Letters to the Editor
Date: May 23, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ Larry Bustle deserves benefits
Dear Editor:
Thank you for your May 10 column, "In defense of Larry Bustle."
Mr. Bustle rightfully deserves the benefits he is entitled to, and I'm proud to say I know Larry.
Shame on Commissioner Robin DiSabatino.
Michael, be the champion for fair and honest reporting.
Lou Marinaccio, Lakewood Ranch
+ Journalistic effort appreciated
Dear Editor:
My congratulations to journalist Michael Eng for his April 26 piece, "The truth … and nothing but," for disclosing the bias regarding the Zimmerman/ Martin tragedy.
His effort in researching and detailing the media trend to cast journalistic objectivity aside and speculate on rumor, unsubstantiated comments and leaked information from "sources who asked not to be named," clearly reveals why major news sources have little credibility. I would hope that the New York Times, ABC, CBS and the other national and local media that rushed to judgment while pandering to the so-called civil rights leaders agenda, might take note of Mr. Eng's example of true journalistic effort — and educate themselves to report on the facts rather than suppositions.
As he quotes in his last paragraph, "We prosecute cases on the relevant facts of each case and of the laws of the state of Florida," not by public pressure or petition.
Bert Giroux, Sarasota

|History of
ALA | Programs | Legal Services | Community
Organizing and Impact Work | Future of ALA | Staff | Location | How You Can Help
In 1975, several of the founding members of the ALA began to investigate the possibility of starting a community law office similar to the Asian Law Caucus which had been founded in Oakland in 1972. Our main challenge was convincing people that there was a significant Asian/Pacific Islander community in need of legal services. Two roadblocks stood in our way. The first was the dearth of research statistics to prove that an identifiable Asian/Pacific community existed. The second was the popular stereotype that Asian-Americans were a "model minority" who did not need social assistance.
We determined that we had to gather evidence to support the contention that the "model minority" stereotype had overshadowed the existence of a sizable Asian Pacific population that did not have access to the legal system. As volunteers, we conducted extensive outreach by speaking with many community leaders, human service providers, and members of the Asian American community itself who needed our services. Staffing the Information and Referral Project that had just been initiated by the San Jose Japanese American Citizens League provided us with a base from which to conduct our research.
We quickly discovered that a silently growing Asian Pacific American community had been developing in several areas of Santa Clara county. Overcrowded conditions in San Francisco and Oakland and the lure of job opportunities in Silicon Valley had brought Asian families and immigrants to the South Bay. Working through the Information and Referral Services of the Japanese American Citizens League, we soon encountered a whole range of legal needs that were not being addressed in this newly growing Asian Pacific American community.
With this evidence in hand, a consensus
was quickly reached among the founding members that it
was necessary to establish a community law office to
provide individual legal assistance, community legal
education, and community advocacy. Office space was
donated by the San Jose JACL and with the help of two
young attorneys, Brad Yamauchi and Don Tamaki, the Asian
Law Alliance began taking its own cases in January 1977.
Over the past 25 years as a nonprofit corporation, the Asian Law Alliance has helped tens of thousands of people in obtaining decent housing, justice in the immigration process, and access to basic human and legal rights.
Today, Asian/Pacific Islanders continue to be denied fundamental rights. ALA continues to keep its doors open for those individuals who are limited in English, who do not understand the legal system, who cannot afford legal fees and who face the reality of discrimination.
ALA programs are designed to make legal services accessible to Asian/Pacific Islanders and low-income people in several ways:
* Delivering services in Asian/Pacific
Islander languages.
Services are provided by staff attorneys, support staff, and volunteers who are multilingual in various Asian languages.
In the past 25 years, ALA has addressed a number of significant issues through its community organizing and educational programs, including:
As we look to the future, we will continue to provide quality legal services for the Asian/Pacific Islander community of Santa Clara County. We realize that the diversifying population which we serve and the technologically flourishing environment in which we operate offer numerous challenges.

December 26, 2000, 8:43 AM — With the formal launch of Windows 2000 last week by the industry's most powerful force, Microsoft, it is conceivable to think that leading members of the Linux OS community might be at least a little edgy. Not Bob Young. As chairman of Red Hat, the leading distributor of Linux, Young remains steadfast in his belief that the momentum his open-source operating system has established will continue unabated despite the media storm that Windows 2000 figures to create. Young sat down with InfoWorld Editor at Large Ed Scannell to discuss the impact Windows 2000 might have, or lack, among users and developers.
InfoWorld: Given its improved enterprise-level features and the marketing muscle expected to back it, does Windows 2000's arrival change the nature of your competitive game with Microsoft?
Young: No, not even a little bit. [Red Hat has] always been up against much better funded competitors in the open-source space all along with Caldera being the best example. We have the market share we do because we have focused on delivering a single unique benefit that the proprietary operating systems vendors aren't prepared to deliver. That benefit is giving users control over the technology we are asking them to invest in through open-source technology.
InfoWorld: But Windows 2000 is reportedly more reliable and more scalable than its predecessors. Doesn't this apply any more pressure to the Linux community?
Young: [Windows 2000] has one major problem that normally [Microsoft] could use as a huge advantage over us, but this time they can't; that's the lack of backward compatibility. If you read Microsoft's own marketing materials, they are very precise about not making assurances that your old Windows applications will run on Windows 2000. Microsoft, to their credit, is trying to move the technology forward by moving off the old DOS architecture, which is a non-sustainable architecture going forward. But the fact that they are doing that means that a lot of applications that were engineered around DOS are going to have problems running on Windows 2000. Anyway, it gives us a wonderful opportunity.
InfoWorld: Are you optimistic that Microsoft will make some of Windows 2000's code open-source?
Young: I suspect they will do some tactical open-source thing. But their real problem in the operating system space is that their whole company is built around this proprietary model. They have a heroin addiction to selling more and more royalties to their operating systems. Guys like [Microsoft President and CEO] Steve Ballmer say the company is going to become more of an Internet services company and you go, 'Yeah sure, he will have to re-engineer the whole company.'

Dogs are creatures of habit, and usually prefer to stick with their current food. But sometimes it's necessary to disrupt the routine, and transition to a new food. Here are some smart strategies for giving your pup a brand new menu without much resistance.
Feeding for Lifestyle or Life Stage
As you change your pet's diet, it's a good time to think about portion sizes. Recommended feeding amounts are shown on every package. The guidelines are general suggestions for the amount of food you should feed your dog. Every dog is different and does not require the same amount of food. Your dog's activity level and individual metabolic makeup are the determining factors. Start with the amount given in the feeding guidelines, then add or subtract food as you observe your dog's eating habits and weight.
This is also a good time to review your current feeding method to make sure it is still appropriate for your dog's new diet. One feeding option is called Portion-Controlled Feeding. To do this, divide the daily amount and feed at specific time intervals. It is important to remove all remaining food after 15 to 20 minutes. This practice establishes a pattern for your dog to follow. The portion-controlled feeding method is recommended for giant and large breeds and also for overweight dogs. This is also a good method for dogs with special needs.
Another option is called Free-Choice Feeding. This requires feeding the daily amount at one time, and allowing your dog to eat at its own pace. This method is recommended for use only with dry foods. Remember, dogs eat to meet their energy requirements. Most dogs will quickly define their own daily portions when eating free choice.
What Every Dog Needs
Regardless of which food you choose to feed, your dog must have plenty of fresh, clean water available at all times. Place the water three to five feet from the food. This will help prevent your dog from gulping water and air in addition to food. Dogs need a routine. Feeding at the same time and place every day establishes a comfortable eating pattern.
And remember, your dog needs to visit the veterinarian regularly. Regular visits help to keep your dog happy and healthy!

Prototype 2 Collector's Edition Detailed
Posted on Wednesday, February 15 @ 10:39:52 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I still haven't played the original Prototype. I haven't even finished inFAMOUS. The two open-world super-power games seemed to have heavily rivaled each other at launch. Now Prototype 2 is on the way and I'm wondering if I need to catch up on what's happening.
It might be easier to pick up the Collector's Edition, since Prototype 2's Digital Dark Horse Comic will probably catch me up on everything happening in that world. Wondering what else you'll pick up with the Collector's Edition? Check out the announcement trailer above.

VICTORIA, BC – It's been almost 20 years, but the wait is over for hockey fans on Vancouver Island. The WHL will return to the City of Victoria next season, the Western Hockey League and RG Properties Ltd. announced today.
The WHL Board of Governors has approved the sale of the WHL franchise in Chilliwack and its relocation to Victoria effective starting with the 2011-12 season. Graham Lee, whose company RG Properties developed, built and operates the 7,000-seat Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, has purchased the franchise and will move the WHL franchise to the B.C. capital for the start of next season.
"We are very excited to bring WHL hockey back to Victoria," said Lee. "From the day we first got involved with this building over a decade ago, our goal has been to look at all opportunities that will bring excitement and entertainment to the city as well as providing economic benefits. Bringing a WHL team to Victoria exemplifies that commitment."
"We are very pleased to be in a position to announce the WHL will be returning to the City of Victoria and Vancouver Island next season," commented WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. "Although any relocation is a difficult process, we know the Victoria market will be a great addition to the WHL."
"The WHL is a part of Canadian hockey culture. The league is all about community, and our focus with the team is all about being a strong partner in the community," said Dave Dakers, President of RG Sports and Entertainment. "Vancouver Island's top young players will now have the chance to play at the highest level right here at home in front of a hometown crowd."
"It is exciting to have a WHL team back in the Capital City. It is an opportunity to be part of building the future of hockey," said Mayor of Victoria, Dean Fortin. "Our new team will greatly add to the diverse and family-friendly entertainment that makes our city great."
The WHL is the premier junior hockey development league in the country and had more players drafted in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft than any other League in the world, with 43 players selected in all and seven selected in the first round.
The B.C. capital was home to a WHL franchise for 23 seasons from 1971 to 1994. During that period, Victoria's WHL teams produced over 50 NHL players including well-known stars such as Geoff and Russ Courtnall, Grant Fuhr, Mel Bridgeman and Greg Adams, just to name a few. The WHL Victoria Cougars franchise was relocated to Prince George in 1994.
"It's going to be great to see local kids in WHL uniforms on the Island! I think we'll see bigger crowds, there is more of a local appetite for this brand of hockey. That should also give a boost to local businesses to get behind the team," said John Tinker, President and Owner of Big Stake Ventures and Victoria Keg Steakhouses.
About the WHL
Western Hockey League (WHL) is the largest major junior hockey league in the world today with 22 member Clubs throughout Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The WHL attracts over 4 million spectators each season to regular season and playoff games and is a world leader in player development and scholarship opportunities. Each season the WHL is one of the top leagues from which players are selected from in the NHL Entry Draft. Currently over 20% of all NHL players are graduates of the WHL. The WHL is also a leading provider of post-secondary scholarships with over 400 scholarships awarded each year to current and graduate WHL players, more than any other league in North America. The WHL is a member of the Canadian Hockey League (together with the Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) which consists of 60 member clubs from coast to coast in Canada and the northern United States.
About RG Properties Ltd.
RG Properties Ltd. is a diversified real estate development company with hotel and arena developments and operations, shopping centre holdings, industrial property holdings, residential developments and community rink developments and operations through its Planet Ice brand. It also owns and operates Boomers Sports Grills, Mission Fitness, Selectyourtickets.com and Officepools.com, the world's largest online hockey pool management provider.

(WQLR) – For most players in the NBA, the All-Star break is a time for relaxation and a few days away from the game of basketball. The All-Star break falls after the half way mark of the season and especially for young players, it's a great time for them to regroup in preparation for the final stretch run of games. But for Pistons' Brandon Knight and Andre Drummond, they won't be spending much time away from basketball during the break.
Knight and Drummond will be competing against each other in BBVA Rising Stars game, held on Friday Feb. 15. 20 first and second year players were chosen Thursday night by two former NBA players, now TNT basketball analysts, Charles Barkley (Team Barkley) or by Shaquille O'Neal (Team Shaq) to compete in the annual game featuring some of the NBA's newest and brightest stars. Knight was picked by Team Barkley, while Drummond was selected to play for Team Shaq.
This will be the second time Knight has participated in the Rising Stars game. Last year Knight was on Team Shaq, along with fellow Piston teammate Greg Monroe. Team Shaq won the game 146-133.
For Knight the weekend will be extra busy as he will also partake in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge on Saturday Feb. 16, the day before the All-Star Game. Knight will compete against Jrue Holiday of the Philadelphia 76ers, Jeff Teague of the Atlanta Hawks, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs (the defending skills champ), Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers and Jeremy Lin of the Houston Rockets.

Sky Sports understands Leyton Orient ace Moses Odubajo has agreed a new deal at the club.
The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young talents outside the top two divisions.
Odubajo's performances for Orient have not gone unnoticed with a number of clubs higher up the football pyramid tracking his progress.
The versatile performer, who can play as a winger or in defence, was due to be out of contract at the end of the season after signing a one-year deal last summer
However, Orient have now moved to fend off any interest in Odubajo by offering him a new two-year deal.

MobileTechRoundup show #222; Nokia N8, G2, WP7, and Android
Summary: We spent over an hour talking about some new devices and a new operating system in Windows Phone 7. There is a lot going on in the mobile space as holiday buying season kicks in.

New devices are coming out in time for the holidays and to kick off MobileTechRoundup show #222 Kevin and I talked about our experiences with the Nokia N8. I received a G2 to check out right before the show and Kevin has one too so we gave some impressions. Windows Phone 7 was launched last week and Android stole the show at CTIA. Will Verizon get an iPhone? James also has a dual-boot Windows 7/Android device, but it seems there really isn't much of a place for such a beast.

You can also research public companies in your industry. Chances are it is going to be much more discounted and in your favor. It is very difficult to figure out a realistic evaluation in this market. It is a completely different market from 2008.

We love to entertain friends with Themed Summer Barbeques. Theming parties makes planning easy. All summer long, we'll be featuring monthly themed barbecue ideas. With Memorial Day around the corner, our first theme is a Patriotic BBQ. For a fast and easy main course, nothing is more American than a burger bar.
The Burger Bar for Everyone
What is a burger bar? A burger bar is a buffet style toppings and condiment bar. Your guests grab a plate, choose their favorite bun, cheese and toppings and head to the grill, where they pick the meat or veggie of their choices. Grill meat burgers, turkey burgers and portobello mushroom caps.
If you've never tried a grilled portobello burger, this recipe may turn you into a veggie lover. Following our recipe, we'll list our favorite burger bar toppings.
Grilled Portobello Burger
- Portobello Mushroom Caps
- Olive Oil
- Salt (we prefer Kosher Salt)
- Goat Cheese
- Sliced Tomato
- Arugula
- Basil or Garlic mayo
- Bun (Brioche rolls are best, but Egg Twists or other soft buns work great)
- Prepare the basil mayonnaise. CD Timesaver: Use regular mayonnaise mixed with a little garlic herb cheese spread such as Boursin in place of the basil or garlic mayo.
- Brush portobello caps with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill 5-7 minutes per side.
- Brush the mayo mixture on the bun. Layer the arugula, tomato, portobello, goat cheese. The warm portobello will melt the goat cheese.
Burger Bar Toppings:
- Assorted Cheeses: Sliced Cheddar, Boursin, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Goat Cheese, American
- Sautéed Onions
- Sautéed Mushrooms
- Cooked Bacon Slices (we prefer hickory smoked)
- Lettuce, Tomato, Raw Red Onion, Roasted Peppers, Avocado
- Ketchup, Mustard, Basil or Garlic Mayo
- Assorted Rolls (Brioche or Egg Twists, Onion Rolls, Classic Hamburger Buns)
Optional: Create a burger bar menu like the one pictured in our post. Design in your word processing program using the font of your choice, print out on plain or decorative paper and use glue stick to mount onto card stock .
CD Note: We've listed some of our favorite Burger Bar combos in the Burger Bar Menu. Sound good? Save the Burger Bar to My Creative Dish and look for more entertainment ideas for a Patriotic barbeque coming later in the week.

Alister McGrath on Dawkins
Science is provisional knowledge; it changes almost daily. We never know with certainty most data because new measurements may bring to light additional knowledge presently not available. Thus, science never has last say even in its own fields. Science is proving what we believe today to be true, to be false tomorrow, and we call it progress. That is how science works, and it works very well.. Science is "universal experience now." Universal, because any data supporting a particular position must be able to be duplicated by others. It must be reproducible. Experience, because it must take place in space and time; within our experiences. Now, because measurements take place in the present. We cannot measure yesterday nor tomorrow, but today only. All this to say that, science speaks to the here and now, and says nothing about that which is outside its jurisdiction. True, we can postulate all sorts of possibilities concerning the existence of God, or lack of, but science can only speak to what it can measure. And although it can collect data to support or reject the hypothesis of a particluar theory, it then requires a "jury" to decide the circumstantial evidences collected. Bear in mind that juries review the residue of past events, they do not review present data. They can be wrong. However, it might be important to note that science can actually "prove" something: it can prove that one event is more likely to occur than another. Probability theory is useful here. And if one uses logical inferences pertaining to our world and its operations, using both information theory and its partial offspring, the New Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics, one should be able to easily see that a super intellect had to have been involved in all that we see and measure. Indeed, the NGSL demands that the intellect not only be greater in 'information' than the totality of the entire universe itself, but it must transcend it. And that, in itself, is the kiss of death to any materialistic philosophy that wishes to assert itself against a theistic philosophy. One can disbelieve the statement, "In the beginning, God ..." but not using the mind he gave them!
Unfortunately, looks like it's not yet available. I know they're planning to offer it.
Is there a way to access the audio of this debate online?? Thanks.

Brought onto the market in the mid of 2011, theRange Rover Evoque shortly became one of the most successful models offered by Land Rover . So, as no surprise, the company will try to diversify the list of versions offered and after the previously rumored Grand Evoque andEvoque Cabrio , new details suggest that the company will also be offering a Sport version for the SUV.
In an interview with the British magazine AutoExpress, design director Gerry McGovern has suggested that such a model is being considered. Could this be a reaction to the recently announced Audi RS Q3 concept? We are not sure, but we really like the idea of seeing a sporty Evoque out there.
As for the engines to be used in the new models, rumors are talking about an updated version of the current 240bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, tuned to deliver more than 300 HP. But a 2.2-litre SD4 engine will also be offered for the diesel fans out there, also with an output increased from the current 190 HP to at least 210 HP.
However, do not get to excited, the Range Rover Evoque Sport will make its debut late in 2013.

While were chilling enjoying the view this couple came up the trail said hi and got on their Harley to ride away. Well for some reason the lady was the one driving(We overheard her say she had never driven a HArley before) and the guy was on the back. So Popi grabbed me(should have moved the bike too) and we stood back to make sure we were safe.
Next thing we know,this lady revs the bike,pops the clutch and JUMPS OVER THE CURB ONTO TROLLY THE TRAILER!!!!
What a scary ass thing to have happen. We stood there stunned.
The people got the Harley up then the guy tried to take off! Telling the lady to get on the bike. The Harley won't start and Popi was telling the guy that he was calling the cops. The guy gets off the HArley,tells Popi" Ant no cops coming up here,I"m with 'HA'" At first Popi did not know what he meant,then after he knew he really did not believe this guy was Hells Angels cause he was not wearing colors. Just some dirtbag outlaw biker.
So finally Popi tells the guy that he better make it all right somehow. So the guy reaches in his pockets and come up with 100 bucks. Popi tells him that the Trailer is Prob ruined and that 100 bucks was not gonna cut it.
What happened next was shocking to say the least. He looks at us and says " The broads got some pussy and some weed.I'm sure we can work something out" OMG. WOW
At this point Popi is realizing that this guy could just cut our necks and just leave. So we got some weed from the lady and the 100 bucks.
Then they took off real fast. Leaving us to figure out if Trolly was gonna even be able to get to Santa Cruz.
We also had a slight tear developing on the bed of Trolly where the axle is rubbing. We fixed that with duck tape. Good as new!

The significant advantages of passing over running have been demonstrated repeatedly — by some teams — in the years since the 1980s coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Bill Walsh, cranked up his West Coast offense. It was Walsh who first found that a pass offense, properly organized and supervised, can be as safe as a running-play offense and more effective. That finally convinced some, at least, of the numerous football coaches who had been overrating interceptions and sacks.
Longtime writer Bob Oates shares his commentary on the NFL.
- In NFL, Passing Pays Off
National Football League
Weekly Schedule
AP Wire
Standings: NFL | Wild Card
Teams | Players
Transactions | Injuries
In yesterday's column, two advantages of passing were outlined:
First, in the game-opening race for the lead (which can sometimes last most of the first half), passing decisively beats running.
Second, passing teams are superior in a companion offensive challenge — the science of coming from behind.
In today's chapter, the focus is on some of the other reasons why football is most artistically and most successfully played by passing teams.
Nullifying Emotion
It isn't emotion but talent that prevails on pass plays. This contradicts an earlier NFL holding that the emotional factor ranks as about one-third of football — along with talent and intelligence.
Vince Lombardi and other 20th century coaches regularly maintained that playing hard is as helpful as playing properly. By contrast, today, passing enthusiasts don't consider emotion to be a key.
They point out that pass-offense players specialize in hand-eye coordination and intellectual acuity. Thus — by comparison with running-play players — passers and receivers can be successful regardless of their emotional state. They have recurrently shown they can make yards and points and winning plays against even the best defensive players who are psychologically charged up.
The decisive elements in effective pass offense are timing, recognition of defensive patterns, mental adjustments on the fly, and the ability to perform refined physical skills under pressure. None of this requires excess emotion.
On carefully rehearsed, closely timed passes, the game's many gifted receivers and passers simply bypass the hordes of eager, revved-up defensive players. What this means is that a sound passing team can continue to play well through the long season despite every team's inevitable peaks and valleys emotionally.
Brawn vs. Brains
Running teams carry a competitive burden that decreases their chances to succeed on game day — a burden that can be summed up in a phrase: comparative proficiency. Running teams can only count on running against teams they physically outman.
Most running teams (the Pittsburgh Steelers, as an instance, or the Baltimore Ravens) favor straight power football. They run the same handful of plays over and over. Facing them, defensive players know in detail what's coming.
The only way for such a rushing offense to succeed, most noticeably early in the game when the defense is psyched, or late in a close game when everybody is psyched, is to field superior players — athletes who are bigger, stronger, and better-drilled.
Passing teams, by contrast, can succeed even against better athletes — winning with superior tactics, timing, variety, and the element of surprise.
This relative effectiveness of passing versus running is proved every year when two or three running teams win their way through the regular season — beating up on physically inferior opponents — only to lose playoff games to smarter and more capable teams. In a case example, the bruising Pittsburgh Steelers walloped most opponents last year before New England's passing team took them apart and down.

In The Simpsons, in the episode "The Regina Monologues", Homer Simpson meets his half-sister Abbie- conceived during Grampa's time in Britain during the Second World War- for the first time and seems to display a sexual attraction to her, despite, or maybe because of, the fact that Abbie looks very much like a female version of himself.posted by OmieWise at 4:11 PM on January 12, 2008
It has been suggested that MHC plays a role in the selection of potential mates, via olfaction. MHC genes make molecules that enable the immune system to recognise invaders; generally, the more diverse the MHC genes of the parents, the stronger the immune system of the offspring. It would obviously be beneficial, therefore, to have evolved systems of recognizing individuals with different MHC genes and preferentially selecting them to breed with.Twins are as genetically similar as you can get, so their MHCs should be identical or at least very similar, depending on whether they were identical or fraternal twins.
Yamazaki et al. (1976) showed this to be the case for male mice, who show such a preference for females of different MHC. Similar results have been obtained with fish.

Mediterranean Food has just been named to the KitchenAid Cookbook Hall of Fame
Here, together in one volume, are three culinary classics (Mediterranean Food, French Country Cooking, and Summer Cooking) from England's most famous food writer, who has inspired and influenced a whole generation of cooks. Elizabeth David, as James Beard points out in his forward, was a leader, ahead of her time who shook her readers out of their culinary rut, challenging them to explore a different world of food. Today, some of the foods she introduced to the english-speaking world have become household words, like gazpacho and pesto, but Mrs. David was the first to discover these treasures, and her recipes are still the best.
Mrs David lived in France, Italy, Greece and Egypt, learning to master the local dishes, obtaining all her information firsthand. She had an unerring palate, an instinct for everything rational, wholesome, and genuine in cooking, and a gift for evoking the color, the lore, and magic not only of the sun-drenched Mediterranean but also of the lovely, honest dishes of her own country. Here are hundreds of marvelous recipes and ideas for preparing simple foods in exciting ways.
Mediterranean Food, French Country Cooking and Summer Food are permeated with Elizabeth David's wonderful authority, her sense of being there, her way of taking the reader into her confidence rather than spelling everything out, of sharing delightful tidbits about Gertrude Stein, Julius Caesar, or fellow travelers. As Mr. Beard also wrote, Elizabeth David had the rare gift of stimulating the imagination in both the mind and the mouth and making you want to head straight for the kitchen.
More than two million copies of Mrs David's books have been sold. She won the Glenfiddich Writer of the Year Award for English Bread and Yeast Cookery, in 1977, was named Chevalier of the French Ordre du Merite Agricole in 1977, made an honorary doctor of the University of Essex in 1979, elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1982, Awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1986, and inducted into the James Beard Hall of Fame in 1995. Born December 26, 1913, she died in London, May 22, 1992.

Predators Stumble, Lose to Jackets in a SO 3-2
theviewfrom111 | Jan 20, 2013 | Comments 0
The Nashville Predators lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Bridgestone Arena in a shootout by a 3-2 score. Several aspects of this game stand out:
The lack of high end scoring continues to plague the Predators offensively. The top line of Mike Fisher, Sergei Kostitsyn, and Marty Erat scored one goal, on the first shot of the game by Erat. He wired a shot over the glove of Blue Jacket netminder Sergei Bobrovsky. Unfortunately, this was Erat's only shot of the game. Fisher recorded three shots on goal; Kostitsyn did not have a shot on net (he did have two assists). This is usually a formula for trouble for the Predators, and tonight, it bit them. Four shots from the top line and precious few quality chances will not usually lead to success.
Roman Josi was solid, logging 27:30 in ice time and was even on the night in plus/minus. Josi seemed to handle the workload with ease and was rarely caught out of position. He looked comfortable and meshed well with Shea Weber.
The Predators got sloppy with the puck in the second period and it cost them. Artem Anisimov worked past Paul Gaustad and tied the game with a sweet backhand over Pekka Rinne's glove. Anisimov is a good add for the Jackets, coming over in the trade for Rick Nash from the Rangers. The Predators lack of puck possession gave the Jackets a lot of zone time and created some good chances. Anisimov made the Predators pay for some loose play with the puck.
Scott Hannan played well on the second D pairing with Kevin Klein. I like the fact that Hannan jumped in after a questionable hit on Klein and dropped the gloves. Hannan is not spectacular, but he was positionally sound and will log some quality minutes this season.
David Legwand continues to be invisible. For a second line center to record no shots on goal and never threaten offensively is beyond words.
This abbreviated season is going to be a sprint to the playoffs. No team will be afforded the luxury of time to get their game to a high level. For the Predators, the game against the Jackets should point out the fact that this team is going to have to bring their best game every night. It is imperative that the Predators play their style of hockey if they are going to be successful: shooting the puck and getting the dirty goals.
Most importantly for the Predators, the guys that are being counted on to contribute are going to have to contribute. The top two lines have to generate more chances and the team has to have more jam to their game. Own the puck and create chances.
Fail to do that, and this short season will be a long season

Meh. The omelet has an odd consistency (sort of spongy) due to the flour, and the large amount of caramelized onions gave it a sweetish taste. I was hoping for a more savory taste, and even added extra fresh herbs (rosemary, basil, jalapeno). The salad was good, but anything sprinkled with goat cheese is good! Overall, this was a fairly disappointing dish. I won't make it again.

Ghost in the Shell: ARISE
Nowadays it takes something of pretty significant importance for me to post on LoLyfe.com. Today, one of those pretty significant things has happened…
Production I.G surprised fans in January with the announcement of a new Ghost in the Shell project. We were to wait by our persocom's for further news… Then on Tuesday I saw this via the GITS Channel on YouTube. There isn't much in the trailer that needs translating but the basics are that this is a prequel. It's a four part mini-series. The first instalment is to be released on June 22 in Japanese cinemas with a Blu-ray and DVD version following closely behind on July 26. Subsequent episodes will be released after that but no dates (at this point) have been leaked.
The storyline is unavoidably the origin story of the lead protagonist of the series, Motoko Kusanagi. Geek food for this comes in the form of the voice actor that spoke the last line in the original Ghost in the Shell film, where Kusanagi is placed into the cyborg body of a young girl, will be handling the voice tasks for this series.
More news will undoubtedly follow and I will be following with extreme prejudice. Stay tuned…

Gloves That Work With Touchscreen?
Anyone knows that in the winter-time it can be a a real pain in the butt getting your smartphone or portable touchscreen device to work when you have gloves on. Fiddling about with one glove in your mouth, the other under your armpit just so you can send a text?
Fingerless gloves are my solution – but the drawback is cold fingers. Another solution I have seen is a fingerless glove/mitten mash-up – pretty clever. But now there is something new, something that will make all the hassle go away.. it's a liquid?
A company in Japan called Onsight has released a revolutionary product that by adding a few drops to the fingertips of the glove makes them touchscreen friendly.
The product is called Tebu-Touch (tebu coming from "tebukuro," the Japanese word for gloves), and Onsight explain that, "Although the liquid may create the sensation that your touch screen has moisture upon it, the liquid will not damage the screen in any way."

Pocky Beats iPhone5 in Tweet Record
November 11th was Pocky & Pretz Day. Didn't know? Me neither but if I had of known I would certainly have participated.
The task was to enter the Guinness World Records with the most tweets containing the name "Pocky" — the heading it would be seen in the book would be under the "The Brand Name Most Tweeted in 24 Hours" previously held by iPhone5 with 1.08 million tweets on its release day.
Glico's Pocky chocolate snack beat the record hands down with 1,843,733 tweets.

Evangelion 4 Gets Title
The fourth (and final) instalment of the Evangelion Movie franchise seems to have it's title. Saturday saw the theatrical release of Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (Evangelion Shin Gekijō-ban Q) in Japan and a leaflet that was handed out with the ticket suggested that the last film in the Gainax reboot/redo/rehash of the series would be named: Shin Evangelion Gekijō-ban 𝄇 (シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版𝄇). The translation of which won't make any sense to English speaking viewers as they did not directly translate the film titles in the first place. The first three films sub-texts are taken from the three classical music movements (Jo-Ha-Kyū or Introduction-Exposition-Climax) of traditional Japanese music such as gagaku and Noh. This fourth title has a symbol at the end denoting the repetition after reaching the end of a measure. I have no clue what any of this means and as stated above. it doesn't really matter as the English film titles have nothing to do with their original counterparts. Still, it's worth knowing I suppose…

Autumn Anime Watchlist
Autumn is upon us and here at the LoLyfe Towers it means an abject abundance of anime awesomeness. The darkness that hangs over the rooftops here for pretty much the whole of the day, lasts until springtime but that doesn't necessarily mean it's all doom and gloom — no — This autumn promises some great anime titles, some unusual, some familiar reworks and some that, well, are better left well alone – but either way, there's a lot on the way. Below are my own personal highlights which probably won't hold to the core of anime fans out there but personal taste is what it is…
I'll come back to this post in November to give my first impressions but until then, sit back and enjoy your autumn delights…

Tsunami Harely to be preserved at Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee
At the beginning of this month, a 2004 Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Night Train washed up on the shores of Graham Island, British Columbia. What made this remarkable was that it was owned by Ikuo Yokoyama, who lives in Japan. The bike was washed out to sea amidst the tsunami that hit Japan back in March 2011.
Canadian Peter Mark discovered the Harley at low tide more than a year after the disaster, along with some other contents of a cargo container and it made headlines the world over. Now, after Harley-Davidson have offered to repatriate the bike, Yokoyama has politely declined and requested the bike be preserved in the Harley-Davidson Museum in honour of those who lost their lives or have been forever changed by the disaster.
Yokoyama is still trying to piece together his life after the tragic event and is currently in temporary housing in Miyagi Prefecture.
"It is truly amazing that my Harley-Davidson motorcycle was recovered in Canada after drifting for more than a year," Yokoyama said, "I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation to Peter Mark, the finder of my motorcycle. Due to circumstances caused by the disaster, I have been so far unable to visit him in Canada to convey my gratitude.
"Since the motorcycle was recovered, I have discussed with many people about what to do with it. I would be delighted if it could be preserved in its current condition and exhibited to the many visitors to the Harley-Davidson Museum as a memorial to a tragedy that claimed thousands of lives. I am very grateful to Harley-Davidson for offering me an opportunity to visit the museum, and I would like to do that when things have calmed down. At the same time, I would like to meet Peter, who recovered my motorcycle, to express my gratitude. Finally, I would like to thank all people around the world once again for their wholehearted support of the areas hit by the earthquake and Tsunami. I would like to ask them to help convey messages from the Japanese people about the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which was a disaster of historic proportions."
A truly remarkable sentiment, I think…

And Now Fan Bing Bing for Iron Man 3?
The rumour mill is at work again with yet another Chinese name being added to the running for the next instalment of the Marvel Studios(read Disney)/DMG Entertainment co-production of Iron Man 3.
Earlier this year, Fan Bingbing (pictured) was touted as saying that she wanted to make the move towards Hollywood. This could be her opportunity as the list of Marvel Comics films are gaining strength with every release. With the draw that Downey Jr. and co brought in for Avengers, then you can expect that the third of the Iron Man films could easily do similar business. With this in mind, Bing Bing's management would surely be champing at the bit to get her on board.
Nothing is written in stone as yet, but with other names such as Andy Lau, Yao Chen and Liu Ye in the mix, it looks like the producers have a keen eye for the talent that is to be involved.
Trailer for Soi Cheang's Motorway

Kurosawa's Throne of Blood + ScreenTalk with Yukio Ninagawa
Barbican Film is showing the magnificent Akira Kurosawa adaptation of Macbeth in June. Hosted Japanese film specialist Tony Rayns with a ScreenTalk by Yukio Ninagawa.
Kurosawa's 1957 epic stands tall among his films and is one of my own personal favourites. Starring Toshirō Mifune, Isuzu Yamada and Takashi Shimura, Throne of Blood (Kumonosu-jō) sees the Bard's tale of spooky apparitions and unbridled guilt transferred to medieval Japan where the famous tale of treachery and murder are expertly etched into celluloid to tickle our tastebuds.

Review: Punished (2011)
I have just gotten around to watching Punished, the Johnnie To produced kidnap thriller starring Anthony Wong, Richie Jen and Maggie Cheung.
A top notch cast show their chops with this gritty tale of a kidnap and ransom gone wrong. Wong shows that he is still box office draw with a great performance as a real estate developer Wong Ho Chiu, whose wayward daughter is kidnapped for a hefty HKD$50 Million pay off. Chiu entrusts his loyal bodyguard Yiu Kai Chor (Richie Jen) to track down and take out each of the perpetrators involved in the botched kidnapping but he has to live with his decisions as Yiu keeps him appraised every step of the way.

Review: Chinatown Kid (1977)
Set first in Hong Kong and then in San Francisco Chinatown, this Shaw Brothers classic pits studio favourite Alexander Fu Sheng against the Venom Mob.
Fu Sheng plays Tan Tung, an illegal immigrant to Hong Kong where is tries to find work to help his Grandfather. His unlucky streak starts after he saves a young girl from a prostitution ring and ends up fighting the local gangs. The gang leader frames him on a drugs charge and he has to flee Hong Kong for San Francisco. Here his luck carries on as he ends up fighting the local gangs again.
One of the better contemporary films to come out of Shaw Brothers Studios. Although the seventies look to the film has its moments. There's a great scene where Tan Tung gazes longingly at a digital watch in a jeweller's window, which is to become a theme through the movie . where if you own a digital watch then you've somehow 'made it'.
The comedy still holds up to a certain extent and the fight scenes are of a typically good standard, although they are quite bloody and violent depending on which version of the film you watch. The added gun play (unusual for a Shaw Brothers film) adds to the Americanisation of the film but doesn't detract from it's genre roots.
