This is truly an example of bad things happening to good people. Rusty is a very caring, dedicated person who must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thankfully, Rusty has the youthful strength and positive attitude to recover from the hideous attack.
The truly sad back story for our community & Russ Talmo's unfortunate assault. Thank you Jessica Mayrer for this piece. I think moving forward with the healing process starts with raising community awareness of senseless violence around Missoula and helping raise support for crime victims like Russ. Please pitch in if you can:
My God! I hope this guy is going to be ok and the cowardly jerk that did this crime gets caught. We just don't need this sort of trash running around Missoula.
Thanks goes out to Blake Nicolazzo for putting out the word on the fund set up to help Russ in his recovery. I'm going to give.
did anyone get any description of the attacker?
Thank you Jessica and the Indy for bringing this story to the Missoula community
God, I hope find the bastard who did this and put him away for a long time.
Whether or not "knockout" was a phenomenon before all the media attention, it is one now and susceptible sociopaths will take it up. Tragic events follow - how to avert them? Better to shun the whole idea or to create a counter-narrative?
The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago: a random, unprovoked assault - downtown. I won't go anywhere alone anymore after dark.
There is a fund set up to help Russ in his recovery:
Could it be the area construction and the Urban Renewal Tax District did the business in? It was nice to have movies shown in that part of town.
The club has moved to 1500 W Broadway
750 ml is perfect for sharing!
Wow, gotta love downtown. Maybe if those dolt's weren't so worried about signage, transients, and drunk Indians they could find the time to help another business out.
Sad day for that sorry neck of the woods.
Well we'll just have to make that 3,000 people who voted him out come the next go-round.
cushy jobs? missoula? BAhahahaha
Just saw that lol
He would have been much better off saying Billings.... Or pretty much any city in the South... Missoula is a blue dot in a red State, and he unfortunately threw a bad dart. Oh well... At least he knows.... Now...

Another invite-only "collaborative" leads to unprofessional Forest Service conduct
Yet another invite-only, exclusive "collaboration" involving public U.S. Forest Service land management has sprung up in Montana. This time the collaborative group is called the Whitefish Range Partnership (WRP), and they are focused on roughly 350,000 acres of the Flathead National Forest's portion of the Whitefish Range above the cities of Columbia Falls and Whitefish.
As you will see below, the leaders of the Whitefish Range Partnership completely admit that they made a conscious decision to exclude certain members of the public. Notably, the WRP admits to purposely excluding any conservation organization that had worked within the established public participation processes outlined within the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in order to comment, appeal and, if necessary, file a lawsuit against a timber sale on the Flathead National Forest. It also appears that the WRP purposely excluded some of the "multiple-use" folks. Also of note is the fact that Flathead National Forest officials were invited to attend all the meetings of the WRP in an advisory capacity.
The WRP leaders conducted a media blitz last week, announcing an agreed upon deal that, among other things:
• Increases the "Suitable Timber Base" by 45% in order to supposedly achieve "commercial certainty for the timber industry" (in an era where lumber consumption and home construction are down more than 50% and not expected to rebound anytime soon).
• Decreases recommendations for areas protected as Wilderness.
• Increases motorcycle recreation in the southeast portion of the Whitefish Range.
• Provides a large increase in recreation opportunities for snowmobilers.
Q: Has there even been a public lands "collaborative" group that didn't decide to increase logging, decrease Wilderness and increase motorized recreation?
RE: Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act
Below are some concerns regarding Senator Baucus' Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act. Supporters of the bill aren't being totally honest or up-front with the public about what the actual bill language would mean for the Rocky Mountain Front.
Here are some facts and specifics based on the actual bill language:
• The 67, 000 acres of Wilderness designations along the Rocky Mountain Front proposed by Senator Baucus is a paltry sum, given the world-class, and largely unprotected wildlands and wildlife habitat, currently found along the Rocky Mountain Front. Even the Forest Service has recommended more Wilderness protections in their forest plans for the area than what Senator Baucus is proposing. Unfortunately, a few years ago supporters of Baucus' bill dropped almost 30,000 acres of proposed Wilderness from this bill at the request of snowmobilers and those who oppose Wilderness. I strongly urge Senator Baucus to include Wilderness protections for all the inventoried roadless wildlands along the Rocky Mountain Front.
• The Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act PRESERVES EXISTING motorized recreation, private grazing and logging on 208,160 acres of federal public land along the RMF. Sure, supporters of the bill have re-named this 208,160 acre area where motors, grazing and logging will continue as a nice sounding "Rocky Mountain Front Conservation Management Area." However, a serious question that should be posed to Senator Baucus is: How does preserving existing motorized use, private grazing and logging on 208,160 acres along the Rocky Mountain Front actually result in protecting the area or eliminating the threats posed by motorized use, grazing and logging in these areas?
• Re: Grazing – This bill mandates and LOCKS-IN public lands grazing by private ranchers across the Front by stating that "The secretary SHALL permit grazing" where it currently exists. Under existing law, grazing may be allowed to continue, but it is not mandated that it must be allowed to continue. The current language of the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act ties the hands of the Forest Service and it is worse than a bail-out, as it MANDATES the federal government to keep a private, commercial enterprise operating on public land, regardless of the ecological consequences, both now and into perpetuity. This public lands grazing mandate MUST be removed from the RMFHA.
• The bill language for maintaining existing facilities for livestock grazing is more liberal than previous Wilderness bills. The language incorporating State or local agencies for controlling fire, insects and disease promotes the trend toward devolution of federal public lands and is objectionable on that basis. This language should be removed from the RMFHA.
• Much of the noxious weed stuff in the bill is all about taxpayer funding for dropping tons of poisons on the ground while also MANDATING that all existing livestock grazing continue forever. If this were an effective strategy there wouldn't be weeds in Montana. Given the complexities and unknowns of controlling weeds, especially with a rapidly changing climate and an escalating number of encroaching weed species, the called-for management strategy needs to focus on an assessment of existing weed infestations, the causes, potential controls, costs, likelihood of success, and clearly stated, measurable objectives to determine whether the controls are effective, and what will be done if they aren't or if the funding doesn't come through. At a minimum, this section of the bill should call for the plan to be written by an independent team of scientists.
Many of these substantive concerns regarding the actual language and specifics of the Rocky Mountain Heritage Act have been expressed by a number of organizations and many experienced, dedicated wilderness and forest activists. Many Montana wilderness supporters remain disappointed that the Act would only designate a small fraction of Wilderness-deserving lands on the Rocky Mountain Front as Wilderness, while leaving too much of the Front open to logging, grazing, motorized recreation and other forms of development.
We've tried to get the Coalition to Protect the Rocky Mountain Front to listen to our concerns, make adjustments to the bill and add more protections to the unparalleled wildlife habitat and wildlands on the Rocky Mountain Front, but, unfortunately, they seem more concerned with politics and appeasing the opinions of the anti-wilderness crowd.
I would encourage those who value the Rocky Mountain Front for it's wildness and wildlife habitat, as I do, to read the actual bill. Then contact Senator Baucus and those pushing this bill and ask them to address many of the substantive, specific concerns with the actual language of the bill. Thank you.
RE: Senator Tester's mandated logging bill, the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act
Senator Tester wants to forever change the way America's national forests are managed by simply having Congressional politicians mandate a dramatic increase in logging levels, at a time when US lumber consumption is down nearly 50% and American's approval rating and trust in Congress is at an all time.
Tester claims "gridlock" prevents logging, but between 2008 and 2012 the US Forest Service sold enough timber sales in Montana and N. Idaho to fill over 239,000 logging trucks, which if lined up, would stretch for 2,048 miles. Why is Tester being dishonest about this fact?
The Forest Jobs and Recreation Act contains several major precedent-setting provisions potentially detrimental to America's national public lands legacy. These include:
1) Localizing of National Forest management by private, local entities for private profit. This could represent the fragmentation of National Forest system management and regulations to a serious degree and ignores the basic principle that national public lands belong to all Americans, not just those with political connections, lots of money or within the timber industry.
2) Mandated logging of National Forest land is an unscientific override of current forest planning by professional Forest Service staff.
3) Numerous unfunded mandates that allows funds to be drawn from other forests and Forest Service regions to implement FJRA, pitting forests against another for funding. This creates hard feelings and mistrust rather than cooperation. Make no mistake, if Tester's mandated logging bill passes, logging on the Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest and Kootenia National Forest supersede any other Forest Service budget priorities. Money will be taken from Wilderness programs, trails, weed programs, monitoring programs, law enforcement programs....all to pay for more taxpayer subsidized logging for the timber industry.
4) Contains several provisions that abrogate the Wilderness Act by allowing non conforming uses including motorized access, and other intrusions.
5) Releases 76,000 acres that are currently protected as "Wilderness Study Areas" as a result of a late 1970s bill passed by the great Montana Senator Lee Metcalf. The Montana Wilderness Association's website fully admits that: "Currently those twelve Wilderness Study Areas are not official wilderness areas but have been managed as if they are wilderness. This proposal [Tester's FJRA] allows the lands not designated to be opened up to other uses, such as timber harvest and recreation." How in the world can the Montana Wilderness Association support opening up these Wilderness Study Areas to logging and motorized recreation?
For these and other reasons, over 50 forest and wilderness organizations around the country – including the Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife, WildEarth Guardians, NRDC, Center for Biological Diversity, PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility) – oppose Senator Tester's mandated logging bill, the FJRA.
Do we really want to open the door for politicians in the US Congress to simply just mandate resource extraction levels on America's public lands, to hell with science and public processes? If you answer "YES" to that question...the FJRA is for you.
Thank you.

Flash Sale Retailer Launches Month-Long Sale to Benefit The Nicholas Sparks Foundation
BOSTON, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate giving back with style, Joss & Main, the fastest-growing private sale site for the home, has partnered with esteemed American novelist, screenwriter and producer Nicholas Sparks. Together they are launching Curate For A Cause, a curated collection that takes inspiration from Nicholas Sparks' most famous novels, such as The Notebook, Dear John and The Longest Ride, his newest release.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130306/NE71735LOGO )
Proceeds benefit The Nicholas Sparks Foundation, a nonprofit committed to providing students with leadership skills, academic development, international experiences, and cultural understanding necessary to flourish in the global society of the 21st century.
"With the new school year upon us, it's the perfect time to draw attention to my Foundation-an amazing cause that inspires youth to make a difference in the world," noted Sparks. "In partnership with Joss & Main, we are excited to raise awareness and funds to develop programs that increase cultural immersion in education with the aim of helping future generations contribute to the story of life by becoming better global citizens."
In 2006, recognizing the importance of childhood education, Nicholas Sparks started The Epiphany School for Global Studies in New Bern, North Carolina, with a focus on global education, service to others and one's own community, and international understanding. In the fall of 2011, the Nicholas Sparks Foundation was formed to expand the philanthropy of the Sparks family, while showcasing the work being done at The Epiphany School on a national level. Nicholas's hope is that friends and fans will be equally inspired to contribute and help make an impact on the world.
When designing this curated Joss & Main collection, careful attention was paid to colors and textures that invoke popular scenes from Sparks' novels. For instance, several pieces from the collection will take you back to the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946 where The Notebook took place.
"We truly commend what Nicholas Sparks and his foundation have achieved over the last few years. We are honored to have the opportunity to showcase these beautiful product picks reminiscent of his novels to benefit such a worthy cause," said Meredith Mahoney, director of curation at Joss & Main. "As with every Curate For A Cause event, our goal with these special collections is to bring a vision and mission to life with unique products and exquisite furniture."
The Curate For A Cause event will launch on Tuesday, September 17th at 9 p.m. ET and run through Tuesday, October 15th.

For academic purposes, I need to print out some pages of characters with stroke orders shown. Which computer fonts (e.g. TrueType or OpenType) are available which show the stroke order of each character (e.g. by showing numbers near the beginning of each stroke)?

I just started a project to make such a font. You can find it here: http://rtega.be/chmn/index.php?subpage=68 | |||||||||
There is a website called 汉典. It is a dedicated Chinese character dictionary, and now has animated stroke order. It is (almost) all Chinese though. | |||
MDBG has stroke animations for all the characters, and highlights the radical, but I don't think you can print it out. That said, it's available online, for free, so it gets points for accessibility. | |||||||||||||
No fonts do, just sites with pictures or animations.

As far as I know, there isn't any Chinese font with stroke order. But Japanese has: http://www.nihilist.org.uk, https://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/. And I have to remind you, even one character is the same in Chinese and Japanese, its stroke order may be different. | |||

As news of the on President Obama's Healthcare Reform Act broke, many official California supporters were quick to release official statements, excerpts of which are reprinted below:
Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair and California Democratic Party Vice-Chair Eric C. Bauman
I applaud the Supreme Court's ruling this morning to uphold the Affordable Care Act, the signature piece of legislation of President Obama's first term. More than 44 million Americans without insurance will not lose their opportunity to get health care or be denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition, and those who are insured no longer face the threat of losing their coverage if they get sick.
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton)
I am extremely disappointed in today's ruling. The president's health care bill, one of the most intrusive bills this nation has ever seen, was a huge step toward a Washington-controlled health care system.
L.A. County Board of Supervisors Chairman Zev Yaroslavsky
Providing health care services to the community is among our highest priorities as County officials…For the last two years Los Angeles has been preparing to transition to health care under the Affordable Care Act. With the Supreme Court decision behind us, we can now turn our attention to full implementation of the law in 2014."
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, (R-Huntington Beach)
It's now time for the American people to speak out and reject the job killing, massive tax increasing government takeover of health care that is Obamacare by electing a president and representatives willing to fully repeal and replace this monstrosity.
Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Director Dr. Mitchell Katz
As a result of today's decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), over 80% of the 2.2 million people who are currently uninsured in Los Angeles County stand to gain access to affordable insurance coverage.
In addition to those who will be newly eligible for Medi-Cal, three-quarters of a million additional County residents will be able to purchase affordable health insurance through the state's health insurance exchange, take control of their health, and reduce pressure on our strained County-run health care system.
Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-Santa Clarita)
Obamacare is still a dangerous collaboration of bad legislating, smoke
and mirrors calculations and dangerous policy...Born from
intensely partisan, back-door deals and closed-room meetings, Obamacare is a boondoggle of historic proportions.
California Gov. Gerry Brown
Today's dramatic Supreme Court ruling removes the last roadblock to fulfilling President Obama's historic plan to bring health care to millions of uninsured citizens.
Elizabeth Benson Forer, executive director of Venice Family Clinic
With 7 million uninsured residents in California and 2.7 million people in Los Angeles County alone with no heath insurance, the Court's decision means California can move forward with fully implementing the Affordable Care Act and providing a health care system that truly works for all Californians. We thank President Obama for his leadership on this issue and applaud the Supreme Court for upholding the fact that health care is not a political or social issue—it's a basic human right.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
Today's ruling by the Supreme Court to uphold the basic provisions of the Affordable Care Act is a historic step forward for our country. Healthcare for each and every individual is not a privilege; it's a right. This morning's decision is a victory for all Americans, and I could not be prouder.
By upholding the Affordable Care Act the Supreme Court ensured 3.1 million young people – including 435,000 young Californians – will maintain their coverage. The Court's ruling protects Americans with preexisting conditions and provides them with access to the safe and secure healthcare options that were once out of reach. By ruling that those people who can afford to buy insurance have an obligation to do so, the Court has reaffirmed the bedrock principle of personal responsibility. And most importantly, the Court's ruling moves our nation one step closer to the ultimate goal of providing healthcare for all. More than 30 million Americans will gain affordable health care with the enactment of this bill. This is a momentous achievement that should be rightly celebrated.

Excellant hotel on south beach, really needs bigger beds! The room is huge but bed not so..Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"One of the best Boutique hotels on South Beach"
It's towards the north end of the strip on Ocean Drive, right across the street from the beach. We had a beach front view from our room which was really nice. It's far enough north to not be too hectic, but still close to all the action. The hotel is old but was recently renovated and looks beautiful. We were upgraded from a studio to a suite when we […] arrived, and the staff was very courteous, helpful and attentive. The room was clean and nicely designed and we had everything we needed. The bed and pillows were decently comfortable. We had a good nights sleep and a relaxing weekend. There is a free continental breakfast on the roof every morning which is basic, but for the price an added bonus. We were very pleased with this property and will be returning again.

Booked two ocean view rooms. Stayed in two average rooms looking onto roof tops and construction. We did get a bottle of wine in exchange. I guess if you drank enough wine you could imagine the ocean.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Great hotel"
I had a great stay. The only problem that I had was, I bought $115.00 in groceries(that I couldn't use) because I didn't have the full kitchen in my room like the picture showed, but I did have a kitchenette. Overall the hotel experience and services were GREAT. Location was great. The hotel is directly across the street from the beach, and walking […] distance to Lincoln Mall.

"Miami fling!"
It is a fab hotel and hard to beat. Service is tops. Location is fab. Everything was great. Except for one thing I felt was not 100% - but this may not bother other guests: I booked and paid for a room upgrade. I believe to something with a sea view advertised as "Deluxe studio ocean view". And on arrival was given a room on the 5th floor. Which leaves […] you with a view of "the kitchen area". You can kind of see the sea poking out in the edges. But not really... And then you get the noise of the staff setting up for breakfast outside your room before 7am. Which is a fairly early wake up call everyday on holiday. The room was still fab and none of these things detracted from what is overall a GREAT place to stay - EXCEPT that I don't like paying for something that says one thing 'on the tin' but in the real world is something else entirely. Advertising and selling those 5th floor rooms as ocean view is a bit 'low'. Otherwise it was a fantastic place to stay. I think if they change those 5th floor rooms to sold as standard rooms - then I'd recommend it to anybody. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Nice hotel, lovely guest service."
It's right off the ocean yet relatively peaceful. The staff is very warm and friendly. I would recommend the hotel. Close to all the night life as well as the ocean. We are returning next year! Great for people with children as the room sizes are massive since it was originally a condominium that was converted into a hotel. The units come with a small […] and well equipped kitchenette and the bathrooms are nice too. Lot of room. A four seater breakfast table, a sofa set and lots of usable space. For the rates, its a great bargain. We loved our stay. Try not venturing out too much beyond Washington street later in the night though! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Completely amazing"
The Edgewater Hotel is exactly as it is shown here on Expedia. It's so clean, quiet, close to everything (food & entertainment). The staff were so friendly and quick to respond to calls. Happy Hour was nice & on the rooftop everyday from 6pm-7pm. Breakfast was nice as well and on the rooftop from 7-10am. The morning rooftop Breakfast was so refreshing. […] We're already planning our next anniversary trip back to the Edgewater Hotel. Also the 1400 block of Ocean Dr is the quietest. All the partying is from the 1200 block down. You'll be glad you stayed here! Oh! The Beach is directly across the street. Not even a 4minute walk. They have complimentary beach chairs & beach towels for guests to check out!

This hotel is in a perfect location, across the street from the beach on a quieter spot on Ocean Drive. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet.

Great hotel, good location just across the road from the beach and centrally located without being too noisy. Room was spacious and clean although a bit dusty in places! Didn't think the extras such as 'happy hour' were worth it. Desk staff were very helpful and dealt with all queries efficiently. Would stay again as very centrally located and convenient […] for beach, shopping and restaurants.

"Great except for closet space."
Good location. Our room did not face the ocean. The room was not designed very efficiently, in that closet space was limited. There were cabinet spaces above the bed but they were hard to reach. The hotel does not have a restaurant. Otherwise the place was excellent.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Pleasantly surprised -- a very relaxing hotel"
It was a delight to stay here. It is a small, quiet hotel -- no large groups of screaming drunk twentysomethings to keep you up at all hours -- yet in the middle of South Beach. The room was modern, clean, and well-kept. I had a great view of Lummus Park and the beach from my 3rd floor room. The resort fee is reasonable -- my main complaint is that […] the "beach chairs" are the small backpack kind. It is better to pay $10 to rent a chair from the vendors on South Beach. But the nightly Happy Hour on the rooftop patio is nice and the staff is extremely nice and accommodating. I did not try the breakfast or the restaurant -- there are many other options available within short walking distance. A very good value and a very nice hotel.

"The Nicest staff and cleanest Hotel!!!"
My wife and I stayed in the middle of December, we had an Ocean view room. First I must say that a few of the hotel staff was exceptionally nice and friendly (Andre, at the front desk, and Johnny, at the breakfast bar). The room was large and very clean, our view was not exactly what I expected when it says "ocean view" that would be my only problem […] with the hotel, you really get a view of the breakfast area and over the wall is the ocean. But the breakfast area was wonderful and Johnny who is there with the breakfast bar was very friendly. Our bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was nicely modeled with marble floors and walls. Andre at the front desk was very well informed about the area, and also spoke to me as though we were best friends. I couldn't have asked for a nicer staff.

"Best Way to Enjoy South Beach"
We stayed in one of the ocean view studios overlooking the terrace where they serve breakfast and have their cocktail hour. Our original room was comfortable, very spacious and had a balcony with seating. The day after we checked in they upgraded us to an ocean-view one bedroom suite because they needed to access our room to work on the air-conditioning. […] They sent someone up to help us move right away, waiving the resort fees as well for the inconvenience. I can't tell you how fantastic it was staying in the room they moved us to. It had a private deck with cushioned seating and the perfect spot to lie down and enjoy the sun. The staff was incredibly friendly. We never left or arrived without someone at the desk greeting us or wishing us a good day. This was a birthday trip that turned into and engagement trip. So when I showed the concierge my ring he sent up a complimentary bottle of Chardonnay. I can't praise this place enough. The hotel is right on the beach. It's close to everything you could want or need whether you are there to hit clubs or just chill on the beach and go shopping. The rooms are soundproofed to help drown out the external noise. And you are far enough from the thumping coming from the clubs that you can still enjoy sitting outside. The only down side, and it is a minimal minus, is the stylish yet weird shower that gets water everywhere. We threw down our used towels and housekeeping took care of the rest so it wasn't a big deal. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

"Great location- room for improvement"
Top floor ocean views overlook the terrace where breakfast and happy hour drinks are served 6-10am and 5-6pm daily - the times you are in your room - so waking up to an oceanview and sunrise are out unless you don't mind everyone seeing into your room! Room size fantastic but style over function in furnishing. Our "wardrobe" was a TV unit with a rail […] - not long enough to hang a shirt. The bedbase is 6 inches wider than the mattress - we both banged our ankles several times.Although the funiture is stylish the bedside lamp is so tall you have to get out of bed to put it off! The elevator beeps on every floor this can be disruptive to sleep.Kitchens have a fridge, hotplate, microwave, a coffee maker with coffee and 2 cups but, other than 8 glasses there are no utensils or plates. Continental breakfast is fresh daily but doesn't vary - we stayed 8 nights.Free wi-fi with printer in the foyer - great. Beach towels and chairs supplied. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful, but not forthcoming with information, they don't wear name badges which I found to be less personable and unaproachable. We arrived too early for our room wasn't told about the lounge area on the terrace we walked around for 3 hours, The breakfast set up was an unwelcome alarm daily (our room was close to the storage area) however the weekend staff were more considerate. Overall we enjoyed our stay but a bit more thought into staff training and room function would have improved our experience. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

Traditionally, at dinner, Chinese people sit in a circle at a round table while the dishes are placed in the middle of the table to be shared by all. In more health-conscious environments, only "public" chopsticks and spoons are used to remove food from the plates in the middle of the dining table, so as to prevent any possible spread of diseases. In China, a standard banquet usually consists of four to eight prepared cold dishes, eight hot dishes, two to four whole-size showpiece dishes (such as a whole fish, a whole chicken), as well as soup, steamed rice and pastries, and fresh fruit for dessert.
Often beer, yellow rice wine and strong white liquor are served at a Chinese banquet. During the meal, you can hear people saying "Gan Bei" when toasting each other, which means "cheers" or "bottom up". People "Gan Bei" to communicate the message that they are sincere and joyful. While Eating Like Chinese etiquette in other areas, if a foreign guest broke one or two of these rules it's not likely that a Chinese person would be offended. Many Chinese people are even impressed if non-asian foreigners can use chopsticks. - Do not play with your chopsticks. - Do not leave your chopsticks sticking out of your food. - Do slurp your soup. Chinese people don't mind some noise while eating. - If you are at a "feast" then you do not need to finish all the rice in your dish. - If you are eating a small meal with family then do finish the rice that you take. - Do leave bones, shells or other things you don't want to eat on your plate or on the table. - Do help yourself to the food. - Do not be too quiet. The Bill By breaking these rules you could potentially offend someone. In China the bill is payed once by one person and then next time by the other person and this process continues. Leaving some personal debt between friends, family or business contacts keeps the relationship strong and ongoing. - Do offer to pay the bill. - DO NOT split the bill. - You do not have to pay the bill. Usually if you are a guest of a Chinese person they will insist on paying the bill. - Do pay the bill the next time, or if you did pay the bill the first time then do let them pay the bill the next time. - Do not tip any of the restaurant staff. Rules for Drinking: Rules for drinking are less clear cut. The rules can vary based on the situation and can also based on which part of China you are drinking in. In general, people in Northern China drink more than people in Southern China. - If you are drinking beer and someone says "gānbēi" (干杯, dry the glass, cheers) to you, you should drink the whole glass. If you are not sure about that then just take their lead. - If you are drinking white liquor (白酒, báijiǔ) then just take a sip of liquor from the glass when you "gan bei" with somebody. - If you are with a group of people that you have just met you should "gan bei" to each of them individually. - Sometimes Chinese people will get drunk during supper. They can get just as drunk during supper and Kareoke as "wàiguórén" (外国人, foreigners) can during parties and at bars. - Having open liquor on the street is legal but it just doesn't look good. www.synotrip.com/china/food/quick-tips-on-dining-etiquette-760.shtml Thanks Demoore!

Indian and Himalayan Art Votive Stupa Made in Bodhgaya, Bihar, India, AsiaPala-Sena Dynasty (750-1100), c. 9th - 10th century Artist/maker unknown, India Schist * Gallery 231, Asian Art, second floor 1921-36-11 Purchased with the George W.B. Taylor Fund, 1921 |
LabelVotive stupas have survived in vast numbers in the Mahabodhi temple compound at Bodhgaya. The form of the stupa, with its distinctive domelike drum, originates in eight cylindrical structures in which the Buddha's relics were placed after his death. The stupa shape has become associated with the Buddhist goal of release from the cycles of suffering and rebirth. In addition to the drum, this stupa has a tiered base and is crowned with a series of stylized umbrellas that symbolize royalty and divine status. Although little is known about the uses of votive shrines and stupas, the larger ones at Bodhgaya were probably given by visiting kings, while smaller stupas such as this one were offered by monks and lay pilgrims.Social Tags [?]bhumisparsa mudra (touching earth) [x] touching earth (bhumisparsa mudra) [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Pan-Seared Shrimp with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze
We went through a really rough stretch a few months ago when we started trying to eat healthier dinners. I'd planned our meals for the week, and was genuinely excited about all of them. But one night after the next, we choked down something that was just barely edible - a super dry and bland pasta bake, buffalo chicken salad that wasn't nearly as exciting as it sounded, flavorless chili...the list goes on. It was oh so tempting to just pick up the phone and order pizza on a few of those nights. I'm sure Shane wished I had, but he was a really good sport about the whole thing.
We hit a breakthrough the night I made this pan-seared shrimp recipe. Shane and I each took our first bite, looked at one another and breathed a sigh of relief. Dinner was actually good for the first time all week! We've never gobbled up a meal quite so quickly :) I've since made the recipe at least three more times, just to confirm it wasn't a fluke, but this continues to be a favorite meal here.
There's so much to love about this recipe. First, it is literally one of the fastest dinners I've ever made. From start to finish we're talking maybe 10 minutes, if that, so it's perfect for any night of the week! Second, hoisin sauce. I continue to be completely obsessed with the stuff, the sweet and tangy combo just works for me. And perhaps best of all, at least in my book, it's low in calories and the portion size is quite large. It always leaves me feeling satisfied!
Pan-Seared Shrimp with Ginger-Hoisin Glaze
barely adapted from America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
pinch red pepper flakes
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/8 teaspoon sugar
4 teaspoons canola oil
2 scallions, thinly sliced (to garnish)
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, water, ginger, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Set aside. Spread the shrimp on a double layer of paper towels and pat the tops dry with additional towels (you want both sides good and dry!). Season both sides with salt and pepper, as well as the sugar.
Set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until shimmering. Add half of the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 1 minute per side, or until they are cooked through and browned on both sides. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and the other half of the shrimp.
When the second batch of shrimp are cooked, add the first batch back to the pan along with the hoisin sauce. Toss the shrimp until they've all been coated with the sauce. Garnish with the scallions when serving (we like to serve over rice).

Would you look at this beautiful savory dish! ;)
It looks great! And I'm impressed by how quick it is. I'm trying to eat healthy but there are some things that I just need. Like lasagna, fried chicken and lots of pizza. Healthier versions of these things just aren't the same (whole grain pizza is nice but sometimes I want a Pizza Hut pan pizza). So I make these things and just force myself to eat a lot of vegetables before I get to the good stuff and it fills me up.

Love this! I'm on an Asian food kick lately so this is right up my alley! And I totally relate to the healthy = bland thing. My husband wants Paleo food every night but neither of us ever like it that much!

From wheelchair ramps and handicapped parking to simple offerings such as large print books and good signage – these are some of the things that make a library's physical space accessible. But what about the library's online presence?
This webinar will shed light on some of the common barriers faced by certain users and will provide techniques for identifying and fixing the problems.
By the end of the one-hour webinar, participants will:

I bought this to put air in my cars tires. Works as advertised. I have not tried my small power tools with it yet.

The compressor is light and not louder than it should be.

It works fine. It just has to be filled up, but that is very fast.

Just purchased this compressor with a 3 year replacement warranty. Plugged it in and the compressor was leaking air from behind the black cover. Could not get pressure above 80lbs. Quite disappointed that I know have to trek back to sears and get a replacement. I've read other reviews with this exact same problem. Hopefully sears read these reviews and report these issues back to their manufacturers and their qc teams. I certainly expect more from a craftsman product.

This 4 gallon pancake works like it should so far. Only had for a small trim project, but worked good. Will have to see about longevity.

Has worked perfectly, with no set up or rigamarole. Would have liked for it to have included at least a tire inflation tip--had to buy that seperately.

It works well and runs a lot of air tools.

I bought this compressor to roof my garage. I didn't want a big compressor, but one big enough to do the job. We were only running one nailer and it kept up without any problems. I did a break-in procedure on it at the urging of the salesperson and it seems to have paid off. It runs wonderfully and holds air without any leaking whatsoever. I would certainly recommend this compressor for small jobs and for use around the garage.
