gathering blue by lois lowry
the story and setting were intriguing and quickly pulled me through the pages. gathering blue is set in a very small scale futuristic society, which after war and upheaval, has developed very strict customs. there are some children with extraordinary talents that could change the (almost entirely) negative way of life. the story builds up anticipation for great changes but the conclusion is anticlimactic. the main character was not as quick on the uptake as i expected - she seems observant and intelligent, yet doesn't make some very obvious logical connections. instead her younger sidekick is the one who draws conclusions and acts. the closing scene showing the main character poised for action is not quite believable, as she didn't seem to have developed the brains and gumption for it. the book is perhaps too obviously written as a "teaching" book, focusing more on drawing the conflict between opposing ideas and leaving the discussion and resolution for the classroom. oh well. it was an ok read overall.
and, on a side note, are there any futuristic/rewritten history tales where the men are reduced to breeding and manly chores, and allowed no education or opinions? the stereotype of women being held back gets a bit old sometimes.
serenity: the shepherd's tale by zack and joss whedon
lots of anticipation was built into this graphic novel: at last the super secret background of shepherd book (from the firefly series) was to be revealed. the events go steadily back in time, illuminating the journey of book's life as if going through a dying man's memories. it was an interesting read, and an intriguing method of exposition, as the story jumped between scenes, often connected by a single word. the stream of memories revealed different sides of book's character and past. enough was revealed to answer the questions raised in the show, without too much explanation, and satisfied my curiosity. the simple telling fills out book's character as we already know him from the series. and hey, there was a jayne scene in there!
the particular sadness of lemon cake by aimee bender
this book came to my attention through a summer post on sur la lune, which i only read recently. luckily, there was no waiting list and i nabbed it from the library right away. i sat down to read for 15 minutes and ended up reading through the whole book in an afternoon. the prose is well-written and flows easily. the lack of punctuation in the conversations made them seem more like conversations, no commas or quotation marks for your eyes to hang up on.
overtly, the book's premise is the main character's ability to taste someone's emotions in the food they cook. what was truly fascinating was not the details of tasting someone else's unconscious emotions but examining flawed family relationships and different ways we keep people at a distance. the main character, rose, discovers her ability as she's turning 9 and the sudden knowledge of the hidden sides of others becomes a barrier for rose. rose's family is already emotionally distant and rose learns to hide from the negative and surprising emotions in food and rarely interacts with people directly. very slowly, events conspire to help rose realize there's more to people than the emotions she finds in their food.
rather like real life, there is no neat and tidy solution to everything, but rose begins to reach out to others and develop her own stunted emotions. food remains an intermediary, however, which is sort of disturbing. the lack of a clear conclusion was a bit annoying, too much like everyday life with its unfinished ends. leaving it open allows room for the imagination to continue where rose left off though, and consider possibilities for more open relationships with people without the need for any kind of intermediary. rose's talent/curse can be compared to experiences we all have growing up that can turn into walls between us and others, and her coming to terms with her experiences makes me wonder how far i've come in the same process. i will probably read this book again, which definitely counts as a thumbs up.

2010 in review
looking back, i am impressed with myself. i thought i only posted once last year, but there's 3 whole posts up! 2010 was similar to 2009 in many ways, which is why we have a huge round up post rather than shorter, more regular posts. so, the last year in review, if not in chronological order:
all in all, 2010 was a good year. i never got tired of being home with my husband. i'm grateful for my friends, talking to family over holidays, and all the little miracles that keep me going every day. i'm thankful i can do so many things that i enjoy and are meaningful to me, which luckily tend not to be very expensive. reading my summing up post on 2009, i must have got something right in the balance department this year. the year was equally disruptive, busy, and i still worked out of town yet i feel as if i did more in most areas of life and feel more peaceful and happy looking back. i have to keep doing that.
- in the spring, chuck changed jobs, then got fired, and now drives a school bus. that was a whole mixed bag. he was looking for less work stress, which he now has. he's also been wanting to get out of banking, which he has. the initial job switch let us use part of chuck's retirement to pay off a huge debt (with one tiny click. i savored that moment). we're now down to almost a third of the debt chuck had when we got married. not having that $900 monthly payment and several small miracles helped us through the 3 months of unemployment before the bus job and makes it easier to live on the lower income.
- archy work was very short this year, a measly 3 months. i worked in delta again, with all the fun side effects of living in two places that i noted last year. the work and crew were great though. site monitering is where it's at. you hike out to a known site, relocate surface artifacts, make sure the military hasn't blown a hole in anything, take some pictures and notes, then repeat. i loved it. still wish there was a good option for winter archaeological work up here........
- about the same time chuck started driving buses, i started working part time at a yarn store. work has tapered off, so i ought to look for something else, but it's been tons of fun helping people with their knitting and picking out yarn.
- i played more with homemade stuff. we haven't really bought bread since 09, and i've made my own tortillas and english muffins besides sandwich, french and flat breads. our garden gave us lots of potatoes that we're still eating, along with squash. everything else we ate as it ripened. i wish we could grow enough tomatoes to put up. we gathered blueberries, most of which we froze, and lingon (lowbush cranberries), that were turned into cranberry sauce. i also made spruce tip jelly, which has an interesting spicy sweet flavor. next year i want to try rose petal jelly from all the prickly rose in the yard. Homemade mustard and barbecue sauce are in the fridge, along with homegrown (homelaid?) eggs, some of them blue. chuck raised broiler chickens again, so we haven't bought chicken for 2 years. he also raised a turkey that grew to 25 pounds and barely fit in our tiny oven on thanksgiving, and we have 6 laying hens. they average 4-5 eggs daily, more than we can eat, so we trade them for moose and caribou meat. i even made laundry detergent too! seems we buy less and less at the store. mostly i try stuff out for fun, and because i like knowing how to make my food and what's in it and changing things to suit my taste. none of it took very much time (the jelly was a small batch) and costs very little. i made soft cheese, but for the cost of milk vs the lower cost of cheese and considering the ratio of milk to finished cheese......we will keep buying cheese.
- we bought season tickets for UAF hockey while we had money in the summer, and now the games are like free dates.
- i apparently knit a storm through the year, ending up with more large projects (shawls and sweaters) than before. i also experimented with some new things, knitting with wire and making small toys.
that doesn't count anything started but not finished of course. i knit more for myself - it makes no sense for me to not have enough socks when i'm the one knitting them. out of 25 finished projects, 11 were for myself, almost half and a definite improvement. mostly i knit from stash, since yarn was not really in our budget this year. sweaters were probably the most satisfying projects while socks were not my friend all. year. long. fitting issues. hopefully to be fixed in 2011.
- the fairbanks knitting group just gets more awesome with time. they're a great mix of people with very different tastes and backgrounds and opinions, yet mostly we manage to encourage each other and have intriguing conversations. if we moved, they would be the people i missed.
- we got lots of yardwork done while we were unemployed together. the raised flower beds i built in 07 have been slowly but steadily eroding and we had started building boxes for them in the spring. we finished those and planted rhubarb, a red currant plant, daffodils, tulips and crocus. ever since living in sweden i've wanted crocus of my own to peep out from the melting snow. we even cleaned out the prickly rose from the raspberry bushes and raked leaves! not all of them, but more than normal. i almost like our yard now.
- my wisdom teeth were
pulleddug out in the spring. i was a bit worried, from the horror stories told to my body's high tolerance for medication to getting an IV and being put under for the first time ever. my mouth felt crowded though, and the new teeth were trying to push aside other teeth. so it had to be done, and in the end? not so bad. i almost wouldn't mind doing it again. the IV took a couple tries and hurt more than anything else. the dentist had to give me two hits of anesthesia to knock me out and as i came to, he clearly asked is she waking up already? that didn't make me feel too good, but they were almost done. there was a bit of swelling, and i got a cool ice pack band to wrap around my head. made me feel like i was in an old time war movie.
i took the (huge) aspirin they gave me and nothing else and was back to work on monday without missing a day since the surgery was on friday, my day off. the pains from crowded teeth were gone and i was happy. although i'd've been happier if i could have kept the teeth for souvenirs..........
- we signed up for the rosetta stone online through the military. i'm reviewing spanish, and filling in some everyday words missing from my vocabulary, while chuck is learning swedish. i love hearing him learn, it's more exciting for me than him i think. he's improved in every lesson and i can't wait till his vocabulary is large enough to have conversations.
- i read lots too, although i have no idea where i fit it and the knitting in. according to goodreads, i read 45 books this year. that's almost one a week, not too bad. some really good ones were: Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by patricia wrede and caroline stevermer, a lighthearted, funny fantasy with sequels to follow. stieg larsson's girl who.... series was a fascinating mix of mystery, journalism, crime solving, and political corruption set in sweden. they were gripping reads, and had fairly accurate descriptions of swedes. the only downside was the sexual crimes against women, but i suppose that was the point. the latest additions to the vlad taltos series, jhegaala and dzur, by steve brust added more depth to vlad's character. despite being quick reads, they kept me thinking long after reading. in defense of food by michael pollan made an interesting analysis of our current food culture and how traditional food culture has been manipulated for commerce. an extremely well-written and highly creepy fitcher's brides by gregory frost i would recommend for the writing and morals but won't re-read. i'd like to sleep at night, thank you very much. another non-fiction book i really enjoyed was the paradox of choice by barry schwartz. he delves into the unconscious and conscious factors that go into all our choices, big and small. the book was not as dry as i anticipated and points out a need for us to limit our own options to make effective choices. an interesting concept.
annoyingly less good were: water for elephants by sara gruen, which a few of us in the knitting group read. the story just seemed to descend into melodrama and ended in an unlikely series of events. it started well, but i felt cheated at the end. name of the rose by umberto eco has sat on my shelves unread since high school. now it can sit on someone else's shelves. the long involved story of medieval religious heresies and dissidents is mixed with murders at an abbey. when revealed, the motive for the murders seems absurd and superficial. cheated again. wuthering heights by emily bronte confirms that british female romance writers are not for me. a bunch of whiny noble people make bad choices which have bad consequences and i think i'm supposed to feel sorry for them. um, nope. sorry. think i'll avoid the bronte's along with austen from now on.
- the week of thanksgiving it rained. this just doesn't happen in interior alaska. the warm weather made the foot or so of snow on the roof slide off, which normally happens in april. the fall compacted it all and made normal shoveling impossible. when it started coming off the deck in solid square chunks, what could i do but make a wall? crenelations and archer slits possibly to be added later.
- since summer, chuck has been working on painting the kitchen cupboards (the ones he took the doors off the summer before). the kitchen has slowly transformed from a dark green and gunky yellow 70s combo
to a much brighter white (inside), blue, and yellow.
the colors remind me of sweden and make the kitchen a thousand times brighter. i love it. the cupboard doors have been materializing the last couple weeks, and after a year and a half without doors, it feels odd being unable to just reach in and grab what i want.
- we watched more than a few movies in 2010, but not many made it to our favorites list. we really enjoyed blind side, ondine and the A team remake. oddly enough, tv on dvd was much more popular with us (we don't ever watch any tv shows on tv). a random series of events introduced us to the 2005 season of doctor who. september and october were a haze of the 5 recent seasons. it's a crazy, unpredictable, upbeat, funny british sci-fi space/time travel show and if you haven't seen it, do. you never know what will happen and yet only a few times is the story so outlandish that it seems impossible. we're waiting anxiously for next season to start, and have infected the grandkids with the addiction. we finished watching the dollhouse show, joss whedon is my hero for interesting tv. it's a bummer his shows have such short runs.
- we got a couple camping trips in. we took the bratlings camping in denali in the spring and hiked with them all day with no complaints from grownups or kids.
chuck kidnapped me to paxson lake for a relaxing weekend in the summer, complete with canoeing and a beautiful sunset.
we also finally hiked angel rocks together. we've been saying we'd do that for years. the trail starts out on the valley floor and climbs to the ridge top
where granite tors are eroding into cool formations and caves.
which of course we had to explore a bit, crawling into that hole behind us that opens into some small caves, then out the other side.
- on the winter solstice, we saw the total lunar eclipse. apparently the last time one happened on the solstice was in the 1600s. the moon wasn't totally blacked out but looked shadowed, like seeing it through a black curtain. very cool phenomenon, but we couldn't get a photo that didn't look like a black sky.
- after the very long break i've had in blogging, i have a clearer idea how i want to blog, a way to balance my content. several blogs i read manage to have good, varied content in short posts and i think i have learned from their good example. i suppose this next year will be the test. my iphone was no replacement for the internet and so there are still podcasts and blogs being caught up on.
all in all, 2010 was a good year. i never got tired of being home with my husband. i'm grateful for my friends, talking to family over holidays, and all the little miracles that keep me going every day. i'm thankful i can do so many things that i enjoy and are meaningful to me, which luckily tend not to be very expensive. reading my summing up post on 2009, i must have got something right in the balance department this year. the year was equally disruptive, busy, and i still worked out of town yet i feel as if i did more in most areas of life and feel more peaceful and happy looking back. i have to keep doing that.

Its unforgiving everywhere except US and some EU countries.
Failure in business or anything else have very high stigma in Korea,Japan and China too. So maybe there are other reasons, access to capital is a constant issue, having no level playing field, but this is so in most other countries as well.

COST action Sub-Urban
Increasing urbanisation throughout the world challenges the sustainable development and resilience of cities. Despite this, the importance of the ground beneath cities is under-recognised and often overlooked. The main aim of the sub-urban action is to provide a long-needed contribution to greater interaction and networking, and so transform the relationship between experts who develop urban subsurface knowledge and those who can benefit most from it – urban decision makers, practitioners and the wider research community.

New York City is a magical place. TV shows from SATC to Seinfeld have shown us what it's like to live there, and in both of these cases, the city itself is in its own character. From Carrie Bradshaw twirling around in her beautiful skirt to Jerry Seinfeld eating at the same diner all the time, it's tough not to look at these people and think, "I want to make my dreams come true there, too."
I'll never forget the first time I went to New York. I was 13 years old and my parents and I stayed with our cousins who had an awesome West Village loft (with a spiral staircase and a celebrity who lived in the building). I was amazed by the creative energy of the city and how the sidewalks are crowded with both people and inspiration.
Every time I've been back since, it's all about the food: breakfast at the trendy, wonderful restaurant Jack's Wife Freda and any burger that I can get my hands on (yup, it's my favorite food ever). But I'm not a New Yorker, and so I can't really say that I truly get the things about food that people who are from there know.
The following 23 things are what only true New Yorkers get about food.
23 Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel Sandwiches Are The Best
When you're a true New Yorker, you eat this for breakfast: a sandwich on a bagel that has bacon, egg, and cheese. There is really no question about it, this is what you want to eat in the morning.
A lot of people who live in the city also talk about buying these from corner bodegas and how those taste amazing. These are also known as a good thing to eat if you stayed up a bit too late the night before.
22 Why Cook When You Can Order Takeout (Or Go Out)?
As someone who rarely cooks (thankfully, I don't starve thanks to my personal chef/my foodie fiance), I totally understand that many New Yorkers would rather not cook. It seems like their motto is, why cook when you can order takeout or go to a fun restaurant?
Someone posted on Reddit and talked about this: "Seems like no one I know in NYC cooks. Not a single person. Not even people making less than 40k/year. A couple friends light up their ovens once or twice a week to bake frozen pizzas. One friend makes stew once every couple weeks. There seems to be an almost anti-cooking culture here. Has anyone else noticed this?"
21 You Need To Have Access To Every Cuisine All The Time
Something else that only true New Yorkers get is that you should be able to eat any type of food that you want at any given time.
This is definitely because New York is such a massive city with so many cuisines and restaurants. And the cool thing is that so many of these places are legit. In other places, you have a lot of hit and miss meals and it can be tough to find the gems in a sea of restaurants, but in NYC, a lot of these restaurants are amazing and worth a visit. As someone who goes to the same few places all the time, I'm jealous of New Yorkers and their choices.
20 The Best Restaurants Need To Be Kept Under Wraps
The Huffington Post says that New Yorkers know that the best restaurants should be kept hidden.
It's not considered cool to tell everyone that you know about the awesome place that you just went to last night with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Most of the time, these are tiny restaurants, so you don't want other people to find out about them. You know, for selfish reasons. It would suck to not be able to get a table. I can relate to that: there's a magical pub near my apartment and it's the worst when it's super crowded. There's something uniquely New York about discovering a great restaurant that's still under the radar. I respect that.
19 Pizza Is Best Eaten Standing Up
Travel and Leisure says, "Eating pizza doesn't require a table. The best way to eat a slice of pizza is while standing on the street."
The rest of us are totally eating pizza wrong and we don't tend to eat it while standing, but know we know that New Yorkers eat pizza standing up sometimes. This is good to know because if you ever go to New York (and of course you should since it's one of the most exciting cities ever), then you want to eat pizza the right way. So forget the table and eat it while standing.
18 You Don't Want To Go To Tourist Traps
Time Out says that going to tourist traps when you live in New York just isn't done: "You consider iconic NYC foods (Juniors cheesecake, John's pizza, Shake Shack burgers, etc.) to be "overrated" but are still weirdly proud that they started here."
I definitely understand not wanting to go to touristy places when you live in a place like New York where you basically have anything that you could ever want to eat right there at your fingertips... or least a long walk, taxi ride, or subway ride away. Why would you eat a regular old burger and fries? You just wouldn't.
17 When You Eat Pizza, Please, Please, Please Fold It
The Culture Trip tells us the only process that we should be following should we find ourselves eating pizza in New York: "There is a right and wrong way to eat New York pizza. Don't let us catch you with a fork and knife! Use your hands. Fold, and enjoy."
We have probably heard of this folding method before, but if we hadn't, we're glad that now we're in the know. It would definitely suck to be seen eating pizza wrong in New York, aka the coolest city ever.
16 Brunch Is Basically A Way Of Life
It's awesome that brunch has become such a big deal pretty much everywhere. I know I'm not alone in counting eggs, bacon, and all kinds of breakfast foods among my most favorite (and the stuff that I will eat any time of day).
In New York, though, brunch is such a massive thing that it's basically a way of life. You find the best brunch spots and make a real day of it. You don't mind the lines because you know it's going to be epic. You might even have to wait for hours and hours because some places are that popular, but you know it'll be worth it.
15 Food Trucks Are Actually A Great Place For A Good Meal
The Culture Trip says that food trucks in New York City are actually really good places to get food from. The website notes that's not the case everywhere but it's definitely true in NYC.
This is good to know because if you're planning a trip anytime soon, you want to know where to eat. And it seems like if you're a foodie, you want to have the authentic New York foodie experience, and that includes going to some food trucks. Look up some types of food that you want to try and make a list before you go, and you should be good to go. (Of course, you have to post your food on social media, but you already knew that, right?!)
14 Ramen Is The Best
BBC Good Food notes that eating ramen is a thing that New Yorkers love to do. There are all kinds of ramen restaurants and this food is part of the NYC way of life. The combination of broth, noodles, veggies, and meat is truly delicious and worth seeking out if any of us find ourselves in New York City.
In fact, eating ramen is such a big thing that there are countless articles about where the best places to get it is. When there are tons and tons of top 10 lists about a type of food and where to get it, you know that it's good.
13 Bodegas Are A Legit Place To Grab Food
As Time Out says, New Yorkers shop for food at bodegas quite a bit, and it sounds like any of them are totally fine. The publication says, "Pick a bodega, any bodega will do. The smaller and [grimier] the better. Become friends with the guy behind the counter, pet the cat. Hey, you asked how to eat like a local."
I'm jealous of New Yorkers who can go to a corner bodega at any given time because that seems like such a fun thing to do. Going to the gourmet markets or regular old grocery stores in my neighborhood just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
12 The Stuff On Bagels Is Called "Schmear"
A bagel with "schmear" is a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or any combination of toppings. You simply can't say that you're getting a bagel with toppings on it without using this word if you're a true New Yorker.
I love this so much and think that we should all use this word all the time. Also, I think it's awesome that bagels are such a big deal in NYC because it's nice to see people loving carbs so much. Maybe all of us carb-loving people should go ahead and move to New York? That seems like a really good (and delicious) idea.
11 Early Bird Dinners Don't Need To Happen
I went to the University of Toronto and dinner actually started at 4:30 p.m. While, yes, that's super early and I would never eat at that time today, I would go pretty early sometimes so I could make it to my evening classes.
But in New York, early bird dinners aren't a thing at all... or a thing that most New Yorkers believe should exist. The Huffington Post says eating dinner at 11 p.m. is truly no big deal for a New Yorker. That makes sense. There's so much to do in that amazing city, why go for dinner super early?!
10 New York Bagels Are The Only Ones Worth Eating
According to The Huffington Post, this is something that New Yorkers know: New York bagels are the only ones that are worth eating. Don't go for any other bagel.
Are you wondering what makes a New York bagel taste the way that it does? Me too. According to Delish, "New York bagel shops (the real, genuine ones, that is) ferment their dough overnight in wooden containers, which allows tasty yeasts to grow and create complex flavor compounds. They then poach the bagels before baking them. The poaching is what you can thank for that true chewy texture of a New York bagel."
9 Takeout Can And Should Be Ordered 24/7
Something I always hear from people who live in New York is that they order takeout pretty much all the time. They feel very strongly about ordering food morning, noon, and night, and they don't understand how this isn't even possible in every single city or town.
I totally get it. Sometimes you have a massive craving for a certain food and even if it's midnight, why wouldn't you want to order in? New Yorkers have it made in the shade when it comes to ordering takeout. The rest of us are have to settle for finding restaurants that are actually open late (or going for fast food instead... yawn).
8 Waiting In Lines Is A Normal Part Of Eating Out
On my first NYC trip, my cousin brought us to a super packed restaurant for dinner and when my parents and I weren't keen on waiting in line, she informed us that everyone in New York waits in lines at restaurants.
This is something else that you only get if you're a true New Yorker. I personally hate waiting in lines, especially for food. I want my food and I want it now (I'm also impatient in general). But if you live in NYC, you get that the restaurants are so amazing and the food so epic that lines are no big deal to you.
7 You Probably Need A Reservation
Another thing that true New Yorkers know is that it's probably a good idea to make a reservation if you want to go somewhere.
Reservations are a big deal since there are so many restaurants that have become very popular and trendy. You might not be able to get a table if you just show up, and in some cases, places get booked up weeks or even months in advance. Sure, you don't mind lines if you really want to eat somewhere, but you could be waiting forever and still not get in. It's good to be prepared and make sure that you can experience the restaurant that you want to.
6 On That Note, You Can Totally Snag That Reservation If You Try Hard Enough
Bloomberg.com says that there is definitely a way to get into the place that you're dreaming of. The publication interviewed Jim Meehan who says, "Ask to be put on the cancellations list and tell the contact that you will be standing by for their call—and then do. Most restaurants lose 10 percent of their reservations to no-shows or last minute cancellations. If they can rely on you to fill a slot, they'll be more inclined to offer it to you, first."
It sounds like New Yorkers know that reservations are always possible if you try hard enough. I respect that and think that this is a philosophy that we could all stand to use on a daily basis. Hard work pays off... and then you get to eat delicious food. Sounds good to me.
5 There Are Snacks Sold Everywhere... And They're Good
When I think about New York snacks, I think of pretzels. You do too, don't you? These are definitely super popular.
As The Culture Trip points out, you really do want to try the snacks in NYC, including pretzels and nuts. The website says, "If you've ever walked down a New York City street, you've probably encountered the delicious aromas of honey-roasted nuts and gigantic, salty pretzels. Your first instinct may be to ignore those sweet scents, but we strongly recommend that you give them a chance." These do sound good. Those New Yorkers know what they're talking about when it comes to snack food.
4 Hot Dogs Should Be Gourmet, Not From Street Vendors
According to BBC Good Food, "Hot dogs are as ubiquitous to New York as yellow taxis. Traditionally made of ground pork, beef or both, these frankfurter-style sausages are flavoured with garlic, mustard and nutmeg before being encased, cured, smoked and cooked."
We've all seen the hot dog carts that seem to be on almost every single street in New York. There are hot dog vendors in other places, too, of course, including a ton in the city where I live. But there is something unique about the ones in NYC. They just seem part of the fabric of the city. But you want to get them from a fancier restaurant that is gourmet and has cool, fun, toppings, not from a vendor.
3 Fancy And Casual Food Is Eaten Equally
Tucker Shaw decided to write down and take photos of all the food that he ate back in 2004, and as he wrote for New York Magazine that he realized that he ate both fancy and more casual food. He said, "Like many New Yorkers, I live a high-low culinary life. Last year, cold pizza and cereal shared stomach space with fluke four ways from Le Bernardin and raspberry financiers from Café Gray. Most important: Food is everywhere. It happens not just around the table but in the street, at the office, in front of the television, even on the subway."
This seems like something that is true for many people living in New York. I definitely associate NYC food with casual fare, like pizza and pretzels, along with five-star restaurants run by celebrity chefs.
2 Deli Food Is A Way Of Life
One of the things that I love about New York is the delis. I grew up watching characters in movies and TV shows eating deli food in the city, and deli food is something that I ate a lot as a kid as well.
In New York, deli food is basically a way of life. A lot of New Yorkers absolutely love it. Think corned beef sandwiches, bagel sandwiches with cream cheese and lox, matzo ball soup, chicken noodle, and all kinds of delicious things. I have fond memories of deli food (I haven't found good gluten-free stuff yet) and bet that the deli food in NYC is the best that there is.
1 Food Trends Are For Tourists Only
As The Huffington Post says, the Cronut is among the many food trends that New Yorkers know aren't necessary to try. New Yorkers feel that food trends are for tourists only.
This makes a lot of sense to me since, first of all, I think that the Cronut sounds pretty gross (but then again, I've never had one). And second of all, if your city was known for starting or continuing all kinds of food trends, you don't necessarily want to jump right in. You want to be cool and decide on your own what kind of food you're going to eat.
Who wants to head to NYC for a food-filled weekend?

When Caitlyn Dawn Campi was born on Dec. 16 at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, she became the fourth-generation female on the maternal side of the family who lives in South Florida. She joins great-grandmother Virginia Macartney, grandmother Jan Franks, and her mom, Dawn Campi.
"I can't wait to take a picture" of the four generations, the new mom says.
Although there are no formal photographs of the quartet yet, baby Caitlyn already has been spending lots of time with her female forebears.
"We've had lunch with her Nana [great-grandma Virginia) already," Dawn Campi says, adding that grandmothers on both sides are eager for baby-sitting duty.
The long lineage on her mother's side doesn't mean Caitlyn has no strong links to her paternal side. In fact, the baby bears a remarkable resemblance to her father, William Campi.
"She looks just like my husband," Dawn Campi says. "Mostly his eyes and his coloring." Caitlyn has "strawberry, reddish blonde hair, and my husband was a redhead as a kid," the new mom says.
Caitlyn will be christened in early March at a Methodist church in Davie, near the young family's home.
The baby's maternal grandfather is Aude Franks, who lives with his wife in Davie. The paternal grandparents are Louis and Stasia Campi of Fort Lauderdale.

Dreams I've Had #2
Sean Connery was going to pay me $20/hr to keep him warm.
My mom and aunt Terri had a bet how warm I could keep him–mom said 98 degrees, Terri said 380 degrees. The real temp was 78 degrees so mom won.
She said I needed a belt and happy meal clothes to stay warm. ((Great advice))
And then I was going to have to walk home but it was snowing and I didn't have any shoes on.
They were making a movie called The Eye and Cthulhu (the eye of Sauron vs Cthulhu)
I was supposed to feel glamorous but I kept thinking I make more than $20/hr working for myself. I should be making $200 or $2000/hr–
I mean it is Sean Connery and he made me feel uncomfortable.

Frederick Seawright, aka Brickhouse Brown, passed away on Sunday morning after a battle with prostate cancer. Brown was 57 years old.
This news come just nine days after former WWE star B. Brian Blair announced on Twitter that Brown had passed away. Later that day, Blair revealed he received a phone call from Brown's mother that he was still alive and fighting.
F4WOnline reports Brown was in hospice care in Mississippi when he flatlined on July 20 and a nurse pronounced him dead. His mother stayed with Brown and heard him say, "Mom, I'm hungry." Brown's mother reportedly woke up and started screaming. To make matters worse, a coroner was on the way to take Brown's body.
Brown began his wrestling career in Texas working for Joe Blanchard. Brown received training from Terry Funk and others. Brown also worked for many different territories in the early 1980s and 1990s, including Continental Championship Wrestling (CCW), AWA, CWA and USWA where he feuded with Robert Fuller, Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee. He held both the CCW Heavyweight Championship and USWA TV Title.
Brown worked regularly on the independent wrestling scene until he became ill. He also stared in very popular shoot interviews for Highspots, where he discussed crazy conspiracy stories surrounding pro wrestling.
His funeral will be held in Florida on August 11, what would have been 58th birthday.
On behalf of the entire Wrestleview.com staff, we would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Brown during this very hard time.
Thanks to Jerome Wilen for help with this report.

Beacon Bulletins: The WhatsApp-based startup trying to become the Netflix of news
Petrol price hike. Demonetisation. Doklam. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Aadhaar. Just some of the hot topics that have been in the news recently and Beacon has covered them all.
A former product manager at Firstpost, Mithun Kidambi, has been running this WhatsApp/Telegram service since April of this year. Beacon is a news service you wouldn't want to put on mute. The premise is simple – curate the news that matters the most and communicate it through a well-written, succinct bulletin.
All one has to do is sign up and choose whether you want to receive the news on either of the two popular messaging services, WhatsApp or Telegram. Kidambi and his team of helpers will do the rest, texting you two short bulletins a day, each containing about five stories on average.
The bulletins comes with brief messages that precede the stories of the day. It's not the usual faff you see floating around on Facebook or Twitter, but a carefully thought out selection. It's also not just text. It can be infographics, videos, podcasts and more.
Most importantly, you don't have to join one of those WhatsApp groups with dozens of members who forward the same thing many times a day. Or, worse still, flood your phone with fake news. Beacon uses what is called a broadcast list to send messages to each of the subscribers individually.
"No more fake news. No more click-bait. No more nonsense. Get NEWS that keeps you informed," reads the company's website.
Beacon Bulletins' "two agenda setting bulletins everyday" are free for the first month. Thereafter it'll cost you just Rs 1 per day.
Kidambi hopes that Beacon can get the people of the country to re-engage with the news and be at the centre of the daily conversation. Kidambi says that WhatsApp is one of the best mediums for distributing information as the base is continuously growing, hence it's being used as a starting point.
Beacon is not in a league of its own. There has been a mini revolution in this sector. There are fact-checkers, hoax-slayers and others sending daily messages debunking the biggest fake news stories of the day. There is also Rocket Post Live, run by Shivendra Gaur in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh. Rocket Post Live, as of end March, has gotten 8,000 subscribers paying Rs 100 a year.
In a chat with Catch News, Beacon founder Mithun Kidambi talks about how the idea for a service like this came up, the competition in the sector, fake news and more.
Here are the edited excerpts of the interview:
SB: What is Beacon and when did you come up with the idea?
MK: Beacon Bulletins is a news bulletin service, where subscribers receive bulletins twice a day. We deliver via WhatsApp and Telegram right now.
The idea to start Beacon was sparked off partly by the profusion of nonsense being passed around on WhatsApp as news. We believe that WhatsApp is a great medium for information distribution but has been largely ignored by most because of its DIY nature and lack of any bulk messaging capabilities.
Simultaneously, we were also keen on creating a news service that highlighted real issues and focused on delivering news beyond sensational headlines and click-bait. We believed that there was an audience for this and this audience would pay to receive their news.
Thankfully India has a lot of good journalism happening, beyond the obvious catchment of big name news websites and for these publications, discovery is a gap. With Beacon Bulletin we aim to bring these voices to an audience who may not end up trekking to these publications on their own.
SB: Why a curated news bulletin on Telegram/WhatsApp? Why not through email or some other medium?
MK: As stated above, WhatsApp, and to a smaller extent Telegram, are highly underutilised information distribution channels. Also, both are far more personal. This ensures a level of active participation. The problem with email is the perception of spam and the profusion of newsletters that already exist in the space. Also, email is not the communication channel of choice for many users, particularly the newer users.
SB: Who are your primary competitors in the space.
MK: Because we curate reports from a wide variety of sources we can't really call other news publications competitors. News apps like In Shorts, Flipboard who aggregate content can be considered competitors. Also products like Nuzzle, Feedly etc that help in content discovery based on personalisation are competitors. After all, a person has only so much time to spend every day reading the news.
SB: How has it been since launch and how many trial users have converted into paying users?
MK: Honestly, when we started, we weren't sure how people would react to news on WhatsApp and so since our start on April 12, we've kept it low-key. No Facebook updates or any such. All the user acquisition has happened via word-of-mouth. So far we've got a little over 200 subscribers. Our conversion rate to paid subscribers is currently around 40%, and a majority of those are opting for the higher, two-month-long subscription package. This has given us confidence to now publicise Beacon Bulletins.
SB: How do you choose the news you want to present to your readers?
MK: Topicality, zeitgeist, events of consequence and so on. Essentially a constant scan of what's happening and then picking the most demonstrative and sane piece about the news. We tend to go for first person reportage as much as possible, staying away from 'news curation pieces'.
The other clear objective is to highlight news that gets pushed out of the mainstream news, like stories from rural India, stories about gender and so on.
We're also clear that click-bait, 'news' from the entertainment industries, product launches, minor political events and business profiles will be excluded. The reports need to be wider in scope and the events need to be consequential.
SB: How do you deal with the onslaught of fake news that is cropping up every day?
MK: We have no compulsion to 'fill space', so to speak and so end up finding enough relevant topics to cover and avoid the sensationalism that fake news thrives on. The other aspect is too skeptical to a fault. If a number seems too big or a story seems to fit too well we choose to step back and let the story pass. Yes, sometimes when the government creates fake news we do get caught like the case when the Maharashtra government announced the end of the farmer's strike a few days before it ended.
SB: How big is your team and do you plan to expand anytime soon? Or is it just a one/two people operation?
MK: Beacon Bulletins began with me and a friend who'd been a senior on the desk of agencies and major news publications helping me out. He helped out for a few weeks while moving between jobs. Then for a few weeks, it was me alone, now I have another friend helping out with certain aspects of the Bulletins.
The plan is to expand and take the next logical steps with Beacon, Beacon Bulletins being the first product, so to speak.
SB: Apart from paying subscribers, what other revenue sources do you envision for the future?
MK: The idea is to create a Netflix or store for news. Journalists are best at sourcing information and writing out reports that challenge the way we think and perceive the world. I believe that in order to be able to do that fearlessly they should not have to worry about derivative metrics like page views etc. The idea is to make Beacon into a platform where people pay for the news they get.
SB: Do you plan on expanding beyond WhatsApp/Telegram and into other categories?
MK: Yes, as a matter of fact, a fair number of our subscribers want features such as saving an article, discussion boards and so on. The natural progression is a product that allows them to do this while keeping the current model of distribution going.
There are plans for verticals as well. I'm in early conversations with editors who want to focus on particular verticals.
SB: How big do you expect the industry to be in the next couple of years?
MK: WhatsApp has some 200 odd million MAUs in India out of 300 million smartphone users. By 2020 it is reported that India will have 520 million smartphone users. This means we're looking at a market size of 350-400 million users in India by 2020.

Can I receive medical treatment for my work related injury?
Virginia Law says that an injured workers employer must provide any and all necessary medical attention that is related to a work accident. It is important to understand that the employee is not responsible for paying for any medical treatment that is ultimately found to be related to the accident and injury. Of course, this assumes that the employer and insurer have agreed to cover the claim and/or that the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission has awarded benefits.
What kind of Medical Treatment can I receive for my injury?
As stated above, Virginia law places the burden of offering medical treatment to an injured worker on the employer. An injured worker can be potentially entitled to a wide range of medical treatment including hospitalizations, office visits with physicians, diagnostic testing like MRI's and X-Rays and surgery. Virginia law is clear: the purpose of providing medical care is to restore the injured worker, to the extent possible, to the injured worker's pre-injury medical status.
How do I obtain medical treatment for my injury?
Virginia Workers Compensation law requires that the employer provide a "panel of physicians" to an employee after the accident. The employer should provide the panel of physicians as soon as possible. If the employer does not provide a panel of physicians an employee may then secure treatment based upon the employee's own choice of physician. How long does the employer have to offer a panel of physicians before an injured worker can chose a physician of their own? This question has been presented to Courts many times. Ultimately, there is no specific time period written in the law, but the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission and the Courts will look at all of the circumstances to determine if the employer provided a panel of physicians in a reasonable time frame. Some examples of what the Courts will look at to determine reasonableness:
1. When did the employer have notice of the accident?
2. Did the employer investigate the accident and, if so, when?
3. Did the employee request medical treatment?
The bottom line is that the employer is required to provide medical treatment. However, many issues arise in determining what treatment is actually required and who gets to decide what treatment is actually covered. This is a complex area of work injury law.

Last month I was invited by the New England Federation of Humane Societies to participate in a panel discussion about shipping un-owned companion animals from areas of excess to those where potential adopters exist. I was happy to accept the invitation because this is another one of those animal-related practices that superficially appears to be a win-win situation for animals and humans alike. But is that really the case? Much as I dread triggering the wrath of passionate advocates of the practice, the answer to that is no.
My starting point was to view the animals being transported not as just dogs or cats needing homes, but as ecosystems of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and other micro-organisms with which they and their ancestors have coevolved over many generations. At the same time, these fur-covered ecosystems also evolved to survive in their particular climate and physical environment.
That awareness gives rise to the following question regarding the interstate and international transportation of companion animals between shelters or from rescue group to adopter: How will those imported animal-ecosystems mesh with the ones through which the animal passes and in which the animal finally resides?
When I explored this issue with an eye toward answering that question, I found myself confronting the elements of, if you'll pardon a way overused-to-the-point-of-cliché analogy, a perfect storm looming just over the horizon. Of the multiple factors that are involved, the following eight struck me as most worthy of immediate consideration. Although I discuss each one separately for clarity, all of them function simultaneously and generate many complex variations in the process.
1. Lack of a reliable pre-shelter/rescue history.
Some shelters have areas where people can drop off animals any time of the day or night. Consequently, it is often impossible to say what these animals may have been exposed to that might have ramifications for them as well as for any other animals or humans with whom they may come in contact with later. What little history is available may not be shared with adopters or adopters may forget it. For example, in areas of the Northeast it's not uncommon for owners to know/remember little about their new animal's past except "she's one of the Virginia dogs."
2. Individual physical, behavioral, and bond trauma to the animals themselves, either before getting into the shelter/rescue system or within it, that may impact the animal's well-being then or following placement.
Although some people maintain that the end justifies the means, the fact is that young puppies who become part of the transport program may be subjected to a tremendous amount of stress. For example, they may be separated from their mothers, vaccinated, wormed, maybe bathed and dipped, castrated or spayed, shipped, put up for adoption, and be in their new homes by 8-12 weeks of age. Compared to the normal progression or even that which occurs in puppy mills, this subjects these young animals to much more stress.
3. Threat to indigenous domestic and/or wild animal populations posed by pathogens carried by the transported animals for which those native populations may lack immunity.
This is particularly troubling for veterinarians who may be unfamiliar with the pathogens in those areas from where the transported animals originate. Additionally, the lack of a reliable history may make it impossible to determine the animal's source and that, in turn, can make an accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment of medical problems extremely difficult. Because of this, early signs of transmissible diseases may be missed or misdiagnosed as the infected animal continues to move freely and infect others.
4. Climate change.
Pathogens or parasites carried by southern animals that may not have survived in northern climates in the past might now. For example, there are three diseases transported by ticks: Lyme Disease, erlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. At one time, Lyme disease was only found in the New England states, erlichiosis in the south, and anaplasmosis in the mid-west. Now areas that have one most likely have all three and those areas have greatly expanded because both the ticks that carry the organisms and the organisms themselves can now survive where they couldn't in the past.
5. Zoonotic potential.
Transported animals could be carrying diseases that are transmissible to humans. A standard statement among epidemiologists regarding the introduction of potentially devastating pathogens is "We are only one plane trip or one import away from a major epidemiological event." However, although this has been well recognized regarding the transportation of food animals and those for sale, little or noting is being done to address this reality in animals transported for adoption. As increasing numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are being found in the environment, this becomes an even greater threat.
6. The lack of a national animal identification system which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to track an animal and results in delays in identifying the source of any contagious disease.
Unfortunately, the introduction and implementation of such a system has been so mishandled by certain government representatives that the message often gets lost in the public's desire to kill the messenger. Even more unfortunately, it appears that a lot of animals and humans may need to succumb to fatal or debilitating diseases thanks to delayed tracking before a rational discussion regarding the value of such a system will be possible.
7. The lack of a national human identification system which makes it equally difficult to track diseases any humans may have picked up from these animals.
This is another consequence of a lack of a national healthcare system and one that is already costing us. For example, even though pathologists at individual hospitals were aware that methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was killing patients, the United States is years behind those countries with such ID systems in the quest to control outbreaks and determine their source. Because animals can transmit MRSA to humans as well as vice versa, the concurrent lack of national animal and human ID systems can double the delays inherent in pinning down the source of diseases.
8. Transported animals may attract adopters with "rescueitis" with its related misconceptions and unrealistic expectations. When these animals attract media coverage in which they are portrayed as victims of natural disasters, hoarders, or high-profile abusers, this effect can be heightened.
Some of us are highly neophilic when it comes to companion animals. We just love novelty. The more chaotic and depressing an animal's history, the more we're attracted to that animal. That's fine if we have the knowledge, skill, and commitment to the animal to anticipate and prevent or handle all the behavioral and/or health challenges these animals might embody. But if the novelty causes us to replace concrete knowledge with a "love will conquer all" attitude, both animals and humans could suffer.
Does this mean that we should stop transporting animals all over the country to find homes for them? That's a question I asked myself time and time again as I prepared for the panel discussion. My conclusion is that the practice is a viable short-term option—provided all those involved are aware of its flaws and limitations and do everything in their power to address these. This would include:
- scrupulous records-keeping and sharing that information with adopters
- a reliable identification system at least within the shelter or rescue organizations working with each other
- fanatic attention to cleanliness of the animals, their housing, and all transport vehicles, both before picking up those animals and after discharging them
- Keeping all transported animals separated from other animals throughout transport
But I can't stress the "short-term" too much. Like mass spay and neuter, shipment of unwanted animals treats the effect rather than the cause. Unless an equal amount or more resources are devoted to addressing the cause, this practice ultimately will become part of the problem rather than being part of the solution.

Thanks to Sage Taylor for the awesome photo!
Lei Out is easily one of the biggest ultimate tournaments in the world, with nearly 4500 players in 2016 and still expected to be bigger this year!
You'll of course have a rockin' time with your own crew; but having so many folks in one place means you're also bound to run into former teammates, and you'll for sure make dozens of new friends on the beach! And there's just the warm feel-goodness of seeing a sea of people wearing funny costumes playing beach ultimate for as far as the eye can see.
The downside of having so many players in one place is that we take up a lot of space! It takes at least half an hour to walk from Tourney Central to the farthest field (multiply X 5 if you stop to chat with friends playing in games as you pass, as is inevitable). It's really difficult for one venue to hold all of our craziness for the Saturday party, and hotels near the fields fill up months in advance.
Have no fear, ultimate sandstars, we've got 5 years of Lei Out experience, and we're here to share with you all the tips we've learned along the way:
Getting around
1. Get some wheels!
There's a sidewalk that stretches the entire 2-mile length of the fields. Rent bikes or rollerblades, or check your razor scooter on the plane to make the commute more bearable!
Where to rent bikes: Sea Mist Rentals or Santa Monica Beach Bicycle Rentals
2. Use rideshare!
Uber and Lyft are very affordable if your hotel/airBnB is far from the pier, and if you get a group to carpool and split the cost, well you do the math. Don't make a teammate DD and spend the whole party circling around looking for parking!
Know where to be when
1. Go to the merch booth saturday morninG!
As was mentioned, there are a TON of people playing at Lei Out, and gear and giveaways always go fast. Take some time Saturday morning to catch up with old friends at Tourney Central and enjoy the primo sizes and items of Lei Out gear at Five HQ.
You wait till Sunday afternoon to hit up the merch booth, and you will see slim pickings, friends!
(Heads up for your convenience, this year we'll have TWO merch tents spaced out along the beach on Saturday!)
2. Get to the finals field early!
After your games end on Sunday, hustle on over to the finals field (in front of Tourney Central) to snag a couch and get a front row seat to the action! (In case you need to be hyped on how awesome the finals game is: feed on these 2016 highlights!)
Lei Out doesn't end when the game's over, though - stay for the dance party that congregates in the middle of the field afterward! It's a terrific way to send off Lei Out 2017 in one epic mosh of sweat and friend-love.
Super pro tip: offer to help the booths clean up after the event and you might get some free swag that's leftover!
Places in the area to check out
1. The party is at Rusty's!
It gets crowded fast, so don't pre-funk too long before you come out to the party! Get your wristbands from your captain, and boogie on down to the pier for some good dancing (until it gets so crowded that dancing becomes more jumping and group swaying that is)!
2. feed yourself at Stout Burgers and Beers
Need some grub after playing all day? This is the spot. Delicious burgers, great service, and smack dab in the middle of all the Lei Out action - you can't go wrong!
3. For 21+ friends: enjoy 2 for 1 drinks at Cabo Cantina!
A couple things before you embark: 1) there's about a 2-hour window when the deal is not available, and 2) the deal does NOT include the mega margaritas. If you order the mega marg expecting a deal, you will be sorely disappointed when you get the bill...
There is also karaoke here on Thursday and Sunday's if you're around on those days!
Over to you!
Do you have some favorite spots and expert advice for folks going to Lei Out? Let us and our readers know in the comments below!
