We were eating pizza — thin crust perfectly crisp, topped with ooey gooey decadent cheesy goodness that was just the right degree of meltiness.
As our eyes rolled back in our heads in pizza ecstasy, my friend Tara said she had recently read that the sign of a culture in decline is its glorification of its cuisine and deification of its chefs.

The birth of a baby boy to Charles and Hannah Jewel Hardin in Milton, in 1820 might have escaped the notice of Trimble County history buffs had it not been for a random search on the internet by Milton Mayor Denny Jackson a few years back. While searching to see what hits might turn up by keying-in "Trimble County" on his computer, Jackson came across a biographical note that began with the following:
"HARDIN, Charles Henry, governor of Missouri (1875-1877), born in Trimble County, Kentucky, in Milton, 15 July, 1820."

Milton firemen and Emergency Medical people had a pitch-in Halloween supper and party Saturday night. They played a game called "bag-it" where three bags with wearing apparel were passed around to the players. When the music stopped, the person with the bag had to take out an article of clothing and put it on. Without a doubt, it was a festive occasion, one jolly well worth a niche in memory.

Tachycardia is a dangerously rapid heartbeat, arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat and dead is no heartbeat at all — and I had all three recently.
That may be a slight exaggeration and a bit of melodrama, but the truth is I experienced severe panic recently.
I lost my camera.
And by "my camera" I mean the one the Chronicle gave me to use and not mine to keep.

When I was a kid we used to listen to a record album of silly songs.
One song went: "Glory, glory, hallelujah. Teacher hit me with a ruler. She bopped me on the bean with a rotten tangerine…."

Big Mama's House:Like Father, Like Son
The franchise continues to go down hill with this third installment. They should've stopped at number 2. The acting was terrible, the plot was terrible, and it seemed like it was hastily thrown together.
I only kept watching it because I thought that maybe, just maybe, there would be some funny parts, but no.
It was a severe disappointment.

Indian Himalaya Mountain Partnership
- Date submitted: 31 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Indian Himalaya Mountain Partnership
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionAs Mountain Partnership member from Indian Himalayan region please find below our comments / suggestion for Rio+ conference: Since 1992, when chapter 13 on mountains as fragile ecosystems was introduced in Agenda 21, the demand for natural goods and ecosystem services from mountains have grown considerably. Moreover, the ability of mountain ecosystems to provide such essential goods and services for all of humanity is increasingly under threat due to climate change, in-discriminate development, poor governance and lack of appropriate financing in this region. As Mountain Partnership members we recognize that despite the progress that has been made in promoting sustainable development of mountain regions, national and international development agendas still treat mountains, if at all, as marginal environments. As a result, poverty rates are higher than in non-mountain areas, therefore, the people are most vulnerable to climatic changes, poor development practices and lesser livelihood opportunities. In the context of a Green Economy, the region is looking for cautiously chosen opportunities for investments by interested players and they could in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, agro-forestry, water management technologies and other similar ecosystem goods and services. In this context innovative institutional arrangements are urgently required to trigger best governance models and decision support systems aiming at both the integration of the social, environmental and economic capital at all scales in the mountain regions, as well as the actual mainstreaming of mountains into overall national development and conservation processes. Also enhancing the global political commitment that translates into increased investments tailored to mountain regions will directly benefit poor mountain communities and indirectly humanity as a whole. Hence, sustainable mountain development, notably through integrated and socially inclusive policies, livelihood opportunities, environment governance models, appropriate green technologies, should have a prominent place in the Rio 2012 agenda and in particular in its final declaration. To achieve these ends strong and united advocacy for mountain issues with tangible results in future UNCSD negotiations is essential.

U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez visited Wisconsin as part of a Midwest stop on Wednesday, Dec. 4. Secretary Perez visited Gateway Technical College in Racine to follow up on the innovative training programs planned as a result of Labor's recent $23.1 million grant to the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS), announced in September.
Moraine Park Technical College is receiving $995,662 as part of the grant program's statewide investment in Information Technology (IT) career pathways, which develops advanced IT competencies to support every sector of the state's economy, including business, health care, hospitality, manufacturing and others.
The successful grant application is the third installment of a multi-year, nearly $2 billion federal community college initiative designed to increase credential attainment in high-priority economic sectors. In the previous round, the technical colleges won an $18.3 million grant to expand innovative programs that produce high-skilled workers in advanced manufacturing.
"We were thrilled to provide this grant, because it was earned," Secretary Perez told a panel of employers, students and WTCS leaders on Wednesday."You have written the book— that's why you won one of the largest grants."
"Moraine Park is proud to be part of the collaboration with the WTCS," Sheila Ruhland, Moraine Park Technical College president, said. "I know these funds will go a long way to provide our students and students across our state with new opportunities."
Wisconsin's technical colleges received one of the largest single awards and the collaboration is one of the few applicants to successfully receive back-to-back grants. The grant to Moraine Park Technical College will fund additional courses within its current IT program offerings and create new certificates in digital media and network security.

Saturday's Duckcast
Friday, Oct. 5, 5 p.m. PT
It may seem hard to believe, but tomorrow's game against Pac-12 North foe Washington marks the midpoint of Oregon's 2012 regular season. At stake for the No. 2 Ducks is a chance to head into thier bye week with an unblemished record ahead of the first BCS rankings of the season and extend the longest winning streak in the Oregon/UW rivalry in the process (currently at eight games). For the weekly weather update, here's AMS Vice President Bobby Corser with his Duck Cast:
"The Oregon Ducks return home this week as they welcome in the Washington Huskies. We all know this rivalry is very intense. You can look at a few moments, in a handful of games, that have shaped this series and make it a big game each year. Every week, we get to see a play that helped create what we know Oregon Football to be to this day, Kenny Wheaton's Pick 6. The freshman stepped in front of a pass and took it back to seal the win against the Dawgs. That day in 1994 was beautiful, and this Saturday will be no different. Sunny skies will dominate the landscape. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s as the festivities around the stadium get going. The temperature at kickoff will be in the mid 60s and steadily falling as the game continues. A light North wind will make it feel a few degrees cooler. If you're going to game, dress for warm weather in the afternoon, but prepare for cold temperatures during the game. Make sure to wear yellow and cheer on the boys. Go Ducks!"
Saturday's game will be televised nationally on ESPN with the pregame show starting at 7:30 p.m PT (7:36 p.m. kickoff). Comcast channels 35 (SD) and 735 (HD), DirecTV channel 206 (SD/HD) and Dish Network channel 140 (SD/HD).

Toespraak Minister Reynders op de conferentie "Children's rights and business"
- deze toespraak werd in het Engels gehouden -
Conference 'children's rights and business'
Monday 3 December 2012, Egmont Palace, Brussels
Opening remarks by H.E. Mr Didier Reynders,
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Foreign Trade and European Affairs
Her Royal Highness Princess Mathilde,
Madam Chair,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
First, let me express my delight at being able to welcome you all today in the Egmont Palace for this important event dedicated to Children's rights, and more specifically to how Business can contribute to their promotion and protection.
Since I took charge of the Foreign Affairs Department a year ago exactly, the buildings of my ministry in general, and the Palace in particular, have been hosting a series of conferences, roundtables, seminars and workshops dedicated to the rights and dignity of the human person in all its aspects: freedom of expression, protection of minorities, international humanitarian law, equal opportunity, labor standards, LGBT rights...
Over the same period of time, I also had the occasion to convene in the same rooms multiple gatherings involving federations of industries, business councils and chambers of commerce, true to my firm belief that trade and investment will have a key part to play in the economic, social and jobs recovery, not only in Belgium and Europe, but also worldwide.
In Brussels thus, but also in Geneva, in New York and elsewhere, I have been calling simultaneously for more human rights and more free movement of goods, services and capital. Would there be any contradiction there as some seem to believe? Is there any incompatibility? Maybe a sign of some bipolar political disorder?
The answer is "certainly not". Quite the opposite, actually! Indeed, trade and economic integration have been the most powerful vectors for peace, development and welfare in the world over the past 75 years, singularly through the internal market in Europe, and will be central in helping many more developing nations progress on the path of democracy and the respect of human liberties, the way Korea, Southeast Asia, Latin America or Central Europe have over the past few decades.
This is why I see my responsibilities as Foreign Minister and as Minister of Foreign Trade as complementary and even mutually reinforcing. The promotion and protection of human rights and of the rule of law are also key for the business climate. And economic progress is also contributing to the enhancement of human rights.
Of course, not every trade is sacred, not every trade is good… But here also, the past twenty years have seen a tectonic change in the way the industry at large commits to promoting essential rights, understanding that Corporate Social Responsibility, transparency, accountability and the promotion of high standards are not merely burdens imposed on business, or a killer of shareholder value, but the keys to sustainable and lasting productivity and return on capital.
Cooperation between business, non-profit and government has to become the virtuous triangle of international growth and development. I am therefore delighted with my Department's involvement as focal point for the UN Global Compact Belgium, as I am proud of what our diplomacy is achieving in the framework of the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Corporations, of the Kimberley Process and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) or at the United Nations. I had for instance the privilege to host last September in the margin of the Ministerial week at the United Nations in New York a successful event on Transparency, Sustainable Development and Natural Resources. Together with other partners, Belgium is planning to table during this session of the General Assembly a draft resolution on this topic.
All this, of course, without mentioning what we have achieved together with our EU partners in the same fields and in many other domains related to civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.
Yes, human rights are at the center of the Belgian Foreign Policy and, as I had the privilege to state last year on the occasion of international human rights day, campaigning for children's rights is a priority within this priority. Belgium has for instance insisted on the inclusion of specific actions on children's rights in the EU Strategic Framework and Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy that was adopted on 25 June 2012. Our country will also do its share of the work to put these actions into reality.
Belgium is signatory to all UN international instruments and conventions protecting the children's rights. The ratification process of the new Third Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child establishing a set of communications procedures is running its course as we speak and I am optimistic that Belgium will ratify in the near future. But beyond that, through its development cooperation programs and through various initiatives, our country supports the implementation of children's rights.
Is that enough?
Absolutely not.
As a State, or even as a group of states if you consider the EU as a whole, you need to convince your citizens to be part or even to be an actor of the process when you try to achieve a goal. This is also true for the Business community.
Corporate social responsibility is a relatively new concept but it has been gaining importance fast as a way for companies to control the impact on their environment. A lot of initiatives and instruments have been set up either by the private sector itself, or by public actors to reinforce the development of Corporate Social Responsibility.
The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights developed by Mr. John Ruggie, Special representative of the Secretary General of the UN, are one of the most recent and effective instruments conceived to help companies to take the Human Rights dimension into account.
These Guiding Principles are built upon the United Nations framework: Protect, Respect, Remedy… Governments have the obligation to protect their citizens, but companies also have to commit to respect human rights, both having to act together in order to rectify problems arising where they operate.
In the introduction of the UN guiding principles, one can read:
"Business companies should act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and to address adverse impacts with which they are involved".
The UN guiding principles are an important and useful tool at the disposal of companies. But this tool was not sufficient in itself to efficiently guarantee children's rights. Important stakeholders, like UNICEF, Global Compact and Save the Children, have therefore decided to launch a new initiative called "Children's rights and Business principles". These principles are designed to serve as the first comprehensive instrument dedicated to guiding companies in their action to respect and support the rights of children.
These guidelines will be at the core of the discussion of the conference today. It will be a major opportunity to hear experts who will explain how companies can implement these principles and why they should do it. It is not a question of philanthropy but, as I already mentioned, part of the best way a company can develop its sustainability in the long run. I am thus particularly happy that this conference can count on the participation of a lot of Belgian and international business representatives who are already convinced of the necessity to implement these principles in their various companies and who want to exchange their best practices.
But we should also recognize that it is sometimes quite difficult for a company to ensure that its supply chain is totally free of any risk. When a product is made in a remote country through various suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, it is not always an easy task to detect the problems. There is also a responsibility of local governments to control how local companies act as far as children's rights are concerned. Companies should not automatically and systematically been blamed for any problem that would arise in their supply chain. But of course, the more attentive these companies will be to the issue, the better children's rights will be protected.
It is also important that the same criteria for Corporate Social Responsibility policy are implemented by the major stakeholders, private and public, in order to avoid a distorted global playing field. Responsibilities are thus shared among governments and companies. Let us work together for a better world for children, one in which they should stop being the usual victims when it comes to human rights violations. I am sure that this conference will contribute to this simple but so fundamental goal.
I thank you all for your commitments and wish you productive exchanges during today's conference.
I thank you for your attention.

Log Haven has arranged a 'fright night' up Millcreek Canyon, Utah's own haunted forest of sorts. The usually romantic restaurant will transform into the "Haunted Haven" Oct.29-31 featuring a fiendish feast, creepy cocktails and tarot card readings by Margo Provost.
The dinner-for-two menu features all sorts of goulish, gourmet delights including 'Bloody Eyeballs on Worm' (Lamb meatballs and heirloom tomatoes) and steak with anti-vampire potatoes (garlic?) and a bloody red wine-fungus swamp sauce. Who knew something so delicious could be so....gross. (read the full menu below)
Cocktails include the 'zombie', the 'dark spirit' and Uinta Brewing Punk'n Harvest Pumpkin Ale.
The 1922 silent horror film, Nosferatu, will also be playing. Nosferatu is an unauthorized German adaption of Bram Stoker's Dracula with a few tweaks (names changed).
Reservations are highly recommended and can be made here.
...just watch out for the headless horseman.

New Releases – Rodrigo y Gabriela '9 Dead Alive' & Old 97's 'Most Messed Up'
Rodrigo y Gabriela play face to face, guitar versus guitar, bursting with melodic energy and rhythmic invention on their new album '9 Dead Alive'. Their first record in 5 years celebrates individuals whose contributions to human rights, literature, and philosophy are still felt in the 21st century. Watch them play Somnium (inspired by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz: 1651 – 1695) and Torito (inspired by animals and nature) live at Red Rocks. Americana legends Old 97's return with their new album 'Most Messed Up' featuring guest appearances from Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) and Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case) on lap-steel. The record is a raucous 12-track meditation on 20 years in music which, through Rhett Miller's lyrics, dives into deep wounds and emotional scars. See their Summer North American tour dates here.

Answering a double need, for cheap buildings and a use for the huge surplus of shipping containers, container architecture is going mainstream.
The twin spires of Granary Row. Photos by Adam Finkle.
You don't expect corporate America to set a greening trend. But the Starbucks drive-through in South Salt Lake (3300 S. West Temple), is the third location in the nation built from recycled shipping containers. It would look at home at Granary Row, an experiment in urbanism that stretched along the center strip of 700 South between 300 West and 400 West last summer. Granary Row demonstrated a sustainable option for revitalizing Salt Lake City's industrial west side. (The units have been stored to be reused when Granary Row reopens again spring. ) The Row included a performance stage, pop-up retail shops, galleries and a beer garden. Nearly everything was housed in recycled containers.
Community advocates promote Granary Row as a glimpse of a sustainable inner-city design—walkable, affordable and innovative. Using shipping containers just made sense for James Alfandre, executive director of the Kentlands Initiative, a nonprofit urban planning group. "All in all, with buying these and building them out, it was $10,000 per unit. We sourced them locally, had them here in a day and rehabbed them within a week."
As an inanimate object, a shipping container has a fairly appealing life—traveling the world over, by land and sea, packed with exotic wares. However, after two decades, most are laid to rest—and rust.
Jeff White, a designer, contractor, realtor and handyman is among several Utah-based developers who are modifying shipping containers into affordable, green-minded housing and commercial spaces for so-called micro venture businesses.
"This isn't for everyone," he says. "It's something for green-minded people, those of us—55 percent of Americans—living by themselves and for [housing] the underserved in our community."
These small shipping container dwellings will sell for $135,000 to $150,000, White says, which stands in stark contrast to LEED-certified homes ranging from $400,000 to $600,000. White looks to the future of green architecture, and he sees the viability of modular construction with shipping container homes to save money and as temporary housing in disaster relief situations. He hopes for varied uses for the structures throughout the city as public restrooms in public spaces like parks, along with commercial projects like Granary Row.
With the wheels rolling on this green architecture trend, the low cost of entry and local expertise on the rise, this sustainable innovation will be around longer than the typical 20-year "useful" life of a shipping container.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lighthousekat54 This is great ideal My daughter and I have been trying to come up with ideals on what to do the kitchen in and we both love owls and we both bake this is a great ideal not only for decorating but keeping the kitchen clutter proof. May 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pearl007 Great for my coffee bar at home! I purchased these and the owl measuring spoons to add some cute touches to my coffee bar corner at home. I'll never actually use the items, but I definitely love how cute they are! The largest owl actually chipped during shipping, but World Market was fair enough to offer to ship me a full replacement or a full refund. Great service! November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SushiMojito TOO CUTE! What a perfectly sweet addition to my kitchen! Love love love! April 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by grayson11 Unbelievably Adorable! These measuring cups are a gift for someone else. But, not being able to resist temptation, I opened the box to find three adorable owls by the names of Barney, Gus, and Ollie nestled inside. She will love them. November 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by whittykaye so cute these are adorable. i more so plan on using them as decoration. the big one was chipped when i took it out of the box so i was a little sad but i don't want to deal with the hassle of returning it and waiting for another to come so i guess i can deal with it. May 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by les777 Cute for on the counter! I bought these for my counter not to actually use. Not sure how accurate the measurements are in the cups. April 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wilma67 Unique owls measuring tools The cuteness of these owls have made it easy to overlook the fact that Gus' 1/4 cup head does not sit well on its 1/3 cup body. The set was a gift from my daughter. They make a great addition to my kitchen owls collection. January 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kfjf Not practical for everyday use. Very cute but very delicate; chips and breaks easily. More for decoration than for what they were intended. October 21, 2014

I downloaded "tnshadow" and "tnshadow2" plug-ins from the official site and placed the DLLs in the Plugins folder. However when I clicked "RegSvr32" (in the Advanced > Plug-ins window)and chose the DLLs, nothing happened. I tried "AutoReg" and "Re-Scan" as well; but none of the plug-ins were shown (the Plug-ins dialog remained empty). Could anyone help me out? Thank you very much!

An editor-approved list of what to read next
On the premise that life is full of disasters and discontents, Lamott has written a charmingly irreverent how-to book based on what she calls "the three essential prayers." First, identify your Higher Power (could be a vague sense of the Good or the Light, or Lamott's favorite, "this sweet brown-eyed Jew who will want you to get glasses of water for everyone and then come to the beach for some nice fish"). Ask for help. Show a little appreciation. ("God's idea of a good time is watching you pick up litter.") Take a moment for awe. Good things will follow. Amen. —Amanda Lovell

For anyone who isn't already aware of Alice Munro's astonishing brilliance, this new collection will open up endless possibilities of what a short story can do—to our hearts, our sense of the world, our hunger for empathy and insight. For those already in the Munro cult, Dear Lifeoffers familiar pleasures as well as surprises: As always, the locations are palpable (small towns near Lake Huron in Canada), but the time frame is deliberately vague (it could be the '50s or today), amplifying the truth that our relations to one another, the things we run to and flee, remain constant as the decades rumble by. —Elaina Richardson
Think more? Don't we really need to stop thinking? Not according to this witty Frenchman, who posits that our sex drive stems, at least in part, from existential loneliness; who flushes our fetishes out of the closet, asks subversive questions ("Would it really be possible to trust anyone who never showed any interest at all in being unfaithful?") and touts a drug-free cure for impotence (start seeing performance anxiety as "an evolved form of kindness"). Even if our sexual partners don't excite us, this writer's piquant prose will. —Cathleen Medwick
When 44-year-old Barry Fairbrother drops dead of a brain aneurysm in the parking lot of his country club, it isn't only his wife and children who are stricken. His empty seat on the parish council becomes a beacon for all manner of deceit, dysfunction and duplicity. The inner lives of the people of Pagford may be grim, but Rowling's central idea is a beautiful one: that we are all connected; that just as there is a ripple effect when the smallest of stones is cast into a river, the world invisibly shifts to accommodate a loss.—Dani Shapiro
Perhaps the most satisfying surprise in these pages: Liz and Dick played a lot of Yahtzee. No, that's not a euphemism. There's plenty of whoopee, too: Life with wife Elizabeth Taylor toggled between the homely (family game nights) and the fabulous (hot make-up sex after epic quarrels; wingdings with the Rothschilds). The Welsh coal miner's son was besotted with his E., but too often he was just plain drunk. The book's tedious bits—e.g., journal entries from the teen years—are more than made up for by celebrity dish, candid accounts of demon battling and lyrical passages of Dylan Thomas–ish charm. The broody Burton was ambivalent about acting and really wanted to be a writer. He was. —Judith Stone
As readers of the New Yorker know, Cursing Mommy is the ever-hopeful housewife who embraces the glorious "journey" of life one moment, only to be clobbered by it the next. Whether making crafts or trying to zip a suitcase, she always ends up flat on her face, shrieking profanities in capital letters. In this new novel, Frazier has surrounded our girl with a richly disturbing world, a lively, nutsy plot and ample opportunities to share her philosophy: Life is at once a gift and too f****** much. Cheers, Cursing Mommy, in all your brave, potty-mouthed perfection.—Jenny Allen

Is it time for Carrie Bradshaw to hang up her Manolos?
Two years have passed since the first feature film, two years since Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) married Big (Chris Noth) and went off into the sunset with him. Now should be Happily Ever After, except Carrie isn't happy, because Big likes to stay home, order take-out and watch TV. These are her problems. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is struggling with motherhood. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has hit the glass ceiling at work and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) is heading kicking and screaming into menopause. Clearly the girls need a change of air. That comes courtesy of a rich Arab sheik who engages Samantha to do some PR work for him in Abu Dhabi. So with barely a nod to the economic crisis, the gals pack their bags (oh so many bags) and head off on the private jet for a week of cocktails and camaraderie.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Before the oohs and ahs over the luxury hotel, private limos and personal butlers in the desert, come the oohs and ahs over the wedding of Stanford Blatch and Anthony Marantino (Willie Garson and Mario Cantone), who sadly, barely rate much more than a line of dialogue each. The wedding serves as an excuse for writer/director Michael Patrick King to make every obvious gay joke possible, to stuff the screen with a lavish production number featuring Liza Minnelli no less, and to show off his four heroines in their natural habitat of designer gowns and attendant fawning males. But somehow I wasn't buying it anymore. The witticisms and zingers of the TV show have evolved into stale banter and forced one-liners. I cringed watching Carrie and Big "flirt" and cringed even more when Carrie topped a men's tuxedo with 80's crimped hair and some awful tiara thing that made her look like one of the witches from "Macbeth" via Bob Mackie.
And perhaps I'm being overly sensitive, but did every gay guy in the movie have to be a fashion-forward style maven who adores shopping? Give me a break.
I am the target audience for this film, in that I am over 40, have children and struggle with demands of marriage, motherhood and career. I admittedly do not possess the shopping gene and feel pain just seeing all those high heels, but I am a huge fan of the TV show, enjoyed the first film and was looking forward to spending time with these four women again. My first shock was seeing how they had aged. (Do I really have all those laugh lines too??). Not that there's anything wrong with aging. But the film asks us to accept that Carrie can still get away with micro-minis and four inch heels . . . and that Samantha at 52 can still attract a 20-something hottie from across the room. As I said, I'm not buying it.
Arriving in Abu Dhabi, the women react with shock and awe to their extravagant, luxurious surroundings and I felt my jaw ache with all the tight stretched faces and forced smiles. The girlish giddiness was starting to grate. Jokes about Spanx, Samantha's sex drive and hot flashes seemed old and stale. The reappearance of Aidan (John Corbett) tempting Carrie from her dream marriage was unimaginative, a retread of old familiar ground providing barely a frisson or hint of danger.
A couple of scenes made me laugh . . . a funny slow motion scene of a well-endowed nanny who gives Charlotte pause was reminiscent of the daring of the TV series. Charlotte and Miranda having a heart to heart about being mothers was a well-written scene and hit home. Even the girls singing "I Am Woman" at a karaoke bar stirred up the right amount of you-go-girl pride.
But it just wasn't enough.
Michael Patrick King has said that he wanted to offer escapism with this film and have it be a party for all involved. But frivolity and excess can only get you so far. It's hard to empathize with Carrie in this film, with her Park Avenue address, ridiculous clothing and walk-in closet the size of a studio apartment. And the problems of four over-privileged fashionistas in a repressed Arab Emirate don't amount to a hill of beans when the only socio-political comment comes via a ridiculous scene of sister-bonding and borrowed burkas.

Tigers Look To Extend Win Streak At Binghamton; Ayres Provides Update #2
WEEKEND LINKS: FREE LIVE VIDEO l PRINCETON WRESTLING TWITTER
The undefeated Princeton wrestling team will look to extend its win streak to three when it makes its second trip to Binghamton in a month for a Saturday afternoon (1) dual match with the Bearcats.
Princeton (2-0) is coming off a sweep of both EIWA rivals Drexel and Army at the 2013 Grapple at the Garden last weekend. Sophomore heavyweight Cole Lampman clinched both victories with one-point wins; head coach Chris Ayres talks about Lampman's performance, as well as a full update on the program, in the interview above. (Please note that the interview is not available if you receive this release via email; it must be accessed through GoPrincetonTigers.com)
The Tigers also got strong days from the freshman duo of Jordan Laster (133) and Brett Harner (174). Laster currently shares the team lead with 11 victories, while Harner was a finalist at the Navy Invitational and has 10 wins on the year. Both went unbeaten at Madison Square Garden, while classmate Matthew Gancayco picked up a win at 157.
The top freshman last season, Scott Gibbons, made his return last weekend and split a pair of matches at the Garden. He picked up a key win over Drexel, and classmate Abe Ayala had a crucial late win over Army that broke a 15-15 tie.
Princeton will try to build on that momentum Saturday when it heads to Binghamton, site of the season-opening Bearcat Open. Binghamton is 1-2 on the season, though it is coming off a victory over George Mason. The Bearcats have gotten a strong start from freshman Jack McKeever, who has 19 victories at 174 pounds.
Following the Binghamton match, Princeton will turn its full focus to the Dec. 14 "Celebration of New Jersey Wrestling," when the Tigers welcome back all former New Jersey state champions during a 5 pm matchup with local rival Rutgers.
Any former state champions who would like to be involved in the event can register here.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shopper Great foyer table I've placed this table near my entry way. The size is perfect. The color is dark enough to fit my scheme. The only thing not perfect with this table is that the material does not look as durable. Only time will tell if this is true. September 2, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by BaldMaleNurse Good deal but color not accurate I bought the table thinking that it would match the rest of my espresso-colored furniture. The color is nothing close to espresso; it's just medium brown. I'd love to keep it because it's a good deal for the table, but I have to return it because of the color. July 15, 2011

Laure Aubert is a landscape architect working in Germany who attended the 2011 IFLA Congress in Zurich. Laure interviewed various Congress attendees which we will feature over the next two weeks.
Bruno Marques is responsible organizer of the upcoming EFLA Regional Congress "Mind the Gap. Landscapes for a New Era".and answers on behalf the Estonian Landscape Architects" Union. The EFLA Regional Congress is being held in Tallinn-Estonia, from 2-4 November.
Why was it important for you to attend the IFLA Congress?
The importance of attending the IFLA World Congress in Zürich relies in the biggest event of our profession that gathers professionals from all over the globe, with different backgrounds, different cultures, but at the same time connected by only one thing: the profession. I think these events are really important, for one hand to learn something new and to see what exciting has been done over the last years in the field, for other hand to reunite with friends and colleagues. In Zurich, I especially enjoyed the amazing organization, the wide range of events and above all, to see lots of students. That gives me some trust that our profession will continue to exist and develop in the future.

Where do in-sourcing customers come from?Of the nearly 900 people who responded to an exclusive survey, most answered that maintaining other city departments' fleets was on the top of the list These fleets might include fire, police, or other maintenance vehicles. Source; PUBLIC WORKS
Why don't you do in-sourcing?Many fleet maintenance departments are stretched too thin to be able to do any kind of in-sourcing. Most respondents (70%) who do in-sourcing charge time and materials costs for their work. Source: PUBLIC WORKS

Centralized fleet maintenance is fairly new here in Boston," said David Higgins, director of fleet maintenance for the city's Central Fleet Maintenance (CFM) division of the Department of Public Works.
In the late 1990s, city administrators made the decision to consolidate the fleet maintenance function from several departments into one, and in 1997 hired Higgins away from a fleet position in Concord, N.H., to head CFM. "Yours truly was appointed chief cook and bottle washer," said Higgins. "We are the dealer of vehicles and trucks to the city, but we don't handle fire and police equipment.
"From 1997 to today we have achieved a number of milestones," he said. "For one, we have gone to a totally computerized system, called Fleet Focus by Maximus, that tracks everything from repair orders to parts and does labor statistics."
One of Higgins' first major tasks was to negotiate "impact bargaining," or changes in job descriptions, with the labor unions involved. "I tried to instill in them that it would be us working together, not them working for me," said Higgins.
The impact bargaining phase took nine months. "I would go down and talk to the guys in the shop myself," said Higgins. "Being an old wrench-turner myself, I found that was more productive than just sending out computer print-outs."
A big was to get people accustomed to providing service to other departments. "Some highly capable people had only been responsible for their own departments," said Higgins. 'When I communicated to them that they're a service entity, they'd look at me like I'd fallen off another planet."
Prior to the consolidation, there was no electronic tracking of equipment. "It was done on an individual basis, by each department," said Higgins.
Higgins had met the founder of a company called Prototype, which wrote a vehicle maintenance information system called EMS. That led to the software called Fleet Focus, which Higgins uses today. "I liked it," he said. "It was one of the few types of that software that had excellent customer support."
Equipment replacement was another problem—and Higgins has solved it. "When I took charge in 1997, the aging fleet needed to be upgraded," said Higgins. Prior to Higgins' appointment, the city had been seeking to upgrade trucks with a "glider kit" program. With that, all truck components are replaced except the driveline. The truck gets a new body, cab, electrical system, and frame rails.
The program had some concerns. "We gradually weaned the city off that program because we experienced some problems with trucks that had glider kits," said Higgins. For one thing, the cost of a glider kit approached the cost of a new truck. For another, the state considered glider kit trucks as new, and would have required the older engines to meet the emission standards for the year of the glider kit. That would have driven the cost to untenable levels, according to Higgins.

We have never been a fan of the theatrics that are WWF. Give us real wrestling any day. Those boys are hot! But we do know of Hulk Hogan and his colorful family.
We actually thought they were yester-years news but lo-and-behold here is the middle-aged Hulk Hogan – he is 59 and stands at 6.7″ – doing the nasty with some bimbo in a canopy bed.
Be forewarned that this may cause an involuntary upchuck without warning!
Not an endearing performance but looks like he gets down with the get down.
For those of you hard of hearing there is closed-captioning.

Orban's Goal With 2.7 Left, Schreiber's Goal In 2OT Lead Tigers Past Lehigh
Video - Orban ties it, Schreiber wins it
This one was lost, and Tom Schreiber was going to be frustrated. Down one, seconds ticking away, and Schreiber went low on Matt Poillon to try to tie it, only to have Lehigh's goalie make yet another great save.
That was with 28 seconds to go. As it turned out, this one was far from over, and when it finally ended, in the second overtime, Schreiber was being mobbed by his teammates.
Princeton came up with a turnover, had another shot blocked, came up with a ground ball and got it to Kip Orban, who ripped one past Poillon with 2.7 seconds left to tie it. Then, just over a minute into the second overtime, Schreiber nailed the game-winner - his fourth of the night - to give Princeton a frantic 10-9 victory over Lehigh.
The win improved Princeton to 6-4 overall, while Lehigh fell to 9-4. The Mountain Hawks had won three straight.
PLAYER OF THE GAME - Tom Schreiber scored four goals and had to work like a dog for everything he got against Lehigh, which came in second in Division I with a 6.50 goals per game average. In the process Schreiber moved past Josh Sims for the Princeton record for goals in a career by a midfielder with 105, after Sims had had 103. The game ended when Schreiber set a screen for Kip Orban and then got the ball back; in a split second it was behind Matt Poillon and the Princeton celebration was on. Schreiber's game-winner came with 1:09 gone in the second overtime.
PLAYER OF THE GAME RUNNER UP - Kip Orban found himself in the right place at the right time as the clock was winding down in regulation. Princeton, down 9-8 with less than 30 seconds to go, had two shots at the Lehigh goal, forcing a turnover in between to regain possession. After the second shot hit a foot and bounded towards midfield, Mike MacDonald finally tracked it down and flpped it to Orban. With the clock just under three seconds to go, Orban uncorked one high past Poillon, tying it with 2.7 seconds left. Orban then assisted on Schreiber's game-winner, giving him a two-goal, two-assist night.
STAT OF THE GAME - The game was tied 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8 and 9-9 before Princeton won it 10-9. Neither team ever led by more than one.
WHAT THE BOX SCORE DOESN'T TELL YOU - Princeton and Lehigh, separated by about 70 miles, played for the first time since 1940.
OFFENSE vs. DEFENSE - Princeton ranked seventh in Division I in scoring offense, while Lehigh was second in Division I in scoring defense. The first half ended 3-2 Princeton, but there were 14 more goals after intermission.
FiRST OT - Lehigh won the faceoff to start the first overtime and had two shots go wide before Will Reynolds caused a turnover. Princeton cleared and had three shots of its own, including one from Mike MacDonald that was saved by Poillon. The teams traded turnovers, and Lehigh was unable to get another shot off.
SECOND OT - Lehigh again won the face-off to start the second overtime, and Kurtis Kaunas took a shot that Eric Sanschagrin saved. Princeton cleared and called timeout with 3:18 to go in the period. Schreiber's game-winner came 27 seconds later.
NOTES - Jake Froccaro had a goal and two assists, and Tucker Shanley had two goals and one assist ... Will Reynolds caused three turnovers, including one with 46 seconds left in regulartion as Lehigh was trying to run out the clock ... Dan Taylor tied his career high with five goals for Lehigh ... Poillon made nine of his 13 saves in the first half; Sanschagrin made 10 saves ... Lehigh won 16 of 23 face-offs.
UP NEXT - Princeton hosts Dartmouth Saturday (1) before traveling to Harvard April 19 and then to Long Island April 26 to take on Cornell in the Battle of Bethpage.

Alternative to Canson Platine Fibre Rag?
Jan 24, 2014
Can anyone recommend a similar alternative to Canson Platine Fibre Rag? I can't seem to find a retailer that sells Canson products in Montreal. Shipping the paper from Toronto costs me an extra $10. It is a great paper though so I would like to find something similar to it. Thanks!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum presents its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience, which will open on Friday, April 25, 2014. The exhibition will be an immersive and engaging look at the music festival as more than just an outdoor concert, but as a community experience.
Whether it's forging human bonds, building a sense of community, providing broad exposure for musical artists – both old and new – or as one of the most important economic engines of the music industry, the story of the music festival is inextricably linked with music's powerful cultural impact around the globe.
Fan vote and fan-curated exhibit
Beginning Tuesday, March 11 fans around the world will have the opportunity to vote for the Top 10 rock festival performance moments of all-time. From Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Bob Dylan's performance in Newport in 1965 to Daft Punk's Coachella performance in 2006, fans will vote for 10 breakout performance and highlights from the last 50 years of festivals. The fan vote will close on Wednesday, April 2 at 5 p.m. ET. The Top 10 festival moments of all-time as voted by fans will be revealed on Wednesday, April 23. The fan-curated Top 10 rock festival moments will be presented in a video montage at the entrance of the exhibit.
As fans around the world experience this year's biggest festivals firsthand and share tagged images of the vibrant and diverse sights that surround them, the Rock Hall will capture and present those moments via large monitors on the fourth floor of the Museum near the entrance of the exhibit.
Exhibit snapshot
Spanning two floors of the Museum, the exhibit will surround visitors with the sights and sounds of a rock festival to evoke the experience in a visceral way, utilizing video of the iconic festivals of the past (Newport, Monterey, Woodstock, Wattstax and more) and the vibrant, constantly evolving events of the present (Coachella, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury and more), with an emphasis on establishing a "you are there" environment. Several floor to ceiling photographs of festival fans will invite visitors to examine and interpret the fan experience and become a part of the crowd. Ambient sounds will fill the space: weather, bands tuning up, people talking, radio ads and news reports. Visitors will connect with the intangible elements inherent in the festival experience – identifying with a community, participating in a social event and being part of the creative process.
The first level of the exhibit will take visitors through a fast-paced history of popular music festivals with large photographs, artifacts and short documentary films.
· Birth of the Modern Festival (From Spirituals to Swing, the Newport Festivals)
· Youth Quake (Monterey Pop, Woodstock, Isle of Wight)
· Festivals with a Purpose (Live Aid, Wattstax, Soul to Soul)
· Europe (Glastonbury, Roskilde, Fuji Rock, Pink Pop)
· Modern Destination Festival (Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella)
· Electronic Dance Music (Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Creamfields)
The second level of the exhibit will present an immersive experience designed to place the visitor squarely into the festival experience. The space will represent a performance tent at a festival and visitors will encounter a 20 minute film representing a fast moving day at a festival told through a cinematic mash-up of performances, sights, sounds, words and communal energy of iconic music festivals from the past seven decades. The main screen will be complimented with synchronized images and lighting that will evoke the feeling of day turning into night.

DENVER – Nikitis A. Mangeris, age 69, of Berthoud, Colo., was arrested last Friday, Jan. 18, at his home for income tax evasion, the United States Attorney's Office and IRS Criminal Investigation announced. Mangeris was indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver on January 9, 2013 for tax evasion and aiding and abetting in tax evasion. The indictment remained sealed until his arrest and subsequent initial appearance. Mangeris appeared in U.S. District Court in Denver on the day he was arrested and was advised of his rights and the charges pending against him. Mangeris was then released on a $10,000 unsecured personal appearance bond. He was scheduled to appear in court today.
According to the indictment, Mangeris operated the Les Beaux Chevaux and Tenet Investment Group businesses. The businesses held Arabian horses ("businesses' horses") and provided horse breeding services. Approximately twelve of the businesses' horses were registered with the Arabian Horse Association in the name of Les Beaux Chevaux and approximately two of the businesses' horses were registered with the Arabian Horse Association in the name of Tenet Investment Group. Mangeris kept and cared for, at his residence, some of the horses including a breeding stallion known as MHR Nobility.
Mangeris has not filed a U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 1040, for calendar years 1997-2003, 2005-2007, or 2010. Beginning in 2002, the IRS conducted an audit of Mangeris for calendar years 1997-1999. On or around Feb. 6, 2004, Mangeris signed an IRS Form 4549, consenting to the IRS assessment and collection of back taxes, penalties, and interest from him for calendar years 1997, 1998, and 1999 for amounts totaling approximately $850,235.77, $18,349.27, and $23,370.24, respectively.
Despite agreeing to these back taxes, penalties, and interest, Mangeris has evaded payment of these amounts. In or around 2004 and 2007, he filed IRS Forms, 433-A - Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and Self-Employed Individuals, which failed to list all income, assets, liabilities and other information. In or around 2005, he filed an IRS Form 1040, for calendar year 2004, which failed to report, on a Schedule C or otherwise, substantial amounts of income from his horse breeding businesses and receipts from semen sales. Furthermore, Mangeris directed third-party buyers to make payments for the purchase of semen and offspring derived from his businesses' horses to other individuals and entities holding bank accounts he controlled and paid his own personal expenses through such accounts.
"With tax season around the corner this indictment should serve as a reminder that anyone who evades paying their taxes will be held criminally accountable," said U.S. Attorney John Walsh.
"As tax filing season approaches, this is a reminder that all taxpayers should file complete and accurate tax returns; all income regardless of the source is taxable," said Stephen Boyd, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Denver Field Office.
Page 2 of 2 - Mangeris was charged with one count of income tax evasion and aiding and abetting. If convicted, he faces not more than 5 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000.
This case was investigated by agents with IRS-Criminal Investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Harmon and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Sweeney. Kevin Sweeney is a trial attorney from the Justice Department's Tax Division,

I have never understood highly organized people. All-out neatness seems to require superhuman dedication and concentration, similar to the mind-set required of those who aspire to walk barefoot over hot coals. No matter what I've done to temper it, a low-level disorder has reigned in my life. My sixth-grade teacher, who appeared to love me in all other ways, could not abide my messy desk, which, when I was asked to tip it over, released a torrent of "lost" library books, Kit Kat wrappers and secrets of the universe. After one desk-tipping session, my teacher plaintively said, "You're such a good student. Why do you do this?" I hung my head; I had no idea why.
Flash forward a million years. True, I no longer sit at a child-size desk, but I still don't keep certain things in order, and for a long time this left me frustrated and mildly ashamed. Just as I couldn't explain my desk to my teacher, I have had a hard time explaining to myself why, as an adult, I keep my papers in "bale of hay" form instead of dividing them into color-coded files. Whenever I have to retrieve something from the cabinet, I end up on the floor of my silo—I mean, my bedroom—with a bale in my lap, sifting slowly through it.
I'm not trying to make excuses, and I don't recommend disorder as a way of life; but sometimes, as I look for what I need, I come upon interesting things I don't need. Recently, a 20-year-old letter reminded me of a lost friendship and made me remember how people used to write letters to one another, which made me want to jot down notes for an epistolary novel. (True, the jotted notes probably got stored in the silo, too, and will not be found again until I need to go looking for a dental claim form.)
Not long ago, hearing me complain about not finding something, a friend offered to buy me a consult with a professional organizer. As the date approached, I imagined the organizer sitting beside me, and this was like picturing someone in bed with me whom I really didn't want there. In childhood, when they ask you to dump out your desk, you have to do it. In adulthood, you do it only if you've found that chaos doesn't suit your way of life. And I started to realize that some degree of chaos really doessuit my life—that it might even be helping me. Coming across certain individual items activates my thoughts. I occasionally feel a burst of emotion upon finding a drawing made by my child. It makes me get up and go talk to that child, who looms over me now, deep voiced, grown. Then I return to my pile, finding treasures, making plans. What I finally understand at 53 is that the amorphous collection in front of me is basically a replica of the brain inside me: not sequential, not orderly, but full of possibility. I wish I could have explained this to my sixth-grade teacher. I have no idea if the professional organizer would agree with me, because I canceled that appointment and went out for a walk instead, leaving my blissful anarchy behind.

Guest blog courtesy of 2011 Summer Teacher Institute participant Bernie Howitt of Australia.
Rock and roll has a proud and rich history which celebrates a major American cultural achievement. To the rest of the world, rock and roll was often their first and most meaningful point of contact with "America." When Chuck Berry sang, "I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA" in 1959, he was echoing the aspirations of everyone who wasn't.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is deservedly the centre point of the celebration and commemoration of rock history. Equally impressive is the commitment to education embodied in the Summer Teacher Institute. To gather teachers together and share the resources and expertise of the Museum and its staff is an incredible opportunity. As an Australian history teacher passionate about the role rock music can play in enthusing and inspiring students, the chance to attend STI represented a dream.
Amazingly dreams can occasionally come true. I was supposed to visit the Hall of Fame and Museum in September 2001, when fate tragically intervened. For years I thought I'd missed my chance, but I kept checking the website, envious of the resources American teachers had available.
After working on the development of an Australian national Curriculum in History in 2010 that recognized the role of rock and roll as a cultural and historical force worthy of inclusion, I decided this was the time to cash in my frequent flyer points and apply to present at the Institute. I offered a workshop on the role Chuck Berry and the Beach Boys specifically played in winning the Cold War for the United States. It challenged a lot of historical orthodoxy by arguing that soft power, and particularly rock music was a more powerful agent of change in the Cold War period than traditional power such as the Arms Race.
I will always be thankful that the Education staff decided to offer me the chance to present my workshop and attend the 2011 Summer Teacher Institute. For a week I would come to "work" past Janis Joplin's tunic. How cool is that? I could listen to lectures on the development of rock and roll from Museum staff who could delve into the stories that fleshed out the memories derived from an adolescence spent playing 45s on a turntable in the privacy of my bedroom. They had such an amazing array of resources to draw from; lectures became magic carpet rides of learning you never wanted to end. As all music does, they stimulated dreams, discussions, and arguments involving the merit of Michael Jackson over Prince, Chuck Berry over Jerry Lee Lewis, John or Paul, Beatles or Stones, Dylan – electric or acoustic? These questions mattered then, and the Institute showed that even when the names change, they still matter to kids today.
It seems painfully obvious that if you want to inspire students to learn, you use material that they find inspiring, but being an innovator can be a very lonely life in education. By gathering like-minded souls, the Summer Teacher Institute gave us all the chance to share. For me, the workshops were an invaluable insight into America. I could hear the songs that the US turned to in wartime and compare them with the songs Australia listened to in those same wars. I could hear the impact of Bill Graham's pioneering work first hand, and listen to how American teachers dealt with issues of gender and race in the classroom. Above all, I could realise that I wasn't alone. American and Canadian teachers also used rock and roll to inspire and enthuse. It didn't matter if they were trained in English, Creative Arts, Special Education, Social Sciences, or Maths. They were great teachers who wanted to make a difference, and they saw rock and roll as a tool for doing that.
The opportunity to hear first-hand the powerful story of Genya Ravan was a rare privilege provided by the Institute. Here was a primary source for post-WWII American history sharing unique insights into her life and times. Moving, intellectually stimulating, and hysterically funny, it demonstrated directly how learning could be real fun. In short, the Institute practised what it preached.
I even had the opportunity to explore more of what Cleveland seems to do best, rock! I found my way to the atmospheric Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights and saw a young South African band, The Parlotones, just explode in that tiny room. It was their first trip to Cleveland, and where were they going to spend their first day off from their tour the next day? Exploring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. I couldn't have asked for a better example to prove my thesis that American rock and roll had helped win the Cold War by creating a generation raised on rock that wanted to come to America and see for themselves a land where "hamburgers sizzle on an open grill all night and day."
By encouraging an exchange of ideas I felt that I was able to contribute as well as learn. Finally I was able to point out that Australia was the first place in the world to host a global rock and roll tour when Bill Haley arrived in January 1957. I could share the talents of the Australian artists who were inspired by America, Johnny O'Keefe, the Easybeats, and Go-Betweens. I could introduce a wonderful new Sydney band, the Jezabels, as proof that America remains the dream destination for rock and roll bands.
The Summer Teacher Institute was an extraordinary opportunity to learn. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is the perfect setting, and the Education Department the perfect presenters. Rock and roll is an international language that has made a genuine difference to the world. The Summer Teacher Institute takes that language and uses it to share and inspire. There can be no nobler purpose.
Thank you to the Education Department for sharing your resources with us, and thank you to Cleveland for sharing your city. I'm returning to Australia brimming with ideas, and a second bag in luggage, brimming with resources. I have new contacts to continue an international dialogue. If anything can bring the world together, it's rock and roll. Imagine a world full of juke boxes "jumping with records like in the USA."
