Textiles from China's ethnic groups will be on display at Linden Gallery in Ellison Bay starting Aug. 30 and continuing through Sept. 15.
Collected by gallery owners Brian and Jeanee Linden for many years, the collection includes elaborately embroidered baby carriers, decorative pieces and clothing.
The work is created by minority women in the southwest regions of China. Traditionally, the women weave cotton and hemp into fabric, while it is considered a man's duty to dye the cloth, often in a deep indigo. The rare purchase of silk from eastern China is indicative of wealth, as are the ...

As retailers and manufacturers work to ensure the safety of the food supply, pallets, shelving and sanitation systems take on prominent roles.
A lot can happen to meat, dairy, produce and groceries on the trip from the manufacturing plant or field to the grocery store. Even with today's sophisticated food safety techniques, E. coli, listeria and other potentially harmful organisms can easily make their way into a crop of spinach or a batch of baby food.
"The last few years the flurry of recalls that have occurred has raised the consciousness of the public, retailers and suppliers," says Rex Lowe, president of Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS), an Orlando, Fla.-based operator of a rental service for recyclable plastic pallets.
While many retailers' and manufacturers' budgets remain barebones, they continue to invest in equipment that can bolster the safety of the food supply. On the front line of defense is the ubiquitous pallet, used to store, ship and display almost anything found in the grocery store. Some grocers, growers and manufacturers are also looking at best practices in other industries to enhance their food safety initiatives, say industry observers.
"The food industry is employing a number of techniques from the pharmaceutical industry in the effort to further enhance food safety," says Paul Pederson, director of food safety for IFCO Systems, a Tampa, Fla.-based logistics provider that operates a pool of reusable plastic containers (RPC).
The company recently opened a new RPC service center in Portland, Ore. to support the expanded use of RPCs by grocery retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada, say company officials. The new facility is IFCO's fifth U.S. service center. Pederson adds that IFCO is investing in new equipment for cleaning and sanitizing pallets. The system uses centrifugal force for drying and complex sanitizers to ensure the highest standard possible for food safety, he says.
Observers say reusable plastic pallets are being adopted as replacements for traditional cardboard containers because they are hydrophobic, meaning that they do not absorb water or harbor bacteria. Other reasons for the rising popularity of RPCs are that they can incorporate tracking devices and they are sustainable.
A benefit in outfitting pallets with tracking devices is the ability to monitor the temperatures and other vital signs throughout their journey. "It is really all about cold chain security," says Trent Overholt, vice president of Rehrig Pacific Co., a Los Angeles-based provider of reusable transport packaging, including pallets, crates and containers. "The fresh produce may look fine when it arrives, but there may have been a few hours in transit when it was out of the desired temperature range. It may not be obvious to the receiver, but can have an impact on food safety as well as shelf life."
The monitoring devices can sound an early alarm if there is an issue that may impact food safety or shelf life, observers say. "It is estimated that 30% to 40% of all produce never makes it to the shelf," says iGPS's Lowe. "Our containers are able to house a variety of technologies, including RFID tags and barcodes to track truckloads and help improve those numbers. There have been huge advancements in battery life in RFID tags, so it is possible to monitor conditions every 15 minutes, even on long hauls."
Observers say that as produce growers, shippers and retailers embrace alternatives to the traditional cardboard box; temperature monitoring will become even more widespread.
"On a practical level, it doesn't make sense to put a $1 tracking tag on a cardboard box that costs 50 cents and is going to be either in a landfill or recycled/remanufactured after just one use," Overholt says. "A typical RPC gets used five or six times a year for five years or longer, so that $1 is amortized over 30 or more uses and the cost of the tracking data becomes a few pennies per trip."
RFID tags, barcodes and other technology can also pinpoint the source of a problem in the event of a recall, say observers. "If the source can be identified to a particular day or region, for example, the recall can be targeted," Lowe says, rather than having to take all the lettuce or spinach from the shelves because it could not be traced to the source.
The tags can monitor issues such as humidity, light and shock as well, which can all impact the quality and safety of perishable items, say observers.
Since the scanning equipment needs to be used in growing fields, manufacturing plants, warehouses and other tough environments, it has to be rugged, say observers. "The scanners have to be able to withstand water, cold and other harsh environments," says Mike Wills, vice president, North America for Psion, a Hebron, Ky.-based manufacturer of rugged mobile computer equipment. Psion's equipment is used by Seattle-based Ocean Beauty Seafood, which distributes millions of pounds each year of canned, smoked, frozen and fresh seafood to manufacturers, restaurants and grocers.
Among Psion partners is Redmond, Wash.-based software firm Dynamic Systems. "Each lot is tracked from location to location so that they know where each lot of fish was stored, what container it shipped in and who it was shipped to," says Alison Falco, president of Dynamic Systems.
Cold power
Power outages, particularly during storms, also pose a threat to a retailer's food supply. While retailers have often relied on generators to keep the stores open and the cash registers ringing during an outage, many are now taking refrigeration into consideration when making the investment in backup power, say observers.
"In the past, a primary function of backup power in a retail environment was to keep the cash registers functioning," says John Sharpe, power solutions manager for Generac Power Systems, a Waukesha, Wis.-based manufacturer of backup power solutions.
Sharpe says that systems have become more scalable, making it affordable for a wide range of retailers. The company offers backup power systems in a number of sizes that run on natural gas, diesel and propane. "A supermarket could loose as much as $100,000 in inventory, so it is really a protection of that investment," he says, adding that the risk of having unsafe food on the shelves can result in illness or even death and can cause untold damage to a retailer's reputation.
Keeping refrigerators powered up is only half the battle. Observers say that refrigerators are also one of the most difficult areas in the store to clean. "Working with our sister company [Conyers, Ga.-based refrigerated display manufacturer] Hill Phoenix, we have developed a set of tools that works with our Integrated Cleaning System (ICS) battery-powered, mobile, self-contained cleaning system to clean refrigerated cases," says David A. Ratajczak, director of strategic channel development for Cincinnati-based Hydro Systems Co. The company produces equipment for a wide range of cleaning and sanitizing functions.
Traditionally the way to clean refrigerated cases is by hosing down the inside. This can be a messy process that often does not sanitize the case and can result in food particles clogging the drains. "Our ICS can save in time, labor, water and chemicals," says Ratajczak. With the specialized tools for cleaning refrigerated cases, a 12-foot case can be cleaned with three gallons of water, helping retailers meet requirements for the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, he adds. Hydro Systems' products can also be used to accurately dilute and dispense concentrated chemicals so that they can be safely and effectively used for commercial cleaning and other applications.
Shelving on the sales floor and in the back room can also be difficult to clean, say observers. To address this issue, InterMetro Industries is introducing an anti-microbial mat for its wire shelving.
"One of our goals is to improve food safety at the store level," says Terry Kevett, marketing manager for the Wilkes-Barre, Pa.-based InterMetro Industries, owner of the Metro brand of shelving and a subsidiary of St. Louis-based Emerson. "Our new Super Erecta Pro has polymer shelf mats that can easily be washed in a utility sink or in a dishwashing machine." He says that the mats and the epoxy used in the shelf construction are infused with Microban, an anti-microbial material.
"This is an area of food safety that hasn't gotten much attention in the past, but retailers are now looking for areas where they can invest that will improve the processes and the safety of the food supply and we see this trend continuing," Kevett says.

Minister Cannon Calls in Top Iranian Diplomat to Express Concern Over Continued Detention of Canadian Journalist Maziar Bahari
(No. 192 - July 9, 2009)The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today made the following statement regarding the continued detention of Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari:
"Canada reaffirms the statement today by the G8 leaders condemning the unjustified detention of journalists and others. Canada is gravely concerned about the continuing detention of Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, and by the Iranian regime's unrelenting disregard for basic human rights, including freedom of expression, which continue to be deliberately ignored.
"Mr. Bahari is a professional and experienced journalist who was doing his job covering an important and difficult story.
"This week, I called in the Iranian chargé d'affaires in Ottawa to urge Iranian authorities to release Mr. Bahari and reiterated Canada's demand for immediate consular access, full legal rights and protection for Mr. Bahari, as well as clarification of the allegations against him.
"The Government of Canada has also again made representations to the authorities in Tehran, and will continue to press Iran for action in resolving this case.
"Canada urges Iran to fully respect all of its human rights obligations, in law and in practice. We continue to support freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law in Iran."

Now I am alone
in a place I'm on my own
there's no one here but me
look but can't you see
i lost you to a battle
and now it's all over
I'll remember you
like a wish from a clover
the battle was brought
and just as it was planned
you disappeared
like a grain of sand
i tried to fight it
but what was the use
the curse is still here
and it got rid of you.

text: Hello, I'm trying to find someone that can help me with my Makerbot Cupcake. I bought it off eBay and it seems to work (it melts the plastic) but I can't get it calibrated right. The guy that had it before me did lots of upgrades (MK6 Stepstruder, heated platform, blue leds). He gave me a disk with everything but it's all for a PC - I'm on a Mac. The first problem is that the right driver for the machine doesn't seem to be available in replicatorG on my mac. I'm thinking he may have written a custom driver for the machine. So, I found an old PC laptop, installed everything he gave me and it seemed like it was going to work but when I tried to print a sample file, the print head rose up higher and higher and higher until it finally maxed out and made a hideous noise. Every time I try to print, it does the same thing no matter what I try to print. Could this be a z-axis calibration problem? Any suggestions? Does anyone have one of these that can help me get it running? Maybe I can bring it to the open house on the 4th? Please help! Thank you, Celeste

I've been playing around with pricing a bit on my books. I was going to put my book free Monday, which I did (I ended up getting over 3k downloads), but it's smart to make your book price higher before you make your book free. That way the consumer sees how much value they are getting.
So I set the book at $8.17. Why $8.17? Because I'm finding that strange price points work better. Try it.
So after the book stopped being free. I made the book $6.17. Now look at that screenshot. Amazon is doing a price reduction thing. Kinda neat. Smart.
Lesson? Play around with your pricing. Don't just set it and forget it.

Borough bar patrons will now have an extra two hours each night to tip a few at their favorite local watering holes.
The Borough Council unanimously voted Tuesday night to amend an ordinance that called for bars in the borough to close at midnight. Under the newly approved ordinance, bars will be able to stay open until to 2 a.m.
The new closing time goes into effect immediately, according to the ordinance, which was passed with little fanfare and little comment from council members. ...

|Back to Home > Content > Interviews > So What Do You Do, John Barr?
Last year the Chicago-based Poetry Foundation received an extraordinary donation: $100 million over the next 30 years from pharmaceutical heiress and philanthropist Ruth Lilly. The gift is perhaps the largest literary endowment in history, and the fact that it was aimed at poetry, a notoriously underfunded art, left the foundation's executives a bit flummoxed. They immediately changed their name from the Modern Poetry Association, but it was clear that more radical changes would be necessary to create a innovative home for American poetry. In order to manage all that money and still retain the artistic integrity of the company, which publishes the tiny but prestigious Poetry magazine, they needed someone well-versed in the currency of both money and meter.
John Barr, who was named president of the Poetry Foundation early last month, seems a perfect match. Over the past three decades, Barr has pursued parallel careers as an investment banker and a poet. The founder of the successful public-utilities firm SG Barr Devlin and the author of six collections of lyric, long-form poetry, Barr has won acclaim as a financial expert and a gifted wordsmith, and he has etched out a career similar to fellow businessman-poets Wallace Stevens and T.S. Eliot. Barr, his speech occasionally laced with similes and metaphors, recently spoke to mediabistro.com about his new job, his unlikely career path, and the current state of American poetry.
Birthdate: January 28, 1943
Hometown: Born in Omaha, Nebraska; grew up in Lisle, Illinois.
First section of the Sunday Times: Book Review
So the news, of course, is that you were recently chosen to be the new president of the Poetry Foundation. How did this come about? Why do you think they chose you?
I think they were looking for somebody who had enough business experience to manage the responsibility of a very large endowment that, in effect, came out of nowhere. The 30 years or so I spent on Wall Street probably gave me the experience that they were looking for. The second part was that they wanted somebody that was passionately interested in poetry and knew something about the poetry world. And, I've served a lot of years on not-for-profit organizations. For five years, I was president of the Poetry Society of America. I have served and continue to serve on the board of Yaddo, which is one of the oldest artists' colonies in the country. I've also been on the board of Bennington College for almost 20 years, and chairman of the board for 12 years. So that gave me a window into the arts world from a number of different points of view. Not only that, I've got a life as a writer, and that was important to them.
What do you see happening with the endowment?
Our objective will be to discover some of the greater unmet or undermet needs of poetry in America. We'll develop programs either on our own or in conjunction with other organizations in the poetry world to meet those needs. One example is audience development. We want to get people who are not currently poetry readersthey might be commuters, travelers in hotel rooms who would love to see an anthology at night, airplane travelers, people outside of the traditional home for poetry, the academic worldin touch with good poetry, and grow that audience and see more poets selling more books. That's one example. There are other ideas that we're kicking around.
You've had this fascinating career: You've been an investment banker, you've been a poet, and you've also been a teacher at Sarah Lawrence College. How did you get to this point? Walk me through your career.
I've been in the business world for over 30 yearson Wall Street, but not as a stockbroker. I was 18 years at Morgan Stanley, a wonderful firm, but the firm went public in the mid-1980s and a few years later I retired. I wanted to be part of something smaller and more intimate, just because I love small companies and the special kind of relationship they can have with clients. So I started my own firm, called Barr DevlinHugh Devlin was my partner and friend of many years on Wall Street and at Morgan Stanleyand we just kept doing what we had been doing.
I ran the public-utility group at MS for 10 years, and the business of our new shop was to provide advice to public utilities around the country. We caught the wave of all of the utility mergers that occurred in the 1990sbetter lucky than smart, I guess. We had no idea that all that was going to happen when we started the shop in 1990. We were fortunate to be the investment banker of record on a lot of the largest utility mergers in the 1990s. We were acquired by Societe Generale in 1998, and we became a part of that global organization, which enabled us to take our specialties overseas. We continue as a part of their organizationwe're still based in New York, and I still carry titles therebut I have some wonderful younger partners who run the business day-to-day.
How did you pursue a business career at the same time you were writing and publishing poetry? What was your day like? Did you write in the morning? Take summers?
It tended to be concurrenton airplanes, in hotel rooms, in the back of a taxicab. If I was very actively involved in a book, sometimes I'd wake up at three or four in the morning. I find that's a wonderful time to write, because when you wake up, the sounds that have come through your head as conversation and noise have all abated from the night before. To me, the quality of sound or silence at 3 a.m. is like new snow with no footprints on it. The ear is more attuned and you can do the sound work of writing a poem very well early in the morning. I tend to keep journals and 3-by-5 cards, and I write lines on the edges of train schedules and whatever I can. So my method of writing is like other poets that I know. I would tend to write lines wherever I was, and then periodically transfer those in the journals. At this point, I probably have 5,000 pages of journals that are the raw material for a lot of what I write.
I think that very often, poets who have these left-brain day jobs tend to inform their art with the details of them. William Carlos Williams certainly had a lot of poems that meditated on hospitals and sickness. Do you find that happening in your poetry at all?
That's a good question. It took a long time for my business-world experience to come into my poems in an explicit way. I think everything a poet does comes into the work implicitly. But the book that came out in 1999, called Grace, actually had a section in it that was a parody of a typical New York businessman. The protagonist speaking in the book is a black Caribbean gardener who has been tried unjustly for a crime he witnessed but did not commit. While he's awaiting execution, he's got a cellmate, and the cellmate is a halfwit. This fellow is explaining the world as he sees it, including New York, to his cellmate, and it's my opportunity to take a fresh look at everything I wanted to talk about when I was approaching the age of 50.
Former U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins has been quoted saying that he gets two conflicting questions all the time: How do you account for the poetry renaissance in America right now, and, why does no one read poetry anymore? Which do you think is the more accurate perception?
Oh, he is a master at capturing issues like that. That's a wonderful way to put it. Here's my take on it: A decade ago, there was a debate going on in the intellectual press and the poetry community. One point of view was that nobody that writes poetry sells any books. The other point of view is that we've got this growing number of poetry readings and they occasionally sell out big auditoriums. So which is it? Is poetry, in fact, enjoying a renaissance or is it the black art that it has been in the past? My own view is that that's the wrong question.
Poetry needs to get in touch with the audiences of its time. The golden age of any art is when that art is in touch with the general audience of its time. Think of the drama in Shakespeare's day, think of the novel in the 20th century, and think of the movie today. It's where people go because they want to see the art, not because they're supposed to. They're drawn to it. The art happens at the same time as the entertainment in the art.
And I think poetry for the last 10 or 15 years has been succeeding in reaching out to the general public. You have a handful of poetsI'm thinking of Billy, I'm thinking of Mary Oliver, I'm thinking of Seamus Heaneywho, I don't know what their book sales are, but I've got to believe that it's real money, that they are at or approaching that point where a poet can actually support himself or herself through book sales, and the reason for that is they are writing in ways that the audience finds such deep sustenance that they will buy the book.
You mention those contemporary poets, and I know that Poetry magazine published the first poems of Ezra Pound and Wallace Stevens. Is there anyone who's been published lately who has the chops to be considered in the same breath with those names?
I think that if I had been a subscriber to Poetry magazine in 1912, when it was founded, and when Harriet Monroe picked poems by the unknown poets, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and others, I would not have understood them, and I wouldn't have known that they were to become known, a century later, as the great modern poets. I am a little bit humble about recognizing the next great talent when it shows up. I do think that poetry today is doing two things very well. The first thing it's doing is writing well in a tradition that has existed for hundreds of years that I would call the poetry of the rational or the didactic, where you can read the poem and actually parse itpoems you can read and go from A to B to C. Among those poets today I would put Seamus Heaney, Galway Kinnell, and many others.
But that's only one thing that I think is being done well in American poetry today. The other thing that's going on is that other poets are pushing the envelope on what poetry can be. You cannot read a language poem and do what I just said about the first category. You cannot parse it and say, "This poem is about a man walking alone under a full moon." It's about something else. I think the surrealist poets, James Tate and others, often with great humor, are denying us the ability to read it as a rational line of discussion on purpose and are in fact trying to wake us up and push us in other directions. Poetry's being used as an element of exploration as well as communication and I think that's great. I think that both of those things have not always happened at the same time in the history of English and American poetry.
As long as we are on this literary bent, I'm going to remind you of that quote from Fitzgerald, where he talks about how difficult it is to hold two opposed ideas in your mind and still retain the ability to function. In light of your career choices, what do you think that says about you?
That my left and my right brain fused at birth? The way I think of what a businessman does as opposed to what a poet does is as follows: A businessperson, what they care about is making something happen, making something better in a world of external activities and affairs. That could be making a merger happen, selling a new product, or building a plant. A businessperson is trying to make sense of things in the external world, that's where things get settled. The business of the poet is to make sense of things in the internal world. For a poet, nothing has happened unless they've made sense of that in the context of a poem. They're different arenas, but they both have the same end. I view a businessperson and a poet as a response of the self to the chaotic universe. It's a way to establish order in a disorderly universe. That's where I think the two converge.

Released October 7,
Beowulf, a bone-chilling tale of monsters and men, will roar to
life in an award-winning performance with harp by Chris Vinsonhaler
on Oct. 30 at The University of Southern Mississippi's Hartwig
The performance is sponsored by the university's
Honors College, English Department and Department of Theatre and
Timely, authoritative and mesmerizing—this
90-minute performance with Celtic harp, scheduled to begin at 2:30
p.m., is free and open to the public, and it is recommended for
adults and young adults only. Doors will open at 2 p.m.
Awarded a fellowship funded by the National
Endowment for the Arts, Vinsonhaler, an internationally touring
artist, has received praise from scholars, poets, teachers, storytellers
and armchair readers.
"You made Beowulf come alive even for
those who hated reading it," said Rosemary DePaulo, former
president of Georgia College & State University, to Vinsonhaler
after one of her performances. "You made everyone in the audience
feel that Beowulf, Grendel and Hrothgar were with us—in the
room and in our time."
"Beowulf does indeed have something for
everyone," said Vinsonhaler. "It is a dazzling work
of poetry, and it is also a knock-'em, sock-'em piece of pop culture
about a Dark Ages super hero. It is somber and thought-provoking,
but it is also a lot of fun. That's what great literature
has always been about."
Yet those who are familiar with Beowulf should
expect to be surprised.
"Beowulf has many surprises in store,"
Vinsonhaler said. "The poem is ironic, subversive, grotesque
and darkly comic, and it may even lay claim to be the world's first
murder mystery. Yet, above all, Beowulf is a prophetic work about
the death of nations. Its world, like our own, is overshadowed by
the image of a burning tower and by monstrous acts of avarice, envy,
deceit and revenge. It is very much a poem for our times."
Robert Bjork, president of the International
Society for Anglo-Saxonists, has praised Vinsonhaler's work for
"capturing the tone and energy of the original poem."
And Andy Orchard, director of the Toronto Centre for Medieval Studies
has praised Vinsonhaler's translation as superior to all others
in capturing "the passion and verve of the original."
Vinsonhaler began working on Beowulf out of
her lifelong interest in folk culture and bardic tradition. Now
eight years into the project, Vinsonhaler has published an original
performance-based translation. "I was aware that even serious
readers of Beowulf have differed widely on interpretation—some
declaring the poem can never be fully understood.
"As a professional storyteller, I wondered
what would happen if Beowulf were seriously examined and interpreted
through performance," Vinsonhaler said.
"Although many questions remain unanswered,
one thing that is almost certainly true: Beowulf was meant to be
heard, not read. What excites me most, and what I hope to share
with others, is that the poem does indeed take on a life of its
own when returned to spoken form."
Information on Vinsonhaler and the Beowulf
project is available at www.beowulfpoet.com/welcome.html.

COLUMBUS -- Ohio Republicans failed in an effort Thursday to bring a second congressional map up for a vote as they sought to defuse Democratic opposition to the state's newly adopted map, with shouting erupting on the Ohio House floor over who fairly should represent the battleground state in Washington.
Earlier in the day, GOP House Speaker William Batchelder released a revised plan for the state's U.S. House districts, saying it was fairer to Democrats and he hoped it will garner support from Democratic legislators.
Batchelder said his goal was to give Democrats a chance to support a congressional map with cleaner lines, more compact districts and better representation for blacks.
His proposal also reinstated a single 2012 primary, something that would benefit both parties and save about $15 million.
Democrats took Batchel-der's maneuver as an affront, saying they'd presented him with a map Wednesday night and he rejected it.
State Rep. Robert Hagan predicted that Democrats would stick together to oppose a vote on the revised map, failing to give Republicans the 66 votes needed to waive House rules and bring their plan up for an immediate vote.
The vote on suspending the rules was 58-34.
Hagan called the special session "a useless exercise."
When House Democratic Leader Armond Budish rose to criticize the map, calling it an egregious case of gerrymandering, Republican Rep. Lynn Wachtmann shouted from his chair. "These lies shouldn't be allowed on the floor, Mr. Speaker!"
About a dozen Republican lawmakers rose from their chairs and walked off the floor.
"They're trying to pass a bill. They're embarrassed by the fact that they're having two primaries and putting a tremendous amount of weight on the counties at the same time they're cutting local government," Hagan said.
Among key changes, the new map unifies seven counties that were previously split, reduces splits in two counties from three to two and splits one county that was previously whole.
Under the new proposed map, which will now go before a legislative committee, the part of Ottawa County that previously would have fallen in U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan's district would instead be in U.S. Rep. Bob Latta's district.
Batchelder said he didn't have time to study the Democrats' revised map Wednesday night and couldn't call off the Thursday vote.
He said he had called one representative back from Virginia and kept another from going duck hunting.
Several representatives were in the building but failed to come to the floor, he said.
Batchelder said he'll send the bill to the powerful House Rules Committee, with hearing likely starting Monday. A former judge, he said he still holds out hope for a compromise.
Democrats launched a petition drive Tuesday aimed at a 2012 repeal of the bill passed in September that established the initial map. They have claimed it's gerrymandered to favor the GOP.
Batchelder said the new map is attached to language reinstating a single 2012 primary in the state.
Lawmakers last month split the primary, keeping local primaries in March and moving presidential and U.S. House races to June to allow more time to work out a compromise with Democrats.
Both maps create 16 districts, 12 favoring Republicans and 4 favoring Democrats. The state is losing two congressional seats due to slow population growth.

Tottenham vs Swansea Betting: Two best footballing sides in the Premier League can play out an open game
Tottenham have their North London rivals in their sights on Sunday when they host Swansea at White Hart Lane. After seeing Arsenal lose at QPR on Saturday, Spurs know if they win this match they will move back above their arch rivals into third place in the Premier League and more importantly will maintain their five point gap over Chelsea in the race for the Champions League places. Spurs are 4/9 with Ladbrokes to win the match.
Tottenham made it to the semi finals of the FA Cup in midweek. Ledley King played the whole of that match so this match might be too much for him in such a short space of time. Aaron Lennon is fit again after missing much of last month with a hamstring injury and he will give better balance for Tottenham in this match. The likes of Brad Friedel will be back in the side too.
Swansea will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Everton last week. They will know last time they were in the capital two weeks ago they performed the best they've done all season when they beat Fulham easily. If they can repeat that performance here they will be very happy. They will have to do it without defender Steven Caulker though as he can't play against his parent club. Nathan Dyer has served his suspension and can return to the side.
I like watching Swansea. They are a good side to watch and play the game the right way, as do Spurs so this should be a good match for the neutral and I think it will be quite open too and I would expect to see goals. Both sides have goals in them, Spurs from a variety of angles while Swansea are excellent on the break so at 4/5 the over 2.5 goals looks a very appealing bet to me here.
Back Over 2.5 goals for a 4/10 stake at 1.80 with Blue Square

A few new faces accompanied the AHL's oldest franchise to the Constitution State, specifically Phillip Grubauer and Brett Flemming, both reassigned from the ECHL's Reading Royals for Tuesday's 7 p.m. game against the Sound Tigers.
Meanwhile, forwards Alex Berry and Matt Pope were returned to the Reading Royals on Monday.
Grubauer and Flemming represent the club's first roster moves since NHL owners and players settled on a new collective bargaining agreement early Sunday morning, effectively ending the league's lockout at 113 days.
"I think it's exciting; the game needed it. It's about time, I think we all waited long enough," said Doug Yingst, Hershey's team president and general manager.
Head coach Mark French added, "As a hockey fan, I'm glad it ended for sure. I think the game of hockey, everybody appreciates it; maybe they will appreciate it a little bit more. I hope everyone comes back and gives it a chance."
The direct impact, with the exception of the AHL's December goalie of the month Braden Holtby, remains a mystery for the Bears. Washington Capitals across the globe have taken the fast track back to D.C. in anticipation of training camp. Several reports project them to start this weekend, followed by the opening of the regular season Jan. 19.
"We look forward to it; we don't expect to lose too many players.
According to Yingst, AHL waiver rules, among other things, were scheduled to be reviewed between the leagues Monday in conjunction with the new CBA. French also does not expect significant roster distortion.
"We're still waiting on finalizing all the details of when training camp's going to start," he said. "I haven't heard concrete deadlines on that stuff. I'd imagine that's coming pretty shortly."
Grubauer, scheduled to start in the ECHL All-Star Game later this month, projects to replace Holtby, who ranks seventh all-time in Hershey wins (73-45-7) and fifth with 14 shutouts.
"It's been a lot of games played here," said Holtby after a 2-1 loss to Worcester on Sunday night at Giant Center. "I don't know if it's going to be my last game or not, but it's been a lot of fun here. ... All I've heard is on the Twitter world like everyone else."
Either way, one thing remains consistent in Dany Sabourin. The veteran goalie "Sabu" played tag-team partner with "Holts" for the past three seasons, sharing the same corner of the locker room.
"He's been great here. That's the reason he's been here for three years," Holtby said. "He's an outstanding teammate, especially as a goalie partner. Those are hard to come by; they don't come around too often. Guys that are - when it comes down to it - just great people."
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Sabourin made two starts in December, picking up a pair of wins at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Dec. 7 and Dec. 27. An increased workload or leadership role should be no burden for the 32-year-old keeper with NHL playoff experience.
"He offers a calming influence, especially for a young guy. When I was first a teammate with him, he did a lot for me," said Holtby.
Grubauer made his first AHL start on Oct. 21 against Binghamton, dropping a 2-1 overtime loss in bizarre fashion. The contest ended with both teams huddled around the benches following a three-minute video review of the Senators' game-winning goal, initially disallowed when the net came off its moorings.
The 20-year-old keeper stopped 24 of 26 shots, and came 6.5 seconds short of making it through his first AHL overtime.
No matter how the roster shakes down, veteran center Jeff Taffe keeps a one-track mind.
"I don't think guys can worry too much about going to Washington and things like that," said Taffe, leading the Bears with 34 points (eight goals, 26 assists). "I think they have their team pretty much set. They want winners and right now we're not quite getting the job done. I think if guys starting playing a little harder, winning some games, I think that's when they start taking a look more."
Captain Kane û Bears center Boyd Kane needs one game to reach 1,000 as a professional. The 34-year-old forward has played in 999 games combined between the ECHL, AHL and NHL.
"He continues to be, I think, probably the best leader in the American Hockey League," French said. "There's no questioning his respect he has in the room."
Kane should also be making his 900th appearance in the AHL later this week. He departed Giant Center on Monday three games away from becoming the 12th player in the league to reach the mark.
"I think he's a tribute to the organization and will probably be remembered as one of the all-time great leaders," added French.
The Bears' two-game road trip rolls through Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday before returning home to host Connecticut on Saturday and Sunday.

I am upgrading my car this month, and after hours and hours of test drives, reviews etc. I have fianlly narrowed my choice down to three options:
- Fiesta 1.6 TDCi Zetec S
- Fiesta 1.4 Zetec/(Possibly Titanium)
I cannot get insured on the 1.6 Petrols, and Ford no longer make the 1.6 TDCi Zetec's, and now just make the 1.6 TDCi eco ones. I don't want to get a eco one as I can't justify 3 seconds 0-60 for 10 mpg.
This has left me with just the Zetec S, as I sadly cannot afford the titanium. I test drove a 1.6 TDCi Titanium today which has the works! Body kit, leather seats, near enough everything. I believe the engines are the same as in the Zetec S, and I was very pleased. However, I know the Zetec S's suspension is harder, and I'm not sure I will like that. Does it really make that much difference.
Since getting home after the test drive, I have been looking a lot again, and have now thrown the thought of the 1.4 Petrol in the mix. I'm not too worried about the difference in fuel consumption, but more just after the actual acceleration and speed. I have never driven a diesel for more than a few hours, and usually when I have driven them, it has just been sat at 80 on the motorway.
My main concern is that it is going to be just as bad as the Corsa on A/B roads, and I will need to get about a mile run up to overtake something.
Could anyone please advise?
Thanks in advance.

(NEWSCHANNEL 3) – There are new developments in an Newschannel 3 I-Team investigation we first aired back in May. We reported several weeks ago that our investigative work prompted a government review of a local home healthcare company. In May we reported that a felon with a serious criminal background and who was disqualified from working for a home health agency nevertheless worked at Kalamazoo based Alliance Home Health Services. The company's former employees told Newschannel 3 that the felon had access to the patient information of many senior citizens, including Medicare numbers, which in many cases are Social Security numbers. Now, in a twist, we're hearing quite a different story from an attorney representing the company. We also want to point out there is another home healthcare company operating in West Michigan named Alliance. The other one is called Alliance Home Health Care Services, Inc., and it's based in Holland. We are not talking about that company. We're talking about Alliance Home Health Services based in Kalamazoo. Newschannel 3's David Bailey has all the details in the video report above.

Coral or turquoise colored names?
I know there have been a few color related posts on here before, but I wanted to ask specifically if you berries see any certain names in the color coral or turquoise? Just for a bit of fun and list-building. Thanks!http://www.onceuponatimebabynames.com/

Hmm... Let's see. All the names on my own lists tend to be green (Nemy, Rosemary, Hestia, Helena, etc.), velvety midnight blue (Diana, Wednesday, Maxine, etc.), silvery green (sort of the colour of willow bark, like Delphine, Zelda, etc.), lavender (Corinne, Francesca, etc.) or golden / sunny yellow (Artemis, Cappi, Bellamy, Clemency, etc.). There are a few crossovers (Francesca is both lavender and navy to me).
Turquoise names:
Felicia, Rani, Phedora, Piper, Paulette, Nyla, Dixie, Nova, Tess, Taya, Tally, Fritzi, Mitra, Mason, Marin, Marisa (also coral), Luz, Lux, Lyric, Royal, Lynn, Taneesha, Zanisha / Zaneesha, Queen, Latifah, Lark, Koko, Fifi (also coral), Peggy, Jaya (also purple), Janae (also purple), Isla (also purple), Imogen, Imani (also purple), Gwen (also coral), Felice, Fairuza, Fantasia, Diamond, Destiny, Devon, Dylan.
Coral / hot pink names:
Lola (also red), Fuchsia, Comet, Rhiannon (also royal purple), Peony, Petal, Petula, Peggy (also turquoise), Penelope, Opera, Nolita, Nixi, Nayo, Flavia, Mya / Maya / Maia, Hailee / Hailey, Katelyn / Caitlin, Rae, Jorie, Mitzi, Mila, Micah, Sasha, Marlo, Mardi, Princess, Linda, Amanda, Fulvia, Lolita, Kiana, Liana, Kelilah (also purple), Shaniqua, Lane, Koffi, Kizzy, Kyra, Kaia, Naia, Kezia (also purple), Kiki, Gigi, Fifi, Kelis, Chelsea, Kendra, Kaylee, Kayla (also purple), Jenna, Jessa, Jenessa, Winona, Juliet, Imogen (also turquoise and purple), Aaliyah (also purple), Hyacinth (also purple and turquoise), Ava, Hannah, Harley, Gwen (also turquoise), Gypsy, Gemma (also turquoise), Zoa, Khloe / Kloe (also turquoise), Gelsey (also turquoise), Fatima (also purple), Essence (also turquoise), Egypt, Donna, Destiny (also turquoise).
There are loads more too, but it is essentially a collection of my least favourite names for the most part (sorry). Dark purple is usually worse, but no really nice names (IMO) seem to be coral or turquoise in my minds eyes.Mary, Esther, Constance, Susanna, Flora, Odelia, Dossie, Yuki, Louisa, Bettina, Thomasin, Bessie, Camellia, Magnolia, Fay, Axelle, Paviana, Magdalena, Evangeline, Josephine, Una, Raphaela, Francesca, Gardenia, Theodora, Endellion, Rosemary, Daphne, Antonia, Pascale, Frances.

Oooh awesome question! Those are my two favorite colors of all time! For me they both are sort of Mediterranean/summery/beachy or boho colors, so maybe some of those types of names might work... I don't know what names fit, but I'm really looking forward to hearing what other Berries think!
Turquoise: Kaia, Waverly, Thessaly, Echo, Isadora (also feels coral to me), Leilani/Kailani (also coral, I think a bunch of Hawaiian names might fit both as well)
Coral: Coralie (obviously), Lorelei, Elodie, Cosette, Eve, Calloway, CallaInkling (29), author & single supermom to two sweet kidlings: KV (8) and MP (5)
Always looking for naming inspiration for my Inky babies (aka characters)!

Mountainbike tour across the Coffee Cultural Landscape
We are an agency for nature and adventure tour operator specialized in tours on bike, culture and local experiences. Nothing traditional or mass tourism.
We can offer you a journey of 7 or more days by the Coffee Region of Colombia. A MTB tour in the middle of the Coffee Cultural Landscape, declared by UNESCO as cultural heritage of mankind. - (on bike: 35 to 50 km per day and altitude between 900 to 2.400 m.a.s.l)
Coffee Cultural Landscape: "An exceptional example of a sustainable and productive cultural landscape that is unique and representative of a tradition that is a strong symbol for coffee growing areas worldwide - encompasses six farming landscapes, which include 18 urban centres on the foothills of the western and central ranges of the Cordillera de los Andes in the west of the country. It reflects a centennial tradition of coffee growing in small plots in the high forest and the way farmers have adapted cultivation to difficult mountain conditions."
Day One: Pereira (Risaralda) - Distance Approx. 36 kms; altitude gain 1.411 to 1.800 meters
This day will ride bike to the Vereda La Suiza where we will begin a quiet walk surrounded by beautiful trees and fascinating singing bird to a beautiful crystalline, pure and cold waterfall, Los Frailes, where we can appreciate the magnitude and beauty generated by a small falling more than 50 meters above.
We will also hopefully see or hear Howler monkeys, inhabitants of this area. On our continued descent, surrounded by beautiful lush trees back to the Corregimiento of La Florida. La Florida is a small town surrounded by fields of bananas, green onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and other vegetables. We eat a delicious lunch made with products grown locally
Day Two: Santa Rosa de Cabal (Risaralda) - Distance Approx. 43 kms; altitude gain 1.600 to 2.000 meters
This route is characterized sweeping views of the central mountain range and the large agricultural fields in the area.

Day Tree: Vereda Combia - Estación Pereira (Risaralda) - Distance Approx. 43 kms; altitude gain 1.200 to 900 meters
This is a path framed by large and beautiful crops of coffee, banana, pineapple and guanabana. We will be able to see and hear birds such as parrots, motmots and canaries among others. At Pereira Station, we will take a "witch", local transportation that relies on a wooden pallet that has a bearing and moves on the rails of the old train – this a tour along the Cauca River full of excitement. Then we take another local transport named a "Garrucha" that is practically a basket in metal and wood suspended on steel cables that allows us to cross the Cauca River to the other side in the municipality of Belalcázar in Caldas.
Day Four: Alcalá (Valle del Cauca) - Quimbaya (Quindío) - Distance Approx.46 kms; altitude gain 1.000 to 1400 meters
Alcalá is a municipality of the department of Quindío, the most beautiful thing in this town are its large crops of fruit.
Quimbaya is a municipality in the western part of the department of Quindío. It is 20 km northwest of the departmental capital Armenia. The name of the city derives from the name of the Precolumbian culture that inhabited the area, the Quimbaya civilization. This day we will visit an exotic tropical flower farm.
Day Five: Filandia (Quindío) - Distance Approx.30 kms; altitude gain 1.400 to 1.900 meters It is a little town of artisans and coffee.

It was the first settlement in Quindío of the modern era, and the first municipality founded in the department. This day we will visit a real process of coffee. The town is one of the major tourist attractions of Colombia, thanks to its peaceful nature, impressive scenery, easy access to the Cocora valley, and the retention of much of its original bahareque architecture typical of the eje cafetero region. This style of architecture is especially notable on the "Royal Road".
Day Seven: Return to Pereira (Risaralda) - Distance Approx.43 kms; altitude gain 1.900 to 1.400 meters

GAZA, January 2, 2012 (WAFA) - Chairman of the Popular Committee against the Siege on Gaza, lawmaker Jamal al Khudari, Monday condemned the Israeli authorities' decision to demolish Karni (al-Mintar) commercial crossing, east of Gaza, according to a press release issued by Khudari's Gaza office.
The Israeli authorities Monday decided to demolish Karni crossing and move all commercial traffic to Kerem Shalom between Israel and Egypt. It claimed that armed Palestinian groups were targeting the crossing by digging tunnels under it, reported Israel radio.
Khudari, who is also a member in the Palestinian Legislative Council, said that the Israeli decision is a unilateral move that aims to separate Gaza from the West Bank and to tighten the blockade on Gaza.
The crossing has been closed for about a year now by the Israeli army.
Khudari called on the international community to pressure Israel to cancel its decision, appealing to the European parties, which funded the construction of the crossing, to stop Israel from carrying out its plans to separate Gaza from the rest of the world.
He stressed that the demolition of the crossing, whose building cost millions of dollars, will inflect a great loss on Palestinians.

Tokina's 11-16mm Available
July 8, 2011
Thanks to an email from Matt, The Tokina 11-16mm is back in stock. This was my first 'Tokina' brand lens I picked up because of some excellent reviews and I admit this thing has become one of my favorite wide lenses for cropped cameras like the T2i, T3i, 60D, or 7D. It is possible to mount this lens to a Full Frame camera like the 5D Mark II, but only when it's zoomed out to it's 16mm. When used in that manner, this thing is wicked wide.
The Tokina 11-16mm is one of my favorite lenses for Flying with a Steadicam / Glidecam stabilizer (many others favor this lens too for flying). Unlike Canon's 10-22mm, the Tokina can also maintain a nice wide aperture of F/2.8 throughout it's range for low light imaging. The lens has a solid build and very sharp, so if you're missing this super wide range in your lens collection, this is definitely the lens to get (click here).

ive been using this lens for quite a lot of stuff lately after i got it about a month ago and i've never looked back. (:
Btw Emm, i dont see you mentioning the 600D's x3 crop feature much around here and i'd like to add in my 5 cents.
Yes, its a crop mode and so its not exactly x3 of whatever focal length you are using but still, its at least still in full HD.
I've been using the crop mode for various reasons lately and ive begun to realise that the crop mode effectively makes all my lenses all the more potent.
For example, my tokina 11-16mm more or less 'transforms' into a 33-48mm lens at f2.8 thus giving it more reach as a "standard lens" without switching out lenses. I guess this neat feature is really for that odd guy on a really shoestring budget that makes him feel better. x)
Like i said, just my 5 cents as some sort of contribution to the hard work that you put into this site. 😀

How about vignetting on the 5D at 16mm?
July 8th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
Do you think it is sharper than samyang 14mm, 2.8 prime?

July 8th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
My 2cents to the community:
This lens is totaly Wicked! Is my main super wide lens that I use on both the 60D and the 5D.
You just have to purchace it from sellers that can provide you with the proper warranty because it might be a little "off" with the auto focus. Meaning that you will try to focus on 40cm distance and the lens focuses to 50cm distance. But an authorized tokina seller will replace your lens at once!
Sincerely this lens can be your secret weapon!
Realy valuable for your lens inventory!

Yeah, okay, I've had it on my B&H notifications along with the Nokton 0.25. Is there a site where it says when the $650 that I need to buy it will be available?
Amy Barrett
July 8th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
What options are for GH-1/2 users? I'm correct that buying the Canon version gives you no aperture ring, so you can only shoot at 2.8? Does the Nikon version have an aperture ring?
July 8th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Hello and thank you for all your job!
What do you think about the Samyang 14mm f2.8?
Is the sigma really better than the samyang?
There is a lot of comments about the sigma zoom have very short range (11-16)… (close to a prime)
PS: I've just receive my zip line (found on your blog)… maybe i can try it this weekend. But it's look very hard to achieve a stable footage, maybe better coupled with a small flycam/balanced systeme…
thanks a lot for all your tips…^_^
Sorry for my english ^_^
July 8th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
How close is this to a cannon 14mm L
July 8th, 2011 at 2:50 pm
(sorry I don't see the Eirik question.)
The difference is just about Autofocus?

Curious if anyone has played with the big brother of this lens. The 16-28mm that Tokina released earlier this year for full frames–it sounds like it's a pretty killer lens for the 5D at half the price of the 16-35 Mark II that Canon makes.
July 9th, 2011 at 11:22 am
One thing that is REALLY nice about this lens for steadicam work – it doesn't change the physical geometry of the lens when you change the zoom – so you don't need to rebalance. Unlike all Canon zooms. Granted it's not a large zoom range but when you're flying, there is a difference between 11mm and 16mm and it's nice to have that option.

Just picked up a flawless used copy here in Canada this week. Was worried at first that I may have gotten one of the anecdotal bad copies when viewing my first few pics taken with it hand held. Then I put it on my tripod and shot my garage door and found it's actually tack sharp from corner to corner at f/8.0 (probably actually from f/4.0 up)… soft corners at f/2.8 but that's to be expected and normal for not only this lens but most fast lenses.
I thought I could get away without a tripod for stills because of it being very wide and less prone to camera shake than a normal or telephoto lens but found I'll still want to use a tripod for tack sharp stills. Now I need to stick it up on my crane on my T2i and see how much weight it needs to balance it… it's not exactly light!
I see people mentioning all the time that you throw this thing on and pretty much everything is in focus due to how wide it is, but be aware that at f/2.8 it actually has a very shallow DOF if your subject is relatively near… you won't have everything in focus, not even close.
Focus is fast (if not in Live View) and I haven't noticed any accuracy issues yet with that on my copy but I haven't really put it through the ringer yet.
I think I'll be very happy with this thing. (I better, I paid second hand here in Canada almost what it costs for a new one south of the border!).
March 11th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
My favorite lens. It is super sharp, fast, extremely wide and inexpensive. It's a no-brainer lens.
November 17th, 2012 at 10:01 am
Don't know if you'll see this as it is an old thread, but with the 11-16mm, when you shoot do you tend toward the 16mm side. I'm not a big wide angle fan but do like it for steady cam and landscapes so I will probably be using it as a prime at 16mm. Is there much warping at this point. If not, where does it begin to warp. BTW I shoot with a T2i and 7D.
