Here's Another Design Thinking Video For You
A few weeks ago I was a guest of the Soaring to Excellence program. For those of you unfamiliar with Soaring to Excellence, it is a national library teleconference program to which many state library systems subscribe. Many thousands of librarians tune into the three programs that are held each year. This year the program […]

Libraries Need To Deliver The Wow Factor
Do libraries, particularly academic libraries, have loyal customers? Do our library users come back again and again to use the library building, and if so, why? In every academic library I've worked in I've gotten to know the regulars, and beyond that are students and faculty you see again and again – if not frequently […]

I Wondered When I'd See This
Since its inception in February 2007, Designing Better Libraries has pretty much been a lone voice in the library blogosphere – or the profession itself -Â when it comes to discussing design thinking – and pretty much anything about design in any sense other than what it has traditionally been for librarians – designing buildings and […]

Canada's science and technology research centre is hit by a sophisticated hacking attack blamed on China.
15:48, UK, Wednesday 30 July 2014
A "highly sophisticated" Chinese hacking attack on Canada's National Research Council (NRC) has caused major disruption, the Canadian government says.
The council - which carries out high-level scientific research - has been isolated from the rest of the government network as a precaution, after being compromised by a "state-sponsored actor".
The attack - which temporarily shut down the NRC's computer systems - was revealed by the country's information officer, Corinne Charette.
In a statement her office said: "The government takes this issue very seriously and we are addressing it at the highest levels in both Beijing and Ottawa."
Foreign affairs minister John Baird was in Beijing as the news became public, and said a "full and frank exchange of views" had taken place.
It is unclear what type of information may have been compromised.
The NRC says it is trying to rebuild its computer infrastructure and that the process could take up to a year.
It is known to have been working with university and private sector teams on a number of recent projects.
It is the first time the Canadian government has unequivocally blamed China for a cyber attack.
But the Chinese embassy has said it does not accept the "groundless accusation".

Dave Brubeck Octet: Curtain Music (Closing Theme)
Curtain Music (Closing Theme)
Dave Brubeck Octet
Time Signatures (Columbia Legacy 52945)
Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (alto sax), Dave Van Kriedt (tenor sax), Bill Smith (clarinet), Cal Tjader (drums),
Dick Collins (trumpet), Bob Collins (trombone), Jack Weeks (bass).
Composed and arranged by Dave Brubeck.
Recorded: Mills College, Oakland, 1946
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
This signature theme from the Dave Brubeck Octet—a short snippet from 1946—predates the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool nonet by some two years. A few commentators have tried to portray Brubeck as a follower in the footsteps of Mr. Davis, but in truth the music of this ensemble resists pigeonholing of any sort. Even by Brubeck's eccentric standards, this group was an oddity. And if you push hard for a genealogy, you will end up finding more sources in classical music than in jazz. Brubeck discouraged my attempts to connect this music to Stravinsky's Octet from 1922. But he is not shy about making claims for this piece. "You'll have a hard time finding any other jazz piece in 6/4 from this period," he has remarked. My only gripe with this track (which is my same complaint about all of the Octet's work) is that there simply isn't more of it.

So you know how I told you in my last entry how I was trying to redesign all my characters? Well, it turns out I have way more than I thought I did. What has started out as an innocent 25 just recently turned into 60+ characters. The badpart is I just made another character last night, and when I come to think of names of my old designs and stuff, new stories and designs come up and they're a whole new character.
This is a gah moment.
In other news, we just got out for Thanksgiving break, and we get a five day weekend. I have three Thanksgivings to go to, which means three feasts to take part in, and after that, I get to go see Breaking Dawn on Saturday! (Or Sunday... I'm not entirely sure yet.) Tell me, was it good, or was it just plain cheesy?
So... I just thought that I'd let you guys know about my current situation with my characters. My new character is named Anubis, based on the Egyptian God with a jackal head. He'll be uploaded soon, as I already have two pictures of him that I drew last night. I just kind of have an obsession with religions that contain gods and goddesses, though I'm Christian myself.
And finally, my question of the month...

Around 1846, Benjamin Austin built this Greek Revival house on the corner of Lovell and Rose. In the 1850s, Dr. Joseph Sill purchased the house and moved it around the corner, to 226 W. Lovell in order to build the "Sill Terrace" luxury apartments on the house's original location. Dr. Sill lived in the house until his death in 1907.

OSU Extension Medina County
Whether it's for health and nutrition, safety, sustainability or some other reason, consumers' food-purchasing choices have widened. In the mix with local foods, organics and genetically modified products now comes country of origin labeling (COOL).
On Sept. 30, mandatory country of origin labeling became effective for meat and perishable agricultural commodities like fresh fruits and vegetables. Fish and shellfish have been subject to COOL requirements since April 2005.
"Retailers are now required to notify consumers whether the product they are buying is of U.S. origin or from another country,†said Ian Sheldon, Ohio State University Andersons Professor of International Trade with the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics.
Products falling under COOL requirements include beef, lamb, pork, chicken, goat, wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish, fresh fruits and vegetables, and some nuts like peanuts, pecans and macadamia nuts. Under COOL, ingredients in processed food items are not required to be labeled. However, many imported products still must indicate the country of origin of their ingredients under the Tariff Act of 1930.
"For example, frozen peas and carrots are processed foods and in principle are not subject to COOL requirements. However, if those peas and carrots came from another country, then the product has to be labeled,†Sheldon said.
Apart from giving consumers more choices in what products they buy, Sheldon doesn't see much benefit with the implementation of COOL.
"I'm not sure what the economic logic is, Sheldon said. I just don't see what the specific risks are for such a law to be required.
If it's about safety, then perhaps we should be spending money on food safety. Do we want to leave it to consumers to determine if a product is safe based on a label? Perhaps some U.S. producers see it as a means of protecting themselves from foreign competition. But so many foreign producers, like those from Australia and New Zealand, are already doing a good job of marketing their products based on country of origin.â€
Sheldon said if anything, COOL might further drive up already high food prices because of the costs retailers must incur to make sure items are labeled. Those costs eventually will trickle down to the average shopper.
"The one thing I don't like about COOL is the across-the-board implementation,†he said. "That means consumers will be paying higher prices for products whether or not they care which country their food is coming from. It has nothing to do with freshness, taste or quality.
"The COOL label is simply a characteristic added to a food product that ultimately the consumer will have to pay for. I think it's something that will hurt some consumers in the long run.â€
Whatever impact, if any, COOL will have on the market, Sheldon said the new law was designed ultimately to give consumers greater food choices based on their preferences.
"There is a segment of the population that obviously won't care about COOL, but there is also a segment of the population that wants it and is willing to pay for it,†Sheldon said. "Whether they worry about food safety problems such as E. coli or mad cow disease, or worry about whether their raspberries come from California or Mexico, there will be some demand for products based on country of origin labeling.â€
For more information on country of origin labeling, log on to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service Web site at www.ams.usda.gov.

Jack Lalanne Says Be Happy!
Great advice! Goes right along with yesterday's post about living to 100: How Centenarians Do It.

Oh, Gerry, you have to watch this video from ted.com on happiness:
Warning, it might change your view on most things :) !
It also explains why people in rural Peru are laughing while Madonna goes to India to find herself...
Hey Magnus-
Great clip. Very heady. I wonder how practical it is to start thinking like that. He is basically implying that human nature will lead us to misery.
I think it would be good for us if we realized (like it is said in "The pleasure trap") that we won't be miserable if we eat sustainably and plant based.
I actually made that analogy at work the other day:
I was fat and my back hurt.
I sold my car, got a bike and used it. I thought I would want to kill myself after that because of the misery of having to pedal to work every day.
But I didn't.
I started eating less energy but more food. That meant no cream sauces and more veggies. Surely I wold want to kill myself now right?
I became a vegetarian. Now I have to be close to emotional suicide?!
I became a whole food vegan. No point in dragging out the life now, right?!
I stopped using tobacco. Kill me now?!
The thing that happened is that I lost a considerable amount of weight (50kg) and my mind adapted. I am now healthier, my condition is better, I'm stronger and I've taken up a care for the planet and everything on it (except for George Bush, I don't like him).
My mind adapted to the new situations I was putting myself in making me comfortable in them and now I know that whatever happens and whatever path I take I can find happiness in that new place. That what the video says to me :) .
The Jack Lalanne clip must be very old. Even he doesn't look like that at his age.

Little chocolate boats:
For ganache
100g dark chocolate (cut into pieces)1/2 tsp instant coffee
1tsp rum
120g double cream
80g butter
20 almonds for decoration
For pastry
330g plain flour
100g icing sugar
zest of 1 lemon
pinch of salt
180g cold butter (diced into cubes)
1 large egg yolk
2 tbsp cold water
makes approx. 20 tartlets
First start off with your pastry and sieve your flour, icing sugar in a bowl and add your salt and lemon zest. Mix together in an electric mixer with the paddle setting and whilst mixing slowly add the cubes of butter. Next add the yolk and the dough should come together nicely rolling into a ball. If it looks a little dry you can add a table spoon or two of cold water. Cover with some cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. When it's had time to chill take out of fridge and while it's softening up again set your oven to 150 and lightly butter some tart cases. Roll out the dough and line the cases with your pastry and cook for about 12-15 minutes. They should be a light golden colour and then leave on a cooling rack.
For the ganache, heat the double cream and butter on a medium heat stirring until it starts to bubble and pour over the chocolate which should be in a heatproof bowl. Use a whisk to mix until all is melted and you have lovely gooey truffle filling. Stir in the rum and sieve in the coffee so there are no lumps. Leave this to cool for about 1-2 hours then it should be ready to spoon into the cases with an almond on top. Et Voila!
250ml whole milk
60ml egg yolk
25g caster sugar
50g plain flour
150ml whipping cream
25g icing sugar
1 vanilla pod
For the apricots
6 apricots
25g sugar
For pastry
330g plain flour
100g icing sugar
zest of 1 lemon
pinch of salt
1tbsp of poppy seeds
180g cold butter (diced into cubes)
1 large egg yolk
2 tbsp cold water
Make your pastry exactly the same as the first recipe except with this one I've added a table spoon of poppy seeds in when mixing the dry ingredients. When it's cooled roll out and fit into your buttered baking tin and blind bake depending on the size of your tin for about 20 mins at 150 degrees. It needs to be a light golden colour.
Next cut your apricots into halves and simmer with the 25g of sugar in a saucepan until softened as you still want them to retain their shape and not turn into mush. Leave these to cool completely.
Now make your creamy filling by heating the milk in a saucepan. While the milk is heating whisk the yolk, sugar and flour in a bowl and while still mixing slowly add the hot milk until it is all combined and then quickly pour it back into the saucepan to heat again. It's important here to whisk vigorously to avoid lumps and you want the mixture to thicken and to start to bubble. This should take about 1-2 mins and when this happens remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Cover with cling film so that it touches the cream and prevents a skin forming. While this cools to room temperature (takes about an hour) in a mixer whisk the whipping cream, sugar, seeds from the vanilla pod until the cream is fluffy. Come back to your now cooled pastry cream and work it with a spatula as it can become quite stiff. Gently fold in your whipped cream.
To assemble it is important that everything is at room temperature otherwise the cream with melt. Spoon the cream onto your pastry and display your apricot halves side by side. A simple tart but so yummy!
These are two of my best Carnival tunes:

the Critics I, 6-9
'We didn't deserve the vitriol'
By Terry Dean Bartlett
Copyright 2006 Terry Dean Bartlett
(Editor's Note: The
Dance Insider recently asked readers to critique the critics. Today
we present some responses. Here is one.)
I am writing to share
with you the review from Ms. Jennifer Dunning, in the New York Times,
of the recent DANCEOFF! production Katie Workum and I presented
at PS 122 back in March. Now, before complaining about a bad review,
I admit freely that this installment may not have been one of our
strongest, being paced a little poorly, and, regretfully, almost
all of the artists involved took our "7-minute max" stipulation
to mean 10 - 12 minutes, which I believe to be too long when the
entire program has eight pieces on it. It is the difference between
an hour show or an hour and a half show. Regardless, the snippy
tone with which Ms. Dunning discussed the show was so unprofessional,
as if she had an axe to grind with someone (we're not sure who)
-- either her editor, who had given a glowing review to a show at
PS 122 earlier in the week, or the countless reviewers in our press
packs that had given us glowing reviews to our past installments
of DANCEOFF! Who knows?
Here are some of the
"Bless Cynthia Hopkins,
who almost single-handedly saved the DANCEOFF! showcase on Tuesday
night from being a witless, exasperating waste of time...."
"Jonah Bokaer, a young
Merce Cunningham dancer and promising choreographer, was probably
the evening's lure. But he was not well served by his bloodless
"(underscore)," which unfolded on a stage littered with mannequins
implanted with digital clocks and featured a grab bag of gimmicks
that never quite came together as a whole..."
"Will Rawls has an engaging
stage presence ... with ... natural warmth. But he might think twice
about hanging out with this crew, who seem to misunderstand the
notion that less is more and settled for triviality -- and inept
attempts at irony -- rather than distillation.
"....for the most part,
the participants...suffered from a terminal case of the cutes."
"The program did serve
as a warning of sorts, advertising as it did several coming shows
that ought by all means to me missed, to judge by DANCEOFF!"
My reply:
DANCEOFF! is not and
has never advertised itself as being "Joyce Theater" or "BAM" style
-- finished, polished evening-length productions -- but a place
for emerging artists to experiment and show new work in the same
vein as Fresh Tracks, Waxworks, Catch, Food for Thought, etcetera.
How does Ms. Dunning go about reviewing these other showcases, I
wonder? And I wonder where she thinks those "finished, polished
works" come from? A great many of our past DANCEOFF! contributors
have taken their experimental works, that they premiered in one
of our DANCEOFF! productions, and expanded them into very well received
finished works, using the info and feedback that they received after
showing their works with us. And many people like the risk-taking
that goes on there, because it is allowed, and go to see these experiments
because of that.
It also appears, from
the complete review, that Ms. Dunning seemed to enjoy the works
of Ms. Hopkins & Mr. Rawls as well as works not mentioned in the
quotes above, by Palissimo (Pavel Zustiak), and a dance film by
Shanti Crawford danced in by Nate Schenkkan. By my count, that is
four of the eight artists on the bill. Now, from my experience,
at group shows of "emerging" modern dance, audiences are usually
lucky to find ONE, let alone four pieces that they like, and yet
Ms. Dunning decides that despite a 50% success ratio for the artists
involved, this is a show that should be avoided and the future shows
by the artists involved are to be missed as well.
Our mission at DANCEOFF!
has always been one of audience building for an art form that is
under-appreciated, under-attended, and often quite difficult to
enjoy if you are a newcomer, due to its often abstract nature, among
other things. We try to keep it short and keep the "arty" pieces
interspersed with fun, funny, entertaining ones to keep the angst
to a minimum. I don't know what Ms. Dunning was expecting to see
at DANCEOFF!, but whatever it was I don't think we deserved the
vitriol with which she wrote about us/the artists.
That is my rant.
Find below links to
the complete article from the Times by Ms. Dunning and another review
of the show from Ms. Eva Yaa Asantewaa from the Gay City News, for
a little bit of a more balanced look.

Navigating their second snow storm in a week and slick snow-filled streets, excited concert-goers made their way to the packed Academy of Music for its 157th Anniversary Concert on Saturday night in Center City Philadelphia. The orchestra concert was part of an anniversary celebration, complete with a Ball that took place immediately after at the prestigious Hyatt At The Bellevue Philadelphia. This year, The Philadelphia Orchestra welcomed celebrated singer-songwriter, three time Grammy-winner, actress and Philadelphia native Jill Scott as its featured guest artist.
Also joining the celebration as hosts were native sons Kevin and Michael Bacon, who amused the audience with comical banter complete with Kevin imitating a Philly accent for audience comprehension. The theme of this year's event was "Preserving Our Heritage" and the brothers playfully stressed awareness of the building renovation campaign with Michael quipping about the ventilation system "it gets so hot Brunhilda is down to a size two."
Led by music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin, with Stewart Goodyear on piano, The Philadelphia Orchestra performed Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story," with ample audience participation on "Mambo," and variations of Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm." The crowd erupted with applause as Jill Scott made her way to the stage to join the orchestra for a rousing rendition of "Summertime" from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess." Nezet-Seguin remarked that he was a huge fan of Scott's, and it was a dream to work with her.
Scott reminisced and shared her joy to be back in Philadelphia with the audience, acknowledging her alma maters Pierce and Green Tree Elementary schools, Philadelphia High School For Girls, and Temple University before singing a beautiful rendition of "Home" from the musical "The Wiz." She also shared that the Academy was "the stage that I first saw Kathleen Battle sing. So it is a privilege for me." Scott performed several of her hit songs, including "Golden" and "The Way," the latter featuring a dynamic solo by saxophonist Mike Phillips. Scott was joined also by fellow Grammy-winner Robert Glasper on piano while performing their collaborative ballad "Calls."
When Scott held up one finger to indicate another song, after the Bacon brothers had bid the crowd farewell upon the concert's ending, concert-goers were unanimous with agreement and applause. She and the orchestra dove into her beloved swan song "He Loves Me (Lyzel In E Flat)" showcasing her vocal agility in several registers and her bi-lingual operatic ability.
Several high profile Philadelphians attended the concert, including Congressman Chaka Fattah and his wife Renee Chenault-Fattah, and Mayor Michael Nutter and his wife Lisa. Mayor Nutter has referred to the Academy of Music as "one of this country's most beloved treasures." The annual concert and ball celebration is the only fundraiser that is held for the Academy, a National Historic Landmark. Click here to donate to the Academy's Renovation and Preservation Fund.

A new minute-long trailer for the upcoming season 4 of FX horror anthology television series American Horror Story has been released that introduces us to all of the major players.
Watch the new trailer for "American Horror Story: Freak Show" – which kicks off on October 8 at 10 p.m. on FX – starting its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. Fans have been getting mocked since months with a drip release of enticing clips. And now the American Horror story fans are ultimately rewarded with the release of the first full clip presenting the strange cast of characters who will appear in the upcoming Freak Show series. Compared to all of those short, scary teasers, the new trailer is quite amazing, weird and wonderful.
The season 4 will be set in Jupiter, Florida in 1952, and it will be focused around one of the few enduring freak shows at the time, as its members do everything to keep the business active. The season will spotlight on the disagreement between the freaks and the "evil forces" that do not recognize them. According to the official description, "This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amid the dying world of the American carny experience." Earlier series of the anthology show were held in a haunted house, an insane asylum and a witch coven. Continue Reading »

This film was the first installment of The Warner Bros. Batman Series and tells the story of Bruce Wayne coping with the rise of a powerful villain known as 'The Joker'. To defeat this strange enemy, Batman needs a potent vehicle: The Batmobile!
The car has been completely reinvented, reflecting the environment of Art Deco Gotham City. It is huge, long, low and sleek, combining design elements from 1930's coupes as well as modern racing cars.
It features a repeating bat motif evident in the distinctive wing-shaped tail fins. It is technologically equipped with the most advanced automotive customization. It features a jet turbine engine and 530 km/h top speed (with booster). It cost a few million dollars to develop and was built on a Chevy Impala chassis.

The National Football League has an annual window in which it is allowed to test athletes for marijuana use and that window just so happened to open today...on 4/20.
Funny enough, the testing window does not cover "recreational drugs" during the season (because the players need it to recover after games of course). But the rules can be altered for a number of reasons depending on when a player was signed and if they are a rookie or not, so not everybody is off the hook.
There is a big contingency of people who think the rules need some changing considering they were made many years ago, but the league has yet to budge.
Check out the NFL's full set of drug policies here and of course, have a Happy 4/20!
The NFL's annual window for marijuana testing opens today. Yes, on 4/20.

Paranormal Activity succeeds by putting the viewer in the most deviously terrifying position ever imagined by a filmmaker: captive audience to an idiot's home movie. It recreates the experience of being stuck in a room with Micah (pronounced MEEK-uh, or DOOSH-bag), the kind of guy you immediately want to start punching and never stop punching until the punching is done. The kind of guy who spends his free time at the mall, conspicuously checking out 16-year olds while chatting loudly on his Bluetooth headset about hair gels. In short, Micah is a super sweet dude.
In a hard-to-swallow supernatural twist, Micah has somehow acquired a live-in girlfriend, Katie. In any other film she would stand out as a shrill, unlikeable person, but in the twisted world ofParanormal Activity she is borderline tolerable. Katie carries some baggage, namely some sort of ghost, or demon, or...well it's not really clear. Whatever it is, it's up to no good, pulling off masterful scares such as moving keys off the counter, and gradually shifting a door while Micah and Katie sleep. By the way, get used to watching Micah and Katie sleep, because that's pretty much the whole movie. Oh, and one time they go outside and Katie sits in a chair.
Strap in for terror, or at least a steady, crushing, existential dread, as Mike, Kevin, and Bill go up against the film equivalent of sitting next to a talkative moron on a 6-hour flight: Paranormal Activity.

Most states give you a specific window of time in which to contest a will, and the clock starts ticking once a will is admitted to probate. File a will contest as soon as possible after probate begins to ensure that your will contest is not dismissed for being filed too late.
Protect your loved ones with a will
Create an affordable will with LegalZoom
Notice of Probate
Once the will has been filed for probate and the court has appointed an executor, the executor is required to send notice of probate to certain individuals. These people include the estate's creditors, the beneficiaries listed in the will and anyone who would have received property from the estate under state law if no will existed. Any of these people, known as "interested parties," may contest the will. The time for filing a will contest begins when the person who files or plans to file receives his notice of probate.
Limitations Periods
How long a person has to contest a will is known as the "statute of limitations" or "limitations period" in most states. The amount of time varies according to state law. For instance, the state of Washington allows four months from the time the interested party receives notice of probate and the time she files a will contest. Occasionally, the limitations period may be suspended for certain court actions or other events. An attorney who practices estate law in your state can tell you how long you have to file a will contest and whether any court orders or other events have affected the deadline.
Informal vs. Formal Probate
Several states distinguish between informal probate and formal probate, with different amounts of time to file a will contest in each one. Informal probate is used when the will is self-proving and meets all other requirements of state law. Formal probate is used when a will is not self-proving or does not have the required witness signatures. In states that distinguish between the types of probate, there is often no limit to the amount of time you have to file a will contest if the will is in informal probate. However, once you file the will contest, the will enters formal probate and the clock begins ticking for anyone else who might wish to file a will contest.
Consult an attorney before you file a will contest. An attorney can tell you how long you have to file in your particular case, and can estimate how long it will take to build a will contest case that will stand up in court. Since a will contest must be based on a flaw in the will or its execution, you will have to demonstrate that this flaw exists by collecting medical records, eyewitness testimony and similar evidence which may take some time to acquire. Finally, a will contest suspends the probate process, forcing everyone to wait longer for the assets to be distributed from the estate, and an attorney can advise you as to whether making everyone wait is in your best interests.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) carries out a check of its records each month to identify untaxed vehicles. They have the authority to carry out enforcement action against you using the information held on their records.
As well as this, DVLA works in partnership with NCP Services Ltd, the police and local authorities in operating wheelclamping schemes. Using automatic number plate readers (ANPR) they identify, clamp and tow away untaxed vehicles on the public road.
If you don't tax or SORN your vehicle you could be stopped by the police.
You'll get an automatic penalty of £80, as well as paying for a new tax disc and any arrears of vehicle tax you owe.
You could also get a County Court Judgment against you, be fined a minimum of £1000.
The maximum penalty for making a false declaration by declaring SORN when the vehicle is actually used or kept on a public road is £5000 and two years imprisonment.
Your vehicle could be clamped by one of DVLA's wheelclamping partners. You'll need to pay to have your vehicle released as well as producing a valid tax disc or surety fee if no disc is available. If you fail to pay, your vehicle will be impounded, incurring storage charges. If you don't pay the release or storage fees, your vehicle could be crushed or sold.

August is National Sandwich Month, so why not celebrate the last week of August with a delicious burger. While there are some well respected burger joints in town, like Au Cheval and DMK, why not head off the beaten path with a burger from these lesser known spots.
- Mercat a la Planxa – At this tapas-focused restaurant, Chef Cory Morris doesn't skimp on size for their house-made burger. Served only during lunch, the Mercat Burger is a Catalan variation on the summer staple featuring a black angus patty, la peral, padron peppers, and red wine onion jam.
- Acadia – While Acadia is a fine dining spot, however Chef Ryan McCaskey has won awards for his double-decker Acadia Burger made housemade bacon, McCaskey's 'special sauce,' pickles, gruyere cheese, and smoked cheddar mornay cheese.
- Travelle – Tim Graham's Sirloin Burger is an alternative gem on the Mediterranean-focused restaurant menu. Graham keeps your focus on the perfect, prime beef patty with minimal toppings of mahon, dried tomato, and pepper aioli.
- Davanti Enoteca – This Italian wine bar has a standout burger for your Chianti, the Davanti Burger, made with a special beef blend, bacon jam, roasted tomatoes, cheese curds, arugula, and roasted garlic mayo.
- Filini Bar & Restaurant – This fine dinging spot in the Radisson Blu Aqua hotel combines signature Italian influence with an American favorite in their Cheese Burger, made of a black angus beef burger topped with mozzarella, mushrooms, and tomato on a pretzel roll.
- Mindy's Hot Chocolate - This Wicker Park spot is home to some hip eats and delicious chocolate concoctions, along with their hearty burger, made with house-ground Slagel Farms beef, organic bacon and Carr Valley 4-year-aged cheddar, house-made pickle on a garlic-toasted sesame bun served with chips.
- Mana Food Bar - For the non-carnivorous burger addict, try the sliders at Mana, made with brown rice and mushroom and topped with spicy mayo. This is a Chicago vegetarian all around favorite.
Hopefully these underrated burgers will inspire your celebration of National Sandwich Month in Chicago, and take you right through to fall.

Backing up data with luckyBackup
At the Press of a Button
Fully automatic and space-saving backups – that's what luckyBackup promises. This tool combines Rsync with other techniques into one comfortable application for backing up data.
Surveys conducted by the online backup specialists Backblaze show that in 2011, only six percent of computer users regularly made backups. If your disk gives up the ghost, if a script or program backfires, or if a malicious thief steals your laptop, then you are faced with the worst-case data disaster. Generally, you can kiss all your documents, photos, household bookkeeping, and entire music collection goodbye.
Although everyone knows that making regular backups protects against data loss, many people still don't do so. Too time-consuming, too complicated, or the optimistic assumption that bad things only happen to other people are among the most popular excuses. Many people think of cryptic tar and rsync entries on the command line when they hear the word "backup," but backing up data, even in the background, is very easy to do with luckyBackup.

During the riots, the three threw Molotov cocktails at a police car near City Hall.

Today is Christmas so there are not a lot of news updates, however, this video was sent to us by Wrestling News World reader Max Moskal:
WWE has now banned unprotected chair shots to the head. Workers that violate this policy are subject to fines.
Wrestling news, rumors, spoilers and results. We are a leading resource for WWE, TNA and everything related to pro wrestling.
By Richard Gray
How festive! I wonder how many chair shots he really has taken in his career.
Its a wonder it wasn't Foley who went berserk & killed his family instead of Benoit…Chris never took this many direct hits to the skull.
That's a good thing as Mic is a great guy, I'm sure Chris was also a great guy.. Everyone takes things different than others, some people wouldn't be able to take a couple shots without going coo coo. The skull is different on every human ranging in different thickness. This would make a big difference of how many shots a person can take and how damaging it would be to the persons brain.
Foley didn't take steroids.
So you subscribe to the idea that it was roid rage & not brain damage with Benoit?
I'm not gonna debate whether the roids had anything to do with it, but the brain damage was proven. I'm saying that with so many direct chair shots to the head, its a wonder Foley's brain is still functional. If told a roid-user or a wrestler who took chair shots night after night were to murder his family & kill himself over the course of a weekend, I'd have gone with the potentially brain-damaged wrestler. That's my opinion, you're entitled to yours as well.
True, but Foley's finisher didn't involve climbing a good five or so feet and then jumping a good three more feet into the air to headbutt people. Whether or not he struck them with his head, he still shook his brain.
I lost count at 40
58 chair shots to the skull
well all i have to say is mick is one tough guy
I lost count after fifty. And I'm not kidding.
I feel horrible saying this, but damn that was funny.
Notice that was just part 1. I'm willing to guess that Foley's taken over 250 chairshots to the head. LOL
I counted 61
That don't count his days in wccw wcw or others before wwe
i counted 61 in that video but im cure over his career u need to mulitply that number atleast 40 or 50 u got to remember he also wrestled in japan, ecw and wcw too name a few
So the WWE becomes the NFL… giving away fines like candy to kids for the possible smallest thing. What's next, the "Brady Rule" where ya got to be careful how to handle John Cena? Only the beginning, folks.
…. not that i condone excessive chairs shots to the head, but what happens after the first or second offense?
Dont forget the chairshots Foley has taken even before WWF/E. WCW and ECW (especially that place. You'll lose count on one month alone.)
…and he is STILL an intelligent man and author. People can argue training and "it's fake" all they want, that can't feel good. The people hitting him with chairs aren't accountants, they are large strong people performing for the crowd. Thank you Mick!
I got tired of counting at about 36ish. He's one tough SOB
I counted 62!
How does Mick Foley not have the kind of Parkinson's type dementia that Muhammad Ali has?
so where is orton`s punishment for making cody bleed
I remember a match Mick had as Mankind, I believe, against The Rock back in the "Attitude Era". Where Rock handcuffed Mick's hands behind his back and commenced to hitting him in the head a good 15+ times in a row. I heard an interview where Mick said he was really mad at Rock for that because he wasn't supposed to hit him anywhere near that many times and that he really couldn't remember exactly how many shots there were. It was totally brutal…
It was at the royal rumble 1999 I think it was like 11 chair shots in one match, foley had a dent in his head after it was brutal. Watch beyond the mat it has alot of detail about that match tpwards the end.
It appears that the Rock gave him the most chair shots
Whoops! Guess I should've watched the video before I commented. Should've known that would be ln there considering it was the single most brutal thing I've ever seen in a WWE ring. That includes Mick's dive off the Cell in Pittsburgh, and I was in attendance for that. Mick is one tough dude that REALLY loved what he did for a living.
I counted 61
Awesome !!! Classick intense Mick Foley @ his Hardcore Best !!!
61 times omg!!!!!!!
In this nice little video I counted 61 shots! About 6 or 7 of them just from The rock in their infamous "I quit" match at the Royal Rumble! Poor Mick! At least he's a legend!
61 chair shots
Total of 61 in the Video
61 chairshots, insane
I counted 61
I lost count after the first he ever took.
Foley is as hard as a coffin nail!
Does the People's Elbow with the chair on Mick's face count? I mean that both in the sense of this video and in terms of the policy.
The very best chairshot i've seen in WWE was delivered by Triple H to Goldberg on RAW in 2003-ish.
Think jbl on eddie guerro was one of the best.
61 shots! How is this guy not a vegetable right now.
TO think that covered only part of Foley's wwe career not even the indy's, wcw, Japan, etc….
Well that made for some pretty uncomfortable viewing, if I'm being honest… I doubt I would've managed to watch it all the way through if I hadn't been a little distracted by counting.
I have so much respect for Mick Foley, and this just amplifies it. He is truly one of the toughest men alive.
I got tired at counting at 39!
When it comes hardcore there's no other man for the job…foley is a legend when it comes to pain because of his love for hardcore ppl don't even try to count u'll never kno until u ask the man who took e'm all foley the hardcore god

Forget immigration reform, the budget deficits and increasing the minimum wage, all issues that seem to take up the most time in Congress these days. Americans' number one concern is finding a job.
That's according to the latest issues survey by Gallup, which found that unemployment now tops the list of concerns held by a majority of us.
"Americans have a new No. 1 problem. Nearly one in four Americans mention jobs and unemployment as the most important problem facing the country, up from 16% in January. The government and politicians had topped the list since the government shutdown in October," said Gallup, in a summary of its poll, taken Feb. 6-9.
Before last fall, one of two issues – jobs or the economy – topped the list, Gallup said, as the "most important problem" facing the country as far back as 2008, when the nation was in the throes of the Great Recession.
Those two issues were briefly displaced by Americans' displeasure with Congress – a rating that coincided with last fall's brief government shutdown. In the latest survey, 23 percent of respondents said unemployment was their major concern, followed by 20 percent who cited the "economy in general." Nineteen percent cited dissatisfaction with Congress/government.
Healthcare continues to remain a top concern for Americans, with 15 percent citing it as the most important.
Further down the list: 8 percent cited the federal budget deficit as important; 6 percent cited immigration; 3 percent think America's moral/ethical issues, education and poverty problems are most important.
"For Democrats, unemployment is clearly the top U.S. problem, with the economy, government dysfunction, and healthcare occupying a second tier of importance. Republicans place highest importance on unemployment and the economy, with healthcare and government in the third and fourth spots, respectively," Gallup said. "Independents prioritize unemployment, government, and the economy, with healthcare a distant fourth."
Overall, less than one-quarter of Americans – 22 percent – said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the country. That's down a percentage point from last month, Gallup said, but it is up from a low of 16 percent in October, during the government's 17-day shutdown.
"Economic issues again lead Gallup's measure of what Americans see as the most important problem facing the nation," said the survey firm. "Concerns about the government, at least as measured by responses to this open-ended question, have faded…"

Large, fast switches require novel approaches for scheduling. Arbiters must be able to keep up with the high switching rates given by multi-gigabit-per-second link rates and short cells. In this paper, we propose the Parallel Wrapped Wave Front Arbiter (PWWFA). We analyze its performance, present simulation results, discuss its implementation, and show bow this scheme can be applied in a large switch with multi-terabit-per-second throughput and hundreds of ports.

This week on the Free Apps Roundup: It's the week of the update; various apps have been significantly upgraded. Take, for instance, Aviary. It's up to version 2, and it's a feature-packed photo editing app that's easy to use. Also, TWC has enabled live TV streaming outside of the home network for cable subscribers. And if upgrades aren't your thing, there's a zombie killing and driving game called R.I.P. Rally. Plus tons more.
The Top Three Free Apps:
- Aviary – A picture once taken is not necessarily finished. In fact, for many of us, it's where the work starts. Aviary is a powerful photo editor that's quick and easy to use. There are photo effects, frames, stickers, and tools galore. You can do all of the standard picture adjustments and more. Heck, you can even add the faint reflection of a planet into the sky. If you take pictures, you should give it a try.
- TWC TV – They might charge you too much for cable and think you don't want your Internet any faster, but at least the newest update to the TWC TV app allows subscribers to view some live TV channels on your iOS device, even when you aren't on your home network. That's right, it's a little like Slingbox. You can even program your DVR from anywhere. So go get some use out of your cable subscription next time you're away from home.
- R.I.P. Rally – Road rage required. Start your engines and destroy the undead in this mix of arena driving and zombie killing. This game gives you dual stick controls to plough through and subsequently destroy waves of the undead. Only problem is that your ammo is not unlimited, so you'll need to keep an eye on it.
Free Apps:
- Facebook – The latest update of this social network app comes with chat heads, stickers and more. Chat heads allows you to keep chatting from anywhere in the app, which is apparently a good thing.
- Bookworm Heroes – Build words, beat friends, become a bookworm hero. Because you totally need another word game.
- Yahoo! Weather – See the weather like never before. If the built-in weather app isn't cutting it for you, check out Yahoo!'s take on weather with detailed weather information and forecasts. There are even interactive radar, satellite, heat, and wind maps.
Free Apps for a Limited Time:
- Augmented Driving – Upgrade your car with augmented reality and advanced real-time object detection. It has lane detection, distance estimates, and lane crossing acoustic signal. You can also use it as a dash cam app.
- Solar: Weather – It's a super simple, no frills, streamlined weather app.
- miniSynth 2 – A real-time virtual analog synthesizer with 32-bit professional quality DSP and extremely low latency. It supports Audiobuss, audio copy/paste, and a virtual MIDI support.
- Split Lens – Ever wanted to be in more than one place? This app can make it look so. It can suspend you in the air, swap your body parts, and more.
- Stupid Zombies 2 – The undead return in this game with exciting, brainless creatures, weapons, puzzles, moody environments, and 500 levels.
- Eighty-Eight – A simple but addictive puzzle game inspired by the classic number logic game with a modernized look and feel. Drop numbered blocks into grids, place and set off the bomb strategically to trigger chain reactions.
- Amazing Fingers – Test your dexterity, wit and sense of adventure. The goal is to drag colored chips to the same colored target, which moves. Plus, it's a multiplayer game. It's almost like Twister for your fingers, which makes it perfect for date night.
- AstroWings2: Space War – The second in a three part series of games. You pilot a starship in a top down vertical shooter. There are 13 levels with increasing difficulty.
- Last Temple 2 – It's an addictive puzzle game sequel with 80 puzzling levels and 10 power ups to master and use.
- Star Hound – The night is young, how far can you run? Race across rooftops, swing from ledge to ledge with a grappling hook, or blast to the next building with your makeshift jetpack.
- 247 Missiles – Defend your cities against enemy attacks via missiles.
