Mint Family-Labiatae
HENBIT-Lamium amplexicaule L.
DESCRIPTION-A low slender annual, winter annual, biennial, or rarely a short- lived perennial, reproducing by seeds, by stems rooting at the lower joints, and sometimes by slender rhizomes. The weak 4-angled stems, 4 to 16 inches high, branching from the base, are erect at first but soon spreading, the lower part often reclining on the ground and rooting at some joints. The leaves are opposite, usually less than 1 inch long, hairy, and round-toothed or lobed. They are widely spaced except at the tops of the stems, often 3 to 6 inches apart. The lower ones are heartshaped on slender stalks; the upper ones much broader, stalkless and clasping the stem. The slender pink or purple flowers, 1/3 to 2/3 inch long, are tubular with 2 lips, the upper hairy on the back, and the lower spotted. The stalkless flowers are borne in the axils of the upper leaves, 6 to 10 or more forming a circle around the stem. The calyx, yellow hairy with 5 sharp bristlelike teeth, remains on the plant and encloses the 4-lobed fruit. The calyx separates into 4 seedlike nutlets, commonly referred to as seeds. They are 3-angled, 1/16 to more than 1/12 inch long, grayish brown, and sprinkled with silverish bumps.
DISTRIBUTION-Henbit is an introduced European weed, growing in moist often shady soil, but also in the sun. In Arizona it is primarily a pest in lawns, especially new lawns, also found in gardens, flowerbeds, plowed fields, and waste places. Troublesome mostly in the spring, and sometimes again in the fall at the lower elevations. Widespread throughout the southern and central part of the state and locally abundant in many areas, it is scattered in the northern part; 100 to 9,000 feet elevation; flowering February to November.

When it was revealed that singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home in north London, a connection was almost immediately made between her history of drug and alcohol abuse, and her untimely demise.
To date, no official cause of death has been declared. Looking at the circumstances around her death, however, the easiest assumption to make was that she had overdosed, or had gone binge drinking.
Rumors to this effect actually began circulating, where it was said that the late troubled singer had gone on a 36-hour drug and alcohol binge, which eventually led to her death. A feature on Metro online, however, shared information provided by an unnamed source close to the Winehouse family, stating otherwise.
Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, would like to dispel these rumors. He had shared in his eulogy for his daughter that Amy had been determined to kick her alcohol habit, declaring that she has had enough of drinking, and said: "I can't stand the look on your and the family's faces anymore.â€
The unnamed source revealed that Amy had been advised by her doctor to gradually wean herself off alcohol. The singer, however was so determined to kick her habit, and decided she would go "all or nothing†– and gave up alcohol completely.
Quitting cold turkey, however, has its associated dangers – some of which may prove to be fatal. A feature on MedPage Today shared that physicians confirmed that alcohol withdrawal syndrome may lead to fatal seizures and delirium tremens. This actually occurred in an episode of the reality show Celebrity Rehab, where Mindy McCready suffered a seizure.

From: Jude Wanniski
Re: He Did What He Was Told to Do
I'm suddenly feeling sorry for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Yes, I still think he has been a dreadful Pentagon chief and should
have gone into retirement many moons ago. But I now see his neo-con
pals, who from way back years ago realized they had in him an easy
mark to do their bidding, have decided that Rummy has to u201Ctake the
fall.u201D Things are so bad in Iraq that they need someone to blame.
They can't blame Paul Bremer or George Tenet, two of the senior
losers in the mix, because the President decided to give them u201CMedals
of Freedomu201D this week, the highest honor the U.S. government can
give to an American civilian. Talk about devaluing the coin of the
Now the neo-con puppeteers who have had Rummy on their strings
for many, many years know absolutely, positively that he has not
been more than a pretty face at the Pentagon for these last four
years. But they have to pretend that if it were not for Rummy, all
would be just fine in Iraq and they would not now have to paint
rosy scenarios about how it will all come out okay, if only the
President would get rid of their longtime pal. The clearest sign
that Rummy has been chosen as the fall guy for their collective
blunders was the Washington Post's op-ed this week by Bill
Kristol, editor of Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard. Rupert,
who also owns the Fox War Channel, has just plunked down $44 million,
cash, for the Manhattan u201Capartmentu201D once occupied by Laurence Rockefeller.
War has been a great business for Rupert and his team.
You may think I am being sarcastic in my defense of Rumsfeld,
but I am deadly serious. As Pentagon chief, it was his primary responsibility
to take the decision of the President to go to war against Iraq
and win as quickly as possible, with the least expense in blood
and treasure. And by gosh, Rummy did it. Iraq fell like a rotten
apple in a matter of weeks, u201CMission Accomplished,u201D with an amazingly
small number of casualties.
Then why is it that Bill Kristol, who was one of the three or
four architects of the war, now argues Rumsfeld is the goat? It
wasn't Rumsfeld who decided that the war would be a cakewalk, with
the people of Iraq welcoming the troops with bouquets and kisses.
That was Vice President Cheney, the top of the neo-con power pyramid
in the White House compound, who has had Richard Perle and Paul
Wolfowitz whispering u201Cwaru201D in his ear all the way back to Governor
Bush's early plans for the 2000 presidential campaign. So Kristol
can't very well demand the Veep's head.
Next in the chain of command responsible for all that followed
after the President announced u201CMission Accomplishedu201D was Condoleezza
Rice, the President's National Security Advisor. After all, her
job was to take the various strands of intelligence coming to the
White House and distill them for the President so he could make
intelligent decisions. The CIA said it would be a "slam dunk" to
find weapons of mass destruction once Iraq was occupied. Condi didn't
distill a blessed thing. But Bill Kristol can't very well demand
the head of Condi Rice for her incompetence at the National Security
Council. The President thinks she's swell. She will soon be Secretary
of State!!
As far as I know Rumsfeld never made any of the key decisions
that have brought chaos to Iraq. He did what he was told to do,
which is why it is now so hard to find his u201Cfingerprintsu201D on the
moves to disband the Iraqi army or the decision to level Falluja
to win the minds and hearts of the people of Falluja and their friends
and relatives in other parts of the Sunni Triangle. It wasn't his
decision to install Iyad Allawi as prime minister in the interim
government, with Allawi's popularity so low for ordering the attacks
on Falluja that he may not win a seat in the National Assembly in
next month's voting.
So the neo-cons have decided Rumsfeld has to take the fall. He's
perfect for the job, because he can so easily be replaced by someone
else willing to take orders from Perle and Wolfie. And his remark
to the soldier who asked him in Kuwait last week why his Humvee
still doesn't have body armor (u201CYou go to war with the tools you
have, not those you wish you had.u201D) sent him way down in the public
opinion polls. CNN's Lou Dobbs asked his viewers to vote on whether
they support Rummy or not, and you could see the amazement on his
face when he reported the tally at the end of his show: 2% support,
94% no support, 4% undecided!!
Well, I'm one of the 2%, I guess. I think Rummy deserves the Medal
of Freedom!
Grumbling Swells on Rumsfeld's Right Flank
By Todd S. Purdum
New York Times
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 – Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's terse
response last week to a National Guardsman's concerns about a lack
of battle armor in Iraq has set off a sharp round of fresh criticism
of him from some fellow Bush supporters, including prominent Republican
senators, a retired general and a leading intellectual architect
of the war.
"I think there are increasing concerns about the secretary's leadership
of the war, the repeated failures to predict the strengths of the
insurgency, the lack of essential safety equipment for our troops,
the reluctance to expand the number of troops," Senator Susan Collins
of Maine said Wednesday.
Ms. Collins, a member of the Armed Services Committee and a leader
in the recent successful fight to pass a bill overhauling intelligence-gathering,
over the objections of some in the Pentagon, added that "all of
those are factors that are causing people to raise more questions
to the secretary."
The sharp comments by Ms. Collins, together with other recent
statements Senator John McCain of Arizona, Senator Chuck Hagel of
Nebraska and Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who led American forces
in the Persian Gulf war in 1991 and, after his retirement, twice
campaigned for President Bush, suggested that the ground might well
be shifting a bit under Mr. Rumsfeld.
Mr. Rumsfeld has been the subject of criticism and the butt of
jokes on late-night television since he answered a complaint by
Specialist Thomas Wilson of the Tennessee National Guard about a
lack of armor on vehicles bound for Iraq by asserting, "You go to
war with the Army you have." But several Republican aides on Capitol
Hill, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said it was an op-ed
article in The Washington Post on Wednesday by William Kristol
that distilled the criticism. Mr. Kristol, the editor of The
Weekly Standard, had long been one of the war's most ardent
supporters among intellectuals, but he cast Mr. Rumsfeld's comments
as part of a broader pattern of misjudgments and buck-passing and
concluded that Mr. Rumsfeld was not up to winning the peace. "Surely
Don Rumsfeld is not the defense secretary Bush should want to have
for the remainder of his second term," he wrote. American soldiers
"deserve a better defense secretary than the one we have."
The White House communications director, Dan Bartlett, told reporters
that "the president has every bit of confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld."
But some Republicans predicted that he would face even greater
skepticism and scrutiny from Congress in the coming months.
"My prediction is that the secretary will face tougher questioning
when he comes before the Senate Armed Services Committee and other
Congressional committees," Ms. Collins said. But, she noted, "it's
obviously the president's call on whether Secretary Rumsfeld goes
or stays, and it looks like the president wants him to stay, at
least for now."
Mr. Kristol, whose magazine has been critical of Mr. Rumsfeld
for nearly two years, said Mr. Rumsfeld's comments to Specialist
Wilson were "really the final straw."
"For me, it's the combination of the arrogance and the buck-passing
manifested in that statement, with the fundamental error he's made
for a year and a half now," Mr. Kristol said. "That error, from
my point of view, is that his theory about the military is at odds
with the president's geopolitical strategy. He wants this light,
transformed military, but we've got to win a real war, which involves
using a lot of troops and building a nation, and that's at the core
of the president's strategy for rebuilding the Middle East."
He added, "His stubborn attachment to his particular military
theory had really hurt the nation's ability to carry out its foreign
Mr. McCain, a frequent critic of Mr. Rumsfeld, told The Associated
Press on Monday that he had "no confidence" in the secretary.
On CNN last Sunday, Mr. Hagel said, "That soldier, and those men
and women there, deserved a far better answer from their secretary
of defense than a flippant comment."
General Schwarzkopf told MSNBC on Monday that he was angered "by
the words of the secretary of defense when he laid it all on the
Army, as if he, the secretary of defense, didn't have anything to
do with the Army and the Army was over there doing it themselves,
screwing up.

Winn Perry continue their partnership with Alden on a second piece of footwear, adopting Alden's Navy Blucher High Boot with inspiration from "Pershing" Trench Boots, also known to as "Little Tanks."
When the Pershing Boots were received in 1918, the soldiers of the U.S. 1st Division rubbed them with a treatment, which consisted of 2 parts beef tallow (beef fat basically) to 1 part Neatsfoot oil. This experiment, referred to as "dubbing", was supposed to make the boots more waterproof and gave them a darker, oiled appearance. For our "Little Tanks", we made them to Alden New England standards with a heavily oiled reverse chamois leather and Alden's plantation crepe sole with leather tip. This combination certainly makes them pretty weather proof and quite a bit more comfortable than the originals, which had a triple leather sole with iron toe cleats, heal plates and hobnails, a few of the reasons they were referred to as Little Tanks. While not built for fighting in the trenches, these boots will still be very happy taking some abuse.
Available now through Winn Perry with a retail price of $420 USD.

Have a question about this item?
This Civil War Union Kepi Cap was modeled after the most common style of hat that was worn by Union troops during the course of the civil war. The kepi was also known as a forage cap or a bummers cap, due to it being as shapeless as a feedbag. A traditional kepi is a hat that features a flat, circular top, as well as a small visor. This kepi is navy blue, mimicking the color that Union troops wore when they marched into battle. The cap also features a decorative little emblem that features a pair of crossed rifles. If you are looking for a cap to complete your classic and historical soldier look, or if you are just a collector looking for a piece of history, then this Civil War Union Kepi Cap is just the hat you are looking for in either circumstance.

I have practiced law for 21 years. I attended The Dickinson School Law of Pennsylvania State University (1990). In 2008, to better my litigation skills and courtroom presence I earned a Master's Degree in Trial Advocacy from Temple University, The James E. Beasley School of Law. Although many lawyers are educated, without compassion and integrity their reputation will not generate outcomes or will not lead to referrals. This correlates to some of the values I learned from my parents, to whom I owe a great debt.
My dad, Eliot, drove a truck for a living and exemplified an exceptional work ethic. My mom, Anna, was a secretary and she valued a good education, went back to school and earned her degree in her 50's. She also stressed being kind to everybody. They both wanted their children to have a better life and to advance themselves. They encouraged us from a young age to do well in school. My parents also emphasized that through hard work, and living by the Golden Rule ("do unto others as you would have them do unto you") were the keys to success. Growing up I was taught to treat everyone with respect and the importance of dealing with people honestly. This principle and philosophy guide Leonard Rivera Law and our approach towards our clients. When clients come to our office we realize they are dealing with difficult situations under much stress. We treat them as if they were family and we treat them with honesty and respect. It is this reputation that has led us to be retained by clients whose cases settled for $2.1 million and $6.5 million. Honesty, compassion and respect generates integrity, reputation, outcome and referrals.

Gen. James W. Denver
Civil War general, territorial governor and potential presidential candidate, James W. Denver personified "manifest destiny." A room of the museum contains General Denver's personal library and artifacts from his military and governmental careers.
Born in 1817 near Winchester, Virginia, he and his family moved west to a farm near Wilmington in 1831. After receiving a degree from the Cincinnati Law School, he moved to Platte City, Mo., and opened a law office with a partner.
Always in motion, Denver recruited a volunteer infantry in the war against Mexico and served under Gen. Winfield Scott. He led a party overland to California during the Forty-niner gold rush. He served in the California State Senate, was appointed secretary of state from California and elected to Congress from California in 1855.
That same year he married Catherine Rombach, daughter of Matthew Rombach of Wilmington where the couple made their home.
Involved in national politics, Denver served as commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1857, governor of the Kansas Territory during the era of "Bleeding Kansas," and in the Civil War became brigadier general of all federal troops in Kansas.
In the later years of Denver's career, he organized a Washington, D.C., law firm representing Indians against the U.S. government for treaty violations.
Eli Harvey, artist and sculptor
Eli Harvey, internationally known artist and sculptor, was born Sept. 23, 1860, near Springfield Friends Meeting in Clinton County, and died Feb. 10, 1957, at his home and studio in Alhambra, Calif. His ashes are buried at the Harvey family lot in Springfield Friends Cemetery.
Before his death, Harvey gave many of his paintings and bronzes to the historical society.
The collection of paintings and sculpture shown in the gallery at Rombach Place are by Harvey including a bronze copy of a bull elk, symbol of the Order of Elks, commissioned in 1904.
Specializing in the sculpture of animals, Harvey's credits include Brown University's mascot, "Brown bear," the J.C. Penney bull for mail order merchant James C. Penney, and decorations for the lion house at the New York Zoological Park.
Carl Moon, photographer of the Southwest
The second floor hallway makes a gallery for the photographs of Southwest Indians taken by Carl Moon in the early 1900s. Originally from Wilmington, Moon was among the first to photograph American Indians in their natural habitat.
Drawn to the Southwest by his abiding interest in Indian culture and an intense desire to preserve what he saw as a vanishing way of life, he spent many years traveling and taking pictures among the various tribes, primarily in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
His wife, Grace Purdie Moon, once remarked, "Mr. Moon and I like to write about Indians and picture them because I think way down in our hearts, we almost wish we were Indians ourselves."
The Textile Room
The Textile Room includes Quaker (the Society of Friends) quilts and coverlets. Quakers played an early and prominent role in the settlement of Clinton County.
Quaker influence remains today with over a half dozen active Quaker meetings in Clinton County. In 1870, a Society of Friends purchased the struggling Franklin College and established the Quaker college Wilmington College.
Of particular interest in the Textile Room is the abolitionist quilt, circa 1842, made by abolitionist Quakers in Clinton County and Newport, Indiana. Measuring about six feet square, each of its 16 blocks is signed by its Quaker woman maker.
While the quilt's exact cause for creation remains unknown, scholar Ricky Clark, in the craft magazine "Piecework" (July/August 1995), suggests it was made by the women to strengthen bonds between the two Friends meetings during the abolition separation of 1843, "when Quakers were so divided over the question of abolition that members left or were excluded from the particular Quaker meetings to which they belong."
Artifacts, clothing, furnishings
In the Artifact room are 19th and early 20th century artifacts such as medical and surgical equipment, hand tools, kitchen utensils, an Edison cylinder phonograph, and Adena Indian relics.
The Society has a large textile collection and periodically features different eras of fashion.

NICK Compton was denied the chance to reach 1,000 runs by the end of May when rain brought a premature halt to the second day of Somerset's County Championship match at Worcester yesterday (May 31).
Compton seemed to have every chance of reaching the milestone when the Cidermen began their first innings immediately after lunch.
Compton, batting at No3, was soon at the crease following the dismissal of Alex Barrow in the seventh over.
But with the 28-year-old on 9 not out - needing another 50 to reach 1,000 - the heavens intervened.
Had Compton achieved the feat he would have been in exalted company, joining WG Grace, Don Bradman, Wally Hammond, Bill Edrich, Tom Hayward, Charlie Hallows, Glenn Turner and Graeme Hick as the only run machines to reach the total in the last 117 years.
Somerset are due to resume their innings this morning on 27-2 in reply to Worcester's 340 all out.

When search engines like Google and Yahoo index your site they use many different criteria in determining what keywords your site should rank well for. One of the more important criteria is the use of your keywords or keyword phrases in the body text of your web site. If you want to rank well for a certain phrase or word you need to have that phrase or word appear throughout the site. You don't want to overdo it, but you need to be diligent about putting the keywords or keyword phrases where applicable in the body text of your site.
"It is important to use the keyword phrase throughout the page where it makes sense. As engines get more sophisticated, it's not just the targeted keyword phrase that counts, but the mix of all the words on the page that help to determine what the page is about." This advice is given by Scottie Claiborne when he spoke about adding your keywords and phrases into your site. If you do too much, the engines will ignore you, if you do too little you may suffer in the rankings. Barry Welford suggests using keywords, "Particularly in the starting and ending paragraphs." If you start your text off with some keyword relevant text and end the text on your site with some keyword relevant text you should be in good shape.
Another factor to take into consideration is the amount of text on your site compared to the number of uses of the keyword. Some people will call this keyword density and will claim there is a magic number you want to hit. Many experts including Christ Boggs disagree. "Use of semantic variations and less focus on keyword density seems to be key. Go "naturelle!" Chris advises. Using common sense will get you a long way here. If you have a lot of text on the site, you can have more occurrences of the keywords or keyword phrases. If you have very little text, you don't want too much so fewer uses will work just fine. In the end content is king. You want to write text on your site that will be useful to visitors and will contain the keywords you want to work in. You get good rankings, your visitors get a good, useful site and everyone is happy.

The European Biodiesel Board says the US is fixing prices and dumping cheap biodiesel in Europe, according to ICIS news.
(Disclosure: I work for ICIS: About ICIS)
My friend Mark Watts, quotes the EBB as saying
"In most EU countries EEB member companies are experiencing dumping competition from B99 blends which are offered in the market as pure biodiesel with a substantial discount".
These subsidies were in some cases thought to be above €150/tonne ($200/tonne).
The EBB continues in a letter to EU trade commissioner, Peter Mandleson
EU producers were being pushed out of business by price-setting, which has allowed large discounts on imports from the US
If this is true then European Biofuel producers face two difficulties. Firstly, the US Biodiesel industry is heavily subsidised in he US because of tax breaks, and it would be politically difficult to remove these.
Secondly, it is not illegal in the US for American firms to operate as cartels outside the US, if that's what they're doing. An amendment to the Sherman Act, called the Web-Pomerene act, makes it legal.
So, the European biodiesel industry will have to rely on political pressure from the European Union to sort the problem out.

Back when pterodactyls still ruled the sky, I attended a modest journalism school on the prairies, where I learned the high value placed on conciseness. Flashy writing style, a clever hand with a slick 'bookend' to wrap an article; all of these paled in importance against the value of packing the maximum meaning into the fewest words. Only accuracy and objectivity trumped conciseness in the pre-O.J. heyday of journalism.
This, then, is likely to be the source of my appreciation for the art of the obituary. A well written obit is a tiny, perfect gem of writing, encapsulating the birth, life and death of everyone from your great-aunt Petunia to Elvis in the same pithy two or three paragraphs.
Much less appreciated than that other exemplar of brevity, the much ballyhooed headline specialist – and indeed, often thought of as just a tad bit off, like that kid you knew in Grade Nine who brought his dad's books about Hitler to school – the obit writer is nevertheless as accomplished a surgeon with the delete key.
In her mordantly funy book The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries, author Marilyn Johnson describes the art of the obituarist (and I love the collective noun she coins for her ilk: "a wake of obituarists") as well as their peculiar social rituals (another revelation: like any other occupation, obituarists gather together for an annual Vegas summit, the Great Obituary Writers' International Conference) and motivations.
A fin de siecle feeling about old media may also be one of the motivations behind my idea to create the Newsvine group –Thirty– to collect obits and associated ephemera. I am starting to believe the hype behind Web 2.0, and suspect that it's right in hypothesizing that the death of the newspaper is not far off. If this is true, as Johnson writes, it's only appropriate that the obit as an art form is flourishing.

Local historians honoured
Several Colchester County residents were hounoured with special awards last week presented by the Colchester Historical Society.
Gordon Crowe of Stewiacke, Heather Dau, formerly of Bass River and now living in the United States, Sharon Corcoran of Truro, and Truro's Douglas Moffat were recognized for their individual efforts to preserve history.
Truro's Pam Gillespie-Tonary was also honoured. She was recognized as a grant recipient for her heritage home at 140 Pleasant St. The home is 104 years old and Gillespie-Tonary has spent many hours restoring the back and is about to redo the front of the home.
We congratulate all the award recipients and encourage others to take up the torch in an effort to preserve local history before it is lost to future generations.
Above and beyond the call of duty
The community said a sad farewell last week to an outstanding Great Village citizen, devoted family man, dedicated volunteer, businessman and firefighter.
Robert Layton, Nova Scotia's longest serving active volunteer firefighter, passed away on Monday, Feb. 24, at the age of 85.
Layton was a member of the Great Village and District Fire Brigade for 68 years and was the proprietor of Layton's General Store until his retirement years.
Layton was also active in St. James United Church, serving as an elder, singing in the choir and lending a hand at church and legion suppers.
Masters swimmers qualify for world championship
Five local swimmers will be heading to Montreal in July to compete in the 15th Fina World Master Championship event.
The swimmers, Margot Begin-Gillis, Veronica McMillan, Carl Ballard, Ken Smith and Peter Grant, achieved the times at the Halifax Chronos masters long course meet at Centennial Pool in Halifax.
Ballard, competing in the age 45 to 49 category, even set a new provincial record while winning the 100m backstroke
We wish them all the best as they dive into the national competition.

A Spanish Love Affair
Una historia de Amor español
Did I get your attention with my title? For all of you who told me you were sure I'd meet a handsome Spaniard and fall in love, well.... that hasn't happened yet unfortunately, but I did have a one day love affair with BARCELONA!! I have limited weekends left in Spain so I decided to book a quick trip to Barcelona. I really only had one full day there which was not enough! I truly loved what I saw of this beautiful city. I took a bike tour so I could see the highlights in a speedy manner. A British guy named Steve was our guide. He was full of great information!
First stop, La Sagrada Familia (What Gaudi was working on at the time of his death in 1926)
This was the "Gothic" side of the church & my favorite side. I found it very intriguing. It has sort of a melting castle appearance. To the left you can see a newer part of the building.
This was the curvilinear side.
I found this building quite interesting. Steve said that it is predicted to be completed by 2026, 100 years from Gaudi's death. From the beginning it was meant to be multidimensional including different styles of architecture and different eras of time. Steve thinks it will collapse before completion because the foundation may not be strong enough to hold when a high speed train line between Perpignon and Barcelona is completed and starts running right beneath it. Hmm, I would assume the engineers are anticipating this and reinforcing the foundation. Just in case, good thing I saw it now!
We also visited The Cascada, an arch and water fountain built in 1888 for the Universal Exhibition. It was loosely based on the Trevi fountain in Rome and Gaudi assisted. He was a student at the time.
Of course we also visited the beach. A beach is a beach is a beach though.
The bike tour was a great choice for having such a short time.
For the rest of the afternoon and evening I walked around some of the different neighborhoods. There were a ton of great food options for dinner which was a welcome break from Salamanca!
I love you Barcelona! :-)

Matt Handley's new album has been a long time coming.
Photo: Supplied
Matt Handley's new album is the product of a long, tough emotional journey, writes Craig Mathieson.
Are congratulations or commiserations in order when appraising Matt Handley's new album, Won't Get Over You?
The first solo effort from Pollyanna's former frontman is an evocative, minimally adorned classic in the making, a song cycle about bitter heartbreak that establishes its credentials from the first line: "How can I expect the love from another," Handley quietly sings, "When I can't stand myself?" He's made a wonderful record about very bad times.
''The record documents a period where I was in a reflective mood," explains Handley.
"I was at the stage where my life had been through a couple of substantial phases and I was at the point where I was asking myself, 'What have I learnt from the last few years? What have I done? What should I have done?'
"Contemplating these questions was a way of quietly passing the day, but instead of thinking about it I wrote these songs."
Neatly dressed in jeans, shirt and sleeveless jumper, with a monk's cropped hair and beard, Handley is an unassuming figure.
In a few years he'll be able to go to fancy dress parties as the late director Stanley Kubrick.
Won't Get Over You is a reflection of its maker: reserved at first, but with a steadily held gaze that reveals deeper truths. The tone is harsh but composed; the anger has been leached away, leaving songs such as Rubbing Me Out, in which Handley documents the "cancer in your heart".
''The lyrics are quite direct, caustic even," he suggests, before breaking off into an oblique reply.
''I have a bit of a reputation for being an old man. I get stuck in my ways. I don't react well to change.''
Another aside, about how he came to name the backing band that will tour the album with him in July, the Dagger Stares, is equally illuminating. "I've been told that when we're rehearsing new songs I have a tendency to get over-serious. I tend to shoot stares at other band members."
Band rehearsals are an uncommon activity for Handley.
Won't Get Over You has been a record made in solitude, beginning in 2002 when Pollyanna, one of alternarock's next big things from the mid-1990s, broke up after the release of their fourth and best album, Didn't Feel A Thing.
At the same time a personal relationship ended, leaving Handley without a band, record label or partner.
Initially the Brighton-based songwriter kept busy working for other groups. He tour-managed the likes of Jebediah and the Living End and slowly recovered his own hunger to play live.
Eventually he began to work on a solo set, spending two years finessing a small batch of compositions. "I pieced it together whenever I had the chance and finances," Handley says.
With the tracks digitally marshalled, it was a case of Have Disc, Will Tinker.
He would intermittently spend a day or two in various studios by himself, adding parts and augmenting his homemade demo recordings.
Starting from a two-piece drum kit - a floor tom tuned low and a snare - Handley carefully layered the instrumentation, always ruminating on what he was creating.
"There were definitely times it was a harrowing process - I went through mood swings," he says. "I didn't always have the strength of my own convictions to say that this was what I wanted to do. I did consider chucking it in."
Won't Get Over You is out on Monday through Rogue Records/Inertia.
Get The Age home delivered for as little as $2.70 a week*

Los Angeles Times staff writer James Rainey has an article today taking a look at the lack of love for John McCain on YouTube compared to the multiple hosannas found when searching for videos of the Obamessiah:
Search "John McCain" on YouTube and you'll find the latest broadside, by Brave New Films of Culver City, and a lot more that's not good for a candidate who's built his reputation on constancy and authenticity.
Six of the top 10 videos returned by a "John McCain" YouTube search Thursday pegged the 71-year-old as inconsistent, extreme, wooden or a combination of the three. (The one clearly favorable piece came from the McCain campaign and focused on his Navy service.)
Contrast that with a YouTube search of "Barack Obama." It's a swoon fest, with virtually all of the top entries featuring the Illinois senator at his eloquent, uplifting best. The videos range from the pop-icon worship of Scarlett Johansson and John Legend & Co. in "Yes We Can" (closing in on 13 million views) to a clip of the candidate's speech on race after the explosion over the controversial sermons of his onetime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

Virtually nothing has gone right for the Charlotte Bobcats this season, but perhaps they'll catch a break tonight when they end their season against the New York Knicks.
With the playoffs rapidly approaching, the Knicks are expected to rest Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler and Baron Davis will have limited minutes, if they play at all, according to the New York Daily News.
That might be just enough of a boost to help Charlotte end its 22-game losing streak and get the season-ending victory it needs to avoid having the worst winning percentage in NBA history.
With a loss, the Bobcats will finish at 7-59 and .106. The 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, with a 9-73 mark and .110 winning percentage, set the bar for NBA futility.
New York does have some incentive to win. A victory would mean their first-round opponent in the playoffs is Miami. With a loss, they'll face top-seeded Chicago. But both teams loom as tough adversaries for the Knicks. They were 1-3 this season against the Bulls and 0-3 against the Heat.
Charlotte couldn't handle Orlando last night, even though Dwight Howard was missing from the Magic lineup.
Besides New York's likely benching of its stars, the only thing the Bobcats have going for them is they'll be playing at home. But they also have had distractions the last couple of days, with owner Michael Jordan having to defend himself in the wake of critical comments about the organization from former coach Larry Brown.
So, is tonight's game just a meaningless time-killer before the postseason begins, or do you care about whether Jordan becomes known as the owner with the worst NBA team ever?

text: Sunday, March 25, 2001 East County airport slow in taking off Much was promised when the facility was built in 1994; a master plan will look at what it will take to grow BY SARAH ROHRS The Contra Costa (CA) Times BYRON -- On many days the sleepy silence is broken only by the wind rattling through the aluminum hangars. Occasionally, a pilot revs his engine and takes off. Then silence returns. The Byron Airport is the poor stepsister of the better known and busier Buchanan Field near Concord. Here, there are no towers directing air traffic, no flight schools, no businesses catering to the needs of pilots. Despite its lonely location and the perception of it being the county's forgotten airport, hopes are high the Byron Airport will someday play a role in bolstering the local economy. But seven years after opening, the county-owned facility still has no new plan for growing, making a profit or bringing some measure of prosperity to East Contra Costa County. It operates under an outdated 1986 master plan. There is a growing interest in the airport's economic growth, though, particularly because of the need to provide jobs for thousands of new residents. Brentwood, one of California's fastest-growing cities with about 20,000 residents, is next door. Each day thousands of commuters stream by on Byron Highway and Vasco Road to job centers elsewhere. Some say that with the right push the tiny airport could help bring jobs and economic growth to far East County. At the very least, such growth could make the airport profitable. Contra Costa County Supervisor Federal Glover said that Byron Airport is primed to grow and that more effort should go into marketing it. "It's one of the greatest opportunities for that area in terms of being able to bring economic development and jobs ..." Glover said. "We have to stimulate business out there and do some things to attract different businesses." David Mendez, airport director for both Byron and Buchanan, said a new master plan will examine what the airport needs to grow -- more hangars, longer runways and related businesses. "The potential is there. That's why everyone's excited," Mendez said. Others, particularly those long familiar with the airport, contend it is hampered by competition from other small airports and that it is too remote to draw business. They also say there is not as much overflow business from Buchanan as originally expected. Buchanan Field revenue subsidizes Byron Airport, making it a drain on county resources. And some development potential is automatically eliminated because 60 percent of the county's holdings are wildlife refuges set aside for kit foxes and other protected species. A deficit in the airport enterprise fund and dearth of commercial activity caught the eye of the 2000 Contra Costa County grand jury, which argued the county had neglected the facility. County officials disagreed, saying they are working on a long-range business plan. Mendez said he has whittled down the $1.4 million deficit. He is confident Byron eventually will be able to stand on its own two feet. The $20 million airport was built in 1994 with federal grants after more than 20 years of planning. It is at the end of a narrow road. Its neighbors are cattle ranches and wind farms. Byron Airport replaced the private Byron Airpark; its purpose was mainly to handle the overflow from airports in Concord, Oakland, Livermore and Hayward. The airport gained a touch of notoriety in 1997 when police found thousands of boxes of human cremains in a hangar, hidden there by a pilot who had been hired to scatter them. The pilot killed himself days after the gruesome discovery. The few families living near the airport have long ties to the land with several generations of families homesteading and raising cattle. Through the years, they have complained about noise from the jets and helicopters flying overhead and posed concerns about whether the airport would hurt chances to develop their property. If the airport does expand, they want to be heard. "We have property out there that's been very impacted," said landowner Diane Bradford. "Before the airport is enlarged, they need to think about the surrounding properties." To protect the airport, the county could restrict the Bradfords from building on part of their land. Weekend destination The airport is used mostly for recreation. Sky divers and recreational pilots flock here on sunny days and weekends. Helicopter pilots and pilots in training for Korean Airlines also use the facilities. One of the busiest tenants is Randy Howell of Discovery Bay, who owns and houses eight vintage Russian MiG-17 jets at the airport. He and his partners fly the shiny red planes in air and stunt shows. During the week, a handful of pilots fly out of the Byron airport to commute to work. A few businesses, such as U.S. Print in Brentwood, store commercial planes for trips to corporate headquarters. "We're very happy here," said Mike Tjaarda of Bay Area Sky Diving. "It's a beautiful runway, and the facilities are adequate." As a general aviation facility, the airport can handle almost any aircraft except large corporate jets and commercially scheduled flights. The 4,500-foot runway is long enough to handle Learjets, but there is no demand for such use and no corporate hangars. The biggest demand is for more hangars, which are now all full, said Mark Grosenheider, Byron Airport's operations specialist. Master plan Crucial decisions on airport growth hinge on the master plan that will be paid for with a $350,000 Federal Aviation Administration grant, which should come within the next three months. This master plan will look at the growth potential and possible uses, such as more hangars, offices and flight schools. The need for longer runways and wider roads will be examined. The master plan will take at least a year to complete, Mendez said. He said 10 to 15 years down the road, the airport could become a midsize cargo facility that could handle bigger and more planes. "Right now, Byron Airport fits its role well as a general reliever airport," Mendez said. Visions take flight In the meantime, a handful of entrepreneurs are waiting for the county's plan before committing themselves. Standing next to a swept-wing, silver MiG, Howell said the county has told him he needs to wait for the master plan before proposing to build a museum for aviation enthusiasts. Another airport user, pilot Rick Mann, said the county needs to take a stronger approach to promoting the airport or nothing will happen. Surrounded by undeveloped land, Byron has even more ability to grow commercially than Buchanan, consultants to the county have said. However, county officials want the airport to grow carefully so that it can avoid the kinds of problems that plague Buchanan Field, where homes and businesses extend nearly to the runways, and noise complaints are common. At Byron, planes fly mostly over undeveloped hills. But Mountain House, a new town with 16,000 projected homes east of the airport near Tracy, will be in the flight path. This could generate more noise complaints and land-use conflicts. Plans and more plans Neighboring cities include the airport in their economic plans. Byron, Brentwood and Discovery Bay believe the airport could be a key factor in bringing more jobs to their communities. Although some residents have complained about planes flying overhead, David Piepho, a Discovery Bay Town Council member, said the airport is desirable for his community. "Byron Airport adds to our quality of life. It's very convenient for a lot of folks," Piepho said. Don Manning, Contra Costa Economic Partnership business consultant, shares the view that the airport's expansion could be a boon for the area. "Byron Airport could be a centerpiece and a real catalyst for business activity," Manning said. Brentwood real estate agent Robert Moreno said the county needs to stop stalling and do some intelligent and creative planning to demonstrate the airport's potential. Until then, not much will change. "No one wants to take the first dip into the pool. Nobody is really doing anything," said Moreno, who has explored selling property on nearby Byron Hot Springs. At least one business is in the works: re-opening the Byron Hot Springs, a luxury health resort from the late 1800s to the 1930s. Dave Fowler of East Bay Associates said his new version of the resort, which will include a golf course, could complement the Byron Airport. He expects his resort to be built in two years. "It would help the airport," Fowler said. "It would give people a reason to fly in and golf, and it could help turn the economy around for the airport." Others, particularly those involved with Byron Airport's development for many years, said the airport's potential will not be easily realized because of its remote location and because of competition from airports in Stockton, Livermore and Rio Vista. Kathy Leighton of the Airport Land Use Commission and a fifth-generation Byron resident, does not see a boom in the immediate future, particularly because pilots needing a larger airport can easily go to Stockton. "I don't see it happening in my lifetime," Leighton said. "It's just not needed." Discovery Bay's Anthony Steller, a former member of the Airport Aviation Committee, said East County has unrealistic expectations about growth because the county made too many promises when it built the airport. The committee advises on the airport's operations and facilities. The airport mainly attracts recreational users, not businesses, Steller said. "They were promising everyone honeycomb and roses. People thought they were going to have a business park and that there would be an economic boom. They were elated because Byron has absolutely nothing," Steller said. Unfortunate timing also played a part in Byron's lack of growth, said Hal Yeager, who is president of People Over Planes, a citizens airport watchdog group based in Pleasant Hill. When the county started to plan the Byron facility about 20 years ago, Buchanan Field was reaching capacity, he said. Increasing insurance rates and rising fuel costs caused an industry recession in the early 1980s. Business slacked off at Buchanan, leaving less overflow for Byron, he said. The second hit occurred when nearby military bases closed and freed up even more airport facilities. Airport director Mendez said the decline is not as dramatic as Yeager portrays it. Byron Airport doesn't suffer from surrounding competition because it attracts mostly a recreational crowd, Mendez said. Whether Byron Airport will be able to turn the corner and help bring businesses to far East Contra Costa County remains to be seen. "Yes, there is interest in growth, and that's what the master plan will address," Mendez said. Someone will need to take a gamble to get the commercial ball rolling, a move that would make all the difference, said Steve Herrick of the Byron Municipal Advisory Council. "As soon as someone puts in a significant facility out there, it would be a nexus. It would like the first guy on the block. As time goes by, business at the airport could be beneficial to the airport and the people out here. Business is always good. It could bring jobs to our area," he said.

The editor of the York Daily Record on Aprl 19, 1993, had this in his editorial when half of the stained glass windows were installed: A clear vision: Many of York's fine old churches boast magnificent stained glass windows, but we think none can rival the beauty of the new stained glass windows at Salem United Church of Christ in Jacobus. Rather than buying expensive, professional stained glass windows, congregants made their own. The money saved can go to the stated true work of the church - spreading the Gospel and helping people, rather than buildings.
A long time ago, Hugh of St. Victor wrote, "Stained glass windows are Holy Scriptures...and since their brilliance lets the splendor of the True Light pass into the church, they enlighten those inside." If someone inside this church is enlightened and comes to the True Light (Christ), the over 4,000 volunteer hours cutting and putting together over 5,700 pieces of glass will have been very worthwhile.
You are invited to see our windows, but more importantly we would love to have you worship God with us on Sunday mornings.

I had the LSL and neck lift in Sept. 2009. My experience could not have better. The staff from the reception girls to the Drs was very positive. I had very little pain, more like discomfort. Of course I followed directions to the letter. This is my face after all.
I did have some scaring behind my left ear that I was not happy with. Dr. H fixed this in no time.
Would I do this again? You bet!!

Built to serve Saint-Laurent's diverse community in Montreal, the Bibliothèque du Boisé has collected another honorable accolade. Today, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada awarded the public library with its 2017 Green Building Award. The award will be presented during the RAIC/OAA Festival of Architecture in Ottawa on May 24 to 27.

After winning the City of Montreal's design competition, the Cardinal Hardy + Labonté Marcil + Eric Pelletier architecte consortium designed the 6,000 square-meter LEED-Platinum library, which was inaugurated in 2013. (Eric Pelletier architecte and Cardinal Hardy merged with Lemay in 2013 and 2014, respectively.)

Phyllis Lambert is 90 years strong, and the impact she has made in architecture in the last six decades still resonates to this day. While her influence in architecture is well known, what is Lambert's perspective on her own career? In celebration of her 90th birthday that was on January 24, the CCA in Montreal is currently exhibiting "Phyllis Lambert: 75 Years at Work".

Curated by the CCA Founding Director Emeritus herself, the exhibition highlights milestones like the early days in her career, her iconic role as Director of Planning of the Seagram Building, to her conservation and restoration projects in her native Montreal and abroad.

Originally built as the U.S. Pavilion in the memorable World Expo of 1967, the steel structural frame of Buckminster Fuller's Biosphere remains standing to this day as a sole landmark in Montreal's Parc Jean-Drapeau. In planning for the 50th anniversary of Expo 67 as well as Montreal's 375th anniversary next April, designer Dror Benshetrit of the New York-based practice Dror came up with the idea for adding, what do you know, a second geodesic dome near the Biosphere.

After touring Montreal's Île Sainte-Hélène with the Buckminster Fuller Institute, Benshetrit thought of a second dome as a way to help reinvigorate the seasonally used Expo 67 site grounds and evidently pay tribute to Fuller's landmark. Compared to the Biosphere, which is 76 meters in diameter and 62 meters high, Dror's proposed dome is a 150-meter-wide aluminum latticed sphere with a planted canopy.

The studio describes that its vegetated cover would act as a natural sound buffer and provide an enchanting public enviro...

The annual Phyllis Lambert Grant puts the Montreal design scene in the spotlight. Established in 2007 by the City and named in tribute to Montreal native architect Phyllis Lambert, the grant recognizes a locally based designer or firm — who has no more than 10 years of practice — for producing outstanding designs and research that show potential for longterm benefits for the city. For 2015, Pelletier de Fontenay won the $10,000 grant for their project "Architectures de la nature captive". Hubert Pelletier and Yves de Fontenay received the prize during a recent ceremony at City Hall, with Phyllis Lambert in attendance.

"Architectures de la nature captive" is a spin-off from their winning proposal with Kuehn Malvezzi for the upcoming Insectarium Montreal, and reflects the practice's ongoing investigation of the relationship between the built and natural environments. They'll use the grant for a trip to Germany to study topics related to the architecture of nature museums.

This is the work of Canadian architectural photographer Chris Forsyth who has been sharing his pictures on Instagram, looking to show how beautiful design is all around us. [...] "What draws me to the architecture in the metro system is its variety from station to station. I love the colours, the architectural styles and influences, and above all its very bold graphic appearance." [...] Forsyth uses long exposures to blur the motion and to remove traces of people passing through the shot.

Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza this week announced to donate his architectural archive to public architectural institutions in Portugal and Canada. The decision was motivated by Siza's desire of fostering discussion and dialogue in a research-oriented context.

One part of the archive will be donated to the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, and the other part will be given to two Portuguese institutions, the Fundação Gulbenkian in Lisbon and the Fundação de Serralves in Porto.

"The CCA is thrilled to accept this generous donation," remarked CCA Director Mirko Zardini. "I have known Álvaro Siza and followed his work closely for several decades. His architecture escapes easy classification, but always offers a lesson – a new way of seeing the world around us. His buildings have a distinct character and particular relationship to their urban or natural settings, always born from the desire to participate in the world. Siza's drawings and sketches reflect his ability to...

Twenty-two is the magic number for the OBLIKA architectural puzzle. Crafted by Jonathan Dorthe of Atelier-D from Montreal, Canada the 22-piece wooden puzzle could be a nifty tool for coming up with new design ideas or simply a fun therapeutic way to take a break during those hectic weeks at work or school.

Plus, the puzzle's sleek aesthetics make it appropriate for creative minds of any age. Each geometric piece is made of 9 1/2'' x 9 1/2'' wide x 1/4'' thick wood that features an etched linear design. Then you can arrange the pieces inside the wooden frame to form a neat square or skip the frame and go crazy putting together any shape you want. The puzzle also includes a paper grid with examples to spark ideas.

"I was inspired by a childhood game 'tangram' which is a simpler version. I wanted to make it more architectural and more complex," Dorthe wrote in an email. "That's why I added lots of pieces of different shapes and even circular shapes. The laser etched pattern adds a graphi...

Audiotopie was awarded $10,000 from the 2013 Phyllis Lambert Design Montreal Grant in Montreal, Canada earlier this week. Established in 2007, the annual grant distinguishes young, emerging Montreal designers who have shown excellence in their work and research study that can contribute to the city of Montreal.

 "The $10,000 grant will enable the Audiotopie team, which designs immersive sound works closely connected to physical spaces through creation of sensory experiences, to go on a study trip during which its members will compare sound environments in the underground spaces of three Asian cities."

Archinect's Architecture School Lecture Guide for Fall 2013

Here on Archinect we recently launched "Get Lectured", where we'll feature a school's lecture series--along with their snazzy posters--for the current season. Check back regularly to stay up-to-date and mark your calendars for any upcoming lectures you don't want to miss.

It's time to change things up a little here in GL. For starters, our first international school is McGill University School of Architecture in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Since 2001, the McGill School of Architecture has featured several notable names--and a colorful collection of posters -- in their seasonal lecture series. A few recent lecturers include Bjarke Ingels of BIG; ARUP Principal David Scott; Shigeru Ban; Jeanne Gang; Luc Courchesne of METALAB, and UPenn Emeritus Professor of Urbanism Witold Rybczynski. Another regular feature to take note of is their lunchtime Brown Bag ASA-sponsored lecture series.

Select lectures are also available as podcasts.

As a revealing new exhibit at the Canadian Centre for Architecture shows, ambivalence about digital architecture was characteristic of most of the architects who pioneered it, including Peter Eisenman, Chuck Hoberman and Shoei Yoh. "The computer has become an opportunistic gadget for most of the profession," Gehry tells the architect-cum-curator Greg Lynn in an interview for the exhibition catalogue.

 Curatorial practice as it emerged during the twentieth century is being extensively recast. The tremendous change in the status of the object, culture, the various disciplines, information and education, implies an inevitable transformation of the curator's role and competences. A renewed interest for curatorial practice has recently emerged within the field of architecture.

 For the third year the CCA launches two curatorial opportunities beginning in fall 2013: the Young Curator Program and the Curatorial Internships Program.

 Young Curator Program
 The Program offers the opportunity to propose and curate a project on the contemporary debate in architecture, urbanism, and landscape design during a residency of 3 months at the CCA. Read the guidelines here.
 Deadline extended to 5pm EST, Monday, 29 April 2013

 Cahier d'Exercices is located at the entrance level of the historic Ross warehouse-store. The stone façade, its cast iron columns, and an expansive brick wall (punctuated with pieces of wood and metal) that runs the length of the store recall the 19th Century building's industrial past as a retailer of large tissues, leathers and furs.

 Crossing the threshold, the visitor is invited to explore the boutique by the clever use of a "degradé" — or gradient effect — on the ceiling. The colour changes gradually from a reflective, latex-like black to a pure diaphanous white, drawing visitors toward a reflective, opalescent mirror that extends the perspective of the space.

 Placed at distinct intervals and delicately suspended from the ceiling, the racking system was custom designed by the architect to permit the clothing displayed to be perceived as a changing and evolving building material. Slightly reminiscent of the sculptural work of artist Fred Sandback, the straight, c...

 Montréal-based design outfit Atomic3 has shared with us their light installation, "Éclats de Verre" for Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles on Emilie-Gamelin square.

 Éclats de verre
 Place Émilie-Gamelin / Montreal / Canada
 December 15th, 2011 - February 26, 2012

 Montreal has long been known as the "city of a hundred steeples". Through the heart of this northern metropolis, ATOMIC3 has scattered Éclats de verre: a giant shattered stained-glass window reorganised into a playful maze that offers a unique immersive experience to its visitors, and a colourful panorama to passersby.

 Winner of the Créer l'hiver competition, Éclats de verre is one of three works that make up Luminothérapie 2012. The goal of this event produced by the Partenariat du Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal is to beat the winter blues, using interactive light-based installations.

 Word has been spreading since yesterday about the resignation of Michael Jemtrud, Director of McGill's School of Architecture. Archinect has just been anonymously informed, however, that "a very reliable senior faculty source within the school" has confirmed that the resignation was forced and that Jemtrud is not allowed to talk about it.

 The message we received follows:

 On Thursday, June 23, 2011, Michael Jemtrud was forced to resign from his position as Director of McGill University School of Architecture. Jemtrud was hired four years ago with a mandate to integrate current technologies into the professional programs, to reinvigorate critical discussion and research about their use, and to foster a clearer organizational structure and closer collaborations within the school's many professional and post-professional programs. Jemtrud approached the job with a distinct vision and direction, and an ability to move quickly while continuing to foster the school's longstanding str...

The Montreal UNESCO City of Design initiative aims at creating opportunities for designers in Montreal so as to give vital and tangible expression to Montréal's status as a UNESCO City of Design. First launched throught an investment of $1.2 million over three years (2007-2011), the initiative aims to fund design and architecture competitions as well as promote made-in-Montréal design initiatives via various digital communication tools.

 To celebrate the 5th anniversary of Montréal's designation of a UNESCO City of Design, the city will be hosting a year-long event titled Montréal, UNESCO City of Design, from May 2011 to May 2012.

Today, my husband cleaned out our fireplace and found a very dead, mummified bat. After chasing me around the house with it, he set it atop the mantel. He refuses to get rid of it, and calls it "Henry". FML
Today, a customer left their shopping cart behind their car and backed into it. She then came inside and threatened to sue me personally for not sending someone to collect it from where she left it. After 5 minutes of her yelling, I finally got a word in edgeways: I don't work there. FML
Today, I got break-up text. She called me a poor, broke, little dick, sorry excuse for a man and said that my mom should have swallowed me "as an egg". She also said that no one could ever want me. Thing is, I haven't had a girlfriend in 2 years. FML


text: As we look at the fourth quarter in early 2012, we do expect short term challenges in a number of our markets given the current weakness among consumers, budgetary constraints at the federal state municipal levels and its seasonal softening in the demand for delivery and service products. However, we are focused on the fact is to drive profitable growth, specifically momentum in service and delivery vehicles, particularly the opportunities in other projects or field service solutions as we call them.The recent stability in our emergency response chassis and body markets, the successful and full integration of Classic Fire, the launch of our new revolutionary commercial van product "The Reach" and the retooling of our operational structure, continued pursuit of additional profitable growth initiatives with Isuzu and diversification into one or two other markets through either acquisitions, alliances or organic.

As I mentioned earlier, Joe will review the financials in detail shortly, but now I am going to get into a more of a strategic review. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Vintage-inspired Homespun Charm
With wedding budgets shrinking these days, one option to consider is an intimate little wedding with lots of DIY details. In this case, the look is vintage-inspired with lacy luminarias, retro-floral melamine plates and home-made plaid napkins. Guests can be seated around one large banquet table for a family-style dinner and a few floral centerpieces could be supplemented with baskets of fresh fruit. Rather than a pricey wedding cake, cut and serve homemade pies (just like Gran used to make!).
