Lobbyists tell city officials polystyrene ban could harm businesses
June 16, 2009
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 9:10 p.m. June 16, 2009
City officials agreed tonight to work alongside business owners as the City Council considers a ban on Styrofoam to-go boxes and other food containers made from eco-unfriendly polystyrene.
A proposed ban would outlaw polystyrene food packaging. Critics said the material lingers in landfills long after Styrofoam trays and cups are tossed into the trash. Polystyrene is expensive to recycle, too.
But officials also raised questions about safe alternatives to polystyrene and how the ban would impact restaurants already grappling with consumers dining out less in the down economy. Council Sustainability Committee members met tonight to discuss the proposed ban.
"You know, these packages are used to serve takeout or in restaurants, and they typically last for a few minutes in terms of any use," Councilman Joshua Schaer said. "The reality is, while we may only see them for a few minutes, the landfill and the environment sees them for tens of thousands of years."
Schaer modeled the legislation on polystyrene bans in Seattle, Portland and several California cities.
"There may be a little resistance now, but I'm sure — given the success of this in much, much larger cities than Issaquah — it seems to me that we can move in the right direction," he said.
Even Schaer acknowledged not all compostable and recyclable alternatives are as durable as polystyrene. Schaer, a lawyer, works at a firm in downtown Seattle. He recalled buying lunch at a Pakistani restaurant near his office soon after the Seattle ban went into effect.
"They were using a corn-based container that was extremely hot and the curry was starting to melt through the bottom of it," Schaer said. "That went on for a few weeks and I think people started complaining to the owner, because he's at the counter all the time. You know, they made a switch."
Schaer said the new container type survived the several-block walk to his office.
Though the draft ordinance declared the ban would be effective Jan. 1, officials said a ban — if approved — would go into effect much later. Sustainability Committee members will review the measure again next month.
Josh McDonald, government affairs coordinator for the Washington Restaurant Association, said restaurateurs would need time to prepare. He said restaurant operators are also reluctant to use compostable and recyclable alternatives because polystyrene is cheaper. In turn, restaurateurs would pass the cost along to diners with higher prices on the menu.
"Any time you take steps to increase costs, it has a negative effect on us," McDonald said. "That said, a lot of our restaurants, a lot of our folks are voluntarily moving in this direction and doing what they can and doing their part to move toward more sustainable [practices]."
City Resource Conservation Office Manager David Fujimoto said his staff planned for education and outreach efforts if the City Council bans polystyrene packaging. Fujimoto said 131 of the 800 or so businesses in Issaquah serve or sell food — 42 fast food outlets, 61 full-service restaurants and 28 stores.
Holly Chisa, Washington lobbyist for the Northwest Grocery Association, said her organization was working with more than 100 stores impacted by the Seattle ban. She said her organization was working with members to find products to meet the criteria outlined in the Seattle ordinance.
Emerald City officials outlawed polystyrene food containers last year. The polystyrene ban took effect in January; next year it will expand to include plastic containers and utensils.
Chisa said her No. 1 concern was the polystyrene trays used to package raw meat. Trays made from cardboard, and sugar and corn derivatives pose challenges. For instance, blood and other liquids seep through cardboard, while sugar and corn products could provide food sources for harmful bacteria.
"For a grocery store, the single most paramount concern we have is food safety," Chisa said.
Products like pre-packaged soups would already be exempt from the proposed ban. Schaer and other committee members did not rule out additional exemptions to the ordinance.
"For instance, if you said, 'Hey, we own this business in Issaquah and there are simply no compostable or recyclable lids that we can use that are safe for our customers,' then the city would take a look at that," Schaer said.
Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce CEO Matt Bott talked with Issaquah restaurateurs ahead of the meeting. Bott said reactions to the proposed ban were mixed. He said officials should seek input from business and restaurant owners as they rework the ordinance.
"We would just ask for some time to get the word out, to get input and then come back with something that would hopefully be of value to this community," Bott said.
Besides food safety, industry lobbyists raised concerns about whether alternative materials could hold up to hot food. Chisa echoed Schaer when she said some compostable and recyclable containers are not as tough as the real deal.
"Soup will break down that container faster than anything I've ever seen," she said.

Lobbyists? Are we in DC? Restaurants cannot just pass along the higher costs to consumers. They will pay what the market bears.

Create a campaign. Ask customers to bring to the restaurant their own take out containers. For those that do, enter them into a raffle where the winner receives a free meal, dessert etc… or take a $ off their bill. You need to make it "socially acceptable" for customers to bring in their own containers. Nearly everyone has some type of tupperware.

More learning tips for you learn french easy!
The following example is an easy way to memorize a French word.
This is called a link-word technique, a type of memorization method
that can be used to learn a language. The edge that the link-word
technique has is how a French word is linked to an English word by
using matching sounds between the words.
As you read the example, try to imagine as if you are exactly where
the scenario is happening. Retain the key words in your mind, which
are the capitalized words, and retain the significant details.
Think about it several times and let it sink in until you can
recall it without reading.
English word = butter
French word = le beurre
Think of a bar of BUTTER close to tears as a BEAR refuses to let go
of it.
Strange, but it causes your mind to remember the words. It does not
even have to be exact. Focus on the sounds created when pronouncing
French words, for it is the key to the link word technique.

Licensing is a complex subject and to be honest it's not one that I talk about much because it's a complex discipline in and of it's own and there's too much fun stuff to talk about in the client and cloud world. This document, Licensing Windows 7 for Use with Virtual Machine Technologies tells you all you need to know about licensing with Software Assurance and Windows 7 on Virtual Machines. Such nuggets as if you have Volume Licensing, an SA and the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade License (Volume Licensing Upgrade License) or Windows 7 Enterprise then you can run 4 virtual copies of Windows 7 on a server or desktop, just like this:
What's more there's a great FAQ in the document, some of which is worth calling out:
If I install and run four additional copies of the operating system, do I have to use Windows 7 Enterprise as the host operating system?
No. You may use prior versions of Windows, including Windows Vista Business and Windows XP Pro. In addition to third-party product to host the four virtual machine environments, Volume Licensing customers have some flexibility in how they can deploy Windows 7 in their organizations. As a benefit of Software Assurance coverage for Windows desktops, customers may leverage virtualization use rights. This use right allows running the software in up to four local virtual machines. While a customer's right to use Windows 7 Enterprise may survive the expiration of their Software Assurance coverage, the Virtualization Use Right does not.
Can I store my virtual machine in a .vhd file on removable storage media and open the .vhd file on another PC?
Yes, as long as both PCs are licensed for Windows VECD and are not already running more than three copies of the software.
Can other users remotely access virtual machines that I'm not using on my PC while I'm using my PC?
No. The use of the software is limited to one user at any given time.
How do I license my employee and contractor owned PCs so that they have access to my centralized desktop PC environment?
Employee- and contractor-owned devices can be licensed with Windows VECD, which enables them to remotely access your centralized desktop PC environment. Additionally, for devices with a pre-assigned Windows 7 Professional license, they may run the permitted instances locally in a virtual machine on the Windows VECD licensed device.
Go grab the document here (email it to your Licensing dude if you aren't a licensing dude) and learn about Desktop Virtualisation
A very nice chap just wrote to Rachel asking for help with a problem* I think a few other people must have experienced so often so I thought I'd share how to fix it. I just hope I've got it right from the problem description. When clicking a link in an application, like your email program, you get an error that says "Application not found" and Internet Explorer doesn't kick in to handle the link. Basically Internet Explorer isn't known to the PC as the default browser and nor is anything else so you get the error. It's simple to fix:
In Windows 7
Click Start and type default programs into the search, then select Set your default programs.
Then from the list select your broswer and click Set this program as default
Next select Set program access and computer defaults, select your browser under Choose a default web browser and click OK
That should sort things out.
If you're on XP, it's just a little different:
Then you should be fixed.

A couple of days ago I had to head into London for content creation of a different kind, being interviewed about cloud by PC Pro and IT Pro, so it was time to break out the small Evangelism bag because I didn't feel I needed the weight and capabilities of the Large bag. So what's in the small evangelism bag? Again a deep zoom is available.

Over the holidays I got into a sticky situation where I needed to use my Laptop as an access point to share a network connection. But it doesn't give you much of a chance to change IP settings so if you have some other device that uses an overlapping IP range you might need to change some settings, thankfully there's a KB on How to Change the IP Range for the Internet Connection Sharing DHCP. service. It involves editing the registry so don't forget to backup the registry first.
To change the IP address that is assigned to the host and the IP address range that is used by the DHCP service on the Connection Sharing host, use Registry Editor to change the following values. These values are located in the following folder:
On January 1st 2011 Estonia joined the single EU currency and is now getting to grips with using the Euro on a daily basis. Funny thing is with money that it affects all sorts of things, not least the layout of all those keyboards! Imagine everyone in Estonia now needs a new keyboard with the correct symbol. Also they need the correct mappings for the keyboards. Luckily we've released updates to make that happen but it's a good time to explain the manual way of changing currency.

Best Family-Friendly Hotel Chains: Loews Hotels
Let's start with the kids. As part of the Loews Loves Little Kids program, presented in partnership with Fisher-Price, all of this chain's properties keep baby swings and playpens on hand, plus welcome children under ten with a Fisher-Price gift. Each hotel's Kids Kloset is conveniently stashed with Fisher-Price toys and games geared to ages six months through six years, as well as car seats, strollers, night lights, potty chairs, baby bathtubs, and books. Some Loews properties offer additional kids' activities during summer, spring break, and holidays. At Loews Coronado Bay Resort & Spas, for example, ages four to 12 enjoy marshmallow roasts, jazz, funk and hip-hop dance lessons, dive-in movies, as well as family cooking classes.
Meanwhile, Loews' warm welcome extends to the one family member often left behind: your dog or cat. Unlike many chains, Loews accepts more than one pet and doesn't forbid four-legged pals over a certain weight, a blessing for big-dog lovers. The pet pampering starts with a bag of treats and a toy, and continues with special bedding, dog-walking areas, and, yes, room-service meals such as grilled lamb with rice for dogs or grilled salmon with rice for cats. The properties' "Did You Forget Closet" stocks litter boxes and pooper-scoopers (after all, who wants to pack those?). The newest addition to the Loews Loves Pets program is the "Puppy Pager" service. Leave your cell-phone number with staff so you can be reached in case of emergency. Many Loews' properties don't charge an additional fee for pets, although some do. Take it to the next level by getting Fido a Nashville recording studio, a two-hour guided hike with a personal trainer in Denver, or surf lessons in San Diego. The only problem now is your kids might get jealous of all that attention...

Requirements for the Concentration (33-45 units)
1. Twelve units of a foreign language appropriate to the student's designated area of interest in Asia. The advisory committee may waive the language requirement for native speakers of Japanese, Chinese or another language related to the student's course of study. In this case, students must earn a total of 45 units instead of the 33 detailed below.
2. A minimum of 33 units selected from the list of Departmental Courses, but with courses from at least three departments (in addition to language) represented. Other courses not shown on the list, but which are relevant to Asia (such as directed readings courses and Minimester courses), may be accepted with the approval of the advisory committee. Excluding language courses, no more than four courses below the 300 level may be taken for credit in this program.
3. All courses must be completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher.
4. Students may transfer up to 21 credits toward the completion of the major.
5. Language courses above the 202 level may be counted toward the 33-unit elective requirements. Students taking a second Asian language may petition to have those credits included in the 33-unit elective requirement. Normally, however, students are expected to concentrate on one Asian language.
Minor in Asian Studies:
The minor in Asian Studies is designed for students majoring in another discipline yet interested in acquiring knowledge of Asian nations and culture without completing the major program above. Students minoring in Asian Studies must compete 21 units with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher in each course. No more than three courses (9 units) may be lower-division and at least four courses (12 units) from at least three disciplines must be selected from the list of upper-division courses. Students must select courses in at least three disciplines in consultation with the Asian Studies program director.
There is no language requirement for the Asian Studies minor, however, students are encouraged to begin the study of an Asian language. One 3-unit, 100-level language course may be applied toward lower-division course units.
*Students should consult the Course descriptions section of the catalog to verify prerequisites and should try to select prerequisite courses that fulfill GenED requirements.

Investment Center
Articles: Changes on tap for 401(k)s
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently released long-awaited final regulations requiring retirement plan service providers and administrators to provide detailed information about services and fees to plan participants. In addition to minor modifications, the new regulations postponed the effective date of these rules from April 1, 2012 to July 1, 2012, to give plan sponsors more time to comply.
As a result of the new regulations, plan sponsors and participants will have more access to information about plan fees. This can help them better understand plan-related costs and make informed investment decisions.
The new final regulations were issued in conjuction with other initiatives expanding retirement plan payout options and providing greater transparency. Here's a general overview.
Background: The 401(k) plan, a type of defined contribution plan, is the most popular type of qualified plan in the country. According to the DOL, more than 72 million participants currently have invested more than $3 trillion in 401(k) plans.
Assuming certain requirements are met, participants can contribute amounts up to specific thresholds, adjusted for inflation each year. The limit for 401(k) deferrals in 2012 is $17,000 ($22,500 if you are age 55 or older).
In addition, employers may provide "matching" contributions up to a set percentage of compensation. All contributions are eligible to generate earnings on a tax-deferred basis.
In the past, 401(k) participants and plan sponsors for smaller companies often did not know the breakdown of fees for their retirement plans. Under the new rules, retirement plan providers must disclose to employees all fees associated with the retirement plans being offered to employees. Plan participants will then have to be informed about the fees, and quarterly reports must be issued.
The new rules will require an explanation of any administrative expenses and individual expenses charged to an individual's account. This information can currently be unearthed by participants and plan sponsors, but the new regulations require that it be offered regularly by the plan providers. Note that some plan providers already offer the additional information.
Related proposed regulations issued this year also include the following provisions:
- Currently, employees may have to choose between a lump sum or an annuity upon retirement. The new proposed regulations would change a federal requirement to make it easier for defined benefit pension plans to offer a combination of both.
- The regulations remove obstacles to so-called longevity annuities. These begin late in life (e.g., at age 80 or 85), so the premiums are relatively inexpensive, and retirees don't have to worry about outliving their savings.
- The regulations also clarify the rules for plan rollovers used to buy annuities and rules for spousal protection in 401(k) deferred annuities.

The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
FSG • $28 • on sale October 11, 2011
Having never read Eugenides' previous works, I was not especially excited about The Marriage Plot. The topic sounded interesting, but when I started flipping through the October fiction releases, it wasn't even the first novel I pulled from my stack. However, it was the first October novel I felt compelled to take home so I could read the whole thing.
Eliza went into some detail about the plot and themes of the book back in February, so I'll just say that what stood out to me as a reader new to Eugenides was the vivid, honest descriptions of the emotions of his characters. In a novel that is essentially delineating a love triangle, this talent serves him well.
Though at this moment she felt abused, abandoned, and ashamed of herself, Madeleine knew that she was still young, that she had her whole life ahead of her—a life in which, if she persevered, she might do something special—and that part of persevering meant getting past moments just like this one, when people made you feel small, unlovable and took away your confidence.
There is also plenty of humor.
There was something creepy about one guy's face––it was like a baby's face that had hideously aged––and it took Madeleine a full minute to realize that he'd shaved off his eyebrows.
Eugenides has said that this novel is different from his previous books, "More tightly dramatized, less fanciful." He spoke more recently about the novel with The New Yorker, who has published parts of the novel twice (only one is available online). Will you read The Marriage Plot? What are you reading this week?

Did you see the headlines last week that there's no proof mermaids (a.k.a. aquatic humanoids) ever existed? This rather shocking news came from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – the folks who monitor fairly important things such as hurricanes. Since they are experts in everything to do with the ocean, we'll have to take their word for it.
This may come as a bit of a blow to some, but we don't think you should break the bad news to your kids or anyone else who believes in mermaids and other mythical creatures. In fact, why not encourage your little ones to play like mermaids and get comfortable in the water.
Contrary to popular belief, kids aren't born swimmers. It's a skill they need to learn and practice in a safe and controlled environment such as a Red Cross swim program. Unlike sea creatures, kids don't instinctively learn to swim from being thrown in the water!
While we're debunking myths, knowing how to swim isn't a safeguard against drowning incidents. Children can be impulsive and need active adult supervision when around pools, lakes, rivers and at the beach.
And don't forget to outfit your little mermaid with appropriate gear including a lifejacket.

When getting to know the capital city of Peru, head straight to the neighborhood of Miraflores, for a scenic introduction to Lima's charms. Taking cues from its name, Miraflores is peppered with flowerbeds and grassy parks, just calling for you to enjoy it's lush greenery. From jagged cliffs overlooking the Pacific and the centrally located Kennedy Park, to some dazzling gems in Peruvian cuisine, Miraflores offers the perfect beginning to your Limanian adventure.
- Wander along the boardwalk
With giant, jagged cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the boardwalk through Miraflores is the perfect way to take in Lima's ocean views. Wander towards the city's lighthouse and join in with locals for a yoga class or a lesson in Capoeira, a Brazilian mixture of martial arts and dance. Feeling lazy? Settle down in the grass for a picnic and some people watching. You may catch a glimpse of some local tightrope walkers practicing their skills! As the sun sets, grab your loved one and follow the path to the Parque de' Amour, as you watch the sky change colors surrounded by brilliant mosaic patterns.
- Shop and snack in Kennedy Park
Decidedly the most notable landmark in Miraflores, Kennedy Park is a right in the center of the shopping and restaurant district. Visit on a weekend, when the streets are roped off for pedestrians and bikers, and enjoy the local markets full of traditional Peruvian crafts. As you work up an appetite sifting through alpaca scarves and handmade jewelry, go on your own personal food tour and taste the sweets offered from the surrounding food carts. Warm churros and picarones topped with honey are among the highlights.
- Hang glide over the cliffs of Miraflores
Why see the sights of Lima from the ground, when you can enjoy them from the sky? Get strapped into a hang glider (with a guide safely beside you!) and take a running plunge off the cliffs. For fifteen thrilling minutes, you can gaze at the city scene below you, taste the salty ocean spray, and sail through the soft breezy skies of Miraflores.
- Learn to surf in the Pacific Ocean
The perfect spot for novice surfers, Miraflores's pebbly beach offers gentle waves, and an unorthodox method to practice your Spanish. Don't be afraid to bargain with the surf shacks and get a package deal for the day, complete with wetsuit, water shoes, and instructions. Paddle out with the local guides and spend the afternoon perfecting your skills. Just make sure to tread carefully when exiting the water; the rocky beach makes a literal slippery slope.
- Try the local dishes
With more traditional dishes than days in a month, dining in Peru is an exciting experience day after day. Head to famed chef Gaston Acurio's reasonably priced restaurant Tanta, for some traditional bites like Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina. Choose one of the mixed fruit juices on the menu, or create your own! Don't forget to end your meal with a treat from their famed dessert cart.

I usually do not bother myself with the shallow lifestyles of "celebrities", but there is something about the Tiger Woods divorce that irks me a little bit. We all know the story by now of how he cheated on his wife ( a very rare occurrence in the U.S.!). We also know about the charade of rehab, remorse and public spanking. What no one has told us is how this all came to be. It is a strong part of the media-driven culture in the U.S. to abandon rational thinking whenever one of these stories break out and focus on the superficial.
Does it look a little strange that the culmination of this exposed sexual escapades of Tiger Woods is a divorce? What ever happened to "For better, For worse? Sure Tiger Woods screwed up by "sleeping" with other women but why the sudden rush to divorce by Ms. Nordegren? Is it a case of taking your money while you can before other issues crop up?
It could be that she is striking while the iron is hot, given the fact that Tiger set himself up. It would be interesting to hear the proceedings:
Husband: "Your honor, I had to because I wasn't getting none at home";
Wife: "Your honor, that's not true, we have babies, so he was getting some"
Judge: "Yeah, but how often, once a day, a week, or a month?
Husband (murmuring): "How about once a year you frigid ****"
What? Why do we not ever ask what the home front has to do with all that? Is it safe to ask that perhaps, the missus was not doing very well in that department? It's not just about making babies, or being beautiful you know. There surely was something missing at home, and having a wife who is a cold fish can make a guy go astray. I am just saying.
And the proof is the speed at which she is supposedly pursuing his money through divorce. If all women who had their husbands cheat on them decided to file for divorce, only about 1 percent of men would be married. And that one percent is because they have their wives' consent to "fool" around. It is possible that Ms. Nordegren is caving in to the crafty advise of friends who cannot wait to get their hands on a handsome guy with potential for a bus load of cash?
I believe she is doing the right thing only if the love was not there in the first place and she was aiming for the money from the very onset. Certainly, she has been around these "celebrities" long enough to know what happens in that circle, yet she went in anyway.
Come on! At the very first sign of trouble in a marriage, you bail? There is no way any sane person will believe that she did not know what was going on. Unless she was giving him enough rope to hang his cheating ass with. If she says she did not, then we have to wonder.
So my question is, with the reported big bucks she will be getting (from an initial mind-boggling $850 Million to $100 Million), is she the biggest Gold Digger of all time? All eyes will be on her now to see how long she holds it together.
As for Tiger, he is probably relieved to be rid of the burden of having to "sneak around".

On Sept. 20, I read that the other satin slipper had fallen in Vatican City and that the Holy Father revealed how compassionately he can stick both his feet of clay into another's muddy shoes and track along with them as best he can.
Pope Francis pointed out to the faithful that the Catholic Church's moral structure one Earth might "fall like a house of cards" if it doesn't balance its divisive rules about abortion, gays and contraception with the greater need to make it a merciful, more welcoming place of worship for all. This follows the pope's July comment on gays when he said: "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?"
This pulls the rug from no one if it is a prayer rug on which they kneel in search of being more loving in the way they serve those they live with as spouse, child, friend, neighbor, passing stranger and for servants within the Church to listen to what the pontiff lamented, "The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules. The most important thing is the first proclamation: 'Jesus Christ has saved you. And the ministers of the church must be ministers of mercy above all.' "

Utah Jazz: Magic miss free throws and Jazz escape with 97-93 win
Orlando, Fla • There was no Mo, and the Jazz nearly ran out of mojo. But Orlando center Gustavo Ayon missed a pair of free throws with 2.4 seconds left that could have forced overtime and the Jazz escaped with a 97-93 win after trailing by as many as 16 points in the first half.
The victory was good tonic for the Jazz, who played without point guard Mo Williams. Williams is out indefinitely with a right thumb injury he suffered Saturday in Miami.
The Jazz won for just the second time in their last six games, and improved their road record to 6-12. They split the four games on this annual pre-Christmas road trip, earning wins against the Magic and Brooklyn earlier in the week.
Paul Millsap led six Jazz players in double figures with 18 points. Gordon Hayward added 17 off the bench, while Alec Burks, in his most significant time of the season, added 8.
After J.J. Redick made a jumper to put the Magic up 87-85 with 3:30 left in the game, Jamaal Tinsley and Randy Foye made back-to-back 3s to give the Jazz a 91-87 lead.
The Jazz trailed by as much as 16 in the first half, but closed the second quarter on a 23-8 run to trail just 47-46 at halftime.
Randy Foye came up with back-to-back bdefensive plays in the final minute and a half, one a strip on the baseline, the other a block on Nick Vucevic.
The Jazz trailed by as many as 9 points in the third quarter after taking hteir first lead at 50-49, but were bailed out once again by a bench unit led by Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks.

Unique V-Day
Great expectations. Every Valentine's Day starts with them…a guaranteed recipe for disaster. Sometimes planning (or expecting your guy to plan) the perfect date is just too much pressure! But you plan anyway and come up with the typical fancy dinner date. Then suddenly you are mid-date at a cheesy restaurant with a bouquet of roses thinking, "Who are we?!" This year, take the cheese out of the equation and plan something unique and oh-so-you.
The necessary factors for a fun Valentine's Day date: make it fun, easy, and interactive. Lucky for you, we have put together some fantastic options that will have you eager instead of nervous to plan that date!
Live Music: Find a local pub or bar that has various musicians playing. If you want to splurge, look for a popular concert in your area. Grooving along to the music together will guarantee a good time.
Something Active: Take a long bike ride together, go rock climbing, or take a hike. Your endorphins will spike and you will both be ready for a post-workout workout (if you know what we mean).
Comedy Show: Scope out your nearest comedy club and book a table stat! Nothing says good times like a few cocktails and laughing so hard your stomach hurts.
Be a Tourist: Go to all those must-see spots you always wanted to visit in your city, but never actually did. Whether visiting a museum, a historic landmark, or hot spots around town, any interesting location will spark great conversation.
Learn Something New: Take a cooking class, a beer brewing course, or even a pottery class (Ghost re-enactment anyone?). Putting your focus on the task at hand while sharing a new experience will definitely bring you closer together.

Good luck to him but Talmacsi is only ever going to be a 'team Gabor' player and not an overall team player, it was a big drawback with prospective employers..nobody believed Gabor had anyone but himself to promote after KTM entrusted him into aiding Kallio to win the '05 125cc title..and Kallio would have won it on points if he'd moved over in the infamous Qatar last lap overtake. He had massive sponsor support that went straight to his head and 'he behaved like a champion of champions, telling us what we could and could not use his likeness for' (in advertising ) said none other than multi world champion Martinez Aspar..he left 250 convinced he was better placed on an 800cc Honda but still couldn't buy results in motogp..his 'ambition overtook his talent' as Stoner would say lol

Mike Veeck is genetically predisposed to publicity stunts. His father was major league baseball owner Bill Veeck, who sent 3-foot-7 Eddie Gaedel to the plate when he owned the St. Louis Browns and used Max Patkin, the "Clown Prince of Baseball," as a coach. As the front-and-center owner of the St. Paul Saints, Veeck also has had a flair for promotion.
With the Saints beginning their 20th season on Thursday, May 17, it seemed like a good time to check in with Veeck.
BS: Does it seem like the Saints have been around for 20 years?
MV: It doesn't seem possible. I think back to when I first got into town and how frightened I was, even though I didn't try to let on. It's astounding. There's something wonderful here.
BS: What is the greatest moment in Saints history?
MV: Oh, the first year. When we won (the Northern League championship) that first year and we were all down on the field. We were just frightened about surviving. The second thing is probably the number of players we sent on (to the major leagues. Former Twins general manager Andy) MacPhail and I had a bet that somebody from the University of Minnesota would make it before someone from the Saints.
BS: What was the bet?
MV: Dinner at Murray's. Of course, Andy could pay with coupons, because if you appeared on the radio you got a Silver Butter Knife Steak (from Murray's restaurant).
BS: What was the best promotion in team history?
MV: I still think the best promotion in history was the mimes. People hated them. We replaced instant replay with the mimes. I think that was the sweetest one.
BS: The worst promotion?
MV: The worst one was the Coneheads. They had that terrible movie. But everybody loved it.
BS: If everybody loved it, why was it the worst?
MV: It didn't have any soul. It didn't have any substance to it. At least the mimes were kind of a funny idea. There have just been so many wonderful ones. We did the bobblefoot. Everybody else had the bobblehead. It's been fun.
BS: Was there a promotion you wanted to pull off but never did?
MV: I always wanted to do something with Tiger Woods, but I was never able to figure out how to frame it so it didn't sound smarmy. When Morley Safer (of "60 Minutes") came out here, he couldn't get over the mortuary sign that said, "Drive safely. We can wait." I always felt there was a promotion there. Tiger made the cutting room floor. I didn't know how to do it without it looking mean-spirited. That's what always guided us: Don't make it look mean-spirited. That's the only restriction we have.
BS: When did that restriction backfire?
MV: The Randy Moss Hood Ornament Night (after the former Vikings wide receiver was accused of bumping a traffic agent with his vehicle). I always thought celebrating the 20 years of the Love Boat was firmly tongue-in-cheek. (That was done after the Vikings' infamous Love Boat incident.) We didn't get as many calls on that one we as did for the Randy Moss one. There always are those moments where you're walking that line.
BS: Favorite mascot name of all time? (The Saints always have had a pig as a mascot.)
MV: I was always partial to Hammy Davis Jr. I always thought that one worked. And Kevin Bacon wasn't bad. They've gotten better. I would have told you 15 years ago Hamlet was great. But these kids today have blown past me. Now we have contests (to name the mascot).
BS: Which pig had the most charisma?
MV: No question about that, the second year, St. Paula. It's the only year we had a female pig. Female pigs are smarter, and she was opinionated. We weren't going to tell her what to do. We tried. It was pointless. We've never had a female mascot since.
BS: Why a pig for a mascot?
MV: I was staying (at a hotel) in St. Paul and got up in the middle of the night for a smoke, and there's a little plaque by the river and it said (something like), "This was the site of where Pig's Eye founded the outpost that became St. Paul." I called my wife and said, "They used to call St. Paul Pig's Eye." Then I saw Pig's Eye beer. We put the saddle bags (on the pig) with the beer. I said (to the Pig's Eye brewery officials) I'd guarantee a spot in Sports Illustrated or you don't have to pay. And it happened. It got in Sports Illustrated. I went to a Twins game a few weeks ago, and it makes you feel good, all these gags they run nowadays between innings. I like to think of (the Saints) as the petri dish of minor league baseball.
BS: How's the hunt for a new stadium coming?
MV: I don't know. The city seems cool about it, so I guess if they're cool, I should be. I love to score a ballgame. I would never take a scorecard with me to the (state) Legislature. The city said things worked out well. I'm going to take their word for it. (Saints co-owner and actor) Bill Murray is going to call the governor from Paris (on Thursday) and thank him for all his help.
BS: What are the chances the Saints will be around another 20 years?
MV: I think it's very good, and I'll tell you why: People say all the time, "What happens if hell freezes over tomorrow and the Saints are gone?" It's 2 o'clock now. (If the Saints disbanded) by 3 o'clock, you'd have 10 clubs that want to move here. St. Paul never will be without a ballclub again. I think there always will be a St. Paul Saints. I'd want it to be the St. Paul Saints I'm affiliated with, because I've enjoyed it so much.

Youth Parade by Michael Mararian offers controversial imageryJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 06 Jan 2010
Corey Helford Gallery launches into 2010 with Youth Parade, the highly-anticipated new body of work by New York-based artist Michael Mararian. Returning to the gallery for his second solo exhibition, Mararian will unveil one of the gallery's most significant exhibitions to date.
Youth Parade challenges audiences, in both concept and context, with its controversial imagery and dark subject matter.
Mararian is known for transforming traditionally cheerful images and concepts into frightening, yet humorous, narratives. Often focusing on children as the last bastion of innocence, his work explores the dark humor behind every-day social and psychological issues.
For Youth Parade, Mararian pushes new boundaries with his work, describing the exhibition as "a wry examination of the societal and familial pressures put on the children of today". The artist skillfully captures a broad spectrum of childhood pressures from the media's over exposure of violent imagery and the idolization of celebrities to the sexualization of childhood and the corporate branding of American youth.
A turning point technically as well, the artist's new body of work is larger and more photorealistic than before. Mararian also introduces the use of acrylic paint to his ink-on-paper works, juxtaposing vivid bursts of color against gunmetal grey tones.
Open to the public, the reception is set for Saturday, January 16, and the show will be on view until February 6, 2010.
About Michael Mararian
Michael Mararian is a graduate of the Art and Theater program at the University of Bridgeport as well as having studied briefly at the Arts Student's League in New York City. His work has previously been shown at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, Galerie D'Art Yves Laroche in Montreal, McCaig-Welles Gallery in New York City and most recently at the Antonia Von Fraunberg Gallery in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Originally from Andover, Massachusetts, Michael currently resides and practices his art in Buffalo, New York. He attributes his inspiration to his wife Elizabeth and their (now three) cats, 99, Mavis and Charlotte.

Zille tells ANC MPLs to keep upComment on this story
ANC members in the Western Cape legislature have been told to keep pace with programmes and policy changes introduced by their national ministers.
This comes after ANC MPL Khaya Magaxa quizzed Premier Helen Zille about the provincial government's strategy to spend 70 percent of the Western Cape's Human Settlements budget on basic service and informal settlement upgrades, and 30 percent on low-cost houses.
Magaxa said it was wrong to spend most of the budget, which came largely from the national government specifically for houses, on toilets and taps.
He asked Zille whether she agreed it was wrong and whether she would do anything about it.
Zille responded that incremental housing and basic services first, and then houses, was what national Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale had instructed provinces to do.
She said Sexwale had told her at a meeting this week that building thousands of low-cost houses every year was unsustainable.
"It is time the ANC kept pace with their own minister's programme," Zille said. "In fact, he (Sexwale) said we will eventually have to phase out free housing completely."
Zille said the Western Cape government was carrying out what Sexwale had requested.
ANC provincial secretary Songezo Mjongile described the strategy to upgrade informal settlements and provide basic services as a "a backwards plan". "People need houses," he said.
"The DA is turning informal settlements into ghettos."
There are over 500 000 names on the province's housing waiting list.
Human Settlements MEC Bonginkosi Madikizela said it would take about 30 years to work through it.

Gender Relations in Taming of the Shrew
Although women and men are part of the same race and are almost identical, throughout history they have had different and specific roles.
Generally men have the more powerful and respectful roles, while women have the more subservient ones. William Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew displays overdramatic actions and stereotypical roles for females and males; however gives a great sense of gender expectations and courtship customs during Elizabethan England.
The basic gender expectation during Elizabethan England is women are subordinate to men, and not just to men but in nature. Bianca is a perfect example of this for she not only listens and obeys subjectively, but anticipates her directive duties. For either she knows what is expected of her or is so one-minded because women inferiority is so engrained in her, she unconsciously acts obedient. That is how Elizabethan men want their woman to be like. Shakespeare represents it, for Bianca has many suitors anxious for her. Bianca is pretty and wealth, therefore she could probably get anything she desires; however, she remains humble. She acts as if servitude is one of the Ten Commandments. Although Katherine's actions are shrewish, they show individualism and a strong sense of being, perfect characteristics for a man. Petruchio actually has the exact same characteristics that Katherine has in the beginning and is a respected man with a loyal servant. If Taming of the Shrew is set during today's time, there won't be an inadvertent male sense to tame Katherine. Simply no one would be attracted to her. However, since it is in the Elizabethan era men are expected to keep women in submissive servitude to themselves and society. As Petruchio says, "For I am born to tame you, Kate/ And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate/ Conformable as other household Kates." (Shakespeare II. i. 291-293) it is his born right to make her into other household Kates. As if there is only one right way a women should behave. Petruchio says "household" implying women in nature are domestic and property like, clearly making them inanimate and insensitive objects. Also he refers to Katherine as Kate in his speech because she tells him to call her Katherine. Petruchio doesn't like the fact a women is telling him what to do, so he crumbles up her wish and throws it in her face. This is just one of many demeaning acts by Petruchio aimed at Katherine's mystique. After public ridicule, derogatory name calling, and senseless dalliance, Katherine falls in line with the Elizabethan expectations. She comes to the time's senses and agrees "A woman moved is like a fountain troubled,/ Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty,/ And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty/ Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it." (Shakespeare V.ii. 158-161). This first and fore most reveals that men get what they want, and women serve it to them on a golden platter. For Petruchio wants Katherine to be submissive, and Katherine eventually complies. Katherine believes a rebellious or a woman contrary to docile ness, becomes useless. The active woman becomes foul water no one can use, not that men don't want to have anything to do with that sort of woman, but that they can't. Men can't work the same way and be successful if women didn't do what they do- be compliant to the man's every need and watch the house. Being foul is the most selfish act, because no one can use the woman. A contaminated woman disrupts society in Elizabethan England.
Taming of the Shrew reveals vast differences between courtship costumes in Elizabethan England and modern times. In Elizabethan England there isn't much dating. Women and men don't usually go on dates or try to flirt before marriage. There aren't any cute gestures thrown back and forth between the couple to show there is a connection between them. In both Katherine and Petruchio's, and Bianca and Lucentio's case they don't date or flirt before marriage. In fact it is quite the opposite; Petruchio is coarse with Katherine when they first meet. He insists on calling her Kate when she tells him to call her Katherine. Marriage in Elizabethan England is like a business contract; to attain a partner to help maintain the household or supply money. That's why Petruchio becomes attracted to Katherine, he says "One rich enough to be Petruchio's wife/ Be she as foul as was Florentius' love/ As old as Sibyl, and as curst and shrewd/ As Socrates' Xanthippe, or a worse,/ she moves me not" (Shakespeare I.ii. 68-73). Meaning he doesn't care about a woman's personality or attributes, only how wealthy she is. Life in Elizabethan England is more rigorous the demanding than spending time finding love. Thus marriage isn't about love back then, rather a way to securer land and wealth. That's why a dowry is present in marriages then and not now-a-days. Even if there is a connection between two people, as in Bianca and Lucentio's case, it's not a true love for each other's inner being. For Lucentio says "Tranio, I saw her coral lips to move,/ And with her breath she did perfume the air./ Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her." (Shakespeare I..i. 76-78) which is just describing Bianca's physical charms. The way he describes her is cliché and unrealistic because he compares her to attainable things.
In conclusion, the society in Elizabethan England lends itself to sustain shallow and impersonal gender relations. Taming of the Shrew really incorporates gender expectations and courtship customs of Elizabethan England. Revealing how far modern society has progressed.
