"Gentrification," and its loaded meanings in debates over race, class and displacement, is getting tossed around a lot these days. Recently, Forum asked some authors and activists in the Bay Area to share their take on gentrification and what it means in the Bay Area.
Here are a few choice quotes from guests, as well as from listeners who shared their thoughts on how to complete this phrase: "Gentrification is _______."
"San Francisco was the capital of the West, it's been a city with a huge identity and cultural contribution for 160 years or so, and now it feels like it's becoming a suburb of Silicon Valley."
— Rebecca Solnit, author of "Hollow City: Gentrification and the Eviction of Urban Culture"
"If we don't have a denser city, then it seems almost certain that the tech workers, the people who just made millions in that Twitter IPO, will buy up all available real estate and we'll see an acceleration of the problem that we're seeing now."
— Farhad Manjoo, technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal
"We're getting rising inequality in the city. There are well-known ways in economics to fix that. We could just raise taxes on people. … That's a conversation to have. But it seems like a lot of times we're not having these conversations because we get sort of stopped at the first step, which is 'Do we want these people here?' Not 'What should we do about the fact that people are coming here?'"
— Farhad Manjoo
"In many cases, gentrification, which I like to call 'neo-colonialism' is actually taking place in areas where people of color were forced to settle. West Oakland and East Oakland were the places that welcomed the black people in Oakland during the Northern Migrations that took place after emancipation and after the World War. … So we have areas where you were forced to purchase or where economics allowed you to live that are now being overwritten, and these people are going to places like Antioch, Pittsburg, Tracy, where there are no jobs. And the same basic problems that made West Oakland under-served and economically unviable exist in those places."
— Ayodele Nzinga, artistic director for The Lower Bottom Playaz
"If a white person on my staff moves to Oakland, West Oakland, takes a unit up, are they gentry because they're white, even if their income is only $35,000, $40,000 or $45,000? It used to be the gentry meant more affluent people, and it wasn't a race-based analysis. When race gets into it, as it's gotten in the Mission and West Oakland, it gets more complex."
— Randy Shaw, director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic in San Francisco
"A lot of the city isn't totally transformed by tech culture. I find it odd that activists that have had such great victories over the past 30 years now suddenly believe that in a three-year period all of those victories have been destroyed by tech, because I don't think it's true. I think our progressive values… have actually reshaped tech."
— Randy Shaw
"There are incredibly diverse neighborhoods in Oakland that are still very affordable. We would love new buyers to come in and bring new energy. If that's gentrification, bring it on!"
— A listener named Christina

Brine-Cured Pork
Recipe by evelynathens
Adapted from Chez Panisse Café Cookbook, by Alice Waters and found at thesplendidtable.com. This is fantastic and really makes meat juicy and subtly-spiced/flavoured. It acts as a marinade and a cure at the same time, producing pork a bit like a mild ham. A pork loin or shoulder will need to sit in brine, completely submerged, for about 5 days; large chops will be ready in 2 or 3. Cooking time is not realistically reflected in this recipe as it depends on what you are cooking (whole loin or chops). Cooking times are indicated in instructions, though.
Top Review by Rita1652
I just enjoy my meats brined. I do it often. This time I chose to do a small pork loin which really doesn`t need to be brined. But it was defrosted and had made other plans to I put this recipe to use. I will remove it after a couple hours because it is a small piece of meat. I also suggest to wash after it is out of the brine very very well and dry. Then let come to room temperature before cooking. Next day I made Recipe #229276 with the brined pork. Excellent!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml salt
- 177.44 ml sugar
- 2 bay leaves
- 3-5 peppercorns
- 1 clove
- 6 allspice berries
- 2 small dried chilies
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 14.79 ml dried thyme
- 1360.77 g boneless pork loin (or shoulder)
- chopped parsley (optional)
- garlic (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Put 2 1/2 gallons cold water in a large, nonreactive container that will hold the meat and brine. Stir in the salt and sugar. Slightly crush and add the bay leaves, peppercorns, clove, allspice, and chili peppers. Add the garlic and thyme. Add the pork and put a plate on top to keep the meat submerged. Refrigerate for 5 days or more.
- Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Roast pork loin for about 1 hour, grill over a medium fire, or slice into very thin chops and brown them in a cast-iron pan. They will cook very quickly, about 1 minute per side. Finish with a good fistful of chopped parsley and garlic if you wish. A brined shoulder is good boiled or braised, and is delicious to add to cooked beans.

An aneurysm was a medical condition that could affect Humans. They were known to occur sudden in people who might have appeared just fine shortly before. They were treatable, but might take a person out of commission for some time and require a sufferer to rest for a few days after. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
In 2372, The Doctor searched for an aneurysm as one of several potential explanations for Captain Janeway's hallucinations. (VOY: "Persistence of Vision")
In 2375, Admiral William Ross was found slumped over his desk while aboard the USS Bellerophon while in orbit of Romulus for a conference. An aneurysm was suspected, and later confirmed. He made a full recovery. Julian Bashir later suggested to the admiral that the aneurysm was set in scene. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")

"I want to thank the University of Georgia and the coaches for giving me the chance to come to Georgia," Houston said in a statement. "Without Coach Mark Richt, I would not be where I am today. He has helped me grow from a boy to a grown man during my four years. It was a very hard decision to make but in the end, I had to do what's best for my family and me. Thanks to all of the fans who were behind us the whole time I was in Athens."
Brandon Byokin, Trinton Studrivant and Cordy Glenn all announced they were coming back earlier this month. A.J. Green declared for the NFL Draft a few days ago and is expected to be a top pick in April.
Houston had been quiet about the decision - even with teammates and coaches. Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said after the Liberty Bowl that he wasn't sure what Houston would do.
"I really don't know right now," Grantham said. "Even if I did I wouldn't tell you."
Players have said off the record they were not certain of his decision - one player said Houston has struggled with over the last month.
"It's crazy. I keep putting it off," Houston told the Macon Telegraph's Seth Emerson before the bowl game of his decision.
Houston is expected to go on the first day of the NFL Draft, but is more likely a second-round pick than a first. Still, his time in Grantham's 3-4 defense helped him progress up most mock drafts.
Houston is projected to be the highest Georgia defender drafted since Tim Jennings went 62nd overall in the 2006 NFL Draft.

This week, Eric Plemons joins the conversation and Jose Marichal makes a return visit as well. After introducing the Improv Hotline at 612.242.AGIL, we have a discussion about teaching social theory, the value of reading original texts, and the challenges of tuning out distractions for sustained reading and writing. Our final segment is a lengthy discussion of the impact of the 2010 midterm elections.
By the way, be sure to watch the feed because we've got another new episode we recorded last week coming your way in just a few days. Editing is hard.
- Arturo talks about his journey into the world of online discussion forums and blog comments
- Phil Davison, who has a bachelor's degree in Sociology, a bachelor's degree in History, a master's degree in Public Administration…and a master's degree in Communication.
- We discuss Urban Legends: Why suburbs, not cities, are the answer.
* Well, actually last week: this was recorded on September 16.
Jon, Arturo, and Chris are joined by Jose Marichal (of ThickCulture) and Alexandre Enkerli. A wide-ranging discussion ensues, and we tackle questions such as:
- Why haven't we had any women on this podcast?
- Is there anything wrong with Berkeley taking DNA samples from incoming undergraduates?
- And when Eric Schmidt makes the distinction between privacy and anonymity, is he making any sense?
We also manage to start a discussion about pornography on the internet and end up talking about the failure of consensus in the Senate. Try to guess how we get from point A to point B on that one.

Strong diamond sales at De Beers helped parent Anglo American to sparkle in the City today.
The mining giant reported a reasonable operating profit of $2.93 billion (£1.73 billion) — better than some analysts had expected.
Analysts at RBC Capital said De Beers is the "stand-out" business, adding "diamonds turned in sparkling figures" with operating profit up nearly 34% on the previous year to $765 million. Diamonds were the second-largest contributor to operating profit and provided 36% of underlining earnings. Liberum said the better-than-expected diamond results were "offset by weaker results elsewhere" for the iron ore to copper group. On an underlying basis, Anglo's first-half earnings of $1.28 billion were up 3%. Anglo ticked up 29p to 1614p.
Remaining with the miners, African Barrick Gold returned to profit in the first half and lifted 7.1p to 260.9p.
A third-quarter update from troubled platinum miner Lonmin revealed it is still trying to recover from a five-month strike when production was severely limited. It is stepping up output and shares rose 10.3p to 240.2p. However, analysts at Liberum reckon it is likely to announce a third rights issue in the next 18 months.
One miner which was extremely popular was Bacanora Minerals. The business which is also listed in Canada, debuted on AIM today having raised £4.75 million. It listed at 33p, trebled in value and then settled up 54p to 87p.
The wider market was treading water ahead of the weekend and the FTSE 100 ticked up 4.86 points to 6826.32.
Telecoms group Vodafone saw its shares rise above 200p for the first time since early June as its first-quarter results were better than analysts expected and it rose 5.3p to 203.15p.
Supermarket Tesco was under pressure from short-sellers according to Markit which said short interest is 6% higher since it announced chief executive Phil Clarke will be replaced. Tesco fell 1.4p to 274p.
Luxury group Burberry was hit by weak results yesterday from French giant LVMH and dipped 27p to 1415.5p.
A decline in first-half pre-tax profits and a weaker second quarter hit electrical engineering specialist Spectris and it slipped 79p to 2013p.
Irn-Bru maker AG Barr outperformed the UK's soft-drinks market with a 5.6% rise in first-half sales and the business fizzed up 6.5p to 628.8p.Reuse content

Was Rihanna bubbly or just very generous? Rihanna and her buddies decided to go out for a night on the town, on Friday. So they decided to take in a few laughs at The Laugh Factory, where Dane Cook was performing.
They were having a good time and knocking back drinks. The bill came up to be $80. According to TMZ, Rihanna asked the waiter what was the biggest tip that he ever got from someone. The server told her $100. Rihanna doubled the tip and gave him $200. She then said, " Now I'm your biggest tip."
Who said a good girl gone bad can't still be good? She can afford it these days, as the "Unapologetic" singer is having major success with her new album and is launching a new fashion line in February. Plus, $200 is like $2 of the millions that she has. Way to look out for the little people, Rihanna.

Early examples of the book from the collections of the Indiana State Library
This exhibition in the Great Hall at the Indiana State Library features some of the earliest books in the collection that have never before been exhibited. Examples from the 'cradle' of printing (1450-1500) are displayed alongside a medieval manuscript and a modern printed book to illustrate the progression of book layout and design. Come view some of the treasures your Indiana State Library collection has to offer!
The ISL collection holds books on many subjects, from Art History to Zoology! Come view some of the diverse and unique cookbooks selected from all of our collections. A few highlights include an article from a Bureau of Fisheries Economic Circular (1918) entitled "SHARKS AS FOOD", a book from our general collections called "It's Smart to Cook with Beer!", 2 of 30 volumes of the Braille edition of "Joy of Cooking", and some historic books about canning and food preservation from the turn of the twentieth century to the World War II period. This small exhibit also features some interesting objects, including a Civil War period coffee can that still contains coffee grounds from our Rare Books and Manuscripts collection.
This exhibit located in the first-floor exhibit room takes an in-depth look at federally-funded library services administered by the State Library. The eight-piece exhibit looks at historical statewide services like the State Data Center and Talking Book & Braille Library, as well as newer technology services like the Evergreen Indiana library catalog consortia and Inspire, Indiana's Virtual Library.

Tummy Tuck Not Easy but Worth It - Cuernavaca, Mexico
I had tried lipo which had decent results but no dramatic change. My main issue was not so much the abs themselves but my waist which had never been well defined, even when I was in my 20s and slender. I was also bothered by the skin around my upper abdomen after years of yo-yo dieting. My tendency was to gain weight in my midline. I lost 10 pounds before I had the surgery done so I would...

Amtrak Offers Some Writers a Free Ride
When most people think of a writers residence, idyllic, nurturing settings immediately spring to mind: A cabin in the woods. A quiet house by a lake. But what about a 44-hour train ride?
New York writer Jessica Gross was the first person to try out Amtrak's new writers residency program. She rode the Lake Shore Limited from New York to Chicago and back and wrote about the experience for the Paris Review Daily.
After the writer Alexander Chee mentioned in an interview how much he liked writing on trains and wished Amtrak offered a writer's residency, several other writers, including Gross, chimed in on Twitter that they also wanted a Amtrak residency. Amtrak responded and offered Gross the chance to be their first participant.
"I drafted the essay about my journey on the way there and outlined an essay on the way home," Gross said.
Gross says she didn't feel pressure to write nice things about Amtrak, despite the fact they gave her a free ride.
"The essay itself was more of a meditation on train travel, myself, writing as a discipline and craft and my own past, so the fact it was Amtrak was kind of incidental. It wasn't a reported piece and it wasn't about Amtrak," Gross said.
She spoke to WNYC's Amy Eddings.

To cut steel wire, diagonal cutters are best; the precision mechanic's diagonal cutters (order no. 36189) are better, for instance. Electronics pliers are more suitable for cutting soft to medium-hard wires.
Above all, burr-free cutting is important to prevent a potential risk of injury. If the cable tie tail is not cleanly cut, painful scratches or cuts may result. To ensure the clean, flush cutting of cable tie tails, precision mechanic's diagonal cutters are especially suitable. (Order no. 36189). Thanks to their specially milled precision cutting edge, cable ties and soft and medium-hard wires can be cut flush.
A bevelled edge or outer cutting bezel serves to ensure the stability of the cutting edge in terms of damage through increasing the cutting angle.
A cutting edge with bevelled edge generally has a significantly higher cutting angle (with Wiha approx. 76°). Nevertheless, this means that the user requires more cutting strength as soon as the cutting angle is increased. If a hard wire is cut using a cutting edge without bevelled edge, however, the cutting edge is unlikely to withstand the force and will become deformed. This is why cutting edges without bevelled edge are predominantly used in electronics (cutting copper or aluminium wires), or by plastic cutters.
Stripping is used to describe the removal of the outer sheath of a cable or installation cable. The outer sheath is removed using a cable stripping knife or stripping pliers. The individual wires are therefore left exposed.
Skinning is the procedure used to remove part of the insulation sheath of an electrical conductor to a specific length required for connection.
As a general principle, a screwdriver needs to capable of fastening a screw!
But if you want to know if a screwdriver is really good, you should look our for the following:
1. Quality: Does the blade rust? Does the handle feel "good" or does the hand start to hurt after just a few uses?
2. Fit: Does the screwdriver optimally fit the screw? Does it fit in my hand?
3. Service life: Is the screwdriver capable of surviving the odd knock? Can I still rely on my screwdriver after a few months or is it already broken?
Is the plastic resistant to oil?
Screwdrivers also need to suit their application fields! An electrician's screwdriver must not conduct electricity! An electronics screwdriver must not destroy the board through the static charge of the technician. A screwdriver can't slip out of the hand, even in oily or damp application fields.
Standard Phillips screwdrivers are characterised by a Pozidriv or Phillips drive, which can be associated with a corresponding screw profile.
The profile of a Phillips screw is made up of two perpendicular crossed slotted profiles. Compared to the classic slotted form, the screw properties are significantly improved, since the force application takes place at a total of four edges.
The profile of the Pozidriv screw can be seen as a further development of the Phillips screw profile. The user benefits from an additional cross, which is offset to the first cross by 45°. The additional cross is narrower and has a smaller depth, yet ensures extra stability and more winding surface.
In application, the Pozidriv profile must not be confused with the Phillips profile, since this will lead to extremely rapid wear of the fastening tool and screw.
Wiha slimTECHNOLOGY permits blades to be up to 33% slimmer by means of integrated insulation. Low-lying screw and spring elements in the critical working area can therefore be reached easily. The high-quality blade insulation ensures safe work on live parts up to 1,000 V AC/1,500 V DC. Additional safety is provided by the fact that every single screwdriver is tested in a water bath.
Screw contact is the term for the moment in which the screw head touches the work piece for the first time; in other words, the underside of the screw head comes into contact with the work piece.
The key width defines the distance (mm) between two parallel surfaces, and thus determines the size of the L-key.
Complete safety for the user is a paramount concern of Wiha when it comes to work on live parts. This is why Wiha complies with a wide range of standards and regulations, such as DIN EN 60900 for insulated hand tools.
In Germany and some other countries, there are stringent rules and regulations regarding work on live parts. It is only permitted to take place in special safety conditions. DIN EN I60900 is an international standard met by Wiha and their hand tools. Working under voltage should generally be avoided. Nevertheless, every single VDE tool manufactured by Wiha is individually tested for safety. After extensive testing, the tools are approved by our quality assurance. No tool leaves the company without being tested.
Wiha tests all VDE tools at 10,000 volts. This guarantees safe work up to 1,000 volts DC and 1,500 AC. In addition to individual piece testing, batch testing is carried out in the laboratory. Here, a range of features are inspected and assessed, including the durability of labels, checking combustion behaviour and holding force. Another voltage test is also carried out, in which the products are previously damaged in a water bath or heat chamber. Only if these tests are passed is the batch approved.
The VDE office awards the VDE mark for insulated hand tools (Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure – Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). Wiha therefore regularly sends products to the VDE office for testing and approval if the standards and regulations are observed. After approval, the VDE certificate is valid for five years. In addition to the testing carried out by VDE, a manufacturing site inspection takes place once per year. This is done to check whether the test regulations are being met in production and the laboratory.
With the hexagon L-keys, we make a distinction between brilliant chrome and matt chrome surface coatings. When it comes to TORX® profiles, L-keys have a manganese phosphate or titanium silver surface.
The matt chrome-plated surface offers ideal corrosion protection. The brilliant chrome-plated hexagon L-keys, on the other hand, boast a smooth surface, which provides less surface for rust and is therefore even more resistant to corrosion.
There is also a coloured version. The eye-catching colour serves to enable the quick identification of key widths and the location of the L-keys when lost in the machine, for instance.
For ideal corrosion protection, manganese phosphate L-keys are oiled after curing. L-keys with titanium silver coating are not. This makes oily fingers or re-oiling L-keys to maintain the corrosion protection a thing of the past.
If you still have questions, you can provide us them with the form below. We will send you an answer within a few days.

Supposing my behind the scenes analysis of this blog's statisitcs are correct, I think I can assume that a large proportion of those looking at this are students. Hopefully you're male as unfortunately I can't infer gender from my stats. If you are both male and a student, this post, and indeed blog, is definitely for you. Given that a large proportion of our time is spent lugging books, papers and whatever else around campus, surely it makes at least some sense to do this with a bit of style? With that in mind, consider getting yourself a durable and stylish bag.. or two or three. Doing research for this post I realised just how enriched the world of male luggage is. Word is styles range from Shoppers,Satchels, Holdalls, Backpacks, Rucksacks, Barrel and the list continues. An interesting revelation is the male clutch (top row, middle), a kind of last minute solution in which you stuff your papers, pens and phone inside. I think I may do a bit more research on this phenomena, so look out for a male clutch post. In the meantime please give your books the love they deserve and get a bag of style significance.

Cap Off Copper Pipe
I want to cap off one shower feed in my bath remodel. The pipe will end up being encased in concrete. Are there any special precautions to make sure this never leaks. Do I just solder on the caps? The line is in the concrete slab pour so I cant remove it.
Cap it then wrap the pipe with pipe insulation so the concrete would interact with the copper.
Is there any reason you wouldn't want to cut and cap it upstream, so you don't have a pressurized water pipe in your slab for no reason? Or is it in a location where you could leave it a bit longer so the cap is in a wall somewhere? That way you'd have the option of using the feed later, or if the cap leaked, it would be somewhere you'll know about it and can fix it.
I'll have to look at capping it upstream. I'm not sure how the pipes come into the bathroom. There are 2 heads in the shower. On the side I want to cap, there are 3 cold and 3 hot pipes that come up through the slab and are connected to make 1 hot and 1 cold for the shower head. On the other side there are 2 cold and 1 hot that are in the slab and make up the other head. I have a feeling that the side with the 3 pipes feeds the other side but I dont know alot about plumbing. I'm trying to expand the shower a few feet and it has to be enlarged on the side with the 3 pipes.

Michelle Duggar's sister Kathie Ruark Arnold passed away in March. Michelle is the youngest child in her family and stayed behind to marry Jim-Bob Duggar when the rest of her family relocated to Ohio. There were one or two episodes of 19 Kids and Counting where Michelle visited her Ruark relatives, but for the most part they haven't been featured on the show - this could be simply because of geography (although Ohio is way closer than Jerusalem or Tokyo, where the Duggars have been recently), … [Read more...]
Josh Duggar's LinkedIn Page Shows Exactly How 'Qualified' He Is for His 'Job'
Recently, we reported on the news that Josh Duggar, oldest kid of the 19 Kids and Counting clan, was moving his young family to DC to take a job working in politics. The news was confirmed on the TLC reality show recently, and it looks like Josh is spiffing up his online presence as he gets ready to take a job he's completely unqualified for. First up: a LinkedIn page. I've always wondered how you write a resume when you've never had a real job (is "being on reality TV" a job?), so thanks to … [Read more...]
The Duggar Girls' Book Is Coming Out in November
The four oldest Duggar daughters - Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger - have 'written' a book about their lives, which will be published in November by Howard Books, a Christian company. The title is Growing Up Duggar: The Duggar Girls Share Their View of Life Inside American's Most Well-Known Super-Sized Family. It's a little too early for the book to have cover art or a description yet, but if this book is anything like the other previous Duggar books, it will contain plenty of information we've … [Read more...]

Though Josh isn't naming his new workplace just yet, he says it's a Christian organization that promotes "family values and right to life."Josh, like the rest of the Duggar kids who are over 18, has a GED but no college education.

David and Priscilla Waller Are Having a Baby Boy in March
Earlier this year, I reported that David Waller and Priscilla Keller, the sister and brother-in-law of Anna Duggar whose wedding was featured on 19 Kids and Counting, were expecting their first child. Well, the Kellers have updated their blog and let everyone know the sex (boy) and due date (March 9) of their baby.I really like David and Priscilla on the show, mostly because I like how all my commenters speculate about David's sexuality. But overall, I find the Keller family much less … [Read more...]

Melee Breaks Out at Newark City Council Meeting
Newark City Hall Tuesday night was the scene of council members walking off in protest, a crowd of angry residents rushing the podium and police using pepper spray on residents and a union leader.
Tensions had been simmering over who would fill the vacant council seat left by Donald Payne Junior, the former Newark City Council President who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month.
One camp wanted to see John Sharpe James, the son of former Mayor Sharpe James take the open seat.
But according to The Star Ledger, chaos erupted after Mayor Cory Booker showed up in a carefully orchestrated move to cast the deciding vote along with his council allies to appoint his choice for the open seat, Shanique Davis Speight.
The mayor was kept behind the scenes before his vote — with a plan to emerge in the event of a tie or if there was no quorum — and his appearance triggered the chaos.
Speight had to be sworn in later in a council chamber.

Definitely recommend this sweatshirt. It's priced considerably less than comparable sweatshirts. I washed it for the first time yesterday and it did not emerge from the dryer pilled and shrunken like cheap versions. Assuming this sweatshirt holds up well after wear and washings, I will purchase more of these.

The shirt was perfect for my dad. It being a tall size, makes it a little longer and more comfortable for him to wear.

"It's the place to be seen and is a hotspot for local stars - Newz Bar"
Looking for: Yesteryear charm
Head to: The Philharmonic Dining Rooms
Affectionately known locally as 'The Phil', this is regarded as one of the UK's most impressive and ornate pubs. A Grade II listed building, the Philharmonic Dining Rooms were designed in 1900 to cater for the popular Philharmonic Hall nearby. Today, you can still enjoy the majesty of its tiled floors, Corinthian pillars, mosaic bars and stained glass windows over a pint of real ale. It's even said that John Lennon once lamented that the biggest drawback of his fame was not being able to enjoy 'a drink at the Phil'.

Head to: The Newz Bar
If you're looking for a glam night out with plenty of celebrity-spotting opportunities, head to The Newz Bar at the heart of the city centre on Water Street. One of Liverpool's glitziest offerings, it's the place to be seen and is a hotspot for local stars, from WAGS to the Hollyoaks cast. With one of the longest bars in Europe, you shouldn't have to wait too long for your champers, either.

Looking for: Ale and atmosphere
Head to: The Grapes
A favourite haunt of The Beatles in the early days (since, back then, The Cavern Club didn't serve alcohol), The Grapes on Matthew Street is a proper pub with buckets of atmosphere. With a mini-shrine to the Fab Four in the back room - including a photo of the boys drinking in the very same room - and loads of memorabilia, it's a must-visit for any fan.

Looking for: Some serious dancing
Head to: Cream at Nation
Since its inception in 1992, Cream has grown from a regular Liverpudlian club night to worldwide brand, with a record label, festival and Ibiza club nights to its name. The Cream events still take place at Nation nightclub on Wolstenholme Square several times a year and are still the city's best bet for an all-nighter on the dancefloor. Expect your ears to ring.

Looking for: Cocktails in style
Head to: Alma de Cuba
Exuding Latin American charm, Alma de Cuba is situated in a former Catholic church on Seel Street. Boasting gorgeous interiors and more atmosphere than you can shake your hips at, this is a party night like no other in Liverpool. Cocktails flow freely, and with regular carnival-themed nights every Friday and Saturday (complete with costumed dancers and petal showers) this is the place to head for a decadent evening.

Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputies say there were 13 children on the bus along with the driver. None of them were hurt. The driver and passenger of the jeep were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.The driver claimed to be blinded by the sun, causing the crash. Deputy Sheriff James Kennedy says, "The school bus has just stopped, dropping off children at a house. The school but was just starting to take off. The vehicle came up behind the bus, didn't see the school bus and rear-ended the school bus."We're told the roads were clear and the setting sun played a huge factor in the crash.

THROOP - The future of a 48-acre property - the subject of discussion for more than 20 years - may finally be moving forward.
After lengthy discussion at a council meeting Tuesday, a conditional motion to have aerial topography taken of the property was approved 4-2. The vote was contingent on verification from the borough engineer that the topography is required before a master plan can be created.
The property on the former Marjol Battery site, bordering Dickson City and Olyphant, was acquired by the borough 21 years ago.
At Tuesday's meeting, Councilman Mark Mazak questioned the need for an aerial study in the absence of a real plan for what the borough planned to do there or how much it will cost. He and Councilman Neil Furiosi voted against the motion.
"If I know the topography, I can build a better master plan without having to modify it," Vice President Tony Gangemi countered.
Mr. Mazak also questioned preliminary suggestions to create a recreational facility, which he said the borough did not need. "I'd like to see a development up there that can add to the tax base," he said, listing a need for housing for the elderly.
Other members of council, including Mr. Gangemi, noted the value of "green space" and a free activity for residents.
All council members agreed a master plan is needed to make progress on whatever is constructed on the property.
"I think that's step one," John Musewicz said, noting that he had been part of the discussion for his seven years as a councilman. "I'm as guilty as anybody that we haven't gotten it done."

Some sites not loading
I moved to a new place. Went from cable to dsl.
I have some sites that won't load on the dsl. One in particular is a sister site to this one-contractor talk. I can get there at my girlfriend's place-the cable ISP. But at my place, dsl isp, it won't load.
I remember many years ago, i had a problem like this and it was some DNS issue.
Any ideas how to fix it? Is it possible, the CT server is on an ISP blacklist?
I'm running Vista and FF latest version. I am having the same issue when I try IE as well.
Try a "proxy" or one of those "search anonymous" just to see if it works, I would not recommend to log into websites via the proxies, for security purposes.
If it does work, it might be something with your isp. Maybe a DNS issue.
I'm not reallllll computer savy. I'll skip the proxy thing maybe. I checked ssl and tls as suggested. Nathan mentioned server issuse. Maybe a coincidence?
Anyway, I'm at my cable conncetion now and it's fine. But when I'm at my dsl connection, I get page load errors. Only for that one site.
I'll call my dsl tech support Monday if it isn't resolved.
1. Click the Microsoft Vista Start logo in the bottom left corner of the screen
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. RIGHT-click on Command Prompt
5. Select Run As Administrator
6. In the command window type the following and then hit enter: ipconfig /flushdns
7. You will see the following confirmation
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
I'll try that when I get back to the other place.
start/run/cmd.exe doesn't work in vista?
Actually my original post I wasn't sure Vista still had the flushdns
When I went & did a
for help it didn't show the flushdns command
--possibly because I did not run as Admin
I am the Admin
I hate Vista
Did I mention I hate Vista?
no, you haven't.... but now that you mention it..... lol
Go to cmd (I think it is the vista logo, go to the white search box and type in "cmd.exe" Sorry, my vista pc is down right now (new cooling)
Type in "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotes.
Then type in "ipconfig /release"
Then "ipconfig /renew"
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of that works. This isp just dopes not like contractor talk website.:no:
Seems to be a time out issue, maybe.
It says the server is taking too long to respond. I notice when I'm on cable, it's bit longer than other sites to load. So maybe on the dsl it's just timing out.
Anyway to change the time out setting? Is it a router issue, isp or browser? Couldn't find settings in FF (preferred browser) or IE.
try Opera browser from www.opera.com or google chrome and see if that helps?
No go. This is what I get:
Network Timeout
The server at www.contractortalk.com is taking too long to respond.
The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.
* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.
Does it work through this?
(Don't login to it though, I don't trust the security of proxies, just a test.)
It worked through that. Must be the dsl service?
And don't login to what? the proxy site? My destination when attained via proxy?

Jessica Simpson's Out Of The Hospital And Looks It
Jessica Simpson was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai with a kidney infection last week, and has now been released. She joined her mom Tina, sister Ashlee, and Ashlee's boyfriend Pete Wentz for lunch at El Torito in Encino, CA. From the looks of it, maybe she should have stayed home and dined on the veranda.
"Jessica was walking very slowly with her hand on her back. You could see she was in a little bit of pain," an eyewitness said. "She was dressed down and trying to stay low key." Ham.
Dressed down is right! SWEATS? Yikes, the hospital removed her fashion sense. I kid, I kid.

My First 10 Gallon Tank
Hi everyone! This is my first post here.
I just wanted to stop by to see if anyone had any suggestions for my 10 gallon tank. This is my very first planted tank and it has evolved into a bit of a jungle.
Tank Information:
10 US Gal
Aqua clear 20 filter (100 GPH)
50W Aqueon adjustable heater
Glass Up Aqua Nano Diffuser
Pressurized CO2 @ 1bps
Aquatic Life Dual T5 HO 20" fixture w/ 2 18W bulbs (one 6500K and one rosette one that came with the fixture)
Substrate: Miracle Grow Organic Potting Mix w/ red clay mixed in capped with black gravel
EI Dosing (solution method)
A story about the fauna:
I have 3 Corydoras Aeneus who I bought at Walmart (my attempt at doing an animal rescue) a long time ago. Originally I was going to buy some at a LFS but the man told my girlfriend and I that their tank had ick, so we passed. We then went to Walmart to get some cheaper airline tubing and saw the same cories we wanted. They're now full grown and have bred twice. I have hatched their fry and am raising them in another tank but as luck would have it I dropped a few eggs when trying to transfer them to a hatching tank. The 4 eggs I dropped apparently hatched in the tank and are now 3 weeks old and 1/2 the size of their parents! This means I now have 3 adults and 4 juvies with my dwarf gourami and oto cat (overstocked, but as you can tell, not on purpose). The cories have bred again since then so apparently water params are on point still. The cories all school together and look like a happy family.
Here's my tank:
I didn't really have a good idea of what I was doing when I was setting this tank up, so as you can see, there are some awkward spots. I personally like the center java fern between the 2 pieces of driftwood and I also like the right side scape in this small aquarium (especially when all of the jungle Val grows in thicker, covers the heater, and bends towards the center like some are beginning to). What do you all think I should do to this left side? To the left of the java fern (starting right to left), the species other than DHG are: Anubias Lanceolota, Cryptocoryne Parva, Anubias Petite Nana (barely visible, but I'm using it to hide the roots of the crypts), Anubias Nana (far left), and spiral Val behind the last anubias that I am using to cover the filter - not working out because the outflow is stunting the growth.
Let me know your suggestions for the left side and what you think about my very first jungle! Also, if anyone has tips on how to get the evasive cories out and into another tank I'd appreciate it. I bought them when I was told they'd be fine in a 10 (by someone at a LFS, not Wal Mart), apparently they're not as small as he thought.
I think it looks great the way it is! If you aren't happy with the left side, maybe just thicken the plants a bit or add some wood?
A fairly easy way to catch small bottom-dwelling fish is to make a bottle trap. Here:
I suggest baiting it with frozen food. FYI, the easiest way to get the fish out is to just pull the two pieces apart underwater.
I would also suggest adding another otto or two, as they seem happier with company. Maybe you could add Endler's Livebearers when you get the cories out?

Stone Creek campground is first-come, first-serve (no reservations) and is one of four developed campgrounds in Mount San Jacinto State Park. The campground is found at remote forested area at an elevation of about 5,800 feet. The campground has 50 (standard / non-electric) sites for tent and small RV camping. All sites are equipped with tables, campfire rings and grills. Mature cedar and pine trees provide ample shade and privacy between campsites.
Mount San Jacinto State Park is located in the San Jacinto Mountains and can be reached via Highway 243 from Idyllwild (CA) or by tram from Palm Springs. Elevation in the 14,000 acre park ranges from 6,000 to the 11,000 feet peak of Mt. San Jacinto, the 2nd highest point in southern California. The park's granite peaks, sub-alpine forests and mountain meadows offer visitors a primitive high-country experience with many hiking trails and spectacular views.

USC Libraries Welcome Margaret Wertheim as Inaugural Discovery Fellow
Photo by Anitra Menning
Dean Catherine Quinlan of the USC Libraries has named Margaret Wertheim, a science writer and director of the Institute For Figuring, as the first USC Libraries Discovery Fellow. Wertheim begins her fellowship on November 2 with The Marine Sublime, an event that will investigate the relationship between art and marine biology through discussion, film clips, and exploration of rare scientific works in the libraries' special collections.
Through her work directing the Institute For Figuring, Wertheim has developed many exhibitions and educational programs dedicated to increasing understanding of the mathematics of art, the poetry of geometry, and the surprising connections between the scientific and the fantastical.
Margaret and her sister Christine Wertheim are the creative forces behind the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef. The reef began as a public art project in 2005, as the Wertheim sisters set out to crochet a reef in homage to the Great Barrier Reef of their native Australia and to explore the complex, hyperbolic mathematics of coral geometry. Developing a taxonomy of crocheted life forms, the Wertheims have nurtured the reef into a global collaboration that engages thousands of craftspeople who create segments of the thriving, woolen reef.
The Institute For Figuring has exhibited the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef around the world, most recently at the Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
"As our inaugural Discovery Fellow, Margaret will help USC students and scholars discover and engage with library collections in inventive ways," Catherine Quinlan said. "The Discovery Fellow projects will showcase the creative and scholarly possibilities of investigating, reinterpreting, and presenting library collections in new contexts and from new perspectives. The Marine Sublime—with its exploration and remixing of biology, animation, poetry, and cinema—is an excellent expression of what we intend to inspire with among the USC community."
"It's particularly fitting that a gift from an alumna of USC's former library science program made the Discovery Fellowship possible," Quinlan added. "The generosity of Barbara M. Wight—a lifelong public librarian who passed away in 2010—will support our work to demonstrate the intellectual and creative vitality of our libraries."
"I am excited to begin a project such as the Discovery Fellowship at USC, where we will be able to engage such a talented and intellectually curious community," Wertheim said. "The evolution of ideas happens in response to dynamic conditions in our cultural landscape, and today, libraries are at the forefront of intellectual and cultural change. As places where ideas meet, libraries are the ideal environments in which to forge new conversations between the arts, sciences and humanities."
Wertheim's career as a science writer has grown in parallel with the success of the Institute For Figuring. Her latest book, Physics on the Fringe, arrived on October 25th.
Wertheim will moderate The Marine Sublime November 2, at 4:00 p.m., in USC's Doheny Memorial Library. The event will feature filmmaker David Lebrun, creator of Proteus—a documentary that explores the relationship of art and science through the works of 19th-century biologist and illustrator Ernst Haeckel—and Marina McDougall, the co-editor of Science is Fiction: The Films of Jean Painlevé. McDougall also organized the first retrospective of the French director's pioneering underwater films in the United States.
The program will include clips from and discussion of Proteus and selected Painlevé works, as well as a viewing of rare editions of Ernst Haeckel's illustrations from the libraries' special collections. The Marine Sublime is free and open to the public. To RSVP, visit www.usc.edu/esvp and enter the event code Marine. For more information, call or e-mail Patty Johnson at firstname.lastname@example.com or (213) 821-1153.

I've had a couple of new experiences in the past several months. I've been accepted to participate in the canine cognition research project at Yale University and have really enjoyed that experience. I make the trip to Yale a few times during the good weather months to participate in the program. During each session, I'm presented with a few puzzles/problems to solve. The researchers watch my reactions and take notes. The ultimate goal of the program as I understand it is to arrive at better ways to train military, police, and service dogs based on the studies of how each dog learns and solves his puzzles. I don't know how many dogs are being studied now, but I know that when I started there were only about 100 participants. I know that there are many more now. I'll be going to New Haven this week for a new set of "tests".
I've also started working in the Tail Wagging Tutor program under the auspices of Therapy Dogs International. I go to visit grade school classes and have students who are reluctant to read aloud in class for fear of making a mistake and being teased come to read to me in the reading lounge because I'm nonjudgemental. The kids improve their reading skills, they learn to like reading, and they learn about dogs.
I've had a couple of readers who weren't comfortable with dogs read to me and become great fans of mine.
For the past three years, I've been visiting friends in nursing homes. Each time that I make a visit, it seems that most of the residents want to pet me or say hello, but I've been limiting my visits to an individual or two whom my dad has known. A while back I took the test and qualified as a certified therapy dog and have become an associate of Therapy Dogs International. When I go to a nursing home or hospital now, I visit everyone who wants to say hello. I hope the residents of the home look forward to my visits as much as I do. You can learn more about therapy dogs on line at Therapy Dogs International.org
In my last post I said that I was preparing for the therapy dog evaluation. Well, as they say, "The best laid plans..."
It didn't happen then, but I continued to make my visits as an unofficial therapy dog. I've been visiting schools, nursing homes, and hospitals and have enjoyed doing it. Now, I'm happy to announce that I did go for evaluation and passed.
I now have my "credentials" and can continue visiting my familiar institutions and hope to become busier going to new places to brighten the day for a lot of people who need
some brightening.

My guess is that 3 of the below 4 will get a finalist spot:
- Yumi, and she will invite Momoko to come support her in the finals. She ended up 3rd on the first day.
- Hajime, so she can take Koromo and Ryumonbuchi to the finals with her. Plus it would create a lot of good opportunities to tease Touka about it, who's quickly turning into the comic relief of their team. She ended up 4th on the first day
- Mihoko for obvious reasons. She'll probably face off with Hisa before the end, and come ahead victorious. She ended up 2nd on the first day.
- Nodoka ended up 5th on the first day. I see her as the only one having a shot at a final spot out of Kiyosumi. She doesn't have the motivation problems like Saki, or a fated rival with dreams to fulfill like Hisa. Hisa's dream was going to the finals as a team, so her plot armour is weaker than Mihoko's
I wouldn't be surprised if the first three get into the finals in the end over Nodoka, though.

I would say the 3 slots will go to
Mihoko. She has the ability and the motivation to do so. With her whole team backing her to go she will have enough "power" to do so.
The south wind girl. Otherwise it will be pretty pointless to show her. And if she didn't go in, it means the 3 slots will all go to the team event finalists.
Hajime. Cos someone from Ryuumonbuchi got to go and she got the best chance right now. Actually i would have thought that Jun will be a better player from her performance in the team event. Maybe she don't have the endurance or something.

I feel like the South Wind girl is being set up as a mid-boss for someone to defeat. Perhaps she'll take out Yuki, then Saki goes all hax on her before going back to losing on purpose. That way they could show Saki taking out her hax without actually needing to make Saki a finalist. It could be one of the other girls facing her as well. I wouldn't mind a "everyone's happy" ending with the 3 finalists being part of the team finalists either in this series.

She's obviously a character to counteract Yuuki. Maybe classifying her in the same line as Saki and Koromo may be too much.

BTW, given that we've seen so many incomplete Kokushi Musous, anyone find it funny that the only successful Kokushi Musou is Kaori's? Off of Touka?
(Hahaha. I guess that beginner's luck did come in handy even if she didn't actually make it to the final round.)

Alternatively, her style is extremely defensive, so maybe she just didn't have enough time to get back?
(Is it really only 30 for the second round?)

This episode was fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull of epicness, but what I liked most was
1) Yuuki going full taco power and being on a winning streak
2) Hajime 4th place
3) Tomoki got the best line EVER in Saki - Also she is my waifu
4) Kaori <33333333 She is my 2nd waifu, s_b get your hands off!
5) Mihoko/Hisa interaction, geass was super cute when calling riichi.
6) Super East girl is totally cute too
7) Hajime was <3 too when she tried to cheer up Touka. I called her my waifu before anyone of you did.
Might as well start a harem <3
Basically the whole episode was 12/10 <3

No new Saki for an entire week? orz
Though I don't see why Shangri-la or Kanamemo aren't postponed as well. I think Kanamemo is even on the same station as Saki, and hour-long block, airing right before it.

NWDA Hosts Busy Summer Meeting
Meetings & Events
The Northeast Window & Door Association recently hosted its summer conference in Harrisburg, Pa. Highlights included a presentation from sales expert Richard Farrell and tours of a nearby PPG Industries factory.
|Richard Farrell shared his thoughts on improving the sales approach in today's building products marketplace.
Farrell, president of Tangent Knowledge Systems, a sales training and development firm, shared his insights on improving the sales approach in today's building products marketplace. Also speaking at the conference was Michael Collins of Building Industry Advisors, who offered a much improved, yet still not fully assured, forecast for the future. Technical speakers included Joe Reed of Architectural Testing, Wayne and Brenda Breighner of Materials Testing, and Brad Boone of PPG Industries.
Attendees toured PPG's Carlisle, Pa., facility, which occupies well over 1 million square feet of enclosed space and produces float glass, low-E coated glass, tempered glass and insulating glass.
"I am quite pleased with the success of the meeting," says Steve Chen, executive vice president of Crystal Windows and NWDA president. "All the speakers were informative and relevant, the PPG glass factory tour impressive and fascinating, and despite the hot weather, everyone enjoyed the golf outing. Through events like these, NWDA provides information and guides manufacturer and affiliate members to success in today's challenging fenestration industry. I encourage everyone to come out to our next member conference, the winter meeting in January."
The annual event is scheduled for January 27-28, 2014 at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket, Ct. More information is available on the NWDA website.

I know you might bite me for posting this, but I had to share. In provincetown, there is this shop called 'Shop Therapy'. I know most of you have been there, but I was so happy when I went. They had a lot of things one of my friends could use for her costume. I also (somehow) got a nice yukata for cheap. So if y'all need costume parts, they probably have it.

Christmastime is tamale time across the USA
By Jim Forsyth
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Christmastime is tamale time in South Texas, and Valerie Gonzalez is in the middle of another busy day at Delicious Tamales, the business she has owned for 30 years on San Antonio's largely Latino west side.
Moving quickly between answering the phone and greeting customers in English and in Spanish, she says that December is her busiest month when it comes to the steamed Mexican delicacy that is a holiday tradition among Hispanic families.
Customer Jesse Villanueva, 54, of San Antonio, came to buy some for his family.
"As far as I'm concerned, it wouldn't be Christmas without tamales," he said.
Gonzalez said she is seeing something new this holiday season: She's shipping tamales all over the United States.
"We have a lot of people who have moved across the United States and there are sorts of people, all classes of people, who are finding out about tamales for Christmas," she said.
At a time when the U.S. Census Bureau reports a surging Hispanic population - one in six U.S. residents is Hispanic, a number that's expected to grow to nearly one in three by 2060 - is the tamale becoming the new fruitcake?
"I think that's true," says Margaret Zuniga-Healy of the Progresso Tamale Parlor in Hollister, California, which has been owned by her family since 1939. "As people become more familiar with Mexican American cuisine, they're willing to try more things." Continued...
