Massive turnout for 3rd Blackfriars Flashride as Londoners say 'No' to TfL plan +video
2500 riders + polticians from all main parties call on Mayor and TfL to think again
Previous News
Londoners came out in force yesterday to express their disapproval of Transport for London's plans to change the road layout around Blackfriars Bridge with an estimated 2500 people turning out for yesterday's third Blackfriars Flashride. Protesters say the planned changes will make the area less safe for cyclists and pedestrians who between them easily make up the majority of peak time users of the bridge.
The 2500 turnout was more than double the number expected by the London Cycling Campaign which organised the ride and over 10 times the number of cyclists that took part in the first Blackfriars Flashride back in June. Yesterday's ride included representatives from all the political parties including Jenny Jones and Brian Paddick 2012 mayoral candidates for the Green and Liberal Democrat parties respectively. Representatives of all four main parties had already combined in the London Assembly to call on TfL to reconsider its plans and come up with a more cyclist and pedestrian friendly plan – so far to no avail
However last night was not about the politicians it was about the people of London making their voices heard and that they certainly did. The ride assembly point was Doggets Pub on the southern side of the bridge and by the scheduled start time the line of riders waiting to go stretched well back towards Waterloo. As these pictures from the ibikelondon blog show cyclists of every type, young and old turned out to make their displeasure known about TfL's current plans for the road layout around Blackfriars.
Earlier this week the London Cycling Campaign unveiled it's own design for Blackfriars one which put the interests of cyclists, pedestrians and public transport very much at the heart of road design, but which also simplified the road layout for all road users. A similar double T-junction design was considered and rejected by TfL at the early stages of the official design process on "capacity" grounds. However cycling groups and London's politicians say that TfL's original design and its subsequent revisions make the whole area less safe for cyclists and pedestrians and fail to take account of the fact that cyclists make up a growing proportion of traffic on the bridge accounting for a third of peak time traffic by the latest estimates - on five of London's bridges cyclists now account for more than half of peak time traffic.
On the same day as the LCC unleashed its alternative vision for Blackfriars Transport for London Commissioner, Peter Hendy called for a "Century of Cycling" with significant investment in infrastructure projects to further continue the rapid growth of cycling in London and to spread the benefits far beyond the capital.
Last night on Blackfriars Bridge, Londoners and their politicians told him to put his money where his mouth is.
The controversy over TfL's design for Blackfriars is rapidly becoming a touchstone issue on which the cycling credentials of London's poltician's and of the current 'Cycling Mayor' Boris Johnson will be judged - Transport for London's position looks increasinlgy untenanable in the face of protest from all sides which in turn leaves a large question mark over the depth of the Mayor's commitment to his own Cycling Revolution.
Given the commissioner's comments and the fact that next year is an election year for London's politicians there is still all to play for at Blackfriars.
You can find out more about the campaign for a safer Blackfriars Bridge at lcc.org.uk and for a eye witness account of yesterday's ride visit ibikelondon who also supplied the pics for this story.

I played a concert this week and noticed that my page-turner, sitting beside me at the piano, was holding what looked like a generous square of fudge in her left hand. As a fudge fan myself, I didn't find it hard to imagine why one would wish to have a square of fudge on stage, but she seemed to be holding it with unusual care. Eventually I allowed myself to ask what it was.
'It's a square of wet sponge', she explained. Not cake sponge, you understand, but the kind of sponge you clean the kitchen with. ' I got the idea from watching bank staff counting out notes. They use a pad of something wet to moisten their fingertips so they can easily leaf through notes without getting two at once. I hold the sponge like this, moisten the fingertips of my right hand on it, and then lean forward and turn the page. It helps me not to distract the pianist by fumbling with the pages right in front of their line of vision.' What a brilliant idea! And it worked like a charm.

Davenport, Florida -- UPDATE: Polk County sheriff's deputies have named the man killed in Monday's brutal home invasion off Forest Drive.
Officials say 30-year-old Jesse Allen Shivers was shot after two armed, Hispanic men forced their way into the home and demanded to see one of the people inside.
The suspects reportedly began arguing with Shivers, and 26-year-old Christina Assad, who was also in the home, before one pulled out a gun and threatened them.
Despite Assad's warning of calling police, the argument intensified, and one of the men shot Shivers.
Shivers reportedly died at the scene. Officials say no one else was harmed.
They do not believe this was a random act, and their investigation is still on-going.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd will be holding a press conference shortly in reference to a fatal shooting at a Davenport home Monday afternoon.
So far, the sheriff's office says the shooting occurred around 1:09 p.m. at home on Forest Drive. Investigators say two men forced their way into the home and began struggling with the victim. During the struggle, the man was shot and the two men fled the scene.
The identity of the man killed has not been released at this time.
10 News will have more on this incident as soon as information becomes available.

The Olympics are coming. London will host this year's competitions. With so many sports and so many athletes from so many countries, the interest in the event is very high.
Of course, many of the races and competitions will be broadcasted by local televisions, it will be almost impossible to miss the biggest sports and the biggest athletes.
But with a competition so large, not everything will be covered. Which is why it's great that YouTube has struck a deal with the International Olympic Committee to stream many of the events on the site live.
"Millions of Olympic fans from across 64 territories in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will have a chance to watch the games live from London," YouTube wrote.
"In total, the IOC's YouTube Channel will offer fans in these countries over 2,200 hours of high-definition sporting event coverage from London 2012, including all the medal finals," YouTube explained.
YouTube will stream the full events only in a few countries, free of charge, where the IOC hasn't sold broadcast rights. Unfortunately for most of the world, that's not the case so you'll only get historic footage, teasers and probably highlights during the event.
Still, that still leaves a lot of places where the streams will be available. And sports fans are in for a treat. There will be 10 concurrent live streams from the event, streaming HD content from 9am to 11pm London time. There's also a non-stop news channel with the highlights and important events of the day.
"For those not in these particular countries, you can already watch historic clips from past Games on the IOC channel and teasers from London on the London 2012 YouTube Channel. Hopefully, these will hold you over until the triumphant entrance of the athletes at the Opening Ceremony on July 27," YouTube added.

Aberdeen and the Scottish Way of Life
Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland and is famous for being the oil capital of Europe. Although relatively large in size, Aberdeen is laid out in quite a compact style with much of the business and shopping district situated within a confined area, making it easier to find your way around. Union Street runs through the heart of the city and provides the focus for the main shopping area as well as being the site of many of the city's banks and restaurants. North East Scotland College's main site, the Aberdeen City Campus, is only five minutes walk from Union Street and gives students easy access to these facilities.
To find out more about Aberdeen, where to go and what to see, you can visit the Aberdeen and Grampian Tourist Board Information Centre which is on Union Street or phone (tel 01224 288828). Visit Scotland provides lots of information about Aberdeen and also tourist attractions all over Scotland (tel 0845 22 55 121 or www.visitscotland.com).
Other useful websites include:
- Aberdeen City Council (www.aberdeencity.gov.uk)
- Aberdeenshire Council (www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk)
- Scottish Tourist Guides Association (www.stga.co.uk)
The Scottish Way of Life
Scottish people are generally very welcoming and hospitable. It may take you a little time to adjust to the way of life in the UK and Scotland. Although the Scots are usually thought of as friendly people, they may seem more reserved than people in your home country and often do not display outward gestures of emotion.
Basic politeness is expected and you should make every effort to attend not only your lectures on time, but also any appointments or meetings you may have outside College. When waiting to be seen by someone, or to get on a bus or train or any other form of transport, or to pay for something in a shop, people form a queue and you will be expected to wait your turn - it is considered very rude to push yourself to the front of the queue!

i just had an ultrasound of my heart and it showed regurgitation and now i have a heart murmur i never had before.
every day i get chest pains that go into my right arm, im constantly dizzy, i feel like im burning up inside and it gets hard to breathe at times. i am a disabled veteran and i go to the va hospital. i have taken a tilt table test that i failed and for 5 minutes they could not take my blood pressure after it hit 84/43. this was the last bp reading i saw before i passed out.
i have to carry bayer with me because the chest pains hit me at any time and i get the nausea and sudden sweating chest pains, dizziness all that. all my ekgs always come back abnormal with the rbbb with synus bradycardia. i have a few friends that are paramedics and one that is a cardiologist and he says there is definitely something wrong with my heart. ii even keep a bp monitor with me to keep a record of my bp. its to the point i can tell when my bp is dropping without the monitor. i cant keep going like this.

text: The La Pietra Garden is one of the most celebrated in Italy. A Renaissance revival garden, it reflects the tastes of the large Anglo-American community that lived in Florence at the turn of the nineteenth century. Laid out by the Actons between 1908 and the early 1930s, it drew its inspiration from the sixteenth century gardens of Florence. One of its special features is its numerous sculptures (there are over 180 of them), ranging in date from Roman times through the 17th Century and including 19th Century copies. As Harold Acton points out in his Memoirs of an Aesthete (1948) the garden of an Italian villa constitutes the natural extension of the house: at Villa La Pietra the sequence of rooms in the house and garden is developed on two perpendicular axes and provides unexpected views in all directions, both indoors and out. Such vistas, many formal in composition, others occurring almost as happy accidents are often made up of combinations of objects, of varying age, made of contrasting materials, colors, forms and styles which perfectly illustrate the eclectic taste prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Oliver C. Carmichael 1937-1946
To replace James H. Kirkland, the board named Oliver C. Carmichael, 46, then dean of the graduate school at Vanderbilt, as chancellor. This signaled a turning point for the university because Carmichael already had shown that he favored an institution more attuned to current problems than the older, more elitist Vanderbilt. As dean, he wanted more emphasis on graduate work and research and a more flexible curriculum.
These changes were opposed by many of the older faculty. Despite a protracted fight, Dean Carmichael backed down and saw few of his changes become reality.
After 1937, however, he had the big stick of the chancellorship. He proved to be a consummate politician, and in time he achieved most of his changes through persuasion rather than coercion.
Carmichael grew up on an Alabama farm. He graduated from Alabama Presbyterian College, received a master's degree at the University of Alabama, then was awarded a Rhodes scholarship. While Rhodes Scholars at Oxford, Carmichael and a fellow student, Harvie Branscomb, were among a group of American student volunteers who worked for Herbert Hoover's Commission for Relief in Belgium. For smuggling a politically sensitive letter from Cardinal Mercier through the German lines, the two were awarded the Medaille du Roi Albert, Medaille de la Reine (Belgium). Their friendship would shape Vanderbilt's destiny for nearly three decades.
After working as a YMCA employee in India and East Africa and doing a stint in the U.S. Army, Carmichael came home to be principal of a high school and later president of Alabama College, a small women's college.
Carmichael had an engaging personality and had become widely known in Southern academic circles as an expert on educational philosophy. These factors led to his being tapped to head the new graduate school at Vanderbilt.
Later, as chancellor, Carmichael's political skills resulted in what may be the greatest single achievement of his administration, the establishment of the Joint University Libraries serving Vanderbilt, Peabody and Scarritt College.
In 1945, Carmichael resigned to become head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Vanderbilt board, following a lengthy search, picked a 51-year-old biblical scholar named Harvie Branscomb, then dean of the divinity school at Duke University.

ETF and index investing Featured
Some great, low cost indexed unit trusts are giving the ETF industry a run for its money.
Recently, I was struggling for ideas for an article so I asked people (via Twitter) what Personal Finance issues they were most interested in.
Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) was the clear favourite so I decided it was time to review this topic. I also wanted to see whether the unit trust industry has finally started catching up to ETF's by offering low-cost, indexed unit trusts.
I am happy to report that that there are some great, low cost indexed unit trusts that are giving the ETF industry a run for its money, especially for smaller monthly debit orders.
I believe Satrix 40 should be the lowest cost equity ETF in South Africa as it has been going the longest and has accumulated a lot of investors' money, nearly R8 billion. It has already achieved economies of scale, so the fixed investment costs of the ETF are being spread across a massive pool of money. Satrix 40 has a Total Expense Ratio (TER) of 0.45%, which I feel is too high for such a large ETF. By comparison, the RMB Top 40 ETF is tiny with assets of R676m but the TER is only 0.20% - half the cost of Satrix! In this industry, size gives you a big advantage and usually makes your product cheaper so I am at a loss to explain the higher fees of Satrix. As one of their earliest investors, I am disappointed. However, I was happy to read recent reports on Moneyweb that Satrix are launching unit trusts too, let's hope their costs are going to be low.
In the paragraphs below I have provided my favourite indexed investments for a range of different types of investors. At the outset, I would like to clarify (especially to the product providers who will email me after this article) that these are my preferred indexed investments based on a range of factors including: cost, ease of use, personal preference and quality of service.
My best option for a small monthly debit order (R200 or more)
Sanlam Equally Weighted Top 40 Index unit trust. It will cost you 0.57% per year with no debit order fees or other administration costs. Yes, it is more expensive than Satrix 40 which has a TER of 0.45% but you still need to include administration costs (for Satrix) which will make Satrix more expensive.
My best option for an indexed Retirement Annuity with a smaller monthly debit order
The company "10X" has a silly name but great products. Their Retirement Annuity has a total cost of 1.1%. This is a good option for people investing small lump sums or smaller monthly debit orders.
My best option for a large lump sum into an indexed investment
Nedgroup Investments is one of SA's largest unit trust companies. They have quietly been operating in the index space for the last three years. Their Core Diversified index unit trust has a TER of 0.47% for very large investments which I think is unbeatable at the moment for a diversified portfolio, which includes offshore indices.
My best option for large lump sums invested in ETF's
Open a stock broking account with a low cost broker who charges you a small transaction cost and a low monthly fee. If you trade in large amounts and plan to hold the investment for long periods of time, this will work out cheaper for you. You will need to review which ETF's to choose and you should consider their TER's before making a decision. I like combining ETF's; for example a Top 40 or a Swix with a Rafi or Divi or something similar.
There are an increasing number of indexed unit trusts being launched by a range of product providers, let's hope that their costs will be lower than the current range of funds. Other than the Sanlam Equally Weighted and the Nedgroup Core funds, most of the existing index tracker funds have TER's approaching 0.70% which is still too high.
In summary, if you are a fan of index investing, you need to investigate unit trusts and ETF's. Try to ensure that you understand all the costs, including debit order fees, administration fees, advice fees (if applicable) and the TER's. Sometimes a fund with a low TER can still be expensive because of the other costs of buying the actual investment.

Life goes on in UP-Tacloban-A A +A
Saturday, February 15, 2014
TACLOBAN CITY -- Students flocked to the multi-purpose building, past mounds of sand and piles of hollow blocks.
A national artist was in the campus for an event celebrating the National Arts Month.
Poems about the devastating typhoon, printed on tarpaulin, were hung along one of the hallways of the Arts and Sciences building.
The University of the Philippines Visayas-Tacloban College (UPVTC) bustled with activity last Feb. 7, a day short of three months since super typhoon Yolanda.
The college hosted the Dayaw Taboan Arts Festival, which gathered local artists and featured a poetry exhibit and poetry performances, among other activities, at the multi-purpose building.
National artist for literature Bienvenido Lumbera graced the event as a guest speaker.
Cleared of debris
Written on a streamer hung at the gate was the festival's theme: "Paglaum Ha Panahon Han Katalagman (Hope in the Time of Crisis)".
The UPVTC campus was back to the daily grind, with teachers and students, albeit fewer, attending classes and participating in campus activities, such as the arts festival.
Except for a few logs lying along the covered walks, the campus has been cleared of debris.
When Yolanda struck last Nov. 8, it toppled the newly built fence around the AS grounds. It tore the roofs off the buildings, uprooted trees, broke the glass windows and drenched almost all campus equipment.
Located a few meters from the coast, the campus was not spared by the storm surge. Damage to structures was estimated at P14 million. That excluded the cost of destroyed equipment, which included at least 250 computers.
An exodus of students ensued after the typhoon. More than 500 cross-enrolled in other UP campuses, including UP Cebu.
Typhoon Yolanda, which claimed the lives of at least three UPVTC students, struck on the scheduled date of enrollment for second semester.
About 800 students stayed. The official start of the second semester was on Jan. 6, but most students did not return until around the third week of the month.
UPVTC Dean Anita Cular said the college is recovering with the help of the university and other organizations.
Officials from the mother campus of the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) in Iloilo arrived in UPVTC three days after the typhoon, bringing P250,000 in initial cash aid.
Cash aid for faculty
With the help of UPV, the college has converted the student lounge into a dormitory for boys.
Sands, hollow blocks and other construction materials lay inside the campus for shelters a non-government organization called LifeBox is building for students.
The UP allocated P3.8 million to provide free lunch to all students who stayed in UPVTC for four months, starting last Feb. 10.
Cular said the university is also set to release P4.3 million for cash aid to at least 153 faculty members and staff workers in the college this coming week.
The college has raised P430,000 in cash donations from different UP campuses and private organizations.
Apart from that, a UP alumna raised P1 million in donations in Japan and is set to turn over the amount to the college in March, Cular said.
With the help it continues to receive, Cular said she is confident the college will fully recover sooner. "There are challenges, but many are helping," she told Sun.Star Cebu.
The students, however, continue to clamor for more aid. Shawn Capucion, vice chair of the University Student Council, said they are appealing to UP president Alfredo Pascual to grant free tuition to all students for at least one semester.
Most in need
He lamented that many resorted to student loans to be able to enroll after the typhoon, while those who cross-enrolled in other campuses were granted free tuition and monthly stipends.
"The students who stayed are the ones most affected. We are making do with what's left of the campus," Capucion told Sun.Star Cebu.
Aside from the free lunch, Cular said, more than 200 students will receive a monthly stipend of P2,000 for four months, starting February. These students belong to Bracket E1, the second to the lowest bracket.
Under the university's Socialized Tuition System, students are divided into five income brackets, from A to E.
Those who belong to lowest income bracket (E) enjoy free tuition. This income bracket is further divided into two, with E2 receiving P2,400 in monthly stipend.
The Student Council has written the UP Board of Regents, the university's highest policy-making body, requesting the release of funds for the purchase of a photocopy machine.
Capucion said the council wants to operate a photocopy machine and charge a much lower price compared to photocopy centers outside the campus.
They also asked the board to hasten the replacement of ruined computers and library materials.
Like the students, employees also need assistance after losing their homes.
Planned transfer
May Baltonado, 21, a faculty member, said she hopes the university can hasten the release of cash aid for the employees. The typhoon destroyed her family's house in Ormoc City.
She said teachers can better serve the students if their own needs are addressed.
"As faculty members, we have an obligation to report to work. But at the same time, we have personal needs we need to take care of," she said.
During the onslaught of the typhoon, Baltonado held on to the ceiling fan at the girls' dormitory to keep from drowning. The water almost reached the ceiling of the dormitory, where she and more than 30 students were staying.
University officials are planning to transfer the UPVTC campus, which is situated within the 40-meter no-build zone, to Sta. Elena, one of the farthest barangays of Tacloban where the UP owns a 113-hectare property. The transfer is expected to take place in three to five years.
In the meantime, the students and teachers will go on with their academic lives in the storm-battered campus, constantly reminded of the typhoon by the missing trees, but also of hope and new beginning by the fresh leaves sprouting on the surviving ones. (Sun.Star Cebu)

Nine-man Paulton Rovers head in to the play-off final after away victory
Posted: May 02, 2014|
PAULTON Rovers boss Nick Bunyard has hailed the performance his side showed in Tuesday evening's 3-1 Southern League Division One South & West play-off semi-final win over Tiverton Town, but admitted the victory was slightly marred with the dismissal of two of his players.
Rovers midfielder Dean Evans was shown a red card in the first half, while Sam Teale received a second yellow card on the hour mark.
But after Michael Nardiello had given the hosts the lead, a brace from striker Nick McCootie and a Marcus Mapstone goal was enough to send nine-man Paulton through.
Bunyard was quick to express his frustration with the sending off of two of his players.
He said: "We're delighted to get through and credit goes to the players for grinding out the win.
"But I'm disappointed and frustrated with the two guys that were sent off. They're two red cards that I think cast a bit of a shadow over what was a great victory for us.
"I'm just sick and tired of sounding like a broken record with poor refereeing performances that we've been subjected to.
"It was a miracle, considering we were down to nine players, that we managed to get the result – I just want a fair crack of the whip. "We were very harshly treated with the first sending-off, and Sam's in the second half was something that shouldn't have happened because his first yellow with his first tackle of the game shouldn't have warranted a card.
"It's put us in a difficult position, but we will regroup and aim to put nine months of good work together and grab a win next week."
Paulton face Merthyr Town on Monday in the play-off final – a side who were narrowly beaten to the league title by Cirencester Town.
They will play on the 4G surface at the Cigg-e Stadium and will be without suspended trio, Evans, Teale and Stuart Tovey, while Josh Jefferies, Ryan Batten and Ryan Bath will all be absent due to injury.
Meanwhile, Mangotsfield United boss Richard Thompson has expressed his surprise in seeing his side clinch a 3-0 victory over Bristol City Reserves in the GFA Senior Challenge Cup final.
United ended the Division One South & West campaign in 11th place after a decline in form, and Thompson said: "Given the performances we've been putting in lately, I really didn't see this coming!
"We know we have good players here and of course I'm chuffed we won, for the players and the supporters. They deserved to win on the night because we looked solid and well organised. It's just so disappointing that we couldn't turn it on in the league."

November 20, 2009 8:44 PM
A friend asked me, "What's for dinner tonight," while we were haphazardly running alongside the Strawberry Creek from Barker Hall to Bancroft after attending a seminar about plant pathogen interactions given by Alexander M. Jones.
I quickly replied, "Bruschetta."
She stared at me for two quick seconds and innocently asked, "But didn't you have bruschetta for Thursday's and Wednesday's AND Tuesday's dinner?"
I laughed and responded with, "Yup. I'll take it one step further. Bruschetta was on the menu for Thursday's, Wednesday's, Tuesday's, Monday's, Sunday's and Saturday's dinner AND lunch."
"Uhhh... no green smoothie?"
"Is there a need to ask that question?"
"Green smoothies complemented the bruschetta during some lunches. LaraBars were for breakfast."
"Wow... dude Amelia, you are one strange girl."
"Hahaa… Thanks buddy. I'll take that as a genuine compliment."
To make matters more interesting, this 5 minutes conversation took place while fierce rain drops were relentlessly pelting every CAL student in sandals with no umbrellas like us two girls. And I mean PELTING. To illustrate, let's just say I was completely drenched (hopefully not in acid rain) by the time I unlocked my apartment door this afternoon.
So why bruschetta you may ask.
To thoroughly answer this question, I would need to talk about the Terry's Lab Thanksgiving Potluck last Saturday. As my two lab mates and I were harvesting our Puccinellia distan plants the afternoon before our potluck, the topic of what dish we were planning to bring came up. Being the person who is always eager to teach my friends how to make simple and easy foods (e.g. green smoothies); I eagerly explained a bruschetta dish I had in mind. Their interest quickly increased as I basically assured them it only takes three steps to make this easy dish. By the end of the hour, my girlfriends gave up trying to research for cooking recipes and asked if they could bring bruschetta to the potluck too. I enthusiastically said, "Definitely!"
To be fair, I actually did not know such goodness existed before my boyfriend shared his brilliant bruschetta recipe to me. With his permission, here is the abridged version of the email he sent me regarding how to make bruschetta:
You'll need:
Bread: Olive pugliese [trust me, people at Berkeley Bowl will know what type of bread this is]. Remove ends, slice 1 inch thick and coat with....
Hummus: Berkeley Bowl has generic humus. You could even get the garlic one.
For the topping:
4 LARGE RIPE tomatoes.
Couple of basil leaves
Olive oil
Olive tapenade - ask them about this. They know what I'm talking about. This stuff is salty so be careful with it.
Here's a pretty good recipe:
Pugliese and hummus would be more than enough. Add to that some olive tapenade and you'll have people smiling.
Next we gotta' teach you how to make the topping. In short, chop up the tomatoes into thick 'cubes'. Put in a bowl and throw in a healthy splash of olive oil and some sliced basil and bam. There you have it. IMPORTANT: DO THIS ONLY A FEW MINUTES BEFORE SERVING.
Healthy additions: Into that simple mix I've also thrown in cabbage [believe you're a big fan of!] and avocado to make a tomato-slaw kind of thingee.
Since one lab mate was obligated to go to SF the morning of the potluck and my other lab mate lived ten minutes from UC Berkeley by car, I offered to make the bruschetta for all of us. They at first protested but I assured them that cutting up a couple more tomatoes won't be a big deal at all.
So after we finished with our harvest, we stopped by Berkeley Bowl for the ingredients. Before we entered the store, my lab mates basically told me that I need to tell them exactly what to do since they did not have the foggiest idea how to make bruschetta. Thus as their blind friend leading two blind helpers, we started a 2 hour shopping spree at 5:45 pm on a Friday night.
To save you the boredom of reading about our exhausting search for some strange Olive tapenade ingredient and the agonizing trouble we went through to choose perfect tomatoes, let's just say that we left Berkeley Bowl with:
5 loaves of bread, 15 large (unripe) tomatoes, 3 bundles of basil, a 34 oz of extra virgin olive oil bottle (WHY Berkeley Bowl needs to carry A GAZZZILLION different kinds of EVOO is beyond my comprehension), 3 glass jars of questionable tapenade wannabes, and 3 family sized hummus containers.
I know I know. NOW you're probably thinking that I'm one loco girl for suggesting that we buy so much food for a potluck of only 12 people. I have to admit, the art of shopping for groceries and clothes is just way too difficult for me to understand. In my defense, I figured that more is always better. I told myself that it would be bad if I risk the chance of letting people down by not having enough bruschetta. Just in case my lab mates end up falling madly in love with my bruschetta and ask for thirds, fourths or quite possibly sixths. Unfortunately, I never stop to think that Professor Terry will make sure sure there is going to be a plethora of food at the party. Or that everyone is planning to bring food...
It quickly became apparent that my ambitious bruschetta 'cooking' frenzy was a tad bit on the excessive side. But that was perfectly okay since I spoiled myself silly with delicious hummus and questionable tapenade wannabes for practically a week now! =)
Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, maybe you too could whip up some bruschetta and share the goodness of this vegan dish with your family and friends!
do you like the happy face I made?
standard avocado garnish :)

CCCI honors young leaders-A A +A
By Mia A. Aznar
Sunday, February 23, 2014
TO END its year-long centennial celebration, the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry not only celebrated its past feats, it looked to the future of Cebu business by choosing six young business leaders to steer the way.
The six chosen ones were introduced Friday with fanfare and a mission to strengthen the capability of CCCI members through linkages and synergy that would lead to global competitiveness of Cebu business.
The Outstanding Business Young Leaders of Cebu come from varied backgrounds and businesses.
Enrilen Joy Benedicto heads Enrison Land Inc., which operates the 159-room Be Resorts in Mactan. It is also "rapidly expanding" operations in Bohol and Cebu, with two more resorts in the planning stages. Enrilen is the daughter of Consul Enrique Benedicto, who was named CCCI entrepreneur of the year in last year's Grand Chamber Awards for his achievement as chairman of Mabuhay Filcement Inc. Enrilen credited her grandfather Bernardo and parents Enrique and Helen for instilling in her values of frugality, business discipline, focus and passion.
Katherine Cheng started her home-based bakery with one employee in 2002. Today, she has 10 outlets of Baker Bob and Kate's Bakery Products around Metro Cebu and Cagayan de Oro and employs over a hundred.
In the beginning, she learned how to make do with limited resources and to balance work and family life. As her business grew, she also faced challenges on expanding and managing people in the organization. For her, one thing a leader should have is a vision.
For Edward Vincent Onglatco of the Hyundai Cebu Group, hard work and dedication are his traits. He took over the company from his father, who passed away 10 years ago.
The Cebu dealership was recognized as dealer of the year from 2007 to 2009 in the Philippines and in 2007 and 2009 in the Asia Pacific region. "It's not just the selling that's important but the customer's overall experience in using the car."
A self-made entrepreneur, Christian Paro-an has come a long way since his humble beginnings as an analog mobile phone agent. Today, RC Goldline is one of the leading retailers in gadgets and accessories. The company has over 120 employees in its 13 branches and 10 concept stores in Metro Cebu and Bohol. He constantly reminds his employees to put God first.
Rather than work for his parents, Vito Angelo Selma decided he would work with them.
Selma grew up with his family's Stonesets International furniture factory as his playground. "Design because you want to design, not because you want to become someone," he said.
Best leaders
For Nutech's Jason Yap, the best leaders lead by example. From a small office in a family-owned building downtown, Yap opened his company hoping to provide IT and security products. His organization now has 50 members handling end-user sales, corporate sales, wholesale and retail sales, CCTV installations, on-site and off-site technical support and logistics.
The six business leaders were chosen by a board of judges headed by CCCI past president Efren Valiente.
Also recognized were the past presidents of the chamber, who were presented with the centennial legacy awards. The chamber also gave special awards to partner institutions and researchers that have helped the, chronicle the events of the past.
While the past 110 years of the CCCI showed much has been done to drive Cebu's growth, CCCI president Lito Maderazo said the challenge lies in what they can do for the future. "The past events should challenge everybody on how to move forward. That the successes we have gained from the past should be equaled or even surpassed in the future," he said.

Elasticity-Inspired Deformers for Character Articulation
We present a new automatic skinning technique which mimics the quality of nonlinear elastic simulation at speed comparable to linear blend skinning.
Ladislav Kavan, ETH Zurich
Simulation of complex nonlinear elastic bodies using lattice deformers
We present a new approach for simulating nonlinear elastic bodies using lattice deformers. Our method accommodates arbitrary nonlinear materials, including anisotropic models of muscles, and supports arbitrary degrees of incompressibility. Our discretization treats models at a sub-voxel accuracy, while requiring a cost commensurate with simpler, merely voxel-accurate techniques.

RigMesh: Automatic Rigging for Part-Based Shape Modeling and Deformation
RigMesh is a sketch-based modeling tool for the creation and editing of articulated 3D shapes. A skeleton is generated from a silhouette sketch, and a valid rig is maintained throughout the modeling process; skeleton, skin weights, and a closed surface mesh are computed in real-time.
Peter Borosan, Rutgers University
Smooth Skinning Decomposition with Rigid Bones
This paper introduces the Smooth Skinning Decomposition with Rigid Bones (SSDR) that can effectively approximate the skin deformation of nearly articulated models as well as highly deformable models by a low number of rigid bones and a sparse, convex bone-vertex weight map.

Nary an Error To Be Found: The National Theatre's Comedy of Error is Flawless
Guest Post by Anne Carter Hutchinson
While it is called The Comedy of Errors, the National Theatre Company in London seems to have left out the "errors" part.
Director Dominic Cooke's cast turned in stunning performances of Shakespeare's comedy that were crisp and entertaining, and though there is certainly room to go over the top in this zany misadventure, this performance stopped short of caricature.
Now I should preface this review by stating that I am easily entertained in the theatre and have never had trouble suspending my disbelief. But I found the performance so tightly bound together by the cast that even the most sceptical of viewers would be hard pressed to say that he did not find humor in the production. The comic timing was spot on, the concept was believable, and the twins actually looked identical, to the point that even when they were on stage together, I could not tell the two Dromio characters, played by Daniel Poyser and Lucian Msamati, apart.
Set in a modern context, the set was rife with scaffolding and buildings that moved and converted to the various settings. The Phoenix, Antipholus's (Lenny Henry) lodging, for instance, emerged from the back of the stage and wedged itself between two other buildings, presenting itself as a two story condominium complete with a neon sign and coordinated trim. Most of his wife Adriana's (Claudie Blakely) opening scenes are delivered from the balcony with martini glass in hand, and it all plays perfectly to the miscommunication that ensues between the two characters who look like her husband.
My seat, thanks to the kind generosity of Jot and Quill editor, Josina Reaves, was just to the left of center stage in the front row, so at times, I felt as if I were part of the production. Being that close to the stage has a risk, often accentuating the slip-ups and missteps that naturally occur in a live production. Sometimes you can see backstage, for instance, and the illusion is broken. But so complete was the staging that even those moving around behind the scenes were in character, bolstering the concept of the busy city.
So, should you be lucky enough to live in proximity of London's National Theatre, I highly recommend you catch this production before the end of its run on 1 April. I, for one, am glad that Josina allowed me to be a part of it. I WAS there!

The only down side to our stay at Breydon Water was the evening entertainment, or should I say lack of it
The kids entertainment went on far too long for the amount of kids in the room (3) the kids entertainers didn't seem to know what to do at times, with long pauses of silence and kids looking at each other saying what now ?
The volume on the microphone and music was far too loud, you couldn't hear yourself think.
However the caravan and surrounding area was very nice, with easy access to the sea front and Great Yarmouth,
We would stay at Breydon Water again..............but not for the entertainment
Our first impressions of the park; it looked ok, smaller than we were expected but that was fine. The caravan was better than expected, I cannot fault it at all.
The first night we decided to go to the clubhouse - just before we got to the clubhouse we encountered 2 security guards beating up a guy as he apparently said something out of place to them!!!
The clubhouse itself seemed to be lacking in staff, dirty glasses, plates and sweet wrappers on most of the tables. We went a few times, then decided it wasn't for us.
Fantastic and lovely place, great accommodation very clean and tidy. Location was perfect. I strongly recommend this site and we will be defiantly be rebooking and are considering buying on this site
Our caravan was filthy, sticky, dirty floors, awful smell and generally grubby.
It took staff 3 days to finally give it a proper clean. At no point did management contact us to offer apologies.
Love a good caravan holiday but would never go back to this particular park. When we left I went to reception to ask how to put in an official complaint and my husband was outside with kids and heard other staff gossiping about our stay/issues.
We have been offered an upgrade on our next holiday but I won't be using it.
Place is quiet and good for families. It could do with more facilities/activites. pool time very limited.
Caravan was filthy - bathrooms and kitchen a disgrace - noise from the entertainment at night was unacceptable
Breydon Water is a good all round park. The facilities are average-good. The outside swimming pool is nice and well kept. The restaurant is good and the food is not bad value for money. The negatives are the club room is too small in my opinion and can not accommodate the number of people on site at peak times. The amusement arcade is small and needs improving with more child friendly machines. The park recycling facilities are extremely poor and this is without a doubt something that needs improving. Overall I would go there again but there are much better parks out there for the same money.
This park was basic and in need of some tlc. When we arrived the reception area was blocked by a flooded walk way. The bar was lovely but on the small side, as was the arcade and entertainment hall. Although on the plus side these are clean.
If you didn't know this park us split into two different areas! We didn't know this...
One side has an indoor pool the other an outdoor, which if you have children isn't great, were had to drive across to the pool and back as it was roo far for our little one too walk. The play area needs updating
Enjoyed every moment there
A nice restfull week the caravan was very clean and comfortable nice and quiet at bed time but found the evening entertainment room very cramped with little room to move but overall we had a very nice holiday and the grand kids loved it
Had to wait longer for keys and no one even said sorry about the wait . Things didn't work in the caravan extra . People who worked in club house where nice but people signing u in not friendly . Caravan not very clean . Think they need to look more inside kitchen cupboards ect . Plus you had quilt under the sheets as the mattress where lumpy . Plus I was on edge of the site f9 I think and there was plenty of litter around the back and under the caravan .
Was ok but 2 weeks to long
Absolutely fab holiday, outdoor swimming pool is gorgeously warm unbelievably clean and lovely staff. Bar and restaurant again both the nicest we've used at a park resort.
Great in general. Only points for improvement are:
Ants. These were in our caravan on arrival and big nests by the steps. Trap wasn't very effective.
Oven. It was very low power and took ages to cook anything in it. Table and stool legs. They were very sharp and cut our bare feet.
Sheets. Kept coming loose and our double sheet was actually another duvet cover.
very good holiday with lots to do, kids enjoyed themselves

The U.S. raises some 100 million pigs for food each year, virtually all in factory farms. Industrial-scale pig farms are known for their intensive, inhospitable conditions.
Quick Facts
- Pigs can live up to 15 years, but most of those raised on factory farms are slaughtered at just six months.
- Both male and female pigs are raised for food.
- Pigs are very intelligent—as smart as or smarter than most dogs! They are one of only a few species Americans consider suitable for both keeping as pets and raising for food.
The Basics
At just two to three weeks old, piglets are removed from their mothers and placed in large, windowless sheds without fresh air, sunlight or outdoor access. Their pens are too small and crowded for adequate movement and exercise. Ammonia fumes rise to dangerous, uncomfortable levels due to the pigs' waste.
Pigs tend to be extremely curious and mentally engaged, but their barren surroundings cause them extreme frustration. The tail-biting that sometimes results leads farms to cut off pigs' tails without painkillers. Farms also castrate baby male pigs—without painkillers—because consumers don't like the smell and taste of uncastrated males.
Hidden Connections
Every pig raised for pork was born to a mother sow. Most sows in the U.S. spend their reproductive lives confined to a gestation crate. These crates are barely bigger than the sow's body and prohibit her from turning around. Sows are artificially inseminated and kept in their gestation stalls until a few days before birth, at which time they are moved to equally restrictive farrowing crates to give birth. They remain in there for two to three weeks, nursing their young, and then are placed back in their gestation crates and re-inseminated. This cycle continues for several years, until the sows are no longer as productive and are sent to slaughter.
Experience For Yourself: Virtual Gestation Crate
Use your computer mouse to navigate around the gestation crate and see what life looks like for a pregnant sow.
