Relish is one of my favorite albums from that era, and the followups were all quite good, too.
Her last CD is a lot of blues covers, and she just kills it. I've seen her a few times in the past few years and she can really bring it.
This is from before she was signed - live to 2-track in a club:
"Thank You, NASA!"
Yep. Great singer. Great movie.______________
tlbonehead commented04-07-2013, 08:01 PMEditing a commentshe's the real deal. Especially when she digs into the dirty grungy blues stuff.
She was recently involved in a project with Audley Freed, Steve Gorman, and Jackie Greene called Trigger Hippy, but I don't think they ever recorded an album. There is some stuff on youtube though and it sounds pretty good. She also did some live stuff with Phil Lesh that was pretty good.http://www.reverbnation.com/thedubiouscapture

I've followed her for years, since the first one (Relish) was released. One album that is WAY overlooked is her second, produced by Mitchell Froom in 2000. Righteous Love. Here's the only one I could find off that album. Quirky cool.
I have the DVD of Standing In the Shadows of Motown. In the commentary track, Allan Slutsky points out Pistol Allen's drumming on that song. Pistol was dying of cancer, but didn't tell anybody, because he was afraid they wouldn't let him do the film.
Check out the drum fill Pistol plays at 3:35. You can tell that being able to play with these musicians again and finally getting recognition for what he did gave him the strength to get through the pain. I get choked up every time I watch this.Originally Posted by caveman

After more then three years of persistence the Cobram Men's Shed will be getting the extra storage space it has been asking for.
Up until two weeks ago, the requests for a storage container had gone ignored by the Cobram Showgrounds committee, but a phone call last week changed that.
Cobram Men's Shed member Terry Langton said it wasn't until he called the committee last Wednesday that he found out the storage container had been approved.
''Around three years ago we (the Cobram Men's Shed) put in an application to the Cobram Showgrounds committee to get an additional storage container put out the back of our shed,'' Mr Langton said.
''But since then we hadn't heard anything more about it.
''I wrote the committee another letter in January of this year asking if there was an update, but again heard no reply.
''It wasn't until this week when I called them that I found out it would be going ahead.''
Mr Langton said the new storage space was welcome news to the group, because the shed was becoming cluttered.
''We often get people drop off old book cases or TV units that we are able to pull apart for materials, and after a while we simply run out of space.''
Mr Langton said a meeting had been set up for Tuesday (yesterday) with the showgrounds committee in order to work out the details of the container and where exactly it would be placed.
''Our hope would be have it fenced off so that we won't have to worry about it being broken into.''
Mr Langton said he and his fellow 24 Cobram Men's Shed members were excited about the prospect of the storage container, but there was still more work to be done for the group.
''We do ask businesses around the area who might have bits of timber or other materials they might not need any longer to donate them to us. Any little bit helps.''

In their opening FIFA World Cup encounter against the tournament debutants on Sunday, Argentina – and Messi in particular – looked disjointed for large parts of the game.
Having taken a third-minute lead through Sead Kolasinac's own goal, Argentina struggled to build on their early advantage.
That was until the 65th minute when Messi exchanged passes with substitute Gonzalo Higuain, beat two men and curled a low shot in off the left-hand upright to double his side's advantage, with Vedad Ibisevic's late goal no more than a consolation for Bosnia.
Sabella, who conceded that Argentina have room for improvement, was quick to praise his captain and talisman.
"On balance I would give it (Argentina's display) a six (out of 10)," he said.
"We need to improve and part of that is in my hands – it is up to me.
"The changes at half-time (which saw Higuain and Fernando Gago enter the fray to prompt a change in formation) just produced this improvement. They were playing better together and there was more support around Messi.
"Once Messi received the ball there was better follow-up and better support.
"I think that, whatever happens in this World Cup, he is among the best players in the history of football."

FAYETTEVILLE — An, 18-7 overall/7-5 SEC fourth-place Arkansas Razorbacks team craving to burst through the NCAA Tournament bubble has two remaining SEC opportunities against national ranked teams especially to impress the tournament selection committee.
The first of these ranked two last chances is Wednesday night.
Coach Frank Martin's South Carolina Gamecocks, ranked 21st and 19th in the Associated Press and Coaches polls, and identically sharing SEC first place at 20-5 overall and 10-2 in the SEC with Kentucky and Florida going into Tuesday night before Tennessee hosted Kentucky and Florida visited Auburn, host the Razorbacks at 5:30 p.m. (CST) on the SEC Network at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C.
"This time of year I keep saying the games get bigger," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "Obviously going against a ranked opponent, South Carolina, it gives us a tremendous opportunity A great challenge but a great opportunity and hopefully we can go in there and play some of our best basketball. Because I still don't think we have played our best basketball yet."
The Gamecocks, defeating Florida and losing in the SEC only at Kentucky and a four-overtime epic at home to Alabama and with nonconference triumphs over Michigan and Syracuse, have played their best basketball all season long. And Anderson, whose history coaching against Martin goes back to their Big 12 days when Anderson coached Missouri and Martin coached Kansas State, knows Martin aims to keep it that way.
"It seems like they are on a mission," Anderson said. "They're a real focused team that is going to play very physical."
And their best player is very versatile. Sindarius Thornwell, the Gamecocks' 6-6 one size fits nearly all positions senior, is the SEC Player of the Week after averaging 36 points the last two games in the four-overtime loss to Alabama and last Saturday's 77-73 victory at Mississippi State.
"You tell me another player in the country that plays four different positions (everything but center) and defends the best player on the other team," Martin said. "I know the players he plays against respect the heck out of him."
Thornwell carries white collar stats, team-leading 20.8 points and 7.5 rebounds as a blue-collar player. Blue collar seems the M.O. of about all whom Martin developed at Kansas State and South Carolina after assisting Bob Huggins at Cincinnati.
South Carolina guards PJ Dozier, Duane Notice and forward Chris Silva this season blossomed offensively and defensively, their development forced to speed up together when Thornwell missed the first six games under disciplinary suspension.
"This is a team that takes pride in their defense," Anderson said. "We have to take care of the ball because they get in the passing lanes. One of the things that's really a concern is their rebounding. They'll throw it up and go get it. They don't let up."
Anderson's Razorbacks don't let up either, Martin asserts.
Martin especially cited Arkansas guards Dusty Hannahs, Jaylen Barford, Daryl Macon and Anton Beard and senior center Moses Kingsley.
"You had better take good shots and not turn it over against them because Arkansas is as good as anyone out there," Martin said. "Those are aggressive scoring guards. If you make a mistake they just take it and are on you. We have to be very clean against them. They rely on their forwards being runners and defensively aggressive more than rebounders. Moses Kingsley has established himself as one of the better big guys in the conference. We have our hands full."

Akali 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.
Introduction: Akali: enemies will say "Surrender at 20!"
So you want play Akali! This guide is perfect for you! I have played over 600+ games, and did 5 Penta Kills, a lot of double, triple, and quadra kills! So is safe to say that I play Akali well. Akali is my main champion, the 2 other champions I specialize is Sion and Singed. A.K.A: A.S.S. (Akali, Sion, Singed)
I hope this guide can help people that is having a hard time using Akali. I am open for opinions, and I believe everyone is entitle to! Okay! Lets get started!
NOTE: I have played Akali with so many build/guide. This build fits my needs and makes me survive longer then any other Akali builds. I also like playing build 2! More in spell vamp! (64% + 25% Will of the ancient = 94%)
Pros / Cons: Strength and Weakness!
*High burst damage
*Low Cool Downs
*Amazing Chaser/Ganker
*Ultimate Mid Lane Champion
*Nice escape skill "Shroud".
*100% Lean mean Killing Squishy Machine! (1vs1 or 2vs1)
*Akali is a squishy.
*No crowd control.
*Struggles in 5vs5 team fights. (Because most likely she will get focus)
Core Items: 94% Spell Vamp! If one of your team gets "Will of the Anci
Build 1: More on damage!
Build 2: Spell vamp 64% + 25% (if one of your teammates gets Will of the Ancient)= 94%
These are item I would go for because it gives damage and high spell vamp. Yeah I know it has a low magic pen and hardly any magic resist.
(You decide which build you like! I love both of them and play them often!)
My reasons:
1) You would only need magic pen if you're trying to kill a tank! And that is not Akalis' Role! Akalis' role is killing Squishy with-in seconds! Akali is really not effective in killing tank champion. So don't even try to kill a tank! Unless under leveled! Under fed! Died so many times! lol! That only means; he is not a threat.
2) You would only need magic resist if you are dying too much! I hardly die with Akali because I know her limitations. Once you know her limitation you would wouldn't need magic resist.
You die too much? Here is what I recommend.
WARMOGS: If there is a lot of DPS carry!
FORCE OF NATURE: If there is a lot of AP carry!
GUARDIAN ANGEL: regardless this would be your second tank item.
NOTE: Make sure to get your "Hextech gunblade" before you get your tank item. After you get hextech; alternate your buying pattern.
For example:
Runes/ Mastery/ Summoners Spell:
Runes & Mastery:
I'm not going to go in detail with this subject because a lot of people has different play style. I have played Akali with so many Runes set, and I have realize that the runes and mastery I am using now gives me so much consistency than any other Runes and Mastery build.
If you don't believe me please try out my build and you will see. :D
Summoners Spells:
Flash and Ignite! lol! Just don't ask question just do! By far this is the best Summoner spell for Akali and many Champions. eheheh
Akali Game Play: Akali Mid Lane is the best way to go!
I have tried playing with Akali in every lane, jungle, solo top. The best lane for Akali is Mid Lane. I have never gotten owned with Akali at Mid Lane! Unless gank by the other teams jungler! As far as 1vs1 Mid Lane goes, Akali is Unstoppable! Again just try it out for yourself and you will see what I am talking about.
You would see Akali maximum potential when you play her at mid lane!
The Secret:
*The secret in a successful Akali is out leveling everyone by +3/+5 levels. This guild will show you what skill you must practice and knowledge to achieve this goal.
My Golden rules: Keep your friends close! Keep your enemies closer!
My golden rule before I go in and harass or commit into killing my opponent:
1) I wait until they use their most devastating skill or Ultimate. Don't just jump in! Anticipate and pay attention what skill they're using. Is also good to have your mobafire web page up so that you can see what that champion can do.
2) Study your opponent (like I said mobafire is a good source to know your enemy) Is important to know how long their cool downs are and how much damage it can inflict! Is important to estimate your chance's and limitation's fast!
3) Make sure your shroud and flash is out of cool downs. There would be time when you don't have flash or shroud. You have a strong feeling you can kill your opponent and you see all four enemy champion in your mini map. Take the initiative and go for the kill!
4) Your "Mini Map" is your best friend!!! Always look at your mini map! See how many enemy champions in your map! If you only see one! It's obvious to go back and defend tower! Don't make a rookie mistake by not paying attention to your mini map! Is there! utilize it!
Mid lane Level 1-6: Last hit minions/ Maintain opponents Health below 50%!!
Akali don't shine till level 6. So until you reach level 6, last hit minions by using your "Q" (Mark of the Assassin) ability. Harass enemy champion when you see an opportunity; use your "Shroud and Mark of the Assassin".
The Secret:
*Don't use your summoner spells or your health potion until your level 6. (There are times when you have to flash in hit your opponent and ignite them to kill them.)
*From level 1-6 keep your opponent health below 50% to prepare your kill when you reach level 6. (shadow dance)
Mid lane Level 6-11: Stay Mid lane as long as possible!
When you're level 6 you should be able to finish off your opponent with out any problem with just one shadow dance, mark of the assassin, crescent slash, and ignite (make sure you have at-least 2 shadow dance for insurance). If you're not successful in keeping your opponent below 50% health. You would need to use this combo.
Here is the combo to wear your opponent down:
Use your "Q" ability and wait for like 3 seconds then ---> R (Shadow Dance)---> Q (Mark of the Assassin) ---> E (Crescent Slash) ---> W (Shroud).
With this combo you will be able to put your opponent down to 50% health. Run back past your minions so they think you're running away. When you see them chasing you, and they are far away from their tower repeat the combo all over again and use ignite. If necessary use "Q" and "R" again. (Basically just keep repeating the combo over and over again until you know you can commit to a kill.)
*Combo in sequence:
Shroud: You would only use this to escape or when you are ganking (via getting focus) or in a team fight.
Crescent Slash: This is good for farming! (Once your AP is high) For the time being is a good skill to last hit. (It also gives extra damage to champions!)
Shadow Dance: This will be your bread and butter! You can use this skill to chase and sometimes escape if you can target an enemy minion.
"Q" ability and wait for like 3 seconds then ---> R (Shadow Dance)---> Q (Mark of the Assassin) ---> E (Crescent Slash) ---> W (Shroud).
*Stuff to know before you commit and kill your opponent:
1) Make sure your opponents health is 50% or below. (once you have your Hextech Gunblade you would be able to kill your opponent at 100% health)
2) Make sure there not close to there towers.
3) For opponents that has stuns or devastating ultimate. You would have to anticipate and wait for them to use it before you commit.
The Secret:
*You would want to kill your opponent at mid right away, and stay in mid lane as long as possible so you can out level him. If you get to kill your opponent 3-5 time you will out level him by +2/+4 level. (People gets very mad when they just resurected and got back at there tower to just die in less then a min or two.) lol!
*Never gank top or bot unless you know 100% you can get a kill. Because if you can't kill anyone; You will have downtime in not leveling up. Remember the key is "out leveling everyone" +3/+5 levels!
*If you see enemy champions at top or bot with 40% health or below, and is near your top tower! It is worth the trip and downtime! But then again, if your team can handle it and don't need help just let them be. Let them get the kill and just focus in defending your lane.
Level 11-16: Cut them off! Before they get a chance to regroup!
By this time you out level all opponents by +3 or +5 levels (This will give you a great advantage!!!). By Level 14 you should have your Hextech Gunblade and Sorcerers boots. This is when you can kill a squishy opponent with 100% health with-in seconds!
Combo sequence with Hextech Gunblade:
R (Shadow dance)---> Hextech Gumblade---> Q (Mark of the Assassin)---> W (Crescent Slash)---> Normal attack x2---> And just keep repeating until your opponent is dead!
The Secret:
*Pay attention as you go in. Most likely you would get "exhaust", blind or devastating CC; When that happens fall back a bit or use your shroud and wait for it to disappear.
*Timing is the key! Ask you teammate if they see them using ULT, Summoners spells, or other CC skills. You wouldn't want to jump in just to get owned. Be patience, once you know that they use their skill; go all out! (Once you get your sheen, and will of the ancient it really wouldn't matter. You can just go for the kill anytime! As long is a 1v1)
*Let your teammates know to cut off the other team that is trying to aid their team!
*If you get to kill one or two opponent consistently, Then you are doing your job as an assassin!
Do this successfully and your enemy will say "Surrender at 20". Believe me it happens to me and my friends all the time!
Level 16 - 18: Team fights
By this time every team is trying to form ganks and team fights. Team fights could be difficult for Akali sometimes. NEVER INITIATE!!! If you do you will die! lol!
*In team fights positioning and timing is important for Akali. You would always want to position yourself near there squishy or carry.
*Let your team come in first to eliminate the other teams CC.
*If the enemy team has "Oracles" (seeing you while invisible). You would have to communicate to your team to kill the person with "Oracles" or if your team can kill 2 to 3 champions right away then is safe for you to help.
The Secret:
*Your job as an assassin through out the whole game is to always and consistently eliminate 1 or 2 enemies! Make it easy for your team so you guys can fight 5v4 or 5v3! (Meaning you guys being the 5 man team that is still alive.)
*No team is perfect! Every team makes a mistake! Capitalize on their mistake and ace them!
*As an assassin you have to be good at cutting off enemy champion before they regroup.
Example: If you see 1 top, 1 mid, and 3 bot. You should be on your way to top or mid to kill an enemy.
*Avoid trying to get seen by the enemy team. You can do that by knowing how the "fog of war" map works. You're an assassin you have to be unpredictable where you would strike.
Is important to kill the person with oracles right away!
1) You can deny your opponent 400g
2) His/her teammate would see oracles is not effective! Teammate wont buy oracles!
If you don't kill the person with oracles right away, and you die a lot! This is what going to happen:
1) The other team will find oracles effective, and instead of 1 enemy with oracles there would be 2 or 3!
2) In team fights you would be utterly useless! Four of your teammate will have a hard time going up against 5. 4v5 is never good!
3) Like what I said earlier:
NOTE: Oracles or champs that has the ability to see invincibility like "Lee Sin" or "Talon" is one of Akali's worst enemies!
Conclusion: Enemy will say "Surrender at 20!"
If you fallow this guide right, and out level everyone by +3 +5 you will see your opponents surrendering at 20! I see it a lot! There are times when you go up against those hard headed team that think that they can win! I don't blame them! I am one of those hard headed players!
I'm very optimistic even if the odds are against me! I like being an optimist! Keeping a positive attitude really help turn the tides! (Me and my friends call it "THE TIDE HAS TURD!) I have been in a lot games where I thought we have lost! But still won the game!
League of Legends: Art of War Philosophy
*40+ minute in the game: all it takes is just that one Ace to win the game!
*No team is perfect! Every team makes a mistake! Capitalize on their mistake and ace them!
*Until you see the defeat sign never give up!
*Never exchange your positive winning spirit with a negative losing spirit! Don't be a soar loser!
*Keep your friends close! Keep your enemies closer!
*A great offense! Is the best defense! Remember that!
*Cut them off before they regroup!
Thank you for reading my guide! I hope the information I gave was enough. I will continue to add video on how I play Akali in the near future. Have a wonderful day summoners and kick some butt with Akali! :D
Add me if you guys want to play together! My summoners name is CLONE XI
My Akali Score: My scores will be updated from time to time.
If I only new that I would make a guide I should have had print screen all my 600+ games with Akali! lol!

Bristol Rovers (1) 3 Luton (1) 2
THE city of Bristol is riding the crest of a late summer wave after Bristol Rovers moved to the top of Division Three on Saturday while Bristol City went clear of Division Two.
The last time Bristol Rovers began a season in such form was during Gerry Francis's first spell as manager. A win at Darlington today would emulate their best start, back in 1936.
The return of Francis has imbued the players with an ebullience which was fully evident in Saturday's five-goal thriller against Luton.
Luton were boasting a 100 per cent record going into the match but were cut apart by the thrusting Rovers' attack. However, Bristol's domination was not reflected by the final score.
Francis said: "We did enough to win that game several times with the number of chances we created. That's as well as we've played yet this season and, to be honest, we should have won it far more comfortably."
Regarding Rovers' chances of a quick return to Division Two, he added: "It's early days yet and we'll have to see how we're doing at Christmas time but you can't ask for anything more than four wins from four games at the start of the season."
Rovers' chances of promotion may rest heavily on the retention of their young striker Nathan Ellington, who has already been linked with a move to Cardiff. He was the liveliest player on the pitch and opened Rovers' account when he neatly met a Kevin Gall cross in the 29th minute.
He continued to torment the slipshod Luton defence throughout and set up Rovers' third, enabling Gall to sidefoot home from 12 yards.
Rovers' second had been a lucky deflection from a weak David Hillier shot and both Luton's goals came after defensive errors.

All I can see is 'Up time' and 'awake time', these are both showing how long the phone has been used for since it was first used not since last charge. The only thing I can see about battery info is under 'battery use' and it just says ..h ..m ..s since unplugged.

I download videos from twitch.tv. The videos are in .flv
I get a lot of corrupted videos. And when I say corrupted, I mean most media players including both my video editors (VideoPad and PowerDirector) will not play these files, or will not play them all the way.
However, these files will play in GOM Player. They will play from start to finish, display the correct duration, perfect A/V sync, and allows me to skip and search, i.e. they work fine in GOM Player.
It is important to me that I be able to edit these files in PowerDirector.
I've used a few video converters, and they either lock up and won't convert the corrupted video, or they will convert/transcode only the first few minutes, just like my two video editors do when I try to convert these corrupted videos.
I used one program that claimed it could "fix" corrupt FLV files, and all it did was break it so that nothing could play it.
Another program I used was supposed to fix either timestamps or metadata, and it succeeded in marking the video as infinite length, which caused PowerDirector to crash upon importing.
Re-downloading the video doesn't help, apparently the "corruption" is on the Twitch server.
Any ideas on how to remedy this, at least make the files able to be converted to something else?
Is it just a matter of going through every free video converter I can find and trying it out? Should I spend more time looking for metadata and time stamp editors and trying to figure out how all that works?

They're not corrupted, they are just FLV files. FLV files have always been a "pain in the a§§"....period.
I used to use (name redacted) to convert FLV to uncompressed AVI, then edit them, but I'm not even going to mention
the software's name because nowadays it is a trojan, virus filled piece of crap.
hech54, if it's not against the forum rules, can you tell me what program it is that is now a virus, so I can avoid downloading it? At least tell me if it is one of the converters recommended on the list in this forum?
I just got one of those videos converted with WinFF. It works, but converts slowly. It took at least twice as long to convert the file as the file takes to play. On my machine, using PowerDierector, it normally takes half as long to converter a video as it does to play. So this converts 4 times slower. So instead of taking me 4 hours to convert 8 hours of video, it will take me 16.
But at least I have established it's just a matter of finding the right converting program.
Actually, I discovered a few things.
1. Winff was converting very slowly because the original file size was 1280 (or something like that) and I was saving it as 1920. It was sizing the picture bigger.
2. The whole video wasn't saved. Apparently I was mistaking.
I've tried Replay Media Catcher 5, and attempted to fix duration. It says the video duration is only 10.40 (the video is actually 24.26 duration).
I've tried handbrake and a few other converters, all of them want to save the video at 10.40.
I used FLVMDI and here is what it tells me (more or less)
"42% done
Tag data truncated. End of data encountered.
I left out all the 1% done, 2% done etc.
And of course saves the new file at 10.40 in duration.
So the problem seems to be a premature end of data.
I tried using YAMDI, and after playing around forever with the command line (I seriously hate command lines) I completely give up. I don't know what the program is doing, has done, if anything. I just know I kept altering the command line data until it stopped telling me my commands were wrong.
I discovered GOM makes a converter. I figured if the player could play it, maybe the converter can convert it. No. It just locks up and tells me the source file might be corrupted (and the converter is just stupid in adition to that. Like it only lets you save to weird formats).
Any suggestions on how to fix that missing data that seems to make players stop reading at the 42% mark (10.40 minutes) would be appreciated.
Like I said, GOM player will play the full 24.26 video.
I have split the file with FLV extractor, and attached is the txt file output
PS. Hoser Rob, I already tried Avidemux it also tells me the duration is only 10.40 minutes.
Run it through MKVmergegui and it will repack it into an MKV in seconds, no reencoding, but makes a new header, metadata, etc. and a lot easier to handle than FLV. The video in FLV is usually AVC, same as in most "native" MKV, though MKV accommodates just about any codec.

Timecodes are fine, 29.97 CFR
How are you downloading the videos ? Why are they corrupted in the first place ? Maybe try a better downloading method /software ?
If the MKV rewrap doesn't work or powerdirector "barfs" on MKV's, you can try re-wrapping to MP4 (mymp4boxgui, yamb) or transport stream instead (tsmuxer)
GOM is a directshow player, and players often have error correction or skip over some errors. But you can try encoding it through directshow (e.g. avisynth DirectShowSource, or maybe vdub directshow driver)

Your Perfect Blush/
Okay, so this blush isn't really magic, but it's close. pH Matchmaker by Physicians Formula ($13) senses the pH levels of your skin and adjusts its color within 60 seconds to give you the right glow. It's something about the fluorescein-based dye, and it's all very scientific sounding. Here's what I know: I have a habit of dabbing various lip products on my cheeks and calling it blush because 1. I'm lazy and 2. That works pretty well. But when I have a moment for true blush, this one hits the mark. The powder even has light-adjusting pigments so that you look the same indoors and outdoors in different brightness levels. Plus, the compact has a built-in LED light, which is like having your own Hollywood style dressing mirror on the go.
Is it magic? I don't know, but I like it.

Sip the best Czech beer in Prague thanks to author Evan Rail, (Why Beer Matters) and Eating Prague tours. Having curated his own beer tour, he shares Prague's best beers with us.
Why is Czech beer different?
The Czech tribes made beer over 1,000 years ago and they were the first people to use hops before they even settled in what is now Prague. A definite advantage is the climate here; you've got some of the world's best barley, some of the world's best hops and extremely pure, soft water. That's three of the four ingredients right there.
What makes Czech beer so special?
There are two things that make it different; the ingredients and the process. The ingredients are unique, with its types of barley and hops. But it's the process that's really different. 'Czech beer' is a protected term in the EU and has to be made here, with the right ingredients and with this particular process that the rest of the world no longer uses.
It takes more time and other people reckon they can approximate the taste with other ingredients, but I can tell you they can't. You're talking about an extra three to four hours of brewing which changes the taste and the flavour.
Why is Prague so good for beer?
It's one of the best European cities for beer. There are other cities that have more variety or they might have a bigger craft beer scene but for a combination of traditional and craft beer, amazing prices and a beautiful setting you cannot beat Prague. And there's extremely good public transport, key for beer travellers.
What beers can you drink in Prague on your tour?
We take in the basic common beer that anywhere else in the world would be a premium beer but here is a daily drink and we try it in one of Prague's most beautiful beer gardens. We drink dark lager in a working man's pub. We drink pale lagers, or pilsners, including one from a brewery founded in 993AD. We drink modern craft beers and the traditional ones in a traditional setting.
What are the best Czech beer snacks?
We have the best snacks. We have a soft marinated cheese like a Camembert, which is layered with spices similar to paprika and soaked in oil for a couple of weeks then served on a hard rye bread. It's gooey, spicy and filling and it goes well with pilsners.
We also have a Scotch egg thanks to a wonderful British chef who has opened up one of the best-rated restaurants in Prague (we stop at his pub next door). It's quite gourmet.
What's the craft beer scene like in Prague?
The Czech Republic is a traditional beer brewing country and it also consumes the most beer per capita – double that of the UK and the US. We're talking 144 litres per person per year. So while they have this proud tradition of brewing, with this kind of consumption there's room for lots of craft beer too. There was a scene here before there was one in Germany. Czechs are traditional but also open minded so they starting brewing IPAs, British style milds and American pale ales much earlier than neighbouring countries. That's why it's such a great city for beer.
What's the best beer garden in Prague on the tour?
T-Anker, which is at the top of the ugliest building in Prague, a Communist monument to brutalism. It looks over the Old Town and serves six or seven types of draught beer - all small microbreweries or regional producers.
What's the coolest thing about Prague?
It's a very compact city - narrow and intimate. There are so many secret doorways and little streets that you would just walk past unless you knew they were there. Some of these unknown destinations are what we're showing to people on the tour; it's more of an inside view on Prague. There's so much about Prague that isn't revealed on your first visit, or third or even when you've lived here for 10 years. You need time or a good guide!
"There's only two things that cure a hangover - time or death "
How did you get involved in curating the tour?
An old friend works for Eating Europe tours and he approached me and asked me if I'd be willing to come up with the itinerary for the tour and create it. You can't turn down an old friend! I've sat in on the tour and will do so in the future, it's fun to see tourists discovering Czech beer. Tours like this are the easiest ways to understand local life. I'm a big fan of the band Pulp, and there's a line where Jarvis Cocker says 'I took her to a supermarket' and I think it's the way to understand cultures. I've always been fascinated with food, markets and even packaging – it all tells you something about a place and the people.
What's your favourite hangover cure?
I like a softly cooked egg. Maybe a few. With some cheese and buttered toast. Lots of coffee. And later on Vietnamese pho. That's very restorative. There's only two things that cure a hangover - time or death.
What three words describe Prague?
Beautiful. Old. Secret.

Report: Phil Mickelson buying ownership in San Diego Padres
Admit it: If you had insane boatloads of cash and a love of sports, you might do something ridiculous like buy your favorite sports team. Because fans always know better how to run their favorite team than the guys in charge, of course. (Right, Daniel Snyder?)
Anyway, Phil Mickelson, a San Diego homeboy and lifelong Padres fan, is getting in on the impending purchase of the team. Mickelson is part of a team headed by former Dodgers owner Peter O'Malley that is on the verge of purchasing the team, according to Fox Sports.
The purchase price is valued at $800 million, a figure that includes $200 million for a portion of the team's equity stake in Fox Sports San Diego. The deal is in the process of being vetted by Major League Baseball, and could receive approval at the owners' meetings in August.
[Related: Phil Mickelson incurs penalty, misses the cut at Greenbrier Classic]
"Growing up, the Padres were my team and still are," Mickelson said in May. "I always had a love for the team. But [recently] I just felt disassociated with the organization a little bit as a fan. I just know I didn't identify with the players or have an emotional connection. Where I want to get involved is I want to get a personal involvement with the players and the community — personal interaction with fans, more community outreach. I want to create an emotional tie with the players and the community."
Mickelson's stake in the team wasn't revealed, but it's safe to say that Mickelson, consistently one of sports' highest earners, will be able to handle the ownership capital expectations.

The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association hosted a Poker Fun Run on Saturday to gather food for the Cameron Family Center at the Great Falls Rescue Mission.
The entry fee for motorcycle riders to enter the poker run was not money, but instead $10 worth of non-perishable food.
Just like a hand of cards in a poker run, the motorcycle riders drew one card at each of the five stops on the run.
They drew their first card at Great Falls before they departed, and then they drove to Fairfield, Choteau, Augusta, and ended in Vaughn.
The winner got $50 in cash, while the rider who drew the worst hand got a free bottle of liquor from the Silver Spur Bar in Vaughn.
Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association Member, James Reed explained: "At any time, whether you're part of this ride or not, come down and support. If you've got extra food in your pantry, come drop it off at the Rescue Mission. If you buy something and you think "oh my kids are gonna love this cereal, and they never open it like my kids do, come give that cereal down here to the Rescue Mission, they'll put it to work."
The Rescue Mission is hosting a Back To School Fun drive on August 27th where they will hand out backpacks filled with school supplies to roughly 600 kids.
People can donate school supplies to the Rescue Mission for that effort from now until August 27th.

Red and Green Latkes for Hanukkah at Christmas
Some years Hanukkah and Christmas overlap—not only do they overlap this year, but the first night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas Eve! To have a little fun with this intersection of holidays, I made two non-traditional versions of a classic Hanukkah mainstay: latkes. Red and green latkes, to be precise. The red latkes are made from beets and the green latkes are made from broccoli. Italian cooks like to add a little Parmesan to their frittelle di broccoli (broccoli fritters). I left mine plain with just a little ricotta, but feel free to add some Parmesan for an Italian flair.
The beet latkes are like the "rich man's latkes" from my mother's cookbook since they don't have anything added like flour to make them heartier. They're more delicate than the broccoli latkes and are almost lacy when cooked. The broccoli has more moisture, so I added extra flour and some ricotta to make them a bit fluffier.
Latkes Two Ways
1. Fill a medium-sized pot with water and salt to blanch the broccoli. Trim the stalk of the broccoli by cutting off the rough end and peeling the rest. Then slice the broccoli into large "trees." Add the broccoli to the boiling water for 2 minutes. While it blanches, prepare a bowl of ice and water to shock the broccoli after removing from pot. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Grate the onions and squeeze them in a kitchen towel to get as much of the onion juice out as possible. Discard juice.
3. Peel and grate the beets on the large-grate side of a box grater. Squeeze them in a paper towel (unless you don't mind staining a cloth towel) and discard the juice.
4. Mix the grated beets, 2 eggs and half of the grated onions in a bowl. Season with ½ tsp. salt and about ¼ tsp. pepper. Set aside.
5. Cut the broccoli stalks down all the way to the very top of the florets so you have tiny florets and stalks. Break the florets up into a bowl (like crumbling feta cheese with your fingers). Grate the stalks on the box grater and add them to the florets.
7. Mix in flour, ricotta, one egg, the rest of the grated onion and the remaining ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Set aside.
8. In a hot frying pan, add 2 Tbsp.vegetable or grapeseed oil and heat over medium-high heat. Take a spoonful of the beet mixture (it will be very delicate), squeeze it slightly and lay it into the pan to fry. Don't move the beet latkes when placed in the pan until they begin to brown a little around the edges, about 3-5 minutes. Once they begin to darken (if you're not sure, you can peek underneath after a few minutes), flip and cook on the other side 3-5 minutes.
9. While the beet latkes are frying, prepare a plate with paper towels to drain the latkes. Once you've fried all the beet latkes, use a paper towel to carefully wipe out the oil (turn off the heat). Then add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and fry the broccoli latkes, following the same method.
Serve with sour cream or apple sauce (or both!).

Gingerbread Sufganiyot (Hanukkah Doughnuts)
Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah fall on the same day this year. Growing up the child of a divorced, interreligious family, this would have blown my mind even more than it does as an adult. While I was raised primarily in my Jewish mother's home, my brother and I spent every Christmas with my dad, stepmother and half-sister, and we loved it. I mean, loved it. Sure, the extra presents were nice (very nice), but the experience of both holidays was nothing short of warmth.
Now, at 36, as I think back to having to shuffle between houses for holidays, I feel nothing but warmth. I loved lighting the menorah and the smell of the match as it lit a fresh batch of Hanukkah candles. I equally loved the smell of eggnog and the sound of Nat King Cole's classic Christmas record as I helped my dad and family decorate the tree. I never once felt I was compromising my enriched and grounded Jewish identity as I played along with my dad and stepmom in pretending, for the sake of my beloved half-sister, that Santa and his reindeer were, in fact, on the roof trying to figure out how to get down the chimney.
Somehow, my family figured out how to give my brother and me a safe and inviting interreligious experience growing up and never asked us to choose. It was our normal, and it was perfect. I hope this recipe helps you bring some of that warmth into your home.
Gingerbread Sufganiyot
For the doughnuts:
For the filling:
1. Place all doughnut ingredients, except the butter, into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Work on a low speed for about 4 minutes, or until well-combined and elastic.
2. With the mixer still running, add the butter piece by piece, until it's all worked in and incorporated. There should be no visible pieces. This will take about 5-8 minutes.
3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, make the filling. Place the cream, milk, vanilla and gingerbread-spice mixture into a small saucepan over medium heat.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. When the milk begins to bubble around the edges, remove it from the heat and slowly whisk it into the egg mixture.
6. Pour the mixture back into the pan over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook until it boils and becomes very thick, about 1-2 minutes. Once the mixture is the consistency of soft butter, scrape it out into a bowl, cover and set aside to cool completely.
7. When the dough has risen, punch it down and scrape it out onto a well-floured surface. Make sure your hands are properly floured and pat the dough into a rectangle, about ½-inch thick, and cut out nine doughnuts using a well-floured 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter or large glass. Place the doughnuts on a lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 45 minutes, or until puffy.
8. When the doughnuts are finished their second rise, place about 2 inches of oil into a high-sided pan (or use a deep fryer) and heat over a low flame, until it reaches 350 degrees (or until a small piece of dough dropped in the oil bubbles and rises to the surface).
9. Fry the doughnuts a few at a time (don't crowd the pan) for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Drain on paper towels and toss in the ½ cup sugar.
11. To fill the doughnuts, I use a flavor injector, like you would use for a turkey. I find this the easiest way to get the cream in. Alternatively, you can place the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a ¼-inch nozzle. Press the piping bag into the side of each doughnut and squeeze until you can feel the weight of the doughnut increase slightly.

Ponchiki: Polish Cheese Doughnut Holes
There are two stories associated with Hanukkah: One tells how the vial of oil that was supposed to last for one day lasted for eight, and the other is the story of Judith and how she saved her town from annihilation at the hands of General Holefernes by getting him drunk on salty cheese and wine until he passed out and was killed. The latter story is not often told in Hebrew school (for good reason!), but the holiday's culinary tradition of eating foods prepared with cheese is widespread throughout Mediterranean Jewish communities.
Doughnuts, or sufganiot as they are called in Israel, are a Sephardi treat. Ponchiki, however, are traditionally made in Poland and Eastern Europe, the area where Ashkenazi Jews came from. So this recipe not only combines two culinary traditions and two cultural areas of Judaism, it also fulfills the holiday traditions of consuming fried foods and cheese.
1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a one-quart bowl. Set aside.
2. Whisk the egg in a two-quart bowl. Add the sugar and vanilla, continuing to whisk until foamy and well combined.
3. Add the cheese and whisk vigorously to break it down into small particles, thoroughly combining it with the egg mixture.
4. Add the flour mixture and stir with the whisk or a spatula until no particles of flour are visible.
5. Heat the oil in a small, deep fryer or in a two-quart saucepan to a temperature of 375ºF. If necessary, add enough oil to come to a depth of about two inches. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, you'll know the oil is ready when a little bit of dough rolls in the oil and begins to brown.
6. Using a small spring ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon and rubber spatula, scoop up some dough and drop it into the hot oil. Don't fry more than six balls at a time so the oil temperature remains constant. Turn doughnut holes over, if necessary, to brown on all sides. Doughnuts will be done after about three minutes. If holes are browning too fast, lower the heat slightly.
7. Crumple paper towels on a plate to drain the holes of excess oil. While still warm, toss them in confectioner's sugar or in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
They are best eaten warm but will stay crisp for a few hours.
Homemade Farmer's Cheese
Makes about two to three cups.
1. Bring milk and buttermilk to a simmer. Add the salt and continue to cook until the ingredients separate into curds and whey.
2. Scoop up the cheese with a skimmer or small strainer and place in a large double-mesh strainer or colander lined with three layers of cheesecloth. Let the cheese sit so any excess moisture can drip out, then bring the edges of the cloth together and twist them to force out any leftover moisture.
3. Refrigerate the cheese until ready to use in a recipe, or eat with jam on toast.

November 16th, 2005, 03:48 PM #1Someone please explain this one
I have two accounts with LinkShare. They made merge them in order to recover sales at one I did not even knew I had, an old account I did not realize I had.
Anyway, when I log onto LS and enter my username/password, I always have to switch to my second account (and it seems real stupid because both accounts are the same name. What I don't understand is when I switch to the second account, my active account, the Linkshare Logo at the top left disapears and one for Overstock takes its place. Why is that? Anyone else see that?
All I can come up with is at one time I joined Overstock through thier link somehow and they've got some deal with LS that their logo should be there. Been there for years, but I never noticed it until they made me merge accounts.

Thanks, that explains a lot. Still seems stupid they do that since we supposedly have merged all our accounts, but they who really can figure out what the folks at LinkShare are thinking anyway. Maybe this explains why I can't get them to truely merge my accounts. Is there a possibility that Overstock is making a tiny commission off of every one of my sales in that account? Does make one wonder.
Thanks, Haiko.
November 16th, 2005, 04:51 PM #4
I know CJ gives a percentage on recruited affs to merchants, so I'd assume LS does as well. So your merging postulation makes sense ... via a nonsensical branding graphic LOL.
November 16th, 2005, 04:57 PM #5
Can you shed any light on this? I'm really sick and tired of having to switch accounts every time I log in just to see my sales, get links, go to SA, etc. Surely now that I've merged things we can get rid of that initial account (and then maybe delete the Overstock Logo too?).
November 16th, 2005, 06:30 PM #6
We do not pay merchants a commission on the affiliates they recruit into the LS Network through their own site pages.
November 16th, 2005, 08:27 PM #7We do not pay merchants a commission on the affiliates they recruit into the LS Network through their own site pages.
On a side note....
Merchants can set up recruiting campaigns on LinkShare to pay Aff Partners for new partners that sign up through them and achieve specific activation goals.
Though it only counts for people who are totally new to LinkShare and recruited to that specific program, not people already in LinkShare and new to a specific program.

Or should I just drop my LS account and start over (Mr. Messer grinning at this possibility and his options of pushing the rejection button, I'm sure).
I've been asking this for months now. May not seem like a lot, but it's a needless click on my part and it should have been fixed long ago.

Moving to new place can be daunting. Your entire surroundings become different, things look and smell unusual and all the new sounds you hear grab your immediate attention. It takes a while to settle in and feel comfortable. But then one day you realise that the number 10 tram two streets away isn't as noisy as you had once thought. Or that the ever changing graffiti doesn't make you curious anymore. You start to know the opening times of all your new favourite shops and restaurants. You're also meeting new people. A new running partner perhaps, or a group of like minded friends who will go to exhibitions and museums with you. After introductions have been made you start building relationships bit by bit. And then comes the moment where you look around yourself and it hits you: you are no longer the new kid. You're part of the gang, of the city/village. Your new life has become your normal, everyday life.
Now, imagine, that this new place you are moving to is THE WEB! How daunting is that?
I posted my very first blog post back in november 2014 and I felt like I was stepping out onto a huge field filled with a massive amount of people. I wanted them to see me and hear me while they themselves were busy doing the same thing. So much noise. So many people.
Thank you Meredith at KaffeeundKuchen for nominating me for the Sisterhood of World Bloggers Award. It's not an actual award but more a way to introduce yourself to the blog-reading world and then you nominate other bloggers to do the same. Introductions and building relationships. That's what it's all about really. Not feeling so daunted anymore.
Here's what Meredith wanted to know about me:
1. What do you mostly blog about? Baking is my thing.
2. What is the best city you have travelled to and what are your recommended 'must sees' in that city? New York is definitely my favourite city to visit as a tourist. I recommend visiting the Moma, The Frick Collection and the UN building.
3. What 3 items do you always pack on a trip? Apart from my passport and credit card, I always bring a big scarf which serves a multitude op purposes, snacks because you never know when and where you will be stuck/delayed, a paper copy of flight/hotel/car rental confirmations because technology isn't always reliable or available.
4. What is the best meal you've ever had and where did you have it? Last year we visited this place in Stockholm. The menu is blank. You are trusting the chef to make a meal for you based on what local produce he sourced that day. I can't remember exactly what we had the experience was fabulous.
5. Which destination is on your 'must see' list? Why? I would love to visit Hong Kong. I lived there when I was a kid back in the late 80's. I want to see it through adult eyes now.
6. What is your favourite way to spend a free weekend afternoon? With the kids at the Market Village in Neue Heimat.
7. Who would you pick to go on a cross-country road trip with you? Why? My other half P. Just because he is the only person I want to see and experience the entire world with.
8. What are your blogging goals for the coming year? Finding my 'style' and becoming more and more confident.
9. What's your favourite blog post that you've written? I enjoyed this one the most because it made me feel like a teenager again.
10. What's a new blogging skill that you've learned recently? Since blogging is still very new to me, I'm learning so much every week. But the thing I'm currently paying attention to is being more engaging with people through social media and commenting more on other blogs.
Who are you Christie, Cheryl, Angie and Charlotta? And because it's not a girls-only group, who are you Niels and Brian?
1. Dinner or desert? And what would it be?
2. Is blogging a fulltime occupation for you?
3. Why did you decide to blog?
4. How do you like your coffee?
5. I bake and blog about it. What would be the ultimate baking recipe you'd want me to try?
6. What was the last movie you saw that you hated or just didn't get?
7. Did you ever buy something only to regret it the moment you got it home? What was it?
8. As a blogger how do you deal with writer's block/not feeling inspired/stuck on ideas?
9. Do you ever take a break from blogging (you're on holiday, dying with the flu, etc.)
10. How long can you go without checking your blog's Twitter/FB/Instagram/homepage/etc. account and stats?
Some rules:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you and link them in your post.
2. Answer the 10 questions you have been sent.
3. Come up with 10 questions of your own.
4. Spread the love and nominate up to 10 bloggers.

Visited this place during a business tour for four days. My stay was very relaxing and I never felt away from home. Stunning décor of the building was very impressive and the moment I entered the place I was left surprised. I have not expected this much. Food, rooms, services of the staff all were really beyond my expectations. I will definitely recommend this place to my other friends.

Minimalist Zaolbeny Loft
Here is the Minimalist Zaolbeny Loft Design in Praque, Czech Republic. This loft house design by A1 Architects.main residential part of the loft became a major theme of our work, space for privacy are obviously separated, while all other activities from entering the spacious entrance hall with cloakroom takes place continuously over the living room and the kitchen, or open gallery the first floor with part of the guests. To maintain maximum flow of open space and vistas are some of the corners gently arched. Man here is absolutely free and boundary walls and corners in some places subtly lost. Like some of the corners are rounded, so it is also curved wooden staircase with a fireplace and elevated library. Rails is a thin stainless steel net, which provides a sufficient sense of security while maintaining Transparent contact with the whole space.Apartment offers four private bedrooms, one of which is currently used as office owners, all the storage spaces are usually designed as built. Was important for us, in addition to maintaining discreet seamless interconnection of the major parts of the loft, the selection of materials. All materials are pleasant to the touch and are predominantly natural character. The Minimalist Zaolbeny Loft floor consists of large format ceramic tiles in a light cream color, most of the supporting elements of the original wooden roof, we tried to keep visible. Cooking plate is made of black granite and vice versa is facing a line of pale marble, ??contrast them to the table is tailor-made from solid walnut and original lamp of ash veneer. The Minimalist Zaolbeny Loft living area connects to the kitchen warm gray textured coat. The selection of materials for us it was important to their natural aging and overall natural character. Now Look the Minimalist Zaolbeny Loft Design in Praque, Czech Republic with picture below:

The standard argument from the Commercial Banking sector against money creation by elected governments or public authorities such as Central Banks is that Politicians cannot be trusted with money creation. They will be tempted to create more money than they should to buy votes, and this would lead to inflation.
We are supposed to believe that somehow, money creation by Commercial Banks is somehow safer – that bankers could not be tempted to create money just for their own personal benefit.
Both these positions can be dismissed.
For example, in the N-Euro proposal, governments will only use N-Euros to pay for things such as public sector salaries, pensions and benefits that they would normally have had to pay using conventional euros. If needed, the government could introduce an elected body to monitor all money creation using N-Euros to ensure that there was no abuse.
Secondly, the idea that bankers working for commercial banks can be trusted to only create money when it is in the public interest is simply farcical. Banks create money when they think that they can make a profit. And they will tend to inject money into parts of the economy such as mortgages that are not in the general interest because it leads to assets price bubbles that result in house prices increasing so much that few people can afford to get onto the housing ladder.
Who should use the N-Euro system?

This year's study places a particular focus on the growing interest by institutional investors in board composition and performance, highlighting trends in new director recruitment, independent board leadership, tenure and term limits, mandatory retirement, board evaluations and shareholder engagement. Download the PDF now > Among the notable takeaways from this year's proxy analysis: A decline in board turnover: We saw a small decline in the number of new independent directors elected to S&P 500 boards during the 2016 proxy year, from 376 in 2015 to 345 in 2016. More first-time directors: Nearly one-third (32%) of the new independent directors on S&P 500 boards are serving on their first outside corporate board, compared to 26% in 2015. An increase in new female independent directors: Women account for 32% of new independent directors, the highest rate of female representation since 1998 when we began tracking this data for the S&P 500. Last year, 31% of new directors were female. Investors growing as a source of new directors: With the rise of shareholder activism, we've also seen an increase in investors and investment managers on boards. This year, 12% of new independent directors are investors, compared with 4% in 2011 and 6% in 2006. This is the largest percentage of investors since we began tracking this data in 2001. Fewer CEOs serve on outside boards: Only 43% of S&P 500 CEOs serve on one or more outside corporate boards in addition to their own board. In 2006, 55% of CEOs served on at least one outside board. Increased compensation for board members: The average director compensation rose 3% to $285,065.

Your Own Macro Studio2013-03-06 3 37 Share Tweet
Do you want to shoot great macro photos, but the results always look boring? Well, keep on reading. Do not expect that I will show you how to build a real studio, but read on.
To make it easy, I thought i would be great to have an "available-light-studio" with daylight only. Here is the list what you need for great macro shoots:
- a camera
- a macro ring, macro lens or a camera bellows, to make the macro shoots
- a tripod
- a big window
- a reflector
- coloured paper
The light falls through the window onto the motif and reflector, the reflector illuminates the motif to avoid hard shadows.
For better result you can use the coloured paper underneath your motif (all you can see in your viewfinder). With the paper you can increase the atmosphere but also create a contrast.
You do not need to follow any rules, but try to shoot the essential of your motif.
The whole album can be found here.
So have fun to try it out!

With the Infrastructure Investment Plan heading toward final draft, Future of London offers a brief pause to consider the practical aspects of London's rapid growth. Do we densify? If so, where, what might that look like, and how do we do it in a useful timespan? Do we make a decisive push through the Green Belt and GLA borders – we do it with infrastructure; what about housing, governance and funding? If we build more Garden Cities, who will live in them?
These issues are tightly interwoven with infrastructure planning; before tackling the daunting political framework of London's evolving shape, let's consider what densification or expansion offers – and what it risks.
London 2050 – Grow up or grow out? invited decision-makers and innovators from across the capital's public, private and third sector to explore issues, test assumptions and propose solutions. Findings from the day will help guide Future of London seminars, briefings and visits on these topics through the balance of the year.
