Seven of the World's Weirdest Foods
I'm an inveterate traveler. Part of what I love about visiting new places is the pure thrill of novelty. But what I love even more is the visceral pleasure of expanding my own knowledge of the world, of pushing ever more against the boundaries of what I consider to be quotidian. With each trip I take, my expected parameters of "normality" change, and that's never more the case than it is with food and drink.
For example, sitting in the shade of a mango tree on the edge of a rice farm in northeastern Thailand many years ago, a home cook served me a plate of larb mote daeng, a spicy, herbaceous, brightly flavorful salad made up, for the most part, of ant eggs. It's a rule for me that I'll try anything, and when I first put the food in my mouth—well, it was weird. But it very quickly stopped being weird and started just being delicious—one of the best things I've ever eaten, actually, and an entirely normal food for that part of the world. That's why it's hard to label a food "weird": To someone, somewhere, it's not weird; it's their daily bread.
That said, there are some things that we humans eat that for all their ubiquity in one culture or another, are just plain strange when you spend a minute or two thinking about them. Here are a few of my favorites.
Honey. This wonderful substance is, when you get right down to it, entirely bizarre. Honeybees make their rounds drinking sweet, sugary nectar from the flowers they visit, a thin liquid that's eventually transformed into honey by the bees regurgitating it, re-consuming it, re-regurgitating it, re-re-eating it, and so on. It's not just bee vomit—it's many-times-vomited bee vomit. But it's also one of the most exquisite flavors on earth, rich and complex. And is there anything better atop a warm scone?
Dry-aged beef is funky, sour, meaty, savory. A gorgeously cooked dry-aged steak is one of the finest things you can put on a plate. But let's be clear here: It's rotten meat. Its moldy, gnarly, blue-green rawness triggers all sorts of alarms in our brain: This is bad! This is wrong! This is going to make us sick! But then—like so many other amazing rotting or rotten fermented foods—it doesn't. Instead of being incredibly poisonous, it's just incredible.
Speaking of rot, what do you get when you throw a bunch of hacked-up fish into a clay urn with a bit of salt, seal it all up, and not open the vessel until it's so noxious and fermented that it's transformed into a black, bubbly, viscous liquid? That would be pla ra, a sort of pure, extra virgin fish sauce from Southeast Asia. In Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia, this dark, nasty-looking fish-gut syrup is an essential condiment, a dose of umami so concentrated and flavorful it's almost violent. And now that I've had it, I can't imagine life without it.
Fermentation is, when you think about it, an astonishingly weird transformation. The next time you've got a beautiful glass of wine or a great, hoppy beer in front of you, close your eyes and take a sip and think about what you're really drinking. What is alcohol, anyway? Take some perfectly nutritious food like fruit or grains, introduce some yeast—tiny, utterly bizarre living creatures in and of themselves—and sit back and wait for them to consume all the sugars and excrete a chemical substance that's toxic in large doses, burns our mouth and throat, and produces pretty significant cognitive impairment. It's prized, it's hoarded, wars have been fought for it. And let's be honest: Who couldn't use a little cognitive impairment now and then?
Duck is delicious. Duck eggs are fantastic. And then there's balut. Perhaps the ultimate hybrid food, this Filipino delicacy inhabits the blurry shadowland between the two. It's a fertilized duck egg whose embryo has been allowed to develop for two or three weeks before the egg is cooked whole, and eaten. Crack open the shell and find something akin to the best chicken soup you've ever had, brothy and meaty and rich, coupled with the silkiest egg yolk—and also an embryonic chick, tiny beak and all, with tender, savory, absolutely delicious flesh. I'll admit that I tried balut for the first time on a dare, but I became so enamored of the flavor that I now seek it out.
Jambu is a leafy green native to Amazonian Brazil. You'll see it at markets everywhere there—it looks a little like spinach, a little like dandelion greens. Take a bite, and your first thought is "oh, this is nice." That's replaced about a millisecond later by a lemony sourness that immediately blossoms into the feeling of having downed a glass full of novocaine. The buzzy, anaesthetic effect is akin to ma la—the tingling, numbing feeling you get from Sichuan peppercorns—and it's exhilarating. Maybe it's the adrenaline rush that comes from that first bite, but almost everyone who tries it goes back for more.
You couldn't very well have a list of weird foods without talking about the uniquely American habit of taking things that are real, edible, natural foods and remaking them entirely into strange chemical facsimiles of themselves, and to me, the king of foods that are not foods is McDonald's magical, mysterious, mint-flavored shamrock shake. Sure, it may contain real milk, but this seasonal treat—it comes out each year around St. Patrick's Day—contains more unpronounceable ingredients than you'd expect, it's a riotous Day Glo green, and around the time it was first introduced in the 1970s it bore the terrifying mascot of Uncle O'Grimacey, a grinning, globular green monster. But like all the other weird foods on this list, I think it's delicious, and I make a point of having one every year. Just because it's weird, it doesn't mean it's bad.

What happens when CKD gets worse?
Even with the right treatments, CKD can get worse over time. Your kidneys could stop working. This is called kidney failure. If this happens, waste builds up in your body and acts like a poison. This poisoning can cause vomiting, weakness, confusion and coma.
If your kidneys have failed, your doctor will send you for dialysis (say: "die-al-uh-sis"). During dialysis, a special machine is used to filter the blood and remove waste that builds up. One kind of dialysis has to be done in a clinic. For another kind of dialysis, the machine is so small it can be strapped to your body while you go about your daily activities. If you need dialysis, your doctor will talk with you about which kind of dialysis machine you can use.

Concord Monitor: In Youssef case, AG's ruling undercut by its timing
If voters weren't sure what to make of the blog flap before heading to the polls back in 2012, the AG's ruling here in 2013 was of no use to them. Nor does it act as much of a disincentive to other candidates tempted to do the wrong thing.

After water tea is the most popular beverage consumed in the world. That may be a surprise for many living in the U.S. who only drink tea when they are sick or looking to chill out or relax. Of course, iced tea is consumed by the gallons here in the South and in refrigerated icy bottles drunk up like soda pop. But, good old fashioned hot tea reigns supreme in many parts of the world when it comes to what people drink on a daily basis.
Why is tea so popular? Tea is an ancient drink with a rich history. Many reasons exist that stem from the intrinsic benefits of the tea plant itself and others from cultural and historical develpoments. Here are some explanations not listed in any particular order of importance.
1. Taste and Variety: It's plain and simple – tea tastes good and there is a lot of variety to taste. Whether hot or iced, tea refreshes and uplifts with its unique tastes and flavors. Like wine, the terroir or where its grown imparts a distinctive taste profile that can yield memorable and savory moments with a cup. Whether it's a sencha green tea from Japan, yunan black tea from China or a Darjeeling from India, drinking tea becomes a vehicle for discovery and exploration.
2. Accessibility, Cost and Convenience of Making: Accessibility, cost and the convenience of making has made tea an important part of daily life around the globe. You can find tea in any store or market. Of course, the quality may vary but with tea's growing popularity premium whole leaf tea is more readily available than in the past.
Although tea may appear to be expensive at first glance, when you factor in the actual cost per serving, it's one of the world's most affordable luxuries. The quantity of tea used to make a cup will vary depending upon the tea type, but the industry standard is that on average a pound of tea can yield around 200 cups. This is much higher than a pound of coffee which yields around 40-50 cups. Keep in mind that with some oolong and green teas you can also steep multiple times further impacting the overall cost per serving analysis.
3. The Importance of Ritual and Participatory Culture: The importance of the ritual of tea drinking plays a central role in many cultures around the world. Developed in China, the original tea ceremony focuses on the actual tea itself including the taste, smell and look versus the more predefined Japanese tea ceremony with strict, memorialized rules. In China, the host and those enjoying the tea will drink tea for a number of reasons including honoring guests, showing appreciation, celebrating a life event and much more.
The Japanese tea ceremony (The Way of Tea or Chado) is highly revered for its connection with Zen Buddism and a refined attention to detail. The preparation and serving of matcha tea is elevated to performance art with an emphasis on aesthetics and harmony. Drinking strong black tea from a Samovar is a key component of Russia's tea culture tradition. In Morroco, drinking mint tea (a mixture of gunpowder green, fresh mint leaves and sugar) is a national pastime. You can find chai wallahs everywhere in India serving up fresh cups of chai tea. Afternoon and high tea in England highlight the importance to the British of tea in society and their culture.
4. Caffeine: Let's be honest – lots of people like tea because it's a good alternative to coffee and provides them with a caffeine boost. Waking up or making it through a long afternoon at work can be difficult. A hot cup of tea provides a nice pick-me-up and makes it easier to get through the day.
5. Health Benefits: Many studies have been published that have concluded that tea may have positive health benefits. You can learn more here about the health benefits of tea.

Middle English (also in the sense 'comfortable, tranquil'): from Old French aisie, past participle of aisier 'put at ease, facilitate' (see ease).
Both easy and ease (Middle English) go back via Old French aisier to Latin adjacens 'lying close by', source also of adjacent (Late Middle English). Easy-peasy 'childishly easy' is only recorded from the 1970s. The 'peasy' is simply a rhyme and the childish word intensifies the sense.

VIENNA, 22 January 2014 - Ambassador Aliyar Lebbe Abdul Azeez, the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka, today officially took over the chairmanship of the Group of 77 (G-77) Vienna Chapter. He succeeds Ambassador Mahmoud Elamin, the Permanent Representative of the Sudan, whose leadership during 2013 was highly praised by representatives of the G-77 Member States.
The incoming Chair, Aliyar Lebbe Abdul Azeez, said that his election to the position would be welcomed by the Government of Sri Lanka which stresses stewardship on issues of global importance for developing countries through a well-established policy of constructive cooperation and dialogue in order to maximize the outcome for the countries of the South.
The main focus of the G-77 Vienna Chapter, which is financed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), is the promotion of technical cooperation activities and international cooperation. The Chapter coordinates the work of the G-77 in Vienna, holding an average of 140 group meetings each year, and preserves its institutional memory.
The G-77 Vienna Chapter serves all the Vienna-based UN organizations, including the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the UN Office in Vienna (UNOV).
The executive heads of UNIDO - LI Yong; the IAEA - Yukiya Amano; and the CTBTO - Lassina Zerbo; as well as John Sandage, Director of Treaty Affairs at the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), took part in today's ceremony.
The G-77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries in the United Nations, and as such it provides the means for the countries of the South to articulate and promote their collective economic interests and enhance their joint negotiating capacity on all major international economic issues within the United Nations system, and promote South-South cooperation for development.
The G-77 was established on 15 June 1964 by seventy-seven developing countries during the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva. Although the membership of the G-77 has increased to 132 countries, the original name has been retained because of its historic significance.
The work of the G-77 is organized through the various Chapters based in New York, Geneva, Nairobi, Paris, Rome and Vienna. The Group sponsors and negotiates resolutions and decisions at global conferences and other meetings dealing with international cooperation, economy and development that are held under the aegis of the United Nations.

I recently changed from QCad 2.1 to 2.2 and found out that I cannot activate the command line for text input by pressing space anymore, I have to move the cursor there by mouse and click in order to be able to input commands. Is this a bug or a feature? It is quite annoying when doing some repetitive actions requiring mouse and command line after each others.
Another odd thing is that while using the same line type and thickness selection the dashed line is scaled to approximately ten times longer dashes, than in the same drawing previously made with QCad 2.1.

HARRISBURG – Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) would like to let residents know that forms for the state's Property Tax/Rent Rebate program for tax year 2012 are now available.
Eligible participants can receive a rebate of up to $650 based on their rent or property taxes paid in 2012. The program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians who are 65 years or older, widows and widowers 50 years or older, and those 18 years or older with permanent disabilities.
Eligibility income limits for homeowners are set at the following levels, excluding 50 percent of Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits:
$0 to $8,000, maximum $650 rebate (Homeowners and renters).
$8,001 to $15,000, maximum $500 rebate (Homeowners and renters).

$18,001 to $35,000, maximum $250 rebate (Homeowners only).
The Property Tax/Rent Rebate program is one of many initiatives supported by the Pennsylvania Lottery, which dedicates its proceeds to support programs for older Pennsylvanians. Since the program began in 1971, $4.8 billion has been paid to qualified applicants.
Residents are reminded to provide all the necessary income, property tax or rental information required to process claims quickly and accurately. Applications are due by June 30.

Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 12:41 a.m.
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves will retire Chipper Jones' number and induct him into the team's hall of fame on June 28.
The Braves announced Tuesday they will hold a banquet and ceremony honoring Jones before their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Jones spent his entire two-decade career with the Braves before retiring after last season. He won the National League MVP in 1999, claimed the league batting title in 2008, and was an eight-time All Star.
No. 10 will be 10th number retired by the Braves, joining Hank Aaron's 44, Eddie Mathews' 41, Dale Murphy's 3, Phil Niekro's 35, Warren Spahn's 21, Greg Maddux's 31, Tom Glavine's 47, Bobby Cox's 6, and John Smoltz's 29. All major league teams retired No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson.

Historic Landrum church will offer seasonal services
Published: Friday, November 30, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 5:06 p.m.
The members and pastor of Jacksons Grove Church, 2842 N. Pacolet Road, Landrum, will present several special services to observe the Christmas holiday.
Because of its popularity, the church's traditional Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be offered twice this year — at 5 and 8 p.m. Dec. 24. Holy communion will be celebrated at each service.
The church was founded in the early 1830s and still worships in a sanctuary built in 1875.
In addition to these services, the church will offer "A Blue Christmas Service: Attending to the Other Sounds of the Season" at 4 p.m. Dec. 19.
"This service will help us acknowledge the dark side of the season," said the Rev. Mike Bowers. "It will address the battle waged in many people's lives and in our communities — against depression, anxiety, loss, violence and forces of evil all around us."
For more information, call Bowers at 864-316-1784.
Call, e-mail or mail Dustin Wyatt at: 864-562-7214, firstname.lastname@example.com, or In the Pews, Herald-Journal, P.O. Box 1657, Spartanburg, SC 29304.

I can't believe this was such a great sale! If they had other colors at that price point, I'd buy at least half a dozen more. The two I bought are an excellent embellishment for the bench made for my spouse's home office.
I really like the velvet texture of this pillow. It is soft and a little texture-y but still a casual comfortable pillow. I combined this with some purple pillows and it works well. We have used it in our primary living spaces for over 6 months and it still looks new. The price cannot be beat. It is easy to spot clean. The stuffing does not get clumped in one spot or another and it is both soft and supportive.

The Los Angeles Kings have found their offense and used it to work their way up our weekly NHL ranking.
The Pittsburgh Penguins unseat the St. Louis Blues for top spot in this week's THN.com NHL Power Rankings. But although Sidney Crosby's return and the Blues' astonishing turnaround under coach Ken Hitchcock have received much attention as of late, the streaking Los Angeles Kings could be stepping into a much larger spotlight very soon.

The Canucks stay on top, but there's some movement into the No. 2 position and the Sabres make some noise.
Does anybody want to finish eighth in the Eastern Conference? It sure doesn't seem that way. Maybe it's because having the New York Rangers as a first round opponent is a daunting task (just kidding, no pro team would give up that easy), but what at once seemed like a race between Florida, Washington, Winnipeg and Toronto has now opened up to include the likes of Tampa Bay and Buffalo.

As a new team takes over top spot in our weekly NHL ranking, the Dallas Stars are making a push for the post-season.
The Vancouver Canucks have dethroned the Detroit Red Wings as top team on THN.com's NHL Power Rankings. And making a late charge up our list and into playoff contention are the Dallas Stars.
by Adam Proteau - February 21, 2012 3:15 PM UTC
While Detroit stays on top, Vancouver is making a charge and will faceoff against the Wings this week.
Once again, the Red Wings and Rangers enjoy the top two spots in the THN.com Power Rankings. However, there is a new No. 3 team – the Vancouver Canucks, who haven't lost in regulation in their past 13 games (10-0-3) and who could pass Detroit for top spot in the West this week.
by Adam Proteau - February 13, 2012 4:38 PM UTC
While the Red Wings and Rangers continue to be the cream of the crop, the Phoenix Coyotes are surprising us all once again.
Detroit and the Rangers remain the class of the NHL in this week's THN.com Power Rankings. And a team that many expect to fall out of the playoff race virtually every year – the Phoenix Coyotes – are storming up the chart.
by Adam Proteau - February 6, 2012 3:05 PM UTC
New Jersey is surging and taking a real run at the top spot in THN.com's weekly rundown of NHL clubs.
The Red Wings and Rangers hang on to the top two spots in this week's THN.com NHL Power Rankings. However, hot on their heels are the increasingly dangerous New Jersey Devils, winners of nine of their past 13 games and challengers of the Penguins and Flyers for second spot in the Atlantic Division.
by Adam Proteau - January 31, 2012 4:25 PM UTC
The Red Wings hold on to top spot in our weekly rankings, but the LA Kings eye a move up.
The Detroit Red Wings retain the No. 1 position in the first post-all-star-weekend THN.com NHL Power Rankings. Making a smaller push toward the top 10 are the up-and-down Los Angeles Kings, who lost just twice in regulation (out of 11 games) in January and are aiming to dethrone the San Jose Sharks for top spot in the Pacific Division.
by Adam Proteau - January 23, 2012 3:25 PM UTC
As the Wings take to a familiar spot, the Penguins surge despite being without Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal.
The red-hot Wings – winners of six straight games – ascend to the top spot in this week's Power Rankings, knocking the Rangers down to second.
by Adam Proteau - January 16, 2012 3:20 PM UTC
The usual suspects dot the top, but it's that team that's always lying in the weeds that's beginning to rise.
The top three teams from last week's THN.com NHL power rankings – the Rangers, Bruins and Sharks – have retained their spots, but the Nashville Predators are making noise this week.
by Adam Proteau - January 9, 2012 3:30 PM UTC
The San Jose Sharks are surging as expected, but there is a new, surprising team, at No. 1.
The New York Rangers are atop THN.com's NHL Power Rankings for the first time this season, but the San Jose Sharks are looking nearly as formidable.
by Adam Proteau - January 3, 2012 4:15 PM UTC
The Boston Bruins continue their dominance, but our eyes this week are on another Northeast team.
The Boston Bruins retain top spot in this week's THN.com NHL Power Rankings, but there's a new, unexpected team from the same division entering the playoff picture.

Recently I ve been addicted to all the Ryobi 1 tools, it all started with the 40v electric lawn mower, then soon expanded to all the other 18v power tools. On a sunday morning drive I decided to stop by home depot to pick up some wood stain samples but ended up buying a pressure washer (mostly because it was green and matched my rapidly growing tool collection)
When I came out of the store with the very bulky box, I realized I wasn't in my SUV!

This is awesome!
Anyone that trusts a product enough to use on a 6 figure car, is a convincer.
I'm convinced!
It's great when the dealership lets the detail boy run out and pick up a new pressure washer. I mean why is a guy who owns a Lamborghini trying to win a free tool?
Actually, I did'nt even know this site was for people to win free tools...
I just posted on here to share my projects for fun. Also I am pretty sure dealerships would'nt let a detail boy take a $400k car out to pick up a pressure washer..
Come pick me up, I'll leave my wheel chair and take me out for a beer so I can act like it's my ride and we'll pick up a couple of girls, my wife will be at work, and I'll forgive you. I also have all these votes to give out, maybe you'll get a free tool. Just kiddin about the whole thing, totally jealous that your car can buy three of my houses. Really, something you should brag about! Lug

SAN FRANCISCO - The Freedom Train will likely run again next year on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day after last-minute ticket sales for the commemorative ride from San Jose and San Francisco skyrocketed.
Some 1,031 riders took the chartered Caltrain ride by the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Association of Santa Clara Valley for nearly 30-year tradition this morning.
"It was more diverse than we've ever seen it," organizer and association president Kathleen Flynn said.
She said residents of all backgrounds and from all parts of the Bay Area and beyond took the ride that included gospel singers, U.S. Marshals members speaking about the history of the civil rights movement, and local dignitaries including San Jose City Councilman Ash Kalra talking about civil rights.
"If everyone continues to step up, we'll keep running the train," she said.
The ride between the two Bay Area cities is about the same distance as the 54 miles between Selma and Montgomery, Ala., which King and other civil rights activists marched in March 1965.
The association foots the $5,000 bill to charter the train, and this year decided to modify the ride with passengers only getting on in San Jose. The train then went directly into San Francisco to meet up with a march that headed to an MLK celebration at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Gardens.
Any surplus from ticket sales goes to the group's scholarship fund, Flynn said.
She said next year the train would again run without stopping. In past years the train has picked up riders in Sunnyvale, Palo Alto and San Mateo.
As the number of participants dwindles -- Flynn said there used to be as many as 1,600 riders, and only 1,200 participated last year -- the future of the ride is threatened.
At the end of last week only about 300 tickets had been purchased, prompting Flynn to put out an urgent call for more ticket sales.
She said participants today came from as far as Sacramento, Los Angeles, Hollister and the East Bay.
Berkeley resident Andrea Scruggs, 42, took her first Freedom Train ride this morning.
She said she was intrigued by the stories the U.S. Marshals told on the train and was happy she had decided to join her neighbor to go on the ride.
"I've always wanted to do it," she said. She usually spends the day off at home with family.
She said although many people ultimately ended up riding the train, she was worried about the future of the Freedom Train.
"We've got to try to keep the train going," she said.
Jamil Shaikh, a Mountain View resident and member of the city's human relations commission, took the train to the festivities in San Francisco as he has in past years.
"We're taking it for granted," he said about the train and encouraged others to join the ride.
He said the best part about taking the train and being part of the MLK celebrations with his partner is "we were able to meet so many people."
He said some highlights of the train ride included hearing San Jose city council members speak along with the San Jose police chief.
When the train reached San Francisco, the riders joined others for a roughly 1.5-mile walk to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for an annual festival hosted by the Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Foundation.
On their way to the festival, the marchers crossed the Lefty O'Doul Bridge near AT&T Park to commemorate the crossing of the Edmund Pettus Bridge during a march King led with other civil rights advocates in 1965 from Selma to Montgomery, Ala.
The march continued down Third Street where Rochelle Woods was walking as part of a contingent with Jack and Jill of America's San Jose chapter.
A Campbell resident, Woods said she joined the African-American family association so that her 10-year-old son would be part of the local African-American community.
There were about 100 members from different Bay Area chapters participating in today's march, she said.
She said today's march was "a good experience from my son" who lives in a part of the Bay Area were there aren't that many fellow African-American boys.
On their way up on Caltrain from the San Jose area, the family group sang songs and played MLK and civil rights trivia with the dozens of children, including some as young 3 years old, who had joined their parents, Woods said.
Fellow marcher Cyndy Simms, 63, came up from San Mateo to join her daughter who is part of AmeriCorps.
Simms was holding a sign with a King quote about education.
She said today was "very much a celebration" and she was "pleased how peaceful" the march was.
The procession of more than 1,000 ended at Yerba Buena Gardens for a noon interfaith ceremony led by the San Francisco Interfaith Council.
At the ceremony, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, addressed the crowd on the sunny Yerba Buena lawn.
She reflected on King's legacy and the power he had to bring people together.
"The legacy that he left us we must fight for," she said.
She said in the spirit of King, residents must keep up the fight for affordable healthcare, voting rights, unemployment benefits, a higher minimum wage and other social injustices.
"We have a lot of work to do what (King) laid out for us," she said.
After the crowd sang verses from the protest song "We Shall Overcome," San Francisco Supervisor David Chiu also spoke on the lasting impact of King and the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
"His movement has shaped us as a city," Chiu said.
He credited King for making San Francisco a beacon of tolerance and acceptance for all types of people.
"San Francisco stands up for the values of (King)," he said.
Like Pelosi, he said, "there's still a lot of work we have to do."
He mentioned disproportionate rates of suspensions for black children within the city's school district, and the struggle for homeowners and tenants to keep their homes amid rampant evictions and foreclosures.
He called for residents to "rededicate ourselves to (King's) work, our work."
Supervisors London Breed, Scott Wiener, Malia Cohen and Eric Mar also attended the ceremony.
The free festival at Yerba Buena continued with activities, performances, speakers and children's events until 5 p.m.

Ride it like you stole it.
Split time between mobbing through the park with your crew and slashing
deep, bottomless pow in the trees with the Rome Women's Heist Snowboard.
The Heist is Rome's sister stick to the highly acclaimed Reverb Rocker,
giving you peak-to-park performance with a highly versatile MtnPop Rocker 2.0 profile.
MtnPop Rocker puts rocker between the bindings for a forgiving feel and float in powder, while camber towards the tips provides edge hold, power, and pop. A Hotrods Bamboo Glass Barrel adds some stiffness for extra ollie power without sacrificing torsional flex, and the QuickRip sidecut features additional contact points near the bindings that allow the board to feel loose at low speeds while still maintaining edge hold at speed.
Two zones of a lighter weight wood team up with poplar for smooth, predictable flex and loads of pop, and biax glass provides a consistent flex for smooth turns and tweaked presses. It's finished off with a fast and durable SinterTrue base that keeps you moving across slow spots and can handle abuse from rails and rocks.

LOVE this too! So elegant and smooth in launch and operation. I agree with the above poster, it's what PE for Mac should be!
I really wanted to like this app... but it's buggy and slow. And EVERY single time I try to use the eraser tool, it crashes.
One thing this application need:
A Unified interface: one window for everything. (At the very least, an effort to consolidate as many windows as possible, to a maximum of 2-3 windows.) Plus, utilizing folding tabs and perhaps some window border snapping on top of that.
Appearingly, Pixelmator shows the ambition of being trendy, "delicious", as well as staying current with the latest and greatest. My impression is that recent usability trends are leaning more towards UIs providing single-window operation. Which makes me wonder why the Pixelmator developers seems to spend too much time perfecting unimportant cosmetics (interface icons and likewise), when the whole shebang has been wrapped in a very ineffective, unglorifying, spread out interface, with windows of different sizes all over. No matter how georgeous the blackish, semi transparent HUD windows and the stylish buttons may be, I've always felt disturbed having to toss around the many windows when they keep in the way of things. Plus, it makes me involved in something that really doesn't have anything with the creative process to do; where do I want this window to be? Oops, I moved it a bit, now I have to drag it back to the very pixel I once had it arranged at. And so forth.
Point of thought:
Think of a painting. It has a frame. Within it, you create your picture. For obvious reasons, you don't want any obstructing objects to stay in the way between you and your picture when creating. Not in reality, nor in a virtual computer environment.
Whereas the digital domain facilitates some unimaginable, almost surreal opportunities to surpass and alter the restrictions of its real life equivalents in many respects - empowering the creator with unlimited undos to begin with, plus all kinds of operations you simply can't do in reality - it falls natural that you can just as easily make the creative experience a lot more restrictive than standing in front of a real, physical canvas.
One example of this, is the role of the canvas in Pixelmator, where I think it's been demoted to a subordinate role in the whole application, in which it often gets covered by interface objects.
Ponder this potential UI design rule: no interface element will be able to cover (any substantial part of) the canvas.
Think of it for a moment. Quite simple, but pretty intriguing UI design goal. Granted, a few exceptions may have to be overlooked. (As they say, there's always room for exceptions.) But I definitely mean to suggest, taking a serious consideration of the current UI situation in Pixelmator. At least, decide upon some kind of UI design motto, instead of right now, where I get the feeling no substantial thoughts were really dedicated to the foundation of the interface itself.
Why not make a digital equivalent of a painting's frame resemble the actual interface? I.e. tools, options, parameter settings, layers - anything - goes onto a surrounding frame on the sides of the canvas. (Of course, styled in a fashion appropriate to the demands of the "delicious generation".)
By and large, I think simplicity-geared programs will generate more food for thought and more creative stimulance, than feature-packed monster apps larded up with gorgeousness galore. Well, to be fair, the latter might not necessarily apply to Pixelmator in its entirety, but in essence, that's towards which tendencies lean.
Just to name one of the more successful apps incorporating something in the vein of what I'm trying to describe, is Skitch. Imagine how that app would feel, if it had just one more tiny window thrown in there, somewhere...
To wrap this excessively long comment up, here's my honest thought:
Pixelmator is still very likable and I think many people (with me) are still crossing their fingers for its success. But... There's a definite need to get its UI clutterness sorted.
All this ranting aside: Pixelmator is a very positive addition to the Mac-soft market, showing great potential. And, I wish to pay reverence to the efforts of the developers. I only think it would mean such a pity if they rely on users being pleased with the current interface, as is.
Overhaul time!
Henrik Cederblad, M.F.A.
Actually, Pixelmator phones home with update checking turned off. I e-mailed the developers and asked them about it but never received a response. They won't get any money from me and I'm sticking to Acorn.
After Adobe tried to force me to "activate" Photoshop Elements online and send watever data I gave it back. I tried Pixelmator and have to say after using it for a while it's better than I thought the first time.
Still many features to come, but other than PSE it can handle CMYK!
i'm not proud to have paid for this one. i appreciate the effort, but it's got a long way to go before i could be happy with it as a useful tool.
The interface sucks. This massive misuse of HUD-style windows (a.k.a. "transparent panels") totally kills usability.
It's what photoshop elements for the mac SHOULD be.
Not bad. Performance is bad on large images.

My husband and I have never been ones to honor each with expensive gifts on Valentine's Day. In fact, we rarely gift each other at all on this "special" holiday. Our thoughts are driven by the fact that we don't like society dictating when it's appropriate to tell someone that you love or appreciate them. This action should happen on a continual basis and should rarely include frivolous gifts.
My words may sound harsh but our relationship is built upon spending time with each other. Our limited income has always driven the need for simplicity. And after owning a restaurant and witnessing the hundreds of dollars people spend on meals, flowers and gifts we are even more grateful for the simple actions that truly display an appreciation for one another.
So this year on Valentine's Day I challenge you to forget about the fancy meals and expensive gifts. Spend time with someone who brings special meaning to your life. I have many options...my husband...my children...my mother...my best friend. Once you identify who you want to spend time with, focus on something that you have in common. It can be as basic as reading a book together, talking a walk through the park or watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn. Keep it simple.

Dunn travels to D.C. for climate change event
February 20, 2013
PARKERSBURG —Wood County Commissioner Wayne Dunn was among more than 35,000 concerned citizens who attended a weekend rally in Washington, D.C....
Weather modification yes. World wide weather "ownership" for nefarious reasons no.
What did the science book say hmm?
Cloud seeding? Rain/storm mitigation?
I shall repeat. According to some man made climate change or rather man influenced seasonal weather disruption does not exist. Its a shame etc. But our government is modifying the weather to achieve insidious ends?
But if man is modifying the weather or rather climate to (drumroll) bring about world wide social change. Said change is indeed man made is it not?

Bakerkat do you realize that back in WW2 bomber streams left massive contrails behind the formations on missions into Germany.
You do realize that mixing hot exhaust into extremely cold air will form contrails? Depending on the conditions aloft some will fade quickly some will stick around.

Belmont i know we do not agree on much. You need to investigate H.A.A.R.P., and chem-trails before saying we can't control the weather because believe it or not we live in a electrical frequency & bio-chemical controlled world. Both of which are being manipulated by government programs. global warming if being created or effected by man is not from carbon emmisions it is from chemicals and pulses of electromagnetic energy at the proper frequency to do so. Tesla had a machine that was dismantled by the government before it was they ran tests and the fish, and all animals near the tower left for weeks after the right frequencies was hit.

Climate Chage is real. We all need to become aware of what it means for us now and in the near future. Becoming educated on the subject is in everyones best interest. Rather than argue, try to seek knowledge. Mr. Dunn, thank you for your seeking wisdom and being part of a soulution.

How much has the excessive over abundance of world population growth contributed to global warming? The population of the world has increased 10 fold over the last 100 years. It is now growing at an accelerated rate depleting the air that we breathe as well as exhausting the available resources of the planet. As a natural born killer, possessing the innate Darwinian survival of the fittest character,will man in his selfish mode hasten the demise of his kind seeking protection from the deadly climate change he has helped to create but is indeed unable to control to his needs for habitation?

Proud of all posters on this one. Just sorry Dunn is your representation beliving in such tripe. Being that it has been proven global warming is a sham and more of a natural thing than a human causing factor.

Climate Change; For the past 2.5 million years the Northen Hemisphere has fluciated between warm and cold. Changes in climate followed a regular pattern for the past 700,000 years. Each cycle lasted +/-100,000 years and consisted a long cooling period which glaciers grew.
The last cooling cycle in North America was known as the Wisconsin Glaciation. The Laurentide Ice Sheet began to spread across the continent about 26,000 years ago. It expanded for 10,000 years before temperature started warming. It took another 6,500 years before ice retreated from northern Wisconsin.
Commissioner Dunn is a politician not a scientist who studies and understands the facts!

Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Paul George. They all have something in common in the NBA's annual GM Survey, released Tuesday morning. All of them finished tied for third in the category "Best Shooting Guard in the NBA."
Wait, is that a compliment or a sign of disrespect for the Warriors' point guard?
Curry, along with Andre Iguodala, made a few appearances in the annual survey. It's a minor barometer, but certainly this year's survey echo the Warriors' rising status in the league.
Here are the categories that featured the Warriors:
James Harden, Houston -- 56.7%
Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers -- 20.0%
Stephen Curry, Golden State; Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City; Paul George, Indiana -- 6.7%
Dwyane Wade, Miami -- 3.3%
That's right. No votes for David Lee. Brace for #TimKawakamiRage.
However, the Iguodala acquisition did get 21.4 percent of the votes for most surprising move of the offseason, tying for first with the Nets-Celtics trade.
