This twin guest room is in a centrally located apartment in idyllic location close to the lakes between Østerbro and Nørrebro.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms, this one has two twin beds and the other room has double bed (see my other listings). This quiet and cozy room has two comfortable twin beds, a wardrobe, a cupboard with a TV, two wicker chairs and a coffee table.
The room is bright and spacious and you can always count on a fresh bouquet of flowers on the table and you also have a nice view of the street and Copenhagen everyday life. There is a small kitchen for cooking and a fridge and freezer (Tea-kitchen and coffee maker are provided). The bathroom is right next to the room on the same floor.
The flat is at walking distance from the city center with shopping and food shops. Although for being so central it is a quiet and friendly street with very little traffic. The four lakes in the city are located only 10 minutes' walk from the main square of the city "The city hall square".
This location provides a great opportunity to experience this piece of green city on foot. The States Museum of Art is also within walking distance and is definitely worth a visit. Bus 14 to Nørreport Station and the bus 14 and 40 to Central Station.
Grocery stores are located within 20 meters of this rental flat. This flat is a good place to go on family holiday, since it is possible to borrow a children's cot.
Make yourself at home!
If you stay just 1 night then an extra fee of 50 dkr will be added per person and shall be payed at arrival

Ulla, notre hôte, est chaleureuse et accueillante. La chambre est agréable et le quartier plein de charme, calme, un petit bijou de vie danoise.
La situation n'est cependant pas totalement "centrée" par rapport au centre commercial et piéton (nihavn, stroget). Par contre, la proximité de Norrebro, quartier dynamique et branché, est aussi un atout.
Why staying in an expensive, impersonal, noisy hotel when you can stay in Ulla's house?! The rooms are small and no big luxury, but there is all you need. The house, in a quiet residential street but not far from the city center, is beautiful. You can make your own breakfast or go to the delicious bakery on the corner. And then eat it in the front garden between rose bushes and ivy-grown walls. Rent a bike from one of the many local bike shops and hop around this very bike-friendly city. Then park it at the front door without any risk of it being stolen the next morning. We didn't see much of Ulla but are brief encounter was heartwarming! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Sehr schöne,zentrale Unterkunft im skandinavischem Stil.Die Besitzerin ist sehr herzlich,wir haben uns wohl gefühlt
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, ruhig und doch zentral. Ulla ist eine super Gastgeberin. Klasse Wohngegend, prima Biobäcker an der Ecke. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Ulla's was the ideal place for my 13 year old son and I to stay. The room was comfortable, the kitchen very handy for preparing not just breakfast but also sandwiches for lunch (to save us money when out and about), and the location was very quite and central. Ulla was very welcoming and made some great suggestions for places to visit. We would love to go back, may in the winter to experience Copenhagen in the winter!
Ulla keeps her smile for you. She is a very busy teacher, but she is there to help you. Just the bathroom needs more maintenance to look cleaner.
Ulla is a very friendly and helpful host.Her house is situated in a nice and calmly street with a very good bakery at the corner. Most points of interest were reachable by feet or bike. The way to the airport is short and directly. Several parks and lakes nearby. Room and kitchen are a little bit small but cosy and everything is available what probably could be needed.
In case we want to visit Cph once more we try to get a room again in Ulla's house.
Top-Lage in niedlicher und ruhiger Wohnstrasse mit Bäcker um die Ecke. Fahrrad Stellplatz im Garten.
Sehr empfehlenswert! Tolle Gegend, fußläufig in die City und sehr nette und unkomplizierte Vermieterin!
Ulla met us and gave us a very warm welcome. She was cheery and helpful. The room was great. There were quite a few of us with her, but all was well. We would stay there again - particularly with friends. It was perfectly located.

When using a UITableViewController, the initWithStyle: method automatically creates the underlying UITableView with - according to the documentation - "the correct dimensions".
My problem is that these "correct dimensions" seem 320x460 (the iPhone's screen size), but I'm pushing this TableView/Controller pair into a UINavigationController which is itself contained in a UIView, which itself is about half the height of the screen.
No frame or bounds wrangling I can come up with seems to correctly reset the table's size, and as such it's "too long", meaning there are a collection of rows that are pushed off the bottom of the screen and are not visible nor reachable by scrolling.
So my question comes down to: what is the proper way to tell a UITableViewController to resize its component UITableView to a specified rectangle?
Update I've tried all the techniques suggested here to no avail, but I did find one interesting thing: if I eschew the UINavigationController altogether (which I'm not yet willing to do for production, but as an experiment), and add the table view as a direct subview of the enclosing view I mentioned, the frame size given is respected. The very moment I re-introduce the UINavigationController into the mix, no matter if it is added as a subview before or after the table view, and no matter if alloc/init it before or after the table view is added as a subview, the result is the same as it was before.
I'm beginning to suspect UINavigationController isn't much of a team player...
Update 2 The suggestion to check frame size after the table view on screen was a good one: turns out that the navigation controller is in fact resizing it some time in between load and display. My solution, hacky at best, has been to cache the frame given on load and to reset it if changed at the beginning of tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:. Why there you ask? Because it's the one place I found that worked, that's why!
I don't consider this a solution as it's obviously improper, but for the benefit of anyone else reading, it does seem to work.

Family Services of Davidson County 10k Course Preview
I'm really going to try harder to take more pictures of the courses I measure. I got two this time, but my knee hurt like crazy and it was getting really cold. This 10k loop course takes runners on a tour of Rural "North" Lexington. It starts and finishes in the parking lot of the Family Services of Davidson County Office at 1303 Greensboro Street Extension.
The course runs north on Greensboro Street Extension, a 2 lane road, then turns left on Ridge Road, before another quick left onto City Lake Road. While on City Lake Road, the runners have a steep downhill then a gradual climb up past the scenic lake, on the right.
Once past the lake, the course descends briefly before climbing up to the high point where runners turn left on Hill-Everhart Road for a long descent on this two-lane rural road. Watch out for dogs on this road, I was chased by three, and save a little bit for the final uphill before the left turn back onto Greensboro Street Extension and the last quarter mile before the finish.
You'll retrace your steps within the parking lot before reaching the finish and refreshments at the end. The race date is May 12th this year and a link to registration will be posted here and here when they're updated.

Do not buy this product
This review is from: Cuisinart SS-300 Single Serve Coffee Maker, Silver
Pros: When it worked it made a good cup coffee
Cons: Stopped working after 4 uses, as others have experienced
Other Thoughts: Clearly a design problem due to large number of customers experiencing the same trouble. Cuisinart requires you to pay shipping to return the unit for a new one. The poor quality of this product is an insult to long-time Cuisinart customers.

Not impressive
This review is from: Cuisinart SS-300 Single Serve Coffee Maker, Silver
Pros: It works, kinda. Small footprint. Neat looking and Cuisinart. "Filters" water. See other thoughts.
Cons: Measured temp, only comes out at 180 degrees hottest. My Bunn comes out towards 200 for drip coffee. Was not impressed with wait time on each serving - you have to plug it in, fill the water to the mark you want, open the head unit and wait for water to drain through filter*, then wait about 2 minutes for it to heat up while making a weird whirring noise. A few times it didn't spit out the water and just sat there. Those times I had to unplug it and try again, where it heats the already-heated water again.
Other Thoughts: *Filter - Carbon filter, much like I have seen in some coffee makers. Instead of filtering through it, there are large gaps to each side of the filter allowing the water to rush around the filter rather than through it. I have never seen 10 oz. of water filter in less than 2 seconds before and wondered why. If you look down on it, there is a 1/16 inch gap all the way around the filter leading directly into the water tank.

Just found a pair of ST-r500 flight deck shifters on Craigslist for super cheap (maybe a divorce or a rich person's old take-offs??). Anyway, their loss is my gain, right?
I bought most of a 7400 group back in February (2x8), and I was thinking of replacing the downtube shifters with these. Can anyone think of a reason why they wouldn't work? I saw a review on Amazon that said a guy had trouble getting the shifters to reach the last 2 gears on his 7403 group. I think I am going to buy these either way, but are there any thoughts on the subject?

Senator Barry Obamboozler, campaigning in 2008 "the first thing I will do when I am president is to call in my attorney general and have he or she review every executive order to determine which of those have undermined civil liberties, which are unconstitutional, and I will reverse them with the stroke of a pen."
"I taught Constitutional Law for 10 years. I take the Constitution very seriously. And the biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive Branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm President of the United States of America."
So Flip Flopper in Chief Barry Obamboozler is working on his LIE OF THE YEAR for 2014 now.

When these Federal contractors take a look at their financials they will need to cut costs. Starting with the lay-offs of marginal employees and their related benefits.
Self-serve kiosks and robotics will be their next step in cutting costs.

text: LEXINGTON, Va., March 8, 2013 – For 1st Class Cadet Nickolas Richardson, two years of persistent effort are about to produce the realization of a dream: a three-person team of VMI cadets is headed to Italy to compete against 34 other military schools from around the world in the 12th annual International Competition on the Law of Armed Conflict. The competition, which is sponsored by the military department of the International Institute of Humanitarian Law, will be held at the organization's headquarters in San Remo, Italy, a city on the Mediterranean Sea near the Italian/French border.Richardson, along with fellow 1st Class Cadet Nicholas Bruno and 2nd Class Cadet Jonathan Mattingly, will make up the VMI delegation, accompanied by faculty adviser Col. Robert "Bob" James Jr., a 31-year veteran of the U.S. Army. Richardson, Mattingly, and James will depart from Roanoke en route to Nice, France, on March 16. Bruno is traveling to Vietnam over spring furlough, under the auspices of the Olmsted Foundation, and will fly from Hanoi to Nice on March 17. All will return to VMI on March 23.Richardson, who is double-majoring in international relations and modern languages and cultures (French), first became aware of this competition while, as a 3rd Class cadet, he was completing a semester at Ecole Speciale Militaire de Saint Cyr, more commonly known as Saint Cyr, which is France's premier military academy. The French school was sending a team that year, and Richardson wanted to be a part of it. He didn't make Saint Cyr's team, but he came back to VMI determined to do all he could to help the Institute form and send a team of its own. Earlier this year, Richardson joined forces with Bruno to work toward sending a VMI team to this spring's competition."We took it upon ourselves to set this thing up and see if we could get it rolling with two heads as opposed to one," Richardson explained. Together, Richardson and Bruno worked to secure funding from the Dean of Academics, the Center for Leadership and Ethics and the Department of International Studies. They then approached James and asked him to become their adviser. It was a natural fit, as James served as director of international affairs for the National Guard from 1995 to 2000 and now teaches a course in multi-national peacekeeping at VMI.Richardson and Bruno are serving as co-captains of this year's VMI delegation, while Mattingly hopes to bring institutional knowledge of the competition to VMI's team next year, said James.The three cadets and their adviser have been meeting each Tuesday night in Scott Shipp Hall to prepare for the five-day competition, which is designed to prepare future officers for a world in which armed conflict is mediated by the rules of international law. James explained that at the competition, cadet attendees will be divided into teams of three, with at least one native English speaker per team – a necessary requirement, given that the competition is conducted in English, even though the attendees will come from every continent except Antarctica. "The whole intent is to make them work as an international community," said James.Each team will be given a fictitious country, with a fictitious set of laws, and a problem, which must be solved according to both the laws of that country and international law, such as the Geneva Conventions, which regulate treatment of prisoners of war and the plight of civilians in war zones. Teams will have from Tuesday to Thursday to come up with solutions to their unique problems. On Friday, first- through third-place winners will be announced in both the team and individual categories, as judged by a panel of experts in the law of armed conflict.With just weeks to go before their scheduled departure, the trio of cadets and their adviser say that they don't want to just show up and then say they've been there – they're looking to place well in the competition and let the international community of military schools know that VMI is a force to be reckoned with."If we have an overall team concept, we want to have a great experience," James commented. "We also want to bring back some hardware."Richardson noted that when he was at Saint Cyr, people thought he was a West Point cadet – and he'd like to get VMI's name out on the international scene so that doesn't happen anymore.The cadets, meanwhile, all say that they are looking forward to an experience which will doubtless serve them well as they embark on military careers that will take them well beyond the borders of the United States. All three are planning to commission – Bruno and Mattingly in the Army, and Richardson in the Marine Corps."I'm looking forward to working with cadets from all sorts of military academies," said Mattingly, who spent the summer of 2012 training with the Spanish army as part of the Army ROTC's Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency (CULP) program."I love doing this – going and interacting with people with foreign militaries," said Bruno, who had a CULP experience in Slovakia and has also traveled to Germany and Taiwan."This is what I do," he continued. "I look forward to being a foreign area officer with the Army, so anything I can do to get abroad and interact with people from different nations and different militaries is a win for me."James concurred, saying that the cadets' greatest gain out of this experience is likely to be the relationships they form."In this day and age, we are an international community military," he said. "It's not unusual for the military to be totally integrated on an activity, whether it's a peace-keeping activity or just a training exercise. They're going to meet people they're going to run into later on in their career and that's important. It's the cultural aspect of it."–Mary Price

The top-ranked Northwestern women's lacrosse team ended a four-game road trip Sunday with an impressive 14-6 win over No. 8 Penn, a team that has given the Wildcats fits in the recent past.
Before Sunday, none of the last six games between the teams had been decided by more than four goals. Penn also is among the six teams to hand Northwestern one of its mere seven losses since the end of the 2004 season.
This time, the Wildcats (12-0) patiently foiled Penn's packed-in defense, controlling the ball for all but two minutes of the first half and almost as much in the second half. The Quakers (6-4) killed any hope of an upset with five unforced turnovers to open the game, and their efforts to regain possession devolved into repeated fouls (33 to Northwestern's 20).
Shannon Smith and Erin Fitzgerald had three goals apiece for Northwestern, which outshot Penn 24-11 while extending its win streak to 21.
Smith's first goal moved her into second place on the Wildcats' all-time list. The senior now has 231 - 43 this season - and is 19 behind Kristen Kjellman's school career record.
Northwestern finishes the regular season with five straight home games, including matchups with the teams ranked 4,5, 7 and 9 in last week's coaches' poll.
The first is Friday night against No. 4 North Carolina (13-1), which should move up in the poll after breating No.3 Maryland Saturday.

Letters from the Past
Laurie Smith Schutza
An essay that examines the almost lost art of the handwritten letter and their importance in preserving family stories. Inspired by a stack of letters my Dad wrote to his parents while in college in the 1950's, they spoke to me, revealing a side to my Dad I never knew. It is illustrated with his letters and family photos at this pivotal time in his life.

By TAN SHIOW CHIN
Three generations of unusual women experience love and tragedy in the early decades of the 20th century.
WHEN you are born with large wings that are inseparable from your body, it is not surprising that those of a religious bent might see you as an angel.
This is what happens when Ava Lavender is born.
Coming into the world wrapped in a pair of speckled wings, Ava soon attracts the devout, who gather below her mother's labour room, carrying candles and murmuring prayers.
Her mother, Viviane, so fears for Ava's safety – and indeed, for that of her autistic (non-winged) twin brother, Henry's – that she confines them to the house that they share with Vivianne's mother, Emilienne Roux Lavender.
Now, this might sound like the start of a fantasy book (or one about a repressed, abused child), but nothing could be further from the truth.
Rather, despite the title, it is the tale of three generations of unusual Roux women, beginning in the early years of the 20th century.
The story begins in the small French town of Trouville-sur-Mer, where we meet the Roux family: handsome, larger than life father Beauregard; quiet, nondescript mother known only as Maman (French for "mother"); and children Emilienne, Rene, Margaux and Pierette – all born on the first of March.
Their common birthday is the first indication the reader has that this family might not be quite as normal as everybody else.
And, indeed, as the story proceeds, readers will soon realise how truly unusual the Roux family – in particular, the women – are.
Tired of small village life, Beauregard is soon seduced by the American dream and decides to emigrate with his family to "Manhatine" (Manhattan) in 1912.
There, things don't turn out as rosy as Beauregard dreamt they would.
In fact, things end rather badly for most of the Roux family, resulting in Emilienne deciding to marry the limping Connor Lavender, on the condition that he takes her far away from Manhattan.
They eventually settle in Seattle, in a house with a strange, sorrowful legend of its own.
There, Emilienne garners a reputation as a witch and gives birth to Vivianne.
Connor dies soon afterward, and Emilienne is forced to continue his bakery business against the social odds.
The story soon shifts its focus to the young Vivianne; in particular, the relationship she develops with the boy next door, Jack Griffiths.
Events soon lead up to Ava and Henry's birth, whereupon Ava takes over as the central character. The entire story, though, is told in her voice.
First-time author Leslye Walton weaves an intriguing, and rather tragic, story about the three generations of Roux women.
Emilienne, Vivianne and Ava are all interesting characters in their own right, with distinct stories of their own.
I like the way Walton insinuated the more fantastical elements into an otherwise 20th-century slice-of-life novel, dropping them in matter-of-factly, without explanation.
We never know why the Roux women are so unusual, but that's all right because that's not the point of the story.
The climax of the book was less climatic than it should have been, considering the build-up to it, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the story, as Walton tied up all the threads quite satisfactorily. No sequels here!
If you fancy a well-written, interesting mix of whimsy, fantasy and tragedy, set in the more innocent decades of the 20th century, then do check out The Strange And Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender.

BOSTON Now a Washington, D.C., lawyer, Katie Durick graduated from Harvard Law School last year, where she took Elena Kagan's Administrative Law class. Durick says Kagan had only one requirement: that students come to class prepared. Two months into the class, Kagan had yet to call on Durick, so the student knew her number was coming up.
"All of my friends were going out," Durick said, "and I was just totally on the fence of whether or not to go celebrate Halloween, and I couldn't decide what to do, and I just had this feeling that the next morning, at 8 a.m., I would be called on. So much to my chagrin, I stayed in that night, and read the case over and over, and sure enough, the next morning, 8 a.m., I heard the fateful words, 'Miss Durick?' and I knew that I had made the right decision."
One of Durick's classmates, Joel Pollak, has made the decision to run as a Republican candidate for Congress in Skokie, Ill. At Harvard Law, he often spoke with Kagan. He disagreed with her decision to send e-mails to the school community when the military appeared on campus to recruit. The e-mails disclosed her distress over the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Pollak says there were law firms being sued by their employees for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation who were recruiting at the law school.
"And yet we didn't get alerts when these private law firms showed up on campus," Pollack said. "We only got alerts when the military showed up on campus, so I thought it was unfair to the military and the campus should have been welcoming, and she disagreed, but we disagreed very cordially, and although I disagreed with her, I found her very open to alternative points of view."
Kagan was committed to making students feel like Harvard Law School was a friendly place. She brought in an ice skating rink, free coffee and hot chocolate and happy hour. She pushed for financial support for students who wanted to go into public service.
Carol Steiker On Kagan
Diane Lucas, now a New York lawyer, welcomed these changes. But she was not so happy with Kagan's reaction to the Harvard Law School parody. It's a skit in which students roast other students.
"It was blatantly sexist and racist," Lucas said. "They depicted a number of women of color in the play, and one woman who is African-American, very intelligent, very well-spoken, they depicted her as being a ghetto girl from the 'hood' and they made her talk in ebonics and made it so that you could hardly understand what she was saying."
Lucas said another African-American woman was depicted as promiscuous, and a Latina woman who in reality spoke English with an American accent was depicted as speaking no English. She said several students walked out.
But Lucas says when she and other students asked Kagan to issue a formal apology, set up diversity training and hire a diversity director, Kagan refused. Kagan defended the parody as students' freedom of speech. From that, Lucas concluded that Kagan shirked her responsibility to make Harvard Law School a more racially sensitive place.

You Nasty!: Chinese Softshell Turtle Pees Out Of Its Mouth
My God it even LOOKS like something that would pee out of its mouth.
This is a Chinese softshell turtle. It pees out of it's mouth. That's nasty. It's being studying extensively by a Singaporean researcher named Shit Fun Chew, which the article I read made a big deal about as an example of nominative-determinism (your name dictates what you do in life), even though the turtle only PEES out of its mouth. Come on guys, maybe if it went number two that would actually make sense. Her name's not Urine Fun Gargle.
Thanks to my buddy Kevin, who tried to draw a similarity between talking to me and listening to something pee out of its mouth. Dammit Kevin I thought we were bros.

The Secret Honey Bees of SF's Restaurant Rooftops
By Carolyn Alburger on May 06, 2011 3:05 PM
Yesterday I climbed a ladder up to the rooftop of Nopa restaurant to visit its brand new baby bee hives. Owner Jeff Hanak has been working with Terry Oxford and Brian Linke of Urban Bee SF to cultivate a two-hive community for three weeks now. Weather permitting, its honey will surface on the food and cocktail menus below the roof as soon as June. The idea of freshly harvested honey on a menu is romantic and all, but these urban hives are really all about the bees.

Japan's inflation worrywarts good for risky assets

With the Polaris Music Prize 2011 gala fast approaching, everyone is talking about what records they think should win, which records they think were unfairly left off the list, and which records don't deserve it at all. No other music prize in the country seems to create this much discussion, and that suits Steve Jordan, Founder and Executive Director of the Polaris Prize, fine.
A former radio DJ and record executive, Steve started the Polaris Prize in 2006. Since then, the Polaris has increased in stature every year, developing a reputation for daring and surprising winners, and infuriating a lot of people along the way.
Steve and I are headed to Chew Chew's Diner in Toronto's historic Cabbagetown neightbourhood, where I'm hoping to get his take on all the craziness surrounding the prize every year.
I know a lot of blog listeners have been vocal about their opinions of how the Polaris operates, so maybe today I'll have some answers for you!
What are YOU having for breakfast?
Good Morning Breakfast Fans!
I can't wait to hear some Polaris dirt!
Breakfast today will be my usual yogurt, toast, and coffee.
I haven't left for work yet but I am shortly! Just wanted to say that I'm pretty excited for this show! Polaris dirt! Wooo! Hehe!
Breakfast today will be granola and coffee, I think....
K, be back soon!
Good Morning folks. The usual Oatmeal with fruit, and egg.
Lyrics in Gore Vale.
hey! this should be a very interesting Breakfast Club! I'll be listening (while catching up on the backed-up work from my sick days...oh cruel fate!)
breakfast? where we are going we don't need breakfast...
Steve Jordan is one of my favourite people in the whole wide world.
What he has done for Canadian music makers with the Polaris Music Prize is nothing short of awesome. What he has done for fans of Canadian music is also that fantastic.
Every September since the Prize has been in play, there has been an amazing engaged, and equally passionate conversation about the music we love all thanks to Steve and his Polaris vision.
While the award a single winner every year, the real winner is the music itself, and the fans who love it so.
I thought I was one of your favourite people in the whole wide world. :(
You are.
Right back at you Slim!
For anyone in the Toronto, Mississauga surrounding area: Basia Bulat is playing a free show at the Mississauga City Centre (Celebration Square) this Friday. The opener Sean Pinchin starts at 7:30 PM, Basia should be on at 8:30. It would be nice to see a good turnout for her show.
captain crunch cereal. good morningggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg cbcr3
Article containing pictures of Gaddafi's looted palace. Messy, not for everyone perhaps; informative.
morning benoit!
excellent! the sugar rush of cereals! yay!
Moi, coffee only for starters (after orange juice). Eggs and cantaloupe to follow. Or, conceivably, cantaloupe and eggs.
I try hard for variety.
Um, you call Cap'n Crunch a cereal??? Isn't it morning candy?
@taggy666 & benoit - considering the 4.5 we had at 1:07am this morning, i couldnt quite get back to sleep after that. Plus with the hurricane heading in my direction i still got work and we got to do hurricane prep there ontop of my actual house needing hurricane prep
Lockheed Martin Introduces the Giant Flying Butt of the Future
(Couldn't resist the headline, but the pictures are interesting.)
Good morning all.
I am listening earlier than I usually do today to hear the Steve Jordon interview.
Today and pretty much everyday coffee first while reading the newspaper, then 12 grain toast, yogourt and fruit.
Probably just an aftershock. That said, it sure gets your attention, huh?
I, me, didn't feel yesterday's bigger shock; after checking the time, I found I would have been driving. That would cover (or camouflage, or damp) any noise and vibrations. Totally unaware.
All the best for the upcoming hurricane -- may it veer Northward and hit New York! (Hey, I'm really dispelling fate by talking about it!)
how I love thee
I also like lots. I don't at all mind the way her voice reams the auditory nerves.
@benoit- right now we are experiencing winds and its like super cloudy out. they say we will experience the weather the next couple of days. I already told my boss i dont do hurricane weather so if on saturday its super windy dont expect me in work
I love her voice! it's something different :) i dont find it annoying at all really...even Pat Jourdache, who is quickly rising to be one of my very most favorite artists, has a singing style that could be described as "grating" or annoying, but i just see it as raw emotion coming through in their singing. same with Sunset Rubdown. I know...i like weird music.
I'm weird.
it's awesome!
I shouldn't be awake... but I think I'll have some oatmeal this morning.
good morning guys :)
morning moniski!
BRAIDS is like a piece of really good sour candy.
What I like is that, unlike club music, BRAIDS' electronic sounds are controlled live by 3 or 4 people (sometimes only 2); for that reason, their sound envelope avoids too much repetition and, most importantly, contains that hands-on artistry which makes all the difference between interesting musicality and boring, machine-made sounds.
What I don't like is that when I imported their album into iTunes it called them "The Braids". Sounds so dumb. Haha!
Question for Steve Jordan, Will the Polaris Gala ever be held in a different city?
Seriously, poor Steve Jobs' probably not with us for very long. The guy who helped make Apple what it is not once, but twice (2nd time around 1992). (You've heard of course that he's just stepped dowen as CEO.)
I don't trust "i" anything :P
Oatmeal. Thick enough to stop a bullet.
There's another city but Toronto?
i may end up making oatmeal
Yeah, it's very sad. :( He's an incredible man! He's so nice and even though he could easily be that "scary" business man, and do things just to get rich, but he doesn't and it's wonderful.
I have to use up stuff in my pantry before I move.... instant oatmeal seems to be the easiest thing to make in their right now. I no longer have a can opener... so I can't eat anything else!
Ok who would pay $103.50 to see Justin Bieber's girlfriend? Just announced Selena Gomez is playing at MTS Centre Oct 21.
anyone else think mother nature is out to get me? i swear this year has been my unlucky year with it
@shonica- ewwwwwww. the last band i paid that much to see live was the Who. and they were worth it
You just want to get up close and personal with the Beib!
You think he's gonna be there?!?!? Omg omg omg omg omgo mogomgomg!
the rich parents of rich preteens.
Are gonna do really well, I think. :)
I was about to comment, a while back, on how generally yogurt-and-fruity people around here are. Fresh and fruity.
Jess, 38, no, it's just out to scare the bejeezus outta you. Nature has no trouble killing when it "wants" to...
What you say is true though (about you, this year). I've been keeping an eye on Virginia via weather maps and such ever since your first brush with a tornado, this year, and so I'm aware of the many, many strong storms that have bedevilled Virgina and neighboring States (and that you mentioned above).
this comment amused me
Ur cracking me up!
It has been a strange weather year here too. First the flooding of so much property in the spring and then no rain at all this summer. It has been the hottest August in something like five decades.
@shonica- my first night as a manager we had a tornado outside my job. was super scary. then the second night we had another one, almost got hit with lightenin. My classroom was deemed unsafe today in an inspection due to the damage from the earthquake. =/ The guy said it would cost over 10,000 to fix all the damage. FML
Wil we see a Graham appearance today?
@jessbecuzz -Wow stay safe down there.
I just found out about an amazing festival happening in my hometown, Kitchener, ON, on Sept. 17th (my birthday)!! I already have London plans (which is killing me right now) but if you're in the area you should check it out!!!!
Q. Has a purely instrumental album ever won the Polaris?
i cant wait for sept 10th!! im going to the Virgin Mobile Free Fest
hands down some of the most interesting, out of the box and just plain weird music I have ever listened to (if you like him, check out Jay Crocker. he is pretty awesome, and amazing live). I'm not sure if I actually like his music yet, as i have only given the album a few listens. it's not something you can just put on anytime and jam to, that is for sure. but it has a certain depth...and I keep wanting to listen to it more to see if I can kinda dig down and decode what the music is saying
no concerts for me until Halifax POP Explosion in October (we are too busy/poor with the wedding creeping up). I am deff seeing the RAA, Braids, Timber Timbre and Meligrove band. excited!! :D
I agree! It's music that makes you stop in your tracks and forces you to dig deeper into it.
I've only heard a couple Colin Stetson tunes (I hesitate to call these songs). They both grate on my nerves pretty heavily. Power to those who can "dig deeper" into this stuff, you must have a really strong resolve.
This prime American weather site shows very, very strong winds in Canada in some 3 days. From that hurricane.
@benoit- same here but at the moment i think the military base next to us will do more damage. they just did a continuous bombing that lasted 15 minutes, i lost 5 frames =( Time for work now folks. so ill see yall later
It's funny, I have never really liked horns, especially the saxaphone. I never really even liked Jazz either but I love that song :) I'm kinda hoping he wins. Something different.
Blame the gays
Well, one thing is clear, and it isn't the one claimed.
"they just did a continuous bombing that lasted 15 minutes, i lost 5 frames" Jess in 61
Holy moly, considerations this non-military Canadian who doesn't live near a base (where they don't do 15 minute bombings anyway) had no idea about and finds disconcerting.
This might make you smile.
Muppets: Green Album - 12 classic songs made famous by Kermit, Miss Piggy and the muppets covered by Ok Go, Weezer, Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket and others.
I rarely get to comment on this show, as I'm usually getting ready for work but I'm just about to leave in a few minutes!
I will be on the LCHI with Craig at 8, and will be there to comment, but I might be a few mins late! <3
But soon, in like 20 mins... whatever time that is in your part of the country! :)
Been missing hearing you lately!
great show!
I had homemade bread for breakfast! :)

The Muslim month of Ramadan is drawing to a close. It is a month of enhanced spirituality when time is spent in prayer and reflection. Although I am not present on My T as much as some others, I cannot deny the place it holds in my day to day life. As such, during my reflective moments of Ramadan I have thought of people here. For some, I have prayed in an instinctive manner. I do not know why some came specifically to mind during prayer. I feel before the month is over, I must pass on my regards and good wishes. Those who spontaneously came to mind during prayer were Araminta, Bilby, Amicus, Brendano, squarepeg, Levent, Metin and Anastasia. Last but not least, elle. Not JohnSmithXO, I am not sure about JS at all, but I prayed for elle with sincerity.
I also extend my warm and sincere regards to those I have not mentioned here. May peace, good health and prosperity be with you all.
Post-script…I forgot to mention two people who I also remembered spontaneously in my prayers: boadicea and Cymbeline.

California Oil & Gas Producer Orders First C1000
Capstone Turbine Corp., manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, has received an order for the first C1000 power package from an oil & gas producer in Southern California, U.S.A.
The C1000, sold by Capstone distributor Regatta Solutions, based in San Juan Capistrano, California, U.S.A., will be commissioned this spring in a combined heat and power (CHP) application to save operating and maintenance costs and avoid flaring.
Rather than flare the waste gas, a byproduct from the drilling process, the C1000 will use the associated gas as fuel to generate low-emission electricity onsite to power the plant's pumps and infrastructure systems, Capstone said. The microturbine exhaust will heat water for the free-water knockout process – or three phase separator process – to separate gas, oil and water.
"Nearly 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flared in the atmosphere annually," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. "Flaring is a waste of natural resources and creates 400 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent global greenhouse gas emissions. Capstone microturbines use associated gas to generate low-emission power, which eradicates flaring and enables producers to utilize otherwise wasted gas for production."

What will it be like to stroll along downtown Seattle's waterfront in, say, 2017 or 2019?
A 14-foot-long scale model of the 26-block stretch along Elliott Bay — on display at Seattle's Central Library — offers some hints.
There'll be an airy, plazalike "Overlook Walk" below Pike Place Market. Between Lenora and Bell streets, crisscrossing roadways and staircases will lead to two pocket parks: Belltown Bluff and Blanchard Street Overlook. And an actual beach with pebbles and sand is planned for a one-block stretch just south of Colman Dock.
The model is a teaser, showing the layout without giving much detail. Buildings are stark white ghosts of themselves. Even the marine traffic — ferries, cruise ships, the Victoria Clipper — is represented with bland vessel-shaped "footprints." (Gee, couldn't someone have sprung for a few model ships to add some color?)

But what's there is an eye-catcher. Last week, library patrons kept being sidetracked by the model, drawn into the fantasy of what a waterfront boulevard will be like with no noisy viaduct looming over it. You can find out more at www.waterfrontseattle.org. The model stays on display through Jan. 3, 2013, on Level 3 of the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Ave., Seattle; free (206-386-4636 or www.spl.org).

3. Alone time is extremely important. Don't forget that even under normal circumstances, people need some solitary space. During incredibly stressful occasions, we need it even more. Allow your significant other-and yourself-some room to breathe. Sometimes we have no idea we need to be alone until we're finally alone.
4. Write it all down in an email and send it to yourself. It will feel therapeutic to get all the stress and tension out into words. If you're not a natural writer, make a list. Just looking at whatever is upsetting you will ease your nerves.
5. Keep kissing. Somehow, kissing makes everything feel better. All the time. But you don't need to make out to calm down. After spending so much time with my family, I learned that cheek-kissing is great, and so are forehead kisses. Hugs are wonderful too.
6. Ice cream is excellent. This weekend I preferred a caramel-chocolate blend. I particularly liked the flavor combination when it mixed with my salty tears; it was very complex.
7. This weekend, nothing beat a long bath, a copy of my favorite magazine, a few lit candles and a capful of Mr. Bubble. Instead of the bubble bath, you can substitute yoga, meditation, a long walk, a massage, or any other physical indulgence that relieves tension. The bath, though, is a good place to bring your chocolate caramel ice cream.
8. Remember everything that makes you happy. My boyfriend and I stayed awake one night playing "remember when," and recalling memories from our favorite vacations. We tried to remember things that would make the other person laugh, or moments that the other had forgotten. When you're stressed, close your eyes, take a deep breath and remember all of those good times you've shared.
9. Try to keep everything in perspective. At the end of my long, stressful weekend, I sat down with my lo mein and thought about how amazing my life was, and how much I love my family and my boyfriend. It was a silly thought, but it was true. It's all good.
10. If you're on the verge of a panic attack, stop, drop and roll. Stop freaking out, (temporarily) drop the subject, and roll with the punches. Don't have a meltdown. You can always revisit the subjectlater. After the kissing, the bubble bath, the trip home, and the lo mein.
And remember, every relationship goes through stress. There is no such thing as a perfect couple. And crying into your ice cream can be a beautiful, flavorful, therapeutic thing.
