Best TO walking and eating neighbourhoods?
We're moving to Toronto from Montreal in January and we are really bummed because we live in a great foodie neighbourhood and we can walk to great diners, bistros and 5 star restos in 10 minutes or less. Oh, and we are within walking distance of Jean-Talon market. Sigh.
My spouse and I love good food (both to cook and eat) and we want to live somewhere where we can get good nosh (good quality ingredients and good restaurant fare) quickly and easily. We are planning a house-hunting trip in a few weeks and we are going to look in Little Italy, Trinity-Bellwoods, Riverdale and Roncesvalles. Can fellows chowhounds point us to some good places to eat and shop in these neighbourhoods, and maybe give us some ideas about which is the best eating neighbourhood?
An added note: We are not the kind of people who would dine out at Susur once a week (do these people exist?) A great neighbourhood for us would contain one or all of the following:
a nice neighbourhood Italian place w/ a decent red sauce, pizzas etc
a Portuguese chicken joint
a good seasonal farmers market
a cheese shop wherein one can buy a raw milk cheese or two
a good bakery (Toronto has some of the worst bread I have tasted - does anyone in the city use a natural yeast starter? Everything I have eaten breadwise seems to use commercial yeast)
We need help - we are really upset to be leaving Montreal...
I recently moved to Riverdale and am really enjoying the area in terms of the food culture. A few restaurants that come to mind are Citizen, Batifole, Pop bistro, Fare bistro, Tomi Kro, etc. If you do a search of riverdale and/or leslieville on this board you will find the various restaruants and people's reviews. The area offers most of what you are looking for. No portguguese chicken joint but there is a jerk chicken place, there are a couple of farmers markets within walking distance depending on where you are, there is a cheese shop called leslieville cheese shop (http://leslievillecheese.com/), there is also St. Johns Bakery (http://www.stjohnsbakery.com) and a number of great coffee shops. I wish I could tell you more or give a review of the specific places but I am just starting to get a feel for the neighbourhood myself.
Except for the seasonal farmer's market, it sounds like my midtown neighbourhood from Davisville to Eglington S/N and from Yonge St. to Mt. Pleasant W/E.
Italian-Camerini on Mt. Pleasant S of Eglington for family resto, Zucca on Yonge S of Eglington for modern.
Portuguese Chicken-Churrascuria at Eglington/Mt. Pleasant
Cheese Shop-Cheese Boutique at Mt. Pleasant/Eglington
Bakery-Jules Patisserie and Celestin, both on Mt. Pleasant between Davisville and Eglinton
BTW even though there is no Farmer's Market, there are 3 good and different produce purveyors on Yonge from Davisville to Eglington.
There is also:
Italian Deli-Salumeria
Fresh Pasta-Pasta Pantry
Upscale Indian-Jaipur Grille
Middle Eastern-Tabule
Grano-Casual Italian including pizza
Vittorio's-Inexpensive Italian
Elizabeth's-Cheap Eastern European lunch place
Pub Grub-Bow & Arrow
LCBO store with good Vintages section
The above are all on Yonge from Davisville to Eglington.
We also just got an AMAZING gelato place on Mt. Pleasant, ask anybody here!
There are lots of great little shops in this 'hood to poke around in, plus you have easy access to more at Yonge/Eglington and you are a quick walk and subway ride to downtown or anywhere else in the city.
Added bonus: It's a clean, safe neighborhood that has a yuppie veneer but is actually quite diverse.
However the entry price for housing here can be steep, $599,000 is about as cheap as it gets...
oh chemfemme I feel for you! I'm a Montrealer who lived there from '95-'00.
I lived in the Roncesvalles/Queen W area and loved it- it's quite diverse, safe, and inexpensive. However, the neighborhoods are just not the same there in terms of diversity- Polish is Polish, Italian Italian, etc. You'll trek all over the city to satisfy the meals on your list.
I'd also check out the St. Clair West area, from Dufferin west it's a predominently Italian 'hood, but with some variety. The area around College St. east of Dufferin is a decent food mecca as well, but I do hear it's gone somewhat downhill, and is probably quite expensive in terms of housing now.
Most of all, I wish you luck. You'll be back. ;)
Hi chemfemme, welcome to TO. It's not all that bad, trust me. Could be worse, you could be forced to move to Brampton or Pickering :) Seriously consider Riverdale area. We live here and love it. My husband hails from Montreal also. We have some really good restos and pretty close to the St. Lawrence Market which would probably meet all of your needs. We still could use a good neighbourhood joint. we have many but they are not exactly places that I would visit regularly - I'm mean something like Brunoise - wish we had that here!! Def. check out Bonjour Brioche. We do have many wonderful spots but they are scattered around so need to drive or take transit. Let us know where you settle and you'll get tons of recommendations for that particular area.
I've lived in Toronto for the past quarter century. Spent the first half of that time in Corso Italia (St Clair west of Dufferin) - solid Italian restos and food stores, much more of a Latino presence now. The second half of my sojourn has been spent west of Bathurst between Bloor and College - much more diversity: Koreatown to the northeast, Little Italy/Portugal to the south/southwest, the old Chinatown and dilapidated but useful Kensington Market to the east. There is good food to be had. People are generally nice, even among the mad, dispossessed, hipper-than-thou and the money-bags. It's not dull, that's for sure.
I am trying to stay positive about the move, but the yuppie excess is a bit maddening - esp. when it comes to food. millygirl - Brunoise is our favourite place - affordable enough for a once every month meal, beautiful execution, seasonal we have never been disappointed. We want that place in Toronto.
The reason we love our Montreal neighbourhood so much is that there is a good mix of gentrification (I do not mean this in a perjorative way, only in that there are no longer drug deals on the corner) and old school. Food wise, there are newer interesting bakeries and charcuterie places as well as your stand-by IGA. There is less of a well-defined national gastronomy to our neighbourhood (we can get Portuguese chicken, coconut milk curry, churros and a good baguette in 5 minutes) Like C70 said, Toronto has more defined cultural neighbourhoods: Chinese, Italian, Polish etc.
If we live in Riverdale, can we walk to Little India, Chinatown East and/or Queen street E? Also, are the newer, creative tasty places closer to the Danforth or to Queen?
re: chemfemme
YES! Riverdale is the spot - you can walk to all those places from there, and even downtown if you think 5k isn't too far for a walk. I've lived in the Beach, Riverdale and now Leslieville for the past 10 years.
The newer, tasty places tend to be closer to Queen, although some of them are going through some growing pains. The Danforth has some great places as well, perhaps just a little less hip.
You will be close to the St. Lawrence Market, Riverdale Farmer's Market, Withrown Park Market, and the Brickworks on Saturdays.
No offence to Yonge/EgLINton people, but it is yuppy excess there. I'm not sure what you find diverse at Yonge/Eg, maybe the hired nannies?
Roncesvalles is quite a neat area as well, being in such close proximity to High Park, College St. etc.
I'd say Trinity Bellwoods, or a little north of there, can get you everything you need within a quick bike ride. Cheap Italian? Still a couple of decent traditional places left on College west of Grace. Portuguese chicken? A bunch of options on College, Dundas and Bloor. Farmer's Market? Dufferin Grove Park has one of the best. Cheese shop? La Fromagerie on College (too hoity toity for my taste), Harbord Bakery. Bakery? Bistro Bakery Thuet on King and Atelier Thuet in Liberty Village. Plus, a whole bunch of great neighbourhood places on Queen (Swan, Oyster Boy, Noce), Ossington (I Deal Coffee, Golden Turtle Vietnamese), Dundas (Saving Grace, Cafe Brasiliano, Musa), etc.
Actually I think the Lower Annex/Kensington Market may fit the bill.
The Portuguese neighbourhood is not far (west down Dundas/Bathurst/Queen) and neither is Little Italy (west of Bathurst on College). Kensington market is definitely decent for seasonal veggies/fruit (but it depends on your criteria, if you're looking for local then you'll have a hard time here). There are some cheese shops in Kensington as well, but the best in the 'hood would be Nancy's Cheese in Harbord Bakery (you would be killing two birds with one stone here). IMO, Harbord has the best challah in town, among other delectable goodies. I don't think it would let any Montrealer down (except perhaps with their bagels, which are not their stong point).
And as far as restos, there are many down Harbord and in Kensington that are getting great reviews; La Palette, Splendido for high end, Dessert Trends, 93 Harbord for high end middle eastern.
All of the places listed are within a 15-20 minute walk.
Hi Chemfemme, welcome to TO.
Honestly, your perception that there is only one type of food in each neighbourhood is a little off. Even in the the main chinatown - which I would say is the least diverse area in terms of food - is a mix of all types of chinese and other regional asian food including korean, vietnamese, etc. But of course it is mainly Chinese... what else would you expect from one of the biggest Chinatown's in the world?
That said, pretty much every other neighbourhood offers diverse fare, even if it has a speciality. Off the top of the head, Queen West (Trinity Bellwoods) has a great Malay restaurant in Kei's, some of the most crowd pleasing Italian handmade pizza/pasta spots in Terroni's, casual take out roti shops like Albert's and Ghandi, fresh oysters at Oyster Boy and Swan, foodie spots like Coca and the Rosebud. You are also a reasonable walk to the College Street Little Italy strip and to the historic Liberty Village 'hood which is the new home to Atelier Thuet - a fantastic artisan bakery, prepared food, rare cheese and charcuterie shop. http://www.atelierthuet.ca/
Riverdale offers similar options - walking distance to both the Danforth greektown area and the quickly expanding Queen Street East strip. Alex Farm cheesemongers on the Danforth, great brunches on Queen E. spots like Bonjour Brioche, beautiful new bars like the Comrade, wonderful homestyle italian at Seven Numbers and Gio Rana's Really Really Nice Restaurant, fusion cuisine at Barrio; and well regarded new restaurants including Globe Bistro and Citizen. Being on the east side of Yonge, you are also not too far from the amazing St Lawrence market - usually ranked as one of the best in the world - which offers all of your food needs including fresh baked bread, top notch produce, meats, fish, and everything else you could possibly think of. On Saturdays the market also expands across the street to include a local farmer's market with some great fresh produce and prepared foods. And I haven't even mentioned the smaller East end Chinatown that is also walking distance...
"Little Italy," while best known for the italian restaurants and summer patio scene, is also the home of portugeuse chicken take-aways (and the UNBELIEVABLE portugeuse high-end seafood resto Chiado), interesting Indian fusion at Xacutti, middle eastern at Pomegranate and Paaeez, etc...
If your worry was that you were going to have a hard time finding bagels that would rival those of your beautiful hometown I would have to agree. That said, I think you have some real misconceptions about what these great neighbourhoods have to offer and will likely be pleasantly surprised.
Again, welcome!
I'll put in another plug for the Little Italy/Kensington/Annex area. I've lived in the area for 9 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. We don't have or need a car. Kensington Market is a year-round food market with excellent meat, cheese, and produce shops, not to mention one really excellent bakery plus two others for backup. As estragon pointed out, there are a few authentic Italian places at the west end of Little Italy (a 10-15 minute walk from Kensington), not to mention some well established Portuguese chicken places. Harbord St. is a 10 minute walk from Kensington and 15 or so minutes from Little Italy. It's a small street but jam-packed with excellent restaurants, the last-of-a-dying breed Harbord Bakery and Dessert Trends, which has an award winning pastry chef. The houses in the Annex are largely Victorian and generally very beautiful. Little Italy also has some excellent homes and very well maintained streets.
Good luck. You'll soon see that there really is quite a lot to Toronto!
check out this thread recent thread and my post to it:
re: HarryLloyd
Would it be fair to say that if we lived in Trinity Bellwoods that we would be walkable (within 15-20 minutes) to: the Liberty Village Thuet mini-empire, Dufferin Grove farmer's mkt, good nibbles on Queen and Little Italy? If we lived a little to the west of T-B then could we also get to Roncy quickly?
I ask these questions because (sorry Riverdale) I have a mental block about crossing the DVP. However, if we lived in Riverdale I would be closer to Montreal...
I am taking a post at Ryerson university, so Riverdale is an easy commute however
re: chemfemme
Yes, correct on all accounts. Ryerson is approx halfway between T-B and Riverdale.
I'm assuming housing prices aren't an issue? If so, you should reconsider moving East, quickly.
re: chemfemme
I live in WQW. great hood. but if you are a walker and not a cycler you will want to be on the north side of the park and maybe a little west. As liberty village is fairly barren for hounds right now, but north adds koreatown, annex, maybe even yorkville. And taking you a little more west gives you walking access to roncey and maybe even highpark/bloor west village. Where as a little east will just add downtown to the already accessable Kensington and Chinatown.
Although you will lose SLM, I would say the intersection to centre your search on would be college & ossington.
re: HarryLloyd
I used to live at College and Ossington and totally loved it. Fantastic Portuguese, some great Italian places, 15 min walk down to Queen Street... Apparently there is also a new cheese shop around there which sells bread from Pain Perdu (can someone confirm this for me; it must have opened after I left). The only thing I didn't like is the summer bar scene on College, makes the neighborhood a little less quaint.
re: chemfemme
do you have bikes? if so, get a basket and the world is your oyster. toronto is an extremely bikeable city minus the crazy drivers who aren't fond of you. thuet does excellent bread and will be your best choice for baked goods (minus the croissants... my god i think he applies the same theory to bread for croissants these days)
trinity (east west) is also where the real little italy fun begins in my opinion. same with little portugal and i've really grown to love what roncy offers.
now, at least this is my opinion, i really think you may need to let go of this farmer's market idea. i have never found dufferin grove to be adequate. each vendor seems to sell a specific product and hauls it in with temporary stalls. diversity and competitive pricing doesn't tend to happen at this local/organic market. st lawrence north on saturdays has been a much better bet but i've been meaning to go to the riverdale market to see if it's any better. toronto has nothing on jean talon and you may just have to accept that. trinity bellwoods did start theirs for the first time this year and it may improve and has room to improve drastically.
re: pinstripeprincess
Definitely agree with pinstripeprincess about the Farmer's Market issue. I get a weird vibe from Dufferin Grove Market. If you end up in the west end, the one at Liberty Village is more competitive and nicely arranged. And City Hall or Metro Square on Wed and Thursday mornings respectively tend to be my choices for produce.
re: chemfemme
i live on dovercourt rd, just west of trinity bellwoods, and in between queen and dundas. the dundas streetcar is very reliable and gets you straight to ryerson in about 25 minutes (takes me 20 minutes to get to the bay street terminal on route to my job). if you live anywhere near the dundas street car line you will be fine getting to ryerson fairly quickly (even though the line goes through chinatown - it really only is a problem on weekends). so no real reason to cross the DVP:). yes you are walking distance to all of the areas you mention (i visit them all the time from my location), and you can get to ronces through parkdale which has its own food gems and is a nice neighbourhood with a decidedly working class feel (probably the most diverse neighbourhood of residents as well as businesses). some good and inexpensive options in parkdale: ali's for trinidadian, tibet kitchen for momos and other tibetan goodies, mitzie's and mitzie's sister for good brunch and pub food respectively, poor john's cafe and easy for lunches, snacks and coffee and many others, along with carribean and asian shops for groceries.
in addition, ossington between dundas and queen has a number of good food and drink options, as does dundas street between ossington and bathurst.
the only real gap in the area (Trinity-Bellwoods and environs) is fish. i find the fish shops on ossington and dundas unsanitary (the huge fly zapper and dead flies on the fish in the store on the west side is particularly disgusting), but i haven't tried all the shops on dundas itself so maybe there are some good options. for that i make a trek to st.lawrence market (or to dufferin grove for excellent fresh trout).
not sure if this is relevant but this area is also well serviced by auto share, if you need a car occasionally.
I have heard about Clafouti as well, and I think I could get behind it! Is it the Trin-Bellwoods version of Bonjour Brioche? Which is better?
re: chemfemme
My only criticism of Clafouti: lousy coffee. You have to get your pastry there, your coffee at Starbucks, and sit in the park.
re: estragon
It's not very hot, either!
re: thenurse
Are there any Illy or Segafreddo coffee places nearby? Or do I have to go to College to get Italian coffee?
re: chemfemme
I buy coffee at work - downtown (I work at Victoria and Dundas - yes, Ryerson campus) B Espresso Cafe at Queen and Mutual has Illy coffee - and I'm sure dozens of other places, but I'm far from a connoiseur. I would suggest starting a new thread.
HOWEVER, Dark Horse (South Riverdale/Riverside) has been getting rave reviews about it's coffee/espresso, but I don't think it's either of the ones mentioned (probably fair trade from Merchants of Green).
Not my area of expertise - sorry!
re: chemfemme
to the west, Ideal Coffee on Ossington makes good espresso based coffees, at dundas west of bathurst is cafe braziliano - a little like caffee italia on st. laurent but with food (veal sandwiches etc) and more diverse clientele (it is a favourite of cab drivers due to the great value 'plates'), and further west on queen i go to beaver cafe. also terroni on queen makes a decent espresso and i've often enjoyed sitting at its bar with just a coffee and a newspaper. there are others, these are just my favourite spots - no need to go to starbucks!
re: chemfemme
I Deal on Ossington roast their own (at their other location in Kensington Market). It's fantastic - the best I've had in Toronto. Cafe Brasiliano on Dundas is also pretty good -- run by Italians. I think they also roast their own, but I'm not sure.
re: chemfemme
Bonjour Brioche is better, but far busier. Clafouti has about 3 sit-down tables and pre-made sandwiches. Bonjour Brioche is a cafe/restaurant... bigger, better, with a patio.
re: thenurse
Nurse - are you on the faculty at Ryerson? Should we make a lunch date? What good eats are there near campus?
re: chemfemme
No, I don't work for Ryerson, but for some strange reason my office building is on the fringe of the campus. I'd be happy to introduce you to some lunch spots around her, including: Senator Diner, Terroni (good espresso as mentioned above), Salad King, Coconut Grove, Trinity Cafe - and more.
re: chemfemme
clafouti for a croissant is just awful in my opinion. i don't crave pastry the way i used to and have forgoed their other offerings. and t-b version of bonjour brioche.. for sure if you're talking about their bad service!
illy and segafreddo are actually pretty rampant around the city. at one point i began thinking i had to look for it but it's everywhere in one form or another. in fact, i thought clafouti or some nearby shop had segafreddo.
re: pinstripeprincess
psp - where do you go for pastries if you don't like Bonjour Brioche or Clafouti?
re: chemfemme
bonjour brioche is just chaotic and impossible so i never make the attempt since i'm on the west end, it just wasn't good enough to make the trek. clafouti has been bordering supermarket quality to me and has never had a remotely crisp outer shell... just to add some context.
if i had a car, i go to cigogne up in the "midtown" area along bayview near leaside. many others opt for rahier in the area but i love cigogne with a passion because they hit my perfect sweet, salty, buttery, crisp and chewy proportions.
if i were to make croissants at home... get out at royal york station and get some frozen ones (need a two day lead time, no phone number) at st honore and bake them to your perfect consistency at home. these things are so packed with butter you can see large dabs of it sitting below the surface. puff up beautifully. their ready made ones need a little coaxing in the oven to melt the rest of the butter and actually last ont he counter for a couple of days. coincidentally, they're both alsatian and have a certain shop charm although wildly on either sides of the spectrum.
this is after visits to approximately 17 bakeries around town that do their own croissants, i can't speak about the rest of what they do yet... and of course to my own personal tastes.
re: pinstripeprincess
My folks used to live at Royal York and I know St Honore well - we have never made the croissants at home tho' - we might have to try. Does Thuet do croissants? Isn't he Alsatian?
re: chemfemme
i was going to add in something about that... but i mentioned it before.. love his bread but for the life of him he can't seem to get the croissant quite right although he definitely has tried. it always just seems not buttery enough, lacking moisture.. bready to be more precise. since he shrunk them they're better but i still don't quite enjoy them as much as the others.
the frozen ones are just about as expensive as the baked ones (he may throw in a couple extra for kicks) but there's nothing like rolling out of bed, popping proofed croissants into the oven and letting the buttery goodness waft through the entire place while sipping my french press coffee.
re: chemfemme
Thuet does bread shaped like croissants.
I believe clafouti used to sell illy but now carry balzacs.
for excellent scones check out bernate but avoid "their" croissants.
also if you end up near college & ossington you are a very short walk to california sandwiches, kim bo for the best vietnamese in town, phils (our "best" bbq), lalibela for some of the best ethiopean, fiesta farms which is a pretty good grocery store, utopia for sandwiches, and so much more.
i love toronto, but we do fall way behind montreal in legal contact bars.
re: pinstripeprincess
Wow - you can get good frozen croissants in Toronto? We've been bringing them from Montreal for the last few years, but we're running out, and it may be just the right time to try a place in Toronto. But you say you can't just walk in and buy them? And you can't place a phone order?
re: estragon
no, the guy is seriously high on himself. he won't tell any of his workers what the prices are if they're not already marked. he will also attempt to sell you in mass quantities for reduced prices all his stock. my boyfriend laughed in the background as i experienced this the first time i ordered frozen croissants and magically had 3 danishes and some short baguettes (handed over with a wink) in my hands and on the bill.
when you go in he'll ask you how much you want and when you want it. anything shorter than 2 days will get you a laugh in response. since it's practically right outside the ttc station, it's pretty easy for me to drop in.
re: pinstripeprincess
That sounds exactly like him - I used to joke with my mother that he's closed more frequently than he is open. He's very French about his business, as in, making money and serving his clientele is lower on the priority list than, say, taking the mandatory month-long August holiday.
chemfemme, I was in your position 8 years ago (well minus the child and the wear with all to buy a house). I was not at all interested in living in Toronto and was 'just coming for a good contract'. I've lived in a few different areas of Toronto. We're now living in the dreaded Bloor West Village (where we could afford to buy a house) and have plenty of tomatoes just about ready to ripen.
I would suggest that you stick between Trinity Bellwoods and Roncesvalles. I lived on Strachan, just down the street from the park, and while I really loved the area, our apt was disgusting. Housing is far more expensive here than in Roncesvalles. Also, there is a very neighbourhood, kid friendly feel to Roncesvalles that you won't necessarily find near TBP. The park itself is one of the best things about Toronto IMO - and honestly, I miss it more than the food in the neighbourhood (but I miss that too!). Being a Montrealer, I'm sure you're a biker - the trend is picking up more and more in Toronto and TB is a great neighbourhood for biking (and bike theft). Kensington is 5 minutes away by bike, Dufferin Grove about the same distance in the opposite direction. There's a good selection of every day restaurants around (I certainly couldn't afford to eat at Susar once a month...): Terroni on Queen (Pizza), Utopia on College (really great burritos etc inexpensive), San on Queen (Korean), Sugar on Queen (although this can be a little pricier), The Crooked Star on Ossington, The Communists Daughter on Dundas, Saving Grace on Dundas, Oyster Boy and Swan on Queen (both a little bit expensive), The Foggy Dew on King, Niagara St Cafe...and the list goes on. It's a good walking neighbourhood for little groceries too - Sanko for Japanese and the Spice Trader has some good spices, Square Fruit can be surprisingly good in a pinch too.
Got to cut this short as a work is now calling... to be brief, I lived in the TB neigbourhood so know it better than Roncesvalles, but I really think that Roncesvalles has tonnes to offer and might be a better place with children. Also, you can find a house, with a backyard for a lot less. TB still has a lot of prostitution and drug deals happening (on what used to be my driveway!)...
You will fall in love with Toronto. It will take a while, but you will. You just have to look harder here.
Good luck with the move.

Lions' Nate Burleson says recovery ahead of schedule
Kevin Patra – NFL.com
Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson is ahead of schedule as he heals from a season-ending broken leg injury suffered in 2012.
The 31-year-old dropped by "NFL AM" on Monday to break down receivers in Thursday's 2013 NFL Draft and said he recently got the good news.
"The great news is I'm healed up," Burleson said. "I just got news from my doctors that the bone is good. I'm running and jumping three months ahead of schedule."
NFL Draft: Lions can address glaring need at OT, DE or perhaps CB with No. 5 pick
Larry Lage – The Associated Press
Martin Mayhew wasn't giving away any hints.
The general manager of the Detroit Lions Martin Mayhew coyly declined to discuss the franchise's needs and how they might affect who he chooses with the No. 5 pick in Thursday night's NFL draft.
Lions Draft: Before The Snap
This Thursday, the WXYZ sports team will present our third annual Lions Draft: Before The Snap special.
WXYZ Sports Director Tom Leyden and former Lions tight end Rob Rubick will host the program from the 7 Studio, with analysts and reporters positioned in all the key spots to get you ready for Thursday night's NFL Draft.
NFL Draft: SMU's Margus Hunt on track to greatness
Dave Birkett – Detroit Free Press
His feats in the weight room were legendary, a 6-foot-8 track star who could snatch 320 pounds and power clean a small car.
Every time football players saw Margus Hunt work out, they told the big Estonian he should switch sports, as if he had one to begin with.
A world junior champion in the shot put and discus, Hunt came to SMU in January of 2008 to train with legendary track coach Dave Wollman in the hope that the Mustangs would revive the men's program that had been discontinued a few years earlier.

Nabokov's Diagrams/ The Myth of Vera
If you haven't read this yet,do it now. It will make you happy.
" On September1, 1942, The Nabokovs moved to Cambridge… at 8 Craigie Circle, apartment 35, a dingy little third-floor flat in a four story brick apartment house at the end of a cul de sac. They would live here for almost another six years… In this two bedroom apartment, Vera and Dmitri shared one bedroom while Nabokov had the other, where he would write late into the night…under an ' old lady with feet of stone and above a young woman with hypersensitive hearing'… One hundred dollars worth of secondhand furniture was all they needed to deck out the apartment…Their friend Wilma Kirby Miller and everyone close to them at the time - and everyone close to them says much the same- ' I never knew any family who cared less about possessions, food, anything. Their only luxury was Dmitri.'- who had expensive toys and went to some of the most prestigious private schools in New England.
Sometimes part of the school fees would be paid off by Vera's giving lessons or working as secretary at Harvard but as a rule she had quite enough work as housekeeper and mother and in typing up the pages her husband had left o the floor after the previous nights' composition. Wilma Kerby Miller called her a "one- man woman she worked with him, helped him, it was her great interest in life. She married a genius, and saw that he had every opportunity." Harry and Elena Levin too were struck by Vera's certainty that her husband was the greatest living writer, and the support she afforded him with her business sense, her secretarial skills, her meticulous compilation of reviews, her sheer conviction and dedication."- Brian Boyd, 'Vladimir Nabokov; The American Years'
"From the start I knew that Mrs. Nabokov was the worst kind of subject: She was formal, she was stoic, she was private, selfless and capable of self-dramatization — all the qualities on which biography tends to founder."…
Although a "no trespassing" sign seemed to loom over the life of Vèra Slonim Nabokov (1902-91), Schiff ignored it. "Vèra lived by myths: She never contributed to Vladimir Nabokov's work, she was never worried about the publication of 'Lolita,' never felt destitute when the family had no money, never raised her voice when her husband told her he was in the midst of an affair. All of these statements were false." - Stacy Schiff, author of 'Vèra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov)'

Mozilla, Google extend 'sweethearts' browser deal for 3 years
Mozilla has extended its revenue deal with Google for another three years, following some will-they-won't-they speculation about the future of that "sweethearts" partnership. Interestingly, the contract renewal comes just weeks after Google's Chrome browser gently brushed past Mozilla's Firefox to become the world's second- …
Well, when Google first negotiated the deal Firefox has around 25%. Now they still have ~25% but Chrome has ~25%. It's all good news for Google really... they're now the default search engine on over 50% of desktop systems and pretty much all mobile devices.
@Tim 15
Exactly my thoughts.
Could be an anti-monopoly tactic
Given the crap the MS got into with IE, funding an alternative browser - whilst still benefiting from it - is a very sensible strategy.
Chrome popularity irrelevant
The popularity of Chrome makes no difference to this deal, only the popularity of Firefox has some bearing on it (i.e. how many browsers / eyes have Google as their default search engine).
Google toolbar?
Does this mean Google will support the toolbar on Firefox again? Hasn't been working since about v6 AFAICR.

seo problem
i am using google adwords for my wix site but i have problems with seo. when someone clicks on any page of my website, the web address does not change to show the web page address. for example if someone clicks on contact us page, the web address stays as www.domesticcleanersberkshire.co.uk rather than www.domesticcleanersberkshire.co.uk/contactus.html . this affects the quality of the landing page.
is there any way i can tackle this issue?

Hi @i32685
Please note that your Wix HTML5 website is built using HTML5 and AJAX technology. This has many benefits, such as animations on your page transitions, the ability to have your background, header and footer stay static while only the content changes, the ability to use all of the new HTML features as they are released, dynamic page sizing, optimization for mobile devices, etc.
To support using this technology, the URL's of your website need to be built in the following manner:
Important Note: In order to share links to your site you must use the full link above (1-4) including the Page ID. Removing the Page ID will yield an invalid link.

while i understand what you saying but my question is how i can create this? in my case when i click on any sub page, the full url with the page address does not appear , its only the main address of the website which comes.
Reply from Ben | October 18, 2012
Please note that you need to copy the URL from the address bar when viewing the Page to which you want to link.
For example, your 'End of Tenancy Cleaning' Page connects at http://www.domesticcleanersberkshire.co.uk/#!endoftenancycleaning/c21u
Please be sure to copy the URL from the address bar when viewing the desired Page.Ben - Wix Support

2014 Saratoga Race Course Upgrades
Years ago the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY, was a closed unconnected property, no telephones in public areas, no TV, no connections to the outside world were allowed while the races took place.
The times they are a changing albeit it slowly, at all three New York race tracks, Belmont, Aqueduct and our favorite, Saratoga, in beautiful Saratoga Springs, NY.
Saratoga Springs Race Track :: Seating Options
It is no secret that the Saratoga horse racing is the busiest time of year and this Saratoga Springs hotel prides itself on offering guests a true Saratoga experience. Saratoga Springs is home to the oldest race course in North America, that celebrated 150 years in 2013.
With a rare exception, a racing season reservation at Saratoga Arms includes plans for at least one visit to the race track. Track knowledge can range from "There's a race track in Saratoga????" to the enthusiast who knows the inside way to get to the coveted box seats. Most lie somewhere in between.
We get many calls from "first-timers" looking to take part in the racing experience and they have lots of questions
2014 Saratoga Beer Week
Let's cheer for Beer!
Beer is the most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and is the third most popular drink consumed worldwide, right behind water and tea. Some would argue it is the oldest fermented beverage dating back to 9500 bc. According to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia "Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the saccharification of starch and fermentation of the resulting sugar. The starch and saccharification enzymes are often derived from malted cereal grains, most commonly malted barley and malted wheat." I guess there are folks who care about the process, but I would wager more care about the result. Saratoga Beer Week in Saratoga Springs, NY, February 18-22, 2014 will honor all things beer from the brewing process to the imbibing ritual.
2014 Saratoga Springs Dance Flurry
In the bleak mid winter month of February in downtown Saratoga Springs, there is little to look forward to except cold, snow, ice, more cold and more snow…but there is one bright spot… One weekend every February The Dance Flurry comes to town and the town takes on a beat that makes your toes tap and your heart sing. Our Saratoga Springs hotel becomes a temporary home to dance enthusiasts and music aficionados from far and wide.
Things to do during Saratoga Winterfest
Winterfest is an esoteric term that appears to describe any activity or group of events that take place in the dead of winter. Even Wikipedia, the free online, publicly edited encyclopedia, defines it as "Winterfest is the name of several winter festivals held in various locations in the United States" In short, it is a winter celebration or a celebration of winter.
Winterfest is clearly meant to chase away the Winter Blues…Blahs…or Cabin Fever.
Victorian Streetwalk in Saratoga Springs on December 5th
While "frightful" weather may be on the way, there is a "delightful" reason to be out and about on the evening of December 5 while staying in our downtown Saratoga Springs Hotel. That date marks the 27th annual Victorian Streetwalk in downtown Saratoga Springs– a truly unique event being put on by the Downtown Business Association and a fun way to celebrate the holiday season in Saratoga Springs.
Saratoga Wine and Food Festival – September 6-9, 2013
Whether or not you joined–or are planning to join–us at our Saratoga Springs hotel this summer for what has been a fabulous season of racing, you can already begin planning your next visit. Cap off summer in style by attending the Saratoga Wine and Food Festival and Concours d'Elegance: a three-day event that is quickly becoming known as the most original and exciting Wine and Food Festival north of New York City.
With events taking place Friday, September 6th through Sunday, September 8th, nearly 6,000 attendees from Montreal to Northern New Jersey will visit Saratoga Spa State Park (a 2,400 acre park preserve) to experience over 200 premiere wine and food exhibitors, collectors' Italian-luxury vehicles, and one-of-a-kind seminars.
A Saratoga Springs Floral Fete
And they're off!! The 150th season of racing is officially under way and the celebration in Saratoga Springs is heating up. Coming up on August 2nd will be a Saratoga 150 event not to miss…the Floral Fete Promenade and Congress Park Ice Cream Social.
Hikes around Saratoga Springs – Buck Mountain (Part 4 of 4)
Saratoga Arms' evening front desk manager, Jeff Apple, is an avid hiker. On his days off, he is usually on top of a mountain…far, far away from cell phone coverage. Jeff has offered to share 4 blog posts of great hikes in and around our Saratoga Springs, NY hotel. Written in a four part series, Jeff will discuss the hikes, beginning with the easiest and ending with the most challenging. The first installment was Geyser Creek Trail, which is 2 miles from Saratoga Arms. His 2nd post featured a beautiful hike in the Lake George Area at Sleeping Beauty. His 3rd installment is a favorite of our guests, Hadley Mountain. For the fourth and final installment, enter Jeff and Buck Mountain…

The Dangers of Eating Chicken Nuggets! How Can You Tell You're Eating Real Chicken? And Is It Safe to Eat?
Story at-a-glance
- KFC recently rolled out Original Recipe boneless chicken, and is considering eliminating on-the-bone chicken from its menu altogether. Regardless of brand, processed chicken nuggets or shaped boneless "wings" are far more likely to contain less meat and more additives and fillers
- Scientists have been working on bioengineering "cultured" lab-grown meat for the past decade, and are getting closer to perfecting the process. Normalizing the idea that chicken doesn't have bones will make it easier to eventually exchange the meat used in processed nuggets and boneless wings for bioengineered meat, without anyone noticing the difference
- Recently published data from tests conducted on supermarket meat samples reveals the presence of several disease-causing bacteria, including the super-hardy antibiotic-resistant versions of salmonella, Campylobacter and E. coli on virtually all types of store bought meats
- The misuse of antibiotics in livestock has become a direct source of foodborne illness. The best way to avoid contaminated meat is to avoid meat from animals raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's), aka "factory farms," and buying organic, pastured or grass-fed meats instead. Organic standards do not permit growth promoters such as antibiotics to be used

RACINE, — SC Johnson has surpassed its voluntary goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As a charter member of the Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders program, SC Johnson committed to reduce its GHG emissions per pound of product by 23% from 2000 to 2005; by 2005 SC Johnson had reduced its GHGs by 24%. In addition the company doubled its commitment of an 8% absolute reduction of CO2 emissions by reaching the 16% mark.
"SC Johnson made this commitment to reduce GHG emissions because it's right for our business, right for our community and right for the environment," said Scott Johnson, SC Johnson Vice President of Global Environmental and Safety Actions. "This accomplishment marks the continuation of our longstanding commitment to environmental leadership."
The U.S. EPA has recognized SC Johnson as one of the first corporations to achieve its voluntary greenhouse gas reduction goals set through the EPA's Climate Leaders program.
Launched in 2002, SC Johnson was the first consumer products company to be a charter member of the voluntary Climate Leaders program. The voluntary government/industry partnership challenges businesses to develop a comprehensive GHG emissions inventory for their activities and then to set aggressive, long-term emissions reduction goals.
"By achieving their greenhouse gas reduction goals, these leading companies are proving that doing what is good for the environment, is also good for business," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "EPA is working hand-in-hand with business to voluntarily reduce their climate footprints in cost-effective ways."
SC Johnson significantly reduced its GHG emissions thru the use of two gas turbine/ generators installed at the company's Waxdale manufacturing facility near Racine, Wisc. SC Johnson embarked on the co-generation plan in 2003 with the start up of the first turbine, which produces 3,200 kilowatts of electricity and 19,000 pounds of steam per hour, using only landfill gas. After its first year of operation, Waxdale's emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases dropped more than 25% and fossil fuel energy use was slashed by nearly 50%.
With the completion of the second turbine in 2005, SC Johnson reduced greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 20,000 tons per year, bringing total emissions reductions from the co-generation system to 52,000 tons per year. That's equivalent to the amount of GHGs generated by 5,200 automobiles annually.
The second turbine, which uses a mixture of natural gas and landfill gas, also generates 3,200 kilowatts of electricity and 19,000 pounds of steam per hour. Together, the turbines generate the daily base load of electricity for the Waxdale site and generate anywhere from approximately half to all of the steam needed for operations, depending on the season.
SC Johnson is the first consumer goods packaging plant in the Midwest to produce nearly all of its own energy through clean-burning technologies. The twin turbines are fueled by natural gas and by waste methane generated by the Kestrel Hawk Landfill located near the Waxdale facility. As a result, the turbines have significantly reduced SC Johnson's usage of heavily-coal dependent electricity and reduced the emissions of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

Social Work
Social Work at the Brantford Campus
The Faculty of Social Work believes that social work's unique perspective is its focus on persons in environments. It is understood that the interaction of political, economic, social and interpersonal forces generate differences in the ability of people to participate fully in society. Those who are vulnerable to being disadvantaged by such differences as class, race, gender, age and ability are of particular concern to the field of social work. Social work attempts to facilitate people's full participation in society through advocating for structural change and through facilitating change in individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations. Thus, social work is concerned with individual and family problems, along with broader social issues such as poverty.
Laurier's four year Honours BSW program aims to educate students for generalist practice in Canada. Unique to Laurier, this program offers a unique focus on Aboriginal issues and includes an examination of the cultural exchanges between Canada's colonial processes and First Nations people. Our Brantford campus, located a mere 15 minutes from the Six Nations and New Credit reserves, is an ideal location to bring together traditional and Aboriginal communities, respecting the diversity and cultural integrity of each.
All students studying at the Brantford campus take courses from the Brantford Foundations core curriculum. This allows BSW students to develop critical thinking skills in humanities, arts and science courses and learn theories for professional practice in social work courses. They will be able to develop specific knowledge and critical understanding of key professional social work concepts, practice theories and methods and learn where intersections of social work occur with fields such as Criminology, Psychology, Human Rights, Health Studies, and so forth.
Program Highlights
- Field placement in third and fourth year: this will assist students to learn through experience while providing pre-professional service in the community.
Admission Requirements
|High School Admission Requirements
|College Grad Admission Requirements
Average in top 6 4U or M courses of mid-high 70's
|The BSW program will only be accepting students from Social Service Worker & Child and Youth Worker programs for September 2015. Click here for details
The Social Work faculty recognizes that social work knowledge and skills are constantly evolving. Graduates with a BSW degree will be able to think critically, reflect on experiences, reason effectively and be creative when dealing with new and novel situations. Graduates will be prepared for professional social work practice in a variety of fields, including social welfare, mental health, family and children's services, social policy and planning, and community development. In line with the norm for new BSW programs, our BSW program plans to apply for pre-accreditation with the Canadian Association of Social Work Education (CASWE) in 2015 and then for the First Accreditation in 2017 or 2018. For those who may graduate from the program before the first CASWE accreditation, as long as the program has achieved pre-accreditation, the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) generally accepts as 'accredited' students who graduate from a pre-accredited program.

NVDAILY.COM | Living Well - A Virginia Cooperative Extension Blog
Posted September 21, 2009 | Leave a comment
Preparedness starts today!
A hurricane ... a flood ... a fire ... a tornado ... a flu pandemic ... a terrorist attack. What do these disasters have in common? Whether the disaster occurs naturally or is caused by human actions, many families are not prepared to "weather the storm." During National Preparedness Month (September), emergency officials have a question for you - Are you ready?
At www.ready.gov, you'll see the basic preparedness steps: Get a kit, Make a plan, be informed. But perhaps you need a little more motivation to get you moving. So, take a few minutes with me to ask yourself some questions about your own family's level of preparedness.
If a disaster knocked the power out, could you get information from emergency officials? You would need to have a battery-powered radio to hear reports through the Emergency Broadcast System.
If your family had to stay home for a few days or weeks, could you provide for your basic necessities? You would need a gallon of water per person per day. That amounts to 56 gallons for a family of four to have a two-week supply. You should also have enough non-perishable food on hand to keep your family healthy.
If the phone lines and cell towers were out during a disaster, would you and your family have another way to contact each other? Having an out-of-state check-in contact might be a way to get messages to each other. (During a disaster it is often easier to call long distance than within a disaster-stricken area.)
If you were asked to evacuate, would you have a disaster supply kit ready to take with you? Your kit should contain a battery powered radio and flashlight with extra batteries, a three-day supply of water and non-perishable food, a first aid kit, tools and supplies, clothing and bedding, and special items.
If something prevented family members from getting back home, would you and your family know how to find each other? Choose a meeting place outside your neighborhood, so that the members of your family will know where to meet if it is impossible to go home.
If you needed to relocate temporarily, would you have copies of important documents to help establish your family in a new location? Having copies of identification, insurance papers, health history, and other important documents can make it easier to cope with the effects of a disaster. These documents should be in a secure location such as a locked box or password protected electronic files.
There are many more scenarios I could name that could affect your family. But fortunately, the same three steps will help you cope with any disaster that might occur:
For many people, step one seems to be the most difficult. But preparing a disaster supply kit doesn't have to be overwhelming or expensive. Start today by finding a simple cardboard box and putting a flashlight with extra batteries inside. Tomorrow, add a battery powered radio with extra batteries. The next time you go to the store buy an extra package of bottled water along with a non-perishable food item and add it to the box. When you decide to buy a new throw for your couch because the old one is looking tattered, add the old one to the box ...
Little by little, you will become better able to provide for your family in the event of a disaster. Even if you can add only a few things to your box, you will be more prepared tomorrow than you were yesterday. The key is to start today!
To learn more about family disaster preparedness, request our workshop, "Your Family Disaster Plan," for your local group or organization.

Horrible product. Horrible mistake to buy. I got Flame, which is a lovely coral in the tube and a flaming pink on my lips. I also got Forbidden, which is a nice browny-red. They don't apply well, they don't last worth a darn, and although I've only used them a few times the balm end has already fallen off the applicator tube. Huge waste of money, maybe even worse than Cover Girl's Outlast lip stain.
I bought the version that is "lipstain + balm." I got it in the color Flame and was sorry to see that although the packaging led me to believe this would be a neutral red, instead it looks like hot pink on my lips. The stain is difficult to apply evenly. I like the lipbalm part, it does moisturize pretty well. Just too bad the color was so misleading.

This is gross it goes everywhere and the color sucks. It dries out your lips too.
Run away as fast as you can from this product. You would get a better result from liquified jell-o powder and definitely a better taste. Or better yet....stain your lips with a cherry popsicle--it's much less messy. Ew...ew....capital EW!
First of all, why all the extra plastic packaging, Revlon??
Once you mangle open the hard plastic box it come in, you're in for another treat: this stuff doesn't go on smoothly from the rollerball applicator, if you swirl the ball around your finger you can see that it picks up uneven amounts of juice and deposits it willy nilly on your lips. You end up having to smooth it on your lips with your finger, then after an hour or so, you'll look like someone beat you: parts of your mouth all red and sultry, parts bare. Even worse, it dries my lips terribly, so the next day they're peeling. Ugh. A nightmare.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The one difficulty I have with this is that it's supposed to taste like berry, I guess, but it just tastes kind of weird, and chemical-y. I also feel it makes my lips look thin because the color goes on kind of dark, and it looks really dramatic on me because I'm pale, but that's not really the fault of the lip stain.
I got this in Blood Orange. I really love this color on me. But as someone else said, you have to have smooth lips for this. I also had to put it on with my finger and then finger is stained. I would love to buy this color in a gloss or lip stick
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i picked this up for $5 after some 50% off deal. being a lip stain user i found this to be quite a steal compared to the stila rouge or benetint. It does the job for me when i wear under some gloss and it lasts so that my lips have some color even if the gloss goes away
this product was terrible. i brought it in blood orange and found it to be so bad. it doesnt go on nicely and you have to use your finger to rub it in, which leaves it orange!!! i got it on special so i didnt have to pay too much but this was so bad. i thought it would be so good! wold not buy again and have only used my lip stain once.
I bought this in Cherry Tart and I really like it. It is a very rich, blood red. It can be tricky to apply using the rollerball applicator...I use a disposable eyeshadow applicator to even it out and that works for me. It's not something I would wear every day, but it's nice once in a while and it lasts all day for me.

Denard Robinson - who spent his college years playing quarterback for the University of Michigan - was certainly one of the more interesting prospects in the 2013 NFL Draft. Despite the fact that no scouts believed he had the skill set to play quarterback in the pros, Robinson possesses rare athletic ability that drew the interest of NFL teams. Though he had to wait until the fifth round to hear his name called, Robinson was eventually selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 135th overall pick.
How the Jaguars would use Robinson remained a question once the draft had concluded. Everyone knows he won't be a quarterback, but what is the best way to utilize his open field ability? Robinson gave wide receiver a try at the Senior Bowl, but struggled mightily in the attempted transition. Former Cowboys VP of player personnel Gil Brandt said he would draft Robinson and convert him to cornerback. What the Jaguars have settled on, however, appears to be a versatile running back position.
The Jaguars have referred to Robinson as a running back on their team's website, and he lined up at both running back and receiver during rookie minicamp, where he was reportedly impressive at both positions.
Despite playing strictly quarterback during his time at Michigan, the Jaguars apparently expect Robinson to make an immediate impact in his new role. General manager David Caldwell said in a radio interview on Tuesday that the plan is to get Robinson 10-15 touches per game. While that number may be a bit ambitious (especially if Maurice Jones-Drew returns fully healthy from foot surgery), Caldwell's comment is a testament to how the team feels about Robinson's ability.
His primary role will likely be as the change-of-pace back behind Jones-Drew, but the Jaguars also hope to stick Robinson in the slot once in a while. Caldwell said that, in addition to the 10-15 touches, they would like to have him return kicks.
In my opinion, Robinson will find his greatest success when the team is able to get him in open space. At Michigan, Robinson often had his best runs when he had room to move around, and could set up blockers and weave through the defense. He was not as much of a "hit the hole hard" type runner. As a result, I expect the Jaguars to use him on a lot of outside running plays, screen passes out of the backfield, and short routes out of the slot (bubble screens, as well as bench and drag routes). His skill set also bodes well for his success in the return game. The Jaguars obviously hope that he can develop some inside running ability as well, but that is likely to take some more time.
As far as fifth-round draft picks go, it seems like Robinson will have a real chance to make the biggest impact of this year's rookies. Considering Jones-Drew is coming off a serious foot injury, Robinson may be worth grabbing as a flier in the final rounds of fantasy drafts, particularly for those who roll the dice on MJD early on. Robinson will also be an intriguing prospect in dynasty leagues.
A lot of people are curious as to how Robinson will fare in the NFL, and it appears that we will find out early on in his career. If the Jaguars use him in a way that best utilizes his skill set, I think he has a solid chance to become a viable contributor in the NFL.

Face Front, Dark Knight!
This is pretty funny. Could be funnier, but I like the basic premise: "The Avengers" (channeling Stan Lee) equals fun; "The Dark Knight" (channeling Frank Miller) not so much:
You could include James Bond in the mix now, too. He's gone Dark Knight on us.

Superman vs. Batman: Last Word
"The appeal of flight. I mean … Batman's got a cool car. But flight is what really captures people's imaginations. To take two or three running steps and to soar into the air. That's everybody's dream."

Supergirl Can't Get a Date
One of the things I came across while doing internet research for my review of "Supergirl" (1984) was this cover from Feb. 1973:
It's a perfect example of why Supergirl never took off as a character. It's the third issue of her own pub. Is she fighting supervillains? No. She's crying. She's alone. Because she's not with the cool, handsome people inside. It's the cover of a "Young Love" comic. (I think I wound up owning that couch, btw, circa 1995.)
I like the cat licking her hand. It's her only comfort. She's a cat lady in the making. I like the self-pity and passivity inherent in Supergirl's thought balloon.
Then there's the costume. As feminism gained strength, DC Comics responded by cutting Supergirl's blouse lower and taking away her skirt for hot pants. Someone cue James Brown. Please please please.

Love this:
Came to me by way of my friend Erika, who got it via George Takei, who apparently got it from a fan. It's the quick version of why the ending to "Iron Man" was so refreshing.

After some thought, I didn't care for my labels so I changed them. I made the borders less bold. I changed the city labels placed in small rectangles and smaller size, so I can later add mountain and river labels to accommodate the gazetteer information. I needed more room. The red city markers are castle towns, while the white markers are smaller towns. I added major roads on this map.
I didn't get to Yonshu and Genshu yet, as promised, but I had an exhausting last three days of work and working long evening hours on the map was too much for me. I should get some work done this weekend though.

Ross Lee
It is the infantile, oddly macabre quality of Lee's stage shows that makes them terribly watchable. A striking figure: skinny and slight and akin to a camp Yorkshire Johnny Rotten in both manner and dress sense. He performs his shows with equal amounts of amiability and gusto and with a healthy dollop of the unearthly thrown in. Incredibly funny, odd and beguiling to watch.
Ross Lee tour dates

During his time in the comedy industry he has published and edited the UK's longest running nationally distributed comedy magazine The Fix, been the comedy editor for the Guardian Guide, directed several sell out critically acclaimed shows and what at this stage seems like the high point of his career appeared as a panelist on Loaded TV's flagship book show 'Lads Lit'.

Carol's Backstory
She was maybe 8 or 9 years old. The Great Depression was hard on everyone, especially families who had to try and make it when they lost their ways of income. Carol had lost her parents only a few months before, and as such was very lonely. She had worked hard to stay alive, very determined and strong at heart, but she was just a child. Kids her age were frequently used as cheap labor in factories these days for only pennies pay, and she had recently started somewhere like that to earn her food. It was hard, but she was full of dreams and determination, and wouldn't let it bog her down. The one thing she loved to do, however, was read. Her mother had taught her how when she was 5, and she had latched onto literacy like a plauge. It was marvelous, what somone could do when they were reading! Visit far off lands, travel and smile and forget all cares… She had a small bag she used to carry her personal things in; a spare shirt that had belonged to her father, two of her favorite story books, and her change purse when it was full. It was a ratty old thing, as were the clothes she already wore, but that was fine. There were churches to sleep in, and some factories let childred rest in them if they were orphaned and homeless, as well as sometimes a kind person who would give them bread. It was about knowing where to look.. Carol was good at it. She learned about many people and places, about the histories of new york buildings and other things, and craved information more than her next meal. Today, the small, shaggy looking child was trying to haggle a man for a newspaper. "I only have one penny though, Sir.. Can't I come back thursday to give you the other two..?" The man seemed fed up with a street urchin bothering him about a paper, and maybe even thought she was trying to pick pocket him. "Gett outta here before I call tha police, you runt..!" He waved a foot at her, then smiled and nodded to another customer that paid and took a paper. She looked desperate. "But please, Sir..! Can't I buy at least a part of it..?" He growled. "I won't be sellin' a part of a paper! Now get off with you, and come back when you have the full fee!" she flinched and her eyes filled with tears, but she begrudgingly pulled back. Her mind wondered though.. Could she take one..? The small girl made like she was walking away, and then quickly snatched a paper from the pile, taking off quickly down the street as fast as she could. The paper seller behind her shouted. "HEY! Stop, you little thief! Someone stop that girl!!"
Gustav and the newspaper that he was the Vice President of meanwhile was doing well for themselves. They printed the paper everyday, kept a small staff, and sold the paper for a decent price for the times. Plus there is the information business… Gustav was also careful with his money. Both on spending and carrying it with him. He spent enough to keep it circulating and saved enough so he didn't have to worry to much about his income. This day he had gone out to go and buy himself some groceries before spending the day home with his books and his writing. Mostly working on a collection of stories of the Prohibition age and the Great Depression that he was working on. As he walked he heard someone shout about a theif and saw a girl running with a Paper. A curious expression flickered across his grim face for a moment. This was certainly something unusual to him. What child… No. What person would steal a paper in this age? Food is what most would steal. So. For now, Gustav let his curiosity about this girl get the best of him. Moving slightly he stepped into her path and caught her. Placing a hand on her shoulder he didn't take the paper from her right away. "Miss. Stealing a paper. You should know better then that." The man said in an ambiguous tone, making it seem more like he knew the girl to the shop keeper. "Go on return the paper like a good girl." Gustav said looking down on her, his expression actually fairly soft at the moment to goad her into returning the paper.
For a moment, she felt like she was going to get away, and the rush was prickling at her heart. She wasn't a thief and had never stolen a thing in her life, but it had been a moment of weakness for her. Then, suddenly, the thought of getting away crashed down. A man was in front of her and caught her, stopping the small girl in her tracks. Her face paled and she was sure she'd be thrown into prison for this, as she looked up at him. The man was scolding her, now, very much gentlemanly, asking her to return the paper. He was speaking to her as one would a true lady, and she was flustered. The look on his face was kind as well. Carol hugged the paper to her chest, and went to argue, but something in his face made her stop, defeated. Feeling hope for her paper… She looked back, then up at him one last time, then looked like she was going to cry. "…Y.. Yes sir…" hesitating, she turned and slowly made her way back to the confused looking newspaper salesman, holding it out to him with a meek apology. "I.. I'm sorry… Please don't send me to prison!" The man snatched it from her with a scowl. "I have mind to! You there, surely this street brat isn't yours? Maybe she works in your factory?" He looked at Gustav accusingly.
Looking satisfied at the girl giving the paper back the gentleman then turned his gaze towards the shop keeper. "That isn't a point of concern at the moment sir." Gustav said. "I appologize for the trouble. But I assure you she won't do this again." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a dime and held it to the man. "For your trouble." He normally wouldn't do such a thing, but this girl interested him. And she did see like such a good child. "If you don't mind. I'll take care of her from here." The sooner he got rid of the man he could talk to this girl and figure out why of all things she stole a paper. Depending on her answer he might treat her to one. Since he could do so easily and all.
You and your money. The man seemed to change completely as he was presented with the dime, and he took it with a pleased smile. "Well, I do hope so. We have enough trouble without little hooligans deciding to steal papers. Pleasure doing business!" he tipped his hat, then went on calling headlines. Carol looked immensely uncomfortable. The girl shifted, watching as the man paid what she thought was an uncomfortable amount of money for her trouble. Why was he standing up for her? Was he another factory owner..? He didn't seem like one.. He seemed very rich, though.. She wondered if she should just slip away..
He wastched the man walk away before letting out a breath. Giving the girl a curious look as he turned his gaze down on her. Letting go of her trusting she wouldn't run away. Then he crouched down some to be more on her level. "Now. Young miss. Would you tell me why you would steal something like a paper? Isn't taking things like food more what a poor girl would need to do?" He asked. Gustav wanted to know. His voice reflected his curiosity. But he also made sure to keep his tone soft so that he wouldn't scare the girl away. "You certainly look like you need food more then a paper. Unless you needed something to burn for later tonight." That was the logical thing. But his instinct told him that wasn't the case.
Her thoughts of running away were stopped then, and she found she couldn't look at him directly as he spoke to her, kneeling down to her level. She knew it was an odd thing to steal, but… She couldn't help it. The girl mumbled an 'um..' as she wrang the cloth of her old dress. She shook her head. "..I.. Might have used it to burn eventually… But.. I really only wanted to read it..!" She felt very out of place, and figured they must have looked a sight; a classy man like him and an orphan like herself. "They paid us only two pennies this week, and the man wouldn't sell it to me for less, and papers are less expensive than a book..! And the information is always different! I just wanted to read it.."
"Oh? Is that right…?" Gustav said listening to her. Books and papers. And she wanted them for the reading material? But she was so young… She must have lost her parents to, was his guess… "Are you alone as well miss?" He asked her, needing to make sure. This girl did intrigue him quite a bit. If she said she was he already had a plan in the works for if she wanted a chance to read all she liked and not need to worry about taking care of things like food.
She had a sinking feeling, thinking maybe this man really was going to take her in to the police, so they could throw her in prison. "It's true, I absolutely promise!" Maybe if he knew how honest she was, he wouldn't send her to jail. Tears were stinging her eyes again. Then he moved on and the sinking feeling grew. She nodded slowly. "If.. You mean my parents, then yes, I'm alone.. Father passed working on the railroad and Mama was very sick.. Please, sir! I don't want to go to prison!" It was safer on the street.
Letting out a breath he put his hand to his hat as he stood up. "I don't plan on doing any such thing." He said taking on his normal expression. "But. I think I will do something. Miss, I am Gustav St Germain, the Vice President of The Daily Days. And. I think… As payment for getting you out of trouble you will come work for me." He doubted this child would turn him down on this 'demand', after all this meant she could work in the paper. "I could use an assistant. And you are quite the interesting youg lady." He said keeping his gaze on her.
She was dumbfounded as she went on. She knew of both his name and the paper. The Daily Days was slightly harder to get than the paper she had just been trying to steal, and the information.. The stories.. They were always fascinating. And he was telling her as payment, she needed to work for him? It sounded too good to be true. The shocked look on her face still, she stared at him. "I-i am..? You.. You truly want me to be your assistant?" Was this really true? He didn't seem like a dishonest man, but she was a bit wary. "…When will I work…?"
"I do. There aren't many children your age that are more willing to steal a paper to read rather then burn. Or chose that over food. It would be a shame for you to not cultivate such things!" Gustav said looking fairly amused with her. He really wanted this girl to work for him. Even if only as an assistant. She could be a big help, and he could teach her a lot he felt. Yes. This was the right thing to do. "You will start as soon as you tell me your name. Of course you would need to get cleaned up as well."
Meaning new clothes and a bath. "So. What is your name?" This is your interview Carol.
So he was serious.. It didn't sound like he was going to make her do some kind of printing work, or something where she could only see the papers… No, he was speaking like she would be allowed to read them, among other things. She looked up at him with some sort of awe in her eyes, then looked like she wanted to cry again. Why was he being so kind? "C.. Carol… My name is Carol…" It had been so long since she had given out her last name, she didn't even bother with it. "Sir.. Why are you being so kind to me..? Just because I love to read..?"
"That certainly is part of it. But you are also such a good hard working child Carol. That sort of spirit and mind does not need to be on the streets." Reaching his hand out he placed it on her back. So much for his time out. Oh well. "So you will come stay with me and work as my assistant." She had no where else to go. And he did have the means to take care of her. He gave her a bit of a smile. "Come Carol. Let's get you cleaned up. You will be my assistant from now on. Looking like that simply won't do now will it?" He could keep her looking like a little street rat after all. It would be poor taste for him, and she deserved better. He could take her home and ask his housekeeper (he doesn't seem the type to clean his own house or cook) to get clothing.
