Political Hay
The Spending Split
The Obama Watch
Good Morning, Suckers
McCain Lite, Cont'd
Daniel Larison says he's not sure why I think it's at all remarkable that Obama debated most foreign-policy issues on Republican terms last night. Perhaps I gave too much peronal credit to McCain, but I do think there is a very clear pattern that was evident in last night's debate: Republicans "me too" Democrats on domestic policy because they think they have to politically; Democrats feel the same need to seem like watered-down Republicans on national security.
McCain won; Obama comes in second!
McCain just had to show that his experience mattered. He was successful in doing so. Going into this debate, undecideds likely wondered: Is Obama's experience an issue? Is McCain too old? Who will have a sensible foreign policy? What about domestic policy/economics?
First question, yes, it was, especially now that Kissinger basically stated the Obama has mischaracterized his views.
Second question, McCain seemed deft, quick-thinking, and wise. You know, like how we should probably look at older people. He turned age into an asset tonight.
Third question, McCain by a wash -- Obama suggested an aggressive-ish foreign policy and echoed McCain on a surprising number of issues. But, rhetorically speaking, it's hard for anyone to argue with someone who thinks anything short of victory is defeat. You have to come up with a number of thoughtful arguments that convinces that the optimal case is a pullout. Obama's "We'll save money, though!" point fell completely flat.
McCain Won
Overall, Obama didn't embarrass himself -- though he had better hope that bracelet gaffe isn't the takeaway, because that is much worse than John Kerry's global test. If I were an Obama partisan, I would be happy with the way my candidate acquitted himself on issues that aren't his strength and that he looked non-scary and presidential.
That said, I thought this was John McCain's night. I say this as someone who thinks McCain is wrong on most of the major foreign policy issues of our time, including Iraq. McCain simply pinned Obama's ears back during the foreign policy and military exchanges. I don't agree that his nonsensical campaign suspension and bailout participation aided this in any significant way. But I haven't seen an old Washington hand mop up the floor with a smarmy, inexperienced but glib pol like this since Cheney kicked Edwards's posterior in the 2004 vice presidential debate. Obama was on the defensive most of the time, and his "not true" interruptions were mostly ineffectual.
McCain's lack of interest in economics and monomanical focus on earmarks is putting him at a real disadvantage. He cannot rebut Obama's statist arguments by offering a mushier, less coherent version of the same.
Re: Shorter President Bush
It is amazing to behold the anti-government radicalism of this president. Except for Medicare Part D. And No Child Left Behind. And earmarks. And all discretionary spending in general. And the $700 billion socialization, uh, bailout program. And the plan to create a democratic Middle East. And the burden on means-tested government programs imposed by amnesty. And regulations. Well, at least we'll have tax cuts for a couple more years. Tax cuts neither of our major presidential candidates voted for. Woo-hah!

Saturday was an in-between day weather-wise with a distinct frontal boundary separating Oregon and Washington. Snow fell early in the Bellingham area and in the San Juan Islands and Whidbey Island. Temperatures warmed by afternoon, and it was a chilly rain down to Olympia.
There's a threat of snow in the Western Washington lowlands through early Monday but will not include Clark County. Three to 5 inches could fall in the north interior and up to 2 inches on the higher hills in the Seattle area. No snow was expected south of Tacoma. Remember the usual rule: If it snows in Seattle, Portland/Vancouver doesn't get any, and vice versa.
We do see some showers moving in tonight and Monday but no snow. Cold air will filter into the Columbia Basin and down the Columbia River Gorge. That may be one area that gets a wintry mix. But as of this writing that is as close as it comes.
Saturday afternoon one could see the line between the milder air mass and the cold air mass at 4 p.m. with Ellensburg in the 30s with light snow and Yakima, a few miles down the road enjoying the mid-40s.
Milder Pacific air will keep the modified arctic air from covering us and bring periods of much-needed moisture to California off and on. Ours is a broad-brush type of forecast: partly to mostly cloudy with a chance of rain all week with heaviest amounts tonight and Monday. We stay in the 40s for highs and slowly rise back into the 50s as the week wears on.
Skies cleared off just enough Friday night for a good freeze early Saturday. Most areas were in the 20s with frost. The dense fog stayed at bay.
Spring starts for us weather and climate folks March 1. Can hardly wait.

Using MS Word 2010, I need to print a 'peak' symbol, which is a circumflex accent on top of any letter (not only vowels), something like this :
Is there a way to do it without using the equation editor ?
Using MS Word 2010, I need to print a 'peak' symbol, which is a circumflex accent on top of any letter (not only vowels), something like this :
Is there a way to do it without using the equation editor ?
Type first the letter, then type U+302 and hit Alt X (i.e. press X while keeping the Alt key pressed down). The part U+ may be omitted if the letter is not in the range A–F or X.
This will put U+0302 COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT after the letter. In rendering, it will appear as a character placed above the preceding character, something like this (I'm assuming your browser can deal with this): v̂.
Word 2007 can handle such situations mostly OK, selecting the placement of the circumflex according to the height of the base letter. I expect Word 2010 to do even better. But there are still potential problems. Perhaps most importantly, you should make sure that the font you are using contains U+0302. Support is rather wide, but not universal, see http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/302/fontsupport.htm
For example, if your text font is Palatino Linotype, the results will be very bad: since the font does not contain U+0302, Word will pick it up from a different font, and both the shape and the placement of the circumflex can be all wrong then.
Even for some non-vowel characters, a "precombined" character with the circumflex accent is available. For example, instead of ŝ (s followed by U+0302), you can enter U+15D Alt X and get ŝ (= U+015D). In modern versions of Word, the appearance is normally the same as with the one using U+0302, but the renderings might work, so it is probably safest to use U+0302 for all combinations, if you cannot use precombined characters for all combinations that you need.
You can just press the key for the symbol (the location depends on your keyboard layout) and then i, the symbol will be automatically inserted on top of the letter.

Surprise: UAW would be against merger
In an announcement that should be anything but shocking to anyone who even remotely follows the auto industry, United Auto Workers head Ron Gettelfinger says he and the UAW would be against any merger between automakers that would reduce either company's workforce. Considering that the Union's main job as of late has been safeguarding the jobs of its members, we would expect nothing less than an all-out war between Gettelfinger and the automakers involved, if such a merger were to take place, as much of the potential money savings would undoubtedly be in duplicate workforce reductions. In any case, Gettelfinger says that the UAW has not officially been contacted by either party regarding anything of the sort, lending further credence to the notion that any talks that are currently taking place are very much in the early stages.

Mountaire Corp.
Mountaire Corp., based in North Little Rock, is a leading supplier of private-label chicken and value-added chicken products to grocery stores and food service customers worldwide.
The company's chicken production business (Mountaire Farms) maintains breeding and chicken-processing facilities in Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina, and the company sells its products under names such as Black Label (food service market), Blue Label (wholesale) and Bo-San Roasters (Asian market in the U.S.).
Mountaire Grain and Feed produces poultry feeds and operates grain elevators for corn, soybeans, wheat and barley.
Mountaire was founded in 1971, but the company's roots in the feed business date back to Arkansas in 1914 with the Hayes Grain and Commission Company, a commercial feed business. In 1931, the business became known as Cameron Feed Mills and in 1964, in partnership with local poultry producers, incorporated into Mountaire Poultry Inc. in 1964. In 1971, the companies became known as Mountaire Corp.
In 2011, Mountaire said its Mountaire Farms company would expand the processing facilities of its new affiliate, the Seaford Milling Co., in Selbyville and Millsboro, Del. The company said the expansion would increase the need for area poultry growers to support an additional 400,000 birds per week.
The company reported 2010 revenue of $1.3 billion and now employs more than 5,600 employees throughout the U.S.

(written from a Production point of view)
- From the book jacket
- Born in the twilight years of Vulcan's violent and passionate past, those who declared themselves Rihannsu chose to reign free in the unknown reaches of space rather than to serve under the new tyranny of logic. Having severed themselves from their homeworld, they survived the perilous voyage across the stars to wash ashore on a distant planet, there to begin the civilization that would one day flower into the Romulan Star Empire.
- Now, after millennia of wars and conquests, that empire is decaying from within, surrendering its noble heritage to reckless ambition, abandoning honor for kidnapping and murder. The corruption is so great that the Rihannsu's finest military officer – Commander Ael t'Rllaillieu of the warbird Bloodwing – believes she can save her people only by joining forces with her greatest enemy: Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise™.
- Meanwhile, on the Romulan homeworld, a Federation deep-cover agent has been posing as a household servant named Arrhae i-Khellian – but her operation takes a strange turn when a captured Starfleet officer is brought to her home...
- The lives of Ael, Arrhae, and the crew of the Enterprise come together in these astonishing adventures – originally published in four volumes: My Enemy, My Ally; The Romulan Way; Swordhunt; and Honor Blade – that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the Romulans.

Beyer, Barnhart Are Both Winners
Byline: TIM CHRISTIE The Register-Guard
In a battle of redistricted incumbents, Rep. Phil Barnhart defeated Rep. Al King in Tuesday's Democratic primary for the District 11 House seat.
In District 12, Elizabeth Terry Beyer beat Rick Henson in the Democratic primary to get one step closer to winning a term to the House seat she was appointed to last November. Beyer had 56 percent of the vote to Henson's 44 percent in late returns.
In the District 7 Republican primary, Rep. Jeff Kruse was leading Rep. Cedric Hayden, 53 percent to 47 percent, in a race that pitted two legislative veterans with political bases split along county lines.
And in District 14, Eugene City Councilor Pat Farr had 83 percent of the vote in the Republican House primary over Damon Wilson, who withdrew from the race early on and endorsed Farr.
Barnhart, of south Eugene, and King, of Mohawk Valley, are two incumbents who found themselves facing off when redistricting put them both in District 11, a horseshoe-shaped district that takes in part of south Eugene, wraps around the city of Springfield and pushes north into Linn County. It includes Pleasant Hill, Creswell and Coburg, but not Cottage Grove or Oakridge.
Barnhart was leading King by 64 percent to 36 percent. Barnhart captured a majority of the vote both in Lane and Linn counties.
About 20 percent of voters in District 11 live in Linn County. He said that showed he had support from city and country voters. "The big split between urban and rural voters is gone," he said.
The results show Oregon voters want lawmakers to "solve the problem of Measure 5," a property tax relief measure that took $1 billion out of state budgets, and to figure out a way to pay for education and health care.
King said he was disappointed and said his candidacy was hurt by direct mail "hit pieces" sent by Barnhart's campaign. "I think they made a big difference in the race, and that's not my style," he said. "I'm disappointed but life goes on."
In the November general election, Barnhart will face political newcomer Robert Bolanos of Creswell, who was unopposed in the Republican primary. …

Do you remember when your parents or teachers told you "when you grow up, you can be whatever you want to be?" Well, last I checked, I am not a professional hockey player and am pretty convinced that I won't become one anytime soon. Instead, I have been a jack of all trades working in at least eight different vertical markets in the last 20 years. The good news however, is that at 43, I am "grown up" and I know I want to be an entrepreneur. In actuality, I think I have always been an entrepreneur. I just hadn't found the right concept to throw my full passion behind. After starting my first company, The CoLab Group, in 2015, I decided to start my second company after my wife and I rode on one of Indianapolis' local pedal pubs last summer. And with that ride, The Pint Cycle idea was formed.
Fast forward to today, The Pint Cycle is on its way to becoming a reality in Fishers, Indiana. After working closely with the City of Fishers, The Pint Cycle is targeting a soft launch in June 2016. The bike itself is a sixteen-person pedal powered bicycle that will tour the City Center of Fishers, Indiana, with fixed stops at local breweries, bars and restaurants. A tour stop agreement has already been established with Four Day Ray Brewing, Brixx Pizza and Nickel Plate Bar & Grill. Tours can accommodate 8-16 people and has one handicap accessible seat as well. Standard tours are two hours in duration and can be booked starting in August Monday-Sunday starting at 12 p.m. with the last available tour starting at 8 p.m. In addition, a number of specialized tours will be available starting in June including Tuesday Night Summer Concert Series, Friday Amp After Dark Concert Series, Saturday Mimosa and Farmers Market, Wine Wednesday and others as well. All tours are open to anyone 21 years or older, and are BYOB (beer and wine only). Standard tours will stop three times for 20-25 minutes at each tour stop allowing passengers to sample some of Fishers' unique local establishments and their foods and beverages, while Specialized tours will have greater flexibility with stop locations and durations.
Specialized tours booked Monday- Thursday will be $315 and tours booked Friday- Sunday will be $415. Specialized tours fees will vary by event, but will be similar to Standard Tour pricing. All tour participants will receive a complimentary The Pint Cycle 16 oz. reusable cup to keep during and after their tour. The Pint Cycle is great for corporate team building events, bachelorette/bachelor parties, fun with friends, fans of beer and/or wine, and any other social events. Group and individual signups, along with limited edition merchandise, will be available online.
In addition to all the excitement that comes with launching a new venture, we are also excited about identifying a nonprofit partner each year within Hamilton County. Our goal is to be able to work collaboratively with an area nonprofit organization to help generate revenue and awareness for their mission. Please feel free to contact us if your organization is interested in learning more about this partnership opportunity.
Needless to say, The Pint Cycle is excited to become part of the local community and provide an entertainment concept that is not typically found in other suburban markets across the country. But that is what makes Hamilton County a unique and desirable place to live, work and play. We look forward to seeing you on The Pint Cycle this summer and hearing what you want to be when you grow up.

We all know there's a ton to do with the family in Hamilton County, that's for sure, but what about the fur babies in your life? Your four legged friends probably want to be out in this glori-ous spring weather just as much as you do. Have no fear: my dog, Zero, is here! He checked out Hamilton County's coolest off leash parks and trails, and he's ready to dog-dish.
If your pup is the free-spirited type, and looking for some off-leash fun, the following four spots are sure to please.
First, head over to Clay Terrace's Tom Wood Subaru dog park. While a bit on the smaller side, this park is open to the public and offers benches for worn-out owners and doggie games like "king of the hill.? After playing make sure you stop by Moochie & Co to pick up some treats.
While in Carmel, check out Club Canine (457 3rd Ave. SW). With over 5,000 square feet of playing space and "Yappy Hour" for pet own-ers twice a month, on the first and third Friday of each month from 6:30 - 8 p.m.. This indoor play park is sure to excite you and your fur ball.
And just to solidify Carmel's reputation as the dog park capital of Hamilton County, check out Central Bark Park (1427 E. 116th Street). This members only club from Carmel Clay Parks is sort of the country club of dog parks, requiring a few steps before membership can be approved. But its well worth the effort as this park sports the lushest grass and coolest trails you can imagine.
Next, head to Pierson Bark Park (11787 E 131st St). For a small fee you and your dog can wander 4 acres of brick paths with water fountains and a pond to chase ducks around! It has the usual amenities like a drinking station and a "small dog" area, but boasts a wash area outside after your little buddy gets a little muddy.
If your pup is more like mine, and wants to remain by your side, hit the trails instead. Here are my top 3 picks.
First, check out the trails at Ritchey Wood Nature Preserve (10410 Hague Road). This place is loaded with over 2 miles of great trails to explore and offers a chance to see Fishers, Indiana at it's finest.
One of my other favorite spots has us heading back to Carmel to visit Cool Creek Park (2000 E 151st St.). The flagship park of Hamilton County Parks & Recreation, offers some of the most amazing trails, not only in Hamilton County, but in Indiana! Yes, your puppy can make a splash in the cool creeks, it's not just a clever name!
My personal favorite is the beautiful 150 acre Forest Park in Noblesville (71 Cicero Rd). You can walk your pooch down The River Greenway Trail, which runs straight through the park. If you're unfamiliar, it starts at Potter's Bridge and runs all the way to the Hamilton County Courthouse. However, feel free to let your little guy's inner hound sniff around! There is so much to see here.
I hope you and your pup enjoy the recommendations I have. Make sure to share your adventures with us at @VisitHamiltonCo by tagging #VisitHC or #RecHC.

Hamilton County has a lot to offer by way of outdoor activities. Some of them are pretty obvious and others are the types of memories that you treasure for a lifetime. So without further ado here is the Hamilton County outdoor adventure bucket list!
Starting with the traditional, Hamilton county offers some amazing fishing holes and waterways to discover.
-Purchase an annual fishing license for $17. This license is good for one adult, and children are permitted to fish with their licensed adult present!
-Find a new favorite fishing hole. There are plenty to choose from running down the White River, but there are also great fishing spots at Morse Park and Beach. These also have nearby playgrounds that excellent for kids.
-Ride the river or take a dip. If the warming weather has you feeling extra adventurous, take a break from fishing and try a ride on the river with the White River Canoe Company or leap into a lake at the Morse Beach Aqua Park.
Double knot your Nike's or grease up you gears; Hamilton County's trails have you covered.
-Pave your way through the County. When it comes to paved trails, the HC has you covered! The Monon Trail is a great option for running and biking that takes you right through the entire County from Sheridan to Westfield to Carmel. It's a safe bet with a paved trail that is miles and miles long.
-Take the trail less traveled. If you're looking for something a little more "out in nature" check out Strawtown Koteewi Park. You can explore the larger trail that's perfectly navigable for strollers, but if you're looking for something more wild there is an off the path trail that runs along the White River and creeks. That creek path is perfect for the next item on our bucket list.
Make a splash this spring by letting everyone have good clean (or not) fun!
-Surfs up in Indiana? As summer approaches Carmel Clay Parks and recreation will open it's flagship Waterpark. Check this adventure off your list last. Starting May 28 you can surf the FlowRider or soak up some sun in the private cabanas.
-Stomp yourself silly. Creek stomping is a time-honored tradition for children dating back to... I don't know...forever? Put on your rain boots and take the family out to Cool Creek Park to make some awesome memories! Make sure you take photos; those splashy pics will keep you smiling all through the next winter. Will it be a mess? Sure. But some messes are worth making.
Speaking of photos don't miss all of Hamilton County's excellent outdoor photo ops!
-Snap the perfect pic. From the barns highlighted at the beginning of the movie Hoosiers to the railroad tracks that run through picturesque woods, there are tons of great places to snap some photos. Heading out in the evening just before sunset will give you perfect light. All you have to do is bring your perfect subjects. Want to know the best view or background in town? Check out the view from Conner Prairie's helium balloon as it reaches its peak.
-Pic while you pick. Lastly, you're not done truly exploring the Hamilton County outdoors until you've picked and brought home your very own wildflower bouquet. From the parks up north like Boxley Cabin to the sides of the White River at Heritage Park in Fishers, you can find many species of wildflowers. The gorgeous blues, pinks and yellows will make your photos pop and will bring the love of the outdoors into your home.
Enjoy your time outdoors with your family or on your own. Make sure you share your photos with us on Instagram @VisitHamiltonCo and use #RecHC.

When it comes to roundabouts, I've turned the corner. So to speak.
Once upon a time, I made a concerted effort to avoid the much-maligned traffic circles while behind the wheel. I had seen the panic-stricken faces of my fellow motorists as they approached these new-fangled intersections, and I scoffed at the assertion that they were safer than stop signs or traffic lights.
Then I started working in Carmel, which has more roundabouts than fast-food restaurants-its 100th is expected to open this year. And it turns out they're easier to navigate than a double drive-through lane.
Now I find myself grumbling when my progress is slowed by a red light, especially if I have to wait a full cycle for just one or two other cars to pass. If you know what you're doing, roundabouts are the way to go.
Here are some tips for navigating roundabouts like a pro:
Keep your eyes on the road. It sounds obvious, but distractions abound. When you're in roundabout country, it pays to pay attention to the signs that let you know what lies ahead. They provide a literal roadmap to which lanes go where, so you can get (and stay) in the right one.
Look left, not right. When you're preparing to enter a roundabout, forget the look-both-ways edict you learning in driving school. Since traffic moves around the central island in one (counter-clockwise) direction, you only need to worry about vehicles approaching from the left. Remember, they always have the right of way.
Keep your foot on the gas: Once you're in the roundabout, keep moving as long as the cars in front of you are moving. One of the advantages of these intersections is that traffic slows but rarely stops. And if you miss your "exit," you'll have another chance on the next lap.
Use your turn signals: Contrary to what seems to be popular belief, using turn signals is not the vehicular equivalent of a "kick me" sign. I look at the practice as a courtesy, a way to communicate my plans for the road I share with other motorists. In a roundabout, that means I signal a right turn before I exit, so drivers approaching the intersection know they don't have to wait for me to pass.
Watch your speed: It turns out roundabouts are safer than traditional intersections, in large part because vehicles aren't flying through them at 55 mph. Carmel officials say roundabouts have reduced the number of personal-injury accidents by about 80 percent, and the total number of accidents by about 40 percent. Speed limits vary depending on the angle of the curve, but rest assured they're not just an idle suggestion.
Carmel has been building roundabouts since the late 1990s, and the rest of Hamilton County is jumping on the bandwagon. More than 150 intersections have been converted countywide already, and dozens more are on the drawing board in Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and beyond.
Since discovering my love of roundabouts, I've only encountered one that has presented a challenge - the five-pronged behemoth just east of Interstate 69's Exit 210. Despite several attempts to get to a Taco Bell located nearby, I always seem to end up in a hospital parking lot. Maybe the traffic gods are trying to tell me something.

I've search around the forum for thirty minutes and can't seem to find help on this one.
I just installed a new chain (my first time) on my Centurion Accordo. Chain was picked up from LBS. I used a chain tool to measure it against my old chain and take out an extra link. It is a SRAM powerlink chain.
Occasionally, especially when peddling hard, the chain pops into another gear. Also, the bike doesn't always shift when I change gears. This could be an issue with the limits screws/ derailleur, but it was highlighted after I installed a new chain.
I'm torn between removing one more link from the new chain (after all, the old one was probably stretched out), but don't want to damage my new chain (if its too small, I'd stretch it, right?). The other option is to mess with the derailuer/ take it to an LBS to get tuned.
Would prefer to DIY with your help if I can! Thanks

Mojang trolls Minecraft player with crude handle
When you choose a username in certain places — like Minecraft, for example — it's expected that you abide by certain decency rules. No crude or offensive names and such. Many people don't listen to such rules, of course, and so there are also word filters into place to weed out many of them. Humans are a creative lot though and so word filters can only do so much; many times offensive and crude names squeak through and enter into the wild, living on until spotted or tattled on. Such was the case with one Minecraft player who spent years playing with a particular crude name before getting hit with a light-hearted jab from Mojang itself.

EATING OUT; The Great Outdoors
Published: July 17, 1998
The decision to dine outdoors is often tricky, particularly in New York, where considerations like passers-by, noise and light are as important as the air-conditioning question. If outdoor dining seems enticing, here are 12 possibilities. (These summaries, written by Eric Asimov, are taken from Ruth Reichl's and Mr. Asimov's dining reviews, columns and articles in The Times.)
1. Aesop's Tables
[Rating: one star]
(718) 720-2005
1233 Bay Street
Rosebank, Staten Island
$$ All major cards
In the bountiful garden at Aesop's Tables, far from the bright lights of Manhattan, you can actually see stars. That's only one of the charms of this warm little country restaurant, with such contemporary American appetizers as asparagus, fennel and grapefruit salad, and seared chicken glazed with lingonberries and balsamic vinegar. Main courses include tuna steak glazed with a sauce of port and porcini mushrooms, and lamb chops glazed with honey and balsamic vinegar. For those who prefer their food unglazed, grilled steak is merely rubbed with spices.
2. Aquagrill
[Rating: two stars]
(212) 274-0505
210 Spring Street, at Avenue of the Americas
$$ All major cards
With its worn wood floor and pleasant covered deck looking out onto the Avenue of the Americas, Aquagrill seems like a comfortable, pleasant neighborhood spot, complete with Mom in the dining room and Pop in the kitchen. But behind the friendly facade is an ambitious, refreshingly original menu devoted to seafood. The wonderfully diverse raw bar is enticing, and the menu offers so many seductive choices that decisions can be difficult. The appetizers, with choices like snail snaps (small warm popovers, each with a garlicky snail in the center) and sauteed mussels and snails with a wonderful potato hash, are all excellent. The fine main courses range from the complex -- grilled salmon with a falafel crust, perched on a bed of hummus with a lemon-coriander vinaigrette -- to the simple: plain fish, perfectly grilled, roasted or poached. The restaurant's wine list is well chosen and varied, with an eye both to value and to the food.
3. Barolo
[Rating: two stars]
(212) 226-1102
398 West Broadway, near Spring Street
$$$ All major cards
Few New York restaurants have Barolo's expansive air, great leaps of space and gorgeous garden. But not everybody leaves Barolo happy. The kitchen is maddeningly inconsistent, capable of simple, exquisite dishes like spaghetti alla chitarra, ravioli in nothing but sage-infused butter, and whole sea bass baked in salt. That these dishes are so good makes it hard to understand how the kitchen can turn out bland, tasteless fare as well, but it does. On the plus side, the service is professional, and the wine list is deep and rich, if expensive.
4. Grove
(212) 675-9463
314 Bleecker Street, at Grove Street
West Village
$ All major cards
Grove's largely American menu doesn't carve out any new territory, but what it lacks in trendy appeal it gives back in good food, not to mention a large, lovely garden surrounded by flowers. Among the best appetizers are excellent steamed mussels, a terrine of roasted pepper, eggplant and goat cheese, and beet salad with toasted walnuts. Main courses like hanger steak, a thick and meaty pork chop and roast chicken are generous, and desserts can be terrific.
5. Herban Kitchen
(212) 627-2257
290 Hudson Street, near Spring Street
South Village
$ All major cards
Herban Kitchen's lush herb garden, along with its small, high-ceilinged dining room, illuminated with dozens of candles and festooned with dried flower wreaths and muted modern art, promotes the feeling that healthy eating can be a sensuous pleasure. Why not? Herban offers no sanctimony, just food with flavor, like grilled portobello mushrooms with creamy sheep's-milk cheese, and garlicky hummus, made with white beans rather than chickpeas, great with crudites and toast points. Red pepper soup is smooth, light and mildly spicy, fine for vegans, since it is made without cream. Herban caters to vegetarians and vegans, and also to meat eaters, with ingredients like organic poultry and beef. Herban also offers a full selection of organic wines.
6. Le Jardin Bistro
(212) 343-9599
25 Cleveland Place, near Spring Street
Lower East Side
$ All major cards
Most people who have been to France can remember little restaurants there where the simple food was so good that they can still conjure up the flavors. Le Jardin is a restaurant that lives up to those memories. Its roster of traditional dishes -- steaks frites, moules frites, cassoulet, bouillabaisse -- is all outstanding, and the chef and owner, Gerard Maurice, produces some exceptional additional dishes, like buttery tuna tartare and a lusty sweetbread salad. The charming garden in the rear looks as if it's been there forever, and Mr. Maurice says he produces a few bottles of wine annually from the grapevines.
7. Lhasa
(212) 674-5870
96 Second Avenue, near Fifth Street
East Village
$ All major cards
This new Tibetan restaurant is a mellow, quiet place with tranquil music playing softly in the background and a staff that is friendly, calm, alert and responsive. The handsome paneled dining room is often empty; everybody's out on the patio, with its serene rock garden. With its Chinese and Indian influences, you'd expect that Tibetan food would be spicy, but in fact it's mild. You may find yourself reaching for the hot sauce on the table to give the food a jolt. Some of the better dishes include shrimp patties, firm disks filled with chopped shrimp, that are delicious with their minty dipping sauce; wonderfully savory fried momo, or dumplings, stuffed with chicken; tsel gyathuk ngopa, or egg noodles, sauteed until almost crisp and topped with spinach, carrots and bok choy, and then thuk, a hearty bowl of flat noodles with just the right amount of resistance in a broth with tasty bites of beef, radish, spinach and a dollop of cottage cheese. For an unusual dessert, try bhaktsa makhu, firm little cylinders of pasta rolled in brown sugar and topped with grated cheese that are tastier than they sound.
8. Moustache East
(212) 228-2022
265 East 10th Street, near First Avenue
East Village

Merle Haggard. Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb. His band, Loaded, plays the Crocodile at 8 p.m. tonight.
This city of Seattle never ceases to surprise and intrigue me. It is a cultural and artistic melting pot, and that is for sure. I try and see life through much more than just "a musician's" eyes, but often it is at musical events that I feel closest to my comfort zone. Maybe here I can let down my veil of adult, my facade of judgment. Perhaps my observations are less colored by outside factors whilst I am in a club or a theater.
Merle Haggard. Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb. His band, Loaded, plays the Crocodile at 8 p.m. tonight.
Sometimes I will see 100 gigs a year and find very little to be inspired by. At other periods in my life, I will see three or four shows in a short amount of time that just seem to make me a better person. Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson at the Paramount the other night gave much more to me than I could have hoped for.
Merle's battle with lung cancer led to some hushed-tone urgency when tickets to a date or two of his became available. Reverence for the man and his career were obviously evident last Friday. Kris Kristofferson may have summed up the evening's sentiment with his song "Here Comes That Rainbow Again." If you haven't yet heard it, I strongly suggest you do so.
Another aspect of that evening gave me pause for reflection: real, hardcore Merle and Kristofferson fans aren't the ultra-hip scribes and scenesters that one may hear bragging about a show like this. No, the people who were there were from eastern and central Washington, south of Olympia, and north of, well, downtown and Capitol Hill. These people looked hardscrabble and perma-tanned from years of working in the sun. The thing about Seattle, though, is that there is a comfort zone here for a crowd like this. As I was driving up Pike after the gig, I saw some punkers walking an old cowboy and his wife to a bar. Cool.
This town was host to some of the first punk-rock clubs in the country back in the '70s, too. Early Northwest punk bands like D.O.A. and the Fastbacks in turn informed the scene that would burst on the world consciousness with Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. Perhaps Seattle's most precious musical commodity would not have been able to ferment without the solidarity that is shown to its musicians (that "commodity" to me is Mark Lanegan).
We seemingly were seen as a place that was open-minded enough to host the first rap tour when other cities' promoters didn't see the worth in it (yes, Grand Master Flash at the Music Hall in late 1980, I believe). "Urban" radio got some of its earliest high-audience ratings here in our town.
And now on to our weather.
This past weekend we finally caught sight of springtime. It seems that all it really takes is two consecutive days of near 70-degree weather for us to forget all that we knew of the long, dismal Seattle winter. In my humble opinion, there really is nothing or no place in this world like summer in Seattle. The Mariners will be having their home opener on April 14, and we can get our hopes up for at least not finishing in the A.L. cellar like last year.
May I suggest some good reads for your lazy, ever-lengthening days ahead?
Mr. Untouchable: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Heroin's Teflon Don. This is a no-holds-barred biopic of Harlem's Nicky Barnes, a self-made drug mogul who almost got away with it all.
Beautiful Boy, David Sheff. This book really jarred me as it probably hit closer to home than I was expecting as a father myself. This book explores a father and son's heartbreaking journey through meth addiction. A simply amazing read.
Longitude, Dava Sobel. If you are an exploration and adventure nerd like myself, then you will know that having only latitudinal readings spelled disaster for many of our early maritime discoverers. The hunt for the mysteries that finally unlocked longitude were not just mathematical. Many people in high places wanted the credit and reward that a simple carpenter inevitably got to take home.
My Bondage, My Freedom, Frederick Douglass. I read this book while I was at Seattle University a few years back. When a book is a required read in a particular course, rarely do you find it to be a page-turner. Douglass' account of his young life in slavery, his eventual escape into the North, and scholastic and cultural stardom paint a vivid picture of what life was like not only for him in the 1800s but for the rest of America as well.
Hitmen, Frederic Dannen. An amazing expose of the record industry circa the 1980s: Payola, sex, scandal, and intrigue. Good shit!
Q, Quincy Jones. A large portion of this book takes a look at Mr. Jones' early days right here in Seattle. It enlightened me to read about how thriving and great a jazz scene we had here in the '40s and '50s. Quincy is a bad motherfucker!
Lexicon Devil, Brendon Mullen. For anyone who doesn't know about the Germs, this would be the book to get you caught up. The Germs were one of the most influential American punk bands, PERIOD. Brendon Mullen does the band and the era justice.
60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Seattle, Andrew Weber and Bryce Stevens. Yeah, that's right. Get the fuck out of that chair or sofa and up into those mountains that you look at so longingly from Capitol Hill or the 520 bridge!

Celebrating International Women's Day will be more meaningful when the nation will be a safer haven for the fairer sex, Bollywood celebrities like Anupam Kher and Bipasha Basu believe.
A string of celebrities took to Twitter to praise the strength of women, and how the need of the hour is to safeguard them.
Here's what they wrote:
Anupam Kher: Happy Women's Day will make more sense the day we actually think of their happiness, dignity and respect. Men need to change. Women are fine.
Onir: On Women's Day, wishing that the film industry would not only give them appropriate credits, but also not have such difference between what a female actor is paid in comparison to the male counterpart. And that holds true for sports too. I find it hard to say - Happy Women's Day when all I see around me is violence, disrespect and discrimination.
Bipasha Basu: The theme for International Women's Day 2013 is "A promise is a promise". Time for action to end violence against women!
Shekhar Kapur: India's future depends on having women stand as equals and as partners in taking the nation forward. Happy Women's Day.
Sophie Choudry: Considering the number of heinous crimes committed against women in our country, Women's Day means nothing until we can be respected and protected!
Preity Zinta: Happy Women's Day to all the women out there. Have one thing to say to you all. "Don't tell me sky is the limit when you have footprints on the moon."
Madhur Bhandarkar: To the epitome of strength, tenderness, care and wisdom... Happy Women's Day to all the women around the world. Shine on!
Akshay Kumar: Happy Women's Day, everyday! You don't need me or anyone else to remind you that, but no harm in a little pampering. Enjoy!
Karan Johar: Men deserve a day of celebration not women... because women own the other 364 days of the year! Happy Women's Day!
Jackky Bhagnani: Happy Women's Day to all the women of the world, and today I must admit that apart from physical stregnth, women are far superior in all aspects.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Eirik's Saga
Penguin Books Limited, 1965 - Fiction - 123 pages
One of the most arresting stories in the history of exploration, these two Icelandic sagas tell of the discovery of America by Norsemen five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Together, the direct, forceful twelfth-century Graenlendinga Saga and the more polished and scholarly Eirik's Saga, written some hundred years later, recount how Eirik the Red founded an Icelandic colony in Greenland and how his son, Leif the Lucky, later sailed south to explore – and if possible exploit – the chance discovery by Bjarni Herjolfsson of an unknown land. In spare and vigorous prose they record Europe's first surprise glimpse of the eastern shores of the North American continent and the natives who inhabited them.

Alison Cole
Alison is proud to be a member of the Animal Voices collective since November 2009, where she reunited with her radio broadcast roots to produce and co-host a show that speaks deeply to several of her passions: animal rights, veganism, education, and broadcast communications. Her evolution into developing her awareness of animal issues and compassion for all creatures started as a teenager, when she began asking questions and adopted a vegetarian lifestyle to live in congruency with her ethics. Always on a path of learning, she went vegan in 2006, and since 2011 has been exploring a high raw vegan lifestyle.
She enjoys participating in many facets of animal activism in her community, from attending demos to tabling for animal rights groups to social media advocacy, but is most committed and focused to providing quality programming on the Animal Voices show each week, and continuing to educate herself in these issues so that she can have the most up-to-date and accurate information to educate others. A few of the most influential books she has ever read to help pave this path are "Slaughterhouse" by Gail Eisnitz, "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins, and "The World Peace Diet" by Will Tuttle – all must-reads for every human being, in her opinion!
Elyse Jacobson
Elyse has been co-hosting Animal Voices since September 2014 and producing since December 2015. A lifelong animal lover, she finally "made the connection" in 2010 after watching the documentary Earthlings, and committed to a vegan lifestyle. She is now a passionate advocate for animal liberation and regularly participates in activism in the Vancouver area. She is especially interested in evidence-based vegan nutrition, pro-intersectional vegan feminism, and all scientific findings related to animal behavior, sentience, and intelligence.
Elyse is a professional classical violinist and violin teacher, as well as an occasional lyricist, and she enjoys using these skills and the platform they provide to call attention to animal and human rights issues. In her spare time, she enjoys eating delicious vegan food, going to concerts and plays, travelling, reading articles online, and watching movies.
Alissa Raye
Alissa joined Animal Voices in December of 2010 and started hosting and producing in December 2011. In high school she stopped eating land animals after learning about the environmental destruction that it was causing on a global scale. She was a pescetarian for 10 years before she made the connection and committed to veganism in 2007, after watching the documentary Earthlings. She enjoys leafletting and tabling with veg outreach groups and is driven by a desire to continue learning about effective communication strategies. She is deeply inspired by the work of speaker, podcaster, and author, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, and photographer and humane educator, Jo-Anne McArthur.
Besides speaking out for animals, she hosts a monthly vegan supper club with her partner, writes and performs music, and daydreams about travelling to Europe and South America while working at Vancouver's only car share co-op. She looks forward to a time when she feels settled enough to welcome rescued animals into her home.
Jackie McIntosh
Jackie joined Animal Voices in October 2012, and serves as a host and producer of the show. They have always felt a strong connection to all animals, from rats to bears, and were fortunate enough to grow up in an area surrounded by wildlife.
After watching the documentary film Food Inc. in early 2010, they made the life-changing, committed switch to veganism. Jackie committed to educating them-self as much as possible about the many forms of oppression of other animals that takes place in today's society. As such, Jackie has become very involved in animal liberation activism. From various forms of demonstrations and outreach to educating the people closest to them, Jackie feels more empowered every day to fight for the liberation of these exploited beings.
Jackie enjoys film outreach and story-telling, and finds it to be a powerful method of activism, especially as most humans need to build a connection to these animals in ways that petitioning and leaflets don't do. Some of their top most influential films include Maximum Tolerated Dose, The Ghosts in Our Machine, and The Witness, among many others. Their long term goal is to one day open up a sanctuary for animals rescued from exploitation, or at least to live somewhere with the ability of at-home rescue, while always remaining committed in the fight for animal (human and non) liberation.
Tim Aretz
Tim joined Animal Voices in Summer 2012, initially as a tech operator but he stepped up to contribute, host, and produce shows as well. He became vegetarian at the age of 11 when it dawned on him that he wouldn't want to eat his cat and it would be unfair to eat other animals simply because he didn't know their name. It took him a long time to transition to veganism and to accept the label but he is glad he finally did. Together with Alissa Raye he runs the vegan dinner club Plate Invaders. Aside from animal rights he is very interested in environmentalism, social justice, and disc golf.

Jon's First Entry
Well, it's that time of year again. Back home, the snow is flying with more frequency and the wind is blowing just a little bit colder as winter winds herself down in some kind of tantrum a two year old would find embarrassing. Fortunately for me, that's something that my friends and family are going to have to worry about for the next week because I'm in California for the 2008 Game Developer's Conference.
Okay sure, that was a long lead-up to my first blog post, but I was feeling vindictive and poetic all at the same time. Seriously though, three of us left Halifax on Evan (our Art Director) and myself. The trip down was frustrating as the flight was booked to lay over in Chicago. Unfortunately for us, weather in Chicago was bad enough that instead of taking off, our plane taxied away from the gate and sat motionless for two hours. We missed our connecting flight and had to re-schedule.
Now, I know what you're thinking... Jon's using his blog to talk about the weather. Well, yes. but it's not because of the delay. I wanted to tell you about something I saw while we were in the air (and not the episode of Ugly Betty they played).
As we watched from the window of the plane, the clouds in the distance would flash brilliantly. Because it was dark, the flashes lit the entire cloud formation, dark on the inside, but a brilliant yellow-white on the outside. You know how when your girlfriend breaks up with you and people say "every cloud has a silver lining" and you want to punch them in the face? Well, as it turns out, clouds do have silver linings after all. Not because the lightning storm appeared on a trip that had been annoying me, but because I saw an honest to God silver lining. Just thought I'd share.
Yesterday, the first official day of the conference, I arrived for my meeting with Funcom to talk about Age of Conan. Now, I have to admit to not being in the beta for this game, but every time I see a demo, I like it more and more. First of all, the game itself is just stunning to look at. The quality of the graphics and what I can only assume is some first rate art direction (and artists) really make the game pop. Gameplay-wise, they have a few features that really set it apart from the pack in terms of innovation and implementation. I'm especially impressed with the game's mounted combat. Between the animations and the actual mechanics of the mounts, I think that I could really dig playing a cavalryman in the Age of Conan.
Well, that's it for me. Expect more poetic waxing in the days to come .
