William Coperthwaite was a native of Maine who traveled the world in search of folk-art techniques and subsistence skills. Impressed by the beauty and intelligence of the traditional central Asian nomadic tents called "yurts," Coperthwaite adapted and introduced to North America yurt design and construction. For four decades he participated in building more than three hundred yurts for family homes, schools, camps, and outbuildings. Awarded a doctorate from Harvard University's School of Education for his work with Eskimo villagers, Coperthwaite taught in a variety of innovative educational settings. William passed away unexpectedly in late 2013. His organization, the Yurt Foundation, continues to serve to promote sensible and economical self-reliance through workshops, lectures, and publications.
William Coperthwaite is a teacher, builder, designer, and writer who for many years hasexplored the possibilities of true simplicity on a homestead on the north coast of Maine. In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and Helen and Scott Nearing, Coperthwaite has fashioned a livelihood of integrity and completeness-buying almost nothing, providing for his own needs, and serving as a guide and companion to hundreds of apprentices drawn to his unique way of being.
A Handmade Life carries Coperthwaite's ongoing experiments with hand tools, hand-grown and gathered food, and handmade shelter, clothing, and furnishings out into the world to challenge and inspire. His writing is both philosophical and practical, exploring themes of beauty, work, education, and design while giving instruction on the hand-crafting of the necessities of life. Richly illustrated with luminous color photographs by Peter Forbes, the book is a moving and inspirational testament to a new practice of old ways of life.

In one week, Congress will return to Washington and start tackling its enormous to-do list. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has already said restoring long-term unemployment benefits that lapsed on Dec. 28 will among the first orders of business for the chamber when it reconvenes — but how likely is passage? And what happens if it fails?
Conversations with several people involved in the push present a fairly clear road map, though no doubt a very difficult one. The first order of business, as noted, is getting 60 votes for a bill by Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.), which would extend jobless benefits for three months at a cost of $6.5 billion. A confirmation vote for Janet Yellen as Federal Reserve chair may come first, I'm told, but either way Reed-Heller will be dealt with very quickly.
Advocates are hoping that other Republicans have been reading the brutal polls on letting benefits lapse and hearing from constituents on the issue over the holidays, and will return to Washington with a different mindset. "A lot of it is going to be a reflection of what my colleagues are hearing from back home," Reed told The Post this week.
I wouldn't rule passage out, but as of today, the bill's prospects look dim. Heller is the only Republican on board, so four more would be needed in the Senate — and that's before one even considers the House prospects, where Speaker John Boehner insists that any unemployment extension be paid for with offsetting cuts. The Reed-Heller bill does not have an offset, which my colleague Ryan Cooper notes is a good thing: We shouldn't be afraid of some paltry deficit spending to help those truly struggling in this economy. Perhaps Boehner will come to see it that way if a bipartisan bill emerges from the Senate and public pressure continues apace. But maybe not.
In that case, what's next? There are two likely vehicles to get an extension of benefits through. As Greg Sargent reported earlier this month, one idea, spearheaded by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), is to attach an extension to the farm bill. Van Hollen wants House Democrats to say they won't agree to any farm bill that doesn't include an extension of long-term unemployment benefits.
Another alternative is the omnibus bills ready to hit the Senate floor in January. The Ryan-Murray budget simply sets funding levels but does not appropriate money — and a big fight over which line items get what money is sure to engulf the Senate in January. It's possible, I'm told, that an unemployment insurance extension could be worked into this horse-trading.
The latter two options are, of course, the least desirable — it would likely mean trading away further food-stamp cuts in the farm bill in exchange for the extension, or taking money from some other domestic priority during the appropriations process. In short, both would allow Republicans to extract a price for agreeing to the extension, whereas Reed-Heller would not.
But the true danger is that none of the above works. Past January, not only may it be too far along to offer the benefits retroactively — as Reed-Heller does — but there will be pressure to push forward down other avenues that have a better chance of success, like finally getting to comprehensive immigration reform. If we don't have an extension of long-term jobless benefits one month from today, it's time to be really worried.

Rakang Thai Restaurant Amsterdam Reviews

Best Thai food, just like eating in Thailand. Sep 24, 2009
Mi partner lived in Thailand for work, he loves Thai food and is an expert when it comes to food and dining. He said this is the real deal and I agree. I don't eat much Spicy Food, but this place is outstanding. They can prepare many of the dishes without.
Plus there is an amazing customer service, for a change in netherlands.
$$. Smart note: the restaurant have a take out next door that happen to be very inexpensive and it's the same food, not the same variety though. But if you are in a budget, its the best way to go.

Several days after being told he wouldn't get suspended for his latest controversial move, Ndamukong Suh has been hit with a $30,000 fine by the NFL. The Detroit Lions defensive tackle's fine was announced Wednesday.
The fine is the fourth of Suh's short NFL career. Suh was previously fined $20,000 for a hit on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, $7,500 for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme and $15,000 for a hit on Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Suh has now been fined over $70,000 in three seasons. Lucky for Suh, he has a five year $68 million contract from the Lions to pay for these ridiculous fines.
Suh was the target once again of an all out media blitz over an accidental kick to the groin area of Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. Suh's playing style and character were the center of attention by NFL analysts, including Boomer Esiason who called Suh a dirty player and said he would not shake his hand.
Schaub recently told a Houston radio station that he would not want Suh as a teammate. Monday, the NFL decided not to suspend Suh, as they could not prove the kick was intentional. It seems kind of hard to intentionally kick someone while being tackled to the ground and landing on your head. Suh had this to say about the incident, "I was dragged to the ground and my foot inadvertently hit the man."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was in Detroit Wednesday as part of the Lions 19th annual Detroit Lions Courage House fundraiser. Goodell had this to say on the incident, "Intent is something that is very difficult for us to ever try to make a judgment on." Goodell was asked particularly about the Suh incident and Jim Schwartz's challenge flag during a question and answer segment with fans.
Suh wants to move past this incident saying, "But it's over with and I am moving forward and getting ready to play the Colts." I'd love to think that the media can do the same and move past here. Suh has 20 tackles and 4.5 sacks on the season. These marks are slight improvement from last season, but still a far cry from his amazing rookie season where he finished with 66 tackles and 10 sacks. Suh has huge motivation against the Indianapolis Colts to silence his critics.
Suh goes out and plays hard every play, every game. The defensive tackle continues to play hard and hit people as hard as he can, despite the possibility of being suspended or fined. If you worry too much about getting in trouble, you stop trying so hard and lighten up on the quarterback. I'm happy as a season ticket holder that Suh continues to go hard all game long. I hope $30,000 doesn't slow him down and I hope the league leaves him alone and lets him play.

Big Bash Cricketers Wear Zaidee's Shoelaces
Big Bash Cricketers have agreed to wear coloured shoelaces to help raise awarenes of organ and tissue donation.

Zaidee Turner was 7 years old in 2004 and living with her family in Shepparton.
She was a happy and talkative little girl, who had shown no signs of health problems.
But just before Xmas 2004, Zaidee collapsed suddenly and unexpectedly with what turned out to be a large bleed in her brain.
Despite having her rushed to the Royal Children's Hospital, Zaidee's parents Allan and Kim were told their daughter would never wake up.
Zaidee had told her parents that if anything happened to her she wanted to donate her organs to help other children.
And so Allan and Kim kept that promise to Zaidee, having her organs and tissue donated, the only Victorian child to have donated organs in that year.
Then Zaidee's parents decided to go further, creating the Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation to help raise awareness of organ and tissue donation.
Since its inception Zaidee's foundation has been going from strength to strength, and this week in a major coup, Zaidee and her rainbow shoelaces are being highlighted on the national sporting stage by our Big Bash cricketers.
Allan Turner is exicted about the impact this Big Bash support could have on the national profile of the importance of organ donation.
"The awareness that we'll gain out of this on a national level is just fantastic. There's a lot of people that watch, read and listen to cricket, and if you're going to do something in sport why not do it in the biggest game of all during the cricket season!"

Outdoors: Black drum get their day in the sun
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, April 1, 2010
Fair spring days — even some not-so-fair ones — invariably find an eclectic mix of just about anything that floats anchored in and around bay/Gulf passes and adjacent channels along the Texas coast.
The boats bristle with heavy rod-and-reels, the business end of which most often hold a hook baited with a halved or quartered chunk of blue crab.
Anglers in those boats — and they range in experience and skill from veteran fishermen to novices who have never caught anything larger than a bluegill — are there for the same reason: drum. Black drum. More specifically, huge black drum weighing as much as 50 pounds or more. And they are seldom disappointed.
Driven by instinct and triggered by warming water temperatures and longer hours of daylight during March and April, adult black drum gather in schools that sometimes number in the hundreds of fish. They crowd into and around passes where they wait for the right moment to create their next generation.
The annual spawning "run" of black drum is a big deal for anglers along the Texas coast, as anyone who witnessed the fleet of boats anchored around the Galveston Jetties or around the "drum hole" off the end of the Texas City Dike this past weekend can attest.
Several things come together to create this attraction: coastal anglers are antsy for action after a winter of slow fishing and poor weather; spawn-minded black drum are among the first fish to become active as spring arrives; and big black drum are relatively easy to catch, even for novices.
For black drum, this is their brief moment in the angling spotlight. More popular species, such as speckled trout, still are a bit tough to locate, pattern and catch at this point in the year. And even though most of the black drum taken during the spring "run" exceed the 30-inch maximum length limit set by Texas law and must be released, anglers still flock to prime drum gathering areas.
Not much of a fight
Black drums' attraction can be summed up by paraphrasing the words of that great Canadian philosopher, Red Green: "If the fishermen don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
Black drum, while handy, are the black sheep of the drum family. Their cousins — redfish, speckled trout, sand and Gulf trout, croaker and even whiting — are much more popular. And appearances have much to do with that.
"Not many people are going to call a black drum a really good-looking fish," said Bill Balboa, Galveston Bay ecosystem leader for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's coastal fisheries division.
"They just don't have that magical allure associated with redfish or trout," said Mark Fisher, TPWD coastal fisheries science director, of this least popular member of the drum clan.
Despite their name, adult black drum aren't often black. Adult drum caught from near-shore Gulf water typically are a muted silvery gray. Big drum caught from the bays have dull brassy or bronze tints to their backs and sides.
Thick-bodied with a kind of hump-backed shape and an underslung mouth, their chins decorated with a set of barbels that give them a whiskered look, black drum are not a handsome fish. This point is underscored by anglers' popular name for them: "big uglies."
And they are not the most exciting fish to fight. Big black drum are pretty uninspired batters. They don't jump and aren't particularly energetic; most simply use their heft to grump deep and force an angler into a brief tug-of-war until the drum yields to the pressure. It's a lot like fighting a sack of rocks.
Also working against big black drum is their edibility.
"The big adult fish are not that great for eating," Balboa understated. Large black drum — adults measuring 30 inches or more — typically have very coarse flesh that often is riddled with parasitic "spaghetti" worms.
The marginal, at best, food quality of black drum was illustrated when TPWD floated a proposal that would ease a 30-inch maximum length rule it put into place in 1988 to protect spawning black drum.
Black drum are one of only a handful of inshore finfish species for which commercial fishing is allowed in Texas coastal waters. And about 1.5 million pounds of 14-30-inch black drum are annually taken by Texas commercial fishers.
But when TPWD approached the commercial fishers with the idea of allowing harvest of black drum measuring more than 30 inches, the commercial anglers declined the liberalization.
Deserving of respect
"They told us, 'We can't sell them. There's no market for the big ones,' " Fisher said.
Unlike "big uglies," young black drum are fine food.
"They may be my favorite to eat," said Balboa of 14-20-inch black drum. "They tend to be less 'wormy' than trout and the meat's not as oily. They make great ceviche."
And those smaller drum are quite abundant in Texas bays. The black drum population in most Texas bays is thriving. The Upper Laguna Madre may have the state's largest black drum population. Fisher termed the Upper Laguna's drum population as "massive ... almost unbelievable."
But aside from a handful of folks — mostly fly-fishers — who pursue the thick schools of juvenile black drum as they root for surf clams, crabs and other critters on the Laguna Madre flats, almost no one targets black drum except during the fishes' spring spawning season.
"They really are an under-utilized and under-appreciated fish," Fisher said.
Except right now.
• Texas' coastal waters hold a healthy, under-utilized population of black drum, with especially high numbers of sub-adult fish in the Upper Laguna Madre.
• Homely cousins of the more popular redfish (red drum), speckled trout and croaker, black drum draw the most angler attention during spring when adult fish congregate for their annual spawn. Those adult fish can weigh as much as 80 pounds, but most are 15-30 pounds.
• Drum spawn in the lower reaches of bay systems and around bay/Gulf passes. In the Galveston bay system, flats and holes along the Galveston jetties, near the Galveston Channel and along the Texas City Dike, are premier gathering areas.
• They begin their annual spawn as early as February, with activity typically continuing through April and even into May. Spawning behavior begins when water temperatures climb near 60 degrees and continue until about 75 degrees. The peak of the spawn — and the peak of inshore fishing for them — happens in late March and early April.
• Their diet leans heavily on mollusks such as surf clams, snails and hooked mussels, along with crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp.
• Halved or quartered blue crabs are the favored bait for anglers targeting adult black drum. But clumps of shrimp also will work. Most anglers fish the bait on or near bottom during a moving tide.
• Small black drum — those measuring 14-25 inches — are excellent food fish, rivaling their more popular cousins, redfish and speckled trout. Large drum, on the other hand, are not particularly good; their flesh is coarse and often riddled with parasitic worms.
• Texas limits anglers to retaining no more than five black drum per day, none of which can be shorter than 14 inches or longer than 30. Texas does allow an exception to the 30-inch maximum. Anglers are allowed to retain one black drum per day measuring 52 inches or longer. The 52-inch rule was created to give anglers the chance to retain a potential state-record black drum.
• Texas' record for rod-and-reel-caught black drum is held by an 81-pound fish caught from the Matagorda Bay complex in June, 1988. The 51.18-inch drum was landed less than three months before the 30-inch maximum rule took effect.
• The world record for black drum caught on rod-and-reel is held by a 113-pound, 1-ounce fish caught in Delaware in 1975.

Gary Stafford was crowned Autumn Grand Prix Series champion after he beat Danny Smith in the final.
The unseeded Stafford overcame Mike Gillet 3-2 in the first round before beating Jack Marriner 3-1 in the last-eight.
Those wins set him on the way to glory and he eased to a 3-0 win over Dale Masterman in his semi-final.
Second-seed Smith provided the opposition in the final but Stafford proved too strong, winning 4-2 to pocket the £320 top prize .
Smith had previously beaten Martin Stead 3-2 in the semis.
Earlier in the competition he negotiated a route past Bob Crawley, 3-2 in the quarters, and John Gibson, 3-1 in the first round.
Top-seed Andy Jenkins was knocked out in the last eight, going down 3-1 to Masterman.
Stead beat Paul Gibbs by the same margin in the other last-eight battle.
Ricky Williams, Jon Bramble, Sam Head, Adam Lipscombe, Mason Riou and Steve Jannaway were first-round victims.
Mick Street won the series plate contest, with a 2-0 victory over Shayne Daughtrey in the final.

A bear trap ?
Juerg Buergin, a former executive director of operations at UBS in Singapore, was deceived by an underaged prostitute and her pimp into believing she was 18, according to his lawyer.
Bloomberg reports that the girl, now 20, wasn't a victim and should testify publicly, Buergin's lawyer Selva Naidu told a Singapore subordinate court Tuesday on the first day of the Swiss national's trial.
Judge Eddy Tham agreed with prosecutors that she give evidence privately.
Buergin, 41, is the first of 51 men charged by police for having paid sex with the girl to stand trial. At least 18 men, including a member of the Shaw family that built an Asian movie production and real estate empire, have been sentenced to jail after admitting to paying for sex with a minor.
Reuters has reported that prostitution is not against the law in the city-state, which has an active and barely concealed sex industry, but having paid sex with someone under the age 18 is a crime.
Buergin, previously the Singapore country head of operations at UBS's investment banking unit, faces two charges of paying for sex with the underage girl.
The former bank executive is out on bail.
Agence France-Presse reports that prosecutors said Tuesday that he booked the prostitute, who went by the name 'Chantelle' on an escort agency website, on two occasions in September 2010 and January 2011 and met her at a luxury hotel.

And the giant novelty cheque goes to…

Patrick Watson was the happiest man in Toronto last night as he left the Phoenix Theatre with the Polaris Music Prize's $20,000 cheque under his oxter. The judges decided that the Montreal man's "Close To Paradise" album was the one for them, beating off Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible", Feist's "The Reminder", Miracle Fortress's "Five Roses" (a glorious album, it must be said) and six others.
Watson claimed he was giving the cheque to Budget Car Rental seeing as he owed them 16,000 loonies for a van he wrote off outside Fargo, North Dakota. At least, he'll have some change left over after that transaction to buy some poutine and Steam Whistle for his band.
The Polaris gala made for a grand night out, it must be said. Six of the 10 nominated acts played two songs apiece and there was much singing and dancing from various members of the media before each act. While all of this was going on in front of an invite-only audience of about 400 or so, 11 judges were locked away in a room having a good old fashioned row. The fact that they finished their deliberations a good 45 minutes before the deadline means Watson was a clear-cut winner.
You can argue the toss over these prizes all you like, but the truth is that "Close To Paradise" will enjoy a promotional and sales bump in the coming weeks and months because of this win. Any of these album prizes (even the humble Choice Music Prize, to make sure declarations of interest are declared and all of that) result in a spate of publicity for an artist and an album. But it's up to them and the general public to take the affair to another level.
What was also enjoyable about last night's soiree was the chance to chew the fat with some Canuck writers and label folk about the state of their musical nation. While there is no doubting just how buzzy (some) Canadian bands are right now (or just how much monetary aid is available from the government under the enviable Canada Music Fund), there were some observations from the gallery about the domestic infrastructure which made you stop and think a little.
For instance, many see an urgent need for more dedicated local labels to operate and grow alongside Arts & Crafts and Last Gang. This would ensure that the likes of the excellent Born Ruffians, Tokyo Police Club and others from the new, new school will be able to benefit from the development afforded by local labels and intelligence rather than just signing deals abroad.
Then, there's the sheer size of the country which makes domestic gigonimics a bit of an ordeal: there may be a population of 30 million to support the acts, but they're concentrated in wide flung metropolitan pockets which often take a day or more to reach. And that's not to mention the way in which many in the industry constantly look abroad for validation in the first instance of homegrown artists and albums. It was only when Arcade Fire made a splash abroad, after all, that the industry in Canada started to pay attention to them.
None of this will bother Patrick Watson too much as he celebrates his win at the Drake Hotel aftershow. Time enough to start thinking about how to make the most of this when he wakes up sometime today and checks to make sure the extra-large cheque is where he left it before he turned off the light. Then, he'll probably put the phone back on the hook and start talking over and over again about how awesome all of this is.

Matchups make fights, and this one was a knockout.
Washington used its speed and length to fly past, over and through No. 3 seed New Mexico 82-64 on Saturday.
The Huskies advance to their first Sweet 16 since 2006 and will play West Virginia next Thursday in Syracuse, N.Y.
The game was tied at 19-19 with 11:19 remaining in the first half. That was the last time New Mexico would get a sniff.
Washington blitzed the slower New Mexico team and harassed them into uncharacteristic turnovers and harried play. The Huskies' trapping and pressuring style forced Lobos players to move out of their comfort zones and attempt to keep up with fleet Washington. New Mexico simply could not do it.
"We did a great job of forcing our tempo on them," Quincy Pondexter said. "We knew they were a transition team going into this game, and we wanted to show that we have another level of fast break and defensive intensity. That's what really wore them down and helped us get the win."
Balanced scoring — Pondexter scored 18 points, Matthew Bryan-Amaning 15, Isaiah Thomas 15 and Elston Turner 10 — coupled with crisp passing and accurate three-point shooting turned Washington into a monster on this day. The Huskies finished the afternoon with more three-pointers made (8) than turnovers (5). They also blocked seven shots.
"We've played 35 games this year and I think our team would agree that that's the best team that's played against us in any given night," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said.
Justin Holiday was masterful against New Mexico's dinged-up leading scorer Darington Hobson. He took Hobson out of the game, forcing the Lobos' leader in scoring, rebounding and assists to try and force his way to the basket or give up the ball. Hobson finished with 11 points, eight of which came when the game had been long decided.
New Mexico had lost just four times previously, but there was a trend in each. The Lobos, normally a skilled three-point shooting team, struggled from behind the three-point line during their losses. That was also the case on Saturday.
After starting 3-for-5 from behind the three-point line, New Mexico went 4-for-12 the rest of the way. Washington's defense stayed high and forced typical jump shooters to try and drive into an active rotating defense waiting in the lane. The Huskies also tweaked how they played ball screens out top, essentially allowing access to two-point shots while shutting down threes.
"Those guys can get goin' from the three and really, really hurt you," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. "They weren't able to do that as much and we took our lumps by (Dairese Gary) scoring 25. But we picked our poison at that point."
Washington was as unselfish as it was stifling. The Huskies 20 assists on 32 field goals is a staggering rate of efficiency for any team, let alone one troubled by selfish and stagnant play in the middle of the season.
"Once I kept saying in January, you know what? Don't panic, it was for a reason," Pondexter said. "We still had a lot of time to come together and make a push like we are right now. That's something that stuck with us, our backs against the wall mentality to help us keep fighting through these games."
It was the ninth consecutive win for Washington. The 11th-seeded Huskies have also won 14 of their last 16, hiking their record to 26-9, which matches the finish of last season's team. It's the fourth time Romar has led a Washington team to 26 or more wins in his eight years heading the program. It is his third time advancing to the Sweet 16.
"We talked to our team about this early," Romar said. "We can go one of two ways, we can be mediocre, or we can be a special team. We talked about those things. But, again, it took a while for us to come to the realization that if we bought in and no one cared who got the credit we could get some things accomplished."
The win was also the third in the NCAA tournament for the much-maligned Pac-10. Two of the Pac-10's wins have come over teams from arguably the best conference in college basketball this year, the Big East.
"The Pac-10 was a victim of much criticism all year, and I think a couple of out of conference losses early is something that was placed on people's minds and then we were labeled as a bad conference or a down conference, because of some losses early and in not having a full complement of players on each team," Romar said.
"Guys were ineligible or hurt and the league is young, league lost 21 pros in the last couple of years and it took a while for this league to get better. We played in this league, and we didn't go undefeated and we're going to the Sweet 16. The team that finished ninth and 10th is capable of beating and did beat the top teams in our league.
"So the league was stronger than people gave it credit for but once those non-conference games happened, those losses happened, people made a decision and a judgment and decided let's not even pay attention to that conference anymore."
Time to change that.

Haiti earthquake: Crowd chants, 'USA, USA,' as Los Angeles team rescues woman
A video posted today on YouTube is being distributed through the White House e-mail group with the subject line, "AMAZING VIDEO: Crowd starts chanting USA, USA during L.A. County USAR rescue."
The Los Angeles Daily News published a story about the rescue Monday on its website. In Haiti rescues something to cheer about, Dennis McCarthy wrote:
They were bone weary from digging through rubble for five hours Sunday, losing faith fast, when the cheering began.
It was like a shot of adrenaline.
"U.S.A., U.S.A.," the large Haitian crowd standing in the street yelled as Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Bill Monahan and his search dog rescue team finally freed a young woman trapped under her collapsed hotel for five days.
"U.S.A., U.S.A." Cheering. For us! When's the last time we heard cheering for America in another country?
"Bill said it brought his team to tears," said Debra Tosch, executive director of the Search Dog Foundation in Ojai.
