A Conversation with Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai - MP3
Running Time: 0:59:27
Ajit Pai was nominated to the Federal Communications Commission by President Barack Obama and on May 7, 2012 was confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate. He was interviewed by Gregory Sopkin of Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP for a Federalist Society Teleforum on current hot topics before the Commission. Topics included incentive auctions, federal spectrum, the IP transition, process reform, and media ownership. Commissioner Pai's goal in all of these areas is to create a regulatory environment in which competition and innovation will flourish, and he seeks to shape regulation that gives private firms the strongest incentive to raise and invest capital; to develop new products and services; and to compete in established and new markets. Specifically, Commissioner Pai is working to remove uncertainty that can deter businesses and investors from taking risks, to revisit outdated regulations, and to set clear, modernized rules for the road.

He coached Donoho's football team through its third-round playoff run. He coached both of Donoho's varsity basketball teams.
He's also the athletics director, and this is Donoho's year to serve as host school for all Calhoun County tournaments and meets.
Even better than someone who does a lot is someone who does a lot well, and Calhoun County basketball coaches have recognized his work with Donoho's girls this past season.
The Falcons finished 16-8, went undefeated in area play and won the area tournament, and county coaches voted Felder the Class 1A-2A coach of the year.
"It's a balancing act," Felder said about his many duties. "The thing about it is there are so many folks that are working together at the school.
"It's total involvement with the teachers, the administrators and the coaches and even the parents. It really hasn't been as tough or as bad as it probably would have been if we didn't have all that help."
Ironically, Felder's busy schedule helped him get the most out of Donoho's girls' basketball team. The Falcons had three veteran players missing when the season started, two because of busy schedules.
Junior forward Katherine Westbrook was balancing cheerleading and choir and wasn't sure if basketball would be too much.
Anna Turner, a starter, played on Donoho's state-championship volleyball team and wasn't sure she was ready to jump right into basketball.
Felder tried to talk them back out onto the basketball court, and he made a compelling case.
"I generally would start naming all of the stuff I'm involved in," he said. "Then I would say, 'I'm not complaining.'"
Westbrook and Turner eventually came back out. So did sophomore guard Katie Athon, after being cleared by doctors.
"We still had a lot of games left, and those girls' addition to the team made a big difference," Felder said.
"It gave us a little bit more depth. It gave us a little bit more experience, because they were experienced players.
"Having those girls out there and bringing that experience to the team strengthened our team and really kind of got us going."
A loss to Gaston in the sub-regional kept the Falcons short of their goal of reaching the Northeast Regional, but they realized goals of going undefeated in area play and playing host to the area tournament.
"I was certainly pleased with the work that took place throughout the season," Felder said. "Going undefeated in the area and winning the area tournament and being able to see some of the seniors graduate on a high note was a positive."
And the work goes on for Felder. Donoho still has the Calhoun County softball tournament and track meet to host, and the football team isn't far from spring practice.
"Starting next week, we'll start meeting, coaches will," Felder said.
He's looking forward to another year of hard work — minus all of the county-hosting responsibilities.
"When you're able to balance the county tournaments, along with everything else, just having to just coach the sports next year will seem pretty easy for me," he said. "All you have to do is worry about your teams."

You've all heard the news: farmers across the country are losing their fields to superweeds so formidable and fast-spreading that they break farm machinery and render millions of acres of farmland useless. These superweeds have evolved as a direct consequence of Monsanto's RoundUp Ready pesticide-seed package. Now superbugs are emerging, resistant to Monsanto's transgenic insecticidal crops. Ecologists predicted this ecological disaster 15 years ago.
What do an American businessman, Iowa State University and 162,000 refugees in Tanzania have in common?
Answer: they are all either directly involved in or soon-to-be impacted by a small group of U.S. investors' plans to acquire 800,000 acres (1,250 square miles) of land in Tanzania and transform it into large-scale industrial crop, beef and agrofuel production. They plan to use genetically engineered (GE) seed and other inputs supplied by Monsanto, Syngenta and other global agribusinesses.
The ecological, economic and agronomic disaster accompanying herbicide-tolerant transgenic crops is by now well known: over 10 million acres of superweeds resistant to Monsanto's weedkiller, RoundUp; farm machinery breaking on RoundUp-resistant pigweed thick as a baseball bat; Monsanto paying farmers to spray their fields with competitors' herbicides; a new generation of transgenic crops in the pipeline engineered to withstand older even more dangerous chemicals like 2,4-D.
Last week brought more bad news for Monsanto: the same phenomenon is also occurring in insect pest populations that are developing resistance to transgenic "Bt corn" in the Midwest.
Warning! Nina Federoff — former "Science and Technology Advisor" to the U.S. State Department and well-known genetic engineering apologist — is back on her soapbox. In an Op Ed published in the New York Times last week, Federoff strings together one blazing falsehood after another, extolling the virtues of a technology that much of the rest of the world has rightly rejected. What is behind her evangelical commitment to this particular technology? Let's take a look.
Monsanto has announced it will start selling a new genetically engineered sweet corn directly to U.S. farmers this fall, the Los Angeles Times reports. In doing so, the biotech heavyweight will be directly challenging Syngenta, which has until now been the sole producer of the genetically engineered (GE) sweet corn sold at your grocery store since the late 1990s.

What's your reaction to the Pope's exit? What should the Cardinals look for in the next Pope? Will we see the first non-European pontiff? How will the change affect Catholics around the world and in Lake Ridge? Tell us in the comments below.
Pope Benedict XVI announced on Monday that he will step down from his position Feb. 28, citing failing strength of "mind and body."
He will be the first pontiff to resign since 1415, the Washington Post reports.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," the Pope said in a statement.
Pope Benedict, formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now 85, was selected in April 2005 after the death of the very popular and charismatic Pope John Paul II. Pope Benedict was 78 at the time — the oldest person in more than 200 years chosen to head the church.
Benedict's reign has been distracted by clerical abuse scandals and Vatican internal struggles.

More than 1,000 people saw in the new year at HTB Brompton Road at the church's annual New Year's Eve Prayer and Worship event.
The event was led by HTB Prayer Director Pete Greig who announced the launch of a new national prayer initiative called Kingdom Come: UK.
KC:UK is a joint initiative of Alpha and 24-7 Prayer that aims to have a year of continuous prayer in churches across the UK and Ireland in 2012.
It was launched at midnight with two prayer groups starting a week of continuous prayer, one in the most northerly town in Britain, Thurso and one in the birthplace of 24-7 Prayer, Revelation Church in Chichester.
The HTB party started with worship led by Ben Cantelon followed by HTB Prayer Director Pete Greig opening up the mic to anybody who wanted to share a story of answered prayer over the last year.
Several people came up and shared stories ranging from God interceding to help those on a GAT to miraculous healings.
HTB Curate Bill Cahusac led a time of prayer and asked for people to think about what they should thank God for in 2011.
As midnight drew closer those in attendance began to pray for the nation.
At midnight balloons were dropped from the ceiling and party poppers were popped amid cheers.

Psychotic disorder facts
What are the different types of psychotic disorders?
Comment on this Read 8 Comments
In addition to the more commonly known mental disorders like schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders include brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, substance-induced psychotic disorder, psychosis due to a medical condition, and psychotic disorder, not otherwise specified (NOS). Women who recently had a baby (are in the postpartum state) may uncommonly develop postpartum psychosis. Also, mood disorders like major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder can become severe enough to result in psychotic symptoms like hallucinating or having delusions, also called psychotic features.
How common are psychotic disorders?
The percentage of people who suffer from any psychotic symptom at any one time (prevalence) varies greatly from country to country: as little as 0.66% in Vietnam to 45.84% in Nepal. While the figure of one out of 100 people who qualify for the diagnosis of schizophrenia may sound low, that translates into about 3 million people in the United States alone who have schizophrenia. The first time a person has psychotic symptoms is usually between the ages of 18 and 24 years; related, less severe (prodromal) symptoms often start during the teenage years. Postpartum psychosis occurs in one or two out of 1,000 births but increases greatly, up to one in seven mothers, in women who had postpartum psychosis in the past. Men are thought to develop psychotic disorders more often and at younger ages than women.

Last year, Oklahoma State defeated Stanford, 41-38, in overtime.
This year's coaching matchup is also intriguing. Kelly appears on the fast track to the NFL, and venerable Bill Snyder, at 73, has most of his coaching hay in the barn.
Both are football geniuses, in completely different ways.
The buzz surrounding Kelly's seemingly imminent departure has permeated the Fiesta Bowl grounds. It's not for love of Kansas State or Oregon that news outlets from Philadelphia have made last-minute Fiesta Bowl credential requests.
Kelly has been targeted as a possible replacement for hours-ago fired Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid. There are also reports that the Cleveland Browns are in town waiting to pounce on Kelly the minute the Fiesta Bowl ends.
Kelly is one of the college game's best offensive minds and question deflectors.
Does he expect to field NFL offers?
"I don't expect anything," Kelly said Wednesday. "I said this a million times. I'm never surprised by anything. I do not know what the future holds. I do know we have a football game tomorrow night and I'm going to be there."
Kansas State's coach is closer to an easy chair than he is an NFL job. He had his chances in the 1990s when he was leading Kansas State football out of the dark ages.
"I responded to none of them other than to say 'No, thank you,' '' Snyder said.
Kelly is using Oregon as a steppingstone, and Snyder is happy being his school's Rock of Gibraltar.

Mae Fah Luang Museum
Shoals of pink fish surge under visitors on the boardwalk of the giant Mae Fah Luang Lake in this unique and beautiful 21-hectare facility created by Her Royal Highness the late Princess Mother, mother of His Majesty King Bhumipol Adulyadej.
Close to the heart of Chiang Rai city, this lovely parkland was purchased by the Princess in 1977 to expand the work of a foundation, born in a small local office 5 years before, to benefit hill tribe people. In 1985, re-organization embraced sustainable development, health facilities, and vocational training in agriculture, crafts, and continuity of tribal traditions.
Now, visitors benefit from the expanded role of museum and conservation center in the form of two large, totally contrasting halls. Haw Kham (Golden Pavilion) is a huge, golden teak construction cleverly designed for maximum ventilation and minimum humidity. Approaching up the steps past ten stone elephants from Burma, one marvels at the 17th-century figure of Phra Pra Toh suspended from the ceiling. A simple carving from Phrae, resembling a Native American totem pole figure, the image's unusual appearance, explains the excellent English-speaking guide is because the people only had one knife.
Warm red, lacquered, bamboo bowls for floral offerings to monks in Chiang Mai sit close to a golden Buddha from Burma, while down below is a floor of white sand surrounded by large, rounded stones.
"The sand actually absorbs moisture to protect the wood, but we also say the sand is the people and the Buddha up above protects them" says the guide.
Past rare northern foliage and pools of fish and frogs, one walks to the large, modern, white Haw Kham Noi (Small Golden Pavilion) building and another rich collection: a horse-drawn, wooden carriage is close to an ornate Mon coffin; a huge medicine chest; agricultural carts and implements; bellows for melting silver; spinning wheels and shuttles; and dug-out, timber boats made from whole tree trunks. On the walls is Thailand's largest collection of art from the Lanna culture which is changed at regular intervals.

Radiator efficiency, is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). The dimensions of a room are used to calculate the BTU output required to heat that room. Radiators all have a known and calculated BTU output. Using the BTU outputs in the Product Specification or description above, it is easy to calculate the size of radiator you need to help provide the total heat output necessary for your room.
The best way is to ask your plumber to perform the calculation for you. If you don't have access to a plumber, you can use the BTU Calculator below as a guide. Please note that the calculated figure relates to the combined heat output of all radiators in the room, therefore the towel rail or radiator that you purchase need not satisfy the entire BTU output if it is used to complement existing radiators.

How to Communicate Your Brand Online
Part of the Personal Branding For Dummies Cheat Sheet
You don't just communicate your personal brand in person; you should communicate your brand online as well. A profile hub can serve as a central point for all your online activity (your blog or website, Twitter account, photo gallery, and so on). Content for your profile may include
A brief bio about who you are
Links to your social media sites (such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Fan pages)
The name, products, and/or services of your business
If appropriate, your key clients
Your education
Special features that enhance your personal brand such as a favorite quote or testimonial
Your photo
Links to — or pdf versions of — articles you've written or slides you have produced
Popular profile hubs include
LinkedIn: This site helps you build effective business relationships based on nurturing the know, like, and trust factor. If you are just beginning to think about using online tools to showcase your personal brand to your business and social networks, begin with LinkedIn.
Facebook: Facebook helps you tell your story in ways that connect, inform, and entertain. This allows you to navigate the gentle balance of being social while also sharing enough of your personal brand to offer a satisfying taste of what others experience when they meet you in person. But, as your mother always told you, be careful who you hang out with! Your community of choice makes an impression.
Google+: This relatively new social media site integrates several social services, such as Google Profiles and Google Buzz, as well the services Circles, Hangouts, and Sparks.

Batman Logo Kids' Tee
But Mommy, the Bat Signal!
Batman has his flaws, but he's every parent's dream as a hero: strong, compassionate, and humble. Thankfully he's fictional; otherwise little Timmy would be roaming the streets in search of burglars.Read more...
But Mommy, the Bat Signal!
There was a time when Batman was Batboy... well, young Bruce Wayne, the child with the potential to be a hero. Every young child needs something to strive for, a hero to idolize, and what better hero than the Batman? He's a vigilante for justice with a difficult past that he overcame with repression and delusion, fueled by the largest disposable income in existence (at least in the DC universe) and the support of hundreds of strangers. Just be thankful he's on our side.
100% cotton navy colored t-shirt with Batman logo printed in the front.

The house, rebuilt after a fire in 1851, is now a shadow of its former self, but the Mussenden Temple, perched on the clifftop, is a good indicator of the Earl Bishop's ambitious architectural plans.

Is it really that big of a deal that replacement referees will be in place this week as the National Football League opens up its 2012 regular season? From what I've heard it's going to be the coming of a football Apocalypse.
Really, though, is it going to be that big of a deal? I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's not like we're trying to land on the moon or something. These guys are refereeing a football game. Thousands of people at all kinds of levels know how to referee a football game. Get to know the rules and then call the game. It can't be that hard, can it?
Obviously, the NFL referees who are currently holding out for more money believe it's the most technical job of all time and that only a very few are cut out to do the job as well as they do.
Because of the labor dispute NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell locked the referees out last June and has hired replacement officials. So far, those replacement officials, or scabs, depending on what side you come down on, have been highly criticized for their work in preseason games. Newspaper opinions, talk radio and TV pundits have constantly bashed every move the replacement refs have made.
For me, you had to have watched a hell of a lot of preseason games to get a handle on how well the replacements are doing. I've watched a total of about 20 football minutes of preseason action and so far, all I've seen is, well, preseason football. I failed to notice all of these supposed criminal acts made by the replacement referees. The football I watched looked like football refereed by regular football referees.
But maybe my short stint of watching preseason football is not the best gauge. I didn't watch much and when I did, I didn't really pay attention. (I was focused on Peyton Manning's footwork.)
So maybe I missed a few replacement referee blunders, like a mishandled coin toss. And then there was a miscalled touchback on a kickoff. There have been a few mistakes that shouldn't have happened but hey, these guys are under a hell of a lot more pressure to perform well than the regular referees have ever had. These poor guys are in the spotlight now, and every sneeze, hiccup and missed holding call will be played on Sports Center's highlight reel 50 times.
Last weekend, the NFL and the locked-out referees tried a last-ditch effort to come to an agreement on their dispute before the preseason kicked off on Wednesday evening. Of course, things didn't go well even with the regular season deadline coming this week.
"We met with the NFL this morning and discussed various potential solutions to reach a new collective bargaining agreement," HYPERLINK "http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/202450" Michael Arnold, lead negotiator for the NFL Referees Association, told the Associated Press. "Unfortunately, we were unable to reach any agreement.
"We are disappointed because it means that our members will not be back on the field for Week 1 of the regular season due to the NFL's continuing lockout. We remain willing to negotiate with the NFL in order to reach a fair agreement."
From the NFL, it was a little more brief and to the point.
"Commissioner Goodell and other NFL staff members concluded three days of talks today with representatives of the NFLRA without reaching an agreement," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the AP. "No further talks are scheduled. We are proceeding with the replacement officials."
What the NFL was really saying in that statement is, "We like our chances with the replacement referees. We are willing to take this gamble."
This is why I feel for the replacement referees right now. Yes, they are getting a paycheck and yes, they are working regardless of a labor dispute but the weight of the football world is now on their shoulders in so many ways.
If the replacement referees can somehow perform fairly well over the next few weeks without any serious mishaps, the locked-out referees are going to start to lose some of their bargaining power. It would somehow be proof that other people can actually ref a professional football game. You better believe the regular refs will be sitting at home hoping for mistakes of the highest degree. Those real refs on the couch will be seeing more holding calls than they've ever seen in their life.
And you know Goodell and Co. will be on the couch cheering for the replacements every time they get a call right. The better the replacements do, the less Goodell will have to pay the regular referees at some point.
The weight of the labor dispute now rests on the replacement refs. So they have that going for them.
Of course, the biggest weight these replacement refs now carry is the pressure from all us ravenous fans who demand a perfect game, and to never be on the wrong end of a bad call that could cost a game. And then there are the coaches and players they are going to have to deal with. You know there are going to be some nasty things said on the field if a call is close.
Right now, there is no way I'd want to be one of those replacement refs. They have a lot riding on them in a profession that will never be perfect. Perhaps the most interesting notion this referee lockout scenario has brought out is this recent respect for the NFL referee.
Until now there has never been this booming support for the NFL referee. We've always kicked and screamed at our TV sets when they miss calls. Rarely do we look at our buddy watching the game next to us and say, "Man, these refs are getting them all tonight! Wow. These guys are truly craftsmen."
Give me a break. I'm going to side with the scabs in this one. Hopefully they can prove to the rest of the world that refereeing a football game isn't rocket science.
Of course, the replacements better not screw anything up on Sunday night when Manning and the Broncos take on the Steelers. I'm sure I'll have no problem joining the anti-replacement lynch mob if they do.

What about the White Rabbit in Stoke Newington?? It would be more appropriate to call it a cocktail garden but still, so much outdoor space that feels like we're in Wonderland, sipping some "drink me" beverage. Loving it.
London's best beer gardens
Our pick of the city's best pubs with outdoor spaces – perfect for summery, sun-soaked supping
CommentsAdd +
We've rounded London's best beer gardens, some included for their bucolic atmosphere and fine foliage, some for their summery drinks or irresistible barbecue food, some for their riverside locations – and even a couple for their water features. For a quick and easy overview, check out our map of London's best beer gardens.
Best beer gardens in North London
The Albion
Halfway between Upper Street and the Caledonian Road, this Georgian boozer has an olde-worlde English charm entirely in keeping with its name. It's far enough from the main thoroughfares to ensure there's barely a whisper of traffic noise to be heard at the wooden tables in the walled beer garden, with its trees and colourful flowers. Beer-drinkers usually have three options on draught (perhaps Ringwood Best, Deuchars IPA and San Miguel), there's a short list of summery cocktails, and the quality wine list complements a menu speckled with British ingredients.
- 10 Thornhill Road, N1 1HW
Alwyne Castle
There's plenty of space for alfresco quaffing in an enormous front garden that spills down the sides of this friendly pub. You can sop up the booze with regular summer barbecues (weather permitting), as well as upmarket gastro-grub from the indoor kitchen (ox cheek and red wine pie; cider and tarragon battered cod with skin-on chips). Looking out on to a main Islington artery, the garden remains inescapably 'urban', though a recent facelift has seen a verdant injection of new foliage. What's more, there's plenty of capacity (the garden can hold 300), around a dozen lagers plus three ciders on tap, and four ales – one of which changes on a weekly basis.

Earl of Essex
On a summer's day, head to the walled rear garden of this Islington pub and bask in the evening sun. The original design had neo-classical leanings, seen in the Roman-style flooring (big paving slabs interspersed with smaller stones) and collection of stone pots. But nowadays, the pots are planted with hops, there's bunting overhead, a hodge-podge of picnic tables and wooden furniture, and a vibe that's friendly and informal. The main menu does a good line in posh sarnies (salt beef on rye, say) and proper pub grub (venison and port suet pud, minted lamb burger), or you'll sometimes find a barbecue, dishing up hotdogs, burgers, and veggie kebabs. Just not on Sundays, when the hugely popular roast is what's on everyone's mind.

The Edinboro Castle
The rather small interior of this lively Camden institution gives way to a fair-sized outdoor area, with high walls and an array of foliage giving it a real garden feel despite being hemmed in by a busy road and a railway line. If the weather's dreary, you can grab one of the cosy side tables with their heaters, or shelter under the convenient mini-marquee and admire the fairy lights. The garden can get rammed with Regent's Park-goers and cool Camden types when the sun shines, especially if the barbecue or hog roast is on, which leads to our only grumble – sometimes the service fails to keep up with the crowds.

Faltering Fullback
While there are definitely bigger beer gardens to be found in the capital, the outdoor space at this well-loved, ivy-covered local is certainly one of the cleverest. Faced with the difficulty of only having a small yard, the owners built upwards – creating a tiered village from decking, with room on the various split levels for several tables. It's an early afternoon suntrap in which to sip a cold lager, from a mainstream bar that includes the likes of Amstel, Heineken and Leffe. In keeping with the exotic-themed surrounds, the cooking (from the indoor kitchen, served in the evening only) is of the Thai street food variety: think stir-fries, curries and noodles.
- 19 Perth Rd, N4 3HB
Garden Gate
On the edge of Hampstead Heath just twenty yards down from the train station, the Garden Gate is a lively local with a lovely big garden that's well endowed with greenery. Should, heaven forbid, it ever get chilly, shelter can be sought under an extended undercover area – heated and furnished too – that hosts weekend barbecues through the summer and the occasional hog roast. Ask for cask and you'll be offered the choice of London Pride and four ales changed at least weekly (Oxford Gold, Sharp's Doom Bar, Timothy Taylor Landlord and the like). Other draught delights include London's very own Meantime Pale Ale, Aspall Cyder, Erdinger and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a celestial summer sip from California that does a fine line in citrus-tinged refreshment.
- 14 South End Road, NW3 2QE
Junction Tavern
Regular visits prove the Junction Tavern to be a reliable source of good (sometimes outstanding) gastropub food at extremely reasonable prices. In fine weather, the secluded paved garden, with its dozen-odd picnic tables, makes a wonderful place to enjoy the full run of the a la carte. Recenty purchased by Kentish Town local and experienced publican Ben McDonald, the plan for this summer is to host real ale festivals out back alongside a barbecue.
- 101 Fortess Road, NW5 1AG
Nowadays, the Stag attracts a young, laid-back crowd, drawn to the large selection of decent ales (six of which are on tap) and spacious rear garden, with its leafy displays, outdoor heaters and covered areas – all of which offer table service, so there's no need to queue at the bar. Eight Ibiza-esque private cabanas around the periphery of the garden (which can be booked in advance) further enhance the holiday vibe, as does accoustic music played live from 5pm every Sunday throughout the summer. The barbecue menu is available on sunny Friday evenings from 5pm (as well as weekends from noon) and might include grilled chicken, lamb burgers, sausage hot dogs, although there's no venison – the deer connection ends with the name.
- 67 Fleet Road, NW3 2QU
White Hart
In chillier weather, this spacious Stokey boozer – owned by quirky pub group Antic – should appeal to fans of Trivial Pursuit's orange wedge (that's 'Sport and Leisure', in case you'd forgotten), given that it offers everything from football on the telly to old-school pinball machines and a large pool table. Come summer though, the garden becomes the space for 'leisure', with two tiers (one patio, one lawned) offering ample space for locals to recline, relax and refresh themselves (from the outdoor bar, which this year promises to have at least one beer on tap, as well as the usual cold bottles).

Genuinely need to make a visit to the Duke of Edinburgh in Brixton. Off the busy high street, one would walk past in a hurry from the outside but once you go in you see a nice indoors, however it is the beer garden in the back that really impresses. Always busy on the weekends and the BBQ also provides amazing food for those that get hungry.
I'm shocked Gypsy Moth at Cutty Sark, Maritime Greenwich hasnt been mentioned, most scenic beer garden you can get with the contrast of the old repaired cutty sark boat looming next to the bench's and canary wharf in the background, The sunset on a lazy sunday evening is AMAZING!!
Avoid that 'Avalon' place in Balham. Not a place for a quiet drink in an over manufactured garden. The clientele are also very up themselves.
Dulwich Wood House has got to be up there. Walk through Sydenham Woods on a summers eve. What's the problem with you guys never getting further south than Brixton?
The Marlborough in Richmond and The Ship in Wandsworth have great beer gardens!
was just about to say the garden and grill but topbanana beat me to it! ah well, I'll say it again!
Henry.J.Bean on Kings road has a massive secluded garden at the back that's well worth the try,
Missed a few around south and west London. the Ship by Wandsworth Bridge is an absolute gem, over looking the Thames, a popular spott on a sunny evening. the food is pretty decent too. The Castle Pub, Battersea High Street, possibly my all time favorite garden. (may have since closed down actually) Ye old White heart in Barnes, again, over looking the Thames, the garden is very basic, put the location is absolutely superb.
extremly informative n luvly snaps of beer grdns
The Garden Bar & Grill, near Latimer Road tube, is outstanding (used to be called The Station)
In SE London, The Station in Hither Green has a great and very large beer garden (and all brand new - completely reopened last year). And for East Londoners the Red Lion in Leytonstone has a surprising amount of space out the back.
Worrabout the Freemason's Arms on Downshire Hill in Hampstead?
I think the 'Dulwich Wood House' should also have been included in the South list, near Crystal Palace. It has a FAB beer garden. We go there quite a lot, especially in the summer.. Quite big ,so can accommodate lots of people, and in a nice location. Great food and drinks also. This is there link: http://www.youngs.co.uk/pub-detail.asp?PubID=395&image=1
Did you mean the best pub gardens in north London? Daan sarf we've got the Ship in Wandsworth, the Telegraph in Putney, countless in Wimbledon, Barnes, Mortlake, Richmond etc etc. I don't now SE very well, but I'm pretty sure they have loads too.
This list has a striking N/NW lean to it.....

California High Speed Rail, under fire from some GOP members of Congress, is jumping into the communications game. The organization today released a video highlighting all the benefits CASHR says it will bring to California. Not much news in it -- just a repetition of the themes that California high speed rail will help out other modes, and won't be quite as expensive as the nearly $100 billion that was on the table for a bit.
"It's just another to communicate our message with the people of California," spokeswoman Lisa Murie Burcar told TN. "We thought we'd have it go viral."
You can watch the video here:
"They travel on streets and BM glideways".
My toilet has one of those as well.
Jason Tulock, Vacaville.
"Midnight Departure" is an action/thriller set against the background of building HSR in California. "A high speed thrill ride" it makes great summer reading.
If you review our website, carefully, you will understand if you put as much time and money in our Bimodal
If you put all your time and effort into an evolutionary/revolutionary high speed, safe, public, transit system, BMG, you could have an entirely new highway system assisting, supplementing our current HW system. This system is safer, faster, automated, with coverage to every door in California at a fraction of the cost of HSR. Our system is all electric, faster (120 non-stop m/hr), paid for by the users of the electric power, on elevated tracks. The bimodal vehicles are standard vehicles modified by auto industry into bimodals. They travel on streets and BM glideways. See our video on our website: bimodalglideway.com thanks,Bill Davis
Boring updates like that do NOT go viral. Dedicated proponents and opponents will watch it and a few others. So maybe 1000 will watch it.
About the first comment Richad makes is a BIG FAT LIE.
He says:
"our revised plan reduces the cost and still provides 2 hr 40 minute train ride from downtown LA to downtown SF. "
He has stated this before and this has been rejected by documents right from the Authority.
I guess this tactic is to keep saying it and people will believe you.

It was a night of songs by Carole King – a great pop songwriter with a big catalog of hits reaching back decades, but with a pop style that must seem almost classically formal to American Idol's six young finalists. The result was a well-sung, not terribly dynamic 90-minute show.
James Durbin skipped the big theatrical statements for "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." In rehearsal, he tried it as a simple ballad on guitar, but producer Jimmy Iovine urged him to go with his strong hand – rock – and the result, which was rhythmic and sweet, was his most satisfying performance yet. Jennifer Lopez bopped along as if she were alone in that magic disco we call romantic fantasy. "That was the first song I ever made out to a girl with," said Steven Tyler at the end of a (fairly) positive assessment. "It was in a bowling alley and, no, Randy, I didn't strike out." Jennifer called him "the star of the night." Randy Jackson made a bold prediction: "This guy just might win the whole thing," he said, before giving Durbin a hug.

Point Spread: +7/-104 New Orleans
FREE PLAY for 3/25/13
New Orleans Hornets +7
The Key: The Nuggets are shooting for a franchise record 16th straight win tonight and are being overvalued as a result. While you can bet Denver wants the franchise record, you can also bet New Orleans will be motivated because it was embarrassed in the season's first two meetings, which both took place in Denver. The Hornets are an awesome 32-17 ATS the last two seasons when playing with double revenge. They have lost by only 3.2 points on average in these spots. The Hornets will be lacking no confidence as they check in off back-to-back wins over playoff teams Boston and Memphis. Plus, they defeated Denver the last time it visited. New Orleans is also a sweet 44-27 ATS the last two seasons when catching 3.5 to 9.5 points. It has lost by just 2.5 points on average in this situation. Take the points.
Dave Price, the #1 RANKED HANDICAPPER IN 2012 BY A LANDSLIDE (at another top network), is off to a STRONG start in 2013 as well. He's an AWESOME 732-590 (55%) on all premium picks since the start of 2012 ($1,000/game bettors up $79,390 w/ this run)! His Monday card features the 3 BEST BETS (2 NCAAB, 1 NBA) on the board, including his 7* NIT GAME OF THE WEEK!
