This is an American eatery, with commensurate portions, so you can actually split quite a number of the courses between two people and have a decent portion each.
Luke's Oyster Bar & Chop House
260 Orchard Road
#03-02 The Heeren (Robinsons)
Tel: 6733-4813
Open Tues to Sun: 12pm to 10.30pm. Closed on Mon
THERE are several ways to get to Luke's Oyster Bar, but they're not particularly stylish. If you're used to valet-parking your Lamborghini at the doorstep of any haute hangout du jour, it may feel alien to leave it in a ground floor carpark and pick your way past racks of Great Singapore Sale merchandise to find the hidden polished doors of the popular American eatery's sophomore outpost.
This is if you know your way in the first place. If not, you'll have to ask one of the Robinsons sales staff ("There's no Luke here") or a passing security guard who will lead you, Cub Scout-style - using the FitFlop rack and women's jackets as markers instead of tree stumps - to your destination. Oh, if you're in need of an office cover-up, there are on-trend floral print designs at 50 per cent off.
Just park any hopes for a bargain at the restaurant's doors, because once you enter this coyly lit inner sanctum - dressed in posh slate-grey, chrome and wood, with handsome booths and long counter - you're looking at designer price points. Lobster pot pie at $105; John Dory for $95; half dozen oysters for $45; salads from $27 and sides; 12 bucks for French fries and $20 if you want hash browns with cheese.
But - bear in mind that the prices look high in absolute number, but this is an American eatery, with commensurate portions, so you can actually split quite a number of the courses between two people and have a decent portion each.
Judicious ordering will set you back a minimum of $70 to $80 a person, although if you're disciplined enough to just order a lunch special and dessert, you might be able to squeeze into a size $50 menu before taxes.
Complimentary circles of crumbly sweet cornbread and whipped butter lay the groundwork for starters such as lightly smoked salmon ($18), that flakes into delicate chunks of glistening, barely cooked flesh with just a hint of saltiness. Linseed crackers are hard but helpful edible spoons for you to scoop up every tartare-like mouthful. Lobster sliders ($24) are pricey for what they are - three bite-sized brioche buns filled with even smaller scoops of mayo studded with bits of lobster. While overly creamy, the light airy brioche is the perfect balance of puff and chewiness.
If they take out the clams from Luke's clam chowder ($17), you'd be left with a pot of thick cream the likes of which we haven't seen since they took lard out of char kway teow. This old-school favourite cocks a snook at dieters and challenges you to eat like an uninhibited American, with its motherlode of little neck clams caught in a briny tidal wave of cream and diced potatoes. Spread the guilt and split the portion into two - the helpful staff (when you can catch them) are used to the drill.
Oysters are run-of-the-mill. Fresh, but without the smooth, plump creaminess you'd expect. Out of the Katama Bay, Rip Tide and Wellfleet specimens we sample, Wellfleet comes closest to passing muster.
Also underwhelming are the overpriced crab cakes ($47) - crumbed patties filled with generous but lacklustre crabmeat sitting in a grain mustard sauce. We prefer the juicy giant prawns that live up to the name of Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail ($36) - five whoppers are poised over a glass of homemade cocktail sauce which merely gets in the way of enjoying the succulence of the prawns.
The lunch specials are well worth the money, whether it's the good quality tenderloin with fries ($37) done medium rare and comparable to more expensive cuts elsewhere; a textbook perfect burger ($27) of chopped rib-eye patty sandwiched in a larger version of the brioche bun used for the lobster sliders; an interesting veggie burger made with oats, wild rice and prunes that's sweet, chewy and almost meaty.
Or you could plump for the kurobuta pork chop ($60) - a hunk of meat on the bone that's nicely pink in the middle and juicy despite the overall tough leanness, with braised apple chunks on top. Counter the meat overdose with healthy chopped kale ($15 as a side dish) tossed in a too-sweet peanut dressing or chewy wild rice and blueberry ($15) salad which combines the earthy, chewy al dente rice with a fruity dressing and diced apples for crunch.
Gooey, baked on the spot chocolate chip cookies ($16) are blissfully good - so chocolatey it's like eating hot melted chocolate sandwiched between cookie dough. The accompanying stout milkshake is rich with just a hint of bitter stout to add another level of interest. Key lime pie ($16) comes in a distant second in its deconstructed form of lemoncurd, cookie crumbs and grilled meringue topping in a parfait glass. It tastes exactly as it sounds - okay, but not memorable.
Luke's Oyster Bar is fuss-free, well-made American food that follows the mantra that good ingredients can speak for themselves without any mucking about. Yes, you pay a premium, but unlike its Gemmill Lane flagship, you have an enviable view of Orchard Road and it's one of a handful of stylish independent restaurants in the area that's worth revisiting. But if you really want to save some money, we hear Robinsons' bedlinen is a steal...

I've been wondering this question for sometime now and figured I'd leave it up to my faithful readers.
Being featured is really an honor. When a person asks me if she can feature me on her blog, I literally blush. I am so humbled by the fact that someone thinks I'm good enough to grace her pages with my work. And, since I know what goes into writing a piece about a shop or a person, it's doubly exciting that she is willing to put that much work into talk about, well, me.
Having said, I've been featuring eco-friendly sellers since last year. It takes a little bit of work but I don't mind it if you appreciate reading about eco-shops and what the sellers are all about.
So I added a simple one question poll on the sidebar on the top. Can you take one second and click your answer?
Let me know what you are thinking.
If you have any specific thoughts about this feature, please leave me a comment.

This is the only BB cream I have tried so far so I have nothing else to compare it to. I have number 23, the darkest available at time of purchase. They have darker shades now. I am a NC35. The color doesn't match my skin tone at all. It was grayish when I first put it on, but the grayish tone goes away after awhile.
This product claims to do a lot of things for your skin. I am skeptical. I have gotten sunburns when wearing this BB cream. I went out for less than 2 hours. If it really has SPF 42, I should be able to go out for at least 14 hours (my skin starts to burn after 20 to 30 minutes in the sun with no sun protection). My skin didn't get whiter after using this.
This BB cream has medium coverage. It blurs out minor imperfections, but you can't hide acne with this. It is hard to put It on without using moisturizer first. It gives you a dewy look when you first put it on, but it makes your face look super oily by noon. Powder helps a little but not much. I have stopped using it because I can no longer stand the smell. Fragrance is too strong.
I am SO IMPRESSED. the lasting power is incredible and the coverage is great. it looks really natural and stays on almost all day. i apply it with a big round foundation brush (Tarte's) and then set it with a powder and a setting spray. i love it and have already rebought.
I feel like I'm the last one to jump on the Asian BB cream bandwagon, but here I am!
I've had pretty bad luck with US drugstore TMs and BB creams since everything is so pink/neutral. I wear this in #27, and it's a pretty good match to my yellowish NC30ish skin tone. It doesn't oxidize much, if at all. I'd call the coverage "medium," but I use the tiniest amount to get nice sheer, even coverage. If I set with an HD powder, it will stay matte for about 8 hours. If I don't set, it's dewier, but it doesn't turn into a greaseball either.
It does have a bit of a scent, but not so much that it's bothersome. I don't think it's causing breakouts--I had a few small spots two days after I started using it, but everything has cleared up and I think it was a coincidence.
I like the product and I'm planning on buying the full size when my sample runs out.
More reviews by dragongirl1111
I've tried almost every bb cream on the market, including very high-end brands. This is by far my favourite!
I have very sensitive aging skin with acne scars and areas of redness. This bb cream hides my imperfections so well that I use it in place of foundation. I'm also very sensitive to scented products and I never even noticed that there WAS a scent to this cream!
The colour is a bit odd (I chose 21) - looks almost like putty. But when I put it on my face, it blended in my my skintone perfectly. Having said that, I've ordered #13 (Milky Beige) just to try.
the coverage on this product is awesome. I have acne/acne scars/ red marks on my face and this stuff is full coverage on me. Seriously makes my skin look better than foundation does.
I hate the scent of it. Old lady.
I don't really like the way it feels, it doesn't feel light/dewey or have that "bb cream feel" that BB creams such as Boscia does. It feels heavy going on and the smell of it is just so awful to me. But the coverage and way it makes my skin feel, and how good it matches my skintone gives it 5 stars for me
for reference, I use shade 27 Honey beige. I wear MAC C4, NC40. In NARS I wear Santa Fe.
In the summer, I'm a shade too dark for 27 so I bought shade 31 Golden beige but it is wayy too dark for me, and orangey, so I mixed a little with 27 and it worked for me
I purchased this BB creme in No.21 - Light Beige. It looked shiny on my skin, and I started breaking out after using it a few days (and I rarely break out anymore).
Here is why: the fifth ingredient is MINERAL OIL!!!
Mineral oil is well known to clog pores, and most good companies do not use mineral oil as one of their main ingredients.
I wouldn't have purchased this if I knew the ingredients before I bought it. I won't buy products over the internet if I can't find out what it contains. Lesson learned :(
Current every day foundation. I have oily skin so I use it over a primer (majolica majorca skin lingerie), and Lioele Dollish Veil BB in Green to cancel out my redness.
Shade 13 is very pale, finally a decent match for my skin! It has a good consistency, nice coverage, and good SPF. My only complaint is that it does not last long on oily skin.
For the price though, I will definitely be repurchasing for a loooong time.
Pale girls who can't find anything light enough to match, consider trying this!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this BB Cream. I have really sensitive super dry skin and I have had no problems with this BB Cream. I use it in the shade #27 and it matches my skin perfectly. In the Missha website they do recommend you moisturize well before applying it since it can be quite drying, for me its no problem since I moisturize always before applying any product on my face, and they also recommend you set it with a powder for people with oily skin. Since I have dry skin, powder and I don't get along, however I do powder my forehead, nose and upper lip lightly since I do tend to sweat. I love the packaging, since it has a pump and I don't think I will look for any other BB Cream. I do have good skin, no blemishes or acne, but I do tend to get dry patches and this does not accentuate them, I also bought this for my mom who has combination skin, with acne and acne spots and it has helped her as well even out her skin tone and lighten those dark spots. I bought this on ebay for $15 and I love it.
No, no, no. This stuff is horrible. I tried three different shades, and all of them left a gray/purple hue on my face. I tried looking at my face in natural and artificial light and dusted my face with a powder as well. I didn't leave it on for too long each time I gave it try, so I can't speak for how it wears throughout the day. This was my first experience with BB cream and I'm not sure if BB creams are generally not my thing or if this stuff just sucks. Returning it!
I think this product is very overrated. I've tried a lot of BB Creams from Korea and this is one of the more drier formulas. While it is more drying and less emollient/creamy than other BB creams, the coverage is good and more than most BB creams I've tried. I am a NC 15-20 and tried no. 21. Although the lightness of the BB cream was fine, the color was way off.
Comparing this to my current favorite foundations (estee lauder/lancome), this is way more grey cast than even my foundations. It did not oxidize to my skin tone which is a good and bad thing. It is good because if you found a shade that was your match, this BB cream will keep its color well. Many other BB creams oxidize and this keeps its color well. But this grey toned BB cream (no. 21) did not suit my Korean skin. Weird why so many Korean companies keep insisting on grey or pink toned creams when most of the population has warm toned skin.. Oh well...
It had medium, almost full coverage. It covers redness around my nose and gives moderate coverage on hyperpigmentation. Because of the slightly drier formula, I found the foundation to stay up well but it does not prevent oiliness. It can possibly highlight some dry skin and look cakey if you use too much. I don't like for my BB creams to be cakey or dry looking. I like that BB creams look less cakey and dewier but this is not one of them. Pretty disappointed.

Found January 11, 2013 on Ted's Army:
PLAYERS: Mike Napoli, JD Drew, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Javier Vazquez, Peter Gammons, Curt Schilling
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Red Sox GM Ben Cherington, appearing on WEEI Thursday night, said he could offer no update on negotiations with free agent first baseman-catcher Mike Napoli, other than to say the sides are still talking. "We're still talking and when you're talking, there's hope for a resolution,'' Cherington said. "But nothing to report right now. "We have had dialogue [with Napoli's agent, Brian Grieper]. It's one of those situations, out of respect to Mike and the process, I'm not going to get into detail. Whenever we're talking and there's dialogue, it means we're hopeful of being able to do something, but we just don't know yet. We'll see how it plays out." It is now 38 days since the Sox and Napoli reached agreement on a deal that was to have paid him $39 million over three years. The deal hinged on Napoli taking a physical, and concerns about a hip condition surfaced that has cast the deal in some doubt. Clearly, the Sox are attempting to rework the terms of the deal in some fashion; what neither side has been willing to say is whether the Sox have asked to include language that would protect them against injury, as they did with J.D. Drew in 2007, or are simply seeking a reduction of the dollars and/or years they've offered to Napoli. ESPN - Cherington on Napoli: 'We're still talking' These things always seem so silly to me. These two guys can't just sit down in a room and hammered all this out within 5 hours? Really? The chain of events was basically this: Sox come to terms with Napoli. Sox find out that Napoli is using his grandmother's hip in place of his own. Napoli's agent shouts the 'F' word really really loudly. Sox decide that they still want Napoli, but want to change the contract a bit. Napoli's agent performs a series of sweet fist pumps. And then? As of right now, there's no "and then". Once all that other stuff happened, I don't understand why something wasn't able to be worked out. Cherington says, "We need to protect ourselves here. This is as far as we're willing to go." Napoli's agent says, "I need to you come a bit further." Yada yada yada, somebody signs a freaking contract. What it's starting to feel like is that the Sox don't really want him, at least not for whatever they're going to be on the hook for. And Napoli doesn't want to miss out on his last big payday simply because a quarter of his body is on the fritz. So Napoli is waiting for someone, anyone, to come to his rescue and toss him a few sacks of cash. Boston knows a.) that ain't happening, and b.) Napoli's best chance at being productive and getting himself another deal if his hip holds up is in Fenway. So we have ourselves an old fashioned Mexican standoff. At some point, one of the two sides (Napoli's) is going to say "Screw it" and lower their asking price to get the deal done. The only trouble is that it's January 11th and Spring Training is still a ways away, so this could drag on a while longer. Honestly, though. This shouldn't have taken more than a few hours. Rest of the links: Herald - Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz should skip WBC | Right-hander Javier Vazquez still on radar | Globe - Ask Nick: Is Cherington making the grade? | Chat with Peter Gammons Friday at 11 a.m. | WEEI - The Red Sox' search for the next Lester and Buchholz | Curt Schilling on D&C: Hall of Fame shutout 'one of the prices' all players paid for failure to address steroids | CSNNE - Report: Red Sox have -- or haven't -- broken off talks with Mike Napoli | Nava preparing for spring

Movie Review: Skyfall
The Charlotte Observer
We begin with scenes that could have come from a James Bond movie 50 years ago: A dying agent bleeds in a seedy hotel room, motorcycles race across rooftops in an unnamed city, a fight runs the length of a moving train that ducks in and out of tunnels, and the voice of M barks into 007's earpiece: "Get that list! We can't afford to lose it!"
We end with the old iconic image of Bond, seen through a camera lens before the final credits. He enters the frame, he turns and shoots, crimson seeps over the lens, and we sigh in amused gratitude.
Yet in between comes the resurrection of a new Bond: literally so, as he returns to London a grizzled alcoholic after a shooting presumed to be fatal, and metaphorically so in a movie that hasn't been surpassed in the Bond canon since Sean Connery's glory days – and maybe not then.
Director Sam Mendes and writers Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan reinvent Bond for the 21st century as a man struggling in a world of surveillance cameras and computer chips. Bond meets the new Q at the National Gallery and receives a pistol that will respond only to his handprint and a tiny radio. "Were you expecting an exploding pen?" Q asks the disappointed Bond. "We don't go in much for that these days."
The filmmakers expertly balance historical homages and modern action. Take Silva, who's played by bleached-blonde Javier Bardem.
He has the purring voice, falsely cheerful manner and ambiguous sexuality of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. (Silva apparently likes men and women.) At the same time, he's a computer genius who enriched himself by hacking into bank accounts – no world-dominating madman he – and is wreaking havoc on MI6 headquarters to revenge himself on M (Judi Dench) for a supposed betrayal long ago.
So goes the mix of old and new in all respects. Bond (Daniel Craig, in top acting and shirtless form) gets help in the field, but it comes from a black British woman (Naomie Harris), with the American CIA nowhere to be found.
Q (Ben Whishaw) is in his 20s and something of a computer genius, with almost no interest in guns or bombs. M's overseer, Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), isn't a self-protecting bureaucrat or stupid obstructionist; he wants to help and does. (That's an in-joke: Fiennes was considered a possible Bond until Pierce Brosnan got the call.)
"Skyfall" constantly tweaks expectations: Bond walks into a Macau casino yet never joins any of the games. Occasionally, the writers fall asleep at the switch: Silva manages a seemingly impossible escape off-camera, and the necessary explanation goes unprovided.
But if the movie slips a bit thematically, it's always up to snuff aurally and visually. Thomas Newman writes apt new music and falls back on the famous 007 guitar theme just when we want it. Nine-time Oscar nominee Roger Deakins, the Coen brothers' favorite cinematographer ("True Grit"), does wonderful work with limited light, and the nighttime climax of "Skyfall" has tragic grandeur.
Best of all, we finally learn something about Bond's origins: The movie takes its title from his ancestral home in Scotland. (A nod to Connery, perhaps?) Tell me which origin story this suggests to you:
Bond's wealthy parents died when he was a boy. He inherited their manor house, complete with a subterranean passage by which to escape when under attack. He decided to fight crime – "Orphans make the best recruits," says the canny M – and is assisted by an elderly, vigorous family retainer (Albert Finney), who supplies him with weaponry. Bond also owns a specially equipped vehicle, an Aston-Martin that can send evildoers through the roof and fires from twin machine guns. (Welcome back, old friend!)
Yes, 007 seems to have co-opted Batman's history: Silva, whose mouth was disfigured during a near-death experience, even suggests the Joker. Yet there's an innocence to Bond that Bruce Wayne lost long ago, plus a realization that he can't succeed alone.
Bond can handle killers with knuckles or a pistol, but someone else has to track their flight paths first. That, above all things, makes him a hero for our century: He can only be fully effective as the fist at the end of the arm of a global network of espionage.
Old tricks, new twists balance in beautiful harmony in Bond film.(Full review)
The new Q could have kept more humor despite losing the gadgets. Bond lets morality play, perhaps, but loses another Bond Girl who could have added more. The creepy villain almost made me laugh, despite his serious motivation - he just didn't trump all the world destroyers of the past. And why leave fake breadcrumbs to a real location (I know - DB5) Visual variety was good but I'm glad I didn't pay for Imax.
Don't expect your typical bond film. I found this one to be more of a psychological thriller; a little less action. Some parts were slower than usual. Not necessarily bad; just different. I probably won't be picking this one up in Blu-ray.
If you're familiar with Fleming's Bond and the later books, it firmly established that Bond is of Swiss and Scottish descent, and Fleming chose Scottish after being impressed with Connery's portrayal in Dr. No.
Its really bad when a movie cirtic does not understand one of the most iconic opening sequences in a series of movies-At the start of a James Bond movie you see Bond down the barrell of a gun- not a freaking camera lens-- Larry-- pick up a book on the Bond films- you maybe able to write a more informed review.

How To Find Out How Much Your Website Is Worth!
Posted Under: Internet Marketing
How To Find Out How Much Your Website Is Worth!
If you own a website and you're like most of us in the Internet Marketing world, then you're bound to eventually wonder "How much is my website is worth". Let's face it most Internet Marketers consider their website's their babies, so knowing this is nice. But if you're considering buying a website or you want to sell one of your own, this information is extremely important!
So how can an Internet Marketer find out how much their website is worth? Well there are a lot of different free resources available to determine how much any website on the Internet is worth. The problem is that they all come up with a wide range of estimated values. And honestly, I don't think anyone can prove that any one of them is more accurate than the other.
Free Website Valuation Tools

As I said, you are going to get different amounts from each of these websites but at the very least they give you an idea of how much a particular website might be worth. I'll use one of my websites as an example. After conducting a query at all 10 of these websites, I found the lowest estimate to be at $1,924 while the highest was at $13,607.
Determining Your Websites Value
If you just want to get an idea of how much your website is worth, then these websites will definitely help you out with that. But if you're seriously considering buying a website or selling one of your own, then you will probably be wondering how to decide which one is the best one to use to determine your selling price, or to determine how much you should offer for a particular website you're interested in buying.
There are free online calculators that you could always use for this, but I would do this a little differently if it were me. What I would do is add the value that all 10 of these websites give you, then take that total and divide it by 10. This will give you the average amount from all 10 of these websites. This may not be the most accurate, and there is no guarantee that a website is truly worth or only worth this amount, but in my opinion this gives someone a good fair figure to start out with.
By doing this for the website I mentioned a minute ago, the average estimated value of that website, comes out to be $5,082. Another option would be to throw away the lowest amount and the highest amount. Then total all 8 of the estimated values together and divide that number by 8. When I did this for the same website my estimated value was $4,315.
So by using these figures I believe I could safely say that this website is worth somewhere between $5,082 and $4,315. I would consider this area to be a fair and accurate starting point for either buying or selling that website.
To Your Success!
P.S. By the way, if you would like to buy this website from me for $13,607 drop me a line and it's yours, LOL.

A young man, Tal Fortgang, "condemns [his 'educators] for diminishing everything I have personally accomplished, all the hard work I have done in my life, and for ascribing all the fruit I reap not to the seeds I sow but to some invisible patron saint of white maleness who places it out for me before I even arrive. Furthermore, I condemn them for casting the equal protection clause, indeed the very idea of a meritocracy, as a myth, and for declaring that we are all governed by invisible forces (some would call them "stigmas" or "societal norms"), that our nation runs on racist and sexist conspiracies. Forget "you didn't build that;" check your privilege and realize that nothing you have accomplished is real. …"
Tal traces his "privileged" past (no black person has suffered this way in America):
Perhaps it's the privilege my grandfather and his brother had to flee their home as teenagers when the Nazis invaded Poland, leaving their mother and five younger siblings behind, running and running until they reached a Displaced Persons camp in Siberia, where they would do years of hard labor in the bitter cold until World War II ended. Maybe it was the privilege my grandfather had of taking on the local Rabbi's work in that DP camp, telling him that the spiritual leader shouldn't do hard work, but should save his energy to pass Jewish tradition along to those who might survive. Perhaps it was the privilege my great-grandmother and those five great-aunts and uncles I never knew had of being shot into an open grave outside their hometown. Maybe that's my privilege.
Or maybe it's the privilege my grandmother had of spending weeks upon weeks on a death march through Polish forests in subzero temperatures, one of just a handful to survive, only to be put in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she would have died but for the Allied forces who liberated her and helped her regain her health when her weight dwindled to barely 80 pounds. …
… Those who came before us suffered for the sake of giving us a better life. When we similarly sacrifice for our descendents by caring for the planet, it's called "environmentalism," and is applauded. But when we do it by passing along property and a set of values, it's called "privilege." (And when we do it by raising questions about our crippling national debt, we're called Tea Party radicals.) Such sacrifice of any form shouldn't be scorned, but admired. …

You can have vulvar cancer without having any symptoms, but many women do. These are some common symptoms of vulvar cancer:
Vulvar itching that does not improve
A change in skin color around the vulva. Your skin may become more red, lighter, or darker in color than the surrounding skin.
A change in the feel of your skin around the vulva. Your skin may feel thicker, scalier, rougher, or bumpier than surrounding skin.
Wart-like bump or bumps, cauliflower-like growths, or ulcers or sores on the vulva
Pain when urinating
Burning or bleeding and discharge not related to your menstrual cycle
Enlarged glands in your groin
One type of vulvar cancer, called melanoma of the vulva, has different symptoms. These are some of the possible signs of vulvar melanoma:
A new mole on the vulva or a change in a mole that has been present for years
An abnormal mole. It may be asymmetrical, meaning one half doesn't match the other. The mole may have an irregular or lacy border, meaning the edges are ragged, or it may also be irregular in color. A mole that is wider than 1/4 inch may be of concern as well
These symptoms may be signs of other problems, including noncancerous changes. See your doctor to know for sure.

AALS 2009 Annual Meeting

Statement Adopted by AALS Executive Committee
August 15, 2008
The AALS 2009 Annual Meeting will take place January 6-10, 2009, in San Diego, California. Several years ago the Association booked rooms at the San Diego Marriott and the Manchester Grand Hyatt. In the last few weeks there have been suggestions that the Association should boycott the Hyatt because its owner has contributed money to a ballot initiative designed to overturn the California Supreme Court's May decision in favor of same-sex marriage. In addressing this issue, the Executive Committee has sought to ensure that the Annual Meeting serves the needs of all participants to the maximum extent possible given our contractual obligations to the hotels.
Our contracts with the hotels provide that each hotel reserve a block of guest rooms, and leave to the AALS the choice of where to locate the AALS Registration, Exhibit Hall, Section Programs, Presidential Programs, and House of Representatives meetings. We will honor our contracts with both hotels, and we have exercised our option to hold all AALS events at the Marriott to ensure the maximum participation by our members.
Law schools and other organizations hosting meetings and receptions will be contacted soon by an AALS meetings manager regarding the location of their events. Faculty and staff at law schools will soon receive housing information and you will be able to choose your individual hotel room on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with the usual housing procedures.
Institutional Pluralism
The AALS is an association of self-governing intellectual communities. Member schools are expected to adhere to our core values of teaching, scholarship, academic freedom, and diversity. But within the wide space bounded by those values our members are very different kinds of institutions. There are 72 state schools that play special roles in the legal communities of their sponsoring states. There are 49 religiously affiliated law schools whose missions are defined or influenced by particular faiths. There are law schools at historically black colleges and universities that have their own special commitments; and schools whose intellectual efforts are governed by a particular point of view (like law and economics) or directed at a particular subject matter (environmental law, or intellectual property). This year's theme focuses on the value of our institutional differences.
Institutional pluralism is a good thing for our students in the same way choices are good for consumers in other fields. It may also contribute in an important way to a healthy intellectual life. Progress in the life of the mind is a cultural achievement. A community of scholars working on the same problem, or in the same idiom, may accomplish things a group of disconnected individuals could not. (Think of the Manhattan Project, or fin de siècle Vienna .) The Association should cherish the interests of its members in pursuing these ends.
At the same time there are powerful market and regulatory norms that push law schools toward uniformity. The ABA accreditation process uses one set of standards that it asks all institutions to conform to. The U.S. News ranking system uses another linear measure. Law firms who hire our graduates rely on simple tools like rankings as an index of quality. These forces may impede, or even frustrate, schools' efforts to cultivate their own distinctive identities.
The AALS might also want to reflect on the issue of institutional variety in its own affairs. We now see, around AALS annual meetings, a number of parallel organizations concerned with particular points of view. The Federalist Society and the Society of American Law Teachers are just two examples. Should the Association (like some of its members) cultivate a particular set of interests or values, and leave it to other organizations to develop opposing points of view? Or is the proper analogy something more like Congress a single body comprising different members but representing all possible approaches?

With temperatures soaring during the hottest months of the year, Australians use all sorts of techniques to find respite from the heat. Choosing the right products is particularly important to those with asthma and allergies, as some air conditioners and dehumidifiers can benefit these conditions, whereas others can actually exacerbate symptoms, says the National Asthma Council Australia.
Being environmentally conscious is increasingly important in building and renovating. Equally important, but less well recognised, are the health implications of building and renovating to professionals and DIYers, says the National Asthma Council Australia.
Summer cleaning can help reduce allergy and asthma triggers in your home, advises the National Asthma Council Australia, but it must be done with care to avoid triggering an asthma attack while dusting.
The National Asthma Council Australia has called on Australian car manufacturers to take the respiratory health of Australians more seriously by installing cabin air filters in all vehicles and informing consumers what filtration car models have.
The National Asthma Council Australia has called on those in regions that have been flooded to be aware of mould and to take steps to reduce its spread.

MY BIG, FAT DRAGON CHAPTER 2MY BIG, FAT DRAGONWarning: Don't read if you don't like big, fat, cuddly, draggies.Chapter 2: Destined for GreatnessFare was not your average 14 year old boy. No matter what he did, no one would accept him for who he was. Sure, you could blame it on the fact that he was a four-eyed brace-face looser who did nothing but watch T.V., surf the web, and play video games. But the real problem lied deeper than that. The real problem was his personality. He was what most people would call "immature". Although he was 14 and in fact was mature, he had a deep, burning, passionate obsession, Dragons. Of course everyone teased him about it, but he didn't mind. He was more of a loner himself and liked his space. If he could he would much rather hang out with his pets and talk to them instead. He always felt so awkward in large groups of people, but seeemed to feel right at home with animals.
MY BIG, FAT DRAGON CH3MY BIG, FAT DRAGONWarning: Only for fat DraggiesFlare awoke the next morning on his living room floor to hear voices talking over him. They werent his parents, but someone elses, and there were a lot of them. He cautiously opened one eye a crack, and instantly shut it. He was completely surrounded by animals, and not just his house pets, but wild ones as well. Flare wondered why his dogs hadnt protected him whats more the voices seemed to be coming from the animals. Josie, the most faithful of his dogs, was lying on the floor beside him. A stag was talking to her, and apparently the conversation was about him.How do we know hes the chosen one for sure? He looks like any regular human to me.He was lifted clear off the ground by a comet of pure light. If thats not a sign, then I dont know what is. Wait, shh. Listen, his breathings changed. I think hes awake.Flare shuddered and closed his eyes tigh
MY BIG, FAT DRAGON CH 1MY BIG, FAT DRAGONWarning: If you are easily frightened, or pee your pants at the mere thought of a big, fat, cuddly, yet powerful draggie, this story is not for you. Should you read this, the author and all supporters involved are in no way responsible for any nightmares (dreams should you happen to like Dragons like me), or any bed-wetting that might ensue. Also, to those who like Dragons, I am also in no accounts responsible if you poop your pants form laughing so hard after reading this warning.Chapter 1: The Powers That Be and Amazing OriginsEver since the dawn of time, two great forces have governed our world. Light and Darkness (Good and Evil) are forever locked in a titanic power struggle for dominance. For centuries they balanced each other, then came the making of our galaxy, the Milky Way. As with all the others before, Light and Darkness instantly began feuding over it. Darkness added the cold void of spac
Big Beautiful DragonessStef and Demiraby BiffieaStef Owned by CrazystefIt was a bright Saturday morning. The sun was shining brightly through Stef's cave. He was awoken by the rays, and slowly stood up from the position he had been peacefully sleeping in. He walked over to the entrance of his cave, looked up at the sun, and smiled as the light shone on his face. He was a very large dragon. With webbed feet, and fins on his wings that went to the tip of his tail, he looked aquatic. While his long curved horns made him look ferocious, he was a very kind and sweet dragon. He walked out of the cave and flew into the tops of the forest, looking for his breakfast. Having incredible wing power, Stef looked very graceful taking off. He was tone, and thin. Always one to work out, he was in peak physical health. Though, it wasn't a quality he admired in other dragons.Perhaps it was a reaction to how hard he had worked out his entire life. Maybe he wanted somebody he could always take care of. Maybe he had a chemic
Steven's DragonSteven's DragonThis story if for fat admirers. If you don't like fat, please do not read.Steven was sitting at his desk, surfing the internet. Thank God for whatever force had created it. Without his computer, he would have nothing to do all day! No real friends to speak of, school was always boring, and a bit of a chore. All he could really did, was surf, and play video games.Though, he was after something interesting online. Dragons. Steven loved everything about dragons. Their scales, wings, power, everything. Though, there was one other thing he loved. Fat. There was nothing more beautiful to him, than a fat dragon. The several pictures and stories he had found about huge dragons, he had loved, and viewed frequently. just the thought of one, gave him a warm feeling inside. Not necessarily sexual, but always admiration.AS he shut down his computer for the night, he had one last great thought. "I wish I had a sexy fat dragoness here with me. It would be perfect! I'd make sure she

Jacob was sitting on his couch, watching TV as per normal, with his best buddy, Sandslash. Jacob catchall, good trainers have such corny names, was a retired trainer. About six foot one, jet black hair that spiked up a bit in the front, brown eyes, and gentle features. He was a very unimposing character in any context. Next to him was Sandslash, his quills, amazingly, never once punctured the sofa, something that had amazed Jacob so far. Jacob's career as a trainer had taken him deep into the league. He ranked about thirtieth in the league. This was impressive considering that there were so many trainer in Johto, but anybody that fell below the top ten didn't get much attention, and Jacob had to quit training, broke in search of a real job. He sold bicycles for the local shop, which was a surprisingly good job. He didn't have to work to hard (you didn't have to convince

The mattress wasn't the most comfortable, but it was better than the concrete floor.It was the next day after the changes had first started. Jakes Grandfather had taken him down to the harbor and led him to a warehouse just inside the waterfront. Inside crates of all sizes had been stacked up to the ceiling, nearly filling the room save for a small office area which Jakes Grandfather had told him he'd be sleeping in."G, are you serious?" Jake had said at the time, falling back to his slang out of habit, "There isn't even enough room to swing a skateboard, let alone stand up.""Do not worry young one," Jakes Grandfather had noted patiently, "By the end of tomorrow, you won't have to worry about sleeping in there. But you must swear to me, that no matter what happens, you will not leave this building until the changes are done.""But-"

MY BIG, FAT DRAGON CH4MY BIG FAT DRAGON CH4Warning: If you dont like fat Dragons and vore, then do not read.Chapter 4: Wish FulfillmentI got up and looked at the small little dragon as it shook the remains of the shattered eggshell of itself. I backed up and stepped on an old dry leaf. The dragon instantly whipped around and faced me. Our eyes locked. I wanted to turn and run, but something in the way those eyes stared at me held me firmly in place. Without warning, the dragon leaped onto me with such force that I fell over backwards. To my amazement, it did not hurt me, but began licking my face all over. Once I was thoroughly covered in drool, it got off and let me up. Not knowing what to do, I just stood there looking at the dragon confused. It saw this, and its little head dropped, a look of sheer sadness upon its face.You dont remember me, do you?I was confused.

Along these lines we provide answers to the following questions: What are the effects of superior CSR on corporate financial performance? What are the effects that particular aspects of ESG have on the cost of equity or cost of debt for firms? Does CSR make sense from a strategic management perspective? Are financial markets aware of CSR? Our compilation of papers on CSR indicates that superior ESG policies are generally related to (1) better operating performance,...Read full research
Equator Principles Adoption Peer Pressure or Piggybacking?
Working paper
16-04-14 | Jaap W.B. Bos | Gaby Contreras | Stefanie Kleimeier | Why do firms adopt voluntary guidelines? In this paper, we answer this question in a market where firms cooperate: the worldwide syndicated loan market where banks can voluntarily adopt the Equator Principles (EP). This setting allows us to study the effects of peer pressure and piggybacking. As banks fear to be excluded from future and profitable deals they may succumb to peer pressure effects. On the other hand, through piggybacking banks free ride on EP adopting banks to benefit from reputational gains. We account for social pressure, as banks are judged by the market for their actions...

Working paper

A widely acknowledged explanation for this gap between expected and the realized energy savings is household behavior, as energy efficiency gains alter the perceived cost of comfort and thereby generate shifts in consumption patterns -- a "rebound effect".

The Street Glide tries hard to bridge the gap between full-on tourer and custom street bike. The bike is based on Harley's spine frame touring chassis but is 'slammed' for a low mean look. The twin cam 96 cubic inch (1584cc) engine hauls the bike briskly to a comfortable 80mph cruising speed with just the right amount of vibes. As with all the air-cooled Harley engines, they may not be fast but they sure are tractable.
The rubber mounted Twin Cam engine packs enough punch to swiftly haul rider and pillion up to an 80mph cruising speed. The motor offers instant torque from walking pace and once underway the gear lever is largely an accessory. It may be an old-fashioned push-rod style motor but fuel injection and electronic throttle control to squeeze maximum driveabilty from the 1584cc lump.
Considering its size, the 'bat-wing' handlebar mounted fairing does a remarkable job of protecting you from the breeze and below 80mph you can hear the stereo clearly. The ride is good considering the slammed suspension. New for 2010 is an 18inch front wheel and dual compound tyres.
The four speaker Harmon Kardon 40 watt audio system works well and can be heard up to 80mph, though switching between radio and CD is frustratingly difficult. The hard Nylon panniers aren't exactly the most convenient shape being long and thin but they are deep. Like all Harleys, the seat is thick, wide and will stay comfy mile-after-mile. Compare and buy parts for the Street Glide in the MCN Shop.
Harleys are meant to polished not punished. The acres of chrome and paint won't take well to a British winter but in recent years they've taken huge steps to improve the durability of the finish.
You might not get the performance and handling that you do from an equivalent European or Japanese cruiser but to many people the Harley kudos overcomes all. Find a Harley-Davidson Street Glide for sale.

With the rise of North Korea's beloved new leader, Kim Jong-Un, this Tumblr blog is following his succession, with a similar, teasingly purposeful series of photos of the new dictator "looking at things." The blog comes after the original "Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things" photo blog, the last posted photo being that of February 23, 2010.

New North Korean initiatives on nuclear talks with US
BEIJING (AP) — The United States and North Korea met for a second day of talks Friday on restarting nuclear disarmament in return for aid, negotiations that were delayed by the death of North Korea's longtime leader Kim Jong Il two months ago.
The discussions, which ran all day Thursday, could signal whether North Korea under new leader Kim Jong Un is ready to agree to steps demanded by Washington and Pyongyang's neighbors to return to broader multinational disarmament talks. More than three years have passed since the last six-nation discussions, which are meant to provide aid and diplomatic concessions in return for the North taking verifiable steps to mothball its nuclear weapons programs.
While authority of the new North Korean supreme leader Kim Jung-un may appear doubtful in general public, recent development with the States to initiate new nuclear power discussion seems to hint at stabilized internal power struggle in North Korea. That is, if there was any to start with. However, the bigger question still remains: will Kim differ from his cruel predecessor, or take the same bumpy road of oppression and terrorism?
Friday Feb 4
The Egypt and North Korea Connection
The outbreak of protests in Egypt have been astounding audiences worldwide - audiences including those in North Korea.
So what do these protests to overthrow Hosni Mubarak and the current situation in North Korea have in common?
The Egyptian regime faced much opposition when President Mubarak tried to transfer power to his son. Similarly, North Korea's infamous Kim regime has been transferring power for three generations and with the talk of Kim Jong Il's son, Kim Jong Un, taking over the deal leader's position, the current North Korean regime may have every right to feel uneasy about the democratic protests happening in Egypt.
The protests have shown incredible strength in their effects and in their message to the world - the power of democracy. Radio Free Asia reported that a number of North Korean citizens have been secretly listening in on the Egyptian protests through their cellular phones, which are harder to regulate than regular landline phone calls. Other ways in which North Korean citizens may hear about the protests are through international phone calls from relatives in other countries or by secretly tuning into South Korean television news programs. It is a widely known fact that the North Korean government heavily regulates the information that its citizens have access to, perhaps largely for the fear of the influence that might cause an outbreak of some sorts. Thus, one can understand why the North Korean regime, as RFA speculates, are taking the current Egypt very seriously.
All the more reason for the North Korean government to worry is the friendly ties between them and Egypt. On January 26, the day after the Egyptian revolts began, the CEO of Egypt's Orascom Telecom, which owns a majority of North Korea's sole 3G cellular network, met and dined with Kim Jong Il.
The bigger picture amongst these revolts in the influence in thought and the potential for change that citizens possess. Over 100 protestors have died in these past few days and chaos has gone loose in the streets of Cairo, but their message is still one that brings hope to even America, arguably the most democratic nation in the world. South Korean bloggers have been writing about the connection between the two nations and how the uprising in Egypt may potentially bring about a change in North Korea. GangPitDae, in a public online discussion forum, says it best:
이번 사태는 지역과 종교, 문화를 막론하고 민주주의는 거스릴 수 없는 시대정신 이며, 인류사회의 대세임을 보여주고 있습니다. 당연히 북한도 예외가 될 수 없습니다. 북한주민이라고 해서 주민들의 기본적인 생존조차 보장해 주지 못하는 형편없는 못난 정권에 마냥 복종하지는 않을 것입니다. 다음차례는 바로 김정일 정권이 될 듯 싶네요.
This (protest) shows that democracy is the irrevocable spirit of our time and is the mainstream of human history regardless of the geography, religion and culture. North Koreans will no longer succumb to an incompetent regime who can't even guarantee them the basic means of survival. Next [to be deposed] is the Kim Jung-il regime.
Whether one agrees with these thoughts or not, the immense effect of the Egyptian protests are influencing not only their own government but of their immense audience worldwide.

SanDisk unveiled a 32 GB CompactFlash card yesterday, the company's largest CF storage device. The Extreme III CompactFlash doubles the size of SanDisk's previous CF card and has read and write speeds of 30 MB per second, according to this InformationWeek piece.
The device is scheduled to hit U.S. retail shelves in October and targets professional videographers and photographers. The new product adds to a portfolio that makes SanDisk an attractive acquisition target. At the beginning of the week, rumors swirled that Samsung was planning a buyout of SanDisk, but insiders say a deal now appears unlikely.

Available for Earline W. Barnes:
Earline W. Payne was born on July 17, 1926 on an Oklahoma farm and was raised in Texas and California. Earline married James O. Barnes. Through his military career, Jim and Earline moved and traveled extensively for over twenty-five years – and had five children along the way. Jim retired a Lt. Colonel from the U.S. Army in 1972. They chose El Paso for their permanent home.Earline always wanted to be an artist, but with a large, young family there was no time. As years went by and the children grew and left home, Earline finally found time for art. She began art classes in the early 70's studying under Carl Cogar. After a few years of lessons, Cogar urged Earline to teach her own classes. Earline started slowly, teaching painting to children and senior citizens for the El Paso Parks and Recreation Department. After a few years, Earline found her talent in demand and she taught workshops around the country. She gave demonstrations for art groups and also taught art classes in her home studio. She taught art for over twenty years. Earline actively painted for thirty-three years and is well known for her distinctive impressionist work and was also known as a colorist. Earline won numerous awards during the pursuit of her love – including many First Place and Best of Show awards. Earline also gave many hours of her time to public television's KCOS art programs and appeared numerous times over the years as a commentator for the on-the-air art auctions.Earline was a member of the El Paso Art Association, Knickerbocker Artists, Pastel Society of El Paso and the National League of American Pen Women.In recent years, Earline's paintings were featured in many regional galleries, including:Advant Studio & Gallery of El Paso, TXGlenn Cutter Gallery of Las Cruces, NMEl Presidio Gallery of Ruidoso, NMEmerald Isle of El Paso, TXFolger Gallery of Midland, TXHal Marcus Gallery of El Paso, TXJoseph Bender Art & Antiques of El Paso, TXLinda Lundeen Gallery of Las Cruces, NMMill Atlier Gallery of Sante Fe, NMStudio W Gallery of Las Cruces, NMThe Sun Bowl Art Show in El Paso, TX in November 2006, in conjunction with the Sun Bowl Association, will feature an Earline W. Barnes Award, to honor Earline's many years of contributions to the El Paso art community.Earline's work is included in many permanent private collections, including the El Paso Museum of Art, Ft. Bliss Air Defense Museum, El Paso Marriott, Sierra Providence Medical Center and the International Museum of Art.Earline W. Barnes passed away October 31, 2005 in El Paso, Texas.

Birth Cohort and the Black-White Achievement Gap: The Roles of Access and Health Soon After Birth
AbstractOne literature documents a significant, black-white gap in average test scores, while another finds a substantial narrowing of the gap during the 1980's, and stagnation in convergence after. We use two data sources -- the Long Term Trends NAEP and AFQT scores for the universe of applicants to the U.S. military between 1976 and 1991 -- to show: 1) the 1980's convergence is due to relative improvements across successive cohorts of blacks born between 1963 and the early 1970's and not a secular narrowing in the gap over time; and 2) the across-cohort gains were concentrated among blacks in the South. We then demonstrate that the timing and variation across states in the AFQT convergence closely tracks racial convergence in measures of health and hospital access in the years immediately following birth. We show that the AFQT convergence is highly correlated with post-neonatal mortality rates and not with neonatal mortality and low birth weight rates, and that this result cannot be explained by schooling desegregation and changes in family background. We conclude that investments in health through increased access at very early ages have large, long-term effects on achievement, and that the integration of hospitals during the 1960's affected the test performance of black teenagers in the 1980's.

DayZ Diaries: the one where Andy wonders what's next
Every week, DayZ Diaries recounts Andy's adventures in post-apocalyptic survival sim DayZ, where beans and friends are frequently in short supply. This week, Andy looks to the future of DayZ.
I've logged 98 hours in the DayZ alpha since it was released in December, and I think I've finally bled it dry. When I start a new life I have a routine. I hit the nearest town to my spawn point, scavenge as much food and drink as I can, then head inland. Here I pick the towns that everyone ignores clean until I have a backpack, a fire axe, and maybe a weapon if I'm lucky. Then I'll hit an airfield or military base and, providing I survive, pick up a tactical vest, ammo, weapon attachments, and other military gear. I'm so familiar with the map now that I can do this in as little as an hour. Then I reach the point that every geared player in DayZ has experienced at least once: what do I do now?

Butch Trucks recently joked that he wished the Allman Brothers could tour more frequently, but too many members of the band have side projects marking up the calendar.
His nephew, Derek Trucks, is guilty as charged.
The longtime leader of The Derek Trucks Band, the guitarist – to whom the word amazing applies without being hyperbolic – has a new focus these days: The Tedeschi Trucks Band, the 11-piece outfit he fronts with his wife, the blues-soul singer-guitarist Susan Tedeschi.
The group, which also includes Allman alum Oteil Burbridge on bass, won a Grammy for best blues album for "Revelator," its debut last year. For their second recording, the band released the live "Everybody's Talkin'."
Through Labor Day, they're playing a handful of shows with B.B. King – including a Sunday stop at Chastain Park

Glenn Greenwald | Government-Created Climate of Fear
…But more significant than the legal soundness of this fear was what the fear itself signified. Most of those expressing these concerns were perfectly rational, smart, well-informed American citizens. And yet they were petrified that merely donating money to a non-violent political and journalistic group whose goals they supported would subject them to invasive government scrutiny or, worse, turn them into criminals. A government can guarantee all the political liberties in the world on paper (free speech, free assembly, freedom of association), but if it succeeds in frightening the citizenry out of exercising those rights, they become meaningless.
