This was a bad time to hold any event at Yale with the word killer in the title and Yale officials are apologizing after an e-mail went out advertising a workshop called "Killer Cover Letters."
That e-mail went out on Monday, the day the chief medical examiner's office identified the body found in a lab wall as Annie Le, a 24-year-old graduate student
Philip Jones, assistant dean of Yale College, sent another e-mail to students later Monday apologizing.
U.S. & World
The workshop's title is common, he said, but using it was inappropriate after the recent events.
Jones said the university never intended to cause more distress as the study body reels from losing a classmate.
The school's list of events no longer include an event by that name, although there are some cover letter workshops to help students "connect the dots" between the Yale experience and "that big opportunity."

Exploring London
London's two-millennia history as a capital city set along the banks of the River Thames goes back to its founding as Londinium by the Romans. The heart of the conurbation is the City of London's iconic Square Mile, following the boundaries of the medieval walls and now home to the world's most important financial centre. The present-day city is a fantastic combination of history, heritage, landmark buildings, world-class museums, a vibrant theater district, shopping areas galore and amazing nightlife.
Hosting literally millions of visitors annually, London's tourist industry is backed by important historical sights such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the four major museums. The green lungs of the city are Regent's Park, Hyde Park, St James's Park, Battersea Park and Hampstead Heath, and the upscale district of Mayfair is famed for its exclusive art and antiques galleries as well as its luxury hotels such as the Park Lane Hotel.
Sights nearby
Whilst most of London's major landmarks are set in the heart of the city, more are scattered along the banks of the Thames heading out of town to the west and should not be missed.
- Hampton Court Palace
Tudor Hampton Court Palace lies on the banks of the Thames in the suburb of Richmond, and was the favorite retreat of King Henry VIII and his successive wives. Expect imposing red brick towers and halls, polished wood flooring, Tudor carvings and an overpowering sense of history.
- Covent Garden
Once the city's flower, fruit and vegetable market, modern day Covent Garden is a hub for visitors for its Royal Opera House, market square, actors' church, street entertainment, pubs, restaurants and winding, narrow shopping streets.
- Westminster
The heart of historic London's secular and religious activity, Westminster is home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and beautiful 10th century Westminster Abbey, home to the coronations of successive English kings and queens. Buckingham Palace is just a short walk away. You can find hotels such as The Strand Palace.
- St Paul's Cathedral
Set in the City of London, St Paul's is one of Britain's most spectacular cathedrals. Built to a design by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London destroyed its predecessor in 1666, the cathedral escaped damage during the WWII blitz and is a favourite with visitors.
- Tower of London
Commissioned by William the Conquerer in 1066, the Tower of London and adjacent Tower Bridge are major London landmarks. The spectacular moated fortress holds the Crown Jewels, prison cells, ceremonial halls, an arsenal and the cottages of the Beefeaters who act as guardians and guides.
Eating and drinking and shopping nearby
London's culinary scene will satisfy even the most picky gourmet, with many famous chefs established in city restaurants. For those with less unlimited means, a wide choice of international cuisine can be had in eateries all over the city, fast food outlets, typically British pub grub and fish and chip shops. Many central London hotels such as the Ritz and the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park boast excellent restaurants and Chinatown and Brick Lane's Indian enclave serve the best of Asian cuisine. London is a shopaholic's dream during the January and July sales, offering designer goodies in upscale Mayfair and high street names in the West End at great prices. Portobello Market is famous for its antiques malls, shops and street market.
Public transport
The air arrival hubs for most of London's tourists are Heathrow and Gatwick international airports, with Heathrow's Piccadilly Line Tube station and Airport Express to Paddington Station giving fast access to the city centre. Gatwick has a fast rail link to Victoria Station. Once in the city, the best way to travel is by the Tube as its inner city stations are close to the majority of London's attractions. London's famous black cabs are convenient but expensive, and bus travel, although comprehensive, is slow due to overcrowded roads. Self-drive isn't recommended due to the congestion charge, the expense of parking and the city's day-long heavy traffic.

Here's a Tip: Mediocre Pizza Is Better When You Order It 'Well-Done'
For the last year, whenever I've ordered a conventional-gas-oven, mediocre-ingredients-laden, decent-crusted plain pie from my local pizzeria of choice, T&R, I have been specifying that my pie be well-done.
Why? Because uncooked, gummy pizza dough may be my No. 1 pizza pet peeve (also known as my "PPP"). Nothing ruins a pizza like a bite filled with raw dough. And you know what? Ordering well-done really makes a difference. My last pie from T&R was most excellent.
Am I the only pizza lover who uses the well-done pizza gambit?

Are you thinking of magicking someone into loving you? Don't! Here's why you shouldn't do a love spell on a specific person, and what to do instead.
"Whom you seek to imprison you do not love."
~ A Course in Miracles
Look, I know it can be tempting.
But doing a love spell on a specific person is not only unethical, it will also very likely totally suck for you in the long run.
Of course, if you're in the throes of limerence, it may be difficult to imagine what could possibly suck so much about the person you're crushing on feeling the same way about you. Well then, let me paint you some pictures.
Ultimately, when you do a love spell on a specific person, there are no good outcomes. Rather, there are three main ways it could go horribly wrong.
The First Way a Love Spell Could Go Wrong
You know that what you send out energetically always comes back to you in some form, right? So in this scenario, when you do the love spell, you do it on yourself too. It flies right back at you like a boomerang. And now, you both become magically, unnaturally obsessed with the other. Then you get into a really sticky, codependent, basically awful relationship. Maybe it involves violence. At the very least it involves emotional abuse, because overriding someone else's free will is in itself a form of emotional abuse. So you put that in the mix when you did the spell, and now it's there. And you're stuck in the mire of it like a swamp. Any healthy, fun, beautiful relationships you may have had aren't even a possibility anymore, at least until you do some major magical damage control and extricate yourself from this mess. Which could take years.
The Second Way a Love Spell Could Go Wrong
In this scenario, the person indeed appears to fall hopelessly in love with you and…darn: now that they're acting so foolish, they're totally not attractive to you anymore. In addition to the former object of your lust now being miserable and possibly ruining a previous relationship, they also won't leave you alone. Not to mention, as in scenario 1, since you overrode some else's free will, it will only be a matter of time before your own free will is compromised in some equally terrible (but probably not identical) way.
The Third Way a Love Spell Could Go Wrong
The best case scenario, but still a bad one, is that the object of your spell successfully resists the magical pull to enter into a relationship with you. Still, you are both likely to pine for each other silently, painfully, and for an unnaturally extended period of time. Until it wears off or the spell is successfully broken, this presents a challenge to your moods, your ability to focus, and any other romantic relationships you are (or may have otherwise been) involved with.
What to Do Instead of a Love Spell
You can't go wrong when you do a spell to draw ideal romantic conditions and leave the actual person up to the universe. Because if the object of your affection happens to be an ideal partner for you right now, your spell might end up working on them after all! …But if it doesn't, that just means someone even more perfect for you is on his or her way. So there's obviously no question that this is the way to go.
Looking for an ethical love spell? Way to go, kid! Here are some from this blog:

The decision by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation to give a "Profile in Courage" award to the legislative leaders who negotiated the February 2009 budget deal was head-scratching.
The deal they reached -- which included difficult spending cuts, temporary tax increases, and a host of goodies to purchase the votes of the handful of Republican legislators needed to close the deal -- was more necessity than triumph.
The Kennedy folks, though, wanted to give credit for the political risk involved in making the deal, and there they have something of a point. The two Republican legislative leaders who negotiated the deal, Senate Republican leader Dave Cogdill and Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines, lost their leadership posts as a result.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The legislators did the best they could. But their deal should not be celebrated. To the contrary, the whole episode shows how dysfunctional California is.
Consider: in November 2008, California voters cast their ballots for the Democratic majority in the legislature. Immediately, because of the requirement of a two-thirds vote to pass a budget, those Democrats had to solve a budget and cash crisis -- by trying to convince the Republicans they just had beaten at the polls to help them out. As part of the February 2009 deal that earned the lawmakers the "Profile in Courage," those Republicans extracted a high price for the handful of votes needed -- including a $2 billion corporate tax cut and the promise to put the "top two" primary measure, Prop 14, on the June 2010 ballot.
That might have been the end of things, but many pieces of the budget deal altered existing constitutional provisions and voter-approved initiatives. In California, such changes must be ratified by the people -- which required six separate measures be submitted to voters on May 2009. The voters, who only seven months earlier had installed the legislature that made the deal, turned down five of the six measures.
That three-step procedure -- elect a legislative majority, then force that majority to get the minority's approval for a budget, then vote down the compromise that the majority you elected made -- is a demonstration not of courage, but of the madness of California's governing system.

"That was a lot of fun. That first stint was pretty incredible. We were knockdown, drag-out like it was a sprint race. Even after the pit stop, me and Dane (Westby) and (Jason) DiSalvo hooked up and that was a lot of fun. The last stint seemed like forever, but that was literally like the shortest 200 miles of my life."
Eslick's ride survived a serious challenge along the way, but "Slick" had cleared away by the end. One of the most spectacular riders in the field avoided the pitfalls of 200 miles at Daytona International Speedway. The last few laps were classic Danny histrionics like waving to the crowd, spurring his bike like a horse, and riding wheelies, even while he expanded his lead. Then Eslick topped it off with the longest victory lap ever, one that saw him stop to celebrate with fans in the infield.
"Hats off to the crew. (Crew chief) Richard Stanboli is the guy I worked with like ten years ago in my first year in the AMA. So in a big, roundabout way, this is payback for that first year," said Eslick. "It's awesome. I've gotten the pole before and, my very first 200, I got fourth. So there's been a lot of hard work and a lot of years passed by to get this victory. It really means a lot. There's been a lot going on at home, losing people close to me. This one is for Tommy Aquino and some good friends from home. So it means a lot.
For Triumph, the British brand capitalized on their last chance to win Daytona for the immediate future with the Daytona 675. Next year, the class returns to the parlance of the SuperBike class. "It's been what? Since 1971 since they were on pole and (Gary) Nixon was the last one to win it," said Eslick. "That's pretty cool right there."
RoadRace Factory/Red Bull's Jake Gagne took second, earning his best Daytona result in the process. "To start off on the podium, especially at the Daytona 200... I'm stoked for the whole RoadRace Factory/Red Bull crew. These guys worked so hard in the offseason and to pay them back with a podium is great," said Gagne. "It was a pretty big pack like we expected, and I just wanted to stay there. I figured once we got to the first pit stop, it would separate a little bit. After the first pit stop, it was like five or six guys. I was definitely struggling in the infield, and it was everything I had all the time just to hang onto the back of these guys. Luckily, the boys built me a fast bike because I could pull with these guys on the banking."
Jake Lewis was third for Motosport.com Meen Yamaha. "There's nothing to be disappointed about, being in victory circle after 200 miles, 57 laps," Lewis said. "That was a really long race. I would have liked to have been holding up that big trophy, but Danny was riding great all weekend. I got off to a really great start. The whole pack was at the front at the beginning of the race, but I was just having a few issues, and I lost the draft."
The first stint was the classic Daytona drafting festival, with ten riders breaking away. Garrett Gerloff (Yamaha Extended Service/Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha) led immediately after the first stop but soon crashed.
Four riders broke away, with Eslick, Yamalube/Westby Racing's Dane Westby, Castrol/Triumph/SportBike Track Time's Jason DiSalvo and Gagne battling the entire stint. Just before the second fuel stops on the 38th lap, Westby lost control in the first turn. He was unable to ride it out and he crashed. DiSalvo went wide trying to avoid Westby and fell, too. In an instant, two of the contenders were out.
Gagne had closed to within two seconds with 10 to go, but Eslick got the message and kicked up the pace to run away. The gap went back to six seconds.
Latus Motors Racing's Bobby Fong earned fourth, 48.659 seconds behind Eslick. Gerloff rebounded from his crash to take fifth. Kyle Wyman finished on the lead lap on his Kyle Wyman Racing Yamaha. British rider Luke Stapleford finished seventh for Profile Racing, ahead of GEICO Motorcycle Racing's Jake Zemke.
AMA Pro SuperBike
The AMA Pro SuperBike pilots who have managed to claim a race victory in their rookie season belong to an extremely short list.
On Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha's Cameron Beaubier not only joined that exclusive company, he did so in his debut weekend as a premier-class contender.
And 'contender' may just be the key word, as the '13 Daytona SportBike champ has gained an early advantage in this year's SuperBike title fight on the strength of today's win and yesterday's podium.
Beaubier successfully applied the lessons learned during Friday's third-place ride and orchestrated his victory with impressive tactical acumen. Caught up in a three-way dogfight to the checkered flag, the 21-year-old perfectly set up the contest's decisive strike. He took full advantage of his Yamaha YZF-R1's superior top-end hit and overhauled Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing teammates Roger Hayden and Martin Cardenas on the race's final lap to win by a narrow margin.
The Californian stormed to the checkered flag 0.090 seconds ahead of Hayden, who repeated Friday's runner-up result, while second Yosh pilot Martin Cardenas was just another 0.044 seconds adrift in third.
Beaubier's stunning performance was in stark contrast to the demoralizing result of his decorated Yamaha teammate, three-time series king Josh Hayes. The Mississippian appeared to have put last year's disastrous Daytona opener behind him with his Friday win. However, last year's poor luck returned today, as Hayes was forced to retire with another mechanical issue while fighting for the lead, sitting up as the riders took the stripe to open lap 9 of 15. He was officially credited with 21st and took no points on the day.
Hayes once again finds himself in an early hole in the championship fight. While not nearly as deep as last year's post-Daytona deficit, this season he faces the added difficulty of a shorter race season and the absence of the bonus points for pole position and laps led he so frequently used to pad his tally in year's past.
After claiming his breakthrough victory, Beaubier said, "This means everything. I've worked really hard to get to where I am. I can't thank Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha enough for giving me this opportunity on the R1.
"It was a little bit smoother of a race than yesterday -- I didn't go off the track or anything, which I was happy about. I was a little more consistent. We made a little bit of a spring change -- we went stiffer on the rear shock, which was better when the tire was fresh but when it went off I was sliding pretty good. I couldn't drive off the corners quite as well as everyone else. But I'm really lucky my bike had some steam on these guys -- they were riding really well. Now I'm looking forward to going to some road courses."
Hayden sits just a single point out of first with his pair of second-place runs. His opener marks an excellent start to the year for the Kentuckian, who has traditionally started slow and worked up to speed as the year has taken shape.
Hayden said, "It's a little disappointing to come so close to winning both races but coming in second. But it's a good start to the year and that was a fun race, battling at the end. Everybody was kind of swapping around.
"It's a good start for me -- I usually start the season really slow and then by the third or fourth race I get going. So I'm glad to start strong. I can't thank the whole Yoshimura team enough for this opportunity they gave me. I didn't know I had a job this year until Christmas Eve so to get two seconds at Daytona... I can't complain."
Cardenas successfully rebounded from yesterday's crash with a close third. The Colombian was in contention throughout the affair but just missed out in the final shuffle at the stripe.
"Today was much better than yesterday," Cardenas said. "Yesterday I could not ride the bike as I wanted to and had a little crash. But today I bounced back. I was hoping for maybe a little better -- first or second -- but it wasn't possible. I didn't make the best of the last part of the race so third is good enough for today."
The tussle for fourth was a virtual repeat from Friday with Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's Chris Clark, ADR Motorsports/Sic/Motul Fly Racing's David Anthony and KTM/HMC Racing's Chris Fillmore running in tight formation.
And, again, it was Clark who came out on top -- this time handing Yosh a 2-3-4 result -- while Anthony and Fillmore matched yesterday's respective fifth and sixth.
That trend continued down the order as Cusanelli Motorsports Argentina's Diego Pierluigi, TOBC Suzuki's Taylor Knapp, and Team AMSOIL Hero EBR's Cory West replicated their Friday seventh, eighth, and ninth. In fact, the only change in Saturday's top-ten order outside of the podium placings was the tenth-position run of GEICO Motorcycle Road Racing Honda's Chris Ulrich.
Following the completion of this year's opener, young Beaubier leads the way with 51 points. Hayden is second at 50, followed by Clark (36) and Anthony (32). That leaves Hayes and Cardenas even with Fillmore at 30 and with some work ahead of them.
AMA Pro SuperSport
Corey Alexander churned out another dominating performance in the second AMA Pro SuperSport race of the weekend. Alexander won by 6.884 seconds, but he didn't actually lead the entire race on the Celtic/HVMC Suzuki from flag-to-flag. After Miles Thornton ran wide on the first lap, Alexander motored away. The New Yorker had a big lead by the time he made it through the chicane the first time.
"Again, hats off to my whole team," said Alexander. "My bike was just as good as it was yesterday if not a little better... Obviously we're happy to be on top again."
All the action was behind Alexander. Numerous riders battled for the podium in epic fashion, with five riders within a second of each other. Wyatt Farris on the second Celtic/HVMC Racing entry earned second, having run a perfect infield section the last time.
Hayden Gillim (TOBC Racing) was able to rebound from a bad start deep in the field to run to the front. Gillim turned the fastest lap of the race (1:52.906) in his charge to the pack trailing Alexander. Gillim made the podium a Suzuki sweep.
Armando Ferrer (RacersPrice.com) topped Macedon, NY's Cody Wyman (Harv's H-D) by just 0.001 in that pack.
Dustin Dominguez (Houston Superbikes) battled for the podium but was shuffled back on the tenth and final lap.
Six more riders followed in a second group within a second of each other. J.C. Camacho (House of Paint Designs) and Mark Miller, Jr, (Mar Del Racing) led that bunch to the line.
Next Up
The 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing season will pick back up on May 30-June 1 with Round 2, the Subway SuperBike Doubleheader at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI.

Spinning is a popular program at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club in Greenwood Village, CO. So it's no wonder it is the home of The Roadless Ride, a 12-hour Spin-a-thon that raises money for Brent's Place.
Brent's Place is an organization that houses families with kids suffering from cancer. The organization counts on The Roadless Ride, which also includes a silent auction, to achieve its fundraising goals for the year. Greenwood raised $61,770 for Brent's Place during last year's ride.
"We're a big Spinning club," says Paula Neubert, president and general manager of Greenwood. "We have a lot of cyclists in our club. They're very giving members. There's something about Brent's Place that hits the hearts of so many people."
Most of the silent auction items for The Roadless Ride are donated by local businesses, Neubert says, but the club occasionally receives items from other places, such as signed merchandise from seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and eight-time Olympic speedskating medalist Apolo Ohno. Donations also come from the club in the form of free sessions with swim instructors and tennis pros for the silent auction and a free one-year membership to the club. Last year, Greenwood raised $13,000 from the silent auction. When added to the amount brought in by donations and pledges for the Spin-a-thon, the total raised was $31,178.
The Spin-a-thon involves 11 one-hour classes in the Spin studio with a one-hour break in the afternoon to clean up the room. Typically, riders are signed up for most of the 50 bikes in the room for each class, and sometimes, the group has to bring in some of the five extra bikes that the club has.
Last year's event drew 415 riders, the majority of whom were club members. However, about 25 percent of the riders are nonmembers who are simply supporters of Brent's Place. Because many of these nonmembers do not live in close proximity to the club, Greenwood does not push membership sales during the event.
Many of the Greenwood staff members participate. Two staff members rode the full 11 hours at last year's event. One staff member, the men's locker room attendant, raised $10,000 on his own. Even though he never takes a Spin class, he decided to do a one-hour session, and because he's popular with the members, he got a lot of sponsors, Neubert says.
"We have very charitable members, which makes it really easy," Neubert says. "Our members are amazing. Our staff also donates a lot of their time. Members love to see us working."
Brent's Place and Greenwood team up on marketing efforts, each sending promotional pieces to their databases. Greenwood sends out e-mails, newsletters and direct mail pieces. And as the Spin-a-thon draws nearer, Neubert puts a bike in the lobby with a countdown noting the number of bikes still open for each class.
Neubert suggests other club operators plan ahead if they want to host a similar event.
"You have to get your staff behind it," she says. "Definitely get a couple of cheerleaders. Our assistant general manager works very closely with me. She's constantly talking to people about it. You have to be very organized and start well in advance."

Album Rating: 4.52Stranger just uploaded this album for the DU....I'm hoping for more exposure now, this band deserves it.
Album Rating: 5.0I never realised this was reviewed. Good work. Amazing album.
Album Rating: 5.0i just listened to this again and its really a great album. songs are kinda long but they flow well and just take you on a journey of darkness. i need more doom like this
Album Rating: 4.5I have just got this. This is totally extreme, totally awesome, and totally doom. It really pushes the boundaries in an interesting way. This album is way more interesting than I was expecting. Very good review by the way. I am in the process of ordering their new album immediately!!
Noice, noice. Voted. Should check them out, sounds like something I'd like.
Album Rating: 4.0great band... one of the best funeral doom acts.... to bad it took me so long to find out about them..........
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffAfter hearing Watching from a Distance from Warning, The Call of the Wretched Sea from Ahab, Dooom from Worship, and this...
This wins. And I'll tell you why I think so.
The drummer is very subdued in Doom metal overall, at least that's what I've gathered from these albums. Even when they do get their chance to shine, it's usually brief, or just like one cool but repeated pattern.
These guys manage to intelligently and beautifully work the drumming into the core of their sound and that fills a missing gap between me and totally loving doom metal.
This is sublime.
And from what I've heard from A Caress of the Void, it's just as good. This Message Edited On 03.13.08
Album Rating: 4.0I think this album is really good... But over all i would disagree with Angelphonix. Ahab takes it any day for me as the atmosphere they create is the most intense.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffYeah man, Ahab is damn close to this. I like individual tracks on that album better (Old Thunder, The Sermon, Ahab's Oath), but this impresses me more overall. I don't even care about the tracks, the album as a whole is nearly perfect. My opinion of course
Ahab frikin rules though, no argument there.

So, without further ado, let's welcome the good folks who will be helping out with blog, and briefly discuss their responsibilities.
A dear, dear friend of this blog, who has stepped up in the past and blogged to heroic effort, Neal has been named Style Editor. He'll be writing about the latest in hip fashion trends, from Tokyo, New York, Milan to Paris. Please send all clothing, accessories, style tips and story ideas to Neal at his soon-to-be-refurbished blog, The Style Wind. And look for his searing and very personal essay, "How I stopped fearing fashion and learned to love vests; A fleece Odyssey!," coming soon!
One of my most beloved compatriots, Eric has been charged with writing about DC Comics, as well as other alternative lifestyle choices. His multipart epic, "Sinistro Corp Issue One, Second Printing, and the Fine Art of Autoerotic Asphixiation," will be serialized in this blog, with all twenty-three of its chapters compete and unabridged.
James Nadiger is the Canadian John Layman, and one of meanest, most magnificnt bastards in the entire world. He runs this blog's Canadian sister sight, I blame the Internet, and infuses it with pure perfection on an almost-regular basis. He's been named International Correspondent, since he lives in another country. He'll also be writing about Teen Trends, something he knows only all too well.
This British writer has written several short stories exclusively for this blog, which will debut when our busy schedule permits. Look for "Jimmy Bucket and the Platoon on the Moon," Chapter One, sometime in the coming months.
My loathing for Brian Perez has been duly noted. And he may be an asshole, but he sure knows his stuff. He'll be tackling the sensitive subjects nobody else dares to touch, with his own brand of seering, introspective gonzo journalism. Future exposes include "I really like Dick Cheney," "Larry Craig was in my bathroom, now he's in my heart," and "Self-Help cures for the hopeless STD sufferer."
We have one last opening, and since it is SO big, it can't be trusted to just ANYBODY. That's why I am putting out an open call for contributors on the "Reggie beat," with blog postings devoted solely to this blog's favorite, favorite, favorite cat. Bloggers are expected to contribute 3-4 times a week, with posts in length of 1500-2000 words on the virtues and endless appeal of Reggie. Potential blog postings may include "Reggie looks just like a Panda, but is even cuter!," "Reggie is colored like a penguin but is much cuter and sweeter than the filthy animals in the 'March of' movie," "Reggie is an ANGEL!!!" and, finally, "Reggie should be a member of the White Stripes 'cause he has a huge fuzzy white stripe on his tummy."
If you would like to apply for this position, please contribute three sample articles in a Word document, double-spaced, using Ariel Font size 13.
serious inquiries only

I made these wings knowing that the ever-popular "buffalo" flavor wasn't usually something I was a big fan of. So, when I put this plate in front of my hungry husband, I expected to just go about my business and move on to other things. But after he gobbled up two, there were still quite a few left. Just sitting there. Staring at me. And smelling delicious.
I went in for the kill and devoured one right then and there. And, well, I think can now say I'm a buffalo wing fan. With this recipe, you will love them too if you don't already. They may look five-alarm spicy, but in fact, while the flavor is very pronounced the spice is only minimal.
Served with a side of bleu cheese and a few celery sticks, these baked buffalo wings are the perfect way to kick off a game day feast, or any casual party. I know I can't wait for the next time we get messy in the kitchen and make these again!
Craving more? Keep in touch on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram for new post updates and more. You can also check out my FAQ page, or contact me with any questions or inquiries!
Baked Buffalo Wings
Yield: Yields 20 chicken wings
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
20 chicken wings
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
Ranch and/or bleu cheese dressing, optional
Celery sticks, optional
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and top with a cooling rack.
Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt into a re-sealable plastic bag, and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture. Refrigerate chicken in the bag for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into this mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.
Optionally, serve wings with dipping sauces such as ranch and/or bleu cheese dressing, and celery sticks.

A few weeks ago, Juventus defeated Celtic 3-0 in Champions League play. Soon after, this video of a mildly distressed Celtic fan appeared on the internet. We do not know who this young woman is, and we do not have any idea what she is saying in this video, but we do know that her grief is very real and also very loud.
As we've done in the past, we've brought in Deadspin editor emeritus A.J. Daulerio to provide a phonetic translation of her anguish. The clip first plays on its own, and the subtitles begin at the :58 mark in the video above. Enjoy, ya balsters.
Note: The title of this post originally identified the fan as Scottish. We've been informed she's most certainly Northern Irish and have adjusted the headline accordingly.

79. HELEN KELLER: When one door closes
Yay, another Helen Keller quote. Here's the first one I did. The fact that Keller became a famous optimist, despite being blind and deaf is something I still struggle to comprehend. If there was a Mt. Rushmore of most inspirational people in history, Keller would definitely be up there. Back in my old life I worked in the newspaper industry where I witnessed many friends forced to leave their jobs and take a redundancy. Some of them coped well, but a lot of them struggled with the news. This one's for them.

Solomon Islands flooding appeal
Updated: 15/04/2014 3:54:46 PM
Australia's Pacific neighbour has been hit hard by storms and flooding, and aid agencies are responding to an urgent call for assistance with more than 50,000 people displaced.
More than 20 people died following flash floods in April 2014, after days of torrential rain in the Solomon Islands which caused the Mataniko River in Honiara to burst its banks.
Reports from the region indicate widespread destruction and, due to the scale, many challenges in providing relief and recovery services.
Thousands have sought refuge in evacuation centres, but there are concerns about sanitation and the potential outbreak of disease. Homes, businesses, agricultural crops and critical infrastructure have been swept away and governments, including Australia's, have sent money and supplies to help in the rebuilding process.
Charities are distributing hygiene kits and helping local people to access shelter, sanitation services, safe drinking water and education support for children.
You can donate to one of the following charities involved in the relief campaign:

Wine Notes from Terry Theise: A Unique Frustration in Wine
Editor's Note: You may know wine importer Terry Theise from his recent book, Reading Between the Wines. Or you may know him from seeing his name on the back of a bottle. Or you may not know him yet, in which case you're in for a treat. We invited Terry to share occasional wine musings with us; here's the first edition.
There is a unique frustration sometimes in wine. You buy a random bottle somewhere; it seemed interesting at the time, but it's an incidental. Some day you'll open it and find out how it is, or was. If it's disappointing, that's OK. You had no expectations. If it's good, then it's good. But if it's exceptional, it ambushes you, and all the time you're fascinated and blown away you know you'll never have that wine again. And you lost the pleasure of anticipation. So you're amazed at the suddenly amazing wine, and the moment wasn't prepared for.
The wine prompting this bemused mood is something that really shouldn't have been this good. I bought it—a 2006 Muscat Kirchberg Grand Cru, from a grower named Robert Faller, in Ribeauuvillé—because I'm a hopeless freak for Muscat, and my curiosity won over. The bottle doesn't promise much; the label looks like his 8-year-old designed it on a PC. And it's an '06, after all, the weird difficult vintage. Overripe, botrytisey.
Oh, but the wine! It joins a small select family of Muscats that show fervent terroir (and which always make you think of Riesling), such as Boxler's Brand, Burn's Goldert (not to mention the hors-classe ZH), and Sorg's Pfersigberg. Maybe it's a little more emphatic, more blatant than a Riesling would be, but it's far from impossible to imagine the wine IS a wacked out sort of Riesling. When we have such flights of imagination it shows how ineluctably we conflate the idea of "terroir" with the fact of Riesling, but that's a subject for another day.
Right now there's this absolutely wonderful Muscat. How on earth was it made in a year like '06? Steely-clean, yet ripe and full (13% alc) and showing no signs of having been "picked before the rains," i.e., not quite ripe. If I HAD to pile up the associations, I'd be listing an ANGRY fennel, a root beer with an attitude, tarragon you wish you'd used less of, green apple and pickled ginger. So limey you peer at the rim of the glass looking for salt. The wine isn't subtle, yet it's noble. The English writers used to talk about "cut," but this is like a sushi knife waved around by some drunken cook: "Oh, was that your finger? Oops!"
I'll return to M. Faller in March 2011, and whatever vintage of Muscat Kirchberg he's selling, I'll buy it. A lot of it. You can never have too many wines like this in your life—the uncanny ones, the inexplicably superb ones. I'll look forward to it next time, and maybe give it the ceremony it asks for, or that I think it deserves. But who knows what will happen? Still, this bottle wants me to pause at least long enough to make sure I remember it, how it stole upon me with its eerie green sizzle.
A lot of words, maybe, for the quotidian Muscat. Or so you suppose. In fact a cunning incisive Muscat just slams into your senses, and reminds you that your soul isn't only accessed by finesse and subtlety. Sometimes you just get whomped. And I'm enjoying being whomped by this articulate brute, scribbling all over the page of my palate with a fine-point pen.

Housing Disrepair Claims Newcastle
Housing disrepair can be a serious issue. It can often cause health issues, stress or damage to your belongings. Your landlord is responsible for ensuring that your property is kept in good condition and any repairs that are necessary are carried out in a timely manner. There are several areas that your landlord is responsible for:
- Ensuring any heating system provided is in a good working order
- Keeping the structure of the building, including drains, gutters, roofs, foundations and external pipes in good repair
- Keeping in proper working order the water, gas, electricity and sanitation including basins, sinks, baths and toilets
- Making sure that serious disrepair or dampness doesn't make the building unfit for human habitation
- Ensuring the property is free from vermin infestation
If your landlord fails to adhere to these responsibilities then it is possible to take the landlord to court to claim compensation, even if you have already left the property and are living elsewhere. In order for any claim against your landlord to be valid, you must serve a legal notice against your landlord.
If you require more information in relation to this then please contact our expert team of solicitors either by phone or our instant live chat service below:
If your landlord fails to respond to the legal notice then you are able to make a claim to the small county claims court for compensation. Damage to belongings in relation to housing disrepair is also a valid area for a claim. There are various ways in which your belongings can become damaged by housing disrepair. This includes:
- Dampness or Mould – can damage clothes, bedding, curtains and other fabric within your home
- Leaks or other issues related to disrepair. – leaks within the home can cause damage to furniture and carpets
Sometimes this may be covered by home insurance which has been taken out by you or your landlord. However, if this is not the case then you are able to make a claim for compensation to the small claims court to claim back the cost of the item which has been damaged.
If you have any issues due to housing disrepair then it is important to collect several different types of evidence in order to support your claim. Try not to throw away any items which have been damaged as it would help your case if you are able to produce these in court. Taking photographs of the disrepair or any damage caused by it would also be extremely helpful. If you need to replace items which have been damaged then you should keep any receipts for these items to prove that you have had to purchase these. It would also benefit your case if you have any receipts for the original items to prove their worth while your claim is assessed.
Housing disrepair issues can also have a large effect on your health, especially when considering the effect that mould or dampness can have on your overall wellbeing. Certain types of mould have even been linked to various cancers and can aggravate many breathing conditions such as emphysema and other diseases related to COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
In situations where you believe that your health has been affected by the disrepair of your home, it is possible to make a claim based upon the severity of your illness. If you have been unable to work, the loss of earnings you may have suffered can also be recovered if it is possible to directly link the disrepair to your health issues. To help identify this link it is necessary to obtain an architect or surveyor's report for your household as well as a doctor's report verifying that the worsening of your health is related to the conditions you are living in.
If you have found that you have been unable to use parts of your household due to the disrepair then it is possible to claim for a refund of rent in proportion to the amount of your home which is uninhabitable. In extreme situations where your home is completely uninhabitable it is possible to claim up to 100% of your rent. This is called an 'abatement of rent'.
Lastly, if you have found yourself inconvenienced due to the disrepair of your home so that you have been unable to use the facilities of the house in the normal way then you can press forwards with a claim for this inconvenience.
The amount awarded will depend upon the level of your inconvenience and the level of the disrepair. Housing disrepair can be a very complex area.
Here at Claims Liverpool we believe that knowledge is power, contact us NOW to speak to our Housing Disrepair team who will be more than happy to provide you with FREE expert advice.

The search for life
Life on other planets is always going to be an exciting subject for debate. But how do we find out if life really exists elsewhere in the Universe?
One way is to travel to the planets, either with remotely operated probes or with manned spacecraft.
Mars is currently the only planet in our Solar System on which there is a strong possibility of finding life, either past or present. ESA's Mars Express is Europe's first mission to the Red Planet, and its Beagle 2 lander will perform on-the-spot experiments to search for signs of this life.
In 2004, ESA's Huygens probe to Titan, a moon of Saturn, could provide vital information towards the great mystery of how life began on Earth. Later, Rosetta will be the first spacecraft to land on a comet, analysing its surface for organic compounds that could be the building blocks of life. This will help us to understand if life on Earth began with the help of 'comet seeding'.
First, find the stars with planets...
However, these missions are only looking for life within our own Solar System. But how do we find life on planets around other stars? ESA has a plan for searching for this life in other solar systems.
First you have to find the stars that have planets. There are too many stars to analyse them all, so you have to choose a small part of the sky as your starting point. Next you have to decide what kind of planets you are looking for.
With Earth-based telescopes, the only planets we have detected around other stars have been giant gaseous worlds, like Jupiter, over 10 times the diameter of the Earth. Scientists believe we should be looking for rocky, Earth-like planets, because a solid surface is needed on which organic molecules can form and develop into life.
...then decide what kind of planets...
The joint CNES/European mission Corot will be the first spacecraft capable of detecting large rocky planets in short-period orbits around nearby stars.
It will use its 30-centimetre telescope to look at few thousand stars, monitoring changes in their brightness caused by planets crossing in front of them.
...then identify signs of life
When we have found some suitable planets, then we can look for signs of life. ESA will continue the search into the second decade of the century with the Darwin mission. Darwin's main objective is to find the most likely places for life to develop - at least as we know it!
Darwin will make observations in the infrared since life on Earth leaves its mark in our atmosphere at these wavelengths. On Earth, biological activity produces gases that mingle with our atmosphere.
For example, plants give out oxygen and animals expel carbon dioxide and methane. This flotilla of eight spacecraft will survey 1000 of the closest stars, looking for rocky planets and analysing their atmospheres for this evidence of possible life.

Hi - what do you think of this ?
regards - Ray
My son just purchased a Coby Tablet PC with Android, something I'd managed to ignore until now.
I'm watching the development of this ARM Pup thing with interest, and I like this device, I think. It's hard to tell until you have one out of the box and play with it. I wonder if the OS is some version of Android...
I also assume that the screen, like my son's Coby, would have the lower tech 'resistant' touch interface, as opposed to the nifty 'capacitative' touch on higher end ware. (Just throwing out techie terms I didn't even know until about two weeks ago, trying to look cool until some Alpha geek emerges to eclipse my light.
And most importantly, I don't know how the different touch interfaces change the programming of the device's OS. I would assume that the capacitative interface is more demanding do to its greater set of capabilities.

But back to Lobster's original topic: should Puppy 6 be based on Debian? I think it's up to the lead developer, just as the basing of 5.3 on Slackware was the decision--with Barry's assent, I gather--of the project lead.
I was rather under the impression that the 6x series might be based on some .rpm distro, probably Mageia, but I can't remember where I got that idea. I was excited by it, to expand Puppy as a concept within Linux as opposed to JUST another distro...or YET another distro, if I haven't made enough .rpm references YET. Hey, Yet Another Puppy: it spells YAP! (In the U.S. we refer to the barking of a small dog as 'yapping.' Don't know if that registers in the rest of the English-speaking world.)
I have seen some yapping here whenever .rpm's are mentioned, but .deb's are not always perfect either.
Truth is, it's all Linux, and as long as it's Puppy and it works, I don't really care WHERE the binaries came from.

My 2c worth on this topic, which I've mentioned before.
I like that puppy is Binary compatible with other distros, and that helps and works great. BUT, I am sick of reading reviews that say Puppy is now an Ubuntu derivative, or a Slackware derivative etc.
Puppy is a derivative of Puppy. Other distro's packages work, cool, but nothing works better than Puppy Packages.
For my liking, I'd prefer to see Puppy as Puppy.

Puppy as Puppy
There is no reason why Quirky or Racy could not be the new Puppy
. . . even Wary
They are all Woof built.
That would be great.
With the new Woof, we could have several versions
for different situations.

"Puppy is a derivative of Puppy" Sorry, that has never been true because puppy has never had its' very own toolchain.

Maybe, the prime requirement for Puppy 6 should be is that everything has been created from the source tree. That it is not another Distro. take-off. Even to see if we, "The Puppy Community", have developed to the stage that we can do it!
Maybe, Lobster, that should be the next BIG project, not to puppy6 over the next twelve months, but to get all these packages into one repositry, with an initial package owner or creator, and see just what we have so we can see if we can start filling in the holes. It wouldn't even matter at this point, if they weren't the latest and greatest, as long as they were complete and worked with a stable version of puppy. I'm not even sure that it should matter in the first place, whether it should matter if there was any intention to eventually use them or not! There are already a lot of packages out there, that have been added to puppy that were created or compiled from source trees by puppyians.
just a lateral thought
Addendum: have a look at one of Iguleders threads I just found, that may be an alternate way forward for puppy6

I haven't noticed this thread until now, so I'll express my opinion of what Puppy 6 should look like.
I see it as the direct descendant of Puppy 5.x, but more organized and efficient, since the core Puppy developers have gained lots of experience with Woof and know more about the distributions it supports (most notably, Ubuntu, Debian and Slackware). I also think it's time to start thinking about making Puppy more "serious" in terms of infrastructure and the community structure; I think we should implement some automated package building solution (to make Puppy more source-based) and form a team of lead developers, which will coordinate the work of small, task-specific teams, such as a "kernel team", an artwork team, etc'.
However, words are words, time to talk about code.
At the moment I'm working on 4 components that form the infrastructure needed for a modern distribution:
- A competitor to Woof - I implemented something very similar to Woof, but more modular, much faster (15 mins vs. Woof's 5 hours, on my netbook, from the package processing part to the bootable image) and smarter. The main features are good design, efficient code, zero legacy code and generic nature (e.g less hard dependencies on specific packages). It's fully compatible with Woof's configuration format, so I was able to build a Slacko with it; the result was quite crude (i.e it was way bigger), but RAM usage was about 10 MB lower.
It's ready and works great.
- A package building server - an automated, complete and sanitized solution for building packages. This server contains well-tested build scripts for all applications shipped with the distribution; the rest is taken from another distribution. This means we have good balance between size and ease of development: the base packages are provided by some "upstream" source, while the part of the operating system users care about is totally customizable. This server makes sure the packages are built in a clean environment using jails and virtualization, so development is easier and more future-proof.
I use it for several months and it's great.
- A distribution, all the surroundings - I wrote build scripts, a package manager and documentation for a proof-of-concept Puppy "fork", which also has its own branding. This use of the term "fork" is kinda silly, since it's an independent distribution, but it's aimed at showing the world what my vision of Puppy 6 looks like; I'm a realistic person - building a POC of something is always better than explaining what it is in words. All its applications are built using the package building server, while the core binary packages come from Slackware (or any other distribution, I just need to implement support for it in my Woof implementation).
- A file system skeleton and init scripts. The package manager is ready, as I mentioned earlier, so I just need to write new init scripts. My experience with building small distributions should make it easy.
It's kinda funny that I find myself working on all these, since these are things I've already done in my past, but separately. I built my concept distribution (Calf GNU/Linux), which had its own skeleton, init scripts, package manager and binary packages, but lacked a proper building system.
Now I decided to go for it and build all 4 components, so I can see how far it gets. Unlike Saluki and other innovative Puppy initiatives, I'm starting from scratch - everything is fresh and clean,
as the next Puppy generation should be
. I'm not going to use Woof or Puppy's existing tools, because the best revolutions aren't transformations or natural evolution, but simple innovations that make things better.

Starting last night, I am not able to synchronize any scorecasts using any iScore app. I have tried Basketball, Football, and Baseball. I also tried on several different Wi-Fi networks, and I've confirmed that the iPad is able to connect to the Internet for other purposes, including things within iScore like e-mailing game summaries and exporting the database. I also tried using my iScore Baseball app on my Android phone and got a similar "java.lang.Exception: Exception connecting to server".
I have a major basketball tournament starting tomorrow for which we have been heavily promoting live score updates, and I am depending on this technology to make that happen. Is there something wrong with the scorecast server, and is there any chance it will be fixed by tomorrow?
Can't Sync Scorecast (resolved)

Well, there could be a stronger glue, I just don't know about it yet. This glue, which is modeled after the sticky feet of geckos, is pretty strong stuff. 1 square inch of the stuff can support 220 pounds of weight. And since it acts like the gecko's feet the glue can be removed and reapplied numerous times. The bottle of Coke in the picture is being supported by just 4 millimeters of the stuff.
So my thought(and yours and probably everyone else's) was that it's time to find that old Spiderman costume from halloween's past and do some real wall climbing.
The glue is made from carbon nanotubes with small, curly carbon filaments on the ends that act like the little hairs in a gecko's feet. But this glue is 10 times stronger than a gecko's foot. And the glue can be used for non fanboy activities such as creating electronic components without the need of soldering.

His name evokes the grandeur and golden age of haute couture, yet Cristóbal Balenciaga, the Basque son of a sailor and a seamstress, continued to look homeward to Spain long after he'd become one of the most feted couturiers in Paris. "What's really been astonishing," says Hamish Bowles, the Vogue editor at large who curated "Balenciaga: Spanish Master," a new exhibition opening at New York's Queen Sofía Spanish Institute (November 19 to February 19, 2011), "is that you can look at anything of his and there is Spain somewhere, no matter how subliminally." Balenciaga was 42 and dressing marquesas and queens (and Señora Franco) when he fled the Spanish Civil War to set up shop on avenue George V in 1937, the year the show begins. But even at his most abstracted, Bowles says, Balenciaga's references to Spanish regional and liturgical dress abound. Beyond the show's toreador boleros and flamenco-inspired ruffled dresses, there is a caped coat "the exact scarlet of a cardinal's robe" and evening gowns from the Sixties that, he says, suggest the silhouette and form of a mother superior's wimple. Oscar de la Renta proposed the show to Bowles, who visited Balenciaga's humble hometown of Getaria as well as the Prado Museum, which was "revelatory," he says, "because it was just one Balenciaga after another! Whether it's the way a piece of drapery falls in an El Greco or that bow in an Infanta's hair that you realize he's scattered all across an evening dress in the Sixties."
Look for the 1967 black crepe sheath with a cape that can be worn as a headdress and references the volumes of the mantilla worn by one of Goya's aristocratic sitters. There, says Bowles, "you're really seeing his pure, unadulterated vision, before the clients got to it and staged their own intervention!"

NAACP president to deliver MLK Address
WHO: Benjamin Todd Jealous, the youngest president in the history of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will deliver the University of Rochester's 2014 Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Address. Jealous's address will draw on the tradition of leadership that connects Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., Shirley Chisolm, Frederick Douglas, Cesar Chavez, and Frances Willard to inspire young people to change the world. Jealous will discuss victories he has won, as well as those of young organizers he has trained and mentored, as a framework for how to achieve social transformation.
PRESS OPPORTUNITY: Press availability with Jealous will be scheduled from 3 to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24, in the Frederick Douglass Leadership House, located on Wilson Boulevard on the Fraternity Quadrangle.
COMMEMORATIVE ADDRESS: 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24, Strong Auditorium on the River Campus. The address is free and open to the public.
ABOUT BENJAMIN TODD JEALOUS: A fifth generation member of the NAACP, Jealous began his career in civil rights at age 18, opening mail at the organization's Legal Defense Fund. He has since become an outspoken leader of successful state and local movements to ban the death penalty, outlaw racial profiling, defend voting rights, secure marriage equality, and free multiple wrongfully incarcerated people. Under his leadership, the NAACP grew to be the largest civil rights organization online and on mobile, experienced its first multi-year membership growth in 20 years, and became the largest community-based nonpartisan voter registration operation in the country. He announced last fall that he planned to step down from the leadership position at the end of 2013.
Prior to leading the NAACP, Jealous spent 15 years working as a journalist and community organizer. While at Mississippi's Jackson Advocate Newspaper—the most frequently firebombed publication in the U.S. during the late 20th century—his investigations were credited with exposing corruption at the state penitentiary at Parchman and proving the innocence of a black farmer who was being framed for arson.
A Rhodes Scholar, Jealous is a graduate of Columbia and Oxford Universities. He was named to both Forbes and Time Magazine's 40 under 40 lists, labeled a Young Global Economic Leader by the World Economic Forum, and was #1 on TheRoot.com's list of 2013's Top Black Influencers.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has patented an improved microscopy method for measuring proteins to help scientists creating new pharmaceuticals for targeted proteins. The method, called Differential Aberration Correction (DAC) microscopy, measures distances at the molecular level in two and three dimensions using conventional fluorescence microscopy.
The leader of CSIRO's Biotech Imaging team, Dr. Pascal Vallotton, says DAC microscopy measures distances a million times smaller than a tape measure can – in nanometers rather than millimeters. "We want to use our technique to measure accurate dimensions of proteins called membrane receptors. These proteins sit on cell boundaries, acting as gate-keepers, and they represent a class of biomolecules targeted by over 50% of pharmaceuticals", he says. DAC microscopy is an improvement on an older technology, called FRET. Compared to FRET, DAC measures 1-250 nanometers, giving a more complete picture of drug-membrane receptor interactions. It will complement other techniques like X-ray crystallography. The DAC software was recently demonstrated in the US and will be presented at the Society for Biomolecular Screening conference in Lilles, France in April.

While coach houses are well-known in Vancouver, a new project in Coquitlam is the first of its kind in that community. At Morningstar's Somerton 34-home development, 21 of the houses come with a one-bedroom coach house above the garage.
Apparently, it's a popular idea. More than half of the houses with coach homes have sold out, said Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar Homes. The 13 homes without a coach house are built to accommodate a legal basement suite; sales of those homes have just begun.
The UDI/Fortis Housing Affordability Index for B.C. shows that less than 40.9 per cent of working households in inner Metro — which includes Coquitlam, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond/Delta, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam — earn the $94,002 or more necessary to qualify for the $2,507-a-month mortgage payment required for the average new single-family home in the area, with a median price of about $850,000. Those figures are for re-sale homes; there is not enough data to calculate an accurate median price for new single-family homes.
Despite being new homes, prices at Somerton are lower than the median price for re-sale homes; they range from $649,900 to $809,900. The houses are just over 3,000 square feet each, including the basement which can be purchased finished or unfinished, while the coach houses are about 500 square feet.
As a single-family home development, Somerton has not attracted many first-time buyers. Instead, it's people looking to either move up, or move laterally into a new home that are choosing to buy at Somerton, Calahan said.
"Usually, in order to buy a single-family home in the Lower Mainland, you need to have already been a homeowner, unless your parents are helping you out," Calahan said. "Generally, we don't see that first-time homebuyer."
Somerton is on Roxton Avenue in Coquitlam, in a residential are near Leigh elementary school and Coast Meridian Road. The community is expecting SkyTrain's Evergreen Line to be ready for commuters in 2016.
"There has been amazing growth here over the past five years," Calahan said.
Calahan said buyers have come from all over Metro, including the Tri-Cities area, Burnaby and North Vancouver. She said the Somerton project has not seen a lot of offshore buyers. Many of the buyers are not planning to rent out the coach house — instead they intend to have their aging parent or university-age child live in the separate accommodation, Calahan said. It also makes a good nanny suite or in-home office, she said.
If a buyer did choose to rent out the coach house, Calahan conservatively estimated they could get about $800 to $1,000 a month to help out with their mortgage. She said two-bedroom suites nearby are renting for between $1,000 and $1,200, while the coach houses are new and feel like a home unto themselves.
"These coach houses are like none other. They've got vaulted ceilings, picture windows and even a window seat in the bedroom," Calahan said. "It's like a mini-home and it's amazing."
The coach houses have private patios, a parking space and in-suite laundry.
An extra $1,000 per month in income could mean the ability to borrow and repay as much as $200,000 more on a mortgage. To buy a home in Somerton for $725,000, with $1,000 a month rent from the coach house, a family would need about $145,000 down payment and an additional annual income of about $86,680 before the additional rent to qualify and repay a mortgage of $580,000.
"If you run the numbers of a price of owning a home with renting out (a coach house), it becomes quite practical for a lot of people," Calahan said.
She said the city of Coquitlam approved this project as a bit of a test to see how coach houses could work in the community, but that it is possible there could be more in the future.
As the coach houses are built above the garages, the size of the yard does not change, Calahan said.

Clinical Research
The North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center conducts ongoing research into the best ways to treat burn survivors and assist their recovery. In addition, the Burn Center also works to develop best practices to prevent catastrophic burn events and triage patients when such events do occur.
The Burn Center is committed to conducting ongoing clinical studies through the Burn Clinical Research Group to expand our knowledge of the ways in which the body heals from burn injuries. The group is currently conducting a number of clinical trials, many of which are studies for newer medications and treatments. There are also studies that do not involve medications, but rather involve using samples of blood and other specimens collected with the permission of patients when routine tests or procedures are done to help doctors and researchers learn more about various diseases and/or about our patient population in general.
- Bruce A. Cairns, MD, Principal Investigator
- Samuel W. Jones, MD, Principal Investigator
- Rabia Nizamani, MD, Principal Investigator
- Felicia Williams, MD, Principal Investigator
- Elisabeth Carter, CCRC, Clinical Research Manager
- Paula Anderson, MA, Clinical Research Coordinator
Study coordinators may ask patients to participate in research when they come to the hospital with a burn injury or when they are in clinic. The research group works closely with clinical care teams (doctors, nurses and coordinators) to make research experiences worthwhile. The Burn Center depends on research to continue cutting-edge treatment, and without patients' contributions it would not be possible.
