IT'S full steam ahead for Portsmouth's future, as next year will see the city's port busier with cruise ships than ever before.
More people will be using the city to start and end their cruises in 2013, as well as visiting on day trips.
It means that plans to invest millions on improving the city's infrastructure and shopping and building hotels, should pay off as more people come to stay.
Among those visitors will be passengers on board Wind Surf, the world's largest sailing ship.
Her visit will be one of 50 cruise ship visits next year, an increase of 43 per cent.
Port manager Martin Putman said 'What's great is that 90 per cent of them are repeat customers, a sure sign that once operators discover what we have to offer they keep coming back for more.'
That's thanks in part to work that has been done on the port's layout, and not least its new terminal building.
Mike Hancock, who as cabinet member for planning, regeneration and economic development for Portsmouth City Council, works with the port's management, said: 'This is brilliant news.
'It's not just people coming into Portsmouth for day trips – more people will be starting and finishing their journeys here, which means they might need to stay overnight, and spend some time in Portsmouth and south Hampshire.'
The port's increasing appeal fits into the council's plan to regenerate the city.
During the next few years the Northern Quarter shopping centre in Commercial Road should be open and plans are afoot by Gunwharf Quays owner Land Securities and Bouyges Development to regenerate The Hard.
There are also plans to make the roads in the city better able to handle traffic moving around the island, especially towards the southern end.
And there are conversations between the port and the Ministry of Defence over getting more land freed up so the port would be able to take larger liners.
Cllr Hancock added: 'That would be fantastic for the city's future.'
Next week around 2,000 people are due to visit the port for the launch of a new cruise ship, when Voyages of Discovery will be officially naming its newest ship Voyager in a ceremony at the port.

It's almost I-do time!
But first, hundreds of people—everyone except Donald Trump, really—have to be shuttled from the Montecito Country Club and surrounding hotels to the private estate where Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries will be tying the knot this evening.
CaseGlobal security trucks were parked in the country club parking lot and outside the estate as of this morning, while guards equipped with ear pieces and microphones were posted around the perimiter. At least three iPhone and flipcam metal detectors were set up in the club lot under a white tent.
ADT J/ GSI Media
A white Rolls Royce and a white Jaguar—very fine transportation for members of a wedding party, if you ask us—also gathered in the club parking lot with several large black charter buses before they took off for their respective pick-up destinations earlier in the afternoon.
One bus loaded with guests took off from the Bacara Resort & Spa in Montecito-adjacent Santa Barbara at about 5:15 p.m., though Lindsay Lohan had already opted for her own car and driver.
The bride-to-be, of course, was way ahead of all these folks. Kim, wearing a white track suit with "Mrs. Humphries" stitched over her chest, and Kourtney Kardashian were spotted getting picked up from the Four Seasons Biltmore in a white Rolls Royce around noon.
Of course, those ladies had quite a bit more to do.
Black cloth was draped over the address plaques outside the estate, just in case passersby hadn't yet figured out why golf carts shuttling supplies and a Classic Party Rentals truck were entering the gates throughout the day and last night.
The weather is clear but helicopters are out of luck: Several ginormous white balloons are tethered by cables around the grounds to keep the privacy in and the shutterbugs out.

Snowboard Review: 11-12 Never Summer Infinity
25 Jul, 2011
Location: Mammoth, CA
Snow Conditions: Mixture of hardpacked icy conditions to soft packed slushy conditions.
Setup: I rode the Never Summer Infinity with my Union Team bindings and Vans Veil Boots size 8.
Size: 154cm.
First Impression: Continues to be the women's SL – ride anything board
Weight: average.
Flex: The Never Summer Infinity is NS's all mountain freestyle board for women and the flex matches that, it's a medium flex board. Not soft, not stiff – just in the middle of the two. Torsional soft between the bindings which gives it a quick responsive flex and longitudinally stiffer from nose to tail. Stiffer nose that lets it charge and ride through choppy conditions and a softer tail that helps give it some freestyle fun. The Infinity features RC technology which is reverse camber, rocker and camber, rocker between the feet and camber just outside of the bindings.
Turning: Whether you want short or long radius turns, the Infinity does both without issues. The softer torsional flex helps for responsive short radius turns and the longitudinal flex from nose to tail gives it the stability for long drawn out turns. The vario grip helps on edgehold for the hardpacked icy days.
Stable: It was really good to be riding the 154cm size for the Infinity, definitely more my style and handling on the mountain was more stable. The conditions were mostly spring conditions, hardpacked in the morning and softer slushyness in the afternoon, the Infinity did fine on both. The vario grip helped for the icy hardpacked days and in the slush, the dampening on the board helped it cut through and not be bounced around.
Pop: The infinity can handle park riding and the jumps are a blast on it. Good pop and the softer tail for pressing makes it very capable of park laps.
Switch: The Infinity is a directional twin, the flex is twin but it's setback with the sidecut and stance so there is some adjustment but you get used to it quickly. I've ridden the board enough that it feels fine riding switch, still forgiving in the handling.
Overall Impression: The infinity is the women's SL and a good all mountain board for a female rider. It's on the intermediate side for women but it's a board you can grow into and develop with. It's not as stiff or aggressive as the lotus and it's not as soft and freestyle as the pandora.
Shay's Honesty Box: It didn't feel like anything changed in the NS Infinity for 11-12, it's still that all mountain freestyle board for women. I happen to enjoy a stiffer flex so I spend most of the winter on my NS Lotus but the Infinity is a great board for an upcoming all mountain rider.

Hi Shay,
I have been riding a Rome Blue for the last 6 years or so and absolutely love my board, it's great for speed, playing in the powder, trees and steeps but I am considering getting a new board and was just wondering how the NS Lotus compared to the Blue? This season I also spent a little more time than I usually do in the park and would really like a little more flex on my new board as the Blue's a little stiff when trying to lift the nose/tail however, I don't really want to compromise on the quality of the Blue. I was also wondering how the Infinity compared to the Blue? Are the Lotus and Infinity lighter and more flexible than the Blue? I will always favour powder over the park but I am wanting to try a few more tricks so I probably do need a little more flex with the new board however saying that, I don't really want to find I get a new board and am disappointed when it comes to riding powder/steeps.

Hey Shay! I am currently in a dilemma between the Never Summer Infinity, or the Pandora. I'm an intermediate rider, and starting to learn park. I already have a Roxy Ollie Pop that is perfect for the hard pack/slush we get in Virginia, and does okay in the more fluffy stuff elsewhere. Which board do you think would be better for learning to progress in the park, and still being able to ride in most other conditions mountains can throw at you? I'm 5'6 and 140 lbs, and I notice the Pandora only goes up to a 149…I usually ride around that size but have been considering bumping up to the next biggest one (which means I would have to get the Infinity), would a bigger board be better or worse for progressing into park territory, or should I stick with what I am already comfortable with?
January 03, 2013
Hi Shay-I dig your blog, very helpful! I have been boarding about 18 years, my favorite local mountain is Northstar at Tahoe, but I board in Aspen every year (Highlands being my favorite there). I demo'd a Never Summer Infinity in Aspen last year and could not believe how much better my riding was and how smooth the board was. I was able to do some very technical narrow, tree/mogul runs with my ski buddies and also hold serious speed carving. I loved the board. But after reading your reviews and many of the comments, I am thinking a Lotus may be even a BETTER fit. I love to carve and I love speed. I enjoy going through the trees, and hitting ungroomed territory. I am not interested in the park at all. I will ride a lot of groomers for sure, but I will definitely be doing moguls, powder, trees, and maybe a jib every now and then. I like to ride with the guys, and I'd love your thoughts on the Infinity or Lotus for me? I rode the 151 demo, and it felt right. I am 5'5, 132 pounds…..thoughts on Lotus vs Infinity?? Help!
Happy 2013

Editor's note: This is a transcript of a live chat with Post sports writer Woody Paige, Thursday, October 25, 2007. The transcript is unedited.
Denverpost.com admin: Woody is in Boston, and is planning to join this chat from there. Please go ahead and ask your questions while we wait for him to log on. Thanks: October 25, 2007: 11:28 AM:
mtnman: are the rox gonna be able to clear the spider webs?: October 25, 2007: 11:30 AM:
candyman: Do you feel ashamed of the article that you wrote about Shanny taking cuts at Cutler, which took quotations out of context?: October 25, 2007: 11:32 AM:
Dan: Do you think the Bronco's win against Pittsburgh is the beginning of a playoff season, or a blip in an 8-8 finish?: October 25, 2007: 11:33 AM:
BostonRockie: I was born and raised in Denver, but unfortunately go to medical school here in Boston. I have put up with the World's Most annoying fans for too long. Could you please tell the team to win, just to shut up the fans? Maybe even give them a Babe Ruth voodoo doll?: October 25, 2007: 11:33 AM:
woody paige: Hello, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. I'm coming to you from Boston. Candyman: I did not take the quotes out of context. I was there. I know what was said. Cutler said he wasn't the person to ask about calling plays. Shanahan calls the plays. End of story.: October 25, 2007: 11:35 AM:
swish31: It sure would be nice if the people involved on in the World Series would do their research about the Rockies. Last night one of the guys on Fox said the Rockies played the Cubs in the first round. Then the guy covering the Rockies for ESPN said that the rockies were putting DENNIS Cook on the World Series Roster..its getting annoying they shouldn't be on t.v.: October 25, 2007: 11:36 AM:
woody paige: BostonRockie: Great name. I loved Boston Blackie, a TV detective, when I was a kid. I love the Red Sox fans. They're as obstinate as Broncos fans when they go to the Super Bowl. This is a sophisticated sports town with some idiots, but , mostly, great fans: October 25, 2007: 11:37 AM:
Jesse: Why do you think there were so many Steelers fans at Sunday night's game? I felt like I was at the visiting team's stadium in my section – 108.: October 25, 2007: 11:37 AM:
brown24: Hey Woody, I believe that the Broncos defense will wake up by the end of the year, and this team will be a team nobody wants to play, How do you feel about this?: October 25, 2007: 11:38 AM:
mtnman: Jeese wait til the world series comes to coors: October 25, 2007: 11:38 AM:
woody paige: Swish31: People here and on TV know absolutely nothing about the Rockies. As I wrote this morning, instead of calling the Rockies pitcher tonight, Jimenez, in the notes at Fenway, he was called Wally Madison. Duh: October 25, 2007: 11:38 AM:
woody paige: Jesse: There were so many Steelers fans for three reasons. They are a nationally-loved team, and a lot of people from Pitt have moved to Denver, and the Denver people sold their tickets to Steelers fans because they're not loyal anymore, especially on a day with snow: October 25, 2007: 11:39 AM:
woody paige: mtnman: I saw two Rockies fans last night at the game. At Coors there will be 20,000 Red Sox fans, at least, every game. The Rockies screwed up the tickets royally, as I told you they would here last Thursday.: October 25, 2007: 11:41 AM:
Bella: I assume you've been to lots of World Series, so how does this one compare with the hometown team playing?: October 25, 2007: 11:41 AM:
franchise: do you think that denver will put together a string of wins now that they got a big win and possibly have a chance at winning this average afc west division to get into the playoffs: October 25, 2007: 11:41 AM:
woody paige: In regard to the Broncos upcoming games, the easiest part of their schedule was early, and they lost two games here. Now, they have to play some heavyweight teams on the road. There is no indication, despite my preseason prediction of greatness, that the Broncos will be any more than a 9-7 or, at best, 10-6 wildcard. too many injuries, too many people who haven't worked out, too many bad calls, cutler still developing, etc.: October 25, 2007: 11:43 AM:
Jerry: Woody, how far in advance do they give you the questions for Around the Horn. Do you have time to research the topics a little. Some of you throw out some stats, etc.. that would indicate they let you prep for it a little bit.: October 25, 2007: 11:43 AM:
buck: woddy, can griese lead the bears to the super bowl?: October 25, 2007: 11:44 AM:
Bronkies: Alright Woody, whats your prediction for tonights game?: October 25, 2007: 11:44 AM:
nathan: your rockies suck the redsox are going to sweep the rockies GO SOX!: October 25, 2007: 11:45 AM:
whip: The defense looked very aggressive in the first half but came out flat in the 3rd quarter. why do you think they were able to put so much pressure on Big Ben ? Do you think they will suit Rice up for MNF against GB ?: October 25, 2007: 11:45 AM:
Rocks: Hey you should put something on your blackboard for around the horn about WALLY MADISON.: October 25, 2007: 11:45 AM:
woody paige: Bella: I've been covering World Series since the 1970s, and this is the most fun for me and the most agony, dealing with thousands of tickets requets, and I can't get any. I was on line with everyone else who failed. I got two tickets, to be honest, for one game. It was great to see the Rockies take the field. It was sad to listen to all the sportswriters laugh at the Rockies. The laughter will stop tonight. Rockies 8-3.: October 25, 2007: 11:46 AM:
JJohnson: Who are your favorite sports reporters to hang out with from around the country when you are at a big national sporting event?: October 25, 2007: 11:47 AM:
woody paige: Jerry: I'm typing this from the Around The Horn Studio in Boston. We have a conference call in the morning and are told the questions. Honestly, I do no research. I'd rather just give honest answers. They do send us a research packet. I don't look at it unless I have forgotten somebody's name, like Mariotti: October 25, 2007: 11:47 AM:
Browncos: Mr. Paige. What do you think the final outcome will be with Travis Henry: October 25, 2007: 11:48 AM:
Brown24: If you win today on ATH, lunch is on me. hahaha: October 25, 2007: 11:49 AM:
woody paige: JJohnson: I love to hang out with Bill Plaschke from the Los Angeles Times. Had lunch yesterday with Jackie MacMullen from Boston. I like several of the Boston writers and some guys from ESPN and Tim Cowlishaw from Dallas: October 25, 2007: 11:49 AM:
woody paige: I don't win today. Bet somebody and make a lot of money. Marriotti wins, but I sort of win. You have to see. It's totally different: October 25, 2007: 11:49 AM:
Michael: Woody, you said on Around the Horn that Mike Hart has a chance for the Heisman if he ran for 2000+ yards because every college running back to run for 2000+ yards won the award. And yet Larry Johnson ran for 2000+ yards and didn't win the Heisman.: October 25, 2007: 11:50 AM:
Gabriel: Yankees should sign A-Rod he is a black cat.: October 25, 2007: 11:50 AM:
woody paige: Browncos: Henry will be suspended. His defense is second-hand smoke. That won't smoke.: October 25, 2007: 11:50 AM:
T Platt: Woody, I wrote several ltrs to you over the yerars, but I still want to thank you for your piece on depression a while back. It made a difference in my life and outlook. How many ex-NFL players do you think have the same problems now adays?: October 25, 2007: 11:50 AM:
woody paige: I talk about Wally Madison on Around The Horn today: October 25, 2007: 11:50 AM:
Kate: Woody, when was the last time you did something relaxing that wasn't sports related – like the theater, a movie or a dinner party? Doesn't this job seem all consuming at times?: October 25, 2007: 11:51 AM:
woody paige: Gabriel: The Yankees will do everything to sign A-Rod, but I believe he will end up in Chicago with the new Cubs ownership. Scott Boras, his agent, already is talking to them. 30 mil a year for 10 years: October 25, 2007: 11:51 AM:
woody paige: Kate: I love the theater and go to everything. When I was in New York for three years, never missed a Broadway show. I read four or five books a week, late at night, and that relaxes me, and I love going to nice restaurants. It's been somewhat difficult in Boston because everybody here watches Around The Horn, comes on later in the day, and I've been beseiged to the point of having someone kind of protect me. I love to hang out with friends, but I do see about 250 sports events a year. Thank you for caring. Sports consumes my life.: October 25, 2007: 11:53 AM:
CanDance: Woody, What about Rick Reilly's move from SI to ESPN? Did you mentor him on that one too?: October 25, 2007: 11:54 AM:
Manny: Geeesh, how much does Boras make as his agent if that deal gets done?: October 25, 2007: 11:54 AM:
Broncolb: What is the normal policy regarding the Rockies and how they dealt with the World Series tickets!: October 25, 2007: 11:55 AM:
swish31: I wrote a letter to you as well and want to thank you for taking the time to write back, it really helped to see your outlook.: October 25, 2007: 11:55 AM:
whip From SD: What's your MNF prediction ? GB or Den ?: October 25, 2007: 11:55 AM:
woody paige: CanDance: Rick did this on his own. I know in talking to him that like me, he's always looking for fresh, exciting challenges, and he will become an even bigger star at ESPN. Everybody will work for ESPN one day. It consumes the world. I'm very proud of Rick, and I was honored that he once asked me to present him when he was named the top sportswriter in the country. He has done well for a kid growing up in Boulder.: October 25, 2007: 11:56 AM:
woody paige: whip from san diego: I have predicted the broncos to win 24-23 on a last-second field goal.: October 25, 2007: 11:56 AM:
whip From SD: Do you think the defense will be able to pressure Farve like they did against PITT ?: October 25, 2007: 11:58 AM:
K Mac: Woody, So why has Simeon Rice completely changed his perspective, and now wants to become just one more disruption?: October 25, 2007: 11:58 AM:
woody paige: Broncolb: In regard to tickets, as at the Super Bowl, major league baseball gets thousands to give to sponsors, other teams, friends of the league, even media. I saw a media outlet I won't name get about 40 tickets the other day. Season ticket holders get first dibs, and the other team gets thousands. so you and I are left with the scraps. The Rockies say they sold 20,000 for each game on line, which meant more than 30,000 went to people within baseball, and, of course, scalpers get thousands upon thousands, and that could have been stopped, but the Rockies thought they knew all the answers. They had none: October 25, 2007: 11:59 AM:
woody paige: K Mac: I was told by the writer who was there when Rice made the comments that he was laughing and wasn't totally serious about being the highest paid scout team player in the leagues. I think he's frustrated that the Broncos won't play him, and they're frustrated that he can't play. Damaged goods. They took a chance, and again, it didn't work out, as it didn't with Sam Adams. Too many personnel mistakes.: October 25, 2007: 12:00 PM:
Jacyln: What are the realistic chances for Tulo and Holliday winning the ROY and MVP honors?: October 25, 2007: 12:00 PM:
woody paige: I was wrong about Mike Hart on ATH, and I have apologized to the dozens of writers who went to Penn State and Iowa State. Sometimes my mind is off. Most time. I had old information stuffed in there from the Salaam period when he won with more than 2,000 yards rushing. My bad. My real bad. But Troy Davis and Larry Johnson will forgive me.: October 25, 2007: 12:02 PM:
nicholas: What can Jimenez do tonight to guard against runners on base.: October 25, 2007: 12:02 PM:
KMac: Woody, Are we truly seeing the D Line future for the Donks? Do you think there's anyone else out there right now that we would take on to support the defense?: October 25, 2007: 12:03 PM:
Shwain: Broncos&Rockies fan in Quito Ecuador, hurts not to see all of the broncos games here, hurt to see that game last night. Good point about pirates yankees series woody, made me feel a bit better.: October 25, 2007: 12:04 PM:
woody paige: Sorry, I must go to Fenway to get ready for the ballgame. I'll spend more time with you next Thursday back in Denver when I don't have to travel so far and so early. Thanks. Woody: October 25, 2007: 12:04 PM:
Kate: Will you be at the Coors or Mile High Monday night?: October 25, 2007: 12:04 PM:
sjuf: How about Big Grady Jacskon and Sam Adams in the middle? Any chance the Broncs try to pick him up??: October 25, 2007: 12:05 PM:
Denverpost.com admin: Thanks for particpating today. We will post the transcript of this chat shortly on denverpost.com/sports. Be sure to come back next Thursday at 12:30 for more Woody chatting.: October 25, 2007: 12:07 PM

Fiji Time: 9:50 AM on Sunday 25 February

Thursday, July 24, 2014
Update: 2:58PM Climate change poses a real threat to the agriculture sector and will continue to affect crops and livestock performance in years to come, says Agriculture Development deputy secretary Uraia Waibuta during the Yam Day celebration in Koronivia Research Station today.
Waibuta said Fiji needed to relook at the resilience and adaptability of its
plant genetic resources especially traditional varieties in order to combat and
carry out adaptation measures to minimise the effect of climate change on crops
in Fiji.
He said
many countries around the world had realised the importance of yam species in
those adaptation measures and yams were used as disaster crops in some parts of
Africa, India, South America and the Pacific Island Countries.
are significant to our culture as it has been part of our life throughout our
history," Mr Waibuta said.

My season-long funk continued in Week 15 as I turned in another abysmal week at 5-10. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I am the Kansas City Chiefs of prognosticating this season.
This week can clarify the playoff picture somewhat. The AFC could be incredibly simple: If the Houston Texans win, they have home-field advantage secured. If the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals and Indianapolis Colts would clinch the final two open spots. Indy also gets in regardless with a win at Kansas City.
The Baltimore Ravens can clinch the North with a win or a Cincinnati loss or tie and the Denver Broncos can lock up a first-round bye with a win and a loss by the New England Patriots or a tie and a Patriot loss.
The NFC is somewhat more complicated but the Atlanta Falcons can lock up the No. 1 seed for the second time in three seasons with a win Saturday night at Detroit.
The San Francisco 49ers can secure their second straight West title with a win or tie at Seattle and can also secure a first-round bye with a win and a loss or tie by the Green Bay Packers or a tie and a Packer loss.
The Seattle Seahawks clinch a playoff spot with a win or with losses by the New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. There are also something like 5 billion clinching scenarios involving a Seahawk tie, but I am going to choose to not get into all of that.
The Giants can clinch this weekend with a win and losses by Washington, Dallas, Minnesota and Chicago and the Redskins can get in with a win and losses by the Giants, Vikings and Bears.
Bloodied but unbowed, here are my picks against the spread for Week 16, with home teams in CAPS:
Saturday night
Falcons (minus 3½) over LIONS: Atlanta won't have to stray from the home dome during the playoffs after winning under Detroit's home roof on Monday night, which comes on a Saturday this week.
Chargers (plus 1½) over JETS: Two teams with broken dreams and coaches on the hot seat collide. But San Diego comes in without a quarterback controversy.
Vikings (plus 8) over TEXANS: I like Houston to win but I like the Minnesota Adrians to keep it close.
BUCCANEERS (minus 3) over Rams: Tampa Bay has to bounce back from that drubbing in New Orleans, right?
COWBOYS (minus 1) over Saints: New Orleans has been good and bad. After being very good last week, Dallas is waiting.
Redskins (minus 6½) over EAGLES: Andy Reid's farewell tour continues with another loss at home.
Colts (minus 7) over CHIEFS: Indianapolis locks up a playoff berth. Who saw that coming?
Patriots (minus 14½) over JAGUARS: Pretty sure I would have laid 35 if that was what the spread was this week.
STEELERS (minus 3) over Bengals: Andy Dalton comes out of the weekend still having never beaten Pittsburgh or Baltimore.
Bills (plus 4½) over DOLPHINS: I like Buffalo to keep this close. Of course, I liked Buffalo to keep it close against the Seahawks last week and, well …
Raiders (plus 8½) over PANTHERS: Carolina wins but the Raiders keep it interesting for a change.
PACKERS (minus 12½) over Titans: Tennessee is coming off a four-point win during which it got five turnovers and committed 14 penalties. So it's Green Bay in a laugher.
BRONCOS (minus 13) over Browns: The longer this season goes the dumber that Brandon Weeden pick looks.
RAVENS (plus 2½) over Giants: Two teams moving in the wrong direction, but I'm just not confident Big Blue can actually find that switch this time around.
Bears (minus 5½) over CARDINALS: Two good defenses, one actual NFL offense. That proves to be the deciding factor.
SEAHAWKS (plus 1) over 49ers: Seattle wins at home to keep the NFC West in play.
Last week: 5-10
Season: 91-118-7

Westminster's city council on Monday voted 7-0 to reject a plan to change the way the city's mayor is elected.
The vote means the city will keep its system in which a mayoral candidate must receive at least 40 percent of the vote to avoid a run-off after the November election.
Two weeks earlier, councilors split 4-3 to eliminate the run-off, which supporters said could save the city as much as $100,000 in special-election costs. That vote provoked an avalanche of negative response.
Twenty people spoke during the public comment period Monday. Not one supported the proposed change.
"I came tonight prepared to change my vote," said Councilwoman Mary Lindsey, one of the bill's four early supporters. "Thank you for contacting me. I would like to look at this issue at a later time, a better time."
But opponents questioned the timing of the change, especially given the fact that two of the measure's supporters — Bob Briggs and Herb Atchison — have announced their candidacy for mayor.
The council contemplated sending the proposed change to a citywide ballot, but the bill's former supporters ultimately asked to kill the proposal outright, with Briggs, Atchison, Lindsey and Mark Kaiser all switching their votes.

The Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies closed its campaign on Thursday night with the announcement by Paul Felix Warburg and Ira M. Younker, campaign chairmen, that it had succeeded in raising the $3,923,000 appropriated for the support of 91 affiliated philanthropic and charitable instiutions for 1932.
In view of existing conditions, the campaign chairmen feel that to have attained their objective may be considered an achievement. But they feel also that that achievement is tempered by the fact that it was made possible only by cutting the budget and curtailing some of the services rendered by the affiliated institutions.
The campaign opened on October 16 with more than 2,000 men and women volunteer workers enlisted to raise the $1,700,000 needed to complete last year's budget. It was to have closed on December 31, but on that date the Federation was still short $177,000 of its goal and with the sanction of the Federation board of trustees an extension of 12 days was decided upon in a last effort to complete the budget. This 12-day grace period made success possible.

The corporate hog giant filed in Kansas City area court it's plan for implementing next generation technology as required by the courts. The company has worked for a decade trying to comply with the experts, spending about 40 million dollars. PSF says it will take two more years, but will install manure scrapers in the remaining 7 barns by July 31st of 2012. A team of experts has been tracking the efforts by PSF to see it complies with the court order. In court documents company president Bill Homann said PSF is trying to follow the rules in order to protect employee jobs and the economic well-being of North Missouri where it has numerous operations. PSF says it's responsible for more than 11,000 jobs through its pig farms and a substantial tax base for local governments.

LONDON. — Arsenal are sitting top of the English Premier League as we head into 2016 and the platform for their success has been a more assured defence this season.
The £11 million arrival of goalkeeper Petr Cech from rivals Chelsea in the summer has provided the much required steel in the Arsenal back line.
Cech, who notched up a new record 170th English Premier League clean sheet on Monday against Bournemouth, revealed a part of their defensive cohesion this campaign has been due to the Czech's multi-lingual skills.
"I speak to the full-backs (Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal) in Spanish, to (Laurent) Koscielny in French and to Per (Mertesacker) in English because for him it is the same as me," said Cech.
"Sometimes the foreign player wouldn't know what you say. That's when you realise sometimes it's easier to say it in their language than hoping they will understand. It can happen.
"You have to be consistent in your work, consistent in your performances because if not then you might not have as many games as you would like, less games you play then less chances to have a clean sheet."
The 33-year-old achieved his English Premier League clean sheet landmark in just 352 games as Arsene Wenger's side eye a maiden title since 2004.
Looking ahead, Cech will hope to maintain another record when the Gunners face a daunting last 16 contest with La Liga giants Barcelona in the Champions League in February.
Barca talisman Lionel Messi has not scored against Cech in eight meetings so far, and the keeper added: "It's great, not many people can say they've played eight games or how many minutes against Messi and he hasn't found a way to get past me.
"But if he scores and we progress to the next round then it's not really important. What's important is for us to make sure that we give ourselves a chance to progress to the next round." — Mailonline.

Catching up with Crane
General manager Ed Wade spent much of Saturday with Jim Crane, who, if all goes as expected with the consummation of the Astros sale, will be Wade's boss for whatever of the remaining season and a half on Wade's contract Crane desires or beyond.
The presumed owner-to-be took Wade with him to see Crane's alma mater, Central Missouri, play in the NCAA Division II championship in Cary, N.C.
"It was a chance to get to know one another and talk about the club and the future of the club and what we're trying to do and flesh out some things regarding the draft," Wade said.
Wade and current owner Drayton McLane met with Crane and CEO-to-be George Postolos on Tuesday to go over the upcoming draft, which will be June 6-8.
Crane's Mules lost 4-3 to Winona State in the first day of the double-elimination event.
Bourgeois heads to Florida
Jason Bourgeois can't take it anymore, so he's getting up and leaving.
Going stir-crazy on the disabled list with an oblique strain, Bourgeois will head to Kissimmee, Fla., and play in three extended spring training games beginning Monday. The Astros can bend rules in those games so he can hit in as many innings as they want him to, and after that, he plans to go on a minor league rehab assignment at Class AAA Oklahoma City.
Bourgeois and the Astros eye a June 7 return for the opener of the series against the Cardinals.
"I'm ready to get out there and do something productive," the high-energy outfielder said. "I feel like I've just been sitting around."
A June 7 return would come one month to the day after he strained the oblique while running to first base in Pittsburgh.
Quintero to see specialist
Humberto Quintero was expected to see a foot and ankle specialist to re-evaluate his sprained right ankle sustained in a home-plate collision Friday night.
Quintero said he is set to begin rehab during the midweek series against the Cubs and, if all goes well, rejoin the Astros when they go to San Diego at the end of the week.
While Quintero is out, Brad Mills said Robinson Cancel is likely to catch Jordan Lyles "simply because they're familiar with each other and he's thrown the ball well with him." Definitive plans for the extent of Cancel's catching have not been finalized.
Cancel greeted his teammates, whom he barely got to know in just a few days at major league spring training in March. He came toting his Oklahoma City RedHawks bag and a .324 batting average, a .384 on-base percentage and a .431 slugging percentage thanks to a recently snapped 17-game hitting streak.
Rodriguez makes debut
For pitching on 12 days of rest, it all felt pretty normal for Fernando Rodriguez.
The righty reliever finally made his Astros debut Saturday, a week and a half after his call-up from Class AAA Oklahoma City, where he had a 1.29 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 21 innings.
Rodriguez, who had entered with only two major league outs under his belt from his Angels days, tossed two scoreless innings in relief of Bud Norris, striking out two, as the Astros found a low-leverage situation to use him.
Of course, he didn't enter completely cold. Rodriguez said he had thrown two bullpen sessions and had warmed up with the potential of entering a game about seven times since being called up.
Odds and ends
Jeff Keppinger will start at second base today, making two out of three starts in his first series back from the disabled list as Saturday's starter, Bill Hall, takes on a lesser role. … Brandon Lyon threw a light bullpen session for the first time since being diagnosed with a partial tear of his rotator cuff. … Jason Castro will move to the 60-day disabled list to create space on the 40-man roster for Jordan Lyles.

Heartbreak can be the opportunity to burn karma that keeps you stuck. Choose holy water and to heal.
Only now can I see his halo even though he was a pure Devil to me. Using his mastery of human dynamics he tricked me into falling hard and fast the moment I first saw him. Just like Sonny conned Isabelle into falling for an impossible love dream. Either that or Cupid used a javelin instead of an arrow the day we met. Whatever instigated the spell it did the trick. Getting hurt often opens the door to discovering that you have a whole lot of karma to burn. According to the Ancients, when your karma is dense, it can take twelve months for the burning to finally stop because all the karmic cords are finally gone.
The antedote to karma is grace. The access to grace is prayer. In the case of karma burning one must pray for a miracle. So I turned to the one man who I always trusted for a miracle ... the Catholic St. Anthony of Padua. St. Anthony to the rescue it was. Novena after novena. Petition after petition. I literally begged him in my prays every day to bless me with selective amnesia.
Dear St. Anthony, please grant me this request that I ask of you - erase him from me. St. Anthony please remove this this root cause of why this man's rejection is an eternal knife twisting in my heart when it makes no sense. Whether or not you believe in signs I still attest that St. Anthony finally granted my prayers. However, he made me suffer quite a bit more so I would feel so rotten to the core that I'd be compelled to get to the bottom of why I drew this hurtful situation to me.
- The first sign: Healing Strang, my first BodyTalk practitioner in Portland, told me that my soul had to go to Italy. Then she said that this whole lesson was about faith.Faith that it would all work out in perfect Divine timing. Italy was where St. Anthony's Shrine was located.
- The second sign was when Heather conected me to one of her BodyTalk colleagues in New York named Shelley Poovey. Heather was off to a retreat and a holiday so in the spirit of exceptional client service, let her people know whom else was available.
- The third sign presented itself when Tamara Green, one of Dr. Diana Kirschner's trained love mentors, told me that I was needing relief not fixing on this healing karma burning journey of mine.
- The fourth sign came in the form of Tantric Priestess Devi Ward who taught and supported me in burning karma through Tantra. This required Tibetan Buddhist techniques of color breathing, the Firebreath, Ocean meditation, and cultivating sexual energy for healing. No, there was no sex with anyone else required. Tantra is fundamentally about cutting attachments, calming the mind, and healing shame around trauma like heartbreak.
So, armed with all this Goddess wisdom, the last week of September 2013 was surrendering all I ever wanted by burning my love karma, washing away the debris of old love interests, and detoxing from the outdated version of me. Like a software program being uninstalled from a hard drive, so space is available to install an all new better program that did the job perfectly. In my case, it meant the end of love and sex drama, even if it only pertained to ridiculous ideas in my head instead of actual situations with people.
- Then I got the fifth sign that showed me my work was working. A man I had known for two years, who looked like the young Jan Michael Vincent, came a calling. He sent me a message at 3:00am on a Saturday morning saying that he woke up in the middle of the night with me on his mind. Then he said he sound me simply amazing. My first instinct was to ask him if he meant his message for me and not his girlfriend. A few hours later, at 11:00am, JMV doppelganger replied: No, it was for you.
To be continued ....

Comments about Aura Locking Wall-Mount Mailbox:
Very pretty. Color is nice, lines are nice. The metal lines up straight. We had to do a lot of work (go buy shims, line up, play with it, etc) to get it to hang right but once we did that - it was fine. My biggest complaint is that the lock/tumbler is of such low quality that, inside a year, we had to start leaving the key in it because it was too difficult to insert/remove because it's pretty cheap. All in all, we could replace the lock but...shouldn't have to and it's just another thing on the "honey do" list.
Comments about Aura Locking Wall-Mount Mailbox:
Sleek, unadorned, simple. This company is a fantastic to order from. It was exactly as shown, if they offered a heavy gauge metal they would be even better but no complaints whatsoever. The opening for mail drop allows magazines and small packages.

Grieving Mick Jagger has flown to Los Angeles to help organise tragic girlfriend L'Wren Scott's funeral as his worried family rallies around him.
The singer is set to stay with his eldest daughter Karis at her home close to the Hollywood Hills as he battles to come to terms with the former model's suicide.
Daughters Elizabeth, 30, and Georgia May, 22, are also with him for support, with Jade, 42, and her son James, 27, set to join them imminently.
"Mick, like with all of his children, is extremely close to Karis," said a source.
"She has been a huge source of comfort to him and she insisted he must stay with her and her two children - Mick's grandkids.
"It is extremely difficult for him to travel to New York. It is still far too raw.
"Mick is still in complete shock and cannot understand or comprehend why L'Wren took her own life."
The Rolling Stone, along with his bandmates, flew in to LA touching down shortly after 7.30am.
Unlike Mick's other children, Karis has always shunned the public spotlight.
She was the father-of-seven's first child born in 1970 although he didn't play an active role in her life until she was nine-years-old.
The relationship between Jagger and Karis's mum, American model Marsha Hunt, had broken down before she was born in Paddington, London.
For several years Jagger failed to acknowledge his daughter publicly until Marsha, who is said to have inspired the song "Brown Sugar", took the singer to court for child support.
In 1979 he was ordered to pay £1,000 per month towards looking after Karis however the case also instigated Jagger taking an active role in his daughter's life.
So when, at the age 22, she graduated from Yale with a history degree, Jagger and then wife Jerry Hall joined Marsha at the graduation.
He was seen smiling proudly while filming Karis receiving her certificate.
She is Jagger's only daughter not to enter modelling choosing instead to become a film production assistant.
Karis, 43, has also volunteered as a teacher in Harlem before marrying her husband Jonathan Watson 14 years ago.
Jagger's daughter to Hall, Georgia May, 22, previously said of her half sister: "Karis is like the star of the family because she went to Yale."
The Stones took off from Perth on Thursday after cancelling a set of shows in Australia and New Zealand following L'Wren's shocking suicide on Monday in New York.
The legendary rockers - accompanied by a police escort - drove straight onto to the tarmac and quickly boarded their Boeing 767 private jet emblazoned with their famous tongue logo.
Friends have said the timing of L'Wren's death was particularly tragic after more than 50 years on the road Jagger was finally ready to settle down.
He had already been with the fashion designer longer than he had been married to either of his wives
"Mick had recently decided to end his hotel lifestyle, and I understand they had just bought a $10 million home in New York," Rob Shane, the husband of Scott's sister Jan said.
Meanwhile today bandmate Ronnie Wood posted a message on his website paying tribute, as well as offering his support for close friendMick Jagger.
It read: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Mick and L'Wren's family and friends at this incredibly devastating and difficult time.
"As a band we are one big family and we've all come together to support Mick, and will do everything we can to help him.
"We are currently rescheduling touring plans. We thank everyone for their understanding.
"We are so grateful for the messages of support at this sad time - while we take the time that is needed. XR ."

SAN FRANCISCO – The Cowboys' 27-24 loss at the Jets last Sunday was just the 11th time they've lost on the road with Tony Romo as their starting quarterback.
Since he was named the starter by then-coach Bill Parcells in October 2006, Romo is 20-11 (.645 winning percentage) on the road. In those games, he's completed 65 percent of his passes for 8,564 yards, 50 TDs and 29 interceptions.
Among NFL passers with at least 30 career road starts during the Super Bowl era, only Joe Montana (.753, 61-20) and Tom Brady (.694, 50-22) have better road records than Romo, who is 39-23 overall.
Romo's two fourth quarter turnovers helped hand the game to the Jets, but the mistakes overshadowed another impressive road outing for the quarterback. Facing one of the league's top defenses, Romo passed for 342 yards and two touchdowns.
It was the franchise-best 27th career 300-yard passing game for Romo. Troy Aikman is second with 13 such games. Danny White is third with 10.

text: Hi folks, We're about to get a whole lot of packages relating to file systems, mainly from FUSE compatibility - not just restricted to NetBSD's librefuse, which uses libpuffs, but for all the other systems out there which use FUSE itself - FreeBSD, MacOS X, Linux, Opensolaris (there may be others). I'd also like to include openafs, and any other LKMs in this group. If anyone is against a new category called filesystems, could they please speak up now? Thanks, Alistair PS. For those who are coming to this fresh, we usually have a requirement that there are a significant number of packages which could be placed in the new category before we make one (although we bypassed this with biology, IIRC), and so I'd like to go straight to this category, rather than going by an indirect route of misc/ first.

The mother of a young sex-addicted teen is reportedly suing Tyra Banks for a cool $3 million.
Beverly McClendon is furious that her daughter, who is a minor, appeared as a guest on Banks' former talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, without her consent.
How did the 15-year-old girl make her way to the supermodel's stage to talk about sex? It's quite simple, actually. She reportedly sent in her information for an online casting call looking for teen sex addicts. Banks' producers put the girl from Georgia on a plane and brought her to New York -- all expenses paid -- the lawsuit is claiming.
The lawsuit, which was allegedly filed in federal court Oct. 8, says that the episode of The Tyra Banks Show that Beverly McClendon's daughter appeared on "was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles alike," and was a direct violation of her teen daughter's right to privacy. Really? I don't think she would have gone on Banks' show if she was worried about privacy.
Beverly McClendon is also trying to stop future airings of the show featuring her daughter.
The Tyra Banks Show, or Tyra Show, ended its fifth season run on May 28, 2010, but can still be caught in reruns where available.
Banks is a pretty sharp business woman. I'm sure she'll be just fine. Tell SheKnows what you think of the lawsuit against Tyra Banks.

Connecting Devotees Worldwide - In Service Of Srila Prabhupada
E–सलाह Hindi
Videos (Categorised)
Holi or the festival of colors is celebrated about ten days after the spring festival. A delightful visual, this festival combines the gaiety of a carnival and the devotional flavour of a religious festival with the singing of amorous songs as unbridled expressions of youth. This is the time when both feelings and colours run riot. Braj seems to be the only place where one comes across a variety of forms in which the festival of Holi is celebrated. The following account records in brief some of the most colourful and ecstatic forms of Holi in Braj.The seat of Shri Radha has all the touch of romanticism. The songs sung by people recall the pranks of Radha and Krishna and their love for each other and the gopis. The visitors move around in large and small groups singing, dancing and applying colours, intoxicated with the thoughts of Radha and Krishna leela. The climax of the festivities is in the afternoon when the gops of Nandgaon come to Barsana to play Holi with the local gopis.
The women play Holi by hitting the men hard with a 2- ½ metre long bamboo staff. The men (gops) protect themselves with shields. The violence of the attack is mellowed down by the singing of folk songs specially composed for the occasion which express, in a variety of ways, how the Holi festival had enraptured the belles of Barsana. The following day the entire scene is re-enacted at Nandgaon. The gops of Barsana are invited to play Holi with the village belles of Nandgaon. The elaborate procedure includes carrying the flag. of the temple of Shriji. The flag is received by the gops of Barsana with devotional singing, and is carried on foot to Nandgaon where all attempts to capture it are foiled by the visiting group. The rest of the festivities at Nandgaon mark devotional singing in the temple, folk singing on the streets followed by the women emerging in a group to play Holi with bamboo staffs.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
Intellectual Snobbery to the Nth Degree THEATER: REVIEW
Article excerpt
THE heroine of "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" turned out to be a romantic fascist. Terence Rattigan's Andrew Crocker-Harris of "The Browning Version" was dubbed "the Himmler of the lower fifth" by his disrespectful pupils. But they were as nothing compared to the totalitarian perfectionist of Andrew Davies' "Prin," now having its American premiere at the Manhattan Theatre Club.
Prin (Eileen Atkins) is more formally the principal of an English teachers training college. The academic martinet is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, to finding the handful of extraordinary talents among a mass of mediocrity. She does not suffer fools, or almost anyone else, gladly. A verbal precisionist, she is the mistress of ironic disparagement, the unveiled insult, the crushing put-down. In short, she is the kind of intellectual snob who gives elitism a bad name.
Prin speaks also for disillusioned idealism. Thirty years ago, in her Oxford days, she spurned communism when the notorious Anthony Blunt tried to recruit her for spying. Instead, Prin opted for her present career, in the hope that "we could change the world through education." The hope has long since faded.
The disillusioned principal is currently embroiled in a battle to prevent her college from being merged with a technical institution or a neighboring university. …

ACT NOW in MATH Program Helps Improve Mathematics Teacher Preparation
Posted: September 15, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
According to a report published earlier this year by the National Mathematics Advisory Panel, a sharp falloff in mathematics achievement in the United States begins when students reach middle school and algebra course work commences.
The report also shows the need for improving mathematics teacher preparation and professional development to improve pre-K–12 student learning.
Two Mason faculty members recently collaborated with local public schools to attack these problems.

Jennifer Suh, assistant professor of mathematics education in the College of Education and Human Development, and Padhu Seshaiyer, associate professor of mathematical sciences in the College of Science, worked with an elementary mathematics specialist and middle school Algebra I teacher from Fairfax County on a project called ACT NOW in MATH: Algebraic Connections and Technology in Middle Grades Math. The project is funded by a grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia,
The main goal of the project was to support teachers in transforming their teaching styles to bring more algebraic connections to what they taught in middle grades mathematics. Other goals were to help teachers re-examine the existing curriculum and bring out the algebraic reasoning that was embedded in the arithmetic they already taught.
The project targeted teachers from schools with a low-income and diverse student population. The first phase, completed in August, involved 41 teachers who participated in a two-week institute that focused on making algebraic connections at all levels of elementary and middle school mathematics, with an emphasis on integrating technology.

"Throughout the two-week program, teachers were immersed in a problem-solving environment and learned how to put themselves in the shoes of a student," says Suh. "The experiences they had working together built up their confidence and helped them develop a positive and productive attitude toward mathematics that they can pass on to their students."
During the two-week program, teachers participated in research-based practices and model lessons using a variety of mathematics tools and technology. Teachers also engaged in activities that connected algebraic content with pedagogical strategies through problem solving.
One of the problems teachers worked on included the "handshake problem" in which teachers determined how many handshakes were possible between a certain number of people. Another problem analyzed was the "pizza toppings combination problem" in which teachers determined the total number of possible pizzas with a variety of toppings.
"Because students learn mathematics in a variety of ways, such as pictorially or algebraically, teachers have to relearn the ways they teach mathematics education," says Seshaiyer. "By relating mathematics to real-life situations and presenting a problem in different ways, a teacher can capture more students."
Throughout the program, teachers kept a mathematician's reflective journal in which they responded to assigned problems.
The reflective materials revealed that at first, teachers felt frustrated and afraid to tackle the algebra problems, but became more confident as the course continued. In addition, teachers realized that it was necessary for them to "relearn" the algebraic concepts through a problem-solving approach because they were not originally taught in that manner.
During the second phase, which will take place this fall, the teachers will undertake lesson studies in their respective schools, then share their experiences and analyze student work to determine if the methods they learned during the summer program were effective.
In addition, teachers will attend the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2009 to share their experiences.
The teachers who participated will earn three graduate-level credits at Mason.
For more information about ACT NOW in MATH, contact Suh at 703-993-9119 or Seshaiyer at 703-993-9787.

Nicole Richie's family fate
- Bang Showbiz
- 26 March 2009
Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden says he and girlfriend Nicole Richie - who is pregnant with their second child - let "love plan our babies"
Nicole Richie will let fate decide how many children she has.
The 27-year-old star's boyfriend Joel Madden - who recently announced the couple are expecting their second child - is unsure how big their family will be because they don't have a baby making schedule.
He said: "We let love plan our babies. We said even before this one that we didn't know how many kids we were going to have - then we got pregnant!"
The Good Charlotte frontman - who has a 14-month-old daughter Harlow Winter with Nicole - says his mother was the first to suspect Nicole was pregnant again.
He told KIIS FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "My mom called me and she's like, 'Is Nicole...?' Every time, I'm like, 'Mom, come on, seriously. I would tell you.' And then I swear, two weeks later it comes true. But we're excited about it. It's going to be great."
Joel has also revealed he finds it difficult leaving Nicole and their daughter behind when he tours with his band.
He explained: "That's hard man, when you leave your kids and they're saying no. I wrote a song for Harlow."

Renato Falzoni from 10e20 Filmes is an excellent fixer with in depth knowledge of the country. He is organised, determined and has a great 'can do' attitude. He was able to open doors that I thought were double padlocked, and quickly. I can highly recommend him.
Paul Reddish, Director
Free Spirit Film
"Brazil – A Natural History" is a 5 part series produced by Terra Mater Factual Studios for National Geographic.
10e20 Filmes was our partner in Brazil and they provided all the administrative and logistical support to produce this blue chip series. 10e20 Filmes proved to be a reliable partner with a passion for film making. On our next projects in Brazil I will certainly work with them again and I can recommend that you do the same, you will not be disappointed.

Dave McLean, Executive Producer
"My company Image Impact has just completed a complicated shoot in Brazil – in just 9 days our small crew travelled from Sao Paulo to Rio Grande in the south, and Belem in the north, filming the science and natural history of venomous snakes. Without the help of Tomaz and his team it would have been impossible to make the film – as well as arranging our entry to the country and dealing with customs, his help was also invaluable with last-minute logistics and making arrangements with local experts. I'd recommend his services to any production company shooting in Brazil."

Chef Daniel Patterson of San Francisco's Coi wanted to open a restaurant close to his Oakland home, so he signed on to open a restaurant as part of the redevelopment efforts of Jack London Square.
But typical delays prompted Patterson to focus on smaller projects, notably Plum Restaurant and later Plum Bar in Oakland's Uptown neighborhood. Last December, his waterfront spot finally opened, called Haven.
Haven has similar touches like Plum, with its wood furnishings and open kitchen. The menu, under the direction of Executive Chef Kim Alter, resembles the approach at Plum, which is a creative emphasis on California seasonal ingredients with clean flavors and rustic comfort.
I checked out Haven for the first time this month, dining with my friend and co-worker Angela. To get a nice range of Haven's offering, I persuaded Angela to go for the chef's tasting menu even though she finds tasting menus to be too much food for one person. So I'm actually surprised that she went along with my suggestion to try the five-course tasting menu ($65), which isn't advertised on the menu. (The menu only lists a four-course tasting menu at $55.)
Unlike some recent tasting menus I've tried that included several complimentary starters and in-between bites along with the main dishes, Haven's tasting menu is presented family style (that's why the entire table has to go for the chef's menu). Each course isn't presented on one plate, but instead comes in a couple of dishes, pulled together in what our server described as "layers." (I may be old-fashioned, but I totally don't get the "layers" description. Why not just call it a course with multiple dishes?)
The only complimentary taste comes in the beginning with the amuse bouche of potato chips. This wasn't a bowl of potato chips, but one bite. Angela thought it was lackluster to just start with one chip, but with the first bite, she was engrossed by the flavors added to the one chip.
The chip carried the salty flavors of halibut smelt and freeze-dried yogurt topped with a little dill. Angela said she could eat a whole bag of this and hinted at that to our server (to no avail).
Our first "layer" was a spring pea soup with ricotta. Served chilled, this soup was delightfully light even though it looked rich and thick. It reflected the technique of the kitchen, providing the right texture despite first-impressions.
The rest of the meal was filled with savory delights, like the simple Brussels sprouts with an almost lacquered glaze made of fish sauce, onion caramel, and mint. It was a true example of umami flavors.
The Brussels sprouts were actually an accompanying dish for a warm asparagus salad with a deep-fried four-minute egg that was perfectly round with a light golden breaded exterior. I broke into the egg to let the yolk ooze all over the asparagus.
Some dishes were complex but restrained. I enjoyed a sunflower seed dish prepared risotto style with sun chokes. It felt like a healthy dish to counterbalance some of the other dishes, but Angela thought it was underwhelming. A squid dish with perfectly roasted potatoes was dramatic with the black squid ink, but it was topped by Chinese greens whose bitter flavor didn't seem to blend well with the squid or potatoes.
Our main "layer" of rabbit loin was hearty but the rabbit center seemed slightly undercooked (Angela said she couldn't eat Peter Rabbit so left most of it for me) and our final dessert seemed too heavy for the overall tasting menu, ending with a bowl of banana bread cut into triangles and served with caramelized banana slices and vanilla foam. (Angela did like the sprinkling of salt as a finishing touch.)
Side note: The pacing of the tasting menu seemed really off for us. Our first few "layers" came one after the other, without given us the chance to really enjoy the dishes, not to say the least finish what's on the plate. We actually had to ask our server to slow down the dishes because our table was getting full and we barely finished one dish before the servers came to try to take them away. By the third course, it slowed down to the right pace.
My favorite dish of the night was also one I probably would never order. A foie gras terrine came out with rhubarb and green strawberries. I typically don't like to eat foie gras (not good for my cholesterol), mostly because of the overly rich texture and often liver-like flavors. In California, a ban on foie gras will go into effect this summer, so I guess this was Haven's last hurrah for foie gras.
If this is the last foie gras I ever eat in California, I'm so glad it was here. Haven's version was unlike any foie gras I've tasted in the past, with a dreamily light texture and savory-sweet taste. The combination of light texture and savory-sweet flavor made me feel like I was actually eating scoops of salted caramel ice cream.
I'm sure the foie gras' success is because of Haven's diligence in sourcing the best ingredients for its dishes. The entire meal was a delightful extension of Plum, but raised to the next level with a bit more variety and creativity in the technical execution. Patterson's restaurant (along with a planned artisan marketplace) was touted as the centerpiece of Oakland's waterfront redevelopment, and with the crowds that seems to be making its way to check out the food, Haven may just be the beginning of a long-awaited revitalization.

Carolyn Jung says:
How interesting about the tasting menu being served family-style. I have never seen that before. Did you enjoy it more that way or would you have preferred having your own separate plated portion?
Ben says:
I'm mixed about it. The environmentally conscious part of me thinks it's good because there are fewer dishes and utensils to wash, saving water and energy. But for the purist taster in mean, I feel the flavors from each courses mixes with each other when you have to get your own serving to put onto your plate. In fact, my friend Angela had to ask for new utensils because her knife was so sticky from the Brussels sprouts' glaze.
Row says:
Those are some unique-looking dishes! The Brussels sprouts dish sounds awesome. Out of curiosity, how do green strawberries differ from the red ones in terms of taste?
Ben says:
Green strawberries, like green tomatoes, are just unripened fruit. Haven did something to the strawberries, but I forgot. I think they poached it. In the end, it wasn't my favorite element on the dish. The texture was mushy, and it wasn't an interesting flavor. I actually told the server it would have been more interesting if they pickled the green strawberries, with the pickling adding another counter element to the foie gras.
Row says:
Ah, I see. I agree with you… pickling them would have added a nice sharpness to contrast with the foie gras. Mushy strawberries = :/
Sandy says:
Looks like some high marks, Ben! I especially love the photograph of that 4-minute egg. I always appreciate a perfectly done egg and that definitely fits the bill!

WebHostingPad just leaped into 3rd place on our list of best web hosting sites! WebHostingPad.com provides a reasonably-priced website hosting plan that comes with a domain at no extra charge. You get website hosting for just $1.99 each month! Make sure to read the full review below to find out more.
Prices as of Today
$1.99 each month for 3 years with the coupon above
$2.75 each month for 2 years with the coupon code above
$4.95 each month for 1 year
WebHostingPad Offers a 99.9% Up Time Guarantee
Yes, it's true, a lot of hosting companies talk about 99.9 percent up time, but WebHostingPad puts there money were their mouth is and guarantees it. If you're even slightly web savvy you can keep tabs on the up time and if they drop the ball, you can call them on it.
The deal is that they won't be letting their servers have any problems with this type of guarantee, and, of course, we're all looking for reliable web hosting. We want our sites working for us 24/7/365, and we don't want to have to worry. Our incomes are on the line, so remember to choose a web host that not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk.
The Service and Support They Offer
We've all been there, right? We're working on our site at 3:00 A.M. and something goes wrong, and we blow a gasket! If you can't get your web host on the phone any time day or night, like RIGHT NOW, you've picked the wrong company! WebHostingPad has superior customer service, so when things go wrong, you won't have to wait until they arrive at their office to get them on the phone. You don't want to skimp on customer service, unless you enjoy stress and nightmares.
The Lowest Pricing You will Find from a Good Hosting Company
WebHostingPad grabbed our attention and keeps getting better rankings on our list all the time. You can get website hosting with WebHostingPad at a very low price. They offer probably the lowest hosting price of any service when they are offering a promotion, and they have become popular because of this low price.
You will discover that opinions on the Internet through the hosting reviews and the service they provide are nearly always positive. Clients think that WebHostingPad is excellent, and a lot of opinions talk about their wonderful customer help and affordability. In my opinion, there is only one hosting package that could be a negative for certain users, but generally this host is excellent.
Customer Reviews of WebHostingPad
"I'm what they call a Newb…
And I actually helped a friend upload files to this web host. Sure, the process is easy for someone who knows what the heck they're doing…not me. But I ended up uploading everything just fine using their proprietary software for FTP. I didn't have to mess with something like Filezilla…which again is probably easy for somebody that knows what they're doing, but it just intimidating for me. We had to delete some file, the default.htm over in the public html folder in order to make things run smoothly, this sound hard…but it turned out to be not such a chore after all. So, anyways. Love their software, seems to be a really good company. No complaints whatsoever."
"We got a wonderful deal on pricing.
Switching over the Webhostingpad was honestly one of the best business decision I'm made over the past few years, bar none. I guess maybe we got fleeced by our old web host, but our prices came down about three times and the functionality and servers are just as good, if not better. Customer service seems to be a dream, but to be truthful we haven't really had to use it much as all. That's a good thing, right? "
"Extremely satisfied.
My partner and I have been with Webhostingpad for about a year and half, and although we're not experts in the industry (not technical people) we believe that nobody in this marketplace is better. This company helped us get out online lead generation operation running smoothly, and while we thought this arm of the business might only account for something like 30 percent of sales, it turns out to be more like 50 percent. All hail the internet age!!"
"Totally solid..
When I was first looking for hosting (a couple of years ago)…I did a ton of research, enough to wear myself out, in fact, I pretty much overkilled it, but it all worked out because I found webhostingpad. I thought they had great pricing, which they obviously do! But, also it seemed like they wouldn't be some cheapo option that would suck, that's what I was thinking. And I was right. I tested them out to, I opened up a sales ticket and saw how fast they responded, it was like around twenty minutes…I was sold. I transferred over the domains I was hosting on Hostmonster, which were from way back when, not that I hated Hostmonster, just wanted to try something new. Anyway, my sites load fast and are always up, no problems. I like."
"Thanks for help with the domain transfer…
Ok guys, I signed up with this company around one month ago. Definitely had some troubles transferring my site over to Webhostingpad from iPower (not a fan of them AT ALL)…if you've used them, I bet you know exactly what I'm talking about, don't you? A guy from Webhostingpad named Scott gave me a ring and was very helpful indeed, he got the transfer situation all worked out, no problem. I just really love this company now, and I can get ahold of them pretty much anytime that I need to. It's awesome. Thanks guys!"
"Didn't like the uptime with the shared hosting…
You get what you pay for, these guys are cheap and you don't get crap. There uptime guarantee is total BS, my sites were down all the time, seriously. They were probably down more than they were up, don't get my started, not happy with the uptime at all! I have had problems on almost every shared hosting account that I have ever bought, which means that shared hosting will probably have problems with uptime…well, they should tell you that upfront! Is that too much to ask. I'm upgrading all my hosting to VPS immediately, I'll pay for quality uptime, I don't know if I'll stick with Webhostingpad, I will probably have to give another company a chance again, transfers are pretty easy, so what the hell. If they have good uptime on their VPS I will stay, maybe I will give them a try…we'll see."
With all the positive WebHostingPad reviews it is no wonder they have hopped so far up our list. There is the occasional WebHostingPad review that is not perfect, but this is to be expected from time to time.
