A pair of players buried on Notre Dame's depth chart plan on transferring, according to a report.
Cornerback Lo Wood and tight end Alex Welch will pass up a fifth-year of eligibility at Notre Dame, according to Irish Illustrated. A university spokesman said on Monday the school had no statement on the reported transfers.
Wood was expected to start at cornerback last season before tearing his Achilles tendon in training camp. he was unable to unseat KeiVarae Russell, a converted running back who moved to cornerback, this season and fell behind Cole Luke and Devin Butler during the season.
Wood moved to safety in an emergency role for Saturday's game against Stanford. He had four tackles this season.
Welch was mainly used on special team and had one catch in his career at Notre Dame. The senior missed last season after suffering a torn ACL in training camp and was behind Troy Niklas and Ben Koyack this season.
Wood and Welch are on track to graduate after the semester, and the two players should be immediately eligible to play for another program next season.

Moffat Doesn't "Get" Doctor Who Fans' Comic Con Trailer Woes
The last thing Doctor Who needed in its 50th anniversary year was division. Thanks to the reduced episode count and the infamous San Diego Comic Con exclusive trailer for The Day of the Doctor, however, division is what we've had.
While the rediscovery of The Enemy of the World and most of The Web of Fear has helped to placate some frustrations (along with the perpetually awesome BBC trailer for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary) the SDCC affair – nay, debacle – has continued to bubble under the surface, along with disappointment that Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston won't be appearing in The Day of the Doctor (not that we'd actually know at this point…)
So, surely Steven Moffat has some wise words of empathy for disappointed fans? Well, to be honest he's largely been silent about these things, other than cryptically clueing us to keep the guesses coming until November 23d. For this, he is greatly respected; The Moff is doing his job in keeping us talking about the show.
However, a new interview in Broadcast magazine – out Friday, industry types – reveals that perhaps Steven Moffat doesn't get it.
Comic Con has a history of screening exclusive material. I understand if people are feeling eager – but don't you think it would have been a little bit early for everyone to see it? We were creating a buzz about it among the people who'd slept out all night for it.
This is going to get out, so let's consider how fans dying to see the trailer are going to take these words.
Moffat considers SDCC "a little bit early," but how many times have trailers for Christmas episodes aired at the end of a run, or coming series at the end of Christmas episodes during the RTD and early Moffat era?
The view from K Towers is that the now not-so grand Moff is making a rod for his own back in trying to justify the SDCC screening. With further analysis (and we're Doctor Who fans – it's what we do, right?!), it gets worse.
Take "the people who'd slept our all night for it." Does a Doctor Who fan, writer and showrunner really intend to say to you Kasterborite, dear Doctor Who fan, new and old, that the trailer was not for you unless you were one of an extremely select bunch of fans. An elite, if you will.
Surely not?! Surely over his youthful and adult years, Steven Moffat has experienced the same dismissal of his fandom as many other fans, has seen unpleasant cliques and groups develop and attempt to hijack the show's fallow period as their own little kingdoms.
An elite?
What would the Doctor say? What would Davros say?
If you were a fan particularly unhappy about the SDCC trailer, expected the lack of Paul McGann and other classic Doctors in the 50th anniversary, how might you feel about a statement that seems to say "Deal with it, Whovian. It's not your trailer - it's someone else's."
Now, this isn't our opinion. We're extremely happy that Doctor Who's 50th anniversary trailer was used to create a buzz; we're delighted that a small group of people – many of which weren't even hardcore fans (due to the location, career of many attendees and the amount of time it takes to enthuse passionately about multiple shows) – were able to see something that the rest of us weren't.
But I'm pretty certain a lot of fans aren't too pleased, and that these new comments by Steven Moffat are going to be taken very badly in some circles.
Doctor Who has long had a culture of the people in charge being forthcoming in their relationship with the fans, going back to the John Nathan-Turner era, and to some extent beyond. Perhaps it's time to bring this to an end, in the name of peace and sanity of fans and showrunner alike?

50 Responses to Moffat Doesn't "Get" Doctor Who Fans' Comic Con Trailer Woes
I feel like this is being blown out of proportion.
I'm an American and just as angry that the people at sdcc got to see the trailer, but the shows already got so much going for it this year. Honestly, name one other show with this much going on for ANY anniversary.
Blown out of proportion is right. If a dozen people who own a blog/write for a column are mad at Moffat for whatver, suddley millons of fans are asking for his head on a stake? come on. He's done an awesome job at having people talk about the show.
There are more important things in life to get uptight about.
Sure, I'm upset that Moffat chose not to give everyone the trailer. Yes, it seems wrong for him to essentially give special status to those who "slept out all night for it." However, the division that truly saddens me is the anger that has come from the UK to the US over this. I have been outright attacked on forums and comment threads by bitter-UK fans who said that I have no right to be upset because America got the trailer. These people tell me that Doctor Who is their show, and I and my fellow US-Whovians are more or less fake fans who deserve nothing Doctor Who-related. Moffat didn't give America special treatment, he gave a handful of fans at San Diego special treatment. I was 3000 miles away at the time. I received no more special treatment than the UK fans did. Yet I have been treated like a villain by some. The funny thing is that while it is a British show, the Doctor isn't British. He's an alien. And the actor isn't always British either. I may not pay a licensing fee, but in order to get BBC America, I have to pay for the highest-tier package from my cable company. Doctor Who is no longer just a British show anymore, it's a fandom that spans the globe. I am an American-Whovian; there is nothing wrong with that. I have not gotten special treatment. So if you want someone to be angry with, be angry with Moffat. Don't tear down other fans.
While I mostly agree, I have to nitpick on "the actor isn't always British". So far, every one of them has been, so there is really no basis for this claim. Remember, Scottish people are British too. Perhaps you meant "English"?
Well, I suppose that you could make an argument that Richard E Grant isn't British (born in Swaziland), and he was sort-of-kind-of the Doctor, twice…
Fair enough, but neither of those are canon, after all.
I do not see the issue here….seems more like the writer here wants to complain that he did not get to see something that 99.99999999999% of us have not.
The Dr. would not approve of this article.
No matter what he would have done people would have gotten upset. For instance if they showed it at a comic con in London people would still be pissed. Honestly get over it. I don't understand why trailers are so important in the first place. I like the element of surprise. I wont be watching the trailer. I want EVERYTHING to be a surprise for me.
It's not the showing of the trailer that's got fans upset. If they showed the trailer at any Con then released it a few hours or days later, then that would be fine. It's the fact that only a small group of Whovians got to see it and then were threatened that if they so much as shared what went on in the trailer, then there would never be a Who trailer at Comic-Con again. Maybe you don't value trailers much, but other people do; it's about perspective.
I'm with Moffat. I camped out all night. For that we got a minute of footage. I really enjoyed seeing that but I was actually there for the chance to see Matt Smith before he leaves the role. If you watch the interview on Youtube, I was the one who asked Moffat about the Cartmel Masterplan. Does that sound like a casual fan to you?
And yes, we WERE hardcore. You don't bloody sleep out in the cold if you aren't. In any case you will get to see more than we saw in less than a month.
He doesn't understand how some fans who could afford to be there saw something that all fans deserve to see? And he doesn't understand how fans are upset because he has made various threats to those who have seen it, to not tell anyone about it? That's logic for you. I agree that it isn't really something to be majorly upset about, but to divide fans like that, i.e. give only a small privileged group something so many fans would love, then threaten them about simply sharing it… is just beyond me. Another one of the reasons I can't stand Moffat.
How might I feel about a statement that seems to say "Deal with it, Whovian…? I think I'd shrug my shoulders and just, well…. deal with it. I agree with the commenters above. It's a trailer. I haven't seen it. I haven't spent one minute worrying about it. If I don't ever see it, I'm perfectly fine with that. I'll watch the episode.
I think there's an irrational sentiment here that suggests because an editorial analyses a statement, a context and a perspective, that the writer is constantly fixated with this issue, and so are all Doctor Who fans.
Christian never talks about this issue, it doesn't bug him. It doesn't bug me either. I have no interest in a trailer, I like surprises, that said, I can see a very clear argument as to why releasing the singular trailer to a select few who were in the right place at the right time, might seem somewhat odd – the fact the showrunner doesn't, is curious, and worth comment, which is what editorials do.
If you don't agree, that's cool. If you think Moffat's argument is fair, that's cool too, but I think the comments here are far too full of the suggestion that to comment on this issue shows a) you spend your time worrying about it, b) that you should get a life, c) don't see how great Mr Moff is. That's not true in any case whatsoever here. I've talked about this rationale of Moffat's more than Christian and I don't want to see a trailer – the choice of tact is interesting.
As for the "this is a whiny issue for staff, it isn't – I know a fair few Doctor Who fans and most have found the trailer being withheld for San Diego – or the lack of trailer – a little annoying, and that's not to suggest that the issue takes up every waking hour of their life either.
Sorry LD, your post sparked me off, but 90% of this is general, not aimed at your remark. "Deal with it, Whovian", is the only bit I contest, rest, is cool.
'Deal with it' was not my comment. It was a question asked in the article – "How might you feel if told to 'Deal with it?'" From the responses here, it seems that most of the people are dealing with it just fine and are not obsessed with the trailer. A few seem a bit fixated and possessive about it. I suspect they'd be much happier if they could 'just deal with it,' so in that sense, I guess I will accept the remark as mine, too!
A re-read and I humbly stand corrected on that point! My concern was to clarify that my diatribe was a response to the general mood than your comment, I can now say 100% not your comment, in fact.
First of all, Moffat is a troll and he will ever be. Get over it. Seriously..who cares about trailers. I love talking about the coming episodes with my kids..what will come, what will happen? Damn who needs spoilers Moffat and co love their fans and we love them exactly how they are. If Moffi shows too much care, he must be sick lol. By the way ..if he starts to worry about every fan not to make him upset..he can stop writing. Too much thinking.. will end in burn out
I think this whole anniversary year publicity opportunities have been botched. Everything that should have been golden went wrong, usually due to miscommunication. If something didn't go as well as hoped then you could almost guarantee that it was going to be made worse by the response from either the BBC, producers, or Moffat. Whether this was the length of the 7th season, the spliting of the season, the goodbye of River (which sucked by the way, as did the goodbye for the rest of the Ponds), the leaking of the identiy of the Hurt Doctor, Matt leaving, Capalidi coming in, the SDCC trailer, the absence/presence of past doctors in the 50th, the lost episodes…etc. So much has happened this year in the world of Doctor Who that has been both wonderful and heartbreaking (ie.David Tennant returning and Matt Smith leaving), but as a fan I feel a bit let down as to how it all has been handled by those in charge, particularly Moffat. Now, I am a fan of Moffat, at least usually, but lately he seems a bit cocky. More so than usual. Maybe its just me, but I am not sure that the 50th is the time to tell the fans to "go bugger off and deal with it." We do basically pay his bills right that should be something he keeps in mind. I don't maybe its just me.
Let's be honest, the BBC probably lost the SDCC trailer, like they have lost or screwed up everything else. I for one am more interested in seeing the special and hope it is worthy of 50 extraordinary years of DOCTOR WHO.
Actually, I am one of those fans who thought it was a bad idea to show an exclusive clip to a small group – I hate the idea of elitism and I don't like the idea of things being availalbe to exclusive groups who have the right kind of money. I like my BBC to be available to all, regardless of income and privilege with the proviso that those who pay the licence fee for that service should at the very least get what is available to others in the same way. I am writing to the Daily Mail, as I speak.
"Now this isn't our opinion…but I'm pretty sure fans won't be too pleased." Oh dear. It's as if someone's been mainlining the Daily Mail.
Seriously, are people actually angry about not seeing a trailer? Actually, pulse quickeningly, vein throbbingly angry? Now this isn't my opinion you understand, but some might say that, in a year when there's so much to enjoy and celebrate, that's a bit pathetic.
Quote: "Moffat considers SDCC "a little bit early," but how many times have trailers for Christmas episodes aired at the end of a run, or coming series at the end of Christmas episodes during the RTD and early Moffat era?"
honetsly? I dont remember a single time!
After The Eleventh Hour, a Season Trailer showed up but… i think thats it! What the hell are you talking about.
I think the author is referring to the teasers that appear as part of the credits at the end of some season finales and christmas specials. (For example, a few shots of Cybermen etc appeared at the end of "The End of Time" as a glimpse of "The Next Doctor").
But I don't think this compares at all with an actual released trailer, which have always been very close to the air date for the series/special.While most fans would love to see a trailer as early as possible, there are many reasons that the BBC can't/won't do that, and regardless of his personal opinion, Moffat has to take the company line.
He recently mentioned that the BBC haven't shown a full trailer yet because they have other big shows airing in the weeks ahead of the Anniversary which need to be aired first – the whole BBC infrastructure doesn't stop just for Who.
When it comes down to it, the SDCC trailer was created for a specific event, for people who were able to attend an international convention (of which I was not one), and was kept private for them quite rightly. The only thing I'm a little bit disappointed about is that they didn't do the same for London Comic-Con (which I also didn't attend, btw).
We've gotten teasers, we'll get trailers, and Moffat has done a fantastic job of keeping us guessing, which is exactly what we want. When I sit down in my local Vue cinema, pop on my 3D glasses and watch as the lights dim on Nov 23rd, I want to feel that shiver run down my spine in anticipation and excitement. And that's exactly what I'm going to get
I think just the modern era guys are fine. Time has changed the classic Doctors too much for the modern show. We have the landmark "Light At The End" to be happy with.
If people are getting wound up over a trailer they have far too much time on their hands!
I'm blooming glad Doctor Who is having a 50th anniversary; I'm delighted there's going to be a raft of other programmes marking the occasion. And I couldn't give two hoots if a bunch of sci fi fans with more time and money to waste going to a convention than I have got to see a snippet a bit earlier than I did.
The Day Of The Doctor will air on 23rd November. I'll watch it, most likely enjoy it, then probably order the DVD. The fact that I didn't see a trailer months beforehand will not change my life or affect my enjoyment.
I do agree, however: Mr Moffat knows he's simply going to wind people up with these words. Maybe that's why he said them?
As someone who wasn't anywhere near SDCC, I think it was good for Doctor Who to be able to offer an exclusive like that. It will have done wonders to build the relationship between the show and the event.
I think Moff's "a little bit early" comment will have referred to the fact that the plan was to build anticipation for the anniversary in the run-up to the day, and releasing the trailer to everyone that early would have no-where for them to go. The marketing of the series by the present production team is the main reason for the series current popularity in the States, which will help the long term future of the show we love. So we had to wait a bit longer for the trailer. Big deal. We all get to see the special at the same time, and we should be happy that we all get to share in this special moment.
Moff has wrecked the show.
Sooner he leaves the better.
I really can't believe the divide over this – people seriously need to get over it.
Comic-Con costs a lot of money and so those who paid for it got something that others didn't.
You may not think of that as fair, but this isn't a Moffat concept, it's the way the world works.
You're upset that you don't get a trailer that others do simply because of their location and how much money they have. Somewhere else, someone isn't getting the same healthcare and education as you simple because of their location and how much money they have.
I'm not undermining this or saying it's fair, but that's life.
I just don't like the fact that there are people right now being bitter about this when they could be enjoying themselves thinking awesome thoughts. In the end, no one is affected by the anger and negativity in your mind so just do yourselves a favour and don't worry about it
The first thing I do everyday when I get to the 'net is see if a trailer has been posted. I *am* pissed that SDCC got to see a trailer that hasn't been since leaked or released for the rest of us who couldn't afford to be there. Also, the lapses between new seasons/series leave us Whovians (& Sherlockians) hungrier than other fanbases.
That being said, too often trailers spoil the holy hell out the feature. I'm kind of glad that the majority of us have only seen the few stills from DOTD so far.
How does he not get it!? Its simple, Britain makes the show, America likes the show. Britain should have the priority when it comes to exclusive trailers, why… Because its made in Britain, and british fans have been around a lot longer than American fans. Simple.
Yes, I am miffed that a select few lucky fans got to be spoiled for the 50th before the rest of us, but now that its closer to the air date my anger has pretty much faded.
And I'm not all that upset about the older Docs not appearing in the 50th (as far as we know), since they're all, well… Let's just say their physical ages now would be rather distracting. Apart from McGann, who could still pull it off.
It seems to me that the whole anniversary YEAR has lost much of it's gloss and the focus is not on what should have been a celebration of the show as a whole has been pitched squarely at the Anniversary Episode.
Speaking as someone who would love to be able to afford to drop stuff and go to the BFI screenings, the DW event in London, and God dammit, I would LOVE to go to Comiccon, I have the anniversary episode and a couple of kids shows hanging DW on their front doors for an episode.
The people behind the show are going on about all this stuff that they;re doing, but it costs shitloads to get to them.
There should have been more episodes, (they've made less this year (the ANNIVERSARY) than Davies did in his GAP year, and played the "look at the shiny shiny" card all bloody year.
The BBC didn't even pick up BBCA's "Who Is The Doctor" series, with BBCWW instead shoving on to WATCH, which is only available with a subscription package.
Where are the classic repeats?
There just hasn't been enough celebrating the show as a whole, and everything has been aimed at the (ONE) Episode they made.
If he doesn't get why those of us who WOULD have happily slept out all night, but couldn't afford the air fare don't like it, well, I suppose it says all it needs to.
It seems to me to be less of an "us and them" situation between US and UK fans as some have suggested, but more a division between those who can afford to attend the events and those who cant… the latter don't seem to matter.
As long as he has his contingent of squeeing fez/bow tie wearing loons waving fishfingers and sonic screwdrivers, paying and turning up to all the events he gets paid to attend (VIP status of course…) and telling him his farts smell of roses, he's never GOING to get it.
I not particularly bothered that I haven't seen a trailer yet. I'm just very pissed that it's looking more and more like I won't be seeing McGann on screen again. I'm pissed that Moffat chose to bring in John Hurt instead of McGann and that Chris Eccleston was asked back but not McGann.
Moffat gets the 'obsessive' Doctor Who fans very well….they're nut cases. Entitled and forever whining loons who take what is just a TV show after all, far too seriously. For examples, see many of the comments here.
I was given the 'negative thumb' when I mentioned Mr Moffatt was US focussed. This is another part of it. SDCC, in the US, got the preview. Why couldn't another chosen show in the UK be given it as an exclusive?
This year was supposed to be a celebration year, but its a bit lacklustre. While he's trying to market the show in the UK, we seem to get less and less, for all the above reasons.
Of course they are entitled – its what makes us fans. If everyone felt just mild interest the programme wouldn't have been resurrected, it's the passionate fans that kept it alive during the cancellation.
Having said that, I am slightly irritated about SDCC, just because it is elitism, but I'm far more upset about the lack of episodes this year.
Sorry, that was meant to be a reply to Michael Boon, but for some reason the reply button does not work for me.
UGH. Of course should not have seen the trailer when it was shown at the Con so many months ago. Correct decision. The whinging of entitled fans, who don't understand at all, it seems, how TV works, is just silly. We haven't seen a trailer yet? Guess what; doesn't matter. We'll get a trailer. We'll get the episode. Then we can whinge about those instead.
I don't care that the SDCC got to see the trailer. I think the one WE got the other week was phenomenal. And seriously, how rare is it to be this close to the screening of a TV or cinema spectacle without having seen a single (moving) image of it? It's a special thing to have this much mystery around a show or a movie these days. They will put a trailer on soon but the closer we get to 'The Day of the Doctor' the less I even want to watch the usual trailer full of bits from the show. I think everyone should try something new and go into this thing on the 23rd having never laid eyes or ears on it before!
Hi, I agree it seems so.
I do think and feel that a sneaky promotion was going on. It all seemed to be about how pretty Mat was how pretty The impossible girl was AND HOW lovely the long Ginger hair was. How refined and stylish it all was. It is true that the visual style was very good, better that Russle very chic. But the heart was missing I thought serious lack in acting skills, script writing and weak characters with little personality or presence ( easier to control) . It was almost as if underneath it all was sort of all about selling British style M and S selling frocks from the show, British style and tailoring i.e Matt's outfit. It all seemed a bit Naff and Dull.
I did read BBC may have lost interest in the show as they did in the 90s. Well with Moffat as main Gov I am not surprised. Moffat is ok for a show or two but no more he does not have the talent , skills or long term ability to deliver. OUT OUT OUT. We deserve better. Get a top class comedy writer into SCI fI that would lift the show to where it belongs.
Did Matt high jack the show for his Handsome looks and Fashion style, Like Blair High jacked Labor and Beckham took over football but maybe he wanted to be a Model in fact he is a all rounder anyway; but not every one is. At the time Matt came in there was still this lets respect someone who can high jack systems and we are meant to admire this?
Lets get back to a Brilliant show and F … the rest. Oops scuze, Scuza. Er Ciao

FAIRBANKS, AK-As the Yukon 1000 riverboat race gets ready to go tomorrow we caught up with one of the crew members who plays a vital role. The navigator. Sherri Kriska is a navigator for the B-Bi Bones Express boat. The captain is her husband Tom Kriska.
Sherri has been a part of riverboat racing for over 20 years in the Interior. She explained that the navigator knows where the shortcuts are and anticipates turns, which is important because the crew has to lean in the turns to keep the boat upright as boats can reach 70 miles per hour. For the navigator this year's extended race will be a different experience for everybody.
"You want your equipment to hold together. Mainly the motor because when you're going full throttle for 800 miles half the field is usually out by the time the race is over. So adding another 200 miles onto that it's going to really takes it toll on the field of racers this year," Sherri said.
"It's strategy. It's a whole lot different for the whole field of racers so it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out."

Welcome to the Friends of Stocker's Lake Website
This website is owned and maintained by Friends of Stocker's Lake (FoSL), a registered charity. FoSL exists to :
- - conserve, safeguard and enhance Stocker's Lake as a Local Nature Reserve
- - help and extend the scope of the work of the warden at Stocker's Lake
- - foster public support for and appreciation of Stocker's Lake as a local nature reserve.
Stocker's Lake, near Rickmansworth just inside the M25, is bordered on one side by the river Colne and on the other by the Grand Union canal. It is a place of great beauty and it supports a huge variety of wildlife, especially birds, particularly winter wildfowl. It is owned by Affinity Water and managed by Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, actively supported by local people who are the Friends of Stocker's Lake.
Within this website you will find details of organised walks and other events on the reserve, news of interesting recent sightings of birds, details of how to join FoSL for a mere £5 per year, and much more.
10am to 12:30pm: Meet by Stocker's House.

New Walks Confirmed
We are now able to confirm two guided walks around the reserve this summer. Our 2014 events calendar gave a different date for our usual annual wildflower walk and the butterfly/dragonfly walk wasn't listed there at all. This is because at the start of the year neither walk had a leader assigned. However leaders for both have now been found for June 22nd and August 17th respectively. So both are now firmly scheduled. For full details see our events listing.

Breeding Goldeneye
A family party of Goldeneye has been spotted several times over the last few days at SPRINGWELL LAKE (adjacent to Stocker's Lake). Goldeneye primarily breed on Scottish lochs and there have only ever been a handful of UK records of Goldeneye breeding away from Northern England and Scotland.
Butterfly Survey 2013
In the late 1990s, butterflies were surveyed annually at Stocker's Lake but a lack of volunteers resulted in the survey falling by the wayside for many years. However, in 2012, we revived the butterfly survey and now have an enthusiastic and increasingly knowledgeable team who walk the reserve recording butterfly life from April to September.

Three Game Plans for a DIY Valentine's Day
Published on - February 10th, 2012 (Modified on - February 14th, 2012) (by April Dykman)
This post is from staff writer April Dykman.
I love Valentine's Day. I know many people don't — they think it's a commercial holiday that makes people feel obligated to drag themselves to the pink and red grocery aisle and sort through an explosion of cellophane-wrapped chocolates, candy hearts, hideous stuffed animals, and $4 cards. Love is expensive! And all this trouble just to say, "I love you." And, they argue, why only show your love on one day? Shouldn't that be year-round?
Of course it should. But how many people actually do it? People have careers and kids and crazy schedules and obligations, so my thought is, why pass on celebrating a day that's all about showing love? (I wrote about this last year, too.)
But, as I've mentioned before, my husband and I don't exchange gifts. We don't brave the crowds and eat at a fancy restaurant. We had a miserable time several years ago when we made reservations and wound up cold, tired, and starving before we finally got to our table. We don't do any of the things that DeBeers tell us we should do, even if Cat Power is singing in their commercials. We plan a nice night at home, and while it does save money, that's not why our tradition began. We just prefer it this way — saving money is a bonus.
If you like the idea of a date night at home, here are a few game plans that require little time and money to pull off.
Plan #1: A night for amore
It's no secret that I'm an Italiophile. Give me a glass of chianti and a plate of basil pasta and I'm in heaven. So naturally I'm going to suggest replicating an Italian trattoria in your dining room. (A trattoria is a casual, often family-owned restaurant — it's like a neighborhood café.) Starting with the vino (of course!), pick up a bottle of reasonably priced wine — a pinot grigio or chianti would work well.
For food, if you're a novice in the kitchen, I highly recommend Mark Bittman's recipes. Known as "The Minimalist," Bittman, a columnist for The New York Times, is not a chef. He's a self-taught cook who knows that most people don't want to make a 2-day mole sauce that requires 30 ingredients. (I've done that once, by the way, and although I love being in the kitchen, I haven't done it again.) In other words, Bittman keeps it simple. Start with his fennel and celery salad, then serve spaghetti with butter and Parmesan, and check out his optional additions to make the dish your own. For dessert, make one of my quick and easy favorites: top two scoops of vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso or coffee, and put biscotti on the side (you can find these in the cookie section of most grocery stores).
But you're not done yet. If you really want to bring the trattoria idea home, you have to set the stage. This requires a red-checkered tablecloth (try the dollar stores) and candles (a few tea light candles in mason jars will do the job). Finally, choose some music appropriate for a night of la dolce vita — you could make your own mix or check out the Caffe Bella Italia compilation.
Plan #2: Let's go to the movies…at home
You know what I love most about watching movies at home? I don't have to sneak my favorite foods into the theater in my purse. Like ice cream — that's a messy one. And couches are so much better for snuggling under blankets — movie theaters are always freezing cold! I digress. Okay, so to put this plan together, you have to start with the right movie. I'm not a fan of most romantic comedies, but every now and then I am pleasantly surprised. If you need ideas, check out these titles:
- Priceless (Hors de prix) — like a modern, French Breakfast at Tiffany's
- Midnight in Paris — Woody Allen at his most charming
- Chocolat (I swear I didn't intend for all of these to be set in France.)
Okay, so you have one of these movies, or you've got something even better. Make some popcorn (real butter, please!) and have your favorite fizzy beverage and candy on hand. I'm partial to Italian sodas and dark chocolate-covered almonds, but Root Beer floats and M&Ms are classics. Start the movie and quietly congratulate yourself for saving $50 on tickets, drinks, popcorn, and candy.
Plan #3: Cheese tasting and game night
The third game plan I present is for a casual date night with fruit, cheese, and games. (A word of advice? Do not Google "games for couples," especially when you're at work. Just be glad I waded through some really weird search results for you, okay?)
First, as usual, I want to start with the food. We're going to make a cheese plate. Even if you don't know gouda from feta, it's easy to put together a combination of cheeses, and hey, no cooking required! In less than five minutes, food blogger Matt Armendariz shows you how to select cheeses, fruit, and condiments like a pro. Add a bottle of wine, and you've got a spread.
Next, the games. The following are a few suggestions for couples:
- LifeStories Game — This storytelling game brings players together with stories. How did your parents meet? What do you think life will be like 100 years from now?
- Chocolate-opoly — This game is about chocolate. That's all you really need to know, right?
- Poker — Everyone has a deck of cards, right? What kind of poker you want to play is your business.
There you have it, my three DIY game plans for February 14. And if you're single, celebrate with your friends! One Valentine's Day my dear mother was the only one who sent me flowers, but being single didn't stop me from having my girlfriends over for margaritas. I celebrated the love of mothers who send their daughters roses. The love of good friends. The sweet and sour love of a margarita on the rocks.
What are your plans this February 14?
This article is about Relationships
I don't do valentines myself, but these are all great suggestions. I had to comment though because I laughed about the 2-day mole with 30 ingredients (which I have also made!) because Bittman actually published a recipe for homemade Worcestercire a few weeks ago that make mole look like marinara. I was tempted to try it except I never heard of any of the ingredients.
You read my mind! "Italian night in" is my husband's and my Valentine's Day tradition. He makes a caprese salad and picks up some handmade ravioli from a local Italian grocery to cook with browned butter and herbs, which is even easier than a Bittman recipe, and I make dessert (chocolate pudding cake again, probably) and choose wine. Slightly nicer ingredients than we usually use so it feels fancy, but no crowds and much cheaper and calmer than an Italian restaurant. Also, when you only have a specific meal once a year it's exciting.
V-day falls on a Tuesday night, Mr. Sam is taking a class on Tuesday and Thursday so he will be at class.
But even if he wasn't in class, we would be unlikely to do anything as we don't normally celebrate what we see as a fake holiday. We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary of meeting in April, with a vacation so any monies we would spend on V day will be going to Mr. Sam's certification class and/or our trip.
I am going to prepare morning breakfast and tea. When I return home from work (will be an early return) we will go to the beach and eat out. Except that eat out. Bought a purse and a chocolate box for her. Her's is a surprise.
We do usually go to dinner sometimes around V-Day, but rarely on the day of. It works out as a great compromise for us because it falls between our two birthdays so we choose not to go out to eat three times in a month and just go out once. We usually exchange small gifts, if any, and mostly focus on the reminder to spend time together and celebrate our relationship. Sometimes days like Valentine's are just another opportunity to be reminded to say and do the things we should already do every day.
Lidia Bastianich's books/shows are also amazing if you want delicious Italian food but you aren't that skilled in the kitchen. The PBS shows have a lot of good tips.
I want to cry every time something great on PBS is mentioned because we DON'T get it without cable, even with an antenna…..
PBS deprived in Maize, Kansas
All of these are great ideas…just that I always feel like any special time w/DH means we will be excluding the 3 kids! They want to go out to a restaurant, too, they tell us! **Guilt**
And DH and I don't exchange gifts for any holidays (I am too hard to please so we called quits on that), just cards. So game night on Tues. w/the kids is the most likely scenario!
Cute post!
I really hope you reconsider. One on one time with your hubby is very important to your marriage ESPECIALLY with three kids. It certainly doesn't have to be because of V-Day but seriously, take some time just the two of you, guilt-free. You need it and you both deserve it!
hmm. I'm terribly indifferent when it comes to V-day. Really don't think about it. I thought that was what happened when you'd been married/ with the same person for years and years but judging by the other comments/ article I am wrong. I thought for a second that maybe I should do something terribly romantic for once but then I thought he might die of shock which would make the whole day much less romantic than it usually is- even for me. We may have to ease ourselves into it; a box of chocolates this year, flowers the next…
valentines is my birthday so i am way biased! that said, i love it when everyplace gets all festive and covered with hearts, as if the rite aids across the world were preparing for my bday party ;;;;;;)
i do feel terrible for my husband though and give him a pass on doing traditional valentines things. we live in a big big city- we tried to go out to a romantic french restaurant once, and we were squeezed in with 500 other hipsters like a cafeteria- forget about trying to hail a waitress, we went next door to an empty indian place for dins before we managed drinks at the french place. the next year we did BBQ at a sports bar (EMPTY! HOLLA). but yeh- he gets an official pass on taking me out to a "nice, romantic" place on that particular evening. i like to think i'm not THAT unreasonable.
We do dates in fairly regularly: a bottle of champagne or Moscato, a dessert made by the Mr., and a movie or documentary.
We never go out on Valentine's itself, but we are going out to our favorite restaurant on the 16th. We budget for babysitting one evening a month, and that's the evening .
We have Sundaynight, every Sundaynight as 'us'-time. Hence, no need for the valentines day.
I can understand this doesn't work for everyone though. But how about picking a different day? Put it in your calender, don't share it with your partner but invite him/her to one of the above 3 night in ideas. You get the same experience, but it means so much if the recipients doesn't feel like it's an obligation to you. (hence the not sharing).
How about the 7th of April? Go for it
I just left a comment the other day asking how to be romantic AND frugal— sometimes it just seems impossible to reconcile! Especially with my husband. I have the same "problem" as Laura above. My solution? On Valentine's day, I just let him go to town. Whatever he wants to plan/buy/prepare for us, I trust he will keep it within some semblance of reason. And the rest of the year, our dates are more like those above. A movie night in ($10/month), a splurge at our favorite gourmet shop for dinner ingredients ($20 on avg), or the various free offerings around town. I'm glad I'm not the only budgeting girl who does this!
Cellphone-wrapped chocolates??
Yes! I, too, would like to know at what fine establishment these intriguing treats may be found on offer! Better yet if they come in boxes of a dozen! *grins*
I plan on making a chocolate fondue – otherwise the fondue pot is just going to be collecting dust. This way we can eat at home and our 5 year old can join in celebrating the "holiday." Neither of us are big into the romantic-y stuff (other than I like chocolate a LOT).
Cellphone-wrapped chocolates? If it's an iPhone, I'd be pretty happy with it! ; )
Broke, single people generally don't have Valentines Day plans. More than likely I will try to see a matinee or a $4 movie at my local "speakeasy". I may even spring for their $4 glass of wine!
I usually spend Valentine's day the same way I do every other day. Eat, sleep, work (when there is work to do). Nothing different from any other day.
Turns out I have a date tomorrow night after all! At one of my favorite restaurants to boot!
Great ideas everyone!
This year, we plan to do a big meal at home (steak, homemade pasta, scallops, baked alaska…) for less than we'd spend out. Presents will be a car wash for us both (a REAL one!) and I got him a little extra something as well. Under $60 for both of us isn't bad!
One of my favorite celebrations was with my best female friend. We went to Godvia and hand selected our favorite truffles (like 6 each), popped popcorn, and had a movie night with romantic things guys hate! It was great fun and easy to do when you are single with little income (we spent under $30 – add a bottle of wine for another $10 if you're over 21).
We're just going to have dinner at home. But dinner will be a couple of high-quality steaks and the wine will be a very fine bottle that was a gift from one of DH's clients. We also have some special-occasion treats on the way from Roger's Chocolates of Canada.
p.s. a couple of non-traditional "romantic" movie choices for married couples. "Shall We Dance" with Richard Gere & Susan Sarandon; "Mr & Mrs Smith" with Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie; and "Manhattan Murder Mystery" with Woody Allen & Diane Keaton.
Haha – it occurs to me that "Shall we dance" is about a man who comes close to cheating on his wife, and "Mr and Mrs Smith" is famous for being the set where Brad left Jennifer for Angelina.
Daring choice of movies for a married couple! Definitely "non-traditional". :-p
My wife and I have been doing Valentine's at home for a few years now. Not only is it nice to save some money, we've found that most quality restaurants are over-crowded and often the food and service takes a hit. This year my wife is telling me to skip roses – borderline insisting on it because she feels they are a waste of money. I concur!
Plus, the food is overpriced and usually inferior to their usual meals.
Buy the roses the day after Valentine's. She still gets flowers and you save a ton of money. Or if not roses, then go for carnations or another type. Or just one rose. It's true that cut flowers aren't exactly practical, but they really do bring a smile to the loved one's lips.
I would love to tell everyone what I am doing for Valentine's day, but that would give it away, since my wife has access to the internet.
I save all of my rewards points from my credit card and use them up on Valentines Day and also on my girlfriends birthday. Its nice because her birthday is in August so i have time to rack up some more rewards by then. But I always end up spending a little more than my rewards can cover because I always find something that she will like that costs a little bit more. Though, by using the rewards I can get my girlfriend what she wants with out breaking the bank. I think its a nice feature that everyone should try and take advantage of.
My fiance and I have never been one to celebrate Valentine's day. For the last 3 years he's been curling in bonspiels and I saw him for a few minutes between games, if I was lucky.
He does give me flowers though, so that's nice. We aren't a fussy romantic couple, so it's not a big thing. We say 'I love you' about 10 times everyday and once in a while we go out for steak. I think if he tried to do a 'romantic night out' I'd be nervous since clearly an alien had taken over his body!
We've never been major Valentine's Day people but we've often made a point of going out for dinner sometime around Valentine's Day.
We both hate lines and crowds so we don't do it on the 14th. I've never felt left out.
Not sure. Someone else is in charge of that night…
my friends are having me over for dinner and heart shaped things!
I always bring in dinner and flowers. A nice candlelight dinner withe fireplace (based on weather) going is very romantic. I love the idea of celebrating at home quietly and just the two of us.
When I was single, it was much easier to celebrate V-Day– I'd grab all my single pals and we'd get dressed to the nines and go celebrate our independence!
Now that I'm in a committed, long-term relationship… I try to do the same thing! We're plenty sweet with each other the rest of the year(and we get tons of one-on-one time) so Valentine's Day– along with our Anniversary in December– is a time to party with friends.
This year I'm going with Boyfriend and a few friends to an inexpensive figure-drawing class (oh-la-la!, respectfully) and then we're going to partake in the first-ever batch of beer that Boyfriend has been brewing for the past month.
No plans, but (romantic) movie ideas:
* Crossing Delancey
* Mr. & Mrs. Smith
* Chocolat
* A Room With a View
* Moonstruck
* Truly, Madly, Deeply
* Notting Hill
* My Brilliant Career
* Like Water for Chocolate
* Out of Africa
* March of the Penguins
I love them all, so something in that list should work a romantic night in
That's a handy list for a male to have – may get be brownie points thanks
Valentine's day is a huge money-maker in our family, my partner is a server in an Italian restaurant. It's awesome.
I wish!
In our home we celebrate with strawberries….and maybe some chocolates.
Some good ideas. My wife and I have decided this year that instead of buying each other presents, (we hate buying things for the sake of it) we will each think up an 'experience day' on a budget. So for example, you choose a location for a lunch (cafe/picnic/make a meal) and include an activity for the day/night. We have set a budget which we can afford and have agreed to do this on different weekends. That way, we avoid inflated prices on the day itself and the experiences last over a couple of weeks.
The best gift is intimate and thoughtful. You can't go wrong doing something romantic at home.
A cheap Valentine's Day may be a lot more expensive than spending $50 to keep your long-term, long-suffering partner happy.
Rather than gifts, we're going to drop the kiddo off at grandma's and have an early dinner at a seafood restaurant. The restaurant is a little pricey, but I prefer "experience" gifts!
We like to keep it simple too. I picked up ready made dinners at a local Italian market, I got a nice bottle of wine for the holidays that we'll open, and hopefully I can convince my husband to watch my favorite movie with me "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" – if not, we'll watch something else – it's all good.
Hope everyone has the day they are hoping for, however they choose to celebrate!
I treat February 14th like every other day when it comes to my relationship. It's a calendar date that means nothing to us compared to our own important days.
You want to make someone feel special? Send them flowers or a gift "just because" on any other day of the year.

Love Is Love
If I Die Young
Fall For You
Nothing Like Us
You can do anything you set your mind to..(:
Yes, i'm the girl with the fake smile, the hurting heart. I only laugh because i'm falling apart. I'm not the girl who most people think I'm ought to be. I make mistakes, I lie, I fall in love, isn't that what all girls do? I hardly wear any make-up because I want to feel natural, not fake. I wear what I want to wear. The clothes you wear judges you by the person you are inside of you. I believe in God, he's the person who I turn to ever night. I think my purpose on this planet is to make people feel better about themselves, to feel loved, and to smile. But I don't know if that truely is my purposes on Earth, but i'm still figuring it out. I love giving advice to people, it's one of things I'm good at. I also like to write to vent my feelings. Music is another thing that describes my feelings. The lyrics basically tell my whole life story. Photography is another thing i'm good at. I also like to shop, what girl doesn't? I go shopping quite a few times in a month. Soccer is one of the things that keeps in place. It clears my head, and makes me think better. Basically, I'm simple, & I'm complicated.

Having a sex offender move into your neighborhood would make any parent nervous.
Now there's a new app for that which can help you keep your kids safe.
KSFY News spoke with one parent who downloaded the app to find out what she think about it.
The app, Alert ID, recently added South Dakota to it's database of sex offenders.
We spoke with a parent who downloaded the app and sees it as a reminder, not only of who might be living around you and your kids but also to have a talk with your kids.
No parent is glad to hear a sex offender has moved into the neighborhood.
Francesca Pokett, a mother of two, said "it makes me pretty nervous because I mean , if it happened once, it could happen again. But hopefully they learned their lesson and learned not to do it again."
But some would consider that knowledge as power and not fear.
"It helps to know where they're at so then you know if you go on a family walk, you can avoid that area, stay away from one area more than others," Pokett said.
The smartphone app Alert ID recently added South Dakota sex offenders to its database. Once you take a look at your neighborhood, you might be surprised by what you see.
Randy Stewart, executive director at Apple Tree Children's Centers said "I assumed there were but the numbers and some of the concentrations around town are quite shocking. I would not have guessed it was that extreme."
After seeing just how many sex offenders are living near by, Francesca believes parents can use this as chance to take action and have a talk with their kids.
"I would let my kids know, people do bad things sometimes and they get in trouble for it. 'Don't talk to strangers, don't take candy from them. If they make you feel uneasy, walk away and go to someone you know,'" Pokett said.
Many parents may check out their neighborhood online for crimes, but having an app for that can keep you updated at all times.

I don't think you fully understand either. I've never heard of a "millibit" before because it does not exist. Maybe theoretically, but it just doesn't exist because a single bit is the smallest logical representation of digital data. When dealing with computers and data, you can only have bits and bytes, and further expansions on those. Maybe the metric system allows you to use milli, but data doesn't work that way. As far as I'm concerned, uppercase M and lowercase m don't differentiate anything, the point is to use uppercase B and lowercase b to refer to bits and bytes.
I defy you to prove otherwise.

|12 Months of Marketing for Salon and Spa: Ideas, Events and Promotions for Salon and Spa
|Elizabeth Kraus
|With the economic downturn of the past several years and continued slow consumer spending projected to last for the foreseeable future, beauty industry professionals have seen clients extend the time between routine salon services by an additional two weeks (or more) and an increasing number of clients are doing their own hair color and purchasing more hair and skin care products from retail stores. In the spa segment the disparity between the old normal and the new normal is even greater. * How can new stylists and estheticians carve out clientele as they launch their career? * What can industry professionals at any stage of their career do to create a new normal that transcends economic factors? * What should they be doing to take control of their business, growth of their client base, retail sales and income? With so few books available specifically written for this industry, 12 Months of Marketing for Salon and Spa is especially relevant to the owner, manager or individual professionals within the industry whether they want to revitalize their business or are just launching their career. The health and future of salon and spa professionals depends upon reinstating their role as experts, creating a bigger role for themselves in the lives of their clients, and a more present, influential role for their business within their communities. You can evolve the salon or spa into a social, tribal site for clients that blurs the lines between their service appointments and their social, professional and family lives.

Her dream comes true, though not before she suffers a devastating loss—one that will haunt her for years, and one that also deeply affects Janice, an American aid worker who no longer feels she has a place to call home. But the bustling Precious Brother Salon is not just the "cleanest, friendliest, and most welcoming in the city." It's also where locals catch up on their gossip; where Comfort, an imperious busybody, can complain about her American daughter-in-law, Linda; and where Adjoa can get a fresh start on life—or so she thinks, until Janice moves to Ghana and unexpectedly stumbles upon the salon. At once deeply moving and utterly charming, The Civilized World follows five women as they face meddling mothers-in-law, unfaithful partners, and the lingering aftereffects of racism, only to learn that their cultural differences are outweighed by their common bond as women. With vibrant prose, Susi Wyss explores what it means to need forgiveness—and what it means to forgive.

I interviewed Richard Metzger and R.U. Sirius last week at Contact. We talked about the Occupy movement, what it's like to start a new publication today and whether tools for free speech have room for improvement.
I apologize in advance for the audio quality - I didn't have a windscreen for my microphone, so things get pretty noisy when the wind picks up.
R.U. Sirius was the co-founder and editor of the influential cyberculture magazine Mondo 2000. He also ran for president on the Revolution Party ticket in 2000 and has worked for publications such as Wired and H+ Magazine. He recently started a new online publication called Acceler8or. He's also working on an open source history of Mondo 2000. My previous interview with him is here.
Richard Metzger was the co-founder and creative director of Disinformation, where he served as the host of the online show Infinity Factory and the Channel 4 show Disinfo Nation. He's now the editor and host of Dangerous Minds. My previous interview with him is here.

John Robb on #OccupyWallStreet as an open source protest:
*A promise. A simple goal/idea that nearly everyone can get behind. Adbusters did pretty good with "occupy wall street." Why? Nearly everyone hates the pervasive corruption of banks and Wall Street. It's an easy target.
*A plausible promise. Prove that the promise can work. They did. They actually occupied Wall Street and set up camp. They then got the message out.
*A big tent and an open invitation. It doesn't matter what your reason for protesting is as long as you hate/dislike Wall Street. The big tent is already in place (notice the diversity of the signage). Saw something similar from the Tea Party before it was mainstreamed/diminished.
Anyone who says he has no idea what these folks are protesting is not being truthful. Whether we agree with them or not, we all know what they are upset about, and we all know that there are investment bankers working on Wall Street getting richer while things for most of the rest of us are getting tougher. What upsets banking's defenders and politicians alike is the refusal of this movement to state its terms or set its goals in the traditional language of campaigns.
That's because, unlike a political campaign designed to get some person in office and then close up shop (as in the election of Obama), this is not a movement with a traditional narrative arc. As the product of the decentralized networked-era culture, it is less about victory than sustainability. It is not about one-pointedness, but inclusion and groping toward consensus. It is not like a book; it is like the Internet.
There's a lot being written right now about what the #Occupy movement must do. What it should be, where it all needs to go. Yet somehow, everything that looked like a mistake at first has unfurled into an advantage. All any single #Occupy cell needs to do is hold their ground for another night, and plan to make tomorrow bigger and better. It's easy to write a sneering caricature of a Tea Party rally, but it's interesting to note how many reporters wrote mocking hit pieces on the Wall Street crowd that all wound up being completely different. It's hard to get a bead on where the consensus is — but the occupation itself is the whole message. Nobody on Wall Street is confused about what it means, at least.

How To Find Opportunities Using VIX
By Chris Johnson - July 10, 2013 | Tickers: VXX, TVIZ, TVIX, VIIX
I did some research on the Volatility Index (VIX) a couple of years ago that I subsequently filed away for a later date. The research I compiled presents a very simple and quick way to determine when options players are acting "rationally" or "irrationally" about the market; that is, if the VIX implied market volatility actually matches real market volatility (rational), or if the VIX is over- or under-stating it more »
Is The Correction Over?
By Federico Zaldua - June 13, 2013 | Tickers: VXX, SH, SDS
Nobody knows if the 11-session, 5.27% S&P 500 decline from the high of 1687.18 on May 22 is over or not. The easiest way to figure it out is to look at the cold data relating to all past corrections in the market greater than 5% to determine the odds that the current sell-off is at an end.

Financial markets can be very unstable nowadays; we go from almost panic mode selling to rampant optimism, and vice versa, in a few days. Maybe it´s because the economic scenario is unusually uncertain due to deep rooted economic problems in most of the developed countries.
High unemployment, below average growth rates and elevated sovereign debt levels are long term problems that won´t be solved overnight. In such a more »

This dish is amazingly delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except for I only cooked the salmon 15 minutes. Fermented black beans were a little challenging to find, but I found them at my local asian market under the name "preserved black beans." Turns out it's the same thing as "fermented." By the way, they are not actually black beans like in mexican cooking, but soy beans cured/fermented/preserved in salt and sometimes other ingrediants like ginger. Steaming the salmon kept it moist and buttery. The black bean sauce is savory and spicy and delicious. Definitely serve with rice to soak up the extra sauce!
Steamed Salmon With Black Bean Sauce
Salmon isn't traditional in Chinese cooking, but since it's common in the United States and works so beautifully with the black bean sauce, we chose it for this recipe. Steaming accentuates the fresh flavor or the ingredients. The sumptuous sauce is redolent of garlic and ginger; it will highlight the flavor of any seafood, meat, or vegetable dish.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 5 ounces fish, about 1/3 cup sauce, and 1 teaspoon onion tops)

When I was in high school, reading Sepia Mutiny was a matter of daily routine. In a nearly all-white school, reading and discussing the blog with my South Asian friends reminded me that I was a part of something bigger—a shared sense of identification that became my way of navigating both the everyday racial politics of suburban Texas and the generic, mundane angst that comes with being a teenager. In my worst conditions of high school senioritis, I found Sepia Mutiny to be a much better use of my time than whatever my assignment was in my required computer class. Once, when scrolling through the site, some other kid in the class leaned over my shoulder to ask what I was reading. I don't remember exactly how I described it to him. Knowing my teenage self, I probably reveled in using the word "diaspora," a term I had the feeling that I would be throwing around a lot in a few months when I went off to college. "See I don't get that," he responded, "because I could never talk about a blog that only focuses on white people." It was the type of simplistic, dismissive attitude towards race that I now find incredibly banal; anybody with any entry-level understanding of race (or cliche stand-up comedy for that matter) knows when to respond that every month is White History Month. However, at that moment, I understood that I didn't just casually enjoy reading Sepia Mutiny, I needed it. At a time when I began to deeply identify with Desi politics, arts, and culture, Sepia Mutiny became a necessity when so many of my peers saw that type of identification as incomprehensible, or even privileged and antagonistic.
Sepia Mutiny gave me access to a type of engagement with Desi-ness that I could never access through the other resources available to me. As Amardeep Singh pointed out on his farewell post on the blog, Sepia Mutiny was never homogenous in its perspective. The site became a space to express and debate the types of large-scale concerns about South Asian American politics that were rarely deemed interesting enough for conversations at uncle-aunty parties or, as I would later discover, many cultural organizations I joined as an undergraduate. For my Desi friends who felt the same way, so many of our conversations in college began with "did you read the new Sepia post?" But I was also aware that Sepia Mutiny wasn't just a means for me to come of age as an American Desi. After the way that the site mobilized opposition to Jim Webb in the wake of Macacagate, I became aware that these conversations could translate to action. After growing up regularly witnessing the type of infantile racism that Webb committed, to see the mobilization of Sepia's backlash was nothing short of extraordinary.
As I grew older, however, I found myself reading Sepia Mutiny less often. The comments sections grew increasingly repetitive and offensive. Living in DC as an undergraduate allowed me to find real-life resources to explore Desi politics and arts, and the site became less central to my understanding of my place in the diaspora. In the last couple years, Sepia Mutiny was no longer a part of my routine. Though I still regularly enjoyed posts by my favorite authors, I often found myself skimming. In the last few months, I visited Sepia Mutiny pretty sparingly. It had become like a friend that I lost touch with, but still called out of obligation and a weak hope that we might rekindle the relationship we once had. I didn't even find out about Sepia Mutiny's upcoming retirement through the site itself. I found out through a text message from a friend, the same way I've lately been finding out about high school acquaintances' engagements or pregnancies.
Despite the fact that I've drifted apart from Sepia Mutiny, there was something saddening about learning of its end. Though it might not have felt like it lately, Sepia Mutiny was a space to discuss big issues that might never be spoken aloud. Older posts on heavy topics like hate crime and sexual violence serve as a reminder of the role that the site served and the potential it still has. While I like to think that platforms like Tumblr might fill this gap, I worry that the types of discussions that might dominate these communities are often informed by authenticity politics and simplistic, possessive notions of culture. So many young Desis now see cultural appropriation as their main struggle, which, though well intentioned, I find ultimately counter-intuitive. Rather than viewing Desi identity in complex terms, I believe that such arguments reduce "culture" to consumable possessions that purportedly authentically belong to "us". While these issues can be problematic, when I read blog posts by Desi youths directing rage at white women in bindis or South Asian-inspired runway looks, I'm disappointed by the way such conversations undermine larger discussions about how contested and unstable diasporic culture is. In its heyday, that's what Sepia Mutiny was able to provide. Any claims to authenticity on the site were usually outweighed by a competing, contradictory perspective, so that Desi identity was never taken as stable or fixed. Though I didn't realize it when I was in high school and first encountering the site, that's the lesson I best learned through Sepia Mutiny. While I originally turned to the site to help me discover what it means to be Desi, Sepia Mutiny taught me the incredible, empowering impossibility of such an endeavor, and more importantly, why that was a reality worth defending.

AT A BRIGHTON & HOVE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, Labour & Co-operative Councillor Anne Pissaridou demanded a new primary school for Hove to ease the demand for school places in the area.
The Wish ward councillor accused the previous Tory administration of using sticky plaster solutions which have seen schools expanded to breaking point, while the Greens were charged with having no policy to meet the increasing demand for primary places, which in a few years time will outstrip supply.
Rather than simply erecting portakabins to be used as new classrooms, as the Greens are doing, Cllr Pissaridou proposed a new not-for-profit Co-operative Academy Trust primary school for Hove.
Labour & Co-operative Wish Ward Councillor, Anne Pissaridou, said:
"We have a school places crisis in Hove with demand increasingly outstripping supply. The Tories knew this throughout their time in power but all they did was employ short term sticky plaster solutions- expanding schools to breaking point, rather than planning for the new school Hove so desperately needs.
"The Greens seem devoid of any realistic policy- aside from erecting new portakabins at existing schools in an attempt to meet the rising demand for places.
"With our proposals for a new not-for-profit Co-operative Academy primary school, we are putting the future of our city's children and families first."

"Galaxy" Nike Zoom Soldier VII
November 20th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 3 comments
The "Galaxy" Nike Zoom Soldier VII is a strange sneaker any way you slice it. First of all, they've arrived quite a while after Nike's initial "Galaxy" set of sneakers from the 2012 NBA All-Star weekend. Second of all the most galactic thing about them, that starry midsole, looks to be borrowed from the Nike Zoom KD IV "Galaxy". It appears that the shoes were a China exclusive, which is fitting given orientation of the Nike Zoom Soldier line as whole. Continue reading to see more on this exciting Nike Zoom Soldier 7 colorway and then see how much they went for from abtmchan on eBay.

Beautiful & Comfortable by the beach amazing patio
We had such a great time- I came with my wife and son who was recovering from some medical issues and Villa Gardenia was all that it said it would be. Ground floor entry- spacious- comfy beds- stocked up kitchen- beach towels- wifi access. Alex met us upon arrival and made us feel at home- we had some questions how to operate the AC and he was there in minutes to show us how to set the thermostat. Amazing location- was a quick minute stroll to the beach and a minute to the main pool and clubhouse. The community was beautifully maintained and peaceful- we always felts secure in the gated communty with security 24/7. We had two parking spaces reserved for us (only needed one) and loved that we could just walk out to the beach and head over to the Hyatt resort and use the beach and bar/ restaurant there anytime. Also fantastic restaurants nearby in Dorado. Can't wait to go back- maybe stay at one of the larger villas in the community that sleep ten with our extended family. Really Paradise!! Thanks Alma and Alex. ANW- Massachusetts
Romantic Vacations
y boyfriend and me spend really wonderful time in EL Dorado Club. There are a number of good restaurants nearby and many activities to do. We hiked in the rainforest, went bio kayaking, made a tour with fourtracks and of course spend amazing time at the beautiful beaches. To do all that stuff around the island, is better to rent a car, The apartment was clean and comfy. It has everything what we needed for relaxed vacation. The best part was, that we had support and help throughout the whole time from the owners, Jose and his parents. We get advice where to go and what to do. All in one, good service, really nice location, we had a blast.
Great way for a family to experience Puerto Rico
Dorado Beach is such a magnificent property. We had an enjoyable experience all around. We came with a 2, 6 and a 13 y.o. and there was something to do for all of them. When we weren't at the beach we were at the kids water park which was so nice for 6 and under. The beach was quiet and pleasant, and many days we were out there all by ourselves. We brought kites to fly as there is a great breeze every day. The house was well-kept, clean, with pots and pans supplied, linens and towels as well. After a storm, the whole resort lost power but Alex did a great job keeping us in the loop as he was in contact with resort engineers every step of the way. The villa is about a 10 minute walk to the beach and it is very easy to do. The property is huge so you need the golf cart if you want to explore. We had a big group, so next time I might look at renting a second cart in addition to the one provided. All in all a great stay. We hope to be coming back soon!
