Steal of a Deal
"Was looking for the perfect pair of nude pumps for at least two years. When I saw these I was in love. The price made it even better. I love the look and the fit. I went up a half a size because I know that many italian designer shoes usually run small. I'm glad I did, because these will certainly be a staple in my shoe collection for years to come."

Huge Disappoitment!
"I was so excited to get these in the mail but it quickly faded as soon as I tried these on. I am normally a 9.5 but got a 10 for just I in case....let's just say it didn't work. To put it simply these shoes are gorge but way to narrow and there's no give. I even took them to be stretched for 24hrs and there was no change. Can't wait to trade them in for boots!"

Manny Malhotra will March in Vancouver Pride Parade
Thomas Drance
August 01 2012 10:58AM
Thrilled to be joined by Manny Malhotra for this Sunday's— Patrick Burke (@BurkieYCP) August 1, 2012
@vancouverpride parade. Unprecedented step by the Canucks organization here.
Manny Malhotra faces some of the toughest circumstances in the league. He has a very specific job: win defensive zone draws, clear the puck and change. It's not glamorous work, and it depresses his individual plus/minus numbers, which, in turn leads to questions about his effectiveness. But he does his job well, and handles himself with perpetual class.
That class is on display again. It was announced today, per an official press release on Canucks.nhl.com that Manny Malhotra has agreed to march in the Vancouver 2012 Pride Parade taking place Sunday August 5th, alongside Vancouver's Gay Men's Hockey Team "The Cutting Edges" and Patrick Burke of You Can Play.
Read on past the jump.
Malhotra will become the third active NHLer to march in a North American Pride Parade, joining Brent Sopel and Tommy Wingels (a College friend of Brendan Burke's) both of whom marched in Chicago Pride Parades in 2010 and 2012 respectively. "It's paramount that equality in sport, and beyond, becomes the norm," Malhotra told Canucks.nhl.com, "Everybody has the right to play the game they love. I am excited to share this message of equality and show my support this Sunday."
For the Canucks, showing this level of "official support," for You Can Play and their message of equality in sports strikes me as a big step. Patrick Burke seems to agree, describing the official support of NHL clubs as "vital" to the goals of the organization:
Its just as important to have the organizations on board as it is to have the players. The players control the culture. The teams control the jobs. The Canucks have now taken an official position that, "You Can Play" and LGBT athletes and fans know that Vancouver is a safe place.
In addition to Malhotra, the Canucks will have another team presence at the parade - they're sending the team mascot Fin to march on Sunday as well. All silliness aside, mascots like Fin are emblematic embodiments of the franchise, who are primarily designed to appeal to children. To my ears, Fin's presence carries some additional significance.
For centuries, homosexual men were described by the general public as "perverts," who posed a threat to children in particular. More recently, this sort of "fear" manifested itself in the legal fight over gay marriage, and one can find left over residue of this particular strain of intolerance in some people's opinions regarding the adoption of children by same-sex couples.
Tolerance is one thing, and it's important, but dignity is a higher value. The ability of LGTB people to form their own, legally protected family units was the Civil Rights triumph of our generation in Canada (and is an ongoing effort in the United States). So sending Fin - a character clearly aimed at families - to the Pride Parade is a bold, if subtle, statement by the organization in my view.
Lately, You Can Play has drawn some criticism (from myself, for example) partly because the organization is forgiving of intolerance as a matter of principle, and also because they remain staunchly apolitical in their messaging. All quibbles aside, You Can Play is carrying an essential torch. After all, competition incentivizes efficiency (intolerance is massively inefficient), and because familiarity breeds understanding, sports (and oddly, the military) has long been an essential incubator of social change. One may not always agree with everything You Can Play does, but the power and simplicity of their message is responsible for making moments and events like this possible.
Good on the Canucks for getting on board. This a proud day for the franchise, their fans and the city of Vancouver.
Way to be a boss Manny.
Glad to see a Canuck as part of this, and to see the organization itself start to get behind this.
So proud to be a Canucks fan. I'll be there! I'll be the one in blue and green body glitter from head to toe.
August 01 2012, 05:17PM
This kind of stuff irks me.
Hockey isn't about sexual preferences, race, political or religious beliefs.
I am more interested in what a player brings to the team, and couldn't care less who he sleeps with.
i wish it was still 2005 and i could make a derogatory joke about Manny sympathizing and shots to the eye

migration of animals
Introductionmigration of animals, movements of animals in large numbers from one place to another. In modern usage the term is usually restricted to regular, periodic movements of populations away from and back to their place of origin. A single round trip may take the entire lifetime of an individual, as with the Pacific salmon; or an individual may make the same trip repeatedly, as with many of the migratory birds and mammals. The animals may travel in groups along well-defined routes; or individuals may travel separately, congregating for breeding and then spreading out over a wide feeding area, as do some of the seals.

On a hilltop in Istanbul, overlooking a sweep of the Bosphorus strait, sits a fantasy of Ottoman opulence, its rooms filled with the enticing secrets of Turkish bazaars.
21 Reasons to Wear Beach Jewelry
On a hilltop in Istanbul, overlooking a sweep of the Bosphorus strait, sits a fantasy of Ottoman opulence, its rooms filled with the enticing secrets of Turkish bazaars.More
On March 17 two days before the New York Times ran an op-ed, "McCarthyism Comes to Turkey," that highlighted the Turkish government's crackdown on social media, T, the newspaper's style magazine, reported on the best hot shaves near Istanbul's Blue Mosque. Strange bedfellows? Perhaps not. The city has always been a crossroads—of East and West, rich and poor, Christian and Muslim—with an identity that both literally and figuratively spans two continents. Since the Gezi Park protests in 2013, though, the tension that gives the city its unique charm has exploded in the virtual world. The government's decision to block Turkey's 79 million citizens from accessing Twitter caused a domestic and international uproar. In April the ruling was deemed unconstitutional and overturned by the country's constitutional court, but the debate is far from over.
It's something of a relief, then, that upon entering Serdar Gülgün's hilltop home, Macar Feyzullah Pasha, with its sweeping views of the Bosphorus and the European side of the city, I see no sign of modern technology. The restored hunting pavilion, originally built for an exiled Hungarian pasha in the 1850s, boasts no flat-screens, touch panels, or remote-controlled blinds. Instead, walking through Gülgün's home is like going back to an earlier (if not gentler) time. (That's not to say Gülgün is an out-of-touch Luddite. He e-mails and has a cell phone, and although I keep looking for a harpist, the sounds of classical Arab strings undulating through the four-story wooden frame house actually emanate from cleverly hidden speakers.)
Mint tea is set out on inlaid trays; the air smells of melon and musk. Gülgün appears at the top of the winged marble staircase, wearing a custom aubergine dinner jacket, a starched white shirt, and tasseled velvet slippers. His rimless glasses float above a thick mustache. He could be a descendant of the pasha himself, though I doubt the prince wore Levi's. "Most old homes like this have been destroyed," he tells me, standing under the frescoed ceiling of the formal entry hall, which is filled with red lacquer altar tables, supersized blue and white porcelain urns, bronze serpentine sconces, and a sprawling antique Oushak carpet. " Restoration is actually more of a recent phenomenon." An interior designer, author, and classically trained Ottoman art expert, Gülgün spent his childhood navigating the labyrinthine stalls of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. His 2011 tome, The Grand Bazaar, lavishly illustrates his favorite dealers and helps demystify the often overwhelming marketplace.

The Canucks Week in Quips
January 25 2013 08:56AM
He's the hero that Vancouver deserves (courtesy @SchneidersTeeth).
This is a new Friday feature combining a healthy mixture of observation, analysis, and foresight on the Vancouver Canucks. If you'd like to get at me about anything covered in this column, follow me on Twitter at @yyjordan and let's start a textual relationship (wink).
This week's topics include everything from Alain Vigneault to "the goalie situation", with absolutely no mention of Zack Kassian.
1. So, Zack Kassian. Talk about taking advantage of your opportunities. Zack made the most out of a surprise shift with the Sedins in Sunday's game against Edmonton, and so far he hasn't looked back. What impresses me most about Kassian is not just his ability to be in the right spot for the twins, but his ability to create plays himself (read Patrick Johnston's excellent breakdown of Kassian's "beast mode" goal against the Flames). He has underrated vision and passing ability, which has helped him excel with Daniel and Henrik despite two mediocre efforts by their lofty standards. Before Alexandre Burrows came along, fans used to pine for "a big, right-handed shot to play with the twins". It took about 7 years longer than expected, but that player could finally be here.
2. It's a small sample size (and a player who just turned 22 yesterday is bound to have some ups and downs along his development curve), but if Kassian sticks with the Sedins, the landscape of the Canucks forward group changes drastically. It likely allows Burrows to slot in comfortably on the wing with Ryan Kesler and David Booth when they're healthy, and that is an attractive line on paper. That means one of Hansen, Raymond or Higgins is playing on the 4th line. That's lower than any of them deserve, but depth never hurts, especially in a short season.
3. Continuing the Kassian thread, a few stats for those who claim Alain Vigneault doesn't give young players a fair shake: Zack had nearly 20 minutes of ice-time against Calgary, and replaced Jannik Hansen on the top power-play unit. Meanwhile, in his first NHL game Jordan Schroeder played just under 15 minutes, saw time on the second power-play unit, and took the second shift in overtime against a division rival. AV has always done what any sensible person coaching a good team would do, and that's give opportunities to young players if they prove they deserve it and are solid defensively.
4. This brings us to drafting. Cam Cole published an interview with Mike Gillis earlier in the week and everyone jumped on the quote about Roberto Luongo, but what I found most noteworthy was the criticism of Gillis' draft history. Not only is it too early to judge Gillis' body of work at the draft (his first was 2008), but there are no surefire stars when you're picking in the 20-30 range (which Cole does admit). What Gillis has done a stellar job of is adding quality players through trades and free agency without sacrificing too much; Max Lapierre, Chris Higgins, Dan Hamhuis, Manny Malhotra, Jason Garrison, even Raffi Torres and Dale Weise...all good-to-great additions. He's also locked up his core of players to deals below market value.
5. Speaking of Jason Garrison, how have you liked him in a Canucks uniform so far? I'm a fan. During the season opener, a friend remarked that it is as if Garrison is just the right combination of Sami Salo and Christian Ehrhoff. I can see his point — the booming shot and steady defense of Salo, mixed with the passing instincts (if not quite the skating ability) of Ehrhoff.
6. Earlier in the week Bob McKenzie reported that both the Oilers and Blackhawks are interested in Roberto Luongo. I had a lengthy discussion with several people on Twitter about this, and it's hard to imagine either scenario. You just don't trade an elite goaltender to a division rival who's had the last three 1st overall picks. The last time something like that happened, the goalie was lifting the Stanley Cup soon after. For a rival like the Oilers or Hawks to end up with Luongo, they're going to have to overpay; think along the lines of Dave Bolland, Patrick Sharp, or Jordan Eberle. Fans of those teams will crap their pants reading that, but don't expect a rival to just hand you the goalie you've been searching for for nothing.
7. Jeff Marek mentioned on his podcast that there is still bad blood between Kevin Lowe and Mike Gillis over the botched Michael Nylander deal in 2007. If you've forgotten, Gilis and Nylander apparently had a deal all but done with Edmonton, before turning aroud and signing with the Washington Capitals. Just another reason why a deal with the Oilers is very unlikely.
8. Read #17 in Elliotte Friedman's always excellent "30 Thoughts" from this week. It's an interesting note from Kelly Hrudey — who played in the last lockout-shortened season — about how the muscles in a goalie's eyes need to be trained for the speed of the NHL game. It could help explain the slow starts of both Vancouver netminders, and a few others around the league.
9. Behind the Net has their advanced stats up for the season so far. There are plenty of wacky numbers this early in a shortened season, and taking a look at PDO ratings will reveal that the Anaheim trio of Saku Koivu, Andrew Cogliano and Daniel Winnik that victimized the Canucks last Saturday are among the league leaders in that category. It's a reminder that much of what we've seen this week is likely an aberration in the big picture, even if the picture is smaller this year.
10. Finally, I just want to mention how great it is that Canucks hockey is back, and I love that I get to watch games again and share the experience with a lot of you on Twitter. The Twitter aspect of Canucks broadcasts is one of the things I missed the most during the lockout. No matter what happens in the game, something hilarious always happens on Twitter (like the image for this post). I look forward to what the rest of what this super weird short season has in store.
January 25 2013, 11:40AM
If the Oilers want Loungo, they can have him. But we want Yakupov in return. Wow, did you see last night's game against the Kings? What I love about the kid (besides his crazy skill set -duh!) is the energy and size he plays with. He isn't afraid to go into the dirty areas and land some big hits on players (reminds me a bit of Ovechkin with his big hits).
Can you imagine him on our 2nd line? That would be something!
Lol, Bolland, Sharp, or Eberle for Luongo? Talk about fan-boy delusions. Canucks fans are in for a rude awakening when they see what they get in return for Luongo.
January 25 2013, 01:07PM
You're totally right about Kassian. It's better to be quietly confident about him. Vancouver fans are way too fickle and rave about players way too easily... (please look to the example of hot games by Bob Essensa, Sergei Shirokov.. wait.. i cant think of better examples.. maybe because most of the Canucks 1st-rounders are crap (Jason Herter, Josh Holden, Alek Stojanov, Patrick White..)).
Nevertheless, it's been a long time since we've had a good young power forward like Kassian.
Also.. i do think Washington might be the team that will make a play for Luongo... not sure for who though... Read this through Canuck fans on the forum.canucks.com board... For Marcus Johansson + prospects?
INTERESTING FACT: 2006 NHL Draft Canucks picked 14th overall - Michael Grabner,
Canucks trade 46th overall to Buffalo for Mika Noronen (WHO?) - Buffalo picks Jhonas Enroth
Boston picks 50th overall - Milan Lucic..
January 25 2013, 01:41PM
Perhaps you missed the part where Jordan stated that a rival team is going to have to overpay.
Oilers won't get Lou for Peckham and Omark.
Perhaps you missed the part where Jordan stated that a rival team is going to have to overpay.
Oilers won't get Lou for Peckham and Omark.
And how much more do you think Luongo is worth?
Hey, don't knock White. He was part of the blockbuster package that the Sharks got for Christian Ehrhoff ;-)
January 25 2013, 03:25PM
Depends on the team.
Oilers would have to sacrifice one of the big 4.
Gillis wouldn't give a division rival a key piece for anything less.
Tambellini isn't going to give up one of his big 4.
Lou also isn't likely to waive his NTC to go live in Edmonton for 7-8 months of the year.
I'm 99.9% sure we won't see Lou in an Oilers jersey or one of the big 4 in a Canucks jersey.

Changing California's Landscape
Previously on exhibit in the Peter J. Shields Lobby — Special Collections Display Cases
Now available as a Web Exhibit
The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation donated its archives along with funds to process the collection to Special Collections, University Library, University of California, Davis, in 2006. This exhibit chronicles the Foundation's role in creating ornamental landscapes perfectly suited to California's challenging climates.
The Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation was founded in 1952 by a group of visionary horticulturalists and nurserymen committed to improving western horticulture. At the height of its membership, the Foundation had approximately 400 members engaged in research, educational outreach, and promotion of selected cultivars. In response to several years of drought, the Foundation actively encouraged the use of California native plants and trees, shade trees to maximize cooling, and alternative plantings for heavily-watered areas. This emphasis on low-water and shady ornamental landscapes made the Foundation one of the early promoters of water and energy conservation.
The finding aid for the Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation collection is available at the Online Archive of California (http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt3m3nd10c).
This exhibit was created by Liz Phillips, Manuscript and Photograph Archivist, Special Collections, University Library, UC Davis.

- The Chakra that Kisame stole from Killerbee really only restored Kisame to his former strength.
- Kisame left his sword behind to drain Killerbee. As one of the Seven Swordsmen, Kisame really does rely on his blade.
- While one could argue that Samehada wouldn't make all that big a difference against Guy (who doesn't rely on chakra-based attacks), the sword itself is critical for Kisame's fighting style. Without it, he cannot block or parry close-range attacks, cannot slice/drain his opponents (which would still be harmful to a close-range fighter like Guy), and cannot replenish his strength (which may have helped him recover from Guy's Afternoon Tiger ability).
The fact is, Kisame was fighting primarily to escape and deliver his message to Madara. He may have been surrounded by water, but it's not as if he can't just effortlessly summon as much water as he could need. The presence of the ocean merely saved him the trouble.
Guy's Afternoon Tiger, while momentarily allowing him to take down Kisame, actually did more damage to Guy's body that it did to Kisame's. To me, that speaks volumes about the difference in their power. Kisame could have kept fighting after a momentary breather (where he not surrounded by Yamato/Naruto/Killerbee), but Guy could barely move. However, while Guy's power-up lasted, he DID have complete power over the momentarily stunned Kisame.
I'm just providing a different view of their fight. While Guy did win, the exact factors that contributed to his win against Kisame are, in my opinion, up for debate.

The UMass Amherst Minuteman Marching Band takes to the streets of New York City later this morning where it will perform in the Macy's Parade. The band expects to play to a street audience of more than 3 million people and a national TV audience of 50 million.
Timothy Anderson directs the UMass marching band. He says playing in the Macy's Parade is unlikely anything the students have ever done before. "[The parade] is much more continuous activity. For example, for a football game half-time show, we're limited to 15 minutes, whereas the parade itself is going to be at least 60 minutes if not 90 minutes from when we start to when we get to the [Macy's store]," says Anderson. "And there's no down-time. You get done with a song and the drums tap off the next song and you start playing that."
Anderson says the band will also have to deal with marching in an unfamiliar space that is more narrow than a wide-open football field. Even though they're in New York, he says the band plans to play Sweet Caroline in honor of the Red Sox winning the World Series.
The Minutemen are expected appear on TV sometime around 11:24 this morning.

I have Stephanie Dray on again for an awesome guest post! I love both her books, Lily of the Nile (Review) and Song of the Nile (Review). In this post she writes about magical realism which I happen to love in her books. We'd like you to weigh in in the comments and you're entered to win Song of the Nile!
The way my heroine's spiritual beliefs manifest themselves in my novels about Cleopatra's daughter have been largely well-received. Written in the tradition of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon series, my work envisions a young messianic queen whose goddess communicates with her in bloody hieroglyphic messages that scroll down her arms.
The books have been blessed with great reviews and strong sales. (Here's where I knock on wood that the trend continues.) However, a few readers have reacted with horror to the appearance of magical realism in a story based on the true life of a historical queen like Cleopatra Selene. One reviewer even said that my publisher ought to be ashamed for allowing me to mix fantasy with historical women's fiction. I suppose the argument is that I've allowed fantasy to corrupt the pureness and sanctity of history.
Now, perhaps it's just my background as a student of law and government that informs my beliefs, but history has never seemed all that pure or sanctified to me. We know that history is written by the victors, for example. That is true whether the victory has been on the battlefield, in an election, or in the court of public opinion. The picture that comes down to us through history–especially ancient history–is largely incomplete. Documents have been lost. Motives are murky. (Heck, even with the benefit of a 24-hour news cycle, few Americans can agree on the history that we're making right now!)
Consequently, I've always viewed history as an exercise and art in perspective. It's always a story shaped by both the beliefs of the people who lived it and the beliefs of those reading about it now. A historical world, in my opinion, has a great deal in common with a fantasy world. It is just as foreign to us, and just as mystical, even with the aid of scholars.
I chose to include a touch of fantasy in my historical fiction for a few reasons. The first is that Selene's story of survival and triumph is so unlikely, that it almost seemed to require magic as an explanation. Moreover, when writing about a deeply religious ancient queen, it seemed like a natural choice to adopt the world view of the people she came from.
In the ancient world, there were certainly cynics, but by and large, the people believed deeply in supernatural phenomenon. This is especially so for the Romans, who believed they could read the will of the gods in the flight of birds or from the entrails of dead animals. Magic was a real part of their lives. It played a big part in their politics. (Just a few years after my heroine's death, the imperial family would fall into a kind of civil war after accusations that Germanicus was killed by witchcraft.) Magical realism was a way of lending authenticity to the novel.
In most respects, the story of Song of the Nile, which follows Cleopatra Selene's life as a young queen, striving to make a place for herself in a Roman world, hues very close to actual historical events. There is also, however, a stronger surge of magical power in this book–magic that derives from the divine feminine and Selene's goddess worship–power that she uses to survive and thrive. Of course, I'm not going to say that including magical realism in historical fiction was an easy task. Trying to weave together all the intricacies of actual history with the magic that I invented made me pull my hair out more than once. But I think the result has been a story that engages the spirit and the mind.
I'm certainly not the only author to do it, but sometimes historical fantasy seems to be the white elephant in the room that nobody talks about. Philippa Gregory toys with it in The White Queen & The Red Queen as well as her first novel, Wideacre. Judith Tarr uses it to great effect in the Throne of Isis. Margaret George certainly seems to "go there" in Mary, Called Magdalene. More interesting, perhaps, is the trend in the fantasy genre to start incorporating history. I was very impressed by Maria Davahna Headley's Queen of Kings, which is a story that envisions Cleopatra as a kind of ancient vampire.
So what are your thoughts on the matter? Does historical fiction and fantasy mix or should these streams never be crossed? Are there shades of magical realism in historical fiction that you enjoy?
Sorceress. Seductress. Schemer. Cleopatra's daughter has become the emperor's most unlikely apprentice and the one woman who can destroy his empire…

Utah's Sagebrush Rebellion capital mellows as animal-lovers and enviros move in
Kanab, Utah
On a crisp June morning in the heart of Sagebrush Rebel country, a steady stream of rental cars, minivans and SUVs flows north from Kanab on Highway 89, heading toward the serene, red-rock walls of Angel Canyon. As the highway curves, the landscape flickers through sun and shadows, the sandstone glowing like embers in a fire. Beyond the sagebrush and juniper, a sublime yet unnerving desert of sand dunes sparsely dotted with yucca plants extends to the west.
These tourist vehicles resemble the ones heading for the nearby spectacular national parks -- Zion and Bryce -- and sinuous Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The traffic could be seen as part of the boom that southern Utah was promised in 1996, when President Bill Clinton designated a big slice of federal land near here as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, over the fierce objections of many locals.
But the throngs coming to Angel Canyon are neither intent on outdoor recreation nor here to protest federal land management. They've come to see puppies and other furry critters at the Best Friends Animal Society. At any given moment, Best Friends has roughly 1,700 dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, horses and other animals recuperating from abuse on its 3,800 acres of scenic private land, which has also served as the backdrop for many Western movies. Families, retired couples and all sorts of animal aficionados pack into the group's vans for guided tours that offer a chance to visit the Angel's Rest pet cemetery and a gift shop and enjoy a vegetarian lunch.
On the tour -- which takes me from Piggy Paradise to the Bunny House -- Barbara Williamson, a spokeswoman for the group, explains that what started in 1984 as a small ragtag hippie commune dedicated to protecting abandoned and sick pets has blossomed into one of the largest and best-known animal-welfare groups in the world. Like just about everyone I encounter at Best Friends, Williamson speaks with a zeal that invites comparisons with that of the region's dominant Mormon population. After discovering Best Friends, Williamson says, she just "had" to come work here in 2002, giving up her previous life as an Arizona university media handler. She now lives in nearby Kanab, with 15 cats. Other staff and volunteers share their past lives -- California bartender; 911 highway-patrol dispatcher; Boulder, Colo., chef; rocket scientist -- and describe how they were drawn here to help make Angel Canyon the country's largest "no-kill" animal shelter. Best Friends even has its own TV show, DogTown, on the National Geographic Channel. The group has orchestrated massive cat and rabbit rescues in faraway places, and took in 22 pit bulls that NFL quarterback Michael Vick used for illegal dogfighting.
Much as many locals saw the national monument as a power grab by distant environmentalists and a Democratic president, at first "the local people thought we were crazy," says Cyrus Mejia, one of Best Friends' founders. This is a conservative rural community, after all. In Kane County, of which Kanab is the seat, many of the 6,600 residents can trace their lineage back to the Mormon pioneers who settled the region in the 19th century. Republicans outnumber Democrats by more than six to one.
Most of the initial hostility toward Best Friends has subsided; the group has done a lot of local networking and in the process increased its annual revenue to $40 million. In 2009, more than 32,000 supporters made the pilgrimage to visit and volunteer at the sanctuary, providing a significant boost to the local economy. The nonprofit now employs nearly 400 people at its headquarters; almost one out of 10 locals works for it.
There's no obvious connection between Best Friends' success and the controversial 1.9-million-acre national monument. Mejia attributes the group's expansion to its trailblazing no-kill population-control policies, which are now practiced by many other animal-welfare groups. Best Friends shies away from anything remotely political, and Williamson says founders, staff and volunteers are spread across the spectrum in their personal backgrounds and politics.
But at the least, serendipity is at work in this desert. Even though Utah -- and especially Kane County -- continue to earn a reputation as leaders of the Interior West's anti-federal Sagebrush Rebellion, the community is changing. The local animal-welfare crowd dovetails neatly with a growing number of wilderness lovers and others who have moved here largely to enjoy southern Utah's public lands. Today, Kanab's main drag includes Laid Back Larry's vegetarian market. New restaurants and other small businesses cater to backpackers and Best Friends volunteers. A progressive minority has emerged as a force in Kane County, questioning local politicians' traditional hard-line stands and anti-federal bombast.
Kane County's signature rebellion -- a nearly decade-long legal battle over all-terrain-vehicle access to backcountry roads and trails in and around the monument -- might even be losing intensity.
"There's a lot of parallel motion," says Rich Csenge, who, with his wife, moved here from Maine five years ago to be close to Grand Staircase-Escalante. A wood-furniture craftsman, he started the Amazing Earthfest in 2006. It's an annual celebration of this area's public lands and natural and cultural history. About 1,100 people attended last year's Earthfest, which featured an interpretive dance held at Best Friends called "Invocation to Sustainability" as well as an ATV ride along a historic trail. Csenge -- who serves on the board of directors of Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners, the nonprofit that advocates for the monument -- avoids speaking out on political issues, but he sees the festival as his "community service" to reduce polarization.
Robert Houston is a Mormon who, with his family, runs Houston's Trail's End Restaurant -- "where the waitresses wear 'guns on their hips, and smiles on their lips,' " according to the restaurant's website. A former county commissioner, he has lived in the area since 1960. He considers himself conservative, but he's also looking to reduce polarization. He believes in the need for moderate local leadership that knows when it's time to "bend."
It's too soon to say that southern Utah's bitter culture wars -- Old West versus New West, Sagebrush Rebels versus Enviro Warriors and Puppy Savers -- are over. But a kind of détente appears to be emerging.

The Brumbies recorded a 23-6 win over the 'Tahs on Saturday in a victory that moves them nine points clear in the Australian conference.
The Brumbies recorded a 23-6 victory over the 'Tahs on Saturday in a win that moves them nine points clear at the top of the Australian conference.
It was far from a classic in Canberra as the in-form hosts put in a professional performance to cruise into a well-earned bye week on 35 points.
Their tries came at the perfect time in the game and ultimately proved the difference as Henry Speight's score on half-time and Andrew Smith's five minutes after the interval did the damage.
Micheal Foley's side, who face the Bulls at home next Friday, could only trouble the scorers via the boot of number nine Brendan McKibbin due to a fine Brumbies defence that was rarely breached.
The Brumbies entered the game on the back of good performances in South Africa, most recently claiming a bonus-point win against the Lions. Meanwhile the Waratahs fell to the Crusaders last week and have been struggling for line-breaking threats due to the continued absence of Drew Mitchell, Lachie Turner and also Rob Horne.
They may now have to add Wallaby hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau to their unavailable players after the powerful front-row left the field before the break after taking some heavy knocks.
Action in Canberra was, as mentioned, not high in the entertainment stakes and as the half-time siren sounded there were only two penalties apiece on the board by fly-half Christian Lealiifano and 'Tahs man McKibbin. But on that siren came a moment of brilliance from winger Speight, who ghosted through two tacklers on the right to make it 13-6 at the interval.
Following a half-time talking to from Jake White, the Brumbies continued in the second period from where they left off in the first as patient phase play led to outside centre Smith crashing over. Lealiifano's extras moved the Brumbies up to a 20-6 lead on 45 minutes.
Only Lealiifano's penalty on 72 minutes troubled the scorers until the final whistle though, as the Brumbies' defence shut up shop to keep the Waratahs' limited running threats quiet.
The scorers:
For Brumbies:
Tries: Speight, Smith
Con: Lealiifano 2
Pen: Lealiifano 3
For Waratahs:
Pen: McKibbin 2
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Fotu Auelua, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Ben Mowen (c), 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Peter Kimlin, 19 Ita Vaea, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Tevita Kuridrani.

Michael Wood, historian and broadcaster, presenter of Vikings Live from the British Museum
Hotfoot back from Shanghai where I am filming The Story of China, and now very excited about tomorrow night at the British Museum! We had a production meeting yesterday going through the script and suddenly the spine-tingling 'liveness' of it all felt very immediate. Vikings Live is now really coming together, with a series of very exciting scenes and a team of terrific contributors. Gareth, the exhibition curator, will even be sweltering in full Viking war-gear to explain the ethos of a warrior society. A string of inspiring experts will be your guides through the glitter and violence of the age, led by everybody's favourite museum director / magician, Neil MacGregor, who has now turned his hand to A History of the Viking World in a Thousand Objects!
The British Museum has gathered some really amazing things together for this thrilling exhibition about the turbulent and spacious Viking epoch that extended roughly from the 750s to around 1100. Tomorrow night the cinema audience will be getting privileged close-up access to some wonderful artefacts: designer sword blades, fabulous gold torcs (neck-rings), looted treasure and a jaw-dropping display of headless skeletons of Vikings executed near Weymouth during the disastrous reign of Ethelred the Unready (979–1016) when the Danes conquered England.
An intimate detail? The piece that caught my eye (and I'll be talking to Gareth about it tomorrow night) is a severed skull with filed teeth that were once coloured. An Arab account of Vikings on the Caspian Sea describes them tattooed and even wearing make-up – the men as well as the women. With their bling and braided hair they were definitely making a statement: Pirates of the Caribbean goes Viking?
At the heart of the exhibition is the wreck of the longest Viking ship ever found – sunk in Roskilde in around 1025, it was discovered in 1996. Only the lower part of the original boat survives, but the elegant curving steel frame over 120-feet long is a staggering sight, which will be explored with dramatic crane shots tomorrow night. Clinker-built, slim and very flexible, such ships travelled west to Greenland, south to Morocco and east to the Caspian Sea: there are even Viking graffiti on the Church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Going further west, there was even a permanent Viking settlement in Newfoundland, and for all we know, some inquisitive summer voyager coasted down the shores of New England. Our own pirate explorers like Sir Francis Drake and Martin Frobisher would certainly have seen them as kindred spirits.
And what about the Vikings themselves? As you'll see tomorrow night they had a very dark sense of humour – but they also had a very down-to-earth view of life which reminds me a lot of the kind of humour you can still hear in the Yorkshire Dales or the Cumbrian Fells: and not all of it in jest… Take these sample Viking 'thoughts for the day' from the famous wisdom text, the Havamal:
Don't trust a blade until you have tested it in battle.
Don't trust ice until you have walked across it
Don't trust your wife until you've buried her….
No new men there then!
So there you are: courageous practical, realistic, cruel, curious – the Viking spirit took them across the western world between 750s and the late 11th century. That amazing age is our subject tomorrow night – experts and enthusiasts all. Speaking personally, I must say I am looking forward very much to presenting Vikings Live with Bettany Hughes, who I have known for years, but it's the first time we have done an event together. What a time!

Yeah, but that's the 3/8". The half inch is $119. Regardless, if people want to find much cheaper ways of doing things, it's good to know about them and how to get them done. No need for drive-by snipes and asshole comments.
I recently looked at discount steel.com and a 14x16x1/2 A36 steel was $44 and weighed 31lbs, sounds like a good deal without the shipping and sandblasting.
Find a local Airgas and ask for a local supplier. I just talked to another person on Reddit who followed my advice and got even a better deal. Although, he lives in Texas. Probably cheaper there than in California.
tI didn't use Airgas, but thanks to your post I found a machine shop and got this one for $36.86 including sandblasting and tax. Thanks for the tip, it sure was a heck of a lot cheaper than $119 for the equivalent from BakingSteel.
I'm based in Shanghai, and its difficult to get A36 steel.After speaking with the local fabricators, i managed to get a Q235 (also known as A3) steel sheet.Would this work as well and is there any risk to health?Link below is the composition of it.http://www.steel-grades.com/Steel-grades/Structure-steel/q235.htmlThe fabricators were great though, they rounded the edges of the sheet so there's less likelihood of cutting oneself. Now I just need to confirm the steel is usable.

Industrial Organization of Markets with Two-Sided Platforms

Many diverse industries are populated by businesses that operate two-sided platforms. These businesses serve distinct groups of customers who need each other in some way, and the core business of the two-sided platform is to provide a common (real or virtual) meeting place and to facilitate interactions between members of the two distinct customer groups. Platforms play an important role throughout the economy by minimizing transactions costs between entities that can benefit from getting together. In these businesses, pricing and other strategies are strongly affected by the indirect network effects between the two sides of the platform. As a matter of theory, for example, profit-maximizing prices may entail below-cost pricing to one set of customers over the long run and, as a matter of fact, many two-sided platforms charge one side prices that are below marginal cost and are in some cases negative. These and other aspects of two-sided platforms affect almost all aspects of antitrust analysis - from market definition, to the analysis of cartels, single-firm conduct, and efficiencies. This paper provides a brief introduction to the economics of two-sided platforms and the implications for antitrust analysis.

About biographical information
Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

The dinner menu typically features 12 entrées, half of them vegetarian. Of these, 3 or 4 can usually be made without eggs, dairy, and gluten. I've visited twice, and each time the server has bee able to provide information about ingredients and preparation methods. Pepperclub serves wine and beer, with an emphasis on Maine producers, though several St. Peter's gluten-free beers are available.
We stopped in for dinner on a recent Saturday night, and took advantage of Pepperclub's prix fixe special. My first course was a rich, lightly salty carrot-peanut-cilantro soup. It was simple but delicious; I want to try making it in the fall with some of my CSA carrots. Behind the soup you can see some rice crackers that our thoughtful server brought for me in place of bread and butter.
A simple green salad with a sweet citrus vinaigrette followed the soup. I didn't even have to remind them to hold the croutons.We chose two gluten-free vegan entrées, planning to share. The mushroom loaf with gravy and puréed root vegetables was pure comfort food.
It would have been more appropriate to a cold night in November, but I loved every bite. It was tender but not mushy, with rich flavors of mushroom, red wine, and sweet potato. And who would have thought an orange slice belonged on that plate? It was perfect!
The coconut tempeh stir-fry, on the other hand, was ill-conceived. You can't just slice up cold tempeh, throw it in a recipe in place of chicken, and expect it to taste good. This tempeh was dense and dry; I wondered if it had even been marinated. The vegetables were done right, cooked just long enough to retain some crunch, but the coconut sauce was too heavy. The lime slices make me suspect they were trying to go Thai here, but the dish was dry and the tempeh, having not received the requisite TLC, was sour and out of place. It's dishes like this that convince meat-eaters and new vegetarians that they don't like tempeh. Tofu, or even plain old cashews, would have been a better choice.After soup, salad, and loaf, I had barely a square inch left for dessert. But how could I pass up orange cake with chocolate mousse?
Oh my, that mousse. So dark. So creamy. Thick as freshly-churned butter, it coated my tongue and brought tears to my eyes. It made me wonder why I don't just give up on disappointing gluten-free cupcakes and make more pudding.The cake had a pleasantly sweet citrus flavor, but it was so dense and crumbly, I thought it had to be intentional—one of those polenta cakes I've heard so much about. Inquiry revealed that the texture was the result of using brown rice flour, and nothing else, in place of all-purpose. I was okay with it, but if you're used to eating gluten, order something else. Pepperclub's dessert menu varies, but a vegan chocolate cake and vegan cardamom cake are usually available. While a couple of the things we tried were disappointing, everything about our first visit to Pepperclub last November was incredible. I remember a spiced pumpkin curry with quinoa that was so simple, honest, and fresh, it had me wondering, again, why I hadn't thought of it before. I also remember a bottle of St. Peter's triple blonde ale...at least the beginning of it. Though it's not a a dedicated vegetarian restaurant, Pepperclub deserves four chickpeas. Even gluten-free vegans have choices here, and that's a rare treat.
