It's very rare that I make, eat, photograph and blog about a recipe all in the same day. In fact I've only done it about 3 times since I've been blogging. But this morning I made Banana Buns that I saw on No Onions a couple months back. All I can say is YUM!
I didn't follow her recipe exactly, since it's more of a concept and you don't have to be so exact. 4 B's- Biscuits. Butter. Brown Sugar. Banana. I added a little cinnamon and chopped pecans then brushed the biscuits with a little more butter and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar. I also used Grands Buttermilk biscuits rather than the smaller ones, but use what you like or have on hand. Oh and I sprayed the pan with non stick spray so they didn't stick.
The result was an upside down nutty, caramelly, banana bun perfect for lazy weekends and for company. The butter, brown sugar and cinnamon melted down and made a lovely syrup on the buns once turned out of the pan. The bananas got soft and the pecans were crunchy while the biscuit rose beautifully and was fluffy but sturdy enough to hold up all the goodies on top. They were like individual gooey banana breads. I loved these and look forward to making them again. Next time I might try them with blueberries or diced peaches.
Banana Pecan Butter Buns
makes 8 buns
- 8 (1 tube) Grands Buttermilk Biscuits
- 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, cut into 8 equal pats
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or 16 pecan halves (2 per bun)
- 1-2 bananas cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 teaspoons packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted (optional)
- cinnamon sugar (optional)
- nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray your muffin tins and get ready to layer ingredients.
Place 1/2 Tablespoon or two of the 8 butter pats into each muffin cup. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the butter, then place 3-4 banana slices over the pecans. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon over bananas. Top with biscuit and press into muffin tin. Brush each biscuit with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 18 minutes or until golden and puffed. Allow to cool for a couple minutes before turning out onto a plate.
NOTE: The Grands biscuits are a little large but if you compress them with your hands around the edges of the biscuit as if you're shaping a patty it will fill the muffin tin perfectly. I like these as oppose to the smaller ones because they bake up taller and more muffin like.
One medium banana is enough for about 5 buns.

Waller, 24, is a native of Oakland, California, and now lives in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. She moved to New York to attend Sarah Lawrence University, where she graduated in 2009.
Although Waller knew she wanted to be an activist before she left her home state, it was in college that she learned the area of work she wanted to focus on.
"For me, the ultimate goal of anything I do is to end oppression," she said. "It's about empowering people to lift one another up to make change."
In college she started "to see the prison system as a direct descendent of slavery and a way of controlling and oppressing people of color," Waller said.
In addition to interning with a civil rights lawyer near City Hall in Manhattan, Waller works with the New York branch of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression. The organization works on behalf of victims of government entrapment. She is also involved in anti-war and other anti-racism activism, Waller said.
For example, Waller said she fights for Muslims and Midwestern political activists who have been wrongfully targeted by the FBI for supporting terrorism.
Waller sings about her activism work in a few songs performed by her band, The Brooklyn Blues Project, which was formed in April.
"It was funny," she said. "The first couple of months we only had gigs in Manhattan, and everyone was like 'when are you coming to Brooklyn?'"
Waller said the Brooklyn leg of the BBP tour is coming up, but the next shows are at Banjo Jim's at 538 East 14th Street on Thursday, August 4, and Otto's Shrunken Head at 538 East 14th Street on Friday, August 5, in Manhattan.

I like to think I'm somewhat on top of the different types of accessories and props needed in yoga. I am a yoga teacher, after all. But somehow, I missed out on ToeSox, until recently. It seems that the ToeSox company along with their yoga model Kathryn Budig are right in the middle of a heated debate over the placement of controversial ads in the September issue of Yoga Journal. The ads have grabbed a lot of attention and have shocked some yogis right out of their socks.
Everyone is talking about the ToeSox ads after Judith Lasater, one of the Yoga Journal original founders, publicly criticized Yoga Journal for running the ad campaign in a letter to the editor. Lasater's acclaim and accomplishments in the field of teaching yoga are deep, wide and strong. Being one of the Yoga Journal original founders as well as the author of eight books (the most recent being "What We Say Matters"), Lasater teaches countless workshops, trainings and classes. Lasater, clearly, let her feelings be known publicly in her letter to the Yoga Journal editor. She writes:
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
I am confused because I do not understand how photos of naked or half-naked women are connected with the sale of practice products for asana, an important part of yoga. These pictures do not teach the viewer about yoga practice or themselves. They aren't even about the celebration of the beauty of the human body or the beauty of the poses, which I support.
There are, of course, two sides to every story.
There's the Kathryn Budig, (an up and coming yoga star) side for starters. However, the issue isn't with Budig, exactly, it's with the ToeSox ad where she's wearing…well…nothing…except ToeSox. Actually, there are several ads, all of Budig, all in complex yoga poses wearing only the ToeSox.
Now, Budig didn't just arrive on the yoga scene yesterday. She's quite accomplished and has been featured in and works regularly with Yoga Journal. She writes for The Huffington Post and The Elephant Journal. She's a sought after yoga teacher, leads yoga teacher trainings through Yoga Posers and is co-founder with Jesse Schein of Poses for Paws an organization dedicated to raising money for animal shelters through yoga.
The ToeSox company is in the Budig corner and they are sticking with the "this is ART, people" mantra. It is, after all, THEIR advertising campaign. I mean, you'd hope they would stick by Budig. They left a thorough rebuttal to Lasater's letter on their Facebook page.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a three-ring philosophical circus with opinions flying left and right.
It's a rough topic of conversation. Are we selling out or possibly more importantly, are our go to resources selling out? Is it all about the almighty bottom line? Sex does, after all, sell. What, exactly are we doing here?
Maybe Yoga Darla got it right from over at Darla Teaches Yoga. She said, "We don't need sex to sell yoga. But apparently we need sex to sell silly yoga products. Maybe Yoga Journal will be off my renew list this time. It's become less about yoga and more about "yoga cool"."
I'm not saying one side is right and the other is wrong. In fact, the only thing I'm sure of is those photos have been photoshopped. I mean, look at her… no one can be THAT perfect….sigh…right???

Comment period for Newlands report extended
The Bureau of Reclamation announced today an extension for public review and comment period on the Newlands Project Planning Study Draft Special Report from the original date of Feb. 14 to Feb. 28. The Draft Special Report presents alternatives to satisfy Newlands Project water rights and reduce risks to public safety from the Truckee Canal. Reclamation held three public meetings in January to discuss the Draft Special Report.
The Study was initiated as a result of a January 2008 breach of the Truckee Canal that flooded 590 properties in the city of Fernley, Nev., and led to restrictions on the amount of water the canal may convey. The Study is Reclamation's effort to investigate options for safely satisfying Project water rights, and the report will help guide decisions about the Project's future.
During the meetings, Reclamation presented key findings in the Draft Special Report, described the process to develop alternatives and received public feedback on the report and its conclusions. The Draft Special Report includes seven alternatives for safely serving people, communities and lands that rely on Truckee River or Carson River water delivered by the Project.
The Draft Special Report is available online at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/lbao/newlands.html. If you encounter problems accessing the document online, please call 916-978-5100 or email email@example.com.
Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, and should be sent to Harvey Edwards, Bureau of Reclamation, 705 N. Plaza Street, Room 320, Carson City, NV 89701 or emailed to email@example.com.-
Originally known as the Truckee-Carson Project, the Project is one of Reclamation's oldest irrigation projects. Since 1903, it has served water users in the Truckee and Carson River Basins for agricultural and, increasingly, other purposes. Operation and maintenance of Project facilities is performed by the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District under a contract with Reclamation. For information about the Project, please visit http://www.usbr.gov/mp/lbao/.
For additional information, please contact Donna Potter, Public Affairs Specialist, at 916-978-5103 or firstname.lastname@example.com.-

Nothing to opt out of here, says CHO
In anticipation of National Opt-Out Day, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport announces it does not have the full-body imaging technology that is sending passengers to protest by refusing the scans that critics call a "virtual strip search" on the day before Thanksgiving, the busiest travel day of the year.
CHO still uses metal detectors, and if the alarm goes off, passengers will get a standard pat-down, not the enhanced, more invasive pat-downs that also are outraging travelers. If the standard pat-down doesn't turn up what set off the alarm, the offending passenger will be led to a curtained area to be more thoroughly patted down by a supervisor. Hint from CHO: Don't wear metal through the detector.
The Charlottesville-based Rutherford Institute has filed a lawsuit about the search techniques on behalf of two pilots.
12 comments
They are not pat downs or enhanced pat downs or gratuitous gropes.
They should be referred to as "Freedom Frisks."
It's all in the marketing.
Can I get my Freedom Frisk from an 18 YO blonde with big ......?
TSA screeners will have their hands full of junk. They will be hard pressed to find anyone to feel for them.
Dang! I was really looking forward to demanding an "enhanced" pat-down. Thought if I feigned a little attitude with the screeners, they might give me a little "extra" attention, if you know what I mean. Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more...
Ivey tart- Richmond? 35 Miles away? From where? Charlottesville? I don't think so.
Looks like all you have to do is get through the less "secure" airports' checkpoints and you are IN!!! Then it is a free ride to wherever a terorist would likely do their damage without any further scanning, sniffing, frisking or profiling- yet alone any further questioning. This is what happened at a couple of lesser used airports on Spetember 11, 2001.
Profiling is the only way to go- sorry, but my new grandson or 94 year old father are not going to be exploding anytime soon.
C.h.o is one airport to stay away from. there planes are never on time and the place is very unclean go to Ric its only 35 miles a away and god help you IF you stop out front at night on the weekend there P.S.O. ARE VERY MEAN . THEY YELL AND HAVE CUSS AT ME BEFORE .
I have flown out of CHO dozens of times and I ALWAYS find TSA courteous and efficient. Give them a break!
I, for one, am shocked that C'ville's 4-gate airport doesn't have those scanners. I kid, with love. I fly out of CHO a lot and always have a great experience, especially compared to other airports. But I will note that the last time I flew out of there (about 6 weeks ago) every single person who went through the metal detector got a pat-down, not just the ones who set it off. I don't believe it was "enhanced" (lol) but it was definitely a change in what I was used to at that airport.
TSA: It's our business to touch yours. -SNL
These comments are cracking me up. Nothing like a hot cup of coffee, cinnamon roll and a good laugh first thing in the morning. :D
Have you ever been whipped with a Cat o' Nine Tails?
Gee, you can get a "shake down" in C'ville (from the high cost of living) but not a "pat down".

It's not been a great month for would-be assassins. Ubisoft Montreal put you in the robes of a general dogsbody and only occasional killer, and now Io Interactive has made a Hitman game where your reward for finishing a level is often nothing more gratifying than passing through a door. On one occasion, even, the fade to black and subsequent results screen happens while you're crawling through an air duct. Or sometimes the assassination takes place in a cutscene; on more than one occasion, though, your perfect kill is botched as soon as control is taken away from you. Only sometimes in Hitman: Absolution do you get the satisfaction of executing a perfect kill before strolling off unseen.
In other words, you get all the hard work - the mistakes, the experiments, the restarts, the contingency plans, and the lengthy waits through interminable NPC conversations - without the gratification of the execution. This happens far, far too often.
If it's not really a Hitman game, then, what exactly is Hitman: Absolution? Well, there's strong evidence to suggest Io has been playing rather a lot of Splinter Cell Conviction: you use your finite supply of hitman 'instinct' to outline enemies and interactive objects, or you can expend it on 'point shooting' sequences where you mark your opponents one by one, and then jab a button to execute them. With bad guys loudly questioning your whereabouts, meanwhile, you begin to wonder whether they might even start mentioning that incident at the AIRFIELD, FISHER.
Being discovered, of course, is part and parcel of every Hitman game. But your window of opportunity for extricating yourself from a tight spot was always a little wider before. Besides, if the worst came to the worst and your best-laid plans ended up in tatters, you could always enjoy the catharsis of gunning down scores of people to compensate for the frustration of starting again.
In Hitman: Absolution that opportunity doesn't present itself too often. You're rarely given the tools for a serious gunfight, not least because guards are more plentiful and better-armed than before. There are fewer rooms to secrete yourself in from patrols, and so many people milling around that getting out of a key NPC's sightline tends to involve sprinting away from one hail of gunfire straight into another. Part of the fun of the previous Hitman games was winging it when you messed up. Hitman: Absolution is no fun.
The bizarre thing is that Io seems to tacitly encourage thinking on your feet. Its lack of mid-mission saves and the sparse checkpoints - positioned in places that suggest Io is subtly guiding you down a specific route - suggest you're not supposed to simply reload and start again. But with AI this sharp-eyed and aggressive it's very difficult. There's nothing wrong with enemies providing a challenge, of course, but their sheer numbers make certain tactics very restrictive.
It makes utter nonsense out of the disguise system, for starters. Wear an outfit that should allow you to blend in with others - a SWAT vest, staff uniform, guard fatigues - and you'll find venturing too close to one of your pretend peers will instantly arouse suspicion. You've then got perhaps a second to escape their eyeline before they'll start tailing you, at which point the idea is to lure them to a safe place and dispose of them by lethal or non-lethal means. There's an understandable logic to that, but safe places are rare. NPCs constantly patrol the playspace, and even if they're not the type to alert others to your presence then your cover is considered 'blown', meaning everyone on the level will react to you unless you find a fresh disguise.
You might also raise the alert simply for the sin of not pressing yourself flush against a wall, even if there's no way the alerted party could have seen you. Worse still, one of the loading screen hints recommends a tactic that simply doesn't work: strolling casually around won't quell the attentions of a pursuer. You're actually far better moving around by constantly bobbing up and down from cover positions, as this is bafflingly deemed much less suspicious behaviour than walking.
You're best staying out of sight entirely for the most part, then, but on many levels that's almost impossible; on particularly populous stages you're as well remaining in your iconic suit for the duration. 47 also never thinks to fully suit up when disguising himself, either: when adopting the garb of a balaclava-wearing henchmen or radiation suit, he leaves his distinctive, angular face visible throughout.
Still, if 47 likes to draw attention to himself all too often, the game's lighting does him no favours, an abundance of bloom glancing off his polished dome to spray a fetching shade of blue lens flare into the player's face. J.J. Abrams would be proud. Besides that, Hitman: Absolution is an attractively grimy game with the kind of attention to environmental detail that made Kane and Lynch's Shanghai shootouts so atmospheric. It's ugly in a very pretty way, in other words.
That's more than can be said for the narrative, mind you. Yes, the changes to the Hitman formula are all in service of a story that would be offensive if it wasn't so preposterous. It's a tawdry, grubby little tale of perverts and psychopaths: men are grotesque, corpulent, seedy, and greasy, but they fare better than the women, almost all of whom are helpless victims, strippers or nuns in fetish gear, most with the pneumatic proportions of an aggressively overinflated sex doll. Constant flashbacks of 47 killing his former handler in the shower are Io's stab at emotion, but lingering soft-porn shots of naked flesh make you wonder whether he's actually upset or preparing for a bit of between-mission onanism. Talking of which, one target - offed in a slow-motion action sequence straight out of a John Woo film - dies wondering why he has an erection. Mature gaming, ladies and gentlemen.
It's not all bad. There are fleeting moments here where Io gets things absolutely right. An early highlight sees you milling unseen among an astonishing crowd in Chicago's Chinatown, with myriad ways to dispose of your target from a drug-related death to a car bomb. It's classic Hitman with a Hollywood budget. A later, sweaty-palmed motel escape, meanwhile, segues into a stalk-and-kill sequence in a darkened cornfield that nods to one of Spielberg's great set-pieces, with 47 cast as the intelligent, vicious raptor in Io's lost world. That isn't quite Hitman as we know it, but it's a rare and fleeting sign of what could have been.
As, too, is Contracts mode, a smart addition that allows you to design your own hits to be shared with friends. The idea is to compete to become the most silent, deadly assassin, and while it doesn't entirely salvage the weaker stages - there's no salve for poor level design, it seems - it's something of a saving grace for Absolution as a whole, and a place where the classic 'separate and eliminate' tactic stands a greater chance of actually working.
The problem with Absolution is that its new custodians from the Kane and Lynch team seem to have fundamentally misunderstood what made Hitman great. If Io was attempting to make it more accessible then it's almost entirely failed, with more restrictive, prescriptive and awkward design allied to a challenge that is pleasingly firm but often infuriatingly unfair. If the desire was to make a Hitman for the purists, well, it's failed there too: the segmented sandboxes here simply aren't as expansive or as flexible as before. Hitman wasn't great because it was hard: it was great because it rewarded curiosity, experimentation and invention. This is what genuinely mature gaming is all about, not swearing, tits and gratuitous unpleasantness.
Occasionally you'll witness flashes of brilliance, glimpses that suggest Io could yet salvage something from this wreckage for its next Hitman game. And then you finish a stage with a tedious quick-time event, snapping the neck of a morbidly obese Danny Trejo-alike in a wrestling match watched by hundreds - astonishingly earning yourself a Silent Assassin rating in the process - and you shake your head sadly and wonder how it all went so badly wrong.
Version Tested: Xbox 360
This review was written after spending 18 hours with a retail version of the game provided by Square Enix. Story mode was completely finished and numerous Contracts missions were attempted.

The following video, "Ottawa River Keeper", was uploaded on Mar. 10, 2008, by Lu Utronki. This video is designed to bring awareness to the importance of the Ottawa River for sustainability.
The Ottawa River flows through the provinces of Quebec and Ontario for over 1200 kilometres. There are almost 2 million people who live throughout the Ottawa River watershed. To the Algonquin First Nations who lived by its banks and traveled by canoe the river was known as the Kitchi-sippi, meaning "The Great River". Visitors such as white water paddlers, fishing enthusiasts and river trippers from around the world looking for a wilderness experience enjoy the Ottawa River year round. The Ottawa River is a globally significant river and is part of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence watershed, and is the largest freshwater system in the entire world.
Hope to see you back here for our next blog featuring "Ottawa River Keeper Part 2" and "Alexandra Cousteau on the Ottawa River" – a Youtube video published this year on September 14th.

They don't know us.
They are our own government, our elected officials, our press.
They claim to speak for us and to inform us. But they don't know us. Not at all. Not even a little bit.
We are not their sheeple to manipulate and lie to and send to die. We do not and will not endlessly respond with Pavlovian obedience to the bells they ring for us.
That truth is slowly dawning on the insulated and isolated minions who run our cable news networks, sit in our seats of power and claim they speak for us with absolute accuracy. We are not their toy soldiers they move about in a game.
How could they be so wrong about us? After all, they've been successfully lying to us and manipulating us for decades. They've convinced us to fight and die for no reason at all time and again all over the globe. What is different now?
Perhaps the difference is the price. Aside from phonied-up claims that "supporting our troops" means we have to keep them at war and in war in perpetuity, these people don't know much about the price. They were beamed into their elected offices and sit in front of cameras that were paid for by beams of corporate money that comes from the same, or interlocking boards of the same, corporations that are making money off these wars.
Their world is not the world of paying the price. It is the world of reaping the benefits.
Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, fought on the ground in Afghanistan. But the moguls of our war machine did not send their young princes to the front. They were too busy getting the finest educations and living the best life, preparing to be the decision makers who send others to die in their place.
The "news" arm of this complex harangues us every night about the high cost of social security and how keeping our word to retirees is fiscal suicide for this country. Simultaneously, they batter us with constant calls for ever higher "defense" spending.
We are armed past imagining. We have more aircraft carriers and all that goes with them than we did when we were fighting the Germans and the Japanese combined. We buy weaponry that actual combat soldiers say fails in the dust, heat and impact of real warfare. But we don't buy enough body armor for our troops. We don't provide returning soldiers with adequate medical and psychological care.
And we can't rebuild our roads or put together meaningful public transportation. This same country that built a railroad that went from coast to coast in the 19th century, that created a national highway system, suddenly cannot spare the cash to develop a national public transportation system that would lower our dependence on the foreign oil that drives these wars. It appears that the same companies that build the bombs can no longer build the roads.
We do not make the goods this country consumes. We import them. Our industry is weaponry. Our export is war. We are breaking our own backs as a nation to feed a war machine we do not need to keep us safe. We are endangering the future of this nation to enrich a few by engaging in endless random wars that enrich a few and impoverish the rest of us.
Maybe it goes back that those beams of money that beam our elected officials into office. Maybe it has its roots in who is signing off on the enormous checks those talking heads are pulling down.
While our standard of living declines, they are living large.
While we fight these wars, they incite them.
And that is the reason why now they are so gobsmacked to find that We the People don't want to make war no more.
They don't know anything about the price that we've been paying for their wars. Because they don't know anything about us. We are another country to them. They manipulate us. They patronize us. They don't respect us. In fact, all they know about us is what they learn from reading polls.
It's time someone tried to explain this to them. They need to understand The Price.

HOWELL (AP) - A dispute between Meijer and a shopper is a reminder to watch your step in the fruit aisle.
The Michigan appeals court has affirmed a decision to throw out a lawsuit filed by Nancy Duncan, who said she was injured when she slipped on grapes at a Livingston County Meijer store.
Duncan says Meijer should have known there were grapes on a floor mat in front of the fruit display. She says some were brown, a suggestion they had been on the ground awhile.
But the appeals court this week said it's also possible that the grapes were brown before they hit the ground.
Case dismissed.

Prestige to buy Insight Pharma for about $750M
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. >> Medicine distributer Prestige Brands will spend about $750 million to buy the EPT home pregnancy test maker Insight Pharmaceuticals.
The Tarrytown, N.Y., company said Friday that the deal for the privately held company will expand its over-the-counter product portfolio to include products like the yeast infection treatment Monistat and other feminine care products.
Prestige also is acquiring tax attributes of about $100 million, which would lower the purchase price to $650 million.
Prestige Brands Holdings Inc. will use cash, its revolving credit agreement and an add-on it to its existing term loan to pay for the deal.
Prestige sells household cleaning products and other over-the-counter treatments like the sore throat remedy Chloraseptic and PediaCare.
Earlier this month, Prestige said that it would buy Hyrdralyte, an over-the-counter treatment for dehydration sold in Australia and New Zealand.
In 2012, it paid $660 million to buy 17 over-the-counter product brands from British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline. Those include Goody's pain relievers and Sominex sleep aids.
Prestige shares closed at $27.31 on Thursday and have tumbled 24 percent so far this year since closing 2013 at $35.80.

The calls for Brett Favre's retirement continue, coming mainly from people he's given 17 years of enjoyment. Lots of these comments are emotional, coming as they do immediately after his interception helped bring an early end to the NFC Championship overtime. Let's take a more sober-minded look.
Brett Favre was 4th in the NFL in overall passing yards. He was 4th in completion percentage. He was 4th in yards/game. He was tied for 6th in the NFL in touchdowns. He was tied for 6th in the NFL in passer rating. He was 6th in the NFL for pass completions over 20 yards. He was 1st in the NFL for pass completions over 40 yards.
Only one player who ranked in front of Favre in any of those categories played this weekend, Tom Brady. For all of the love Eli Manning is getting today – and he certainly played well last night – he was the 25th rated passer in the NFL this year, some 22 points behind Favre.
Favre led the Packers to a 13-3 record this year. And yes, he led the team — the youngest team in the NFL — to that record. That ties a franchise best.
Given his consistency, I would argue that Brett Favre was the second-best quarterback in the NFL this year. Others can dispute that. A good case could be made for Peyton Manning or Tony Romo behind Tom Brady. Either way, the numbers suggest he was no worse than the sixth best quarterback in the NFL.
And people really want him to retire?

Seven Sisters Festival
The Seven Sisters Festival falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. You can find the Western calendar date here.
Informally known as 'Chinese Valentine's Day' (along with the Spring Lantern Festival) the Seven Sisters Festival has its origins in the two stars Altair and Vega. Chinese legend tells that these shining beauties are actually two lovers — a mortal cowherd and a goddess weaver — who have been cruelly separated on either side of the Milky Way. While the tale has several variations, many say that on this date each year the magpies of the world take pity on the star-crossed pair and form a temporary bridge for them to be united.
The festival is traditionally celebrated with needlework competitions, the burning of incense and young women making offerings to the lovesick goddess weaver and her cowherd beau. But in Hong Kong, some young romantics make additional offerings at Lovers' Rock on Bowen Road in Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island.
MTR Wan Chai Station Exit A3, walk along Tai Yuen Street, take Bus 15 at Queen's Road East and get off at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital, then walk along Bowen Road for around 30 minutes.

School is out for most New York City students, yet many of the city's educators and school officials are still cramming. They will be hard at work all summer to try to get the newly reorganized school system up and running by the time students return in September.
Over the past month, the sketchy outlines of this new system have been filled in a bit. For starters, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Chancellor Joel Klein officially settled a lawsuit, brought by Senator Carl Kruger, Assemblyman Steve Sanders, and others, that threatened to stall reorganization plans. The suit charged that the restructuring was illegal because it eliminated community school district superintendents without permission of the legislature.
However, the terms of the settlement changed the new administrative structure of the schools very little. The old high school superintendencies and community school districts will still be subsumed into ten new instructional divisions run by regional superintendents. As planned, 113 "local instructional supervisors" will oversee instruction in clusters of schools within the divisions. Thirty-two of these "LIS's" (rhymes with kisses), as they are called by the Department of Education, will also be designated as community school district superintendents, will maintain a small district office, and will work with the parent and community members who will sit on the "district education councils," which are the groups that will replace the community school boards.
All of the local instructional supervisors have now been appointed. Former principals, district instructional personnel, staff developers, and superintendents are among those who were tapped for the new positions. Each supervisor has charge of a network of ten or so schools.
The groups of schools that make up each new network have also been announced. In composing the networks, as well as in assigning local instructional supervisors to them, the regional superintendents were given broad discretion. Chancellor Klein and the Department of Education asked only that the groupings ease the transition to a system that runs more seamlessly from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
The ten regional superintendents interpreted this in different ways and took a variety of approaches to creating the networks. As a result, some networks mix elementary, middle and high schools under the same local instructional supervisor. Others consist mostly of same-level schools. Some mix schools from different community school districts or mix high- and low-performing schools. Other networks consist of similar schools or schools that are geographically close.
Many parents, educators, and advocates support the principle behind the new networks. They like the idea of having administrators responsible for a manageable number of schools and focused on instruction. They saw potential in networking neighborhood elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as in clustering schools with similar philosophies so they could support one another. But, in the weeks since the networks have been created, some have expressed skepticism about the methods used to cluster schools and disappointment with the results. They worry that some schools' special qualities, once supported by their district offices, will be neglected or get homogenized within the new structure.
The official role of parents and community members in the governance of school system has also been determined. On July 9, Governor George Pataki signed legislation replacing community school boards with community district education councils. The new district councils will each have nine parent members selected by the parents associations from that district. Each council will also have two community members who are to be appointed by the borough presidents and a nonvoting student member, appointed by the district superintendent.
As with the boards they replaced, the councils' duties are largely advisory. They will hold monthly meetings with the superintendent to discuss the district's educational progress, submit an annual performance evaluation of the district's leadership to the chancellor, hold a hearing on the district's annual capacity needs and review the districts' educational programs and their impact on student achievement. No one is yet sure how (or how well) the councils' district-defined responsibilities will relate to the new network structure.
Parents with questions about how all these changes may affect their children's schooling can go to the Department of Education's Learning Support Centers for a full range of information and service or they can visit their district office. They can also call the Chancellor's Parent Hotline, 718-482-3777. Parents of high school students should call the Chancellor's Parent Hotline or go to their Web site to find the instructional division in which their high school is located.
Jessica Wolff is a public school parent and Director of Policy Development at the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, a not-for-profit coalition working to reform New York State's education finance system to ensure adequate resources and the opportunity for a sound basic education for all students in New York City.

They are back
About two years ago there was a group of guys who had issues with me and started a site called USA Monger Guide. They spammed us a lot trying to build traction. After a year or so their site failed. They are back and doing the same thing with a new site. So far they have hit us twice, they will do it again. They register users bring them to Seniors so they are un moderated then spam us with those accounts pretending to be mongers here.
This time the fear mongering is about the pedophiliac professor from U of Miami in Ohio that got caught in a pedo sting the FBI ran on the forum two years ago. We addressed it then and Im happy to address it now. The FBI registered a user and said he had somebody who was super young looking to date. When guys answered he told them she was 14. With the exception of the pedo above everybody who answered called him a sick fuck. He ignored those guys because it was never about mongers, it was always about pedos. The ONE Pedo said Im in so they kept him talking, then they moved him to an email off our site (just like our spammers are doing to guys who PM them) because when he wrote THEIR email instead of using OUR PMs the FBI controlled that server and they could harvest all his meta data. Then they got him to cross two state lines to meet the girl and busted him. I said then, and Ill say it again now. Good. I hope hes taking it up the ass by some sick motherfucker on an hourly basis. I also said then and Ill say it now. They are welcomed to bust all the fucking pedos in the world for all I care. If you're somebody who thinks pedos should be on this site then you can go too.
The important thing to remember is they IGNORED the mongers. They NEVER contacted them a second time. They had absolutely ZERO interest in guys who were interested in adult women.
They will also say we read PMs we dont. When they started spamming us last time we had to develop a tool that scans PMs. We scan for a lot of stuff, spammers like these asshole, pedos, poachers, jihadi terrorists, lots of stuff. We get about 30,000 PMs a week and I guess on a busy week it kicks out 15 or 20 for me to review. Its not perfect but we think 20 out of 30,000 is reasonable. Sadly, because of assholes like this, you cant leave your PM system unprotected. They will hit us again, they have no other marketing strategy. When they do, please dont respond to them just report them and let us deal with them.
Classified Site Down
We are aware that the classified site is down. It seems our server burned up and we also lost a bunch of data.
We are really sorry for the inconvenience and are working with our host to get it back up as soon as possible.
Once it's back up it's probably going to be loaded with a bunch of old ads because our most recent backups went with the server.

Brienne Tarth,[4] commonly called Brienne of Tarth after her island home,[1] is the only living child and heir of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall.[5] Brienne is sometimes called the Maid of Tarth[6] and mocked as Brienne the Beauty.[7] In the television adaptation Game of Thrones she is portrayed by Gwendoline Christie.
Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is unfeminine in appearance and is considered unattractive by Westerosi standards.[1] She is tall, muscular, flat-chested, and ungainly,[1] with long, shoulder-length brittle straw-colored hair[8] and broad, coarse features that are covered in freckles. Brienne's teeth are prominent and crooked. Her mouth is wide, her lips are swollen, and her nose has been broken more than once.[1] She has large, beautiful blue eyes.[9][10]
Ser Jaime Lannister is surprised to learn, as they fight, that Brienne is stronger than him.[11] When asked about her height, George R. R. Martin replied:
Brienne is well over six feet tall, but not close to seven, no. Just off the top of my head, I would say Brienne is taller than Renly and Jaime and significantly heavier than either, but nowhere near the size of Gregor Clegane, who is the true giant in the series. Shorter than Hodor and the Greatjon, maybe a bit shorter than the Hound, maybe roughly the same height as Robert.[12]
Brienne has spent most of her life as the object of scorn, rejection and—at best—pity. When she tried to dress and act like a proper lady, she was met with mockery and disdain for her unattractive appearance and lack of feminine social graces; when she turned to a career more suited to her talents as a warrior, she received only contempt and resentment for her gender despite her considerable skill.[13] Perhaps because of this background, Brienne is as awkward in personality as she is in appearance. While Lady Maege and Dacey Mormont have found respect and acceptance as female warriors[14], Brienne yearns for respect and acceptance from others, and easily gives her love and loyalty to the few people who treat her with any degree of genuine courtesy.[15][16]
Brienne can be headstrong and judgmental, but she is also honest, straightforward, loyal and determined. Although she has received poor treatment from most knights, Brienne clings to a naively idealized concept of knighthood. Despite—or perhaps because of—the fact that she has no expectation of ever being recognized by society for her accomplishments, she nevertheless strives to live up to the ideal of a true knight at all times.[17]
Brienne's dented steel armor is a brilliant, deep blue cobalt. She wears a velvet doublet quartered rose-and-azure, breeches and boots and a fine-tooled swordbelt. Her horse is barded with the quartered sun-and-moon heraldry of House Tarth.[1] Brienne wields a blunt morningstar during melees.[1]
Brienne was born the eldest daughter of Lord Selwyn Tarth, Lord of Evenfall Hall, on the island of Tarth. Her mother died when she was so young that she does not remember her.[9] She had a single older brother, Galladon, who drowned when he was eight and she was four, and two younger sisters, both of whom died in the cradle.[17] This makes her the only living offspring of Lord Selwyn, a fact that naturally encouraged him to find a suitable match for her. Given her ugly and ungainly appearance and attitude, however, the task was a difficult one, especially since Brienne was bent on a martial life rather than a marital one, more comfortable with a sword than in the company of court society. She was tutored by her septa, Roelle, and had the equivalent of a knight's training by a master-at-arms, Ser Goodwin.[13][18]
Brienne's father successfully found three men willing to betroth her, though all the betrothals fell through. A younger son of Lord Bryen Caron was Brienne's first betrothed. They met only once, on the occasion of their betrothal, when she was seven and he was ten. The boy died two years later from a chill, along with his father, mother and sisters. Had he not died, Brienne would have been wed to him within the year of her first flowering.[8] The second betrothal was to Ser Ronnet Connington, who was six years older than her. On their meeting, Red Ronnet gave her a rose, and told her it was all she would have of him, breaking the betrothal as he felt she was a "freak".[19] The last man Brienne was betrothed to, Ser Humfrey Wagstaff, warned her he would insist she act like "a proper woman" once they were wed. Though only sixteen, Brienne replied she would only accept such a demand from a man who could beat her in combat. In the effort, Humfrey ended up with three broken bones and a broken betrothal.[13]
After that, Lord Selwyn stopped trying to arrange a marriage for Brienne.[13] Brienne's only positive encounter with a man occurred when House Tarth's liege, Lord Renly Baratheon, visited their island during his coming of age tour. He crossed paths with Brienne and treated her courteously, and she fell in love with him.[8] Sometime later, Lord Selwyn sent her to Storm's End.[20]
Recent Events
A Clash of Kings
When Renly Baratheon declares himself king at Highgarden, Brienne joins him in his march to King's Landing.[1] She also attends his marriage to Margaery Tyrell, which greatly saddens her.[17] In Renly's camp, Brienne is continuously mocked. Some of the young knight's wager on who will be the first to get her maidenhead, until Lord Randyll Tarly puts an end to it, warning Brienne that her presence is the cause of the problem.[7]
Later in the march, Brienne proves her mettle with a morningstar in a melee at Bitterbridge, defeating Ser Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, as well as many of her mocking suitors. She asks to join the Rainbow Guard as her prize, becoming Brienne the Blue. She sharply reminds Catelyn Stark of the courtesy due a king, and is later dismayed when Renly denies the need for an escort for a stroll after the night's feast.[1]
At Renly's parley with his brother Stannis at the siege of Storm's End, Brienne is his standard-bearer. After the negotiations fail, she is assigned to do the same in the upcoming clash, riding in the vanguard alongside Loras.[21] The next day at dawn, she is arming Renly for battle against his brother when a shadow enters his tent and assassinates him. Brienne is accused of the murder, but Catelyn is able to convince those present that she is innocent and takes Brienne with her when she flees the camp.[22]
When they arrive at Riverrun, Brienne wants to leave to take revenge with Renly's sword on Stannis for Renly's death, but Catelyn convinces Brienne to enter her service instead.[15] Brienne is present when Lady Stark speaks with the Kingslayer, Ser Jaime Lannister, in his cell, and grants Catelyn her sword when it is asked for.[23]
A Storm of Swords
At Riverrun, after receiving news that her sons Bran and Rickon Stark have been killed, Catelyn decides to free Ser Jaime Lannister, making Brienne escort him to King's Landing to fulfill the promise made by the Hand of the King, Tyrion Lannister, to return her daughters Sansa and Arya if the Kingslayer were freed. Ser Cleos Frey, Jaime's cousin, accompanies them as an envoy.[24]
Brienne defends Jaime ably. She learns much of his history that is little known to Westeros at large and the two develop a grudging respect for each other. They make for the city by boat, throwing off pursuit from Riverrun when Brienne scales a cliff and rolls boulders onto Ser Robin Ryger's pursuing galley,[10] after which they continue by land. At the Inn of the Kneeling Man, Brienne's wariness prevents the group from taking the innkeeper's travel advice, as he is in league with bandits and is attempting to lead them into ambush.[25]
Later, they are ambushed by different outlaws near Maidenpool. Cleos is killed and Jaime tries to escape, dueling Brienne with Cleos's sword. Manacled and out of practice, Jaime cannot defeat Brienne, who holds his head underwater. Their fighting is interrupted by the Brave Companions, however. Four Bloody Mummers beat Brienne, knocking out two of her teeth. The unscrupulous sellswords then chop off Jaime's sword hand.[11] His fighting ability gone, Jaime despairs for his life, but Brienne convinces him to live for revenge. In turn, Jaime prevents Zollo, Rorge, and Shagwell, three of the Mummers, from raping Brienne.[26] The Brave Companions confiscate Brienne's armor and sword.[27]
At Harrenhal, the two share a bath and Jaime reveals he stopped the wildfire plot of King Aerys II Targaryen during Robert's Rebellion. Qyburn brings her a pink gown, which Jaime thinks she looks ridiculous wearing. Lord Roose Bolton sends Jaime on his way, but keeps Brienne as Vargo Hoat's prize.[27] Jaime returns after dreaming of her, however, and rescues her from the bear pit of Harrenhal.[2] Brienne bites Vargo Hoat's ear,[2] which leaves him delirious from infection.[28] Steelshanks Walton escorts Brienne and Jaime toward King's Landing, and Brienne is shocked when Ser Bertram Beesbury informs them at Brindlewood of Catelyn's death in the Red Wedding.[28]
After their arrival in King's Landing, the pair are confronted by Ser Loras Tyrell, who still believes Brienne guilty of Renly's regicide. Jaime has Brienne arrested for her own protection,[28] and he arranges for Loras to speak to her; this finally dispels Brienne's blame.[29]
Jaime entrusts Brienne with the Valyrian steel longsword given to him by his father Tywin, naming it Oathkeeper. He sends her to seek the vanished Sansa Stark, to fulfill his promise to Catelyn. As Oathkeeper was forged from the metal of Eddard Stark's greatsword, Ice, Brienne is using Stark steel to rescue the Stark girl. Along with this, Jaime gives her two bags full of coin, a mail hauberk, a Lothston shield, and a letter signed by King Tommen I Baratheon saying that she is on a royal mission.[6]
A Feast for Crows
Ser Jaime Lannister is sent by his sister, Queen Cersei Lannister, to subdue the remaining rebels in the riverlands. At Harrenhal he strikes Ronnet Connington for mocking Brienne.[19]
Unbeknownst to Brienne, Sansa Stark is hiding at the Eyrie under the assumed name of Alayne Stone with Lord Petyr Baelish.[30] Brienne searches for Sansa along the Rosby road in the crownlands, meeting Illifer, Creighton Longbough, and Shadrich.[8] She visits the Dun Fort in Duskendale and has her shield repainted to the arms of Ser Duncan the Tall. Podrick Payne, once the squire of Sansa's husband Tyrion Lannister, tries to discretely follow her, and Brienne allows the boy to join her quest.[13]
Brienne's next stop is at Maidenpool, which she only enters with the unwanted aid of Ser Hyle Hunt, one of the knights who had mockingly courted her in Renly's camp. There she finds Lord Randyll Tarly dispensing justice; he begrudgingly allows her to continue her search. At the Stinking Goose she meets Nimble Dick Crabb, who leads her after a fool, whom she believes is Dontos Hollard, who might have Sansa with him.[7] Brienne wishes Jaime Lannister had come with her, but realizes his place is with the king.[18]
Traveling through Crackclaw Point, the trio arrive at the Whispers, the ruined hall of Nimble Dick's ancestors from House Crabb. They meet a band of Brave Companions remnants led by the fool Shagwell, the psychotic jester. Shagwell kills Dick, but Brienne then kills Pyg and Timeon with Oathkeeper. She forces Shagwell to dig a grave for Dick and then kills him as well when the fool turns on her. Hyle joins her party, having followed her from Maidenpool.[18]
Following the sellswords' information, Brienne heads back to the riverlands to find Sandor Clegane, who was reported to be with a girl, unbeknownst to her to be the wrong daughter. At Maidenpool they join with Meribald, an itinerant septon, who accompanies them to Saltpans. From there she visits the nearby Quiet Isle, where the Elder Brother assures her that the Hound is dead.[17]
At the inn at the crossroads near the Trident, Brienne encounters another group of former Brave Companions led by Rorge, who has been masquerading as Sandor while raping and murdering in the riverlands. Defending the orphans at the inn, the outnumbered Brienne kills Rorge but is grievously wounded by Biter, who chews the flesh off her cheek.[31] After Gendry rescues her from Biter, he and the remaining members of the brotherhood without banners take her captive, along with Podrick and Hyle. Delirious from the bite, she calls out for Jaime Lannister.[32]
The undead Catelyn Stark, now leading the brotherhood as "Lady Stoneheart", does not believe Brienne's explanation of her search for Sansa and instead judges her to be a traitor who is serving House Lannister, due to her sword with a golden lion's head as its pommel, and the letter signed and sealed by King Tommen I Baratheon stating that Brienne is "about his business".[32] Brienne is given the choice of "sword or noose" — either prove her loyalty by killing Jaime Lannister, or hang. Brienne refuses to choose and is sentenced to hang, along with her two companions, Podrick and Ser Hyle.[32] According to a semi-canon source, when she sees Podrick choking, she shouts "sword" to save him.[32][33]
A Dance with Dragons
Having been spared by the brotherhood, Brienne appears briefly at Pennytree when Jaime camps there. She asks Jaime to help her save Sansa Stark from the Hound, claiming they are a day's ride away. She tells Jaime, however, that he must go with her alone, or the Hound will kill Sansa.[34] Cersei is skeptical when she is informed that her twin, Jaime, disappeared with a woman in the riverlands.[35]
Quotes by Brienne
Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it's always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.[1]—Brienne to Catelyn Stark
Brienne: Fighting is better than this waiting. You don't feel so helpless when you fight. You have a sword and a horse, sometimes an axe. When you're armored it's hard for anyone to hurt you.
Catelyn: Knights die in battle.
Brienne: As ladies die in childbed. No one sings songs about them.[9]—Brienne and Catelyn Stark
Sansa, though ... I will find her, my lady, Brienne swore to Lady Catelyn's restless shade. I will never stop looking. I will give up my life if need be, give up my honor, give up all my dreams, but I will find her.[13]—thoughts of Brienne
Young or old, a true knight is sworn to protect those who are weaker than himself, or die in the attempt.[17]—thoughts of Brienne
I have to find her. There are others looking, all wanting to capture her and sell her to the queen. I have to find her first. I promised Jaime. Oathkeeper, he named the sword. I have to try to save her... or die in the attempt.[17]—Brienne to the Elder Brother
Seven, Brienne thought again, despairing. She had no chance against seven, she knew. No chance, and no choice.[31]—thoughts of Brienne
Quotes about Brienne
Brienne the Beauty, they name her ... though not to her face, lest they be called upon to defend those words with their bodies.[1]
I knew Brienne when she was no more than a girl playing at her father's feet in Evenfall Hall, and I knew her still better when the Evenstar sent her here to Storm's End. She loved Renly Baratheon from the first moment she laid eyes on him, a blind man could see it.[20]
There is a sweet innocence about you, child.[23]—Catelyn Stark to Brienne
She is stronger than I am. The realization chilled him.[11]—thoughts of Jaime Lannister
The light was so dim that Jaime could scarcely see her, though they stood a scant few feet apart. In this light she could almost be a beauty, he thought. In this light she could almost be a knight.[2]—dream of Jaime Lannister
Loras: Draw your sword, woman!
Jaime: Best hope she doesn't. Or it's like to be your corpse we carry out. The wench is as strong as Gregor Clegane, though not so pretty.[28]
Brienne's ugly, and pighead stubborn. But she lacks the wits to be a liar, and she is loyal past the point of sense.[29]
Loras: Renly thought she was absurd. A woman dressed in man's mail, pretending to be a knight.
Jaime: If he'd ever seen her in pink satin and Myrish lace, he would not have complained.
Loras: I asked him why he kept her close, if he thought her so grotesque. He said that all his other knights wanted things of him, castles or honors or riches, but all that Brienne wanted was to die for him.[29]
Blue is a good color on you, my lady. It goes well with your eyes.[6]—Jaime Lannister to Brienne
You have a man's strength in your arms, but your heart is as soft as any maid's. It is one thing to train in the yard with a blunted sword in hand, and another to drive a foot of sharpened steel into a man's gut and see the light go out of his eyes.[18]—Goodwin to Brienne
It is said that your father is a good man. If so, I pity him. Some men are blessed with sons, some with daughters. No man deserves to be cursed with such as you.[36]—Randyll Tarly to Brienne
The queen remembered the Maid of Tarth, a huge, ugly, shambling thing who dressed in man's mail. Jaime would never abandon me for such a creature.[35]—thoughts of Cersei Lannister
Family tree
Previous speculation on Brienne's descent included that Brienne descends from Ser Duncan the Tall, a former Lord Commander of the Kingsguard during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen. An argument often raised was that a shield bearing Duncan's personal arms was in the armory at Evenfall Hall, and that Brienne later used these arms while traveling in the crownlands and riverlands.[13] Though George R. R. Martin initially only confirmed that a descendant of Duncan appears in the books,[37][38] in 2016 at Balticon, Martin confirmed Brienne's descent, stating that the exact relation between Duncan and Brienne would be "revealed in time".[39]
