Subject thereto, if the Company fails to deliver the Products (or any instalment) for any reason other than any cause beyond the Company's reasonable control or the Customer's fault, and the Company is accordingly found liable to the Customer notwithstanding the above exclusion of liability, the Company's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Customer (in the cheapest available market) of similar products to replace those not delivered over the price of the Products.
7.7 All requests by the customer to reschedule or cancel all or part of any order for products shall be invalid except if agreed to in writing by Company.

Chicken Cassoulet with Fennel and Sausage
Celebrity chef Curtis Stone puts a special spin on roast chicken, braising it in an aromatic sauce with beans and fennel, then topping it with crispy, cheesy bread crumbs.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- Four 10- to 12-ounce whole chicken legs
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium fennel bulb—halved, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced rosemary
- 2 teaspoons minced thyme
- 2 teaspoons ground fennel
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup panko
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 450°. On a rimmed baking sheet, brush the chicken legs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Leave the oven on.
Meanwhile, in a large, deep ovenproof skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sausage and cook over moderately high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until nearly cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the onion, fennel and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and ground fennel and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the stock and beans and bring to a boil.
Nestle the chicken legs in the stew and sprinkle the panko and cheese evenly on top. Bake the cassoulet in the upper third of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbling and the topping is crisp. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Make Ahead
The chicken cassoulet can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Suggested Pairing
No need to overthink the pairing for this savory dish—it can easily go with most reds or whites.

Pressestimmen'...Mussett and Khan have not only succeeded in providing a broad introduction to geophysics for the non-specialist, but have managed to do so in a book that is consistently readable, clear and concise.' C. Mac Niocaill, Mineralogical Magazine ' ... a well-written textbook which in its style and content provides a first class, sharp and well-focused introduction to geological geophysics. A very thorough and readable introduction to the principles and practice of exploration and solid earth geophysics ... gives the best coverage of geophysical case studies published to date ... deserves the highest recommendation. ... an excellent text for undergraduates in the Earth Sciences.' Professor Norman Hamilton, University of Southampton '... uses a fresh, insightful, and comprehensive approach to overview geophysical methods and concepts. The treatment of this broad subject is thorough but is clearly written and does not get bogged down in details and mathematics. The illustrations are excellent.' Professor G. Randy Keller, University of Texas, El Paso '... the most readable geologically oriented geophysical text on the market.' Professor Mike Dentith, University of Western Australia '... an ambitious and impressive achievement, a successful overview of the whole field of solid earth geophysics from the smallest to the global scale. Logically structured and clearly written, the material is presented at a level accessible to the geological student with a limited physics and mathematics background. However it contains a wealth of information and comment and will unquestionably prove of value and interest to a much wider readership.' Professor D. H. Griffiths, University of Birmingham 'A clear, well illustrated text which usefully applies the principles examined.' Mineral Planning '... an excellent introductory textbook in geophysics departments.' Europe and Astronomy '... a terrific beginner's guide to the methods and applications of solid earth geophysics ... I recommend this book as an undergraduate text for prospective geophysicists, as background reading for introductory geophysics classes at the graduate level, and as a great reference for anyone working with geophysicists or planning to do so.' Rick Saltus, The Leading Edge '... catered for a much wider audience ... I would think that anybody tackling third level courses might well find this a very useful adjunct ... the book does cover, one way or another, just about every aspect of earth science, for there are applications for geophysics that had not previously occurred to me ... Good book. Read it.' Jennifer S. Holt, OUGS Journal '... more than an aid to learning, it is an advert for its subject, and should interest and appeal to a wide readership ... It should be on the shelves of every library, geophysics teacher and anyone taking an introductory course in geophysics, or who wants a sound readable introduction to the subject of geophysics on all its facets.' R. W. England, Geological Magazine 'For the instructor seeking an introductory text that is comprehensive in terms of global as well as applied geophysics, and at the same time, mathematically accessible to the non-geophysics major, this text is an excellent choice.'

—Michael Brockers went down with a lower leg injury on the last play of the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens. Brockers was caught in a 'high-low' block on a stretch play. The injury has since been diagnosed as a high ankle sprain, and will sideline the rookie defensive tackle for a month.
—In just his second season, Robert Quinn appears to have matured into the player the Rams hoped he would be when they drafted him with the 14th overall pick in 2010. The defensive end laid out for two punts and a batted pass Thursday, showing his potential impact on special teams entering the season. Quinn also has three sacks and two forced fumbles with one recovery.
—Quarterback Sam Bradford led two 90+ yard touchdown drives, finishing the preseason completing 30 of 51 passes for 398 yards, five touchdowns and (more importantly) no interceptions.
—Kicker Greg Zuerlein tested the waters from 62 yards out, but fell short of the crossbar. Zuerlein prepared for the kick as though there would be a strong rush but Baltimore relented, possibly accounting for the less-than five yards of differential. 'Young GZ', as he's been anointed by teammates, later hit a 59-yarder less than a minute into the fourth with a little room to spare, so the potential to make one from 60 is there.
—The Rams' D seem to be content taking a bend-but-don't-break approach to the season, struggling against the Ravens backups although the scoreboard said otherwise. The rushing attack of Baltimore moved the ball easily against the Rams' starters early on, as running back Bernard Pierce rushed for 27 yards on eight carries. Pierce consistently found his way to the edge, much like the runners St. Louis faced throughout August. However, the bad tackling that plagued the home team the first three weeks was shored up; the Rams' defense held up on several big third-down attempts to keep Baltimore from entering the red zone. Quarterback Curtis Painter also recorded 193 yards and two touchdowns in the passing game, but the Rams' approach looked effective against the aerial attack as well by forcing three interceptions.
—Arguably the most interesting duel this preseason has gone down to the wire: the competition between rookies Isaiah Pead and Daryl Richardson for the backup running back slot. Richardson has almost certainly been the biggest surprise in Rams camp, showing patience and burst in each preseason game against starters and backups alike. On the other hand, the more-heralded Pead initially hadn't proven worthy of the second-round pick he was chosen with in April, but made visible improvements in each game.
Pead may also have been fueled by Richardson seeing the field before him against Baltimore, recording his best game of camp with 58 yards on 10 carries. The Cincinnati product had a highlight quality 28-yard run at the end of the third quarter, showing all of his tools by hitting the hole, bouncing to the sidelines while stiff-arming a defender, and finishing by lowering his shoulder into an approaching safety while being pushed out of bounds. Richardson — the Rams' seventh-round choice — continued to run hard and embrace contact between the tackles, refusing to flee to the outside like smaller backs tend to do.
—Backup quarterback Kellen Clemens shorted receiver Brian Quick on a jump fade attempt on the play following the two-minute warning in the second quarter. Danny Gorrer of Baltimore intercepted the pass in the end zone to end yet another impressive Rams drive. Clemens' recent performances may give way to another position battle entering the regular season with rookie Austin Davis, who has maintained a stellar camp throughout.

The 256-foot-long yacht ordered by Apple founder Steve Jobs before he died in 2011 glided into the Intracoastal this week, and docked at the Rybovich Marina in West Palm Beach.
A Gossip Extra reader sent this photo of the $140 million-behemoth, a cross between a 100-year-old riverboat and modern James Bond villain lair, as it passed the northern tip of Palm Beach Monday.
Supergeek Jobs never got to see the light-weight all-aluminum ship, Venus. It was only released from its Amsterdam boatyard in December, months after Jobs passed away of cancer.
— Grand Ambition: The story of Fort Lauderdale's biggest yacht!
Venus, which has 10-foot windows on the main deck, was the object of a dispute between Jobs' heirs and the builders, who briefly impounded it in December.
Most of the ship's functions and navigation are controlled by seven iMacs.
A port source said the ship has been cruising the Caribbean but is supposed to relocate on the California coast over the summer.

La Cave d'Azur a taste of France in Miami Beach
The joie de vivre of St. Tropez meets South Beach at La Cave d'Azur, the storefront wine cellar of Villa Azur. Sit at one of the high top tables in the small space with stone floors and surrounded by temperature-controlled glass cases filled with bottles or dine al fresco. The menu of small dishes is supplemented with plats du jour listed on a chalkboard.
The same French partners and long-time friends who run Villa Azur are behind the cellar. Jean-Phillipe Bernard, a restaurant and club manager, actor Olivier Martinez and Miami-based nightclub promoter Michael Martin wanted to create a neighborhood place where locals could grab a bite with wine. Artist Patrick Constantin, a native of Aix-en-Provence, is the manager with the help of Catalina Carracedo, who is also the accountant and wife of Jean-Philippe.
Daytime chef Jean-Francois Treguilly turns out specials like Little Neck clams steamed in white wine, monkfish with peppers and corn and strawberry éclairs available a la carte, or as a three-course meal. Bruschetta toast trios are topped with grilled veggies and pecorino or pesto, mozzarella and diced tomato. The charcuterie assortment includes house-made pate, bresaola, saucisson sec, rosette de Lyon salami, foie gras terrine and ham with onion confit and cornichons. The cheese board has Camembert, Emmental, gorgonzola and Roquefort with walnuts, perfect with a glass of Chateau de Marres Rose from the South of France. There's also steak or tuna tartar and sea bream ceviche formed in cakes served on greens.
Taste the sweet life with hazelnut mousse or raspberry macarons.

Arverne Man Sentenced For Killing Ex's Boyfriend
An Arverne man was sentenced to 17 ½-years-to-life in prison for the October 2003 murder of his ex-girlfriend new beau, Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown announced.
Sean Harris, 37, pleaded guilty on August 15 to murder in the second degree before Queens Supreme Court Justice Robert J. Hanophy. Harris, a maintenance worker, lived at 54-30 Beach Channel Drive.
Harris admitted that on October 25, 2003, at about 1:40 a.m. he fired a loaded .38 caliber revolver twice, fatally shooting Michael McCoy, 36, in the chest. The murder took place inside the defendant's ex-girlfriend's Ravenswood Housing Development.
"The defendant acknowledged that he was responsible for violently taking the life of a 36-year-old man. The imposed prison sentence reflects the gravity of his offense," said Brown.

I should have jointed this chatroom about a year ago when I first started my project. Unfortunately I'm a do nothing myselfer and I've been paying a young guy I know to help rehab my first HUD home. He tackled nearly part of the house with me. I'm always curious about the prices he gives me on various jobs. As we're finishing up, the latest is endeavor is thresholds.
He's customizing pieces of left over pine to fit four threshold areas throughout my house. He's charging me $20/a piece. Only thing I have to do is stain them first. Am i being ripped off or is that reasonable?
This is the same guy who rocked my entire 1600 sq. foot house for $500 so I always give him the benefit of the doubt with pricing
If he custom milled thresholds for you at $20 each, you got a bargain. I will say though that pine is a poor choice of material. It is too soft and will wear quickly. Oak is a much better choice (and is the thaditional material).
What's his phone number? I'll hire him!
I'd suggest oak, maple etc for thresholds too
I agree with RJ and Mr Gins...You got a good deal!
As far as the material used goes; yes, oak and maple are more durable
but your pine thresholds will give you years of service. ...Maybe the edges will
wear faster than a harder wood but all in all, it should look fine. They do still
use pine for flooring. It just gets that warm used rustic feeling to it.

@retropumpLocale: The Antipodes of La Coruna
Personally I wouldn't bother with the North Island, but I suspect a lot of North Islanders might disagree with me! Only other advice I can give is to come prepared for all seasons, no matter what time of year you make the trip. Maybe cut your teeth on a couple of the Great Walks (Routeburn, Abel Tasman, Heaphy) and then go more off the beaten track if you are comfortable after that.
NZ looks a small place on a global map, but there is a lifetime worth of exploration in these small islands. The biggest challenge is what to see and do in a limited amount of time.Sep 19, 2012 at 9:19 pm #1913924
Thanks Barry and Lynn for the info. @ Barry, I'm looking for a hike between 7-10 days that would cover 10-12 miles a day, no kayaking, or pack rafting at this time. I would like to camp on the trail vs huts if possible. Moderate hiking with lots of great views, that shouldn't be to hard, it all looks gorgeous to me, The pics at the begining of that thread you posted look amazing, the one looking down at the huge valley/river is great. I'm probably looking somewhere between March through November, after that work won't allow me any time off. Hope this helps narrow it down for you.
Thanks, JackSep 20, 2012 at 3:08 pm #1914131

@retropumpLocale: The Antipodes of La Coruna
I would suggest, if possible, you aim for March/April. These are usually the most settled months in terms of weather.
Two good scenarios I can think of in terms of 7-10 days with camping: either link the Routeburn with the Rees/Dart tracks, or the Heaphy and Abel Tasman. The first option is mostly alpine, whereas the second takes in a range of NZ terrain from subtropical to Alpine. Depends on whether you prefer sweeping mountain vistas or lush tropical flora and beaches. These are all pretty busy tracks, so if you are looking to really get off the beaten track, there are plenty of other choices. But honestly, with such a short time to walk, I would stick to the high impact/easy logistic options of the Great Walks.Sep 30, 2012 at 3:56 pm #1916948

@nzbazzaLocale: New Zealand
I agree with what Lynn says , except for the bit about the North Island :) (since I live there).
For fantastic moderate tramping check out the Great Walks, although booking is often required (for a price), and camping can be limited. I've listed some other trips below to consider as well.
Since you are in NZ during March to November remember that is autumn to spring here. The best months are definitely March through to May, then October-November. In the South Island unless you like snow, thats probably your lot. In the North Island, there is much less snow, however the there still is the same amount of water falling out of the sky, so you'll need to deal with lots of rain and mud.
The tramping hut network in NZ is awesome, most huts apart from the high-end serviced huts are $6/night and provide great shelter from the storms that often blow through. the huts usually have some sort of fire, and bunks/sleeping platforms with mattresses, and a water supply. You can get a 6 month hut pass that allows unlimited use of the huts for about $90, so if you are planning on more than 15 nights use of huts then it's a bargain.
Along with what Lynn has already suggested and the Great Walks, in the North Island consider:
– a 3-4 day loop through Whirinaki Forest Park
– Mt Taranaki Round the Mountain track
– Either loops including Sunrise hut or Rangaiwahia hut in the Ruahine Forest Park
– ANYTHING in the Tararua Forest Park but especially Holdsworth/Jumbo loop, any of the northern, middle or southern crossings, and from Otaki Forks a loop along the Main Range taking in a climb to Kime, along the ridge, over the Tararua Peaks to Maungahuka, keep following the ridge to Junction Knob then down to Waitewaewae, then back following the river to Otaki Forks. This trip over 4-5 days would certainly give you a grounding in the variety of NZ tramping in the birthplace of trmpaing in NZ.
In the South Island consider:
– Queen Charlotte Walkway
– combining the Heaphy with the Wangapeka Track
– Follow the Te Araroa Route through the Richmond Range
– The Sabine/Travers loop through Nelson Lakes NP with side trips to Blue lake and Lake Angelus
– the Matukituki valley with side trips in Mt Aspiring NP
– the Hollyford
Along with these longer trips there are so many moderate trips of 2-3 days that I just don't have time to write about here. As pointed above, you can live in NZ all your life and only scratch the surface with whats available.
Some other places for info:
website of the govternment department responsible for looking after the national and forest parks.
NZ forum for trampers.
Also there are plenty of books with lists of trips. 101 great tramps, X marks the spot are two that come to mind.
If you have any more questions just ask away.

These activities promote health, prevent chronic disease and address issues such as substance abuse and the spread of infectious diseases.
Health Canada is a catalyst for innovation, a funder, and an information provider in Canada's health system. It works closely with provincial and territorial governments to develop national approaches on health system issues and promotes the pan-Canadian adoption of best practices. It administers the Canada Health Act, which embodies national principles to ensure a universal and equitable publicly-funded health care system. It provides policy support for the federal government's Canada Health Transfer to provinces and territories, and provides funding through grants and contributions to various organizations to help meet Health Canada's objectives. Lastly, the Department draws on leading-edge science and policy research to generate and share knowledge and information to support decision-making by Canadians, development and implementation of regulations and standards, and health innovation.
More information on Health Canada activities, plans and performance are detailed in the Departmental Performance Report.

Paris Soul Café Gala: Gospel Edition
Local Inspirations Hailed: Grammy Award Winning Vocalist and Community Leaders that include Pastors, Katrina Relief members and sports media publicists.
NEW ORLEANS—Saturday, March, 15, 2014—Paris Soul Café unites once more! This event, appropriately designated the "Gospel Extravaganza", hails the achievements of five incredible members of the New Orleans community.
Paris Soul Café cordially invites you to participate in our newest and sure to be memorable gala. This time, PSC will be honoring five of New Orleans' most prestigious men and women who have served as a beacon of light to our community. Each honoree has persevered through very tough industries in their own right and include: Grammy award winning vocalist, Irma Thomas; Executive Director of Common Ground Relief, Tom Pepper; Pastor of Marine and Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Donald Robinson; Sports Media Publicist, Johnathan "JT" Thomas; and Franklin Avenue Baptist Church Youth Pastor, Fred Chip Luter III. Paris Soul Cafe will be hosted by WWL'S Eric Paulsen & Q93's Wild Wayne.
Created and produced by New Orleans singer and songwriter Paris Harris; Paris Soul Café offers a venue for local artists to showcase their talents and be honored for their contributions to the community. Ms. Harris made sure to keep this event in New Orleans East, as a reminder to the community that this vital part of the city shall not be forgotten. "Remember, New Orleans East is comprised of approximately 40% of the City of New Orleans" she recalls, from a recent conversation with Councilman James Gray, whom is scheduled to attend this event located within his district.
"Paris Soul Café is more than tributes and performances," Harris explains, "It's an opportunity for our honorees to share their experiences and lessons learned. Our goal is to entertain, inspire and inform."
Festival Production's C.E.O Quint Davis said it best, He said, "What I like about Paris Soul Cafe is that it gives one the opportunity to smell their roses why they can actually enjoy it."
Originally an open-mic night for poets and R&B singers, Paris Soul Café has expanded to showcase and honor actors, singers, sports heroes, reporters, leaders, entrepreneurs and a diverse group of entertainers. It graciously combines an awards ceremony with live music, modern mixes, drinks and now a gourmet buffet following the ceremony. "You'll get to meet those being honored," Paris reiterates, "We, as New Orleanians, must strive

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
In the final weeks of the season, I feel like mixing things up around here. So, for the one kajillionth time (yeah, it's a number, trust me), I am adopting a new format to my wrap-up. Some live by the motto of "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Yeah, I think Shakespeare said it best with "I'm bored of the same old s**t". Yes Shakespeare said it…it is somewhere in Titus Andronicus.
Everyone's favorite purple-lipped, frosted tip, steroid-taking infielder landed on the 15-day DL with a calf strain. A-Rod was hoping to avoid a DL stint, but the injury was severe enough to warrant such a decision.
We here in Boston know the scoop, but for the rest of you, you should know that Pedroia's heel injury is still acting up and he was rushed back to action too soon. He too is on the 15-day DL.
Hey, remember when everyone was pissed of when Slowey was pulled from his no-hit bid because manager Ron Gardenhire didn't want his newly returned starter to be at risk of injury? Yeah, well now who's laughing? Well, Slowey isn't laughing since he left his latest start with a tricep injury and he is back on the DL.
A.J. led all catchers with 9 hits and 6 RBI, going 9/22 for the week, including 4 doubles and his third stolen base of the season. After a .205 July, Pierzynski is hitting .309 in 14 August games.
I know we have to travel back to 2006, where Overbay was fantasy relevant, but he is trying to get some attention lately. The lefty recently unloaded in Toronto's series against Boston, leading to his monster 10 RBI week. Overbay added to other categories with 7 runs scored, .316 avg, and 3 home runs. Believe it or not, Overbay has had .500+ SLG in two straight months.
There has been no hotter infielder over the past few weeks than Infante. Recently, he went 13/30 with 9 runs, 3 HR, 5 RBI, and 1 SB. He has hit safely in 23 of his last 24 games and has hit .378 since the break.
Betemit has had trouble getting regular playing time, but he made the most of it last week with a line of 8/21, 6 R, 3 HR, and 7 RBI. Despite limited play, Betemit has hit .346 in 156 at-bats this season.
Betancourt gets another mention in this section with his sizzling 3 HR and 10 RBI week. Betancourt's August (6 HR, 16 RBI) have vaulted him near the top of the shortstops rankings in the second half.
Pierre was a stolen base machine in his day, and now he is on his way to regaining his crown. Pierre swiped four bases last week to increase his league-leading total to 49. In addition to his steals, Pierre went 13/31 with 3 runs and 3 RBI
Since being acquired from Arizona in the offseason, Scherzer's season has been hot and cold. Fortunately, he is red hot now. Recently, he has gone 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA and sizzling 9.69 K/9. Scherzer's ERA in his last seven starts is a minuscule 1.80.

Dear McKinnie:
I just sent you a bag of Bic Macs to celebrate.
Welcome back, man.
Now if we can get Gains ready in two years or sooner and have him and
KO on the left side - WOW!
His weight has to be ok now and in reasonable condition to get 2 other offers
I disagree. Oher was intended as the Blind Side guy from the second Ozzie turned
the card in. Joe needed weapons but Oz went with protection instead. He failed
miserably at LT so he remains at RT where he is much better.
We have our bookends. Those were DeCosta's words AirFlacco.
Starting to look like San Francisco will be losing another Super Bowl to the Ravens next year too! Hopefully we figure out who is replacing Boldin soon.
Only play one on board for own bemusement--or, as Chermans zay, Schitzengigls. :laugh:
Yours truthily,
Никлаи Иванович Лобачевский
One man deserves the credit,
One man deserves the blame,
And Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name!
Oy, indeed...:nerd:

In the spring of 1977, the Sex Pistols changed record labels to sign with A&M Records in a ceremony held outside Buckingham Palace. It was not the most orthodox of business transactions. The group's previous label, EMI, had released it from its contract after a string of unsavoury episodes – not least the infamous interview ("The Filth and the Fury"), in which members of the band swore fruitily on primetime television.
These were the days when record labels were respectable parts of the cultural establishment, carefully balancing the youthful vigour of their acts with the gentle sensibilities of their constituents. The balance was tipped when EMI's workers refused to handle the group's splenetic single "Anarchy in the UK". You can't shift units if you can't shift units.
The celebrations back at the offices of A&M, following the Buckingham Palace revels, were raucous. More unsavoury episodes unravelled before executives whose self-satisfaction was quickly turning to a sense of foreboding. Days later, Johnny Rotten became a little too aggressive with a friend of one of the label's directors. A few more days later, A&M, too, broke its contract with the band. It destroyed most of the pressed copies of the group's new single "God Save the Queen". Those that were preserved have become valuable collectors' items. The Pistols, in the meantime, were named young businessmen of that turbulent year by Investors Review.
I was reminded of those clamorous events on hearing of the forthcoming selling exhibition of works by Banksy at Sotheby's auction house in London. Here, too, there is the flavour – much diluted by the passing of time – of culture shock. The anonymous and subversive urban artist cannot have imagined himself displayed in such august surroundings. Street art was not meant to take place in or around Bond Street.
And yet here they are, all those images that are among the most recognisable and reproduced of our time: the kissing policemen, the ladies bowling bombs, the starving child wearing a Burger King crown. Pungent images, produced quickly and wittily, celebrations of evanescence, are now corralled into an institution that is devoted to – indeed relies upon – the enduring power and attraction of high art. The show is entirely unauthorised by the artist himself. But his early friend and former dealer Steve Lazarides, who has curated it, revels in the event's improbability.
"Of course it is a complete paradox," he tells me on an unclear phone line from the Scottish Highlands, where he is birdwatching, miles away from any street at all. "Everyone thought it was a fad, that it would never last. And I remember the days when we couldn't sell a signed print by Banksy for love or money." Sotheby's says it expects some of the 70 works on show to sell for north of £1m.
To give the exhibition a further air of danger, the auction house has allowed Lazarides to decorate its gallery by letting him loose with a paint-filled fire extinguisher. "I just asked and they said yes," the gallerist explains. "I felt like a fox inside a chicken coop. I really don't like whitewall galleries. I did it because I could. I was trying to capture the spirit in which that art was produced."
. . .
Two important points argue against the comparison of the scandals of 1977 with the show opening next week. First, Banksy is not the Sex Pistols. His tone is more acerbic than outraged; although he has serious points to make, they are made playfully and knowingly. As Lazarides says in his catalogue notes: "That is what Banksy is good at, seeing things in unexpected places that make people smile." Whatever reaction the Sex Pistols provoked back in the day, anything as bland as a smile was not among them. The filth and the fury felt real.
Second, Sotheby's – and indeed all the auction houses, and all the commercial branches of the art world – are not A&M Records. They have long realised that to be abreast of the contemporary art scene, along with all its ersatz shock tactics, is simply good business. Outrage sells. There has appeared, over the past couple of decades, a perfect symbiosis of interests between the business of art and the daring of artists. There is no friction between them.
The ability of cultural institutions to embrace any kind of statement or movement that criticises the society from which they come has been one of the dominant phenomena of 21st-century culture. The positive side of this is that the artist is getting his or her message heard. Adversity is fashionable, cultural critique collectable. The negative view is that the impact of such art is reduced in direct proportion to its mass acceptance. Assimilation leads to ultimate insignificance.
We should give the last word to Banksy. One of the prints on sale at Sotheby's is "Morons": an illustration of an auction in which the crowd is bidding for a piece of work that simply bears the words: "I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit". The work was originally produced in response to the unexpectedly successful sale of some works by Banksy at a previous sale at Sotheby's. Disentangle that little bundle of ironies, and you get the gist of where the art world likes to graze right now: far from the filth, far from the fury, and far from the street.

The Public Transport Revolution – Why does it never Arrive?
Since the oil spike in the early seventies, enthusiasts for public transport have predicted that high prices for petrol would trigger a public transport revolution as people finally broke their "addiction" to the motor car and changed their travel mode to buses and trains.
Since then, price bubbles have increased public transport use, and lowered car miles traveled. But these changes have proved to be short-lived. More drive more. read more »

Los Angeles: The MTA's Bus Stop Strategy
Those who run the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority evidently believe that, since the Consent Decree that forced it to improve service to its bus riders has expired, they are free to rewrite history to justify Metro's elimination of nine bus lines, its reductions in service on eleven more, and its overall elimination of four percent of its bus service hours by attempting to show that MTA bus service is little utilized and not cost-effective. read more »

The End of the Line: Ambitious High-speed Rail Program Hits the Buffer of Fiscal Reality
A well-intentioned but quixotic presidential vision to make high-speed rail service available to 80 percent of Americans in 25 years is being buffeted by a string of reversals. And, like its British counterpart, the London-to-Birmingham high speed rail line (HS2), it is the subject of an impassioned debate. Called by congressional leaders "an absolute disaster," and a "poor investment," the President's ambitious initiative is unraveling at the hands of a deficit-conscious Congress, fiscally-strapped states, reluctant private railroad companies and a skeptical public. read more »
NY Borough to Borough Commute? Fuhgeddaboudit
As the country's largest and densest metropolis, New York City has been able to offer a level of public transit service that most other cities can only dream about. Commuting to Downtown or Midtown Manhattan has been—and still is to a large degree—a remarkably easy affair for hundreds of thousands of residents, whose travel options include commuter train, subway, ferry and bus. However, like a lot of older American cities, New York has changed dramatically since most of those services were put into place, and more and more residents, particularly among lower-income workers, no longer travel to Manhattan for work.
Census data show that between 1990 and 2008 the number of residents who traveled to work in their own borough or a neighboring borough or county increased much faster than the number who made the more traditional commute to Manhattan. read more »
The High Speed Rail Battle of Britain
A high speed rail battle is brewing in Great Britain, not unlike the controversies that have lit up the political switchboard in the United States over the past six months.

My brother-in-law just got a new lap top with Windows 7 installed. There isn't a Outlook Express mail program that came with it. Somebody said you have to purchase it from Microsoft Office for $70. Isn't there a place were I can get it for him free?
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
(Solved) - outlook express missing in Windows 7(4 posts)
Happy Holidays,
Rick P.
I read thru all those posts but my main question is there a way to get outlook express free to put into Windows 7. I'm from the old school and hate change.. lol
Outlook Express was replaced in Vista with Windows Mail, which works basicly the same, but isn't dependent on the browser (IE).
With Windows Mail it is possible to copy it to 7 and then use it there. I don't know if the same is possible for OE, but you might give it a try anyways;)
Make sure you make a good backup (an image) before you make any changes - better yet: make sure you make regular backups anyway. If you have 7 Ultimate there is an inbuild option to create an image as a backup, but you can also use Macrium Reflect. There is a tutorial on how to use it with a download link
Merry Christmas,

Premier Anna Bligh says two engineers who were in charge of Wivenhoe Dam during last summer's flooding of Brisbane and Ipswich have shown courage by stepping aside from their roles.
Senior flood engineers John Tibaldi and Terry Malone, who both testified at the state's reconvened floods inquiry last week, have taken special leave.
Ms Bligh says the step is not an admission of guilt and no hint of blame should be attached to them in any way.
"Let me make it very clear, these engineers have not been stood down. They have stood themselves aside from their duties as dam engineers," Ms Bligh told reporters on the Gold Coast.
"I think people can understand these people are professionals, but they're also human beings. These sort of events like commissions of inquiry can be very high pressure and very stressful.
"They are on special leave, they have not been sacked, they have not been stood aside by the organisation. Frankly, they've done probably the right thing as professionals and made a judgment that right now is not the best time for them to be in a high-pressure situation, potentially managing a dam in flood."
The premier said SEQWater has recruited one replacement and the second replacement was about to be announced.
Ms Bligh said the authority had five other engineers, the dam was not in flood and there was no urgency in the matter.
"Given the scale and size of the disaster that we faced in January last year, given the thousands of people who were affected by it, I think it was inevitable that this inquiry would be dealing with very sensitive, very high-pressure, very difficult questions," Ms Bligh said.
"I don't think there is any surprise that there are a number of controversies being explored in the inquiry and its work.
"Frankly I set it up because I wanted it to get to the truth and that is what it is doing," she said.
Mr Tibaldi, the lead author of a report branded a fiction at the inquiry, stepped aside on Friday after finishing his testimony.
Mr Malone, who testified on Sunday that no contemporary records on water releases were kept during last year's flood – in breach of dam manual requirements – followed suit on Monday.
Natural Resources Minister Rachel Nolan was asked on Tuesday if the public would perceive the development as an indication of guilt.
"I don't think people should reach that conclusion," she told AAP.
She said the men has not resigned and remained employees of SEQWater, but were not currently on the job in any capacity with the government authority.
"Making themselves unavailable is a fairer description," she told AAP.
"I think the ordinary person can see what a difficult and gruelling exercise going through these commission proceedings is," Ms Nolan said.
Asked if the engineers were stressed by facing the inquiry, the minister said: "I won't comment about them specifically, but I will say I think people can see undoubtedly it's a stressful situation."
She said they could resume their roles in the future.
During hearings last week, counsel assisting the inquiry Peter Callaghan said Mr Tibaldi's final report for SEQWater on how the dam was operated was a work of fiction.
He said it was created at the end of January after the floods, to give the false impression that water release strategies were chosen at the time of the flood event.
The dam's operating manual requires the adoption of a water release strategy at the time of a flood, but Mr Callaghan said Wivenhoe's engineers failed to do that.
A finding by the inquiry that the dam's manual was breached could expose the government to a massive compensation claim.
Mr Callaghan said the engineers only realised the requirement later and then colluded to give a false impression of events.
Mr Tibaldi has denied misleading the inquiry and creating a false report.
He broke down twice during his evidence as he described the fatigue and pressure he was under as the flood disaster unfolded.
Mr Malone, in his evidence, told the inquiry that keeping a contemporary record of water release strategies was "too time-consuming".
He said no run sheets were kept detailing the exact time water-release strategies were activated last January.
But he said engineers were now following that practice and logging water release strategies as flood events unfold.
Both men told the inquiry engineers had done the best they could as the disaster unfolded.
During his testimony, Mr Malone also admitted to joking in an email to Mr Tibaldi about signing his house over to his wife if a peer review of a dam operation report was bad.
Mr Tibaldi has told the inquiry the right water-release strategy - aimed at protecting urban areas - was being used on the weekend before Brisbane and Ipswich flooded.
The government is legally obliged to fill the two engineer's positions quickly.
Former Sunwater chief executive officer Peter Noonan will temporarily fill one role and another is being urgently sought.
Deputy opposition leader Tim Nicholls said the minister still had many questions to answer.
"Have the engineers been suspended by the government, did they voluntarily seek to be suspended from their duties," he told the ABC.
"These are questions that still haven't been answered and they certainly seem to be a distraction from the evidence that has been presented, which showed the premier was intimately briefed about the operation of the dam."
SEQWater said the engineers had taken "special leave".
"Both engineers have taken special leave after indicating separately to SEQWater that they are unable to continue in their roles as senior flood engineers at present," it said in a statement.
"However both engineers are available to continue to assist the Commission of Inquiry if required."

Vargas wants more time for students
Nicole Vargas, aunt of two Berrendo Middle School students, said she was uncomfortable with her niece and nephew returning to school [auth] Thursday.
She said her seventh-grade nephew was injured by shrapnel in the shooting and that her eighth-grade niece witnessed him being injured.
"They're not going to send our babies back to school on Thursday," she said.
Vargas said she started a petition asking the district to cancel school at Berrendo until Monday or whatever time parents indicate their children are ready to return.
Superintendent Tom Burris said parents "have their right" to keep kids at home if they choose.
He said one reason Berrendo will start school again Thursday is because regular routines should be cathartic for students.
"I think that for a lot of those kids, back to normalcy is going to be a good thing," he said.
Counselors will be on campus Thursday to work with students, he said.
Suspect Apprehended After Shots Fired at Berrendo Middle School Shooting
The Record has confirmed that the shooter was a juvenile. The incident occurred in the school's gymnasium between 7 and 8 a.m.
A 14-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl were transported to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center for treatment. The boy has been taken to University Hospital in Lubbock and the girl is in transit to the hospital.
A student was shot in the face, according to two witnesses. One student died, according to two other witnesses.
New Mexico State Police are investigating the event and have not yet provided an official statement.
The suspect is in custody.

Padre's Greenlands plan
A formidable British raiding party, including last year's winner Hitchens, could take on David Marnane's Santo Padre in Saturday's Greenlands Stakes.
Last Updated: 22/05/12 10:48am
David Marnane intends to let a back-to-form Santo Padre take his chance in Saturday's Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh.
There is plenty of strength in depth to the entries for the Group Three sprint as Aidan O'Brien has entered a clutch of interesting three-year-olds against their elders with Crusade, Power, Nephrite and Reply in his team.
Last year's winner Hitchens, trained by David Barron, forms part of a formidable British representation alongside Royal Rock, Alben Star, Bated Breath, Definightly, Morache Music, Jimmy Styles, Tiddliwinks, Mayson, Bannock and Bogart.
Trainer Buoyed
Santo Padre was third, beaten just under three lengths by Hitchens and Tiddliwinks 12 months ago and his trainer has been buoyed by the fact the gelding claimed his first win since the 2009 Portland Handicap when pulling away in the Woodlands Stakes at Naas.
"The plan was to go for the Listed race and then for this, so hopefully we'll get some nice ground," said Marnane.
"He ran some good races last year, he was also second at Haydock, even though we were never quite happy with him.
"He's come out of his last run well and I'd like to think he could run a good race."
