CHOICE TABLES; Asian Stars Are Bright in Vancouver's Firmament
Published: October 27, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
I don't know that you could find a more eclectic or esoteric meal elsewhere without spending a small fortune. Yet the story doesn't end there, because this is a Chinese restaurant with desserts that appeal to non-Chinese. Green tea and coconut pudding is delicious, despite an abundance of green food coloring; as is the warm steamed fresh tofu with ginger syrup. A light egg custard in a buttery crust would pass muster in Paris. Amazingly, however, a creamy, subtle warm almond pudding is served with canned fruit cocktail.
The service is exceptional for a large restaurant and the dining room is relatively attractive. But even if it looked like my high school cafeteria, I'd eat at Sun Sui Wah when I was in town.
For years, I ignored the pleas of my Vancouver friends to visit Lumière, officially the Best Restaurant in Town. If there is one thing New York-based food writers don't need, I argued, it's the local four-star maison.
But Robert Feenie's Lumière is in that rare category of restaurants where the food is often original and sometimes stunning. Mr. Feenie, a candid admirer of the better-known North American chefs, does not so much imitate them as allow himself to be inspired by them.
And he takes full advantage of the Northwest's enviable local ingredients. One of his classics is black cod with sake, maple syrup, mushrooms and hijiki (black seaweed), a uniquely North American twist on a Japanese classic. Raw sockeye salmon with beluga caviar and a touch of tapenade is a bare-bones treatment of local seafood.
A signature dish is Mr. Feenie's ravioli with red curried squash with truffled beurre blanc -- sweet, spicy, tender and juicy, the kind of dish you cannot get enough of. But not all of his special dishes are so precious: local white and green asparagus are served with a soy vinaigrette; raw tuna comes with a simple Thai salad of green papaya dressed with lime.
The offerings in Lumière's spare and subtle main dining room are based on four different tasting menus and, by New York standards, they are not expensive (especially given the favorable exchange rate), ranging from $50 to $75 in U.S. currency. To me, the less elaborate ones, with a mere seven or eight courses, are preferable to the grand one, which consists of a dozen or so plates and will take you nearly three hours to eat. In fact, for economy of both dollars and time, you might consider sitting in the attractive bar, where you can order many of the tasting menu dishes, and some other specialties, for $7.50 (United States) each.
Desserts are refreshingly restrained. Lemon sorbet laced with lemon peel and served with deep red, sweet strawberries is one example, as is arborio rice pudding with rhubarb confit. These are designed not to overwhelm you with their brilliance but to provide a nice finish to a good meal. Bravo.
The service at Lumière is knowledgeable and competent if sometimes overly friendly. But the servers, along with the near-flawless food, the clean, bright, stylish feel of the place, the superb wine list -- which offers standard haute cuisine accompaniments, but also a broad native selection -- combine to keep Lumière at or near the top of everyone's Vancouver list.
No sushi fanatic can possibly visit Vancouver without a visit to Tojo's, inventive and beautiful. The room itself has panoramic views of the city; you can sit on the terrace, in one of a couple of small, semiprivate rooms (on the floor on cushions), or in the main part of the dining room (the interior tables, away from the windows, are less desirable).
Most of the action, however, is at the 10-seat bar. There, omakase, the chef's tasting menu, is priced at $31.30 (United States) and up. (Much as I like to cut costs when possible, this is a place where you are best off putting yourself in hands of the chef, Hidekazu Tojo, and then paying the bill without directly looking at it.) When serving omakase, the chef steers clear of standards. Sablefish is steamed in parchment paper with mango, shiitakes, shrimp, and gobo (burdock); a crepe comes filled with crab, shrimp, scallops and chile; sockeye, lightly smoked, is served nigiri-style; seared tuna is marinated in citrus; a geoduck hand roll combines herring roe, daikon, cucumber and chile, a super marriage of textures and flavors. Mr. Tojo's cold seafood salad with surf clam, slivered fried eel, shiso leaves, cucumbers, green noodles and a light soy dressing, is memorable.
As is the overall experience. This is not only good eating, it's good theater. A dramatic, forceful character, Mr. Tojo changes dishes and ingredients at whim. He seems to see North America not so much as a place to follow the traditions of his native cuisine, but as one where it can evolve. In Vancouver, he approaches cult status: for a young chef, working with him is an honor, and the enthusiasm of those lucky enough to whirl like dervishes behind the counter send out not only gorgeous food but also near-nuclear energy in every direction.
The wine list is limited, but there is a good selection of white wines from British Columbia, as well as a dazzling array of sakes. Most desserts are nicely done versions of the standards -- such as the inescapable green tea ice cream -- but the daily special is usually worth sampling. On my last visit I had black sesame ice cream served with fresh fruit, including pineapple marinated in strawberry juice, a pretty touch.
Bill of fare
Vancouver is easy to get around in: Cabs are plentiful and inexpensive, and if you are driving you probably won't get lost. Parking is easier than in most major cities, and none of these restaurants are right downtown. Just carry ''loonies'' and ''toonies'' (1- and 2-dollar coins) to feed the ubiquitous parking meters. All these restaurants take credit cards, and none allow smoking.
Prices are in U.S. dollars, calculated at $1.60 Canadian to the U.S. dollar.
Vij's, 1480 West 11th Avenue, just off Granville; (604) 736-6664. Open for dinner daily; no reservations (be prepared to wait, though, except for peak times, it often isn't bad). Dinner for two, about $45.
Sun Sui Wah, 3888 Main Street, near 23rd Avenue; (604) 872-8822. Open every day, lunch and dinner; reservations accepted. Dim sum, less than $13 a person. Dinner, $13 to $20 a person.
Lumière, 2551 West Broadway, near Larch Street; (604) 739-8185. Open for dinner, Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. Reservations almost essential, except for the bar, which can get crowded. At the bar, spending less than $15 a person is possible; otherwise, figure at least $50 a person.
Tojo's, 777 West Broadway, near Heather Street (second floor); (604) 872-8050. Dinner only, Monday through Saturday. Reservations required. Minimum of $15 a person, but it's easy to spend $60.
Worth a Visit
Bishop's, (604) 738-2025, 2183 West Fourth Avenue, Vancouver.
The Pear Tree, (604) 299-2772, 4120 East Hastings Street, Burnaby.
Cioppino's Enoteca, (604) 685-8462, 1129 Hamilton Street, Vancouver.
Raincity Grill, (604) 685-7337, 1193 Denman Street, Vancouver.

Thousands of supporters celebrate with a poster showing Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak 18 months ago, in Cairo late Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012. Morsi ordered the retirement of the defense minister and chief of staff on Sunday and made the boldest move so far to seize back powers that the military stripped from his office right before he took over. Arabic reads: "We are all with you." (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)

This dirt....on my hands
Is from honest toil
You fear...you'll get
Your apron soiled....
If they should touch
Your skin so soft
Don't look at me
Like I won't wash off
I know...my clothes
Ain't always clean
Would you...prefer
Some dirt unseen
There was a time
You didn't care
Don't look at me
like you're pure as prayer
Or....someday you'll find
You're left....behind
Even muddy rivers roll
Darling, even muddy rivers roll
A hammer's all...
I've had to hold all day
Come close... to me
Don't turn away.....
Someday you'll find
You're left...behind
Even muddy rivers roll
Darling...even muddy rivers roll

The planet Jupiter was once a miniature sun, according to Richard C. Hoagland, PhD, a space scientist. During that period, a rich stream of electromagnetic and cosmic ray energy bathed the Jovian satellites, including Europa, Jupiter's third-largest moon. Hoagland believes that photochemical formation of organic molecules, which are the precursors to life, occurred in a global ocean 65 miles deep on Europa's surface. When Jupiter's stellar phase ended, a crust of ice five miles thick formed on the moon's surface. Life evolved under this canopy of ice, sustained by internal heat sources.

Thought you might be interested in this picture I took across from the main train station in Taipei, Taiwan. It is a very large Linux penguin, dressed up for Chinese New Year. I just finished up with Apricot (the Asian networking conference), and Linux had a large presence in the IPv6 appliances on display, as well as the research being presented. The research lab I work in has many Linux systems. The software engineers do most of their work on Linux and FreeBSD.

I just read the article "Linux for a Small Business" by Gary Maxwell [LJ, April 2003]. He states that when you pay for a book, you debit your cash account and credit your expense account. I believe it should be the other way around. In accounting, debit refers to the left side of a T-account and credit refers to the right side of a T-account. The words are of Latin derivation meaning left and right. They don't mean decrease or increase. Depending on the type of account, a debit can either increase it or decrease it. The same applies to credits. I think this is probably the source of most non-accountants' confusion about double-entry accounting.
Thanks for the great article listing rdesktop, Marcel [Cooking with Linux, LJ, April 2003]. In a heterogeneous environment, rdesktop works nicely for getting to Windows machines. I have also found tsclient (www.gnomepro.com/tsclient), a GNOME 2 front end to rdesktop that looks and acts exactly like the Windows Terminal Services client. For those of us who must work in this environment, it helps things a little bit.
To Jon "maddog" Hall: I am Brazilian and would like to let you know that I agree with your response to Bruno Trevisan's letter about the "Landless Workers' Movement", Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) [LJ, February 2003]. I sincerely thank you for bringing out the facts. MST is addressing the very basic needs of landless people in Brazil in a conscious, organized and effective way. MST has shown results—tons of results. The land issue in Brazil is a serious one, and Trevisan's statements show a total lack of respect toward people in need of basic things, people in poverty, people that die from hunger. Former President Cardoso never had his farm destroyed. The Brazilian army was always securing his properties because of the lack of response of local police. A few years ago, in the Brazilian state of Para, in the Amazon region, the state police cowardly murdered dozens of rural workers. It took a very long time to bring the police officers to trial. A few years ago, in the state of S. Paulo, the state police invaded a prison and murdered 111 prisoners. Again, it took a very long time to put the responsible ones on trial.

The term wardialing was in use in 1979-80. It was used to describe either linear or random dialing of phone numbers and keeping tabs on the modem carrier detects (CDs) received. Wardialing also was used interchangeably to signify using those numbers, getting the codes from the long-distance carriers, or if you were lucky, a PBX connect to trunk calls and make party lines. Nothing too intelligent, just brute force. Not that I ever did any of that. I think the term war was that you were at "war" with the phone company doing this. Think of it as carpet bombing the telco switch. Eventually, you'll hit something. There were a lot of turf wars like they have now, and essentially, the biggest "list" wins. The movie Wargames (1983) had nothing to do with it whatsoever.
I disagree strongly with your description of GNOME 2 as "an excellent choice for first-time and nontechnical users" ["The GNOME 2 Desktop Environment", LJ, April 2003]. I used GNOME 1 and persuaded my wife to use it too, but when I installed Red Hat 8 with GNOME 2 we found things had gone backward.
Under GNOME 1, with the Sawfish window manager, I set up all sorts of keyboard shortcuts. This was reasonably easy. There was a decent keyboard shortcuts tool, which allowed you to set the context (global, window, title) and then set shortcuts like Alt-MOUSE3, etc., with a long list of commands to assign them to. Now under GNOME 2, I find a very primitive "keyboard shortcuts editor" that offers a much smaller number of predefined commands and does not allow you to specify the context. Why adopt a worse new window manager without offering the choice of keeping the old one?
We wanted to have some programs run on GNOME startup. I looked in the menus for something like "startup". It took ages: I finally found the required functionality in a program that runs when you click on Extras-->Preferences-->Sessions. Well hidden!
My wife found GNOME 2 unusable and unfriendly. I found it shockingly weak on everyday functionality, compared with GNOME 1. Overall, the point of a desktop is to make the computer more usable, but I see no sign of any user-sensitivity in the GNOME desktop. It feels like a half-baked programming project, not a user-oriented functional tool.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Do I have a dream job for you @viagogo
28 February, 2012 at 11:05 am Tim Roberts ARTS Australia Leave a comment
This job may now be a bit of a nightmare on the back of the 'Dispatches' exposé of The Great Ticket Scandal.
"It's really ####ing shady!" Viagogo employee in The Great Ticket Scandal.
"at viagogo you'll work with fun people who are committed to helping fans gain access to tickets to the best live events in the world!"
One of the required Skills and Attributes is "A sense of humour"😉
The Great Ticket Scandal in summary:
Viagogo takes the most flack (not surprisingly they attempted to block the broadcast with an injunction), but Seatwave and others named are not without blame. Promoters LiveNation and SJM are also incriminated for duping fans with a 90/10 split (in their favour) on the markup on tickets withheld from the primary marketplace and allocated to resellers like Viagogo.
"Viagogo staff compete directly with real fans to buy tickets from primary ticket sellers, like Ticketmaster, for in demand events as soon as they go on sale. To get around systems put in place to prevent bulk buying of tickets, Viagogo staff use multiple credit cards registered to different addresses."
"major promoters allocate hundreds or even thousands of tickets to be sold through their (Viagogo) website at well above the face value. Tickets for recent gigs and tours by Coldplay, Rihanna, Westlife, Take That, and V Festival have been allocated by the promoters in this way."

Cancer Health Center
Cancer: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Victories in the Fight Against Cancer
In 2005, there will be 1,372,910 new cancer cases in the U.S. and 570,280 cancer deaths (about 1,500 per day), according to statistics from the ACS.
Overall, "if you look across the board, there are very few cancers in which we are not seeing declines in mortality," Glynn says. "We are seeing reductions in prostate, colorectal, and breast cancers, and stomach cancer has basically fallen off of the edge of the earth in the U.S.," he says. "In lung cancer among men, we are seeing a drop, and we will be seeing a drop among women by 2010," he predicts. Still, lung cancer remains the top cancer killer in both sexes, according to the ACS. It is responsible for nearly one in three cancer deaths in men and about one in four among women.
According to the latest ACS statistics, death rates for all cancer sites combined decreased 1.5% per year from 1993 to 2001 in men and 0.8% per year from 1992 to 2001 in women.
"Five-year survival for all cancers combined used to be about 50% and now it's 75%," Glynn says. "We have made a lot of progress in early detection," he says. "Fewer than 1/2 of all women were receiving mammograms several years ago and now it's close to 80%, we have mapped the human genome, which will eventually lead to individual treatment and prevention, and smoking is down in women to under 20%," he says.
Five-year survival describes the percentage of people still alive within a five-year period after diagnosis or treatment of cancer.
The Katie Couric Curve
Survival is way up in colon cancer because it is caught earlier due to routine colonoscopy (which is the method recommended by most major medical institutions), says Vijay Trisal, MD, an assistant professor of oncological surgery at the City of Hope National Cancer Center in Duarte, Calif. After her husband died of colon cancer, NBC newswoman Katie Couric had a colonoscopy live on national television. In the following weeks and months, the numbers of people across the country having colonoscopies increased more than 20%, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Health System and the University of Iowa.

Last Day in Atlanta
Today is the last day of the Conference and our last full day in Atlanta. Drive to Orlando tomorrow to join the cruise on the 11th. I left the hotel early and caught the shuttle bus to the Martin Luther King Jnr Historic site. It included the Ebeneza Baptist Church that his father and he were ministers. The church was the centre of his civil rights work. His wife, after his assassination, took over and continued his amazing work for peace ...

All the old signs, bottles etc that I used to see when I was young.....maybe I need to be in the museum too! The history of how Coke was invented etc made for a very interesting couple of hours.

For dessert wine and port they offered a French Ch�teau Solon Sauternes, Bordeaux, and a Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port from Portugal. Of course, there was also champagne: Jacquart Brut Mosa�que from Reims, France. I had a glass or two of the 2006 which was nice.

He's usually telling me that he's on his way home and asking me if I need groceries or anything else so he can stop and get it for me. He's so sweet. I love hearing from him, but sometimes guys want to let us know they're thinking of us and they miss the mark.

My issue is that I'm not receiving any notifications from woocommerce to let me know an item has been purchased.

Any ideas?

|Jeffrey Archer.
On July 19, 2001, after a perjury conviction, Jeffrey Archer -international bestselling author, now known as Prisoner FF 8282-was sentenced to four years in prison and spent the first twenty-two days in HMP Belmarsh, a high-security prison in South London that houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. During those three weeks, Archer contemplates suicide; his mother dies, and a hundred photographers follow him when he's allowed out to attend her funeral; he's moved to death row because it's the only place with enough security to protect him, a high-profile prisoner; his cellmate sells a story to the tabloids, prompting Archer's move to solitary; and prisoners and guards routinely line up outside his cell to ask him to sign books or to ask for advice about their own writing. A Prison Diary is his unforgettable account of these events.

It doesn't feel accidental that the Cannes Film Festival should deliver an unusually strong showing for female filmmakers the same year that Jane Campion is serving as jury president. But festival topper Thierry Fremaux, who's typically loath to discuss his program in terms of gender representation, insists that featuring 15 women helmers in the official selection — two of them (Naomi Kawase and Alice Rohrwacher) in competition — was not a conscious decision.
"We've always shown films directed by women," Fremaux said, adding that diversity in the movie biz is an issue that needs to be addressed year-round.
Certainly there's more than one way to measure the inclusiveness of the competition program unveiled at the fest's April 17 press conference. The youngest director in competition is 25 (Xavier Dolan); the oldest, 83 (Jean-Luc Godard). As always, French helmers are plentiful, including Godard ("Goodbye to Language"), Michel Hazanavicius ("The Search"), Olivier…

I would like to replace the blog post articles with either featured products or any products.
I'm using an 3rd party portfolio-ish theme. It would be ideal if I could display a certain category of a product instead of just a blog post article.

Jackson County Community Theatre will present the final shows of its 2013-14 season on Friday and Saturday at Royal Off-the-Square Theatre in Brownstown.
"Rabbit Hole," written by David Lindsay-Abaire, won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
The play is the modern and realistic story of a family that experiences a tremendous loss. Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart.

Avance opening Friday
Friday is opening night for Avance, the progressive-American restaurant from Roxborough-bred/New York-honored chef Justin Bogle at 1523 Walnut St. (215-405-0700).
He and business partner Chris Scarduzio stripped the dining room and bar of its past as Le Bec-Fin 3.0.
The sleek dining room features a dazzling ceiling fixture of old-fashioned bulbs set to varying heights, adding contrast to candlelit, unclothed walnut tables. Vertical strips of greenery trim the side walls.
The second floor, once completely cut off from the ground-floor restaurant, has lost its "Siberia" feel. Ask for Table 37, a deuce that overlooks the dining room on the edge of a new balcony.

Glenn Beck Rally Attendance: Greater Than Rally To Restore Sanity Attendance?TheMommyologist
Now the the Rally To Restore Sanity is over, people everywhere are asking, "Did the Glenn Beck Rally have a higher attendance than the Rally to Restore Sanity attendance?
And the answer? Well, that all depends on who you ask.
Earlier reports I found estimated the Glenn Beck Rally attendance to be between 300,000 to 600,000, and the Rally To Restore Sanity attendance at 150,000 to 200,000.
However, some new info suggests that the Rally To Restore Sanity attendance may have actually been at least 250,000, and could have possibly been more than the Glenn Beck Rally attendance.
I've done my best to find a clear winner, but I can't seem to do so. Basically, Glenn Beck fans say that his rally had bigger numbers, and Jon Stewart followers claim that the Rally To Restore Sanity crowd blew Beck's numbers away.
So which is it?

Here Are Obama's Favorite Columnists
The president uses an iPad to feed his "voracious" reading habit, former top advisers say. But he reads the New York Times in print.
WASHINGTON — President Obama can't get enough of his iPad, former top aides Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau told BuzzFeed Brews Monday. But he still reads the New York Times in print.
"When he goes for the New York Times, he still reads the hard copy," Vietor said. Plowing through a paper copy of the Times dates back to at least Obama's time as Senator, both men said.
The president's news diet isn't limited to the paper of record however. Vietor said Obama's favorite columnists include Business Insider's Josh Barro, New York's Jonathan Chait, and the Washington Post's Ezra Klein.
Obama likes people who write "smart, nerdy stuff," Vietor said.
- Hillary Clinton has picked Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate. He was considered a favorite for the ticket.
- At least 10 people, including the gunman, are dead after a shooting at a mall in Munich, Germany.
- ISIS has claimed responsibility for a bombing Saturday that killed at least 80 people in Afghanistan.

Dunedin charity shops are spending thousands of dollars to
get rid of rubbish that has been left outside their shops and
in donation bins, under the guise of donations.
Soiled clothes, bedding and mattresses, old televisions and
even lawn clippings were some of the offending items dumped
after dark for charities to clean up.
Dunedin Salvation Army Family Store manager Jane Orbell said
she caught someone leaving a television set and a computer
monitor outside the South Dunedin store over the Easter
''I told the chap he wasn't to leave it but he just carried
on unloading it and I told him I was going to prosecute and
that is going to happen.''
People were often waiting until it was dark and then dumping
things they knew the shops would not take.
Dirty mattresses and clothes, old televisions and even lawn
clippings were dumped at their doorstep. Anything of value
that was left after hours was often taken by other people
''People go through it and then leave a mess behind.''
She said they were making two or three trips to the landfill
every week in their truck to get rid of rubbish.
Presbyterian Support retail manager Chrissy Anderson said
they spent thousands of dollars each year disposing of
unwanted items that came into the store, including unwashed
and heavily soiled clothes and bedding.
Staff had to wear gloves and masks when unpacking donated
goods. Some types of old clothes and sheets were popular with
mechanics for use as rags but they had to be clean.
She estimated about 15% of donations were totally unusable.
''In the most part we get really good donations but our
rubbish costs are extraordinary and they are going up
Mrs Orbell said a meeting was being arranged soon with
charity shop administrators and Dunedin City Council staff to
work out what could be done about the problem.

Travelling along Big Stone Road yesterday through the forest
and see another huge pile of domestic waste dumped at the
side of the road by some lazy drop kick. 100% pure, yeah
Why are people doing this? The cost of disposal is
unreasonable to some individuals, we need a fairer system so
anybody can use public free of charge landfills and recycling
funded by council. The country side will be dumping zones
next if we don't act...
Being a volunteer at the Mosgiel Salvation Army shop I know
the amount of rubbish that is dumped over the weekend. I also
know that there are good and generous people out there that
bring in good items and as such charity shops have to take
the good with the bad. The City Council is partly to blame

Industry Preps for Worst With New EPA Regs
PITTSBURGH – Addressing about 2,000 gas and oil industry leaders, Michael Krancer acknowledged that not everyone supports the fracking boom sweeping across Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
"We've got about 20 folks outside who don't like what I do – and don't like what you do," said Krancer, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, as he spoke Thursday during the Developing Unconventional Gas East Conference and Exhibition.
As the 20 anti-fracking protesters converged outside the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, they chanted for Krancer to resign, noting they believe he and other Pennsylvania regulators are not properly overseeing the drilling industry. Krancer clearly disagreed, saying the Keystone State must promote energy development.
"Energy equals jobs. Energy equals domestic security," he said. "Obviously, we have to do it in an environmentally sensitive way. We don't do it any other way."
Tom Petrie, chairman of Petrie Partners, and Gary Slagel, senior adviser for environmental affairs for Consol Energy, believe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is soon going to find a way to place more regulations on fracking, or hydraulic fracturing used to release natural gas from deep shale formations. Though the activity is exempt from regulation under the federal Clean Water Act, Petrie and Slagel believe the Obama administration is looking for ways to harness fracking.
"We are preparing for the worst," Slagel said regarding new federal regulations.
Drilling under the CNX Gas Corp. banner, Consol maintains gas operations in Marshall County, while the company also has working arrangements with Hess Corp. for acreage in Ohio and with Noble Energy in West Virginia.
Slagel also said he believes there is more public concern over natural gas drilling than ever existed over coal mining, the business for which Consol is best known throughout the Upper Ohio Valley.
Petrie said the "fear of fracking" is very real among the public, though he does not believe people should be afraid.
He noted that Obama's re-election is a major concern for those in the gas and oil industries because the U.S. EPA is moving in on fracking.
"The candidate promoting energy was not elected," Petrie said of the recent general election that saw Democrat Obama defeat Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"We need someone to articulate effectively the merits and benefits of fossil fuels," Petrie added.
Krancer said he will fight to make sure state regulators maintain primacy in overseeing fracking, adding he believes the federal government should have better relations with energy producers.
"Some say that Washington is best to regulate hydraulic fracturing. I say no," he said.
Ray Walker, senior vice president and chief operating officer for Range Resources, reminded those in attendance that the oil and gas industry has been "very good to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
"The largest gas field in the U.S. today is the Marcellus (Shale). It has changed the entire marketing process," he said.
Noting he did not "want to get political," Walker made it clear he believes oil and gas drillers work best without much oversight by the federal government. Walker also said governments need to realize the potential benefit natural gas has for helping the nation move forward.
"If you want to have energy independence, the answer is natural gas. If you want to rejuvenate manufacturing, the answer is natural gas," he said.

Laparoscopic resection of a large functional paraganglioma in the organ of Zuckerkandl (SIU 2011)
- uploaded: Jun 12, 2011
- Views: 4
Institution:Ospedali Riuniti B.M.M. - Reggio Calabria, Italy
Introduction and Objectives
Paragangliomas of the organ of Zuckerkandl (PZ) are rare extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas and, according to a recent systematic review (Subramanian,A et al., Am J Surg 192:224-34, 2006), only 135 cases have been reported so far. Detection and appropriate treatment of these tumors is important, because PZ have a 43% mortality when presenting acutely. While the utility of the laparoscopic approach in adrenal pheochomocytoma is well established, information on the safety and effectiveness of this approach in PZ is still very sparse.
Materials and Methods
In this video we describe the successful laparoscopic resection of a large functional paraganglioma of the organ of Zuckerkandl in a 20-year-old women with infrequent, but severe, hypertensive crises. Urinary metanephrines were 3 to 5 times higher than the upper limit of the normal range and a CAT scan revealed a large, spherical (diameter 10 cm) abdominal mass, overlying the vena cava and the aorta, from the subpancreatic area to iliac bifurcation.
The tumor was excised by the transperitoneal laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopy produced excellent exposure, allowed proper identification of the tumor's origin and its relation to adjacent organs. First of all, we did a Kocher manoeuvre to mobilize the whole cefalo-duodenal-pancreatic bloc and the third and fourth part of duodenum to totally free the anterior vena cava and aorta. After that, we begin preparing the tumor, living laterally the right ureter, clipping large vessels arising from right iliac axis and freeing the interortocaval groove, clipping and sectioning two or three retrocaval vessels. Then, we resected the inferior mesenteric artery and divided the blood vessels coming, directly, from the aorta and vena cava. At the end, full resection was completed uneventfully and the tumor was retrieved in a bag through an enlarged incision of the periombelical port.
Available experience, although limited, suggests that laparoscopic exploration of suspected extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma is an appropriate approach to estimate the extension of the tumor and its resectability. Appropriate patient preparation, intra and post operative monitoring appear critical for successful clinical management of Zuckerkandl paragangliomas.

The Associated Press
PROVO, Utah — The painting simply vanished.
A beautiful oil and canvas painted by the hand of an American master, it was stolen sometime between 1970 and 1985.
Once a persistent detective determined it was missing, it was too late to know whether it had once graced a cultured professor's wall or waited patiently in a corner for the day it would be showcased to the masses.
Certainly no one could say who took it. And to this day, nobody knows how "The Silver Chalice with Roses" slipped into the shadows of the art world's international black market.
At least nobody is telling.
"The Silver Chalice" made its way through the hands of a local crook, art dealers in Park City, Denver and New York — one of whom is in prison for murdering a model — and a Swiss baron.
It's a story that took BYU detectives years to unravel.
You could say it all started around 1959.
Mahonri Young was only two years in his grave. His estate, combined with his deceased wife Dorothy's, boasted nearly 10,000 works of art — a collection that would make any art connoisseur weak at the knees.
After the couple's deaths, heirs of the estate decided to bestow the art treasury to one lucky recipient: Brigham Young University. Perhaps this transaction was appropriate because Young happened to be the grandson of the school's namesake.
BYU didn't have a museum, so where did the 9,903 art pieces in the Young collection go?
For an amateur in the art game, BYU's answer was storage rooms, with the occasional piece making its way to a faculty member's wall.
And in this game, BYU certainly got played.
For the next 15 years pieces of artwork disappeared, and no one noticed their departure via shadowy transactions shrouded in secrecy.
It wasn't until 1986 that a light was shined on years of deceit. BYU Police Lt. Arnie Lemmon decided to investigate the years of ongoing rumors of fraud and thievery within the BYU art department. He went into the case focusing on certain bronze works said to be fakes. What he uncovered turned out to be more than just a couple forgeries — between $4 million and $6 million dollars in art works had vanished.
BYU isn't one to let go of valuable items easily, and the ongoing search turned into decades of detective work.
Lemmon took a special interest in this particular case. His work began with informing the art world that there were stolen pieces floating around. Lemmon registered about 250 missing pieces with the International Foundation for Art Research, the world's largest database of missing art. The foundation keeps its finger on the pulse of any clues that might surface concerning the missing hoard.
Thus far the international art theft detectives have aided in the recovery of about 45 paintings, most recently the oil and canvas "Silver Chalice with Roses," painted by Dorothy's father, J. Alden Weir. But why does this painting, one barely larger than a piece of printer paper, get special mention?
After being stolen sometime between 1970 and 1985, "Silver Chalice with Roses" resurfaced in 1987. It was listed in an art catalogue produced by art collector and artist Barbara Novack. The issue was used to showcase the extensive works owned by a wealthy collector in Switzerland. The magazine listed the provenance — or genealogy — of the piece. Right at the top of the listing was Brigham Young University. Unbeknownst to the current handler, a Swiss count named Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, the "Silver Chalice" was stolen from BYU.
On June 13, 1987, Lemmon sent a letter politely asking the baron to return the painting to Brigham Young University, explaining the situation.

I am doing a slide show of "text slides" rather than image based slides. Each text slide includes a varying amount of content and I would like to size the container on each slide to adjust to the amount of text in a given slide. Rather than just setting the "height of slideshow" to say 300px and having it stay static.
Not sure if there is a way force this in the style editor. I'm a newbie to WP. Many thanks.

We stayed in room A in the Cliff House. We watched the fish boil from the front porch swing.We loved our room, wishing though for a more comfortable sofa or chair in our room. Having had a number of knee surgeries I found it difficult to get out of the very low chair and sofa. Another suggestion would be for a broom so that we could clean off the front porch or our private porch so we could use it. With the damp weather cob webs and leaves needed to be brushed off before we could sit on them each time..A broom on the porch of the home would be great. We will be back!!!

We have stayed at the White Gull Inn at least once a year since 1988. It has all of the ambiance anyone looking for a small inn or New England style bed and breakfast could want. The rooms and service are of the highest quality. The owners are their staff both strive to make the stay one you will remember. Try their "Good Morning America" award winning breakfast.

Although famous for its fish boils, the White Gull is a great escape year-round. The Coulsons have worked hard to enhance the inn's historic appeal with ongoing improvements and refurbishing to keep the decor sparkling fresh. In-town location is quiet yet an easy walk to cute shops and more.
