Visiting for the weekend and looking for good breakfast/lunch/dinner options. Moderately priced (and an occasional splurge).
So far I was thinking of Prime Meats, Marlow & Sons (or any of their offsprings), Motorino for pizza.
I am looking for a great ice cream place with unusual flavours (think vodka redbull sorbet, curry banana, honey lavender, etc.).
Also a mixology oriented bar (think home-made infusions, syrups, bitters, pickled onions, brandied cherries, tonic and top local artisanal liquor, etc).
And a bar with a great selection of micro-brews (Dogfish Head, Rogue Ale, etc.). (Been to Barcade, perhaps Radegast this time)
Other suggestions are also welcome, but I come from pretty food-centric city and lived the most part of my life in Europe. Montreal has French bistro food covered.
Marlow & Sons
81 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Radegast Hall
113 N 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211
388 Union Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
319 Graham Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Prime Meats
465 Court St, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The wait is over.
The Union begin season three of MLS play Monday on national television against the Portland Timbers (9:30 p.m., ESPN2/ESPN Deportes).
In a tough opening assignment, manager Peter Nowak's side will travel to face a John Spencer side that went unbeaten in preseason play (outscoring opponents 11-3) and made a late push for a playoff spot last season.
Though the Timbers didn't reach the postseason in their debut year, they posted a strong home record of 9-5-3. They're tough to beat at JELD-WEN Field, where the raucous Timbers Army hover right on top of opposing teams. Thousands of fans came out to watch Portland play Chivas USA, San Jose, and Swedish side AIK in a four-team preseason tournament last week.
The Union lost to Portland 1-0 at JELD-WEN last year when Mamadou Danso headed home a second half set piece from Jack Jewsbury. The return leg was played to a 0-0 draw at PPL Park.
New Faces
The Timbers made wholesale changes in the offseason, most notably trading Kenny Cooper to New York and signing Scotland striker Kris Boyd. Boyd was a Houston target, but landed in Portland after the Timbers sent the Dynamo a first round draft pick in exchange for Boyd's negotiating rights. The former Rangers man scored more than 100 goals for the Glasgow side from 2006 to 2010. He's nursing a right ankle sprain but is listed as probable for Monday.
Another addition was Colombian Hanyer Mosquera. The defender made the switch from La Equidad in his native country.
The club signed Jose Adolfo Valencia as a young Designated Player, but Valencia required knee surgery in the offseason and will be mostly inactive this season. The club also drafted former UCONN defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste and signed 18-year-old American Charles Renken.
Timbers Attack
Portland ran a typical 4-4-2 formation for the majority of the 2011 season, with Cooper playing alongside Jorge Perlaza. Boyd paired the Colombian striker against AIK and we're likely to see that pairing throughout the year. Perlaza is probable for Monday with achilles tendinitis.
The Timbers also have Bright Dike, a physical striker who impressed in preseason with quality play in the final third. Second-year rising star Darlington Nagbe is also in the mix, capable of playing as a forward or midfielder. Nagbe has incredible upside and figures to be a key player for Portland as soon as this season. He's also listed as probable with a right ankle sprain.
The offense is spurred by central midfielders Diego Chara and Jewsbury. Chara, a DP, plays in a more advanced role and will attack from his central position. Jewsbury tends to sit a bit deeper, though he's not necessarily a holding midfielder. "Captain Jack," as he's been nicknamed, can distribute from behind Chara and play accurate balls left and right, switching the point of attack. Portland's captain represented the Timbers in the 2011 MLS All-Star Game.
Spencer has a number of options wide, most notably Kalif Alhassan. The young Ghanaian assisted six times last season from the left flank. Other wide options include Rodney Wallace and Eric Alexander. Sal Zizzo played on the flank last season, but he's out due to ACL surgery.
James Marcelin is a bigger player who features in a more typical holding midfield role. New signing Franck Songo'o is another option in the middle.
Timbers Defense
John Spencer has four big bodies on the backline, but injuries will limit his options in this game. Mamadou "Futty" Danso is out 4-6 weeks with a fractured foot and David Horst is recovering from hip surgery. That leaves Hanyer Mosquera and Eric Brunner as your likely starters.
The Timbers will miss the height and physicality of Danso and Horst, who stand at 6-3 and 6-4 respectively. Union fans are well aware of Danso's aerial ability off set pieces. Horst was difficult to move and extremely physical in last year's return leg.
Brunner is the most experienced of the bunch, and played the most minutes of any Portland defender last year. He also stands 6-4 and knows how to latch onto set pieces.
At the fullback positions, you'd expect to see Mike Chabala on the right and Lovel Palmer on the left. That was Spencer's pairing in the team's final preseason game.
Former D.C. United goalkeeper Troy Perkins stands between the pipes for the Timbers. His numbers were consistent among MLS 'keepers in 2011. He posted nine shutouts with a 1.31 goals against average.
Philadelphia did not score against the Timbers in two tries last year, the only team that managed the feat against the Union.
Keys to the Game
Portland were one of the best set piece teams in the league last year and there's no reason to think that will be any different in '12
With Jewsbury whipping in free kicks on a smaller turf field, conceding a foul anywhere in the Union half could be a liability. With the size on this Timbers squad, Jewsbury has a number of targets.
Philadelphia struggled to defend set pieces last season and that weakness ultimately unraveled the team in the playoffs. Nowak has specifically noted that Gabriel Gomez and Porfirio Lopez are expected to help in that department and that dead ball defense has been an area of focus for the Union in preseason.
Injuries favor the Union, as only defender Chris Albright (doubtful, left groin strain) is listed on the club's injury report, while nine players are listed for Portland.
The Union can be successful if they can establish a ground game and use speed to attack the Portland defense. Direct long balls will be gobbled up by the physically imposing Timbers backline, but targeting the channels on the left and right side of the field will open up space in the middle. Portland was vulnerable at times in 2011 when attackers were able to get down the flanks and force their defense to backtrack towards goal.
Expect a physical, scrappy contest from two sides looking to start 2012 on a positive note. It may not be the beautiful game at its most elegant, but both teams are talented, gritty and gutsy – traits passed along by their respective managers.
Let the games begin.

LinkedIn is investigating claims that more than six million of its users' passwords have been stolen and leaked onto the Internet.
The Daily Telegraph reports that 6.5 million passwords for the professional networking site have been published on a Russian computer hacking forum, in an encrypted "hash" format which transforms the text of the passwords into a series of numbers and letters through a mathematical formula.
According to the BBC, members of the hacking community around the world have been invited to collaborate in decrypting the passwords.
Users of LinkedIn have been advised to change their passwords as soon as possible as a precaution, and have been also warned that if they use their LinkedIn password elsewhere on the Internet they should change it at those other websites too.
More from GlobalPost: US Pinterest visits surpass Google+, LinkedIn in March
Online security expert Graham Cluley, cited by the Independent, wrote on his blog that "although the data which has been released so far does not include associated email addresses, it is reasonable to assume that such information may be in the hands of the criminals.
"As such, it would seem sensible to suggest to LinkedIn users that they change their passwords as soon as possible as a precautionary step. Of course, make sure that the password you use is unique (in other words, not used on any other websites), and hard to crack."
LinkedIn, which has more than 150 million users worldwide, tweeted Wednesday: "Our team is currently looking into reports of stolen passwords. Stay tuned for more."

Steamship Authority Sees Less Tape on the Horizon
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 3 No. 1 March 2004
Traditional tape-based backup just wasn't cutting it at The Steamship Authority, the Woods Hole, MA-based agency that runs ferries between mainland Massachusetts and Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Even though it was successfully backing up its 20 or so Windows servers, it still wasn't doing anything about backing up end-user PCs. Systems analyst Curt Van Riper knew that ignoring end-user PCs was against the rules at a state agency. But adding PCs to their existing backup process also wasn't an option. Using Veritas Backup Exec to back up its servers to a Quantum 1500 tape library equipped with two SDLT drives, Van Riper was seeing backup times of about nine hours--still within their backup window. Adding PCs to that mix would have extended the backup windows into working hours. In the course of their research, he happened upon information from Irvine, CA-based Avamar about its disk-based backup appliance Axion. "The more we heard about it, the more interested we got," Van Riper says. Axion, which uses a data reduction ...

Guillen at peace with future decision
Guillen at peace with future decision
CLEVELAND -- There already has been plenty of talk from Ozzie Guillen concerning his managerial future with the White Sox, even with the team having picked up his 2012 option before the 2011 season began.
Guillen reiterated on Tuesday that he would like to know where he stands before departing on a trip to Spain with his wife, Ibis, two days after the season ends. But if a decision is not made at that time, he won't be consumed while he's out of the country.
"I'll turn my switch, and it will be off right away," Guillen said. "I don't want to spend time with my wife thinking about baseball and think about the future."

South Florida is one of the most popular destinations for travelers this summer and while Miami might be better suited for singles, Key West is an ideal destination for a fun family getaway. Key West is filled with colorful gingerbread cottages, pirate museums, funky sidewalk cafes and lots of cool attractions that are sure to get your child's stamp of approval!
Hit the Beach
Families staying anywhere in Key West can find their place in the sun. Smathers Beach offers beach equipment rentals, food concessions and a number of water sport activities. Fort Zachary Taylor's beach features a historic fort, excellent snorkeling, a large picnic area, restrooms and showers, and plenty of shade for families who want to get out of the sun. Families with a car can drive to Bahia Honda State Park beach, voted one of the best in Florida.
Ride the Conch Train
This colorful open-air train's 90-minute tour covers Key West's highlights, including the Southernmost Point. If the weather is bad or you'd like to make more stops, the enclosed Old Town Trolley might be a better bet. The trolley tour offers 12 stops where families can get on and off and features more than 100 attractions and points of interest.
Sail Away on a Catamaran
These ultra-stable, roomy boats take guests out to North America's only living coral reef for snorkeling. Glass-bottom boat tours of the reef around Key West are also available for those who don't want to get wet. Kayaking around the mangrove islands and shallow with Lazy Dog Kayaks is another popular family adventure.
Get Close to Nature
Stroll through the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory's tropical paradise and marvel at hundreds of free-flying butterflies and over 20 species of exotic birds from around the globe. Then visit the Key West Aquarium, Key West's oldest attraction and home to hundreds of species of local sea life. The Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center is another excellent place to learn about the underwater world and natural habitats of the Keys.
Cruise Around the Island
It's easy to tour Key West on a comfortable beach cruiser bike from Key West's many bike shops. Families can also rent "Conch Cruisers," golf cart-like electric vehicles that will accommodate up to four passengers, from Key West Cruisers.
Indulge in Retail Therapy
Key West shoppers will find a wide range of cool shops, boutiques, and factory outlets such as Coach and Birkenstock. Try on a pair of leather Kino Sandals, handmade in Key West and priced at under $20 a pair. Take the tropical smell of Key West home with a purchase from The Key Lime Shop and check out the unique gift items at the Haitian Art Company, Cuba! Cuba! and Yours and Mayan. Fast Buck Freddie's, a department store that could rival Bloomingdale's, is a local legend.
Soak Up Some Culture
Key West is a literary mecca. Robert Frost, Tennessee Williams, and other famous writers enjoyed Key West's tropical lifestyle. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, where the author lived with about 50 six-toed cats and wrote some of his most famous novels. Affirmed "parrotheads" will feel right at home in tropical Key West. Jimmy Buffet used to hang out and perform here, and his presence is still felt everywhere – especially at the Margaritaville Café on Duvall Street.
Grab a Bite
Blue Heaven is a "don't miss" choice for breakfast or a casual bite to eat. Their pineapple and pecan pancakes are out of this world. Key Lime Pie is Florida's official dessert; so make sure to try the Key West Key Lime Pie Company's decadent Frozen Key Lime Pie on a stick. Sample the Cuban shredded beef called Ropa Vieja at El Meson de Pepe, a family owned and operated Cuban restaurant. Kid's menus featuring cheeseburgers, shrimp and chicken fingers are also available here.
Explore Key West's History
Key West has one of the largest historic districts in the United States. Here, you'll find the Audubon House with its gorgeous tropical gardens, the East Martello Museum, and even a Little White House. Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, was one of Key West's most famous residents. Other notable sites include the Key West Heritage House, Key West's Shipwreck Historeum, Pat Croce's Pirate Soul Museum, and the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum. Those who climb the 88 steps of the Key West Lighthouse Museum's tower will be rewarded with spectacular views.
Enjoy the Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square
If your family enjoys carnivals, don't miss watching the sunset at the docks at Mallory Square. This fun-tastic daily event is unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. Here you're likely to see acrobats, animal acts, street performers, musicians, portrait artists, craft exhibitors, food vendors and more. This event is extremely popular, so make sure to get there early to enjoy the show.
Finally, a vacation both you and your family will enjoy. Now all that's left to do is book!

text: Ready for Spring? Well Hello Wonk! I love that this design has its roots in something quite traditional, but still manages to look fresh and modern. Made up of twelve blocks that are each twelve inches square I call it the Wonky Log Cabin design - wonky because the strips are all different widths, and the layout doesn't follow the standard light and dark scheme used in traditional log cabin quilts. Though I did come up with this idea on my own, there is really nothing new under the sun. Since I made this I have stumbled upon many variations on the standard log cabin block, some quite similar to mine. In addition to a quilt made up of these blocks, I made this as a "quilt-as-you-go" project. This means that each block is pieced, and quilted before it is joined with the other blocks. Full instructions are provided for this technique in the pattern. The wonky log cabin is a design that is quite forgiving, so a good project for beginning quilters who are not yet confident about making perfect points and stars.

Time to get something off my chest: US firms just have too good a press.
Their arrival in London at the end of the 1990s may have brought about a welcome shake-up, but we've seen precious little in the way of innovation since. For all its undoubted financial muscle, US BigLaw has shown virtually none of the innovation of its industrial or technology companies.
Here are five things that depress me most about the US legal market.
1 Lack of financial disclosure. The wink-and-nod approach of many leading US firms (see analysis for some of the culprits) to their financials is not worthy of the major businesses they are. Peter Kalis of K&L Gates is embracing full transparency – we run a video interview with him here– and is seen as downright revolutionary in America. Good on him, but this level of disclosure has not been extraordinary in the UK for years.
2 A craven attitude to PEP from too many US media outlets (the irreverent Above The Law excepted). There's still not enough questioning of PEP as a metric in terms of a well-run business. I get the argument that it's a quick and easy yardstick – a share price, if you like – but it's a share price that can be easily rigged. On a related point, it is actually healthy to question City pay levels without being labelled as a dangerous Trot. Junior associates are furious when this happens since they feel they put in the hours, but sometimes the lack of perspective exhibited by City lawyers on this subject is dispiriting. It's not just the press to which those associates will have to justify this level of pay, so firms had better get used to it; you're not going to get many UK clients agreeing that they love funding a newly-qualified lawyer £65,000 for their input. By contrast, US clients don't make waves on the topic.
3 Conservatism in law firm structures. At the very least ABSs have made UK law firms confront organisational change. This is healthy. It also undercuts the corner-office syndrome.
4 Lack of client pressure to change billing habits. Richard Susskind has documented some client-side innovation, but it's hardly widespread; the hourly rate has an unshakeable hold on US legal culture.
5 Brobeck, Heller, Thelen Reid, Howrey, Coudert, Dewey. All pretended they were financially stable until the moment of collapse, and then chaos ensued. Post-Dewey, those white-shoe law firms that refuse to disclose might just want to consider that the game has changed; like diversity, financial transparency is not mandatory, but it is an ethical choice.

With all the heavy meals we partake in at holiday time — not to mention lazy days curled up by the fireplace (or TV, in my case) — it's no surprise the average American packs on a little bit of extra weight in December and January each year. Hence all the new year's resolutions to get fit, lose weight, or uncover six-pack abs. We've found five great new products that'll keep you on the straight and narrow (nutritionally, that is) as you do.
Rush Bowls
These little pint-size ice cream containers actually hold all-in-one meals light and low-cal, made with pure all-natural fruit blended on the bottom with granola on the top. Ironman Thomas Lopez and Olympic snowboarder J.J. Thomas are just two of the acolytes. Many of these on-the-go meals don't contain dairy but still taste a lot like frozen yogurt. There are tons of flavors, many vegan and gluten-free options, but I love the Yoga Bowl, which is made with mango, pineapple, banana, green tea, fat-free frozen vanilla soy milk, and topped with organic hemp granola and honey. Yum. Even better, since Rush Bowls come frozen, you can microwave them under a minute or let them thaw naturally at any time, any place (which means you can throw one in your backpack and pull it out ready to eat hours later — perfect for outdoor activities, the kid's lunchbox, and busy commuters). You can order online or find them at Whole Foods. ($6, Ice Cream Source)
Another perfect lunchtime swap might make your holidays a bit smoother: Honeydrop beverages are a healthy line of drinks made with tea, juices, and honey. Each bottle, like the delicious Lemon Ginger Tea, has a spoonful of honey and no refined or artificial sweeteners. Even better, Honeydrop has a "Buy a Bottle, Save a Bee" initiative in which a percentage of profits from each bottle sold are donated to local beekeepers throughout the U.S. to help battle colony collapse disorder, an epidemic that threatens the bee population worldwide. Health and chartable! ($2, HoneyDrop)
Some health fiends call algae, the 2.5 billion years old plant life, a miracle drug, since studies have shown it to lower blood pressure, cure colds, aid weight loss, balance blood sugar, provide energy, protect the brain, build the immune system, and more. It was even declared the most nutritionally dense food on earth by both NASA and the United Nations 40 years ago. Why care? It's also a natural way to prevent hangovers. But until recently, nobody paid attention. Why? "Probably because algae was missing sizzle," says NaughtyBits founder and CEO Catharine Arnston. "Substance it had. Heck it's a nutritional rock star but sizzle, no. Algae wasn't glamorous or packaged properly to catch anyone's attention." After Arnston's makeover, algae is now sold as NaughtyBits, algae tablets that have the highest concentration of protein in the world (60%), over 40 nutrients, and just one calorie per tab (think green, raw, vegan, too). (Prices vary, Naughty Bits)
Love pumpkin pie but feel guilty about the whipped cream? Or are you a conscientious but frisky type who wants to give your lover a whipped cream bikini that's also vegan? Either way, Soyatoo!

Act like an Olympian
Don't just settle for watching the Winter Olympics on TV. You live in a state full of opportunities to actually do a lot of the same sports as the athletes competing in Sochi. You probably already know where to go downhill skiing, but here are a few of the more unique options available to you:
Ski jump at the Ishpeming Ski Club near Marquette. The main attraction is called Suicide Hill and all you need to try it is guts–the ski club provides coaching and equipment.
Try Curling, the sport that involves sweeping ice to get a stone to stop sliding at the perfect spot, with one of the many clubs around the state. You can find them in Detroit, Lansing and Midland.
Luge is one of the most exciting winter Olympic sports and you can try it yourself at the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex. The 850-foot track is one of only four luge courses in the U.S. and for $45 you get to use their equipment and get tips from coaches.
Speed skating is a great way to burn calories on the ice. Learn how through one of the local clubs found around the state.

Then a couple months ago I was told that I basically have no left hip joint and I need a hip replacement. I should expect 8 weeks out of work, and I don't have disability insurance. So I have been putting it off, but it's really starting to affect what I can accomplish and how easily I can accomplish it.
Then today I found out that the stomach pain I've been having is a "large gallstone in the neck of the gall bladder" which will probably require surgery. I have an appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday.
Also today I saw the vascular surgeon for a large bump on the back of my leg that is probably a deep vericose vein. I have to have an ultrasound of the leg on Monday and go back to see the vascular surgeon on the 5th.
I've paid my insurance deductible for this year so it would be awesome to get anything I need done- done before the end of November, when my insurance renews and I'm stuck with a new deductible.
But that doesn't seem likely with all the scheduling, and I still don't know what the treatment will be for the vein.
On top of all that, the SO moved out at the beginning of August so I've been coping with that crap.
Honestly, I will not be sad to see this crappy year end. 2014 can't come soon enough :(
You have a lot on your plate. Sending you mojo to get you through
And never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
― Sarah McMane
Sending you lots and lots of strength and mojo too; I hope the things that might resolve w/o surgery DO, and that everything falls into place as smoothly as possible.
I'm so sorry you are going all of this. Sending you mojo and strength.
Most days we can take it, but sometimes you can't help but wonder WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK the world has against you
So... my apologies for being a whiny wimp
It has to better than this next year.

Wide receiver Brady Malone of Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga continues to hold a few FCS offers, but after several very successful summer camp stops he may be in line to add a couple of BCS offers to his total.
"Recruiting is going well as of now," said Malone, who is 6-foot-3 and 195-pounds. "I'm getting a lot of interest from Virginia Tech, Miami, Vandy and Wake, and I've got Ivy League and 1-AA offers. I'm behind one wide receiver at both Virginia Tech and Miami."
Offers are currently on the table from Towson, Cornell, Princeton and Monmouth, but he believes that the Hokies, Hurricanes and also Maryland are close to joining this list. This is mostly due to very successful camp stops at each of these three schools.
Article Continues Below
"I got the MVP at Miami's one-day camp and I did very well at Virginia Tech and Maryland," he said.
Each of these three schools have discussed a possible offer with Malone.
"After Virginia Tech's camp I met with Coach Beamer in his office and he wants me to be a part of the team," said Malone. "As of that day the scholarships were tight so he was planning on connecting with me at the end of the summer and we'd go from there. I also met with the Miami coaches after their camp and they are waiting on Jordan Cunningham to commit somewhere."
His contact with Maryland has been more through his high school coach.
"My coach said he's expecting them to offer soon based on my camp performance," said Malone. "He keeps in touch with their coaches."
After finishing with 32 receptions for 468 yards and six touchdowns during his junior season, Malone is looking for more this fall.
"My team went to the ship last year and lost to Good Counsel," said Malone. "Hopefully this year we can bring home the championship. I've worked on improving my speed this off-season. I've spent a lot of time getting faster."

Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon Registration Opens This Week
January 16, 2014 (KELOWNA, British Columbia) - If running and wine are two of your passions, then you'll want to register soon for the 2014 Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon, to be held in Kelowna on Saturday, September 6, 2014. Registration for the second annual Kelowna race opens on Tuesday, January 16 at Noon PST. Produced by Destination Races (www.destinationraces.com/runbc) of Sonoma, California, the Kelowna race is Canada's exclusive wine-country half marathon.
Runners commence the spectacular 21.1-kilometer (13.1-mile) course at The Vibrant Vine Winery, which offers breathtaking views of Okanagan Lake, downtown Kelowna and the surrounding mountains. The course meanders past vineyards, farms and apple orchards along the East Bench of Kelowna, before entering onto the Mission Creek Greenway. The final six kilometers of the course take runners along Okanagan Lake to the finish at Waterfront Park for the post-race Wine & Music Festival.
"With the tremendous support of our partners at Tourism Kelowna and the City of Kelowna, last year's inaugural Kelowna race was very well received and out-of-town participants also enjoyed of many of Kelowna's tourism offerings," comments Matt Dockstader, CEO of Destination Races. "Kelowna's East Bench, Mission Creek Greenway and the lakefront route, plus the beautiful finish and festival at Waterfront Park, are what make this course so special. We look forward to an even bigger and better event in 2014."
In addition to the joy of running in one of Canada's most scenic destinations and sipping on fine Okanagan wines, all half marathon and relay finishers (19+) also receive a shirt, finisher's medal, and Riedel wine glass with entry into the post-race festival. Cash and other prizes are awarded to the top three overall winners, and the top three finishers in each age group receive a bottle of Okanagan wine. Kelowna's 2013 race winners were Sergio Reyes from California, with a time of 1:06:19 and Kimberly Doerksen of Illinois whose winning time was 1:18:04. Kelowna residents Hans Aabye and Christy Lovig finished third in the men's and women's division respectively.
The Race Expo will be held on Friday, September 5 at The Delta Grand Okanagan Resort located adjacent to the race finish along Waterfront Park. The expo features packet pickup, product sampling, demonstrations and seminars. The Race Expo runs from 10am to 6pm and is open to the public. Other events, including a pre-race dinner at Kelowna's new Yacht Club, are scheduled during race week and are available for registration on the event website.
Registrations completed before February 1st receive early bird pricing of $90 for the half marathon and $160 for the 2-person relay. For those running the half marathon in a group of six or more, registering as a team will save an additional $10. VIP packages are also being offered this year for those who prefer some extra amenities and pampering.
The Kelowna race will benefit YMCA's Strong Kids Foundation and the University of British Columbia's Cross Country Team, which won the 2014 NAIA Overall Team Championship. Last year's event raised more than $10,000 for its non-profit partners. Businesses interested in becoming a sponsor, exhibitor or participating as a winery may contact Destination Races at firstname.lastname@example.com, or reach out to local coordinator Malindi Elmore through the same email address

International Business Contracts: Structures, Negotiation, Conflict Avoidance and Resolution
- Studiepoeng10
- UndervisingssemesterVår
- EmnekodeJUS282-2-A
- Talet på semester1
- SpråkEnglish.
- Ressursar
Mål og innhald
The course starts with an introduction to the technology of drafting agreements. It will show that innovative and successful institutional design does not only depend on a knowledge of the given legal repertoire and "cook
books" but also on a prior consideration of economic incentive theory. We will shortly look at the theoretical premises of economic analysis of institutions, specifically at the theory of incentive compatible contracts, e.g. self-enforcing agreements. We will then turn to the structure and individual clauses of important long-term contracts such as concession agreements, joint ventures, turn-key contracts, franchise agreements. The example of a hypothetical contract for seabed mining will inter alia illustrate the close relation between drafting laws and contracts - and the differences. Moreover, we will explore the techniques of "conflict screening" in large business arrangements where the parties use "filters" for sorting out specific foreseeable contingencies by referring them to expert decision-making bodies before redress to a court may be sought. We conclude with an overview on regulation by consensus between the state and firms and the problem of defining a proper relation between requisite institutional innovation and compliance with existing regulation.
The students should after the course be able to understand the structure and content of complex business contracts and their relations to economic incentives, and to understand the dispute settlement systems in business contracts.
Krav til forkunnskapar
Three years of university studies.

FOXBORO, Mass. — The Patriots have some work to do to avoid their first three-game losing streak in nine years, and they've got to do it quickly with the Jets on the horizon.
Here's how the Patriots graded out after Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants.
Jeff Howe: C
Tom Brady had three turnovers, and two of them resulted in 10 points for the Giants. The other one was in New York territory.
What grade would you give the Patriots offense against the Giants?
Jeff Howe: C
They made some unfathomably impressive improvements since losing to the Steelers, but it was all for naught after surrendering two touchdown drives — of 85 and 80 yards, respectively — in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
What grade would you give the Patriots defense against the Giants?
Jeff Howe: D-
Rob Ninkovich's fumble recovery saved them from a failing grade. Julian Edelman coughed up a punt. The kick return unit was awful, with an average starting position on the 19-yard line after four kickoffs (excluding the penalized kick when the Giants kicked off from their own 20). And Stephen Gostkowski missed a short field goal at the end of the first half.
What grade would you give the Patriots special teams against the Giants?
Jeff Howe: B
This wasn't on the coaching staff. Actually, Bill Belichick deserves credit for changing up the defensive scheme, which worked well for most of the game. And the coaching staff didn't turn the ball over four times.
What grade would you give the Patriots coaching against the Giants?
Jeff Howe: A-
The Giants kept the Patriots off the scoreboard in the first half, and Eli Manning answered Brady twice in the fourth quarter, throwing a pair of touchdown passes in the final 3:03.
What grade would you give the Giants?
Jeff Howe: Wes Welker
He had nine receptions (on 10 targets) for 136 yards and was, for whatever reason, the only receiver Brady could hit with any regularity.
Jeff Howe: Brandon Deaderick
The defensive line played another tremendous game, and Deaderick was very good at defensive end in place of Shaun Ellis. Don't be surprised if Deaderick keeps that starting job going forward.

I purchased the Swiftkey.
after the update to 4.4.2 it stopped working and after reinstalling He wrote me a message that the installation failed.
Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card
- Unmount the SD card. Install app, remount the SD card. This won't work as the HTC One does not have an SD card
- In the secure/asec folder, find and delete "smdl2tmp1.asec". Although I found the folder, it was empty and therefore I was unable to delete the file.
*Before update Swiftkey is worked.

Three Trails OHV System
The Deschutes National Forest is proposing the Three Trails OHV System as part of the Travel Management process. Deschutes County 4-Wheelers are actively working with the Forest Service on this project and would like all 4-wheelers to respond to the scoping letter.
The Scoping Letter has been released for the Three Trails OHV System which is located just south of Crescent. There are three areas included in this project.
The Walker area is the portion of the project area that is east of Highway 97 and includes Walker Rim. While roads maintained for high clearance vehicles would be available to all OHV classes, the southern area would have developed trails for the Class II user. Approximately 12 miles of closed roads would be converted to Class II trails. A seasonal closure would be in effect for the entire Walker Trail system for two weeks during the mule deer rifle season. However, those roads within the "green dot system" and have a green dot, which is designed to reduce big game harassment during hunting season, would remain open to all motor vehicles.
A staging area would be developed along the 9755-060 near junction with the 9755. Access to viewpoints on Walker Mt would be on Class II roads from the Marmot Pass Road to reduce conflicts on the 94 road, where street legal vehicles are required. Approximately 12 miles of high clearance and formerly closed roads south of Little Walker Mountain (between the 9755 and 9753) would be converted to Class II trails. To offset a potential decrease in availability to an existing wildlife guzzler, a new guzzler would be placed off the 9755-195 road. The following roads would be closed to alleviate road/trail densities associated with creation of the trail system: 9765-760, 9765-750, 9765-720, 9768-480, 9768-479, 9768-470, 9768-457, 9768-450, and 9768-390.
The Junction area is the northern portion of the project area near the town of Crescent Lake Junction. This area focuses on Class I and III users and concentrates use around the staging area and the availability of services at Crescent Lake Junction. Junction Snow Park would become the staging area. The Junction area will provide approximately 20-25 miles of looped trails for ATVs and motorcycles within a 135-acre designated area. This area uses existing snowmobile trails to access Crescent Lake Junction. Existing user-created trails within the Junction designated area would be utilized, but may be modified with new trails, to provide varying degrees of difficulty and/or for safety. In addition the following roads would be closed to all motor vehicle traffic to offset the creation of the trail system: 4672-200, 4672-800, 4672-060, 5814-500, 5814-700, 5815-250, 5815-700, 5815-800, 5815-900 at the private road junction, 6020-500 at the 6020-750 junction, 6100-707, 6100-725, and 6100-740.
The Rivers area is the middle portion of the project area that includes Muttonchop Butte near the Two Rivers North subdivision and south to the district boundary. This area also focuses on Class I and III users with four areas of developed trails with a total of 80-100 miles across approximately 3,400 acres. A Forest Plan Amendment is proposed to modify the Hemlock Key Elk Area and the Muttonchop Designated Old Growth Management Area boundaries to remove areas of high road/trail densities, a fire area, and/or poor quality habitat to include more appropriate areas. For example, a rock pit is currently located within a designated Old Growth boundary on Muttonchop Butte. The pit receives high use by the motorized community and provides marginal wildlife habitat. This proposal would move the designated Old Growth boundary to the north and include the pit in the trail system. As in other areas, excess user created trails that are not in suitable locations would be rehabilitated. In order to provide for safety and to provide a connection between the east and west portions of the Rivers trail system, a railroad crossing and an underpass for Highway 97 is proposed.

Three Trails OHV Scoping Letter General Talking Points
• The Three Trails OHV System is desperately needed by the Class II OHV community.
• Deschutes County 4-Wheelers want to work with the IDT members to identify additional features and site specific routes along the generally mapped route.
• Essential trail elements include native trail surface; slopes over 30 percent; obstacles such as rocks, logs, ledges, mud and/or snow; trail filters; narrow trail corridors; sharp turns and curves; loops and destinations; play areas; cattle guards; and water bars.
• Trail head staging areas are needed for parking and kiosk information signs and maps.
• Primitive campground facilities need to be provided.
• It is everyone's birthright to use the national forests.
• OHV use has been determined to be an acceptable use of our forests by former Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth.
Walker Specific Points:
• Technical ascents with tight turns and water bars are essential elements which need to be included, particularly between Road 9755 and Road 200 at the intersection of Road 800 and Road 9755; and between Road 9755 and Road 150, as shown on the DC4W proposal.
• A technical ascent trail needs to connect from the intersection of 9753600/9753950 to the intersection of 9753990/9755600.
• The red shared use roads as shown on the DC4W proposal should be classified as "Easy" trails, while the blue trails on the DC4W proposal should be classified as "More Difficult" and "Most Difficult" trails.
• This system should be open year-round rather than May 1 to October 31, with the exception of the proposed two week hunting season closure. Class II users enjoy over the snow travel.
• The existing powerline access road from Road 100 up the hill in Section 23 should be made available for Class II ascents, with a turnaround area part way up.
• Additional trails need to be added to this system around and over Little Walker Mountain as shown on the DC4W proposal.
• The existing dispersed campsite located near the intersection of Road 9755 and Road 9753 needs to be developed as a staging area with campfire rings and pit toilets.
• Road 200 is shown as a dead end in Section 23 on the proposal map, however the road actually continues and curves around into Section 24. This trail should be extended to form a loop that connects at the intersection of Road 200 and Road 560 and be included in this trail system
• Road 150 should be extended to connect with Road 200 in Section 26 and included in this trail system, as shown on the DC4W proposal.
Rivers Specific Points:
• Although a specific Class II proposal was not submitted due to time and weather, Class II users should be included in this area.
• Class II trails should be developed into and around the existing rock pit.
• The railroad crossing and highway underpass must be constructed with a width of 80 inches to provide access for Class II users.
• The Backcountry Discovery Route needs to be available to Class II users.
Junction Specific Points:
• Although a specific Class II proposal was not submitted due to time and weather, Class II users should be included in this area.

Thomas Guerriero, the owner of Oxford City FC, is a man who has lots of ideas. A university in Florida and a franchise in the American soccer league are just two of the latest.
Now he says he wants to establish a campus in Oxford to tie in with his American dream.
The idea is interesting, but there is little detail. For now, many fans will hope that he concentrates on what is happening on the pitch and battle the threat of the drop.

LXer: Distro Review: Linux Mint 7 Gloria
Published at LXer:
Time for another distro review, and this time I thought Id look at the latest version of a distribution Ive enjoyed a lot in the past. Linux Mint 7, AKA Gloria. Im tempted to make references to Van Morrison here, but Ill restrain myself. The last version I reviewed was actually Linux Mint 5, so Ive missed a release. At the time I said it was the best Linux distribution Id seen for new users, better even than the hallowed Ubuntu (upon which it is based). Would I still feel the same?

Ms. Peacock
Genus: Harrisina
Species: Brillians
The larvae of these moths live on the underside of a plant leaf. If you were to brush up against the tiny little hairs of the larvae, you would likely have a rash for several days... although you probably wouldn't know the cause.
Mr. Green
Genus: Chrysina
Species: Gloriosa
Also known as the glorious beetle. You may wonder how it got that name. Some people think it's because tens of thousands of years ago, some cultures viewed the beetles' metallic coloring symbolic of the sun and illuminated sky.
Colonel Mustard
Genus: Anthonomus
Species: Grandis thurberrae
If you were this weevil, you would probably be very familiar with one of the '5 C's of Arizona' -cotton. These weevils destroy almost 10% of the nation's cotton crop.
Professor Plum
Genus: Pepsis
Species: Chrysothemus
Also known as the Tarantula Hawk. This wasp is one of the largest in size compared to other wasps and produces a painful sting that may be one of the most painful insect-produced stings known. It hunts a tarantula, paralyzes it and then drags it back to its' home to provide sustenance for developing larvae. I think it's safe to say you wouldn't want to be a tarantula.
Mrs. White
Genus: Bostrichidae
Species: Apatides fortis
This beetle is also known as a powder-post beetle, it may be named because these guys will turn your wood into powder (not quite, but they are surely destructive). It has been advised to cut your fire wood at certain times of the year to avoid them... So next time your parents ask you to go outside and chop wood, you'll have a better explanation for why you can't.

To understand an ecosystem service we need to understand how we define ecosystems. An ecosystem is a community of animals and plants interacting with one another and with their physical environment. Ecosystems include physical and chemical components, such as soils, water, and nutrients that support the organisms living within them. These organisms may range from large animals and plants to microscopic bacteria. Ecosystems include the interactions among all organisms in a given habitat. People are part of ecosystems.

An ecological footprint is how much land and water area a human population uses to provide all it takes from nature. This includes the areas for producing the resource it consumes, the space for accommodating its buildings and roads, and the ecosystems for absorbing its waste emissions such as carbon dioxide.

Board approves plans for suite-style residence hall
Thursday, April 22, 2010
The three-floor building will house 68 students in a total of 17 suites and will include a basement. The 23,487-square foot facility features rooms arranged in suites, with a bathroom in each suite. The residence hall will include many commons areas.
"This will be a great addition to our nationally recognized residence life program, joining traditional residence halls and apartments," said President Greg Christy. "We are pleased to be able to provide this new housing option for our students. The goal for this hall is the same as for our other residence facilities, that they be places where our students grow in living and learning in community."
Construction will begin in May. The hall is expected to be completed in early 2011 and ready for occupancy for the fall 2011 semester. The facility will provide needed housing for male students following the closing of Heemstra Hall after this school year.
The new hall has been designed by Cannon Moss Brygger and Associates of Sioux City. General contractor will be Hoogendoorn Construction of Canton, S.D.
Christy said there was a positive spirit at the board meeting. "The trustees feel good about the direction of the college. They see many encouraging things happening in academics and outside of the classroom. There is a sense of pride in the institution, strong commitment to our mission, and optimism for the future."
The board recognized the service of two retiring members: the Rev. Mark Heijerman of rural Rock Valley, who served four years, and the Rev. Van Rathbun of Sioux Center, who served eight years.
