Brilliant, no more to say

FredWilson's recommendation
A great Bob Dylan record begs to put put on again and again. You never tire of it. Blood On The Tracks. Infidels. Highway 61. Planet Waves. Blonde on Blonde. Well Bob's new record, Modern Times, has been begging and getting a lot of airplay in our home since it was released earlier this week. This is not an in your face record, but it's a presence that can't be ignored either. My favorite tunes are the almost eight minute long laid-back Spirit on the Water, the stark ballad, [listen] Workingman's Blues #2, and the Katrina inspired [listen] The Levee's Gonna Break. The reviews have been outstanding and many are saying that Modern Times is the third in a string of records (Love and Theft and Time Out of Mind) that compares to Dylan's most productive periods. I think that may be true, but right now, we are enjoying Modern Times. And I expect it's going to get a lot of airtime this fall.

any new Dylan is fabulous, but this album is truly remarkable
thesonofhob's recommendation
Dylan's most recent effort. A very good attempt that is more Rockin' and Bluesish than folk. Recommended for anyone who loved his 2001 album, Love and Theft. Top Tracks: "Thunder on the Mountain," "Workingman's Blues #2" and "The Levee's Gonna Break" RIYL: Eric Clapton, Neil Young, The Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen
Margo's recommendation
anything but modern, the new album is bluesy americana. the tunes stick in your head, in a good way.
My Collections:
sadiranson's recommendation
so many good cuts on this and i've heard him perform them live several times now and they're even better, perhaps, live - dylan always takes license when performing live, but it's often better than the studio recording. Worth it for even "When the Deal Goes Down" and "Working Man's Blues" but really, almost every cut is good. A must have.
My Collections:
skyekat's recommendation
In his older age, Dylan really came into his voice. And his songwriting craft is none diminished with time. One of his strongest albums to date, a great album with roosty, bluesy sounds.

'New Moon' Cast's Bloody Good Bonding Session
True to character, vampire cast members (and their human counterparts) from New Moon headed out in Vancouver Thursday night to sink their teeth into big cuts of meat.
The likes of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart met for dinner at Gotham Steakhouse in the British Columbia town.
Moon producers pre-arranged the dinner of 25 guests, no doubt to foster relaxed bonding with the group of overnight-sensations.
And speaking of their instant fame, restaurant General Manager Christopher Langridge tells Celebuzz it hasn't spoiled the young stars.
"They were a pleasant bunch, very courteous," says Langridge. "It was just a nice social gathering. They enjoyed steak, a few cocktails, maybe some shooters."
They did, however, require private seating, as photographers hounded both the front and rear entrances.

Avantika (Kareena Kapoor), a Psychology professor in New York, decides to make her way back to India to be with her ailing father. She temporarily finds work at the prestigious Delhi University and meets Ehsaan Khan (Saif Ali Khan) a substitute teacher at the same University. Despite reservations about Ehsaan being a Muslim, her father agrees to bless their wedding. Avantika and Ehsaan are married and leave to start a new life in New York. As soon as they settle in, Avantika manages to find a job for Ehsaan at a local University. Their neighbours are conservative Muslims and their lifestyles are a revelation to Avantika. At dinner, she is taken away from Ehsaan into another quarter where all the women dine separately. They all seem to blindly accept and obey the code of conduct set by Nasreen, who along with her husband Bhaijaan are almost the de facto head of the neighborhood. All of them look up to her. All accept another young woman, Salma. Salma visits Avantika surreptitiously the next day and asks her not to trust anyone. She tells her that her own life is in danger and she needs help. What follows are a series of bizarre events that turn Avantika's life upside down and drive her into a morass of emotions that spin madly out of control taking her to a point of no return.

Citation: Wolf, A., Saliendra, N., Akshalov, K., Johnson, D.A., Laca, E.A. 2008. Effects of Different Eddy Covariance Correction Schemes on Energy Balance Closure and Comparisons with the Modified Bowen Ratio System. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology 148:942-952. Interpretive Summary: Accurate measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor fluxes are important to better understand the processes involved in carbon and water cycling and their possible role in global change. We used two eddy covariance (EC) sytems and a modified Bowen ratio system (MBR) to measure CO2 and water vapor fluxes above a shortgrass steppe in northeastern Kazakhstan. We processed these data and examined differences between these three measurement systems. We found that EC corrections have a strong effect on the Bowen ratio measured by EC. Two important corrections need to be used in processing EC data: 1) correction for signal asynchrony that accounts for the lag time between the infrared gas analyzer and sonic anemometer, and 2) the frequency domain correction for path-length averaging. Our comparisons showed the importance of field heterogeneity in determining field canopy gas exchange. Discrepancies between EC and MBR systems were highest during neutral periods when correlations between water vapor and CO2 were low, which violates the similarity assumption for the MBR technique. Our analysis of these data suggested that a screening technique could be used to exclude outlier data. The EC systems exhibited their largest discrepancies at night, while the MBR system exhibited occasional spikes of high photosynthetic uptake.
Technical Abstract: Eddy covariance (EC) and modified Bowen ratio (MBR) systems typically yield subtly different estimates of H, LE, and Fc. Our study analyzed the discrepancies between EC and MBR systems by first considering the role of the data processing algorithm used to estimate fluxes using EC and later examining the effects of atmospheric stability on discrepancies between EC and MBR. We found that EC correction algorithms disproportionately increased the magnitude of LE and Fc, and consequently had a strong effect on the Bowen ratio measured by EC. Two corrections not universally employed were each found to account for up to 20% of LE and Fc: 1) the correction for signal asynchrony by adjusting the lag between the infrared gas analyzer and the sonic anemometer, and the frequency domain correction for path-length averaging in both instruments. Comparison of fluxes between two EC systems located 10-m apart showed that LE and Fc are inherently more variable than H, highlighting the role of field heterogeneity in determining canopy gas exchange at very small spatial scales. When all relevant corrections were applied, no bias for H and LE was observed between EC and MBR. An examination of discrepancies between EC and MBR showed that the discrepancies were highest during neutral periods when shear drove vertical mixing much more than buoyancy. During these neutral periods, the correlation between T, H2O, and CO2 was much lower on average, which violates the similarity assumption critical for the MBR technique. The largest discrepancies in Fc in both systems were clearly visible when plotted against a light-response curve, which suggested that a screening technique could be used to exclude data that depart markedly from other recently collected data. The EC system tended to have the largest departures from the light-response curve at night, while the MBR system tended to show occasional spikes of high photosynthetic uptake.

Moscow (AFP) Aug 29, 2010
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Sunday opened the Russian section of a long-awaited oil pipeline that will carry Russian crude to China in a bid to diversify its oil exports away from Europe.
"The Russian part of the project is completed," Putin said at an opening ceremony in Skovorodino in the Far Eastern Amur region in comments published on his official web site.
The branch pipeline will ultimately transport crude oil from Siberia to refineries in the northeastern Chinese city of Daqing.
"For us this is an important project because we are beginning to diversify the supply of our energy resources," Putin said at the ceremony, attended by the head of China's National Energy Administration, Zhang Guobao.
"Up to now, the main supplies have been delivered to our European partners. And still today our European partners get around 120-130 million tonnes of Russian oil."
The pipeline will initially carry 30 million tonnes of oil a year to the energy-hungry Asia-Pacific region and will later build up to 50 million tonnes, Putin said.
"This is already noticeable competition with the European route," Putin said.
The Chinese side still needs to build 930 kilometres on its territory to link up the pipeline, he said, but added that Russia is "absolutely sure that Russian oil will run to China this year."
Last year, the Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft completed the construction of the first 2,694-kilometre (1,600-mile) section of the oil pipeline, which originates in Taishet in eastern Siberia.
Transneft in October 2008 signed an agreement with the Chinese oil group CNPC on the construction of a 67-kilometre branch line to China

President Obama is defending government investment in companies trying to create new energy sources, while seeming to distance himself from one of the more controversial programs: Solyndra.
"This was not our program, per se," Obama said in an interview aired today on radio's Marketplace program, discussing the now-bankrupt solar company the president visited in 2010 to tout his new energy program.
"Congress -- Democrats and Republicans -- put together a loan guarantee program," he said, "because they understood historically that when you get new industries, it's easy to raise money for start-ups, but if you want to take them to scale, oftentimes there's a lot of risk involved, and what the loan guarantee program was designed to do was to help start-up companies get to scale."
Republicans have criticized Obama over Solyndra's bankruptcy, saying it reflects the failure of his new energy investment plan. The California-based company had received more than $500 million in federal loan guarantees.
Republican Party spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski called Obama's comments "just another example of Obama saying anything to deflect from his failed policies. He was happy to tout Solyndra two years ago when he thought it was helpful to him but now that it's failed and cost taxpayers millions of dollars it's someone else's fault."
Obama told Marketplace that "obviously, we wish Solyndra hadn't gone bankrupt," but he cited one reason: "The Chinese were subsidizing their solar industry and flooding the market in ways that Solyndra couldn't compete."
Some firms may fail, but others will succeed and the country will benefit, Obama said.
"When you look at the overall portfolio, is it right for us to make sure that we're not just cashing in our chips and letting the Chinese or the Germans develop the technologies that we know are going to be critical in the future?" Obama said.
"I'm proud to say that we're going to continue to support it."

Hello and thank you for choosing Just Answer.
That sounds like the car has a bad crankshaft position sensor. This will cause the car to lose position, the motor looses spark and the car turns off. You can confirm this by doing a quick spark test when the car turns off and refuses to restart. If there is not spark, the sensor has gone bad.
Crankshaft position sensor : SU4101 $34.99
I would not suspect the pump. If when the car is running you are having no problems, I would not suspect the pump.
Do a spark test when the car shuts off and does not want to start. I am sure what you will find is that the car does not have spark, but has fuel.

Tokyo (AFP) June 02, 2013
Thousands of anti-nuclear demonstrators rallied in the Japanese capital Tokyo on Sunday as conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe considers restarting reactors.
Organisers said 7,500 people gathered at a park in the city centre, including disaster victims and celebrities such as Nobel literature laureate Kenzaburo Oe.
Protesters later marched through the capital, holding anti-nuclear banners including one which read: "No Nukes! Unevolved Apes Want Nukes!"
They also demonstrated outside the headquarters of Tokyo Electric Power Co, operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which was crippled by meltdowns after the March 2011 tsunami.
Abe, whose Liberal Democratic Party has close ties with the nation's powerful business circles, has repeatedly said he would allow reactor restarts if their safety could be ensured.
Japan turned off its 50 reactors for safety checks in the wake of the disaster but has restarted two of them, citing possible summertime power shortages.
Radiation from the plant, 220 kilometres (140 miles) northeast of Tokyo, spread over a wide area after the worst nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

Short, sharp shock treatment for E. coliJanuary 12, 2012
A short burst of low voltage alternating current can effectively eradicate E. coli bacteria growing on the surface of even heavily contaminated beef, according to a study published in the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health. The technique offers an inexpensive and easy to implement approach to reducing the risk of food poisoning, which can occur despite handlers complying with hygiene standards.
Food poisoning is a serious public-health issue, especially with the emergence of lethal and highly virulent strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli O157:H7, for example). Infection with this bacterium causes serious diarrhea, dehydration, kidney problems and can lead to serious long-term problems or even be fatal in children, the elderly and people with pre-existing health problems. Tens of thousands of people are affected by E. coli infection each year through eating contaminated beef and other food products. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 2500 people are hospitalized and there are several dozen deaths each year.
Now, Ajit Mahapatra and colleagues at Fort Valley State University, in Georgia and Virginia Tech have demonstrated that applying a low-voltage alternating current to beef samples inoculated with large numbers of the potentially lethal E. coli O157:H7 can almost completely deactivate the bacterium, which is usually present on the surface of contaminated meat. The team points out that the level of contamination used in their tests far exceeded the contamination that would be seen in commercial carcasses after slaughter.
Previous researchers had demonstrated that electricity can kill bacteria effectively. The study by Mahapatra and colleagues proves efficacy against E. coli O157:H7 at low voltage and low alternating current. It offers a quick and easy way to decontaminate at-risk, but otherwise safe beef without recourse to microbicidal chemicals or other more complicated treatment processes.

A study has found that a syringe-like device used to invade intestinal cells also acts as a traffic cop -- directing bacteria where to go and thereby enabling them to efficiently carry out infection.
The gut microbiomes of infants have an impact on autoimmunity
Exposure to pathogens early in life is beneficial to the education and development of the human immune system.
Microbial biosensor designed to evaluate water toxicity
Researchers of the Environmental Microbiology Group of the UAB Department of Genetics and Microbiology have developed a paper-based biosensor covered with bacteria to detect water toxicity.

Precision lock nuts with axial locking screws
Precision lock nuts in the KMD series (fig. 1) are preloaded with axial locking screws. After the front part of the lock nut is tightened against the bearing, the axial locking screws on the rear part are tightened (fig. 2). This preloads the threads and generates sufficient friction to prevent the nut from loosening under normal operating conditions (→ Loosening torque).
Installing and removing KMD lock nuts is simple and the axial location effective and reliable. It is possible to make micro adjustments of the axial position using the locking screws (→ Installation and removal).

Norwegian Dawn - Southern Caribbean: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by capefred
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Dawn - Southern Caribbean
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
I'll provide the 'laundry list':
The itinerary itself - NCL left a somewhat garbled and cut-off message on our answering machine less than 48 hours prior to embarkation that the itinerary had to be changed due to 'engine repair'. Instead of going to St. Thomas on our first port day and Grenada on our last port day, we went to San Juan on our first port day and St. Thomas on our last day. Grenada was scrapped. This would have been OK, except that we were in San Juan for a meager 4 ½ hours - not long enough to do anything! Also, we received two free St. Thomas excursion tickets from our travel agent, for which we could not change the dates, forcing us to purchase NCL-sponsored excursion tickets. More
Embarkation - We arrived at the port (NYC) just before 11:30 AM. We did not get on the ship until 1:15 PM. We were corralled into a line, then watched other lines get built around us. All of those lines boarded BEFORE we did!
Our stateroom - There were three of us in the cabin (an inside cabin on deck 4). The cabin was designed so that when then 'bunk' is pulled down, NO ONE can see the TV. If the TV had simply been placed on the opposite side from the bunk, we would have been able to see the TV.
Our neighbors - We had four teenage boys in the cabin next to us. Every evening (or should I say morning?), they would arrive back to the cabin between 1 and 2 AM. They were very noisy (laughing, yelling, falling off the bunks, etc.). Each night, we called reception to complain, and generally after two calls each night, they would quiet down. It was not until the 9th night of the 11 night cruise that they FINALLY stopped their nightly ritual. NCL did very little to stop their behavior. It was on the 9th day of the cruise that we confirmed our suspicions with reception; there was in fact an adult over the age of 21 registered in the cabin, as is required, but there was NOT an adult over 21 actually sleeping in the cabin. The adults were down the hall, in an oceanview cabin!
The Garden Cafe (buffet) - Finding a seat at breakfast time was a near impossibility. We had to circle and circle until an empty but dirty table appeared. We would then 'park' our 9-year old son at the table, clean it ourselves, and take turns going to the buffet. The Venetian was a better option for breakfast.
Service in the restaurants in general - VERY SLOW AND INCONSISTENT. With only a few exceptions, particularly a very nice waiter named Asmui, we had very slow service, sometimes waiting as long as 15 minutes between courses at dinnertime. On one occasion, our waiter in Impressions stood staring at me, waiting for me to finish my appetizer, then my salad, so that he could 'pounce' to remove it. He needed a lesson in food service etiquette!
Excursions - DO NOT DO THE STINGRAY SWIM IN ANTIGUA! The bus ride to the other end of the island took at least 30 minutes each way, over some VERY bumpy roads. The stingrays are kept in a fenced-in area, in water no more than 5 feet deep. The excursion was listed as a Stingray swim and snorkel. There really was not much to see other than the stingrays, since we were snorkeling in a fenced-in area, in 5 feet of water!
Key Cards - We had to have our key cards replaced five times in the 11 days, as they continually stopped working, leaving us locked out of our cabin. We were asked the obvious question each time - did you have anything magnetic near them? My son carried nothing in his pockets EXCEPT his key card. Finally, on the fifth try they decided that maybe someone should check our door!
The safe - It stopped working twice, leaving us high and dry. One on occasion, it was just as we were leaving to go onshore. Since our wallets and cameras were in the safe, we had to wait 20 minutes until someone came to fix it before we could go ashore!
OK, enough complaining...there were some positive elements to the trip:
Excursions - We had excellent excursions in Barbados (Turtle Swim and Shipwreck) and St. Thomas (Castaway Girl Snorkel).
Dining - The food in both La Tratorria and Salsa was quite good, though service was a bit inconsistent.
Entertainment - The Magician (Tim Hill) and the Juggler (Romano Frediani) were very entertaining. Tim Hill did a magic 'seminar' in the Cinema which was very interesting. He remained afterward for quite some time, talking with the boys who wanted some 'one-on-one' time. A great example of going the extra mile! My son was VERY interested in learning about card and coin tricks.
As I stated early, we had a very nice vacation overall. There just seemed to be a number of things that NCL did NOT do well, that could have made it a much more enjoyable cruise.
Our next cruise will probably be on an RCCL ship. Less

In this paper I explore how a group of female university students, mostly British Asian and in their late teens and early twenties, perform femininities in talk about heritage languages. I argue that analysis of this talk reveals ways in which the participants enact 'culturally intelligible' gendered subject positions. This frequently involves negotiating the norms of 'heteronormativity', constituting femininity in terms of marriage, motherhood and maintenance of heritage culture and language, and 'girl power', constituting femininity in terms of youth, sassiness, glamour and individualism. For these young women, I ask whether higher education can become a site in which they have the opportunities to explore these identifications and examine other ways of imagining the self and what their stories suggest about 'doing being' a young British Asian woman in London.
|Item Type:
|Additional Information:
|This article analyses spoken interaction gathered during a longitudinal project into language and identity with first year students from working-class, minority ethnic backgrounds. The focus is on the interaction between language and gender in spoken interaction recorded in the classroom. In particular, it looks at the gendered identity positions that emerge as second generation minority ethnic women talk about their heritage languages. It is part of a collection of London stories and provides a cutting edge account of life and education in London for British-born minority ethnic young women. This adds to previous studies in educational linguistics that have primarily looked at adolescents and have largely ignored gender as a dimension of identity. It has been published by the Journal of Language, Identity and Education, an international and interdisciplinary journal devoted to innovative and rigorous research and critical scholarship that helps define and advance inquiry concerned with intersecting issues related to language, identity, and education. This is an electronic version of an article published in Preece, Siân (2008) Multilingual gendered identities: female undergraduate students in London talk about heritage languages.

DC Comics asks artists to show their skill at killing off naked women
Fans of DC Comics must be starting to wonder if its many recent PR problemsaren't deliberate self-sabotage.
It's been less than a year since the artist-driven Hawkeye Initiative gave female comic fans a chance to ridicule the objectification of female characters in comics. It's also been less than a year since Anita Sarkeesian's Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series pointed out the long and storied tradition of women being treated as disposable in gaming. This itself comes more than a decade after DC's own Gail Simone first coined the term "women in refrigerators" to describe the long list of women in comics who've been violently killed or maimed in order to provide a story's male hero with "manpain."
But DC's latest art contest, featuring popular villain Harley Quinn, they're offering lucky artists the chance to begin their careers in the industry—if they can effectively draw a naked woman preparing to kill herself. This seems, at the very least, tone-deaf.
The contest comes on the eve of National Suicide Prevention Week, and many comics fans are outraged.
Harley Quinn is one of the most popular—and arguably one of the most sexualized—female characters in DC's deck. A member of a covert group of villains called Suicide Squad, she currently works for the U.S. government. The four panels DC wants fledgling artists to draw all depict Harley courting death. Panel 2 shows her hanging out in a crocodile pond, Panel 3, sitting happily in the mouth of a whale. But the final panel is both grim and blatantly sexual:
Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of "oh well, guess that's it for me" and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.
When comics fans on Tumblr discovered the contest this morning they were immediately incensed. "In order to participate in DC's latest talent search, you have to draw a female character committing suicide naked," wrotekstipetic. "I'm gonna assume I don't have to explain what's fucked up about this."
"I feel like there should be a PANEL 5 specification where you have to draw Harley walking into a refrigerator and closing the door behind her," echoed kviri.
Kstipetic encouraged artists to create their own "submissions" and flood DC with them. Theyatagarasu commented, "I'm reversing the gender later Hawkeye Initiative style and encouraging people to do the same. Also, suicide???? How fucking horrible."
But a baffled thebigomastar pointed out that suicide is a rather obvious choice for a member of the Suicide Squad, while genocider-cabbage opined:
I don't see the problem with this tbh. Harley Quinn is fucking crazy to begin with, and it seems to me she never actually pulls through with any of these suicides? I mean it's just a fictional character in a fictitious universe. Who cares?
But DC's move comes after an onslaught of conversations and controversieswithin the past few years around the topic of misogyny in geek culture, from women getting shamed in comic stores to #1ReasonWhy and the effects that systemic sexism in geek industries have on real women. Harley Quinn doesn't exist just on her own terms, but as a representation of DC's attitude towards its female characters. And the contest is essentially serving as a job application, with DC wanting its artists to be able to successfully draw and objectify nude female bodies.
On the DC Comics blog announcement, Seairra Willett expressed her discomfort directly to the contest creators:
I'm a sequential art student, and I find it a bit appalling that the requirement for panel 4 is essentially drawing a female character committing suicide naked. The sexualization of suicide is something I will not be putting effort into for a talent search. I'll let the other fanartist draw naked Harley in a bathtub. I'll gladly draw anything but sexualized characters and suicide scenes for a very well-developed character.
Meanwhile contest collaborator Jim Palmiotti allegedly got defensive with one fan who complained, then deleted his thread.
"Its done in chuck jones loony toons style [sic]," Palmiotti allegedly protested, although naked women looking "resigned" to their fate doesn't exactly summon up Daffy Duck—and comparing them to animals probably isn't the best way to endear yourself to an angry public.
It's already been a rough week for DC fans. On Thursday, the creative team ofBatwoman walked off the series after two years, citing editorial mismanagement and DC's unwillingness to let heroine Kate Kane, a lesbian, get married to her fiancée. For an alarming number of fans, this seems to be the last straw, coming after what seems to be an endless cycle of DC alienating its readers, driving away writers and artists, and jettisoning beloved characters and storylines.
"Literally never paying for anything from DC ever again," tumbledskiesofpluto.
On his blog, Stephen Harred had the last word--or rather the last draw. "Well, I submitted my entry. Sure hope I win:"
I'm not a comic fan so I am not up on any thing they are talking about in this article. The characters, and such.
But from what I read, I am not all that surprised that a woman must be drawn killing herself, naked or otherwise. Sadly.
Not really a 'community' I could ever get behind or want to be a part of.
I love comic books and especially the Batman comics. Harley is one of my favorite villianesses (sp?). I just think this is a bit sad on the part of DC. Don't they realize they have female fans as well?
Quoting terpmama:
Who does Stan lee draw for DC ? Marvel? I can never remember...
Wow, I am glad that I'm not a fan of DC comics. It seems that they have lost sight of what their fans will buy. And in the end, it is just a business like any other business. You do what sells, and apparently this isn't it.
Quoting PrimmednPunked:
Marvel.Quoting terpmama:
Who does Stan lee draw for DC ? Marvel? I can never remember...
I want to see it this way as well. I guess I was just taken aback when I read this. But you are right...it is "within character"
Quoting Mommy_of_Riley:
DC has and will always be darker than Marvel. It's always been that way and this depiction of Harley (while I understand why so many are upset by it) is something she would do. She's always been on the crazy side of things and has tried suicide in past comics so I understand where the idea came from...

I visited the venerable Tam O'Shanter Inn on Los Feliz Boulevard for the first time since they suspended lunch menu dining room service in keeping with the economy and in favor of the popular, less expensive sandwich bar. We had a pleasant mid-day experience with just enough carver selection and table service. Being a Lawry's landmark restaurant, the meats at the Tam are juicy and well roasted with a choice of roast beef, roast pork, pastrami, turkey and the signature prime rib carved to order and piled generously on a choice of breads. (I favor the big onion roll.)
There's a self-serve salad tray included plus a few side dish options, including Tam's distinctive creamed spinach for $3. The full bar is open and beverages are delivered to the table. If you can resist the sweet aftermath, (i.e. dessert), a typical food-only tab runs from $14 to $18. There's parking service and reservations are unnecessary. If you must talk business during lunch, dining room seating is available.
Tipping Tips
The domestic tipping code hasn't changed in years with 15- to 20 percent of the tab still the norm. When in doubt refer to the pre-tax dining tab and divide by five. Add or subtract a bit for excellence or frustrations. Never "stiff" a server or it may seem you don't know about tipping. For really bad service, leave a token 5 or 10 percent to express your disappointment. The inept server will get the message.
Traveling abroad changes all the rules, so it's smart to prepare before you set sail. In Europe restaurants customarily add about 15% percent to food and beverage charges but a small tip is still anticipated from the tourist – 5- or 10 percent will suffice. At your hotel, tip the maid about $5 daily while bellhops expect $2 per bag. Tip the doorman a dollar or two for hailing a taxi and such. The concierge will expect $5 for restaurant or theatre reservations. If he lands tickets to a sold out hit, reward him with $20 or so.
The rules for tipping on cruise ships have changed as of late. Passengers used to tip stewards and servers in cash on their final night aboard. Now the ship management simplifies the process by adding a daily gratuity of $10 or $15 per passenger to the bill. Most lines also add a 15 percent gratuity to the tab. Better pack along ample cash plus your platinum plastic when you sail. Check cash and valuables in the ship's safe and sleep easy.
On terra firma, most tour directors work long and hard to keep the journey smooth and should be rewarded $8 per day per traveler with half that amount also due to the coach driver. Make their lives bearable by being packed and ready on time.
Wherever you travel don't hesitate to ask responsible parties for local tipping and shopping advice. Happy landings!

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Everyone does Sunday brunch. But you're not everyone. You're sexy, confident, and a little dangerous — just like James Bond. But even agents of Her Majesty's Secret Service need eggs and a mimosa once every now and then to keep up their strength. Which is why you should do brunch at Vesper Brasserie. On Saturday (which, of course, is designed to fool any and all supervillains who notoriously have brunch only on Sunday), this poolside restaurant, named for one of 007's favorite cocktails, is a tribute to our favorite spy and offers a $28 prix fixe brunch that runs from noon to 4 p.m. The menu changes, because a spy has to stay on his or her toes, but expect to find the usual brunchy eggs and waffles along with some very seductive surprises such as a raw bar and a sushi station. A mimosa is included — shaken, not stirred. Stay for the pool party, which includes a live DJ until 8 p.m., and make a day of it. Is that Pussy Galore in the yellow bikini?
Nothing is more exciting than seeing the clock strike 5 p.m. when you're at work. You and your fellow employees dash to the front door of the office, elbow anyone who gets in your way, and head out in search of libation. We suggest Sandbar Sports Grill. Not only do the weekday happy hours offer half-priced drinks and appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m., but you can also catch almost any game on one of 26 TV sets. Sure, you might run into some UM frat bros on Thursday college nights, but the $3 bottled beer specials are worth it. The home of the fish taco also offers specials on the weekends. Grab a few $3.75 bloody marys on Saturdays and Sundays, or bring your paycheck stub in on Sundays to get 50 percent off your tab.
Though the Wynwood Arts District has evolved greatly in the past few years, its main strip has always been devoid of one key feature of any worthwhile neighborhood: a decent, no-nonsense, old-fashioned bar. Not to disrespect the venues serving drinks in the artsy area, but sometimes you just want to walk into a place with a 20-dollar bill in your pocket and leave with a few drinks in your gut. Thankfully, there's Wood Tavern. And tavern indeed is the perfect descriptor for this place, with wooden, brick, and plaid walls. There's also a buffalo head, a leprechaun statuette, and a profusion of comfy, vintage couches. Although it only opened this past December, the place has an air of familiarity. Of course, the sanely priced drinks including a pleasing selection of craft beers and signature cocktails, made us want to stick around. Forget familiarity, Wood is basically now our new best friend in Wynwood.
When you're looking for the velvet-rope experience without the South Beach parking hassle, Justin's Bar & Lounge has you covered. Promoted on Power 96 and El Zol 95, the club celebrates house, salsa, merengue, bachata, Top 40, hip-hop, and sports. The place offers ice-cold mojitos, a burning-hot dance floor, and VIP tables for very special bottle service (with $150 Grey Goose and Johnny Walker Black bottles). On weeknights, you can shoot a game of stick at the pool table, enjoy two-for-one drinks from 7 to 10 p.m., and get in with no cover charge. On Fridays and Saturdays, ladies enter free till midnight, dudes get in for $10 to $20, and the joint is packed with sexy Latinas, exotic Russian beauties, hombres, and Israeli playboys. Whether it's DJ Dudu, Berdugo, Empire, or E-Feezy on the decks, the music bangs, the people dance, and the liquor flows. Now that's what we call boozin'.
From the moment you buy your first brew, you half expect the other beer guzzlers to start chanting, "Chug, chug, chug, chug!" Owned by former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Craig Erickson, Hole in the Wall is a no-frills joint reminiscent of a college fraternity house's rec room. The décor consists of wood stools, benches, flat-screen TV sets, and a Galaga arcade game. There are also a couple of tables outside the entrance. Hole in the Wall is the spot to drink beer — and not any of those fancy microbrews either. Here, it's a steady stream of PBR, Budweiser, Miller Lite, and Yuengling. But connoisseurs can still get Guinness or Grolsch. The prices are hard to beat. Domestics run from $1.50 to $4 a glass, while imports go for $3.50 to $6. And you're gonna need a lot of cold lagers or ales to wash down the scrumptious chicken wings doused in Frank's RedHot sauce. A ten-wing platter costs $9. Or pig out on a 50-wing platter for $45 while watching the game with your friends. Hole in the Wall is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
It was after midnight on a recent Saturday when we found ourselves playing some eight ball and knocking back shots of Jägermeister as White Snake's "Here I Go Again" bumped through the loudspeakers. Cigarette smoke wafted through the Billiard Club, a strip-mall bar and sports lounge that has been happily serving the hard-working, hard-drinking middle-class residents of Miami Lakes, west Hialeah, and Hialeah Gardens for the past 13 years. The vibe is so chill you won't be surprised when you strike up a friendly conversation with owner Peter Tesser and he rewards you and your party with a round of drinks. He's the type of guy who wants all of his customers to feel like they are visiting a relative's house to watch the big game or fight. Flat-screens hanging at the main bar and over the pool tables show pay-per-view sporting events every weekend with little or no cover charge. Drinks are moderately priced. A glass or bottle of beer won't cost you more than $6, and a stiff drink will set you back no more than $10. A full-service kitchen cooks up popular bar food items plus burgers, chicken wings, and a New York strip steak that'll melt in your mouth. The Billiard Club opens at 4 p.m. daily. Last call is at 3 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends.

Frank O'Hara Poems
Why I Am Not A Painter
I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not. Well,
for instance, Mike Goldberg
is starting a painting. I drop in.
"Sit down and have a drink" he
says. I drink; we drink. I look
up. "You have SARDINES in it."
"Yes, it needed something there."
"Oh." I go and the days go by
and I drop in again. The painting
is going on, and I go, and the days
go by. I drop in. The painting is
finished. "Where's SARDINES?"
All that's left is just
letters, "It was too much," Mike says.
But me? One day I am thinking ...
Call Me
The eager note on my door said "Call me,"
call when you get in!" so I quickly threw
a few tangerines into my overnight bag,
straightened my eyelids and shoulders, and
headed straight for the door. It was autumn
by the time I got around the corner, oh all
unwilling to be either pertinent or bemused, but
the leaves were brighter than grass on the sidewalk!

Rubber Tracks for Bobcat/John Deere/Case Track Loaders
We are not an equipment dealer pretending to know a few things about Rubber Tracks. We sell rubber tracks and undercarriage for a living. We carry a full line of Rubber Tracks for Track Loaders, including the Bobcat T140, T180, T190, T200, T250, T300, T320, T630, T650, T750, T770, T870, 864; John Deere CT319, CT322, CT323, CT329, CT332, CT333; Case 420ct, 440ct, 445ct, 450ct, TR270, TR320, TR380 TV320, TV380. Also, Komatsu and New Holland Track Loaders.
In every market there are mega companies with deep pockets for advertising and telemarketers. We have no fancy slogans or commission based sales here. We are 100% American owned. With low overhead and years of experience, we sell you quality rubber tracks and undercarriage for less.
QUALITY. We have spent years working with aftermarket manufacturers to find the best tracks for the best price. This experience allows us to offer durable products at unbeatable prices. We are not the cheapest tracks on the internet, but close. High price does not necessarily translate into high quality either. So why should you spend a couple dollars more? Because we are talking about hundreds of hours more life. With our low overhead, we could buy/sell the cheapest priced/quality tracks. But why buy inferior products to make an extra $25. We sincerely want your business for life and want you to spread the word. Here are a few reasons why you should consider our quality Aftermarket Rubber Tracks.
*We buy tracks from a manufacturer who builds OEM tracks for several major Machine Manufacturers.
*The tracks are designed by engineers to suit specific weight and load requirements for track loaders and excavators, while enhancing their traction grip and extending wear life. Lug patterns are designed for increased traction, decreased tearing, and even ground pressure.
*The manufacturer has quality control engineers and computerized testing equipment that are constantly testing for correct rubber curing time, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance. The raw materials are tested upon arrival and the rubber tracks go through constant testing during and after the production process
*Our Rubber Materials are a Premium Blend of Natural and Synthetic Virgin Rubber. Rubber tracks can be made cheaper by using increased amounts of synthetic rubber or by using recycled rubber, but these tracks are more likely to fail prematurely
*Our tracks have forged metal links that are dipped and completely coated with a rubber adhesive compound to make the rubber links less likely to be pulled out; others skip this process or they brush on a little adhesive with a paint brush.
*Our tracks utilize multi strand high tensile stainless blended internal wire cables and are wound into one continuous loop assembly and immersed in a special coating. This makes the strongest internal cable system. Tracks produced with flat separate cables, or with cable windings that are not looped assembly cost less, but are more likely to stretch and tear prematurely.
*Our manufacturers utilize the newest 'state of the art' computer controlled rubber track vulcanizing presses that control the vulcanizing temperature, humidity and cure time. These presses do not allow our tracks to be taken out of the mold before they are fully cured. One of the most time consuming and high cost processes in making rubber tracks is the correct cure time in the mold. Some other rubber tracks are made cheaper by decreasing the time of the molding process, resulting in a track with a decreased wear life and higher failure rate.
WARRANTY. Our warranty covers the mechanics of our products. Keep in mind that those who offer extremely long warranties are being misleading. Manufactures do not warranty wear and tear. So these long warranties are nothing but another gimmick. Our products are not perfect, and when there is a defect, we cover it. But defects will work themselves out quickly. We offer a prorated workmanship 1 year/1000 hour warranty. Others will offer big warranties and deny claims. Don't be fooled. We stand behind our products.
SHIPPING. In almost all cases our products are in stock for immediate shipping. We can reach most parts of the country in 1-3 days with a few exceptions. We ship most our products by LTL truck lines like; Old Dominion, Central Transport, or Vitran Express. LTL carries require a commercial address with the ability to off load the products with a forklift or similiar. Coordinating deliveries by phone is an extra charge. Be aware that unloading the truck on the road, at a jobsite, or at a home business will cost extra. You must provide a "ship to" address that meets these requirements or additional charges may apply, and we will have to bill you for these charges. We can ship to a local terminal for pickup, but sometimes those depots are not very close. Many of our customers have found it is easier to ship our products to a business in town that has regular hours and forklift available with permission of course.
