English Catholic Teacher's Association (OECTA) says computers in all new schools should be hardwired instead of setting up wireless networks. The OECTA, in its paper (PDF), said the "safety of this technology has not thoroughly been researched and therefore the precautionary principle and prudent avoidance of exposure should be practised.""

Could a stipulation involving some needed property for the Woolworth building project put a wrinkle in getting its restoration to move forward?
The Watertown City Council will be asked tonight to eliminate a provision requiring the so-called Iron Block/Woodruff II property to revert to the city if the developers fail to proceed with the $15.4 million project within three years.
Developers David Gallo and Erich H. Seber plan to convert the Public Square landmark into 50 apartments on the upper floors and commercial space on the ground floor. They want the green space between Cams New York Pizza and the Woodruff Professional Building where the Iron Block once stood for tenant parking.
David Gallo has informed us that this reversion clause causes great concern to the potential investors of the tax credits, Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community development coordinator, wrote in a memo to council members last week. So much that they feel it will jeopardize the deal. The developer is, therefore, requesting that these conditions be removed from the sale authorization.
Mr. Mix wrote that all of the financial and property closings, including the green space, will occur on the same day, meaning the developers are fully committed to the project.
Mr. Mix, City Manager Sharon A. Addison and City Assessor Brian S. Phelps were unavailable for comment Friday. The developers also could not be reached.
In December, the council agreed to give the developers a three-year option on the green space for $1, instead of just selling it to them.
But Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso plans to ask some questions on why the developers are making the request. The developers will be at the meeting to provide more information on why it is needed, she said.
I just want to make sure the city is protected, she said Friday.
Council members tonight also will be asked to give their consent to a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement with the developers.
The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency put together the proposed tax-abatement package. JCIDA officials are asking the council to proceed with the package.
The three taxing jurisdictions the city, the county and the Watertown City School District must approve the tax agreement.
The school board approved it last Monday with no debate. The county still must take action.
The PILOT would start at a fixed rate of $9,000. In year five, it would increase to $12,000, then go up to $15,000 in the 10th year. The full payment of $24,578 would occur in the 16th year.
JCIDA will own the property and lease it to the developers until the PILOT expires.
In May, the developers were awarded $1.073 million in housing tax credits and an additional $750,000 in Housing Trust Fund money for the project. They also have a $2.5 million Restore New York grant for the project.

Piccadilly Theatre
Venue Information
Approx. capacity: 1232
At its grand opening in April 1928, the Piccadilly Theatre was one of the largest theatres to be built in London, as its souvenir brochure claimed, "If all the bricks used in the building were laid in a straight line, they would stretch from London to Paris". The opening production starred one of the most acclaimed actresses of the period, Miss Evelyn Laye. In its early days, the Piccadilly operated as a cinema and made entertainment history when it premiered the very first talking picture to be shown in Britain, The Singing Fool with Al Jolson. He also opened the Jazz Singer in 1928 and appeared afterwards on-stage to sing Mammie. The Piccadilly has presented most forms of stage entertainment from Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? (with its original Broadway cast) to A Night with Dame Edna. There have been a variety of Royal Shakespeare Company productions including Edward II starring Ian McKellen, and Henry Fonda also made his West End debut in the solo play, Clarence Darrow and Y. The 1990s witnessed an expansion in musicals, ballet and dance, notably the most successful commercial ballet season ever to play in the West End, with Adventures in Motion Pictures' Swan Lake. The Piccadilly has been home to a season of plays directed by Sir Peter Hall, starring famous names such as Judi Dench, Michael Pennington, Julia MacKenzie and Eric Sykes. It has also hosted the smash-hit musical Spend Spend Spend starring the Olivier award-winning actress, Barbara Dickson, the sell-out run of Shockheaded Peter, Noises Off starring Lynn Redgrave, Ragtime,the transfer of the National Theatre''s acclaimed production of Jumpers and most recently Jailhouse Rock.

42 U.S. Code § 7525 - Motor vehicle and motor vehicle engine compliance testing and certification
(a) Testing and issuance of certificate of conformity
(1) The Administrator shall test, or require to be tested in such manner as he deems appropriate, any new motor vehicle or new motor vehicle engine submitted by a manufacturer to determine whether such vehicle or engine conforms with the regulations prescribed under section 7521 of this title. If such vehicle or engine conforms to such regulations, the Administrator shall issue a certificate of conformity upon such terms, and for such period (not in excess of one year), as he may prescribe. In the case of any original equipment manufacturer (as defined by the Administrator in regulations promulgated before November 15, 1990) of vehicles or vehicle engines whose projected sales in the United States for any model year (as determined by the Administrator) will not exceed 300, the Administrator shall not require, for purposes of determining compliance with regulations under section 7521 of this title for the useful life of the vehicle or engine, operation of any vehicle or engine manufactured during such model year for more than 5,000 miles or 160 hours, respectively, unless the Administrator, by regulation, prescribes otherwise. The Administrator shall apply any adjustment factors that the Administrator deems appropriate to assure that each vehicle or engine will comply during its useful life (as determined under section 7521 (d) of this title) with the regulations prescribed under section 7521 of this title.
(2) The Administrator shall test any emission control system incorporated in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine submitted to him by any person, in order to determine whether such system enables such vehicle or engine to conform to the standards required to be prescribed under section 7521 (b) of this title. If the Administrator finds on the basis of such tests that such vehicle or engine conforms to such standards, the Administrator shall issue a verification of compliance with emission standards for such system when incorporated in vehicles of a class of which the tested vehicle is representative. He shall inform manufacturers and the National Academy of Sciences, and make available to the public, the results of such tests. Tests under this paragraph shall be conducted under such terms and conditions (including requirements for preliminary testing by qualified independent laboratories) as the Administrator may prescribe by regulations.
(A) A certificate of conformity may be issued under this section only if the Administrator determines that the manufacturer (or in the case of a vehicle or engine for import, any person) has established to the satisfaction of the Administrator that any emission control device, system, or element of design installed on, or incorporated in, such vehicle or engine conforms to applicable requirements of section 7521 (a)(4) of this title.
(B) The Administrator may conduct such tests and may require the manufacturer (or any such person) to conduct such tests and provide such information as is necessary to carry out subparagraph (A) of this paragraph. Such requirements shall include a requirement for prompt reporting of the emission of any unregulated pollutant from a system, device, or element of design if such pollutant was not emitted, or was emitted in significantly lesser amounts, from the vehicle or engine without use of the system, device, or element of design.
(A) Not later than 12 months after November 15, 1990, the Administrator shall revise the regulations promulgated under this subsection to add test procedures capable of determining whether model year 1994 and later model year light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks, when properly maintained and used, will pass the inspection methods and procedures established under section 7541 (b) of this title for that model year, under conditions reasonably likely to be encountered in the conduct of inspection and maintenance programs, but which those programs cannot reasonably influence or control. The conditions shall include fuel characteristics, ambient temperature, and short (30 minutes or less) waiting periods before tests are conducted. The Administrator shall not grant a certificate of conformity under this subsection for any 1994 or later model year vehicle or engine that the Administrator concludes cannot pass the test procedures established under this paragraph.
(b) Testing procedures; hearing; judicial review; additional evidence
(1) In order to determine whether new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines being manufactured by a manufacturer do in fact conform with the regulations with respect to which the certificate of conformity was issued, the Administrator is authorized to test such vehicles or engines. Such tests may be conducted by the Administrator directly or, in accordance with conditions specified by the Administrator, by the manufacturer.
(i) If, based on tests conducted under paragraph (1) on a sample of new vehicles or engines covered by a certificate of conformity, the Administrator determines that all or part of the vehicles or engines so covered do not conform with the regulations with respect to which the certificate of conformity was issued and with the requirements of section 7521 (a)(4) of this title, he may suspend or revoke such certificate in whole or in part, and shall so notify the manufacturer. Such suspension or revocation shall apply in the case of any new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines manufactured after the date of such notification (or manufactured before such date if still in the hands of the manufacturer), and shall apply until such time as the Administrator finds that vehicles and engines manufactured by the manufacturer do conform to such regulations and requirements. If, during any period of suspension or revocation, the Administrator finds that a vehicle or engine actually conforms to such regulations and requirements, he shall issue a certificate of conformity applicable to such vehicle or engine.
(ii) If, based on tests conducted under paragraph (1) on any new vehicle or engine, the Administrator determines that such vehicle or engine does not conform with such regulations and requirements, he may suspend or revoke such certificate insofar as it applies to such vehicle or engine until such time as he finds such vehicle or engine actually so conforms with such regulations and requirements, and he shall so notify the manufacturer.
(i) At the request of any manufacturer the Administrator shall grant such manufacturer a hearing as to whether the tests have been properly conducted or any sampling methods have been properly applied, and make a determination on the record with respect to any suspension or revocation under subparagraph (A); but suspension or revocation under subparagraph (A) shall not be stayed by reason of such hearing.
(ii) In any case of actual controversy as to the validity of any determination under clause (i), the manufacturer may at any time prior to the 60th day after such determination is made file a petition with the United States court of appeals for the circuit wherein such manufacturer resides or has his principal place of business for a judicial review of such determination. A copy of the petition shall be forthwith transmitted by the clerk of the court to the Administrator or other officer designated by him for that purpose. The Administrator thereupon shall file in the court the record of the proceedings on which the Administrator based his determination, as provided in section 2112 of title 28.
(iii) If the petitioner applies to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence, and shows to the satisfaction of the court that such additional evidence is material and that there were reasonable grounds for the failure to adduce such evidence in the proceeding before the Administrator, the court may order such additional evidence (and evidence in rebuttal thereof) to be taken before the Administrator, in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as the court may deem proper. The Administrator may modify his findings as to the facts, or make new findings, by reason of the additional evidence so taken and he shall file such modified or new findings, and his recommendation, if any, for the modification or setting aside of his original determination, with the return of such additional evidence.
(c) Inspection
For purposes of enforcement of this section, officers or employees duly designated by the Administrator, upon presenting appropriate credentials to the manufacturer or person in charge, are authorized
(1) to enter, at reasonable times, any plant or other establishment of such manufacturer, for the purpose of conducting tests of vehicles or engines in the hands of the manufacturer, or
(2) to inspect, at reasonable times, records, files, papers, processes, controls, and facilities used by such manufacturer in conducting tests under regulations of the Administrator. Each such inspection shall be commenced and completed with reasonable promptness.
(d) Rules and regulations
The Administrator shall by regulation establish methods and procedures for making tests under this section.
(e) Publication of test results
The Administrator shall make available to the public the results of his tests of any motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine submitted by a manufacturer under subsection (a) of this section as promptly as possible after December 31, 1970, and at the beginning of each model year which begins thereafter. Such results shall be described in such nontechnical manner as will reasonably disclose to prospective ultimate purchasers of new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines the comparative performance of the vehicles and engines tested in meeting the standards prescribed under section 7521 of this title.
(f) High altitude regulations
(g) Nonconformance penalty
(1) In the case of any class or category of heavy-duty vehicles or engines to which a standard promulgated under section 7521 (a) of this title applies, except as provided in paragraph (2), a certificate of conformity shall be issued under subsection (a) of this section and shall not be suspended or revoked under subsection (b) of this section for such vehicles or engines manufactured by a manufacturer notwithstanding the failure of such vehicles or engines to meet such standard if such manufacturer pays a nonconformance penalty as provided under regulations promulgated by the Administrator after notice and opportunity for public hearing. In the case of motorcycles to which such a standard applies, such a certificate may be issued notwithstanding such failure if the manufacturer pays such a penalty.
(2) No certificate of conformity may be issued under paragraph (1) with respect to any class or category of vehicle or engine if the degree by which the manufacturer fails to meet any standard promulgated under section 7521 (a) of this title with respect to such class or category exceeds the percentage determined under regulations promulgated by the Administrator to be practicable. Such regulations shall require such testing of vehicles or engines being produced as may be necessary to determine the percentage of the classes or categories of vehicles or engines which are not in compliance with the regulations with respect to which a certificate of conformity was issued and shall be promulgated not later than one year after August 7, 1977.
(3) The regulations promulgated under paragraph (1) shall, not later than one year after August 7, 1977, provide for nonconformance penalties in amounts determined under a formula established by the Administrator. Such penalties under such formula—
(C) shall take into account the extent to which actual emissions of any air pollutant exceed allowable emissions under the standards promulgated under section 7521 of this title;
(D) shall be increased periodically in order to create incentives for the development of production vehicles or engines which achieve the required degree of emission reduction; and
(4) In any case in which a certificate of conformity has been issued under this subsection, any warranty required under section 7541 (b)(2) of this title and any action under section 7541 (c) of this title shall be required to be effective only for the emission levels which the Administrator determines that such certificate was issued and not for the emission levels required under the applicable standard.
(h) Review and revision of regulations
Within 18 months after November 15, 1990, the Administrator shall review and revise as necessary the regulations under subsection [3] (a) and (b) of this section regarding the testing of motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines to insure that vehicles are tested under circumstances which reflect the actual current driving conditions under which motor vehicles are used, including conditions relating to fuel, temperature, acceleration, and altitude.

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
"As an atheist you have to rationalize things. . . . Then you have to try and make some sort of sense out of your problems. And if you try and find you can't, you have no choice but to be good and scared -- but that's okay!"
"I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greek and Roman leave to us."
"Original sin is the only rational solution of the undeniable fact of the deep, universal and early manifested sinfulness of men in all ages, of every class, and in every part of the world"
"While rationalism at the individual level is a plea for more personal autonomy from cultural norms, at the social level it is often a claim- or arrogation- of power to stifle the autonomy of others."
"I never overestimate the audience, nor do I underestimate them. I just have a very rational idea as to who we're dealing with, and that we're not making a picture for Harvard Law School, we're making a picture for middle-class people, the people that you see on the subway, or the people that you see in a restaurant. Just normal people."
"If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives."
"In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... That's where somebody else says, 'Even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person -- meaning, myself -- in that circumstance would want to die.' So you move very quickly from so-called voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia. These legal and medical developments are not simply hypothetical: They're in the courts right now."
"The rational mind of man is a shallow thing, a shore upon a continent of the irrational, wherein thin colonies of reason have settled amid a savage world."

But hospitality at a restaurant rarely comes without cost, and in Portland it is mostly just Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants—plus maybe the odd hotel lobby—that still maintain the cozy ritual of complimentary tea.
Always one to look a gift cup in the leaves, we wondered: Whose free tea is the best in town?
And so we gathered up the leaves, where possible. Multiple restaurants declined to sell their free loose-leaf tea blends for home brewing—it's harder to buy free tea than you'd think—but five restaurants in this year's Cheap Eats guide were kind enough to oblige.
Our favorite response, however? The ever-honest server at Powell Seafood Restaurant refused to sell their free tea at any price, because it was a low-quality bulk tea that arrived in a large carton. She referred us instead to multiple Asian groceries in the area, insistent that we not bring home cheap tea.
But as for the teas we did get? We asked local tea expert Steven Smith—founder of Tazo and Stash, not to mention his eponymous Steven Smith line of teas (1626 NW Thurman St., 719-8752, smithtea.com)—to join Martin Cizmar, Brian Panganiban, Rebecca Jacobson and Matthew Korfhage in a considered tasting of free teas, using Smith's fancy porcelain set. Smith examined the leaves of each tea, invited us to smell the tea both dry and after steeping, and gave each tea first a drink, then a shallow slurp to pick out the flavor notes.
"There are no teas here that anybody should be ashamed of as a free tea," said Smith, "although I might question paying for some of them."
The Results:
A. Pho An Sandy
Pho An was loath to part with a portion of its tea when asked, because they buy just enough to serve to their diners, though we were able to beg a personal-sized portion for a buck. The same jasmine tea, however, can be bought at Lily's Market (11001 NE Halsey St.)
The leaves: Jasmine, a good sort, with quite large, still-bright flowers amid the leaves.
The smell: "A bit smoky." "A little bit of cat pee."
The taste: "Middle-of-the-road jasmine." "Fresh floral notes." "Pretty good for free tea."
B. Simply Vietnamese
Alone among the restaurants, Simply Vietnamese's loose-leaf tea came packaged: It's Quoc Thai Voi Vang, with a golden elephant on the front. The shop was willing to part with a bag for $3. The server was friendly and quick to agree to let us take some tea home, but didn't hide his amusement: It is a strange thing, insisting on buying free tea.
The leaves: Lots of sticks and stems, dull-colored, with visible oxidation on the leaves.
The smell: "Toasty." "Smooth. "Biscuit-y nose."
The taste: "Haylike note." "You'd almost think it was herbal." "Some soapiness." "Makes me think of bath water."
C. ShenZhen
"That's good jasmine tea, right?" our server said when we asked if we could buy a little of their free tea to take home. The shop filled up a large takeout container with the tea, likewise for $3.
The leaves: Jasmine, very earthy smelling, but again the jasmine flowers remain pleasantly light instead of being brown.
The smell: "Not much going on in here." "Smells like jasmine."
The taste: "Wheat-y." "A little soapy." "A little more aromatic, more jasmine [than Pho An Sandy's jasmine tea.]" "A solid free tea."
D. Pure Spice
A paper bag with the tea was available for—you guessed it—$3, after a little finagling. The hostess/server went back to ask the owner whether it was all right before selling a bit of the loose leaf tea. We repeat, should anyone want to follow in our footsteps: Asking to buy free tea is a strange gesture.
The leaves: Quite green, much more so than the others, with no oxidation, and tightly rolled like expensive kuan yin tea.
The smell: "Broth-y." "This is a flavor that's going to open up."
The taste: "Pleasant." "Gentle." "Food's going to run right over this tea." "No defining flavor." "Easy to sit and drink all day."
WINNER: Yen Ha
Yen Ha parted with so much of its odd-sorted tea that the massive, plastic-sackful of shrubbery convinced more than one of our editors that I was stockpiling marijuana at my desk for Willamette Week's recent pot issue. Nice of Yen Ha, nonetheless, to be so generous.
The leaves: A dark, random-seeming, unpromising sort, full of sticks and stems.
The smell: "Creamy and rice-y." "Smells like oatmeal." "Like Rice Crispies Treats."
The taste: "Sweet, spicy." "Reminds me of rice, noodles, pad thai." "Rice-y and peanut-y." "Maybe almonds?"
Steven Smith on Yen Ha's tea: "I've actually been looking for a flavor like this in a different leaf."

BUFFALO, NY-- For many women undergoing treatment for breast cancer, as soon as they have a mastectomy, thoughts of the reconstruction process start.
Alecia Howell started treatment at Roswell Park in 2006, at the age of 27. And while she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment, she decided to start the reconstruction process, one that would take years and multiple surgeries.
But she says it was the right choice for her.
Alecia said she had multiple surgeries in her reconstruction and had to wait six months in between each procedure.
The time issues were a big factor for her in this deeply personal decision, especially with three young children at home.

We often hear a lot about how television and video games are stifling the creativity and impeding the personal growth of young people. Rarely do we hear about kids' entreprenurial spirit. But at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, youths ranging in age from 11 to 21 had a chance to sell their wares today - to bargain, barter, and network like the business people they hope to become. Jennifer Mitchell has more.
Just beyond the strong man booth, the pie cones and the Indian pudding, some business cards are changing hands, products are being held up for inspection, and business people - in braces - are driving hard bargains.
Woman's voice: "Is it $3s?"
Samantha: "The lip balms are $3."
Sixteen-year-old Samantha Todd (left) is promoting her line of handmade, herbal beauty products from her booth at the Youth Enterprise Zone - or YEZ - a program run by the Maine Organic farmers and Gardeners Association. Todd is working hard to make a sale.
"And the coconut is really popular, because it's different. I almost priced it higher, but I decided not to. It's different than all the rest because it's made with coconut oil and cocoa butter," she says.
Todd has been making lip balms and hand salves since the age of 11. Her products are sold in three stores in southern Maine. By following a basic business plan, she's now making enough money not only to turn a profit, but also to donate a portion of her proceeds to a charity in Guatemala.
Not all the kids in the YEZ program will go on to own businesses. But program Director Sari Lindauer says all of the kids are learning something about the world of commerce.
"They're thinking about display, they're thinking about price, they're thinking about, 'How much do I spend? What's the cost for everything, and is it really worth my while?'" she says. "They'll look at, 'How long did I spend on this? What am I going to do next year to make it a little bit more doable for myself?' So they're becoming young business people."
They're also learning what it takes to be self-employed. "I raise the sheep, I shear them, I wash it, card it, spin it, do the dying and knitting, and I just started making hay with another farm, so I'm doing that process too," says 17-year-old Noah Cimeno (left), whose booth is full of knitwear he's made himself.
Aside from rearing a flock of Icelandic sheep, Cimeno spends his time doing carpentry, producing vegetables and maple syrup, raising and selling several types of meat and eggs, and working at his woolens business. Surprisingly, his parents are not farmers, but by first grade, Noah had decided that would become one. Since then, he's been building an agricultural empire. And he's figured out how to make money.
"The farming part - you make no money," he says. "Where you make money is in resale and distributing. So, I know some farmers that will raise lambs and then in the spring they'll sell those lambs for $100. I raise my lambs, but I bring them to the slaughterhouse, and I pick them up, and when I pick up the meat I am then becoming a distributor by driving that meat to stores and businesses. And that's where I can make my money."
But in an age where there's so much business competition online or from the big box stores, it's difficult to imaagine why kids want to start their own businesses. Their reasons are diverse. Some say they're saving up for college. Some want to open a savings account, or they like the idea of working for themselves when they finish school.
But most say they hope they can build their small enterprises into something bigge r- despite all the gloom and doom about the economy. Budding sheep baron Noah Cimeno puts it like this: "If you're interested in something, then you're just going to go for it."

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1/2 hr
TOTAL TIME: 3 hr
IngredientsFor coconut
- 2 (1 1/2-pound) coconuts
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 1/3 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
- 7 large egg whites, at room temperature 30 minutes
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature 30 minutes
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Equipment: 3 (9- by 2-inch) round cake pans
Prepare coconut:
Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
Pierce softest eye of each coconut with a small screwdriver and collect liquid in 2 separate bowls to sample. If either tastes rancid, discard that coconut and liquid and Start over with another. Strain liquid from 2 coconuts through a dampened-paper-towel-lined sieve into a 1-cup measure and set coconuts aside. (You should have about 3/4 cup liquid. If not, add water.) Bring to a simmer with sugar and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Cool and reserve.
Bake coconuts on lower rack 15 minutes. Leave oven on. Break shells with a hammer, then remove flesh with screwdriver, prying it out carefully. Peel brown membrane from flesh with a vegetable peeler. Coarsely grate enough coconut on large holes of a box grater to measure 5 cups.
Make cake layers:
Butter cake pans, then line bottom of each with a round of parchment paper and butter parchment. Flour pans, knocking out excess.
Sift together flour (3 1/3 cups), baking powder, and salt.
Stir together milk and extracts.
Beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. At low speed, add flour mixture in 3 batches alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing until each addition is just incorporated.
Beat egg whites in another large bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until whites just hold stiff, glossy peaks. Stir one third of whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
Spread batter evenly in pans and rap pans on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles.
Place 2 pans on upper rack and 1 pan on lower rack and bake 20 minutes. Switch position of pans and bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of each cake comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Cool cakes in pans on racks 5 minutes, then run a knife around edges of pans and invert cakes onto racks. Discard parchment and cool completely, about 1 hour.
Make frosting and assemble cake:
Beat together egg whites, sugar, water, corn syrup, cream of tartar, and salt in a large deep bowl with a handheld mixer (clean beaters if necessary) until combined. Set bowl over a pot of simmering water and beat mixture at high speed until it holds stiff, glossy peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. (Humid weather may necessitate additional beating time.) Remove bowl from heat, then add vanilla and beat until frosting is cooled and very thick, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer 2 1/3 cups frosting to another bowl and stir in 2 cups coconut to make filling.
Put 1 cake layer on a cake stand or large plate. Brush top with one third of reserved coconut syrup, then spread with half of filling. Repeat with another layer, more syrup, and remaining coconut filling, then top with third layer. Brush top with remaining syrup, then cover cake with remaining frosting and coat with remaining coconut, gently pressing to help it adhere.
Cooks' notes: ·Coconuts can sometimes be rancid. You may want to buy an extra one.
·The egg whites in the frosting might not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
·Cake layers can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, wrapped separately in plastic wrap.
·Cake can be assembled 4 hours ahead.
