Lol june... Yes we have been here posting right under your nose...
Sadly though I am away for now.. I'm 1Omiles from home and dinner is at 5pm,, BST.
I want to stop at a shop and get a couple of bottles of vino as all of the relatives that live locally are coming to visit tonight..
Thanks for the pics Fish.. So pleased to see you. BFN Jag.
Bi Brian, have a good night, enjoy the wine and the craic with your relatives.
So meanwhile, back at the nest, again, at 10:13 hearing four LOUD cheeps I brought up the cam to find an empty nest. At 10;18 more cheeps announce the arrival of EJ(?) - sorry haven't been paying very close attention. Now at 10:40 EJ sits on the eggs, qquietly looking about.
Hi All,
JUNE I'm amazed that you have never seen a flock of swans.. we saw them everywhere on our holiday in march at Suffolk and surrounding areas, I took some nice footage of a flock swimming towards me and turned to my left just as another flock were flighing into land on the water... it was brilliant! then another day somewhere else I had to run for cover as some came running over as I got some bread out to feed the ducks and geese.. my OH was in stitches and said he'd never seen me move so fast! LOL He is doing a slideshow when he's got time, if you would like to see it when it's done I will put it on.. I don't want to bore anyone with lots of film so it will only go on by request. i will let you know when it's ready but it will be at least a week away.
BJag ~ Have a great night with your gathering of relatives... I hope you don't go home with too much of a hangover! lol ENJOY! :)
10:53 Cheepng calls me back to find TWO birds on the nest, with fish. One takes the fish and flies away, leaving Odin (forehead pattern) to take over the eggs.
Hi June,How ya doing honey (southern greeting) nice to see Odin in the sun,but looks breezy at LG.
Hi Lowry, your little quote above brought back a lovely memory for me, of friends we have who live in Florida who have visited & stayed with us many times, and he used to say "I said to Ma Honey", and we would chuckle as they were in their 80's, sadly "Ma Honey" isnt here any longer, so your little line to June brought back fond memories.
Hi Mary,that's the South Carolina greeting,then when you are leaving it's Love ya honey,love ya too.
Hi Lowry, LOL - Nice "Honey" talk here.
June must be out shopping now she has disappeared, which I should be doing, I have been trying to get things done all afternoon and I am still here. LOL
Cam seems to be down just now.
NiteOwl said: JUNE I'm amazed that you have never seen a flock of swans.. we saw them everywhere on our holiday in march at Suffolk and surrounding areas,
LOL, NiteOwl, but I'm not in Suffolk. I'm in southern Ohio USA. :)
Cam back on,and seems to be clearer to me now.
June hadn't gone shopping, just getting a bite to eat. Wonderful visiting this morning (it's still , well just now 12 noon sharp). Lowry, I particularly enjoyed yours and mary's honey talk. But I must go now; other things call.
I thought it looked a better picture but thought perhaps I was imagining things

Online Reservations
Buccan is #1 on our special occasion list. It can get a bit pricey but the food is delicious and the service is great.
We found Buccan on yelp and it had great reviews. We are local but had never been to the restaurant before - and we have been missing out! The food is delicious, the presentation is flawless, the service is impeccable. I can't wait for my in-laws to get here next month so we can take them back for dinner. Every dish that came out, my husband and I said "oh this is the best ever!" We had a beautiful anniversary and will be back soon! Thanks so much!
Definitely top tiered trendy Palm Beach restaurant. Food was great. Fun, energetic vibe. Brussel sprouts caesar was different and tasty. Flounder was excellent. Good cocktails. Chocolate Chip cookies could've used a scoop of ice cream with them!
Food is so good it is intoxicating. Amazing creativity..dishes you would never select end up being your all time favorites.
The food and service were very good. We started with marini's at the bar, where the service was fast and professional. We tried multiple tapas including the short-rib empanada, duck leg, orichetta, and steak tare-tare; which were all very good. The portions, even for tapas, were very small, but it allowed you to try many things. The food was also pricey, so while good to try many items, it will cost you, as they suggest 2-3 items per person.
Buccan is an outstanding restaurant . Chef Conley is to be commended for his creativity and flawless execution . In addition our waiter Steve made us feel at home and added to what was truly a dining experience we will long remember. We have had the privilege of dining in many exceptional restaurants. Buccan clearly ranks among the finest .
Great food, small plates that make you want to keep on ordering all night long. Our waiter was fabulous - witty and entertaining and attentive to our requests. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to return to buccan or imoto.
The entire place was hopping with such positive energy it was utterly delightful. The staff was very pleasant & truly appeared happy to be working there. Clearly the place to be & be seen at a fraction of the price of the Breakers. Steak tartar is a favorite (beating out many from French locations) and I might have to try and mimic the Brussels Ceasar at home. The Short Rib Empanadas were fabulous & the Squid Ink Orecchiette I had to try. I would have ordered a seconds if I wasn't already so full! The mushroom flat bread we added because we new it just had to be lovely and what we couldn't finish made a wonderful snack the next day. The affordability of the menu allowed us to splurge on wine. Perfect for 2 foodies enjoying an anniversary.
I have lived in S. Florida from the NE for 5 years and Buccan has the best food I have found down here! Highly recommended!!
This was definitely the best experience we've had in West Palm Beach, Florida. The service, food and wine were outstanding. We really got lucky because we happened to go on a night that the wine was half off so we went all out. Great time with loved ones. We will definitely go back during our next trip.
This was a great experience. The restaurant is a bit large, but yet it feels cozy. The service was exceptional and the food was excellent. The brussel cesar and the hamachi sashimi dishes were bright notes with just enough balance of texture and richness. The one-prawn scampi was simply decadent. The quail has beautiful presentation and is perfectly cooked. The short rib empanada was also good, but I probably wouldn't order it again since the other dishes were soooo great. One dish, the cervana sashimi was just a little too acidic for us. Overall an A+ evening. I'll be back!
Nothing to say about the food it was delicious, good service, the price are not that high considering we are in PB. The crowd is made off 25-45 yo extremely wealthy who want to be seen. It is a bit loud and do not sit by the open kitchen if you do not want to smell like French fries (which are absolutely amazing by the way)
This was our third time having dinner here. The food is wonderful. I strongly recommend the brussel sprout Caesar. Quite inventive and tasty. But, really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great vibe as well.
i have been to buccan 3 times in the past 6 weeks. on this visit every dish was excellent and well prepared. The last trip was disappointing even for some of the same items. They need to continue to work on consistency in the kitchen and on the service
Fantastic food and much appreciated creativity. A must place for foodies. Great service.
Love eating at Buccan, tapas style. The steak tartare is superb as well as the short rib empanadas!
Great food. We ordered a large number of small plates each of which was better than the last!! Great meal The main courses looked good too, but we never got that far
Buccan never disappoints. Creative, innovative dishes. The wait staff was super attentive and very helpful in dealing with our food allergies. We had a wonderful time. We always do at Buccan.
I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli and it was fabulous, great flavor, it was amazing! My husband order the hanger steak and it cooked to perfection.
Excellent, exciting, beautiful food expertly and graciously served with a stellar, carefully chosen wine list. All this in a fun, hip spot. Need I say more!
This time pleased as always. A night out with good friends, delicious wine, and great food is always a recipe for success! This dinner was no exception. Buccan is our spot for entertaining out of town guests, our "California Foodie" had nothing but wonderful things to say! David A was superb! We will be back for sure!
Was taken here for my birthday. When we first walked in, the scene was a little busier (and louder) than I had anticipated for the area, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, the food was very good, but the service was excellent. I mentioned to the waiter that I liked bourbon, and he had the bar manager come speak to me to make a few recommendations. It's seems like a small thing, but that attention to detail is what truly makes an evening an experience.
We dine at Buccan regularly. It is always delicious, fun, and exciting. We also see Chef/owner Clay Conley there regularly, too! He's clearly got the right recipe for making and keeping a trend-setting restaurant in top form. Not only is the menu exciting but everyone who works there is super well-informed as well as super friendly.
Enjoyed the small plate samples even tho there were a bit pricey. Moderate noise level and the tables for two were very close to each other(knew this in advance). Great Martinis
The service, ambience and food were impressive. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. The octopus and zucchini blossoms were to die for. The beet salad, as always, was incredible. We loved the fig appetizers so much that we ordered two!
Always a pleasure dining at Buccan ... great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and consistent polished service from a professional and friendly team of wait staff.
although I found it a bit noisy the food and service is so wonderful that I had to overlook the one flaw.It was a wonderful experience to have a tasting of such delicious foods we can't wait to return with more people to try all the foods we didn't have room for.Not to leave out the wonderful wine we had which was reccommended by our waiter and the desserts,not to be missed.
Buccan was fantastic! The meu was inspired, interesting, and everything tasted magnificent. I highly recommend the Squash Blossoms and Short Rib Empanadas. The service was excellent. Mike was attentive, fun, funny, and made our experience relaxed and enjoyable. Great atmosphere-cool decor, not at all stuffy or hoity toity. We will definitely be back.
Amazing different taste with each plate, great service it is our favorite
Creative menu. Small plates, with generous portions, fairly priced. The Thursday night special of champagne and oysters was excellent. We love the service, as well as the superb Oysters Rockerfeller, the $10- glass of L-P champagne. the excellent fried cod, and the delicious pork taco. We will keep coming back, as there are so many more treats on the menu we want to try. One of our favorite places in Palm Beach.
We love this place! Food is always outstanding- never have had a bad meal which is an amazing restaurant feat in south florida. It can be crowded and noisy but the food is worth it. Didn't love having to wait for an hour with a large group for my husbands birthday w arrangements w the party planner, but we still keep going back for the food!!
Totally great restaurant- food and service are wonderful. You have to try the brussselsprout caesar salad! So clever- so tasty!
We chose Buccan's to celebrate my wife's birthday. We love to dine here because you can manage the amount you eat while enjoying several different creative dishes that you can pair with really excellent wine choices. We went on Monday because bottles of wine are half price and some selected wines are available at discounted prices by the glass, 1/2 or Full Carafe. What we ate was outstanding for us but it is hard to imagine that any taste preference would not be satisfied by the diverse, creative, well-prepared menu.
although Buccan was recommeded to us, we went without expectations... The evening ended up being memorable, f or both the service and the food preparation, We had deliciuos and perfectly prepared squash blossoms - which down the street at Cafe' Bouloud were heavy and overly done. The blossoms at Buccan where light and exquisite. The anchovies were a little lack-luster (could have used a bit more chili or vinegar?) but the pastas were outstanding. The gnocchi seemed home-made and had great texture; the brisket sauce was juicy and delicious. The pappardelle with speck, truffle sauce and fava beans were also outstanding. The wine list was reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again. And server was friendly yet discreet.
A unique menu - everything served was top drawer - creative and delicious - nothing too exotic but certainy not routine - any diner can find things that will amaze.
Went with my husband and sat at the bar. Small plates were awesome. Friendly atmosphere. Nice place to people watch. Many people were in their 30's and 40's. Been back twice. It's on my list.
Wonderful tuna and spicy pork as well as the mushroom pizza Fine bottle if adobe lane Always return for more
We were recommended this by some Friends locally the chef, ambiance, and Food amazing
Buccan is a food lover's dream but has lots of extra bonus points. It's got the right vibe that feels like you are in a place where all the beautiful people are eating. Service is impeccable, it's casual, fun and yet serious cooking that allows you to graze across many food categories. Reservations are difficult- so plan ahead.
The food was excellent. The small plates are absolutely delicious and great for sharing. Our party shared most of the small plates and we loved each one. Watch out for the deserts - they are addictive! All-in-all we have had a great evening every time we have dined at Buccan.
Wow what a surprise! A Palm Beach restaurant that has excellent food and great service and doesn't Cost a fortune . The menu choices go on forever and everything we had and the tables next to us had were outstanding. ( everyone becomes friendly in this place ) There are plenty of wines by the glass and of course a full cocktail menu Mostly young and active crowd - are we really in palm Beach? Try it, You will like it!
Every time we go to Buccan we have an amazing time; last night was no exception. Service was wonderful, wine was perfect, food was impeccable. We decided to take our favorite veteran out for Veteran's Day, and he was thrilled with the whole experience. Now when are we going back?!? We need some new people who haven't been there yet as an excuse to return soon!
Great food, excellent service - a wonderful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place. It is, however, rather loud - so maybe not the best place for a quiet romantic dinner. I had the hangar steak - perfectly cooked and placed on a pile of peppery greens and sweet tomatoes. For dessert, the chocolate chip cookies were phenomenal, and the waitress brought us a big glass of milk to top it off.
I have to say I am never disappointed when I eat here. The service, food (himachi and beet salad are my favorite) , and atmosphere never fail to impress.
I make it a point to visit every time I travel to Palm Beach. Great restaurant!
This was a superior experience in all respects. Waiter has been with Chef for a long time. Bar scene was amazing for an early Friday night, but very, very noisy...they were having fun. Restaurant is large, yet homey. Scent of the cooking was soooo yummy. Waiter made appropriate recommendations for what to order and how much. Two of us split one short rib empanada, a pork taco and grilled octopus and a white chocolate brioche dessert. Nothing pretentious here, just full rich flavors in every single bite. Could not have been a better choice.
The service was attentive, the food excellent and well presented and the atmosphere was great. We had a very nice evening with friends and would definitely recommend to others.
Mushroom pizza and squid ink pasta were great. Only disappointment was the fresh baked cookie.
The food, the wine, the staff, the setting. Yes, awesome about sums it up!
Great service, great food, and they barely missed a beat when the lights when out due to a blackout in the area. They had emergency lights and candles and we had just finished our cooked food so our meal was not effected. Standouts were the tuna tartar and hamachi sashimi. Service was flawless. And we didn't find it too noisy to have a conversation. We sat near the open kitchen which was fine. They opened the doors when the power went out, and there was a nice breeze as well. Highly recommend.

For the past year, I had been literally stuck to my work and for that reason, I had spent most of my time in Yerevan until May of this year when my agency, Deem Communications, was tasked to organize a Eurovision party in Vanadzor, Armenia's 3rd largest city. Since that date, I have been traveling in and around Armenia very regularly, either for business or pleasure, and have rediscovered my love for this beautiful piece of land.
In May 2011, I spent several days in this beautiful mountainous city. Once a vibrant industrial city, now a somewhat deserted and depressing place, Vanadzor reminds me a lot of what Yerevan used to be about 7 years ago. It is slowly coming out of the soviet era… key word is SLOWLY. Yes, there are businesses like the telecoms and banks and restaurant/café chains, but it is not at all doing well economically. In June, I had the pleasure of revisiting with another business trip (opening of Byblos Bank Armenia's new branch). The most necessary thing right now is HOPE. The youth and young families need to have their hopes restored so that the city becomes, like its older years, a pleasant place to live and to visit. The lush green hills, the wide and clean streets offer a perfect setting for it!
Shushi, Karabagh (NKR)
When my parents were visiting, we all went down to Shushi. The drive was quite long as they had forgotten their passports thinking that Karabagh and Armenia did not need a checkpoint, let alone a separate visa – but that is a separate blog of its own. The scenery during the drive was breathtaking. July is a really nice time to make this trip. On the way, we stopped by Mirhav Hotel in Goris. This hotel is done very tastefully; bravo to the owner, a barsgahay from Germany. Once in Shushi, we took in the crisp fresh air. Did a bit of hiking in the medieval fortress Armenian city. We heard stories from before the war, during the struggle, after the victory and now. Not all these stories were enjoyable as one can imagine. Nonetheless, they mark me every time; the man, the wife, his children, her family, his land, her future, his life… The nature in Karabagh is just perfect. I met some kids whom I had worked with during my Land and Culture Organization (LCO) years back in 1999 and 2001… they had grown so much. It was also nice to see that 2 new hotels had opened, the roads are being built and new stores are popping up here and there. There is even a "marchrutka" that comes by our neighborhood. Two years ago, I had the chance to work on reviving the museum in Shushi. I highly recommend a visit there when visiting Karabagh (though they have messed it all up again… eh, what to do). The director of the museum, Ashot, is also a character!
My oldest daughter was hounding us to take her to this ranch where she wanted to spend several nights. To my surprise, this place called Ayrudzi was one my favorite new discoveries along with the Ashtarak city Pascal and Diodato café! I think we have been back at least 15 times since July. They have great middle eastern dishes and a really wonderfully decorated space … and WIFI! The more I visited Ashtarak, the more I fell in love with its quaintness, lovely weather and many beautiful churches. During one trip last month, we dropped by Saghmosavank, an all time favorite of mine, which reminds me again of my earlier days in Armenia with the LCO.
Another business trip to Sevan for our new client Bohemian Resort. Needless to say, any trip to Sevan is just great. It is soothing and refreshing. It takes you away from all your thoughts and hustle-bustle of the city. I went back and for on different occasions over the summer… great great great! So great in fact, that in July, we organized Yeprad's baptism at Bohemian Resort. It was really a nice place to stay (although the rain prevented us from maximizing the 2 day stay). Prior to that, the entire Deem Team was invited for a staff retreat, which was exceptional!
After all the family visits and other duties Lara and I had to do, we decided we would need to get away from it all and be with the kids and only them for at least 4-5 days. Avan Tsapatagh from the Tufenkian Resorts is just the perfect place. The rooms are so nice and clean. The bed and couch are sooooo comfortable. The food is just good. The hikes up the mountain and to the lake are so relaxing… best experience in Armenian vacation destination. We used to spend much time there in 2004-2007… then, other neat places started popping up and we somehow forgot about this beautiful hotel. We really made the best of it and remembered all its unique attributes.
Another Best Western has opened in Dilijan. My agency was commissioned to do some creative and promotional work. The drive to Dilijan (not far from Sevan) is a special one with sceneries changing from rural to rocky mountainous to lakeside to green/lush mountainous… a photographers dream! We also visited Dilijan with my parents. Haghardzin… akh, what a beautiful ancient monastery it WAS. Yes, was! It has been commissioned to be renovated (not restored). It now looks like some new euro-stan trashy construction with white manufactured tiling… I do wish they decide it was a mistake and bring it back to what it used to be… a GEM! On this trip, we visited the new Tufenkian district (Old Dilijan). Deem had worked on some signage and the restoration of the museum. I am glad that the museum still is intact and has attracted many tourists since. Finally, we had coffee and desert at the Artbridge Café there. The kids loved this trip – we shall repeat!
This being said, after every trip outside of Yerevan, I always feel glad to be back – back HOME. Home to MY CITY, Yerevan!

About the Author: Cindy Huang serves as Senior Advisor to the Office of Global Hunger and Food Security Initiative.Feed the Future -- the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative -- continues to break ground in its comprehensive approach to address the crisis of hunger and undernutrition.
As I reflect on the past year, I'm proud to serve on the U.S. team that develops and implements Feed the Future in close partnership with governments, international organizations, the private sector, academia, and civil society. We need to harness the strengths of all sectors of society to make substantial progress in the fight against hunger.
To achieve measurable results, we are aligning our resources with country-owned plans and are fostering sustained, multi-stakeholder partnerships. As described in the Feed the Future Guide released last May, these are cornerstones of our strategy. We have welcomed and reviewed country-owned plans from countries as diverse as Rwanda and Bangladesh, Haiti, and Ghana. The international community has stepped up its coordination efforts and shifted efforts to support country-owned priorities. In addition, we have supported the role of regional organizations such as the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which are often in the best position to promote regional economic integration and development.
Support for women as agricultural producers and critical actors in creating a food secure world is central to our approach. As the Secretary said last May, "We're focusing on women -- the mothers, the farmers, the health workers, the community leaders whose insights and efforts can make the difference between a successful program and one that falls short." And, to ensure that we maximize the U.S. government's impact, we are developing multi-year strategies that will span development and diplomatic actions across multiple agencies.
Last year, Secretary Clinton also spoke about the need for innovative solutions, including research on drought-resistant seeds and vaccines that keep livestock healthy. She highlighted undernutrition as a major problem for which we have basic, affordable solutions, such as vitamin and mineral supplements, fortified foods, and nutrition education. At the UN Millennium Development Goals Summit, global leaders joined Secretary Clinton in declaring their commitment to scale up nutrition efforts that target the critical 1,000 day window of opportunity, from pregnancy to two years of age.
As we look to 2011, the food security team will continue to search for the best ways to leverage the expertise and resources of different U.S. government agencies in the fight against hunger and undernutrition. We will maintain a relentless focus on results so that our efforts and dollars yield a more prosperous and secure world. Most importantly, we will continue to forge and deepen relationships with private sector, civil society and government stakeholders, because we know that partnerships are at the heart of sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty.

NBA AM: Is Dwight Howard Staying Or Going?
Dwight Howard Handles His Business: The swarms of media at All-Star this weekend in Orlando did their very best to try and squeeze comments out of Dwight Howard. There was a concerted effort to try and extract any kind of trade commentary and Howard, who hasn't always helped his cause, stuck to the script and kept the story about the game and not about his future.
But that does not mean that Howard's future wasn't the most common topic in NBA circles, especially at the bevy of events Howards was a part of this weekend.
So here is what we know at this point:
No One Has A Promise: Sources in and around Howard made a point of making it clear that rumors of a commitment to Brooklyn were patently false.
What was said is that Howard plans to explore his options come July. Those options include talking with everyone out there and gauging which situations fit Howard's future goals best.
This includes remaining in Orlando, which Howard sources were adamant is still a very real possibility.
Friendships Are A Fragile Thing: The Miami HEAT were able to secure both LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010 because of their very close friendship with Dwyane Wade. He sold the duo on the possibilities in South Beach and both joined their friend and the rest is history.
There has been talk that Howard would like to join Deron Williams, and some have taken the friendship leap to the extreme. However sources cautioned that while Dwight and Deron are friends from their Team USA time together, they are not nearly as tight as LeBron and Wade were. There is a real sense that both Howard and Williams would welcome playing together but neither is going to commit just because of a friendship.
Each views a union in Brooklyn as a attractive, but there was a real sense that neither is as committed to Brooklyn as was once believed a month ago.
The Lakers Are Not In It: Trades and trade scenarios are a fluid thing, so things change just as a quickly as they start, but the story from All-Star was that the Lakers just are not in the hunt for Howard.
They have tried. There is no questioning the Lakers interest in obtaining Dwight Howard, but the deal is just not there said sources dialed into the process.
Magic CEO Alex Martins told Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel the rumor of a Howard trade with the Lakers and separate trade with the Raptors was patently false and that no such deal exists.
The Lakers could offer the most compatible package of assets in exchange for Howard, especially if a third team were involved. However sources close to the situation said that Howard to L.A. would require a commitment to stay beyond this year and Howard is not ready to do that for anyone.
That could always change in the next 17 days, but sources were adamant that having the option to choose and shape your situation surfaces only a few times in a players' career and Howard is not giving that up because of the impatience of other teams, including Orlando.
Steve Nash? It's been said a couple of times that Howard's camp has asked the Magic to pursue specific players and it's being reported that Phoenix's Steve Nash is the latest name added to the list.
Nash told reporters last night he understood he could be traded before the March 15th trade deadline, but was again clear he is not asking for a trade and feels it would be disrespectful to his teammates he loves to jump ship now.
Suns sources continue to say they would do a new two-year deal for Nash which is likely why he is staying so loyal, however it is clear that Orlando and several other teams including the Portland Trail Blazers have eyes for Nash.
League sources speculated that any deal involving Nash would have to send out at least two unfavorable Phoenix contracts – Hakim Warrick, Channing Frye and or Josh Childress come to mind.
The Magic's best trade assets are J.J Redick and Ryan Anderson. The question remains would Orlando really trade Anderson, as it seems he would have to be the center piece of any deal involving Nash who is in the final year of his deal worth $11.6 million.
Staying Is An Option: A recurring theme all weekend was that Dwight Howard staying in Orlando for at least another year was a real and viable option.
The story goes like this… currently there are roughly five teams that could sign Howard outright – New Jersey, Dallas, Indiana, Boston and maybe Sacramento.
How much bigger does the pool get if Howard waits another year? Does a better situation surface in a year? Can teams start dumping salaries to open up space for him?
But more importantly from a Magic point of view, it gives them a final year to deliver the change they have promised Howard since the start of training camp. Or it gives them the option to trade him before the start of next year and get real value for him, while Howard maximizes his money.
Opting in insures Howard gets his final $19.5 million contract year. If he opts out of his deal as almost everyone expects, he'll get a starting salary of $18.99 million.
It's not a huge number, but its more and sources close to Howard's camp say playing out his current deal remains an option.
Mom Is Not Making The Decision: TNT's Craig Sager reported during the game last night that Howard's mother has been pushing for Dwight to remain in Orlando.
This really is not news. Howard's family has long considered Orlando the best long-term fit; however Dwight has made it clear that he'll make his own decision when the time is right, but there is truth to the idea that Dwight's parents would like him in Orlando.
The Orlando Magic's position on Howard remains as it was before the All-Star break. They plan to meet with Howard in the next couple of weeks and gauge where Dwight's head is at. If they get the sense that Howard still wants out of Orlando, then they will explore deals to get the most value for themselves regardless of where Howard wants to be.
If Howard keeps the door open to staying, the Magic say they are willing to take the risk because Howard is a once in a generation player.
There is some poker to be played here, but the good news is the trade deadline is just 17 days away, so there will be closure in some fashion very soon.
Lin Provides The Blueprint: There is no doubting that the Jeremy Lin story has captivated the NBA and the sports world, but for players in the D-League, where Lin was playing just a few weeks ago, the Jeremy Lin story is further proof that sometimes all you need to do is fight and wait for your opportunity.
Marqus Blakely of the Sioux Falls Skyforce was named a D-League All-Star this year after competing in the skills competition last year.
Marqus, like many of the players in Orlando representing the D-League, is looking for his chance to prove he belongs in the NBA.
"It's definitely eye-opening and motivating," said Blakely of Lin's rise to stardom. "To see him on that big stage; how he kind of overnight blew up into Linsanity, the whole Linsation. I'm happy for him and I'm glad that he's got that opportunity; he was able to try and had that opportunity. As of right now with the rest of the season I'm focused on just getting better and being more consistent and working on my weaknesses while trying to get a call-up. Right opportunity, right time, it will hopefully come."
Marqus was labeled during the NBA Draft process as an undersized power forward, however since the draft Marqus as transformed his body and his game into a proto-typical small forward and is having great success.
Marqus has been averaging 13 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in the D-League. That was good enough for an All-Star berth.
"It's the closest that you can get, getting to the NBA I mean," explained Blakely. "The whole process of getting here, being an All-Star is great, being a part of All-Star Weekend is great. I made it this year and I'm excited to be here, a lot of good guys around, a lot of fun."
Maybe it was the Jeremy Lin effect, but this year's D-League game featured a lot of NBA executives who were scouting for possible call-ups.
"There are a lot of scouts and GMs out here. Everybody is looking for their next Jeremy Lin," joked Blakely. "This is a place to find it at the All-Star game with a lot of talent, East and West, there are a lot of teams from top to bottom that have a lot of talent and then hopefully, not just me, but a lot of these other All-Stars can be called up to the NBA."
Marqus is no stranger to the NBA process. He was with the L.A. Clippers in training camp last season and the Houston Rockets picked him up at the end of last season and brought him to camp this year.
With teams looking to add additional support for a playoff push. Marqus is simply waiting for his number to be called.
"You definitely need to wait for your chance," explained Marqus. "You can only do things that you can control which is work out and get better every day. Heart and hard work is where that comes from and just to be able to not get down on yourself if something goes wrong. If you get cut from training camp or you don't make a team, don't have a good game, whatever, you've just got to bounce back and go right back at the grind. If you sit there and feel sorry for yourself you're going to miss a lot of opportunities and that's what it's about, opportunities."
There is no doubting Jeremy Lin's instant success has opened the eyes of NBA teams, and for Marqus Blakely he just hopes he can get his own opportunity to prove his worth.
"It's just a reminder that coming out of college I was an under the radar type of player," said Marqus. "My whole mentality whenever I play is to kind of prove them wrong and I'm not talking about GMs or scouts, I'm talking about the other team too. That happens with hard work and hustle so that's why I feel I've gotten to this point because I'm able to keep myself on that one track, not really diverge from it."
Marqus has played in 68 D-League games and is a career 58.5% field-goal shooter. He has averaged 13.4 points and 5.6 rebounds and was a scorching 81.8% from the field during Saturday's D-League All-Star game.
He may not be the next Jeremy Lin, but he does look like a future NBA player for sure… all he needs is his opportunity.
Aldridge Ready For The Second Half: Trail Blazer forward LaMarcus Aldridge finally got the respect he has earned being named to and playing in his first NBA All-Star game.
LaMarcus joked about his limited minutes last night saying he understood he was backing up Oklahoma City Thunder forward and 2012 All-Star MVP Kevin Durant, so the minutes would be scarce, but with the mid-season festivities out of the way he's ready to get back to work in Portland.
"I didn't sit around here," said a smiling Aldridge. "I've been moving and running and eating so I think it's going to be easier to go back to doing that than doing this weekend. This weekend I was doing so much and didn't have any time to really sit around. I think when I get back to the season I have nap time and all that type of stuff."
The next couple of days will involve some rest and travel, but there won't be many vacation days for Portland's most valuable player.
"Tonight is go home," detailed LaMarcus. "Tomorrow is rest and do cardio. Tuesday is do cardio and fly to Portland and then fly from Portland to Denver. Tuesday [is] practice and then Wednesday is play a game."
The Blazers have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the West after a strong start to the season. Lineup changes and a shift in personnel have helped, but word is former Blazer big man Joel Przybilla passed his physical with the team this weekend and could sign as early as today. He could help lighten the load along the frontline for Portland.
"That's good. We definitely could use another big," said Aldridge."[He] knows our system and he's a real tough guy down low so I think he's definitely going to make us better."
The Blazers continue to be a bubble playoff team, sitting at 18-16 on the season which is a half a game up on Denver and a full game up on Minnesota for the eighth playoff spot in the West.
Aldridge does not see that changing any time soon.
"We're in the eighth spot," proclaimed Aldridge. "Yah, so we're in the playoffs right now. That's what I'm trying to say, so of course I see us as a playoff team. We have a great team with a lot of good guys. We've just got to figure out how to put it all together.
"I think we've found the good lineup now with all the changes that we've made so I think now this lineup has to go prove it every night and be more consistent."
The Blazers have 32 games left on the season, featuring 14 teams with a record above .500 and 21 games versus Western Conference teams. The Blazers have 17 home games left and face the Denver Nuggets in Denver on Wednesday.

Iowa church blesses Missouri River in Sunday ceremony
SIOUX CITY (AP) — The Missouri River has received a special blessing from an Iowa church that hopes the ceremony will make the river holy and reduce flooding and drought.
The Sioux City Journal reports Father Lucas Rice led a group of congregants from St. Thomas Orthodox Church in Sioux City in the ceremony on Sunday.
In 2012, communities all along the river in Iowa and Nebraska experienced severe drought. The year before, flooding along the Missouri caused widespread damage.

Rio Theatre
1205 Soquel Avenue,
Santa Cruz,
3 people favorited this theater
The Rio Theatre, which was built in 1949, has now reopened as a performing arts center. The Rio was purchased from United Artists before the giant theater chain filed for bankruptcy.
Recent comments (view all 14 comments)
I first attended the Rio in 1975, for a revival of "2001: A Space Odyssey," paired with the European animated science fiction fantasy, "Fantastic Planet." At this time the Rio's auditorium was draped in crimson soundfold, and this is the look I knew during all the years I went to shows there. However, a longtime resident of the Santa Cruz area said that before the soundfold was applied to the walls, there were murals depicting women being attended by nymphs or putti or somesuch. I'm wondering if anyone will ever confirm the existence of these murals. I remember the tiered lotus wall fixtures with lighting in red and blue that I mentioned in an earlier post, and there was originally a blue-lit neon clock to the right of the screen. Also, during my earliest visits there, overstuffed couches still remained in the lobby, and there was at least one framed painting on the wall, which was clearly of 1940s vintage, depicting a vase and a bowl of fruit. Also, there was a mirror mounted in the front of the concession stand, which had a silkscreened image of a smiling woman, advertising a soft drink, probably Coca-Cola. The mirror was suffering from some oxydation of the silver and paint on its back.
If one looks closely at the first of the two photos linked to Lost Memory's April 27 post, a hand painted poster in the display case can be seen, inviting Mothers to make use of the Rio's Cry Room. I remember this poster, which was hand painted. I have no idea how old it was. Usually it was displayed in a freestanding poster case in the lobby, just inside the entrance doors to the left as you walked in.
According to the history page on this theater's official website, this theater was specifically built to house a "Cycloramic" screen and opened as the Rio Cycloramic Theatre. The screen was supposed to create the illusion of depth. It sounds a great deal like Cinerama. Does anyone know anything about these Cycloramic screens?

This was expanded on by Fouquet, Noonan, Blanc, and Orrico, 2011, Zootaxa, 3035: 59-67, who found the Dendropsophus parviceps group to be polyphyletic, one part (Dendropsophus schubarti) to be close to the Dendropsophus marmoratus group, another part (Dendropsophus parviceps, Dendropsophus koechlini, and Dendropsophus brevifrons) to be basal to the bulk of other Dendropsophus and a third array of species (Dendropsophus allenorum and Dendropsophus giesleri) to be in polytomy at the base of Dendropsophus along with Xenohyla. They also found the Dendropsophus minimus group to fall into two groups, Dendropsophus riveroi within the Dendropsophus microcephalus group and the other part to be the sister taxon of the Dendropsophus microcephalus group. (Dendropsophus minimus was not included in the analysis so the status of the name is unclear---DRF.) Motta, Castroviejo-Fisher, Venegas, Orrico, and Padial, 2012, Zootaxa, 3249: 18-30, also found the Dendropsophus parviceps group to be nonmonophyletic. See account of unnamed species in Surinam by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 128-129.

I really like the Sublime Text editor but i am giving some trouble with it.
I am an enthusiat programmer, so i am not master.. but it doesn't matter. I am studying the Python language and i had to used the IDLE of the own Python.
It has a auto-ident. Ok. I think we know it.
But, when i migrated to Sublime Text last version i find all things awesome.
The highlightning and other features.
But when i write the code in Sublime Text and open in the Python IDLE, it gives a weird ident. I don't know if the code get problem with the higher identation or its okay. But it seems the Sublime Text do a ident block with spaces.
Here i have an image of my own script written in the Sublime Text and opened with the Python IDLE and the script written in the own iDLE.
I am here to ask how can i solve this problem or help you guys to improve it!

2 Green Line trolleys collide, dozens injured
Posted: 11/29/12 at 12:10 pm Updated: 11/30/12 at 9:26 am
Tags: MBTA Boylston Street Boston
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Two Green Line trolleys collided just before 12 p.m. Thursday, injuring dozens.
Officials said one two-car trolley rear-ended another two-car trolley, which was unloading passengers at the Boylston MBTA Station. There was no derailment or visible damage on the trolleys.
The MBTA is calling the accident a "low-speed bump," but the collision sent passengers flying. T officials said they ruled out problems with the signals and tracks, leading them to believe there was a problem with the trolley itself or it was human error that caused the crash.
7News has learned the driver of the second trolley which rammed into the first trolley did not have a cellphone with him, therefore texting and driving was ruled out as a possible cause of the crash.
"The other train hit us from behind. It felt like getting rear ended in a car, only on a larger scale," said Corinne Conley, an Emerson College student. "Luckily I was holding on, but everyone around me went flying forward."
Conley said her train was pretty full as people were still getting on, she said people were crying and some were bleeding when the two trains hit, though the injuries were minor.
"One of my friends was getting on the train, on the stairs, when it hit and she fell down the stairs into other people. She hurt her knee and her arm and her head," said Conley.
Some passengers complained of back and neck pain, but no life-threatening injuries were reported. EMTs set up a triage area outside the station, some people were on backboards with neck braces. Boston EMS said at least 35 people needed to be treated; at least nine of those passengers were taken away on stretchers.
Several passengers were checked out inside an MBTA bus, which was brought in to provide warmth. Some of those people also ended up in ambulances.
"Another 26 we evaluated for minor injuries -- bumps, contusions, they're all adults -- 35 total were evaluated," said Chief Jim Hooley, of Boston EMS.
Three MBTA employees, including both operators, were among those transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
The accident will be investigated by the Transit Police. It is too early to tell the cause, but the State's Secretary of Transportation promises a thorough investigation.
"We will look at the mechanical issues, if there were any on the train. We'll look at potential signal or track issues as we always do and we will look at operator error," said Richard Davey, the Secretary of Transportation.

At the moment, there's plenty of water and you can expect to pay more for it this year.
This winter's rain and snow has filled the region's reservoirs nicely. At the same time, water districts in the East Bay have either raised their rates or are planning to do so.
The Contra Costa Water District raised rates by 3.5 percent last week. The East Bay Municipal Utility District has raised rates by 6 percent the past two years. They'll hold hearings this spring on whether to increase rates again on July 1.
On Thursday night, the Alameda County Water District will hold a hearing on a proposal to raise their rates by 17 percent. The hike, if approved, would increase an average homeowner's monthly water bill by $7.50.
The increase will raise $8 million a year. Walt Wadlow, the district's general manager, said the money will go directly to the district's perpetual program to replace its 800 miles of pipelines.
The program costs $10 million a year. Wadlow said they're replacing about 10 miles of pipe each year, so it'll take an estimated 80 years to finish. The pipes' life expectency is about 80 years, so once this project is done, they'll have to start all over.
"It's an ongoing project. It's like painting the Golden Gate Bridge," said Wadlow.
The district's water supply is in good shape. They get 40 percent of their water from the Alameda Creek watershed. Another 40 percent comes from the State Water Project. The final 20 percent is Hetch Hetchy Reservoir water purchased from San Francisco.
All three water systems have above normal water supplies for this time of year.
EBMUD's water supply also looks good. The district's report this week shows that its reservoirs are at almost 80 percent capacity with the typically wet months of January and February still ahead.
More than 600,000 acre-feet of water is in the reservoirs. That's more water than the district typically uses in a two-year period.
Charles Hardy, EBMUD spokesman, said the district is still conservative when it comes to water usage. He notes you never want to assume rain and snow will continue to fall.
"Mother Nature is in charge at the end of the day," he said.
During the past two years, EBMUD's rates have risen 6 percent on each July 1. The board usually holds hearings in the spring and then votes in May whether to raise rates. It's not known yet what they'll do this year.
"We don't have a set rule that rates go up," Hardy said.
However, Hardy said water may be free, but distributing it to the district's 1.3 million customers isn't. He said water service is an expensive industry with the cost of chemicals, fuel, salaries, equipment and pipe repair all on the rise.
He notes EBMUD is a public entity with no profit margin and no shareholder dividends.
"The rates are a real number for us to do business," he said.
Contra Costa Water District officials say they face similiar pressures in delivering drinkable water. The district board approved a 3.5 percent hike last week, noting a six percent increase in operating costs.
The district gets most of its water from the San Joaquin Delta, so there's never a shortage of liquid. The big issue in the CCWD is how salty the water will be. In dry years, saline ocean water pushes farther inland.
Jennifer Allen, district spokeswoman, said so far this year CCWD's water supply is in healthy shape.
"It's looking good," she said.

Commentary: $250 million for rural electricity improvements a smart move
Last week, nine rural electric cooperatives received loan guarantees to improve their electric systems. Cooperatives in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, North Carolina and Wisconsin will use the money to develop a smart grid. By upgrading their systems they can save energy. This means homes and business will save money on electric bills.
A smart grid also makes electricity more reliable. This means fewer outages, and shorter blackouts. By improving their infrastructure, rural electric co-ops help make rural America stronger. And they are creating jobs. Contractors and tradespeople will be needed to upgrade power lines and install smart grid technology. This means more money in our rural economies.
In the Midwest, most of the funds are going towards transmission infrastructure and environmental improvements. But in addition to saving energy and money, these transmission projects will boost renewable energy efforts.

An Israeli patent is the form of protection offered for an invention that meets the "regular" requirements known from other patent systems: Novelty, Inventive Step and Industrial Applicability.
THe Israeli patent system resembles that of the UK, and the patentability requirement resembles those of Europe, but most Israeli Patent Attorneys are stongly influenced by the US law. This is due to the fact that Israel enjoys the largest number of US patent agents outside the US.
Duration of protection:
An Israeli patent is granted and lasts for a period of 20 years from the date of the first (priority) filing.
Rights offered by a granted patent:
The owner of a patent in Israel can prevent anyone from using the patent by way of production, sale, offer for sale, etc.
The owner of a patent in Israel is also entitled to monetary damages. The damages are calculated retroatively to begin from the date of the publication of the patent. However, unlike in most modern patent systems, an Israeli patent is only published upon allowance.
Filing an Israeli Patent
A patent in Israeli may be filed in English, Hebrew or Arabic. In practice, patents in Hebrew or Arabic are nearly never filed, and nearly all patents filed to the Israeli patent office are filed in English.
The examination process:
Once a patent is filed, it waits in line until the examiner picks it up for examination. Lacking a "special reason" the examiner is obligated by law to examine patents in the order of their filing (he is not allowed to examine first a patent that was filed later).
While in recent years it typically took 3-4 years for a patent to reach examination, the Israeli Patent Authority has made significant and successful attempts to reduce the backlog, and patents now usually hit an examiner after an average period of about 2 years.
Notice Before Examination and The Disclosure Requirement
Once the patent reached the examiner and before the examination formally begins, the examiner will request that the applicant will respond to a "Notice Before Examination". This notice resembles an Information Disclosure System (IDS) in the US system.
The applicant is obligated to inform the examiner of any relevant piece of art that he is aware of which might be material to the patentability of the invention.
However, the applicant is ONLY required to disclose referenced cited as X or Y in parallel search report.
Unfortunately, if the relevant reference is not in English language (or Hebrew or Arabic), the applicant is also obligated to translate the reference in full.
Once the application is in examination, the applicant is required to continue and disclose to the examiner any reference that was cited in parallel jurisdictions until grant, and it is not enough to disclose all the known art when responding to a notice before examination.
Examination Waivers
A very important part of the Israeli patent system is the examination waivers. Most of the granted Israeli patents are not examined at all, and are granted based on one of the two examination waivers.
The "older" and more commonly used examination waiver is based on section 17(c) of the Israeli Patent Act. An owner of a granted patent in important jurisdictions such as the US, Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and Russia may amend the claims of the corresponding Israeli application to match those of the granted patent, and request that a waiver is provided. The examiner is allowed to examine the application based on the material that he/she has, but they normally do not.
The other type of examination waiver is based on internal patent authority guidelines, and allows to amend the application to correspond to a positive PCT opinion on patentablity.
As examination waivers are so commonly used, it is possible to request to stall the examination of an Israeli application BEFORE it officially began in order to wait for a corresponding patent to be granted.
As soon as the examination is concluded, either by enjoying an examination waiver or by persuading the examiner to grant the patent, the application is allowed and is published in the official patent journal.
From this point on, any third party has a 3 months period to file an opposition against the allowed patent.
A patent opposition is a contentious procedure that strongly resembles a court proceeding. Both parties are allowed to submit evidence, cross examine witnesses and submit summations. At the end of the process, costs are awarded to the winning party.
As only the commissioner of patents, his deputy and a patent adjudicator are deciding oppositions, there is a tremendous backlog in the issuance of decisions, and a typical opposition may last as much as 4 years and more.
Any decision made in the opposition creates an estoppel between the parties to the opposition, and contradicting argument cannot be made in court.
However, in view of the general lack of respect that Israeli courts have to decisions of other tribunals, it is very hard to rely on a harsh implementation of an estoppel.
If no opposition is filed, or if an opposition is filed and set aside, the patent registers, and is published again as a registered patent.
