Recently, I wrote an article in which I provide strategies for buying a stock. In it I stress that investors can significantly augment their gains if they take advantage of market volatility and irrationality. While I discuss selling in that article, I do so for a very specific condition — I say that if you buy a stock and it reaches your target price, then you should sell it.
In this article I will talk a little bit more about selling a stock. Selling a stock is difficult psychologically because we look at a stock's movements since we bought it as a reflection of our ability to trade and to select fundamentally undervalued securities. If a stock we buy is down, then we don't want to face the possibility that we were wrong, and so we find it very difficult to sell. If, on the other hand, the stock is higher, this is positive feedback from the market, and the fact that we were right vindicates us so we feel that selling is a mistake. In short, because we have a gain or a loss associated with a position, we have an existentially driven bias that distracts us from the fundamental value of the stock in question.
If a stock you own has fallen in value, you have to accept one of two things: either your fundamental analysis was wrong, or your timing was wrong. In the latter case, you need to cut your losses and move on to something else. Of course, this is easier said than done. The reason for this is that it often isn't immediately apparent that your fundamental analysis is wrong unless you are a short-term trader betting on a particular catalyst with a straightforward either/or outcome, such as an earnings report or the results of an FDA study. But if you took a long-term position, it might not be so apparent that your analysis was incorrect.

366 days before the 2014 Gubernatorial election, Democratic candidate Mike Michaud used an OpEd piece on his website and in Maine's two largest newspapers to announce he is gay.
The six term Congressman wrote he made the decision to come out because of whisper campaigns, and insinuations.
"Twenty or thirty years ago this would have had huge," said Husson University history professor David Haus "I mean, this could have ended someone's campaign before it even started."
With the announcement the 58 year old became the seventh member of the US House to come out as openly gay or bisexual, and he says it doesn't change who he is, quote – "When I entered the race for governor, I did so because I love the state of Maine and am tired of seeing it dragged in the wrong direction. There was never any question that it would be a tough race, but I know I have the vision, the experience and the commitment to lead Maine forward.
Once I jumped to an early lead in the polls, I knew it was only a matter of time before individuals and organizations intent on recreating the uncertainty that led to our current governor's election three years ago would start their attacks. Already my opponents have tried to blatantly distort my support for a woman's right to choose and my tireless commitment to our nation's veterans."
In is expected to be a hotly contested race for the Blaine House between Michaud, Governor Paul LePage, and Independent Eliot Cutler. It is unknown what impact this announcement will have on the race or how the campaigns are run.
"Will people take a statement saying 'This candidate is gay' as something that's negative?" asked Haus? "Ultimately in order for a negative campaign to work, people one have to believe it and be afraid of it in order to buy into it, the question is I don't, are there enough Mainers to believe that?"
"We've seen I think in Maine and not just in 2012, but over the course of many campaigns around LGBT rights that we can have these conversations respectfully and thoughtfully in a way that moves the dialogue in the state forward," said Ian Grady a spokesperson for Equality Maine.
In his statement, the Congressman addressed some of the whispers floating around the campaign quote, "They want people to question whether I am gay. Allow me to save them the trouble with a simple, honest answer: "Yes I am. But why should it matter?" That may seem like a big announcement to some people. For me, it's just a part of who I am, as much as being a third-generation mill worker or a lifelong Mainer. One thing I do know is that it has nothing to do with my ability to lead the state of Maine."
Husson professor David Haus believes this topic will die away and the issues will again be in the forefront of the Gubernatorial race. "Ultimately the main issues that Mainers are going to use on this ballot and decide the election will be jobs, employment and the future of Maine. I don't think that the people who might vote against Mike Michaud based on whether or not he's gay, they weren't going to vote for him anyway."

Again, in LA you can find all kind of towns, Korea town, China town, Japan town and the Mexicans are everywhere! What I was not aware was that there is such a big Armenian community in LA, a lot of which resides in Glendale (where I was staying).
Despite not having the feel of a big metropolis like NYC, LA still has plenty of things to do and go to see. And I am not talking about taking the "Celebrities houses" tours which take you to see the houses of celebrities and you just end up seen the garbage bin of Leonardo Di Caprio because of course his house is surrounded by a tall wall!
There are beautiful beaches, nice restaurants with nice food, well worth visiting museums, the movie production parks (all of them are situated together in LA) and of course hollywood.
I really had a great time in LA and despite the fact that this had to do with seeing again after a long time a very good friend of mine and being hosted by his family, LA is a very nice and friendly city.
It is a city where you can live permanently.
Of course the highlight for me was getting to see my good friend Rafi after so many many years! Thank you for showing me such a great time in LA. I am also very grateful to the Balian family who took me in their home for 2 weeks and treated me like one of their own! I can not thank you enough!

Perhaps the greatest benefit is the confidence they build through using the program, thanks to the fact they will look and feel smarter than ever before. With Brainetics focused on the childs more pliant mind, it is possible for your child to be more successful with it since it does offer a fun and effective approach to learning. Will the Program Work for a Child with a Learning Disability? Different children learn at different paces. When a child has a learning disability, it can be a struggle to find a program that will work for them. The Brainetics program is designed for children to go at a pace that is comfortable for them. Most parents with gifted children and those with learning disabilities have found that the program has given their child the ability to improve their math scores.

Showtime Generates Buzz with New Seasons of Shows
"Weeds" is set to premiere on Showtime Monday August 13th at 10pm (featuring our favorite billionaire twin Mary-Kate Olsen) and to celebrate the upcoming third season of the show, Showtime had its stars hit the red carpet at the Arclight in Hollywood, where the first episode of the new season was shown last night. Just to jog your memory, Mary-Kate Olsen took on the role of the love interest for the son of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), Silas (Hunter Parrish) as a devoutly Christian girl who recently moved to the "Weeds" community of Majestic. I love me some "Weeds" and Mary-Louise Parker, with her perfect skin and dark hair and eyes and an iced coffee perpetually in one hand. She's one of the reasons I avoid the sun like the plague, in the hopes that I can age remotely like her. Showtime Networks president of entertainment since 2003, Bob Greenblatt, attributes Showtime's growing success to a dedication to quality programming.
"I never underestimate the strength of HBO and their ability to put on great programming, but I think we're in a great position that we've never been in before," he said. "Nobody's going to be ignoring us for the next five years."
Lucky for me, Netflix makes HBO and Showtime all equal in my eyes.
Many more photos from the "Weeds" and "Californication" premieres after the jump.

Tower To Truth Question:
16. If the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth, as Joseph Smith said, why does it contain over 4000 changes from the original 1830 edition?
Christians should be careful with such attacks. If they don't want to have a double standard, they'd have to realize that there are more differences in Biblical manuscripts of the New Testament than there are words in the New Testament! Yet, Latter-day Saints and other Christians still believe the Bible.
Most of the changes to the Book of Mormon were issues of spelling, typos, and the like. A few changes were for clarification, but the original Book of Mormon text would easily serve members and scholars.
To learn more:: Book of Mormon textual changes
My Response:
The LDS claim that the "changes" to the Bible have corrupted it, all the while claiming that the changes to the BOM were for "clarity." As the Geico Caveman™ would say…
"Yeah, I'd like to answer that. Uh…what?"
What is the official Mormon stance on the accuracy of the Bible?
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
Where do they get this idea from? The Book of Mormon:
1st Nephi 13:26–And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.
So, basically, they will swallow–hook, line, and sinker–the Book of Mormon, with all of its 4000 changes, which are thouroughly documented. Yet ask them where these supposed "plain and precious truths" were taken out of the Bible–ask them to show you where it was not "correctly translated," and they will give you a blank stare and offer some vague blurb about the "restoration of the gospel."
So, what are some of these changes to the "most correct book of any on earth?" Well, according to the link provided by FAIR,
If one counts every difference in every punctuation mark in every edition of the Book of Mormon, the result is well over 100,000 changes. The critical issue is not the number of changes that have been made to the text, but the nature of the changes.
Most changes are insignificant modifications to spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and are mainly due to the human failings of editors and publishers. For example, the word meet — meaning "appropriate" — as it appears in 1_Ne. 7:1, was spelled "mete" in the first edition of the Book of Mormon, published in 1830. (This is a common error made by scribes of dictated texts.) "Mete" means to distribute, but the context here is obvious, and so the spelling was corrected in later editions.
Some of these typographical errors do affect the meaning of a passage or present a new understanding of it, but not in a way that presents a challenge to the divinity of the Book of Mormon. One example is 1_Ne. 12:18, which in all printed editions reads "a great and a terrible gulf divideth them; yea, even the word of the justice of the Eternal God," while the manuscript reads "the sword of the justice of the Eternal God." In this instance, the typesetter accidentally dropped the s at the beginning of sword.
In other words, God didn't brush up on His grammar and spelling before He allowed Joseph Smith's scribe to write down, word for word, what God "dictated" to Joseph Smith. But you have to remember how the Book of Mormon was "translated." Joseph did not sit down with the plates and translate directly from the "golden plates." Smith buried his head in a hat, along with a "peep stone", and every word appeared before his eyes. Smith then told his scribe (whether Oliver Cowdery or Martin Harris) what to write down. The word would stay there until it was written properly, and a new word would not appear until the present word was written properly.
So, let's look at some of these near-4000 changes, from the fine folks at the Institute for Religious Research. One thing to remember is the 1830 BOM was not divided into chapters and verses.
1 Nephi 3, p. 25 — And he said unto me, Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh
1 Nephi 11:18 — And he said unto me, Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God.
1 Nephi 3, p. 25 — And the angel said unto me, behold the Lamb of God, even the Eternal Father!
1 Nephi 11:21 — And the angel said unto me, behold the Lamb of God, even the Son of the Eternal Father!
At FAIR's link, it says,
Changes that would affect the authenticity of the Book of Mormon are limited to:
those that are substantive AND
could possibly change the doctrine of the book OR
could be used as evidence that the book was written by Joseph Smith.
As far as "changing doctrine," that's exactly what the above changes do. Those changes that "could be used as evidence that the book was written by Joseph Smith" could be, oh, I don't know, maybe, grammar, syntax, punctuation. You know. Those things that Joseph Smith had no clue about. Well, apparently, God forgot to brush up on His grammar before He set about giving Joseph the BOM (from IRR):
Improper use of "was" in 1830 edition later changed to "were":
"… Adam and Eve, which was our first parents …" [p. 15]
"… the bands which was upon my wrists …" [p. 49]
"… the priests was not to depend …" [p. 193]
"… they was angry with me …" [p. 248]
"… there was no wild beasts …" [p. 460]
Improper use of "is" in the 1830 edition later changed to "are":
"… the words which is expedient …" [p. 67]
"… But great is the promises of the Lord …" [p. 85]
"… And whoredoms is an abomination …" [p. 127]
"… here is our weapons of war …" [p. 346]
Improper use of "a" in the 1830 edition later deleted from text:
"… As I was a journeying …" [p. 249]
"… he found Muloki a preaching …" [p. 284]
"… had been a preparing the minds …" [p. 358]
"… Moroni was a coming against them [p. 403]
Are we to believe that God would tell Joseph to write that Moroni is "a-coming"? Or that Muloki was "a-preaching"? What, do they think God couldn't make it through grammar school? The point is this: The LDS system claims that the Bible has been corrupted because
"Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 327). And LDS Apostle Mark E. Peterson said, "Many insertions were made, some of them 'slanted' for selfish purposes, while at times deliberate falsifications and fabrications were perpetrated" (As Translated Correctly, p. 4).
Yet they will cling tenaciously to this Book of Mormon that was supposedly spoken by a "God" who couldn't even speak basic English.
The changes to the BOM are explained away by the mormon PR machine. Yet they will not accept the authenticity of the bible because of the supposed "careless transcribers, etc." Well, as Joseph Smith might say, "That ain't-a sowndin two rite too me"

M. Darlene Jaeger
March 28, 1922 - June 17, 2014
Marian Darlene Jaeger, 92, of Condon, died Tuesday, June 17, 2014 in her home. A graveside service was held June 23 at the Condon Cemetery at the United Church of Christ fellowship hall.
She was born in Dixon City, Ill. March 28, 1922, the daughter of Ralph and Verna Dockery Witmer. Darlene was raised and attended schools in Rockford, Ill.
Darlene enjoyed life for many years as a wife and mother on the wheat and cattle ranch in the southwest corner of Gilliam County called the Buckhorn Place. It was located about 20 miles southwest of Condon.
She worked for a time with the United States Postal Service and also was owner and operator of a Hallmark store in Woodburn. She was an active member of the Lutheran Church in Condon and Immanuel Lutheran in Woodburn.
Darlene also belonged to the Eastern Star, the Lady Elks, and the Daughters of the Nile, and for many years while on the ranch, she belonged to the Oregon Hereford Association. She also worked with the Rainbow Girls.

Hello - i stayed for both business and pleasure, starting the trip with a meeting with a colleague, and then the weekend my girlfriend joined me for a leisure weekend in Barcelona.
The hotels location is great, and what attracted me to the hotel, however i was very surprised to see this was a 4* hotel. There is no iron available in the rooms and they have not been updated for many years. The terrace in our room overlooked an ugly apartment block and the general decor throughout was certainly out of date. The pool was sold as a rooftop pool, which is also not the case and in the shade most of the day. I was very disappointing with the hotel.
Thanks, Mark

California poppy, (Eschscholzia californica), annual garden plant of the poppy family (Papaveraceae) native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It has become naturalized in parts of southern Europe, Asia, and Australia. The flowers, borne on stems 20 to 30 centimetres (8 to 12 inches) long, are usually pale yellow, orange, or cream in the wild, but in cultivation whites and various shades of red and pink have been developed. The foliage is gray-green and feathery. The four-petaled, five- to seven-centimetre flowers open only in sunlight and are ephemeral. Depending on conditions, California poppies flower from February to September. Horticultural varieties include tall, dwarf, double, single, and various colours.

In Part I of this series, we related the cultural divide that exists when a woman from the U.S. innocently announces her pregnancy to a male friend from another culture. The man takes the "good news" as an accusation, and is ready to defend himself to the fullest including in court. Part II explained the cultural rationale and legal fears that may lead an outsider to take reactive actions, including court procedures, to the innocent announcements of a pregnancy.
The one thing that is ubiquitous in all cultures is that most pregnancies start the same way and end with the same product, a child. But nothing can vary more in its interpretations and process than pregnancy. Across cultures, pregnancies are surrounded by all types of superstitions. We do not have the room and the time to bring up here all the beliefs various societies have developed around pregnancies. These traditions vary greatly from what the expecting mother should or should not eat; what color clothes she should not wear; what she must not see, how she must lay in bed, who she must not talk to, people she should not meet, and the lists of dos and don'ts during pregnancy go on and on.
In most South Saharan Africa , discussing pregnancies is considered taboo, especially when it comes to one's own pregnancy. As we discussed in part I, women don't move around sharing their state of gestation with others and brag about being pregnant, except with the very people who have direct take on the pregnancy.
Pregnancy and child delivery are the most intimate things in the life of any woman. This is a huge responsibility on the shoulders of women. In this culture, it is believed that the woman is so close to God that she is the one "thing" it pleased God to pick, out of many other options available to Him, to bring humans to life. Women are extremely valuable in the sight of society. Not only do they bear life, but they nurse, they nurture, they cherish, they give warmth. In short they care for the entire human life since all human life passes through their own bodies.
Pregnancy leads to the coming of the most precious thing nature has to offer humans, the baby. Out of respect for the woman and the baby, these cultures believe that pregnancies are not anything to joke around about. It deserves tranquility from the universe, the pleasure of the ancestors, and the good moral standing of the parents. For that matter, the parents must observe strict discipline, during the period when the mother is expecting; and they must be in good moral standing if the birth is to take place smoothly.
Most of the beliefs and traditions surrounding pregnancy have to do with the safety of the expecting mother and the child she carries. The delivery of a child is regarded as a complicated, dangerous and life threatening process that should be kept as secret as possible to protect the child and the mother from bad spirits. That is why, even when known, the due date is never shared with anyone, not even with some close family members. One more reason not to throw baby showers!
To preserve the life of a baby, many taboos and rituals surround the whole period from conception to the birth of the new baby. An African states, "If conception is an occasion of joy, a good, uncomplicated birth of a healthy child is lifelong happiness."

LOS ANGELES, January 30 (Compass Direct News) – A prominent foreign pastor in Saudi Arabia has fled Riyadh after a member of the mutawwa'in, or religious police, and others threatened him three times in one week. Two of the incidents included threats to kill house church pastor Yemane Gebriel of Eritrea. On Wednesday (Jan. 28), Gebriel escaped to an undisclosed city in Saudi Arabia. A father of eight who has lived and worked as a private driver in Saudi Arabia for 25 years, Gebriel told Compass that on Jan. 10 he found an unsigned note on his vehicle threatening to kill him if he did not leave the country. On Jan. 13, he said, mutawwa'in member Abdul Aziz and others forced him from his van and told him to leave the country. "There was a note on my van saying, 'If you do not leave the country, we will kill you," Gebriel told Compass by telephone. "Three days after that, [Azi

Amazon Pushes for Online Sales Tax Standards, Smaller E-Tailers Push Back

Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president of global policy
(Source: indiatimes.com)
Smaller online retailers believe Amazon is using sales tax standards to crush smaller competitors
Amazon asked Congress to set federal standards for states' online sales tax collection in a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this week.
Amazon spent a lot of time battling the collection of online sales taxes over the past couple of years. If forced to collect sales tax in a particular state, Amazon would simply pack its bags and move on to another state. This happened in states such as
Amazon got away with avoiding sales tax collection because of a 1992 Supreme Court ruling that excuses Amazon and other remote sellers from having to collect taxes in states that do not have the company's employees or warehouses operating within their borders. However, Amazon said it would comply with sales tax collection of online goods if there was federal regulation instead of different states with different rules.
Now, Amazon is pushing Congress to set standards more than ever. Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president for global public policy, attended a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday to address the issue of federal standards for collecting state sales taxes online.
Some lawmakers are onboard with Amazon's request, such as Representative John Conyers (D-MI), who sides with brick-and-mortar retailers regarding online retailers' "unfair advantage."
John Otto, an accountant and state representative from Texas, is also onboard with the idea and addressed the concerns of Republican panel members regarding whether the sales tax collection would be viewed as a tax increase.
"This is not a new tax we're collecting," said Otto. "It's a tax we've been unable to collect."
Not everyone is cheering for
Amazon's position on taxes
, though. Smaller online retailers like Overstock.com believe Amazon is jumping onboard the tax wagon now because it's a chance to hurt smaller competitors. Amazon is so huge now that it can handle being taxed while smaller e-tailers like Overstock could largely be affected by such taxes.
But Misener doesn't see it that way. He said the sales tax collection wouldn't be as burdensome as the smaller e-tailer's think.
"With today's computing and communications technology, widespread collection no longer would be an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce, and Congress feasibly can authorize the states to require all but the very smallest volume sellers to collect," said Misener.
The Consumerist
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Hogben Pottery and Sculpture
Jane Hogben has been making decorative terracotta pieces for the home and garden since she left the Central School of Art and Design in 1982.
Her work can be seen in the more exclusive stores and specialist shops in Britain and overseas.
All her work is hand made at the pottery in converted farm buildings deep in the Buckinghamshire countryside so each piece is individual and unique. She employs a select team of skilled craftspeople who use traditional, time honoured methods.
There are two elements which combine to give Jane's work its distinctive look - the designs and the soft, warm colour of the terracotta which is mixed to a special recipe. The soft pink has made this terracotta popular with flower arrangers and plantspeople as it is the perfect complement to flowers and planting schemes.
Jane Hogben terracotta is high fired and, consequently frost resistant. See "terracotta tips" for notes on how to get the best from your terracotta.
We also specialise in hand made commissions for corporate gifts, special occasions and commemorative items. Please ask for details.
Jane Hogben runs a series of one day decorative terracotta workshops where beginners can make and decorate their own window boxes and flower pots.
Ann Hogben studied Art and Sculpture at Homerton College, Cambridge and has been involved in painting and sculpture for many years in various media. She has latterly concentrated on working with clay.
Ann is particularly interested in making figurative sculptures, especially children, and enjoys capturing the individual character of each subject.
After completion, each piece of work (except the terracotta gardener) is fired and cast in bronze resin which is suitable for displaying outside or inside. The sculptures are then patinated in a brown bronze finish.

Rebecca Orozco will present "La Frontera: A History of the Borderlands in Cochise County."
Our region has long been the focus of competing cultures: Native American, Spanish, Mexican and United States. Today's border is just the latest in a series of boundaries that have divided the peoples who claimed the resources of the region. The history of the dividing line is one of conflict and violence, the legacy of which still affects us today. This talk will look at the peoples who have occupied our borderlands through history and their creation of boundaries: cultural, linguistic and physical. Starting with prehistoric cultures whose remains give evidence of cultural borders, through the Europeans who sought to conquer the region for its rumored riches and many souls, to the harbingers of Manifest Destiny looking for land to live out an American dream, we will look at their relationship with land and to each other.

After being handed yet another deadline by BC's Transportation minister in the Translink funding referendum saga, Metro mayors have fired back.
In a letter mayors demand Todd Stone clarify exactly which funding sources meet his government's "virtually impossible" standard.
That standard? The funding source can't impact families, the economy, or provincial revenues.
Mayors call the standard "puzzling" noting any new funding source would not meet the government's own standard.
The mayors also reject delaying capital projects to expand transit in Surrey and Vancouver saying doing nothing will definitely impact families, the economy, and provincial revenues.
Mayors accuse the province of abrogating its responsibilities in regional transit and transportation with the referendum idea.
The letter demands legislative changes to give mayors control of Translink's operating budget.
They also want a two part referendum question on a ballot to go before voters in March of 2015.
The question would ask if voters would support, or not, the 10 year transit vision and then one or more specific funding sources.
Mayors want to hear the Transportation minister's response by July 29th.
Earlier this week Todd Stone said the mayors transit vision he mandated they complete was unacceptable due to the request to use carbon tax revenue to fund transit.
Stone then gave the mayors until July 15th to select a date for the Translink funding referendum.
As for a response from Transportation minister Todd Stone his office sent this out moments ago.
· The minister and Mayor Walton have been speaking regularly.
· The Mayors' Council has suggested March 2015 as a preferred timeframe for the referendum.
· Government will work with the Mayors' Council to finalize the date by July 15.

No chance at Noma? 6 of Copenhagen's other great restaurants
Sorry, the recent food poisoning scare won't be enough to free up Noma's crowded waiting list.
While 63 people reportedly fell ill after eating at the Copenhagen-based, two Michelin-starred joint, its reservations page remains a barely disguised apology for probably being too popular to accommodate you.
Voted the best place to eat in the world for three years running by the famed S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants, as well as scoring numerous other awards, Noma has become a byword for bizarre dishes and left-field Nordic cuisine.
Though it remains one impressive dining adventure, Noma's success is not confined to within its own doors. It has helped create a vibrant food scene in Copenhagen, from fancy formal haunts to chilled breakfast hangouts.
"Thirty years ago, restaurants in Copenhagen were either cheap and bad -- or French and expensive," says Trine Lai, a Copenhagen food blogger who covers the scene on verygoodfood.dk.
"Denmark has been through an economic upturn and that has helped Copenhagen turn into one of the world's hot spots of gastronomy. This is the golden age for Danish and Scandinavian cuisine."
Here are six recommendations:
Kødbyens Fiskebar
Run by ex-Noma sommelier Anders Selmer, this hip joint is part of Copenhagen's regenerated meat-packing district.
The area looks like a 1960s shopping precinct somewhere in northern England, but push through the heavy glass doors, grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some of the best seafood in town.
Limfjorden mussels and an array of local oysters star.
Best of all, Fiskebar won't leave you desperately turning out your pockets for any loose krone to pay for a cab back to your hotel. A main of the aforementioned mussels will hit you for 165kr (US$30).
Flæsketorvet 100, 1711 Copenhagen, +45 32155656, fiskebaren.dk/en/
Only got time for one blow out meal in Copenhagen? Geranium is Lai's first choice.
"It's a wonderful restaurant, completely different from Noma," she says.
Chef Rasmus Kofoed has been racking up awards for his intriguing dishes. The tasting menu is de rigeur.
Billed as "a tour of our universe," expect to nibble on pine needles, sheep's butter, seaweed and Jerusalem artichokes. Stump up 2,900kr (US$518) and you'll get the full tasting experience, with natural wines paired with each dish.
Then go for a lie down.
Per Henrik Lings Allé 4, 2100 Copenhagen, +45 69 96 00 20, geranium.dk
Head to Relæ and you'll find "avant-garde creativity in full bloom and at a reasonable price," says Lai.
The restaurant is the baby of former El Bulli and Noma chef Christian Puglisi, but while there's definitely a unique streak to proceedings, the food is pleasingly straightforward.
The biodynamic beef with burnt cabbage and green strawberries is sensational, while the sheep's milk yogurt with beetroot and blackcurrant will make you look at your regular pot of Danone in disgust.
After 8 p.m. you can pick seven courses for 675kr (US$120), a steal considering the background of the chef and the diversity of the ingredients on show.
Jægersborggade 41, 2200 Copenhagen, Tel +45 3696 6609, restaurant-relae.dk
Manfreds & Vin
Relæ's sister joint, Manfreds and Vin, offers a more relaxed take on the mad scientist stylings of its sibling.
Again, shared dishes are the focus, with anchovy salad (using Lolin anchovies, billed as the world's best), root veggies and ox tatar to spread across the table.
Alternatively, diners can order the chef's rolling daily menu. It lets you taste new creations, with two vegetable dishes, one of meat or fish and one poached egg for 250kr (US$44).
There's also a superb weekend brunch, with celeriac-packing eggs Benedict or the heftier "Manfreds sviner," replete with eggs, hand-made sausages and sour dough baked on the premises.
Jægersborggade 40, 2200 Copenhagen, +45 36966593, manfreds.dk
Lai describes Radio as "one of the newer, innovative places. More classic than Relæ and Manfreds, but unique and very, very delicious."
While you can grab larger, single lunch dishes for 100kr (US$18), swerve that option and share five eats for 400kr (US$71) instead.
Not only are the squid, potatoes with capers and thyme turbot all delicious, picking over small plates is the way to eat in Copenhagen. Think tapas, but with fewer bottles of San Miguel floating around.
Julius Thomsens Gade 12, 1632 Copenhagen, Tel +45 2510 2733, restaurantradio.dk/
Kiin Kiin
This Michelin-starred Thai restaurant is at the forefront of Copenhagen's Asian haute cuisine boom. Lai calls it "excellent with a modern touch," and with good reason.
This is way beyond the basic pad Thai that might pass as a hurried lunch at your desk.
The tasting menu, based on Thai street food, is the only option you should consider, 495kr (US$88). The char-grilled lobster is followed by peanut ginger ice cream and delicious tom yum.
It might not be your traditional Danish dinner, but the ingredients are locally sourced, making this a Nordic take on Southeast Asia's best food.

I wear my normal winterwear for winter cycling, and it works fine. Actually, I wear less for cycling than I do for other winter activities. I agree with you about wearing the porous materials that allow the sweat-vapor to escape. You can spot me easily. I'm the warm guy in the mid-70s leisure suit who rides with all the cold people in expensive winter cycling clothes.Jimhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1162827170240167462006-11-06T07:32:00.000-08:002006-11-06T07:32:00.000-08:00I remember riding with my friend in winter in Anch...I remember riding with my friend in winter in Anchorage. He didn't ride often enough to justify buying the high tech clothes (like the neoprene booties which I wore), so he improvised a lot. In order to avoid cold feet he wrapped plastic grocery bags around his socked feet before slipping on his boots. Plastic doesn't breathe well, so perspiration couldn't escape, but that actually helped to keep his feet warm.RKNhttp://email@example.com

Tar Sands, Tankers & Pipelines
British Columbia is a major focal point for companies that want to use the province to ship tar sands oil to international markets. The two main proposals are the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain and Enbridge Northern Gateway projects. Crossing hundreds of rivers and streams and exposing our coast to the increased threat of oil spills, these proposals would also enable expansion of the tar sands, Canada's largest growing source of greenhouse gas pollution, while bringing few lasting economic benefits to British Columbians.
West Coast Environmental Law is working to prevent the expansion of tar sands infrastructure in BC in order to protect our watersheds, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, our climate, and the human communities that rely on them. To do this, West Coast engages in three types of work.
First, West Coast provides legal and strategic advice and representation to a number of First Nations that oppose tar sands pipelines and tankers in their territory.
Second, West Coast provides public legal information, analysis, and occasionally funding through the Environmental Dispute Resolution Fund to enable to the public to engage on oil pipeline and tanker issues.
Third, West Coast advocates for law reform that can change the rules of the game, including a legislated oil tanker ban on BC's north coast, and environmental assessment reform to better enable community voices to be heard and to accommodate Indigenous governance.
Oil Pipeline and Tanker Proposals
The Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Project proposes to build a new 987-kilometre pipeline from Edmonton, Alberta to Burnaby, BC, mostly alongside an existing pipeline constructed in the 1950s. The proposed expansion would triple Kinder Morgan's transport of oil to Burnaby from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day on average.
The new pipeline would be used to carry diluted tar sands bitumen, the majority of which would be exported. This would require a sevenfold increase in oil tankers entering Burrard inlet, jumping from about 60 to 408 tankers per year.
The Enbridge Northern Gateway project proposes to build twin 1,178-kilometre pipelines shipping an average of 525,000 barrels per day of diluted tar sands bitumen and 193,000 barrels per day of toxic condensate between Bruderheim, Alberta and Kitimat, BC. Northern Gateway proposes to build a new shipping terminal in Kitimat as a terminus for the pipelines, which would introduce an average of 220 supertanker shipments per year through the narrow Douglas Channel.
These types of tar sands infrastructure proposals present serious risks to our water, land, and climate. Enbridge, for example, was responsible for the largest inland oil spill in American history when its Line 6B pipeline ruptured near Marshall, Michigan in 2010, spilling over three million litres of tar sands oil and seriously contaminating Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River.
In the marine environment, such proposals would leave British Columbia vulnerable to an oil spill disaster on the scale of the Exxon Valdez, which could devastate the coastal environment and way of life for generations. Furthermore, tar sands infrastructure through BC would facilitate significant expansion of oil production in the tars sands, locking in increases in carbon pollution that are inconsistent with Canada's international goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
These proposals are also being pushed forward in the face of the refusal of consent by many affected First Nations, as evidenced in the Save the Fraser Declaration, the Coastal First Nations Declaration and the Treaty to Protect the Salish Sea, in which signatory First Nations ban tar sands infrastructure projects in their territories pursuant to their own laws.

Soccer is a team game, but the Wellington Phoenix needed a tick over 30 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Adelaide United to again realise that success or failure may in fact revolve around one player.
In the 32 minutes that Paul Ifill played off the bench, the Phoenix were a different side. Their mojo was back, and what had been a pretty ho-hum affair came to life with the very real feeling the Phoenix could salvage something from a predictable, somewhat dour, midfield battle.
Ifill, who was injured in the team's first-up 1-1 draw on the Gold Coast early last month and lasted just 15 minutes of a too hasty return for the 4-0 home win over the Newcastle Jets a week later, had four weeks on the sideline nursing a torn tendon.
He could only watch in frustration as the Phoenix slumped to a 1-0 loss in Perth and then unprecedented back-to-back losses to Melbourne Victory and Central Coast Mariners at Westpac Stadium - before bouncing back for a 1-1 away draw with the rampant Roar.
With Ifill out, the Wellington club picked up just one point and scored three goals. In his 30 minutes on Saturday, he contributed to the goal which gained them a point.
Goal-scoring is the showy side to the 32-year-old English-born Barbados international's game - he scored 12 in 27 regular-season games in the 2009-10 A-League season - but his contribution goes far deeper.
His mere presence in the latter stages brought the 20,000-plus crowd back into the contest. With the clock running down, the Phoenix grabbed possession in the middle of the park, and Chris Greenacre picked out Ifill, who zipped a ball towards the Adelaide goal. Ben Sigmund charged to put pressure on central defender Nigel Boogard.
In his diving attempt to head wide for a corner, Boogard succeeded in only firing the ball away from stranded goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic and into the bottom corner of the Adelaide net for the first own-goal by any A-League team this season.
Earlier, the visitors had taken the 44th minute lead when they swept down field and caught the Phoenix defence square. Dario Vidosic flicked the ball on to Bruce Djite, who rode Andrew Durante's challenge to plant the ball in the Phoenix goal as he crashed into goalkeeper Tony Warner.
There were other half chances, but few really clear-cut opportunities in a match which was too often a stop-start affair as referee Peter Green seemed intent on whistling the life out of it.
It was Adelaide's first point on the road this season. Coach Rini Coolen said, "It [a draw] was very tough to take. I thought we deserved to win.
"We controlled almost the whole game and had opportunities to score."
That they did not was again credit to the settled back-five coach Ricki Herbert was able to put out.
Sigmund probably went away as the man of the match, but Manny Muscat and Andrew Durante were not far behind.
The Phoenix again failed to convert set-play opportunities, scoring none from nine corners - six in the opening 13 minutes - and overall had only three shots to Adelaide's six.
"I thought we weren't bad," was Herbert's initial summation. "They dug deep and it was good to take something from it."
But he, and the fans, will be looking for more collectively and from Ifill when they return to Westpac Stadium on Sunday to play Sydney FC.
Last-minute rushes to get into sporting fixtures are nothing new in Auckland.
The pressure brought to bear by the walk-up crowd for the Wellington Phoenix match with Adelaide United at Eden Park on Saturday brought howls of protests from those who missed the kick-off and, in some cases, a chunk of the first half.
The scenes of people queuing outside the gates brought back memories of November 1964 when Peter Snell announced he would attempt the world record for the 1000m at Western Springs on a Wednesday.
The chance to see the double Olympic champion in action at home for the first time since the Tokyo Olympics evoked pandemonium outside the gate as a huge crowd flocked to the stadium.
Then Auckland Athletic Centre president Frank Sharp was seen stuffing five pound notes into his pockets as the crowd swarmed in to catch a glimpse of their hero. But they did get in.
Fast-forward nearly 50 years and things have changed. Or have they?
The Phoenix and Eden Park authorities implored fans to buy tickets early and offered cut-price incentives.
While there were - in the Herald at least - predictions of a 20,000-strong crowd, Aucklanders were prepared to take their chances. At their peril.
With 4000 spectators piling through the gates in the hour before kick-off, it was apparent that something had to give and, yes, some were left stranded.
Phoenix marketing manager David Dome admitted they had been caught short: "We apologise for those who missed the start of the game, but all the ticket booths were open ... No one who had pre-purchased a ticket missed the kick-off."
Therein lies the lesson.

Burundi sends 1,000 extra AU troops to Somalia
* Deployment brings Burundi soldier numbers to 4,400
* Kenya about to send last group of Somali troops it trained
By Abdi Sheikh
MOGADISHU, March 12 (Reuters) - Burundi has sent 1,000 more troops to the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia taking its total there to 4,400, its army spokesman said on Saturday.
The U.N.-backed Transitional Federal Government of President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed controls part of the capital, and AMISON -- AU troops from Uganda and Burundi -- is fighting to stop two hardline Islamist insurgent groups from taking over the rest.
The groups also control much of south and central Somalia.
"We have deployed 1,000 extra Burundian troops to Mogadishu two days ago," Lieutenant Colonel Jastace Ciza told Reuters by phone from Bujumbura. "We have sent them to strengthen our forces in Mogadishu."
Previously AMISOM soldiers numbered about 8,000. Continued...

Messer has recently put to the test a project delivery method called Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), which uses heavy collaboration between owner, designers and builders to cut down on project costs while maximizing efficiency and quality. In its May issue, the Cincinnati Business Courier outlined Messer's use of IPD and how its use has impacted two of the company's large health care projects.
Research has revealed fewer than 100 projects nationwide to use IPD since its inception 10 years ago. Messer first used the method on the Simon Family Tower project at Indiana University Health's Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The method proved so effective that it was implemented at Messer's current work at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center's Location T project, a $180-million, 425,000-square-foot addition to the hospital's Avondale campus. Location T is slated for completion in the summer of 2015.
Traditionally, an owner hires an architect and engineer to design a building, then brings in a general contractor, like Messer, for the construction portion of the project. The general contractor then uses a mixture of its own workers and subcontractors for the work. For the sake of further detail, the project's initial designs, or "drawings," are re-drawn by either Messer or a subcontractor.
"Why is somebody redrawing something that was just drawn?" Messer Health Care Vice President Nick Apanius told the Cincinnati Business Courier.
In IPD, owner, architects, engineers and builders are aligned into a single contract, meaning original designs are done with the input of each party involved, including the general contractor and key subcontractors.
IPD requires a few unique elements. First, key participants who generally come into the picture later – namely the general contractor and key subcontractors – are now involved early in the process. This hashes out problems before they present themselves on site. For example, plumbing and electrical subcontractors can lay out and evaluate the location of their lines during the design stage, instead of when a potential conflict between the two locations arises during traditional coordination or even installation.
Next is the joint sharing of risk and reward through a profit/incentive pool. Since all parties are aligned into a single contract, they manage the project jointly and all split the same profit. For example, a subcontractor's work and input thus affects all parties involved, instead of only fitting into their contract with the general contractor.
IPD is most often used on large-scale projects – generally more than $50 million. If a project's size requires a significant use of a subcontractor's time and resources, the extra planning time is a worthwhile investment.
Because each contributor is giving their insight into the original drawings, Apanius said, everyone's input will be included in the original drawing. "It allows construction to start sooner and run more efficiently," he said.
