Cuban Government "Kidnapping" Rotilla Music Festival, Founders Say
Los Aldeanos slammed the Cuban government at last year's Rotilla Festival
via YouTube
Last August, the Rotilla Festival brought 20,000 young Cubans to a beach near Havana for three days of rap, house, and electronic music. It was a rare moment of free speech in the tightly policed country: groups like hip-hop duo Los Aldeanos openly criticized the Communist government while performing for free late into the summer night.
This year? Not so much.
Rotilla's founders now say that the Cuban government is "kidnapping" the festival by barring them from meetings, organizing the event without them, and offering $1,000 to bands that agree to play.
Cuba's largest independent music festival, Rotilla was founded in 1998 by Michel Matos and several friends. During a press conference on Wednesday, he accused the Culture Ministry of taking over this year's event and barring him and other organizers from meetings.

"They're kidnapping, stealing our festival," said Matos, who, until now, was Rotilla's executive director.
"It's not a simple case of censorship, of them shutting it down. It's an abduction... On the one hand, they're taking it away from us and on the other hand, they are organizing it themselves through official institutions."
It wouldn't be the first time that the Cuban government -- despite its ancientness -- threatened to co-opt a popular music event. In 2009, Colombian singer Juanes's plans for a Paz Sin Fronteras concert in Havana sparked outrage among el exilio in Miami. The event went ahead anyways and was considered a success.
This time, however, the intervention of Raúl Castro & Co. is a body blow to one of Cuba's few independently financed music festivals. Although Matos admits that organizers had cooperated with the government in years past -- including dropping acts banned by the state -- Rotilla was funded by the Dutch and Spanish embassies as well as Serbian electronic music festival EXIT.
The result was a raucous, occasionally politically charged festival. Last year, for example, El B from Los Aldeanos rapped:
What moves us is the hope that someone will discuss our problems
Necessities, violence and lies of the state,
Its mechanism has become corrupt and manipulated,
And police that instead of inspiring hate make me ashamed.
From what Matos claims about the hijacking of Rotilla, those problems aren't going away any time soon. What are the odds that Los Aldeanos appears on stage again this year?

The "M" Word
These two problems have been around since the earliest work on
string theoryýalong with the hope that they would somehow
cancel each other out. Perhaps some larger theory exists to which
string theory is just an approximate solution obtained by series
expansion, and this larger theory will explain what's going on with
the six dimensions we can't see. The latest version of this vision
goes under the name of "M-theory," where the "M"
is said variously to stand for "Membrane,"
"Matrix," "Mother," "Meta,"
"Magic" or "Mystery"ýalthough
"Mythical" may be more appropriate, given that nearly
eight years of work on this idea have yet to lead to even a good
conjecture about what M-theory might be.
The reigning Standard Model of particle physics, which string theory
attempts to encompass, involves at its core certain geometrical
concepts, namely the Dirac operator and gauge fields, which are
among the deepest and most powerful ideas in modern mathematics. In
string theory, the Dirac operator and gauge fields are not
fundamental: They are artifacts of taking a low-energy limit. String
theorists ask mathematicians to believe in the existence of some
wonderful new sort of geometry that will eventually provide an
explanation for M-theory. But without a serious proposal for the
underlying new geometry, this argument is unconvincing.
The experimental situation is similarly bleak. It is best described
by Wolfgang Pauli's famous phrase, "It's not even wrong."
String theory not only makes no predictions about physical phenomena
at experimentally accessible energies, it makes no precise
predictions whatsoever. Even if someone were to figure out tomorrow
how to build an accelerator capable of reaching the astronomically
high energies at which particles are no longer supposed to appear as
points, string theorists would be able to do no better than give
qualitative guesses about what such a machine might show. At the
moment string theory cannot be falsified by any conceivable
experimental result.
There is, however, one physical prediction that string theory does
make: the value of a quantity called the cosmological constant (a
measure of the energy of the vacuum). Recent observations of distant
supernovae indicate that this quantity is very small but not zero. A
simple argument in string theory indicates that the cosmological
constant should be at least around 55 orders of magnitude larger
than the observed value. This is perhaps the most incorrect
experimental prediction ever made by any physical theory that anyone
has taken seriously.
With such a dramatic lack of experimental support, string theorists
often attempt to make an aesthetic argument, professing that the
theory is strikingly "elegant" or "beautiful."
Because there is no well-defined theory to judge, it's hard to know
what to make of these assertions, and one is reminded of another
quotation from Pauli. Annoyed by Werner Heisenberg's claims that,
though lacking in some specifics, he had a wonderful unified theory
(he didn't), Pauli sent letters to some of his physicist friends
each containing a blank rectangle and the text, "This is to
show the world that I can paint like Titian. Only technical details
are missing." Because no one knows what "M-theory"
is, its beauty is that of Pauli's painting. Even if a consistent
M-theory can be found, it may very well turn out to be something of
great complexity and ugliness.
What exactly can be said for string theory? In recent
years, something called the Maldacena conjecture has led to some
success in using string theory as a tool in understanding certain
quantum field theories that don't include gravity. Mathematically,
string theory has covered a lot of ground over the past 18 years and
has led to many impressive new results. The concept of "mirror
symmetry" has been very fruitful in algebraic geometry, and
conformal field theory has opened up a new, fascinating and very
deep area of mathematics. Unfortunately for physics, these
mathematically interesting parts of string theory do little to
connect it with the real world.
String theory has, however, been spectacularly successful on one
frontýpublic relations. For example, it's been the subject of
the best-selling popular science book of the past couple years:
The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, one of my
colleagues at Columbia. The National Science Foundation is funding a
series of NOVA programs based on his accessible and
inspiring book. What is more, the Institute for Theoretical Physics
at the University of California, Santa Barbara, organized last
spring a conference to train high school
teachers in string theory so that they can teach it to their
students. And The New York Times and other popular
publications regularly run articles on the latest developments in
string theory.
It's easy enough to see why the general public is taken with string
theory, but one wonders why so many particle theorists are committed
to working on it. Sheldon Glashow, a string-theory skeptic and
Nobel-laureate physicist at Harvard, describes string theory as
"the only game in town." Why this is so perhaps has
something to do with the sociology of physics.
During much of the 20th century there were times when theoretical
particle physics was conducted quite successfully in a somewhat
faddish manner. That is, there was often only one game in town.
Experimentalists regularly discovered new and unexpected phenomena,
each time leading to a flurry of theoretical activity (and sometimes
to Nobel prizes). This pattern ended in the mid-'70s with the
overwhelming experimental confirmation and widespread acceptance of
the Standard Model of particle physics. Since then, particle physics
has been a victim of its own success, with theoreticians looking for
the next fad to pursueýand finding it in string theory.
One reason that only one new theory has blossomed is that graduate
students, postdocs and untenured junior faculty interested in
speculative areas of mathematical physics beyond the Standard Model
are under tremendous pressures. For them, the idea of starting to
work on an untested new idea that may very well fail looks a lot
like a quick route to professional suicide. So some people who do
not believe in string theory work on it anyway. They may be
intimidated by the fact that certain leading string theorists are
undeniably geniuses. Another motivation is the natural desire to
maintain a job, get grants, go to conferences and generally have an
intellectual community in which to participate. Hence, few stray
very far from the main line of inquiry.

Suns' Solis just happy to be here
Nationals' No. 5 prospect tosses six scoreless innings in '14 debut
By Robert Emrich / MiLB.com | May 16, 2014 11:42 PM ET
Sammy Solis isn't concerned with perceptions. He's not worried about where he's pitching. At the end of the day, he's just thrilled to be on the mound again.
The Nationals' No. 5 prospect allowed four hits and struck out seven over six innings to win his season debut Friday as Class A Hagerstown routed Lakewood, 11-0, in the first game of a doubleheader.
Solis (1-0) did not issue a walk and faced three batters over the minimum. He retired seven in a row after Jiandido Tromp singled with one out in the third.
"Honestly, I feel like everything was working," Solis said. "More than electric stuff, I think it was throwing strikes. I was pounding the zone with every pitch, which I feel like is good to see, especially fresh out of Florida and extended spring training. I just wanted to get a feel for all my pitches tonight."
Solis, who worked his way back from Tommy John surgery in March 2012, missed the start of the season due to back spasms. For a pitcher who's never thrown more than 100 innings in a season, the time off time proved frustrating.
"Yeah, it was," the 25-year-old left-hander said. "It's hard because every single season now I haven't started on time, and that's been tough on me because I'm always excited to get going. In the end, it's where you finish, not where you start."
While it would be easy for some to think of Solis as injury-prone, the University of San Diego product isn't concerned with that.
"Honestly, no," he said. "I could care less what people think. I don't think it's a matter of my character or my work ethic. I'm working my butt off every day. I just have gotten the short end of the stick, but that doesn't mean I'm changing anything."
There was some speculation that Solis might begin the season at Double-A Harrisburg, with the idea of working toward the Nationals bullpen. The 6-foot-5 southpaw was happy to take the field in the South Atlantic League, where he pitched in seven games in 2011.
"I'll tell you, anything is better than being in extended spring training," Solis said. "I was just excited to get out there and play in games that have meaning and helping whatever team it is win a game. It didn't matter to me, I was happy to be out of Florida and, hopefully, I can move up from here."
Joseph Webb followed Solis with a hitless seventh to finish off the Suns' third shutout of the season.
Wilmer Difo slugged a pair of homers and drove in a career-high five runs, while Isaac Ballou and James Yezzo both homered and chipped in two RBIs.
BlueClaws starter Alejandro Arteaga (3-5) surrendered seven runs on 11 hits over two innings.

Date of Stay: September, 2012
If you like crabbing and/or fishing, this is the place to go. Newport is fairly close. Very run down, gravel road in park. Staff helpful. Fire rings available in sites. Cell reception/WiFi excellent.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We were in site #16, which is RIVERFRONT. The view of the river was SPECTACULAR; however we were hemmed in by the rig behind us. The configuration of the park is such that #16 and #17, with the most spectacular views of the McKenzie River, are unhappily intertwined. If the rig in #16 wanted to leave prior to the rig in site #17, the rig in #17 would have to move to let the rig in #16 leave. What a weird circumstance!!! However, we were here with a group, so it worked for us. It would NOT work for individual campers, who were not together. We did not use any of the park's facilities, so could not rate them. The park advertises "WiFi." Do NOT believe it. We were here 5 days and never were able to get out on the internet. Did not need to deal with park employees, so no rating there. Highly recommend for the gorgeous McKenzie River and surrounding natural, heavily forested beauty.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Beautiful setting smack dab on the Umpqua River. If you are into views, this is fantastic. However, there isn't anything much to do here unless you are a fisherman/woman. Children can play on the exposed rocks in the shallow part of the river. If you need to be connected to the world, you need to have your own TV/Internet connections. The park is also right on the highway. It did occur to me to worry somewhat about the fact our RV would literally be pushed into the river if there was an accident on the highway. Staff was friendly. It is a hairpin turn to enter the park from the west off the highway. The park is difficult to see if one is not looking closely for it. Signage could be much better and more visible on the highway.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Outstanding park! Beautifully landscaped, Willamette River steps away, large sites, lots of shaded sites, owner/operator superb. We already scheduled a week in here next summer. Nearby waterfalls, spectacular mountain scenery, historic covered bridge. Grocery shopping nearby. Come and stay, you will love it!
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Nice, wide sites. Trail to ocean. Friendly staff.

6 Sleep Myths Busted (Page 3)
Myth 2. A glass of wine before bed will help you get a better night's rest.
The Truth: Because alcohol is a sedative, drinking wine, beer or other alcoholic beverages may help you fall asleep, but as little as two drinks can cause you to sleep less restfully and wake up more frequently. And alcohol-related sleep disturbances are worse for women, say researchers at the University of Michigan. Drink moderately, if at all, and avoid drinking within a few hours of bedtime.

Report: MLB considering "NFL style" replay system
The MLB general managers' meetings are underway, where several potential changes to the professional version of America's pastime are discussed. According to the New York Post's Ken Davidoff on Twitter, one of the changes includes an expansion of the league's instant replay system.
https://twitter.com/KenDavidoff/status/266363893251715073 Instant replay has been used by MLB since 2008, and then for a single purpose. Umpires can use video replays to determine if a home run is fair or foul, but not for other calls on the field. The NFL has used its current system of instant replay that allows coaches to "challenge" calls since 1999.

Organic Food Program Coming To Rockaway
A new community program that will bring fresh organic food to the Rockaways will be introduced at a workshop that will be held by Culinary Kids CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture). The program will provide farm-fresh organic fruits, vegetables, eggs, meats, cheeses and wines on a weekly basis. Individuals will sign up and pay reasonable fees for the 20-week program. To find out more everyone is invited to the workshop which will be held on Friday, February 26, from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. The workshops will be held at the Teaching Center at St. John's Episcopal Hospital, which is located at 277 Beach 19 Street at the corner of Plainview Avenue, Far Rockaway.
"Better food is vital for good nutrition," says Chef Malisa Rivera, founder and executive director of Culinary Kids CSA. "Organic food is healthier because of the way they are cultivated and grown. The main drawback can be that it's expensive - but with community supported agriculture and a share program it can become much more affordable."
Community-supported agriculture is a "share program." Consumers buy into the entire growing season which runs from June to November and will pick up fresh organic produce on a weekly basis from Culinary Kids CSA, which is located in Edgemere. Many types of shares are available. For more information please contact Culinary Kids at 327-321-0423 or email them at culinarykidscsa@ yahoo.com.

WHAT IT MEANS: Carmelo Anthony has owned the Brooklyn Nets all season. But that changed Monday.
The Knicks star had a tough afternoon from the field, missing 18 of his 29 attempts, including a missed baseline jumper with 12.5 seconds to play and the Nets up by one.
Brooklyn went on to win 88-85 in the fourth and final regular-season game between the two East River rivals. New York has lost four of six and is just one game ahead of Brooklyn in the Atlantic.
The Knicks, though, still had a chance to win the game after Anthony's miss. They were down three with five seconds to play, but J.R. Smith missed a contested 3 that bounced off the backboard and the rim at the buzzer.
Smith also struggled from the floor, shooting 7-for-19 and scoring 16 points.
New York shot 40 percent from the floor and missed 15 of 21 3s.
The Knicks were torched by Joe Johnson in the fourth quarter. Johnson scored 10 straight fourth-quarter points for the Nets, including a jumper over Smith with 22 seconds left to give Brooklyn an 85-84 lead. Johnson finished with 25 points.
AMAR'E IMPROVED: For the second straight game since coming back from offseason knee surgery, Stoudemire looked strong around the basket, though his rebounding and interior defense left something to be desired.
He finished with 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting and six rebounds in 27 minutes.
Stoudemire and Anthony seemed to be in sync for most of the game, with Anthony finding Stoudemire for three uncontested shots near the rim.
SHUMP STARTS AGAIN: Iman Shumpert was in the Knicks' starting lineup for his second game back since offseason ACL surgery.
He started the game guarding Johnson. Johnson came out hot, hitting his first four shots as Shumpert had to rotate off of him to help in other areas on several occasions.
Shumpert seemed out of sync at times on offense. He scored two points on 1-for-6 shooting. The second-year guard played 20 minutes.
Jason Kidd had 11 points and six steals for New York and Tyson Chandler scored seven points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
BOARD ISSUES: The Knicks were crushed on the boards all afternoon. They were outrebounded 40-27 through three quarters. They finished the game outrebounded 52-37. The Knicks won the turnover battle, scoring 17 points off of 19 Nets turnovers.
MLK DAY TRADITION: This is the Knicks' 14th straight year playing on MLK Day. Overall on MLK Day, they are 18-8 at home.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Knicks have two days of practice before traveling to Boston to face Kevin Garnett and the Celtics for the first time since Anthony confronted Garnett after the Knicks' loss to Boston at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 7. Garnett and Anthony will share the floor in the All-Star Game in mid-February. Both are starters for the Eastern Conference.

bunk bed mattress support ?
Whats the recommended Bunk Bed mattress support?
I'm thinking MDF.
one of the "add-ons" the furniture tries to get you on is using their "bunkie pad" at 58$ a pop. I'm thinking I can rip some MDF down much cheaper than that.
3/4 MDF is only 33 Per sheet locally. They were making it sound like I was going to spend 150 per bed to make this. I looked at what they had and it certainly looked like MDF (1/2?)
this good enough or is some other plywood a better choice?
no pics, sorry Joe. :laughing:
but they are twin sized mattresses and there will also be slats under the mdf as well, I'm guessing 4 of the 1x3 slats or something like that.
Some complain about the smell of MDF so you might want to seal/prime and paint it. Plywood might be a better choice? Could use slats but these days they will probably cost you what a sheet of ply would.
right about the smell, although I am not one to complain, my daughters have taken on their mothers nose, better to be safe then sorry.
any recommendations for plywood type? anything stronger than other types for weight/thickness?
funny stuff, I think this is what they had
Menards particle board
For our grandson's bunkbeds I used slats 14-16 inch apart with 3/8 inch sanded plywood, they are big boys now (6 foot), and it is still holding up.
Years ago when my boys were younger they had bunk beds. One problem that arose was that with the boys twisting and turning the bed frame would widen just enough for the slats to fall out causing the top boy to fall on the bottom boy in the middle of the night. Then I had to go and stop a full-blown massacre. The bed rails at that time were wooden so I just put small eye bolts in two places along the bed rail, about 1/3 of the way along the length and used small stranded steel wire to tie off the bed rails so they would not spread out anymore. Later when they got twin beds with steel rails this would happen again--I honestly do not know what they were doing in the middle of the night to cause this. This time I drilled holes in the bed rails for the wire to solve the "spreading" problem.
the slats are to be screwed in now.
fwiw I got 2 23/32 sanded plywood panels cut to size by the orange apron guy. 56$ out the door.
vs 108+tax would i have gotten them from the furn place. for a lesser product (imo of course)

Really sweet!!! :)enjoy!!! Bob
The video is awesome....obviously the time spent training is well worth it.
It's great to see such a young pup have focus...especially when there are so many others dealing with puppy issues....it should be inspiring to those who might be thinking they have a puppy which is in it's own world....and won't "listen".
I wish I could say my pup was that well trained at that age...but I'd be fibbing a wee bit. The best part of seeing such performance by your dog is it always reminds me it probably isn't the pup's fault for not obeying but rather the fault of the owner/trainer. Yes, some dogs are smarter than others but the human element is more likely the difference...guilty as charged on my behalf.
Great job, you have to thoroughly enjoy Axel as part of the family.
Thanks guys!
We certainly put a ton of time into training with him! This is our first dog (besides having a family dog as a child) and I had high expectations. He has met all of them! I wanted a shepherd because of their intelligence and protectiveness. He is VERY protective, almost to the point where it is annoying. I'm ok with it though! :)
He knows even more tricks now! We are working on "go get me a beer" he so far just knows how to go open the fridge. We are going to do some agility stuff with him this summer too. He loves to learn.
The only real complaints I have is he doesn't like to come inside when he's called in from outside. I think it is just a phase, he's at that age! He knows what "come" means but sometimes as soon as I say it he runs away immediately! Little bugger

Do any Abilene hospitals allow mothers "roonilng-ln" privileges? Can fathers hold their babies more than Ihc traditional once offered by most hospitals? A. liooming-in isn't available in Abilene. A local pediatrician says new mothers need rest after delivery also, they're not realty able to care for their baby properly when they're taking medication and in many cases are under sedation. Rooming-in was quite popular 10 years few hospitals use iliis system now as mothers usually go home three days after delivery. He says the infant isn't injured by this short separation from the mother because they're rot too aware of what's going on in Ihc first five or six days of life. Mrs. Belly Hambrick, supervisor for OB Dept. at llondrick Memorial Hospital says fathers aren't allowed to hold the baby at all because there's too much chance of infection. Q.

The depulics were in the midst of the eviction Tuesday when members of a crowd of more than 300 began throwing things at the police guard. Reinforcements were called in and 25 persons were arrested. Two policemen were injured, neither seriously. Most of those arrested were charged wilh disorderly conduct and assault. Police said one pointed a revolver and was charged with aggravated as- sault and unlawful use of a weapon. A crowd attempted to over- turn a police car, but its driver sped away without difficulty. As vans hauled the family possession's away, Arthur Wil- liams, a sled worker and one of the persons evicted, asked: "Whore lo now? Maybe back to the ghetto." "It isn't righl.

The official North Korean news agency KCNA said in a Ijrief broadcast from Pyon- gyang that Ihc United Nations Command had contacted North Korea this morning in an at- tempt to solve the deadlock be- tween Hie hijackers and the South Koreans. The Communist broadcast promised that Ihc "safety of Hie plane would be ensured dur- ing the flight in Hie territorial air of our side and Ihose on board the plane would be given liumanilarian treatment if Ihe plane came to our side."

IB Gunmen Hold Hostages, Demand Car on Riviera By GUY RIFFET VILLEGRANCHE-SUR- MER, France (AP) Four gunmen wearing red sweaters, their leader a mental hospital escapee, seized four tourists as hostages today and shol one in H day-long siege at a Riviera ho- tel. The gunmen hurled a gre- nade, fired a burst al a police- men and shol down an elderly West German tourist, Mrs. Hans Tische, wilh a volley of mschine-gun bullels. The wom- an, wounded when she tried lo was in serious condition in a hospital. "Give us a car in front of the door and don't follow the men in Room 100 of the luxu- rious Versailles Hotel told the police al midaftcrnoon. "f.cl us have Ihc time lo make 100 kilo- 60 in Hie direction of Ilaly and we'll let the hostages go." But the demand w.ts turned down by Hcne Mathicu, the po- lice chief. He also said not lo an offer by Ihe bandils lo tree the hostages if Malhicu would ride away wilh them in a car. Under the bandils' guns were Mrs. Tische's husband, 73, and Mr. and Mrs. Ja'cqucs Dcspag- non, 57 and 58, of Paris. Mrs. Despagnon was released by the bandits later in the day, leaving the two husbands as hostages. The siege began at 6 a.m. when police, called to the hotel by employes who noticed a weapon in the baggage four male guests, began lo make door-lo-door checks. A burst of pistol fire answered the police search. The gunmen tried lo leave the hotel by sliding down knotted bed sheets but gave up, and crawled along a balcony Ihal led lo other rooms. One of the gunmen clulched a valise be- lieved lo contain loot from a holdup. Then, Ihe gunmen moved the four persons into a single room. Mrs. Tische was shot when she tried to escape. Later the gang's leader, Maurice Sorini, 25, wlm fled from Timone Psychiatric Hospital in Marseille six weeks ago, agreed to allow a doclor lo evacuate her. During the morning vans full of black uniformed riot police surrounded the Ihrcc-slory hotel and scaled off access to il. Al Ihe sstne lime Malhieu began negotiating with Sorini, but Ihe conversalions got nowhere. The police agreed only to allow a bell boy lo carry two packs of cigarettes to the gunmen on a silver plaller. The bandits agreed, however, lo lei a British family, slaying in the room alongside theirs, leave Ihe floor when they learned that a 13-year-old boy was a diabetic and needed an insulin injection. Mr. and Mrs. Tcrrcnce Sow- den, of the Isle o[ Jersey and Iheir children, Gary, 13, Sally Ann, 12, and Jaync, 8, were bar- ricaded in their room for live hours. ccrlifies that he or she is aulhorizcd to perform the duties of census enumerator and has sii-oiTi to keep confidential all census information provided. Any person who claims to be a census laker bul does not have this identification should be reported immediately to the nearest law enforcement agency, stressed Newton.

"Special Place enumerators" will cover sudi places as hospitals, jails, rest homes, bus stations, and in Abilene Dycss Air Force Base and the city's three colleges. Personnel living off base will be counted by enumerators in Iheir area, not on base. Newton says it will probably take from three lo five weeks for the census takers lo gel around lo all Ihe households. If anybody is going lo be out of town for the month of April, says Newlon, he should leave his form with a neighbor or in his mailbox wilh a note atlachcd. If a resident is going away for only a week or two, his local census taker can contact him after he has returned.

Caffi'r Angel Ices
Portmeirion opened its first authentic Italian style gelateria on Friday 11th April.
Caffi'r Angel has a daily selection of gelato ice cream available, all freshly made on the premises using only locally produced milk and cream supplied by South Caernarfon Creameries.
The development was made possible through Visit Wales's Tourism Investment Support Scheme and has led to the creation of five full time jobs directly related to gelato production.
Gelato production started on 11th April 2014 and this has introduce the authentic taste of Italian gelato to Portmeirion, a perfect match for the Italianate ambience of the village.
The gelato is served on sugar waffle cones using the traditional spatula to shape the gelato in true Italian style.
Gelato is churned at a slower speed than ice cream creating a denser product because not so much air is whipped into the mixture.
It also has a lower fat content than ice cream and doesn't coat the mouth in the same way so the flavours are more intense.
Caffi'r Angel takes its name from the Angel cottage in which it is situated. This was the first cottage to be built by Clough Williams-Ellis at Portmeirion soon after he acquired the site in 1925.
The bookshop that previously occupied the site has been relocated across the street in the Arches building.
In addition to freshly made gelato Caffi'r Angel has an espresso bar with pastries, cakes and gateaux and is fully licensed, offering a range of Italian wines and Prosecco all by the glass.
The interiors design is by Sian Llywelyn. Benchmark Furniture made the leather upholstered banquettes and stools and the polished steel framed mirror panels. The colour sheme is white, polished steel and mint green with floors of dark riven Meirionethshire slate. All the production equipment was supplied by Carpigiani, the world's leading manufacturer of gelato equipment. The service counters and back bar were made by Counterfit Ltd.
A carrettino or mobile gelato cart has been imported from Italy to create a gelato bar on the Salutation terrace.
Caffi'r Angel is open every day all year round.

Defense: What's a military for — protecting America or greening it? With budgets tight and embassies under attack, the Obama administration might want to stop wasting funds on plug-in cars.
The U.S. armed services have a lot on their plate these days, but not all the missions to which they have been assigned are equally important.
High on the value scale, certainly, is protection of American diplomats from a still-alive al-Qaida.
A Marine anti-terrorism team has just been dispatched to Libya to beef up security after the assault in Benghazi that claimed the life of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
There are some more basic tasks that require military attention, like bringing a semblance of stability to Afghanistan, reining in China and ensuring a non-nuclear Iran. We're sure the Obama administration has the Pentagon working on these, but they aren't all that the brass has to think about these days.
Along with what most people would call "real" military stuff, the Department of Defense has also been tasked with the mission of jump-starting the green economy. This week, around the time of the anti-U.S. violence in Libya and Egypt, the blogosphere was humming with news the Pentagon has been buying Chevy Volts, ostensibly as part of its "green initiatives" to reduce its dependence on foreign energy sources.
Stars and Stripes, which first reported the story last month, says the armed services so far had bought 168 plug-in electric vehicles such as the overpriced Volt (which is labeled "road capable" because it has a gas engine that can recharge its batteries on the go).
It aims to acquire about 1,500 in all. Solar-powered charging stations are also in the works. This followed shortly on the news that the Navy bought 450,000 gallons of biofuel at nearly $27 a gallon for July exercises in the Pacific.
To the Obama administration, all this may look like an elegant way to prop up General Motors and work up green jobs while making America safer. To the rest of us, it looks like $600 screwdrivers and $7,600 coffee makers all over again.
This new wave of Pentagon waste comes at an especially bad time, when Americans are clearly in danger overseas and the defense budget is facing stiff cuts — $492 billion over 10 years under the scheduled sequester. This week we've seen what happens when an enemy finds a hole in our armor. You can't plug that hole with a plug-in.

Open secrets and our ABC
Page Tools
It is hardly a secret that the Howard Government has no great love of the news and current affairs output of Australia's public broadcaster. Allegations of political bias in the ABC's news bulletins and public affairs programs have frequently been heard from the government benches, and the previous Minister for Communications, Richard Alston, went so far as to lodge an official complaint about the reporting of the Iraq war by ABC radio's AM. He compiled a dossier of 68 examples of alleged anti-American bias in AM's reports, but an internal ABC review upheld only two. An independent review panel upheld 17, but Mr Alston, who has now retired from politics, is still pursuing his complaint. He has appealed to the Australian Broadcasting Authority.
So the question of proving alleged instances of bias by the ABC has become a vexed one for government supporters who are convinced that the broadcaster has a political colour to the left of them, and of the Australian public generally. It is not surprising, therefore, that Maurice Newman, chairman of the Australian Stock Exchange and until very recently an ABC board member, should have taken this concern to the board. Mr Newman argued that the ABC's broadcasts should be monitored for bias. The media-monitoring agency Rehame was hired "to provide an independent audit of the ABC's output leading to the 2004 election", and has been doing this since last month. But Mr Newman is still not happy; in fact, he resigned from the ABC board in protest after Rehame's watching brief was revealed by the ABC's Media Watch, and he blames the staff board representative, Ramona Koval, for the leak.
For her part, Ms Koval has written to the ABC's managing director, Russell Balding, claiming that the monitoring amounts to political interference in the broadcaster (an odd standpoint given that monitoring might just as easily disprove claims of bias).
If she was the source of Media Watch's report - which she has neither confirmed nor denied - she has set a dangerous precedent. As an elected representative of the ABC staff, she is entitled to argue strongly at board meetings against proposals such as that put forward by Mr Newman, but she is not entitled to violate the confidentiality of board proceedings. Without the expectation of confidentiality, proper corporate governance in the public or private sectors, would not be possible. Breaching this convention could have the unfortunate effect of stifling important debate within the ABC board. Worse, it may raise the entirely unwelcome question of whether a staff representative can be trusted to have a seat at the table at all.

text: EPA proposes air pollution rules for fracking By Ken Ward Jr. July 28, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Obama administration on Thursday proposed for the first time to require the oil and gas industry to control certain air emissions at its wells, in a move aimed at reducing impacts from the growing use of large-scale "fracking" operations.U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials issued their draft regulations to comply with a legal settlement reached after environmental groups sued EPA for not updating its standards to keep pace with advancements in industry technologies."This administration has been clear that natural gas is a key component of our clean energy future, and the steps announced today will help ensure responsible production of this domestic energy source," said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "Reducing these emissions will help cut toxic pollution that can increase cancer risks and smog that can cause asthma attacks and premature death -- all while giving these operators additional product to bring to market."EPA said its proposal is based on "proven technology and best practices," and could largely be met by capturing natural gas that currently escapes into the air, resulting in more efficient operations along with less air pollution.The EPA proposal actually includes four new rules: Performance standards to limit emissions from new wells of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs; performance standards for sulfur dioxide emissions; air toxics regulation for oil and natural gas production; and an air toxics standard for natural gas transmission and storage. EPA issued a news release and provided "fact sheets" and summaries, but did not immediately provide reporters or the public with a copy of its actual regulatory language.Current "new source performance standards" for the industry govern only natural gas processing plants. The new proposal would cover wells, compressors, storage vessels, and other equipment, EPA said."EPA's analysis of the proposed changes, which also include requirements for storage tanks and other equipment, show they are highly cost-effective, with a net savings to the industry of tens of millions of dollars annually from the value of natural gas that would no longer escape to the air," EPA said in a statement. The EPA action comes as West Virginia officials work on emergency regulations to govern Marcellus Shale drilling operations in response to an executive order issued July 12 by Senate President, acting as governor, Earl Ray Tomblin.Tomblin officials have said that gas industry officials acted as "consultants and experts" as the administration developed its regulatory plan, but have refused to make public any documents or correspondence about that industry input.Some West Virginia residents have expressed concern about air emissions from drilling operations, but Tomblin's executive order contains no requirement for the state Department of Environmental Protection to institute any new restrictions on those emissions. The only mention of air emissions in the order is as part of a mandate for DEP to "evaluate its overall regulatory authority over drilling activities."The western groups WildEarth Guardians and the San Juan Citizens Alliance, represented by Earthjustice, sued EPA 2 1/2 years ago. They argued agency officials had not updated air pollution standards governing oil and gas for more than 20 years. The few existing regulations did not limit certain important toxic pollutants and did not address greenhouse gases, the suit alleged.Under a settlement with the groups, EPA was required to propose new rules by Thursday and to finalize those rules by Feb. 28, 2012.The American Petroleum Institute on Thursday issued a last-minute demand that EPA delay the rules to give the industry more time to weigh in on the requirements.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Best yet!
I've purchased a dozen pairs of glasses from Warby, Reading glasses. com and at Lens Crafters. This is by far my favorite pair (so i bought two!) Wish they offered then in a variety of colors.
RevDoc Location: Atlanta, GA July 27, 2016
Love the glasses, hate the non glare lenses
The frames were exactly what I ordered. The non glare lenses are hard to keep clean. Everything I read says to use hand soap and water, but you don't carry that around all day with you. I will continue to purchase from this site, just not the non glare lenses.
Staff Response: Hand soap includes moisturizers and will leave a greasy residue on lenses. We would suggest a small drop of a gentle dish soap, like Dawn, to clean off the residue from the hand soap.

text: The Cleveland baseball team's* logo, a redfaced Native-American man named Chief Wahoo, is problematic, to say the least. And it looks like the Major League Baseball team's owners are inching forward with their [slow phaseout](http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/01/09/cleveland-indians-s...) of the logo. For the 2014 season the Ohio team is replacing "Chief Wahoo" with a block letter 'C' as the team's primary logo. The cartoon man's face will become the secondary logo for the team. Good luck confirming that with the team, though. While first reported by ESPN, the team has actually denied that they are making such a move to avoid alienating people who are emotionally attached to the redfaced caricature, according to ESPN. Still, changes are on the way. From [ESPN](http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10270450/mlb-cleveland-indians-de-emph...): > The Indians have no [uniform] alterations slated for 2014, which means Chief Wahoo will still be on the team's home cap and on the left sleeve of all the team's jerseys for at least one more season. In that sense, the impact of the logo redesignations would be more symbolic than practical. But symbolism matters, especially when discussing Chief Wahoo, whose own symbolism has become controversial. Although most of the debate about Native American imagery in sports has centered on the NFL's Washington Redskins, there's been a rising chorus of voices calling for the Indians to retire Wahoo. ... Moreover, the logo redesignations would have ripple effects because media outlets -- including "SportsCenter" and newspapers -- would start using the block-C, instead of Wahoo, as their visual shorthand for the team. No doubt the Major League Baseball team's owners are aware of the campaign to get Washington, D.C.'s NFL team to change its name. **Story has been updated since publication*

Canada dollar at 5-week low as U.S. budget talks struggle
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar ended slightly weaker against its U.S. counterpart on Friday as the White House and U.S. lawmakers made a late attempt to avert the "fiscal cliff" and investors choose safe-havens to wait out the negotiations.
World stocks slipped and the U.S. dollar gained as the deadline looms for reaching a budget deal to avert massive tax increases and spending cuts that could drag the U.S. economy, the destination for most Canadian exports, into recession. <MKTS/GLOB>
President Barack Obama was not planning to make a new offer to avert the tax hikes and spending cuts that loom on January 1 at a White House meeting with congressional leaders on Friday, a source familiar with the meeting said.
At the meeting, Obama was set to ask lawmakers to hold a vote on a plan that would allow taxes to rise on those who earn $250,000 and up, and that would extend unemployment insurance benefits, according to the source.
"We saw some hint of progress on the fiscal cliff negotiations, a mini deal, and for everyone that is a disappointment," said Adam Button, currency analyst at ForexLive in Montreal.
Commodity-linked currencies like the Canadian dollar tend to benefit when U.S. budget negotiations run smoothly, but when there are snags, investor flows go into the highly liquid U.S. dollar.
The Canadian dollar ended the North American session at C$0.9965 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0035, weaker than Thursday's North American session close at C$0.9949 versus the U.S. dollar, or $1.0051.
Earlier in the session the Canadian currency hit C$0.9969, its weakest level since November 23, but seemed bound by a tight range approaching parity with the U.S. dollar. Continued...

NEW YORK, Friday—A curious thing happened to me the other night. I came out of my apartment house and walked towards Eighth Street to attend a lecture given by Eugene O'Neill, Jr., at the New School for Social Research. Suddenly, I saw on the sidewalk the figure of a man. He lay there drunk or ill or asleep—very thin and very poor-looking. People glanced at him and hurried by. Some of us made sure that he was breathing. But here in a big city, what did one do with a stranger who lay senseless and helpless on the sidewalk?
What we did was to report him to the first policeman we met—which I suppose was the proper thing to do—but it left me feeling very odd. The story of the Good Samaritan kept running through my head, and I wondered whether it was possible in a big city to feel the same responsibility for your fellow man as you would feel on a country road.
I don't suppose the man was worthy, and I doubt if you can take a man you see lying on the street and have him carried into an apartment house. But leaving him there seemed heartless and senseless and inhuman, and I don't think I like the way we live in these days.
I had no further responsibility after we found the policeman, but the incident haunted me all through Mr. O'Neill's lecture about my husband as a man of ideas and a man of letters. And the next day, at Lake Success, as we argued about human rights at a committee meeting, I wondered how many human rights that poor man had. At heart I imagine I am really a country bumpkin—I like to know my neighbors and to have some sense of responsibility for them.
* * *
I have had a plea from someone who believes in the vast good that Alcoholics Anonymous has been able to do for a great many people who, without it, would apparently have been hopeless alcoholics. My correspondent calls my attention to a play in town called "The Cup of Trembling." The critics have evidently been none too kind and the audiences have been slim, yet my correspondent says it is a play which is needed to draw the attention of people to the alcoholic question.
I think more and more enlightened people have come to believe that alcoholism is a disease and that people who have suffered from it and successfully grappled with it are perhaps better able to help others than the average doctor or nurse or even sanitarium. Restraint may work for a time but, as I understand it, Alcoholics Anonymous builds strength within the individual, with the aid of people who have been through the same hard fight, know every step of the way, and therefore can really give some practical help.
If this play will give the unthinking public a knowledge of the situation and explain a tool which is ready for use—but which frequently is not used because it is not well enough known—then I think people should be induced to go and see the play. I can't say whether it is a good play or an entertaining one, as I haven't seen it, but the earnestness of my correspondent has moved me to bring it to the attention of my readers in New York.

Talk About Hovawarts
Wonderful dogs
First of all, since discovering you have Hovawart listed in your Dog Breeds list, I now know that I love this website more than most. I have no tips, only that I am positive I rescued a Hovawart from my local shelter. Awaiting DNA test results but this breed may not be part of their database. We'll see. What a wonderful, wonderful dog if that is what she is.
~Pat M., owner of a possible Hovawart
Guardian of the estate
This type of dog almost became extinct in the early 1900s. It originated in Germany and had to be crossbred with German shepherds and Bernese Mountain Dogs to keep it going. It's very rare.
Mine is intelligent, very loyal to my family, and a great protector, but does not like strangers. This is an outstanding dog breed to have but rare to find.
~B B, owner of a Hovawart
Eureka! I found her!
When I adopted my little Attie from a GSD rescue, they thought she was a GSD/Gordon Setter mix -- but looking and reading about the Hovawarts, I'm now convinced this is what she is!! She's on the smaller side, 45 pounds at 1.5 years of age, but her temperament, coat, and markings are identical!
She is a lovebug with me and her Daddy and gets along well with our cats but she can be wary of strangers, true to the guard dog nature of the breed. She loves to swim, she's bright, and responds best to positive reinforcement. I'm so excited to have discovered the Hovawart breed and LOVE my Attie-cakes!!

Boys basketball: Cedar Grove Panthers lose Group I semifinals to Bloomfield Tech
After mounting fourth quarter comebacks of their own the last two games, the Cedar Grove boys basketball team had the tables turned on it Wednesday in East Orange, as Bloomfield Tech closed an eight-point fourth quarter deficit to end the Panthers season in the Group I semifinals, 53-49.
Cedar Grove was coming off a win Monday, in which they defeated Cresskill and were titled sectional champions. The Panthers were now playing fellow sectional title winners in what was seemingly gravy for the already state sectional champion squad.
"I was extremely upset at first. I just was in shock," senior Michael Bocchino said. "I'm still kind of in shock, I don't know how we lost this game, we had it. But if I look in the broad spectrum of everything ... I'd say I'm pretty lucky."
The senior pointed out the fact that he, and many of his teammates, reached three state sectional finals in their four years as Cedar Grove athletes, winning a title in both football and basketball.
After pushing the tempo and controlling the game throughout the second and third quarters - at one point the lead ballooned to 12 - the Panthers slowed things down a little too much in the fourth according to Head Coach Rob Gogerty.
"I think we just lost the tempo for the game a little bit," he said.
Gogerty felt as though if his squad had just pushed the lead to 15, they would have eventually won the game.
Instead it was the Spartans hitting all the big shots down the stretch, using their length and size to present a challenge unlike Cedar Grove had seen.
"They're really athletic and they have a high basketball IQ," senior Joe Slattery said. "When you put that together you can do a lot of things."
On the offensive end it was a balanced attack for Cedar Grove, with Slattery, fellow senior Paul Rufo and junior Michael DeAngelo all scoring 12 points. David Njoku added seven, and Bocchino chipped in six.
After the game Gogerty highlighted the effort of this starting five, most of whom dominate on both the basketball court and football field.
"I've been telling a lot of the younger guys on that bench that I kind of hope they're learning something from these guys because just how hard they play," the coach said.
For Bocchino and Slattery, their playing days as Panthers are now over.
"I'm not going to know what to do with myself after school," Bocchino said.
Coming into the game the senior said he didn't feel the same pressure he did against Cresskill, when he knew a sectional championship was on the line.
Slattery said the big stage combined with lower pressure made this the must fun game he has ever been a part of, despite the result.
"It sucks to lose but I mean we can't hang our heads about this. I mean we did what our first goal was to do and that was to win a sectional championship," he said. "This was basically just having fun and seeing where we would end up."
Because of the tournament format for basketball, with the sectional winners playing down to group champions, and then the group champions playing to a single state champion, every playoff team but one will eventually end the season with a loss.
For this reason Gogerty told his team to walk out of the locker room with its heads held high. The coach struggled to thank the players, and told them no words he says now will properly illustrate how much he has come to love them over the past four years.
The Panthers pep club, which filled three busses for the short drive, chanted "We still love you" as the seniors walked off the court one final time.
"I feel like we brought the whole school together," Bocchino said.

The honesty of a 13-year-old boy who handed in a lost wallet containing $80 cash has restored a man's faith in human nature.
Tari Sinclair regularly runs the beach from Omanu to Mount Maunganui.
It helps him deal with what he described as a "rough time".
Mr Sinclair set off on a run on Wednesday with his wallet inside a belt bag but when he returned home, the wallet was missing and the bag's zip was open.
'So I went all the way down to the Mount again and a guy helped me and I couldn't find it," he said.
"It had $80 cash, my driver's licence and all my cards in there."
Mr Sinclair searched three times but was unsuccessful.
When he bumped into a man he recognised from Bayfair Shopping Centre, he told him his story.
"Then he said 'Oh, my son found it'.
"I said 'I'm not kidding, I've really lost it' and he said 'I'm not kidding, my son's found it'."
The wallet had been handed in to police by the 13-year-old and was soon reunited with Mr Sinclair, with everything still inside.
"For a boy that age, it's just amazing.
"I just want to say thanks. He could have gone 'Oh, found myself a wallet' and keep the money and dump it but he took the whole thing in."
Mr Sinclair met Murphy Morse yesterday to express his gratitude, and gave him $30.
Murphy said he felt "pretty good" about handing the wallet in.

Gowanus Overfloweth
Yesterday, even before the full flash of nasty known as Hurricane Sandy made landfall in NYC, the Gowanus Canal broke its banks. We heard this news from the New York Observer:
With the combined effects of the surge from Hurricane Sandy and high tide, the Gowanus Canal broke its banks this morning in multiple locations and flooded over many of the streets in mandatory evacuation Zone A along its shores. The Observer was on hand to take pictures of the waters. It was far worse than anything we witnessed with the initial Sandy surge at high tide last night.
While the only serious flooding we saw last night was on 2nd Street, this morning saw waters creeping up almost every block next to the canal near Carroll Gardens. Flooding in the canal is troubling as its a superfund site that is home to extensive industrial activity and has a long, well-deserved reputation as a hotbed of toxic sludge and pollutants. The Environmental Protection Agency describes the canal as "one of the nation's most extensively contaminated water bodies."
While most of us see the Gowanus as a flowing bed of toxic sludge, it is also a fount of poetic inspiration. So while we continue to wait out the storm, those of us with power and an internet connection, let's take a dip into our online archive and read a few poems by Julian Talamantez Brolaski from gowanus atropolis— here and here. And while we're at it, please take a listen to this podcast that gets deeper into the Gowanus mess.

Why is the box so big?
Very nice and fragrant tea. The box could easily hold double the quantity of tea, which I don't find too nice. At least the tea is good...

Rishi is a good trusted name in tea and the loose tea is organice which is important to me. Jasmine is my favorite tea which I have every day.

I appreciate that this tea is USDA Organic. This is a fresh and soothing green tea scented with the enchanting aroma of jasmine blossoms. Green tea has so many health benefits too!
Rishi Tea

Love Rishi tea. After it every other brand tastes "blah" . My very favourite one is the Jasmine Dragon Pearls. I also like white peony, ginger tumeric and blueberry Rooiboos. I use individual infusers to make the tea and even carry a wire mesh ball infuser with me so I can have my own tea at lunchtime.

I really like this tea and have ordered it numerous times from iherb
amazing taste

this tea is amazing. It has an authentic and significant jasmine smell and taste. I was surprised by intensity of the jasmine in this. It also doesn't get bitter or overly dark if I over steep which is surprising. I love, love, love this tea. My only disappointment is that I paid around $5.25 ish the last time I ordered it a few months ago (I ordered a few boxes). Now its $8.50! Not sure how often I will be buying it now :-( really disappointing.
