Although we�re in the right season, we knew ahead of time that we wouldn�t be there during one of the mass arrivals -- they�re expecting the next group around the 8th of this month, after the full moon passes.
After the presentation, we set out for a bumpy, hot ride to the beach
After the last hatchlings were making their way towards the waves, the guide got a signal from the ranger, and we quickly made our way down to the beach. On the way, we passed fresh tracks in the sand -- earlier that evening, a new mother had made her way up onto shore and back out into the ocean.
When we arrived where the ranger was waiting, we saw a new nest hatching. The eggs are buried deep in the sand, so you don�t actually see the turtles come out of the eggs
Meanwhile, the patrolling ranger had returned back the other direction, and was signaling again. We headed back quickly, but then suddenly came to a complete stop. Up ahead, we could clearly see a turtle leaving the surf and heading up onto the beach. As a group, we paused and sat on a section of beach while the guide went to investigate. As it turned out, the signal had been for a mother coming ashore, but now there were two. We waited and watched as the closer turtle came further ashore, wandered a bit to find the best spot, and began to dig. According to the guide, the turtles nest not only on the same beach that they were born, but in the same spot -- it�s believed that they build their nest within 10 meters of the place they were born.
When the mothers were contently digging, we divided into two groups, with one group heading to each turtle
After we stood and watched her swim away, we headed back to the office. On the way back, we passed a fresh set of tracks where a third turtle had arrived and left while we were watching the first two. We also found a tiny baby turtle from a completely different nest who was trapped on the way back to the sea. In this area, crabs burrow little holes the same size as baby turtles. When the turtles fall into these holes, as this baby had done, they often become a meal. We stopped to watch the baby and cheer it on as it managed to pull itself out of the hole and head back to the water. Finally, we passed unexpectedly by yet another mother in the process of digging herself a hole. Like the others, she hadn�t been there the first time we passed by.
In all, we saw one nest hatching, three moms laying, one stray baby, two sets of additional tracks, and two basketfulls of hatchlings from earlier in the day -- it was absolutely amazing!
Well worth the wait.

Mine Yoshizaki
|Mine Yoshizaki
December 2, 1971
Isahaya, Nagasaki, Japan
|Manga artist
|Mine Yoshizaki's Homepage
Mine Yoshizaki (吉崎 観音? Yoshizaki Mine, born December 2, 1971 in Isahaya, Nagasaki) is a Japanese manga creator who first started his career by making dōjinshi based on video games. Yoshizaki also worked as an assistant to manga artist Katsu Aki. His first publication was featured in a compilation book published by Shogakukan in 1989.
Yoshizaki, a graduate student of Nagasaki University, started from drawing his own doujinshi, based on video games that were famous at that time (somewhere in the 1980s). With that doujinshi, he practiced and improved his drawing skills day by day. Yoshizaki said that his experience in drawing doujinshi was the most priceless experience that he ever had. According to him, making doujinshi gave him the opportunity to seek through the world of the manga industry, with all aspects from drawing to producing (meeting with printers, editing process etc.). This allows him to do all the work, rather working in a big-scale production company that lets him work in one particular branch.
He is best known for his manga Keroro Gunso, published as Sgt. Frog in the United States, which was first published in the Japanese manga magazine Shōnen Ace.[1] He is also the creator of Arcade Gamer Fubuki and did character design on the series Seven of Seven. In 2005, Sgt. Frog received the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga.[2]
- 1993–1995: Detana!! TwinBee (spin-off from the video game Twin Bee)
- 1995–1997: Space Juubei
- 1996–1998: VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire (tie-in manga)
- 1998–2002: Arcade Gamer Fubuki
- 1999–present: Sgt. Frog (story and design)
- 2000–2003: Dragon Quest Monsters +
- 2007–2011: Otomedius (spin-off from the Gradius series)
- 2017: Kemono Friends (character design)
Due to various Gundam references, an ongoing Sgt. Frog anime was produced by Bandai. This led to Yoshizaki collaborating on certain Gundam projects, such as designing the mascot girls Reiko Holinger and Catharine Blitzen for the Gundam Card Builder game.
He has also been the designer of the Angel-XX figurine series from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
His latest work was for Konami's new Gradius-type shooter Otomedius, which he did the character designs for. This is significant because, instead of simply moving a fighter craft around, the player controls a unique character bound within a vehicle.
He has also designed a playable character called Angol Fear (a nod to his character Angol Mois in Sgt. Frog – they even wield similar weapons) to the fighting game Soulcalibur IV, and was the character designer for the well praised Kemono Friends anime series.

This is a great product for anyone with fine and frizzy hair. It keeps your hair shiny and soft all day. The smell is natural and not overpowering like other products I've tried. I loved my sample but I don't think I will be purchasing a full size for it is a little pricy and small for my liking.4

ST. PAUL, MN – A group of cholesterol-lowering drugs may also effectively interfere with the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). These drugs, known as statins, greatly reduce hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heart disease, mainly by their cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-lowering properties. A study published in the October 8 issue of Neurology, the journal of he American Academy of Neurology, indicates that statins may also have therapeutic potential for a variety of immunity related disorders such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes and graft-rejection in organ transplantation. Researchers from Austria and Germany investigated the impact of statins on a variety of immune responses in MS, comparing the effects with those induced by interferon-beta, an established disease-modifying therapy in MS. Using blood drawn from 74 MS patients and 25 healthy donors, tests were performed in vitro with lovastatin, simvastatin, mevastatin, and interferon alone, and statins plus interferon. "Our study shows that statins modify several molecules of the immune system involved in the disease progression of MS, independent of their use with interferon," notes study author Juan José Archelos, MD, of Karl-Franzens University, Graz, Austria. "The potent anti-inflammatory effects of statins are remarkable, and even more effective when combined with interferon-beta."
This study indicates that these well-established therapeutic agents may be a useful stand-alone or add-on therapy to interferon-beta, with the added advantage of an oral versus injectible delivery. While study results are encouraging, study authors caution that much more research is necessary to establish the precise mechanisms by which statins induce these anti-inflammatory effects.

MSNBC, for the second time on Thursday, smeared the National Rifle Association as racist, trashing the gun group's president as appealing to bigotry. Now host Alex Wagner read from an op-ed by Wayne LaPierre in which he argues that owning a gun is the only real protection from crime, looting and riots. Specifically, LaPierre mentioned the aftermath to Hurricane Sandy and looting in Brooklyn.

This is the most significant of the group of chocolate multiples Roth made in the late 1960s. The title is a reference to the 1916 novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, by James Joyce, but the work is a portrait of Roth as an old man, cast in a mixture of chocolate and birdseed. It was intended to be mounted on a post in the open air and consumed by birds until nothing remained. Unlike a traditional marble portrait bust, meant to endure through the ages, this work is a testament to Roth's belief in impermanence and the inevitability of aging and bodily decay.

I know this is a common asked question so I tried everything I could possibly think of before turning to the internet but i have yet to successfully get my brakes to bleed. my bike originally came with no front brakes so the master cylinder is brand new, and the lines and calipers are used, but calipers have been freshly rebuilt installed and the internals are in good condition based on inspection during rebuild. I have also replaced the banjo bolt seals on the caliper with new ones.
Attempt #1
bleed master cylinder, bleed lines, then bleed calipers the old fashioned way, push brake, open bleeder, closer bleeder, release brake, repeat. did this for about half an hour to an hour and never got the slightest bit of pressure.
Attempt #2
bought the mighty vac kit and proceeded to bleed with vacuum, got bubbles as long as i tried to bleed
Attempt #3
let brakes sit over night with brake caliper pushed in hoping any air would release to the top. this seemed to have no effect
Attempt #4
removed the master cylinder and calipers from the bike. placed master cylinder on the floor and calibers on the bench. then vacuum bleed, seemed to always get air in the lines. then tried bleed the manual way, fluid seemed to come out clear with no air bubbles. while there is pressure now the lines are extremely squishy and i can pull the brake lever all the way to the bars.
so far i have tried the above attempts at least twice each for the past 3 weeks and im getting pretty frustrated and running out of ideas of what could be wrong.

Glacier park shutdown hurts local business
KALISPELL, Mont. - The federal government shutdown is reaching farther than just Washington, D.C., as national parks like Glacier were forced to close.
Visitors at the park may be seeing the effects inside of the park, but businesses outside of the park are beginning to feel the economic pinch that it's caused.
"We're a bit disappointed because we're a really small business and we work really hard," said Victoria Lee, owner of Great Northern Resort in West Glacier. "This year was meant to be our good fall for business."
For the first time in six years, Going-to-the-Sun Road was supposed to be open from the west side of the park. That would have brought more visitors. But last week, the park dropped the gates and closed the road. What was supposed to be good, fell flat.
"It's a little bit irritating," Lee said.
Guests started canceling. That meant refunds, and for a small business, that put a pinch on their cash flow.
"I would say we probably lost about $2,000 to $4,000 which doesn't sound like a lot but we're a really small business so it's quite a chunk for us."
The Great Northern Resort will close on October 15. With no end in sight to the shutdown, the Lees can cross off their hopes for a better fall.
"We know it's a short season but we're a bit disappointed that we weren't able to finish the way we hoped to."

One could soliloquize at length about what the video below has to say about the way in which the notion of celebrity has come to dominate this election season. One could explain, for those who don't know, the long-running internet joke to which it refers. But there comes a time in every man's life when it is necessary simply to post a video in which Barack Obama's speeches have been edited in order to make it look like he is singing along to Never Gonna Give You Up, by Rick Astley. And that time is now. [The Margins of Error]
Forget ads attacking McCain. The Democrats should just run this video, nationwide, because it's excellent.

Nicole Richie's perky tits and pierced nipples exposed to the worldWednesday, June 11th, 2008
As we all know, Nicole Richie is one notorious wild chick known for outrageous acts of defiance and drunk partying. It is impossible to gain that kind of notoriety by being an innocent babe without an ounce of sexuality in her. Nicole flashed her tits with her brand new nipple piercing during the Joey and T Fashion Show for the entire world to see. She cemented her reputation by this act of sexuality. She said after the incident, "I've just gone through so much in my life that pulling my top up just doesn't seem like that big a deal." Well, we really couldn't blame her. I, for one, don't care if she does her crazy antics as long as we get to see some young titties! And she said that it just doesn't seem like that big a deal to flash her breasts. So we'll just let her do her thing and as a result get to see some rich kid boobs!
Click here for more flashing from this infamous Hollywood T.V. personality. If you want to see the full footage of this runway flashing, then simply click on any of the pictures and be able to download the whole video.

By the way, PMS (for beekeepers) stands for parasitic mite syndrome. I believe it was initially used to describe the severe symptoms seen in hives with heavy loads of both Varroa and tracheal mites, then beekeepers discovered that the same symptoms could appear with heavy loads of either mite alone (maybe due to viruses becoming more noticeable among the bees weakened by mites).

If the Mayansâ prediction is right, the world is going to end on 21 December 2012. So keeping in mind weâre all going to die in less than a month, here are the 10 things you must do before you die.
Get off social networking for a weekOkay, this is not easy. But give it a try and enjoy real life for a change. When youââ¬â¢re back, youââ¬â¢ll have something nice to update rather than your normal rants and other updates.
Abuse certain political parties on Facebook If you have guts, try abusing certain political parties openly on Facebook for their dictatorial ideologies. Please note, we are not responsible for whatever happens to you.
Not get arrested for the aboveIf the political parties donââ¬â¢t get you for the abuses, the police will. Try not getting arrested.
Send a nasty email to your bossàIf you have a mean boss who has constantly troubled you, itââ¬â¢s time to make him pay. Write a nasty email to him and CC it to the entire office. Better if you ridicule him in front of the whole office. Who cares if he fires you? The world is anyway going to end.
Watch Jaani Dushman- Ek Anokhi Kahani, Kaafila, Teen IkkePlan an evening with your closest friends and watchàJaani Dushman- Ek Anokhi Kahani, Kaafila and Joginderââ¬â¢s Teen Ikke. These are the most ridiculously funny films with the hammiest performances. And they have some scenes that might make you ââ¬Ëdieââ¬â¢ laughing.ÃÂ
Visit Goa without any Facebook status updateVisit Goa but donââ¬â¢t post anything about it on Facebook. Plan a trip to enjoy the place and not because it gives you a chance to post pics and status updates on Facebook.
Vist Leh-LadakhYou must visit Leh-Ladakh if you still havenââ¬â¢t. Itââ¬â¢s one of the finest places youââ¬â¢ll ever visit. And something to remember the Earth by.
Go on a trekLeave the city for a day or two to be with real nature. It will also help you shed those extra kilos you gained this holiday season.
Pray that the world doesnââ¬â¢t actually endEven if you are an atheist, pray that the world actually doesnââ¬â¢t end on 21stàDecember. We surely donââ¬â¢t want to die so soon.
Make sure that you do all of the above nine thingsMost to-do lists arenââ¬â¢t really followed and end up being just lists. So make sure this one is completed.

Fire fighters from Station 54, 55, 56, 57 and the Southard Fire Department 19-3 battled a building fire at the Coldwell Banker Realtor office located at 2052 West County Line Road on Thursday morning November 8, 2012 just before 6 a.m. during the nor'easter Athena winter storm. While two engine companies 5541 and 5511 were committed around the corner at Metedeconk Trail and Brewers Bridge Road with primary wires down and burning in front of a residence and in proximity to a natural gas line, Assistant Chief Mike Waters 5510 with Assistant Safety Officer Nick Prioli 5580 responded from the Brewers Bridge job, established incident command, and reported a working fire, with fire showing on Sides A, D and the C/D corner. Chief Carson 5500 sounded a second alarm from the storm control at Station 55. There were live downed service wires from the fire building laying on the ground at the A/B corner. Jackson Mills Engine 5421 laid all of their 5″ bed down County Line, and Tower Ladder 5505 picked up the 5″ and laid their own 5″ line in to the fire, in position for aerial attack as well as providing a 2 1/2″ hand line to the fire. Since Engine 5521 with a crew was deployed to Brick Township to assist in the Hurricane efforts, Captain Ed Moore and the crew on Engine 5531 laid their 5″ line from Melody Lane down County Line in the opposite direction as 5505, and immediately supplied a 2 1/2″ hand line to the fire. Crews alternated between the fire building and an adjacent exposure to 2050 West County Line. Southard Fire Department's Ladder Tower 19-3-90 was positioned across the street in the eastbound lanes of the divided highway and provided an aerial master stream, supplied by their pumper/tanker. Southard 19-3 also provided a RIT team for the incident. Additional fire fighters were provided by Cassville Engine 5621 and Rescue 5503. Jackson Mills Station 54 Rehab Trailer provided hot coffee and a place for fire fighters to warm up and rest. A primary and secondary search of the building resulted in no occupants being located. The quick attack stopped the progression of the fire from directly entering the two story section of the fire building, and also prevented interior damage to the exposure. Only the siding melted of the exposure, and most of the one story section of the real estate office was destroyed.
The Ocean County Fire Marshal's office investigated the fire and determined it to be caused by an over-current in the electrical system from the downed power lines.
There were no injuries.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Subway RestaurantsMilford, Connecticut United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My subway franchise was marked out of compliance with out any reason. I was objecting the DA's office to set upanother restuarant close to mine. Actually he was trying to set up his own restaurant close to mine. Because of this, he kept on insisting those good for nothing field consultants to mark my restaurant out of compliance. This happenend for quite sometime and finally I got the notice from the corporate telling me that my franchise agreement has been terminated. I was told to attend a totally biased arbitration that was held in Milford. They didn't even consider any of the comments I made. It was totally towards subway. So finally they gave the award in favor of Subway. After that I charged all the legal fees and other unrelated fees in the tune of $25,000. So beware of this franchise. You never make any money from Subway franchisee. The corporate makes a lot of money from your efforts. There are a lot of dissatisfied franchisees out there, who are completely stuck with this stinking business. Stay away from them. And to all the Subway lovers out there, the food you are eating is never fresh as they claim. They come in frozen packed packets and a lot of them are never fresh.

Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

You stated the DA was trying to open "another restaurant close to mine" but you didn't say how close. Was this restaurant also a Subway? If so, then provisions are made by the franchise to prevent them from being a threat to each other.
Surveys are conducted to gather information on population and revenue in the area and borders are defined.
Did you lose $22,000. or $25,000
You said "there are a lot of dissatisfied franchisees out there, who are stuck with this stinking business" why on earth would you try to hurt them by telling people to "stay away from them"
You appear vindictive and spiteful, you slam the franchise for the word "fresh" when most people know that the word fresh is often mis-represented (most canned products are madewith the freshest of ingredients). You are also greedy, inso far as you are not willing to share the profit potential in your area. Competition is healthy, it lowers prices and prevents monoplies. As far as fast food goes,subway is some vestage of hope amoung all the fat producing franchises.

I wonder if you would be making the comments about the quality of the food if you were still running a Subway branch.

And I know a person can always print more, but how much do you think would be 'too many'?

Bonjour Tristesse
RVC Design, New York, New York, 2001
Bonjour Tristesse is a classic novel; written more than 50 years ago; it was one of my mother's favorite books. Redesigning a classic is always a problem.
In Otto Preminger's movie of this book, the credits unfold over an image of Jean Seberg applying make up in front a vanity mirror. This image captures the essence of the novel. A girl discovers her sexuality and uses it to keep her father from remarrying and, in doing so, becomes cynical and unfulfilled. Saul Bass created a wonderful poster for the movie using the face of a young woman with a single tear falling. I just updated this image.
I am pleased with the spare nature of the cover —just type, parentheses and a teardrop.

David Wetherill still isn't sure what all the fuss is about.
The British table tennis ace has been one of the stories of the 2012 Paralympic Games after making the shot heard 'round the world — an impressive dive across the table to return a volley against Germany's Thomasz Kusiak.
It doesn't matter that Wetherill lost Friday's match 3-1, or that he's now out of the Games. People can't stop talking about this amazing play, which has put the Paralympic Games and table tennis in a well-deserved spotlight. More than 2.5 million people have watched the YouTube clip of Wetherill's "superman shot." It's all caught the 22-year-old just a bit off guard.
"I will admit it looks incredible on video," Wetherill told Wired in an exclusive interview from London, where he was standing outside Olympic Stadium. "At the time I was really pleased with winning the point."
Wetherill, who recently graduated from University of Sheffield, said he's been overwhelmed by the attention. No less an authority than Table Tennis Daily called it "one of the best table tennis shots ever." But Wetherill said he didn't think it was that big a deal until much later.
"I didn't want to give up on it," he said of the point. "If I could reach it, I had the skill to get it."
Although he appreciates the kudos, Wetherill said the shot is just one example of the amazing, and often inspirational, feats so often seen in Paralympic competition. He's got a point — it's hard to watch, say, Richard Whitehead's amazing come-from-behind victory in the 200 meters or Matt Stutzman's silver medal-winning performance in archery and not be awed.
"I've got so much respect for the other players, because you see some things that are absolutely incredible," he said. "The level of sport is not so far away from the Olympics really, even though we're disabled and have limitations, we are capable of incredible things."
The Games are over for Wetherill the competitor, but not for Wetherill the fan. He's been watching the action and supporting is teammates on Team GB. The No. 5 player in the world is disappointed that he didn't win a medal, but looking forward to Rio in 2016.
"It's unreal, I can't believe it," he said of his bright future. "But it's a very small consolation from losing."
No less disappointing is the fact his coach has told him to take two months off. He's a fierce competitor and wants to start working toward gold in Rio. Until then, though, he's happy to enjoy the exposure he's brought to his sport, and to the Games. It's all been just a bit, well, ridiculous.
"On Twitter everyone has been 'ridiculous,'" he laughed. "I've been saying 'ridiculous' a lot since the commenters said it."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

text: I have a 1996 ESC with 40K miles on it. When I brought the car 3-months ago it had 38k on it. Somewhere on this forum I believe I saw posts that stated the trans fluid is suppose to last up to 100K. If this is true does my trans fluid need changing being 9 years old with a little over 3years worth of miles? I'm pretty sure the car has the original trans fluid, not to mention a oil express sticker on the window dated 10/31/04 that shows that after I drive the car another 200mls I will need to change the oil. I've been reading alot of the post on this forum and the cooling system is a very big topic in maintaining the N* engine not to mention this whole blown head gasket thing. The car run very well with no problems so might this be a case of if its not broke don't fix it or trans fluid this old should be changed a hell of alot sooner than 100K?

Black and white
I love a good black and white. I like to study them and see if I can duplicate the settings when I see a good one. (It never comes out the same though...) But that's because every picture is different. Different lighting, different settings, etc. And I prefer to do a black and white on a single subject vs 2 of them. It's more dramatic when it's just a single subject. But I was playing around and thought I'd share a few examples.
This is my favorite. I think because of the lightness.
A little darker and a little different color.
This one is definitely not my favorite...but...there's something about it that I like. It seems to have a 40-50's type style. Again, if it was just a picture of Maison, sorta smiling, it would be more dramatic. Sometimes it's tough to decide.

Play time
I am so ready for winter to be over...as I'm sure many are! And I really need to figure out why some browsers are showing a black background on this site and some are not...I guess I need to add it to my list of "things to do"! Along with updating more often, taking more pictures, etc. On top of that, I've just taken my 5th (I think) part-time job!
A few weeks ago, I took the dog to the park. We had had a taste spring and the weather was glorious. And I knew it would be wet down there and since it was so warm, I figured she'd enjoy getting muddy and I could still hose her off and get her dry before it cooled off again. I was not wrong!
I was testing my manual settings to make sure I could "freeze" the mud/water drops.
Shake, shake, shake your booty!
"What do you mean you don't want to get muddy?!"
She's so expressive...and happy! "Did someone say mud?!

If you have business income, you have to declare it on your income tax return. (And note that business income from other countries counts, too; it's your worldwide income that you must declare on your income tax, not just whatever income you've made in Canada.)
How you declare your business income depends on the structure of your business.
Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships
If you are operating a sole proprietorship or a partnership, you will be declaring your business income on your T1 individual income tax return by completing Form T2125 – Statement of Business or Professional Activities, which is part of the T1 income tax package.
As mentioned in a previous post, You May Have Business Income and Not Even Know It!, if you have not officially set up a business, you will be assumed to be a sole proprietorship using your own legal name and therefore will be using Form T2125 to declare your business income as well.
If you have more than one business, you will have to fill out a T2125 form for each.
If your business is incorporated, you will be declaring your business income on the T2 corporate income tax return, as well as completing a T1 tax return as an individual. You may find this Canadian Corporate Tax Guide useful.
Find Your Industry Code
No matter what form of business you have chosen as your business's legal structure, you will need to know the Industry Code that your business falls under.
For instance, the industry code for Internet Shopping (including Internet selling), is 454111.
Use the appendix of the Business and Professional Income Guide (Canada Revenue Agency) to find out what your business's industry code is, if you don't already know it so you will be able to complete the Identification section of the tax return.
TurboTax Can Help2h>
Whether your small business is incorporated or not, TurboTax can make completing and filing your tax return easier. TurboTax Home & Business (available as downloadable software and in an online version) is designed for sole proprietors and partnerships, while TurboTax Business Incorporated (available as downloadable software only) is for Canadian corporations.
Both tax solutions provide step-by-step guidance for completing your income tax return and can help you find all the tax deductions and credits you're eligible for. And both are Canada Revenue Agency approved, so you can NETFILE your return(s) from within the program.

We admit it, Bring Your Own Wine restaurants, a Montréal speciality, can be hit or miss experiences. Here are three culturally diverse classics that never disappoint. We've been going back to them for years with the same pleasure.
521 avenue Duluth Est, Montréal (Qc) H2L 1A8
t : 514-521-4206
For years now, Duluth street has been known for its many mediterranean-themed BYOW restaurants, but only one consistently earns its rank among the tastiest greek restaurants in the city. Panos, as the locals simply call it, offers traditional dishes in a lively and family-friendly environment. We come back for the lamb chops, the fried calamari, the moussaka and many others traditional delicacies. The generous servings are made to be shared, so go ahead and order a bit of everything.
330 rue Marie-Anne Est, Montréal (Qc) H2W 1B1

Eating at Le P'tit Plateau feels like being invited by a friend of a friend who – conveniently – is a French chef. The ambiance is intimate but not intimidating, and the cooking is clearly fueled by a real passion for French cuisine. Foie gras addicts will get their fix while connaisseurs of home-made sauces will most probably ask for an extra bread basket to « clean » their plates.
If you brought a Chardonnay or a Riesling, give the refined home-smoked salmon a try, you won't regret it. Note that there's two services per evening, so if you've made reservations for the first one, be aware that you will be asked to leave when the time comes for the second one; it'd be sad to do so before having the time to finish your crème caramel….
73 avenue Duluth Est, Montréal (Qc) H2W 1G9
t : 514-844-7405 / www.aucoinberbere.ca
Au Coin Berbère features a full menu of the most renowned North African classic recipes along some some new surprisingly nice variations. Purists fear not : the restaurant owner is not a fusion-freak but rather an epicurean with an interest in local products, hence his now famous Québec rabbit couscous. The choices on the menu may be limited but the flavors aren't.
For a perfect dinner, accompany the chosen plate with a bottle of Madiran or Beaujolais and end it all with a sweet mint tea.

Thousands descended on the coastal suburb of Faliro for the funeral of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, who was shot by police on Saturday and thus initiated days and nights of rioting and violence that has transformed Athens into a war zone. Before the funeral ended, young men and women were hurling stones, iron bars and marble slabs at the police who fired back with tear gas. It is estimated in Athens alone, more than 200 stores, 50 banks and countless cars have been damaged in the wild explosion of anger. Shops have shut down and hospitals report a surge of wounded people. Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, who holds a one seat majority in Parliament may be forced to hold a new election and most probably will go down to defeat since the nation's youth has lost confidence in his ability to direct the nation.
At the Athens Polytechnic, a center of youth, men and women broke up marble slabs and prepared fire bombs and promised to turn the unrest into "an uprising the likes of which Greece has never seen." One young man commented, "this is not just about the kid, it's about our dreadful education and economic situation. It's our belief and hope that this is the beginning of a rebellion against the system."
Union leaders are prepared to strike and close down airline flights and ferries. Is this the first example of young men and women rebelling against the system which has created an economic mess?

At long last, the Bears have a Pro Bowl quarterback.
General manager Jerry Angelo pulled the trigger Thursday afternoon on the Bears' biggest offseason move in recent history, acquiring disgruntled Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos for their first- and third-round draft picks this year and their first-round pick in 2010, along with quarterback Kyle Orton. The Bears will get Denver's fifth-round pick this year. Cutler had recently requested a trade as the result of what became irreconcilable differences with the Broncos' new coach, Josh McDaniels.
"It all came together unexpectedly," Angelo said. "We had plenty of time to think about it, and I came to the conclusion, after talking with (coach) Lovie (Smith) and (team President and CEO) Ted Phillips that we needed to pursue this. And, (we said) 'If we get in it, we're getting in it to win it.'"
Cutler was voted to his first Pro Bowl last season, equaling the number of Pro Bowl appearances by Bears quarterbacks in the past 44 years.
Angelo has tried a variety of ways to bring a franchise quarterback to Chicago. He drafted Cade McNown and Rex Grossman in the first round, Orton in the fourth round and Craig Krenzel in the fifth round. He brought in other teams' free agents like Brian Griese, Chris Chandler and Jonathon Quinn, and castoffs like Kordell Stewart and Chad Hutchinson. None of them panned out.
But now the Bears have the closest thing to a franchise quarterback since Sid Luckman in the 1940s. The scenario that brought Cutler to the Bears was rare, not only for a Bears franchise perennially beset by quarterback problems but in league annals.
"It's the first time for me," said Angelo, a 30-year veteran of the NFL. "When you just look at the history of the league, I can't recall a situation quite like this. All we did was reacted to a situation that we felt would benefit our football team."
A couple hours later, the Bears got some protection for Cutler when they agreed to terms with 33-year-old, seven-time Pro Bowl offensive left tackle Orlando Pace on a three-year contract.
"I feel like Jerry and those guys are really making big steps," Bears wide receiver Devin Hester said on Sporting News Radio shortly after the trade was announced. "They're going out and doing whatever it takes, and they're shocking me. The moves they're making are incredible, and we're striving to be a Super Bowl team."
In Cutler, the Bears get one of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL and one of the strongest arms in the league, but they also get a player who comes with some baggage.
Cutler's petulant behavior in his last weeks in Denver turned off a lot of football purists who wondered why he considered himself above being traded or even having his name mentioned in trade talks. Cutler essentially forced a trade when he boycotted the Broncos' offseason weight-lifting program after finding out that McDaniels had discussed the possibility of trading him to acquire ex-Patriot Matt Cassel without notifying him. Cutler then refused to communicate with either McDaniels or Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, officially requesting a trade through his agent, Bus Cook.
"I don't personally have any concerns with that," Angelo said. "We did a lot of work going all the way back to his time at Vanderbilt. We felt that he's a very good person, a good leader. He had some things that happened in Denver. We recognize those, but we treated them as just speed bumps, part of the growing process. He's highly competitive, he's highly emotional. That just comes with the territory."
Cutler's production on the field has been prolific, and that made him attractive to at least several NFL teams, including the Bucs, Lions, Jets, Browns, 49ers and Redskins. Last season, Cutler threw for 4,526 yards, trailing only the Cardinals' Kurt Warner and the Saints' Drew Brees. Cutler was seventh in the NFL with 25 touchdown passes, but he also was intercepted 18 times, more than anyone in the NFL except for Brett Favre, who was picked off 22 times.
Although he's only 25, Cutler has started 37 games, including all 16 in each of the past two seasons, compiling a passer rating of 87.1 with 54 TD passes and 37 interceptions.
Orton, 26, has started 33 games, including 15 last season, compiling a career passer rating of 71.1 with 30 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. Ironically, it was Orton's appeal to the Broncos that swung the deal in the Bears' favor, according to Angelo.
Cutler grew up as a Bears fan in Santa Claus, Ind., and will be reunited in Chicago with two former Vanderbilt teammates; wide receiver Earl Bennett and offensive tackle Chris Williams. In Cutler's senior season at Vanderbilt, Bennett caught 79 passes as a freshman.
Although Cutler could benefit from his relationship with Bennett, he will have some adjustments to make. Last season, he threw to Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, possibly the best young wide receiver tandem in the NFL. They combined for 195 receptions and 2,245 receiving yards last season for the Broncos.
That won't be the case with the Bears. Aside from Hester, who caught 51 passes last season for a team-best 665 yards, the Bears are short on talent. Last year, the combined total of the five other wide receivers currently on the Bears' roster — John Broussard, Devin Aromashodu, Davis, Brandon Rideau and Earl Bennett — was 35 catches and 445 yards, all by Davis.
Lions: Who will be quarterback?
Matthew Stafford? Mark Sanchez? Will one of them fill the void at quarterback for the Lions? It's known now it won't be Jay Cutler after he was traded to the Chicago Bears.
As soon as the Broncos announced Cutler was on the trading block, the Lions were one of the first teams mentioned. They had inquired about him in February.
However, the Lions didn't have a potential starting quarterback to send to Denver as a replacement for Cutler, as Kyle Orton was a key to Denver making the deal with Chicago. The Lions have the No. 1 pick, but the No. 1 pick is difficult to trade because of the rookie contract involved. They do have four more picks in the first 82, but they don't sound eager to part with them.
"We said all along we want to build this team through the draft," Lions President Tom Lewand said, declining to speak about Cutler before the deal with the Bears went down. "A lot of teams say that. But the ones who are disciplined about that approach actually do it. So ,we have to be cognizant of that goal and that philosophy and have the discipline to stick to that.
"That doesn't mean you don't make trades. But it means you do so with the recognition you're giving away the opportunity to add to your core through the draft and the recognition that it's the most important way to construct a foundation."
Stafford, often compared to Cutler, went through a private workout for the Lions on campus at Georgia. By all accounts, he was impressive. The next day, the Lions had Sanchez make some extra throws for them at Southern Cal's pro day. By all accounts, he was impressive, too.
Lewand said he is working on contract parameters with multiple candidates for the No. 1 pick.
"From our standpoint, it's about making the right decision, not when you make it," Lewand said. "So whether that decision gets made a week from now or shortly before the draft, it's less important than getting the decision right."
Vikings: Focus on retaining own players
The Vikings might not have been very active in free agency this offseason but it does appear the team is taking a proactive approach to retaining its own players.
Talks are ongoing with veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield, who is entering the final season of his contract, and cornerback Cedric Griffin received a five-year, $25 million extension two weeks ago. And that might just be the start.
It's probably a safe assumption that talks of extensions could begin in the coming months with linebacker Chad Greenway (two years left on his contract), running back Chester Taylor (one year) and even Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson (three years).
"Rob (Brzezinski, the Vikings' vice president of football operations) does a great job of all those projection-type things," coach Brad Childress said. "I really wouldn't want to comment on (individual players) but, yeah, you're looking at the guys that are next, next, next. Where you can go out and do that. Those deals don't just happen. You've got to have them on the radar for them to happen."
The Vikings allowed veteran center Matt Birk (Baltimore) and safety Darren Sharper (New Orleans) to leave as free agents last month, but since Childress took over in 2006, they have locked up several of their own.
The list of players who have received contract extensions under Childress includes defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams, linebacker E.J. Henderson, left tackle Bryant McKinnie and punter Chris Kluwe.
Childress said the Vikings' approach with Griffin and Winfield is not necessarily a reflection of the team having extra money because it elected to tread lightly into the free-agent market.
"Yes and no," he said. "Sometimes, you get presented with, 'You can have this guy or this guy,' or, 'You don't do this guy, you can do these guys.' We go with the philosophy that you identify the guys that you want to keep and then you try to keep them.
"... Everybody can say, the constituency can say, 'I wish they would have been more active in free agency.' Well, you get spoiled by signing three good players last year. (The Vikings signed or traded for defensive end Jared Allen, wide receiver Bernard Berrian and safety Madieu Williams.) But those players weren't out this year, quite honestly. It was kind of a watered-down group and you know what? Only to get more watered down next year."

Kotoko arrive at stadium for FA Cup clash against AshGold but Miners absent
Kotoko have arrived at the Accra Sports Stadium of Sunday's MTN FA Cup quarter-final clash with AshantiGold but there is no sign of the Miners with five minutes to kick-off.
AshGold promised to boycott the match and they looked to have carried out their thereat of not travelling to Accra to honour the match because of the late change of venue.
This means means Kotoko will qualify for the semi-final without kicking a ball while AshGold face a possible ban from the competition as well as massive fines.
Continental broadcasters SuperSport have also deployed their equipment ready to give live coverage of the match across the African continent but the Miners are absent as hopes of them appearing at the last minute fades fast.
"As we tweet there is still no trace of AshantiGold but Kotoko will proceed with the pre-match formalities," Kotoko wrote on their official Twitter page.
The Asante Kotoko team and match officials will however walk through the tunnel and line up for the match.
The referee will then blow his whistle to officially signify the 'no show' before a crowd to serve ample proof of AshGold's recalcitrance.
The Miners have refused to travel to Accra for the game citing inadequate funds to foot the cost of their transportation and camping.
The excuse given by the Obuasi-based club is however very much suspect after the FA Cup Committee agreed to provide extra funds to cover their cost for the game originally fixed to be played at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
The game had to be moved from it's original venue following an indefinite ban slapped on the Baba Yara Stadium by the Ghana FA's Executive Committee last week over security concerns.
AshGold were promised a staggering GH6000 (the biggest ever received by any club in the competition) and 25 percent of the total gate proceeds simply to massage their egos to honour the match which was moved to Accra as the result of the ban.
The Miners however refused to make the trip south to honour the match despite the pledges and interventions made by high ranking officials of the Ghana FA.
The situation leaves AshGold open to serious sanctions from the Ghana FA for throwing the FA Cup competition out of gear with their unprofessional stance.
The bigger issue however is the negative knock-on effect the boycott has on the much-craved development of the local game.
The match had been advertised to be beamed live on digital television not to talk of organisational costs in arranging for match officials, security and other logistics necessary for a standard football match.
Various publications have been run by the Ghanaian media all week-long to stimulate interests of the fans in the game that promised to be explosive.

Billymoore says:April 13, 2014 04:46 pmIt is time for the GFA to take a second look at these 'ban of match venues. If supporters are misbehaving, just let the match be played in an EMPTY STADIUM. why ask Ashgold to travel to Accra? Banning Kotoko from playing at home, the next rational place should have been Len Clay.
ONIPANUA,NEW JERSEY,USA says:April 13, 2014 05:20 pmYea changed the match venue, they threatened to pull out, you promised 'meeting' their complaints someway...The next thing would have been get their commitment to honour the match before sanctioning the match to go on...The authorities ought to, maybe, sanction themselves in this case
Dr Who says:April 13, 2014 08:01 pmBillymoore,I agree with u.changing a venue sometimes become a punishment to other teams who play the punished club...gfa should take a look at that again.
kwame-blz says:April 13, 2014 10:32 pmGFA have no one to blame for the absent of ASh gold but themselves, you sent them no official message or compensation for traveling to accura after ashgold complain about this issue and yet nothing came out to resolve it, you got your sanction to ban them but am aware ashoglod ii know their way when it goes to court. You punish kotoko why include the other clubs they play against I hope the rest of their matches ii be play in kumasi at an empty stadium or you compensate the teams changing their route to accommodate kotoko at their new venues.
