When listing all the numerous inventions that improve our lives, one of the most important is usually ignored: the capitalist economic system. With recent market turmoil causing some observers to claim capitalism itself has failed, it's apropos to take a closer look at the technology behind it.
Capitalism is an invention, no different than the transistor or the automobile. Like those others, it's comprised of many smaller inventions: the corporation, the bank, the stock market, commodities, securities, futures, etc. All together, they are a group of technologies invaluable for efficiently converting labor and resources into goods and services. Nothing we've devised has ever worked so well. Most of our prosperity and standard of living derives from it.
Take Russia. By far the world's largest country and the richest in natural resources, it has a highly educated and hard-working populace. Yet when Putin took over, their GDP was barely larger than the tiny island of Hong Kong's, and despite quintupling in the last few years, it's still a tenth of the US economy. Or consider China which, after allowing a small bit of capitalist endeavor to penetrate its system, transformed into the world's fourth-largest economy nearly overnight.
One of the reasons so many people (including some misguided economists) have trouble accepting capitalism is its apparent simplicity. It just seems impossible that a system so seeming chaotic can outperform something intelligently planned by trained economists. But that assumption is itself incorrect. Where a planned economy is like a single-core processor, capitalism is a neural-net processor with millions of nodes. A socialist economy is run by a few government-appointed individuals. But in a free market, every time you buy or sell a product, you're adding a calculation to the system. Whether you buy a car, rent a movie, or get a haircut, you're contributing to the price and quantity of goods and services. Cut a trip to the mall because gas went up another 5 cents, and you've input data to force down the price. Go anyway and you've voted to raise the price further.
The system appears simple, but in reality it's an enormously complex, self-regulating, highly adaptive mechanism. And like most mechanisms, it works best when no one pours sand in the gears.
There's a strong theoretical basis that any intervention in a market reduces its efficiency. But still governments keep trying to tinker under the hood. Their shade-tree efforts invariably do great damage. Our current fiscal mess is a marvelous case in point. It's been cast as something too difficult for average people to understand, but it's really very simple.
Consider. A couple applies for a loan. They make $60K a year, and need to borrow $700K. Their credit history is poor or nonexistent. The house has doubled in value in recent years-- only because all the other homes around it have as well. And the only reason they can afford the payments is because interest rates are so low and they're being offered a balloon mortgage that, if rates climb or their house depreciates will surely bankrupt them.
Does it really take a rocket scientist to know how risky this is? And that a bank with a large portion of its portfolio in such loans is also in peril?
So why did so many banks take such risks for so long? Here's the key to the whole problem: government intervention. In a free market, interest rates will rise in step with rising risks. They didn't -- thanks to the Fed. And government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac, and the Federal Home Loan banks kept the music playing. With most of the risk ultimately guaranteed by the federal government, no one really cared.
The bailout will ultimately cost a trillion dollars. It's also left us an industry that's effectively been nationalized, and a precedent that will encourage future industries to take more inappropriate risks. But worst of all, we have people on both sides of the political aisle calling for still more government involvement. Capitalism hasn't failed here-- government intervention has.
What goes up must come down. When a market rises too fast, it must eventually decline. The longer one prevents that, the harder that fall will be. Very simple. It's a shame our politicians can't understand that.
But the technology itself is still sound. And if we just leave the machine alone, very quickly it will start working again.
quote: Both parties are to blame
quote: Enough cards on this table have been turned over that the story is now clear. The economic history books will describe this episode in simple and understandable terms: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exploded, and many bystanders were injured in the blast, some fatally...It is easy to identify the historical turning point that marked the beginning of the end. Back in 2005...for the first time in history, a serious Fannie and Freddie reform bill was passed by the Senate Banking Committee. The bill gave a regulator power to crack down, and would have required the companies to eliminate their investments in risky assets.If that bill had become law, then the world today would be different. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, a blizzard of terrible mortgage paper fluttered out of the Fannie and Freddie clouds, burying many of our oldest and most venerable institutions. Without their checkbooks keeping the market liquid and buying up excess supply, the market would likely have not existed. But the bill didn't become law, for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee... But we now know that many of the senators who protected Fannie and Freddie, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from them over the years.Throughout his political career, Obama has gotten more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from employees and political action committees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received more than $165,000.

Amanda Bynes
- 1996
Nickelodeon Discovers Amanda
"When I was 7, I started taking a comedy class for kids at the Comedy Store in Hollywood," Amanda Bynes tells the Los Angeles Times. "Then when I was 9, I went to the Laugh Factory for another comedy class." While taking the class, Bynes – the daughter of Thousand Oaks, Calif. dentist Rick Bynes and his office manager wife Lynn – interviews with the producers of Nickelodeon's All That. She's hired and becomes a breakout star of the hit sketch comedy series.
- 1999
Amanda Spins Off
Bynes headlines Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show, where she develops such memorable characters as Judge Trudy, a parody of TV's Judge Judy, and Penelope Taynt, a borderline stalker of Amanda Bynes. Albie Hecht, Nickelodeon's film and TV president, says, "She's a little Carol Burnett." By its second season, the show is the most popular in its time slot for 6 to 11-year-olds. "She's one of the blessings I count each day," Hecht says in 2000. "She's funny--and funny is money." For three years, she wins the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite TV Actress.
- 2002
Big Fat Feature Debut
Bynes, 15, jumps to the big screen as Frankie Muniz's best friend in Big Fat Liar, which also stars Paul Giamatti and Sandra Oh. The comedy about kids getting revenge on a Hollywood executive who steals the boy's idea for a movie grosses $48 million domestically. "I honestly think there's never been a kid like her," Dan Schneider, who wrote the film and coproduced All That, tells the Los Angeles Times, "because I've never written her a part she couldn't pull off. While Amanda is pretty enough to be the ingenue, she's not afraid to look silly to get a laugh."
What I Like About You
In a move to primetime, Bynes headlines the WB sitcom, What I Like About You, written for her by Schneider. She plays Holly Tyler, a free-spirited teen who moves to New York City to live with her sister, played by Jennie Garth (left). "It's nice to be doing something aimed more at my own age," Bynes tells Virginia's Daily Press. It becomes the top-rated show in its time slot among women in the 18-to-34 age group.
- 2003
Amanda's Boyfriends
After calling it quits with The Amanda Show costar Taran Killam, Bynes, 17, begins dating What I Like About You costar Nick Zano, 24, (right). "I've been in love before," she tells CosmoGirl! in 2005. "I learned so much from both relationships. Both of them helped me to get to where I am today. The first one was there to sort of have a negative effect on me, and then my second one helped me get back to where I was."
What a Girl Wants
Bynes stars in What a Girl Wants, a loose remake of the 1958 Sandra Dee comedy The Reluctant Debutante. Bynes plays Daphne, an American teenager who goes to London to meet the father she's never known (played by Colin Firth). The film opens at No. 2, grossing more than $36 million at the box office. Many critics pan the film, saying Bynes deserves a better script for her talent. "I want longevity," Bynes tells Time. "I'm waiting to find something a little bit above this movie. I don't want to go down in maturity."
- 2005
CosmoGirl! Cover Girl
Bynes graces the cover of CosmoGirl! to promote her latest comedy, Lovewrecked, where she plays a girl pretending to be stranded on a deserted beach in order to spend alone time with her idol. She discusses fame, criticizes young Hollywood, and credits her family for keeping her grounded: "A lot of people have moms who are, like, wearing the same jeans that they are. My mom shops at Kohl's...I'm not competing with my mom."
- 2006
She's the Man
In She's the Man, Bynes (pictured with Channing Tatum) cross-dresses as a boy so she can play soccer. "I enjoy doing things that are scary or things that some girls might not like because it won't let them look gorgeous," she tells CosmoGirl!. "Every day they'd pin my hair back and I'd have no makeup. That's when you start relying more on your sense of humor."
- 2007
From Hair to Fashion
Bynes (pictured with Allison Janney) plays the dorky Penny Lou Pingleton in the 2007 remake of the movie-musical Hairspray. The film, which stars Queen Latifah, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer and Zac Efron, grosses more than $118 million. In August, she debuts her own clothing line for Steve & Barry's, called Dear by Amanda Bynes, and stars in Sydney White, the modern-day twist on Snow White.
- 2008
A New Man for Amanda
Bynes is seen getting cozy with The Hills regular and former Lauren Conrad flame Doug Reinhardt. The new pair is even spotted smooching courtside at an L.A. Lakers game. But by the New Year, their romance fizzles, with Reinhardt moving on with Paris Hilton.

Many B2B companies do not realize that they already have a treasure trove of data waiting to be analyzed, to provide guidance for a variety of marketing activities, including their social media efforts.
It is very likely that your B2B company has a customer service division and chances are you may even record calls for quality assurance (I hope). Taking it a step further, you may even have a built-in speech analytics module that a business analyst may routinely look at to understand keywords, trends in tone, inflection, job title of the person calling, sentiment, and much more. I often think of these systems as the offline version of an online social media monitoring platform.
The great thing about the data that's collected within these types of systems is that it's easier to detect trends and eventually apply statistical meaning because of the sheer volume of this more traditional channel for customer insights. Also, with potentially less discussion occurring online from customers of B2B products, it's that much more important to use the data you already have at your fingertips and work towards applying it to understanding your marketing mix.
Once you've secured access to this type of offline data, take the following steps:
1. Find Trends in Offline Data
Build a dataset that spans back at least 3-6 months and report on the most common keywords and trends in any positive or negative themes.
2. Use Keywords to Begin Social Listening
Take keywords and keyword phrases that the business analyst produces with the offline data source and use them in conjunction with your brand or specific product names using social listening tools.
3. Compare Historical Data
Use a social media monitoring platform that will allow you to retroactively pull social data that's reflective of the same time period that you're pulling your offline data. Date range-specific query is even more important in understanding trends in online and offline data when you launch a new product, service or promotion into market.
4. Optimize Marketing and Social Media Efforts
Use this information to inform your marketing organization in how to most effectively identify and communicate with their target audience via social media. The more authentic you can be in developing a communication bridge between your organization and your target customer, the more effective your message will be.
Have you analyzed the data from other functions within your B2B company to guide your social media efforts?

on November 4, 2012 - 9:47 PM
, updated November 5, 2012 at 7:53 AM
HOUSTON – Buddy Nix came out last week and gave a vote of confidence to Chan Gailey. The Bills' general manager said Gailey has at least one more year on his contract. He said Chan isn't going anywhere, regardless of his record, and called him one of the best offensive coaches in the NFL.
It was telling to hear Nix describe Gailey as if he were running the offense rather than the entire team. More and more, that's how Gailey appears to me, like a glorified play-caller and offensive coordinator occupying the head coach's chair.
Lately, I'm wondering about the offensive genius part. It has been a full year since Gailey's offense was humming on all cylinders. On Sunday, he got his clock cleaned by the Texans' Wade Phillips, a failed head coach who actually deserves his reputation as a brilliant coordinator.
Gailey wanted to run the ball against Houston. In C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson, he had two very good running backs. Spiller was averaging 7.3 yards a carry – the highest by an NFL running back with at least 70 rushing attempts since 1960.
So what happened? Phillips put seven men up on the line of scrimmage – in the old "box." He dared Gailey to run the ball behind an eager offensive line. He left his defensive backs in man-to-man coverage, luring Buffalo's mastermind to rely on the pass.
It worked. Gailey backed down. The Bills called 44 pass plays and 13 runs. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 38 passes, most of them traveling fewer than 10 yards in the air. The Bills didn't score a touchdown. On a day when the defense played well enough to win, Gailey's offense failed miserably in a 21-9 loss.
Gailey played to his weakness, putting the game in the hands of an erratic quarterback who can't make big throws down the field. He performed the rare trick of taking his own top weapon, Spiller, out of the game. Gailey conceded that he needs to get Spiller more touches.
"Yeah, and we would like to," Gailey said. "And we've got to try to do that on a more consistent basis. Some weeks, it's better than others. Some weeks, they take things away from you that you don't think they're going to do. But they did. They surprised us with a defense we hadn't seen very much."
This isn't quantum physics. It shouldn't come as a surprise when defenses stack the box and dare Fitzpatrick to beat them with his arm. It happened last season. It's how you defend the Bills. Jackson said the Texans didn't do anything unexpected on defense.
The problem is the notion that they "take things away from you." Only if you allow it. Sometimes, when the bully comes for your lunch money, you go for his jaw. Last week, the Bills' O-linemen talked about making a physical statement with the league's fourth-ranked running attack.
Offensive linemen love running the ball when the other team knows it's coming. It's how a team asserts its physical identity. Do you think Vince Lombardi ever stood there after a loss and lamented how the opposing coach took away the Packer Sweep?
Here's how it unfolded at Reliant Stadium: The Bills were losing, 7-6, at halftime. They had kicked a field goal just before the break. They had momentum. They had the football, and a chance to run some clock and let the Texans know they were in a street fight.
Houston stacked the box. Fitz threw three straight incompletions. Just 19 seconds into the third quarter, Shawn Powell was punting. Keshawn Martin returned it 26 yards. Five plays later, Arian Foster scored to give the Texans a 14-6 lead.
It was as if Gailey had said, "Here, take back the momentum. It's too much for us." In the space of two minutes, the Bills let down in all three phases of the game. You can lay it on the coach.
A strong head coach (or coordinator) gets his biggest weapons involved in the game. He doesn't help neutralize them. The running backs were barely a factor. Spiller carried six times for 39 yards. He had five catches for 63 yards, but two of those came in the final, meaningless minute.
Running backs talk about getting into a rhythm. Jackson and Spiller have been good soldiers, but it's hard when you're splitting carries. Spiller carried on the first play of the second quarter, then not again until 22 seconds before halftime.
Spiller touched the ball once during a 22-minute stretch of the second half. He wasn't on the field for a five-play stretch after the Bills got the ball with 4:31 to play, desperate for a big play.
"I'm not worried about that," said Spiller. "I just try to go out there and execute. Coach Gailey, if he's not the best, he's one of the best play-callers. He's great at finding mismatches we need to have our offense be successful."
I'm tired of hearing about mismatches. Who says it's a mismatch if Donald Jones or T.J. Graham is single-covered? If they're going to throw the ball 2 yards over the line of scrimmage, why not simply hand it to Spiller if they need a big play? They're not saving time with a 4-yard gain.
The odd thing is that Gailey puts his faith in Fitzpatrick, but doesn't trust him to throw down the field. Despite four trips inside the Houston 25-yard line, they never threw a pass into the end zone.
"That's something we've been good at over the last few years," Fitzpatrick said, "converting those drives into seven points, not three. That was our issue today, not being able to get the seven points."
The defense played well, by its current standards. OK, it didn't take the ball away, and it allowed Matt Schaub to average 10 yards a throw. Foster had 111 yards rushing. But considering how bad it's been, it was a step forward. It kept the Bills in the game.
To win, the defense would have needed to play at an elite level – the way people expected when the Bills signed Mario Williams. We figured there would be games like this, where the defense fought its heart out and tried to carry a pop-gun offense to victory.
But once again, when the game was on the line, the Bills weren't up to the task. Houston dominated the fourth quarter, holding the ball for 11:29. The Bills threw short passes and hoped a big play might occur by some miraculous act.
Someone asked Gailey if he felt his team was hamstrung in its ability to throw the ball down the field and get yardage in big chunks.
Gailey stammered, then said, "No, I don't think so. I wouldn't say that. I think we're better underneath. I think that's what our guys do better. So you try to let them do what they do best. But to keep them honest, you do have to go down the field."
Keep them honest? Gailey sounds like a coach who has bought too deeply into his own myth, who is too wrapped up in schemes and matchups to see the obvious.
Nix was right about one thing. His head coach isn't going anywhere. Right now, he's running in place.

5 Favors People Love to Offer (That No One Wants)
I've written about people you meet in hell and people who deserve to die for everyday crimes against humanity -- y'know, like eating pungent food on public transportation. But today's column is about people who attempt to make this world a better place with their tiny acts of human kindness ... and why I hate them. Yeah, I'm difficult to love. Actually, hate's too strong a word. The point is, even though we generally like it when people do nice things for us, there are some favors no one really wants. Here are five.
Apparently, when you search "favor" on Getty, it pulls up barefoot mountain dancing.
#5. Holding Doors Open from 30 Feet Away
It's typically a lovely gesture when someone holds a door open for you. It's a wonderful way of saying, "Hey there, tiger. Here ya go! Please benefit from the fruit of my labor as you journey from one location to another." Some sociologists say the tradition of holding a door open for a fellow pedestrian started in ancient Rome, when centurions would use it as a training exercise to build wrist dexterity and foster teamwork. OK, one sociologist says that. Well, actually just some guy I met at the bus stop who once took a sociology class. Fine. No one says that.
Not relevant.
But no one likes it when you hold a door open for someone who's like 30 feet away. All it does is create 15 seconds of awkward. A door comes into view somewhere on the horizon, you make out the faint outline of a traveler far ahead of you and then light emerges from the next room as he opens the door to enter. Surely the door will close behind him, but wait, what's this? The door -- it's staying open and he's not entering. He couldn't be waiting for you -- you're like still 20 strides away. Good Lord, he is. Wait. Do you know this guy? Is it your dad? No, it's just a complete stranger staring at you. And waiting. Don't rush, he says. Take your time. But you quicken your pace. How can you not? Don't rush, he says again, and you do an awkward half-waddle with an arm outstretched in the final three steps to signal the impending hand-off, shaving a microsecond of discomfort off this inexplicably awkward and needless exchange.
The last thing you see before the douche chills set in.
#4. Offering to Go With You, if You Can Just Wait for Like Five Minutes
It's typically a lovely gesture to offer companionship to someone riding solo. "Hey there, tiger," you say (because apparently you call everyone tiger), "I can come with you!" What better present than giving the gift of you! No need to travel alone, good friend. We shall walk side by side along this road of life!
Still not relevant.
But no one likes it when your offer of companionship comes with a delay. "Oh, you're going to Starbucks for a cup of coffee? I'll go with you ... just give me like five minutes." No. No, I will not give you five minutes. Why? Because despite carrying giant buckets of self-loathing, most of us can stand to be alone with ourselves for the 3.8 minutes it takes to go to the lobby and order a venti latte. And we want our venti latte now, dammit. Not in five minutes. Also, it's never five minutes. Not ever. You say five minutes, but it's a filthy lie, and as awesome as you are, and as horrific as the thought of a lonely elevator ride is, waiting 10 minutes for a coffee-run companion just isn't worth it.
Drinking less of this might make you a tad more patient.
#3. Lending You Books, Music or Movies You Don't Want
It's typically a lovely gesture to share things with friends. My buddy Jason Roeder once bought a pitcher of beer for our table. It was awesome. And I still treasure the hepatitis B Adam Tod Brown gave me just by virtue of breathing air within a five-foot radius of him. Also, sometimes friends share things that must be returned, like favorite books (when books existed) and CDs (when CDs existed) and movies (when movies existed). Or I guess today friends might rip those things for illegal sharing on their buddies' hard drives? I'm not sure, but whatever the method, it's usually thoughtful when someone wants you to experience the same joy they've felt from a piece of art. It's also kind of flattering, as there is an implicit belief that you share their sensibilities.
Adam Tod Brown wearing a sweatband, as is his custom.
But no one likes it when you force your crap on them. And don't give me that "Oh, but you asked!" garbage. If you're hanging out in your cubicle jamming out to tunes and someone asks, "Whatcha listening to?" that is not free rein to insist they take home your collection of Lithuanian prayer hymns or Air Supply. We're just being polite.
And what's even worse is that once you force us to borrow it, you follow it up with "Didja listen yet? Didja? Didja?" No. No, we didn't. We're going to stare at it for many weeks until it finally makes us so sick that we skim it for 30 seconds, pick the song we claim to like, say the rest is OK and leave it on your chair when you go on vacation.
"Oh, um, I liked, uh, track ... 3?

Korea Indicts Sellers of SAT Leaks
Seoul's prosecutors indicted a group of brokers and cram-school officials for leaking U.S. college-entrance exam materials, but the city's education board said it may let the centers in question continue to operate.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said Monday that 22 individuals were charged for selling SAT materials. A single question was allegedly valued at up to 300,000 won ($284).
One broker allegedly made 358 resales, while a manager at a test-prep center was found to have paid 100,000 won each to people pretending to take the SATs so they can memorize or photograph official test booklets, prosecutors said in a statement, without directly naming the people or businesses involved.
The SATs take place six to seven times a year for millions of students world-wide who want to apply to U.S. universities. They are divided into several subjects, some of which are mandatory and others optional. Different versions of the SATs often share substantial parts between them to even out the level of difficulty, so in some cases the same questions can appear on different test dates.
This year, South Korea has suffered multiple cancellations of SAT test dates due to suspected cheating. Some students were barred from taking the tests in June, while the entire biology section was withdrawn from the same date.
The Educational Testing Service, the U.S.-based vendor for the tests, cancelled the May 4 sitting across South Korea on reports that exam materials had been leaked, marking the first nationwide cancellation of an official SAT sitting in the world.
It is unclear how much the latest findings will help end the practice.
Some cram-school managers say parents often seek centers that have the official booklets, paying thousands of dollars for them. One manager in Seoul said a number of students secured a spot in the freshman class beginning next fall at top U.S. universities after cheating on the SATs through brokers.
"It sets a pernicious precedent to parents and students that it's OK to cheat your way to success," said the manager, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. She claimed neither she nor her academy was involved in the case.
The prosecutors' office said there are no plans to release the names of the culprits or the centers involved. A spokesman for Seoul's municipal education board, which oversees the cram schools, said it hasn't received the list of the indicted but isn't considering a closure of the test centers.
In June, the board closed or suspended a number of institutes after finding fault with some practices, but those actions were unrelated to the SAT booklet trade.
In 2007, about 900 scores in South Korea were revoked after it emerged that brokers had hired people to sit the test in order to record the questions and take booklets for future use.
The Educational Testing Service couldn't be reached for comment but it has maintained that the academic honesty enforcement standards for South Korea are among the most stringent in its global centers.

"When I woke up each morning, it was like my world was crashing down again," the celebrity chef, 67, tells PEOPLE exclusively in this week's cover story.
Her multimillion-dollar food empire and personal reputation shattered by Deen's admission in a 2013 deposition that she had used the N-word a "very long time" ago, the onetime "Queen of Butter" lost her Food Network contract along with most of her endorsement deals.
Nearly nine months later, she is now hoping to reboot her business with a new company funded by a $75 million deal with private investment firm Najafi Companies.
"I'm fighting to get my name back," says Deen, who adds that weathering the scandal involved facing her "greatest fear."
"I used to have dreams that I lost everything," she says. "And when it finally happens, you think, 'I'm still alive.' "

Which anime do you think to be the best among those two? 1) Bleach. 2)Naruto Shippuden. I think Bleach is the best anime of all.
No way Naruto rocks Ninjas rule
Bleach is my personal favriot.
NarutOoooooo . . .!!. . (^.^)
i like seeing Naruto grow up & the story is better

After a while I kind of lost interest in Naruto so I'd have to say Bleach is better
"Without order nothing can exist. Without chaos nothing can evolve."
Bleach is the best anime series. I'm a regular viewer of it.
i got lost with naruto. oh well.
< Where do the years go >
I'd say Bleach just because of the constant changing of the location.
< Where do the years go >
I really enjoy Naruto more... Dont get me wrong Bleach is great, but Naruto seems so give the viewer a stronger attachment to characters
I feel naruto is better, gives more explanations and has more of lives experience.
can't separate em they're too cool
<p> </p>
I would have to say Bleach. Naruto and Saskue annoy me to no end. I like the rest of the cast mind you but I really don't like those 2 characters.
Not interested in Bleach
its kinda wierd for me...
Naruto gives you lots of good characteristics as a true friend.... so i rather choose Naruto

These sleek stone trivets protect your table while making a design statement at the same time. Water jet-cut from different types of granite and marble, the hexagons and pentagons have leather bottoms inscribed with Fort Standard's insignia.
Designed by Sabina Gibson, this peach-colored Stegosaurus is much smaller, cuter and cuddlier than the real thing. Made for kids aged three and up, the jurassic creature has a wool felt body and polyester filling—so s/he is snuggly. Available on its own, or as a set of four (along with a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus and Triceratops) this little pal will encourage tots to use their imagination and maybe even learn about the prehistorical world.
VOGUE's "Voice of a Century" is a 448-page anthology for serious fashion experts and collectors. The leather-bound tome has been made to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the magazine, and includes iconic photographs, illustrations and interviews—from Kate Moss talking about riding an elephant to gloriously illustrated covers from yesteryear. Signed by eight contributors and stamped by Mario Testino, this book tracks not only style and fashion, but trends and history through a very specific and significant lens.
As those in the Northern Hemisphere start thinking about sweater weather, long-lost items like scarves and beanies start being remembered. Maison Kitsuné's simple ribbed beanie (available in burgundy or navy) is one way to enjoy winter a little more. Made from 100% lambswool, the beanie is unisex (of course) and very warm. The brand's trademark fox (Kitsuné comes from the Japanese word "kitsune" meaning "fox") is embroidered to the front in the French flag's blue, white and red. Price is in Euros.
Toilet Paper Magazine, Daft Punk and The Vinyl Factory have come together for a highly covetable collectible. Made in an edition of 1000, the French duo's 1995 tracks "Da Funk" and "Teachers" (both from the iconic Homework album) have been rerecorded onto a gold record, embellished with trademark Toilet Paper-style art by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Price is in Euros.
Inspired by the dovecotes of India's Mughal architecture, this geometric rug is one of five just launched from Block Shop. The bold structure of the pattern is offset somewhat by the subtle gray and cream coloration, making it a piece that will standout all while matching almost any style of interior. In fact, the team at Block Shop designed it for their very own cabin in Joshua Tree, a bird-watching haven. Dyed and woven by hand, this piece is made of 100% Indian cotton and available in three different sizes.
As with so many of The Arrivals' pieces, the unisex Han bomber jacket carries super-functionality. Padded with real European goose down and sporting a wind-protecting zipper placket, it will keep wearers warm in the colder months. The minimal look is jazzed up by our favorite colorway—one the brand calls "Bandaid"—a dusty rose hue that will lighten a gloomy winter day. Also available in black or fir (a rich olive green), the Han jacket is comfy and cozy.
Writer Kate Schatz and artist Miriam Klein Stahl (who created the New York Times bestseller "Rad American Women A-Z") have come together again for another feminist-leaning tome: "Rad Women Worldwide: Artists and Athletes, Pirates and Punks, and Other Revolutionaries Who Shaped History." Featuring cut-out portraits and short profiles on everybody from Poly Styrene (lead singer of X-Ray Spex) to Malala Yousafzi and Chimamanda Adichie, the book will inspire and impress readers of all ages, races and genders.
Designed by Swiss-Argentinian Alfredo Häberli and made from gorgeous green glass specially developed by Georg Jensen and the Glafo Glass Research Institute, the Alfredo Vase is the result of many visionaries coming together. Looking like something from the past and the future at the same time, its curves are exaggerated and delightful. The vessel (available in two very different shapes and sizes) is such a pretty piece, you might not even bother putting flowers in it.
Whether using it for a picnic, weekend away or to lug your groceries around town, Topo Designs and Woolrich's collaboration Cinch Tote is super-functional and its USA woolen fabrics means it's great for transitional seasons. Made in Colorado, the bag is fully lined and features four exterior pockets. Best of all, the Western Print fabric will vary with each bag—so chances are yours will be one of a kind.
If you find yourself discussing (or arguing) how to pronounce words like "pho," "niche" or "acai," new book "You're Saying It Wrong: A Pronunciation Guide to the 150 Most Commonly Mispronounced Words and Their Tangled Histories of Misuse" could be a useful book to carry on your person. Not only illuminating the correct pronunciations, the book also explains phrases' and words' origins and common misuses. May you never mispronounce schadenfreude again.
One of our favorite online destinations for sophisticated tokers, Tetra has just released their first self-branded pipe. Created by NYC-based designer Jamie Wolfond, the blue glass pipe is made from incredibly high-quality borosilicate glass that doesn't conduct heat—meaning the smoke produced is cooler and smoother. Also available in clear, the beautifully designed piece is clever and classy.
We're already enamored by Hautlence's non-watch watch—a piece that isn't what it first appears. Instead of telling the time, the puzzle-face encourages the wearer to slow down, take some time out and embrace their inner-child. The limited edition version, made in collaboration with Colette, is black and blue (like the Parisian store) but has been produced in a super-exclusive run of just five. Price is in Euros.
The tender portraits taken by photographer, casting director and creative director Kevin Amato—for his new book "The Importants"—honor the characters (mostly from the Bronx) he's dedicated to capturing on film. Amato is a pioneer of the now-common concept of street-casting, and the images in the gold hardcover range from the recognizable Luka Sabbat to emerging and unknown names. Essentially though, it's a celebration of diversity and fluidity—from sexuality to gender, appearance and race.
Designed by Italian architect Paola Navone and produced by acclaimed porcelain company Reichenbach, this polka-dot creamer—part of a great black dots set—balances whimsy with function. This can be said of both the uncommon silhouette and the playful pattern. Global interests struck the Navone, which she channeled into her progressive, worldly work. The piece is exclusively stocked at the Philip Johnson Glass House design store.
Despite all evidence that aluminum and paraben aren't things that should be applied to the body every single day, most people do default to deodorant sticks featuring these ingredients—because they generally offer the most antiperspirant protection. After extending testing, we can testify that Journeymen's Fragrance No 1 deodorant stick does offer the same antiperspirant protection most require out of a daily deodorant—and the cypress and cedar smoke scent lasts well into the work day. There's an almost warming sensation when applying it. And the aloe vera, witch hazel, organic chamomile and essential oils make the experience altogether delightful.
Made to be water-resistant, whether in the leather or woven fabric versions, Bellroy's All-Conditions Phone Pocket is a clever wallet that can house your cards, cash, phone, passport and more. With two interiors pockets, YKK water-resistant zip and microfiber lining, it's a go-anywhere travel wallet that will keep all your valuables protected.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - October 15 is rapidly approaching. That's when the Tahoe Basin grading season ends for the year. On that date all the flaggers, the "30 Minute Delay Possible" signs, the detours, the "Traffic Fines Doubled in Work Zone" notifications and the Diesel-belching yellow digging machines will all be packed up for the winter. That's when our Tahoe Basin visual annoyances will be reduced to just one ... boot leg campaign signs proliferating along roadways.But an Incline nonprofit corporation is trying to do something about even that electoral inevitability. Get Out the Vote, Inc. recently contacted all candidates for state and local office with the following challenge:"Dear Candidate:You have filed for public office to represent, in whole or part, the Incline Township which includes Incline Village and Crystal Bay, Nevada. The Washoe County Roads Department has publicly stated that they intend to enforce the county sign ordinance (Washoe County Code Section 110.504.35) which provides:'The following signs and displays are prohibited: . . . (h) signs on public property or rights-of-way; signs attached to utility poles, street standards, trees or fences.'While we believe that campaign signs on private property with permission of the owner are totally appropriate and guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, campaign signs placed in violation of the County Code constitute blight and an ecological degradation to the scenic streets and highways in the Lake Tahoe Basin.We would like to list your name in the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza as both a law abider and opponent of blight in the Incline Township. If you agree to this proposal please click the 'reply' icon and respond to this email with the simple words 'I agree' or words to that effect.Please note that 'public property' includes a 7 1/2 foot unpaved easement for public utility lines and plowed snow on either side of the pavement of rural county roads, and that NDOT's right-of-way runs 75' each way from the centerline of state highways 28 and 431. Look to see where private improvements abut highways as an approximation of the end of NDOT's right-of-way.Thank you for taking the time to read this email.GET OUT THE VOTE, INC."With budget cutbacks the County Roads Department is going to be hard-pressed to be everywhere in the county at once but the idea that candidates can be self-policing, at least in the Incline Township, is refreshing.As this column goes to press the following have responded and agreed to ensure their campaign signs comply with the law and do not proliferate on public properties: candidates for school board: Lisa Ruggiero, Dale Richardson; candidate for district court judge: Cal Dunlap; candidates for IVGID: Jim Smith, George Del Carlo and Jim Hammerel; candidate for North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District: Paul Zahler.As more candidates respond I will publicly acknowledge whether they concur with the Get Out The Vote, Inc. challenge in subsequent columns up to and through the November 6 election day. If readers see campaign signs they suspect are in violation of County Code they can contact Rick Thompson of County Roads at 775-328-2180 and/or email me at the below email address and I will forward the information to Get Out The Vote, Inc.After all wannabe lawmakers should respect and obey our laws.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County & Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at email@example.com.

"The indispensable critic on the indispensable writer." -Geoffrey O'Brien, New York Review of Books
A landmark achievement as expansive, erudite, and passionate as its renowned author, Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, writing about, and teaching Shakespeare. Preeminent literary critic-and ultimate authority on the western literary tradition-Harold Bloom leads us through a comprehensive reading of every one of the dramatist's plays, brilliantly illuminating each work with unrivaled warmth, wit and insight. At the same time, Bloom presents one of the boldest theses of Shakespearean scholarships: that Shakespeare not only invented the English language, but also created human nature as we know it today.

I borrowed this bit from my friend and my barrel horse ran completely differently than in a sidepull I had to buy one afterwards. Lots of flex and great rate. I can't say enough about this hack. I wrap the noseband with vet wrap too since the rope is a bit much.
I have used hacks on my barrel & gaming horses for years, Jim Warners are the best made. Nothing goes on my horses other than a Jim Warner hack. The short shanks pivot & work more like a normal bit rather than having floppy sides or flat metal pieces at the sides to skin up their face. Jim Warners give TURN & WHOA, no other hack does that.
My Girlfriend owned 2 of these when I decided to try one. My horses did so well with this hack that I decided to purchase 2 myself. Now I own two more horses and they both do well this hack. I am ready to buy 2 more.....
This is the best barrel hackamore I have ever used. Such great control without causing the horse harm. My mare has such better flex and turn with this hackamore. Definatley recommend

Asperger's Syndrome is a neurologically-based developmental disorder. The exact cause is unknown, but experts believe it is a complex condition involving multiple genetic and environmental components--no one gene or single environmental factor causes AS. Asperger's Syndrome is similar in many ways to autism. These two disorders are grouped together in a category called Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The disorders are also referred to as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD).

There are approximately 7 million people in the United States who identify as mixed-race, with half of these being under the age of 18, and it is estimated that the mixed-race population in the U.S. will reach 21% by 2050. Yet, multiracial individuals and families remain marginalized and overlooked by mainstream U.S. society. As a result, the unique issues and struggles they face are often poorly understood by professionals, co-workers, friends and extended family, making it difficult to successfully manage challenges when they arise.
Bipolar disorder is a serious mental health problem that affects between 1% and 5% of children and adolescents. Bipolar disorder is classified as a mood disorder by the mental health profession, and can include two types of mood disturbances: depression and mania (joyful, elevated or severely irritable moods). Bipolar disorders can affect all aspects of a child or adolescent's life, causing them difficulties at home, in school, and in getting along with friends and classmates.
A stepfamily forms when one or both adults in a new couple bring children from a previous relationship. Although stepfamilies look like first-time families on the outside, they are very different on the inside. The first step toward making a successful stepfamily is understanding the differences between stepfamilies and first-time families. The previous marriage may have ended in divorce or in death. The original parent may be a never-married single parent or an adoptive parent. The new couple may be gay or straight.
The effect of anger in families is usually apparent in the way that members relate with one another. Our earliest experiences communicating and relating to others occurs within the family. Patterns of anger in relationships are then taken and recreated in later relationships outside the family. Thankfully, a committed, well-designed treatment plan can repair the damage of having been raised in an angry family system.

This popular Camden boozer pays homage to Victorian military man David Fawcett, who apparently died in one of the rooms upstairs. He was partial to a snifter or two of gin, so there's plenty of scope to get stuck into his favourite tipple - there are more than 60 varieties of mother's ruin on offer.
Outside of that impressive collection of gin there's a decent range of craft beers on tap and by the bottle, complemented by a short wine list and a good selection of cocktails ranging from classic concoctions to those of a more adventurous bent - you can even create your own, should you wish. Unsurprisingly, gin plays a lead role on this list, too.
The food menu ranges from The Colonel Fawcett Burger (with smoked bacon, chilli jam, apple wood-smoked cheddar and fries) to onglet steaks, a wild Hereford venison casserole and sea bream with clams and a white bean and herb ragu. The Sunday roast is award-winning.

Friendly local pub; good menu; fun upstairs area which can be rented for parties; small but decent garden area
Wide gin choice and gin based cocktails in this wonderful pub.
Fabulous inventive, vegetarian food options and amazing Sunday roasts also.
Loved it- great ambience and so many sprits to choose from! One of my favourite places in London, it's always busy, which says a lot too.
Very warm environment, friendly staff, good food and nice selection of ales. We have been running a group session here once a fortnight for almost two years and never been let down. Sorry to see some negative reviews here as this has not been my experience at all.
Always full of cool peoples. One of the, if not the best pubs in London. The food is amazing, the kitchen staff really knows their stuff. The waiting staff is the nicest, most attentive, well mannered and super friendly. I have never ever experienced something remotely similar to some of the experiences some bitter, weird person has described. This place is actually the reason why we decided to come live in this area, and that was a good decision given this is now our local. Gin selections are godly, and they have several tonics as well. Then there are the pub quiz, the events such as comedy nights, tasting evenings, themed parties. 100% recommended.
Never setting foot in the pub ever again after one of the bar staff laughed in the face of a friend of mine with learning difficulties for simply asking her if the bar sold Smirnoff Ice. The pub stinks of plastic, cloned wannabe Camden Kaners who have all descended from the Shires in search of a trace of cool. The fact is the bar staff are all emotionally crippled and should remember born n bred Camden-ites like myself (for the last 40 years) have an inherent sense of community and would never dream of considering someone ordering a Smirnoff Ice as some sort of social leper. Especially someone with learning difficulties. We're also not that DESPERATE to have to elevate ourselves to a some deluded sense of cool. We're already there.
Though not a Camden local I always head to the Fawcett when I'm in the area and have never had anything but a brilliant meal with in season produce and the atmosphere is always great. Couldn't recommend it highly enough, definately worth a try.
I'd just like to say I love this pub and think its one of the best in London. I can't remember if I left a review before but I am leaving one now because I so strongly disagree with the timeout one - I know that at least one of my friends has left a review because he so strongly disagreed with it too. I am writing now because of the NB comment of the timeout review where you suggest the positive user reviews are fake. I think a good deal of these might be in response to your negative review which is so out of sync with how this pub is. I have almost never reviewed something on timeout but really felt compelled to review this because I so disagree with the timeout view. Please contact me if you think this review is fake - I would be happy to provide you with my work email ect as proof that I am not affiliated with this pub.
This is one of my locals, I love it. Not only do the bar staff get to know you and always say hello, but the oweners have got to know me and my friends over the past couple of years. They really are a fantasic bunch and I'm so glad they took over this place, it's always a fun place to be on the weekend, no tourists but also no one taking themself too seriously. Really good food - this coming form someone who grew up around food and foodie parents. If you're in NW1 or NW5 and fancy a nice meal and a gin please check out the Fawcett, you will not be dissapointed. The locals are fairly friendly too, so come say hi.
Had a roast here, yesterday evening- it was absolutely delicious! Great quality meat, top notch gravy and perfectly cooked veg. Cannot believe time out's review- you need to visit again! Look on all other review sites to see the proper rating- this review is not 'shilling' but happy customers trying to put the record straight following time out's terribly inaccurate review. Time out is not to be trusted! Colonel fawcett roasts at 14 quid are!!
Love this place. Food is so nice. Especially love the Sunday roasts! Love the fact it's hidden out the way so not full of tourists. Music always stuff I want to hear. Recommend it yo anyone who enjoys the Camden vibe but with true camdeners.
We ( colleagues and I) go all the time, 15 of us pile in and get fed really quickly. The quality is superb, really great seasonal gastropub food in a very cool and 'camden meets shortditch' sort of vibe. It's a gin and ale bar, which serves my boyfriend and I really well! Everyone needs to go try it out, to avoid disappointment, I'd book, just in case. Also, on a Saturday night, it's really good fun too, they put DJs on and there's two floors and a garden to spill into. Sorry.. I'll stop going on! just go!!!
two star rating is a travesty. easily the best pub/bar/restaurant in Camden if not London. Tv's showing sports, extensive gin list, excellent home-cooked food, two outside areas and dj's in the evening. TimeOut have massively dropped the ball on this one
Do not understand 2 star review?!!! Atleast double that!... I had the lamb burger, but also had a scotch egg before hand - really great! Timeout - your review makes no sense!!!
Went to this pub today as it is close to where I live, walked past it a few times and it seemed friendly and cool. I do not understand what is driving the review from Time out, who I respect. It must have been a bad day in the pub! The food was really good, best pork belly I had in a while. Friendly service and lots of space. Good mix of people hanging, families, couple having a bite an reading sunday papers (like us)... I look forward to going back. It seems to be a place especially set for cold winter afternoons, which the 2 fire places and soft music playing in the background. Would recommend.
Food generally very good (I've eaten here twice), nice atmosphere. Beers a little dull if you're into ale; generally never all four hand pumps in use and the selected beers aren't particularly to my taste either. I 'like' the Fawcett, but wish I loved it.
I ate in this triendly pub and experienced really wonderful tastes, original and interesting. 5 of us chose different menu items and we all rated them highly, tasting each others choices too ,it was exceptional and fantastic value. The staff were very friendly making the whole experience rich
I have eaten at the CF many times and just can't get enough of the food there! The value and quality are just fantastic. The menu changes regularly so I have always found a new combination that is fresh and exiting. My last meal was the Griddled Fennel which was just amazing. Good sized main and the deserts are to die for. A blood orange sorbet was probably my favorite to date and I hope to see it reintroduced at some point. I am shocked at the last review with one star and cannot understand where they are coming from. I am also very annoyed with Time Out review as they have obviously not given any thought or even been to the pub I suspect. They should be embarrassed at such a badly compiled review. Highly recommended so dont let Time Out or one rogue review fool you.
I have to say Time out are speaking absolute TOSH... By far some of the best food I have ever had in its price range... The Sunday Roasts are literally to die for. Great drink selection, cool place, great decor etc.... I'm sorry, but after this god aweful review by TimeOut I don't think I'll be able to trust their reviews on anything else..
Went on a recommendation from a friend, absolutely loved the food. It is the best steak i have had for a long time. Place looks really nice inside, almost like a living room with a bar in! Def going back.
Took my parents here for dinner a few nights ago and thought it was so lovely. Food was delicious, I had the steak which was divine and my mum had the hake which she loved. Really nice atmosphere, out the way in Camden which means that you get a good local crowd. We spoke to the owners who are three young guys just starting out and you can tell that they have tried to create somewhere friendly and relaxed with those nice personal touches. Its my birthday soon so I am going to hire an area. All round great place!
The owners really turned this pub around, it has a great atmosphere, loads of gins and a changing menu. Saturday brunch, sunday roast, unique ingredients make it special. Will check out their comedy nights soon. Lucky to be a local to the Colonel. TimeOut, your review is bad and rating inaccurate. Go there again and tell it like it is!
Have to say i agree with Timeout, visited on a Sunday afternoon,we wer the only 2 people in the upstairs function room at the time, 6 people downstairs. At that time no one was eating, so no pressure on the chefs. They were outside having a cigarette. Owner couldn't crack a smile, of the other 2 staff, young guy helpful and friendly, girl struggled to take an order of 2 meals, and also no smile. food very mediocre, i turned down 2 of the veg options, not offered any alternatives, served cold root mash, 3 mini bullet like lukewarm roasties, and a lukewarm tasteless pie.My partners fish was tiny, old hard chips, We ate it as we were starving, cold , very wet. As we left the downstairs bar was buzzing, lot's of diners, and the Sunday Roasts did look nice. Our first visit, wouldn't eat there again after that experience. Lovely decor, out of the way, if you want a quieter spot of Camden. Maybe it was because we were new faces, as others seem to have had a different experience. Had a Greek meal and a Cantonese meal in Camden, very nice. As there are a lot of inferior eateries in London, it's nice to find something good.
I'm surprised with this review. I ate at the Colonel, immediately departed for Melbourne and spent the next 5 weeks anticipating my return meal. Incredible food that would still be good value with a 50% price increase. Go to this pub. It's great.
I am a bit confused by this review from Timeout! I work nearby and eat here probably at least once a week and the food is definitely the best pub food I've ever eaten and I eat at a lot of pubs (and restaurants) in the area but this beats them hands down on value and quality. I had a smoked chicken salad the other day and it was to die for, literally perfect. It's always a nice crowd in here and good music plus as a real ale man, they have a pretty good selection. Definitely ignore the 2 stars from Timeout...strange.
The Colonel Fawcett is such a nice pub, lovely, comfortable interior, with great booze and amazing food! Has a really nice atmosphere, and the staff are so friendly. They have an AMAZING selection of gin, over 20! And the food is incredible! The burger and sausage and mash are my favourites! And they have the best chicken dish I've ever had out on the menu at the minute - so so good! The Colonel Fawcett is my new favourite pub! 5/5!
I love this pub, good food, and a nice decent crowd without any chavs or white trash etc.... - I cannot comment on the drink, as I am a t-total, however the food is, normally, very good, although the last couple of meals have been really overly salty, and the fish I had tonight was undercooked. - Shame, as I hope this pub does not go down the same route as The Lord Stanley! CF crew, please take note and sort out the chef, as there does appear to be a rapid turnover of your kitchen staff!
2 stars? Are you on crack? The Colonel Fawcett is fun, unpretentious and has great food, unlike the other boozers in the area, most of which are packed with boorish TOWIE wannabes listening to the top 10 while eating frozen burgers from the cash & carry and drinking warm Stella at £5 a pint. It's an oasis in the desert of bell-ends that is Camden.
Have visited the Colonel Fawcett several times since it's opening last year, and have always been very impressed. The food is amazing! Not only is it extremely tasty, but perhaps the best value for money in the area (last week I had a great steak for under a tenner!). I've also had the Pork Belly a couple of times which was cooked to perfection and came with a beautiful Cider sauce. For me, the food is on a par with Made in Camden, which i visited for the first time a few weeks ago and loved. I felt compelled to comment after reading Time Out's distinctly average review above, which I strongly disagree with!
It's high time that the TimeOut people took another look at this excellent pub. Decor is great, staff are friendly and hardworking, the food is great and there is a good selection of drinks available. I recommend it very highly.
I'm actually quite gobsmacked that TimeOut has written such a review about a pub they clearly knew nothing about/had even really visited the pub by the sounds of things. What it SHOULD have said is the food is amazing - made with love and thought and homage paid to the drinks (extensive gin collection, my favourite!) definitely not going a miss! lovely atmosphere, brilliant staff, theyve got everything right... One cant help thinking this was a tactical report from TimeOut? A nice place to socialise and unwind, definitely worth a visit!
Glad I didn't see this review before I went or I might never have visited - I found the food far from unremarkable, the menu was imaginative without being weird, the food itself delicious, the service exceptonal and while the number of ales available was limited, they were well kept and served - which to me counts for more than having a dozen poorly kept ones. And the selection of gins? Suffice to say, I'll be back - I suggest the Time Out team give it another go too, even the best places can have an off night
I think it's time timeout went back to double check. Obviously the reviewer's opinion represents the minority (and he certainly hasn't tried the home made scotch eggs). The only quibble is the slightly small portions of food, but when it's that good and only £7/£8 for a main, you can't really complain...
Having read the Time Out review through, I hastened a double take to ensure that it was indeed allied to the correct establishment! It appears as if the authors good taste may have perished along with the Colonel in the upstairs room of this delightful spot. The locally sourced, seasonal fayre is a wonder, and I for one, in the absence of local ale, found ample solace in the extensive gin list!! All in all tis one mighty fine tavern indeed!!
I also had a five star review removed, which questioned why the reviewer mentioned the lack of local ales, but failed to mention the fact that much of the food produce is sourced-locally to ensure freshness. To recap, the food, atmosphere and staff are all excellent. I am not an ale drinker, so feel unable to comment on the slectionof drinks.
I visited this pub after reading this review. I live locally and was unaware it had changed hands or name. I found this pub hidden round the corner from Camden Road Station and is one of the nicest pubs I have been to. It has now become my local. It has been vastly improved since a refurb and is definately worth a visit. The atmosphere in the evening is fantastic, the dj always manages to get people up and dancing. One drunken night me and my friends found ourselves deep in a game of monopoly when the owners came over to join in. They are the friendliest people you will meet. The food is delicious and hugely recommended. We go every Sunday now to cure our hangovers from the night before with a roast! I rate this pub HIGHLY. *****
Where is my other review I left?... Timeout, after this shoddy review of this amazing friendly welcoming pub, and the knocking of the food on offer at this pub (It's value for the quality and deliciousness the fantastic chefs cook up) I can't help but feel you haven't really been here?! And also, Camden Ale is over subscribed so can't currently sell everywhere. I'm going to take further TimeOut reviews with a pinch of salt seeing that you can massively get the Colonel so, so wrong. Sort it out.
Im a local and am so happy there is a nice, genuine, laid back local pub in the area now. Me and my housemates spend whole weekends in there, young, lively crowd in the evenings and then chilled out vibes on Sundays to ease hangovers - with board games, bloody marys, big sofas. Love the food as well (its cheap! compared to the rest of Camden). Try the risottos, they are my fave.
I am very surprised by this review - it goes against every experience I have had of this pub! The food is delicious and imaginative - certainly worth a visit for. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and the staff are all incredibly attentive to all customers. I'm afraid Time Out have got it very wrong this time and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chilled out lunch or great night out!!
Absolutely love this pub! Went for dinner last night. Had the risotto and the pork belly - it was absolutely delicious. One of the owners Angus was really friendly and told us the amazing history of the pub. Worth a visit just to see the 150 year old spiral staircase!
I have visited this pub a few times since it re-opened and each time has been an enjoyable expereince. Loved the food and the party atmsophere on friday and saturday nights! Will visit again.

No laughs about it – Seth Meyers is a married man.
The Saturday Night Live star, 39, wed longtime gal pal, human rights lawyer Alexi Ashe, on Sunday in Martha's Vineyard in an intimate-sized ceremony, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"They are so in love and really excited for their big day," a source says. "They [were] really happy to celebrate their big day with all their close friends and family."
Guests included Andy Samberg, Ali Larter, Olivia Munn, Jason Sudeikis, Allison Williams, Kristen Wiig, Lorne Michaels, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Taran Killam, Rashida Jones, Tony Shaloub, Nick Kroll and Bill Hader.
Meyers, whose engagement was announced just last month, described his cute proposal a few weeks ago.
"I tied [the ring] in a bow around our dog's collar," he said, adding that Ashe came home later than expected, which caused him to watch his pet with concern. "I just had to sit there looking at the dog. I was like, 'The dog's going to eat the ring!' "
Meyers – who confessed to getting "a little" teary-eyed when the woman of his dreams accepted his proposal – gushed about her "excellent taste" when it has come to wedding planning.

Working in lodging is more than a job—It's a people-oriented career with incredible opportunity. Lodging is a 24/7 business where managers take pride in providing a home away from home for travelers. Luxury hotels, bed and breakfasts, and large convention hotels are just some of the establishments where your career can take off.
Hotels offer a wide array of services and amenities, allowing you to take on new challenges within the same hotel. Many hotels, for example, have restaurants, meeting space and recreational facilities. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most full-service hotel chains hire people who have a bachelor's degree in hospitality for management positions. Stay competitive. Go to CSU!
Management positions in lodging:
Salaries of lodging managers vary greatly according to their responsibilities, location and the segment of the hotel industry in which they work. Managers may earn bonuses of up to 25 percent of their basic salary in some hotels and also may be furnished with meals, parking, laundry and other services.

It's amazing how the days fly by.
A few days turns into a new month and even a new season.
If you're rushing between work, exercise, hair appointments, kids' (or grandkids') games, volunteer activities, yardwork and more....you're probably looking for something to treat yourself to during your down time.
My requirements for something to refresh my spirits are: It needs to be low calorie, healthy, yummy and worth the effort.
One of my customers shared this recipe with me, which she treats herself to in the evening.
I've added a few ideas to add pizzazz to this comfy beverage. The ingredients are not exotic but rather things you may already have in your kitchen.
Chocolate heaven
Combine in a saucepan:
9 heaping Tbsp. Hershey's unsweetened cocoa
6 Tbsp. sugar (yes, sugar is the original sweetener with 15 calories per tsp. and grown in Weld County)
4 Cups water
Heat to a simmer, then add:
1 pkg. Organo Gold Cafe Mocha (available at my boutique)
4 pkgs. Swiss Miss Dark hot chocolate
4 cups milk
Bring almost to a boil. Cool and then keep in the refrigerator. Reheat a cup at a time if desired or served over crushed ice.
Optional flavorings: 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 4 peppermint candies, 1 or 2 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 tsp. almond flavoring, or my personal favorite....a shot of Bailey's Irish Creme!
Thank you to Shirley Klingensmith of Greeley for sharing her personal recipe. Shirley taught in the Greeley Schools for 30-plus years and enjoys talking about all the fun times she had with her students.
Remember to take time for yourself. Enjoy the simple things in life like this big girl beverage. If you don't take care of yourself, you may not have the energy to brighten the lives of everyone around you!

Cameras were
mute witnesses
Cameras were mute witnesses at 911. The footage I use was recorded live from television at the time of the events of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, and the September 11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon, by people all over the world.
A video camera catches the action
of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 30th of a second
increments. Slow motion can show what the naked eye misses. It is the
same principle as Instant Replay. The camera has no agenda, conspiracy
theory, no emotional involvement, no urge to hide and censor or make things
up. The cameras provide evidence of the events of September 11, 2001.

Thanks to Natalie from JessieCaveFan for letting us know that the latest issue of Teen Magazine includes a new interview with the trio of Dan Radcliffe, Rupert, and Emma Watson.
Submitted by admin on Sat, 09/06/2008 - 14:01
Thanks to Natalie from JessieCaveFan for letting us know that the latest issue of Teen Magazine includes a new interview with the trio of Dan Radcliffe, Rupert, and Emma Watson.
Which do you want first, the good news' or the good news?!
Firstly, we have had word from Rupert's agency that they are "in the final stages of confirming Rupert in the movie", describing the film (as we told you in the post below!) as "a black comedy featuring Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt based on a French film of the same name."
Rupert's agency page was updated today, not only to reflect his role in Cherrybomb, but also his casting in yet another new film entitled Wild Target!
Thank you, me, for the scans from the new UK Half-Blood Prince calendar.
I was a really good girl - I had taken my children out to buy back to school stuff, and I bought the calendar and didn't go straight home to scan it!
Anyway, my children have new shoes and we have two wonderful months that are all Ron.
Snitch Seeker has obtained a new photo of Dan Radcliffe, Rupert, and Bonnie Wright in character on the set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It is another variation of this behind-the-scenes shot taken on the Burrow set.
We've received two lovely photos of Rupert posing with some extras on the Belfast set of Cherrybomb! Laura, who was one of the lucky extras, tells us she spent two fun days on set and is all praises for Rupert saying he is a "lovely guy, so down-to-earth and nice."
Many of you will remember that this year we had lots of little birthday projects going on, all combining into one bigger 20th birthday project. Many thanks go to this years collaborators, The DA!

The Birdsuite is a fully open-source set of tools to detect and report SNP genotypes, common Copy-Number Polymorphisms (CNPs), and novel, rare, or de novo CNVs in samples processed with the Affymetrix platform.
EIGENSTRAT detects and corrects for population stratification in genome-wide association studies using principal components analysis.
GeneHunter is a tool for rapid extraction of complete multipoint linkage analysis using both parametric and nonparametric approaches.
Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK)
The Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) is a structured programming framework designed to enable the rapid development of efficient and robust analysis tools for next-generation DNA sequencers. The GATK solves the data management challenge by separating data access patterns from analysis algorithms, using the functional programming philosophy of Map/Reduce. Since the GATK's traversal engine encapsulates the complexity of efficiently accessing the next-generation sequencing data, researchers and developers are free to focus on their specific analysis algorithms. This not only vastly improves the productivity of developers, who can quickly write new analyses, but also results in tools that are efficient and robust, and can benefit from improvements to a common data management engine.
GRAIL is an algorithm to assess biological relationships between disease-associated genetic variants.
Haploview is designed to facilitate the process of haplotype analysis by providing a common interface to several tasks relating to such analyses.
InVEx (Introns Vs Exons) is a permutation-based method (written in Python) for ascertaining genes with a somatic mutation distribution showing evidence of positive selection for non-silent mutations. The method was developed for use in cancer genomics studies, with particular relevance to high mutation rate cancers. Mutations are permuted on a per-patient, per-trinucleotide-context basis across the exons, introns and UTRs of a gene, generating a null model of the distribution of mutations to which the observed distribution can be compared to determine statistical significance. Significant genes are of interest, as their somatic mutation is likely to be important in the formation of the cancer being studied. The method can operate on whole exome as well as whole genome sequencing data.
LocusView is a program for generating images of chromosomal regions annotated with genomic features, experimental data, and analysis results.
MAGENTA is a program that tests whether predefined biological processes or gene sets are enriched for genes associated with a complex disease or trait.

Chemical Biology: Young Group
The Young lab focuses on the generation of novel small molecules to study normal and disease-related biological phenomena. To achieve this goal, we develop new reactions and apply them toward the production of small-molecule libraries. Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) is the principle guide for our synthetic activities toward creating a small-molecule screening collection to be tested in a variety of biochemical, phenotypic, cell-based, and whole-organism, high-throughput screens (HTS) at the Broad Institute. We are also the first to introduce the principles of DOS within the area of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD). Using our DOS-generated fragments and a suite of biophysical assays, we are elucidating binders to challenging disease targets (K-Ras, NF-κB, PTP1B, PCSK9).
Composed of staff scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students, our group is largely supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Centers of Excellence in Chemical Methodology and Library Development.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — Over a weekend, 112 Northstar employees and their family members participated in the third annual Vail Resorts Echo Day, partnering with the Truckee River Watershed Council to donate their time to work on a section of the Truckee River Legacy Trail, located near the Truckee Regional Park. Participants worked on Saturday morning to remove invasive weeds, install irrigation, mulch and reseed the area with native plants.
"It's pretty amazing to see 100 people working out here and the amount of work we're going to get done in three hours," said Lisa Wallace, member of the Truckee River Watershed Council.
Each year, local nonprofit organizations are invited to submit projects to be considered for Echo Day. The project was selected by resort employees as an opportunity to give back to the community. Vail Resorts gives a cash grant to the nonprofit to help cover the cost of tools, supplies and more for the project.
"It's awesome to see how fast and how committed everyone is. We're thrilled to work with the Truckee River Watershed Council and it's just been a beautiful day on the river," said Bill Rock, chief operating officer at Northstar. "The camaraderie and teamwork — it's been so much fun. I'm sure next year's project is going to be bigger and better than this one. I definitely encourage people to come out and help."
The Truckee River Watershed Council brings the community "together for the Truckee." The organization focuses on collaborative solutions for the protection, enhancement and restoration of the Truckee River Watershed.
"If you're interested in participating in Echo Day, and you're working at Northstar, it's really a surprisingly good corporate project — good to bring the family to," said Wallace.
Launched in August 2010, Vail Resorts Echo Day is an annual, company-wide volunteer day for Vail Resorts employees and their families. Focused on projects that are meaningful in the local resort communities where the company operates, Vail Resorts Echo Day hosted seven events for employees and their family and friends this past weekend, with nearly 1,100 employees participating in the projects from Tahoe to Jamaica, equating to 4,950 hours of volunteer service.
