Opera venues need long-term solution
Culture and the property market are not easy companions. A last-minute deal involving a philanthropist has saved the Sunbeam Theatre, the home of Cantonese opera in Hong Kong, but at a hefty price. The monthly rent for the 1,033-seat venue in North Point is HK$1 million, a more-than 30 per cent increase and a continuation of a trend since a new owner acquired the building in 2003. Opera lovers are thankful, although it is time they and authorities realised that this situation is simply not sustainable.
Performances have been held at the theatre in North Point for the past 40 years. It is beloved by the mostly elderly opera-goers for its central location, neighbourhood feel, convenience for public transport and proximity to pre- and after-show gathering places. That it has been in private, not government, hands has been an anomaly. Cantonese opera is intrinsic to Hong Kong society and it should have a permanent venue, not one that is at the whim of a landlord. The owner has been convinced to set aside his plans to put up a shopping mall - the theatre will stay for four more years after renovation work.
This is obviously not a long-term solution, nor is it good for lovers of opera. The landlord has not had an easy time, either, being pressured to be compassionate when he could instead be making his investment more profitable. People who support the art form should be forcing the government to more easily make available venues at locations easily accessible to patrons.
Cantonese opera is finding eager new adherents thanks to education programmes at schools. That is only fitting for a cultural emblem of our society. The government has promised new venues, but none as big as the Sunbeam will be ready until the purpose-built Xiqu Centre at the West Kowloon arts district has been completed around 2016. The new Sunbeam deal will keep opera-goers happy, but it is only delaying the inevitable. Authorities must sing a different tune and ensure venues that give fans certainty.

The iPhone 3G is only available in two colors: white and black. Right? Wrong. Apparently, Apple also made a pink iPhone 3G with the obvious intent of giving it to the ladies.

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing Recipe
About the Author
21 comments:
Once again, I need a substitute. This time for cashews. I know they are the "cream" for us dairy free people, but a dear friend of mine is off all nuts. Any suggestions? She will LOVE this recipe. A seed perhaps? She can do coconut...
She and I share discoveries. The latest from her is kale tossed with olive oil, lemon & sea salt roasted at 100 degrees (a pilot light is perfect). Another version is tossed in tahini, salt , olive oil and lemon. Kale chips are SO GOOD!
Great to hear the news from Camp C-C...begone. I am in Noe Valley, SF for the summer, close to mom.- AnonymousJuly 26, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo! This is an answer to prayer! My daughter will be dancing in the streets, for sure! Thank you and God bless you!
Barbara - David D.July 26, 2009 at 2:39 PM
Thank you Ali for creating this. I have tried the bottled "natural" dairy-free version from the co-op but this looks much healthier and tastier! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDelete Thanks for your comments, Sue - not quite sure how to make this nut-free. Possibly a mix of coconut milk and tahini or soaked sunflower seeds? I have had kale chips before and they are addicting!
I have made this before without the Penzeys mix and the dressing just isn't the same. I don't think I added all of the ingredients they use in the blend though.
Hope you all enjoy! :)Hi Ali, I made this dressing and it was very good the first day and then the second day the flavor was excellent! You know how some things are even better on the second or third day - this was! Thanks - I had always loved buttermilk ranch dressing, and it is good to be able to have a similar (but better)dressing again!
DebAmy - I hear you, once I began makng my own dressings I could never buy anything pre-made. Oil and vinegar or lemon juice are about as basic as you get, without sacrificing on flavor! :)
Deb - Thanks, this dressing is sort of like a good pot of chili, it just gets better on day two or three. Glad you enjoyed! :)
Melissa - How fun to be herb drying right now. My girls have so much fun harvesting food and storing it for winter.
Happy Summer! -Ali :)Jennifer - I would try adding 2 extra tablespoons apple cider vinegar + 2 tablespoons of water to replace the 1/4 cup lemon juice. This is my best guess, please let me know what you think. :)
Sarah and Lauren - I see I didn't respond to you - thanks for your comments! BTW - I have found that this dressing becomes even creamier if you soak the cashews in water for a few hours then drain off the soaking water. :)I made this dressing recipe this morning. I served it to my family for dinner tonight and got rave reviews! I was looking for a dairy-free ranch style dressing recipe for my 8 yo son who is dairy-allergic. I used to make my grandmother's southern parmesan-peppercorn ranch recipe and am thrilled to find one that we all enjoy now, dairy-free. I love penzeys spices and was happy to see you use them too! One more note, I decided to soak the cashews overnight like you suggested in the comment. Thanks again. I am looking forward to trying out more recipes on your lovely blog.
Lisa (LA)Thanks so much! This is a great recipe. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of fat (I'm assuming it's fairly high fat due to the cashews and olive). Is there a way to reduce that? Could you make this without the olive oil? Or cut down on the cashews?
I absolutely love the taste, and have made it once already. I do have highish cholesterol so I'm trying to watch my fat intake.- veronicaJuly 26, 2012 at 3:03 PM
I am very excited to make this, have a Question, of what is Herbamare? I purchased the Penzeys butermilk ranch dressing, but I guess my recipe I printed says Herbamare! help confused!
ReplyDelete I make this dressing at least once a week, from your recipe your cookbook and we LOVE it! I have tried various ranch dresings and I hate to say it, but none of them could get me off of "Hidden Valley" (aaack! I know!) until this one. Not that it tasted like HV, just that it is soooo good!
:-) For us, the 4 cloves of garlic here would be too much, but 2 is just right. I add dill, basil, thyme and marjoram instead of Penzey's.

Ski tourism is raising stress levels among capercaillie, (wood grouse) the largest member of the grouse family of birds, which could harm the birds' fitness and ability to breed successfully, ecologists have found. Writing in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Applied Ecology, researchers warn that forests should be kept free from tourism infrastructure if they are inhabited by capercaillie - a species whose numbers are declining markedly across central Europe.
The study by ecologists from Switzerland, Germany and Austria used a new technique to assess the impact of ski tourism on capercaillie. Working in the Southern Black Forest in Germany, they collected the birds' droppings before and after the start of the ski season, and analysed them for levels of the breakdown products of the stress hormone corticosterone. They found that levels of the breakdown products of the stress hormone were significantly higher in birds living in areas with moderate or high levels of ski tourism.
One of the study's authors, Dr Lukas Jenni of the Swiss Ornithological Institute says: "Ski tourism affects both habitat use and stress hormone levels in capercaillie, and this could adversely affect their body condition and overall fitness. Because of this, we recommend that managers keep forests inhabited by capercaillie free from tourism infrastructure and retain undisturbed forest patches within skiing areas."
According to Dr Jenni: "The level of winter sport activity and the introduction of new outdoor sports such as snow shoeing has increased drastically during the last decade and affects essential habitats or retreats for a number of rare or shy species such as black grouse and chamois. Human recreation activities in winter could be especially harmful to capercaillie because of the birds' reliance on a diet of low-quality conifer needles. Body condition at the end of winter has been shown to affect reproduction success of the related rock ptarmigan."

text: Argentina's men's basketball team may have come up short against the United States, but their heavily favored soccer team laid claim to a gold medal of their own. Angel Di Maria's chip shot past Ambrose Vanzekin was all the Argentines needed to defeat Nigeria in a brilliantly contested Olympic gold medal match. The second half goal, set up by the deft touch of the enigmatic star Lionel Messi, led Argentina to a 1-0 victory, and a well earned gold medal. Both sides showed flashes of brilliance, but Argentina's stylish passing made all the difference after 90 minutes in of China's 90 degree weather. At one point midway through the first half the referee actually halted play to give players a two-minute respite from the searing midday sun. Di Maria seemed to be one of the few players unaffected by the temperature, and his non-stop movement eventually paid off for Argentina. Benefica's "Little Angel" was already expected to draw significant interest from Europe's larger clubs, but his potential transfer will likely cost quite a bit more (as the NBC commentators noted) on the heels of this impressive performance. Nigeria equipped acquitted themselves quite well in the loss, their second to Argentina in a major competition after 2005's runner-up finish in the international under-20 competition. Their stellar run in the Olympic tournament lends further credence to the belief that the Nigerian national team will be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. In other news, I am incredibly tired (drunk on gin) so I'm going to get some sleep before the weekend's Premier League action kicks off. Stay tuned to Deadspin Weekends for the stylings of Tuffy, who will be getting things started at a much more reasonable hour. Image via Yahoo! Sports

Hey y'all! Today I have a review of my January Ipsy Bag (referral link) themed/named 19 reasons. Unfortunately, I could probably name at least 19 reasons why I hated this months bag....but I'll try to be nice.
When I saw what I was getting, I was pretty excited....but that soon faded as soon as I opened the envelope. The cute teal makeup bag smelled absolutely HORRIBLE. It almost triggered a migraine, so I had to move it far away from me after this picture. I emailed them & they said something about the manufacturer having to use extra paint for the bag & it would go away in 24 hours or so. Well, it took longer than that. I did check it the other day and didn't notice a smell, but I couldn't believe the horrible quality control letting that slide. Anyway, onto what I thought of the products themselves.
Proactive+ Mark Fading Pads - Not 100% sure why I got these, as I only get hormonal breakouts and not very often. I did try them, as I had a few spots but I feel my Clean&Clear stuff worked WAY better than these tiny little wipes. Maybe if I had more than 4, I would've been more impressed. I also didn't like that the only way to get these is to purchase them with a kit. So definitely wouldn't purchase since you really can't anyway.
Mica Beauty Tinted Lip Balm - The shade I received was Fiesta, which is a soft mauvey pink(I think). First off, I absolutely HATE lip products that come in jars. If I'm putting something on my lips, I do not want to have to wash my hands before & after applying to keep from getting germs in the product and near my mouth. I also wouldn't call this a lip balm at ALL. When you think of "balms", you think treatment. When you think "tinted", you think sheer. Not with this. It's drying and opaque. I had to use a brush to apply it to my lips and actually had to apply it over a balm with a gloss over it. Another that I wouldn't purchase.
Elizabeth Mott Smooth Shadow Creamy Eye Pencil - I received this in Pearl. I was excited to get this because I LOVE eye stuff. It's rather tiny, and I was expecting a full size. It also has a plastic like outside but my thumbnail scratched it, so I think it should be easy to sharpen. I tried to use this over the weekend and the color is pretty, but too sparkly to use as a base & too light to use as a liner. So, I tried to apply it to the inner corner of the eye as a highlight. I couldn't see it at all. I swatched it on my hand to make sure it was ok and it looked fine on my hand, beautiful & smooth even. I tried to get more on the eye again with no luck & just gave up. The swatch lasted forever. I even just applied it to the top of my hand again and it will NOT rub off. I might just try using this as a face highlighter or on the brow bone. IDK that I would purchase.
Nourish Organic Lightweight Moisturizing Face Lotion - I heard/saw a lot of people saying they didn't like the smell of this. I can't exactly pin point it, but it wasn't off putting. I did like this, but I think the sample size was WAY too small. It was thin and my face seemed to drink it up causing it not to spread around easily. I hate moisturizers, because most of them make my face look like I dunked my head in a can of Crisco, but not this one. It was super lightweight and my skin loved it. IDK that I loved it enough to pay $22 for it, but I might definitely think about it.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask - YAY I remembered the alt code for the trademark (ALT + 0153 = ™) without having to look it up. The only bad things I can say about this is there wasn't more....well that and when I tried to wear this as an actual hair mask, meaning more than a few minutes, it seemed to lather in my hair so I rinsed it out. My hair felt so silky smooth after using this. If it wasn't $26, and I didn't already have a HUGE stockpile of hair products, I'd be picking this up and trying the rest of the line.
Overall I only loved 2 our of the 5. And because everything was sample sizes, IDK that it was worth the value of this months bag. HOWEVER, I honestly can't complain for getting to sample all of these for just $10 a month.

Aggregator site hit with subpoena, gag order
Political aggregator site Indymedia.us was served with a subpoena by the U.S. Attorney in Indianapolis demanding the IP addresses of all the site's readers, along with a order not to reveal the existence of the subpoena.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation contacted Assistant U.S. Attorney Doris L. Pryor and established that the subpoena's demand for silence was not supported by a court order, and was not legally binding. Pryor said that she intended to get a court order compelling silence, but instead withdrew the subpoena the next day.
EFF and Indymedia site administrator Kristina Clair decided to go public with news of the subpoena for fear that it was not an isolated incident. Village Voice Media editors in Phoenix were jailed in 2007 for going public about a similar subpoena. The special prosecutor in that case was dismissed.

'Sensational' Runoff Around the Corner
It's gonna be big. So say all the scientists. Hope y'all get a few more days on the area rivers. Then it will be at least a month before salmonflies start flapping around, and I'll wager that a lot of the hatch won't even be fishable due to the water. It's gonna be an awesome year for golden stones though. Please be safe if you choose to take some recreational floats. There will definitely be a period this year where things will be too dangerous, even if you are an expert. Not much you can do when a 150 foot pondy trunk slams into your Sotar. Keep it real.

USPS Moves to Improve Merlin/CASS Ambiguities
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Postal Service said at yesterday's quarterly Mailers Technical Advisory Council meeting that it is aligning its Coding Accuracy Support System test with Merlin acceptance.CASS is designed to improve the accuracy of carrier route, five-digit ZIP, ZIP+4 and delivery point codes that appear on mail pieces. Merlin, or Mail Evaluation Readability and Lookup Instrument, is used to validate address accuracy for mailers receiving automation rates.
Under rules implemented in January, Merlin will have no tolerance for the incorrect use of ZIP+4 codes "0000" or "9999." As a result, the USPS -- working with the MTAC Executive Committee -- decided to align the CASS Cycle 1 software, which is to be implemented Sept. 17, with Merlin acceptance so both will have zero tolerance for invalid 9999s.
"The bottom line is that if you use CASS-certified software to process your mail, you don't have to worry about Merlin," said Bob O'Brien, vice president of postal and distribution policy at Time Customer Service, Tampa, FL, and industry chair of MTAC.
O'Brien also said the existing Merlin 9999 appeals process will continue to be available for resolving disputes.
The USPS and the MTAC Executive Committee said the action will help resolve any ambiguities around the application of 9999 in the ZIP+4 code and provide assurance that CASS and Merlin are aligned and should produce similar results.

Effects of Parental Empathic Attunement on Children:
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Parents have a significant impact on a child's emotional development and socialization. Eisenberg, Cumberland, and Spinrad (1998) postulated that parental reactions to children's experience and emotional expression are "examples of ways in which parents can directly socialize children's emotion-related reactions" (Eisenberg, Cumberland, & Spinrad, 1998, p. 241).
Eisenberg et al. (1998) identified parents' emotion-related socializing behaviors (ERSBs) to socialize their children's emotions as parental reactions to children's emotions, parents' discussion of emotion, and parents' expression of emotion (Eisenberg et al., 1998). Valiente, Lemery-Chalfant, and Reiser (2007) added "when ERSBs foster optimal levels of emotional arousal and learning, they are believed to directly influence children's effortful control (or more broadly regulation of emotion), and consequently, problem behaviors" (Valiente, Lemery-Chalfant, & Reiser, 2007, p. 250).
Valiente et al. (2007) also posited that "parents' temperament and the family environment are linked to parenting practices that might promote (or inhibit) children's effortful control, a component of emotion-related regulation, which in turn is hypothesized to predict children's problem behaviors" (Valiente et al., 2007, p. 250).
This may suggest that "an essential component of children's successful development is learning how to regulate emotional responses and related behaviors in socially appropriate and adaptive ways" (Morris, Silk, Steinberg, Myers, & Robinson, 2007, p. 364). Morris et al. (2007) added "parents' own emotional profiles and interactions implicitly teach children which emotions are acceptable and expected in the family environment, and how to manage the experience of those emotions" (Morris et al., 2007, p. 365).
This annotated bibliography will survey five peer-reviewed articles that look at the effect of parental emotional attunement on children's development and socialization. The review will assess the positive and negative outcomes of parental attunement or non-attunement. And it will report on an intervention for parents to build emotion-focused skills with their children.
Havighurst, S. S., Wilson, K. R., Harley, A. E., & Prior, M. R. (2009). Tuning in to kids: an emotion-focused parenting program-initial findings from a community trial. Journal of Community Psychology, 37(8), 1008-1023. doi:10.1002/jcop.20345
Using the body of research on children's emotional competence and the impact of emotion skills on their socialization, the authors explore how this knowledge can be applied to parenting interventions. The authors define emotional competence, better known as emotional intelligence, as the ways emotion is perceived or expressed, having knowledge about emotion, the ability to regulate emotion, and the ability to appropriately use emotions in intrapersonal and interpersonal situations. Research shows that by preschool age most children are able to communicate about their feelings and are able to express them. They are able to understand cultural rules about expressing emotion, understand that they can experience more than one emotion at the same time. Children can also understand another person's emotion and be empathic. The authors cite that improvements in social behavior, attention and physical health are associated with development in emotional competence. The research also shows that failure to develop emotional competence can lead to high levels of negative emotionality and difficulty in regulating emotion, which occur prior to the start of behavior problems and are indicators for children at risk for later problems. The authors point out that learning to understand and regulate emotions becomes developmental milestone during the preschool years.
Research showed that parents play a key role in the development of children's emotional competence through modeling emotional expression, reactions to their children's emotions, and how they assist, or emotion coached, children in learning about their emotional responses. The authors noted that a parent's own emotional expression and regulation not only models how to manage and express emotion but also provides the emotional climate of the home. Therefore the parent's emotional wellbeing plays a central role in the emotion socialization of children.
The authors propose that even with the growing evidence that associates children's emotional competence and parental emotion socialization, practical applications for parental interventions are lacking. They noted that there are few, if any, evidence-based programs that target the responsiveness of parents to children's emotions or aim to teach emotional coaching as a way to enhance children's development. The current study, The Tuning in to Kids Program, addresses that by reporting on the initial evaluation of a community-based parenting program that teaches parents skills that impact children's emotional competence and behavior.
The research sample group was made up of 218 parents of children (115 boys, 103 girls) from ages 4.0-5.11. Parents for the study were recruited from preschools in culturally and linguistically diverse lower- to middle-class socioeconomic regions in Melbourne, Australia. Preschool directors were asked to distribute study information to all parents but encouraged those having emotional or behavioral difficulties to participate.
Preschools were randomized into intervention (30 preschools) and a waitlist control (31 preschools) groups. Parents with children at the intervention preschools were assigned to the immediate start program, and parents with children at the waitlist preschools were offered a 10-month delayed start program. Participants were the primary caregiver (209 mothers, 9 fathers; mean age in years=36.52, SD=4.98). In the initial data collection 193 (88.5%) of these were intact families; 24 (11%) were single mothers, and one mother re-partnered.
The Tuning in to Kids Parenting Program was scheduled during school hours at a local community center and delivered in a group format for 2-hours a week for 6-weeks with two facilitators (one of whom was Havighurst, Harley, or Wilson who are 3 of the 4 authors of the article). A structured manual, created by Havighurst and Harley was used. The program taught parents to emotion coach their children through a series of exercises, role-plays, instructional materials, and psycho-education. Parents were also taught skills in understanding and regulating their own emotion.
Questionnaire data were collected pre-intervention (Time 1) and post-intervention (Time 2) with parents from both groups and completed measures at the same time. Time 1 questionnaires collected family demographic information, and both Time 1 and 2 questionnaires included validated scales to examine parent emotion socialization practices, parent emotional competence, parent wellbeing, and child behavior.
The results found that parents who participated in the Tuning in to Kids program reported greater competence than the control group in responding to their children's emotions immediately after intervention with increased ability to respond in supportive and assistive ways when their children experienced emotion.
The authors noted that program facilitators reported that for many parents it was the first time they were able to empathize and connect with their children around emotions. In group sessions parents reported that they begun to notice their child's behaviors were the outcome of emotions that were not able to be expressed, understood, and resolved. They discovered that by attending to their child's emotions at lower level intensity parents were better able to acknowledge, teach and respond rather than to wait until the emotion intensified and overwhelmed their child's ability to think. Findings supporting this change reported reduction of difficulties in children's behavior. The authors added that findings showed that the majority of those with clinical levels of behavior problems before the program were no longer above clinical cutoff post-intervention suggesting that it may be possible to improve children's behavior functioning by focusing on teaching parents effective emotion socialization practices.
The authors cited several limitations to their research study. The article reports on the parent's reports of change, which has a potential to be affected by expectancy bias. The authors also note that parents may report change when emotional intensity levels are low but high intensity emotion may bring about internal patterns of parenting that may be rooted family of origin experiences. Observing parents using their skills with children in the home setting in real-time may be the most accurate way to measure change but that was beyond the resources of the study. The authors suggested that determining whether parental changes persist over time is also required.

Our immune system protects us from the harms of the outside world and does an amazing job. It's able to recognize an enormous variety of foreign invaders and to design weapons specific to each one. In doing so, it defends us from the billions of organisms we come into contact with every day.
From This Episode:
Health Bust: Your Bad Habits Caught on CameraBut sometimes the immune system has trouble knowing what counts as an invader and what doesn't. While a healthy immune system knows which cells of the body belong to the body and which do not, diseases can arise that make it difficult for immune cells to know who to attack.
Instead of fighting the enemy, they turn on their allies and start to destroy the very body that they're supposed to protect. This is called an autoimmune disease and describes what happens in systemic lupus erythematosus, more commonly known as lupus.
While many are aware of heart disease, diabetes or breast cancer, few know about lupus in spite of the fact that it affects tens of thousands of Americans. Here's what you need to know.
What Is Lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect any organ of the body including the skin, joints, heart, kidneys, lungs, nervous system and many others. As immune cells attack the body, inflammation, scarring, and permanent damage ensue, leading to worsened function and sometimes even organ failure.

As I wrote about yesterday, I'm probably going to close/downgrade a couple credit cards in anticipation for several rounds of applications this year. Last year I wasn't very disciplined with my applications–I would apply for limited time offers and try to do one or two other applications that day.
This year I want to organize my applications in batches every 4 months or so (some people swear 91 days is the magic number, but I'm going to go on the conservative side).
I don't have any big car or mortgage applications coming up, so I'm not afraid to flex my good credit score and maximize sign-up bonuses. But I am picky- 2011 taught me to hold out for the best bonuses, so here is a rough idea of my next application round and other cards that are high on my "To Get" list. You can generally only get one Chase and American Express card per application day, but there are ways to get around that, including negotiating with their reconsideration lines.
For Chase and Amex, I'd recommend doing one personal and one business card maximum, and Citi currently allows two applications in the same day that count as only one credit inquiry (as I highlight in this post). Capital One pulls from all three credit bureaus, so I'll only apply for one if the bonus is extreme, for example 100,000 points for the Venture card. Bank of America, Barclays and the other smaller players don't have anything that is really exciting to me, so until I'm exhausted with top offers, I'll focus my inquiries on the ones most worth my time.
Upcoming Applications:
1) Citi Thank You Premier: 50,000 point bonus
after spending $2,500 within 3 months–no annual fee for the first
year. While these points cannot be transferred to hotels or
airlines, they can be used to book airfare at 1.33 cents a point,
so getting this card will mean I get $665 in free airfare. The
great thing about tickets booked with ThankYou points is that
they accrue miles and elite status, so I'll use them for domestic
trips that I'll get upgraded on since I'm a Delta Diamond and
soon to be American Executive Platinum. $665 for a single credit
inquiry? Sign me up! More info.
2) Citi American Airlines Mastercard: 40,000 points after spending $5,000 within the first 6 months. There are currently 50,000 mile offers for the Visa and Amex AA cards, but I've already gotten them when their bonuses were 75,000.
3) Chase Hyatt Visa: 2 free nights at any Hyatt in the world (and I have upcoming plans for the Maldives). Not only that, if you are a Diamond member, the two free nights are in a suite. $75 annual fee, but since I'll easily be able to book rooms that are $1,000 a night at top Park Hyatts, this is a no brainer for me–especially since you now get a free category 1-4 night each year you renew, which easily pays for the $75 annual fee.
4) I may also try to get the "new" Chase Ink Bold for Business for 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points after $5,000 spend within the first three months, $95 annual fee waived for the first year. I got the old Ink Bold right before they launched the new version, so I am going to try and get the new one for one of my other businesses (I have several LLCs). Will keep you all updated if I am also eligible for the new card bonus.
Two options for my Amex:
5) American Express Delta Reserve Card: 10,000
Medallion Qualifying elite miles with first purchase. This year I
am dropping from Diamond to Platinum Medallion, but will rollover
40,000 MQMs. My flying in January is exclusively American as I
work to almost completely qualify for Executive Platinum status
(I'll have around 70,000 EQMs by January 31), but I'll need some
help getting my Delta numbers up so I can potentially get back to
Diamond. The Reserve card also gives special upgrade priority,
which may come in handy while I'm a "lowly" Platinum battling for
upgrades. The companion ticket is pretty valuable as well and
will cover most of the $450 annual fee–and I may end up losing
SkyClub membership if I cancel my Amex Platinum card (which is
why this application is TBD–if I don't cancel Amex Platinum I can't justify having two
$450 annual fee cards).
6) American Express Mercedes-Benz Platinum: 50,000 points after spending $1,000 within the first three months. I will probably never use the card after it, but the 50,000 points alone are worth over $1,000 to me, which makes the $475 annual fee palatable.
So potentially I could net 190,000 miles/points and 2 free nights at a Park Hyatt suite for four credit inquiries (~8 point temporary hit to my score).
1) Continental OnePass Plus or United MileagePlus Explorer cards. I am waiting
until they offer 60,000 miles, which many people are getting as
targeted offers. They were supposed to run this promo in the fall
of 2011, but it got pulled last minute. I'm hoping they decide to
run it again and when they do I'll hop on it since I value United/Continental miles highly.
2) Starwood American Express. Believe it or not I've never had the Starwood Amex. I was in the beginning stages of applying for a mortgage when it was launched this past August, so I'll apply again when the bonus is 30,000 points or higher. They ran that promo for the last two years in August, so I hope it happens again since that'll be around the time of my second round of applications.
3) Capital One Venture card. Currently the bonus is a measly 10,000, but there are rumors that they may run another 100,000 point sign-up bonanza, in which case I'll hop on it since I missed it last time around.
What cards are you eyeing in 2012?

Alaska Tourism
Another tough year for Alaskan tourist industry
SEATTLE — As the Alaska cruise season starts, Seattle's happy. Vancouver isn't. Alaska, yikes.
A complex brew of economics, regulations, tax fights, politics and the arcane art of predicting what ships should go where has state officials estimating that 140,000 fewer passengers will cross Alaska docks this summer, costing millions in tourist dollars.
"Tough, tough, tough," says John Binkley, president of the Alaska Cruise Association. "It'll be a hard season."
The first northbound trip starts Monday in Seattle, with Holland America Line's MS Amsterdam leaving on a two-week cruise. In all, Seattle expects a record 228 port calls this summer, five more than in 2009 and nearly all to or from Alaska.
Vancouver launches its Alaska season May 9 when Holland America's MS Ryndam leaves. But hard times and competition from Seattle have just 179 ships calling at the Canadian city, nearly a third fewer than last year's 256.
Alaska offers incomparable scenery - glaciers, mountains, peaceful islands, wild terrain. Plus there's gold rush history and a wealth of shore activities, from fishing to whale watching to just browsing the shops on Ketchikan's Creek Street boardwalk.
That's brought huge tourism growth over the past decade. But the state is facing a second tough year as cruise lines cut the number of ships from 28 to 25.
About 883,000 cruise ship visitors are forecast this summer, down 14 percent from approximately 1 million in 2009. Economists say that means a loss of about $150 million in spending.
For the countless shoreside businesses angling for a share of the $1.5 billion or so that tourists spend, it's meant belt tightening and offering new attractions. Binkley, who also runs Fairbanks riverboats, says he's had to cut 70 of his company's 200 jobs.
Others point out that Alaska has always had a boom and bust economy; businesses quickly adapt or die.
"It's a great concern but we're bracing our feet," says Karen Hess, who with her husband runs tour boats and a ferry service out of Haines and Skagway in southeast Alaska. "And we're adamant we'll make it through."
Aggressive pricing in the depths of the recession last year meant cruise passenger visits stayed about the same as 2008. But the rock-bottom deals - under $500 for some trips - also attracted bargain hunters reluctant to open their wallets. Total state visitor spending was off 15 percent, or $270 million.
Cruise lines sent 28 ships to Alaska in 2009, but cut that to 25 this year, choosing to operate more ships in Europe and other hot markets. Money's the reason, but industry officials and cruise line executives say their main gripes are Alaska's stringent environmental regulations and especially its $50 "head tax" on each cruise passenger entering the state.
Environmentalists who pushed through the 2006 citizens' initiative establishing the regulations and tax vehemently disagree, but cruise lines say current technology can't meet the clean water standards for ship discharges. And they say the head tax gouges them and is enough to make the difference on thin profit margins - and to send ships where they don't have such problems.
"We don't mind paying our fair share of the way," says Stein Kruse, president and CEO of Holland America. "We don't mind our passengers paying head taxes. But to punitively tax out-of-state visitors simply made no sense."
Alaska also may have gotten complacent, with "a soak-the-tourist kind of mentality up there lately," says Paul Motter, publisher of CruiseMates.com.
"I think Alaska has to get a little bit smarter" on promoting itself and tourism in general, he added.
After heavy lobbying by Kruse and others in the industry, Gov. Sean Parnell helped push a bill through this year's legislative session to lower the tax to $34.50. State regulators also have temporarily eased some of the environmental requirements and legislators have boosted marketing money for tourism.
With decisions on where to deploy ships made about 18 months in advance, that won't affect the 2011 season, when the major lines plan to drop two more ships from Alaska runs. But Kruse says the changes have given him "a much renewed sense of optimism for Alaska" in deciding 2012 deployments.
Vancouver officials also hope for a turnaround. Disney, Crystal and Oceania have announced plans to begin cruising out of Vancouver in 2011, though with smaller ships than the major carriers. Greg Wirtz, manager of trade development for Port Metro Vancouver, says it hopes for a tourism bounce from the immeasurable publicity of the Winter Olympics.
But Seattle's a tough competitor, having spent millions to steadily grow its cruise ship trade from a measly six vessel calls in 1999.
Though increased security after 9-11 has made it harder to cross the Canadian border, John Hansen, president of the Vancouver-based Northwest CruiseShip Association, says it's not anything that Seattle is doing right or Vancouver is doing wrong.
"The major factor has been that it's easier and cheaper and more convenient for people to fly into Seattle," he says.
There are signs the worst may be over for Alaska.
Barry Swanberg, general manager of Phillips Cruises and Tours in Whittier, says he's getting more bookings. Though "that's not saying much" because 2009 was so bad, many businesses, especially larger hotels, report the same, he says.
Airlines have recently increased the number of flights to the state, which also helps, Swanberg says.
"Nobody is waving the flag that they're going crazy, but everybody is saying it's better," he says.
Alaska is "really a smoking bargain now," Motter says. "Last year it was an incredible bargain, now it's still a great bargain."

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures are rising on some promising economic data out of Asia.
Dow Jones industrial futures are up 36 points to 14,945. S&P futures have added 4.5 points to 1,658. Nasdaq futures are up 15.5 points to 3,145.
The U.S. trade deficit expanded in July, due in part to slowing growth in China and Japan's ongoing economic struggles.
On Monday, China reported that inflation eased in August, hinting at an economy on the mend. The deficit with China jumped to an all-time high of $30.1 billion in July, according to U.S. figures released last week.
Japan's economy expanded more rapidly than originally thought between April and June. The country's Cabinet Office said Monday that the economy expanded faster than estimated during the first quarter as well.

Bills Rookie Tackle Demetrius Bell is the lowest rated player in this year's Madden.
The only reason you know who he is is because he's the estranged son of Karl Malone. But, before you say he Bell could have been more than a "project" for the Bills' coaching staff this year. Think about Cheryl Ford. Karl Malone is her father too. And, just like Bell, he played no role in raising her. But Ford is a WNBA All Star and has won a championship. So, clearly, Demetrius Bell is just lazy.

Decided to try this Michelin recommended restaurant as it's quite near our hotel. Got there about 7:30pm and the place was deserted but it was full by the time we finished.

Great Job!
It looks like you have 58ft at the drop of a hat!
I have read numerous posts about how important cordage was in the wild, why 550 cord was THE survival cord, and how to make paracord belts (slats), bracelets, lanyards and whatnot.
I always keep a hank of 550 in my pack and have added paracord lanyards and tie-downs to sheath knife. I even bought a "survival" bracelet off of ebay which has become part of my EDC.
I was not thrilled with the idea of a paracord belt because if I need the cord I have to sacrifice my belt. That means that 1) now I'm carrying everything that was on my belt, 2) my pants fall down because I no longer have a belt, and 3) I can't pull them up because my hands are full!
Well, I posted the idea of making a paracord hat band here more than five years ago but never got around to trying it. Since then, several people have done so.
Thanks to the recent post that linked to Stormdrane's survival bracelet tutorial, I finally broke out a 100 yard hank of woodland camo 550 cord and took a whack at making a "survival" hat band. I used the King Cobra method, meaning you do a Cobra stitch for the full length and then do another row of Cobra stitches back across the first set. It was kind of a pain to set up, and since I didn't know how much cord it was going to take I started from the middle of the 100 yard piece. I used a 4-strand base, and made it 24.5 inches long. It ends up containing an amazing 58 ft of 550 cord in a single piece!
As it turns out, the thickness of the hatband threw off my measurements, so it is about an 1.25 inches too short. Also, I'm not thrilled with the way I attached the cord to the male side of the buckle, so I'll be unraveling this and starting all over. (At least I'll know what to expect if I ever need the cord in the field!)
Great Job!
It looks like you have 58ft at the drop of a hat!
FLIX....you have been on a roll!!!
You are on the verge of the Wilderness Survival Kit Hat!!
Your foodsealer pack...paracord...maybe a wire saw in there somewhere?
Keep it up and keep sending pictures! Brilliant!
Don't forget the fish hooks and line under the sweatband on the inside, standard equipment in my hats.
This is an idea and a half. I like it! Great job!
Looks spiffy. even if it is not your final version, well done.
What name were you using?Well, I posted the idea of making a paracord hat band here more than five years ago....
Forgive this dumb question... when you need some of that cord, can you take off say 10' and re-finish the braid, or does the whole thing have to come apart?
Not a big deal either way I guess. In any case I sure like the survival hat idea, why didn't I think of that?!?
Thanks, Mike.
Back then, my handle was "Arma Moluta". Here is the link I referred to. I was primarily a lurker. I no longer have that email address and for the life of me cannot remember my password.
The way it is made, you could take of the top layer of Cobra Stitches, which would give you about 25 ft of cord, and the hat band would still be intact. If you were to use the "Slats" method, you could just unravel as much as you need.
Cool, thank you! The first way makes more sense to me, then you have 25' of cord and still a stylish hat-band. Guess I need to learn how to braid.
Have you considered using a monkey chain sinnett knot, so that... if need be... you can unravel your cord instantly, instead of needing to unweave it?
Very cool
My Hats Off to your ingenuity (sorry had to make one)
It looks good. I know how much time goes into trying to work paracord ideas out and you definately put some effort into it and it shows, kudos. Here's a link to another quick release braid you might try for the hatband.
hmmm....fun with paracord....you guys got me playing with a hank I had next to my computer here. Great idea with the hat, and nice links guys.
Whats a good source of 7 strand paracord in spools and a multitude of colors?
I get most of mine from the Supply Captain.
Thats a really neat way to carry your paracord.
Wow that's pretty crafty
FLIX, looks great. I wear boonie hats a lot, that looks like a great addition.
If you guys haven't seen Stormdrane's page, you have to check it.
He knows a little about braiding cord.
Not for a boonie hat, but wouldn't a wire saw just fit perfectly in the inner band of a hat that has that "sweatband" in it??? I don't know why hooks and a small amount of fishing line wouldn't work in there also.... seems like some 20# test you could get quite a few feet of it wound around the inside and never notice it was there.
Now where to put the bobbers I'll leave to someone else....

Do you like crashes, tackles and slaps? Hey, Sunday's Camping World Truck Series race is perfect for you.
The Truck Series' first trip to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park got wild on the last lap and it only escalated afterwards.
On the final corner, Chase Elliott, the son of 1988 Sprint Cup champion Bill, made contact with leader Ty Dillon and Dillon went spinning into the tires. Elliott kept control of his truck through the grass and made it to the finish line first for his first NASCAR win.
But that was the appetizer to the main course of craziness. Max Papis and Mike Skeen were racing for third behind Elliott and Dillon when Skeen, making his first NASCAR start, got inside of Papis on the final corner and both trucks crashed. They both got going again, and with Papis and Skeen pointing towards each other while they limped their damaged trucks to the pits.
While Papis was unbuckling, someone tried to get to him but was quickly tackled by members of Papis' team.
Then, after Papis gave a post-race interview to Fox Sports 1, an unidentified woman (obviously with an affinity for Skeen and team) came up to Papis and slapped him hard on the left cheek.
It was quite an ironic slap. At Road America in June, Papis, an accomplished racer who races part-time in NASCAR and filled in for Tony Stewart at Watkins Glen, slapped Billy Johnson on the helmet after they had contact over the race's final laps. However, this one was much harder and without the benefit of a helmet for protection. Papis' wife Tati took it well, though.
Ahahha was actually kind of comical....hey other @nascar wives careful or I'll slap ur hubby...WTF???!! #whodoesthat

this wiki
This article or section needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of the GTA Wiki. |
myroomonline.net is a website accessible in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. It is a parody of social networking site MySpace.
MyRoom's main page directs to several people's profiles, much like "Cool New People" on MySpace, and each profile is a satire of a stereotypical MySpace user. Some profiles include:
hUnybUn 167
- A teenage girl using Alt Caps, a method of typing usually used by adolescent girls that involves capitalizing random letters (for example: jUsT LIkE ThIs). It is often said that the purpose is to demand the reader's attention by having them focus on each word. She uses it for the entire profile, and it is very difficult to read, especially because the profile is also in bright, tacky colors. She is an aspiring model, usually doing borderline sexual favors in exchange for gifts. Her interests include partying and "celebs". Her friends are mostly like-minded young girls who also comment on her profile using Alt Caps.
- An obese high school girl with low self-esteem. She is an outcast at school, gets cruelly teased by her more popular classmates, and instead prides herself as an intellectual (a hand-in-hand relationship typical of overweight children). She is from Montgomery, Red County, San Andreas.
- A moody college student, who recently lost his girlfriend, writes poetry about how he is misunderstood, suicidal and in an alternate universe. He eventually calls himself the most boring man on MyRoom.
- One profile of a man who mostly just gives a highly positive review of his sex doll. He comments that it resembles pop singer Samantha Muldoon. He also likes guns and is violent towards most other women, drives an ice cream truck, and personally admits that he's really creepy. On his profile it states that he lives in Fort Carson, San Andreas.
- A pale and frail high school girl whose real name is Debbie, but who calls herself "Octavia, Dark Countess of the Nosferatu". She is deeply indulged in vampire phenomena (a la Twilight or Anne Rice). In particular, she discusses sucking on the open wounds of her boyfriend, "Dunkan the Morbid", as a means of vampire enactment, but warns about the possibility of an STD (in addition to both of them being sexually active). She has also sacrificed a hamster with Dunkan, and has used her menstrual blood to paint "sadistic sexual fantasies", which convinced her mother to send her to therapy. She is dangerously anorexic, weighing just 82 pounds and having had at least one heart attack as a result. Because she's mad at her parents, Dunkan offers to kill them, and just as she is writing it on her page, police bust in to arrest her, and admits "maybe putting every stupid cunty thought I've ever had for anyone to read isn't the brightest idea."
- Used by a pedophile, out of a warehouse in Bohan, posing as a "16 I meant 18" attractive young girl who talks extensively about her burning desire to have sex with young boys. One MyRoom user confirms that it is a dirty old man, and that he was asked to change his diaper, while "Lil Francis", under a different profile name but more than likely pimpdog1620 below, was fooled and planned to meet the girl.
- Used by Eddie Low, a serial killer that Niko has the chance of randomly meeting in person. He has zero friends.
- Profile used by Francis "Lil Frankie" Ferguson, a stereotypical "Wigger", or a young (usually upper- or middle-class) white male who tries unnaturally to blend in with the gangster rap scene. The boy in particular is the son of an extremely wealthy banker in Algonquin, who outwardly expresses that he wishes he weren't rich or white. He also dramatizes the death of his dog Fluffy, just as a street gang would mourn a friend who was killed. His mother comments on his profile saying she "didn't spend $15,000 a year on your education for you to speak like this. I just hope your father doesn't find out." and that she would consider buying him a new dog. In the Grand Theft Auto universe, "16:20" is the counterpart of "4:20", a ritualistic time of day that many people smoke marijuana (because the in-game clock uses military time and not AM/PM).
In a report on Weazel News, millions of sex offenders have accounts. An old woman states that the site should be shut down; her profile has a picture of herself taking a sponge bath and "no one wants to be her friend". A younger girl states that she has 10,000 "best" friends "who are actually strangers who stalk her".
In an email from Marnie Allen to Niko Bellic, she mistakenly names the site myroom.com, which doesn't exist in the game.
Aside from each person's profiles, there are other stereotypes drawn from MySpace (and Facebook) such as cyberstalking, people's need for other people to comment on their pictures (and cries for attention in general), and dating website spam disguised as women's comments.
By 2013, MyRoom online has completely fallen out of style in the public's eye. No one uses MyRoom anymore, thanks to the introduction of Lifeinvader, and has become, in their own words, a "Ghost town of the internet" and is being forced to sell its domain name. This is an obvious parody of how MySpace gradually became less popular and eventually became deserted after Facebook emerged.
Known Users in GTA IV
- It was mentioned in Chinatown Wars by Chan Jaoming, in the last cutscene of the mission "Whack the Racers". He suggests he would post his victory on myroomonline.

The conniving evil lady, Tanveer makes another attempt at Zoya's life, but this time she's caught red-handed
Asad (Karan Singh Grover) had decided to marry Tanveer (Amrapali Gupta) because he believed that she is carrying his child. When Zoya (Surbhi Jyoti), Dilshad (Shalini Kapoor Sagar) and Nazma (Nehalaxmi Iyer) hear this, they are shocked but finally understand Asad's sudden decision to marry.
While the whole family is upset with the situation, there's very little that they can do. However, Tanveer is living in constant fear that Zoya will somehow steal Asad back. Even though she struck a deal with Zoya – Asad in exchange of her father, Tannu is worried that Ms Farooqui will not keep her word.
After receiving Tanveer's pregnancy reports, Zoya is convinced that the child doesn't belong to Mr Khan and decides to bring the truth out in the open. In frustration, she tries to burn Zoya while she is praying, but Tanveer is stopped in the nick of time by Asad and his family.
Finally the Khan family sees Tanveer's true colors and they are shocked beyond belief. Mr Khan screams at Tannu and throws her out of the house –so does that mean that the road is now clear for Asad and Zoya?
Well no, if you remember, sometime back director Gul Khan told us that Qubool Hai is not about Asad and Zoya. It's about the brothers and their relationship. In addition to that, there were rumours about Zoya being paired with Ayan (Vikrant Massey). Wethinks, the makers will not unite the lovebirds so soon… they will stretch the story and now make it a triangle by bringing in Ayan into the picture. Arrrgggh!
No matter how much logic prompts us, we hope that Asad and Zoya unite… thoda romance to banta hai, right BollywoodLifers!

I will never count Pittsburgh out, but they looked bad last night.

This ordinary-looking piece of jewelry is made of polished silver surrounded by a ring of platinum. A series of spheres of various sizes are inscribed on the flat sides, some overlapping the others like a cluster of moons in the sky. The pattern of spheres rearranges itself periodically, so anyone familiar with the amulet sees a different arrangement each time he studies it. [1]

H.B. delays pet sales ban, looks to promote adoption
HUNTINGTON BEACH – The city may ease into a ban on selling cat and dogs in the city while it works with animal activists and pet store owners to find a way to promote pet adoption services.
City Council members at their meeting on Monday considered prohibiting the commercial sale of cats and dogs in the city, but after testimony from the families and supporters of two local pet shops, city officials decided they would tweak the plan.
Pet store owner Donald Foster told the council they are willing to work with the city. But he said a ban would be bad news for his family's business, Pets, Pets, Pets, which has been in the city for 23 years.
"We'll be out of business in two years," he said.
The council directed city staff to draw up a new ordinance for consideration that would include a two-year phase out of the commercial sale of cats and dogs. Mayor Don Hansen, Mayor Pro Tem Devin Dwyer and Councilman Matthew Harper cast the dissenting votes.
The city will work with animal rights activists and pet store owners to come up with an ordinance that could include allowing adoption services at the two pet stores and helping owners ease the transition. The ordinance will have to come back to the council for consideration.
"This is a win-win situation to me," Councilman Joe Shaw said.
The ordinance was brought forward by Councilman Joe Carchio on March 19 in an effort to ensure no puppy mill pets were making their way into Surf City.
More than a dozen animal rights activists supported the move, but almost an equal number of people came out to support the city's two pet stores: Pets, Pets, Pets in Five Points Plaza and Animal Kingdom at Warner Avenue and Golden West Street.
Huntington Beach is the fourth Orange County city to take up a discussion on the possible ban in recent months. Laguna Beach and Dana Point are considering the possibility as a preventive action; neither city has retailers that sell pets. Irvine City Council members passed a ban in October.
Pet stores that get their animals from puppy mills or other facilities that are considered inhumane have been controversial for several years as federal regulators have uncovered the poor conditions in which many of these animals are kept.
Often the animals are scrunched in cages that are not cleaned. The animals are not walked or let out and are often left to live in puddles of their own feces and urine.
Foster and his partner, August Court, said they get most of their dogs and all of their cats from local families, but Councilman Keith Bohr challenged this assertion.
"When I visited your store, 100 percent of the dogs there were from outside California," he said.
The shop owners said they get some of their dogs from the Hunte Corp., a commercial puppy broker based in the Midwest.
"The Hunte Corporation is one of the most notorious puppy mill distributors," said Janet Kohl, animal cruelty expert. "If (the shops) want to stay in business they need to do the humane thing: they sell supplies, they sell food, they work with animal welfare organizations and they do adoptions."
Supporters of the pet stores said they believed both shops to be reputable businesses that are active in the community and care about the animals in their stores.
Both stores have been in the city for more than 20 years.
"I think the reason we're still in business is because we genuinely care about our pets," said Anna Chong, whose family owns Animal Kingdom. "My family has poured our entire lives into this store. We treat these animals like they are our own."

Medal-winning student wants to help fight cancer
When Lance Shaver leaves for Victoria this Friday, he will take the first steps on the path he hopes will lead to helping people with cancer.
The 18-year-old from Merville, who graduated from Georges P. Vanier Secondary School in June, will pursue a degree in microbiology at the University of Victoria.
"I've always been interested in sciences and wanted to further that into a degree in medical oncology, cancer research and helping patients with cancer," he said.
He says his interest in oncology comes from knowing a lot of people who have been affected by cancer — and knowing that it's hard to go anywhere without talking to someone who's been affected by cancer in some way.
"It's something that affects the whole world, and it's something that I can make a difference in, I hope," he said.
At Vanier, Shaver had the highest average of all graduating students in 2011, earning him the Governor General's Academic Medal.
Shaver finished with 100 per cent in four courses — Math 12, Calculus 12, Biology 12 and Accounting 12 — and scored 100 per cent on his provincial exam in Physics.
He earned a $2,500 provincial scholarship with his high provincial exam scores.
"We're very proud," said Vanier principal Charlie Schellinck. "We wish him all the best in his future endeavours."
Shaver is excited to begin university and is looking forward to participating in different clubs such as the Outdoors Club and the Rotary Interact Club at university.
Shaver says his high marks can be attributed to a lot of studying, and over time, he's learned to study for exams without becoming overly stressed out.
"I studied a lot for my first semester's exams, and that definitely served me very well, especially with physics," he said. "I focused more on relaxing and studying as well, rather than stressing about them."
Between all that studying, Shaver found time to participate in many clubs and programs during high school.
In Grade 11, Shaver was part of the Explore program, and he describes that as an eye-opening experience that taught him a lot of inter-personal skills.
"It helped me strive to be the best I could," he said. "That's when I really started to pick up my academic determination."
While at Vanier, Shaver was part of the Business Team, the Environment Club and the Rotary Interact Club, serving as president for one year and serving as a member of the directors for another year.
Shaver is grateful to everyone who has helped him achieve all that he has achieved.
"Thanks to all my teachers for all the support they've given and everything they've done to inspire me to be a better person, and to all my friends and family," he said.
Vanier's other scholarship winners were Naima Baird of Denman Island, Nicholas Blackburn of Courtenay, Daniel Briggs of Royston, Marin Evergreen of Courtenay, Benjamin Gawley of Courtenay, Anneliese McNaughton of Courtenay, Paul Walton of Denman Island and Andrew Wu of Courtenay.
