This was the Phil Mickelson we know and dread, the swashbuckling knucklehead who never saw a sensible shot he couldn't pass up for an impossible one.
On days like Thursday's first round of the U.S. Open, you stare with your jaw hanging open as Mickelson makes bad decision after bad decision, and you find yourself praying that his caddie will grab him by the collar and slap some sense into him. You realize at the same time that's not going to happen, as trying to talk sense to Mickelson is like trying to talk vegetarianism to a shark.
Not that we really want him to be any different. Good, sensible, risk-averse golf is a wonderful concept that works for the majority of the clones on the PGA Tour. And if Mr. Phil played more conservatively, he might have won more majors than the four that he has.
He'd certainly be in better shape to contend at Pebble Beach. His bad decisions and an inability to sink a putt left him five strokes behind the clubhouse leaders. Had he just played the sensible shot on two occasions, he'd probably be just three strokes back.
Lefty's hardly out of it. Nobody is going to run away a hide at Pebble. The last person to do that was Tiger Woods 10 years ago, and that Tiger Woods no longer exists.
But Lefty is 40 years old and the chances of him winning his first U.S. Open are not getting better with the passage of time. Most of the golfers failed to break par Thursday. There's still plenty of time to make up ground.
You just don't want to give shots away, and that's something Mickelson can do with a flair that nobody else can. And if he didn't give strokes away, he wouldn't be Lefty and we wouldn't care enough about him to wonder what in the name of 60-degree lob wedges he's thinking when he tries to pull off a shot that nobody has ever hit before. He wouldn't be the most popular golfer on Tour. He wouldn't be a loveable knucklehead.
The reason Lefty is so popular is that he's so daring, often foolishly so. Lots of golfers can hit trick shots. Mickelson hits them in the most pressurized situations in the game. If caution dictates hitting a wood, he hits driver. If the situation says play for bogey, he tries to hit it through a culvert, over a television tower, around a beer tent and onto a postage-stamp green.
He lost the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot on the final hole because he couldn't hit an easy 3-wood off the tee, and then couldn't bring himself to play for bogey and a playoff, and instead made double bogey and second place.
He tried the same sort of heroic nonsense on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach on Thursday, and had the same kind of non-heroic result. The 18th, as everyone knows, hangs on the cliffs over the Pacific Ocean and is the most spectacular closing hole in golf. It's also one of the most dangerous.
Lefty started out well, aiming right and staying away from the ocean. When he ended up behind two trees, the wise move was to play into the fairway, then onto the green and hope for a one-putt birdie on the par-5 hole. Instead, Mickelson aimed straight at the ocean and hit what he was aiming at. His intention was to work a big old hook around the trees, but the ball wouldn't cooperate and instead crashed into the stone retaining wall and ricocheted halfway to Hawaii.
That put him at 3 over, and another dumb play on No. 4 — his 13th hole — left him at 4-over par for the round.
Par is a great score at the Open, so every other player on the course is hoping to make as many of them as possible. Even Woods plays to take bogey out of the equation whenever he can, particularly in an early round when a tournament can't be won but can be lost.
Mickelson will never accept that, which is why he's so beloved. When he pulls off the miracle, we marvel at the "Wow!" factor he brings to the game. When he tries and fails, as he did Thursday, we are equally impressed with the "D'oh!" factor he also brings.
He has won three Masters and a PGA Championship, so he can do whatever he wants and no one can criticize him for not being a champion. But he'd dearly like to win an Open, and his myriad fans share that desire.
Pebble Beach would be a great place to do it, and it can still happen. But not if the D'ohs outnumber the Wows.

Sandy Saddler
Sandy Saddler (Boxing. Born, Boston, MA, June 23, 1926; died, Bronx, NY, Sept. 18, 2001.) Born Joseph Saddler in Boston, where he also began his pro ring career, Sandy Saddler was a boxing dynamo who fought 162 times in a career stretching from 1944-56 and entered the ring no less than 56 times in the New York metropolitan area. Many of the major fights for which he is best remembered were in New York, where he fought 30 times, including four terrific fights with Willie Pep, which rank among the classics of the ring. Two were held in Madison Square Garden with one each in Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds. Saddler also fought 13 times in Brooklyn, seven times in Newark, three times in Jersey City and once each at the Jamaica Arena, in Union City and Orange, N.J. He won the featherweight title twice in his battles with Pep, first on Oct. 29, 1948, in the Garden with a four-round knockout and again at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 8, 1950, when he knocked out Pep in eight rounds. In between, he lost a 15-round decision to Pep at the Garden (and the title with it) on Feb. 11, 1949. The fourth matchup between these two battlers was at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 26, 1951, when Saddler won on a 10-round technical knockout. He fought several other main events in the Garden, including a spectacular 15-round victory over Teddy Davis on Feb. 25, 1955, in a successful defense of his title. The featherweight champ finally retired with a record of 144-16-2, with 103 KOs.
Nick Sakiewicz
Nick Sakiewicz (Soccer. Born, Passaic, NJ, Jan. 14, 1961.) Rarely in pro sports has a team experienced the dramatic turnaround that the MetroStars effected following the appointment of Nick Sakiewicz as general manager Jan. 13, 2000. Having the worst record in the four-year history of Major League Soccer in 1999 (7-25), the team went 17-12-3 in 2000, making the semifinal round of the playoffs and the U.S. Cup after winning the East Division title. Sakiewicz was able to give new coach Octavio Zambrano increased firepower (particularly with the acquisition of Clint Mathis (q.v.)) and also juggled goalies successfully at the end of the season when regular Mike Ammonn was injured. Sakiewicz was himself a goalie at the University of New Haven (Conn.) and spent some time as a goalie coach. He was also in private business and the M.L.S. office before being named president and general manager of the Tampa Bay Mutiny in 1997. Sakiewicz was the league's "Executive of the Year" in 1999 before returning to his native New Jersey to join the MetroStars. In 2005, he was succeeded as general manager by Alexei Lalas. He later became C.E.O. of the Philadelphia Union, which played its first M.L.S. season in 2010.

Johnny Sample
Johnny Sample (Pro football. Born, Philadelphia, PA, June 15, 1937; died, Philadelphia, PA, Apr. 25, 2005.) A flashy defensive back who played the last three years of his career (1966-68) with the Jets, John Sample had a key interception in the Jets' Super Bowl III upset. Sample thought about retirement before the 1968 season but starred in the secondary with seven interceptions and played his final game in the Super Bowl. His career began in Baltimore in 1958, where he played on two N.F.L. championship teams (1958, 1959) under Weeb Ewbank (q.v.), his future Jets coach. Sample was also with Pittsburgh (1961-62) and Washington (1963-65).

Earl Sande
Earl Sande (Horse racing. Born, Groton, SD, Nov. 13, 1898; died, Jacksonville, OR, Aug. 19, 1968.) During the 1920s, the so-called "Golden Age of American Sports," each major sport had its leading hero. Babe Ruth (baseball), Jack Dempsey (boxing), Bill Tilden (tennis), Bobby Jones (golf), and Red Grange (football) were among the most famous. But none was better known than thoroughbred racing's Earl Sande, the smallest of the greats of that era. Earl H. Sande was the jockey with the biggest name, a name known amongst Americans who knew little else about racing. He became a particular favorite among New Yorkers by winning the Belmont Stakes four times from 1921-1927. Sande then capped off his career with rides that helped the great Gallant Fox to the Triple Crown in 1930, marking only the second time in racing history that feat had been accomplished. (Sir Barton won the Triple Crown in 1919.) Earlier, Sande had ridden Grey Lag (1921), Zev (1923), Mad Play (1924), and Chance Shot (1927) to victory in the Belmont. During his active career, Sande rode 967 winners and won over $3 million in purses, enormous figures for that time in the history of racing. He also rode two Kentucky Derby winners besides Gallant Fox. After his retirement from riding, Sande turned to training horses and was again successful, although perhaps not as much as he was riding. In 1938, he was the nation's leading trainer, training 15 stakes winners who earned $226,445.

Satch Sanders
Satch Sanders (College basketball. Born, New York, NY, Nov. 8, 1938.) After sublimating his game to Cal Ramsey for two years, Thomas Sanders emerged as a senior and led the N.Y.U. Violets to the 1960 Final Four in San Francisco. In 1959-60, Sanders' 577 points eclipsed Ramsey's one-year record, as did his 411 rebounds in 27 games. Sanders also captained the Violets, whose 22-5 record matched the school best for wins (22-4 in 1947-48). At the time, his career three-year totals for points (1,191) and rebounds (923) in 71 games were second-highest (to Ramsey) in N.Y.U. history. Sanders' career field goal shooting (51.6%) is still a school record. From 1960-73, Sanders had a solid career with Boston, playing on eight N.B.A. champions.

Harold Sanderson
Harold Sanderson (Golf. Born, Walton-on-Thames, Eng., Jan. 17, 1903; died, Roanoke, VA, Dec. 31, 2003.) A one-time touring pro, Harold Sanderson was a long-time club professional in the New York area. Sanderson was the head pro at Briarwood Lodge and Sleepy Hollow in Westchester in the 1920s, ran the pro shop at the Hollywood Golf Club in Deal, N.J. (1925-30) and was then head pro at Canoe Brook in Summit, N.J. (1930-67) before retiring. He was also a pro at clubs in Illinois and Pennsylvania, as well as touring briefly but never winning a tournament. Sanderson finished 49th in the 1932 U.S. Open at Fresh Meadows in Flushing won by Gene Sarazen (q.v.). He won the 1959 New Jersey P.G.A. title and six state and national senior tournaments in the 1960s. At the time of his death, Sanderson was the oldest member of the U.S. P.G.A., to which he belonged for 77 years.
Richard Sandomir
Richard Sandomir (Sportswriter. Born, New Hyde Park, NY, Sept. 4, 1957.) Among the first reporters to regularly write on the business side of sports, Richard Elliott Sandomir broke in as a financial reporter for Newsday in April 1982. Almost exactly 10 years later, Sandomir went to The New York Times, where he is a television sports columnist, as well as the main sports business writer. He remained at Newsday until March 1987, when he briefly became a publicist for Bantam Books. In September 1987, he joined the staff of the New York-based Sports, Inc. magazine, which closed in 1989. After a period of freelancing for such publications as Sport magazine, The National sports daily, and Newsday, Sandomir joined The Times.
Giorgio Santelli
Giorgio Santelli (Fencing. Born, Florence, Italy, Nov. 25, 1897; died, Teaneck, NJ, Oct. 8, 1985.) Giorgio Santelli wound up in the United States because his father couldn't be bothered to make the trip. In 1928, Italo Santelli was invited to become the fencing coach of New York Athletic Club in association with James Murray. He decided to send his son who had been a member of the 1920 Italian Olympic gold medal team. Thus, Giorgio Santelli became one of the leading fencing coaches in the U.S., serving not only at the N.Y.A.C., but also the New York Fencers Club and the University Fencers Club. In addition, he founded the George Santelli Fencing Equipment Co., one of the largest suppliers of fencing gear in the country. Santelli's father, who became coach of the Hungarian Olympic team in the 1920s, was credited with revolutionizing the technique in saber. Indeed, Santelli the younger was widely praised for his saber technique in the 1920 Olympics. The Olympic tradition continued for Santelli, who coached the U.S. teams in five straight Olympic Games: 1928, 1932, 1936, 1948 and 1952. Santelli also founded a private school for fencers, Salle Santelli, in Greenwich Village that served as headquarters for dozens of outstanding American fencers and Olympic aspirants. He also brought a perspective, unique at the time, to the sport in that he coached all talented fencers regardless of their race or ethnic background. This opened the way for black fencers in particular, as did his program of conducting free fencing classes in New York schools. In his younger days, he had been the champion fencer in both Hungary and Austria, being acclaimed as one of the great masters of the sport.
Stan Saplin
Stan Saplin (Public address. Born, New York, NY, Jan. 12, 1914; died, New York, NY, Mar. 1, 2002.) One of the most respected figures in the New York sports field, Stanley Saplin became most identified with New York University during his long career. However, he also served such varied organizations as the New York Rangers, the Millrose Games, the Amateur Athletic Union and the old New York Journal-American. Saplin became the publicity director of the Rangers after World War II and created a publication then known as the "Blue Book," which was the first comprehensive annual publication about the team and its history ever produced. It has gone through many changes in the intervening years being known variously as a media guide and a yearbook but it continued to appear annually until the late 2000s. Leaving the Rangers, Saplin joined the Journal-American as a sportswriter and stayed with the paper full-time until 1953 when he returned to N.Y.U. But he continued to write for the Journal-American for many years thereafter, covering a wide variety of events including track and field where he became a nationally-recognized historical authority. Saplin began his public address career on a steady basis in 1959 with the Millrose Games. His voice became synonymous with this greatest of all indoor track meets. He also worked behind the microphone during the National A.A.U. championship indoor meets at the Garden, the U.S. Olympic Trials and the famed Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. He was influential in the creation of the Chronicle of Higher Education and served many years as the sports information director at N.Y.U., as well as its news director and as an advisor to its executives in areas of communications and public service.

Red Sarachek
Red Sarachek (College basketball. Born, The Bronx, NY, Oct. 19, 1912; died, Deerfield Beach, FL, Nov. 14, 2005.) Among the legendary basketball coaches in New York, Bernard Sarachek was considered the finest mind for the offensive game. Sarachek, who played at N.Y.U. (1931-34) as a small guard, was an assistant coach at Manhattan's Stuyvesant H.S. when he was hired to coach Yeshiva by the student basketball organization in 1941. His teams were 202-263 when he retired in 1969 (while continuing as the school's athletic director). Sarachek had very little talent at Yeshiva (though his best team was 16-2), but every game was a clinic, and he was revered by other coaches for his insight. He also coached semipro teams (with greatest artistic success) and partnered with noted referee Lou Eisenstein in a lucrative sporting goods store, Circle Athletics, in Brooklyn.

BRISTOL — Just a few years after a recession-induced slump prompted the closure of several Main Street businesses, downtown Bristol is making a comeback.
This summer marked the opening of Lulu's ice cream shop by the owners of Mary's Restaurant, Danielle Smith's Little Babycakes baby clothing store, and Rory Jackson's painting studio and gallery space.
MIDDLEBURY — Porter Medical Center will enlist the help of its more than 600 employees in finding ways to help reduce its annual energy bill of almost $1 million.
At issue is Porter's participation in a new Efficiency Vermont program that will feature some on-site workshops on what workers can do to reduce power consumption. This will culminate in a contest for the Porter employees who submit the most creative and practical energy-savings tips. Those who submit the top three ideas, as judged by Efficiency Vermont, will receive $50 gift cards to local stores.

MIDDLEBURY — Matt Rigney developed a passion for fishing during many years of solitary angling in a small boat off the coast of Maine.
Along with the thrill of catching some hefty bluefish, striped bass and other species, Rigney learned about what he called the "power of solitude, about what you see when you sit quietly and observe nature."
FERRISBURGH — The Agency of Transportation has pledged within the next several years to put traffic lights at the Ferrisburgh intersection of Route 7 with Little Chicago and Middlebrook roads, which is in the heart of the town's population center and is near Ferrisburgh Central School.
EAST MIDDLEBURY — A wayward black bear cub was perched on a tree just off of Route 125 between East Middlebury and Ripton for two days last week.
"It drew a lot of attention," said Dick Collitt of the Ripton Country Store. "People were stopping. It was a circus down there for a couple of days."
MONKTON — Members of the Development Review Board came to no final decisions on a contentious 39.5 acre gravel production site off of Monkton Road when they held a public hearing this past Tuesday.
The focus of the hearing, according to DRB Chair Peter Close, was over whether a rock quarry would be permitted under Monkton law and "the definition of gravel."
BRISTOL — Senior forward Sarah Heffernan scored 1:43 into overtime on Friday to give the No. 3 Mount Abraham Union High School field hockey team a 1-0 victory over visiting No. 6 Woodstock in a Division II quarterfinal.
That win propelled the 10-4-1 Eagles into a Wednesday semifinal showdown with No. 2 U-32 (14-1) at Middlebury College. The final will be played at the University of Vermont on Saturday at a time to be announced.
MIDDLEBURY — On Friday it became official: 2012 is the best season for the Middlebury Union High School boys' soccer program since the 1970s.
And after the top-seeded Tigers' 3-0 win over No. 9 St. Johnsbury in a Division I quarterfinal, the program is two victories — granted in games that no one in Chittenden County will expect the 14-1 Tigers to win — away from the school's first soccer title.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University women's basketball team (12-5, 7-3 PBC) was slotted at No. 8 in the first NCAA Division II Women's Southeast Region Poll released this season Wednesday (Jan. 28).
Three other teams representing the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) are ranked in the Southeast Region poll with Francis Marion University at No. 2, USC Aiken and Clayton State University at five and six respectively.
The Bobcats, despite being 12-5 on the season are only 9-5 in the poll due to the NCAA not counting NAIA opponents in which Georgia College defeated University of Mobile and Tougaloo College. The poll also does not include the game from last night (Jan. 28) as the poll was released earlier that day.
Eight teams from each of the eight regions make the NCAA tournament. The three conference winners receive automatic bids leaving five at-large bids from each region.
The USA Today ESPN Division II Top 25 Poll was released Tuesday (Jan. 27). The 'Cats are still receiving votes but have yet to make the jump into the nation's best. Georgia College improved from two votes a week ago to seven.
The Bobcats host PBC foe, Augusta State University, Saturday Jan. 31 at 2 p.m.

While he has now mastered all the basic skills he'll need in life - walking, running, climbing, jumping, throwing, pedalling, catching - he will now focus on fine-tuning these skills, along with developing some party tricks of his own such as handstands or cartwheels. The ability to run fast, ride fast, hit a ball with a bat hard, or throw a ball far may be important to him as his peer group will tend to give children with these abilities a higher status.
At this age, he will have high energy levels and he will:
- be able to ride a two wheeler bike without training wheels
- enjoy climbing
- enjoy learning to swim
- have strong ball skills - he will be able to catch and throw confidently
- be able to draw a picture of a house and will include the garden and sky
How can I encourage his physical development?
- Provide him with simple building kits, children's tool kits, dolls and opportunities for playing in cubby houses.
- Encourage your child to play games involving bats and balls.
- Take a footy to the park and have a kick with him.
- Let him help you in the kitchen with simple recipes that he can follow.
- Join him up to a local sporting club.

BBC's Watchdog: "Banks Still Denying Claims From Consumers"Anne Robinson from BBC's Watchdog says, "Banks are denying customers compensation - and are turning down wholly legitimate claims by the thousands".
Fiona Phillips, also from Watchdog, commented "When judging PPI claims, they are not always right - in reality some banks appear strangely reluctant to part with their money despite all their promises to compensate". She continued, "Getting your money back can be remarkably difficult. The banks are failing spectacularly to put things right".
The Chief Ombudsman added that "Some banks even say that the customer never had PPI in the first place, but when we ask a few more questions we find that actually about a quarter of the customers did have PPI"
This Is Why You Should Use A Claim CompanyThe Financial Times Adviser has commented on why 100's of thousands of people use claim companies instead of going direct to the lender: "It all comes down to the fact that when customers had complaints they were often fobbed off or met with tactics designed to grind them into submission. Or they simply found the miss-selling claims procedure too complex to handle on their own."

If there's one thing we know about reviving dinosaurs for a theme park, it's that it all starts with something encased in amber.
Dr. John Hammond in the film Jurassic Park resurrects the dinosaurs with a sample of blood from a mosquito. Who knows what he could do with this: A 99-year-old feathered dinosaur tail, which was recently discovered in a Myanmar market.
The amber is "roughly the size of an apricot" and "captures one of the Earliest moments of differentiation between the feathers of birds of flight and the feathers of dinosaurs." Though, because of these feathers, the dinosaur was probably unable to fly. This means scientists could actually see the color of the tail, which was "described as chestnut brown with a pale or white underside."
Of course, up until now, we had thought that discovering something in amber was the first step toward opening a theme park of dinosaurs and getting your grandchildren attacked by a velociraptor or something. But we do we know, we just saw Jurassic Park. It's not like that makes you an expert in dino attacks and how to prevent them.
Like many of these types of amber, this one was actually meant to be sold as jewelry. This was just one of two dozen purchased from a Myanmar market. Lisa Xing of the China University of Geoscience, who led the research, told National Geographic that because conflicts between the Myanmar government and the Kachin Independence Army are "nearing end," the Hukawng Valley, where these ambers are found, will open up and more discoveries can be made.
"Maybe we can find a complete dinosaur." he said.
And all we can do is watch in horror as this paleontologist casually begins a Jurassic Park scenario that we're all destined to become wrapped up in.

Don't you wonder what would life be like if we have a reset option? Well this guide is not about life but it does come close. This article is about how you can factory reset your Android device and make it just like the day it was purchased.
Android's strongest point is its Google Play app store. There are literally thousands of epic apps and games which you can download and enjoy. The worst thing is that many of the awesome apps are completely free. I recently bought a 64 GB SD card because the 32 GB internal memory was filled to the brim with apps and games.
Unfortunately there comes a time when your Android gets bogged down by some apps. You could use the app killers for Android but those are kind of hard to use, especially if you have a ton of apps to kill. Thankfully Google knows that when such a time arrives, you should be able to wipe the slate clean and start over.
This option of deleting everything from the device and starting fresh is called factory reset. It's called that because the device is returned to the form when it was freshly baked in the factory.
Naturally when you get a new device there is absolutely nothing on it. Well apart from the ugly bloatware from your manufacturer and essential apps from Google there is nothing else on it. This how to factory reset your Android device guide will completely wipe the traces of usage from your phone. On some phones your pictures and data might also be lost but in most cases it remains on the phone.
I would recommend that you back up important data before embarking on the how to factory reset your Android device guide. I would also suggest keeping the files on your PC for better protection and safekeeping.
Must Read: Slow Android Phone – What Causes It and How To Fix It
Go to Settings
Go to the app drawer and locate the settings icon. Tap on that to enter your device settings. It will look something like this.
From that screen, click on the General tab. You will be able to see options like these. The options will vary from device to device but generally they are placed at the same place. OEMs (Original Electronic Manufacturers) like to put their own personal skin on top of stock Android so your device might have a slightly different layout.
The Real Work
Now locate the option called Backup and Reset. Tap on it to access further options.
Now you can see that Factory Data reset option. You know what to do right? Click on it like usual.
The device will give you information about what will be deleted from your phone. I highly recommend that you re-read all that data. This way if you are missing something it will be reminded.
From there you can simply click on the Reset Device button. The device will take a few minutes to sort things out and factory reset your Android operating system. Keep in mind that the device might reboot after the wipe, so do not panic.
Wipe External SD Card
If you want you can go back to the general tab in the settings and locate Storage.
This feature allows you to see what is on your device and what is taking up all that space. Scroll down to find the Format SD Card option.
Click on it and everything will be wiped from your SD card as well.
Now you will have a completely fresh Android at your disposal. If the hardware is working perfect, the device will seem just like it was taken out of the box. If you faced crashes or suspicious data usage, it will be gone now. I highly recommend that you use this built-in feature of Android before selling off your Android device. It is highly important that you do not keep any sensitive data on your Android device if you are aiming to sell it soon. If you have any questions or problems about this short guide, feel free to type them in the comments below.

ELKTON, Md. (AP) — Officials in Cecil County say all roads are open, but drivers are nonetheless being urged to avoid travel unless necessary.
County officials say 10 people have sought shelter at Rising Sun High School, where the American Red Cross will serve hot meals.
Extra police and medic units will be working shifts, military liaison personnel are also assigned to the county, and two swift-water rescue teams are en route from South Carolina and are expected to arrive Monday morning.

Paige it is just perfect. Your photography is so wonderful I envy your clients. When you decide to do a photo road trip to the west, count us in. Love Brinkley in your shots.

Paige, it's lovely. I wouldn't change a thing. I really love the picture of the lady with the camera. Thanks for sharing your special space.

Have you seen these jewelry trees on etsy? I got a really large one a few years ago now for Christmas, it is like a beautiful sculpture in its own right. Would look great in your LOVELY workroom to hang some noonday items.
Smart idea and great studio!!! I just wonder where you have bought your journals... Would die for one of those. It might not be available in Norway, where I live, but perhaps on Amazon???

Well this has inspired me to just be me and put out what I love and what is truly me. LOVE the framed card or print of the photographer lady. so cool! And I have that yellow journal from Anthro. I use it to write the things in it that God is speaking to my heart. Oh and I love your book collection as well. Everything just works together so well. Enjoy it in there. Oh and to picture you sitting there listening to the birdies and feeling the gentle breeze. PERFECTION! Well this comment is rather long isn't it??? Guess I'm making up for lost time. ;)

I think it is perfect
and I love that you
are going to let it
evolve [great word,

Sweden Insists On Fire Alarms On Hotel Made Of Ice
from the that's-cold,-man dept
In these highly charged political times, you tend to hear the term "nanny state" thrown around quite a bit. Whether it's the mayor of a major US city lovingly playing psy-ops with citizens on vices like cigarettes and soda, or an otherwise sane nation keeping its citizens safe from the horrors of accurately depicted street view maps, the general impression is that the government in question doesn't think enough of its own people to allow them to live out their lives as they choose. And, while a simple stroll down the street might cause me to have some sympathy with their premise, most of us tend not to believe that our governments should be in the business of social-engineering our free choices (even though that's essentially the business they're in).
But sometimes a nanny state action moves beyond the mildly frustrating and into the realm of the hilarious. Reader btr1701 writes in about one such instance, in which the government of Sweden is engaging in some manner of performance art on the silliness of over-regulation by the government.
Sweden's Ice Hotel has been ordered by the National Housing Board to install fire alarms, despite being made completely out of frozen water. The Ice Hotel, which is rebuilt every year in northern Sweden out of enormous chunks of ice from the Torne River in Jukkasjärvi, Kiruna, will this year come equipped with fire alarms – and the irony isn't lost on the staff.Now, before your laughter at the concept of a hotel made completely out of ice being forced to install fire alarms reaches shart-inducing levels, it should be noted that some of the decorations in the hotel are not made of ice and could conceivably catch fire. On the other hand, one would assume that such a fire wouldn't be able to spread all that much, what with it being surrounded by ice and all. There might be some minor concerns about a small fire melting the ice-based construction and bringing the whole thing crashing down I suppose, but I'm of the belief that if you're planning on staying in a hotel made of ice, you probably know the risk of that happening anyway. Or you want to punish yourself, in which case a collapse would only be helping you out.
"We were a little surprised when we found out," hotel spokeswoman Beatrice Karlsson told The Local.
Regulations exist for a reason, but their blanket-style approach highlights their rigidity when an ice-house needs a fire alarm.

Post by Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub
Sous les cerisiers" – and Nikka Whisky and it includes the following: aubergine fritters, stuffed with chicken and nuts, prepared with Nikka From the Barrel; macha soba with salmon and raisins macerated in Taketsuru 12; foie gras maki with Miyagikyo 10; and for dessert, mochi with milk-chocolate and apple cooked in Nikka Coffey Grain. It's a seasonal thing, obviously, (available until the end of the month) so for those lucky enough to be in Paris, this is one opportunity not to be missed. Nonjatta will be spending the summer in France – exploring its calvados and whisky (yes, don't laugh!) culture, among other things – and "Sous les cerisiers" is one of the places we'll be checking out on our travels. And even though this "La Bento Box by Nikka" won't be available anymore by then, we're sure there'll be new marvels to try.

Starting Tuesday, certain businesses and homes with so-called "subsidized rates" will be subject to increases to their flood insurance costs through reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Starting Tuesday, certain businesses and homes with so-called "subsidized rates" will be subject to increases to their flood insurance costs through reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program.
The changes are part of the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012 and are the subject of much consternation among local officials, though the increases going into effect Tuesday will not have as great an effect on residents of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes as other reform provisions.
If the owner of a property bought flood insurance before the parish approved its first flood map, the building is considered to have a subsidized rate.
Lafourche passed its first flood maps in 1974. Terrebonne approved its first maps in 1970 and Houma in 1973.
Properties built before then are known as "pre-FIRM" and have paid a what the Federal Emergency Management Agency considers a "subsidized rate." Both parishes have since accepted news maps and numerous revisions.
Information provided by local officials show there are 155 businesses with subsidized rates in Lafourche and 191 in Terrebonne.
Subsidized rates on commercial properties, properties that have had flood claims exceeding the property value and structures not insured when Biggert-Waters was enacted in July last year will also be subject to increases.
For these buildings, the cost will increase by 25 percent annually until the rates reflect full risk. In Lafourche and Terrebonne, full risk is calculated by considering the building's elevation relative to FEMA's prescribed elevation on the latest flood maps accepted.
A one-story home with $200,000 in structural coverage and $100,000 for its contents in the most common flood zone and built at FEMA's prescribed height will pay about $1,745 annually. The same home elevated 4 feet above the prescribed height will pay about $513 annually.
The rates increase significantly for structures below FEMA's elevation requirements. That one-story home, for example, would cost $5,115 annually if built 1 foot below the still-undetermined elevation standards, $8,064 if built 3 feet below and $14,308 if built 6 feet below, the new guidelines say.
These rates use a typical home value and typical flood zone, but are not necessarily indicative of rates for commercial properties. Homes differ in value, flood zone and classification, so an insurance agent can best give specific projections, local officials stressed.
Property-owners will not see the increases immediately. However they will be imposed when the insurance policy is renewed.
With formerly subsidized rates now being tied to the most current maps, some property owners in other parishes could be facing substantial increases.
But Lafourche and Terrebonne have both appealed recently presented maps, putting them in a relatively better position than some places, said Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet.
The most current maps in Lafourche and Terrebonne were locally approved more than 20 years ago, meaning FEMA's prescribed height is in many places going to be lower than what it will be when new maps are accepted, said North Lafourche Levee District Director Dwayne Bourgeois.
Pre-FIRM structures that have a lapsed policy will move to the full-risk rates immediately upon purchasing insurance as of Tuesday.

This site will be used to document my travels and escapades as an airline pilot (including lots of video and pics) as well as other aviation themed posts. This site will also be used to promote charitable organizations for airline pilots.
Save the Pilots
I have a pretty good idea of what I am looking for but am open to just about anything unique. I would like to see a design that incorporates the letters S T P and the site SaveThePilots.com. An oval design similar to the STP oil product company with the T stretched slightly above and below the S and P to facilitate an airplane top view of sorts, the top of the T being the wings. Regardless, the logo should incorporate a jet aircraft. I would like to see a glass button or 3-D effect for the oval design. Colors could be dark reds or blues.
- Must have the letters S T P
- Must have SavethePilots or the full SaveThePilots.com
- An airplane in the design
- A simplified version for social media use
- Anything to cartoony

We work hard at this twice-weekly to keep our readers informed about goings-on in Addison County. That means talking to people face-to-face or by phone, or hearing from them at meetings.
But there are times we can't get to a meeting, so we have to follow up by phone with the people who are affected and the sources we have cultivated over the years.
It's a formula that usually works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Every spring, in anticipation of my vegetable garden, I forget an important point: Gardening is neither easy nor particularly enjoyable.
Don't believe those dreamers who insist that growing vegetables is a spiritually transforming experience. Sure, we all have those brief moments of awe when a bean seedling first breaks through the concrete crust of Addison County clay. And who doesn't swoon over the taste of a juicy, just-picked tomato, still warm from the afternoon sun?
Whatever. Most of the time, gardening is the pits.
ADDISON COUNTY — The spring of 2012 proved to be solid across the board for the local high school softball teams. Vergennes surged to a 14-5 record and a berth in the Division II semifinals, while the other three squads played well enough to earn home playoff games.
The local high school sports year began the same way it always does in August, with students sweating on steamy fields.
On Saturday, it ended the way athletes, parents and fans dream about: Vergennes pitcher Devin Hayes struck out the final Missisquoi batter in the Division II final and raised his arms in triumph. The stands erupted in cheers, and his teammates raced to the mound and buried him in a mound of blue and gray uniforms.
BRIDPORT — Sen. Harold Giard, D-Bridport, who has represented Addison County and Brandon in the state senate for the past eight years, will not seek a fifth consecutive term in the state's highest chamber this November.
Giard confirmed this news during an interview with the Addison Independent late Wednesday afternoon. He said his decision was made out of respect for Vermont's citizen Legislature and out of a desire to allow someone else to serve in a role he has found so fulfilling during the past eight years.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran has test-fired a new, more accurate short-range missile capable of striking land and sea targets, it said on Saturday, a show of strength that underscored its ability to hit shipping in the Strait of Hormuz if attacked.
Israel has said it is considering military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites if the Islamic Republic does not resolve Western fears it is developing atomic weapons technology, something Tehran denies.
Iran says it could hit Israel and U.S. bases in the region if it comes under attack. It has also threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, the neck of the Gulf through which 40 percent of the world's sea-borne oil exports pass.
"With the fourth generation of the Fateh 110, the armed forces of our country are able to target and destroy land and sea targets, enemy headquarters ... missile seats, ammunition sites, radars and other points," Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said in quotes carried by the official IRNA news agency.
The missile has a range of around 300 km (180 miles), meaning it could strike Iran's immediate neighbors and might also be able to hit Hormuz shipping, as well as energy facilities in Saudi Arabia and the U.S. fifth fleet in Bahrain.
Such moves would risk a military response from the United States.
"Using new guidance methods, target-striking systems were installed on the missiles and during the flight test ... its ability to hit the target without deviation was proven," Vahidi said, according to IRNA.
"In future programs, all future missiles built by the Defense Ministry will be equipped with this capability," he added.
Iran has made "robust strides" in developing its ballistic missile capabilities, the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies wrote in a 2010 assessment which also said that Iran's arsenal suffered from poor accuracy.
All of Tehran's ballistic missiles would be capable of carrying a nuclear payload, the IISS said.
Last month, Iran said it had successfully test-fired medium-range missiles capable of hitting Israel, and tested dozens of missiles aimed at simulated air bases.
It conducted what it called the "Great Prophet 7" missile exercises at the start of July as a European Union embargo on Iranian crude oil took full effect.
Those sanctions, in addition to measures against Iranian banks and U.S. efforts to persuade countries around the world to cut economic ties with Iran are aimed at forcing the Islamic Republic to make concessions on the nuclear work it says is for purely peaceful ends.
"The test firing of the missile is most likely to be a warning to the West and Iran's Persian Gulf neighbors that Iran too can escalate the level of tensions in the Persian Gulf area," said Meir Javedanfar, Iran expert at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel.
Bruno Gruselle, senior research fellow at the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris, said any improvements in the accuracy of Iran's short-range missiles might be a precursor to better long-range ones.
"Fateh is a very short range guided rocket and a good platform to test improved guidance," he said. "They will have to take that to longer range systems which have very different mechanical constraints during their flight, but they will obviously work on that."
Vahidi said the missile was intended as a defensive weapon. "These capabilities are defensive and would only be used against aggressors and those who threaten the country's interests and territorial integrity," he said.
The former head of Israel's intelligence service Mossad Efraim Halevy on Thursday said on Israel Radio he "would be very worried about the next 12 weeks," if he were Iranian.

Law and Public Policy: Issues in Implementation
Law School
Recommended for route(s):
[ Regulatory & Policy ] Public Interest Law: General
Why it is relevant for ...
[ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Public Policy : Policy lawyers, in particular, need to understand how to fashion rules that can be implemented effectively. This course offers current examples from many arenas of regulation, as well as new program initiatives in social services. For example, an understanding of current market-based programs that monitor the delivery of services will be useful to lawyers interested in public-private sector partnerships to serve the public good.
General course Description:
(Same as PUBLPOL 236 and EDUC 336A) This seminar will focus on issues related to achieving successful implementation of the goals of legislation. It is widely recognized that the goals of legislation often are not realized and that the failure frequently rests in breakdowns in the implementation process by the agencies and organizations charged with implementing the legislation. In response to problems in implementation, the institutional context of public policy implementation is changing. One category of innovations, known by names such as "management-based regulation" and "evidence-based" social service delivery, gives broad discretion to street-level service providers but subjects them to intensive monitoring and disciplined performance comparison. Another category applies market concepts to regulation or social services, for example, by creating tradeable rights (e.g., pollution allowances) or vouchers (for schools, housing, or healthcare). These, and other, new approaches are affecting both the contours of public law doctrine and the nature of lawyering in the public sector. Lawyers in the public sector are increasingly drawing on skills of institutional design and monitoring of the kind associated with private sector transactional practice. The seminar will examine some of the emerging general themes of innovative policy implementation and look at a range of case studies. Topics will include the conditions under which financial and other rewards and sanctions are useful in bringing about desired behaviors, the pluses and minuses of the creation of markets as alternatives to government run programs, and efforts at improving implementation by improving management activities. Examples will be taken from both regulation and social services, and are likely to include environmental protection, education, child protective services, healthcare. food and workplace safety, nuclear power safety, and regulation of financial institutions.
Course Style: A Substantive/ Perspective course looks at law from an external or non-traditional standpoint.

Two dead, thousands evacuated after floods hit Calgary
Overflowing rivers inundated communities throughout southern Alberta Friday, washing out roads and bridges, soaking homes and turning streets into dirt-brown waterways. (June 21) AP
Up to four dead after rain and melting snow caused flooding throughout southern Alberta.
Flooding in western Canada on Friday left at least two people dead and forced the evacuation of downtown Calgary and several towns in southern Alberta,after days of rain and melting mountain snow inundated major rivers.
The two victims are two men whose bodies were spotted floating in the Highwood River near High River on Thursday.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper toured the affected area and said officials do not know if the flooding will worsen.
"I don't think any of us have seen anything like this before," Harper said. "The magnitude is just extraordinary."
Although 230,000 people typically work in the city's core on Fridays, officials said the majority did not show up, CTV reported.
The city's iconic sports area, the Saddledome, which is to host the annual Calgary Stampede in two weeks, had water up to the 10th row, as the Bow River continued to rise.
The Elbow River has crested, said Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi.
"The good news is that it is slowly reducing. We have peaked, and we are seeing a slow decrease," he said, adding the fiver could rise again because of a surge in flow.
More than two dozen Calgary neighborhoods were evacuated, and several were submerged. Authorities predicted that up to 100,000 people might be forced out of their homes in the city of 1 million residents, which hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Officials said the evacuation would take place in stages over the next few days.
As of Friday afternoon, about 1,500 residents were in emergency shelters, the mayor said, with the majority of others staying with relatives or friends.
The city zoo was under several feet of water, and animals were moved to higher ground or relocated.
A state of emergency was declared in a large area south of Calgary after floodwaters washed out bridges and roads in 12 towns. The Trans-Canada Highway was closed, and the mountain resort towns of Banff and Canmore were isolated.
Motorists who were trapped overnight Wednesday by water spilling over Canada's main western highway had to be rescued by helicopter, Town of Canmore spokeswoman Sally Caudill said.
"I woke up at about 3 o'clock in morning to the sound of this kind of rumbling, and it was the creek," said Wade Graham, a resident of Canmore. "At first it was just intense, pretty powerful, amazing thing to watch. As daylight came, it just got bigger and bigger and wider and wider, and it's still getting bigger and bigger and wider and wider."
He added, "I watched a refrigerator go by; I watched a shed go by; I watched couches go by. It's insane."
Bruce Burrell, director of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, said water levels on the Bow River aren't expected to subside until Saturday afternoon. The Bow River Basin already has been battered with up to 100 mm (3.9 inches) of rain.
"Depending on the extent of flooding we experience overnight, there may be areas of the city where people are not going to be able to get into until the weekend," he told a news conference.
In High River, Mounties asked people with motorboats to help rescue at least a dozen stranded homeowners.
"We have people on their rooftops who were unable to evacuate fast enough," said RCMP Sgt. Patricia Neely.
Environment Canada issued a rainfall warning for the affected areas, estimating as much as 100 millimeters more rain could fall in the next two days.

HUD highlights system changes regarding third-party origination
The Department of Housing and Urban Development today hosted a webinar to guide lenders through changes in data requirements associated with originating a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration through a sponsored originator. A sponsored originator is a third party underwriter, outsourced by a lender to specifically take care of the origination process. Sponsored originators are not FHA-approved individuals, but instead work with lenders who are approved by the FHA. Although they originate FHA-backed loans, they are not granted access to any FHA non-public systems, including the FHA Connection for example. HUD updated its many of its online systems to incorporate features regarding sponsored originators. For example, there is now a maintenance page with a list of active sponsored originators that lenders can use as an outsourcing tool. Originators on that list have no jurisdiction and can therefore be ordered to a case anywhere in the country. If an originator that a lender wants to use is not on the list, they can add him. Information such as the originator's nine-digits employer identification number, contact information and their company name are required to register. The originator's National Multiple Listing Service number can be entered, but is not required. Originators must be registered on the maintenance page to be eligible for work as a sponsored originator for an FHA loan. An originator is ineligible if their status has been terminated by HUD. HUD revised form 92900A by adding additional fields with respect to sponsored originators. If a lender is using a sponsored originator, they must use the revised form which includes additional fields to specify the originator's company, identification numbers and name. The FHA Connection, a government website that connects FHA-approved lenders directly and securely with business partners, has also adapted to the use of sponsored originators. In building a loan case file, lenders must provide the above listed information. If the case is already made, the information fields will automatically be filled in upon reopening the case file. If a lender wants to switch to or from employing a sponsored originator, they must use the 'case transfer' option. They cannot make that change from within the case file. The HUD scorecard is now updated to version 2.3, which scores loan requests based on new mitigation factors. The webinar gave no other details about the score requirements, except that loans that need to be reevaluated will be scored according to the new guidelines. All policy changes are set to go into effect Oct. 4 and apply to loans originated on or after that date. The webinar spokespeople made an important note that rules to loan correspondent and the loan agent programs will not changed. After Jan. 1, 2011, the loan correspondent program will no longer be available. Sponsored origination will become the replacement system. Write to Christine Ricciardi.

Soups Recipes
Canh Chua Ca (Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Fish and Pineapple Soup)
Can chua cá literally means sour fish soup in Vietnamese.The composition of the soup is the Vietnamese equivalent of tom yum Thai soup. The sour flavor is from the kaffir lime leaf and tamarind powder and the sweetness is from the crushed pineapple.
Recently, I made this soup for our dinner guests. I served it with a side bowl of steamed jasmine rice. At the end of the meal, I was surprised to see all the bowls completely empty, given that the flavors are somewhat unusual. But they seemed to love it, so I'm guessing you might as well.

Vegetarian Pho (Pho Chay)
I made some beef pho again today -check out the new photo, I've just updated the post- and I felt like making a phở chay, vegetarian rice noodle soup for the rest of the family. The only extra work for pho chay, in addition to the beef pho (for the carnivores at home) is to fry some silken tofu and make the vegetarian broth.
Lulu, my husand, has been begging me to find Vegemite. I finally found some. It brings back good ol' memories from my trips to England as a child. Believe me, it tastes no different than Marmite. Vegemite is a combination of yeast byproduct and vegetable flavorings, and if you've never had it, it sort of has the taste of beef boullion cubes. Vegemite is not only great as a spread on a piece of bread, but can be a tasty addition to vegetable broth. Though not traditional, I used a bit in my pho broth to give it a more complex flavor.

Tarragon Sweet Potato Roast Bell Pepper Soup
I recently posted the garlic parmesan bread. Per Anna's request, this is the recipe of the tarragon sweet potato roast bell pepper. It's a very soothing soup, especially when you are as sick as I am today. It's my version of comfort food. But don't wait until the next time you have a cold. It's super easy to make, so try it out tonight!
I roasted the sweet potatoes to bring out their natural sweetness. And of course, I added some heavy cream to give it a richer mouth feel. It's always nice to infuse a strong herb into a soup, and I chose tarragon for its peppery and sweet liquorice flavor. I have a ton in my garden; it's an easy to grow perennial, and if you're looking for something to add to you herb garden, tarragon is a great choice.

Pho Bo Tai Nam (The Perfect Vietnamese Beef Rice Noodle Soup)
Gooooood morning, Vietnam! Phở is the National Vietnamese food. Phở bò tái nạm is a beef broth served with rice noodles and tender, thin pieces of flank steak flavored with traditional Vietnamese spices. It's one of my favorite Asian soups. When I visited Saigon 10 years ago, I remember having a big bowl of phở for breakfast! It's as good in the morning as it is for lunch and dinner. I think it's THE best street food in the world. Oh and it's pronounced "fuh" like the beginning of the word "fudge".
OK. Here goes... I might get in big trouble for handing out this recipe. I got it from my Tatie Danielle (aunt) who, unlike the one in the French comedy classic, is a sweetheart and an amazing cook, except that she does not share her recipes. She used to run a restaurant in the early 90s. She doesn't know the existence of this site yet and she's not very computer literate, so I hope that keeps me safe. At any rate, I figure I can't call myself a femme fatale if I don't do a little bit of recon and intel gathering. Shhh...
If - like me - you're a fan of Anthony Bourdain, you might be interested to know that Pho is one of his favorite dishes. Tony, this pho is for you .

Vegetarian Tom Yum Thai Soup
Today was a very cold and rainy day in Northern California. The Asian New Year is coming but I don't think the family is going to attend any of the festivities because of the weather. A couple of the girls are sick and I thought a warm broth would do them good.
Thai soup is a very good first course if you want to do an Asian-themed dinner. It's light and very tasty. The soup is an amazing contrast of spicy, sweet, savory and sour flavors. Enjoy!
