Who Are You? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Well, the nation's premier TV event of the year, the Super Bowl, took place last night. At halftime, the biggest question in viewers' minds was not whether the Saints could rally from a 10-6 deficit. It was who are those really old guys singing on stage?
Turns out it was Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, the last surviving members of an ancient rock band called The Who that first performed for King Louis XIV of France. This continued the NFL's hallowed tradition of booking geriatric acts for its half-time show, a tradition that has included such musical legends as Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Glenn Miller, George Gershwin, and Ludwig von Beethoven.
The highlight of the show was the band's reprise of their landmark hit, "My Generation," most of whom are dead by now. The updated lyrics brought the Grump to tears.
Can't stand up after I sit down
Talking 'bout my generation
Use a scooter to get around
Talking 'bout my generation
Don't remember the words to tunes
Talking 'bout my generation
Guess I'll eat a few more prunes
Talking 'bout my my generation, baby
Sounds like you just f-f-f-fade away
Talking 'bout my generation
Can't hear a single word you say
I don't know but I been told
Talking 'bout my generation
I didn't die, I just got old.
The true irony of the show is when they sang, "Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?", most people watching really did wanna know. Who are those guys?
No matter. The NFL was so pleased that both geezers managed to get through the set without grabbing their sides and collapsing on the floor that they've gone ahead and signed another time-honored group for next year's Super Bowl.
Give it up for "Edgar Allen Poe & the Ravens."

Gregg Echols, a 44 year old male from Phoenix asks on August 12, 2003,What are the temperatures reached at the focused point of a magnifying glass, when using the sun as the power source? I know it would probably change, depending on the magnification factor of the lens, so there should be a lower end and higher end, reflecting the different strengths of the lenses. I haven't been able to find any type of chart, index, or temperature scale showing these values.

There is an upper limit to how hot a solar furnace can get. It is the temperature of the surface of the sun. Thermodynamic law says that energy cannot flow from a colder object to a hotter object (even with a lens between them). So the upper limit of a solar furnace is is 6,000 C. See the Physics Fact Book. That is still pretty hot and it is possible to melt steel at that temperature. So the real question is how much energy is coming from the sun to a particular square area at the surface of the Earth. That depends on the latitude, season, time of day, and cloud cover. It can get pretty technical. You can find the instructions for building a solar furnace at Bill Beatty's Hombrew Science page. Be careful! The Sun is hot. You could injure yourself or light your house on fire if you leave a section of a focussing collector lying around uncovered.

I can't believe HRM wasted ink on such a pile of crap! It's WWE with cars with just a little bit of interesting info on the cars. I tried to watch it but just could not take it. Who needs all the drama BS about racing on the street when it would so much more interesting to just have a shootout at a track and showcase the cars. If these cars can run in the 6's then lets see it. Every car at a cruise night is at least a 10 second car (till it gets to the track)
Working on a new project since I sold that red 38. Converting a Troyer asphalt modified to a street roadster
All it will take is one fatality and the media will be all over it. Hot Rod needs to keep a large distance from this street racing issue.

Cream Puffs with Nutella Pastry Cream
Yes, it's been long overdue. It's about time we baked something for the Dessert section of our blog – something wonderful and light, like cream puffs! This is actually a dessert I enjoy eating, so it was fitting that we attempted our own version at home. Originally, we were going to make eclairs, but I figure cream puffs would be a good starting point to my first time making pâte à chou which is French for a light pastry dough. Five simple ingredients of butter, water, flour, salt, and eggs creates the puffed pastry for profiteroles, eclairs, and cream puffs. Since we just recently bought an entire jar of Nutella, we decided to mix in some of the lovely chocolate-hazelnut spread to the pastry cream to give it more flavor. The silky cream inside the flaky pastry is absolutely amazing! Overall, we had a fun time mixing, piping, baking, and making a mess in the kitchen. Now, what are we going to do with all of these cute little cream puffs?

These puffs are really pretty – I've never seen such an original shape: snail puffs . Very cute! And I bet it's very tasty! Thanks for the inspiration!
# denise @ quickies on the dinner tableon 07 Mar 2010 at 10:21 pm
YUM! Anything with Nutella is mine, all MINE!!
# Sook @ My Fabulous Recipeson 07 Mar 2010 at 10:49 pm
Oh I love Nutella! That is such a fantastic idea.
# The Duo Disheson 07 Mar 2010 at 11:36 pm
If you have extra, you can totally try a savory filling. Use them up for dinner and finish off the nutella version for dessert!
# Hannaon 08 Mar 2010 at 7:25 am
I could have eaten half a dozen of those cream puffs right now .
OMG…these look incredible!
# Sandyon 08 Mar 2010 at 8:27 am
If you add a little powdered sugar on top, they'll look nearly identical to the ones they sell at Beard Papas!
# Erin at the Healthy Apronon 08 Mar 2010 at 8:38 am
Mmm. Nutella is wonderful.
# Jessie C.on 08 Mar 2010 at 10:41 am
These puffs looks so good, I'm gonna have to try this one. Thank you for sharing!
# jenn (Bread + Butter)on 08 Mar 2010 at 11:29 am
Ooooo…I love cream puffs. That's so neat. I definitely have to try making these!!!!!!
# thefoodaddictson 08 Mar 2010 at 1:19 pm
Glad you guys like the Nutella part of the pastry cream!
nutella pastry cream? are you kidding me right now? what a phenomenal treat–frankly, i'd be hard-pressed not to just stick the nozzle of the cream bag into my mouth and squeeze until i couldn't squeeze anymore.
nutella…oh my dear I need these!!
I'm very intrigued by this – does just one TBSP of Nutella impart a strong or a subtle flavour? I really have to try a pate a choux one of these days! Thanks for the inspiration.
# thefoodaddictson 08 Mar 2010 at 10:49 pm
Hi Dan. One tbsp of Nutella actually gives it a very subtle flavor, which was good for us. But if you like a stronger flavor, add another tbsp, or two, or three… you get the idea. Hope this helps!
# dianeon 08 Mar 2010 at 11:38 pm
omgosh. i die!
best entry ever
nutella adds a good twist to the usual cream. This is making me hungry =D
# Debi(Table Talk)on 09 Mar 2010 at 2:24 pm
Yep—these definitely work. Wow; they sound fantastic, and your pics certainly show us they are!
I really like pâte à chou! The creamy Nutella filling looks delicious!
# Conor @ HoldtheBeefon 09 Mar 2010 at 3:38 pm
Oh great idea with the Nutella! I think I've have to add more than 1 Tb though, I'm a bit Nutella-greedy
These look so good, I would never have guessed it is your first time making pâte à chou. Can't wait to see the eclairs!
# Joie de vivreon 09 Mar 2010 at 3:55 pm
These look INCREDIBLE! Thanks so much for visiting!
I love Nutella, and making cream puffs with it is a brilliant idea!
This is beautiful!
# thefoodaddictson 09 Mar 2010 at 8:50 pm
I got a great tip – to freeze them! It'll last long and can be a cold treat anytime I want. Thought I'd point that out…
Thank you for sharing. Anything with Nutella is bound to be good.
# Linn @ Swedish Home Cookingon 10 Mar 2010 at 8:53 am
Something that sounds that good can't be good for you!! haha. and I know it's not. but sounds and looks super delicious.

Oh my God. Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God. OMG. Seriously, are you serious? Out of this world!

Rachel – love your enthusiasm! Haha.
# Tangled Noodleon 11 Mar 2010 at 9:02 pm
These cream puffs are amazing! May I ask which piping tip sizes you used for the pate choux and the filling? I'm sorely lacking in a variety of shapes and sizes, and these look like something I should have on hand!
# Amy @ cookboomaniacon 12 Mar 2010 at 11:24 pm
This is a foodlovers daydream! Well done! You have just started a nutella cream puff craving in my belly!
# thefoodaddictson 15 Mar 2010 at 3:16 pm
Hi Tangled Noodle. Let me confirm the tip sizes and see what we can do to help. I'll email you!

# Ingridon 09 Apr 2010 at 9:28 am
Definitely going to try the Nutella…I usually make these with a filling of vanilla pudding mixed with cream. Please tell…what is the secret to getting the shapes uniform? Mine are all different shapes and sizes!! thanks so much!
# a tasteful gardenon 11 Apr 2010 at 3:27 pm
looks absolutely divine!! can't wait to try.
# Kristineon 17 Oct 2010 at 11:49 pm
Made these this weekend with my sister (well, she helped add eggs to the mixer and then proceeded to take a nap after we attempted to make a few snail puffs =P) and they turned out much better than I expected! My cream wasn't as thick as I wanted it to be, but maybe it was because I had to substitute the vanilla bean for a dash of vanilla extract. Next time, I might add some sugar to the puffs (for those that I don't pump enough cream into hehe) and more sugar/vanilla/Nutella to the cream. Besides that, the recipe was great and I had a blast making them! Totally recommended
On a little sidenote, I wonder . . . was the dough supposed to be really sticky? It was so sticky and thick that I could hardly squeeze any out the tube (but it might also be because I'm a total beginner at piping), so I ended up scooping balls with my cookie scoop (that works too! They hollowed out on their own, which I found amazing ).

NASA's Guenter Wendt, engineer at Cape Canaveral, dies at 85
MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. — Guenter Wendt, the last man many U.S. astronauts saw before lift off, has died at his Florida home of complications from congestive heart failure. He was 86.
Wendt, an engineer who became known as the pad leader and controlled the "White Room," a sterile area that led to the spacecraft hatch, was known for his jovial yet disciplined care of the astronauts. He died Monday morning.
He came to Cape Canaveral in 1959 and worked on the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and shuttle launches.
His daughter Norma Wendt said her father was "extremely fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to make and be part of history."
Wendt retired in 1989 but recently traveled around the country to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Apollo 13.

Centre for Global eHealth Innovation - University Health Network
This is a demonstration project of electronic patient generated data for point of care reporting in the management of rheumatoid arthritis.
Most patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience a chronic, fluctuating course of disease that despite therapy, may result in progressive joint destruction, disability and premature death. Medical guidelines for the monitoring and treatment of patients with RA clearly specify that the continuous evaluation of disease status and activity is a necessary component of care. This evaluation includes the documentation of function (e.g. problems with activities of daily living), pain and overall health status which are reported by the patient. Advances in computer and communication technologies now allow for the collection of patient information using a computerized questionnaire and also provide the ability to immediately generate a report that summarizes the questionnaire information over time.
We have created a computerized questionnaire for patients with RA and we have tested it in one rheumatology office. We determined that this tool helped the patients to describe their current health situation, reduced the time that is used for routine tasks (e.g. listing medications), and allowed the patient and their doctor to focus on their most important concerns. We would now like to test this tool in a variety of rheumatology offices using their existing equipment. The success of this project will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of rheumatology care across Canada by providing patients and their rheumatologists with an easy tool for monitoring disease activity and response to treatment.

Best Of :: People & Places
Born in Savannah, Georgia, Scott Aukerman grew up in Orange County, where he attended Cypress High School and, like Glee's Matthew Morrison, Orange County High School of the Arts when it was on the campus of Los Alamitos High School. Aukerman also knocked around in a band with No Doubt's Adrian Young and met his writing partner B.J. Porter at Orange Coast College, where they started a radio show called Lutz Radio. Aukerman went on to become the ultimate Hollywood comedy insider: in-demand puncher-upper of TV and movie scripts; Emmy-nominated producer of HBO's Mr. Show With Bob and David; 2009 MTV Movie Awards head writer who broke the news via Tumblr that the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged; director of Zach Galifianakis' hilarious Between Two Ferns interviews on FunnyOrDie.com; and host of Comedy Death-Ray interviews with the likes of Judd Apatow, Ben Stiller and Seth Rogan that are shown as bumpers between IFC-"rescued" reruns of Mr. Show, Arrested Development, The Ben Stiller Show, The Larry Sanders Show, and Apatow's Undeclared and Freaks and Geeks. Aukerman has also maintained his love of aural "theater of the mind" by co-founding Earwolf Studios, which presents regular weekly podcasts by his standup and alternative comedy pals, as well as by hosting his own Comedy Bang! Bang! Podcast (formerly Comedy Death-Ray). With the likes of Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt and Jon Hamm dropping in, Aukerman conducts bizarre interviews and runs guests through deliciously pointless aural improvisation exercises. Routinely, a Matt Besser of Upright Citizens Brigade or Paul F. Tompkins of a million things (from Mr. Show to Tenacious D. to his own The Pod F. Tomkast) arrive unannounced and in a character who quickly gets under everyone's skin. Everyone, that is, except us listeners, who love it. Comedy Bang! Bang! Podcast and other Earwolf Studios programs are available via earwolf.com and external digital (iTunes, Zune) or mobile (iPhone App, Android App on the way, iPod, iPad, mp3 players) platforms.

Whether he's working to protect the jobs of employees throughout Orange County, or jousting with his fellow board members at meetings at the Orange County Fairgrounds, Nick Berardino is a tough character. He's an idealist who doesn't take kindly to people in power exerting any type of unjust control over those who don't want or know how to be heard. He's good at constructive arguing or, as some call it, negotiating. He has been involved in labor negotiations for more than 30 years with the Orange County Employees Association, so there's not much that rattles him. He'll ask the uncomfortable questions, he'll call people out on their BS or stare down the most imposing of political figures—and then he'll turn to his constituents and smile and wink. He has their backs.
In the past, we've asked Bao Nguyen for quotes on topics, and he has politely refused. Unlike so many in local politics, Nguyen—one of Orange County's leading progressive activists—prefers accomplishments to accolades and publicity. In June, the 31-year-old UC Irvine graduate, who's a Buddhist and a public-school teacher, was appointed to a position on the Garden Grove Unified School District's board when Dr. KimOanh NguyenLam, another one of our favorites, accepted a job in Washington, D.C. While others with political aspirations might have been socializing at watering holes, Bao quietly volunteered to aid needy elderly citizens in North OC. Hopefully, his new role will be a continuation of what we've seen in the past: a man who is incredibly sensitive to community rights and wrongs and isn't afraid to speak up.
Before there was the city of Bell scandal (starring Huntington Beach's Robert Rizzo), there was Barbara Kogerman of Laguna Hills trying to get anyone to listen to what she was uncovering about excessive compensation of city staffers and elected officials in Orange County. The wife of former Marine Corps officer, El Toro International Airport fighter and Orange County Great Park board member Bill, Kogerman first targeted her own city, an obsession she was later able to spin into a successful run for the Laguna Hills City Council. Fortunately, she did not confine her digging to that 'burb. Assisted by two college students and public-records requests, Kogerman uncovered lavish pay, benefits and pensions throughout local governments in the county. Her investigative work was later validated by the grand jury, The Orange County Register and government watchdog groups that have lavished her with awards. Most cities, with a sense of shame, posted some elements of compensation on their websites (with varying degrees of success). The Los Angeles Times followed up by spotlighting excessive pay in LA County, which eventually brought the journos to Bell and Hogg Boss Rizzo. Subsequently, the state's controller and attorney general (now Governor Jerry Brown) called for disclosure by all cities of their city managers' compensation, and legislation was introduced to address excessive compensation and lack of transparency. Initially ignored, Kogerman is now a national spokesperson for local compensation reform, transparency and accountability.
In May, the county's Board of Supervisors voted without a word of public discussion to pay $249,975 in taxpayer funds to the Truth Agency, a Santa Ana government consulting firm, for the task of convincing residents they should visit county parks.
In June, the county's Board of Supervisors voted without a word of public discussion to give businesses at the Dana Point Harbor $145,800 in taxpayer funds to publicize their private companies.

Man Charged With Shooting Adult Son
Neighbors reveal a possible motive.
HUBERT, NC - Investigators say an argument between a father and a son turned violent Thursday night.
Reginald Moore, Jr. 60, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Deputies say Moore shot his son, Brandon Scott Moore, 31, of Durham, in the leg.
It happened at the Gatlin Mobile Home Park in Hubert. That's just off of Highway 24 west of Swansboro.
According to the Officer's Report, Moore, Jr. and his son were drinking alcohol and arguing most of the day. Moore, Jr. was brandishing a 357 Smith & Wesson during the time of the argument and out of anger shot his son in the leg.
Neighbor Krystle Mature was home with her 5-year-old daughter when they heard a gunshot.
"My daughter had looked out the window and seen a man with a gun standing on his porch," said Mature.
Deputies have not released a motive yet but neighbors had this to say.
"The son had come over earlier and told me that his wife left him because his father was hitting on his wife," said Mature.
Bond was set at $25,000.

The Mozza Cookbook: Recipes from Los Angeles's Favorite Italian…
by Nancy Silverton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
This book is for the advanced cook; it might be daunting for beginners.
This cookbook is freaking awesome.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307272842, Hardcover)A traditional Italian meal is one of the most comforting—and delicious—things that anyone can enjoy. Award-winning chef Nancy Silverton has elevated that experience to a whole new level at her Los Angeles restaurants Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza, co-owned with restaurateurs Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. A reservation at Mozza has been the hottest ticket in town since the restaurants opened and diners have been lining up for their wildly popular dishes. Finally, in The Mozza Cookbook, Silverton is sharing these recipes with the rest of the world.
The original idea for Mozza came to Nancy at her summer home in Panicale, Italy. And that authentic Italian feel is carried throughout the book as we explore recipes from aperitivo to dolci that she would serve at her tavola at home. But do not confuse authentic with conventional! Under Silverton's guidance, each bite is more exciting and delectable than the last, with recipes such as:
Fried Squash Blossoms with Ricotta
Buricotta with Braised Artichokes, Pine Nuts, Currants, and Mint Pesto
Mussels al Forno with Salsa Calabrese
Fennel Sausage, Panna, and Scallion Pizza
Fresh Ricotta and Egg Ravioli with Brown Butter
Grilled Quail Wrapped in Pancetta with Sage and Honey
Sautéed Cavolo Nero
Fritelle di Riso with Nocello-soaked Raisins and Banana Gelato
Olive Oil Gelato
In the book, Nancy guides you through all the varieties of cheese that she serves at the Mozzarella Bar in the Osteria. And you'll find all the tricks you need to make homemade pastas, gelato, and pizzas that taste as if they were flown in directly from Italy. Silverton's lively and encouraging voice and her comprehensive knowledge of the traditions behind this mouthwateringly decadent cuisine make her recipes—both familiar and intricate—easy to follow and hard to resist. It's no wonder it is so difficult to get a table at Mozza—when you're cooking these dishes there will be a line out your door as well.

Some questions here need advise,thanks.
Hello, I'm new here and very glad to meet you all.
I am planning to have a V or V wagon couple within months, and also planning "mod" related things.
First question: How much handling difference between V wagon and sedan? Any virtual example?
Second, I am planning to shave over 400lbs weight from V, please advise me some efficient options, lighter is better
All these options&weightsaving I would do are:
Carbon hood&driveshaft&clutch assembly-79lbs
Lightweight front seat-around 132lbs
Battery-around 40lbs
ZR1 brake kit:around 77lbs(not sure)
Custom titanium full exhaust:around 35lbs
any other advise?
For wheels I think except some unique things like all carbon made, forged magnesium, or the effect would not too much.
Some Jp wheelmakers make awesome lightweight wheels, but the width was not enough(I planning to put 325/25-19 at rear).

Re: Some questions here need advise,thanks.
You didn't indicate your driving intentions for the weight loss program. Are you planning to track the car? ¼ mile? Both?
Since you asked for advice - instead of spending mega bucks to lighten a V, why not just buy a ZL1? It's already 400+ pounds lighter and will respond better to the same mods. Just a thought.
Re: Some questions here need advise,thanks.
Most ppl here don't know how powerful about V, they just think it's a luxury sedan with average performance.
My condition just allow me to have a car right now, for tracking..sometimes, quartermile..no, but random challenge at road...yes
This V would be my daily car, sometimes I have to pick my 2 kids, so I do not planning to mod engine related things..yet, otherwise I would pick Z06 LS7
I think shave weight would increase overall performance, but not effect engine would avoid many necessary&related items to mod and not decrease mpg too.
And my place here just like what I said, the situation is not too much mechanics work with OHV engine well, just very elite&elder mechanics able to care these muscles, so that's another reason that why I just only mod about weightsaving.

The western cella of the Erechtheum was in all probability divided into two chambers by a wall running east and west (Fig. 7).
Its Greek origin is undoubted, and it is supposed to be the missing figure from the Erechtheum at Athens.
The present plan of the interior of the Erechtheum offers a number of difficulties.
Tradition has it that Erechtheus who was closely associated with Athena was buried in the Erechtheum.
The are interior walls on either side of a door which in the Erechtheum reached up only five courses above the orthostates.
The traveler has been made to enter the Erechtheum through three different doors.
The Erechtheum as originally planned was an altogether symmetrical structure.
The simple and convenient order would have been: Hekatompedon, Erechtheum, temple or temenos of Pandrosus.
The peculiar plan of the Erechtheum has given rise to much speculation.
The question as to the original plan of the Erechtheum follows naturally the interpretation of the building as built.

Hobbs, NM (November 2, 2012) – Today, U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement on the October unemployment numbers, which showed unemployment rise to 7.9%.
"Again, New Mexicans see the results of Obama's failed policies," said Pearce. "Four years ago, we were promised that unemployment would be under 6% by now if we were willing to sacrifice our freedoms, put our country even deeper into debt, and spend trillions of dollars we don't have. Now, all we have to show for the President's reckless policies are 12.3 million unemployed Americans. Of serious concern to New Mexico is the fact that unemployment nationwide among Hispanics remains even higher—last month it rose to a shockingly high 10%. And, the U.S. lost 9,000 mining jobs in October—more proof that Americans cannot afford the President's devastating energy policies. Mr. President, it's time to stop taking from Americans, and try the new solutions we've offered in the House: solutions that will let small businesses flourish, and let Americans get back to work."

In case you're interested, my dress was from Shabby Apple
& the hub's tie was an Etsy find.

& the hub's tie was an Etsy find.
We chose Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan as the location for our ceremony & it provided a spectacular backdrop for photos.
Two oversized, bright yellow balloons added a nice pop of color.
We exchanged the same vows that we did on our wedding day, tweaking them to reflect our 5 years already spent together. We also read each other lines of a version of Roy Croft's On Friendship poem.
From a distance.
Exchanging renewal rings.
We just loved our sweet little cake toppers (another Esty find). We used a cake stand & plates that we scored at a thrift store and the same serving utensils as we did on our wedding day.
It was such a perfect day. I didn't want it to end. But, it's so nice to be able to relive the moment thanks to our fantastic photographer,
Leah Renee Photography.
Thanks for indulging me, friends! If you liked what you saw, keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway tomorrow featuring something that we are so happy to have as a keepsake from our special day...

text: Ok, Hello. Hope everyone is doing ok. I have a 1991 Brougham. Antelope Firemist. My son got his drivers license and that same day wiped out the right side of my pride and joy....:duh::duh:. So, I have found all the parts I need for a very resonable price but they are from an 80's Fleetwood. Wrong color (no big deal) but in excellent shape. Here is the worry. I have doors with seatbelts. Can I convert the older ones easily? (my door pads are fine) The front lights header is 4 bulb, not 2. Can they work with out much trouble? Also, there is a rear bumper, complete with light bullits and all. Is it a direct bolt in swap? Mine is ok but has a divit in it I have always wanted to replace. Thanks for any help you guys can provide me, it really will be appreciated. Nick.

I had my first trip to the dog park today - it's the best thing ever! There were so many dogs for me to play with. I showed them all how fun it is to roll in the mud and it made all our people come running! Now that's how a girl stews in her own funk! My person wouldn't let me in the car until she had cleaned me up a little bit, but I still have a pretty good stink going on. I had so much fun playing chase that I even showed off my singing voice.
I hope we can get a chance to go again soon. But now I need to take a nap. All that fun wiped me out!
What an exhausting week! I have traveled from North Carolina to Connecticut and my new person needs lots of training. What do you expect from a yankee?
We drove north for 14 hours and finally came "home" late at night. I was so wiped out from sleeping the entire trip that I had to immediately snuggle on the sofa for a quick nap. There is a cat here who doesn't seem to care much for me, but I know that I can win her over with my natural charm.
I get to go on lots of walks, and I like that. Unfortunately my person doesn't understand that a hound dog wants to follow her nose. I never get to go into houses or investigate the trash cans that strike my fancy. The neighbors are nice though. They all tell me how pretty and sweet I am, and some of their dogs play with me.
We went to go visit some new friends last night, and everyone was impressed by how good I am. I even found a handsome man with a soft lap to snuggle me. Now, that's what I call a nice evening! The exertion has exhausted me so I must go take a nap.

Our team have received a number of recommendations for our work with biomimetics:
"We are working with The Innovation Crew on the next big thing in packaging for our range of produce for our retail customers. Whilst our initial view was to focus on developing the type of packaging, we realised during the workshop that the scope needed to encompass all aspects of the customer and consumer experience. Using the Business Biomimetics approach we identified a massive growth opportunity that added more value for the customer and the consumer. We have experienced a great new way of problem solving and also found it a motivational way to bring people from across the business together. By using nature, it allowed us to think about our problem and has given us a new energy to do something about it. It's the first time I have sponsored a piece of work where every participant wrote to thank me afterwards. Good value all round."
Ann Savage, Group Technical Director, Bakkavor
"unlike other innovation approaches business biomimetics also grapples the challenges of implementation" – Jo North, Commercial Director, Northern Rail
"I enjoy working with Cathy very much. I have found her extremely effective at bringing people together to provide solutions. One of Cathy's strengths is bringing ideas to the table from a different sphere, which, when coupled with her pragmatic approach, is a powerful combination."
Brian Crombie, Leader – Packaging Specialties, Europe, SunChemical
"Cathy is very knowledgeable and a great source for information and identifying new professional contacts in a wide range of technical areas. She provides excellent on-time innovative services at Faraday and has a positive and flexible approach on progressing projects."
Suren Solanki, Head of Group Innovations at SSL International
"Cathy's extensive contacts coupled with her understanding of a wide variety of packaging subject matter makes her an important first point of contact to gain expert advice or specialist knowledge. She may not know personally but she sure knows someone who does!"
Steve Pye, Technical Service Manager, Consumer Board at Walki Ltd
"I came into contact with Phil and "biomimetics and innovation" at a meeting in Bristol and found the approach both innovative and insiteful. As a means of unravelling a business problem or market dynamic the approach is extremely clever.
For anyone looking for a different approach to developing business strategies I would highly recommend it."
Harry Roberts, Partner Exeter Office, Smith & Milton limited
"Phil brings an innovative and challenging approach to organizational development and change.I am aware of some of the clients he ahs worked with in my industry and the thought provoking appraoch he ahs adopted to management and customer service development."
Martyn Brocks, Programme Commercial Manager, Strategy and Commercial, London Underground Ltd
"Phil has helped deliver some excellent pieces of work that have had a direct impact on cost improvements; making a 10% saving on £3m of annual staff costs while improving overall levels service. Thanks for your support."
John Newell, Assistant Director Organisation Development, NHS Trust
"Phil worked directly with me and my team to help improve our business development skills and processes.
Phil's quite unique talent is to be able to effectively coach individuals through challenging thought processes and getting people to think throug situations, bringing traditional teaching and best practise into play only when it is required. This way my whole team underwent desmontrable improvement and did so in a way that meant we have undergone noticable improvement that has embedded itself in our way of working."
Peter Forth, Amdocs PLC
"If you are looking to offer a refreshed perspective on strategy and change to your managers then Phil is highly recommended. He facilitated a two day workshop at Bristol Zoo for our Directors, innovatively using the location as a springboard for deep thinking and intellectual challenge. Phil then followed this up with more specific work on organisational change. Although respectful of individuals and the organisational context, Phil readily challenges any complacent or loose thinking and supports the drive toward integrated planning and making the transition from strategy into implementation. He is results focused but sensitive to the impact the transition process itself can have. Phil utilises rich imagery, drawn from his academic research to frame constructs in an accessible way e.g. the difference between striving to create a better caterpillar rather than nurturing the transition to a butterfly! On an interpersonal level, Phil is sharp witted but never snide. He is a thorough professional who can be relied upon to deliver on his promises and is very entertaining and informed company."
Jane Coope, HR Director, Guide Dogs
"Was exposed to Phil's research during a professional development meeting. The power of the bio metaphore blew me away with potential applications in all situations and sectors. Want a creative approach to problem solving? Have a look."
David Wilson, Managing Director, Noetic
"Being used to a variety of different creative problem solving tools and techniques, Biomimetics offers both a fascinating and refreshing addition. Phil's work in this area is outstanding. Not only is he able to very confidently describe and "teach" the theory, he is also very adept at applying it in real life situations. In an age when we are increasingly reconsidering our impact on our environment what better way of looking for innovative solutions than with the help of nature itself."
Wayne Batty, Programme Manager, Northern Rail
"Phil brings unique insights into the world of work and human behaviour. He has deep expertise which is combined with a a collaborative delivery which engages his audience. I have worked with him more than once and would be delighted to do so again"
Phil Walker, COO, Capgemini
"I found Phil's take on Biomimetics to be a fresh approach to problem solving and design solutions that potentially offers a way forward when other avenues aren't giving results. In addition to this Phil is an inspiring and motivational speaker who can and does take audiences on a journey with him to bring his approach to life and find those elusive solutions."
Graham Brent, Regional Project Manager, Britvic Soft Drinks
"We wanted to understand what Biomemetics could do to help us in our Innovation process. Phil is a very able and enthusiastic presenter and inspired us to look at a couple of technologies that otherwise we may not have considered. Phil has a very much "out of the box" way of looking at things which encourages good lateral thinking."
Kelvin Pitman, Open Innovation Director, Crown
"Having seen Phil at work I strongly recommend his unique style to those who want to look outside the box. So often we base our ideas on what we know and experience. I found Phil triggered alternative thinking and presented it in a simple and entertaining way that introduced concepts and ideas to look again at what we do."
David Hawkins, Director of Operations, Partnership Sourcing Limited
"A constant challenge to solving business problems is that we perceive all issues from a similar perspective; it's where we come from…Phil's biomimetic approach looks at how nature solves its own problems, with focus on necessity rather than with prejudice or a subjective perspective. Applying biomimetic experience and research to business problems is not only effective and refreshing, it can also be great fun! Phil applies his ideas clearly and lucidly and I highly recommend his approach as a new and exciting addition to the business toolkit."
Paul Moloney, Director, CoastAMS Ltd
"Phil has a broad experience across a range of industries that he was able to bring to bear to the potential offered by biomimetics."
Adrian Dickinson, Innovations Director, DHL Exel
"Phil is a very experienced Business Consultant and is able to gain the commitment and attention of senior executives very quickly. His methods and approach are both innovative and effective and inspire those he works with."
Neil Bray, Head of Business Transformation, Thales

Roy Disney's Magic WandKate Murphy
YOU KNOW A TREND HAS GONE mainstream when it captures the Magic Kingdom. That is what's happening with veggie burgers, thanks partly to a deal put together by Roy Disney's Shamrock Holdings.
In October, 1994, Shamrock's investment arm, Trefoil II, acquired a minority interest in Fantastic Foods of Petaluma, Calif. The company makes Nature's Burger, a vegetable-and-grain alternative to beef patties. Just six months later, these veggie burgers are being sold at Disneyland and Disney World.
Coincidence? Not really. In addition to heading Shamrock, Disney, who is Walt's nephew, is vice-chairman of the board of Walt Disney Co., which owns the parks. "That relationship helped," notes Clifford Miller, managing director of Shamrock and Trefoil II. However, he also says he would like to think Disney would have given Fantastic Foods a shot even without executive influence.
Indeed, demand has been strong: After a short test period, restaurants at the Disney parks have boosted their orders from 100 to 7,500 veggie burgers per week. Besides, veggie burgers might be a fine fit for Disney's goody-goody image. "Can you imagine Cinderella eating meat products full of fats and nitrates?" asks Larry Tsai, director of marketing at Fantastic Foods. "All her little animal friends in Disneyland would turn their faces to the ground with shame."

Burundi's civil war, which lasted from 1993 - 2005, left 300,000 dead and displaced over one million people.
The refugees returned to Burundi to rebuild their homes and livelihoods, but the country still faces tremendous challenges. Burundi is among the poorest countries in the world, ranked 180 out of 187 countries in the 2014 Human Development Index. Fifty-eight percent of children suffer from chronic malnutrition, and onne out of every ten children in Burundi dies before the age of five from a preventable disease. Over 80% of the population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 per day.
World Relief partners with local churches to rehabilitate communities and empower the most vulnerable to rebuild their nation. Programs focus on mobilizing the church and increasing the community's health through Care Groups responding to malnutrition and disease. In addition, these programs are providing sustainable financial services and enhancing agriculture production, resulting in both increased income and nutritional value.
Church Mobilization/Integral Mission
Community Health (including HIV/AIDS prevention)
Child Development
Families for Life, Agriculture for Life & Savings for Life programs
- World Relief's programs in Burundi began in 2004.
- More than 2,800 volunteers and 300 church leaders have been trained in community health.
- Since 2009, more than 100,000 women and men have been empowered with financial techniques through Savings for Life—implemented by World Relief and its partner Dutaburane.
- In 2015, 281 Community Health Workers treated over 26,000 cases of malaria and 5,000 cases of diarrhea, some of the leading causes of death for children in Burundi.
- Working with churches and volunteers, the Families for Life Program helps community members strengthen marriages, empower women and promote healthy families, laying a strong foundation for other development initiatives.

Here in London the ITEM Club, which uses the same economic model as Gordon Brown, lowered its growth forecast for Britain this year to 1.7% and for next year to 2.6%. This is well below Treasury forecasts on which the Chancellor based his public spending review last week.
The forecaster said the stock market falls - with the FTSE 100 down a further 5% on Monday - means global recovery from last year's slowdown post-11 September will be postponed.
A similar message is emerging from America. Goldman Sachs has cut its growth rate for the second half of the year from 2% to 1.5%, reflecting the worsening of the trade deficit and shrinking returns on the stock market as the long bull run comes to the end.
George Bush has again insisted that he is upbeat about the economy and that corporate earnings are strong. But this was a little unconvincing on the day WorldCom filed for bankruptcy. Moreover, despite claims that America's economy is strong, the trade deficit is still rising and the budget - in surplus during the Clinton years - was $118bn in deficit in the year to June.
The loss of confidence among US investors is reflected in the large scale withdrawals from investment funds, with investors removing $29bn (£18.5bn) in the last five weeks.
Here in Britain insurance groups are slapping ever larger penalties on those investors tempted to withdraw their assets, with Norwich Union charging 12% and Legal & General 22%. When markets are in freefall none of us with savings escape.
WorldCom failure
WORLDCOM'S collapse into bankruptcy is a seismic event by any standards. The sheer size of this corporate failure at £67.7bn is stunning.
The purpose of American style Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to keep companies intact and functioning in the belief that when the pile of debt and rubble is cleared there will be worthwhile businesses left.
In the case of WorldCom, there may still be much good technology inside the business including UUNET, the largest global internet provider. But this has proved an industry where it is notoriously difficult to make money.
Under the terms of the bankruptcy deal, WorldCom immediately gains access to around $2bn of cash, since this is the interest bill which it is temporarily freed from paying. Those who will suffer will be the banks foolish enough to finance WorldCom's huge buying spree.
Top of the list comes JP Morgan, a bank in the past renowned for its establishment credentials and prudence which is leader of a group of banks that put an astonishing $17bn into WorldCom. This collapse does not help European banks either. Shares in Deutsche Bank and Dutch bankers ABN Amro were sharply down in the last trading as a result of their exposures of $1bn and $753m respectively.
It is now absolutely clear that ordinary shareholders in WorldCom can kiss their investment goodbye. As has been the case with other recent corporate failures, including the cable group NTL, the only option left for bank lenders and bond holders is to convert their holdings into shares. This kind of slow death is preferable to throwing 60,000 people out of work and a firesale of assets.
As is presently being seen at Eurotunnel with the passage of time, profits do become possible post bankruptcy. But in WorldCom's case it may be a long wait.
Missing the bus
THE catastrophic decline of Stagecoach from stock market star to weakling provides a classic example of why companies should stick to their knitting.
As the company that first recognised the commercial benefits to be gained from bus deregulation in Britain, Stagecoach was onto a winner. Its move into railways was natural enough and it cannot be blamed for failing to recognise the walking political risk that was Stephen Byers.
But where it deserves a good kicking is for its over-ambitious international expansion, which has been a universal disaster. Like so many UK companies before it, America has proved a graveyard for its ambitions and is the main reason for the decision to axe chief executive Keith Cochrane.
Stagecoach says it is exploring options for the US operation. There is only one sensible solution, sell or close it and concentrate on running British buses and trains again.Reuse content

PJ Harvey - White Chalk
Simplicity doesn't matter when the unadorned piano tunes combine with a beautiful ethereal voice that echoes around the record like a melancholy ghost to gorgeous effect.Read more on PJ Harvey Listen to PJ Harvey on Spotify
PJ Harvey, often cited as one of those 'feisty' female rockers (usually by patronising hacks who think women aren't rawk) returns with her eighth studio album. It sees her take a route less travelled, with the songs led by the old joanna and a much higher register than usually. Abandoning the rock 'n' rolling of 'Uh Huh Her', 'White Chalk' is as a result a much more sombre and haunting record than previous efforts and adds some lovely variation to her oeuvre.
'When Under Ether' is an echoing and chiming gentle lullaby, following the Harvey tradition of dark, dark lyrics with the sunshine topic of abortion. 'White Chalk' seems to continue the theme, with lines including "the child in me" and "there's blood on my hands". The theme of abortion seems to echo around the album like yodels round the mountaintops. The world's first abortion concept album?
Well, not all the songs are about abortion. Journalistic license. Most of the tracks see Polly lamenting lost love, lost babies, lost anything. 'The Piano' sees her repeatedly crying out "Oh God. I miss you" and sees the album reach its loudest. Some have (unfairly?) contrasted this album with Tori Amos, and the similarities can be seen in album closer 'The Mountain' which see PJ wailing like a banshee over tumbling piano chords.
Some may view the change in direction as creating a lack of impact, and at times the album does feel a little insubstantial. The innocent ease isn't really a problem, as it allows the dark soul at the heart of the record to breath. Simplicity doesn't matter when the unadorned piano tunes combine with a beautiful ethereal voice that echoes around the record like a melancholy ghost to gorgeous effect. 'White Chalk' is one of those rare albums where an artist changes direction, and succeeds.

Overrated/Underrated NYC
In a city that runs on hype, we give a shout-out to the underappreciated NYC attractions and icons that are worth your time—and call out the overexposed stuff that we're kind of done with
Subway line: Q / G
Many cite the Q as the subway's best line, thanks to its clear announcements, express status and magically available seats. But frankly, we think it's a bit of a show-off. Our allegiances lie with the G. We just can't help rooting for the underdog. Like cheering on the Mets year after year or patronizing that one crappy dollar-slice place near your apartment even though it gave you food poisoning, loving the G requires faith. And hey—it provides the system's only direct connection between Brooklyn and Queens; and per the MTA, it's on time more often than many other lines.
Iconic NYC director: Martin Scorsese / Jim Jarmusch
Marty taught us how to love movies. Taxi Driver is imprinted on our DNA, and don't even get us started on quoting Goodfellas. But in recent years, we fear, his films have gotten a little glitzy. Hugo satisfied no one. And last year's so-called return to form, The Wolf of Wall Street, was a tedious impression of his own Casino. Jarmusch, on the other hand, remains the downtown poet of cool. Even 34 years after his debut, he's still fighting the good fight—a vinyl collector holding out in a sea of digital converts. He's filled his career with defiantly personal work, from Night on Earth to Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.And he's about to release his strangest and strongest movie to date, Only Lovers Left Alive (out April 11). Jarmusch wouldn't even know how to sell out.
Way to hail a cab: Uber/Your arm
Punching a button on your phone and getting a car is nice, especially if it's dark out and you're in a weird place. But a triple-digit ride to the airport because of "surge" pricing? When you look back on your taxi-riding past, you remember only the times it was a pain in the ass to get a cab because it was a pain in the ass. But generally, if you just stick your arm out, a vehicle will find its way to you. Plus, you won't miss out on crazy drivers or eau de barf, both essential parts of the New York experience.
Pizza: Lombardi's / Speedy Romeo
There's no contesting Lombardi's culinary significance: It is America's first pizzeria. But the signature original—fresh mozzarella, unadorned sauce, basil and romano on coal-fired crust ($17.50–$21.50)—is nothing special, hardly worth enduring throngs of tourists.Speedy Romeo recently attracted attention as a shooting location for Girls, but its pies are its true claim to fame. The pliant, wood-fired crust of the Saint Louie ($16) bolsters gooey Provel cheese, sausage, pepperoni and pickled chilies. Same DNA, new twist.
Outer borough: Brooklyn / Queens
It's hard to pinpoint exactly when Brooklyn's image became a parody of itself. In 2013, apartments in Bed-Stuy started selling for $1 million and Park Slope welcomed an artisanal-porridge joint. Hell, there's even a Kings County–themed restaurant in the West Village. Let's face it: BK has become more of a brand than a place to live. But once you cross the Pulaski Bridge, something magical happens: $200 gets shaved off your average monthly rent. And wait, what happened to that cloud of pretension? Oh, that's right. You're in Queens, home to some of the coolest spots in the city: the giddily interactive Museum of the Moving Image; the Chocolate Factory, the site of cutting-edge, inexpensive theater and dance; and Spa Castle, which is literally a castle filled with spas. It's one of the most ethnically diverse urban areas in the world, speaking more than 138 languages. And you can taste it, too: dumplings in Flushing, samosas in Jackson Heights, Guinness in Sunnyside and Italian ice in Corona—all of it inexpensive and relatively impervious to trends. Brooklyn has been tainted by its own PR: There's Brooklyn, and then there's the idea of Brooklyn. But Queens is just…Queens!
Burger: Corner Bistro / Steak 'n Shake Signature
Between haute $28 creations and paper-wrapped grease bombs, there's a patty to satisfy every craving—and to spark a thousand debates. Time-honored standby the Bistro Burger ($8.75), from Village institution Corner Bistro, is a piled-high stack of beef, American cheese, bacon and lettuce that consistently lures late-nighters. But the broiled patty tends to be overcooked and underseasoned, and the wait can be lengthy. Our favorite unsung burger is also one of the city's cheapest, and comes from, of all places, a national chain. Ever since Steak 'n Shake planted its flag in midtown, we've been smitten with its Double 'n Cheese Steakburger ($3.99). No pomp and circumstance here: just two expertly griddle-seared patties nestled inside a squishy bun with basic toppings, and a side of fries. Maybe it's time to crown a new classic.
Rapper: Jay Z / Homeboy Sandman
Hov is the proverbial king of New York, but he's worshipped to the point where he can turn in uninspired verses—like informing us that Beyoncé's "breasteses [are his] breakfast"—without tarnishing his rep. Homeboy Sandman might not be a future mogul, but the Queens MC—who dropped out of law school to pursue rap—embodies the hip-hop American Dream. With impeccable taste in beats, he's fierce, funny and even a bit nerdy: The lead track on the lush White Sands finds him comparing almond-milk brands and namechecking Trader Joe's. We like a hip-hop hero who shops organic.
Park: The High Line / Fort Tryon Park
The experience of walking through a well-manicured green space above the city streets can't be beat. The problem is, millions of tourists feel the same way, making the High Line hard to enjoy during peak hours. (Hell, we've wandered into someone's Instagram shot as early as 8:30am.) For peace and quiet, take the A train to Washington Heights. AtFort Tryon, you'll find spectacular views, lush scenery and fascinating history sans the crazy crowds. And a visit to the Cloisters, situated inside the park, is as essential a New York experience as eating a street-meat dog.
Hometown superhero: Spider-Man / Hawkeye
Peter Parker: local boy, working-class kid—he's just like us! That assertion has buoyed the Spider-Man mythos for half a century; but after two film franchises and a Broadway musical, not to mention the guy full-on dying in the comics recently, we're kind of over him. Instead, we'll take Hawkeye (né Clint Barton), who in Matt Fraction's recent comic series lives in Bed-Stuy, snarks up a storm and spends more time fighting slumlords than supervillains. (Onscreen, he's played by Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner.) Plus, he comes from a merit-based hero system: His "power" is that he's really good at archery. No offense, Parker, but that spider bite reeks of unearned privilege.
Gayborhood: Hell's Kitchen / The East Village
A night out in Hell's Kitchen can be a blast, but bars like Atlas Social Club and Industryare too often filled with pretty boys sporting perfectly tousled hair, their faux-distressed T-shirts stretched over manscaped chests. East Village spots like Nowhere, the Boiler Room and the Cock draw a decidedly rougher crowd, unafraid of dark corners, nonlite beer and serious body hair. While HK resembles a cheery TV version of the gay scene—like what your mom imagined after watching Queer as Folk that one time—the East Village remains defiantly divey and grungy.
Baseball stadium: Yankee Stadium / Citi Field
After Yankee Stadium was rebuilt to include more luxury boxes, the Bronx Bombers began charging quadruple-digit prices for seats in glorified La-Z-Boys—ousting all us Cracker Jack–popping mouth-breathers to the edge of a concrete wall. The big red apple outsideCiti Field welcomes the masses looking to enjoy the game, not the glitz. Midseason, Mets tickets are often available for peanuts (we've seen 'em as low as $5), giving you free rein to dive into culinary options like Shake Shack and Blue Smoke, plus plenty of craft beers. To quote an old Mets slogan, this is "baseball like it oughta be."
TV show about broke young ladies: Girls / Broad City
Like a mushroom that flourishes in darkness, Girls works best when not held up to the light of unending analysis. So let's take a breather from fixating on how frequently Lena Dunham disrobes (seriously, get over your tizzy, America) and turn our attention to another series about striving twentysomething women in NYC: Broad City. What began as a Web series turned into a network show, executive produced by the divine Amy Poehler, which Comedy Central recently renewed. Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer's hilarious, unabashedly weird characters are eminently relatable in all their messiness, like looking in a fun-house mirror. Hannah Horvath & Co. face their dead-end jobs with shoegazing malaise; Abbi and Ilana opt for downright anarchy.
Major concert venue: Terminal 5 / Beacon Theatre
Terminal 5 brings in tons of big acts, yet it may be the most hated venue in town. Fans grumble about its terrible sight lines, and musicians bemoan the cement box's reverb-prone acoustics. We'd much rather catch a show at the Beacon Theatre, whose superiority goes beyond its gilded architecture. The booking can seem dad-rock–centric at first glance, but it also hosts cool acts like Sharon Jones and Goldfrapp. Plus, the sound quality is top-notch; it's no wonder the Allman Brothers have played there a whopping 220 times.
Way to cycle: Spinning / Riding a bicycle
We've heard it all before: SoulCycle changes lives. Flywheel is a state of mind. But you know what's even better than shelling out to have an impossibly toned trainer scream about self-actualization over blaring techno? Hitting the pavement on two wheels with the sun on your face (once the thaw is complete, of course). Head along the Hudson River Greenway, or through Central Park. Not only do you get to see the scenery whipping by, but it's all free. Don't have a ride of your own? That's what Citi Bikes are for, silly.
New theater trend: Multimedia F/X shows / Well-made plays
Multimedia F/X shows / Well-made plays
Theater has never looked or sounded slicker. Video and digital F/X are integral to troupes as diverse as the Wooster Group and Cirque du Soleil. But there's one thing that all these multimedia bells and whistles can't do: make a bad or shallow show culturally resonant (we're looking at you, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark). The time has come for fewer performances awash in eye candy and more dramas that grapple with politics and history. If the new LBJ period drama, All the Way (through June 29), does well on Broadway, we'll know that others share that hunger (or at least that they love Bryan Cranston). Our playmakers should tell us the state of the nation, not drown us in spectacle.
Indie-film starlet: Greta Gerwig / Gaby Hoffmann
Gerwig—or the character she plays, "Greta Gerwig"—is, without fail, a slightly spacey drifter who'd make a great Skee-Ball partner. And that's fine. But there's absolutely nothing threatening about the Frances Ha star, and that should bother film geeks quick to call Gerwig the next Diane Keaton or Parker Posey. We can do better. Better recently arrived in the form of Hoffmann, the unhinged hippie chick at the center of last year's Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus. You may recognize her from her child-star days (Field of Dreams, Sleepless in Seattle) or, more recently, as Adam's unstable sister on Girls. Her future projects, including Gillian Robespierre's edgy Obvious Child (out June 6), look heaps more promising than Gerwig's recently announced gig, the groan-inducing TV spin-off How I Met Your Dad.
Bridge: Brooklyn Bridge / Queensboro Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge is many things: engineering marvel, iconic landmark and the object of much festishization by history buffs and tourists alike. And we don't blame them—it is a beautiful structure, one that embodies the innovation of the Industrial Age. It's also a totally jammed-up clusterfuck, thanks to a perfect storm of camera-wielding sightseers, frustrated joggers and enraged cyclists all sharing a single walkway. Our favorite unsung river spanner? The Queensboro Bridge. (Sorry, Ed Koch, but we can't get used to its honorific title.) It's appeared in pop-culture artifacts as varied as The Great Gatsby andSpider-Man, and thanks to its two massive cantilevered supports, it just looks cool. And let's not forget Simon & Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," which isn't simply one of the best songs about a bridge—it's one of the best songs about New York, period.
Way to party: Staring at the DJ / Actually dancing
A crowd of revelers staring blank-faced at somebody standing in a DJ booth isn't exactly a new phenomenon; we began to notice it back in the mid-'90s, when venues like Twilo started importing superstar European jocks to Gotham. But in the past half decade, the trend has taken over—and we blame EDM, with its thumping, flashing-lights filigree mesmerizing clubbers like a hypnotist's swinging watch. But come on, people—it's called "dance music" for a reason—move around a little bit! Maybe even with a partner, if that isn't taking things too far.
Neighborhood to take tourists: Times Square / Dumbo
Though it's nearly universally loathed by New Yorkers, Times Square remains one of the city's most popular tourist spots—witness the throngs queuing up at the TKTS booth, or taking selfies with those weird costumed Elmos. For a far saner time when you're entertaining Mom and Dad or that out-of-town friend, head to Dumbo. The Brooklyn 'hood has long been a destination in its own right—and if anything, it's more packed than ever thanks to the addition of Jane's Carousel and other nifty attractions to Brooklyn Bridge Park, plus spots like Grimaldi's and Bargemusic. But the scenery is prettier than the choked Midtown piazza, and will make your guests feel like they're actually in New York, not the world's sparkliest mall. Plus, you can't beat that view.
TV studio: Silvercup Studios / Steiner Studios
The iconic red SILVERCUP sign that's visible to 7 train riders is a landmark of New York City's filming renaissance. As one of the primary shooting spots for series like Sex and the City, The Sopranos and 30 Rock, Silvercup was instrumental in bringing the TV and film industry back to the city. But Steiner Studios, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, is where the really exciting and innovative work is happening. In fact, the Brooklyn studio—where shows like Boardwalk Empire, The Carrie Diaries and Bored to Death have shot scenes—is on its way to becoming the hub for not just TV- and filmmakers, but also new-media practitioners of all stripes. In addition to new back lots and soundstages, the Navy Yard will soon open a new section that will serve as an incubator for media-focused tech companies.
Sculpting trend: Large-scale / Small-scale
Artists starting out with little money and even less space to work in tend to keep things DIY, especially if they create sculptures or installations. Bigger isn't necessarily better, however: Just look at the overblown recent output of artists like Urs Fischer (holes blasted through gallery walls) and Jeff Koons (giant balloon dogs), which wear their sky-high fabrication bills on their sleeves. We're more impressed by creators who are able to achieve a lot with a little. Witness Tom Holmes, who creates sculptures with items like cereal boxes, cinder blocks, wood and even ice. Lo-fi it may be, but at least it doesn't make you wonder first and foremost how much it cost to make.
Regardless of which borough is "In" it's nice to see that NYC is finally expanding beyond Manhattan. I personally still think Brooklyn offers the most authentic and varied experience as a whole for locals and tourists alike. The "brand of Brooklyn" won't last forever so it'll be interesting to see which companies and points of interest stick around. I'm not sure I would recommend my friends check out the artisinal porridge shop but I often recommend them to Get Up and Ride (http://www.getupandride.com) the North Brooklyn Bike Tour company. They're always offering new tours and date-night excursions right in line with the new "cycling" trend.

Children enjoy collective worship at school
We wish to correct the assertion that the CES (Catholic Education Service) is "to mount action for the right to force 18-year-olds to attend mass" (Rights and wrongs, September 26). Catholic schools and colleges were established to provide a Catholic education, primarily for Catholic children and young people, but also for others who choose to attend, where there are places available. All the institutions are designated in law as having a Catholic character and are required to act in accordance with their trust deed and to provide Catholic religious education, locally agreed.
It is to be expected that collective worship and religious education will be at the heart of a Catholic school. Collective worship rarely takes the form of mass, but is an occasion in which young people can come together in a spirit of reflection, in community. It plays an integral role in the life of every school and college and contributes to the spiritual wellbeing and moral development of every student. The popularity of these occasions and of religious education classes is that they are very well attended, whether or not they are compulsory.
Oona Stannard
Chief executive and director, Catholic Education Service, London SW1
· It is regrettable that neither the former head nor the lawyers of St Luke's Catholic Sixth Form College seem to be informed by the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Declaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis Humanae, is quite clear: "The practice of religion, of its very nature, consists primarily of those voluntary and free internal acts by which a man" - including, presumably, a woman, and even a student of 17 and 18 - "directs himself to God. Acts of this kind cannot be commanded or forbidden by any merely human authority."
The actions of St Luke's contravene not only the laws of human rights, but also those of the church in whose name it claims to educate. The Catholic Education Service would do well to ponder this before supporting such indefensible behaviour.

Safety is paramount
Your report (Overseas aid, August 29; also see Corrections & Clarifications, main paper, today) failed to properly represent the importance that the University of Southampton places on the safety and wellbeing of all its students, both from the UK and overseas.
In fact we take the matter of student security very seriously and are continually working with the police and our students to ensure the highest levels of safety both on campus and in the community. We have a number of services in place that can offer immediate support and assistance to students, including our own police liaison officer. We also have a nominated ethnic minority security officer whom international students can consult specifically, should they wish. We encourage our students to use these and other student support services for their own benefit and so that incidents can be monitored.
Information on personal safety is made available to all new students, including international students. The university's head of security and police liaison officer will be speaking with students about these issues when they arrive at Southampton this autumn, highlighting the support available within the university. A new group called the Safer Student Forum, set up by Hampshire Police, in collaboration with the county's universities, has also produced a DVD on safety for all students. The University of Southampton regularly surveys the opinions of its international students and is top (in terms of students' willingness to recommend the university to others) of the International Student Barometer, a confidential and independent survey carried out by i-graduate (www.i-graduate.org/first.html).
As in all cities, violent and occasionally racist incidents do occur. However, a recent survey by independent think-tank Reform has shown that Southampton is one of the safer cities in the UK.

Two-Dimensional Crystal Growth and Stacking of Bis(phthalocyaninato) Rare Earth Sandwich Complexes at the 1-Phenyloctane/Graphite Interface
Takami, Tomohide, Arnold, Dennis P., Fuchs, Adrian V., Will, Geoffrey D., Goh, Roland, Waclawik, Eric R., Bell, John M., Weiss, Paul S., Sugiura, Ken-ichi, Liu, Wei, & Jiang, Jianzhuang (2006) Two-Dimensional Crystal Growth and Stacking of Bis(phthalocyaninato) Rare Earth Sandwich Complexes at the 1-Phenyloctane/Graphite Interface. The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part B: Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces & Biophysical, 110(4), pp. 1661-1664.
Accepted Version
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Initial stages of two-dimensional crystal growth of the double-decker sandwich complex Lu(Pc)2 [Pc = 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)phthalocyaninato] have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy at the liquid/solid interface between 1-phenyloctane and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. High-resolution images strongly suggest alignment of the double-decker molecules into monolayers with the phthalocyanine rings parallel to the surface. Domains were observed with either hexagonal or quadrate packing motifs, and the growing interface of the layer was imaged. Molecular resolution was achieved, and the face of the phthalocyanine rings appeared as somewhat diffuse circular features. The alkyl chains are proposed to be interdigitating to maintain planar side-by-side packing.
