My boyfriend and I are suckers for brunch at a hotel restaurant; i guess, after a hard manhattan week, it is nice to feel like we're on vacation when we are so, so not. this week, we went to maialino, our second visit, and if it is up to me, our last.
There are a lot of things that go into making a restaurant one that i like to frequent. Delicious food, an intriguing and well-thought out menu, service that matches the style of the restaurant. For me, maialino fails on the last two and the food just isn't good enough to make up the difference.
However, before i jump into describing the things i absolutely detested, I would like to enthusiastically recommend the honey butter glazed pork biscuit. it was sweet and salty and fragrant and everything a morning pastry should be. my boyfriend, who eats faster than i do but is always considerate enough to leave me the last bite, well, i could see the muscles in his fork hand twitching, like it just might spontaneously reach out and grab the piece he'd politely left for me on the plate.
What I didn't like is a much longer list:
I found the menu difficult. I'm not an egg lover, and though there were lots of other choices, nothing really spoke to me. (To be fair, I should mention on both visits I had a really hard time finding something to order. My boyfriend, on the other hand, dreams of the soft scrambled eggs and would walk across town to have them.) I think it is weird how they mix sandwiches and salads in the same menu section with slightly vague descriptions; on our first visit, we actually had to ask which ones were on bread and which ones were salads.
the food was fine though i thought the portion sizes were just a bit, well, petite. i don't mean to sound like an unsophisticated diner that expects a family sized portion of pasta for $23--i'm not saying i wanted double or triple what i got. it's just when i saw the man next to me at the bar served his steak and egg, i actually heard myself say out loud, "geez, he's going to have to go have lunch after his lunch. there's no way that's going to fill him up." oh yea, and the bread was cold, soggy and tough.
food and menu aside, what really killed me about maialino was the service. as i write this, i'm waffling between nonexistent and horrible and can't decide which describes the experience better.
both times we visited, we sat at the bar, our preferred dining location in any restaurant. maialino doesn't have a huge bar and since most of the seated bar guests were eating, there should have been plenty of time for the two bartenders to take care of guests properly. Except they didn't.
When we arrived, I sat with a dirty place setting in front of me for a while before the bartender removed it and brought a clean one. She didn't change the one next to me, nor did she wipe it off before she plopped down a napkin and silverware for my boyfriend. We were never offered drinks.
At a bar. Never were asked. (I should mention both my boyfriend and I have tended bar at highly regarded chef run restaurants in manhattan, so we tend to be a bit forgiving when it is busy, we tip exceptionally well, and we know what is reasonable to expect from a server or bartender.)
Before we ordered, the lead bartender came over and asked the service bartender to handle a couple of bar patrons which she named by seat number. i can count. oh, she means us. then she proceeded to describe to him another bar guest, a vip, and right in front of us as we were being ignored, implored him to give the visiting chef really good service. we finally ordered and for the next fifteen minutes or so, while the service bartender flirted with the handsome gay guys next to me, i tried to catch his eye so i could order a drink. fifteen minutes. and a bartender standing right in front of me never noticed he'd not asked me what i wanted to drink, that i had no glass in front of me, nor that i was trying to get his attention.
The food came, we ate. And then, for the second time, there was the pesky problem of the dirty plates that sat in front of us forever. Gross. But not as gross as the red headed server who re-pony tailed her hair, smoothing it, twirling it and coaxing it into a rubber band. on the floor. in front of guests. then went back to serving tables without washing her hands.
It's weird. someone took great care with so many of the details in this place. pretty room. great location. so, why stop before you properly train your staff? especially in a hotel restaurant, why wouldn't you hire friendly, service oriented bar tenders who make guests feel at home and welcome?
and teach your waiters about basic hygiene practices.
I appreciate your report and hate that such a popular, well regarded restaurant, would let such things happen. I probably would have pushed those dirty dishes, firmly enough to be noticed.
That's why I like Jean Georges, the service is exceptional and friendly. I hope someone from Maialino reads your report.
Sorry to hear about the bad service you received. We have been to Maialino about ten times in the past few years and have always had very good to excellent service.
Hate to hear about a bad experience at a place I like. I've never been for brunch though. Usually go for pasta and the pig which I think is great. Also never sat at the bar. Always table service and its never been anything like you've described. May be the bartenders are just less focused on diners than the servers that cover the tables. Before writing the place off, I would suggest dining there at a table and not ordering odrering brunch items, but the things they are known for. Who knows. Maybe that will change your mind or at least even the experience out.
re: Bkeats
Now that I do think about it, we did eat at the bar for brunch once and the service was no where near what we have experienced at the tables. It was not bad; it was just not accommodating.
It's understandable that you're upset. Have you written or emailed your concerns to Union Square Hospitality Group or Danny Meyer? They're/he are usually quite responsive.
I can't speak to the service issues you cite but I can help you with the menu.
"I think it is weird how they mix sandwiches and salads in the same menu section with slightly vague descriptions; on our first visit, we actually had to ask which ones were on bread and which ones were salads. "
Here's the section of the menu from their website:
The sandwiches and salads are clearly labeled.
re: Bob Martinez
I dont have issues with having to ask for clarification on menu's, but from that link you posted bob i think one could easily take issue with your definition of "clearly labled". Other than the two items with "Panino" in their name, which are clearly sandwiches if you have even rudimentary knowledge of italian pluralization and have ever seen a coffee shop with a sandwich press, how is one to know if there will be bread or greens surrounding the pork, swordfish, or mozz?
re: tex.s.toast
There are only 5 items in that section of the menu. As you said, "panino" are clearly sandwiches. The porchetta is labeled "sandwich." The pesce spada is labeled as a salad.
Only 1 item out of the 5 isn't labeled as either a salad or sandwich - the Caprese. While that's a common name for a salad the OP might not have known that.
Even conceding that, 1 out of 5 hardly justified the OP's complaint that "... they mix sandwiches and salads in the same menu section with slightly vague descriptions; on our first visit, we actually had to ask which ones were on bread and which ones were salads. "

Love this boot. Old ones were worn completely out. I am glad I was able to replace with the same boot
Love the look, plenty of room around the top of your calf... Nice dark black suede flat boot.... Very FLAT therefore you can't walk long distance, so please get something with and arch and you won't get pain in your arches and legs like I did after a day of shopping...actually it was only after four hours... So maybe get them a half a size gigged to accommodate an extra thick cushion footpad, I wish I would have bought a bigger shoe! They are great with a thick sock but then I don't have the support and my footpad is too thick. So, size up so you can have support for longer walking..trust me! These are cool boots!
I have big calfs I could not get these boots on. Had to send these boots back.
cute boots, not difficult to put on or take off in spite of no zipper, however, the bottom felt really thin and they were tight. I had to return them.
Brought as a Christmas gift for my daughter. Fit her her like a glove, her loved them.
These boots are a good standard flat boot for the price. I would prefer that they were taller but they look cute with knee socks or skinny jeans.

I understand that this advert is supposed to raise awareness of rape, but I think I speak for other victims of rape, as well as myself when I say it's really quite distressing.
I was raped 9 months ago, I seemed to be doing okay.. I saw this advert while I was at work not so long ago, and I had to leave. It brought everything back, the memories that I've tried so hard to forget, the feelings of helplessness, the panicking, the nightmares..
Even 9 months after I was raped, I found this advert extremely triggering. I self harmed quite a lot after I saw this - purely because it was a way of blocking the memories out, and regaining the control that was taken from me that night. The advert sent me right back to how I felt the night I was raped.
I'm sure the advert does the job in educating a lot of people, but for me, it was extremely triggering and hasn't helped me or my recovery at all.. if anything, it's made it worse.

Robyn Hitchcock | Tom Oldham
A perennial visitor to Chicago these days, this bewildering Brit returns this time for two shows in one night. The first finds the former Soft Boy and occasional Egyptian, now 59, performing the entirety of his 1990 album "Eye" (a largely acoustic outing praised as a proper follow-up to his seminal '84 album "I Often Dream of Trains"). The second show is all requests, so come armed with something completely daft to shout out (me, I'm holding out for the Swedish version of "Alright, Yeah"). At 7 and 10 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Old Town School of Folk Music, 4544 N. Lincoln. Tickets: $26-$30. Call (773) 728-6000; oldtownschool.org. — Thomas Conner
Now here's a '90s revival moment I can get behind. The Samples were a remarkably consistent act with a tight rhythm section, a jazzy bounce to their pop and Sean Kelly's high, dead-ringer-for-Sting vocals. This reconstituted lineup features all newbies around Kelly, but expect quality musicianship. Beautiful Collision and Taggart Transcontinental open at 8 p.m. Oct. 12 at Double Door, 1572 N. Milwaukee. Tickets: $20-$75. Call (773) 489-3160; doubledoor.com — Thomas Conner
Since you last marveled at Adam Ant's war paint and three-cornered hats all over MTV, he's drifted into acting, been arrested (twice) for bashing in various windows and doors, spent time in a mental institution and exorcised it all in an autobiography. Now he's drifting back into music and allegedly working on a new album, which would be his first since 1995. Meanwhile, he's standing and delivering on stage. At 9 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Cubby Bear, 1059 W. Addison. Sold out. Call (773) 327-1662; cubbybear.com. — Thomas Conner
Would she play for you in a theater? Yes, she would. Canadian singer Alanis Morissette, who prescribed her "Jagged Little Pill" in the mid-'90s, has been prolific of late and showcasing a variety of new material on tour all summer. Her latest album, August's "Havoc and Bright Lights," earned mixed reviews — but, hey, she's been performing Green Day's "Basket Case" lately in tribute to Billie Joe Armstrong. Souleye opens at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at Riviera Theatre, 4746 N. Racine. Tickets: $48. Call (800) 514-ETIX; jamusa.com. — Thomas Conner

The Wiley College and USC debate teams squared off October 25, 2013 at 5 p.m. on USC's turf in Los Angeles. Seventy-eight years ago, Wiley College and the University of Southern California squared off at Bovard Hall in Los Angeles, California, for an exhibition debate. Wiley College, one of the oldest historically black colleges west of the Mississippi River, defeated USC, and the small school's victory served as a profound example that skin color is not a determinant of intelligence or abilities.
In 2012, USC traveled to Wiley for an exhibition match with the great debaters in the Julius S. Scott Sr. Chapel, named in honor of Wiley's ninth president. At the end of the evening, both teams were declared the victors and they committed to another match, this time at USC.
Last week, Wiley and USC debate teams renewed their historic meeting at 5 p.m. in the Salvatori Center, 941 Bloom Way, Room 101 on the USC campus. The media was present, but the event was closed to the public. However, the debate can be viewed online at http://new.livestream.com/accounts/5806670/GreatDebate.
"After nearly 80 years, Wiley College has revived its forensics program and has come back with a passion to excel in all that they do as a team," said Executive Vice President and provost of Wiley College Dr. Glenda F. Carter.
"In a short period of time, the team has reclaimed its prominent status in the national debate arena."
Now ranked fourth in the nation, Wiley's debate team completed its 2012-2013 season of competition having amassed 82 national awards, 368 season-long awards, and 16 championship trophies, and the first team title by a historically black college. The debate team is affiliated with Pi Kappa Delta, the National Forensics Association, and the American Forensics Association.
The Wiley Team is led by Director of Forensics Christopher Medina, a native of Los Angeles, who came to Wiley with nearly 25 years of forensics experience. During his former position as the Director of Forensics at the
University of La Verne in California, ULV won its first world debate finalists and its first world championship in supplementary events. Wiley's L.A. debate team members are:
Returning Competitors
- Austin Ashford - Hometown: Union Springs, California.
- Drake Pough - Hometown: Union Springs, California.
- Dominick Taylor - Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri.
First-Year Competitors
- Robert Hollar - Hometown: Los Angeles, California.
- Nathan Leal - Hometown: Union Springs, California.
- Lyle Kleinman - Hometown: Bakersfield, California
- Rachel Garnett - Hometown: Orange County, California.
- Cameron Smith - Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri.
As a point of reference, the 2007 award-winning movie, "The Great Debaters," told the story of Wiley's defeat of USC, the then reigning national forensics champion, under the direction of Professor Melvin B.Tolson. In the movie, however, the Wiley team defeats Harvard University. Denzel Washington, who played as Tolson also directed the movie, donated $1 million to Wiley to revive the debate team.
For more information about the Wiley and USC October 25 event and the Los Angeles Team, please contact Ms. Tammy Taylor, Director of Public Relations at Wiley College at (469) 826-2383.
[About Wiley College: Founded in 1873, Wiley College is a four-year privately-supported, historically black college affiliated with The United Methodist Church and the United Negro College Fund. The campus is located at 711 Wiley Avenue in Marshall, Texas 75670. (903) 927-3300. http://www.wileyc.edu/.]

Reviews for The Byrds
Add New Review About The Artist
High Flying Byrd | Reviewer: Daron | 11/11/2004
The byrds are one of the great bands of the 60's.
Highly influenced by the beatles, they have their own acid drenched sound, which stands out the most in their version of the Dylan classic "Mr Tambourine man"...
The Byrds had their own sound, maybe not so much their own lyrics (as Dylan wronte a lot of their songs, or they covered some of his songs) but a definative original sound.

Stefan Jacoby says Volvo contemplating Mini rival
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Aug 21st, 2012 at 11:31AM
Up or down? That's the question about which way Volvo is going to take its brand: solidly into premium, full-size sedan luxury or into a smaller near-premium offering to challenge what is, right now, a very hot segment. Most of the chatter has centered around the former option, with Volvo declaring it would go for the top luxury guns, a patent filing suggesting an S100 flagship, and talk of a C90 luxury coupe to fight models like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe. In between, that there's been speculation on the other side, with reports that Volvo is looking for a partner on a small car.... Read More

Lafayette Airport Commission Chairman Matt Cruse reports Lafayette Regional Airport saw another record-breaking year for passengers in 2013. For the year, enplanements totaled 236,264 (4,912 more passengers over 2012) and deplanements totaled 235,068 (5,482 more passengers over 2012). The total number of passengers was 471,332 for the year, an increase of 10,394 passengers over 2012's record year.
"We'd like to thank the travelers of Acadiana who chose Lafayette Regional Airport for their air travel needs," says Cruse. "We know every traveler has a choice when making travel plans and we are grateful so many are choosing to fly Lafayette. This is our fourth record-breaking year in a row and we look forward to continuing to make improvements in 2014 to make that choice even easier."
The airport finished the year with a strong December. During the month, 18,880 passengers boarded planes at the airport, which is the highest total ever for December. Another 18,359 passengers deplaned, also the highest number on record for the month.
Load factors, the number of passengers flying on an airline compared to the number of seats available, continued to be high in December for all three carriers.

Crystal System: Orthorhombic
Status of Occurrence: Confirmed Occurrence
Distribution: Uncommon
Chemical Composition: Aluminium silicate
Chemical Formula: Al2SiO5
Method(s) of Verification: Anglesey localities - EMPA and optical identification (Horák, 1993).
Geological Context:
- Metamorphic: medium-grade
Photomicrograph, sheafs of sillimanite needles in high-grade metamorphic rocks from north east Anglesey (Coedana Complex gneisses). Specimen & © National Museum of Wales.
Introduction: sillimanite is a metamorphic mineral found in high-grade rocks (upper amphibolite/lower granulite facies) most typically in aluminium-rich pelites. Sillimanite has two polymorphs, kyanite and andalusite, which develop under conditions of lower temperature and different pressure to sillimanite.
Occurrence in Wales: the only Welsh occurrence of sillimanite is from pelitic gneisses of the Coedana Complex, Anglesey. These are some of the highest grade metamorphic rocks in Southern Britain and the highest grade metamorphic rocks in Wales. Their age is unproven, but is considered to be Neoproterozoic (late Precambrian). The general assemblage within these gneisses is quartz + oligoclase + biotite + garnet + sillimanite ± K-feldspar with the compositional layering enhanced by the presence of melt layers (leucosomes). Sillimanite has been identified in hand specimens from both Llechynfarwy in central Anglesey and from Porth Heligan, to the north-east of the island (Greenly 1896, 1919). The mineral is probably much more extensively developed throughout the gneisses but its presence is obscured by shearing and retrogression.
Key Localities:
- Llechynfarwy, Anglesey: sillimanite forms silky aggregates of pale fibres a few mm long within finely banded garnet-biotite-sillimanite gneiss. In thin section both prismatic sillimanite and the fine fibrous form, known as 'fibrolite', are present (Horák, 1993). It should be noted that this is a scheduled site and permission from CCW is required to collect. Samples for study are held in the National Museum of Wales Mineral Collection under accession number 93.12G.
- Porth Heligan, Anglesey: the coastal exposures of the Coedana Complex gneisses contain layers rich in pale yellow prismatic sillimanite up to 4 mm in length, in addition to fibrolite. In thin section biotite and sillimanite show complex textures with the sillimanite intergrown with biotite but in other places appearing to consume it. These textures record mineral reactions reflecting increasing metamorphic grade (Horák, 1993).

Journal Entry # 273
December 2nd, 2010
This really is what religion is all about isn't it, the threat of going to a hell. Once you get past all the nonsense this is where it always ends up. This is what is told to countless influential children and ignorant people looking for hope in their life's. If you do not submit in whatever way is deemed appropriate for the religion in question you will end up in a hell. The Chinese have 1,000's of them.
Recently I was invited to offer my challenges to religion on a FACE BOOK page called Born Again.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=300766774609 Born Again
Instill that fear.
As you can tell by the title they are a group of Christians based out of India who consider themselves Born Again into Jesus. Now there are people from all over the world on this page and I have talked with many. Mostly the standard silly arguments. Now the reason I was asked to do this was twofold; 1. So they could convert me and 2. So they could practise debating an atheist. Well I guess they had enough as this was my final warning.
Moderator…….. Dear all Born-agains… Gary is intentionally choosing Hell. We know God never puts any one to hell without reason or sufficient warning. I am sure Gary has seen Gods love through our persuasion. Better leave him now. He is adamant. Thank God our time is not waste because we are sharpened to face still bigger atheists.
Different Christian…..I agree. Some will argue just for arguments sake. What little Jesus does ask of us after giving it all? God bless you brother Raj.
Gary David Currie ……WOW you say I am choosing hell. Thanks for condemning me. Why can't I still be a non believer and go to heaven? That is what a real father would do.
I would never treat my children the way you say your god will treat me.
I am a great person,… I am in the service of others and have been so for many years. I care deeply about humanity and I long for a peaceful world. I am all about love and peace.
But because I at this point or may never accept your god as true you and your god will condemn me to torture and hell for eternity.
This is pathetic and why I speak out.
You call that love. You say you care, All your god and you do is judge and condemn if we are different than you.
You say you're are about Peace how is this Peace. This is a twisted version of PEACE. This is not unconditional love.
Your Statement has verified exactly what I say about Christianity and the sad thing is that you are all fine with this concept. You wish hell for me if a do not agree with you or accept your god. Do you not see how wrong and twisted this really is
If your god was really about love he would accept me no matter what I believed.
Laurie Lebo from the documentary Judgment Day — Intelligent Design on Trial: Nova on how here father viewed life. She believed in evolution he did not.
It is difficult to think rationally when this is your primary focus.
"If you believe in heaven and hell and you believe you have to be saved nothing else could possibly matter. Not the first amendment, not science, not rational debate. All that matters is that you're going to be rejoined with the people you love most on this earth."
This pretty much sums it up. When you are so diluted that you believe in a Heaven and a hell you will do whatever you have to do to get there with the ones you love. You will be blinded to the actual idea that your god is a control freak which of course verifies he is no god at all. This basis for everything else that takes place in the life of the faithful. They will now have to follow all the rules so they don't go to hell.
This reminds of the Brutal Regimes we have in the world today. My way or death but you disguise it with the veil of love.
If I actually thought this was real I would fight the idea to the death. The problem is that many do think it is real and they follow it to the death of others.

Remember high school, when sex was dark, mysterious, and largely theoretical? Being a new parent is a lot like being a teenager again. You're ruled by hormones — in this case, mostly your mate's. Thanks to a) sleep deprivation and fatigue, b) breastfeeding, c) postpartum depression, or d) all of the above, her libido (and probably even yours) has flown south for the winter, and you must lure it back. That means, yes, you and your wife will have to start dating again.
Only this time, it's going to be much harder. While you won't have to ask to borrow the car, you will have less time, energy, and privacy than you did the first time. And there are now at least three of you in the house — never the best formula for romance.
For most guys, romance, if done well, leads inexorably to sex. And what most new fathers want to know is...
And the answer is (drum roll, please) ... ask your wife. One new father reports having his "needs met" a week after junior's grand debut. But real, two-way, howling-in-the-moonlight sex won't be on the immediate agenda. While the normal rule is a minimum of six weeks after the birth — with your doctor's okay — the real decision-maker here is your mate. As one father puts it, "My wife is like a tollbooth operator. She pulls up the gate, I go through. She doesn't, and I don't." You need to figure out what the toll is, and how to pay it.
She gives — and gives and gives. Mostly to the little homunculus at the center of her universe. And that means less attention for you.
Don't fight it, says Drew Pinsky, M.D., host of MTV's "Loveline" (and father of triplets). "Give up," he says. "You're in the back seat now. Get used to it."
Pinsky isn't kidding. Having children means dropping to number two on your wife's list of priorities — or in Pinsky's case, number four. His advice: Be compassionate. "Your wife is having her soul sucked out of her by the new child — physically, emotionally, in every way. Your job is to support her."
The best thing you can do is help out with the baby. Don't come home at night and plop down in the Barcalounger with the newspaper — no matter how tired you are. "Nobody wants to date Ward Cleaver," says James Douglas Barron, author of She's Having a Baby — and I'm Having a Meltdown (William Morrow, New York, 1999). "It's a big turn-on for women to see their husband involved with their child."
Develop some new ones. Your patented sneak attack at 2 a.m. is likely to be met with a stiff elbow to the sternum.
"You really need to romance your wife," says Barron. "You can't just rely on dinners and movies. You have to keep doing new things, explore the world around you."
This doesn't mean you can't be spontaneous. Two months after the birth of his son, one new dad parked the little guy with his in-laws and took his wife out for a nice dinner at her favorite restaurant, followed by a stroll around a swank hotel. There he lured her into a darkened ballroom and onto a grand piano, only to be interrupted in mid-concerto by a waiter. The spell was broken, but he got points for trying something new.
Hey, it's hard to feel sexy when you smell like baby vomit and get less sleep than a flesh-eating zombie. The first rule here is exercise. Carve out 20 minutes a day, even if it's just for a brisk stroll with your baby in tow. It's amazing how much sexier you'll feel after a nice endorphin rush.
When it comes time to do the deed, dim the lights, fire up lots of candles, and if you wear corrective lenses, remove them. (Remember what we said earlier about darkness and mystery?)
My wife's breasts spurt milk if I even look at her. It's put a damper on our love life.
Ah yes, Old Faithful. A mother's breasts do tend to erupt at the crucial moment. But there are some easy solutions to this problem.
She could leave the bra on. Of course, most breastfeeding brassieres look as if they were been designed by a team of NASA engineers — not exactly erotic. Plop the kid in a stroller and go shopping together for sexy lingerie.
Schedule a session after she's fed the nipper. The keg will have been tapped, so to speak, and your baby is more likely to nod off after tanking up, giving you two time to get reacquainted. Of course, your wife may also want to nod off — or tell you to buzz off — so be ready to accept a rain check.
Or you might just embrace the idea. "For many guys, breast milk can be a real turn-on," says Linda Banner, a marriage, family, and sex therapist in San Jose, California. "They've always fantasized about the taste of mother's milk, and they don't remember the first time they had it." Take note, however: Tasting is fine, but no guzzling, please. Otherwise, bacteria could enter the breast and affect breastfeeding.
All we have to do is think about sex and the kid starts bawling. How do we deal with babius interruptus?
First, make the effort to find a good babysitter — she (or he) will be worth her weight in Krugerrands. If you can't find one, get your mother, mother-in law, or a close friend to stand watch. Then get the hell out of Dodge.
"A lot of keeping romance alive is getting away from the baby," says Barron. "Try to do at least one sleepover a year, whether it's at a hotel, a campground, or wherever."
Linda Banner counseled one well-heeled couple who rented a separate apartment in town to use as a getaway. They left the kids with the nanny at home and sneaked off to their pied-a-terre for interludes. While this isn't an option for most of us (sigh), Banner says, "Having an affair with each other will keep the spark going."

Waulk Music
Waulk Records was established in 1997 to release the work of artists associated with Waulk Music.
Yakar is the follow-up to Senegalese songwriter Amadou Diagne's well-received debut 'Introducing Amadou Diagne'. This time working with producer Griselda Sanderson the thirteen-track album includes guest appearances from Abdoulaye Samb, Pete Josef, Simo Lagnawi, Alioune Samb & Louis Bingham. Taking his style of Senegalese blues into new territory with some rich arrangements Yakar explores themes of love and life as an immigrant as well as re-interpreting traditional songs.
Simo Lagnawi's debut album Gnawa London is a bold statement about musical identity as a Moroccan immigrant in London. The ten tracks range from the classic Gnawa number Shalaba, that shows off Lagnawi's impressive vocal technique to the original Elhal, referring to the Arab Spring and simply stating 'Enough!'.
"The gnawa man about town was beautifully recorded with a lovely intimate sound...very appealing if you're in the mood for a bit of acoustic Moroccan trance bliss-out which, quite often of an evening, I find I am"
"It's an outstanding piece of work. Gnawa London never lacks any feeling of spontaneity, and the depth of the groove is mesmerizing. Lagnawi is a musician you're all going to hear a lot more about"
Culture Capital, June 2013
"Gnawa London reveals Simo Lagnawi to be an artist to watch closely"
Tim Woodall, Songlines Magazine, August/September issue 94
"The gnawa man about London town…beautifully recorded with a lovely intimate sound…very appealing if you're in the mood for a bit of acoustic Moroccan trance bliss-out, which quite often of an evening I find I am"

Artist: Griselda Sanderson
'Like a hurdy gurdy played with a bow, the 16-string nyckelharpa is a traditional keyed fiddle, little heard outside its native Sweden. Scottish instrumentalist, sound artist and musicologist Gris Sanderson makes it the focus of her latest imaginative ensemble, and creates a brave new music derived in part from the traditional sounds of Scotland, Sweden and West Africa. Unusual tunings, fingered strings, slaps and dynamic changes add to the already vast sonic armoury (sheep in 'Treadlightly'!) in this rich and varied album.'

Hey, I've just recently started out doing ICC10, and I'm looking for some help.
I'm wondering what item I should spend my frost emblems on next. Should I go for http://www.wowhead.com/item=50863 for the 2 piece T10 bonus? Or should I go for http://www.wowhead.com/item=50466 or http://www.wowhead.com/item=50991 ? As far as I can see, the belt would be the biggest upgrade, but someone in my guild told me I should go for the T10 bonus. If anyone can, I'd also appreciate any general advice conserning my gear. I've done my best to get as much EH as possible while staying over the def cap.

Steve Moore statement on settlement with Todd Bertuzzi, Vancouver Canucks
After getting an emailed release from Steve Moore's attorney with the below that confirmed the settlement in the lawsuit against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks, I'll reiterate what I said in the linked recent column: The Avalanche should schedule a Steve Moore Night. And here's my narrative of the entire mess.
Here are the statements in the release:
TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2014 — The legal case for the loss of my NHL career is over. I have accepted a settlement agreement which has now been finalized and signed by all the parties.
This day comes with mixed emotions. I am extremely thankful for the compassion and encouragement of so many people over the past decade. These years have been very difficult for me and my family. The injuries I sustained in my rookie year, the years I spent trying to return to my NHL career, and dealing with the loss of my career and the ensuing legal case, have been long and trying experiences. While nothing replaces the loss of one's dream, I am happy my family will no longer be burdened by an unresolved legal case, and I am grateful to be able to move forward.

Homemade Oreos? Possible?
- sivyaleah Sep 30, 2006 08:32 PM
My husband got a hankering for Oreos yesterday, but I was loathe to buy a package, what with all the trans fats, and other garbage that goes into packaged cookies these days. The thought of having an entire pack of these things sitting around tempting us was not in our best interests.
But it got both of us thinking. Is there such a thing as a home recipe for something similar to an Oreo? I've never seen anything like it, nor have I heard of anyone attempting it. Seems like it would be more bother than it was worth and in the end, you probably still have to use Crisco or something similar for the filling anyway.
For some reason, he's not a homemade cookie kind of guy - he actually prefers store-bought crunchy hard cookies. I offered to bake him anything his heart desires. But he's really stuck on something more generic and alas, loaded with chemicals.
But, now I'm stuck on finding out if it's possible to try this at home in a healthier manner. Of course, when I say "healthier" I realize that this only means sans chemicals and perhaps trans fats. Obviously, I can't make a good cookie without butter and sugar LOL.
Any thoughts?
Do you want to make it, or buy it? Trader Joe's has cookie sandwiches and Paul Newman makes one, too. Neither have trans fats. I've seen recipes for homemade oreos but most contain Crisco which you can buy w/out trans fat but I don't know if it's worth the effort, esp. when the substitutes are good. I like them better because it's easier to take apart the cookies.;-)
re: sivyaleah
As an Oreo fan with the same concerns as the OP, I went and bought TJs equivalent, Joe-Joes, I think they're called. Bleah. Pretty tasteless. TJs has a lot of great stuff; this is NOT worthy of them.
The best Oreo-type cookie I recall having was from a famous SF Bay Area bakeshop. It might have been Citizen Cake or Bouchon Bakery: a pair of almost black cookies, delicately crisp, rather than crunchy, with a filling that might have been made with mascarpone.
re: LisaAZ
Carrots in lieu of Oreos? You obviously don't know my husband.
re: LisaAZ
Or put the leftovers in the freezer for the next hankering.
I have a recipe for homemade oreos that are very tasty (especially the filling) in this cookbook: Retro Desserts: Totally Hip, Updated Classic Desserts from the '40S, '50S, 60s and '70s by Wayne Brachman. I made them about a year ago in miniature for a party and they were a big hit. I don't know that they're healthy, though. Yes, there is shortening (and butter) in the filling.
re: Neuromancer
Here's a link to the recipe:
re: jacinthe
Great! Thanks! I can always use the new Crisco w/no trans fats. Might be a bother, but I know he'll appreciate the effort.
Oreos are now trans fat free (they removed the hydrogenated oils from the recipe).
Other than the omitted trans fats, there's no other 'garbage' in oreos that isn't in TJ's, Newman's, or your own recipe.
Here are the ingredients:
Ingredients: SUGAR, ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE [VITAMIN B1], RIBOFLAVIN [VITAMIN B2], FOLIC ACID), HIGH OLEIC CANOLA OIL AND/OR PALM OIL AND/OR CANOLA OIL, COCOA (PROCESSED WITH ALKALI), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, BAKING SODA, CORNSTARCH, SALT, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLIN-AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, CHOCOLATE.
There's no 'chemicals' in these. The only garbage (unhealthy ingredients) is the sugar.
If you were to make your husband sugar free cookies, that might be a healthier choice, but that puts you in the realm of artificial sweeteners that some people have issues with as well.
Buy your husband the oreos.
re: scott123
I am!
re: sivyaleah
Oh, I just thought of something. I'm pretty sure this change in formula occured in the last couple of months. Definitely check the ingredients to make sure you're getting a new batch.
re: scott123
I'd have an argument with the 'HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP' not being a 'chemical'. Although the jury is out on this still, there are studies that support it as being the major culprit in the current onslaught of child obesity as it is currently ubiquitous in all kinds of mass-produced foods in the US and has quite a different physiological effect than does cane sugar. Its prevalence is due to the low price of corn (from federal subsidies) as opposed to the higher cost of cane sugar which is mostly imported from south of the border.
I personally avoid it like the plague when in the market but cavaet emptor.
Have you ever made classic ice-box cakes? Deeeeelicious oreo-type desert. Buy a box of plain chocolate wafer cookies & make up a big batch of homemade whipped cream (whipped w/ a wee bit of sugar). Build short stacks of alternately layered cookies and cream and refrigerate them overnight. The cookies absorb the moisture and turn the stacks into multi-layered,oreo-tasting cakes. My mom used to make these -- what a treat for each kid to get his/her own little cake.
This probably does not fit the bill of what your husband is looking for, but Stareos (from the Stars restaurant in SF, I believe) are some of the best cookies I've ever had. Chocolate shortbread with lightly sweetened mascarpone filling. Not crunchy, but yowsa! they are good! I can't figure out how to link to it, but I found the recipe for them on recipelink.com
re: cyberroo
I've bought them from the source, they aren't Oreos... I live a pretty clean life. Lots of fruits and Veggies and good meats. I rarely eat and buy junk, sodas, processed foods. So gosh darn it, when that one time of year I see Oreos out at the Office Workspace, I don't mind taking a few for myself... :)
Just got the King Arthur newsletter which features a recipe for an Oreo like sandwich cookie. Check out the website for the recipe

"This is the second time the Commission has successfully secured federal funding of this magnitude for the Pittsburgh area," PFBC Executive Director Douglas Austen said. "This is a great project for Pennsylvania's boating program. Building these docks will positively impact tourism and the local economy in the Pittsburgh area for years to come."
The BIG program provides federal funds for projects designed to accommodate transient, recreational motorboats that are 26 feet or longer. The funds awarded to PFBC will be used to construct docking space for 26 large boats, of which 16 will be for transient boaters and day dockage uses.
In February 2008, PFBC secured a $1.35 million BIG grant for the construction of transient boat docks along the South Shore Riverfront Park in Pittsburgh. When completed, this facility will consist of a 525-foot tie-up for transient boaters and day dockage uses for up to 17 large, non-trailerable boats. The BIG grants are just a small part of a larger $8.5 million redevelopment effort by the Sports & Exhibition Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.
No Commission funds will be used for the development of these projects.
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. To learn more about the BIG program or other boating related grant programs, go to www.fishandboat.com and click on "Grants."

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. - A sewage line break that caused a sinkhole in a Lehigh Acres roadway has been fixed, though additional repairs to the pavement are needed.
Starting Monday morning, part of Homestead Road was closed to traffic near the intersection with Leeland Heights Boulevard, after the road started sagging over the leak.
Crews contracted by Florida Governmental Utility Authority worked overnight to patch the broken pipe. An asphalt patch is still needed where the hole was filled.
In the meantime, the road is open and safe for traffic.
FGUA is waiting for the gravel in the sinkhole to settle and for final approval from the Department of Transportation before it lays down asphalt.
Final repairs are expected before the end of the week, and could prompt further lane closures. Roadwork is expected in the evening hours, however, to cut down on impact to drivers.

Washington, D.C. (July 1, 2010) -- Thousands of scientists and health professionals from the field of medical physics will meet at the 52nd meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) from July 18 - 22, 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They will present the latest technological advances in medical imaging and radiation therapy and discuss the safety and regulatory issues facing the field today.
AAPM is the premier organization in medical physics, a broadly-based scientific and professional discipline encompassing physics principles and applications in medicine and biology. Its membership includes medical physicists who specialize in research that develops cutting-edge technologies and board-certified clinical medical physicists who apply these technologies in community hospitals, clinics, and academic medical centers.
The presentations at the AAPM meeting will cover topics ranging from new ways of imaging the human body to the latest clinical developments on treating cancer with high energy X-rays and electrons from accelerators, brachytherapy with radioactive sources, and protons. Many of the talks and posters are focused on patient safety -- tailoring therapy to the specific needs of people undergoing treatment, such as shaping emissions to conform to tumors, or finding ways to image children safely at lower radiation exposures while maintaining good image quality.
Journalists are invited to attend the AAPM meeting. Registration information appears below. Future news releases this month will highlight presentations of interest to reporters.
Journalists are welcome to attend the conference free of charge. AAPM will grant complimentary registration to any full-time or freelance journalist working on assignment. The Press guidelines are posted at: http://www.aapm.org/meetings/2010AM/VirtualPressRoom/default.asp
If you are a reporter and would like to attend, please fill out the press registration form: http://www.aapm.org/meetings/2010AM/VirtualPressRoom/documents/pressregform.pdf
Questions about the meeting or requests for interviews, images, or background information should be directed to Jason Bardi (email@example.com, 858-775-4080).
If you ever had a mammogram, an ultrasound, an X-ray, CT, MRI or a PET scan, chances are reasonable that a medical physicist was working behind the scenes to make sure the imaging procedure was as effective as possible. Medical physicists help to develop new imaging techniques, improve existing ones, and assure the safety of radiation used in medical procedures in radiology, radiation oncology and nuclear medicine. They collaborate with radiation oncologists to design cancer treatment plans. They provide routine quality assurance and quality control on radiation equipment and procedures to ensure that cancer patients receive the prescribed dose of radiation to the correct location. They also contribute to the development of physics intensive therapeutic techniques, such as the stereotactic radiosurgery and prostate seed implants for cancer to name a few. The annual AAPM meeting is a great resource, providing guidance to physicists to implement the latest and greatest technology in a community hospital close to you.
The AAPM is a scientific, educational, and professional nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the science, education and professional practice of medical physics. The Association encourages innovative research and development, helps disseminate scientific and technical information, fosters the education and professional development of medical physicists, and promotes the highest quality medical services for patients.

To that end, Ohio State will enter the Horseshoe on its Senior Day with emotions high for the outgoing seniors and in the wake of the thrilling victory over Iowa. Many parents have come north not just for The Game, but for Thanksgiving as well. Managing, containing those emotions for the 18 point favorites to do the necessary violence to That Team Up North is necessary. The starting rosters are previewed below.
That Team Up North's Offense
Awful defense has been the story of Rich Rodriguez' tenure in Ann Arbor, now in its third year. Previously, woeful offense was part of the narrative as well. His offense was 99th in scoring offense in 2008, 39th scoring offense (59th total offense) in 2009, and now the 15th scoring offense in college football in 2010. They're 5th nationally in total offense. Quarterback Denard Robinson (#16), who we all agree is the sure Heisman winner this year, is a huge reason why. The spot player as a true freshman in 2009 beat out the defending Heisman trophy winner Tate Forcier (#5), who had a host of issues bugging him in the summer. The word out of Ann Arbor was that the game had slowed down considerably for Robinson, who admitted that he was too jittery at this tempo to really follow through with his reads. Word also was that his passing improved considerably and was now a viable passing threat. I think the latter has been overstated considerably (he started from near zero), but the former is definitely true. If not for some nicks and bruises during the course of some games, he might be the unquestioned conference player of the year. He may still, for all I can foresee. I don't claim to know the ins and outs of TSUN football history, but he's obliterated several records for the program and, my understanding, in the Big Ten as well. Robinson's problem is that he's a sophomore. So, while he's made leaps and bounds in quarterback development, and is an all-around good guy and student of the game to improve even more, he's just not at the point where he can be considered automatic. Regardless, 2,229 yards passing (63% completion rate), 1,538 yards rushing (6.77ypc) and 14 rushing touchdowns is damned impressive. Critics of Rodriguez — fans of rival programs and doubting TSUN fans alike — are skeptical that so much of that comes A) against terrible teams like Notre Dame or UMass and B) well after he's been stuffed earlier in the game and at a point where teams lose interest in playing defense against the Wolverines (Wisconsin, for example). Whatever you think of those arguments, Robinson can be dangerous if he is not taken seriously and he must be respected by the players and the coaching staff. While Robinson is en route to a sure Heisman, his backup — Taters — comes in routinely when Denard gets injured. Given how important Robinson is to the operation of the offense, he can be fatigued, dinged.
Denard Robinson gets praise for his quarterback play, especially running the ball. The other unit on the team that deserves praise is the offensive line. They are finally now playing at the level necessary to make Rodriguez' spread-n'-shred viable. These aren't Lloyd Carr's linemen anymore. The beefy road graders operate in Madison now, not Ann Arbor. The line goes Taylor Lewan (#77), Stephen Schilling (#52), David Molk (#50), Patrick Omameh (#65), Mark Huyge (#72). Schilling is the true veteran of the group, the biggest lineman of the five and a clear holdover of the Lloyd Carr era not far behind us. This will be start number 48 for the outgoing senior and team captain. Patrick Omameh saw quality time last year as a freshman. He was one of Rodriguez' first recruits when he got the job and the subject of a late recruiting battle in that 2008 class. Rodriguez saw him as an ideal lineman, and Ohio State saw him more as a defensive lineman that they just did not want to go up north. He's coming off a quality individual performance last game against the Badgers. Molk is another good one inside, who may get some preseason buzz for hardware next year. There's some youth, inexperience on the edges. Lewan is a true freshman, already with several starts under his belt. Huyge, the second biggest lineman of the group, has come in for Perry Dorrestein. I'm not entirely sure why, but it may be that Huyge is more of what Rodriguez is looking for than Dorrestein, a Carr holdover.
Robinson is the star of the show, and the offensive line has become viable for the offensive philosophy, but the Wolvereenies also feature several offensive backs worth knowing. Robinson will likely be given the task of picking up yards with his feet, as he is lethal between tackles. Starting tailback Vincent Smith (#2) took over for enemy of Grant Schwartz, Michael Shaw (#20), midway through the season. Smith is not tall enough to ride most rollercoasters (5'6), but can be shifty and averages 8 yards a tote. He was concussed last week against Wisconsin, and may be questionable to play. While not running the most sophisticated routes, a veteran wide receiver corp within Rodriguez' offensive scheme can still create chaos for a Buckeye secondary that's prone to errors. Roy Roundtree (#12) is the best of the group. He's not the fastest, but he gets open, and how. You may remember his program best 246 yard performance in the double overtime victory against Illinois. He good, and the Illinois game was not his only display of heroism. He is complemented with other Rodriguez-era regulars like Darryl Stonum (#22) and Junior Hemingway (#21). Kelvin Grady (#19), the converted basketball player, converted tailback, will see the field as well. As this is a spread philosophy, the Wolvereenies will feature your X-Y-Z receivers that can have a tight end that's more blocker than downfield threat. Kevin Koger (#86), the Toledo native, can get downfield (see: Penn State game), but assists more in blocking.
That Team Up North's Defense
Gerg Robinson's "tickle bear" defense will probably not survive the offseason. It's… well. It's been rough, as I will try to remain diplomatic in this series of preview posts. Saying that it's been rough is probably putting it lightly. They conceded 65 points to the Zookers, but were fortunate that the offense scored 67 in that game. They got smashed by Wisconsin repeatedly (48pts), blasted by Iowa (38pts), taken to the cleaners by walk-on Matt McMoxie (41pts), could not stop Indiana in a win (35pts), and were shredded liberally by 1-AA Massachusetts (37pts). This is a sampling of events that led the Wolvereenies to be the 99th scoring defense, 92nd rushing defense, 111th passing defense and 112nd total defense. Think about those middle two stats for a moment: rushing defense and passing defense. It is often the case that, say, a terrible rushing defense is ostensibly a middle of the road passing defense. That is because teams that can run over a terrible rushing defense will often not bother to throw it that much. That's not the case for Gerg's unit. And let that sink in. Again, it's been rough and it's hard to see Gerg surviving the offseason in Ann Arbor.
The Wolvereenies transitioned to a 3-3-5 hybrid scheme this year, previously playing a more conventional under defense (that wasn't particularly good either) in 2009, Gerg's first year. It hurts that Brandon Graham matriculated to the NFL. They could use that disruptive predator again. Mike Martin (#68) stands out on the defensive line. He's the nose guard and a former state champion in wrestling. In essence, he is the type of lineman that Ohio State typically likes and he may have a future on Sundays. When healthy, he is a difficult matchup for a center and Brewster would have himself a battle. However, he is probable with an ankle injury. He has 6 TFLs and 2.5 sacks on the season. Ryan Van Bergen (#53) and Craig Roh (#88) are the defensive ends in the 3-3-5. Van Bergen has been starting for two years now. At 6'6, he is a legitimate threat to knock down passes and he makes good use of his hands. He leads the team in sacks (3.0) and QB hurries (4), and has 5.5 TFLs. Roh is the most productive of the bunch. He has 5.5 TFLs and 39 tackles.
The linebackers are frequently bemoaned on MGoBlog for the poor play wrapped up in poor schematic design. Read MGoBlog — as you should — and you will frequently find Brian bemoaning that Gerg's 3-3-5 is not a stack. By putting the linebackers 2 feet behind the linemen, they are in poor position to get inside-out and make plays. There are two outgoing seniors in the linebacking unit. Jonas Mouton (#8) is the most productive, leading the team in tackles with 102. Like most linebackers, he's uncomfortable in coverage but can be counted on in run support. The other senior — Obi Ezeh (#45) — has had a career that I think most TTUN fans would sooner forget. Ask them about Ezeh and it's more likely something negative will come up. The two outgoing seniors flank a sophomore middle linebacker. Kenny Demens (#25) is 5th on the team in tackles.
The secondary for the Wolvereenies has, well… well. There are a lot of contributing factors here, including transfers (e.g. Emilien, Turner), failures to enroll (Dorsey), people who are currently in jail (Cissoko) and season-ending injuries (Woolfolk). It's left the secondary in near shambles. The best of the bunch is probably former walk-on and second generation Wolvereenie Jordan Kovacs (#32). He has 95 tackles entering this game. That is a statistic I don't think anyone wants to see for a safety1. Regardless, Kovacs is limited athletically but does not make many mental mistakes. Whatever TTUN fans think of Gerg or the Rodriguez era in general, they'll probably salute Kovacs for making the best of a bad situation. The other safety is another Ohioan, Ray Vinopal (#20). You may remember him getting tripped up BW3 style chasing the Big Ten's slowest tailback, Illinois' Jason Ford, during his long touchdown run. Senior James Rogers (#18), one of the two starting cornerbacks, famously guaranteed Wisconsin would not score 83 points against them and vowed to make a statement to Chris Spielman on Saturday. His counterpart is Courtney Avery (#5), another true freshman. The fifth defensive back is Cameron Gordon (#4), a redshirt freshman and converted wide receiver.
TTUN wins if… uggh. Anyways, I think their fans that are measuring this game and wanting to know how they could squeak out a win in Columbus as 18 point underdogs will want it to play out like the Illinois game. I don't think their fans have any faith in the defense to play at another level. That is, their fans have been given no reason to believe that they won't concede a ton of points. To that end, TTUN may win if Denard can respond every single time. Taters did a lot of the heavy lifting against the Illini, but the story would essentially have to be the same. If Ohio State scores a TD, Denard needs to respond in order to keep pace. Every time. The deeper the hole they find their way in, the more this game looks like Wisconsin or Michigan State for them and a hopelessness sets in. I always run through worst case scenarios. Terrelle Pryor being careless with the ball and throwing into coverage may create more possessions for the Wolvereenies and more empty possessions for the heavily favored Buckeyes. TTUN fans will not expect this to look like Purdue, should they win. They will expect it to look like the Illinois game.
Ohio State wins if… it ends it early. Mind you, the Buckeyes have not exactly been fast starters against Rodriguez. They were only up 14-7 at half in 2008 and the Buckeyes had zero rushing yards in the first quarter last year. If the offense has improved to the point where Pryor can prey on bad defenses (especially at home), then the sooner the Buckeyes can make this game look like the Iowa, Wisconsin games for the visiting fans, the better. To that end, it's critical to keep the pressure on the Wolvereenies. I know OSU likes to play prevent when they have a huge lead to bleed clock, but Rodriguez' offense does not consume clock. They are capable of scoring quickly. I think Iowa got bored with them and let them back into the game after jumping out to a 28-7 lead. Likewise, Wisconsin was ahead 24-0 at intermission last week before getting careless, not minding the fence, and suddenly finding that 4 score lead turn into a 10 point ball game. It's not enough to stab the Wolverines to let them die. You have turn the knife and immediately desecrate the corpse. If so, Ohio State fans will be in full party mode before the game is over. That's the way I want it.
- That said, he does have 7.5 TFLs. [↩]

SLM Vauxhall announces launch of Vauxhall Rewards Programme
By LaurenBluck | Tuesday, March 19, 2013, 16:08
Local retailer, SLM Vauxhall, is delighted to announce the launch of the new Vauxhall Rewards Programme.
This innovative initiative offers the choice of a Pre-Pay Debit Card or Credit Card, so that customers can choose which Vauxhall Rewards option is best for them. The Pre-Pay Debit Card will be available in May and the Credit Card will be released in the summer.

Rewarding benefits
Every Rewards Point earned equals £1 to redeem at any Vauxhall authorized Retailer, such as SLM Vauxhall, and using the card couldn't be easier. Users can simply top-up their card online, by phone or via SMS. Members will get a monthly online statement detailing what they've spent, plus the Rewards Points they've earned.
Jonathan Tatlock adds: "There is no charge for using the card and you could find yourself saving £286 a year off your servicing and repair costs **. Additionally, as a Vauxhall Rewards member, you'll also automatically enjoy the benefits of the Vauxhall MasterFit Service Club, entitling you to extra savings on parts and servicing as well as half-price MOTs***."

*3 Reward points for every £100 spent at Asda, equating to £3 worth of discounts

*** In Northern Ireland, free Pre-MOT Inspections are given instead

Apotheker to shake things up at HP
Now that chief executive officer Leo Apotheker has made his worldwide tour of Hewlett-Packard's sites and big customers – and dodged the ongoing lawsuit between rival Oracle and former employer SAP – he is settling down to remaking HP into something more closely approximating his own image of the IT racket. According to a report …
Might my idea be better?
If they made me CEO of HP, I'd probably decide that smoothing it down and giving it a cuddle would be more beneficial and, in the long term, productive and profitable, than shaking it up.
Hasn't the poor company had more than enough of that already?
Re: Might my idea be better?
No No, that's the employees you are thinking of! Oh wait :)
It's not that
I'd rule out cuddling independent contractors too.
Oh... my turn to wait!
Seriously, though, isn't it time a bit of TLC for a company, not to mention the long view, got a bit more exposure in management? I'm willing to give it a go, but I wouldn't advise anyone to put any money on seeing the headline, "Unheard of sys admin comes out of tropical retirement to run MNC".
What about the other half?
> That's only 64 cores
Err, what about the other half?
Current configurations allow the use of 2 blade chassis to be used, so 16 blades, 32 sockets, 128 cores - just like the old fashioned fat boy, only in less than 1/2 the space. If you're rich enough they can also double the old memory limit to 4TB.
The webpage already talks about future releases bring scalability up to 256cores.
I guess it all depends on whether the spat with Oracle continues to the point where Oracle force all HP products out the price comparisons by even further hiking the license fees.
Where have we seen this before?
I could swear I've heard this story before -- profitable hardware engineering company sells off its hardware business to some cut-rate manufacturer to focus on the wildly profitable world of "services." I think the other company that tried this is now a consulting company that sells mainframes in its spare time.
I see some big problems with this:
(1) If HP thinks EDS is a world-class consulting & services firm, they need to take a hard look at it again.
(2) Where are those of us who run businesses that really aren't "cloud-hostable" going to turn for hardware? HP is (was?) the only vendor that produces/produced a line of non-garbage PCs and servers. I shudder to think Dell is now the go-to provider in this space.
(3) HPUX and OpenVMS customers pour truckloads of money into HP every year, and support an entire ecosystem of applications. It would be pretty foolish to tell them to instantly port everything to commodity Linux or Windows servers -er- cloudmachines, and expect them not to say anything.
I'm telling you - this cloud stuff is just running its course. Eventually companies will figure out that it's just VMs and SANs in someone else's datacenter, and draw some sane boundaries about what they're willing to host and what will stay in-house. And when they do, they're going to need to keep buying hardware from somewhere to host the in-house stuff. If HP doesn't retain a toehold in the real world while trying to sell the cloud, things could get ugly.
What? No Matt B?
Where art though??? It's a story about HP...are you not meant to be singing it's praise's? Seems Apotheker isn't!

Yesterday, in Prometheus Labs., Inc. v. Mayo Collaborative Services, the Federal Circuit reversed a district court determination that method claims directed to methods for calibrating the proper dosage of thiopurine drugs by measurement of two metabolites were invalid as not directed to patentable subject matter.
Specifically, claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 6,355,623 reads as follows:
A method of optimizing therapeutic efficacy for treatment of an immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder, comprising:
(a) administering a drug providing 6-thioguanine to a subject having said immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder; and
(b) determining the level of 6-thioguanine in said subject having said immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder,
wherein the level of 6-thioguanine less than about 230 pmol per 8×108 red blood cells indicates a need to increase the amount of said drug subsequently administered to said subject and
wherein the level of 6-thioguanine greater than about 400 pmol per 8×108
red blood cells red blood cells indicates a need to decrease the amount of said drug subsequently administered to said subject.
The district court ruled that the claims had three steps: (1) administer the drug to a subject; (2) determine metabolite levels; and (3) be warned that an adjustment in dosage may be required. The court characterized the first two steps as data gathering steps and the third step as a mental step. The metabolite levels in the body "warn" the doctors to adjust the dosage; this is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the body and thus was not "invented" by the inventors.
The Federal Circuit reversed, holding that the claims meet the transformation prong of the Bilski test.
The transformation is of the human body following administration of a drug and the various chemical and physical changes of the drug's metabolites that enable their concentrations to be determined.
The court went on to make a much broader statement regarding methods of treatment claims:
The asserted claims are in effect claims to methods of treatment, which are always transformative when a defined group of drugs is administered to the body to ameliorate the effects of an undesired condition.
This statement seems to indicate that all claims that recite steps that include administration of a drug contain patentable subject matter.
The court also held that the claims that did not include this step also contained patentable subject matter based on the "determining" step. Determining metabolite levels requires a transformation of the substance being analyzed.
The Federal Circuit continued by noting that the district court erred in holding that the first two steps are merely data gathering steps. The Federal Circuit held that these steps are central to the claimed method and are themselves transformative.
A claim that contains patentable subject matter does not become unpatentable simply by adding a mental step to the claim. As long as the claim as a whole is not simply directed to mental steps, the claim is still patentable.
Finally, the district court relied extensively on the reasoning of Justice Breyer in his now infamous dissent from the dismissal in Lab Corp. v. Metabolite Labs. The Federal Circuit dismissed this reliance in a single footnote, noting that "[t]hat dissent is not controlling law and also involved different claims from the ones at issue here." Hopefully, this will finally put reliance on Lab Corp. to bed.
The Federal Circuit again noted the helpfulness of the various amicus briefs filed supporting each side in this case. They continue to signal a desire to the patent community to file such briefs.

Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) – A Toyota 4-Runner rolled into a backyard Monday afternoon after the vehicle went off the road and crashed through a fence.
It happened around 5 p.m. in Fruita near Maple Court and Sabil Drive.
An elderly driver says she accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.
"I had just stepped outside and this car, I could see it coming towards the stop sign of the street right here, and it didn't stop," says Wendy McCarthy, who was at the home at the time of the accident. "It just kept coming, and it came through the fence. I stepped off to my left and moved out of my way, and it drove through the house."
There were no injuries and minimal damage to the outside of the house. The elderly driver was given a citation for careless driving.
