Richard Dawkins on a post-human rodent worldAugust 26th, 2009 | by Nick |
"A world without rodents would be a very different world. It is less likely to come to pass than a world dominated by rodents and free of people. If nuclear war destroys humanity and most of the rest of life, a good bet for survival in the short term, and for evolutionary ancestry in the long term, is rats. I have a post-Armageddon vision. We and all other large animals are gone. Rodents emerge as the ultimate post-human scavengers. They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo, digesting spilled larders, ghost supermarkets and human corpses and turning them into new generations of rats and mice, whose racing populations explode out of the cities and into the countryside. When all the relics of human profligacy are eaten, populations crash again, and the rodents turn on each other, and on the cockroaches scavenging with them. In a period of intense competition, short generations perhaps with radioactivity enhanced mutation-rates boost rapid evolution. With human ships and planes gone, islands become islands again, with local populations isolated save for occasional lucky raftings: ideal conditions for evolutionary divergence. Within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats.* Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge? Will rodent historians and scientists eventually organise careful archaeological digs (gnaws?) through the strata of our long-compacted cities, and reconstruct the peculiar and temporarily tragic circumstances that gave ratkind its big break?"
From The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins. It's a great read.
*Dougal Dixon long ago foresaw this, and he had the talent to paint it, in his imaginative book After Man: A Zoology of the Future."
After Man: A Zoology of the Future
Dixon he presents his hypothesis on how the fauna and geography could change 50 million years from now.
While there are a wide variety of creatures in After Man, many of these can fall into easily recognizable groups, e.g. rabbucks, gigantelopes, predator rats, etc. Some of the larger groups in the future include…
Rabbucks – Rabbucks are the future equivalent of deer and antelope but descended, as the name suggests, from rabbits. They live in almost any environment, and they mostly feed on grass. Their anatomy resembles that of a hooved mammals, though there are a few primitive hopping forms lurking around.
Gigantelope – The gigantelope take the niche in the future that was formerly held by elephants, giraffes, moose, and other large herbivores. Resembling the ancient sauropods, they are descended from antelopes, and range in a wide variety of forms. One subbranch have evolved into the large, moose-like herbivores of the north, the hornheads.
Predator Rats – The major group of predators in the future. Like our modern carnivorans, they exist on almost every continent and fill almost every carnivorous niche. They evovled, as the name suggests,from rats, and range in forms resembling polar bears, wolves, wolverines, cats, and even aquatic walrus-like forms.
Carnivorans – For the most part, Dixon assumes that carnivorans have either gone extinct, or have been forced into peripheral niches like the creodonts were in the Oligocene. A few still exist, such as the shurrack, and all but one, the striger, is descended from cats.

Marine Conservation Biology
The new science of Marine Conservation Biology aims to address the rapidly deteriorating state of marine life by applying science to marine conservation and was born following the First Symposium on Marine Conservation Biology held during the 1997 annual meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology.
Marine Conservation Biology, like Conservation Biology, is a multi-disciplinary approach to providing the data needed to prevent the loss of marine biodiversity. Data on the threats to the marine environment are urgently needed to inform policymakers and other stakeholders on the most critical problems that need to be addressed. The study of marine conservation biology facilitates the cross-pollination of a number of disciplines in marine science including marine biology, ecology, ichthyology, oceanography, biological oceanography, and others so that scientific data can be used to help solve problems effectively and sustainably.
The numerous challenges facing the oceans are complex. Fish stocks are declining at an alarming rate; many have already collapsed beyond repair.
The list of marine species listed as threatened or in danger of extinction grows longer every year. The world's coral reefs, home to the greatest biodiversity of marine fishes, are deteriorating due to destructive fishing practices and bleaching. Mercury levels in many commercially fished species are at an all time high. Dead zones and algae blooms are increasing in both size and number.
Without the scientific understanding and the data needed to demonstrate the magnitude of these problems, they will not be resolved. The science of marine conservation biology is greatly needed to prevent further destruction and to reverse the damage already done.
Global Marine Biological Diversity: A Strategy for Building Conservation into Decision Making
In 1989, the Center for Marine Conservation (now The Ocean Conservancy) joined a large group of international organizations in developing a Global Biodiversity Strategy (World Resources Institute et al. 1992). This companion volume, the work of 106 authors - marine biologists, oceanographers, economists, lawyers, government officials, environmentalists, and others - has been called the most comprehensive book on marine conservation. It presents, for the first time, basic principles of marine conservation for decision makers in governments, industries, and conservation organizations and for marine resource managers, students, and all others concerned with protecting our vital ocean resources.

After a week marred by a not-ready-for-prime-time staffer who had movement conservatives questioning Team Romney's competence, sanity, and willingness to fight the brass-knuckles White House and Chicago thug operatives, the Romney campaign made the right decision.
And the Right decision…
Paul Ryan is fresh, young, energetic, smart, courageous, and ready for prime time.
Paul Ryan is a policy wonk AND a front-line warrior whose budget and long-term entitlement reforms have the entire Dem-Soros-lapdog media machine unhinged…
Paul Ryan won't cut and run when the going gets tough.
Romney-Ryan are firmly offering to complete the Reagan Revolution by a) modernizing the social safety net so that it is fiscally sustainable and increases economic mobility and true economic security, and b) reforming the tax code so that it boosts economic growth and reduces crony capitalism. The 21st century would be the American Century, led by a growing, prosperous, confident nation whose government enables the private sector to innovate rather than crowding it out. The American Experiment would be revitalized, fueled by the spirit of democratic capitalism.
As Ryan said earlier today when announced as Romney's pick, "We can turn this thing around. We can."
Ryan refutes the Democratic Party's bogus arguments. He knows that our domestic spending trajectory is unsustainable and that liberals who fail to get it under control are leading their constituents over a cliff, just like in Europe. Eventually, you can't borrow enough money to make good on your promises, and everyone's screwed. Ryan understands that the longer we ignore the debt crisis and postpone serious budget cuts—the liberal equivalent of denying global warming—the more painful the reckoning will be. There's nothing compassionate about that kind of irresponsibility…
Screw the polls. Republicans will be on the right side of the spending debate. They'll be on the right side of the substance debate, too. Instead of bickering about Romney's tax returns and repeating the obvious but unhelpful observation that the unemployment rate sucks, we'll actually have to debate serious problems and solutions. That's great for the country…
It speaks enormously well for Romney that he made this choice. It tells me he'd run the country the same way he ran Massachusetts: as a prudent, numbers-oriented businessman.
Romney's decision to tap Ryan, the idea man of the Republican Party, is a challenge to President Obama.
In 2008, the central component of Obama's meteoric rise was that politics had become too cynical and small, and that it was important to have a more substantive debate on the pressing issues facing the nation. His appeal to independents was rooted in this very idea. In the current campaign, Obama has decided that in the face of a weak economy and tepid approval ratings, his path to victory rests on destroying Romney. But with the Ryan pick, Obama has been given a chance to have a substantive debate. After all, it was Obama that helped elevate Ryan in January 2010, when he picked him out of the crowd to acknowledge the congressman had produced a "serious proposal" to address entitlements, even though he disagreed with it.
Ryan is effectively holding a mirror up to Obama.
It is true that Democrats are licking their chops. And that they will claim a vote for them is a vote to save Medicare. But that's misguided.
Put another way: Because Obamacare already messes with entitlements, there is greater urgency for reforming the entitlement system. That is, Obama and Biden are the ones who touched entitlements, and Romney and Ryan are coming in to fix them…
Romney has been hinting at this message for some time: Under the presidency of Barack Obama, the United States has fallen into decline. The entitlement problem hasn't just remained the same; the problems have been exacerbated.
The country needs real changes to restore American greatness. A vote for Obama-Biden is a vote for unsustainability. A vote for Romney-Ryan is a vote for change, and therefore hope that America's best days are ahead. Or, we might say, Team Romney is all about hope and change — a campaign theme that is known to work rather well!
Ryan will help Romney govern. If the Republican ticket triumphs in November, having Ryan on-side will help Romney, a non-Washingtonian, navigate the complexities of Capitol Hill. But here it's important to keep in mind that Ryan is an ideologue and a Beltway wheeler-dealer, attuned to both the possibilities for bipartisanship (recall that his latest Medicare proposal is co-sponsored with a Senate Democrat) and the need to sometimes swallow hard and take one for the team (hence those Bush-era votes for TARP and Medicare Part D). Thus if Romney wants to push an aggressive agenda in his first hundred days or year in office, Ryan will be a natural point person — but if the Romney White House then needs to compromise well short of conservative objectives, Ryan will be capable of negotiating the deal and ready and willing to sell it to a reluctant base. What's more, having Ryan as a loyal administration foot soldier (whose own presidential ambitions are bound up in Romney's success) will prevent the Wisconsin congressman from setting up a rival center of power within the party, or becoming a locus of conservative dissent. Some conservatives may think that the Ryan choice brought Romney permanently on-side for their ambitions. But it's also possible that the choice will ultimately be remembered as the moment when Romney co-opted conservatives instead.
"Going big has risks, but fewer than going small," a top Romney adviser told POLITICO early Saturday, after news of the decision broke. "Now this is a race about what the future's going to look like. … This was all Mitt's decision. These are two guys who love data, and have a similar way of looking at the world. … Mitt isn't thinking about Ohio or the Hispanic vote. He's thinking: 'I'm gonna be president. Who's going to help me succeed?'"…
Perhaps so, but Romney and his aides have a lot of questions to answer: If being ready to govern on Day One was the chief criteria, how did Romney, who has scant foreign policy and national security experience himself, overcome the objection that his vice president would have even less? If the basis of Romney's campaign is that he is a business-minded Washington outsider, what attracted him to someone like Ryan, who has been in Washington since his twenties and has no business or executive experience?
One Obama backer privately said — not the least bit in jest — that the campaign could now siphon off cash donations for margarita machines, because there was so much to celebrate between now and Election Day.
Another Democratic operative declared the election effectively over — that Ryan was the self-hammered nail in Romney's own coffin.
"They chose a candidate who is 42, but looks 22, and is a professional Washington politician," said Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis, a top adviser to John Edwards' 2008 campaign and former chief of staff to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. "He helps Romney with not a single state, not a single demographic and he won't turn a single undecided vote around. He also destroys Romney's argument that professional Washington insiders and politicians aren't qualified to govern. He's a disastrous pick that proves the Romney and Republicans are stuck in some kind of time capsule where they think they can win elections by debating obscure conservative theory."
This probably improves Obama's chances of winning. The Ryan plan doesn't exactly have a great track record winning elections: It played a large role in the Republicans' defeat in a special election in upstate New York in early 2011. Romney's path to victory involves winning an outsized share of downscale white voters, and this plan presumably makes that task more difficult. Again, maybe the focus-group testing shows that opposition to the president is so strong among these voters that it just doesn't matter, but I don't think I'd bet the farm on this.
In fact, it opens up an Obama landslide scenario for the first time. I've always thought that Obama wouldn't be able to win more than a two-to-three-point re-election victory, mainly because a president almost never wins the votes of people who disapprove of the job that he is doing, and Obama's approval rating is unlikely to be much above 50 percent on Election Day. But, while I don't think it's guaranteed, this really does give Democrats an opportunity to make Romney so radioactive that people who don't like the president nevertheless vote for him. If the white working class revolts at the prospect of the Ryan plan, Obama really could match, or even exceed, his 2008 showing.
These types of picks rarely end well. When we think back on the "bold" or "unexpected" picks in history, they rarely have good outcomes.
Democrats will have to be smart. They should show respect for Ryan for being a serious guy, but then just explain to people, urgently but not over-heatedly, what he's proposed. It's just very hard to imagine that middle-of-the-road voters want harsh future cuts to Medicare, massive tax cuts for the rich, and huge reductions to domestic programs that most swing voters really don't hate. Does this choice work in Florida, with all those old people? If Romney just sacrificed Florida, he's lost the election already.
And why? To placate a party that doesn't even want him as its nominee anyway. It's psycho-weird. But at least it will carry the benefit, if this ticket loses, of keeping conservatives from griping that they lost because their ticket was too moderate. Conservatism will share — will own — this loss.
Is all that "daring"? Well, Thelma and Louise were "daring" too, but they ended up at the bottom of a canyon. If the Democrats handle this situation properly, that's where this ticket will end up too, and then the rest of us—the people who don't want federal policy to be based on Atlas Shrugged—can finally and fully press the case to the right that America is not behind you, and please grow up.
Romney has all but put a neon sign above his campaign headquarters saying, "We are terrified." There is no other reason for Mr. Play-it-Safe to take such a risk, unless the campaign was desperate. He clearly felt pressed to make a "bold" choice that would be a game changer, and he fell under the sway of the conservative intelligentsia who are in love with Ryan. In short: He got rolled. Conservatives persuaded him to choose their man, a choice that is great for the conservative movement and for Ryan, who will now be set up for a future presidential run, but terrible for Romney…
Ryan's boosters say he is a great pick because he excites the base. Who cares? Obama has more than taken care of that. Conservatives are voting for Romney not because they love him, but because they hate Obama. Romney's strongest appeal was that he is really a pretty moderate governor from Massachusetts who could appeal to swing voters who are unhappy with Obama. No more: Moderate voters in focus groups have been repelled by the Ryan plan.
Many pundits are claiming this choice is going to make the election about "big ideas." If only. Perhaps the political class will continue to argue about how to deal with the fiscal calamity that is our country, but the campaign will be fought mostly through vicious micro-targeted advertising, which hasn't generally been known for fostering rich debates among the electorate.
So long, Mitt. We hardly knew ye.

On the PHPLiveDocX.org site today there's a new article showing how to generate PDF files with the help of the Zend Framework.
Generating print-ready well-formatted PDF documents with PHP is not an easy task. Traditionally, there are two main approaches to PDF generation with PHP. Given sufficient time and patience, both partially get the job done, but still leave a lot to be desired: HTML-to-PDF and Programmatic (created via X and Y coordinates in a script).
As a third option, the article presents what could be a simpler method - creating templates in Microsoft Word and having PHP populate the data. How? With the help of their Zend_Service_LiveDocx_MailMerge component (still in incubation, coming to ZF 1.10). This allows you to assign values to placeholders in the document and push the result out to a file. Several different documentation templates and code samples are included in the post to get you started.

Love God and your country.
Death for the sake of freedom is more dignified than slavery. A coward man will die numerous times but a brave man will only die once...
A coward man is a slave. Slavery is slow and painful, its like dying numerous times. Which one would you choose, death or slavery. For me, I choose death...
If your a coward person you don't deserves God presence. Heaven belongs to the brave and the bold. Try reading the bible, from the scriptures to the revelations....
The only way to gain freedom is to have the slave master killed and extinct. They don't deserve a peaceful death, they might go to heaven. They don't deserve your nukes or any of your weapons. Instead force them to commit suicide so that they will go straight to hell. If the slave master is gone we will all be free and happy. Peace and justice will reign. Don't fear death, death is freedom. Fear what will happen if you go straight to hell. If your in hell, there is no coming back. Be brave and strong, God is watching...
The slave master, they are heretics and atheists. They deserve hell more than anyone. Have them extinct and unite the planet.
Freedom to the people and always have faith to the Almighty..
Thank you for your time and good day..
God is great....

May 30, 2012 20:14 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2012) - Lynden Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LVL) reports its third quarter 2012 results. Highlights for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 (the "Current Period"), compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 (the "Prior Period"), include:
Production for the Current Period totaled 136,392 boe (496 boe/d). Production for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled 51,799 boe (569 boe/d), an increase of 20% over production in the three months ended December 31, 2011. All of the production, and production growth, is attributable to the Wolfberry Project. The production mix, on a percent per boe basis, from the Wolfberry Project remains approximately 70% oil and 30% natural gas and associated products.
Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results
This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2012 and the notes thereto, together with the MD&A for the corresponding period, which are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All monetary references in this news release are to U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Results of Operations
The Company reported net earnings of $4,421,281 and total comprehensive income of $2,686,408 for the Current Period compared to a net loss of $3,853,603 and total comprehensive income of $420,683 for the Prior Period. The most significant component of the Current Period's net earnings were net revenue of $8,302,479.
Petroleum and Natural Gas ("P&NG") Revenue
The Company reported gross P&NG revenues of $10,759,857 (Prior Period - $2,833,118) for the Current Period, all from its Wolfberry Project wells. In conjunction with the revenues, the Company reported royalties paid of $2,457,378 (Prior Period - $628,120) and paid production and operating expenses of $1,143,857 (Prior Period - $275,855) for the Current Period. The Company also incurred $2,614,681 (Prior Period - $724,501) of depletion and depreciation for the Current Period. Average realized prices for the Current Period, were $93 per barrel ("Bbl") of oil and $7.91 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas, compared to $84 per Bbl of oil and $7.39 per Mcf of natural gas, for the Prior Period. The natural gas selling price is reflective of the thermal value of gas and associated products sold.
The Company also reported gross P&NG revenues of $4,229,831 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $3,393,035 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 ("Q2/2012"). In conjunction with the revenues, the Company reported royalties paid of $971,196 (Q2/2012 - $771,803) and paid production and operating expenses of $508,664 (Q2/2012 - $362,368) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Average realized prices for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $99 per Bbl of oil and $7.00 per Mcf of natural gas, compared to $91 per Bbl of oil and $8.13 per Mcf of natural gas, for Q2/2012.
Liquidity - Borrowing Base Increases
The Company has a $50 million reducing revolving line of credit with Texas Capital Bank. Effective March 31, 2012, the line of credit had a $16.0 million borrowing base of which $10.5 million was outstanding. The Company anticipates financing the majority of its Wolfberry Project capital expenditures through operating revenues and upward borrowing base revisions on the line of credit. In order for the Company to carry out the proposed development program on the Wolfberry Project it is anticipated that the Company will need to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or the sale of assets.
In mid-May, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement, raising gross proceeds of CDN$6.3 million.
The Company's working capital deficit has significantly increased over the past several quarters, however it is the Company's view that the value of its P&NG holdings is increasing at a rate significantly greater than the rate of increase of the working capital deficit. It is the Company's objective to sell portions of its proven acreage in order to manage its working capital position and to redeploy funds to its unproven acreage, where the Company believes it can achieve the best returns for shareholders.
Operations Highlights
The Wolfberry Project
The Company is currently carrying out a rapid oil and gas development program on its Wolfberry Project, where the Company now has 32 gross (13.56 net) wells tied-in and producing. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, a total of 9 gross (3.86 net) new wells were tied into production. At March 31, 2012, the Company had 1 gross (0.31 net) well spud or drilled awaiting completion and/or tie-in.
The Company is continuing with its aggressive Wolfberry Project development plan which calls for the drilling of 31 gross (12.97 net) Wolfberry wells in calendar 2012, of which 6 gross (2.49 net) wells were drilled or spud at March 31, 2012. The Company's current plans call for the spudding of an additional 25 gross (10.48 net) wells from April 1 to December 31, 2012. The Company's funding amount on the 10.48 net wells is equivalent to 11.98 wells. The gross cost of a Wolfberry well is currently approximately $2.1 million. The Company's capital budget is subject to change depending upon a number of factors, including economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and gas, the availability of sufficient capital resources for drilling prospects, the Company's financial results and the availability of lease extensions and renewals on reasonable terms.
The Company anticipates significant increases in daily production volumes as development of the Wolfberry Project continues. The Company is targeting a December 31, 2012 net production exit rate, after royalties, of approximately 900 - 1,000 boe/day. This guidance is forward-looking information that is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control.
Mitchell Ranch Project
The Company's Mitchell Ranch project covers approximately 103,400 acres of P&NG leases located primarily in Mitchell County, West Texas where the Company has a 50% working interest in approximately 68,400 acres, and a 1.25% overriding royalty interest on approximately 35,000 acres subject to a term assignment with a large, independent exploration and production company.
The Company currently has one (0.5 net) producing well, the Spade 17#1, where several rounds of completions have been carried out. During the Current Period, the Company received $234,123 of net revenue from sales from the Spade 17#1 well. The Mitchell Ranch Project is in the exploration and evaluation stage and as such, the net revenues have been credited to capitalized costs. The Spade 17#1 well has now produced approximately 9,500 barrels of oil from the most recently completed Lower Wolfcamp interval alone, an average of approximately 26 barrels of oil per day in a year of production.
The Company had anticipated that two new wells would be spud, in the vicinity of the Spade 17#1, in the summer of 2012 to further test zones of interest near the Spade 17#1. As a result of significant new drilling activity in the general area around the Mitchell Ranch Project, the timing of the new vertical wells has been pushed out in order to best incorporate the results of other operators into the development plan on the Mitchell Ranch Project.
In addition, the Company is actively monitoring an ongoing multi-well vertical / horizontal drill program being undertaken on the term assignment acreage.
About Lynden
Lynden Energy Corp. is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing petroleum and natural gas rights and properties.

Colin Watt, President and CEO
NI 51-101 requires that we make the following disclosure: we use oil equivalents (boe) to express quantities of natural gas and crude oil in a common unit. A conversion ratio of 6 mcf of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil is used. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS DISCLAIMER: This news release contains forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered accurate at the time of preparation, may prove incorrect, and the actual results may vary materially from the statements made herein. Expectations of spudding 31 gross (12.97 net) Wolfberry Project wells in 2012, and expected timelines relating to oil and gas operations are subject to the customary risks of the oil and gas industry, and are subject to the company having sufficient cash to fund the drilling and completion of these wells. Expectations of obtaining upward borrowing base revisions on the line of credit are subject to the customary risks of the oil and gas industry, and are subject to drilling and completing successful wells, and prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and gas. Achieving a December 31, 2012 net production exit rate, after royalties, of approximately 900 - 1,000 boe/day, is subject to the customary risks of the oil and gas industry and is subject to the Company drilling and completing successful wells.

This blog is dedicated to providing updates on the New York Islanders arena situation.
January 15, 2012
A 14,500 Seat Arena May Just Be The Right Size For The Islanders
For the fans that would mean higher ticket prices in Brooklyn if the team is winning, since the demand would be high. However, I believe many fans would accept that to keep the Islanders in New York and better yet to see them be competitive again.

islanders will move to Quebec City in one day.ReplyDelete
I agree that Quebec wants a team and so does Seattle. I have articles about both possibilities, but I can see the league wanting to keep the Isles in NY if they can. Plus if the Coyotes don't get an owner soon they will be the next team to relocate and most likely to Quebec.ReplyDelete
We already seen the league allow a team move to a similar size arena when there weren't any other options when the Thrashers became the Jets. If the Isles have no other local options by the time the lease is up the league won't have another choice if they want to keep the team in the NY market.Plus we will figure out a lot more after next years preseason game in Brooklyn.
I see where youre coming from with this.ReplyDelete
But the thing is- with such a small arena, as the team does better and attendance rises, if there are no more seats to sell then the only thing they will be able to do is inflate the cost of tickets to prices where many of us will no longer be able to afford to go to Islanders games. That would suck.
Yes the fans are the ones that would have to pay more in the end. The way I look at it is no matter where the team is playing ticket prices would go up if the team is winning. This post looked at the issue more from an ownership position and how it could benefit them financially having a smaller arena and if the team would fit. In order to get this team winning again it needs financial stability where the owner can make money to put back into the team, which I can't remember the last time the Islanders had that.
Your above display of attendance is VERY deceiving because you are missing very important variables. First of all, the Nassau Coliseum had 14,997 SEATS for hockey until the 81-82 season. This means in three of those early seasons, they had STANDING ROOM crowds (the top few rows didn't yet exist). Yes, they literally gave away more than the building could hold.ReplyDelete
I can tell that you do not remember the days, where you, as the cliche goes, "couldn't get a ticket", but I can attest that those days did exist. The Islanders would have had attendance figures averaging in the 16,000's in those three years and in the Cup years, had there been the seats to sell. They didn't exist. (The NVMC was under 16,000 before Wang bought and added even more seating).
Therefore, this argument for the Brooklyn arena really is an example of trying to mold an argument to fulfill a wish. It would be better, from an Islander fan's perspective, than Quebec, but making paper-thin arguments for it's viability is silly.
I thought that it became 16,234 seats after they added new seats and suits in the early 80's. I would love for the team to stay in Nassau in a new or renovated Coliseum, but things aren't looking great on that front. I think in order for Mangano's plan of an RFQ and getting privately developed to work the zoning needs to be increased. With that said I'll take any option that keeps them in NY.
Before the dynasty the team nearly went bankrupt and folded, which the Rangers were hoping for, so they could get their hands on Bossy and Potvin. However, John Pickett went from minority owner to majority owner and paid the rest of the territorial fee in order to prevent that from happening in 78 or 79. The only time the Islanders were financially stable in Nassau County was during the Dynasty Era. A team shouldn't have to win the cup every year to make a profit and survive. With that said I hope that the team does find a solution that gives them financial stability in Nassau, but I have a hard time seeing it happening.ReplyDelete
Jon I don't remember those years, since I was born in 1985. I wish I was there to enjoy the experience and I hope that I at least get to enjoy one in my lifetime. In order for that to happen the Islanders need to settle this arena situation and the only option that isn't pie in the sky at this time is Brooklyn.Replies
Danbury, The Islanders, had it not been for Pickett getting fleeced by Hyatt/SMG and the county in 1985, would have stayed among the top 3 teams in earnings for a very long time with their cable deal. As it was, the Islanders were in the top 5 until the early 90's, when other franchises (especially in the U.S.) started to diversify their revenue streams, which the Islanders under their lease could not do (and the Islanders started to beome a losing team for many years, too).Delete
I'm sorry Danbury, but waiting to see if the NYI go to Brooklyn is a losing stance in my opinion. Too many confluent factors against it happening. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but, as I said in another post here, I would urge you to take a different, more pro-active tack in your usage of your blog.
Assume the worst, for you see the men with whom were stuck with running things, both in the NHL and in local (Nassau)government. Then, go after them and start petitions, document correspondence, email NY Congressmen, Senators, Nassau County Executives and other Nassau cronies/politicians, and you will actually be one of the few doing anything to help fix the problem.
I agreed that the lease Picket signed in 1985 giving away all of the teams revenue stream is the key reason for the Islanders struggles the face today. That lease is the worse in sports history plain and simple. Picket saved the team in the late 70's only to ruin it by the late 80's.Delete
Sorry, I'll shut up after this. I believe for many years, the NYI had anywhere between 11,500 and 13,500 SEASON TICKETS sold out. So my estimate of an average of 16000 a night might actuallt be very conservative. They may have been able to consistently fill up the Bell Center in their heyday.ReplyDelete
My father had to wait to take me to games for my mother's colleague (whom was an M.D.) to give us a pair of tickets, otherwise, it was a no-go. Look at tapes of games from the dynasty era, and you see many of the same faces in the 100's and 200's at all of the games.Replies
It amazing how we have fallen from grace and only have 4,000 full season ticket holders and 7,000 if you factor in partial plans.Delete
Yes, but there is actually yet another side to this coin. In 2002 and 2003, and after years of being beaten down, all that was really needed to bring back an average in the high 14,000's-15,000 was the infusion of real effort to build a winner and hope that there could possibly be one. They didn't even need to build the friggin' winner!! They just needed a sniff - a long shot - to bring this fanbase back. That is the astounding part. If there was ever a winner here again (once again, if and buts mean nothing, and there probably won't be), they would sell out the building in no time flat. I'm convinced of that, even after all of this time as a mickey mouse organization.Delete
A winner can draw anywhere no doubt about that.Delete
The Cablevision Rangers have ads for individual tickets all over their website and despite the phony announced sellouts have had problems filling their seats for generations also.ReplyDelete
It's hockey, in baseball's town with no media. Weeknight hockey is a huge problem in this market, even harder today with prices and Dolan in total charge of television market plus the media does not need hockey.
Newark funded most of an arena for the Devils, they cannot fill it at playoff time even after buying Kovalchuk.
All three teams are bleeding cash, Cablevision will take the hit.
As for Charles Wang, he owns the Marriott and spent 90m for it so why is he moving away from the hotel he bought out Rechler to control so he can be a tenant and his hotel can lose business? Wang/Rechler also spent 17m on the sublease until 2015. Wang last summer bought the management rights to Webster Bank Arena and the Sound Tigers lease runs until 2021.
Wang gets the deal he got last summer where he is new Smg in exchange for rent/revenue he will likely take a renovation/new building. His hotel cannot be moved and it's his with a 40 foot walk of champions arena between the hotel and Coliseum.
As for Dolan his media department has a job, hide the Isles on television and in his newspaper or run them down to drive people away in the hope of getting back the cable money until 2030.
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Without a doubt Wang wants things to workout in Nassau and that he would take a renovated arena. However, the issue still is Nassau County and politics. The County and the town of Hempstead have prevented a resolution to this issue for three decades now and, Wang can't keep waiting for them to get there act together. Why would Wang move to Brooklyn even if he owns the Marriott.ReplyDelete
1) He has lost 250 million dollars at his current location
2)If he still interested in developing he can get in on the Atlantic Yard Development
3) Brooklyn as a market would offer more corporate support
4 Its better than leaving the market all together

A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.
Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they think the federal government's become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. Forty-four percent of those polled disagree.
The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans.
According to CNN poll numbers released Sunday, Americans overwhelmingly think that the U.S. government is broken – though the public overwhelmingly holds out hope that what's broken can be fixed.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted February 12-15, with 1,023 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the overall survey.

Pockets of fans in St. Louis and New York are understandably upset after Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes sold their legacies and moved them out of town as mercenaries.
Pujols thought $220 million over ten years, his developmental years in St. Louis along with his businesses and foundation weren't enough, so he took $30 million more and shuffled off to Los Angeles.
Reyes could have had close to $100 million from the Mets – which included incentives – but in the end took roughly $6 million more to move to Miami.
In the end, reports from Pujols supporters and Reyes himself, were that they weren't "loved" enough by their former teams so they went with the money.
I never expected Reyes to stay. I always believed he'd go to who flashed the most bling. However, I thought Pujols might have been one of the rare few to spend his entire career with one team.
Stan Musial did it and so did Mickey Mantle. So did Cal Ripken and Don Mattingly. They were thinking of a statute for Pujols in St. Louis. Not any more.
Who is to blame?
Actually, nobody.
As much as it would have been nice to think about Pujols staying home, in the end I was naive. It was something I wanted to believe in.
Pujols and Reyes; the Cardinals and Mets; the Angels and Marlins all made business decisions this week.
For Pujols and Reyes it was for the money. Pujols might also have the additional incentive of setting the career home run record with the aid of the designated hitter. Reyes sought the comfort of a guaranteed contract because of his house-of-card hamstrings.
The Angels are competing with the reeling Dodgers for the lion's marketing share of Los Angeles and now have star power for their television network. As an American League team, the Angels can offer Pujols the DH during the back end of his contract. Pujols is worth all that money to them.
As for the Marlins, they significantly upgraded not only with Reyes, but Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell, and should have a good product in their new stadium. They might not be good enough to catch the Phillies, but with the extra wild card, they have a chance at October.
For the Cardinals and Mets, they have $220 million and $100 million, respectively, to build with. The Cardinals always have been a smart organization and based in the average NL Central, they should be able to rebound and retool quickly.
For the financially strapped Mets, they couldn't afford to risk that kind of money on Reyes' brittle hamstrings. The Mets have holes and ownership is drowning in red ink. The last thing the Mets needed was to be on the hook for another brutal contract.
So, nobody is to blame. And, the winners? It seems as if all the players got something they wanted. That is, of course, except fans of Pujols and Reyes, but who is surprised by that?

Wikipedia simplifies article editing for world+dog
New visual editor invites unwashed masses into the Wikifold
Wikipedia is developing an easy-to-use visual editor to make it easier to
muck up emend, revise, and polish pages of "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit".
The new editor is currently available only in a decidedly beta and somewhat buggy sandbox version – which you're free to toy with to your heart's content – but it's clear that the Wikifolk are aiming at a simple, standard interface.
In the current sandbox, you can easily control layout items such as bulleted and numbered lists, along with text boldness, italics, and off-page linking. A variety of header styles are also offered, as are indentation options.
You can also toggle side-by-side views that present the page, along with your changes, in wikitext, HTML, or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). Keyboard shortcuts are also provided, as is a history listing.
The visual editor effort is apparently in response to Wikipedia's declining popularity among contributors and editors. As noted by The Economist, the number of active editors of the English Wikipedia peaked in 2007, but has declined steadily since then, with the greatest decline being among casual editors.
Wikipedia's page views, however, remain healthy, currently running at about 7.5 billion per month. It could be argued that active editors have declined because the site's coverage has become somewhat saturated, with fewer entries needing to be emended or polished since the halcyon days of 2007.
It also could be argued that making Wikipedia easier to edit may not be the wisest move, if clarity, correctness, and completeness are the Wikimedia Foundation's goal. Not that The Reg doesn't trust the unwashed masses (much), but the thought of making it brain-dead simple to change a Wikipedia entry gives us pause. After all, the mere fact that Wikipedia pages took a bit of thought to construct and edit was a barrier to the thoughtless.
Now the Wikimedia Foundation is lowering that barrier, and we'll discover whether easier-to-implement participation improves the quality of the content found on Wikipedia – which, even its critics must admit, is often solid – or whether a broader range of participation weakens the credibility and usefulness of "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit".
Call us elitists or call us Cassandras, but we'll keep a close eye on Wikipedia after the Foundation begins to integrate the easy-peasy editor into the site next June. ®

The day after Peter Marbach will be autographing his new book at Waucoma Bookstore, U.S. Reps. Greg Walden and Earl Blumenauer will be hosting two summit meetings in Hood River and Portland.
Each event — the signing of Marbach's "Mount Hood: The Heart of Oregon" and the representatives' summit meetings "A Legacy for Mt. Hood" — is the result of three years of research, collaboration with Mount Hood National Forest, and long, sometimes grueling hikes.
Both are intensely, you might even say obsessively focused on the same subject: Mount Hood.
But the thematic similarities of these two projects stray from each other at one point:
The summit meetings are about Mount Hood's future.
Marbach's 144-page photo essay on the state's tallest mountain is about its past and present.
And hopefully, Marbach says quietly, that will have a role in its future.
"I felt like the book could be a part of the process in some form," Marbach said in a Monday morning interview at his Hood River home. "I hope it's a reminder of what we all love about the mountain, that we need to protect the mountain and we need to do it in a way that is right."
Marbach, like Mount Adams photographer Darryl Lloyd, is a long-time advocate for wilderness protection on areas of Mount Hood.
Despite his passion for the 11,239-foot volcano, however, nothing in the book blares overt political opinion.
The pages feature photos of faraway wilderness areas and groomed ski slopes.
The 7,000-word essay by Hood River News reporter Janet Cook describes in an objective, descriptive tone, the history — both geologic and human — of Mount Hood.
In a subtle way, however, most images betray the photo author's objectivity. They show in 100 different ways how much he truly loves his subject.
"Early on in my career, what mattered most was getting published," he says. "Now what's important is getting photos published that matter."
You can see this philosophy on page 14 in Marbach's full-page photo of a Rhododendron bush blooming within a grove of old Douglas Firs.
And on page 83 in his idyllic image of the Timberline Trail.
His sunset picture of the Bull Run Reserve was "five hikes in the making," he says. "But it was important to get because the book needed the variety and I wanted to show people Bull Run."
The federal government has protected Bull Run since 1892 when President Benjamin Harrison established it as a reserve. Since then, the natural lake has become Oregon's single largest source of fresh water. Twenty-five percent of Oregonians receive their water from this reserve. And because of that importance and the heightened threat of terrorism, the state has forbidden the public to visit its water source — except by the occasional guided tour.
Marbach found his vantage point along the Pacific Crest Trail and he found his shot after a few previous attempts disappointed him, due to the dismal or flat lighting.
When asked to identify his favorite photograph in the book, Marbach decisively turns to page 36 and 37.
"This is without question my favorite," he says.
It's a two-page photo of Eliot Creek and Mount Hood, the top of which is buried in a pinkish cloud.
In the picture, Mount Hood is glowing in morning sunshine.
A few inches down the page, Eliot Creek, trapped in the mountain's shadow, wisps over black basalt boulders.
If a photographer merely aimed the camera at the same subjects, one of two results would occur:
The mountain would be lost in a sky of whiteness or the creek would be totally black.
To get the shot, Marbach had to find the balance between five f-stops using a slide of glass, half of which is darkened to compensate for the slow shutter speed.
The shot lasted 15 seconds, he says.
He called the image: "Morning has Broken." It has become a fine art poster.
"Mr. Marbach's photos show the beauty of Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge," said Geoff Stuckart, deputy state director for Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. "Anything that helps people understand the natural beauty of Mount Hood and the Gorge is also helpful to the effort to set aside and protect additional areas of wilderness."
Rep. Earl Blumeneauer had similar accolades: "After looking through 'Mount Hood: The Heart of Oregon,' I was reminded of the 41-mile hike that Greg and I took this summer around the mountain," he said. "Seeing these photos and reading the history really put the exclamation point on the plan that we are announcing this week to preserve the legacy of Mount Hood for many generations to come."
This third book by Marbach followed his two others: "Hood River Valley: Land of Plenty" and "Oregon Harvest."
And like most great books, it follows a winding path of passion, failure and mission.
Marbach, the 49-year-old son of a journalism professor and grandson of a medicine-educated lawyer, found photography fairly late in his life.
He was a stressed-out 35-year-old director of development at Maine's environmental school Unity College, when the dean suggested he take a class to relieve his mind.
At the time, Marbach was focused solely on the high-profile project of relocating the White House's abandoned solar panels to the small campus of Unity College. (He succeeded.)
Early on in his class, however, he discovered the point at which all his ambition, passion and mission converged.
"That became the motivation for going to work – going to class," he says.
In those two and-a-half years in Maine, Marbach's wife, Lorena, landed a job offer at La Clinica in Hood River.
Marbach was torn. In Maine, he lived 15 minutes from his mother. He had a stable, secure job. Familiar ground.
Hood River was where he could cultivate his new-found passion of photography, the couple decided.
"It was a tough decision," Marbach says. "But it's what got me here. Part of the deal was I'd get to pursue photos."
He began submitting photos to magazine editors, selling his first for the 1997 Sprint local phone book.
From phone calls with editors, he learned a Pentax Medium Format negative sells photos more effectively than a 35 millimeter negative.
So he switched.
To get published, he learned he'd have to be patient, persistent and flexible.
And then, in 1997, five years after his wife Lorena's new job at La Clinica brought them from Maine to Hood River, Marbach, then a struggling, inexperienced freelance photographer, won the bid to produce the commemorative poster for the Mount Hood Jazz Festival.
It was a prestigious project that established Marbach as a shooter in the area's bounty of talented landscape photographers.
One other event also propelled his career — and ultimately this book — though Marbach wouldn't call it a breakthrough.
A breakdown might be more accurate.
He was exploring a new vantage point to capture the Sandy River flowing out of Mount Hood in late June 2001 when he felt a flop in his chest.
Two days later, a surgeon had opened up his chest and with a triple-bypass surgery was working to repair his damaged heart.
Nine months later, Marbach was standing on Mount Hood's summit.
"Until I stood on the summit of Mount Hood I did not feel whole," he says.
And that, he says, was the beginning of this book.
"It's the most meaningful to me because of nearly dying and because of my connection to the mountain. The mountain is one of my greatest sources of joy."

Our sweet neighbor, Kathie, brought over "tie-dyed" cupcakes for the boys. Yum!
We adore our newest neighbors ~ they are the most thoughtful people!
We found a recipe for Elephant Toothpaste on Science Bob's website. We didn't have 6% hydrogen peroxide, but we decided to give it a try with regular 3%. The results aren't quite as amazing as 6%, but it's still fun!
Alex says that next time he wants to make Giraffe Toothpaste. Maybe we'll find some 6% peroxide and try that.
It's called "toothpaste" because it looks a bit like toothpaste coming out of the tube.
You certainly would NOT use this to brush your teeth!
The boys' favorite part was playing in the pan full of warm goop
after the "toothpaste" was out of the tube.
We've had some fun playdates with Gage & Grace! One day, Cindy & I did a kid swap. I took her kids for the morning while she cleaned her house, and then she took mine for the afternoon while I ran some errands.
At our house, the kids played with playdough and then played Mario Kart on the Wii.
At Cindy's house, the boys played with monster trucks and a Bob The Builder playset.
The girls played dolls together…and Jensyn even got to "BE" the doll ;)
We also met at the inflatables place for a morning full of fun. There were probably 12 kids in the whole place, including our 5 kids. It was nice!
Grace is in a "make a funny face for the camera" phase ;)
Jensyn ADORED this walking/step toy in the toddler play area.
Since she's just starting to walk on her own, she had a great time walking up and down, over and over and over…probably for about 30 minutes straight!
Jensyn also had to try out the big inflatables. She actually crawled halfway up one slide before giving up & letting herself slide down. I was impressed!
I took her up the biggest, steepest slide and let her ride down on my lap.
I think I'm too old for this stuff (ha!) but she had a lot of fun!

Isolated from the regular touristy clamour of Nainital, Pangot is a refreshing change for those who are looking for some serenity. The Kilbury Road from Nainital leads up to the alluring hills of Pangot from where a spectacular view of the Kumaon and Garhwal snow clad range and the valleys, foothills & parts of Corbett National Park emerges. As a young trekker from school, Siddarth always dreamt of an adventurous life in Pangot. After years, a persuasive Sid bought some land on top of a hill from a neighbouring farmer. After a modest beginning with some tents, This homestay now has rooms consisting of four comfortable âcottage styleâ suites. Each suite has a bedroom and bathroom, common sitting area as well as large outdoor patios. Each corner is tastefully set up to complement each other. In addition to the lodge there are three Mountain Log Cabins with attics and verandahs overlooking the forest, as well a few Safari Tents with attached baths.
The rooms and cabins are named after the birds found in the region and there is plenty of space to lie back, relax, and just enjoy the surroundings! Set amidst Oak, Rhododendron and Deodar forests, and overlooking the snow-clad Himalaya, this is an ideal getaway for those who wish to explore pristine mountain wilderness. There is a central glass walled dining room- The Mountain Chiffchaff, which houses a Bukhara (fireplace); a definite requirement for winters. Kumaoni meals are a must for visitors to get the palette acquainted with the local food. The brilliant food is an additional complimentary treat with the fantastic view from the Lodge. Adjoining the estate is a forest that is full of birds and wildlife and in spring this woodland is a mass of red as Rhododendron trees come into flower. Though Bernie and Jojo, the couple's two dogs pretty much reign the camp, owners can bring pets after discussion.

Pegasus Holdings just announced that its $1 billion dollar green tech ghost town has been put on hold due to a lack of land. The Center for Testing, Evaluation and Innovation — a city with no inhabitants — is designed to test new green technologies, however the plans are so large that the company has been unable to get enough land to build it. This is bad news for the local community of Hobbs, New Mexico, which was counting on the economic boost the ghost town would provide, but it could be good news for another region as the plans are still being developed and the developer is actively looking for a new site.
When we first reported on the plans to build a city that could house 35,000 folks but would only be used to test new technologies, many responded that the idea was a huge waste of resources. The project will allow engineers to push the limits of built environment technologies at scale — smart transportation, grid, energy, and even water technologies. Pegasus explained that the idea was to replicate the real world right down to the light switches and faucets and allows companies to install their new technologies to test without fear of failure leaving users stuck.
But the developer is the one stuck with a plan but no where to put it. The 20-square-mile location west of the small city of Hobbs that they settled on sounded promising, but they haven't been able to procure enough of the land. There certainly is plenty of raw land out there, and although the reason hasn't been reported, it seems likely that a land owner or two was holding out. While that site was the developer's first choice, there are 15 other communities who submitted proposals. While the final site has not been secured, Pegasus is still working on their plans and hopes to keep the monster project in New Mexico, where there are many research facilities and abundant land.

Hi guys-
I was watching the morning news a few days back (Fujisankei morning news in the US, to be exact), and they introduced another strange but interesting Japanese food phenomenon: morning curry!
Ever since it was broadcast in the media that Ichiro (the baseball player) ate curry rice for breakfast before big games, an increasing number of people have started to consume curry rice in the mornings. Here is another source that looks at this interesting fad: http://blog.benippon.com/2009/06/morning-curry-boom.html
I was assuming that everyone was eating curry rice from the night before, but that doesn't seem to be the case, either. People actually stop by curry restaurants on their way to work in the mornings, and curry companies like House sell curry packets at the grocery stores that are specifically "Asa-Curry" (asa, meaning morning) http://news.walkerplus.com/2009/0122/13/20090122224752_01_400.jpg
Why did everyone suddenly get into eating morning curry? Ichiro does play a huge role, but some people believe that the spice wakes them up in the morning. Thus, some businessmen prefer to eat curry rice on the mornings of big meetings. Moms also like to think that the spices in curry helps make their kids more alert, so morning curry is also eaten in households of jyukensei (students preparing for entrance exams).
One of the people being interviewed said he eats curry every morning because it is not too heavy (...really? it could depend on the brand), and because it has a lot of vegetables (onions and carrots and potatoes...which do not sound like a lot of vegetables, but it's probably more than the average person would have in the morning). But everyone has their own preferences.
I actually do eat curry in the mornings, but only when it's left over from the night before. Do you ever eat curry in the mornings? If you don't, would you think Ichiro, or any of those other reasons would be a good reason to start doing so? I'd love to hear back!
-Alissa (from http://umaimon.tumblr.com)
I must admit, like you I have eaten curry for breakfast if there are leftovers, but I always feel a bit guilty for doing so, especially if it's takeaway leftovers... I must say, I like something hot for breakfast in winter, and have been known to eat soup for breakfast. I don't know if I could bring myself to make curry from scratch in the morning though; I think it would send my internal clock haywire!
There is a lot to be said for having spices in a breakfast though. A spicy sausage is good to perk up your taste buds, and obviously the breakfast dish Kedgeree takes some cues from indian curry influences.
I love a bit of spice in the morning, when I have time. There are a number of spicy egg recipes which usually involve vast quantities of salsa and/or peppers that I love to make on the weekends.
I vaguely remember reading about some sort of fad diet from some years ago called the "reverse diet" or something, where the author recommended eating dinner for breakfast, normal lunch, then a small dinner (or even breakfast for dinner). The reasoning was that you should eat the bulk of your calories at the start of the day, rather than at the end before you go to sleep. It sort of makes sense to me, but of course the total amount of calories is what really counts.
An athlete like Ichiro can probably eat thousands of calories and stay fit anyway (I read somewhere that he is quite disciplined about keeping in shape, which accounts for his long career).
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
The reasoning was that you should eat the bulk of your calories at the start of the day, rather than at the end before you go to sleep. It sort of makes sense to me, but of course the total amount of calories is what really counts.
In my mum's home this is the usual. My mum prepares big breakfasts and small dinners. And it's nice because you'll sleep better :)
About curry in the morning... aw, well I usually take a coffee and toasted bread with tomato so, even though it's not the sweetest food in the world it's not as salty or spicy >_<
My bento blog: http://justbento.com/blog/1305
My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
The only time I've seen curry served and eaten at breakfast time in Tokyo is as 'kare pan' - a sort of donut with curry in the middle.
I just did a quick search, amazingly (to me!) Maki has already posted a recipe for it
I wouldn't call it a typical Japanese breakfast item, but it's freely available to anybody who wants it in the mornings.
Both pii_bii and Maki (http://www.justhungry.com/quinoa-kedgeree) have beaten me into explaining that kedgeree is a classic curried British breakfast dish. But it's been a long, long time since I've seen it featured on any breakfast menus, I think kedgeree served in the morning is a tradition that got left behind in the 1970s. There does seem to be a bit of a revival going on though, even with the spices this "all day breakfast" menu item does seem a much healthier way to start the day than the alternative "all day" sausages, beans, bacon, eggs, black pudding, fried bread, potatoes and mushroom breakfast which has remained popular.
I may not be into the British empire style of curry and curry roux popular in England and in Japan, but I can really get into hot, spicy food in the morning. One of my all time favourite breakfasts can be found in the book "From Anna's Kitchen" by Anna Thomas (it's called "The New Vegetarian Epicure" in North America) - cornmeal griddlecakes with chipotle sauce. :dribbles:
Huevos Rancheros is a great classic, as is the fabulous Jamaican Saltfish and Ackee - both make terrific breakfasts.
