HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's 20 presidential electors unanimously backed President Obama on Monday during the 57th meeting of the state's Electoral College.
But it might be the last time the highly ceremonial yet official process for electing a president is done in such a uniform way.
A Republican-penned proposal already making waves weeks before the new legislative session begins would change how Pennsylvania awards its electoral votes. In place of the current winner-take-all system, in which the winner of the statewide popular vote gets all 20 of the state's electoral votes, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Chester, is proposing a proportional system that would tie electoral votes to the results of the popular vote, at least in Pennsylvania.
Monday, as hand-picked Democratic electors gathered in the state House chamber to officially stamp Obama's second victory in Pennsylvania — and the sixth consecutive Democratic victory in the Keystone State during a presidential election cycle – many said they were opposed to Pileggi's proposal.
"It would just unilaterally disarm our influence on the national scene," said Clifford Levine, an attorney for the Senate Democrats.
After being elected president of the 57th edition of the Electoral College, Levine used the opportunity to blast the GOP plan, which, he said, would undermine the state's history and place as one of the most important parts of the Electoral College system.
The stated goal of Pileggi's plan is to more closely align Pennsylvania's electoral vote with the state's popular vote.
This year, for example, Obama won about 2.9 million votes in Pennsylvania, compared to 2.6 million for Mitt Romney. In the current winner-take-all system, Obama gets all 20 electoral votes, and those millions of people who supported Romney are essentially voiceless in the national vote tally.
In a proportional system, Obama would have collected 12 electoral votes in Pennsylvania, while Romney would have won eight votes.
"This advantage of this system is clear: It much more accurately reflects the will of the voters in our state," Pileggi wrote in a memo to lawmakers announcing the legislation earlier this month.
If that system was used nationally, it would have reduced Obama's margin of victory but would not have changed the outcome of the election.
Two states – Maine and Nebraska – award electoral votes based on congressional districts. Pennsylvania would be the first to use the proportional system, if Pileggi's plan were adopted into law.
All other states use the winner-take-all method.
Democrats on Monday said the Pileggi plan was an attempt to reduce Pennsylvania's electoral significance. Instead of being worth 20 votes, it would be worth a net of three or four votes, making the state a "third class" electoral prize instead of being one of the most important pieces on the map, said state Sen. Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia.
"It really is only the extension of some sour grapes because they lost the election," Hughes said.
Erik Arneson, Pileggi's spokesman, pointed out that Democrats criticized the timing of a similar proposal last year because they said it would have changed the rules right before a presidential election.
"Now they're complaining when a new proposal is being introduced after a presidential election," Arneson wrote in an email Monday. "They won't be satisfied with any timing."
If Republicans seek to change the game, they can hardly be blamed for trying. No Republican presidential candidate has carried the Keystone State since George H. W. Bush in 1988, which makes some in the GOP question if Pennsylvania can still be considered a "swing state."
But if "blue states" such as Pennsylvania are going to award votes proportionally, Levine wants to see Republicans make similar efforts in places such as Texas, Alabama and Georgia – where fracturing GOP majorities would result in a net loss of votes for the Republican candidates.
Until then, there should be no such discussion in Pennsylvania, Levine said.

Article by: Shekhar Srivastava
Status: Finished
Genre: Historical Fiction
During the British period, when British invaded and ruled India, there was a decrease in the wealth of India, India became poorer and poorer. During the British period, a new idea came to them. British companies thought to introduce new goods in India which will be cheaper than the Indian goods. This will be a great idea to decrease Indian economy and as well as increase their economy. This worked.
Indians preferred to buy British goods which were cheaper than the Indian goods. This led to the decrease in Indian economy. At that time, Indians had no machinery to reduce their time. They worked with their hands which took more time and no proper finishing was given to the stuffs. This was also the reason that why Indian people preferred the British goods more.
They had no proper idea that what will happen in the future. Soon, the economy of India began to flow in Britain. India became poorer and poorer.
Due to this, India was burdened by the British and it was easy for British to capture India. And so, during that time, when India was ahead of everyone in the field of economy now is legging behind.
The same is happening nowadays. The Chinese goods are being sold at fewer rates and everyone is buying those goods rather than buying Indian goods. This may lead to poverty in India. It may be easy for China to control India in future.
The people do not understand its effects and to what will it lead. We must wake up before it is too late.

Stalking Vol 2 The Bridge of Reason HTML version
"Let's see if it's not important." Bonnie looked over the wide inlet, her eyes settling on the
farthest point of Stanley Park that we could see, which was the Second Beach Pool only a few
hundred yards away.
"What does the bridge communicate?"
"Traffic, I guess," I said a moment later, understanding that extending her line of sight
beyond the pool would transect the causeway leading to the Lions Gate Bridge.
"That's what it facilitates. I said communicate."
"You'll have to explain what you're after."
"Finally some honesty," she whispered as if to herself. "A few months ago, I said you can't
live in between fact and fiction without confusing what you want with what you think is
necessary, or eventually taking what you think you're entitled to. Living in-between can only
generate fear of the unknown, and confusion about what you think you know, because there is no
true standard to rely on if the standard is moving—like a dance." She looked toward Second
Beach. "That structure is a bridge of communication: goods, services, and workers cross it every
day, but the knowledge and intentions of about sixty-thousand people cross into the city as well,
and all of them are spreading what they think they know, or need to know, to achieve their daily
goals." She widened her eyes in inquiry.
"I can see that."
"The assumptions of the people crossing it include the certainty that the structure is
categorically stable, and how long it takes to make the commute, while anticipating the
inevitable summer construction. Most of them," she smirked, "having learned the benefits of
meshing when two lanes become one, also assume this courtesy." She entwined her fingers.
"Most," I agreed.
"In other words, the bridge is reasoned to be structurally sound and predictably timely,
assuming the cooperation of all who use it. It is the truth to most people, when it actually
represents a means to reaching another destination. This is why they call it a bridge and not a
fact." She raised her brow playfully.
"You're saying our language is the bridge to facts, and our cooperative assumptions smooth
the way?"
"I am, and…?"
"Neither is the truth; we're just heading that way?"
"Yes, and if something isn't exactly the truth, but represents it, it's still not the truth."
"Understood," I said warily.
"Consider the impact on Vancouver if the bridge wobbled."
"Economic instability?"
"Don't guess."
"Now you're getting it: think of our culture as a suspension bridge that bounces slightly with
every step, and each rebound as a nuance of interpretation tha t is the wiggle room that keeps
people more or less centered. What you can't detect is the lateral sway of the structure; we'll call
that our consensus conformation overlooking a fact, because you are looking down at your
reasons—each of them being a plank moving in sync with the sway."
"I've got the picture."
"What would standing on that bridge be like if you could break the spell of your
conformation, and for a second look off to one side?"

Watch 'Pacquiao vs Marquez 4' Full Video Replay
Juan Manuel Marquez finally slayed Manny Pacquiao, shocking the Filipino fight icon in the sixth round Saturday (Sunday Manila time) at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Marquez ended the fight with a overhand right that hit Pacquiao flush, sending Pacquiao down hard. Pacquiao landed under the ropes and lay there for a couple of minutes before getting up and returning to his corner.
The shocking ending stunned the crowd of 16,348 as Marquez had held his own in their first three fights but failed he to get a victory and had never knocked down Pacquiao until Saturday night.
There was no title on the line but plenty of pride as four division champ Marquez showed he was willing to go toe-to-toe with Pacquiao even after getting knocked down in the fifth round of this fight.
He knocked Pacquiao down for the first time in 39 rounds between them in the third round with a right hook over the top.
But the Filipino champ showed few ill effects of the first knockdown in the fourth, rallying to win the round. He responded with a knockdown with the fifth round, busting up Marquez.
Pacquiao continued to dominate Marquez in the sixth round, before the Mexican champ unloaded a perfect right straight to finally get the victory in four fights.
The Filipino was leading all three judges' scorecards, 47-46, before he was knocked out.
Marquez had lost twice and drew once in three previous fights with Pacquiao, all of which went the distance. This time, he left no doubt. – with a report from Reuters

THE GOVERNMENT is poised to make radical changes to the Resource Management Act, drastically raising fines, cutting the time spent considering major projects and limiting some appeal rights.
Environment Minister Nick Smith says the bill will be a major change to the country's planning laws the most important since the RMA came into effect in 1991 and admits "some of the changes will be controversial".
The changes will also enable local councils to make planning changes more quickly and aims to prevent companies using the law to stymie competition from rival firms.
Smith told the Sunday Star-Times that the bill, which "streamlines and simplifies" the act, will be introduced when parliament meets the week after next.
Expect radical changes to planning processes, Smith said, but without changing the environmental purposes of the act.
There had been concern among environmental groups that National was going to change those and bring a "stronger development flavour" into the act. It was not doing so.
The planning process for major projects such as wind farms and hydro-electric dams was too bureaucratic and slow, Smith said, citing the 13 years taken to consider the proposal for a marina at Whangamata and the many years spent over the Wellington city bypass.
"It's been too drawn out, which we think is bad for the economy and incredibly draining," Smith said.
Instead of a two-step process involving first a local body hearing and then another in the Environment Court, major projects could now be heard by a board of inquiry headed by an Environment Court judge or a retired judge. Local bodies could nominate people also to serve on the board.
The board would also have the power to commission their own independent reports on proposals.
Appeal rights against the decisions of the boards would be limited.
"It is our intention to limit the number of appeals that go further up the track."
The bill would be "pretty aggressive" in dealing with vexatious or frivolous objections and would crack down on companies that used the planning process to try to frustrate commercial rivals.
Smith cited the example of supermarket chains that tried to prevent rivals setting up in their neighbourhood.
The government would "increase the power of the courts to be able to ping players that have abused the RMA process", he said.
"The fundamental problem at the moment is that even if a participant knows the case is going to be defeated eventually, they can tie a proposal up in the courts for years.
"The worst penalty they face is a few legal bills and a couple of hundred thousand dollars of legal costs against them. That is small beer compared with the $4 million or $5 million they may be making per year by not having competition in that key marketplace."
The bill would enable local councils to make changes to their plans more quickly the average time taken to make a planning change at present was six years. The law change would remove the requirement that those making submissions on proposed changes had to be given the opportunity to comment on other submissions. This made the process much more complex and slow.
"There will be some controversy around our attempt to find a better balance between the rights of citizens to participate in the planning process and the time it's taking."
Fines for major breaches of the act were also to be toughened, Smith said. "The maximum fine under the current act is $200,000.
"The equivalent in Australia is $2m and in Canada it's $4m."
The bill would go to a select committee, Smith said.

To assert that Will Oldham is a complicated character is to toy with extreme understatement. To suggest that he embodies more than a few contradictions as an artist is to flirt with revealing the painfully obvious. It's no accident that he's regarded as one of indie rock's premier mystery men. This is an image and an aura he's cultivated over the past decade, first at the forefront of what sounded an awful lot like loosely organized back-porch hootenannies field-recorded by the fine folks at Drag City and released under various permutations of the Palace name (from Palace Brothers to Palace Songs to Palace Music to just plain Palace), then as a solo artist recording everything from stripped-down acoustic numbers so lo-fi in nature that even the back porch seemed to have gone missing to more orchestrated roots music that threatened to rock. He tried releasing music under his given name, but it wasn't long before he adopted a new musical alter ego — Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Of the eight albums he's put out since 1992 (not counting any of the numerous seven-inch singles and EPs), no more than two have been attributed to the same band or artist — when a misprint on a seven-inch single dropped the "e" and had him listed as Bonnie 'Princ' Billy, he was referred to by that name in the press on several occasions. And though his alter egos aren't as numerous as those of certain techno DJs, in the realm of the indie-rock singer-songwriter, where folk idioms meet country inflections, acoustic guitars strum up against the occasional burst of feedback, and Americana emerges as some kind of closely guarded secret, name games are at least unusual, if not unprecedented. Because as even a first-year marketing student will tell you, your name is an invaluable commodity, and more than a few heated legal battles over name rights have raged in the business of rock and roll. Yet Oldham had the audacity to release one of his albums — 1996's Arise Therefore (Drag City) — without attributing it to anyone at all.
Of course, even getting the 33-year-old Oldham — who calls Louisville home and appears to have settled on Bonnie "Prince" Billy as the name under which he will record and perform (that's who he'll be when he comes to the Middle East this Friday) — to admit so something as basic as the presence of folk in those acoustic guitars he strums throughout Master and Everyone (Drag City), the newest Bonnie "Prince" Billy full-length, is a bit like pulling teeth. This is the guy whose press photos are all blurry and who didn't see a problem with not putting his name on Arise Therefore. He is, however, candid enough to admit that the latter decision wasn't a particularly good one when I reach him at home.
"Of course, that was a bad idea," he says with a hint of a laugh. "Putting out a record with no name on it was something I did purely out of desperation." So what, you might wonder, drove him to such a difficult point in his career? Did one of his former business associates, musical partners, or label affiliates threaten to sue for the rights to the Palace name? Had he struck out in such a radically new musical direction that he just didn't feel right placing the Palace moniker on Arise Therefore? The answer to every suggestion is a resounding no. But perhaps the last one comes closest to the truth — though many may view his combined output under all of his musical aliases as a cohesive body of work, Oldham has never seen it that way.
"Well, I guess the idea is that when you have a name of a group or an artist, then you expect that the next record, if it has the same name, should be the same group of people playing on it. And I just thought we were making a different kind of record each time, with different people, and different themes, and different sounds. So I thought it was important to call it something different so that people would be aware of the differences. I mean, I don't want people buying my records and being disappointed that it doesn't sound like the last one."
In what I know will be an exercise in absolute futility, I point out that plenty of bands change line-ups from album to album, and that there are solo artists who record under their own names or stage names for entire careers without once using the same backing band twice. But it's evident that Oldham's mind was made up a long time ago. "Within my own tiny little world," he explains, "the first full-length Palace record is with one kind of musician and it was recorded in a certain type of way, while the second one was completely different-sounding and there was a fifth of the amount of people involved. The songs to me also seemed really different. And then the third record was another completely different recording environment and I had different kinds of musicians involved. So those things seemed different enough for me to alter the name. I'll admit that that's just me in the process of moving forward without any benefit of perspective, distance, or time whatsoever."
Eventually, though, Oldham did grow tired of all the name games, which is what led to the Arise Therefore misstep. He also tried working under his given name — Will Oldham — but, in his words, "I didn't like that idea because there were more people than myself involved. See, the thing was that I was learning how to make records all that time, and then at a certain point it was like, 'Okay, it's finally time to come up with one name.' And that name turned out to be Bonnie 'Prince' Billy."
It's a fitting choice. For starters, it has a cryptic edge that fits both Oldham's public persona and his lyrics, which often seem to be written in a personal code he's just daring listeners to crack. It's a reference to Bonnie Prince Charlie, the 18th-century Stuart pretender to the British throne who for decades was a romantic figure to the Scots, with his image secreted in works of art and even utilitarian objects like vases that, if held up to a mirror in a certain way, would reveal the image of the handsome prince atop his horse. And there's something both in Oldham's music, which often brings to mind the romantic image of troubadours of ages past handing down ancient yarns of good and evil with little more than a scrappy guitar and world-weary voice, and in his unassumingly heroic persona that fits the myth of the Young Pretender, though he points out that "a lot of people hate Bonnie Prince Charlie too."
Oldham, who seems to thrive on symbolism, cites another facet of the Bonnie "Prince" Billy name that resonates for him. "Yeah, the name has so many different references that it could almost have a life of its own. Bonnie Prince Charlie has such a beautiful ring to it, and I was very conscious of appropriating that mellifluous sound. And I was also thinking about the name Nat King Cole. But it wasn't until later, and this may have been subconscious, that I remembered that Billy the Kid was William Bonney or Billy Bonney."
Outlaw tendencies aside, Billy the Kid does seem to provide a crucial link to the music that Oldham must have been weaned on — the songs of the Louvin Brothers, of Jimmie Rodgers, and of bluesmen like Washington Phillips, whose "I Had a Good Mother and Father" he covers without attribution on the first Palace Brother CD, 1992's There Is No One What Will Take Care of You (Drag City). Oldham's musical education didn't end there. He's also recorded songs by Brit-punks the Mekons and '60 singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, and by the time of the final Palace full-length salvo, 1995's Viva Last Blues (Drag City; attributed to Palace Music), his band had grown to encompass enough organ, electric guitar, and piano to resemble the Band of the "Basement Tapes," with Oldham himself playing the role of the cryptic Bob Dylan.
Like many artists, though, he has little or no use for labels and categories. The main strains running through each and every one of his incarnations have been Americana, roots music, folk, and, at times, country. But he isn't copping to any of it. "I don't think it's roots music, though it's definitely influenced by Western popular music," is his retort to my suggestion that he plays roots music.
How about Americana?
"I don't think so. I mean, I sing in English."
Indie rock?
"It's on independent labels."
Any relation at all to punk rock?
"Ah, I would say, yeah, that it does," he admits as something finally captures his fancy. "I would say that I think the way we go about putting shows together and putting records together is directly related to my experience with the way I saw shows growing up and bought records growing up. I mean, I've done a lot of seven inches, and the main reason is that I bought a lot of seven inches when I was younger. I loved having a little time with this music, just one or two songs. And 85 percent of it was punk-rock seven inches."
Okay, how about folk music?
"My definition of folk music is music that people hear and then re-sing.
Do you think punk rock is folk music?
"Yeah. Any song that people learn the words to and play in their own band is folk music. And that can be anything."
Finally, something we all — even Will Oldham — can agree on.

Speaking of the Moon--Stunning Photo of Blue Moon Over DC As LADEE Gets Ready to Launch
A day before NASA holds a pre-launch press briefing about its latest Moon probe, the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang (CWG) has posted a stunning photograph of the "Blue Moon" over the reflecting pool and the Washington Monument taken last night. The Monument is looking resplendent these days surrounded by scaffolding that is lighted at night. The photo was taken at the "Blue Hour." The CWG's website offers an excellent explanation of the "blue" terminology.

As we reported yesterday, the idea of sending humans back to the surface of the Moon got a boost with the release of the latest version of the Global Exploration Roadmap.
Although NASA stressed that it has no plans to send astronauts to the lunar surface regardless of what others may do, it is getting ready to launch another robotic probe to orbit the Moon -- the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Experiment Explorer (LADEE). NASA will hold a press conference about the mission tomorrow (Thursday, August 22) at 3:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
The launch itself is scheduled from Wallops Island, VA on September 6 just before midnight (11:27 pm) EDT. The launch should be visible, weather permitting, from Washington, DC and elsewhere in mid-Atlantic area. NASA's Wallops Flight Facility (@NASA_Wallops) tweeted this map showing the potential visibility areas.

Chihuly at Kew
Like, wow.
Whenever I'm in London I visit Kew. It's a great spot to dawdle away a day or three any time of the year, but, like, wow. They've got Chihuly glass sculptures there, right now.
The exhibition has been there from May 28, 2005 and will stay there until January 15, 2006.
If you are at all close you must go have a look. There's loads of glass things in the Princess of Wales Greenhouse (the new one, which is enormous on the outside and even bigger inside) and in the Temperate house (a greenhouse off towards the Pagoda). There's also some things floating around in the pond in front of the Palmhouse (the big greenhouse near the Victoria gate entrance).
The glass in the pond is stunning. Here's just one piece, and that outdoors:
Pic: The boat in the pond.
The greenhouse installations are simply extraordinary. You look at a plant, trying to figure out what it is, or even taking a picture of it, and the glass sculpture right next to it is so well done that you don't even notice it. Until you take a closer look at that particular "plant", that is.
There's also things on poles and litter bags, and I expect that I've missed some.

For all its widespread use, UUCP is one of the most difficult UNIX utilities to master. Poor documentation, cryptic messages, and differences between various implementations make setting up UUCP links a nightmare for many a system administrator.This handbook is meant for system administrators who want to install and manage the UUCP and Usenet software. It covers HoneyDanBer UUCP as well as standard Version 2 UUCP, with special notes on Xenix. As one reader noted over the Net, "Don't even TRY to install UUCP without it!"Topics covered in Managing UUCP include:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of Managing UUCP and Usenet is a grizzly bear. The grizzly inhabits the colder regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In North America it is found in Canada and northwestern US. Though not as big as some of the brown bears, a full grown grizzly can weigh up to 700 pounds and is the most aggressive of the bear family. Although they are omnivores, grizzlies will eat meat whenever possible. Also, though heavy, thickset animals with a lumbering gait, grizzlies are capable of moving at 25 mph over short distances. Grizzlies are solitary except during mating or when females are rearing cubs. However, they seem to RcommunicateS using Rbear-trees.S There are certain trees which bears will tear a piece of bark off of whenever they pass. It is not known what this signifies, but the bear tree does serve as some kind of signal. UNIX and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks(R) help you tame them....Edie Freedman designed this cover and the entire UNIX bestiary that appears on other Nutshell Handbooks. The beasts themselves are adapted from 19th-century engravings from the Dover Pictorial Archive.The text of this book is set in Times Roman; headings are Helvetica; examples are Courier. Text was prepared using SoftQuad's sqtroff text formatter. Figures are produced with a Macintosh. Printing is done on an Apple LaserWriter.

Summer School Convenor: Dr. Michael Shats (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Workshop will be followed by the Turbulence Summer School (16-20 January)
The aim of the workshop will be to examine current developments in our understanding of the dynamics and statistical dynamics of turbulence and coherent structures. Theoretical, numerical modelling, observational and experimental studies of turbulence and coherent structures in quasi-two-dimensional geophysical flows, such as oceans and atmospheres, and in plasmas and in three-dimensional flows, such as the turbulent boundary layer, will be presented. It will include studies on the emergence of coherent structures and their interactions with chaotic or turbulent eddies.
The workshop will cover topics ranging from bifurcation and singularity theory, to instability theory and stochastic modelling, through chaos and predictability, turbulence, coherent structures, multiple equilibria and hysteresis, subgrid-scale processes to statistical dynamics and renormalization. It is expected that many of the methodologies presented may also be applicable to other Complex Systems.

Rating: 5/10
When I think of going out to eat tapas I can't help but conjure up images of the cosy little bars you find throughout Spain where, after being welcomed in and taking a seat at the bar and ordering from the snack menu, you're rewarded with small plates of sensationally simple, but phenomenally tasty, treats to go with your drinks.
Auckland has plenty of eateries offering this Spanish style of eating these days and one such place where the food has always impressed me, on the numerous occasions I have dined there, is Dida's Wine Lounge on Jervois Rd.
When they opened another venue in Devonport last December I made a note to pay them a visit but, oh, how the year has flown and it wasn't until recently that I finally made it across the water to meet a friend for a tapas extravaganza. Or so we hoped.
Dida's Devonport is inviting, with its original leadlight windows, dark wood-panelled interior and soft lighting. Old black and white photos of historic Devonport and portraits of the founding Croatian family members, who established the Glengarry Wines business, of which Dida's is a part, in 1940 adorn the walls so there's a comforting, familial atmosphere.
We had arrived at Dida's before it had begun to fill up and there appeared to be a lack of momentum, warmth and enthusiasm from the staff. However, when we did finally manage to get a hold of a menu my spirits lifted reading through the list of tempting tapas. They have a slightly scaled-down version of the Jervois Rd menu. We ordered seven small plates in total - five savoury and two sweet.
Sadly, we got off to a disappointing start with the prawn and coriander fritters. My memory (from Jervois) was of light, fluffy fritters but these were stodgy and had the unpleasant taste of uncooked flour. Next came a dish that had been woefully overcooked - spicy chorizo cooked in merlot and bay leaf. The wine reduction had been cooked out beyond recognition and it had taken on a cloyingly marmite-like whiff and flavour to it that was impossible to ignore. All spice from the chorizo was well gone and they were dry and tough; we left most of them, but no one asked why when they collected the plates. To follow was a plate of calamari that, once salted, was perfectly passable but not spectacular. The lamb on rosemary skewers with Sardinian salsa were divine and the patatas bravas crispy and spicy, once we'd waded through the aioli.
I'm happy to report that the two sweet options were faultless. The Spanish doughnuts - churros - were a dream. Served piping hot and showered in cinnamon-laced sugar and accompanied by ample rich, and rightfully bitter, chocolate sauce for dipping. Our other sweet option was equally fantastic. Soft goat's cheese served with honeycomb, figs and a lavender toast was a perfect marriage of flavour and textures. The lavender, usually a strong ingredient to contend with, lent itself nicely to the tang of the goat's cheese.
Other points in Dida's favour were their extensive wine list and, as I've already mentioned, the ambience, but with the number of dishes that fell flat, when they needn't have, I was confused. Was my memory of the same dishes from the Jervois Rd kitchen, playing tricks on me? Had we visited the Devonport branch before the chef started work for the day?
To check if my eating compass needed recalibrating I paid a visit to Jervois Rd Dida's the next day and ordered the same dishes that had so disappointed in Devonport. Each and every one delighted me; light and perfectly cooked prawn fritters sprang back to the touch and were packed full of juicy prawns, the chorizo were tender and buzzing with spiciness, the merlot sauce still had plenty of life in it.
The service was sprightly and engaged too. So it appears not all Didas are created equal - Devonport could do with paying more attention to the detail to avoid becoming the black sheep of the family.
From the menu: Prawn & coriander fritters $8.50, calamare $8, chorizo in merlot $9, patatas bravas $6, brocheta de cordero (lamb & rosemary skewers) $9, queso de cabra blando (soft goats cheese with honeycomb, fig and lavender toast) $10.50, churros con chocolate $5.50.

Report :: Demba Ba To Join Chelsea On 3 1/2 Year Deal
Written By: dunny|
Jan 3, 2013
via SkySports
Newcastle striker Demba Ba has agreed to join Chelsea on a three-and-a-half-year contract, Sky Sports sources understand.
The Senegal international is undergoing a medical with the European champions after a release clause was triggered in his Newcastle contract once Chelsea offered £7million.
He was left out of the Magpies' squad for their 2-1 home defeat to Everton on Wednesday, with manager Alan Pardew admitting afterwards that he was on his way to Stamford Bridge.
Ba joined Newcastle on a free transfer from West Ham in June 2011 and after impressing last season he has already scored 13 goals this campaign.
"It's done. He will go to Chelsea with our blessing," Pardew told Sky Sports on Wednesday.
More on Demba Ba Heading To Chelsea on 3 1/2 Year Deal after the Jump………
"He has done fantastic for us and it's not a bad thing, all the uncertainty is now done and we can move on.
"The ball was always in Demba's court. But this club is bigger than any player for sure."
Chelsea officials held initial discussions with Ba's representatives earlier this week but had been unable to reach an agreement.
Newcastle released a statement which read: "Newcastle United can confirm Chelsea Football Club has made an official offer for Demba Ba which has triggered the release clause in the player's contract.
"The club has given the player permission to speak to Chelsea FC and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight's game with Everton."

Once all of my info had been entered including Name, Email, and Birthday...there was no answer! When I called in reference to this numerous times...I was told that you can talk to a psychic and gt 5 free minutes...but when I said ok...then they said they had to have a credit card to put on file. When I said I didn't want to give them my credit card info, they told me thanks, have a good day and hung up me. The fact is they are not providing the service that they advertise and now they have personal information about me!!

There is no such thing as a "psychic" - they are all con artists!!! No need to worry about your personal information but take measures to protect it.
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?

text: Hello to all, I am new to the site.. I have a question about my truck. It is a 2000 Silverado Z71 with the 5.3l engine. When I drive a short distance (about a mile or so, to the corner store) park, get my morning drink, then restart my truck and drive away, it has a stall or hesitation. It has a lack of power and does not want to go. After a short time it will suddenly get its power back and drive fine. When warm, it doesnt do this.. Any ideas?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We were approached by our Mortgage giant Indy Mac in July of 2008 with a loan modification. My wife and I currently had this home for sale, but with the loan modification, we chose to pull the home off of the market and sell my wife's home. Since we had 7 children together, this property was larger, and the payment was now affordable, we chose to retain this loan and property with Indy Mac based on the modification agreement that was signed, sent, faxed and documented as received by Indy Mac. In August of 2008, we contacted Indy Mac to see what we should do next and where our formal documents were as they were promised to us after receipt of our sign off.
We were told to make three payments of xxxx amount in order to finalize this new modification arrangment. We did this. We were also told to call again next month and we did this too. After being passed around multiple times and told this was a "new" process, all of the kinks hadn't been worked out yet, I was told the documentation that I had signed and sent, faxed AND federal expressed was never received. We have proof of receipt from the fax as well as the federal express slip. They now stated they were not able to help us as we didn't comply by their deadlines when we had. I had also sent in my three payments (as stated to me was required to finalize this process), so now, if the modification didn't meet timelines, how was this an amount I have paid as I was told?
My wife and I have sent registered, return receipt to The White House, Mr. C. Kent Conine, Mr. Brandon Latman, Attorney General of Texas, Attorney General of Lori Swanson, Mr. Michael Perry, Mr. Richard Wohl, Indy Mac Federal Bank - Austin TX., Indy Mac Federal Bank- Pasadena, CA, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, Habitat for Humanity in Minnesota, and multiple Attorneys. We received responses in letter form from the Attorney General's of both Texas and Minnesota both of which stating the modification rebuttal was illegal and that they would be offering assistance. Both of these State Attorney's sent two letters, receiving NO response even when insisting a response was required within 10 days.
This process has been slow and agonizing and now the threat of a Sheriff Sale looms in our presence. Indy Mac has been sold to OneWest bank and we've been told "they (OneWest) do not participate in loan modifications". How can this be? We have signed documentation from IndyMac, is it not illegal to change the rules simply because of a corporate buyout?
We strongly suggest to the people in America in the same situation, to STAY STRONG - DO NOT CAVE to these antics or succomb to their rules. We have all the right to stay in our homes as we have abided by all of their changing rules along the way.

Brandon Cumpton Promoted to Bradenton
Cumpton has been promoted to Bradenton.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted right handed pitcher Brandon Cumpton to high-A Bradenton from West Virginia, according to a West Virginia press release. Cumpton was a ninth round draft pick last year out of Georgia Tech, and had a 4.30 ERA in 67 innings with West Virginia, along with a 48:18 K/BB ratio.
The numbers are inflated by his first three starts. Cumpton allowed 21 earned runs in his first three outings of the season. He was removed from the rotation, and after a successful bullpen appearance, and a Tyler Waldron injury, Cumpton was returned to the rotation. Since his first three outings, Cumpton has put up an amazing 1.76 ERA in 56.1 innings, with a 42:12 K/BB ratio.
The Pirates were hoping that Cumpton and Waldron could an...

"Bump" in the night...
I live in a rural setting, we have pretty regular bumps and other suspicious noises. Add a few kids into the mix and it is a rare night that I get all the way through without some interruption. Being the guy that I suspect many of us are I can't go back to sleep until my mind is at ease and HAVE to go investigate just to make sure.
So my question is this: When you get up to investigate a "bump" do you take your home defense weapon or not? I tend to not and come back to my bedroom to retrieve my weapon if need be. Thankfully only had to once (BIG bear on the front porch). With kids I tend to not want to be running around the house hopped up on adrenaline with a loaded firearm. I do train often, maintain trigger/barrel discipline, and would always be sure of what is beyond my target or on the other side of the wall behind him. What do you all think?
Edit: One important note I left out is our German Shepherd who is on patrol. Having her gives me a lot of peace of mind being out without my weapon.

I also have motion sensor lights around my perimeter.
If either one of those has gone off I grab my sidearm/shotgun; if they have not, generally I don't carry it. This means they are probable fifteen to twenty feet away from the perimeter of my house, so far enough away for me to retreat if I have to .
Bumps in the night rarely wake me up or alarm me, but they indirectly result in me being awakened and investigating ... which I suspect is a common situation.
One time, I was sure I heard a break-in. I took the shotgun. But it turned out to be nothing. Maybe trees against a window, not sure.
Most of the time, I carry my little revolver "just in case." If it turns out somebody was just up getting a snack or something like that, they don't know I had a weapon at all.

I didn't, now I do.
There was a member on this board who was violently assaulted in her own home. She kept a pistol in her purse, which was across the room when the bad guys kicked the door in. She was able to get to it after a while, but she vowed to keep her pistol on her person at all times from that point forward. Her brother was beat quite badly, if I recall correctly.
Your weapon, if it is out of your grasp, does you no good. You don't have to draw it, you don't have to point it, but you should have it on you.
My 2 cents.
|The Following 25 Users Say Thank You to TRM For This Useful Post:
while I am older and now an empty nester, we frequently have grandkids and other family over for visits so I still keep my mindset accordingly.
But I hear ya and cudos on training, good discipline, etc.
Over the years it was my wife who was more likely to hear the bumps and be awake at night..if she thought it was serious I'd get the elbow.
to help keep from having heart failure from too many nightly elbows I installed a good security system that include motion floods all around the house and cameras both in and outdoors...the outdoor units include a couple of PTZ...all this is controllable from a mouse and large monitor that is on her nightstand..if she hears a bump she can just roll over, look at all the cameras, even pan around to check out other areas...if there is something outside moving, then it has also activated the motion floodlights so she knows what to look for first.
the house itself has an alarm system and our bedrooms are upstairs so an alarm means entry downstairs gives us a couple extra seconds...
I also have a hardened bedroom door that is locked when we go to bed.
bad guys can take whatever they want downstairs while the alarms blairs. there's nothing down there worth risking my life, or even taking their lives over. what they can't do is come up my stair case...that lets me know they are intending bad...at that point, we are already well awake from the bump, the alarm noise, the dogs, and verification on video...all I need to do is wait behind my hardended door with shotgun in hand (wife hunkered down on far side of bed with her 9mm and monitoring the cameras and on the phone with the security company (we just did this at 4am about 3 months ago)
either the crooks scram, or the cops arrive or they try to break down my door..any of the above is an acceptable answer that I am prepared for.
to your OP, I make sure I am well awake if I decide to search the house...which I would only do when grand kids are over...and that would only be upstairs to confirm they are in bed/bathroom...and we would already know if it's a bump or a threat before I grab a gun.
and yes, we living the in the country and over the past 10 years, we've had several breakins on our street, in our trucks, neighbors, in our garage and the most recent was a failed alarm fob that set off the system at 4am...and poppa was up on his feet with 12ga in hand pretty darn quick...as in, they wouldn't have been able to climb my stairs before I was up and racked.

My situation is virtually identical to yours.
I generally investigate unarmed. We have two dogs as well and I hope that if what I'm investigating is more than just a bump or one of the kids, the dogs will be doing more than snoring.
My wife did scold me once for not taking my shotgun to answer the door at 3:00 AM one morning. Our teenage son was out spending the night at a friends house, did something stupid and hurt himself, and the mom had dropped him off in our driveway because she didn't want to deal with it.
Where we are, I am just more concerned I guess with "accidents" happening during a false alarm. As I said, I also utilize the dogs as an alarm though.
When I investigate, I don't turn on lights and I do the peek around the corner thing at all the doorways though.
I've scared my son lots of times in the middle of the night when I've intercepted him in the dark as he came into our hall heading for the pantry at 2:00AM. His bedroom door wakes me up from the other end of the house and then I meet him as I'm peeking into the kitchen around the hall corner and he's headed for food. Who eats at 2 AM? First couple of times he scared me too popping around the corner as I got there. If I'd had the shotgun, he'd likely got butt-stroked or whacked in the head with the barrel.

Always have it with you. As you mentioned, trigger/emotion control is a must.
Time Out
Just up twice last night. Weapon and light in my hand as I investigate. Step one, confirm the location of all my loved ones. Step two, make sure my son who has moved out is not making a surprise visit. Step three, follow up on the noise.
Bad people are not going to wait for you to go back and get your weapon.

We have a dog and motion sensor lights. We don't have an alarm system and I really don't want one. I know the dog's bark. She has different barks for various situations. I can tell when she is barking at an armadillo or other critter she simply feels needs to know that this is her yard and they are not allowed. She has another bark for something she feels is threatening and she has been conditioned to bark at that, then come into the house via doggy door and come to us and wake us up. So far, no false alarms. It's been everything from people walking at night to coyotes in the yard but each time, she has correctly figured out that this was something she needed to inform us on. I don't know what we'd do without her. I don't want to think about the day she is too old to be the alpha and we have to start over with training another dog. As far as weapons, the hubby takes his side arm and I take a long gun to investigate. Weapons are strategically positioned all over the house. No room except the bathrooms are free of weapons somewhere. Not in plain view, mind you, but there.
We are about to be grandparents so I guess for the first few years, until the wee one is big enough to learn about weapon safety, we'll have to re-evaluate our blueprint...but, not by much. I was reared with guns in every room and so were my children. So, the grandkids will also know that Memaw and Pepaw's house has guns, loaded and ready, at all times.

Be careful of the grandkids' friends when visiting. Had a friend one time go with me to visit my grandparents. He left the bathroom the wrong way through my grandparents' bedroom even though he had been told that room was off limits and came out with the "cool pistol that looked real" that hung on grandpa's bedpost. Boy was that exciting for about a second and a half. He was about 11 years old and grew up in the country too, you'd think he would have known better, but...
You just never know what might happen when you have company over.
I have to get up and investigate noises a few times each night. For me it is not the worry of an intruder it is the worry of one of the horses running loose or the hogs running loose or the goats and sheep being attacked etc.
I seldom grab a weapon unless I know there is a predator close, last night was pretty bad with the full moon, the hogs never went to sleep and made loud noises most of the night. Which made the dogs bark all night, which made the horses a bit antsy etc etc etc. People are the least of my concern at night time, I can walk right up next to them at night and they have no idea I am even there.... lol that has led to some funny incidents.
I have been doing this for twenty years though, I am used to it and actually quite enjoy my night time walks. Probably a bit easier for me though, I sleep fully clothed and ready to go, having to put on clothing and boots takes to long. My wife on the other hand gets a bit tired of being woke up all night long by my getting up and going outside.
I always carry a weapon when I go out. I'm in a very rural mountainous setting and theres very little chance of an intruder, but do none-the-less. Alto, we do have bear, coyotes, wild pigs, etc all around me.
Just 2 weeks ago, I had 2 dogs bitten by a posionous snake. $1200 later, their both fine now. A week later(1 week ago) one of those same dogs was bitten right in front of me AGAIN! ..and only 5 yards from the house as I as pulling weeds from the garden. There laid a small Copperhead a yard away. So I went and got the 22/45 and luckily found it and killed it. Well, THAT night at 1:30am, I hear the other 3 dogs(because the one bit that day was at the vet for the night) going crazy in the driveway. I get up and go out with an SR1911 (loaded with Golden Saber 185gr +Ps) in my undies and sandels only. There lies another larger Copperhead 1 yard in front of our main steps into the house. I instantly aimed and shot, because otherwise, I was going to have a couple more dogs bit.
The 2 mentioned copperheads. 2 in 10 hours not 5 yards from the house.
22/45 slaying lol
And the 1911 slaying. Note hole in the ground where his head was. funny thing was, the wife slept thru it all. My ears rang for 2 days afterward.

I spent too many years cleaning up and investigating break ins, home invasions and checking out things that go bump in the night to ever, ever do so without a firearm.
Too many times I have been awoken by someone wondering where their car, brother or stash had been taken. And having more than one person who still resents what I used to do, I tend to be rather cautious.

I always carry a big bore handgun at least with me when I go bump hunting in the night. That way I can put it in a holster or in the waistband if I want to do so.

could we please stop calling it a weapon? It just shows us in a bad light. It also is not good to tell the cops when they show up after you need to use your "Weapon"
Yes officer I heard a noise then I saw him and killed him with my "Weapon"
Yes officer I heard a noise then I saw him and Shot him with my shotgun, pistol, rifle.
Trust me it is all in the words you use THAT ARE USED AGAINST YOU.
Just say, I feared for my life or the lives of my loved ones and I stopped the threat. Then say "I don't wish to say anything more until I have a lawyer present." Just a word to the wise. For other great tips go to the USCCA website.
I also suggest becoming a member as I know I don't have $200K to spend if I have to shoot someone. It is like car insurance, you get it because you might have an accident not because you are going out to have one, you get USCCA insurance because you already awknowledge you may have to shoot someone (or else why have the weapon for home defense?) so having insurance to keep your defense costs from bankrupting you just makes sense.

A batch of experienced players had been warned beforehand they were taking a risk by opting for a break from playing for the New Zealand women's hockey side, and that has been brought into sharp relief after the Black Sticks' impressive showing in Argentina last week.
Argentina won the fifth and final test 1-0 to take the series 2-1 - there were two draws - but a young and inexperienced New Zealand side showed they were the equal of a full-strength Argentina who won silver at last Olympic Games. The Black Sticks, who are ranked third in the world after narrowly missing out on a medal in London, had also never beaten Argentina in South America let alone win a series.
In the end, they probably could and should have won the final match and, with it, the series after dominating for long periods on Saturday but couldn't find a way through resolute Argentina goalkeeper Florencia Mutio. The Black Sticks had 11 shots to Argentina's four and Katie Glynn hit the crossbar in the first half.
A handful of experienced players including captain Kayla Sharland, Krystal Forgesson, Emily Naylor and goalkeeper Bianca Russell opted for a break after the London Olympics but Forgesson, Naylor and Russell all returned for the Argentina series.
Sharland and Charlotte Harrison, who played against India but made herself unavailable for Argentina to travel and play in Belgium, come back into consideration for next month's two four nations tournament against Argentina (ranked No 2), Korea (8) and the US (10) in Whangarei, Hamilton and Tauranga but coach Mark Hager said the current squad had the inside running.
One possible solution to ensure all players get a chance is for Hager to name different squads for the two four nations tournaments, in the same way he approached the four nations tournament last year.
"It was a risk for some players to take a break," Hager said. "You always have to be careful as a player. There are times you need a break but there are also times when you take that break and a young kid comes in and performs really well.
"We will review this series when we go back and name our group for the four nations in the next couple of weeks. We have a couple of senior players who weren't here but will be available for selection but the kids who played Argentina will hold a bit of an advantage when it comes to selection because they performed really well against the [Olympic] silver medallists."
A number of those were players who had less than 20 international caps, including Pippa Hayward, Rose Keddell, Cassandra Reid and Bridget Blackwood as well as 19-year-old midfielder Julia King, who narrowly missed out on the Olympic squad.
The average age of the side is 22 and Hager is trying to implement a different game plan based more on pressing higher and taking on defenders one-on-one and an accent on mobile and athletic players.
"We have always wanted to play an attacking style of hockey and believe a lot of the young ones we have picked have the athleticism and ability to play the game we want to play now," Hager said. "If we can progress that and keep it going, I think it will help in the future.
"But it's consistency. We don't want to be one-hit wonders if we can help it and want to play well in the four nations. That's the unanswered question at the moment."

BeschreibungSince the first subway opened in 1904, the New York subway system and its trains have provided millions of New Yorkers with cheap, fast, and remarkably reliable transportation. The New York subway system lacks the electronic complexity of such modern operations as the Washington Metro or San Francisco's BART, and New Yorkers have few qualms in admitting that theirs is not the world's most beautiful subway. But as it is in no other city on earth, the subway of New York is intimately woven into the fabric and identity of the city itself. Tracing the system from the first short IRT loop to the extensive net work of today, with information about such fascinating sidelights as the city's tram systems and the PATH trains linking New York and New Jersey, Cudahy has produced a complete, thoroughly researched and annotated, and fully illustrated history that will delight subway buffs, students of urban affairs, and all those who love the city of New York.
PortraitBRIAN J. CUDAHY's books include Around Manhattan Island: And Other Maritime Tales ofNew York and A Century of Subways: Celebrating 100 Years of New York's Underground Railways (both Fordham). He lives in Bluffton, SC.
