SRINAGAR - Senior resistance leader and National Front chairman, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Monday lauded Kashmiri Muslims for rising above sectarian considerations and standing united in face of overt and covert attempts by various elements to incite trouble and cause disruption.
Joining the 11th Muharram procession at Magam in central Kashmir district of Budgam, Khan condemned the restrictions imposed on the traditional processions on Ashura accusing the "so-called" state government of using double standards in the name of law and order.
Khan said all the Muslims were united on the basis of their faith in Kalimah-e-Tawheed and those resorting to blood-letting in the name of sects and schools of thought should draw a lesion from Kashmiri Muslims.
"The Martyrdom of Imam Husain (AS) teaches us that we should not surrender before the evil and anti-Muslim forces and we should keep the torch of resistance burning against those who want to enslave Muslims through one or the other ways," Khan said, adding Muslims had been taught patience and tolerance as part of their faith.
Khan condemned the continuous detention of Ittehadul Muslimeen leader, Masroor Abbas Ansari, saying it had hurt the sentiments of thousands of people. (KNS)

Nestled between two landmarks near my condo, Dos Tacquitos and Hardees, lies Relish. A quaint place with a full yet casual patio that is great for any girls night out, or happy hour rendezvous, but it has a name (Relish) that makes me think of overpriced finger foods. So why did I go to this place? Girlfriend's request. When she mentioned it, I originally said that I won't go because I don't want a sandwich or a salad for dinner (even if it comes with my choice of pickle), which is all I expected from a place called "Relish".
Walking in and sitting down, I was not sure what to expect, other than the most expensive sandwich I've ever had. The clientele was a range of younger to older professionals and the occasional family. I am getting better at trying not to judge a restaurant by the wood they use, or at least I'm getting better at not wanting to leave because the wait staff is in a tie. For a what I thought was a sandwich place, Relish is as classy as it comes, however, nothing hinted at fine or even formal dining, so I didn't feel out of place in a nice t-shirt and some shorts. It was about the time that my sweet tea came to the table in a mason jar that my guard went down, and by the time that I saw they have mac and cheese skillets on the menu AND tables with adults were ordering them, I really loosened up.
First came the appetizer, which was deep-fried, black-eyed peas. This was my girlfriend's call and they tasted like the grease you smell at the state fair, but I felt healthy eating them. They were not great, definitely worth trying, but not worth ordering twice. Personally, I think they could have used a little more flavor, a few more pieces of pepper or onion wold have gone a long way. Still, they were enjoyable.
For my entree I got the fish tacos and they truly were tasty, they had a delicious slaw on them that gave the tacos some weight and the salsa that I ordered brought a great zest to the meal. Yet again, not ground breaking, but definitely good and this is a dish that chefs would says has very clean flavors and I agree. I ordered the tacos with a side salad, that was bigger than I could have imagined and I was STUNNED when I left the restaurant so full that I wanted to go for a walk.
My girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits and they were par for the course. Nothing I couldn't get at any other self respecting restaurant. We both agreed that my tacos were better and that we would order different items next time.
Our second trip was definitely a wake up call. My girlfriend got a Reuban and it was very close to being a bad reuban. It is definitely a sandwich that I would never recommend, but I cannot say that it is bad. This is another sandwich that suffers from having two times the bread to the filling and that's a big no-no for me.
On this second visit, I ordered the Chicken-Fried Steak with Mash and Green Beans; this is the meal that got away from me the first time around, and I was not going to let it happen again. My plate was a very satisfying size, but the biggest disappointment for me was the gravy. I am a proud southerner who cooks using my grandmother's recipes and scouring recipe blogs when I must. I have made gravy many times and many ways, and when I was first getting started in cooking, I did use some canned and powdered gravy starters; the gravy at Relish could take a lesson from them. To be fair, I am a gravy snob, but I can say with a full heart that the gravy I had, had NO flavor. I never salt or pepper my food once it comes to the table, but in this case, I HAD to. The steak was well cooked, I wanted to send the green beans back, I honestly don't think they left the kitchen season, and the mashed potatoes had a good texture, but we had flavor problems again.
In terms of overall experience, I did really enjoy this place and it's definitely a great place to take weight or health conscious friends. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are good. So I recommend.
Taste/Variety = mid-high
Portions = impressive
Price = mid-high (a few bucks more than Panera)
Service = low (our waiter sucked both times)
Atmosphere = highbrow, country chic
Total Value = mid-high
I was disappointed in Relish's Shrimp and Grits, so my friend Torre recommended his Pepper Roasted Shrimp and Grits recipe, so I thought I would share. Hope you enjoy!

I love Christmas parties. Since I won't be hosting one this year, I thought I would share some ideas for those of you who are! Simple, inexpensive ways to adorn your tables and add a little Christmas spice to your surroundings. Also, a few sweet treats that are easy and fun!
As a cake plate lover, I find this idea quite lovely.
These look delicious. Recipe here
Cute way to spruce up your brownies!
Fun for the kiddos.
Such a pretty and simple tablescape
These rings may be hard to find, use cedar branches instead and just tie a knot with the natural greenery around the candle.
This is so easy and it offers such a clean and classic look!
Enjoy celebrating this beautiful holiday!

|A False Student
Yasuzo Masumura Japan, 1960
(Nise daigakusei). Based on a novel by Kenzaburo Oe, this is a fascinating picture of anomie and conformity in the context of the pressures of Japanese society. A young man, Otsu (Jerry Fujio), is determined to fulfill his mother's dream that he go to college, but repeatedly fails the entrance exam. After years of studying, he cannot give up on her dream, which in turn has become his own. He convinces himself and others that he is a student. Very soon Otsu is caught up in the politics of a Maoist study group whose young adherents have all the pretensions and cruelty of their self-serving elders. Things take an extraordinary and gruesome turn when Otsu is thought to be a police informer and the comrades take matters into their own hands. Masumura films this tragedy with just the mixture of distance and curiosity our intelligent compassion requires; anything more intimate would be excruciating.
• Written by Yoshio Shirasaka, based on a novel by Kenzaburo Oe. Photographed by Hiroshi Murai. With Ayako Wakao, Jerry Fujio, Eiji Funakoshi, Ichizo Itami. (94 mins, In Japanese with English subtitles, B&W, 35mm, From The Japan Foundation, permission Daiei)

A career and life unfortunately cut short by accidental overdose, Jean-Michel Basquiat never the less established a lasting legacy in the neo-impressionist genre, especially the movement in America. Furthermore, till his untimely death in 1988, Basquiat and fellow graffiti writer Keith Haring, ushered in a new wave of interest in the art form.
In honor of his accomplishments and a celebration of his life, Reebok is introducing a capsule collection bearing the late artist's most famous works. Feature Reebok Freestyle, in black or white, with an all over pattern taken from Basquiat's 1987 piece Pegasus. Another edition is another Reebok classic, the Ex-O-Fit-Hi, in another all-over print treatment, this time adopted from Untitled (aka Crown) from 1983. Both exclusive models are now available, in limited quantity, at the Parisian boutique Colette.

Dish of the Day: The Reluctant Vegetarian's recipe for Crispy Fried Buttermilk Aubergine Tacos
Crispy Fried Buttermilk Aubergine Tacos
Don't be put off by the ingredients list, you'll have most of it in your cupboards. This also serves to impress at any dinner party and if aubergine and sprouts aren't your thing then replace these with any variety of vegetables. Oyster mushrooms, onions, avocados and cauliflower all work well as tasty substitutes and need a lot less marinating time. Get creative…
Cooking / Preparation Time – (As long as you have the patience to marinate the aubergine for – From 1hr to overnight ) plus 30 minutes cooking preparation
Feeds – 4/6
Buttermilk Marinade
150g of Buttermilk (If you can't find this use sour cream and add a dash of milk)
2 x Tbsp of smoked paprika
1 x Tsp of cayenne pepper
2 x Tbsp of maple syrup
Sprinkle of rock salt
Generous sprinkle of white pepper
Generous sprinkle of black pepper
Flour Mix
2 x Cups of plain flour
2 x Tbsp of smoked paprika
1 x Tsp of cayenne pepper
Sprinkle of rock salt
Generous sprinkle of white pepper
1/2 x Lemon zest
Pickled Red Onion
1 x Large red onion finely sliced
3 x Large glugs of red wine vinegar – Enough to cover the onion
1 x Tbsp of caster sugar
Spicy Pickled Radishes
5 x Radishes – Finely sliced
2 x glugs of red wine vinegar – enough to cover the radishes
1 x Tsp of caster sugar
1 x inch of ginger – Finely sliced
1/4 x Medium sized red chilli – Finely sliced
Paprika Mayo
4 x Tbsp of full fat mayonnaise
1 x Tbsp of smoked paprika
Large sprinkle of white pepper
Glug of Choula chilli sauce or Tabasco
Squeeze of a lemon
Pack of soft flour tortillas – Allow one per person
1/4 x Red Cabbage – Finely sliced/shredded
2 x Handfuls of brussels sprouts – Cut in half and pull off some of the leaves so you get more crispy bits
1/2 x Bunch of fresh coriander finely sliced to garnish
3/4 x Red Chilli – Finely sliced to garnish
Start by combining the buttermilk marinade with the spices then add the aubergine, cover and leave in the fridge to marinate for as long as your patience allows.
Whilst the aubergine marinates combine the spices with the plain flour so it's ready to coat the aubergine then start on pickling the red onion and radishes, combing all ingredients listed above and making sure you finely slice both the onions and radishes, they'll pickle quicker this way.
Ensure the red cabbage is as finely shredded as possible and put to one side along with the coriander and fresh red chilli if you fancy the extra spice.
Combine the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and spices. Give it a try to make sure you're happy with it, add extra spice if you can handle it.
Heat up a medium sized pan with vegetable oil until the fat is bubbling hot. Test by sampling one small piece of aubergine before adding the rest – It should fizz and float to the top if ready.
Once the aubergine is marinated carefully remove it from the marinade and add it straight to the flour mix coating all sides (try to keep as much of the marinade on the aubergine as possible) before adding to the hot oil and deep frying for 3/4 minutes until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon to remove it from the oil, place the aubergine onto paper towels to soak up some of the excess oil.
TIP: Don't overfill the pan as it reduces the temperature of the oil. You can keep the cooked aubergine warm in the oven if you have a fair bit to get through.
Once you've cooked all the aubergine, start by adding the shredded cabbage to the middle of a taco followed by a generous topping of paprika mayo and the crispy fried aubergine. Follow this with the pickled onions and radishes before garnishing with coriander, chilli and crispy sprouts. Serve whilst the aubergine is still warm.
If this sounds good but leftover turkey is what you're working with then visit the Get In My Gob website and blog for more options

PEACE DALE ŌĆō To help those in need during these economic times, the South Kingstown TeacherŌĆÖs Union held its annual Have a Heart Fundraiser last month to support the local community.
The elementary school teachers, including West Kingston, Peace Dale, Matunuck, Wakefield and the Hazard Preschool raised $1,621 for the Johnnycake Center.
Broad Rock Middle School and Curtis Corner Middle School have raised money for the WomenŌĆÖs Domestic Center, while the South Kingstown High School teachers raised money for the Welcome House of South County.
This is the third year the teacherŌĆÖs union has held the fundraiser to raise money for the community.
As part of the fundraiser, many local businesses donated raffle baskets and prizes to the cause.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had a great response,ŌĆØ Nancy Cordy, a teacher from West Kingston Elementary School said. ŌĆ£At West Kingston, we did raffles and went around to local merchants asking them to contributeŌĆØ
Cordy said one businesses that helped make a difference was OrbieŌĆÖs on Main Street. OrbieŌĆÖs donated a free cup of coffee for a year as a raffle prize.
MaryBeth Schmitt, a teacher from Peace Dale Elementary School said teachers from Peace Dale had raffle ideas in the form of service, in which a teacher would volunteer to organize the desk or room of the winner.
ŌĆ£We are very mindful of the economic burden that some of our own students and families are feeling at this time and we hope this will help in some way,ŌĆØ Cordy said.
Indeed, I do rather consent with this article because I am constantly looking for fresh ways to take advantage of the net's influence!

Washingtontonians... PM me if you're interested in Old Blowhard and Barterhouse in WA.
Maker's Mark Seahawks bottles showed up at Total Wine today. They were all sold out in Bellevue and Lynnwood as of late morning (not sure of the other locations) but Bevmo is expecting some too. If you missed out on this round, keep in contact with your nearest Bevmo store. I have a feeling TW will be getting more too, I was surprised as how few bottles were received at each store after hearing how many cases TW was supposedly allocated.
I could really use a Green Spot in Oregon if anyone on Southern WA wants to help a fella out.
Central Market in Shoreline has a Four Roses Private Selection Barrel Strength. For the life of me I can't remember the recipe. It runs ~$78 after tax. They have a dedicated wine/liquor staff so if you're interested you can call. They've also got a metric ton of Whistlepig 10-year and 11-year sitting in the "high-end room" collecting dust at outrageous prices (someone got snookered by the distributor it seems).
Deleted my post.

Bookers 25th has landed in the Northwest. I chanced across it outside Seattle so I don't know how wide the distribution is.

Social Media
Web 2.0 and social media are commonly used buzzwords to describe the Internet today. But what do they mean?
Wiktionary defines Web 2.0 as:
The second generation of the World Wide Web, especially the movement away from static webpages to dynamic and shareable content
Wikipededia define Social Media as follows:
Social media is an umbrella term that defines the various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words ...
As accurate that the above statements are, they do not explain the explosion of site allowing both business and the individual to share information over the Internet. Maybe the beat way to describe in a business sense is that the Internet has become the new "golf course" where you can find new business and touch sides with your existing business. And for the indiviual: the local pub (or cafe) where you can meet new friends, socialise with old friends and catch up with your lives.
And this happens, seven days a week, twenty fours a day, not just during business hours. So how do you use this "magic"?
There are a great many Web 2.0 applications out there, we will look at some of the more popular ones and their potential use to business.
Facebook is an Application that allows you to stay in touch with your friends. Every message, photo that you post on your facebook will show on your friends facebook and vice versa every thing they post will appear on your face book. This part of Facebook is personal, it is agreat way to keep in touch with your children overseas. In order to use it for business, you need start a group.This is a good way to spread news fast. It worked in the run up to the US elections and gave Barak Obama an edge over his rivals.
Flickr is an online photo album. It is used by both amateur and professional photographers to show off their photos. You have a chioce of making it private and restricting who can see your photos or you can make it public. But your photos are also tagged (labeled) making it easier to find when searching.
Picassa (Google)
Picassa is a similar application, the differance is that whilst you can show your photos online, picass also allows you to download software (free) that allows you sort your photos out into albums as well as some basic editing.
Twitter allows u to send a short (140 characters) quick meassage to any one following your twitts. You do not even have have your internet browser open.
Blogger (Google)
A Blog is an online journal. Blogger is the simplest one available and is easy enough to operate and make look professional. You can use it to post the latest news.
There are many ways to spread news quickly, do not use just one application, beacuse you will limit your audiensce, however do not go overboards.

Governor Steve Beshear is awarding the Bell County Fiscal Court more than eight million dollars by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to build an access road from U.S. 1-19 to the Asher Industrial Park.
The bridge to nowhere now has direction. Crews are planning to build an access road.
Officials say this construction is what the area needs to promote growth.
"We can pave that road and still not attract a client immediately...but if we do not pave the road the chances of getting anyone there are slim," said State Representative Rick Nelson.
While plans are still rocky, leaders hope to build three lanes from the bridge up to the industrial site.
Officials with the Bell County Fiscal Court are in charge of the project, so they can hire local contractors.
"Anytime you are in a recession and you can grow infrastructure... then that sets you to be ready when the recession ends to create jobs," said Albey Brock, Bell County Judge Executive.
This is near the site of the proposed power plant.
Leaders believe the new road will only improve the chances of getting the plant.

About Dubuque, IA
Dubuque is a city in and the county seat of Dubuque County, Iowa, United States, located along the Mississippi River. In 2010 its population was 57,637, making it the ninth-largest city in the state and the county's population was 93,653. The city lies at the junction of three states: Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, a region locally known as the Tri-State Area. It serves as the main commercial, industrial, educational, and cultural center for the area. Geographically, it is part of the Driftless Area, a portion of North America that escaped all three phases of the Wisconsinian Glaciation. It is one of the few large cities in Iowa with hills, and is home to a large tourist industry, driven by the city's unique architecture, and river location. Also, it is home to five institutions of higher education, making it a center for culture and learning. While Dubuque has long been a center of manufacturing, the economy has recently witnessed rapid growth and diversification in other areas. In 2005, it led the state and the Midwest in job growth, ranking as the 22nd fastest-growing economy nationally. Today, alongside industry, the city has large health care, education, tourism, publishing, and financial service sectors. (more on Wikipedia)

Speaking to a packed hall at last weekend's Eurogamer Expo, Capcom US producer Alex Jones fielded questions from fans, following a fantastic looking demo of DmC –the latest in the highly popular Devil May Cry franchise. While being somewhat elusive regarding specifics in terms of game-modes and extras, he was able to definitively confirm one thing – there will be no on-disc DLC.
Capcom, of course, came under significant criticism earlier this year, upon the release of Streetfighter X Tekken. Following its release, it became clear that future paid downloadable characters were actually already contained as code on the retail copy of the game – paying money would simply allow you to unlock them. This won't be a problem for DMC.
"Right now we're focusing on getting the main game done. DLC is always an option but right now we're focusing getting [DMC] on, but if we do [DLC], it will not be on the disc," he said.
This will come as welcome news to some fans, after some initially lukewarm reactions to the visual overhaul of main character, Dante, and a jump back to the start of the Devil May Cry timeline. From what we've seen so far, there's probably not a lot to worry about.
"We'll be definitive about that – it will not be on the disc" he confirmed, just to be absolutely clear.

Eggy Burps – What Causes and Cures Them?
Eggy burps are more common than you may think and is a problem that is horrible, humiliating and for some difficult to treat and find the source. So what exactly does cause eggy burps and how do you cure them.
Some people are born with healthy digestive systems, others are unfortunate and suffer with problems throughout their lives. However, with some problems it does not matter how your digestive system arrived in this world but more how you look after it. I've recently discovered this myself and would like to share with you a wonderful story about eggy burps, and some possibly causes and cures.
I haven't got the best digestive system by any means – I have IBS, which does give me bouts of diarrhoea and crippling stomach cramps. However, what I had recently was totally different. The only way I can explain it is you burp like when you are about to be sick, yet rather than nothing being there, there is this awful foul smelling odour and taste – just like rotten eggs. It really did make me feel quite ill.
I spoke to a friend I know online, who isn't a doctor and neither am I, but he is very interested in health and that sort of quirky thing – this was the only support I had at 2am in the morning and decided it was better than nothing! He told me that the most likely cause was an in-balance of bacteria in the stomach. The best way he described it for me was like the Yakult adverts – you know the good bacteria and bad bacteria. Basically he told me that at the moment there was far too much bad bacteria and it was "eating away" at the good bacteria – so I needed to eat/drink some good bacteria to replenish the good stuff. He also said a secondary cause may be that bad bacteria thrives on yeast – which if you eat too much yeast products can make this problem worse. He recommended that I try eating live bacteria – which I cannot say I was exactly thrilled about, but I settled on Yakult. (Do not eat or drink anything unlicensed – eat only things that say they have the right bacteria in!) After a day or so the eggy burps did actually decrease and now I do not have them anymore, and I have found that the cramping and bloating I had has also gone. I have carried on with the Yakult though!
Causes Of Eggy Burps:
I have since done a little research about eggy burps, their causes and any possible cure – other than my friends, unconventional, method of drinking yakult. Eggy burps are caused by Hydrogen Sulfide in the digestive system, which is normal as we do eat foods containing Sulphur – but we have Sulphur reducing microbes in the digestive system to deal with them. Sometimes though, we can eat too many products containing Sulfur protein or the microbes that break it down do not work as well.
Types of food that contain Sulfur protein include red meat, eggs (unsurprisingly), tea, coffee and poultry. An idea may be to try and reduce the amount of these consumed and see if that helps your eggy burps. If eating too much of these products is the cause then you should expect to see an improvement, if not a complete stop, to the burps within 2 days.
Cures Of Eggy Burps:
Try cutting out possible risk factors, drink lots of water, perhaps try gaviscon etc and if the problem has not resolved within 3 days – seek advice from your doctor. Remember I am not a doctor and you should always seek medical advice if in doubt.

so its armament depends on the infantry that you put inside? where have i seen something like this before... too bad it can't transport infantry like a bmp.
Rise Of The Reds is an expansion mod for Generals: Zero Hour that adds the Russian Federation, European Continental Alliance and is packed with overhauls and changes to the original factions. Whether it's steamrolling Russians, indomitable European defenders, American high-tech, Chinese strength in numbers or the brutal cunning of the GLA - Rise of the Reds has a faction for everyone's tastes - even to take your opponents on land, air and sea!
so its armament depends on the infantry that you put inside? where have i seen something like this before... too bad it can't transport infantry like a bmp.
Red Alert 2 - Allied Rocket IFV?
Everything's made to fit. High speed low drag. We can make adjustments.
transformer panels in order
try inserting a brute lol.... best ifv combo i had was with the shock troopers.... and oh using tanya inside the ifv to train it :D best was a battle tanks with 5 shock trooper
As a Slavonian, I can say that I'm proud of this machine! Thank you SWR team for naming this unit after our Pandurs :D
You can pretty much thank the Austrians for making the real ones.
That's just the name of the infantry unit. Real Pandurs are todays police in that time. So they just named the infantry after Pandurs.
I was talking about the vehicles.
Aha sry for misunderstanding! Well TBH I didn't know they exist :D
Multigunner meets CnC generals.
To an extend yes altho there was an IFV in RA2 long before the multigunner from RA3 ;)
IFV was American. Multigunner is European so it closer.
The Multigunner is Australian IRCC.
I remember ShockWave also had multigunner mechs. Cool model though.
and everyone seems forgot the combat bike.
what about commandos?
Great throwback of the classic Allied IFV :)
Guns n Go Go
Real cool vehicle. I want to play with ECA!
Nice model and texture. I like the wheels and all the little bolts.
What does the canister gun do?
Think of it as a realy big shotgun ;)
I hope all infantry can have specific weapons platforms for this vehicle including the non-ECA infantry units because I want to put a tesla armed shock trooper in one of these babies.
What about a Toxin Rebel, Sniper or Hacker? That could be interesting :D
We all already know what happens if you put a Terrorist inside on of these... I think.
Well... If we put a Shocktrooper in it, what weapon will it have? Bolter or Tesla gun (i vote for Bolter because I flakking like the way they fire)
Depending on the gun he entered with, maybe?
Named after a Slavonian infantry force from the 18th century, the Pandur III is the third generation of the eponymous family of wheeled combat vehicles in service of the Austrian Bundesheer. Whilst originally designed as an armoured personnel carrier, the European Continental Alliance has decided to fill this particular role with the Swedish-made Lynx Bandvagn, choosing the heavy weapons carrier variant of the highly versatile Pandur as its standard infantry fighting vehicle instead. As such, the ECA Pandur omits its troop carrying capabilities in favour of additional storage space for a variety of heavy weapons that can be installed on the turret and operated by a dedicated specialist infantryman ordered into the vehicle. These include a 20mm auto-cannon, a self-loading, four-barrelled set of Panzerfausts, a rapid-firing grenade machine gun, an extendable repair arm, medical supplies and a short-barrelled canister gun. Its steel-encased polymer armour protects the Pandur against smallarms fire and keeps it light enough to fully utilise the mobility of its six wheels, making it a useful addition to any mechanised force. Oddly enough for a vehicle originating from a landlocked country, the Pandur is also equipped with inflatable rubber skirts to traverse stretches of water, such as the Danube river that runs through northern Austria.

OUR OPINION: City government dissension is cause for concern
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The new San Angelo City Council has been seated less than a month, and already municipal government is bumping along a rocky road.
District 5 Councilman H.R. "Winkie" Wardlaw, who was elected in June, called for an executive session of the council on Tuesday to "deliberate the appointment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of the San Angelo city manager, assistant city managers, all department directors, and acting or interim department directors."
Mayor Dwain Morrison and City Attorney Lysia Bowling properly raised concerns about the legality of the council meeting in closed session to talk about city staff, but the council voted to do it anyway. Members returned 50 minutes later and Morrison said a general discussion about the duties of the council and city manager occurred but no action was taken, presumably averting a possible illegality.
All residents can surmise is that Wardlaw is unhappy with city staff and wants to take some of them to the woodshed, and maybe fire them. That, along with a call to do something that might violate the Open Meetings Act, is not the kind of start to a council term that inspires confidence.
Wardlaw, who said he was "more than willing to air this dirty laundry in open session" if necessary, is angry that issues he wanted to discuss hadn't made it on the agenda.
Apparently at least one of the instances involved City Manager Daniel Valenzuela directing that a discussion be postponed because he was out of town on city business and he wanted to be present when the issue was considered.
Perhaps Wardlaw has some justification for his pique. Even so, this wasn't the way to express it.
San Angeloans expect and deserve a City Council that behaves professionally and respectfully. They don't want council members to run from problems, but neither do they want them to create problems out of spite.
That's especially important at the start of a new council term with four new members and a mayor new to that role, and a time the city faces greater challenges than in many years. The Wardlaw episode unnecessarily creates a combative tone that will have to be overcome if the council is to be successful going forward.
It also undermines the city manager and, if this becomes the tenor of municipal government, it will create a hostile, demoralizing climate in which talented people won't want to work. It could even create an image of a government beset by petty infighting that would cause businesses to stay away.
It's worth pointing out that in our form of municipal government the council sets policies and directs a city manager who oversees a staff that is charged with carrying out those policies. When council members try to get involved in directing staff, problems are almost certain to arise.
The goal always should be to operate in a way that helps city government to be more effective for the people it serves. That is best accomplished through civil discourse, seeking consensus and building relationships rooted in trust and respect.
Beginning a term with power struggles and flexing of political muscles is exactly the wrong formula for establishing effective governance.
This City Council has hit a pothole of one member's making. Members should recognize that and learn quickly from the mistakes. San Angeloans need for them to know their roles and to perform them in a way that gives confidence the leadership is working to make the city better, not tear down its governing structure.

Another summer, another reason to never go to Brooklyn.
Yes, my friends, the bedbugs are back in the King's County District Attorney's Office. Last summer, bedbugs invaded the KCDA's office — and emails started flying around from concerned employees on the verge of having anxiety attacks.
You'd think that given all the coverage and stress, the city would have spent the winter figuring out some way of protecting public employees that have to work in Brooklyn.
But maybe there's just no cure for bedbugs….
Here's the email that Brooklyn DA employees received. As usual, it's likely to make you itch:
Unfortunately, as the warm weather arrived so did 2 reports of bed bugs. We immediately called in the exterminators and the entire area where they were found was treated. We are being pro-active about this problem and on Monday June 13th at 6 PM, the exterminators will be on every floor, in every Bureau and every office with the trained dogs to check for the presence of bed bugs. The professionals will exterminate as necessary.
This is being done in the evening to minimize the disruption of work and to ensure that employees avoid contact with the dogs and the extermination materials.
I will keep you updated and provide information as necessary.
Yeah. This is gross. But at least it seems like they are trying to get on top of the problem.
In the meantime, I think Brooklyn prosecutors should be cutting deals to have criminals bedbug-sweep the offices every morning before the attorneys have to sit down to work.

Fanny Brice
Chapters in American Jewish History are provided by the American Jewish Historical Society, collecting, preserving, fostering scholarship and providing access to the continuity of Jewish life in America for more than 350 years (and counting). Visit www.ajhs.org.
Jewish comedians have made significant contributions to American popular culture. Jewish comic geniuses such as Harold Lloyd, Eddie Cantor, George Burns, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Sid Ceasar, Lennie Bruce, Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Alan King, Gilda Radner, and Jerry Seinfeld, to name but a few, have enriched the nation's culture by allowing Americans to laugh at themselves.
With the exception of Lloyd, Burns, and Seinfeld, the majority of successful American Jewish comedians attained popularity by fulfilling widely accepted ethnic Jewish stereotypes, or by employing a manic, burlesque style of humor. In the first half of the twentieth century, these expectations were almost impossible for Jewish comics to escape. No career illustrates the limits and possibilities of being a Jewish comedian better than that of Fanny Brice.
Born on the Lower East Side of New York in 1891, the third of four children of saloon-owning immigrant parents, Fania Borach chose a performer's career early in life. Historian Barbara Grossman notes that, in an era that typically based entertainment on ethnic stereotypes such as the drunken Irishman, the ignorant Pole or the Yiddish-accented greenhorn, Brice's "Semitic looks" slotted her into Jewish roles. Despite her efforts to succeed as a serious actress and singer, Brice–who spoke no Yiddish–rose to stardom performing comedy with a Yiddish accent. Just as Al Jolson donned blackface to make his mark in show business, Brice affected a Yiddish background she did not possess.
In 1908, dropping out of school after the eighth grade, the gangly, strong-voiced Fanny Borach worked as a chorus girl in a burlesque review. By the end of that year, she changed her last name to Brice. Grossman speculates that Fanny probably changed her name to escape limited Jewish stage roles. Ironically, a year later, she would make her first Broadway mark in a musical comedy, The College Girls, singing Irving Berlin's "Sadie Salome, Go Home" with a put-on Yiddish accent while dancing a parody of the seductive veil dance in Richard Strauss' opera Salome. Her act brought down the house. Despite her desire for universality, Brice found her niche as a "Jewish" entertainer.

Visitor or Resident?
This morning while waiting for the school bus to pick up my son, I heard the familar honking of Canada geese. I am used to seeing the local flocks of 10 or so geese flying from the Housatonic River in the center of town to the pond near our house, or onto the wide lawns of the private school just around the corner.
So I looked just above the horizon in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing. I kept looking around for the familiar V formation of flying geese, but still nothing. Finally I looked directly overhead and there they were—a large group, in a V of course, but way up in the sky, much higher than I usually see them. A second group at the same height passed over a minute later. The geese—at least some of them—are heading north to their breeding grounds in Canada. A sure sign that spring is on the way.
The Canada goose is a large, handsome bird with its distinctive markings, and is extremely common in North America. It is also somewhat of a pest, occupying open fields and parks, and leaving droppings everywhere. Because of the abundance of food, the Canada goose has adapted to suburban life and many no longer migrate very far south in the winter. It has become a year-round resident where I live, despite the cold weather we can get.
Because of the mess the Canada goose makes, towns or private property owners make efforts to keep the geese away. Some places have people bring trained herding dogs, such as border collies, to periodically chase away the geese. Other places have plastic coyote decoys placed around the property, since coyotes are predators of the geese. None of these approaches are terribly effective and most people I know have just gotten used to cleaning their shoes after a visit to a grassy park.
For more information and cool facts on the Canada goose, visit All About Birds.

Do you mean egrets or geese?
Coz our geese at home do not fly in the sky. Your pics show that they do fly. Right?
Anyway, when they are in the sky, they look small and fragile maybe. But, the pic at lower right side shows a huge goose. Then I understand why the local residents or property owners dont like them meandering and pecking around.
We have some beautiful white crane in the country farm lands. They look pretty and don't seem to do harms to the locals.
Geese do not migrate through my town, so I think of them as very exotic. I am fascinated when I see them in the Northeast at my inlaws' house or anywhere else. Most of my friends think of them as pests, but I think I would relish their beauty and charm if they swung through my backyard every year.
I have a really funny story about decoy coyotes. I used to work at an obscure division of a famous children's publisher, and we had our share of Canada geese hanging around our office park. So the maintenance group and the powers-that-be got together and decided to put a few coyote decoys around. This being publishing, where money is tight, instead of life-size plastic ones, they purchased flat laminated cardboard ones. Needless to say,. the decoys were completely ineffective.
Then one day I was driving into work and noticed that the cardboard coyote was gone. In its place was a cardboard cutout of a Canada goose with a coyote dangling from its mouth. The prank, created by someone with superior graphic skills, upset management quite a bit. But the employees thought it was very clever.
The cardboard coyotes disappeared, and plastic decoys soon replaced them. The geese continued to make themselves at home on the lawn.

SXSW 2014 Recap: Our Favorite Technology Finds
19 Mar, 2014
Photo credit: Bionym.
The South by Southwest (SXSW) conference and festival has evolved quite a bit over the years. Originally starting off as a music conference in 1987 with 700 registrants in Austin, Texas, SXSW has grown to also attract technology and film companies – and it now has over 16,000 registrants attending! This year's show wrapped up on Sunday, Mar. 16. In case you missed some of the gadgets and new technology introduced, check out our recap of our favorite tech finds from SXSW 2014.
Oculus Rift
Ready to teleport for your next gaming session? You can teleport virtually using Oculus Rift – the virtual reality 3D headset that took SXSW 2014 by storm. It tracks all of your subtle movements, so you feel like you are actually inside the world of your game. Plus, when you look around in the game, you'll have a 110° field of view.
Forget trying to remember multiple passwords for your different devices. Bionym's Nymi (pictured above), a device worn on the wrist, tracks your cardiac rhythm (which is unique to every person) and can sign you into all of your devices that are registered with the Nymi app.
The 314 Bag
Charge your phone…in your purse. The 314 – a handbag created by Jon Lou – will charge your phone or tablet using MIT technology. Plus, the 314 is Italian-designed so you can still look stylish while charging your devices.
Chef Watson
Imagine telling a computer to decide what your next meal should be. IBM's high-tech computer system, Watson, made waves by creating special recipes that chefs prepared for SXSW guests. To get a new recipe, simply input the region, main ingredients and food type of your desired dish, and Watson will generate unique recipes that you may never have imagined.
Epiphany Eyewear
Unless you look closely, you wouldn't know that the glasses created by Epiphany were able to record and stream HD video and audio (and can store up to 32GB of data!). Epiphany Eyewear HD video smart glasses were created to look classic and be worn as everyday glasses. These glasses can even be connected to the cloud, so you can wirelessly share the video you captured with them.

PORTERDALE -- Terry Barnes, a native of Porterdale who returned to live in the town about five years ago, is making his first foray into politics with a bid for the City Council Post 3 seat.
Barnes will face opposition from another newcomer, Tim Savage, in the Nov. 8 municipal election. The successful candidate will fill the unexpired term of Arline Chapman, who resigned to seek election as Porterdale mayor.
Barnes, who retired after 30 years at General Motors in Atlanta and who now works as chief custodian at Livingston Elementary School, said he decided to run after becoming involved in the Friends of Porterdale, a non-profit group that works to preserve the historic integrity of the mill village. Barnes said he attended the Porterdale Reunion and some meetings of the Friends of Porterdale and his interest grew from there.
Barnes said he would like to see the city improve on the Yellow River Park and continue to work toward rebuilding the Porter Memorial Gymnasium, which burned in 2005. The gym renovation is a major project of the Friends of Porterdale.
"It may be rebuilt and it may not, but it won't be because we didn't try," Barnes said of the gym.
Barnes said he is also interested in revitalizing downtown Porterdale and would like to recruit a grocery store to the area. A benefit of expanding the city's tax base would be that the city would be able to restore employees to full-time work. Employees are now taking furlough time each week as a cost-cutting measure.
Barnes is also in favor of maintaining the Porterdale Police Department's K-9 program.
"I really do like the K-9 program," he said. "We're getting that for about free, and a lot of cities are paying high dollar for that."
In addition, Barnes said he would work to attract light industry to property that the city owns along Covington Bypass.
Barnes described Porterdale as "a gem in the rough," and said the council needs to address the amount of rental property in the city.
"There are so many absentee landlords and the property is allowed to run down.
"It can go one of two ways," Barnes said of Porterdale's future. "It can fall down on its face or it can be brought back up. The economy is holding us down right now, but I believe it can be done."
If elected, Barnes said he believes he would work well with other council members.
"It would be different if I was going in as an outsider," he said. "I know everyone on the council and I get along with all of them."
Barnes' campaign efforts include putting out signs and going door-to-door, meeting with residents of the city.
Barnes is a member of the First United Methodist Church of Covington. He has one son who lives in Covington.

Finally, somebody that wants to focus on improving the city departments and attracting businesses, instead of raising money for fireworks?! If you can raise $15,000.00 for 20 minutes worth of fireworks, you can raise half that much to install a bathroom at the public works shed. They don't even have a building with heat and A/C?! They have to take care of their physiological needs at Burger King for Pete's sake! You can forget about the gym, though. That's a lost cause!

Galloway Red Kites - Dumfries and Galloway
NOTE: The kite feeding station at Laurieston
The Galloway Red Kite Trail, an exciting nature watching opportunity to view spectacular red kites in lovely scenery is now attracting the attention of walkers, cyclists, wildlife lovers and birdwatchers in Dumfries and Galloway and from much further afield. The 'Galloway Kite Trail' around beautiful Loch Ken promotes the population of kites, recently re-established in Kirkcudbrightshire, as a source of nature-based tourism to benefit local communities in the area. In so doing, the trail is helping to strengthen the 'ownership' of the kites by local communities and tourist operators.
The trail is an anticlockwise route of some twenty four miles around Loch Ken (winter) with an additional fourteen miles of forest drive (summer only). You can collect a trail guide leaflet at business outlets on the trail or download the leaflet here. Being out on a bike is a great way to spot red kites and for the energetic, it's a reasonably level route, with cycle racks provided at Boat O Rhone, New Galloway and Mossdale. The west side of Loch Ken is particularly quiet and attractive for cyclists.
There are viewing points with interpretation boards; several walks,(from a few hundred metres to 5km); viewing hides; a feeding station; visitor centre with CCTV (summer only); information boards in various outlets around Loch Ken; and two red kite sculptures, (at Parton and Mossdale). Information shelters are situated in Castle Douglas, Crossmichael, Parton and New Galloway. The trail is signposted with brown road signs in an anticlockwise direction, for additional guidance en route.
For a taster of the feeding spectacle at this farm, click on the red kite above for a link to YouTube and fantastic footage courtesy of Peter Hines.
RSPB Scotland are present on some days to provide information and answer questions. A community liaison officer is funded by RSPB Scotland with support from Scottish Natural Heritage and is present at either the Clatteringshaws Visitor Centre (Galloway Forest) or at Bellymack Hill Farm (Laurieston) on certain days. For forthcoming dates on when he is available at these sites, please click here.
The site also offers good views of raven and buzzard. Large numbers of kites are best seen in late afternoon in the winter months, but there are generally some kites around all day at any time of the year.

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – The University of Maryland Eastern Shore baseball team closes its 2013-14 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference regular season schedule on Friday afternoon as the Hawks host Delaware State for a doubleheader on Senior Day at Hawk Field. The Hawks will honor the careers of four seniors in Stephen Bull (Millsboro, Del.), Byron Campbell (Waldorf, Md.), Jeffrey Fleetwood (Delmar, Del.) and Bernard Parker (Waldorf, Md.).
Friday's contests will be broadcasted by SFMSports on WAMS 101.1 FM and will be streamed online. Ryon Downing has the call for the Hawks Radio Network.
UMES (13-29, 8-14) looks to sweep a doubleheader against DSU for the second time this season. A sweep would ensure UMES the No. 3 slot in the MEAC North standings and would give them a matchup against the No. 2 team in the MEAC South at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday. UMES has swept two of its past four doubleheaders, despite losing nine of its last 11 matchups.
Fresh off of winning the 2013-14 UMES Male Athlete of the Year, Bull comes into the game hitting .339 with 15 RBI and 36 runs. He has already collected two national player of the week honors and capped a 25-game hit streak last week against Norfolk State. Campbell is hitting a team-high .379 and leads the team in homeruns (four), RBI (35) and doubles (nine). Campbell has reached base safely in 27 consecutive games and is 11-for-15 against DSU in the last four outings.
Fleetwood has 33 starts so far this year for UMES and is among the top-5 on the team in batting average (.273). He has 30 hits and 11 RBI. Bull, Campbell and Fleetwood have combined for nearly 40-percent of the Hawks RBI totals this year and have hit among the top-5 hitters in the lineup for the majority of this season.
Parker has been the most consistent reliever for the Hawks this year. He carries a team-low 3.48 ERA with a 2-0 record in 16 appearances and 31 innings.
The Hawks have had a pair of young catchers put together solid freshman campaigns in Justin Dattilo (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Troy Anderson (Bridgeport, W.Va.). The two will most likely split duties on Friday. Sophomore Mike Escanilla (Waldorf, Md.) has been an anchor at shortstop and is hitting .290 with 16 RBI and six doubles.
Delaware State (26-15, 15-7 MEAC) has solidified its place atop the MEAC North standings. They are hitting nearly 50 points higher (.343) than the closest team and have the second-best pitching staff in the conference. The Hornets also feature the top-3 hitters in the MEAC and have two of the top-4 pitchers.
D.J. Miller is hitting .434 with 13 doubles, while Mike Alexander has 37 RBI and a MEAC-best seven homers. Aaron Nardone leads the conference with 41 walks and Matt McClain is 6-0 with a 2.59 ERA in 76.1 innings.

Californians Value Their Lions
Last month, the only known male mountain lion left in Southern California's Santa Monica Mountains was killed and mutilated by a poacher. Residents were outraged that, according to Calabasas City Councilmember Mary Sue Maurer,
"someone would intentionally kill one of our rare mountain lions. We are determined to do everything we can to bring the perpetrator to justice."
California is home to the nation's largest mountain lion population, and many communities take great pride in their local wildlife and do everything they can to prevent poaching. The town of Calabasas is no exception and has joined with CalTIP (Californians Turn In Poachers and Polluters), wildlife organizations, and caring individuals to increase the initial reward from $2,500 to $11,700.
In nearly every state that still has a viable mountain lion population, the cats are hunted for sport. Thousands of lions are slaughtered each year for hunters'
"recreational enjoyment"
or to try to reduce the lion population because the species is simply
in that particular state. Fortunately, that is not the case in California. In fact, most Californians are shocked and in disbelief when they hear about the cruel persecution mountain lions are facing across our country. The Mountain Lion Foundation is constantly asked
"How could those states do such terrible things to this magnificent animal?"
"How is that legal?"
Perhaps the reason most Californians view their lions in such a different light is because anyone born and raised in the Golden State under the age of 40 has never experienced a lifestyle where the killing of mountain lions is legal. That barbaric pastime has been illegal in California since 1972 when Governor Ronald Regan emplaced the first moratorium on lion hunting. This noble act was made part of California law in 1990 when concerned citizens joined together to create MLF, and then place and pass Proposition 117 on a statewide ballot (now Fish & Game Code Reg 4800) to permanently ban the sport hunting of lions in the state.
What was once the leading state for lion slaughter (during the bounty period), California's society has now evolved an understanding that it is imperative to protect our remaining natural landscapes and the wildlife they sustain (after all, they are part of what makes California so unique and amazing). This month, the state's citizens have proven once again they are willing to take the hard steps necessary to ensure something "wild" will remain in California for generations to come.
Anyone with information about the lion poached in the Santa Monica Mountains (or any other illegal lion shooting in California) is urged to call the CalTIP hotline at 888-334-2258.
