When was the last time you experienced a bait and switch?
It had been decades since I'd seen Bill Lynch play. I'd stopped going to dances and local performances once I had children and only recently did I fall back in with the 'in' crowd who enjoy meeting and dancing our caloric needs and weekend nights away.
I was excited this past month when I learned Lynch would be coming to town and would perform this past weekend.
I was disappointed however at how a local business used a big name performer such as Lynch for their bait and switch.
Here is what happened. Online tickets were a few dollars more than those purchased direct from the business - which opens daily at three for drinking and ticket purchases. My son is more likely the age group who frequent the establishment, so I sent him in - three days in a row - to get tickets.
The problem was that their computer 'was down' and they couldn't run any tickets off. I wised up and started calling in advance rather than send my son in a fourth or fifth time in the heat. Each time I was told they still had no means to run the tickets off, but the problem would be solved the next day. There was even discussion that they were bringing in another computer specifically for the purpose to run off tickets.
Saturday, the day of the concert, I called and still no tickets had been printed. I expressed concern that the performance would be sold out. I was assured that it would not be and that I could even wait until that evening to purchase my ticket at the $13 fee.
I arrived early to insure getting a ticket and to save seats for additional friends. No one was at the door at that time. At some point I went to get water for our group and the bartender asked me to go get my wristband. I went to the doorman/ticket taker and was surprised when he told me the price was $16. I mentioned all the times I'd tried to purchase tickets. I was referred back to the bartender (perhaps he is a manager). He wasn't interested in how many times I'd attempted to get tickets or that I'd been assured I could purchase them that evening for the original fee. He said they still had to pay for the price of running off the tickets. I asked why they couldn't just f' ing stamp my hand. I got a look that told me if I didn't back down, I'd be escorted from the establishment. I went to buy my ticket. The doorman said, "So you get the $13 price?" I could have lied, but I did not. I told him I was required to pay the $16.
An hour later, I mentioned to a friend in the bathroom what had occurred. Several other women spoke up and said they had the same experience.
My questions: How much extra money did the establishment make by doing this? (there were probably a couple of hundred people there)
How could they say the extra charge for tickets at night cost $3 more than tickets during the day that they never had?
When did they become able to run tickets off?
Is this a common practice used by this establishment?
I would gladly have paid more for a performance by Bill Lynch. The issue wasn't about the price, it was about the practice by the establishment that cost many people time and effort.
Please share your experiences with bait and switch practices.

Rumble Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Rumble with this build
|Nasus cannot do anything against Rumble. Deny him farm, build magic pen and make him weep.
Hey I'm Icon777 currently Silver on the NA server. I have an average KDA of 9.5/6.6/9 on Rumble across more than 120 games. Let me show you what I've learned
You should be rushing seekers armguard in a matchup against an AD bully top laner. Otherwise and especially against tanks rush Haunting Guise for the Pen and then get lucidity boots. Zhonyas is next after the because of its synergy with your (Q) because it can be on while in stasis. After the first 3 are completed it's really situational, is you're carrying get rabadons, if behind get rylais and if late game against lots of MR get void staff
Skill Sequence
Flamespitter (Q) is maxed first for its massive base damage especially when paired with your passive. Electro Harpoon is ranked second because the slow gets absurd once you get a few points in it.
Flash (Duh)
Telerport - Pick almost 99% of the time you will snowball harder with this than ignite because you can tp bot for free double kills and lategame you can instantly join teamfights and AOE down the enemy team.
Ignite - Please dont take this summoner spell. Ok you can take it against Teemo if you want to make him cry (or many other favored matchups). Also ok if you're against a high sustain top laner such as Vladimir and your mid laner didn't take Ignite.
Not much to say here, Rumble likes to get up close in people's faces so defensive runes are a necessity. AP of course buffs his scaling and as mentioned before Rumble is very strong with magic penetration especially because of his high amount of area of effect damage.
In the ferocity Tree, AP and magic pen are very crucial. Magic Penetration is the best thing you can ask for on Rumble because it buffs the extremely high base damage from his Flamespitter (Q) and works well his his two AOE spells.
Although the Resolve tree may seem boring because it doesn't give you more damage to melt the enemy team with, it's very important to have on Rumble. Since you'll always be burning people up-close you'll need some defense in-case they try and fight back. Unyielding is good as it buffs the armor from Zhonyas and buffs the MR and armor from your runes. The absolute best mastery from this tree is runic armor that when maxed out will add 8% bonus shields to your Scrap Shield (W)

Patrick McGrail began his military service at the age of twenty when he enlisted as a Military Police Officer serving in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. He returned to the Middle East nearly 20 years later in command of a 128 Soldier company conducting convoy security missions throughout Iraq for which he was awarded the Bronze Star.
Hollis could feel the tears pooling in his eyes. "I'm really going to miss you Dad," he said.
"I'll be as close as the moon," his father said. "The moon you see is the same one I'll see from the middle of the desert."
"Every night, I'll tell the moon I love you and if you listen, you can hear me when the moon comes back around."

Nelson Mandela died on Thursday evening at the age of 95. South Africa's great champion of unity and equality was a living symbol of freedom for millions of people around the world. RNW's Africa desk has been collecting personal memories of Mandela and the role he has played in Africans' lives. Here Babah Tarawally, originally from Sierra Leone, tells us why Mandela is his hero.
By Babah Tarawally, Utrecht
When a road leads to a crocodile's mouth, it is not the first person who stands up to take the lead who I call my hero. It is the one who figures out how to reach the end of the road without falling prey to the crocodile.
It was after reading his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, that I decided to recognise Nelson Mandela as my hero. That was in mid-1996. He was already the first black president of South Africa. I was spending the first of my seven years in an asylum centre in the Netherlands.
Civil war in Sierra Leone caused me to flee my country. The asylum centre in which I was confined was a sort of prison, where I experienced a limitation of movement. Of course it was not a prison that could be compared with Mandela's Robben Island.
Life in exile
I lived with three people in a small room the length and width of a football goal. Each of us occupied a corner with a bed as small as a hammock. Food was provided by male Dutch cooks using ingredients nothing like the ones we used back home. I ate holding my breath to avoid the thick smell of garlic. I detested what I ate, but it was that or going to bed with an empty stomach.
The fact is that none of what I experienced could be compared to Mandela's harsh life in jail. But it was his autobiography that made me understand: prison is a tremendous education in the need for patience and perseverance. It is, above all, a test of one's commitment.
Dreams reawoken
As a child I wanted to be an influential figure in my community, one who could change the lives of my people. I almost gave up that hope when life in exile became a bitter experience. Mandela came into my life to reawaken the dream of my childhood. He came when I thought I had already failed in life.
Mandela found wisdom through failure. He chose to learn from his mistakes rather than repeat them. He was not perfect. He could not save his marriage; he called Castro and Gaddafi his best friends. Some called Mandela a terrorist, a sell-out and a man without much Pan-African spirit.
Why Mandela?
But what made him stand out as a hero – not just for me but for many, both white and black – is that he was not defined by his ethnicity, race, religion, country or even continent.
When I was threatened with imminent deportation to Sierra Leone, I stood my ground. Before the court I made an appeal not to be sent back to my country, where the worst atrocities of war were being committed. The judge was impressed by my defence and I was allowed to stay.
Mandela's 'I am prepared to die' speech, delivered at the opening of his 1964 trial, inspired me. I let the judges know that being an asylum seeker was not a crime. I ended my speech almost the same way Mandela had his. If the court would rule otherwise, I was prepared to return to my country to die.

Reading disability (RD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two ofthe most prevalent behavioral disorders of childhood and, thus, are important public health problems. Moreover, compared to children with either RD or ADHD alone, those who meet criteria for both disorders often have greater social and academic difficulties, and are at higher risk for other behavioral disorders. In order to contribute to a better understanding of the nature of RD, ADHD and their comorbidity, the primary objectives of proposed Project VI ofthe Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center (CLDRC) are to 1) assess the developmental etiologies of RD, ADHD and their comorbidity;2) assess the developmental relations among deficits in word reading, comprehension and written expression;and 3) assess key developmental outcomes in adolescence, including academic achievement, social functioning and comorbid psychopathology. To accomplish these objectives, we propose to conduct a five-year follow-up of twin pairs previously tested in the CLDRC, who were between 8 and 13 years of age at their initial assessment. An extensive psychometric test battery, including tests of reading performance, comprehension, written expression and various reading- related processes, cognitive abilities, and behavioral interviews and questionnaires will be administered to 116 twin pairs in which at least one member had a history of reading difficulties and/or ADHD at their initial assessment, to their siblings, and to 40 twin pairs in which neither member had a history of RD or ADHD. These data will be combined with follow-up data previously collected under separate funding (DC05190), as well as with data from the International Longitudinal Twin Studies of Early Reading Development (ILTS), recently funded to extend testing through ninth grade. Combining data from selected ILTS twin pairs and the CLDRC follow-up samples will facilitate more powerful tests ofthe developmental etiologies of reading/writing difficulties, ADHD and their comorbidity. This project will be the first to assess these longitudinal relations and outcomes within a genetically informative sample selected specifically for RD and/or ADHD symptoms. As such, it complements the overall CLDRC program theme in its application of behavioral genetic methods to the assessment ofthe developmental etiologies of reading/writing deficits, ADHD and their comorbidity and covariation with other reading-related cognitive measures.
Reading disability (RD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two ofthe most common behavioral disorders of childhood and, thus, are important public health problems. By improving our understanding of the influence of genes, environment, and how they interact to affect learning and behavior problems and their long-term outcomes, this project will help to improve intervention efforts, inform policy, and over time, could provide an important step toward ameliorating these problems.

E3 2014: SteelSeries reveals Sentry Eye-tracker and Stratus XL iOS controller
- Written by Petrus-Iulian "Devon" Fatu
- Published in Gaming Gear news
SteelSeries has revealed a gaming-focused eye-tracking camera, the Sentry, as well as a large (console sized) iOS controller dubbed Stratus XL.
SteellSeries has been working alongside Tobii Technology, the leading company in the field of eye tracking, to develop the Sentry Eye Tracker, a visual coach able to provide the ability to track, benchmark and analyze eye movement and behaviour during gameplay. Sentry works by tracking fixations per minute (FPM), meaning how often the user shifts his or her gaze around the screen.
In order to provide a standard for the eye-tracking stats, SteelSeries is collaborating with proffesional gamers to establish peak performance goals. This benchmarking is set to allow users to compare their eye movements in gaming sessions with those of professional-level champions.
"We are constantly looking for ways to improve, even if its improvement at a granular level, that will sometimes be the difference between death and victory. Our players are incredibly motivated to not only use the Sentry Eye Tracker for their own gaming, but to be able to create standards that other players can measure their progress against." said Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon, chief gaming officer and former captain of Team Fnatic, in a press release.
The Sentry Eye Tracker is not only set to benchmark eye movement, but Tobii and SteelSeries are also working into using the camera to control games by using eye movements in the future.
The company also announced the Stratus XL controller today. This is a console-sized follow-up to the original Stratus, the pocket-sized wireless controller that debuted back in January, at CES. The Bluetooth wireless Stratus XL supports iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and borrows a thing or two from the Xbox One controller.
Set to deliver about 40 hours of gameplay using 2 AA batteries, the controller features red LED indicator lights that display the number of players connected to a device during multi-player matches – allowing up to 4 controllers to connect to a single device.
"We have been working for well over a year now on perfecting the wireless controller experience for iOS devices. We have been incredibly impressed by the way the SteelSeries Stratus has been received by consumers so far and we are looking forward to introducing the Stratus XL to the iOS gaming community - who have been asking for a full-sized controller option," said Tino Soelberg, SteelSeries CTO.
Both the Sentry and the Stratus XL will be available later this year.

Lord Higgins: We shall need to read carefully what the noble Baroness said, in particular what appears to be a clear statement of government policy; namely, that they will collect the information only if, at the lighter end of the market, they have already asked the claimant whether he has made a mistake--
Baroness Hollis of Heigham: We would not invariably ask the claimant. I am saying only that in normal circumstances the claimant would be the first port of call for an explanation of why the discrepancies appeared to exist.
I am thinking on my feet, but one can imagine a transnational case in which the last thing one wants to do is to tip people off that inquiries are being made. I would not want that statement to be seen as an absolute statement.
Lords Higgins: In the light of that reply, which we shall study carefully, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
[Amendments Nos. 54 and 55 not moved.]
Lord Astor of Hever moved Amendment No. 56:
The noble Lord said: Standards of scrutiny and conduct in matters relating to confidential data are, to say the least, variable in some local authorities. While most local authorities pursue their responsibilities diligently, this probing amendment is an opportunity to highlight the lack of safeguards and to seek reassurance from the Minister.
Disclosure of investigation could lead to physical threats against both elected councillors and council staff. The public have justifiable fears that the powers granted in the Bill could be open to abuse. Looking at some inner-city authorities, whether Hackney or Doncaster, one sees sufficient instances of malpractice and fraud by both elected members and officers to make it evident that safeguards need to be in place. As the Data Protection Commissioner made clear, the volume of information and the quality of some local authorities' safeguards mean that abuse is likely. Until we have a code of practice and know what is in it, a member of the public who felt that a local authority had abused the powers that had been given to it in this Bill would have little recourse save through the ombudsman. That can be a lengthy and unsatisfactory process. I beg to move.
Baroness Hollis of Heigham: The Government are very clear as regards this amendment and the circumstances in which we would wish authorised officers to make inquiries of the organisations listed. They may be made only when an authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that a person is or
By removing lines 8 to 11, the amendment widens local authority powers in ways which I am sure the noble Lord, Lord Astor, did not intend. Section 109B contains the provisions which limit authorised officers to make inquiries only where they have reasonable grounds. By removing those lines, the link to Section 109B would be removed and, dare I say it, local authority staff would be able to pick names at random. I am sure that the Committee would not wish that to happen.
More generally, the protections I have already suggested remain. Benefit claimants will know that their information can be checked with third parties and that they are under a duty to tell the truth. If, knowing that, they lie, we have the right and the ability to check their information.
As regards local authorities requiring the consent of the Secretary of State before obtaining electronic access to records, I have already explained that it is our intention that they will not go online until the Secretary of State is satisfied that the necessary safeguards are in place. Again, only some local authorities will have that power and that is where we are confident that they have properly trained and professional officers in place who are subject to these codes. I am certain that the noble Lord has no wish to see unfettered access to electronic information either for local authority or DSS investigators, which is what this amendment would achieve. I suggest that the noble Lord may wish to withdraw his amendment.
Lord Astor of Hever: The noble Baroness is correct. I said that this was only a probing amendment and that we were seeking reassurances from the Minister. She has given those reassurances and the clarifications that we sought. In the light of that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
[Amendments Nos. 57 to 59 not moved.]
On Question, Whether Clause 2 shall stand part of the Bill?
Lord Astor of Hever: The e-envoy, Alex Allen, is preparing a White Paper which will oversee a whole range of confidential and other relevant issues that may question or impact on Clause 2. The Data Protection Commissioner cited the work of the e-envoy and suggested that rushed legislation in this or any other area would be bad legislation. That was demonstrated by the destruction and withdrawal of
Liberty believes that the powers conferred by this clause will be open to both intentional and unintentional abuse. The risk of intentional abuse is clear. Although the Bill gives the Secretary of State or a local authority the power to require the person or body giving electronically accessed information to record the use made of the facility, it is not an absolute requirement. Even if the requirement is imposed, presumably the records are likely to be scrutinised only by the investigators themselves or by the people working for the same organisation, if it happens at all. Given that considerable use is likely to be made of that facility, it would be very easy for an investigator wanting, for a reason of his own, to seek information about someone to access information without being found out.
The risk of unintentional abuse stems from the fear that more information is likely to be accessed by electronic means than where a written request is made. The right to acquire information proposed in the Bill will be subject to requirements in the existing Section 109B(1) that an investigator should request only such information as he or she reasonably needs. An investigator who believes that someone is working for cash in hand while claiming benefit might ask that person's bank for details of any deposits of over, say, Ł50. A bank employee responding to that written request will ensure that only that information is given. If an arrangement were to be set up with the banker under which electronic access is given to records of transactions on a person's account in the way that many bank customers now access their accounts, the record will not be vetted by a bank employee and the investigator is likely to have access to details of all transactions on the account. I look forward to hearing the Minister's response to these concerns.
Lord Goodhart: Unfortunately, my noble friend Lord Russell is unable to be present today because he has gone down with flu. He and I put our names to the objection that Clause 2 shall stand part of the Bill. I have very little to add to what the noble Lord, Lord Astor of Hever, has said on this matter. However, the fact that great concerns have been expressed about Clause 2 by the Information Commissioner, Liberty and Justice--once again I declare that that is an organisation with which I am associated--should give the Government cause for thought and consideration as to whether further safeguards are necessary before Clause 2, as it now stands, can properly be put into effect.
Baroness Hollis of Heigham: The noble Lord, Lord Astor, has pressed me on three points. The first was e-commerce, the second was intentional abuse by investigators and the third was unintentional abuse by them simply because it is the noble Lord's
As regards the e-envoy, it may be helpful if we follow it up in writing. We simply propose to use electronic access which already exists and which could be used so easily. There will be greater controls on electronic access than on written requests because the former will be tracked and an audit trail made available for DSS arrangements.
I need to follow up the noble Lord's points as to whether anything may be forthcoming from the e-envoy. I am not aware that there is because of the relatively limited nature of what we are doing in Clause 2. We can do no more under that clause for these purposes than we can under Clause 1, which obviously does not involve electronic access. If there is anything useful that I can add, I shall be very happy to do so.

Out exclusively on Beatport October 17th!
Out on all portals October 31st!
To be called one of UK's fastest rising producers is one thing, but to live up to all high expectations is another. Not to Ben Nicky though. The mastermind behind 'Rattle', 'The One' and 'Drizzle' returns to AVA Recordings with new proof: 'Lifeline'.
Feasting on his characteristic sound, 'Lifeline' gets the heart rate up with a strong, sturdy build-up of elements that sway between tech and prog. As the track unfolds, 'Lifeline' will show you the softer, more melodic side of things, with catchy piano lines and tender synths. Don't let yourself be fooled though, cause 'Lifeline' is meant for peak-time pleasure and hands-in-the-air-moments. A refreshingly original track to strengthen the prog-trance genre!

Boy With Cancer Gets Secret Gifts for Over a Year
In the last 14 months, more than a dozen mystery packages have arrived for a 6-year-old boy diagnosed with cancer and, often, for his three siblings and parents. They frequently appeared after Dylan's "really bad days" and tough chemotherapy treatments, said Laurie Full, his mom, who blogs about their experiences.
Packages would show up outside their Illinois home, sometimes arriving when the family was inside the house, but never with any trace of the source's identity, other than the signature "Dylan's Secret Pal."

Offshore companies, such as oil rig operators, are being exposed unnecessarily to multimillion-dollar litigation because they do not have a coherent legal strategy, a report has shown.
Refusal to instruct a lawyer at an early stage, negative attitudes towards in-house lawyers and lack of commercial advice from external law firms, are also cited.
Some 60 per cent of offshore companies have "no strategy for avoiding litigation", according to the 'Industry Attitudes to Risk, Contracts and Legal Services' report, commissioned by maritime firm Curtis Davis Garrard.
Operators say lawyers are often not used at the outset of projects because they "bring no value to discussions about commercial risk". Contractors, on the other hand, believe "there are enough in-house lawyers in the offshore industry and thus there is no need for external lawyers". The report was based on interviews with 52 companies in the offshore sector, as well as shipyards and shipbrokers from 11 countries.
External law firms are also criticised for not focusing on the commercial goals of their offshore clients, a factor that the survey links to standard engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) documents – used widely in large offshore construction projects – being ineffectively employed.
Rather than seeing the EPC documents as a working document, designed and used to keep commercial objectives at the forefront of discussions, offshore contractors and operators believe they "should only be consulted when a problem arises".
In-house lawyers are accused of giving little time to due diligence in the early stages of a tender, while the process of contract negotiation and document drafting is also "hurried and poorly administered".
Curtis Davis Garrard partner Ian Garrard said: "It is not a case of more lawyers, but the better use of legal advisers with specialist knowledge."

To the Editor:
Re ''Jewish Groups Endorse Tough Security Laws'' (news article, Jan. 3): Not all Jewish groups have remained ''silent on or even supportive'' of the Bush administration's domestic antiterrorism proposals.
The Workmen's Circle-Arbeter Ring, the country's largest and oldest secular Jewish organization, which has advocated for social justice throughout its history, issued a public statement in November that expressed our concerns about the proposals.
The indefinite detention of immigrant populations, secret military tribunals and the monitoring of lawyer-client discussions will have serious, long-term repercussions that will be difficult to reverse. Effective measures can be taken -- like the hiring and training of airport-security personnel by the government -- that would leave our civil liberties intact.

Alumni & Parent Programs
Alumni Leadership Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The Alumni Leadership Scholarship will recognize and reward outstanding students who show leadership potential, actively participate in the Lewis & Clark community, and who want to create meaningful connections between students and alumni. To be eligible for this scholarship, you must be a current first year, sophomore, or junior at Lewis & Clark College and considered in good academic standing. This year, several scholarships in the amount of $1,200 each will be awarded. In addition, each scholar will have an opportunity to participate in alumni events and interact with the Board of Alumni to benefit career and professional development and build stronger connections with the alumni community. Alumni Leadership Scholarship recipients serve as Student Alumni Association Ambassadors.
Alumni Leadership Scholarship Application 2017-2018
The application asks for basic information and answers to four essay prompts. Please keep your answers to 500 words or less. We also require one letter of recommendation.
Applications will be reviewed by a committee of Board of Alumni members. Top applicants will be invited for a brief interview with the committee on Saturday, March 11. Students who are studying off-campus will be interviewed via Skype.
Deadline and Submission
Applications are due on Friday, February 10, 2017 by 5 p.m. You can submit it via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
You must be in good academic standing. First-year, sophomore, and junior students are eligible. If you have senior standing, but intend to enroll in courses at Lewis & Clark for two more semesters (not counting Spring '17), you are eligible.
First time scholarship recipients must be on campus for the first fall semester (Fall '17) after they have been awarded the Alumni Leadership Scholarship.
If you are going to be studying abroad for both fall 2017 and spring 2018 and are awarded the scholarship this year, your scholarship will be applied to your account the first semester that you are back on campus. Please see more about overseas/off-campus program participation below.
Scholar Benefits
There are great perks to being a scholar! Help with tuition is one of them. Furthermore, students that excel as Student Alumni Association (SAA) Ambassadors will be considered for renewal each year until they graduate. You will also get an in-depth understanding of the alumni community, and meet a lot of local and national alumni. Over the course of your time as an SAA Ambassador, you will gain valuable leadership experience and professional development. The Board of Alumni; the sponsors of the scholarship, will also send you event invitations to the Alumni Honors Banquet, Homecoming events, private receptions and more. You will also benefit from being part of a leadership group and gain experience in managing and planning events, recruiting and managing volunteers, and professional correspondence.
Scholar Requirements
It is anticipated that each recipient will take an active part in the Student Alumni Association and will serve as an ambassador between current students and alumni. The SAA Ambassadors help plan and execute meaningful events for students and alumni, and increase the connections between the alumni, Board of Alumni, the office of Alumni & Parent Programs, and current students. Participation requirements begin in April after scholarships are awarded and continue through May of the following year.
Each SAA Ambassador is expected to:
- Attend bi-weekly meetings, spring training and fall retreat.
- Co-develop one alumni career panel per year.
- Assist with an additional SAA project.
- Take a leadership role in Homecoming and Parents Weekend (October 20-22, 2017). Ambassadors must be available during this entire weekend to help with this signature event and act as representatives of the student body to alumni and parents.
- Participate in all other major events with SAA involvement: Alumni Honors Banquet, Board of Alumni gatherings and dinners, President's Holiday Reception, Careers for Pioneers and Career Panels.
For examples of other events and projects that you would be working on, visit the SAA calendar of events or email email@example.com.

A whole bunch better than I expected, anyway. After half a day getting the sunblock scorched off us at the Long Beach flea market, Mrs. O and I stopped on the way home at our favorite Adequate-Food place, the Norm's on Lakewood just south of the 91 freeway. Looking for something different and feeling burgerish I ordered what I think is called the San Francisco burger, which comes on grilled sourdough with cheese, tomato, lettuce and pickle for $6.99, fries included. I was delighted to hear "And how would you like that cooked?", and specified medium-rare. Well, the sandwich she brought me had an obviously hand-formed patty hanging well out of the diagonal-cut bread, and was definitely a two-hander. It had a nice bite to it, a good rich beefiness, was precisely the shade of pink I wanted and oozily juicy to boot. The pickle slices were served on the side, along with some extra lettuce and sliced tomato, I suppose in case I found my sandwich understuffed, but I didn't. The fries were in fact just adequate, a tad floppy, but as I was dripping burger juice all over them anyway (Oh, I DO like gravy on my potatoes!) any real crispness would have just been wasted.
I usually consider visiting any round-the-clock breakfast venue to be just an excuse to have some more of my favorite meal, but now I'm going to have to check in periodically to see whether this burger experience can reliably repeat itself. I guess I should also try it at some different Norm's places. All in the interests of Chow Knowledge, folks!

Early wrappers on the Good News bar looked like the front page of a newspaper. Good News Candy Bars by the box also come with 18 It's a Boy Stickers and 18 It's a Girl Stickers.

The human rights group Amnesty International says thousands of prisoners in Afghanistan suffer from grievously poor jail conditions, and it called on the United States to help improve their situation.
In a report issued today (Friday), Amnesty said journalists and non-governmental groups who visited detention facilities in Afghanistan, report that prisons there are dangerously overcrowded. The report added that prisoners do not have adequate food, medicine or shelter from the country's harsh winter.
The human rights group acknowledged that the Bonn agreement makes the Afghan Interim Authority formally responsible for detention facilities.
But, Amnesty argues the United States is responsible under international law for the welfare of prisoners who were in U-S custody before they were handed over to the Afghan Interim Authority. It added that these responsibilities also should be shared by other countries like Pakistan and Canada, whose forces also have detained and handed over prisoners.
Amnesty called on the United States and the international community to use their influence and give resources to Afghan officials to ensure that those imprisoned in Afghanistan are treated humanely.

Intertextile Beijing is the number one trade fair for apparel fabrics and accessories manufacturers and suppliers wanting to reach China's north and north-east region and guides the Asian market trends.
Domestic sales topped the market and represented 60 per cent of sales, showing an increasing importance of the Chinese economy and also reflected positively on the wool market. Japanese, European and North American numbers were down slightly compared with 2011.
Brimming with optimistic atmosphere the exhibition showcased innovative and favourite fabric styles, textures, patterns and applications powered by pleasant pop-art bright colours, varied natural blends, lightweight and ultra-thin open weaves, recyclable fibres and green dye.
A heritage trend to re-cast traditional patterns with creativity - signposted by The Wool Lab - covered a palette of neutral colours: khaki, grey, dusty pink, livid blue and dark green. Classic patterns of hound-tooth or Prince Welsh windowpane borrow the modern elegance from flocking treatment.
Danmao showed stiff transparent suitings in Merino Extrafine Super 100's with a high twist, which are formal and comfortable in summer.
LingLong's collection of 100 per cent knitting wool fabric with smoothness and stretch was enjoyed by the buyers.
Visitors enjoyed woollen fabrics, which are becoming more vigorous as well as increasingly popular with the younger fashionistas. Double-faced wool fabrics with natural wrinkle appearance due to the different shrinkage of two sides met the needs of women's wear designers. The wools are with more casual spirit and energetic.
Danmao lunched its first "Danmao tretch" spring summer collections with technologic developments, vintage preppy style and ultra-light fabrics with flexible characteristics. Designers leant towards brushed shirting wool fabrics with vintage colour groups.
At Qinghe Sanyang wools for sportswear were on show, with borrowed versatilities from chemical fibres.
Environmentally friendly fabrics are no longer novelty as more and more eco collections emerged. Wool and prolivon blends can be dyed at low temperatures, with rich texture and cool handle by Qinghe Sanyang to reduce the energy consumption.
The fashion trends guided mills to produce low carbon environmental eco-fabrics, offering a deeper understanding of environmental protection. The exhibition booth design was simple and elegant. To contribute to environment protection many mills, including LingLong and Danmao, are trying to reduce the construction materials and decoration used at the exhibition.

We all run from the ugly. And the farther we run from it, the more we stigmatize it and the more power we give beauty. Our communities are obsessed with being beautiful and gorgeous and hot. What would it mean if we were ugly? What would it mean if we didn't run from our own ugliness or each other's? How do we take the sting out of "ugly?" What would it mean to acknowledge our ugliness for all it has given us, how it has shaped our brilliance and taught us about how we never want to make anyone else feel? What would it take for us to be able to risk being ugly, in whatever that means for us. What would happen if we stopped apologizing for our ugly, stopped being ashamed of it? What if we let go of being beautiful, stopped chasing "pretty," stopped sucking in and shrinking and spending enormous amounts of money and time on things that don't make us magnificent?"

The County Will Hold Its First Cyber Town Hall Meeting
County Executive Dan Onorato is taking his town hall meetings to the web. Thursday morning at 8:30 Onorato will turn on the web camera used to broadcast county council meetings and begin to answer questions that have been emailed to email@example.com. The webcast can be found on the county website. Onorato spokesperson Kevin Evanto says the executive expects the webcast to last about 30 minutes but if the questions are rolling in he is ready to go longer. Several questions have already been submitted. The webcast will be archived. Evanto says if the webcast goes well they will schedule more in the future. Two classrooms will be hooked into the webcast. One in the Hill District and in South Fayette.

text: I just bought a Maranz SR8200 on the word of my dealer. Unfortunately, I started reading the archives of the forum here regarding all the problems of the x200 line. I noticed on my receiver that it has that annoying 1-2 second delay in finding the digital signal. It drives me nuts. I called Marantz about it today and actually got Chow on the phone, the gentleman referenced throughout here. He informed that this is normal operation for the receiver, that the signal must go through a processor first. I've had dirt cheap set ups in the past, like a Boston Accoustics 6000 box set where I never had this problem. Is Marantz being honest in saying this normal operation for this receiver? Do other receivers do it? Should I return this while I still have the chance? I apologize for bring up an old topic, I just want some fresh answers.

It's amazing the differences between my two boys. One of the greatest is their attitude towards school. Cava cries when school ends for the summer and Benjamin cries when it begins in fall. To make the transition into summer easier this year, I have decided to make it more structured for Cava. We will plan our activities (I am going through the lists of summer movies at our local theater, events at the Schiele, events at our local library, etcetera) and making a calendar so that we know what we will be doing and it gives them incentive to do things like clean their rooms and read as well as get them excited about any upcoming activities.
Paula Jeanne was kind enough to recommend a series that teachers had recommended to her called Summer Bridge Activities.
What I like about this book is that it covers not only reading, spelling, math, but also works on physical fitness and learning how to be flexible both physically, mentally, and in dealing with problems in life. One of the first lessons we had we shared about a situation where something didn't go our way and how we dealt with that and what would be the best way to deal with that situation. At the end of each lesson, he earns a star sticker, which is big for him because he used to get stickers or stamps each day in school if he had a good day.
He also started off by having to write three goals that he wants to reach by the end of the summer and, if he reaches those goals, he gets stickers for those as well as a certificate of achievement. When he saw this, Cava got very excited.
There are opportunities for us to incorporate outdoor learning, science experiments, and social studies lessons, as well as flash cards.
To go along with this workbook, his teacher suggested that I work with Cava on doing crafts because that was where he often got most frustrated in school. "I can't do it," he would often say in defeat because he's a perfectionist and gives up if what he's doing isn't up to what he thinks it should be. For our first craft, we decided to have him make a fish out of construction paper because I thought it would be a good simple place to start and, over the summer, we could work up to more elaborate crafts depending on how he progressed.
I found instructions online for creating a construction paper fish just to give me a guideline, but Cava kept wanting to run to the computer to look at it so he could make his just like the one online. Part of the lesson was for him to not rely on other people's work but to create his own. I turned the computer off and said, "Cava, there is no right or wrong way to do this craft. I want you to create your own fish, not recreate somebody else's. Today, we will make our fish our own way." At first he was very reluctant but I kept encouraging him to just do it his way. "Cava, your fish will be unique from any others because you made it. And it doesn't have to be perfect because nothing is. In fact, we will celebrate the imperfections of our craft because it's those imperfections that make it like no other."
After awhile, Cava got into it. He stopped worrying about cutting his scales to look like mine and he even stopped looking at what I was doing when I created my fish. This was a big step for him.
I gotta' admit, I loved hearing him say the words, "I did it!" He was so proud of his fish. We even displayed ours on the Blackwell Refrigerator Gallery:

Commitment to nature
Jürg Paul Müller, a biologist from Chur, is one of the foremost campaigners for the reintroduction of the bearded vulture to the Alps. The 69-year-old is passionate about re-establishing the bearded vulture – but he is committed to other causes too.
Jürg Paul Müller was born in 1945 in Chur. He studied biology at the University of Zurich at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, specialising in zoology. From 1971 to 1973, he was head of the Semien Mountains National Park in Ethiopia, where he came into contact with bearded vultures for the first time – becoming a fan of these mighty yet sedate birds. From 1973 to 2010, Müller was director of the Graubünden Natural History Museum in Chur, where he was primarily involved in implementing scientific findings. He is author of a number of different exhibitions and publications, organiser of specialist symposia and courses, and guest speaker at numerous events. Since retiring, he has worked on a freelance basis in the field of mammalian biology and scientific communication. He is also a founder member and Chairman of the Stiftung Pro Bartgeier (Swiss Foundation for Bearded Vultures), project manager of the Schatzinsel Alp Flix Foundation and trustee of the Pro Lutra Foundation.
Tip for a "biological" trip: Alp Flix
Bubbling brooks and flower-strewn meadows: this is the charming Alp Flix, a plateau high above the village of Sur in Graubünden. Jürg Paul Müller is also to be found running around here: under his leadership, scientists from Switzerland and abroad are recording the entire biodiversity of this area. The main point of interest is the interplay between species and their environment: Alp Flix is to be examined as a biological community, thus bringing to light nature in all its rich diversity. Alp Flix is a paradise for hikers – but: if you want to extend your experience of nature to the fascinating micro world, you should follow hot on the heels of the Alp Flix researchers. Because this treasure island only reveals its truly dramatic secrets through a magnifying glass. www.schatzinselalpflix.ch

2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The Chevrolet Silverado works hard to live up to its reputation as the 'strongest, most dependable and longest lasting full-size truck on the road'. The 1500 is the 'half-ton', model in Chevrolet's full-size pickup line-up. There are four engine sizes to choose from: 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter flex-fuel V8, 5.3-liter flex-fuel V8, and 6.2-liter V8; and two transmissions: a four-speed automatic and a six-speed automatic. Like all Silverados, the 1500 is available in a wide array of bed sizes, wheelbases, drive types and cab sizes, as well as a variety of trim levels. The standard StabiliTrak stability control system with proactive roll avoidance includes traction control, trailer sway control and hill hold assist. Available features include USB connectivity, rear back-up camera, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, OnStar and a navigation system. For 2013, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is carried over.

I can't remember who exactly said it or when, but I'm sure it's been said to more than once. I've been accused of being 'sheltered'.
It's not intended as a compliment obviously. It's usually said with a bit of snark, or a lot of snark – or sometimes lovingly but patronisingly.
You haven't been out partying, or had sex, or tried alcohol, or smoked a bit of weed or had someone attempt to sell you weed, or been invited to join a local gang. You weren't allowed to stay out past midnight age 16. You weren't allowed to have a boyfriend. Your parents monitored what you watched on television. You weren't allowed a computer in your room. You weren't allowed to hang around with certain people. Add on to the list..
Other parents would sneer at your parents too strict rules, and you would hear whisperings about how you would inevitably implode and rebel against the weight of all those rules.
Yet, here I am age 25 and still relatively sheltered. I'm not a goody two shoes by any stretch of the imagination and like any other 25 year old, I've had my screw ups, got my secrets and had moments where I've completely disregarded everything my parents taught me. But yet, the core values they taught to me have always stuck – I will never be comfortable bumping and grinding with randoms and the non-alcoholic lager I tried a couple years back didn't exactly inspire any desire to try the real thing. I'm still saying my morning prayers, going to church, drinking my soya milk and trying not to give my cookies away. And most importantly I'm learning each day (hopefully) to be more loving, kind, honest, courageous and faithful to the God I claim to believe in. So I guess their sheltering has mostly worked.
When I look around at my peers who weren't as sheltered as I was, while I don't want to throw shade on anyone else's parenting style, I don't envy their life when i compare it to mine. The idea that sheltering your kids is something to run away from baffles me. Parents are supposed to shelter their children. There's nothing to be gained from this idea that children have to make their own mistakes, and that it's better for them to have multiple screw ups before they 'find themselves'.
They might find themselves pregnant, high, drunk in the bed of a stranger, or with emotional and mental scars that take years to heal. If that's finding yourself then miss me out. Life is messy and hard and it hurts sometimes. We can't protect our children from that – but I'm trying to avoid inflicting unnecessary hurt on myself if possible.
Smart people learn from other people's mistakes as well as their own. I don't need to make the same mistakes my parents or other people made in order to don some badge of adulthood. I'm glad that I can look at other people's lives and realise that the decisions they made didn't work out well for them, and that it's probably a good idea to avoid doing what they did. Don't misunderstand me -it was important for me to understand that people lived life differently to the way I did and I'm not advocating only letting children interact with others who share the same belief system. I love the fact that my parents allowed me to find out about different cultures, religions and belief systems. It strengthened my own belief and encouraged tolerance.
But the idea that you can't be a successful well adjusted adult if your parents don't allow you to engage in 'normal' teenage behaviour is a complete myth. I'm happily living in a house by myself and paying my own bills with money from what most people would consider to be a good job. I wasn't allowed a boyfriend till 18 but I don't spontaneously combust in the presence of mankind, and start drooling (apart from if he's 6 ft 5 and has perfect grammar). I've managed to struggle through the first 25 years of life without a Bacardi Breezer as a companion on a Saturday night and still developed a robust sense of humour. And despite not ever having smoked a blunt, I have still retained the remarkable ability to think outside the box.
I know there are some people who were brought up in a strict household and feel resentful that they missed out on the best years of their life being tied up by a stringent set of rules. I understand that sentiment – I just can't relate to it. Even if I became an atheist tomorrow or just more liberal in my values, I honestly have had so many good times in the community I grew up in, along with the values that come with it, that I would find it hard to be angry. Even if I've been completely misled, I've been quite happy with it. It's not always been rosy – there are times when I've wanted to see what it's like to live completely differently. There are times when I've felt like a complete outsider, and it can be very lonely. And Lord knows (literally He knows) that there have been times when a bump and grind with good looking guy isn't the easiest thing to say no to (because we all know that's one of the hardest things).
But the bottom line is that children usually rebel when you give them rules without relationship. Children rebel when you're a hypocrite. And children rebel when they ask hard questions about WHY they can't do certain things and you don't give them good enough answers. Thankfully for me, although my parents weren't perfect, there was a healthy enough dose of love, authenticity and smart answers that by the time I was able to live my own life, I actually believed all the values my parents taught me. I had seen it work for them and I had seen the path of other people who chose differently to know that I preferred the values that were handed down to me.
Everyone has to figure out life on their own and if children choose to travel their path differently from their parents recommended route, then it's entirely their choice. But whatever your moral compass, don't apologise for sheltering your children from things you don't want them to see or experience. While it's important that they aren't naive to the point of being vulnerable, they have plenty of time to see all the ugly things the world has to offer. Let them rest in the beauty for a while.
What are your thoughts? Were you sheltered? What is too much sheltering?

Black Cab Tour
Belfast Travel Blog› entry 13 of 16 › view all entries
This day, we would take a black cab tour of the 2 neighborhoods in Belfast, which was well known for the Troubles between Protestants and Catholics.
I hopped into one of them, which could carry around 5 or 6 people. We would first visit the Protestant neighborhood, and be shown the various murals around the area. A guide told us the story behind each one. Then we went to the wall, which was the dividing line between the 2 neighborhoods. After that, we went to visit the Catholic neighborhoods, and see the murals in that area as well. Plus a visit to the memorial garden there. The guide would share about the struggles between the 2 groups.
Then we went to the International Peace Wall, which had a bunch more murals on it. This one has ones with George W. Bush, Frederick Douglass, Picasso's painting from the Spanish Civil War, and more. It seemed like I was the only one who recognized them, and felt a little too nerdy when identifying them to the guide.
We would return to the hostel, to get our things, then leave Belfast. We would stop by the Legananny Dolmen. This was a structure that looked like as if a kid put 3 stones together to form an arch. Hard to believe that it could stand like that, without any help from machinery. This structure was an ancient burial ground. This was our final stop in Northern Ireland.
We would cross into Republic of Ireland.
