My family had the great good fortune to stay at le clos des arts this summer - the riad was one of the highlights of our perfect marrakech holiday. Prior to the trip I spent a lot of time reading reviews, looking at photos and just knew THIS place was special. I had no idea how special until we walked through the doors and were greeted with such genuine loving care by massimo and giorgina. True beauty and care has gone into every detail in this lovely gem of a home. And we truly felt at home there. Some of our best dinners were at the riad, and breakfast was perfect every morning. When we wanted food outside M + G always had great suggestions. We were guided to the most beautiful spa for a hammam,, cooking classes in the home of a wonderful local. I have traveled the world and stayed at some of the best hotels and this riad is at the top of my list. I look forward to going back to my marrakesh home and family.

Skip to comments.Country's Best BBQ
Posted on 08/07/2004 10:07:49 AM PDT by Hootch
In honor of places that we know we could eat without being interupted by Kerry... Please post your favorite BBQ joint, where it is and what your favorite thing is at that place...
Radd Dew's; Conway, SC; everything!
Anything on the menu is great
Big John Bar-B-Q in Peoria, Illinois.
The owner is a charter captain, and the fish are fresh daily.
That place is still open? North side of town, or is the original still there? I have been away for a long time.
Salt Lick
18300 FM Rd 1826
Driftwood, TX 78619
Phone: (512) 858-4959
It's just outside of Austin. Best damn BBQ ever.
Wilbur's BBQ.
Goldsboro, NC
Pit cooked, vinegar based, chopped BBQ.
And the chicken ain't bad, either.
New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Huntsville Texas. All proceeds go to support the church.
Don't you think it would be fun to watch both Kerry's eating BBQ ribs, with the sauce dripping on their chin.....
Sorry I can't give the month...
but I did notice that while I was "house=sitting" a colleague's home here in
the swanky Westside of Los Angeles, they had a recent article of "Sunset" managazine
that claimed to have an article about the best BBQ in "the west".
Dreamland in Tuskaloosa Al. Ribs only.
Harold's in Atlanta. hand cut, served on toast handmade over coals from the pit!
Country Tavern
Hwy 31 (6 miles west)
Kilgore, Texas
Traditional BBQ beef and ribs.
I honestly have several but this is one of the best.
Grab a beer, order some brisket and some sausage, and have a seat outside on the picnic tables.
I'm a North Eastern city slicker myself, but I had great barbeque (mutton, beef and burgoo) recently at the Moonlite Inn in Owensboro, Kentucky.
In Georgia, BBQ is shredded pork. I much prefer Texas BBQ, generally smoked beef brisket.
in Memphis there are two:
Corky's (several locations - we like the original on Poplar)
The Rendesvouz (down near Beale Streer)
Both make great "Memphis BBQ," which is basically pork ribs and pulled pork shoulder.
I think Rendesvouz has the better Memphis 'speciality,' which is dry ribs, just a seasoning rub, no sauce on it (though you can get sauce if you want). They also make an interesting lamb BBQ. I am not, personally, fond of ribs, unless I'm in a mood.
My favorite, however, is the Corky's pulled pork plate. Their sauce is great, they accompany it with baked beans and a really good cole slaw, and their rolls are to die for. The kicker is to get an onion loaf, which is really thin onion rings smooshed down into a loaf pan. You have to cut chunks off with a knife. The don't seel that to go, for good reason, because it takes too long to fix for the drive up and it doesn't reheat well.
Both places will ship FedEx to anywhere. It's well worth it.
Memphis BBQ has won every national championship that compares regional BBQ for the last decade or so. It's the gold standard, without a doubt. The Memphis in May BBQ contest is the top of the BBQ circuit. It's a blast to attend, and even more fun to participate in (so long as you don't have to drive anywhere ;^>)
Clemm's, San Diego, CA.
You're not likely to get much response to this; FReepers are not opinionated when it comes to BBQ.
Two Brothers, Ball Ground, Ga.
They serve brisket.
Even in Ga. real bbq is sliced never chopped.
Try Harold's , it's down by the Federal prison past grant park.
Nairobi Country Club, Midland, Texas. The ribs and the secret dipping sauce are to die for.
wanna' piece of this action?
I can't remember the name, but there was a FANTASTIC BBQ place on the west-side of Norman OK...
about 20 years ago.
It was in an old, converted gasoline station structure.
Maybe this was on Porter? just a few blocks of downtown?
I don't know if they owned it, but a couple of senior-citizen ladies took orders and
delivered orders to the customer.
Including soft drinks (Coca-Cola) in the REAL-DEAL glass botles!
Going back a few years...and being an equal time guy for the Sooner and OSU Cowboys...
I will give a high, honorable mention to "Latigos" on the east side of Stillwater, OK.
I only visited twice, but they served some great BBQ.
Keegan's, Martin City, MO (Kansas City).
I'll second the Rendesvouz!
Best ribs overall.
John Mueller BBQ. Austin, TX. Brisket.
Is Corkys the place that provides airline meals for Northwest Flights that go through Memphis? If so, it was by far the best Airline food I've ever tasted and great barbecue on it's own.
Louie Mueller's Barbeque, 206 W. Second, Taylor,TX
Dreamland on Jug Factory Road in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Aside from perhaps a bag of chips and beverages, there are two things served there. Ribs and white bread.
Their sauce is similar to most in the deep south, except with a little more kick and not gloppy like ketchup. The best I've ever had.
Above the door as you walk in there's a neon sign that says: NO FARTING.
BTY, it's Stamey's in Greensboro. The one next to the coliseum...
Betty Roses
Abilene, Texas
Dreamland, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Course, I am a northern girl who visited the south one time (wish it could be more!) and have to be satisfied with Carson's BBQ in Chicago.
Wolf's Bar-B-Que and Schuyler's Bar-B-Que in Evansville, Indiana, both have ribs that are out of this world.
I have to add my Favorite in CA and Florida.
Moorpark CA. The Barbecue Joint on High Street. It is southern style and if you live anywhere in driving distance, it is unlike any CA BBQ that I have had. Southern style BBQ is where it's at, and this is it for my area.
The country's best BBQ is at my house, thank you very much.
Sorry... And for Florida it is Frogs, I think on Hwy 27 in the middle of nowhere. Anyone else know more about this place?
Sprayberrys in Newnan Ga. Lewis Gazzard's home town
If you don't mind eating off butcher paper, and wiping your hands with paper towels, LOL...
..it's great barbecue....soooo tender!!!
And the side dishes....a carbohydrate lovers dream :) ....included potato salad, great cole slaw, and oh my goodness banana pudding.
Forget counting the calories at this place.
And while I'm at it.....we also visited the BEST donot shop ever!!
The Lone Star Bakery ...home of Round Rock Donuts!!!
And CBS: "One national magazine called it the best barbecue place in the world. And, the price is right: all you can eat for $8."
And FILMBBQ.COM: "Many Texans accept barbecue as sacred, but we've only found one place that makes it a part of their church. Welcome to New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, where four days a week, Ms. Annie Ward serves up BBQ that draws followers from around the globe. Written up in "GQ" as one of the top places to fly into to eat in the WORLD (only three in U.S.), no one can touch the hard work these ladies and their cooks put into what has been dubbed by outsiders "Holy Barbecue."
OK, prove it... ;)
Martinsville, VA
I was afraid of that. LOL
Are you anywhere near West LA?
I haven't eaten there in many, many years- since childhood.
I wonder that if I would be disappointed eating the same sandwich today.
Some memories are best left memories.
Kelly's- Elba, AL.
York County, PA:
Porky's Place - http://www.porkysplacebbq.com/
Lancaster County, PA:
Tri-County BBQ - http://www.tribbq.com/
Actually, I was in Texas last year and had the best BBQ I had ever tasted.
Just north of San Antonio... "Rudy's" I think.
Unfortunately it*s not there anymore and neither are any other good BBQ places:-(

Here's Twilight super-hottie Ashley Greene and her nipples doing a photoshoot. I'm sure she didn't mean to have her nipples almost completely visible, and that she was tricked by the wardrobe guys at the shoot. Or the opposite.
I don't want to call Ashley Greene an attention whore, mainly cuz she's super pretty, so I'm going to go easy on her, but she likes being noticed. That being said, I'm more than happy to notice her.
So have you heard about Twilight already? If you have not, where have you been this last couple of months? Twilight is part of a series of vampire love books that became the teens all over the world crazy about it.
And to add a little spice to the craziness of them, Hollywood decided to make a movie about the Twilight series which has become on the new Harry Potter, but with an incredible sexy and young cast.
Part of this cast, and the stars of many teen fantasies, is the main couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who played the role of Bella and her vampire boyfriend Edward, so take a peek at the hot cast and make up your mind if you wanna know about it or not.

In Ruby/Rails, is there a "catch-all"
rescue statement that also allows for more specific
rescue possibilities? I tried
# something
rescue URI::InvalidURIError
# do something
rescue SocketError
# do something else
# do yet another thing
It turns out that even when there's
URI::InvalidURIError or
SocketError, it goes into the last
rescue (i.e. it executes
do yet another thing.) I want it to
do something, or
do something else, respectively.

Close Encounters (Mass Market Paperbound)
Kiera Smith is not like ordinary Genetically Engineered Persons . . .
The Bureau of Alien Affairs needed a special GEP agent with empathic abilities to handle their most extraordinary assignments—and a rogue geneticist saw to it that Kiera fit their specifications. But she turned out stronger, faster, smarter, and more impervious to harm than anyone anticipated. A reluctant "superhero," Kiera wishes she were normal, but it is not to be.
On Orpheus Two, the indigenous Buri race faces extinction, a prospect the powerful Dynatec corporation welcomes and, in fact, may be actively hastening. It is Kiera's job to protect these beautiful, exotic aliens . . . and to discover what there is on Orpheus Two that Dynatec feels is worth killing for.
But the magnetic allure of Thor, the breathtaking Buri leader, is proving a dangerous distraction. And now, to save Thor's people, Kiera will need a power she's never before possessed—something hidden in the unexplored recesses of her heart.

What started as a simple pastime back in the Paleozoic era, Chris now plays video games as a way to escape reality in between his numerous trips to prison. The years of institutionalization mixed with gaming 23 hours a day have taken a toll on his mind. His brain is now an undifferentiated paste with minimal activity detected. In spite of this, he pieces together words in what usually results in incoherent articles that are best described as word salad with failed attempts at humor. He is allowed to continue to partake in game journalism because living out his fantasy of being a talented writer is better than him acting out the notion that he assumed the war god's throne by killing Ares.

Unfortunately for him, he was whisked away to the blisteringly hot tropics of Florida during his teenage years, where he continued to escape from the harsh outdoors by playing games indoors. While he's not studying to be a video game programmer, you can probably find him gushing about the The Legend of Zelda, Ace Attorney, and Metal Gear, which he claims are the best things to come out of Japan.

He is addicted to being in more than one place at once, to a life that's beyond what we can live alone, to a pile of pixels on a rectangle that he thinks is art. He has too many opinions and not enough respect; because it's a game, he can take it seriously. He also likes pigs.

Discussion report
Wikivoyage links; overcategorization
- WebCite proposal
- Link rot is a problem for references on Wikipedia. WebCite is currently used to prevent linkrot by providing archives of the links. However, WebCite will stop accepting links if its fundraising goals aren't met, so concerned editors started a proposal for the Wikimedia Foundation to take over the WebCite service. There is also a suggestion to revive the dormant ArchiveLinks extension.
- Adjusting "Era style" section in MOS:NUM
- An adjustment to the dates and numbers section of the manual of style is under discussion. This adjustment would aim to end the editwarring that occurs due to confusing wording.
- Wikivoyage links
- It was suggested that Wikivoyage links be added to articles about cities and countries. This would be used to increase traffic towards Wikivoyage. While these articles already contain links near the bottom of the article, these articles tend to be long which stops some readers from getting to the bottom of the article.
- R4 Speedy deletion criteria
- This new criterion would include any redirect that points to a non-English page on a different wiki.
Requests for comment
- Request for Adminship reform
- The request for adminship process is currently under discussion. The current round of voting, Round Two, will end a few days early, this Saturday. After that, everyone is invited to attempt to determine what compromise proposal will get the broadest support, based on the results of Round Two. Round Three will be a one-week up-or-down vote on that compromise.
- Recurring items in the news
- Currently there is a notable Recurring items list for the In the news section. This contains a list of pre-approved notable events that would be included in the news section. However, users believe that the list no longer serves its original purpose.

MOSCOW (September 23, 2012)—Police in Moscow police have detained more than 130 drunken drivers over the past 24 hours, including a man who crashed his speeding car into a bus stop, killing seven people and injuring three others, authorities said.
Police said the car was traveling at more than 120 miles per hour when the driver lost control of the vehicle, which slammed into the bus stop.
The Interfax news agency reported that the driver, Alexander Maximov, 30, was arrested for drunken driving in 2010 and told police that prior to Saturday's accident he had been drinking for two days.
The driver also had received two speeding tickets this year.
Police report numerous arrests of drunken drivers, but the accident rate remains high, compounded by drivers who routinely speed and disobey traffic rules.

Energy and Global Warming News for June 16: Europe's wind power is booming; A place where peak power may disappear
Europe's wind power is booming
The European Union will continue its 2009 record-breaking pace this year for adding wind power, reports the European Wind Energy Association.
The industry group expects EU countries will install 10 gigawatts of new wind power capacity, the same as 2009's record, bringing the total to 85 GW by year's end.
"What is encouraging is that, unlike in 2009, the 2010 results consist of orders placed after the start of the financial crisis," Christian Kjaer, the group's CEO, said Monday in a statement. "Wind energy will be competing for the top spot with new gas power plants."
Europe's new gas plants produced twice as much power as its new wind turbines four years ago, but the gap narrowed sharply in 2007 and by 2008, wind had overtaken gas, reports The New York Times, citing data from the trade group. In 2009, 7 gigawatts of new gas power was installed, compared with 10 GW for wind.
A Place Where Peak Power May Disappear
Peak power in Finland doesn't occur in the afternoon. It actually happens early in the morning.
That's because many homes are equipped with electric heating systems, and consumers turn them on to keep warm in the early morning hours, according to Vesa Koivisto, the business development manager at Fortum, a large power producer and electrical distributor in the Nordic region. Power prices can swing from zero Euro cents per kilowatt hour to 1.40 Euros ($1.72) per kilowatt hour. An average home consumes about 9,000 kilowatt hours a year, he added.
"We don't have the 5 o'clock tea-time peak," he said during a meeting in Helsinki. "If you don't have district heating, chances are you are heating with electric."
The situation, though, may start to change in a few years under an ambitious program to combine time of use pricing with a regional buying pool. By 2013, all homes in Finland will be equipped with smart meters, and consumers will be able to buy power at time-of-use rates set by market on an hourly basis. Finland has had time-of-use pricing programs since the 1950s, but they have largely revolved around estimating power pricing: consumers can sign up for weekend/weekday or night/day pricing programs, but the programs aren't tied to real-time pricing. (Side note: consumers in the Nordic region get two power bills. The first comes from their power retailer for power consumed. The second comes from the distributor. The retail bill is generally higher, but the two are close, according to Koivisto.)
Local Power: Tapping Distributed Energy in 21st-Century Cities
Residents of Hammarby Sj¶stad, a district on the south side of Stockholm, Sweden, don't let their waste go to waste. Every building in the district boasts an array of pneumatic tubes, like larger versions of the ones that whooshed checks from cars to bank tellers back in the day. One tube carries combustible waste to a plant where it is burned to make heat and electricity. Another zips food waste and other biomatter away to be composted and made into fertilizer. Yet another takes recyclables to a sorting facility.
Meanwhile, wastewater is taken to a treatment plant, from whence it emerges as biosolids for more compost, biogas for heat and transportation fuel, and pure water to cool a power plant, which also runs biofuels grown with the biosolids. Looking at a chart of all this is enough to induce dizziness. "In terms of what you can do at the local level for energy efficiency and renewable energy, it's incredible. It's just amazing," says Joan Fitzgerald, author of Emerald Cities (Oxford University Press, 2010).
Silent Power's Neighborhood Solar Batteries
Solar panels make electricity when the sun shines, but the suburbs start using the most power when the mases come home from work (ie. night falls). How can utilities shift that solar energy from day to dusk, when it's most needed?
This week, Sacramento's utility SMUD turned to startup Silent Power for help. The Baxter, Minn.-based startup was named as a partner, along with GridPoint, SunPower and lithium-ion battery maker Saft, in a project funded with a $5.9 million Department of Energy smart grid stimulus grant. In its first utility pilot project, Silent Power's "OnDemand" system will hook up about 15 houses in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova with inverters that connect rooftop solar panels with batteries, controlling the flow of power between them and the grid at large, CEO Todd Headlee told us in an interview.
Spain Aims to Boost Renewable-Energy Production 67% by 2020
Spain's government aims to increase renewable-energy production by about 67 percent during the decade, even as it reduces subsidies for clean power, according to a draft proposal.
Generation capacity will climb to 70 gigawatts by 2020 from 42 gigawatts this year, according to projections in the plan to be presented this month to the European Commission. A gigawatt can power about a million washing machines.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is counting on investors to continue building new solar and wind-power installations even as he plans to reduce subsidies for the generators, which currently can earn as much as about 10 times more for their power than utilities that burn fossil fuels.
Lake Michigan climate change studied
A robotic submarine is being deployed in Lake Michigan, along with other specialized tools, to determine how young fish might cope with future climate change.
Purdue University scientists say they are correlating larval fish growth with various factors, including water temperatures near the lakeshore, where wind patterns might be altered by climate change and threaten fish populations.
"These larval fish are very vulnerable because they are not fully developed and cannot swim well, so they are really at the mercy of their environment," said Assistant Professor Tomas Hook, who is leading the research. "Growth rates during the larval stage in part determine how well young fish survive to become adults. Rapid growth allows young fish to swim faster and, thereby, avoid predators, consume more food, and actively select warmer, more favorable waters. Otherwise, they can quickly starve to death."
Previous studies suggest climate change might alter wind patterns on the Great Lakes and scientists say lake winds are important because they cause "upwelling events" that ferry cold water and nutrients from lower depths up to the near-shore zone.
Climate Change Increases Hazard Risk in Alpine Regions, Study Shows
Climate change could cause increasing and unpredictable hazard risks in mountainous regions, according to a new study from the University of Exeter and Austrian researchers. The study analyzes the effects of two extreme weather events — the 2003 heatwave and the 2005 flood — on the Eastern European Alps. It demonstrates what impact events like these, predicted to become more frequent under a changing climate, could have on alpine regions and what implications these changes might have for local communities.
The mean summer temperatures during the 2003 heat wave in a large area of the European Alps exceeded the 1961-1990 mean by 3-5ËšC. This triggered a record Alpine glacier loss that was three times above the 1980-2000 average. Furthermore, melting permafrost caused increased rock-fall activity.
Aluminum Plays Key Role in World's First Hybrid Solar Energy Plant
A global aluminum company called Norsk Hydro is supporting green jobs in the U.S. through its Extrusion Americas unit, which operates 12 aluminum extrusion facilities in the U.S. Two of the company's southeastern U.S. facilities will supply aluminum frames and other parts for a new hybrid concentrating solar facility for Florida Power & Light. Apparently the first power plant of its kind, the 500 acre solar thermal array will connect with an existing natural gas-powered plant, replacing the fossil fuel energy with solar energy during daylight hours.
In addition to growing the U.S. green jobs sector, Hydro executive Matt Dionne points out that regional sourcing was an important factor in securing the contract because it cut energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions related to shipping, and it enabled the utility company to demonstrate its commitment to local economic growth. The financial advantages of just-in-time delivery to the construction site also played a big role. As more utilities join the vanguard of sustainable energy investment, those benefits provide a stark contrast to the economic and environmental havoc wreaked by the world's latest fossil fuel disaster.

The Hybrid Solar Plant is a wonderful idea. Solar during the day and gas fired steam at night. I would add wood fired steam to the mix. But the wood that was burned would be limited to the sort of wood that winds up in the landfill: pallets, crates, storm downed limbs and trees and dead trees. No living trees would be cut for this carbon-neutral alternate generation system. Burn gas when there's no waste wood available.
" One tube carries combustible waste to a plant where it is burned to make heat and electricity. Another zips food waste and other biomatter away to be composted and made into fertilizer. Yet another takes recyclables to a sorting facility.

This efficiency can be adopted worldwide.
I'd be interested in learning how much wind in Europe costs, expressed as busbar $kwh. You here rumors here that it's already competitive with gas, but it would be nice to see detailed and transparent data, with and without subsidies.
CP interns? This could be a productive research project.
Just to add emphasis to mike's comment above, that would be really interesting to see CP.
Wind energy industry foresees 250,000 new jobs in Europe by 2020
The belief that the European wind energy industry can make a serious contribution to green growth was backed by politicians of the left and right and trade unionists at a high-level meeting held in Brussels.
By the end of 2009, the wind energy sector employed 192,000 people in Europe. In addition, European companies employ tens of thousands of people outside of Europe.
"The European Wind Energy Association expects strong growth in wind energy employment in Europe over the coming years to 280,000 by 2015 and 450,000 by 2020. That's on average, 450 new European wind energy jobs per week over the next decade" said Christian Kjaer, Chief executive of the European Wind Energy Association.
Three key areas – offshore wind, electricity grids, and the training and education of more engineers and technical staff – were identified as critical to creating those new jobs.
The coming years will see the development of a new offshore wind industry. Existing and planned European offshore wind projects would, if implemented, supply 10% of Europe's electricity. Employment in offshore is expected to exceed onshore by 2025, and by 2030, over 60% of the total employment in wind energy is expected to be in offshore wind energy.
The cost of electricity powered by fossil fuels is made up of four parts – fuel costs, CO2 costs, operation and maintenance costs and capital costs (including planning and site work). For wind energy, only two of these – operation and maintenance and capital costs – apply. In 2008, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published its World Energy Outlook with predictions on the future costs of coal, gas and wind power in 2015 and 2030. The Agency expects new wind power capacity to be cheaper than coal and gas! The IEA assumed that a CO2 price of $30 per tonne of CO2 adds $30 to every MWh of electricity powered by coal, and $15 to every MWh of electricity powered by gas. By 2015, coal will cost €82/MWh, gas will cost €101/MWh and wind power will cost less than both at €75/MWh.
Because the fuel for wind power production does not have a cost, the overall cost of wind power can be predicted with great certainty, unlike the fluctuations in the price of oil, gas and coal. Wind energy is indigenous and unlimited; the more wind power Europe produces, the less reliant it is on fossil fuels at unpredictable prices. In contrast, the increase in the price of a barrel of oil over the past few years from $20 to $80 has added $45 billion to the EU's annual gas import bill.
There are other costs not necessarily reflected in the price of electricity: the environmental, health and security costs. All conventional energy sources have far higher 'external' costs than wind.
most EU member states electricity utilities now buy electricity generated from renewable sources produced by individuals and companies. Prices paid for 'self-produced' electricity is called a feed-in tariff. Prices are in euros per kilowatt-hour (€/kWh).
'0.29-0.46' is a price range from 0.29 €/kWh to 0.46 €/kWh, depending on the amount produced.
Copenhagen Adopts a Mandatory Green Roof Policy
As part of its overall strategy to become a carbon neutral city by 2025, Copenhagen has become the first Scandanavian city to adopt a policy that requires green roofs for all new buildings with roof slopes of less than 30 degrees. Copenhagen presently has 20,000 square meters (over 215,000 square feet) of flat roofs. It is hoped that as much as 5,000 square meters of new development each year will be covered with vegetation.
@prokaryote, thanks for the good info and links. The "feed in tariffs" represent the price paid for these sources, correct? What subsidies are in place that affect these prices? Do you have comparable figures for gas produced electricity? (and of course what subsidies are in place for gas).
Thanks, prokaryote. I'd also be interested in learning about not only subsidies but also financing costs. I assume they're lower for gas than for wind, which could also change in the future.
I haven't seen studies with this level of detail, but they would be valuable.
What subsidies are in place for gas?
Obama budget seeks to end oil, gas subsidies
The Obama administration on Monday asked Congress for a second time to end some $36.5 billion in subsidies for oil and gas companies, saying it would help fight global warming.
It also said ending the subsidies would not have much of a financial impact on energy companies, as $36.5 billion represents about 1 percent of expected domestic oil and gas revenues over the coming decade.
Research and development for solar energy was given $302 million, up 22 percent; wind energy received $123 million, a 53 percent increase, and geothermal energy was given $55 million, up 25 percent.
Ending fuel subsidies to help fight global warming
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said on 9 June that an end to government subsidies for fossil fuels would both aid the fight against global warming and help cut budget deficits. "Ending fossil fuel subsidies could cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent from the levels they would otherwise reach in 2050 under 'business as usual,'" the OECD said in a statement, citing a new analysis it conducted using data from the International Energy Agency (IEA). In addition, the step makes "economic sense as governments strive to cut budget deficits in the wake of the financial and economic crisis," it said.
The IEA has estimated that subsidies to support fossil fuel consumption in emerging and developing countries totaled $557 billion in 2008. These subsidies take the form of preferential tax treatment for oil and gas production, special loan guarantees and tax exemptions for fuel use in some sectors.
Estimates on fuel subsidies in developed countries are harder to obtain because they are often transferred in indirect ways, the OECD said. "Many governments are giving subsidies to fossil fuel production and consumption that encourage greenhouse gas emissions, at the same time as they are spending on projects to promote clean energy," OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria said. "This is a wasteful use of scarce budget resources."
Leaders from the Group of 20 agreed during their September 2009 meeting in Pittsburgh to phase out "over the medium term" inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.
Senate Proposal to End $35 Billion in Oil & Gas Tax Breaks
Senator Bernie Sanders (VT-I) has proposed a measure to repeal more than US$35 billion in tax breaks for the oil and gas industry.
Sanders' plan would invest $10 billion of the savings in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program and the remaining $25 billion toward reducing the federal deficit.
Sanders, who chairs the Senate EPW's subcommittee on Green Jobs and the New Economy, said that, "If there is anything we should be learning from the Gulf disaster, it is that it is time to move aggressively away from polluting and unsafe fossil fuels, which are getting more and more difficult to produce as we move further and further offshore to drill for them."
The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently reported that global annual subsidies to fossil fuel industries total about US$557 billion – a number that exceeds previous estimates by 75 percent. According to the IEA, phasing out these subsidies by 2020 could reduce global energy consumption by 850 million tons equivalent of oil – or the combined current consumption of Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Wind-energy companies losing to cheap natural gas, lack of subsidies

Folks interested in the cost and financing of wind farms, especially in Europe, might want to read some of the posts written by "Jerome a Paris".
Jerome is involved with financing wind farms in Europe and writes good articles on Daily Kos and The Oil Drum (and other places). He did a good piece recently on DK titled "Wind's latest problem: it … makes power too cheap". Here's a little take-out…
"The key thing here is that we are beginning to unveil what I've labeled the dirty secret of wind: utilities don't like wind not because it's not competitive, but because it brings prices down for their existing assets, thus lowering their revenues and their profits."

A new documentary purporting to expose the hazards of onshore natural gas drilling illustrates its point with startling images of people setting fire to water flowing from faucets in their homes.
"GasLand," which premiers on cable's HBO on June 21, fuels the debate over shale gas and the extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, which involves blasting millions of gallons of water, sand and diluted chemicals into shale rock, breaking it apart to free the gas.
It comes at a time of heightened environmental awareness and scrutiny of the energy industry due to the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Advocates promote shale gas as an abundant and relatively clean source of energy within the United States but critics including "GasLand" director Josh Fox assert there are environmental and health risks.

During the political upheaval of the French Revolution and Reformation periods, many people fled France for other countries, and such is the case with plate decorators from the industries of same through the Sevres and Limoges regions of France, influencing the style and manner of plate decoration in English factories, as well. The plates that were produced by these same Sevres and Limoges decorators are in fact produced in England during this period and of the same quality, look and value as the old Sevres signature plates. Coalport is one such production house from this era, and this is one of the so called 'English Sevres' plates. The plates are Coalport, made for distribution by Daniell, a London retailer in the mid-1800s. The bird painting is by John Randall, and the flower/fruit painting to the center, by William Cook. With the same hand painted work, the typical fine quality, delicacy of painting and thick empasto raised gold adornments and rocailles are in ample evidence here. A superb addition to your collection (or mine!). Some time ago, I had amassed a set of 12 of these old Coalport - Daniell plates in pink, and they were sold at $500 a plate. Oh how I wish I had the entire set back again. It takes a long time to gather that many of these rare and stunning old beauties! But given time, and given our price on this and some others in stock, you might get a nice start on your own set of 12. Don't miss this set of 4, and look for the others we have that compliment it.
Very good condition, there are no chips, cracks, hairlines or surface abrasions to disclose. Very light evidence of its advanced age. Dates 1840-60, roughly. Superb!

Exhibit aims to show future stars
By Lavanya Ramanathan
Friday, Feb. 3, 2012
All Lauren Gentile wanted was a few leads.
For the inaugural D.C. show of her new gallery, Contemporary Wing, she planned to feature artists who might be the next big things. She just needed their names.
Gentile, who until last summer was the gallery director of Irvine Contemporary, perhaps had an outsize ambition for "Next Generation," the show that opens Saturday. She wanted to show artists whom the art world would be buzzing about in a few years, and she wanted them selected by the "30 Americans," renowned African American artists whose work is part of a major exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
"I was thinking, 'Wouldn't it be awesome if I knew who they thought were going to be the next '30 Americans'?" she recalls. That simple question led to a nine-month odyssey that involved pleading e-mails, calling in favors - and spreadsheets.
To reach as many of the artists in the "30 Americans" show as she could, she says, "I started with a spreadsheet. Who's alive? Who do I know who knows them? Who represents them?"
She began by writing the galleries that represent the "30 Americans" artists, including Gary Simmons, whose "Duck, Duck, Noose," an installation with Ku Klux Klan hoods, has been one of the talkers of the Corcoran exhibit; breakout painter Kehinde Wiley, who has a large-scale stunner in the show; and sculptor Nick Cave, whose towering, joyous "soundsuits" flank the entry to that exhibit.
With a new gallery far outside the New York market, Gentile, 32, hit a wall. "It's very difficult to get people to respond to you," she says. She turned to Plan B, writing to the "30 Americans" directly and asking colleagues and collectors to reach out to any of them whom they knew.
"Oh, I went down to the Facebook level," Gentile recalls, "trust me."
Slowly, the names of artists for "Next Generation" began to roll in.
"This is a hard decision for me to select only one artist that I feel is doing very interesting and smart work," wrote Cave, who instead recommended two: Chicago installation artist Cheryl Pope and fiber artist Sonya Clark of Richmond. "I hope these artists will add another dimension to the amazing exhibition you are curating."
"I look forward to seeing the grouping of artists," wrote Simmons, who nominated the Oakland, Calif.-based abstractionist painter David Huffman.
In all, Contemporary Wing homed in on 12 artists suggested by members of the "30 Americans" group; only one of the 12, Wyatt Gallery, has shown work in Washington before. Half are women; half are African American.
That is the allure of "Next Generation," says Blake Kimbrough, an adviser to Contemporary Wing and vice chair of Brooklyn's Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art: It will give Washingtonians a look at emerging artists with national significance without a road trip to New York. And the selections of the "30 Americans," he adds, reflect that the established artists "are also being influenced by a wide range of people. The community is not as insular as it once was."
Much of the work is as large and ambitious as Gentile's vision for the show. So the gallery, located at the old Irvine Contemporary space at 1412 14th St. NW, has gone off-site, to a drafty, raw, brick-walled warehouse space at 1250 Ninth St. NW.
The nearly 5,000-square-foot space has given the artists room to play: Documentary photographer Gallery (nominated by conceptual photo artist Hank Willis Thomas) will get an entire wall for his 22 photos exploring the tent cities erected in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. Installations will come from multimedia artist Kira Lynn Harris (nominated by installation artist Rodney McMillian), and a darkened area will be dedicated to Gary Pennock's light, sound and video work.
"People would assume Washington likes safe works," Gentile says. "But Washington likes difficult works. So I picked a lot of difficult work."
A piece from Brooklyn artist Karyn Olivier was perhaps too difficult. The double slide, reminiscent of something you'd find on a playground, was 23 feet across - not just a challenge to ship, but hard just to get in the door. It didn't make the show. "I was hell-bent on bringing this piece to Washington. Then I looked in the mirror one day, and I said, 'You're not Mary Boone,' " Gentile says with a laugh, referring to the famed New York gallerist who showed the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat in the '80s. "You're a bootleg Mary Boone."

I always used the Full Disk Encryption option of the alternate installer, but now I need to keep another OS running in the first partition but that option seems only to be able to use the whole disk. I tried to manually set up the encrypted volume and then an LVM on top of it with the partitions I need but the grub install failed (with no more information than that). I guess I need some additional step or maybe the boot partition should be out of the lvm.
I searched for instructions on how to do this but couldn't find any, I could try again this time with the boot partition but then that might be right but still missing something, so I'm asking to see if I can save some time and patience and also to document how to do it.

Field Guide to Foreign Investment Trends in the U.S.
(Updated July 2015)
Despite potential risks such as a depressed housing market, dealing with foreign laws, fluctuating exchange rates, etc., cross-border investment is expected to accelerate as domestic investors seek high returns abroad and foreign investors take advantage of a weakened dollar. The steadily rising influx of capital into U.S. markets and limited supply of product have altered the way the game is played. This Field Guide offers information and sources for those considering foreign investment opportunities. (D. Winchester, Information Specialist)

Mayor proposes new restrictions on gun carrying in Madison
"Big fish, little pond", syndrome.
I thought perhaps from what I've been reading in the news lately regarding CC in Wisconsin that maybe things were getting better...but obviously not. Wisconsin is still suffering from a "terminal" case of Illinios-itis. PACK UP AND RUN, leave, don't look back...move to a FREE State...hurry :outtahere:
Well, he can pass that law. However, state law trumps local laws in Wisconsin so it will become invalidated as soon as the CC law goes live, or never if the CC law goes into effect first. At worst, someone will file a lawsuit and have it struck down eventually. In no way will it become permanent unless the CC law gets vetoed.
That, and Wisconsin permits OC now with few restrictions. That law could also be used to declare anything passed null and void too.
It's the liberal stupidity in the two big crime ridden cities of my semi-fair state.
The new bill has preemption right in the bill. This is liberal politicians trying to do things tonmake themselves feel better.
You vote for stupid politicians...you get stupid laws...imagine that
The Milwaukee PD policy is to pronate anyone OCing, even though the AG sent a memo to all LE that OC is legal. When the new law takes effect, things will straighten out. Already bully cities, like Madison, have had their insurance carriers make payouts for OC misunderstandings.

Financial integration, capital misallocation and global imbalances
This paper shows that in a stylized model with two countries, characterized by different levels of financial development, the following facts can be replicated: 1) persistent current account surpluses and 2) high TFP growth in China. Under autarky, entrepreneurs in the emerging country overinvest in short-term projects and underinvest in long-term projects because short-term assets help them secure long-term investments in the presence of credit constraints. This creates an aggregate misallocation of capital. When financial markets integrate, entrepreneurs with long-term projects can have access to cheaper short-term assets abroad, which leaves them with more resources to invest in their projects. This both reduces capital misallocations and generates capital outflows.

Air it out
New Mexico Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill Richardson deserves the benefit of the doubt.
It is likely the Richardson campaign was unaware that U.S. Defense Department regulations prohibit military personnel from appearing in uniform in an endorsement of a political candidate.
The regulation even applies to retirees, which is why the Richardson camp got into trouble last week regarding a television ad featuring a retired Air Force official.
Retired Chief Master Sgt. Gary Overdier of Clovis appears in the ad supporting Richardson's opposition of federal military base closures. The testimonial would not be a problem, only that Overdier is in uniform.
Military personnel in full uniform in a political ad can give the illusion of an endorsement by the U.S. military as a whole, therefore the reason for the regulation.
Richardson's spokesmen said Thursday they were unaware of the regulation, and the ad will be changed. Fair enough.
Money talks
The agreement by former Enron Corp. executive Michael Kopper to repay $12 million pilfered from Enron investors should be a down payment.
Kopper pleaded guilty Wednesday to participating in the one-time energy giant's downfall, which also took down the financial futures of countless Enron employees and stockholders.
As part of his deal with federal investigators, Kopper, the first Enron executive to officially face justice, agreed to forfeit $12 million he illegally gained from Enron's questionable business practices. Kopper also faces time behind bars and has agreed to participate in the ongoing investigation.
According to federal prosecutors, Kopper's ill-gotten gains will be forwarded to Enron shareholders unaware of the company's book-cooking schemes that inflated its stock price.
Twelve million dollars is a significant amount of change, but a drop in the bucket compared to the millions lost when Enron imploded because of the criminal activity of its leadership.
It will be difficult, if not impossible, to recoup all the money that was, in the simplest terms, stolen from employees and investors. This is a good start, though, and hopefully those responsible will pay now - and later.
Out of bounds
If the goal of NCAA athletic eligibility requirements is to create a confusing double standard, then award the gold medal.
U.S. Olympic skier Jeremy Bloom turned down skiing and sponsorship endorsement deals Aug. 19 to pursue his childhood dream of playing college football for the University of Colorado.
NCAA rules prohibit endorsement deals by college athletes.
After losing his case against the NCAA in court, Bloom decided to forego his skiing endorsements and compete on the gridiron.
The NCAA's endorsement prohibition would be understandable if not for exemptions that permit athletes to compete professionally in one sport while participating as an amateur in a collegiate sport, such as professional minor-league baseball players later returning to school to play football.
While it is true that college athletes would profit from endorsements, thereby clouding their amateur status, is there that much difference in permitting athletes to be paid in one sport and later retain eligibility in another? Be it from an endorsement or on-the-field performance, these athletes would be getting paid for their athletic skill.

This was delicious, I had intended to switch out the broccoli for snap peas, but DH who was cooking at the time, forgot about it. So it's very good without either one! Our 4 YO also enjoyed this. It's definitely going in my keeper file.
*Made for SSaSSy's ZWT6* This is a wonderful dish, full of flavor and texture. I did thicken up the sauce with a little cornstarch. Served over rice. Thanks.
Made for dinner tonight and was enjoyed by all. The sauce was great. Served over rice. Made for ZWT6 - No-Nonsense Nibblers

One out of eight women thinks marriage is a must, the recent survey conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare released April 10 showed. Only 13 percent of women said women should get married.
Men with the same opinion took up about twice the portion, 26 percent, according to the survey "The survey of the nationwide state of marriage and birthrate."
Three years ago, the gap between the opinion of men and women was only about six percent, but the gap has been widening. Women turned out to be more disagreeing to the conventional thought.
While the figure of men agreeing dropped by three percent from 70 percent to 67 percent, women's did by seven percent from 63 percent to 56 percent. The main reasons for avoiding the marriage were job insecurity and being short of money, according to the survey.
Eighty-seven percent of men and 86 percent of women said so. Also, women were getting more open to divorcing. To the questionnaire "Divorce is okay if problems arise," women saying "yes" increased gradually, 18 percent in 2003 to 13 percent in 2006 to 27 percent in 2012.
Among the surveyed who were married, 28 percent of women said divorce is okay if problems arise, while only 20 percent of men agreed.
Kim Seung-kwon, an official from Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, who led this study said, "Unlike foreign countries, Many Koreans still think that couples should have babies. This notion is the main culprit for the drop in birthrate."
