Lookbook pack the Kitty Cat Klub for CD-release
Photo by Nikki Miller
Click here for the complete Lookbook slideshow.
There's a lot of ebb and flow in our local scene, as bands rise to popularity and fade back into the fold, and at any given time there seems to be a handful of bands that are thrown into the spotlight and lavished with attention from the entire community at large. A friend of mine has a theory that there is a music mafia in Minneapolis -- a collection of writers, tweeters, and movers-and-shakers that seem to have an unspoken agreement to promote certain events and musicians at certain times -- but in reality, it seems that our scene is small enough that we are able to dote on a couple of bands at a time and that a few blog posts, videos, and reviews (what the jaded would call hype) are enough to push them to the forefront of our collective consciousness.
Long story short, for whatever reason Lookbook have becomethe
band these days, and their CD-release show at the Kitty Cat Klub had an air immediacy and importance. By the time opener Shahs finished his set, the place had sold out and even guest-listed patrons were being turned away at the door at the order of the fire marshall.

The warm-up acts selected for the CD-release show were expertly placed. Shahs, a one-man-band featuring Tom Helgerson from To Kill A Petty Bougouisie, entranced the audience with his experimental electro wizardry, ratcheting his sounds from barely audible murmurs to loudly crashing vibrations at the twitch of a knob. Zoo Animal, who were featured this week in the #2 slot of our Picked to Click issue, lived up to their title of best new band by playing a dynamic, spot-on set of minimalist rock 'n' roll and undoubtedly gaining a whole new slew of fans, as the packed room reacted enthusiastically to their every calculated move.

And then there was Lookbook, the stars of the evening, who transformed the venue into a strobing dance club. It's not easy to get a crowd of Midwestern indie rock fans to shake their money makers, but as their set wore on lead singer Maggie Morrison issued a plea that people start moving their feet. Despite their modesty, people eventually started to comply, as Lookbook's more dancey new tunes off of their first full-length, Wild At Heart, seemed to shake the very foundation of the club.
Both Morrison and musical partner Grant Cutler were in top form, with Cutler multi-tasking near the back of the stage to provide drum tracks, synth rhythms and live guitar parts while Morrison's voice grew from a coy whisper into a pop diva's throaty wail. The duo even took the opportunity to debut an unperformed song -- the closing track off of Wild At Heart, "Surprise" -- which you can sample in this video clip shot by Justin Andert of Above the Fold:

Veg Restaurant in MumbaiPosted on 05 / 13 / 2010
Me and my wife finally decided to drop into this place for lunch on Sunday. We the most talked about dish t"Original Channa Batura" which was on the top of the list in a section on the Menu known as "Timeless Classics" and boy we'd never seen such Gigantic Bhaturas ever, so we just ordered for a single dish, another d...ish we ordered was "Paneer & Vegetable Shaslik" that falls under the "Mera Chota Sizzler" section of the Menu card.
Our order arrived and the size of the Baturas left us full of awe and the sizzling "Paneer & Vegetable Shaslik" was overtly tempting. It was almost evident while having these dishes, that top quality ingredients were being used, coz we seldom see such large channas being used in a dish like channa batura in other restaurants. The Paneer was another admirable ingredient, that it literally melted into your mouth, it reminded me of Reshmi Tikkas. By the time we had these two dishes we were already feeling full, so we decided to order a "Sizzling Brownie Fundae", although it was mentioned that the brownie served is eggless and although I am a non-vegetarian, I could't find it to be different in any manner than the one's I have tasted in other non-vegetarian restaurants this makes it a point that eggless brownie's could taste good too. Overall we had a great veggie lunch especially on a Sunday afternoon that left us bloated. To conclude my review I'd say

Chip ETFs Down, May Be Out for a While
(PSI), the Semiconductor HOLDRs Fund (SMH) and the SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (XSD) have seen respective year-to-date declines of 39.4%, 39.09% and 35.3%.Investors who have taken the other side of the trade have fared much better. Of the 812 ETFs tracked by Morningstar, the top-performing ETF has been the UltraShort Semiconductor ProShares Fund (SSG). The fund is designed to return shareholders twice the inverse of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductor Index. The semiconductor industry's transition in focus from businesses to individuals has been part of the downfall this year as consumers have been reining in spending. "Over the past 10 years, there has been a fundamental shift from corporate IT to consumer demand," said Ken Nagy, a senior analyst for Zacks Investment Research. "The shift will continue in the years ahead, as consumers all over the world are captivated by the richness and portability of digital media." This trend could lead to additional challenges for semiconductors. "This shift leads to seasonal demand in the sector," Nagy said. "It also leads to the potential for more commoditized products and average selling price erosion." Demand Destruction Betsy Van Hees, a vice president and semiconductor analyst for Caris & Co., agrees with Nagy that this shift is a major concern for the sector. "The biggest risk for the sector right now is a slowing of demand," she said. "And if consumers continue to be cautious, we could see a further slowing of demand."Semiconductors have been one of the worst-performing sectors in 2008. So far this year, the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductor Index has fallen 44.8%, while the S&P 500 is down 33.9%. Semiconductor ETFs have similarly felt the agony of the selloff.

Lisa Earle McLeod: Getting your hopes up isn't such a bad thingPublished 10:06am Friday, August 28, 2009
"Don't get your hopes up."
This is the single stupidest piece of advice that ever was.
Because guess what? Nothing bad happens when you get your hopes up. I know people say you shouldn't get your hopes up because you might be disappointed. But there's a big difference between being overly attached to an outcome and being hopeful.
Being overly attached to an outcome means that you can't stand it when things don't go your way. Getting your hopes up just means that you're excited about the possibility of success. And can you think of a single venture that doesn't benefit from people being excited about it?
Consider these two scenarios: Person A and Person B are both up for a promotion.
They're equally qualified for the job, but Person A doesn't want to get their hopes up. Perhaps they were raised by a parent who continually warned them not to get too hopeful every time they got enthused; or perhaps they're just afraid of disappointment.
So they set up the interview and spend the three weeks prior to it trying to keep the hope at bay. They don't tell many people about the opportunity, and every time they find themselves fantasizing about it, they stop themselves, reining in their thoughts, not allowing themselves to imagine it happening.
The morning they leave for the interview, they tell their spouse, "I want this job, but I don't want to get my hopes up."
Now consider Person B who is interviewing for the same job, but who happens to be a hope junkie. In the weeks prior to their interview, they walk around positively beaming, imagining how exciting it would be to win the promotion, and they tell anyone who will listen, "I'm really hoping to get this job."
On the day of the interview they walk out of the house, giving their spouse and kids a big thumbs up, saying "Let's hope I get it!"
Who do you think has a better shot of getting the job?
Duh. When you're hopeful you radiate a confidence and energy that significantly increases the likelihood of things going your way.
But what happens if neither of them gets the job? What if the boss gives the promotion to his deadbeat nephew instead?
Has the "don't get your hopes up" person protected themselves from disappointment?
Probably not. You see, that's the fallacy behind the "don't get your hopes up" theory.
The truth is if you want the job, you want the job, and it's not going to hurt any more or less if you walked around hopeful. In fact, just the opposite.
Person A spent three weeks nervous and worried, putting a lot of energy into keeping hope at bay, while Person B spent that same time hopeful and excited.
They might not have landed the job, but who knows what three weeks of hopeful energy did for them in terms of creating support and other opportunities.
Getting your hopes up isn't about being stupid, and it's not about getting our heart absolutely set on something. It's just about allowing yourself to experience positive emotions.
Your brain can't tell the difference between perception and reality.
When you don't get your hopes up, you don't protect yourself from disappointment, you actually experience it twice.
Once when you're trying to avoid getting hopeful and then again, when your non-hopeful outlook is confirmed.
Hope. It's a good thing.

...winter -1-... by OlegBreslavtsevWatch
©2009-2016 OlegBreslavtsev
Splendid cold and beautiful.
very nice, I love this touch of color by the leaf.
the focus is perfect!
wonderful shot!
Fantastic shot - autumn meets winter
This is another nice, simple piece of work with an interesting contrast between the warm tones of the leaf and the cool hues of the rest of the image.
Beautifully caught there, young Squire
Oh wauw, beautiful.
Nice shot! Clean & tidy and well balanced. I like the way the straight horizontal line of the branch crossing the entire frame right through left, with a "sub-branch" reaching out into the center of the composition with another branch holding the subject. It's so weak and can't hold on much longer. I get the sense of a tight chain that's about to fall apart! High drama and well composed!
Great work!
Great work!
This picture is amazing! Nice shot!!
All those little crystals are awesome. Great shot!
Very nice =]
Lovely!!! Tender, beautiful!!!
Nice composition, I like this photo!
wow. the light and colors are beautiful
Well done!
Well done!
i just love it ! Great comp .

Panthers Tango with Cash

What if I told you our draft went like this....

Good read on UDFA WR Keyarris Garrett
SOJA replied to LUUUUUKE's topic in Carolina PanthersI'm so so so psyched about our UDFAs in Garrett and Cash - I wanted us to draft both of them
Someone sell me on why Butler was a good pick?
SOJA replied to Doc Holiday's topic in Carolina PanthersIf Ealy and Butler can generate pressure with Short this year I don't see why our D-line can't be just as good at the prime of CJ and Hardy
Panthers Select Zack Sanchez CB Oklahoma in the 5th Round
SOJA replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina PanthersShaq is a Will and is TD's replacement - so no
Panthers Select Zack Sanchez CB Oklahoma in the 5th Round
SOJA replied to bobsfoodbasics's topic in Carolina Panthersby the way - this guy is a Nickel while the other two were outside guys- with how much we play nickel in the modern NFL this is almost like drafting a different position Sanchez will get great tutelage from both Bene and Boykin this year and is great insurance against losing Boykin next offseason (bc we all know were going to make him look great and some team will overpay for him)
Panthers press conference after Bradberry & Worley picks
SOJA replied to KB_fan's topic in Carolina PanthersAfter watching that it sounds like after Ogbah, Henry (x2), Cravens, and Sterling all got picked James Bradberry was the guy we were targeting. Very interesting. Teams have been know to keep tight lids on guys they really wanted - Jax taking Bortles is a recent example I think we called teams to try and move up- and those teams asked for future 1sts- which is too rich for G-man. Knowing that we were sitting at the end of round 2 - I think Bradberry was our target all along.
I loved the Falcons draft last year....that hasn't worked out quite as well as expected.
hoping Cash falls to us - really like him- also I wouldn't be upset if we went with a WR or RB prospect
I'm sure you know this but it's worth typing out The Jags defense this year is adding: Dante Fowler, Jalen Ramsay, and Myles Jack. Holy fug balls.

Lexington Realty Gains on Equity Offering - Analyst Blog
Shares of Lexington Realty Trust ( LXP ) gained 1.03% since the company announced its decision to offer common shares on Oct 11. The company is issuing 10 million common shares at $11.17 each to enhance its liquidity.
Moreover, Lexington Realty decided to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.5 million shares. The offering is expected to close on Oct 17, upon fulfillment of customary closing conditions.
Lexington Realty expects to garner gross proceeds of $111.7 million (before underwriting discounts and commissions and projected offering expenses) from this offering. This hybrid real estate investment trust (REIT) intends to utilize the net proceeds, in full, to repay debt outstanding on its unsecured revolving credit facility.
As a matter of fact, the company used a fraction of this unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the recent buyout of New York-based portfolio of three land parcels. Notably, on Oct 9, 2013, Lexington Realty acquired the three land parcels, spanning 0.6 acres, for $302 million. The portfolio is net leased to tenants under non-cancellable 99-year leases.
Wells Fargo Securities LLC - an operational arm of Wells Fargo & Company ( WFC ) - and Barclays PLC ( BCS ) are assisting Lexington Realty in this equity offering as underwriters. Though this public offering will result in share dilution for Lexington Realty, the payment of debt is encouraging as it will reduce interest expenses. Moreover, strategic acquisitions will help the company enhance its portfolio quality, which will consequently be accretive to its earnings going forward.
As of Jun 30, 2013, Lexington Realty's cash and cash equivalents stood at $74.3 million. Moreover, the company, exercising an accordion feature, increased the availability of unsecured revolving credit facility from $300 million to $400 million. Notably, Lexington Realty had no outstanding amounts under the facility as of Jun 30, 2013.
Currently, Lexington Realty carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Parkway Properties Inc. ( PKY ) is one of the better performing REITs with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2011 Vintage) This 2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of ZD's commitment to producing powerful yet balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, even in a challenging growing season. Briary black cherry, cassis and lavender aromas are complemented with subtle hints of anise, tobacco and a hint of juniper. Sweet, toasty vanilla and spice add depth and complexity. On the palate, lush, silky tannins envelop the core of forward black fruit. Perfectly integrated oak rounds out the long finish.
Wine Spectator(From 1987 Vintage) Rating: 78/100 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator on 02/15/91
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines(From 2005 Vintage) Likeable aromas of ripe cherries, creamy oak and creme de cassis are quickly joined by a faint but evident whiff of angularity, and that edginess reappears in the wine from mid-palate to finish. It might be possible for cellar aging to help the wine overcome its difficulties, but the risks are great.
Critics Challenge(From 2000 Vintage) Rating: Critics Challenge 2004 Award - As reviewed by Critics Challenge on 05/01/04. This wine shows good fruit flavors and is well balanced

We continue Black Blossom, the novel that follows The Aphorisms of Kherishdar and The Admonishments of Kherishdar. It is a form of quasi-communal storytelling, as described here. Feel free to ask questions, converse or react as you wish in the comments; the Calligrapher and I are at your disposal, as time permits us both. And don't fear… your questions are shaping the narrative. Read closely in the future and you may see yourself referred to there.
Black Blossom, Part 85
A Story of Kherishdar as Translated by M.C.A. Hogarth
That is when time crashed back into motion, with all the violence of the rounds that had opened his chest, great gaping mouths that vomited blood as bright as the filirij on the rifles of the Guardians who had stopped, stunned with horror at what they had wrought.
We were not the first to move. Before any of us could react, the female aunerai grabbed the newcome male and shouted something at him that sent him running, talking at speed into some device at his mouth. Her caste-peer lunged to Ajan's side, stripping his uniform jacket and using it to stanch the wounds.
And then the flicker at my side was Kor, so swift he blurred, joining the alien. His face was a mask.
There is a reason we proscribe guns, aunera. We die easily, far more easily than you do. The velocity of a weapon seems to have more of an effect on us than it does on aunera—you are built more densely than we are—and what we can survive with difficulty from a sword we cannot from a rifle. Ajan had leaped, knowing that if hit he would die to protect one of Kherishdar's lords, not just from an ignominious end, but from becoming the foundation of a diplomatic incident and a terrible scandal. A lord dying from implied aunerai violence after being found in their beds? Better the sacrifice of a young Guardian in a misunderstanding between a lord and an alien than that.
But we all knew that he would die.
All of us, apparently, except the aunera.
I became aware that the female was on the verge of shaking me when she stepped between me and the sight of Kor bent with his brow to the slack hand he cradled in his own. "Osulkedi!" she cried. "Listen to me! I require permission to treat your man!"
In the distance I heard a hair-raising wail. "What?"
"Let us help him!" she said, desperate. "Our medicine is better than yours! We can save him!"
I stared at her. "What? How… it's not possible."
"It is!" she almost shouted, her eyes tearing. "So give us permission! And one of you come with us, in case the surgeon needs a healthy example of what you're supposed to look like when he stitches him back together!"
"I… you…" The sheer improbability of what she suggested was finally overwhelmed by an insane hope. "KOR!" I shouted, and ran for him. "Kor, go with them!"
Kor looked up from Ajan's side. The hands folded around his lover's were trembling.
"They want to save him!" I said. "They might be able to. Go with them!"
"Farren?" Kor said, hoarse, and my heart seized as his voice broke on the last syllable.
"Go with them," I said again as one of the aunerai vehicles burst into view, bringing with it the piercing siren.
Kor stumbled after them, then, when the aliens loaded Ajan's still form into their vehicle. The female—Lenore—paced Ajan's body, talking almost as fast as she could form words and translating them just as quickly on Kor's behalf. They left me there with the lord and his aunerai lover… and a pool of spreading blood…
…and the two Guardians, one of whom had fallen against the Gate jamb, his rifle on the ground. The other was clasping the weapon with fists so tight they shook. I said to the lord, "There is work to be done," and led him to the Guardians, saying, "you have used the proscribed weapons on an Ai-Naidari but it was not intentional. The lord here is witness; he will go with you to your liege and explain the situation." I eyed Qenain and was relieved to see him revivifying. I finished, "It would be well for you to take the male aunerai with you in case any diplomatic issue arises during the deposition."
"It is well considered, osulkedi," the lord said. To the Guardians, he said, "Send for your relief, and when they arrive, we will depart."
Within half an hour, then, I had dispatched everyone to where they could do the most good… except for one person. You will have observed whom, aunera.
Yes. I had forgotten myself.
Reck this:
Once there was a pot… a potter… once there was a broken pot—
It seemed cruel to leave you all hanging, so have a bonus Thursday episode. We will have tomorrow's as well.

Hello, I'm having issues with my Spiderchip 1.1 (big surprise ). ok, here's the description of what's going on. I made a cd with evo m8+ on it, so i could update my chip to work on a v1.6b xbox. I found a xbox v1.1 for cheap. I installed the chip in, made something to push on it and hold it down, and it turns on. no problem yet. now i put the disc in, and it sees it. it gives me the cd label, then freezes. i've waited 2 hours in hopes it would be updating. i gave up and rebooted. it rebooted 3 times by itself, then gave me a blank screen. it did this a few times. i pushed a bit on the chip, and turned it on again. this time it loaded the original menu. I know the file is called bios.bin, i checked to make sure it wasn't bios.bin.bin . when i made the cd though, i didn't put it in mode 1. could that be the problem? please email me at:
daisuke(dot)16(at)hotmail(dot)com if possible.
thank you for your time and patience,
Damien (a.k.a. VariableDX9)

"Hank Paulson was born at Goldman Sachs I believe. From like a desk or something. I don't even think he has a mother or a father."
"My objective is to be the most relevant and comprehensive and cohesive source about Goldman Sachs in the world," Mike Morgan, the lawyer behind the web site Facts About Goldman Sachs was saying, quite lucidly, when we logged onto the conference call he held this evening to rally volunteers. He added that he's been contacted by two movie producers since the story of Goldman sending him a cease-and-desist letter made the media rounds this week. "One is working on a movie called The Heist and the other is working on a documentary. It's not Michael Moore," he hastened to add. After that, the conversation quickly devolved. Bits we caught: "Goldman Sachs owns Washington." "Hank Paulson was at Goldman Sachs 32 years. He was born at Goldman Sachs I believe. From like a desk or something. I don't even think he has a mother or a father." "I am not a conspiracy theorist." This was followed by a long story about the Jews wandering the desert, which ended thusly: "If you think I'm a crackpot, you can sign off now." Ok then. [Goldman Sachs 666]

Camp along the beach in Anawangin: "The splashing of waves makes a good lullabye" Top 5 Page for this destination Province of Zambales Hotel Tip by f8stop
Province of Zambales Hotels: 16 reviews and 40 photos
There are no lodging facilities in Anawangin Cove. All visitors are expected to bring their own tents/hammocks and other sleeping equipment.
The beach has caretakers, though. And depending on which part of the beach you pitch your tent, you will be asked to pay a maintenance fee of P50 (about 1 USD) or P150 (about 3 USD) per person.
I suggest you settle on the middle part of the beach near the water pumps and public toilets. Fee here is P50/person. Both the lake (to the left) and the rockies (to the right at the edge of the cove) are a short walk from here.
*It is probably best if your tents are under trees or between other foliage in case of rain and also to protect them from strong gusts of wind from the sea. (it did not rain when we were there but it DID get windy)
Price: less than US$20

Amateur Wedding Paparazzi (Transcript)
Should guests snap cell-phone photos at weddings and post them online?
They're turning it into "This is my own photographic statement about this event I was at." You don't see people going to the pew or the seat – wherever it is – and pulling out cameras. There aren't 50 people with actual cameras taking pictures.
Cameras have been around forever and there's never been a problem with, "Oh, my gosh, people starting photographing the ceremony." So there is something holding people back from that. I think this new technology is so ubiquitous and easy that it's broken down that barrier. You don't have to tell people, "Please don't bring a camera to the ceremony."
Farhad: Emily, I disagree. I've seen people pull out cameras at wedding ceremonies for a long time. I'm pretty sure I've done it myself. Not a phone. A camera.
I think what's different here is the fact it wasn't a distraction because the photos weren't instantly on Facebook, but now that the photos are being taken and posted, I think that's the difference.
I think I recognize that worry that people go to event these days. It's not just weddings. This happens at music concerts all the time. I notice that instead of enjoying the music, people will pull out their cell phones and either video record or audio record the thing that they're watching. The worry is you're not enjoying the moment or experiencing the moment. You're spending your time capturing the moment.
I actually don't think it's as big of a distraction as you say it is. It's not loud. It's not hurting the ceremony. I just don't think that's happening. I also think, for many people, the act of capturing is their way of enjoying it. When they see something that touches them, that moves them, that they want to remember, the way we do that now is to record it.
You're right. Those pictures aren't a gift to the couple, but I think they're the way that people experience events these days. In the old days, you might have whistled at a concert when you loved something or put up your lighter. But nowadays, you record it. I think it's just an automatic response to great things happening.
Emily: Yeah, but when you hired the wedding photographer, there are tons of photographs and you get the proofs and you go through them and you choose the ones. You actually edit what your recorded memory will be of the experience. You don't have 1,000 photographs in your wedding album; you've chosen the ones that best describe the moment. That's lost when everyone there is creating their own album and disseminating it and turning your event into their event.
This is like recording your kid's piano recital where everyone is standing in the way and jockeying each other. I used to record my daughter's piano recitals. I've enjoyed them so much more since I've said, "You know what? This just going to be an event I experience now and I'm really going to sit here an experience it." It's fleeting. There are fleeting things that just exist in your memory.
How often are you going to be looking back at someone else's wedding photos? It's silly. Just experience this event.
Farhad: I agree with you. I actually don't record people's wedding ceremonies. It's funny to me that you see several people taking a photo – people who know each other – taking a photo of the same thing. People hand their own cameras to someone to take a portrait of a family or something.
It's weird because they're taking the same photo. With digital photography, there's no ownership of the photo. If you take one photo, you can share it with everyone. There's no "your photo" and "my photo."
People still want the sense of ownership over pictures, I think. Even if digital photography allows us to pass pictures around easily, you want a sense that "this is my photo of your event." Even if you're not going to look at that photo again, I think it's just people's way of enjoying it.
If you think about it, if you pause and wonder why you're pulling out your cell phone to record this event when so many other people are recording it, and when you're probably not going to go back and care in five years time about this event, then it seems silly as you say.
Perhaps maybe people should pause before they pull out their cell phones and think about why they're doing it. But I think people don't think about it and I don't think that's so bad. It's just their way of responding to a positive event.
Emily: But I think it is bad. What our series is about is how technology crashes up against etiquette. You're absolutely right. Before people pull out their cell phones and start taking pictures, you have this group go, "Oh, okay." Then everyone is.
I think there are places you have to enforce certain norms. Your phone, you're not going to text, you're not going to talk, you're not going to take photos. You are going to sit quietly and observe this event. You don't have to capture everything.
Farhad: You said another thing that I disagree with. You think this event your event – the happy couple's event. But I guess I disagree that a wedding is that. It's also the way that people remember that event. It's part of their lives, too, and I think they're entitled to try to remember your ceremony with their own documentation.
If you're getting married, you can enforce a "no cell phone during the ceremony" rule. But I think a lot of your guests will feel offended by that, because I think that for them trying to be part of your ceremony is recording it.
Emily: I think because this person has experienced what clearly is a shifting norm, I think people now should have, as people are being seated, when you go into a church – I've been to funerals where there are people as you're walking in say, "Please make sure your phones are off." I think at weddings, as you're being walked to your seat, people should say, "And please turn off your phone and keep it away." That's it. You don't have to make explanations. It's obvious you don't want phones to be ringing.
My bottom line is I'm against this. Turn off the electronics. Just let an experience wash over you. At the reception, it's fine. Or ask the bride and groom, "Look, I'd love to take some amateur photos." That's okay. Not the ceremony.
Farhad: My bottom line is it's fine. You should be able to pull out your cell phone during a ceremony and record everything you see. It's your memories. I think a bride and groom can ask their guests not to record the event. But I think they should know that people might be offended by that and might not have as good a time.
Emily: Send us your questions about shifting etiquette in the online age. Our address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Farhad: You can also join our Facebook page where we carry on the conversation throughout the week. Go to www.Facebook.com/digitalmanners.
Emily: And we'll talk to you next time on Manners for the Digital Age.

The key to an allergy-free diet is to avoid all foods or products containing the food to which you are allergic. If you are allergic to peanuts, you will need to avoid peanuts and foods that contain peanuts. It is necessary to read all food labels.
In addition to peanuts, avoid foods that contain any of the following ingredients:
Artificial nuts (Nu-Nuts)
Beer nuts
Ground nuts
Mixed nuts
Monkey nuts
Peanut butter
Peanut flour
Peanut oil
These foods may also contain peanuts:
African, Chinese, Mexican, Thai, and other ethnic dishes
Baked goods
Chili, spaghetti sauce
Egg rolls
Enchilada sauce
Flavoring (natural and artificial)
Hydrolyzed plant protein
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
Ice creams, frozen yogurts, Tofutti
These food sources may also contain peanuts:
Studies show that most people with allergies can safely eat foods containing peanut oil -- except peanut oil that is cold pressed, expressed, or expelled.
Ethnic foods, commercially prepared baked goods, and candy can be cross-contaminated with peanuts since peanuts are frequently used in these types of foods.
Peanut butter and/or peanut flour have been used in homemade chili and spaghetti sauce as thickeners.
Hydrolyzed plant and vegetable protein may be from peanuts in imported foods. (These proteins are usually from soy in the U.S.)

LONDON, January 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NHS Alliance Chair Dr Michael Dixon has acknowledged that the job of implementing a fully integrated health service is far from over.(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121011/567198-a ) Dr Dixon was speaking exclusively to the ITN Healthcare Channel ahead of the NHS Alliance Annual Conference and declared that his role in driving through clinical commissioning was far from over. He said: "Our mission is not accomplished in terms of making the big differences in patient services it needs to make. We still need to win the argument with a lot of frontline clinicians and patients as to why it's important." "We need to create an altruistic meeting of clinicians and patients who see their role as less of a service and more of a partnership. A partnership where everyone is creating health care services," he added. Dr Dixon also took time to reflect on the origins of clinical commissioning from his personal experience. "There was a lot of frustration and anger from frontline clinicians and patients that they had so little say. Primary care saw itself as a Cinderella and many of us frontline GPs and our patients said we knew how things could be improved. That was the birth of commissioning."

Bryan Doherty bends the bass into something rarely heard, but entirely worth the price of admission." So says All Music Guide, and they're right: Much like Doherty's brilliant bass playing, his band Hood Smoke blends soul and pop a la Rufus, David Byrne or The Band, while managing to sound unique. Hood Smoke's line-up reads like a "who's who" of Chicago music masters, including Michael Caskey on drums, Chris Siebold on guitar, Rob Clearfield on keys and singer Sarah Marie Young (Quincy Jones, Paco de Lucia.) Young's voice will no doubt turn heads with its uncanny combination of grit and precision. Her voice and her bandmates' undeniable chops make Hood Smoke's album, Laid Up In Ordinary, a must-hear release of 2013.

The release of Bipasha Basu-starrer "Creature 3D", a sci-fi thriller, has been delayed till Sep 12 due to work on visual effects. The makers are also avoiding a clash with "Singham Returns".
Produced by T-Series, "Creature 3D" is directed by Vikram Bhatt. After "Haunted - 3D" and "Raaz 3", Bhatt has directed another 3D film that will scare the audience with a creature, which is created using VFX.
"Vikram is working on the post-production of the film since there is a lot of VFX work to be done. He has shot it on par with international standards and this will be a treat for the Indian audiences," Bhushan Kumar said in a statement.
"We have chalked our promotional plans and have taken a mutual decision with our distributors to postpone the release of the film. Now, the film hits screens on Sep 12," he added.
Bhatt also says that the delay of the film is due to the VFX work.
"It's a mega-budget film for both Bhushan and me. We had to push forward the release by two weeks because Ajay Devgn's 'Singham Returns' opens on Aug 15 and we didn't want to come within a week of its release," he said.
The film will mark the debut of actor Imran Abbas.

Lisa Clements, wife of slain Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, told CNN's Anderson Cooper she could be enraged over the clerical error that allowed the man accused of killing her husband to get out of prison early — but it wouldn't do any good.
"That wouldn't bring Tom back," Lisa Clements said on "Anderson Cooper 360" Thursday. "Then my life is lost in that, so I choose not to make it a focus."
Lisa Clements was joined on the broadcast by daughters Sara and Rachel.
"He was so much more than his career and work accomplishments," said Sara Clements. "He was my hero."
Tom Clements was shot to death when he answered the door of his home March 19. The man accused of killing Clements was shot to death during a shootout with Texas authorities March 21.

Cooper did not use the suspect's name during the broadcast.
"History should not remember the name of the young man accused of killing Clements," Cooper said.
Lisa Clements said that while she knows the name of Evan Ebel, she will never utter it.
"I don't want to participate in any way ... in creating fame so that everyone in the world knows the name of person who murdered Tom but they don't know Tom," she said.
The family said they were deeply touched by the outpouring from so many strangers who sent their condolences.
Rachel Clements said she could not allow herself to dwell on anything but the happy memories of her father.
"I have to choose to not think about the way he died," she said. "I just have to choose to not even go there. I think it could just take you over."
At Tom Clements' public memorial service March 25 in Colorado Springs, Lisa Clements said she and her two daughters would pray for the family of the man who killed her husband.
"Tom believed in redemption, in the ability of the human heart to be changed," she said then.
"We pray for forgiveness and peace for the family of the man suspected of taking Tom's life, and we pray every day for forgiveness and peace in our own hearts."

Reviews of Durham Regent
I visited this facility
Our visit with Durham Regent was good. We dealt with the marketing director who was helpful. My friend was looking at a one-bedroom unit. They had a room with exercise equipment, and it was all a good value for the cost.
I visited this facility
Durham Regent seemed fine, and I'm satisfied. The staff and rooms are fine and the food is adequate.
I visited this facility
Durham Regent was a little rundown and not as clean and neat as the other ones. The carpet seemed dirty and needs to be replaced. However, they had a wide range of activities there, and the staff was great and very helpful.
I am/was a resident of this facility
I lived at Durham Regent for 10 months; it was terrible. The food tasted OK, but it was not good for seniors. It was too salty. It was inappropriate at times. They had regular meetings for feedback, and no matter what you said, nothing ever changed. The room was fine, but the bathroom was not attached to the bedroom. There was no microwave or oven. It was a small apartment size. Also, the key to my door didn't fit the outside door, so when I went out on my patio, I couldn't get back in with my key. The maintenance girl was horrible. The activities were OK for awhile, but then the managers changed a lot, so the activities changed as well. The overall atmosphere was not great. People complained a lot, but nothing ever changed.
Hi, I'm Katie, I'm writing from Holiday Home Office. I'm so very sorry to hear you had a negative experience at Durham Regent. I've sent your feedback on to our Resident Relations department for their review, particularly as it involves food service, maintenance, and the lack of listening. If you have anything to add, you're welcome to call them as well at 1-800-370-8331. Thanks,
I visited this facility
I had a good experience during my visit at Durham Regent. Cindy was very friendly and took me on a tour of the facility. It was a good and thorough tour. It was clean, and the rooms were of good size. The dining room was set up for four persons per table with tablecloths. They had a viewing room with a large TV which was good because my dad likes sports as much as I do.
I visited this facility
The apartments at Durham Regent are excellent. It has three stories. The meals are all inclusive. There is a health care service that you can purchase. The food is excellent. The dining area is beautiful and large, and I think they have a little over 100 or 120 residents on that site. It has a recreation room, a library, an exercise room, an on site church, a beauty parlor, and a small store. They have activities. They are playing Wii bowling, watching movies, and reading.
I visited this facility
Durham Regent was very nice. The staff is excellent and extremely helpful. They showed me some rooms. They have bus transportation 3 or 4 times a week to take people to shopping, hairdressers, and doctor's appointments. Transportation is really not a problem. The dining room is very nice with multiple tables for all the guests. The facility was nice and had all kinds of nice stuff. They have their own activity program, too.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Durham Regent is close to where we live. It's close to all the places my dad needs to go for his follow up appointment. He has a simple apartment. He likes the age group because there are a lot of veterans here. Legacy helps care for the residents. Food is one of the drawback, they don't serve his diet but he can walk around it. It's not completely salt free but it's not a bad diet either. They also serve a good variety of fresh foods to choose from. My dad likes the place.
I visited this facility
I took a tour at Durham Regent and I thought that the place is actually pretty nice. I was looking for my mom and I think this facility is nice. It was very convenient to where she wanted to be and where she is right now, so she wouldn't have to re-learn an area. I really like it.
I visited this facility
Durham Regent, the facility itself, was fine. I was just surprised that there were so many people in wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. They had some cottages where meals were not required, but I was surprised that meals were required and included. The staff was very friendly. As far as the cleanliness, the friendliness, and so forth, they're fine, but it's not what I need right now. I'm just not interested.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Staff were always pleasant and prompt. The building and grounds are very, very nice. Beautiful, modern interiors, very well-maintained individual residences, and professional gardens. The food wasn't very good, but other amenities were excellent. Lots of activities and very active seniors who actually participate and interact with one another, making for a great community. Location was excellent also, as many attractions like zoos and museums are very nearby.
One thing to remember about this place is that they only provide very limited care of the sick. People who live here must be reasonably healthy, and many people are motivated to hide their degenerative illnesses, lest they be asked to leave.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
The facility is clean, the rooms are nice, the staff is dedicated and seems to really listen to residents. They especially take care of residents during emergency situations, like power outages, severe cold, or outbreak of influenza. The food is good but not great, and that is the main complaint. There are a lot of activities for residents. It's a nice place to be.
