Thorold's Hunter Garlent looking to take on bigger role with Guelph Storm this season

Hunter Garlent may not be the biggest player in the Ontario Hockey League, but that doesn't take away from the fact he plays a big game.
The 5-foot-9, 164-pound Guelph Storm centre has proven on many occasions that, what he might lack in size, he makes up for in skill, work ethic and character.
"Hunter one of the most inspirational players I've had the opportunity to draft and have in my system," said Storm GM Mike Kelly. "And those types of players are needed in every organization at our level and the National League level."
Despite facing an ankle injury that sidelined him for several weeks early last season, the Thorold native still had an impressive sophomore year.
On top of notching 12 goals and 31 points in just 50 games with the Guelph, in April, he also represented Team Canada at the IIHF World Under-18 tournament in Sochi, Russia, where he played a vital role on the penalty kill and helped the team to a gold medal.
While the efforts did earn him a spot in the NHL Central Scouting Bureau's final draft rankings, Garlent was overlooked on the July 1 draft. But as his character portrays, the grounded 18-year-old isn't going to let the rebuffing bring him down.
"Going into the draft, we weren't too sure where I was going to be so we were sort of preparing for the worst and hoping for the best," Garlent said Thursday following an on-ice session at the Seymour-Hannah Sports Complex in St. Catharines. "It was tough, but you can't close any doors, you've just got to keep working.
"I'm going to put it in my stomach and it will be that extra push for me to work even harder. There's still the chance of (getting drafted) next year and I'm going to do everything in my power to prove myself."
And Kelly has no doubt in his mind Garlent is capable of doing just that. In fact, had he not suffered the injury, Kelly feels he would have been a lock.
"I thought he should have been drafted," Kelly said. "He's aware the undersized players are scrutinized that much closer and they've got to do that much more to overcome that.
"I think he would have done that had he not had the ankle injury in November, which ironically came on the heels of being named CHL Player of the Week," he added. "He's just got to come in this season and be the dominant player we think he can be and I fully expect he will make it to the National Hockey League."
With his ankle now back to 100% health, Garlent has set some big goals for the upcoming season.
"I want to come in strong and get going right off the hop – I don't want to ease my way in," he said. "Being a third year guy now, I want to take on a bigger role on a team that's looking to compete and win it all this year."
In order to prepare for the increased responsibility, Garlent has been addressing several areas of his game during the offseason.
"I'm working hard on my shot, my strength and my speed and hopefully I can be dominant this year in certain areas of the game that I maybe wasn't before," he said. "I really want to focus on winning my draws more, being better in the d-zone, getting in the shooting lanes and really just being a complete player."
Kelly has similar expectations in mind for Garlent.
"We think we are a contending team this year and he is one of our most important cogs in that wheel that we've put together," he said. "He's a top-six forward for us and a player we're going to rely on for power play, penalty killing and key situations."
Kelly said Garlent could potentially move into the first line centre role in place of would-be overager Tanner Richard, who recently signed with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning and could make the jump to the pros this season.
"There's additional minutes and responsibilities that go with that role," Kelly said, "but that's why we drafted Hunter in the first round as a 16-year-old – to have him prepared to do that as an 18-year-old."
And Garlent is certainly up for the challenge.
"It's going to be an exciting year and to hopefully be a key part of this team, it's going to be fun and I'm really looking forward to get going."

LEGO aptly describes their construction play sets as catalysts for ideas, and I couldn't agree more. Like many of you, we've sat for hours playing LEGOs, building architectural masterpieces, crazy vehicles and pretend food, among other whatchamacalits… The possibilities are endless, but one thing's for sure: creative play and LEGO go hand in hand.
At Toy Fair, LEGO once again invited bloggers to their booth for an after-hours party where we had the chance to check out all of the upcoming sets and more. Aside from their beloved bricks, LEGO gave us a peek at their latest foray into the creative play space: Duplo Jams.
LEGO launched Duplo Jams as a new dimension to encourage and inspire creative play for toddlers and preschoolers. The three songs that are currently available are all written and performed by a preschool dad that everyone listen to for free. Duplo Jams has a dedicated iTunes channel and Facebook Page where the free songs can be accessed and are also hubs for future anticipated releases. To encourage further creativity, LEGO says they plan to release a new song every month.
We found the British Pop inspired-songs, "Sort Out the Blues," "Build with Letters," and "Stick Together," to be catchy and cool, and a funky musical backdrop while we play in the playroom. As more parents are realizing the importance of limiting screentime, musical outlets such as Duplo Jams are a fun way to shift the kids' eyeballs to hands-on play and complement with good kid tunes, where copious sing-a-longs and dance parities are expected.
Many families already engage their kids in kiddie music classes, so I think Duplo Jams is such a great way to reinforce many kids' natural love of music. We're a musical family, so we can usually be found jamming out one way or another, and it goes without saying, Duplo Jams is perfect complement to our eclectic playlist.
Be sure to check out Duplo Jams' latest releases on their iTunes channel—for free!
New Duplo Sets
And speaking of Duplo, have you seen the latest playsets? Here are just a few:
Duplo Play with Letters
LEGO has quite a few new sets, but among my favorites for preschoolers and toddlers are the DUPLO Play with Letters.
We're in our alphabet learning phase, and this set has been a great way to reinforce our lessons. Alphabet-learning aside, letter bricks can go on to be used as a way to promote reading, spelling, not to mention good ol' sorting and stacking fun. This set includes 16 letter bricks, a cat, accessories and 1 figure.
Duplo My First sets
Ever wonder what to give a 2-year old for a birthday gift? Duplo's new collection of "My First" sets are worth checking out.
Not only are they affordable toys that encourage creativity, but they're one of those toys that both boys and girls love so much that they're "pass-down"-worthy. (My kind of toy!) My First Duplo sets include: My First LEGO DUPLO Set, My First Supermarket, My First Zoo (above) and My First Fire Station.
Duplo Winnie the Pooh sets
And I'm sure you've heard the buzz about the upcoming Winnie the Pooh movie, so what better way to celebrate this storybook classic than with Winnie the Pooh-themed Duplo sets. LEGO recently introduced two Winnie the Pooh Duplo Sets, Winnie's Picnic and Winnie's House (below.)
Winnie's Picnic is a smaller, 13-piece set that includes Winnie the Pooh-inspired bricks that give a nod to Pooh favorites like a pot of honey and trees. Winnie's House is a 40-piece set that features bricks to re-create Pooh's house and a few pals, too.

What's that again? McDonalds?! Yep. Hong Kong will be the first city in the world to roll out McDonald's nuptial packages for couples starting January 1 next year.
The package has all the details to attract a wedding banquet cynic or a Golden Arches obsessive: a baked apple pie wedding cake, dress made out of party balloons, kiddie party favors for guests, and of course, catering by McDonald's.
Alcohol is banned to make sure there would not be drunk party guests acting inappropriately at the family venue, so newly weds will have to toast their union with soft drinks instead. Glad to know they have that rule.
The cost will be a few thousand Hong Kong dollars, depending on what guests order on the spot. It is unlikely that the couple will be able to book the entire restaurant for their wedding, but at that price, who cares if there are babies screaming in the booth next doors?
The idea came about when one couple who met and dated at McDonald's held their wedding party at the Admiralty branch this year, according to McDonald's Hong Kong director of corporate communications and relations Helen Cheung.
McDonald's Hong Kong will also be accepting bookings for engagement parties and wedding anniversary parties starting today. McDonald's nuptial parties are only available at their Admiralty, Mei Foo and Smithfield branches for the time being, but the management will consider other venues if feedback is enthusiastic.
I guess if people are also more conscious on budget, McDonalds offers a cheaper alternative than the lavish hotels that people have come to expect. (Photo by McDonalds HK)

l ST JOHN'S
Former West Indies captain, Sir Richie Richardson is encouraging the youth in Antigua & Barbuda to emulate the achievements of cricket legends who were knighted last Friday.
Richardson and two other former international Antiguan cricketers, fast bowlers Sir Andy Roberts and Sir Curtly Ambrose received knighthoods during the first One Day International (ODI) between England and West Indies at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground.
"Hopefully, it's an inspiration for a lot of our young people, not just to become cricketers or sports persons, but just to aspire to be the best they can be so that they can be recognised, not only by the country but by people internationally, and that's what life is all about," Sir Richie said.
"It's not just about living simply. It's about working hard and devoting yourself to whatever you do and to become great."
Since receiving his knighthood, Richardson said he has been approached by a number of young players fascinated by his achievements.
"(Sunday), two young guys stopped me and asked me for my autograph, and they said they want to become cricketers, and one of them said, 'I want to be like you one day', and as a matter of fact, he said he would see me soon, meaning that he is going to make the West Indies team," said Richardson, who captained West Indies in 24 Tests.
"I was really inspired by that and that's what it is all about. Things like that really make me feel good because I see myself as an example for young people."
West Indies won Friday's match by 15 runs but lost by three wickets on Sunday. The third and final ODI will be played today at the same venue.

New warning over hands-free mobile phone use
Driver reaction times, such as the time taken to apply the brakes or steer away from danger, are significantly slower when driving whilst using a hands-free mobile phone than when driving whilst over the legal alcohol limit, according to a study by car insurer Direct Line, carried out by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
When travelling at 70 mph the affect on reaction time caused by the hands-free mobile conversation means that the vehicle travels 26ft further than one driven under 'normal conditions' before the driver is fully engaged and able to take the appropriate action.
In contrast, someone driving slightly over the legal alcohol limit would travel just 13ft further than someone driving under normal conditions before they responded - half the distance of the hands-free mobile using driver.
Previous research, highlighted by TRL in the study, has shown that any conversation taking place in the vehicle is a major distraction, with drivers' concentration levels reduced for an average of 10 minutes after the conversation has ended.
Meanwhile, although it is legal to use a hands-free kit to make a call whilst driving, over two fifths (41%) of motorists think the use of hands-free kits should be banned and 71% of motorists polled think that they are a distraction to the driver, according to data from esure car insurance. In 2007, 2,986 motorists were prosecuted for failing to have proper control of their vehicle while being distracted by hands-free phone calls.
The findings have been revealed following the Driving for Better Business campaign's call for a ban on hands-free mobile phone use last month.
The call was made after a woman was convicted of careless driver following a road crash in which another driver was killed. The woman, who was banned from driving for 12 months and fined £2,000, had been involved in conversations on her hands-free mobile phone when she ploughed into an oncoming car.
However, despite the delayed reaction times, it is not illegal to have a hands free mobile conversation whilst driving. Consequently it was viewed as a 'safe activity' by people taking part in the research study.
Despite an apparent lack of awareness of the full dangers of driving while using a hands-free phone, 52% of those asked would be in support of an outright ban on using mobile phones while driving.
Direct Line has found that 22% of drivers have made calls on a hands-free mobile whilst behind the wheel in the last year.
Maggie Game, head of car insurance at Direct Line, said: "Given that drink driving was responsible for 14,480 casualties, including 460 deaths, on the road in 2007, the potential for casualties from mobile phone use is frightening.
"Whilst serious injuries and death on the road as a result of drink driving are decreasing, the potential for mobile phones to be a contributory factor in serious road accidents can only increase."

Ultra-Ever Dry is a superhydrophobic (water) and oleophobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultra-Ever Dry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, oil and other liquids unlike any coating seen before. The other breakthrough associated with Ultra-Ever Dry is the superior coating adherence and abrasion resistance allowing it to be used in all kinds of applications where durability is required.
- Anti-Wetting – Keeps objects dry, water and many other liquids simply repel off.
Anti-Corrosion – Maximum corrosion protection since water and moisture never actually contact the base material.
- Anti-Icing – Keeps coated materials dry, eliminating the formation of ice.
- Anti-Contamination – Dust, dirt, water and other liquids that contain bacteria or radiation never actually contact the surface of the coated material so bacteria and radiation is greatly diminished or eliminated and easy to decontaminate to sterile, if needed.
- Self-Cleaning – The Ultra-Ever Dry repels dirty water and thick oils, and remains clean and virtually bacteria-free. When dust, dirt or other molecules accumulate on a coated surface, a light spray of water or a blast of air grabs the dust and removes it.
- Product Life-Extending – Many products fail from moisture, water, oil or simply getting too dirty for continued use. Use Ultra-Ever Dry to extend the life of work gloves and other PPE, electric motors by preventing moisture on the windings, coat nuts and bolts to prevent corrosion, coat tools, equipment, and virtually any item that needs to be kept dry, corrosion free, de-iced, uncontaminated or clean. Save money, provide greater safety and a cleaner work environment.

But what about the coffee shop on the corner, or the book store in the next block? Many businesses large and small now offer wireless service to their customers, and in many cases it's free. How can you know whether or not it's safe to send e-mail or browse the Web over one of these networks? The fact is, for many if not most of these networks you probably can't. Larger companies and chains will often contract with major service providers for their wireless operations and post security-related information on their websites (Starbucks, for example, does this for their service through T-Mobile). For small businesses, though, the wireless network may have been set up by the owners, or an employee who "knows something about computers" using "off the shelf" consumer equipment with little or no thought given to security. On one of these networks the guy at the table next to you could potentially be "sniffing" and capturing your network traffic - or, he could be doing it from a car in the parking lot across the street. The wireless signal doesn't stop at the sidewalk! Don't be afraid to ask management about their wireless security, and if they won't tell you - or worse, they don't know - you might want to think twice before joining that network.
And in fact, it's not at all unusual these days to turn on your wireless interface and find a half-dozen or more wireless networks available. In many cases the name of the network will give some indication of who is providing the service. On and around the Penn campus, for example, you should see "AirPennNet". If, however, the network name is something nondescript like "wireless_1", or in some cases the default name supplied by the equipment manufacturer (e.g., "linksys"), you're taking a chance by joining a network for which the location and operators are unknown, even if it's "free". Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
If you decide to set up your own wireless network, whether at home or at Penn, here are a few basic things you should pay attention to in order to make it as secure as possible:

Hey ho! In an effort to follow thru on my promise to grapple with some more topical non-trans stuff, today kicks off with a short commentary on a topical news story.
For the record, i'm not going to comment everything: that'd be daft. But where something tickles my fancy and maybe crosses into an area where i have some experience, that's a good place to start. Tempted too by the parallel that as my new fanny begins to settle into place, there's a t least one government minister behaving like a complete twat!
Step forward Policy Minister, Oliver Letwin, who this week has been talking about the need to instil "fear" into public sector workers. According to the Grauniad, he said:
"You can't have room for innovation and the pressure for excellence without having some real discipline and some fear on the part of the providers that things may go wrong if they don't live up to the aims that society as a whole is demanding of them".
Oh, alright. I'll cut him a smidgeon of slack. He is trying to make a point about competition and how one of the motive factors where you have competitive activity is fear of being beaten by the competition. But in years and years of working with blue chip companies, i've never yet seen that as a useful motivator.
What i have seen are the consequences of fear-driven environments. In large organisations, public and private sector alike, fear does not tend to lead to innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. Rather, it leads to immobility: everyone starts back protecting; no-one is responsible any more.
Every least mistake becomes a massive exercise in hunt the culprit: and frontline staff take refuge in rules, on the basis that if they don't break the rules, they can't be fired. A jobsworth culture emerges, with fear the absolute enemy of creative thinking.
I've seen fear, too, in places that were about to go under: it didn't help. Usually it just led to stranger and stranger desperate decisions being taken to little avail.
I've also, having worked briefly for News International some ten years back, seen how corrupting fear can be. Defensiveness. Cover-ups. Lack of taking responsibility.
Those weren't just organisational foibles: they became the organisation's culture, and i'd say contributed heavily to the result we've seen in recent months.
But maybe Letwin needs to walk the walk. And before any passing plod reads the next couple of pars, please note that this is IRONY. It is not incitement: no, sir! Or if it is, you'd better take Mr Letwin in for questioning at about the same time as you arrest me.
Cause maybe what we should be thinking about is how to assist Mr Letwin in his new doctrine. How about ringing his doorbell at one in the morning and shouting thru the Letwin box: "come up with some better ideas or we're going to get you".
Hmmmm. If that doesn't work, one could tie the message to a brick and hurl it thru his front window.
I guess that would make him a bit afraid…and then he'd start to work harder, better.
Wouldn't he?
And if not, whyever not?

***Now updated****
Portland has my heart.
I have traveled to a lot of different cities and have been lucky to experience a lot of different things, but there is something I find SO endearing about Portland that I cannot stop recommending this city to everyone I talk to. It's the artisanship that goes into the food, beer, and crafts that has me falling in love with the quirky city of 'Portlandia', made even more popular by the TV show of the same name.
Portland is an easy city navigate on foot or by bike. The backdrop of Mount Hood, the turning colour of the trees and the soft mist of rain made the city seem even more romantic to me. Haven't been to Portland? Go! Go! Go! Here are the things I got up to during my first getaway weekend and I just updated it from my recent (second) getaway!
Getting There – The TriMet Max Train will take you directly from Portland International Airport into downtown for a mere $2.50! You'll not only breeze past traffic, but you'll enjoy a pretty view of Mount Hood during this 40-minute train ride to downtown Portland.
Portland Saturday Market – The absolute shopping highlight of my trip was a walk through the Portland Saturday Market (which also runs on Sunday). It's like etsy come to life. This open-air market is full of local artisans and I picked up two art pieces for my kitchen, a knitted hat, a wooden spoon, a silk screened tank top and a baby rattle for a friend. Do not miss this!
Where To Shop – The state of Oregon also offers tax-free shopping, so if you're planning a big laptop, smartphone or shoe purchase – Portland is the place to do it! I found a bunch of unique local shops in The West End including the oh-so-hip Ace Hotel, Stumptown Coffee (a hometown favourite), Poler for Camping Stuff, WILL Leather Goods and Quin Candy (for all-natural lollipops & caramels).
If you're looking for the ultimate Portlandian souvenir, stop by Pendleton Woolen Mills for a wool blanket (above) made in the USA from this Oregon-based company. The Pearl District is a former warehouse area that features a few of my favourite shops like Anthropologie, Splendid, Lululemon and local independent book store, Powell's Books. It's also a great shopping area.
Food Carts – The food carts of Portland are a little different from a food truck, these are stationary stands that line the outer edges of the many parking lots around Portland. The biggest 'pod' of food carts is at Southwest 10th and Alder where I spotted food from Thailand, Iran, Georgia and even Scotland. Portland boasts 475+ food pods and counting!
Brunch it Out – Portlandians LOVE to brunch and the best little brunch village is Tasty n Alder with an all-day, everyday gourmet brunch menu. The selections are fusion-inspired and I got a serious kick out of my eggs + bacon bibimbap.
Dinner with a View – Departure Restaurant sits atop The Nines Hotel with pretty views of Portland at night. Every single dish that came out from the kitchen blew us away. The menu is Asian-inspired with dim sum, grilled skewers and wok-fried dishes.
Drink the Beer! – There are 60 breweries inside Portland's city limits and we made it to Deschutes Brewery where we were delighted by the beer flights and homemade pizzas. The atmosphere is lively and the decor makes you feel like you're at a friend's cabin.
Another great brewery to check out in The Pearl District is Bridgeport Brewing – the oldest craft brewery in Oregon. I had this delicious sampler for only $9! The food is also pub food at its finest – I definitley recommend eating here as well.
If I had more time I would have also sampled the beer at Rogue Ales and had myself a mini-Oktoberfest at Gustav's Bier Stube.
Voodoo Doughnut – This 24-hour donut joint always has a line-up out front, even when we scored our sweet boxes at 10:30 PM at night. Imagine Willy Wonka-esque flavours with bacon, maple glaze, mango filling, cream cheese icing, Cap'n Crunch, Oreo cookies and Cocoa Puffs. This is the MOST inventive donut place I have ever been to. Voodoo Doughnuts is a must-stop on every tour to Portland.
Where To Stay – When I mentioned to my friends from Portland that I was staying at Hotel Monaco (a Kimpton property), they exclaimed it was one of the best hotels in town. I definitely agree. The location was less than five minutes from the bustling Pioneer Square and Mall.
I had no problems walking anywhere in the Downtown core, to the Pearl District and West End and the transit options around the hotel were endless. What I loved most about Hotel Monaco were the quirky furnishings, the complimentary bike rentals, nightly wine hour and the thoughtful small touches of a boutique hotel chain.
On my most recent visit, I had the chance to stay at another Kimpton property – the newly renovated Hotel Vintage. This wine-themed hotel pays hommage to Oregon wine country and also hosts a daily wine hour. Read more from my stay + photos from Hotel Vintage.
Visit the Museum – It's likely that it will rain during your visit, so book a date into The Portland Art Musem and check out classic and contemporary art while staying dry!
I only did scratch the surface of what Portland has to offer – a weekend truly isn't long enough. I plan a return visit in the spring and hope to share with you more of what Portland has to offer. Until then, I whole-heartedly encourage a trip to this wonderful city – just make sure to wear your stretchy pants for all the delicious food, beer, coffee and sweet treats in Portland.
To learn more or to plan your visit, go to Travel Portland.
Have you been to Portland? Any suggestions on places to eat, drink and be merry?

text: There's a new bit of automation available for libtool packages, using the variable LIBTOOL_LA_FILES. This automatically generates all the possibly OS-dependent library entries in PLIST, including the .a, .so, and .so.* (and .dylib on Darwin). My intent is eventually to use this on all libtool-using packages, so that libtool itself can be made more "standard" depending on the host OS. To test, I've converted one package to use this new scheme, with diff attached (devel/rx). It works for me on NetBSD and Interix, and I'd line some reports that it works on other platforms, particularly Darwin, AIX, and Irix. Check $PKG_DBDIR/rx-1.5/+CONTENTS to make sure all the library files are properly included, even though the static PLIST does not contain them. If all is well, I'll undertake a blanket conversion and update the pkgsrc documentation to match, but will hold back the commit until after the 2004Q3 branch. This will pave the way to a fix for PR pkg/26633 as well after the quarterly branch. (As a happy side effect, this will allow mk.conf to do LIBTOOL=${SHLIBTOOL} to avoid buiding static libraries, while still having accurate PLISTs.)

Sep.3 (GMM/Inautonews.com) Force India has played down this week's alarming news from India about team supremo Vijay Mallya.
Amid the decline of his airline Kingfisher, the former billionaire was declared a 'wilful defaulter' by the public sector lender the United Bank of India, meaning he will lose his director positions and be unable to borrow money.
An insider explained: "Any company in which they are directors, those companies would be affected."
And the very latest news is that India's supreme court rejected Mallya's petition challenging the 'wilful defaulter' tag, causing some to wonder if the 58-year-old's entire empire could begin to crumble.
The chief of Force India's title sponsor Sahara, Subrata Roy, is currently in jail on financial charges, but a team spokesperson has played down the effect Mallya's latest troubles will have on the Silverstone based outfit.
"The team will not be affected in any way," the spokesperson told PA Sport.

The CW
Arrow and The Flash, together again.
The Flash crew have returned from Earth-2, but they're about to get visitors from their own turf when the Diggles (David Ramsey and Audrey Marie Anderson) head to Central City to help the S.T.A.R. Labs team take on King Shark, the terrifying man-shark hybrid metahuman that terrorized the town once before.
"What's in store is that we're chasing a 14-foot half-man, half-shark. Just wrap your head around that one, alright? It's fun," Arrow star Ramsey tells E! News about his character's latest crossover.
John Diggle is a logical man, so the fact that he's not only dealing with someone with superpowers but he's also dealing with someone who looks like a shark with legs is always fun to play, Ramsey says of his straight-laced Team Arrow member.
"It's the Diggles! Mr. and Mrs. Smith going to chase a half-man, half-shark. It's a great story," he says. "And anytime Diggle, who's freaked out to no end, gets to watch Flash and his powers, that's always fun, right? Because Diggle's reaction is always the same. This is a nuts and bolts guy. Now he's dealing with superhumans and he just can't wrap his head around it."
Diggle is at his funniest when dealing with The Flash (come on, you know he's a highlight of every crossover event), and Ramsey tells us that he loves to play with that humor—and to play in the different onscreen DC worlds. "It's great TV right now, man. To get to cross over with that, and then Legends, and God knows what can happen with Supergirl. It's just a great time for us."
Check out an exclusive sneak peek of The Flash episode above, in which Diggle and Lila arrive in Central City to tell the S.T.A.R. Labs team that King Shark has escaped from his A.R.G.U.S. holding tank and is hell-bent on taking down the Flash.
The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Gov. Jan Brewer took the stage Sept. 10 with rocker and restaurateur Alice Cooper to convince Arizonans that dining out is good for the state.
Announcing a three-month public-awareness campaign called Dine 4 AZ, they said going to restaurants supports businesses and helps preserve jobs. Brewer noted that restaurants generate 10 percent of Arizona's tax revenues.
"We are working hard to lead the Grand Canyon State forward and out of this recession, and Dine 4 AZ fits perfectly into our plan," she said. "Please treat your family to a meal and we'll get through this together."
Participating restaurants are offering coupons, discounts and promotions at Dine4AZ.com.
"People come to Arizona to have fun. And it's our responsibility not to gouge the audience, not to gouge the customers – just to give them a great time," Cooper said.
Shamrock Foods Co., a Phoenix-based food distributor, is sponsoring the campaign.
With more than a quarter million employees, Arizona's food-service industry is vital to state's economy, said Stephen D. Chucri, president and CEO of the Arizona Restaurant Association.
"We've been hit hard by unemployment, immigration issues and rampant foreclosures in our housing market, but with the Dine 4 AZ initiative we can all do some simple things to get our economy rolling again," he said.
Arizona businesses offering food and drink shed 6,300 jobs during the year ending in July, including a loss of 4,500 jobs from June to July, according to the state Department of Commerce.
Marshall Vest, director of Economic and Business Research Center at the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management, said he doesn't expect the Dine 4 AZ to have a large impact.
"All of these campaigns are a feel-good type of effort to get people to think about how their actions and purchasing decisions make a difference," Vest said. "So I think it's beneficial, but I think the overall effect on the economy would be pretty small."
The news conference was held at Alice Cooperstown in downtown Phoenix. Cooper said business at his restaurant has been consistent, mostly because of its proximity to the US Airways Center and Chase Field.
His advice to restaurant owners: Stay consistent and do what you know best.
For example, if you make a great pizza then continue to make a great pizza.

I'm a late starter but Agent glory justifies early mornings
Winning the bumper at Navan on Agent James on Sunday was a surreal experience. A couple of years ago, my two daughters started riding ponies, so I used to hack around with them on half-bred horses. A man always likes to push himself, though.
I fancied a bit of speed, shortened my stirrups and then my old friend Richard Hughes began taking me into Richard Hannon's to ride out. I've been dumped on my back a few times, but it's a great way to keep fit, a healthy break from work in London.
Soon enough I started thinking about getting an amateur rider's licence.
When you're running around an Astro Turf pitch doing a beep test with a bunch of 16-year-old kids, you do wonder what you're at, but that was all part of the challenge.
James Collins, a mutual friend of Richard's and mine that rode in Ireland years ago, was tasked with sourcing a suitable conveyance. He found a horse by Oscar at Charlie Swan's before Christmas. I named him Agent James in honour of my 'agent'.
Next thing, I am navigating my way through the dense Navan fog. I don't know whether I was more nervous or excited, but there's little anyone can do for you once you have been legged up, and Charlie had walked the course with me beforehand.
You've just got to get on with it. Apart from sleep, I've never had a quieter five minutes in my life – I was in the zone.
We kept it together to beat the favourite under Patrick Mullins, who gave me a pat on the back afterwards. That was a nice touch.
Charlie and his team had the horse primed, and I had done a lot of work to make sure I wouldn't let the side down. In the summer, I cycled from Marble Arch to Knock with five others for the local hospice, doing 100 miles a day for five days.
Six days a week, I ride out at 4.45am with Thomas Gallagher, whose Ratlett yard is just a couple of miles up the road from where I live in north London. I jog up there and back twice a week and ride two lots every morning, so I am very active.
I also gave up junk food and smoking. It may all seem a big commitment for a 40-year-old man, but it's a fine feeling to be riding out on the gallops every morning. There is nothing like it.
Sure, it's easier in the summer when you are rising with the sun, but I need to be gone from the yard at 6.30am for work, so early morning is the only time to do it. It's a good habit, and I manage just fine on five or six hours' sleep. As I see it, it's great to be able to do it, and one thing London has taught me is that if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. It's the best city in the world.
I came as a labourer from Bohola in Mayo in 1988 and set up my company in 1996. Business is good and the Irish community is strong – 75pc of my staff are Irish. People moan about having to leave Ireland for work, but it's a small world. London is only an hour away on the plane, yet you'd swear they were going to the moon.
I was back in Thomas' at 4.45 on Monday morning. He has set up his yard with a view to taking out his licence shortly, having done a number of years with Ger Lyons, so I was never not going to turn up for him. Sunday was great, but life goes on, too.
All being well, I will be back to ride Agent James in a winners' race. If he proves himself again, Cheltenham or Aintree might be considered. The thought of it!
If I'm honest, though, I'd happily mooch about in low-key bumpers for the next few years. I started late, so I just want to knock as much fun out of it while I still can.

"MD Simulations of Gas Flows in Nano-Channels and Interface Thermal Resistance...."
December 2 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM - Birck 1001
This talk focuses on our group's recent research on molecular dynamics simulations of gas flows in nano-scale confined geometries, and interface thermal resistance between simple liquids and solids. Gas flow research demonstrates the importance of wall force field effects that penetrate approximately 1 nm from each surface. Gas density, viscous and normal stress distributions and the velocity profiles within this region show deviations from the Boltzmann equation solutions. Presence of this near wall sub-layer indicates the breakdown of similitude between the rarefied and nano-scale confined gas flows, solely based on the Knudsen number. In addition, MD simulations performed in a wide Knudsen range enable prediction of the Tangential Momentum Accommodation Coefficient for argon gas in contact with FCC surfaces.

Beers From Germany
Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock
A very strong, rich, profoundly dark beer to be savored on special occasions. Celebrator is served as a winter warmer in Bavaria, where it is a noted example of the "Double-Bock" style. Despite its full richness, this beer has a nice smoky dryness.
Ayinger Oktober Fest Märzen (Seasonal)
Brewed in early Spring and lagered throughout the Summer for release in the Fall, this Oktober Fest is clean and crisp with the distinctive Vienna malt contributing amber color and delicate flavors.
Erdinger Hefe Weissbier
A refreshing, tingling and mellow delight. The fresh, glistening, amber color and a superb frothy head are unmistakable.
Erdinger Hefe Weissbier Dark
A refreshingly rich, smooth weissbier with a full-bodied flavor. Fine hops and dark malts contribute to its spicy flavor.
Franziskaner Hefe Weissbier
Top fermented, very refreshing, brewed according to a time honored Bavarian recipe.
Gaffel Kölsch
Delicately bitter, pleasant, and slightly hoppy taste. Brewed according to a time-honored family recipe and the German Purity Law of 1516.
Hofbrau Dunkel
A bottom fermented dark that defines the expression, "Munich-style" beer. It has a malty sweetness with a faint hint of roasted caramel.
Hofbrau Münchner Kindl Weissbier
A typical Munich wheat beer clouded with yeast. A sparkling and refreshing top fermented beer.
Hofbrau Original Premium Lager
Zippy, hoppy, crisp and grainy; classic lager mouthful. A good beer for those wanting something basic.
Klosterbrauerei Ettaler Dunkel
Aromas of caramel, chocolate and toffee with a ruby color. Deep notes of caramel, nuts, cocoa, and toffee.
Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier (Seasonal)
This classic Bavarian "Märzen" beer is amber in color with a clean, malty nose. A superb hospitality beer with abundant German heritage and flavor, this Oktoberfest is neither heavy nor bitter.
Paulaner Salvator
The very first double bock ever brewed. This beer is the standard by which all others are judged. This "Cabernet of Beers" is big, hearty, rich and often referred to as "liquid bread".
Schlenkerla Helles Lagerbier
There's a light roasted flavor of burnt chocolate and a lingering smokiness against the malt to give it a full flavor with a decent amount of earthy hoppiness.
Schlenkerla Rauchbier
The world's classic smoked beer! Gaining its flavor from Franconian beechwood, this beer has a smoky aroma with a dryness the moment it hits the tongue and a full, smoky flavor that lingers.
Schneider Aventinus
The darker twin of Schneider Weisse, made from pale, crystal and dark malts. Dark in color, with a spicy robust flavor, this beer complements roasted foods.
Schneider Aventinus Eisbock
This tastes of dark fruits, brown sugar, and caramel with a slight roastiness.
Schneider Weisse
The world's oldest wheat beer from Bavaria. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, an excellent beer for complementing sausages and cheese.
Bitburger Premium Pils
A full bodied pilsner brewed according to the German purity law. Dry finished with a little more hops than a normal pilsner.
Kostritzer Schwarzbier
A true Schwarzbier (black beer), the toasted malts lead to a nice caramel, toffee flavor and lightly sweet finish.
Weihenstephaner Kristall Weissbier
Brewed by the world's oldest brewery, this beer is light in body with rich, fresh aromas and juicy flavors.
Beers From Continental Europe
Affligem Blond
A fruity sweet taste is decently balanced with mild bitterness and spice from hops that round out into a semi-sweet, dry finish with a hint of pale malts.
Chimay Blue
Its flavor only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt.
Chimay Red
Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness.
Delirium Tremens
Starts with a creamy head with a sweet and spicy nose. The palate brings white grapes mixed with wheat. Finishes with orange zest and clover.
Foret Organic Saison
Brewed from 100% organically cultivated hops, barley and pure well water. Bold, dry, and herbal, this bottle conditioned ale is a treat.
Green's Amber Ale (Gluten Free)
This medium bodied Belgian has subtle caramel and but flavors, with a refined herbal hop aroma and finish.
La Chouffe
This Belgian micro brewery crafts La Chouffe with local Ardennes spring water, top fermenting yeast, Pilsner malts, white candy sugar, saaz hops and coriander for spice.
Lindeman's Framboise
Belgium's classic raspberry beer with overtones of tart-sweet, fresh raspberries mingling with the characteristically wine-like flavor of Goudenband brown ale.
Orval Trappist Ale
Triple fermentation creates one of the most intriguingly complex beers in the world. Flavors range from malty & yeasty fruit to incredibly hoppy. Traditionally served with fresh fruits, cheese, and seafood. Brewed in a Belgian Trappist Monastery founded in 1070 A.D.
Piraat Ale
A golden colored ale with a full aroma of honey. Full bodied with a crisp, clean finish.
Sterkens Hoogstraten Poorter
This dark, full-bodied ale has a sweet flavor, with a slightly bitter after-taste.
Wychwood Hobgoblin
Brewed with chocolate and crystal malts. A full bodied Ruby beer that delivers a delicious chocolate toffee malt flavour.
Tripel Karmeliet
Made from barley, wheat, and oats, Tripel Karmeliet is a brew of some finesse and complexity, with a wheaty lightness, sweet lemons, an oaty creaminess, and a spicy dryness.
Westmalle Dubbel
This is a deliciously malty, chocolatey beer, with hints of banana and passion fruit with a dry finish. The village of West Malle, north of Antwerp, is home to the Trapist Abbey known in full as Our Lady of Sacred Heart.
Beers From The UK
Fullers ESB (England)
A world classic malt accented with a robust balance of hop bitterness. Full in color, maltier, fruitier and less hoppy than an IPA.
Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale (England)
Walnut-like color and palate of hazelnuts. Wonderful balance of roasted crystal malt and aromatic hops.
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout (England)
The addition of oats with barley provide a rich, velvety texture. Flavors of chocolate, espresso, and a hint of anise create a malty sweetness throughout.
Samuel Smith Taddy Porter (England)
The earliest English dark ale-porters precede stouts. Rich, with pronounced chocolate malt, coffee and yeasty fruity notes.
St. Peter's Ale (England)
Brewed for over 700 years from spring water and organically grown hops and barley, this refreshing ale has delicate character with a creamy finish.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout (England)
Chocolate malt and real dark chocolate combined with Young's award winning full-flavored dark beer. Satisfyingly indulgent!
American Craft Beers/Local Beers
Two Hearted Ale (Bell's - Kalamazoo, MI)
India Pale Ale style with American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.
Centennial IPA (Founders - Grand Rapids, MI)
Frothy head with a floral bouquet. Citrus accents from the abundance of dry-hopping. Malty undernotes with the hop character for a finish that never turns too bitter.
Arrogant Bastard Ale (Stone - Escondido, CA)
This is an aggressive beer. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We suggest you stick to safer and more familiar territory--maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign.
Sky High Rye (Arcadia - Kalamazoo, MI)
West coast style Pale ale with a massive floral aroma of hops. Notes of lemons, peaches anchored by sweet malty flavor.
Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale (Founders - Grand Rapids, MI)
Dark Ruby in color and brewed with seven imported malts. Complex finish with hints of smoke, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hops- "Ain't for the wee lads!"
Matilda Belgian Style Ale (Goose Island - Chicago, IL)
Wild in character, with a slightly fruity aroma and a spicy yeast flavor. Dry and quenching, it's the perfect accompaniment at the dining table or socializing.

I don't know. As a philosophy, this sounds impeccable. So I kept reading for concrete examples, and I found only generalities, with an underlying implication that "technology will solve all this." And maybe it will, if it is technology founded upon these genuinely elegant principles. I am going to read again, just to make sure I did not miss some precise example of a synergistic, global solution to even one particular problem. The boogey-man in the background, of course, is whether the financial and corporate powers that be will even bend to such an approach. If not, the idealism is profound; the practical implementation is suspect, and we're back to that elusive need for a consciousness revolution, if not a physical one as well. Thank you for the mind-stretching explication. Well done.

Though fourth quarter earnings fell 36% to $73.2 million, or 74 cents a share, RL's net revenues for the full year (fiscal 2012) increased 21% to $6.9 billion. The company reported strong retail and wholesale segment expansion and comparable store sales increased 14%. RL's balance sheet did get a boost for the year. The company currently has $1.3 billion in cash and investments compared to the $1.1 billion it had on the books at the end of fiscal 2011.
Part of the downswing is attributable to the selling calendar. The Wall Street Journal reported that the company's fiscal quarter and year didn't align with holidays. For example, RL's quarter closed on April 2, missing Easter by a full week. Last year that extra week brought in about $70 million in sales and 13 cents in per-share earnings. There was a similar scenario in reporting Christmas sales.
The rest is due to cost of raw goods such as cotton --a major ingredient in all that signature denim and plaid. The price per pound of cotton rose to historic heights in late 2010 http://www.fastcompany.com/1708845/wanted-sustainable-and-cheap-alternatives-to-cotton prompting many apparel brands to tweak their designs to use less of the stuff in upcoming collections. Others raised retail prices to offset the bite. Ralph Lauren's luxe image holds the brand fast to its uncompromising stance on manufacturing quality.
Bottom line: RL's got a good thing going. The company's still eyeing more international expansion and its broadening portfolio of brands. Denim & Supply launched last year http://www.denimblog.com/2011/08/ralph-lauren-launches-denim-supply/ has been aggressively promoted with a variety of marketing initiatives including a collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii targeted blogger promotions. As independent fashion bloggers continue to wield even greater influence over shoppers wallets, RL moved quickly to cover the backs and bottoms of fashionistas with the biggest followings (and some with agents) in effort to introduce the new collection to eager buyers in the target demographic. The company's also
What's more, despite a few dips --most significantly in February '09 to $34.47 (it's currently at $147.49)-- the company's stock has continued to climb. Remember that market free-fall last summer in which the Dow fell 4.6 percent to 10,719.94, and the S&P plummeted 21.65 points, to 465.90, its fourth-steepest decline since 2008? RL sailed through with 32% revenue growth and earnings went up 52%. Time will tell.

A BLUNDERING nurse clung on to her job for more than two years despite making a catalogue of "incredible" errors while working on Lothian hospital wards.
Affiong Patrick Antiah, who was employed as a staff nurse at Liberton Hospital and the Royal Victoria Hospital, gave a drug to the wrong patient and drew up a dose of a heart slowing drug that was too high, with potentially fatal consequences, within two months of starting her induction with NHS Lothian.
She went on to make dozens of major mistakes and displayed a lack of knowledge of even the basics of medication and patient care. They included potentially causing asphyxiation by going to administer drugs orally to a "nil by mouth" patient, incorrectly assembling an oxygen mask and not giving epilepsy medication to a patient.
She also incorrectly advised a patient that folic acid was an iron tablet, was not aware amoxycillin contains penicillin and blacked out records on a medication sheet – a legal document – after making a mistake.
But instead of being sacked by NHS Lothian, the nurse, who held a band five post which now attracts pay of up to £27,900 per year, was repeatedly asked to write "reflective pieces" after making the dangerous mishaps, was sent on workshops and was offered the "intensive support" and supervision of more senior staff, while continuing to be allowed to administer drugs.
It took five capability meetings before Ms Antiah was finally dismissed by health bosses, in part because she "posed a clinical risk to patients".
At a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearing this month, more than 50 separate allegations were found to be proven against the nurse.
Tory health spokesman Jackson Carlaw MSP said: "The failings set out here are really quite incredible, and would be the kind of shortcomings you'd expect from someone who'd never set foot in a hospital.
"Nurses have to work incredibly hard at university and on the job to get to where they are because it's a pretty rigorous learning curve. That makes it even more bizarre that this nurse could get so far knowing so little. Some very vulnerable patients were being put in harm's way as a result."
The NMC found that Ms Antiah had "failed to demonstrate the standards of knowledge, skill and judgement required to practice without supervision as a qualified band 5 nurse", that her "record-keeping was deficient" and that her "clinical reasoning and/or clinical decision-making were deficient".
But the panel stopped short of striking her off its register. Instead, Ms Antiah, who complained that she had been bullied and discriminated against while working at the health board, was given a strict conditions of practice order.
In an online petition entitled "Stop racism in the healthcare industry" believed to have been signed by Ms Antiah and claiming she had a degree in heath care studies and a diploma in nursing, a comment under her name said she had been bullied by "senior members" and added: "If my color [sic] was white I would have got full support that I needed as a newly qualified nurse, even the same errors have been commited by a white nurse but brushed under the carpet."
The hearing was told that since being dismissed by NHS Lothian in August 2009, Ms Antiah had gone on to work as a healthcare assistant and currently has a job in a nursing home. She took three courses at Napier University after being sacked, but passed only one.
Margaret Watt, chair of the Scotland Patients Association, said: "These are very serious misdemeanours and they had the opportunity to say enough is enough. They can't have been thinking straight to keep her on for two years. She should have been sent back to university."
Melanie Hornett, NHS Lothian's nurse director, said: "We have a capability policy in place for all employees, when poor performance is identified. This allows a supportive approach to be taken. However, if subsequent training, referral to independent counselling services or consideration of alternative employment fails to produce the required improvement, then dismissal on the grounds of incapability is considered."
Ms Antiah could not be reached for comment.

What are the Three Cs of Hops?
We're continuing our exploration of hops this month with a look at the three hops that have come to define the American Pale Ale and IPA. They are commonly referred to as the "Three Cs" and are Cascade, Centennial and Columbus hops.
All three of these hops are grown in the Pacific Northwest and are the young American upstarts in the hop world. They have only been around since the early 1950s. Compare this to Hallertau, a staple of German brewing, and Goldings, used in many English ales, which have been around for centuries. But without these three hops, we may never have had the distinctive flavors and styles that gave rise to American craft brewing.
Cascade was the hop heard around the world. It was developed at Oregon State University and was approved for cultivation in 1972. It is now one of the most used hops by American craft brewers. Cascade is what you taste in the typical West Coast IPA. It has a citrusy, floral and almost grapefruity character. It's low in alpha acid content, so it is used more for aroma and flavor than for bittering. When you stick your nose in an IPA and get a burst of flowers and grapefruit, that's Cascade. A good example of Cascade hopping can be found in Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Centennial hops is the more bitter big brother of Cascade and is sometimes called a Super Cascade. It's named after the Centennial festival in Washington State and has a similar flavor and aroma profile to Cascade. But Centennial tends to be a little more bitter and not as citrusy. It has almost double the amount of alpha acid content of Cascade and is often used as a bittering hops as well as an aroma hops. Bear Republic's Red Rocket is a good example of the Centennial hops profile.
Columbus hops, also called Tomahawk and Zeus, is quite different from the two above. It has a more earthy, spicy, herbal flavor and aroma not too unlike marijuana and is a dual purpose hops. It has an even higher alpha acid content than Centennial and works well with both Centennial and Cascade to balance them out. Columbus can be very potent when used in dry-hopping (adding hops to the fermenter). If your beer smells like the parking lot of a Grateful Dead concert, it's probably hopped with Columbus. Green Flash West Coast IPA has a good Columbus hops profile.
It's difficult sometimes to nail down the hops that a brewer is using unless they tell you as many of these flavor and aroma notes can change slightly during the brewing process. But if you pick up a hint of grapefruit, or it smells a little like your "friends" dorm in college, there's a good chance the brewer was using one or more of the Three Cs.

Raw nuts are one of the best food items that you can eat for a number of reasons. They are a powerhouse of nutrients and are quite rightly referred to as a superfood. There are a host of health benefits to easting raw nuts. Not only are they inexpensive, but they are also readily available in most health food stores and supermarkets.
Raw nuts are higher in natural nutrients than roasted versions, as processing of the nuts effectively destroys the nutritional benefit they have in their raw form. For this reason, most would agree that it's better to choose nuts in their most natural state, with as little processing as possible.Omega Oils
These are more commonly known as Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), and are broken into two groups--Omega 3 and Omega 6. Omega 6 oils are found in foods such as baked goods, margarine, eggs, chicken and many cereals.
However, the health benefits of Omega oils, which includes improved mental function, healthy skin and regulated cholesterol levels are maximized when taken in conjunction with Omega 3 oils in a ratio of 2:1 respectively.
Raw nuts are a good source of these Omega 3 oils and almost every type of nut contains them. The nuts can be easily incorporated into the balance with each meal. For instance, at breakfast, you could replace 1/3 of the amount of cereal you pour for yourself with a portion of almonds to reduce Omega 6 and increase Omega 3 oils in a simple and tasty way.
Protein is needed by almost every cell in the human body, and raw nuts are an excellent natural source. For those who are working out to build muscle mass, a handful of raw nuts is a fast, easy and tasty way to get the necessary additional protein boost. For those looking to lose weight, protein has also been known to help alleviate hunger pangs, which can help regulate the appetite during the day.
Nuts can be a great alternative for vegetarians who derive their protein from sources other than animals. Nuts can also be used in a number of recipes and can take on the texture of meat in some dishes.
Raw nuts are a great source of dietary fiber, which can have great benefits to anyone interested in improving her health. Fiber keeps the digestive system operating smoothly and ensures that waste is carried out of the body in the form of large, soft stool. It is a known fact that not enough Americans are getting enough fiber in their diets, and this can lead to digestive disorders including bloating, lethargy and constipation. Just a handful of mixed raw nuts can boost the fiber intake dramatically.
Although raw nuts have many positive health benefits, some can contain relatively high amounts of saturated fat. For this reason, eating a selection of nuts rather than one particular kind will provide a better range of nutrition.

Welcome to Heaven Not Harvard
What started as a mantra for my parenting, has become a focal point for my life, the contrast between the world's pressures in comparison to God's promises and peace, focusing on Heaven not Harvard.
A fellow mom and I were struggling with the differences between our fantasies of parenting and the real-life children God gave us, when I had a moment of clarity, realizing that God's plan for our children focused on their hearts, not accomplishments. If we win them for Christ, what else matters in eternity?
Heaven – Not Harvard
Luke 12:33-34 ESV "Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
I love focusing on storing the permanent treasures in heaven which will focus our hearts there instead of this world.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
I may not have all the answers, but I know who does, and we're walking closer to His way everyday, looking toward Heaven not Harvard.
