Ruby Walsh bewildered by Hurricane Fly negativity
RUBY Walsh has revealed he is "utterly perplexed" by the negativity surrounding Hurricane Fly as he aims to regain his crown in Tuesday's Stan James Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
The 2011 winner was a disappointing third when odds-on favourite 12 months ago, but has appeared as good as ever in three starts this season, completing the hat-trick with his third triumph in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.
Despite his obvious claims, plenty of people are keen take on the Willie Mullins-trained nine-year-old in Tuesday's feature, but Walsh is quietly confident about his chances.
"I know there has been much negativity of late about the horse, but it has left me utterly perplexed," the jockey said in his Irish Examiner column.
"All I will say is that those of us closest to him are more than happy at where he is at the moment."
Having suffered two heavy falls at Leopardstown last weekend, Walsh has not been seen in competitive action since and will not be back in the saddle until the start of the Festival.
He said: "My absence is purely precautionary and I'm 100% ready to go. I left Leopardstown, however, with a sprained ankle and it was badly bruised.
"I could have ridden this week, no problem, but both Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls were anxious I gave it a skip and to arrive fresh and well for the start of the Festival.
"It's a similar situation for Paul Townend, who was also in the wars at Leopardstown. Willie wanted Paul to also head straight to Cheltenham and that is now the case.
"Our whole season, of course, has been geared towards this extravaganza and it is terrific that both Willie and Paul's horses are in the form of their lives.
"That wasn't the case a year ago, when they were just a bit flat. I don't think Nicky Henderson - he had seven winners last year - will find it as easy this time round."

East Africa's high set-up costs worry hotel chains
Posted Saturday, September 29 2012 at 14:58
In Summary
- At the Africa Hotel and Investment Forum held in Nairobi last week, executives of six leading hotel brands — Best Western, Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Three Cities, Kempinski and Lansmore — announced that they are finalising their entry into the Kenyan market.
- The executives attending the two-day conference said the costs of obtaining permits and registering property could unsettle their plans.
- According to the IFC's Doing Business in the East African Community 2012 report, entrepreneurs in the EAC must go through an average of eight procedures, wait 61 days, and pay up to 4.7 per cent of the value of the property in order to register it.
Yet Rwanda's cost of registration is considerably higher, averaging 6.3 per cent of the property value — more than twice the price in Uganda, which is the least expensive in the EAC. Registering property is slowest in Burundi, where it takes 94 days.
"Burundi's land registry has to perform due diligence for the transfer of property to the buyer's name, and might do a field inspection of the land," the report states. "The due diligence alone could take one or two months."
The demand for hotel space is being pushed up by the increasing number of expatriates working for businesses seeking regional expansion.
Rwanda reportedly needs about 6,000 hotel rooms by the end of the year to accommodate the rising number of tourists, but supply is estimated at just 4,260. In 2010, Rwanda received about 666,000 tourists who contributed $200 million to the economy.
Expansion plans
Recently, much of the focus has been on Marriott's new $55 million 250-room, 5-star hotel in Kigali. But this is only one of several new developments planned for East Africa.
Hilton Hotels, already a well-established brand in the region, is looking to extend its footprint. "We want to convert existing hotels to bring them under the Hilton brand," said Patrick Fitzgibbon, the company's senior vice president for development in Europe and Africa.
"It's a strategy that has worked in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. In Kenya, we're looking to do the same in Mombasa and Malindi, and probably build another hotel in Nairobi. We also want to expand into Uganda," he said.
Hilton is planning an additional 19 hotels across sub-Saharan Africa, to add to its existing 33.
The Intercontinental Hotel Group is expanding into Kampala, seeking to cash in on the growing demand for accommodation and conference facilities. The group has partnered with Kingdom Kampala, a company owned by Dubai-based Azure Holdings Ltd, to run the hotel.
The $80million investment, with 303 rooms and 34 suites, is under construction. It joins other international brands already in the city such as Sheraton, Serena, Protea and Hilton.
Kenya's hotel capacity is estimated at 50,000 rooms, but the growing number of international visitors could strain the supply — meaning that the country must remove the bottlenecks that hold up hotel development.
"Kenya's strategy is to bring in these big brands who will either set up shop afresh, or buy into existing facilities, " said Marianne Ndegwa Jordan, the managing director of the Kenya Tourism Development Corporation.
The upcoming hotels are expected to create a bed capacity of at least 4,000 in the next five years. Big hotel chains are said to be interested in buying eight hotels in which Kenya's government wants to sell its stake.
The government's stake in another three hotels — Hilton, Intercontinental and Mountain Lodge — is also up for grabs, although priority will be given to the existing shareholders.

Do you guys think Lucas will ever reveal them?
Do you guys think Lucas will ever reveal them?
No. And I hope not. He has already screwed up Boba Fett's whole mystery to him.
"Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."
I don't think Lucas will reveal it in the films, but maybe once he's done it will be opened up in the EU.
I'm actually surprised that he put Yaddle in TPM, I always thought Yoda would be the only one we see
Mickey Suttle says Yoda is a Whill, and his full name is Yoda D' Kana.
Since he personally knows Lucas, I'm sure its the Gospel truth.
Sorry, I just love making fun of this guy.
i guess we'll see. If this guys is GL friend then why does he ruin the secreats that GL tries to keep.
If you want to find it you have to shop.
i personally dont want to know, i like the thought of it being a mystery, i agree he did screw up fett, but i still love him...(fett that is)
Master Obi-Wan has lost a planet, how embarassing. - the great yoda
I agree. Yoda's species and homeworld should remain unknown.
I don't think this will ever be revealed, but I think it would be very interesting to find out. I can see all kinds of interesting explanations for Yoda's species, their homeworld, and their place in the Star Wars universe.
Interesting, but I don't think that Supershadow guy knows his arse from a hole in the ground.......
Lucas would NEVER allow something like that to happen......
"You will shed tears of crimson"-Vicious (Cowboy Bebop)
i have to say yoda is my fav charcter by far but i think maybe only his spiceis not homeworld just so we can classify him.
Duct Tape...the Force it is like. Both a light side and a dark side it has. Binds the universe together it does!

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the spiteful me-too nor'easter, much of the East Coast looked so battered and flooded, so strewed with toppled trees and stripped of dunes and beaches, that many observers feared the worst. Any day now, surely, the wildlife corpses would start showing up — especially birds, for who likelier to pay when a sky turns rogue than the ones who act as if they own it?
Yet biologists studying the hurricane's aftermath say there is remarkably little evidence that birds, or any other countable, charismatic fauna for that matter, have suffered the sort of mass casualties seen in environmental disasters like the BP oil spill of 2010, when thousands of oil-slicked seabirds washed ashore, unable to fly, feed or stay warm.
''With an oil spill, the mortality is way more direct and evident," said Andrew Farnsworth, a scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. "And though it's possible that thousands of birds were slammed into the ocean by this storm and we'll never know about it, my gut tells me that didn't happen."
To the contrary, scientists said, powerful new satellite tracking studies of birds on the wing — including one that coincided with the height of Hurricane Sandy's fury — reveal birds as the supreme masters of extreme weather management, able to skirt deftly around gale-force winds, correct course after being blown horribly astray or even use a hurricane as a kind of slingshot to propel themselves forward at hyperspeed.
''We must remind ourselves that 40 to 50 percent of birds are migratory, often traveling thousands of miles a year between their summer and winter grounds," said Gary Langham, chief scientist of the National Audubon Society in Washington. "The only way they can accomplish that is to have amazing abilities that are far beyond anything we can do."
Humans may complain about climate change. Birds do something about it.
''Migration, in its most basic sense, is a response to a changing climate," Farnsworth said. "It's finding some way to deal with a changing regime of temperature and food availability."
For birds, cyclones, squalls and other meteorological wild cards have always been a part of the itinerant's package, and they have evolved stable strategies for dealing with instability.
Given the likelihood that extreme weather events will become more common as the planet heats up, Farnsworth said, "the fact that birds can respond to severe storms is to some extent a good sign."
Nevertheless, he added, "how many times they can do it, and how severe is too severe, are open questions."
Among a bird's weather management skills is the power to detect the air pressure changes that signal a coming storm, and with enough advance notice to prepare for adversity. Scientists are not certain how this avian barometer works, yet the evidence of its existence is clear.
As just one example, Langham cited the behavior of the birds in his backyard in Washington on the days before Hurricane Sandy arrived.
''They were going crazy, eating food in a driving rain and wind when normally they would never have been out in that kind of weather," he said. "They knew a bigger storm was coming, and they were trying to get food while they could."
Songbirds and their so-called passerine kin may be notorious lightweights — if a sparrow were a letter, it could travel on a single stamp — but that doesn't mean they're as helpless as loose feathers in the wind. Passerine means perching, and the members of this broad taxonomic fraternity all take their perching seriously.
When a storm hits, a passerine bird can alight on the nearest available branch or wire with talons that will reflexively close upon contact and remain closed by default, without added expenditure of energy, until the bird chooses to open them again.
If you've ever watched a perched bird in a high wind and worried, "Poor squinting thing — could it be blown away and smashed to bits down the road?" the answer is not unless the perch is blown away with it.
Scientists have found that many migratory birds, especially the passerines, seek to hug the coast and its potential perches as long as possible, leaving the jump over open water to the last possible moment. But for birds over the open ocean, hurricanes pose a real challenge, and they can be blown off course by hundreds of miles. In fact, ornithologists and serious bird-watchers admit they look forward to big storms that might blow their way exotic species they'd otherwise never see in their lifetime.
Hurricane Sandy did not disappoint them. As an enormous hybrid of winter and tropical storm fronts with a huge reach, it pulled in a far more diverse group of birds than the average hurricane, and websites like ebird.org and birdcast.info were alive with thrilled reports of exceptional sightings — of the European shorebird called the northern lapwing showing up in Massachusetts; of Eastern wood-pewees that should have been in Central and South America suddenly appearing again in New York and Ontario; of trindade petrels, which normally spend their lives over the open ocean off Brazil, popping up in western Pennsylvania; and of flocks of Leach's storm-petrels and pomarine jaegers, arctic relatives of gulls, making unheard-of tours far inland and through Manhattan.
(At least a couple of these visitors fell prey to New York City's resident peregrine falcons, which either mistook the seabirds for pigeons or were in the mood to try a new ethnic cuisine.)
Most of the visitors didn't linger, and once the storm had passed they took off, presumably heading back to where they wanted to be.
''Birds have tremendous situational awareness," said Bryan D. Watts, director of the Center for Conservation Biology at the College of William and Mary in Virginia. "They know where they are and where they're going, they're able to fly back repeatedly, and they've shown an amazing ability to compensate for being pushed off track."
Researchers have begun tagging birds with GPS devices and tracking them by satellite to gain detailed insights into how they accomplish their migratory marathons and what they do when confronting a storm.
In preparation for a possible offshore wind development project, Caleb Spiegel, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and his colleagues at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management have attached transmitters to the tail feathers of several types of migratory birds, including the northern gannet, a big waterfowl with a spectacular fishing style of falling straight down from the sky like a missile dropped from a plane.
As it happened, one of the gannets was approaching the southern shore of New Jersey at just the moment Hurricane Sandy made landfall there, and Spiegel could catch the bird's honker of a reaction. Making a sharp U-turn, it headed back north toward Long Island and then cut out to sea along the continental shelf, where it waited out the storm while refueling with a few dive bombs for fish.
''The bird has since returned to New Jersey," Spiegel said. "It's pretty much back where it started."
In a renowned tracking study that began in 2008, Watts and his colleagues have followed the peregrinations of whimbrels, speckled brown shorebirds with long curved beaks that breed in the subarctic Hudson Bay and winter as far south as Brazil. Because whimbrels regularly pass through the "hurricane alley" of the Caribbean and other meteorological hot spots, Watts said, "we've tracked many birds into major storms."
In August 2011, the researchers marveled at the derring-do of a whimbrel named Hope as it encountered Tropical Storm Gert off Nova Scotia, diving straight into the tempest at 7 mph and emerging from the other side at 90 mph. Not long after, the scientists cheered as four other whimbrels successfully navigated their way through Hurricane Irene.
The joy was short-lived. In September 2011, two of the four Irene survivors sought refuge from another storm by landing on the island of Guadeloupe, where they were shot by sport hunters. Watts has since discovered to his dismay that throughout the Caribbean islands, hurricane season is considered hunting season, as enthusiasts target the many migratory birds grounded by bad weather.
''There are 3,000 permanent hunters on Guadeloupe alone," he said. "The annual take in the West Indies may be 200,000 birds."
Even the hardiest hurricane wrangler is helpless in the face of a gun.

Three bills being targeting public employee unions are set for their first hearing before an Arizona House of Representatives committee.
Two are being pushed by the conservative Goldwater Institute at Tuesday's hearing to curb what it calls "the abuses of Big Labor." Its proposals require employee union negotiations be done in public and would ban so-called release time where public employees can be paid while doing union work. A third bill would force each city or town council in the state to have a vote on whether to allow dues collections through paycheck deductions.
One union executive calls the bills unwarranted attacks on public employee unions. Roman Ulman of AFSCME Arizona People Conference notes the one requiring public negotiations would only apply to unions and not any other contract.

Michael Roe says Tahquitz High School, which opened in 2007, should become the model in a district where Hemet High carries its name and has 119 years of history behind it.
Roe, 36, who begins his first school year as principal on Monday, believes strongly in his staff, his students and himself.
"One thing I will say to you is that we don't look to Hemet High to be the standard," Rowe said. "It's Tahquitz High School. And that may be a paradigm shift.
"And I make no qualms about it -- we will be the flagship high school in Hemet Unified, and that will be done with healthy competition. But I do believe we have the best teachers, I do believe we have the best kids, we have the best programs on this campus, and we have a principal who knows enough that he knows very little, and hence he leans on the people around him, and the human capital on this site is outstanding. We have teachers here who are ready to break the mold. We're ready."
They appear to have some work to do.
In 2008-09, Tahquitz was 2 points from being last among the district's four comprehensive high schools in the Academic Performance Index, which is compiled using the results of the state high school exit exam and state standardized tests. Hemet was first at 758, followed by West Valley at 728, Tahquitz at 701 and Hamilton at 700.
"There are some brutal facts," Roe said. The gap between English-language learners and other students continues to grow, and not enough students are doing well in science, he said.
Roe is unbowed.
An avowed "systems guy," Roe pulled out an "Organizational Depiction" chart that lists staff members who he says will strengthen, from the bottom up, culture, vision, organization, instruction, curriculum and assessment in a War Room while assisted by a 25-student Kitchen Cabinet.
Roe earned his doctorate in organizational leadership in 2008 from the University of La Verne.
He says the plan will work.
The strategy also includes Wikis and Weeblys and Twitter and MySpace and Facebook.
The premise is that students will be more engaged in learning if they are using the tools that are relevant to them, instead of an encyclopedia at the library. Roe said a teacher will give students a homework assignment where they will research a question, post outside opinions on both sides of the debate and answer two students' responses.
"Why is it that all of the technologies that we have come to count on in our own personal lives for some reason remain far removed from the classroom?" he said.
Phil Pendley, who recommended Roe to the school board before his retirement as superintendent, praised Roe for bringing in "a new perspective in terms of implementing technology for instructional use."
If Roe is on the cutting edge on instruction, he also lived his life on the edge.
He participated in competitions in motocross, tennis and beach volleyball until a motocross crash broke one of his legs at age 25. "The hardware is still inside," Roe said.

Owning a cottage at the lake is a dream for all of us. Figuring out the right way to make that dream a reality is what deeded fractional ownership is all about.
Owning 100% of an expensive luxury asset – like a cottage on the Whitefish Chain – is not the best use of your money. Did you know that according to the National Association of Realtors, the average vacation homeowner typically spends only 39 day at their vacation home and at most average around 55 days per year.*
Today, people are focusing more on "how to experience life" and less about how many toys you can accumulate. There is no satisfaction in maintaining an underutilized luxury asset. When you buy a cottage at Clamshell Beach, you buy a deeded fraction of a cottage. Therefore, you can enjoy just the right amount of time at the lake.
A cottage at Clamshell Beach has more amenities than when you buy a traditional whole ownership lake cottage. Heated swimming pools, watercraft rentals, a full service lodge and more. Plus, because you've only bought the time you need, you will have the financial freedom to do other things with your spare time and money.
A fractional cottage lets you have pride of ownership and investment potential but the costs are divided amongst all the owners – this brings the costs of ownership down. A professional resort management company takes care of the rental, upkeep and maintenance.
Unlike full residential ownership – or even ownership among family members – all the details are taken care of. You don't have to mow the grass, plow the snow, or put the docks in. The financial management of taking care of your cabin is all taken care of too.
You just show up, enjoy every minute of your time and walk away when you're done. This is what "the good life" is all about. A fractional cottage is fully deeded property and sold on a fractional basis. At anytime in the future, you may lend, rent, will, gift, or sell your ownership.
We would love to tell you more about owning a fractional cottage. Contact Us anytime!

WIZARDS-KINGS PREVIEWBy: Jeremy HymanThe Wizards look to win their fourth game in a row as they begin a five game road trip in Sacramento to take on the Kings on Wednesday night (10:00 pm | TV: CSN | Radio: 106.7 FM, 1500 AM). This is their first meeting of the season and they will meet again in two weeks at Verizon Center. For a team coming in at 7-28, the Wizards are suddenly a team to be reckoned with as they are now playing their best basketball of the season. John Wall's return has brought a new found energy to this team and has everyone playing at the top of their game. The Wizards are coming off their best game of the season on Monday night, where they scored a season-high 120 points and beat the Magic 120-91. The real tangible difference one could see came in the third quarter, after the Magic cut a 19 point lead into a six point lead heading into the half. Instead of panicking or letting that breakdown affect them, the team came out and put up a season-high 37 points in the third quarter and set the tone for the second half. This was a welcoming sight to see for a Wizards team that now looks to build on this momentum. The Kings are a team that struggle with consistency, but have a lot of talented players that can be a real threat to the Wizards tonight. It starts with their young big man DeMarcus Cousins. A former teammate of John Wall back from their Kentucky days, Cousins is one of the more talented young big men in the game today. A big body with an array of post moves, his athleticism sometimes gets overlooked because of his size. He has all the talent and tools to work with, but sometimes similar to his team, the consistency is not always there. However, he is on a roll averaging 21.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in the month of January and should be a force to deal with tonight. The Kings are an interesting statistical team in that not one player averages more than 3.3 assists per game, rather it is a group effort to move the ball around. Their backcourt of Isaaiah Thomas and Tyreke Evans can be dynamic and Jimmer Fredette can be a lethal 3-point shooter off the bench. If the Wizards continue to play defense the way they have, (4th best OPP FG% in last 10 games) look for them to get their 4th win in a row tonight. The action kicks off at 10pm.
Bradley Beal is averaging 17.7 points in the month of January and has started to show the nation why he was taken #3 overall in the 2012 NBA Draft. He now is looking for his shot and being more aggressive on the offensive end. The game is slowing down for Beal and sometimes he makes you forget that he is only 19 years old. Tonight will be a good test for Beal as he goes up against the Kings' Tyreke Evans as will this entire road trip. This will be the first long west coast trip for the rookie and should test him both physically and mentally. Evans is the ultimate combo guard who presents great size and skill. Although his scoring has gone down each year since his sensational rookie season in 2009-10, he is still a duel threat when the ball is in his hands. He has battled some injuries and is trying to get back to 100% both physically and from a conditioning standpoint, but he is still a player the Wizards will need to be focused on tonight. In the below clip, John Wall feeds Beal for the jam. In this clip, Bradley Beal talks about beating the Magic and playing with John Wall. |

In honor of State Senator Rob Garagiola's (D- Montgomery County) minimum wage hike dying in committee, I decided to honor him with this week's "Waste of the Week." Garagiola, along with fellow Montgomery county colleagues Delegates Kathleen Dumais (D), Brian Feldman (D), and Aruna Miller (D), are sponsors of SB1025 / HB839 .
SB1025 / HB839 is a bond bill proposal for $100,000 for the Potomac Community Resources Home in Rockville, Maryland. The home, operated by Potomac Community Resources, Inc, was originally founded as a Catholic charity to help developmentally challenged persons function normally in the community. This is a wonderful goal and I'm sure the organization does great work. However, do we need to go $100,000 further in debt in order to help this private charity update a home for developmentally challenged people?
If Garagiola, Dumais, Feldman, and Miller truly care for the center, there is an easy online donation box through which they can donate to the PCRI.
PCRI's Executive Director Stephen F. Riley also happens to be a political contributor to Delegate Dumais, donating $650 in the past few election cycles to her campaign.
For that set of reasons and the ridiculous amount of debt our state continues to carry, SB1025 / HB839 are this week's "Waste of the Week."
Congratulations the Senator Garagiola and Delegate Dumais, Feldman, and Miller for trying to put the state a $100,000 further in debt to gain votes in Rockville.
Feel free to submit your suggestions in the comments section of wasteful spending in Maryland. at Old Line Elephant.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—In preparation for a keynote about the future of mobile technology at Technology Review's Emerging Technologies (EmTech) conference here Wednesday, four panelists had been asked to bring their favorite gadget with them onstage. One might have expected the keynote to become a show-and-tell about Apple's iPad or iPhone 4, or even the latest e-reader. Instead, each of the panelists revealed devices that were slight variations on the same idea—a portable base station used to boost wireless signals.
These might not seem like surprising choices, given that three of the panelists work for telecom companies (Alcatel-Lucent, Bell Labs and Qualcomm), but their selections do say a lot about their preoccupation with the need to somehow supply the bandwidth needed to support all of those fancy multimedia mobile apps that Apple, Google and others are delivering.
"We're looking for ways to relieve network congestion," said Matt Grob, Qualcomm's senior vice president for research and development, who brought onstage a femtocell base station the size of a TV remote. Femtocells are essentially portable cell phone towers used in homes and offices designed to provide an enhanced signal within a 10-meter radius around the device. "We can't just go back to the same methods that we did before," Grob added, in reference to the telecom industries history of building out expensive infrastructure without any guarantee that it will be used to capacity.
Alice White, a vice president at Bell Labs (which is now part of Alcatel-Lucent), likewise brought a small femtocell device onstage. In five years, 40 percent of phones will be smart phones capable of running multimedia apps, she said. Emily Green, president and CEO of the Yankee Group research firm, chose her Sprint Overdrive mobile hotspot as her favorite gadget because, she said, it could pick up 3G and even 4G (where available) signals in her car, turning it into a mobile network. Vanu Bose, president and CEO of the eponymously named Vanu Inc., presented his company's mobile phone base station, which is designed specifically for outdoor deployments and can be rigged to operate off of solar power if other power sources aren't available.
Portable, personal base stations represent a major push by the telecom industry to create a mini infrastructure that it hopes can help satisfy the seemingly insatiable demand for viewing large multimedia files (in particular, Web-based video) using handheld devices, a recurring theme at EmTech on Wednesday. "Wireless has been the fastest adopted technology in history," Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said during his keynote later in the day. "There are more cell phones in use today than TVs, PCs and cars combined."
Femtocells are designed to fill in "coverage holes" that often occur in homes and small businesses, Jonathan Segel, executive director of Alcatel-Lucent's CTO Group, noted during his EmTech presentation Wednesday about mobile apps. In addition, he pointed out that cities have begun to turn to "metro cells" (which provide a range of several kilometers) to offload data traffic in densely populated areas.
Research firm IDATE last week published a report about femtocells indicating that in 2014 about 23 million femtocell devices would be sold worldwide for a total market of nearly $1.25 billion. Each of the major carriers (AT&T, Sprint and Verizon) sells femtocells, with Sprint announcing last week that it has started giving away the devices for free to some subscribers with weak 3G coverage. Femtocells generally cost between $150 and $250.
The trend over time is for mobile phone cells to continue to shrink while providing better service to wireless users. "Because your phone isn't having to shout [to reach a cell tower], your battery life is better," according to Rupert Baines, vice president of marketing for picoChip, a maker of chips used in femtocells. "If the signal doesn't have to go too far you'll get better quality, you're covering less people with each base station and each person is getting more capacity." PicoChip recently introduced a new processor designed to boost even small portable base station signals so they can be used in a variety of public spaces, including shopping malls and airports.

California Ojai
Casual Real Weddings
Mismatched Bridesmaids Outdoor Wedding
Casual Rustic
Black Navy
Being a wedding blogger has put a few super gorgeous spots on my radar, but it doesn't get dreamier than Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. Ojai is just filled with perfect light and romance for days. It's ones of those locales that are totally made for a pretty, pretty soiree like this one. Kim Fox Photography captured the dreamy light and the handsome couple, and we've filled up a gallery with her gorgeous images!
From the stunning bride … In the summer of 2006, Andrew and I met while shooting a movie on location in Las Vegas, NV. I was the lead actress in the film and he was in the camera department. Because I was portraying a 15-year-old, Andrew didn't give me a second look, but for me it was love at first sight. Once he found out I was over 21, however, he fell in love right back and we've never been apart since.
Six years later we were married at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. The Inn is a luxurious retreat located in the heart of the quaint little city of Ojai just minutes from the Southern California coast. As soon as we saw the property amongst the green rolling hills of Ojai, we knew it was where we would say our "I do's".
We chose to have our ceremony outside in the Hacienda garden under a large oak tree similar to the one Andrew proposed to me under. After the ceremony, shuttles escorted our guests to a big red barn just a few miles from the Inn's property. This amazing old barn was a big inspiration for our rustic/chic wedding. Inside we hung a large chandelier and placed comfy, vintage furniture around the dance floor. Outside the barn under strings of lights and the clear night sky, our guests enjoyed a delicious barbecue buffet. The tables were filled with old books, lanterns, and vintage vases that contained a mixture of succulents, big peach and cream roses, and my favorite…peonies. We had fun with a few DIY decorations including table names that spelled "love" in different languages, an old suitcase filled with real sunflowers that held seating arrangements, and my favorite: painted wood cake toppers made by my friend Jenny Smith.
When planning our wedding, Andrew and I just wanted to throw a great party with good food, booze, and music…and we did just that. Guests danced the night away to our amazing band and enjoyed our photo booth and delicious sundae bar. One of my most vivid memories of the evening is dancing with my dad. We started dancing to a slow country song and transitioned to a fun (and very fast) swing dance. Luckily I had changed into my dancing dress and shoes!

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap-Walnut Crust Recipe
The Lebanese Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious Lebanese Recipes and Middle Eastern food recipes) invites you to try Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap-Walnut Crust Recipe. Enjoy our collection of Christmas dessert recipes and learn how to make Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap-Walnut Crust.
We pulled out a few of our favorite EatingWell tricks to achieve plenty of creaminess in our pumpkin cheesecake without all the saturated fat of a typical recipe: nutrient-packed canned pumpkin and pureed nonfat cottage cheese replace some of the cream cheese. A touch of pumpkin pie spice warms up the flavor. For the crust, shop the natural-foods section for gingersnaps without any hydrogenated oil. Simple toasted walnuts are an elegant garnish. Or try making candied walnuts. Just be careful not to eat all of them before they make it to the cake!
12 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 7 hours
4 ounces gingersnap cookies (18-20 1 3/4-inch cookies)
1 cup walnut halves, divided
4 teaspoons walnut oil or canola oil
12 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 16-ounce container nonfat cottage cheese
1 15-ounce can unseasoned pumpkin puree
Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Tightly wrap the outside of the pan bottom and sides with heavy-duty foil to help keep the water bath from leaking into the cake. Put a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath.
Grind cookies and 1/3 cup walnuts to a fine meal in a food processor. Drizzle in oil and process, scraping the sides as needed, until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place the pan in a roasting pan and set aside. Clean the food processor.
Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until the spice is incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until completely smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides occasionally. Beat in vanilla.
Process cottage cheese in the food processor until completely smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides once. Gradually beat the cottage cheese and pumpkin puree into the cream cheese mixture on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and beat a final time to make sure no streaks remain. Pour the batter into the crust.
Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come 1 inch up the side of the springform pan to create a hot water bath for the cake. Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven. Bake the cheesecake in the center of the oven until it's set around the edges but the center still jiggles slightly, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Let the cake cool in the water bath until the water is room temperature. Coarsely chop the remaining 2/3 cup walnuts. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the water bath. Remove the foil. Place the nuts decoratively around the edge of the cheesecake. (Alternatively, turn the nuts into Candied Walnuts and decorate just before serving; see Variation.) Refrigerate, uncovered, until very cold, at least 4 hours. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight if desired.
To serve, remove the sides of the pan. Transfer the cheesecake to a cake stand, if desired.
Tips & Notes
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. | Equipment: 9-inch springform pan
Variation: To make Candied Walnuts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; coat with cooking spray. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large heavy skillet. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2/3 cup walnut halves, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn the mixture out on the prepared baking sheet, spreading in an even layer. When completely cooled, break into clusters.

One of the best known pubs in Dublin for traditional Irish music. We are in on of the oldest parts of Dublin city and one of the most enduring legends surrounding Dublin has to be that of the woman - Darkey Kelly.
For generations Darkey Kelly was known in Dublin's folk memory as the woman who was burned at the stake for witchcraft but new evidence uncovered suggests that although she was innocent of witchcraft she still had a dark side to her character. The discovery of bodies under the floorboards of the brothel she ran in 1761 suggests she may have been Ireland's first serial killer!
Fishamble Street is one of the oldest streets in the city also. Handel's Messiah was first performed here in 1742 and every year on the 13th of April the Messiah is performed free of charge to a public audience.
The street here was known as the official fish market for Dublin until the end of the 17th century when the city markets were moved to the north bank of the River Liffey. From 1680, the General Post Office was located here and remained for 30 years. We are passionate here in Darkey Kelly's about Irish music and culture, with live performances every day of the week. All of our musicians are from the local area and they represent a tradition which has been passed on from generation to generation.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Darkey Kelly's and if you want to know any further details about the local area just ask one of our staff.

Addictive. Great game. Very addictive. One thing I would say to a new player is sending lives doesn't take one of your lives, so send lives! The levels are challenging, but I've managed to get to level 165 without spending a penny. One thing I wish King would do is a way to earn gold bars, or have a wheel thing like in candy crush saga. Paradise bay is my fave King game, but this is a close second.
Cory Lui

Can't save progress using Google Play Games, see where I rank with my friends or see what achievements I've gotten. C'mon devs. Get with the times please.
Jo Walkes

Nicole Richie worked it out in Studio City this afternoon. The celebrity mom and fashion designer was spotted leaving the gym this afternoon. I can safely say that I never look this chic and put together when I leave the gym.
I am REALLY psyched about Nicole and Jessica Simpson's new reality competition series 'Fashion Star'. It kicks off next Tuesday night on NBC. I wouldn't miss this one for anything! Nicole and Jessica aren't the diva types, so I bet it's going to be a fun time.

through the hazy afternoon down to the financial district and Hanover Square – almost at the very bottom of the island – where the streets are narrow and cobblestoned, and the buildings careen above, leaving you walking through windy concrete canyons …
It is impossible to be down there and not remember. Especially after dark because the entire area clears out, not being a residential neighborhood. The streets are empty, and with the cobblestones there are certain blocks where it is impossible to tell which century you are in. It's lovely, but also sad.
There's a huge bar down there called Ulysses which was celebrating its one year anniversary yesterday. They opened on Bloomsday last year – and I was there. (Duh.)
My good friend Aedin, an Irish actress, had been hired by the bar (with a couple other incredible performers and writers and singers) to run the Bloomsday readings, to keep things going.
Aedin and I were in a new Irish play last year, which is how we became friends. She's Irish, and I had actually seen her before we met – in, oddly enough, the film Ewan McGregor produced and starred in about James Joyce, called "Nora".
Needless to say, I own that movie.
First of all: EWAN MCGREGOR. Egads.
Second of all: Ewan McGregor as JAMES JOYCE??? That I should be so lucky having such an event occur in my lifetime…
Aedin played Eva Joyce, James' sister – who ends up coming to stay with James and Nora (played by the miraculous Irish actress Susan Lynch) in Trieste. At first, Eva just comes to help out with Giorgio and Lucia, the two Joyce babies, but it becomes apparent that Eva has actually come to spy on them, and send home alarming reports to the family in Dublin. Eva is HIGHLY disapproving of James and Nora's un-married state, their non-church-going lifestyle, their general squalor. And there is my friend Aedin, sitting at the kitchen table, in a big wide-brimmed church hat, reading her Bible ostentatiously AT Ewan McGregor … who is still in his long-johns, drinking tea, hair scruffy, etc. Completely disreputable and bohemian. Aedin's face is stiff, disapproving, silently condemning. So funny.
Anyway. The day of the first rehearsal of the play, I suddenly remembered who she was. And of course, I grilled her for information about Ewan. "What's he like?? Was his wife there? Is he fun? What was he like to work with? Is he as hot as he seems?"
Aedin answered, in her rough-and-tumble Dublin brogue, "Oh Jaysis, he's feckin' sexy, isn't he?"
Through the tormented run of that show (there were many issues), she and I became fast friends. We played Irish sisters. She was the loony-tunes sister – in a state of arrested development, I was the bitter single sister trying to get away from the family … etc.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Usually strong close friendships develop during difficult shows, shows with problems, with tension, with people quitting, walking out, with bad reviews, etc.
The play itself was wonderful – but everything else was a swirling pit of hell – and through that, Aedin and I got real close real fast.
Ulysses, the downtown pub, is huge – cavernous – dark – with exposed brick – candles – a couple separate rooms – and in the summer, they have picnic tables out on the cobblestone alley, and waitresses circulating. You sit outside, in the middle of a concrete canyon, and have a drink. You are a block away from the East River. It's a beautiful spot.
Happy Hour is INSANE at this pub. I talked with Danny, the owner – I know him from two other venues he also owns: Puck Fair and Swifts, both of them awesome Irish pubs. Danny was trying to organize when he would segue out of the Bloomsday readings, because Happy Hour was about to begin and everything goes insane.
He said, "Well, at 4:20 they'll all be here…"
4:20, huh? That's very specific.
Because it was Bloomsday, Ulysses had an open bar from 4:30 to 6:30 – which … well. I just love it that the bar is in Wall Street, and every single person at that happy hour is making shitloads of money, they're the wealthy elite of this damn country, and there they are, jammed up at the bar to get a free Guinness. Heh heh. Everyone loves to get stuff for free. I won't begrudge them.
I got down there at around 3.
The Bloomsday celebration was being held outside. A trio of Irish musicians were playing, and the picnic tables were filled with hard-core Joyce fans. Everyone had their book of Ulysses. They had been there all day.
Aedin had been reading, sporadically throughout the day, from the Molly Bloom section at the end …
It was a lot of fun, because everybody talks back. It's not a precious thing, a "Oooh, quiet down" thing. It's an Irish celebration, after all.
So Aedin read the whole section about how great it would be if women ruled the world, because this and this and this would follow … and then Molly starts ruminating about Leopold (her husband) – how he goes to whores, and she's afraid he might have passed on an STD to her … etc.
One guy next to me called out, in a thick brogue, "He's been a naughty boy!"
Aedin called back, "He has indeed…"
She would respond to all of it – it was great fun. Raucous, bawdy, comedic – just like Joyce meant it all to be taken.
I met Colum McCann – an Irish writer whose latest book (Dancer: A Novel – about Nuryev) has been garnering great praise. I have heard a lot about him, and recognized him immediately. Aedin and he were co-conspirators of Bloomsday. They picked the readings, they were ring-leaders …
I loved it – because I was with people who knew and loved the book as I did.
There was no need to apologize, to feel the need to defend the book, to have to answer any criticism about it whatsoever … It was a group of fans. A love-fest. And also – there wasn't a soul there who hadn't read the thing. People had certain favorite sections and would call it out as a request:
"Do the list of names then!!" (The 2 page list of names in the Cyclops section … great rollicking fun … Last year a woman read them out, and somehow she made the list of Irish names sound like HIGH comedy – they went on and on and on …)
That kind of thing. "How about the song from Night Town?"
Shorthand. No explanation, no justification … we're there because we're geeks, and we love Joyce, and we are happy and proud of it. Like a Star Trek convention or something, or the geeks who dressed up as Gandalf for movie premieres. It is a COMFORT to be with people who are also obsessed and who do not think you are insane.
Colum came running over to Aedin and murmured, "Do the Gibraltar section of the monologue…"
Aedin flipped through, trying to find the page … I prompted her, "It's right after the part where she talks about her underwear…"
"Ah yes, thank you…"
Colum hired Aedin and myself to come back next year and to do the entire Molly Bloom monologue in tag-team fashion. Starting at around 11 in the morning – it'll take us about 3 hours to do it. Ha!!
There were lots of performers though. Great Irish singers – they would come up and sing stuff a capella – One guy led us all in a rousing rendition of the Night Town song. All of the voices around me, singing in unison, banging on the table at certain points, clapping. These people are my own kind.
Aedin sang a couple of songs, too. Traditional Irish songs, known by the entire crowd. Singing along … There were some people in the group who were wearing eye patches, as a tribute to Joyce's blindness – I was singing along with everyone – and I would look around – at the eye patches, the cobblestone alley, all of the Ulysses copies scattered about, and the random Wall Street folks trying to stop by the bar for a nice drink, and coming upon this scene … Like: What the hell is going on down here? Is it a convention for … uh … people with only one eye or something?
Afterwards, all of the performers gathered at a couple of picnic tables – and normal Happy Hour commenced. By that I mean – a non-Bloomsday thing. But for the Joyce freaks, Bloomsday was far from over. We piled all over these two picnic tables, and a sing-along began. We sang together as a group for … uh … no lie, an hour?? I have no idea who these people are, but I love them all. When I left later that night, we all embraced as though we were the dearest friends.
I hugged Colum McCann like he was my long-lost brother. He felt like my dear friend now, merely because he and I bonded about our love for the musical "Oliver".
We sang Irish songs, yes. And of course, all Irish songs have about 12 or 13 verses. I would only know the first two, but the Irish crazies around me (I was the only American) knew every goddamn verse … It was hysterical. The songs that never ended.
And then – somehow – someone started us on singing songs from "Oliver" – which – well, I won't go TOO into it – but which was one of the biggest influences on me as a kid. I know every stinking word. Every orchestration. Every voice, every nuance. Engrained in my brain since the age of 9.
Clearly, these people had had similar childhood experiences.
We sang "Where is Love" of all things.
I began it, rousingly, and one scruffy Irish dude, a great singer, with Elvis Costello glasses, held out his hand to me for a high-five.
A high-five for "Where is Love".
Scruffy Elvis Costello dude took on the role of conductor, too – making us all sing quieter at certain points … and then making us surge up in volume at the very end … and we all obeyed his commands. Freakin' hysterical.
We sang "Consider Yourself".
We sang "Who Will Buy."
"Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me …"
I took on the role of the soprano strawberry-seller. "Riiiiipe, strawberries, riiiipe … riiipe strawberries riiiiiipe…"
We could not stop. I was introduced to almost NONE of these people. But they were my dear friends.
I'm not exaggerating when I say we sang the entire score of Oliver. Even the lesser songs like "So Long Fare Thee Well" and my personal favorite: "It's a Fine Life."
"Small pleasures, small treasures
Who would deny us these?
Gin toddies, large measures
No skimpin' if you please
I rough it, I love it
Life is a game of chance
I never tire of it
Lead in a merry dance…
If you don't mind havin' to go without things
It's a fine life (It's a fine life)
Though it aint all jolly or pleasure run-ins
It's a fine life (It's a fine life)
When you've got someone to love
You forget your care and strife
Let the prudes look down on us, let the wide world frown on us
It's a fine, FINE life"
It could have been the anthem for the Bloomsday revelers!
We sang "Oom-Pah-Pah" and one of the Irish women got up on the table, and did a little naughty dance … just like Nancy does in the movie.
We cheered her like lusty sailors.
We were surrounded by the Wall Street Happy Hour crowd – and beautifully, some of the suits knew some of the songs, too – and joined in. I saw one gentleman, in a conservative grey suit, Ray-Banz, holding a glass of beer, singing lustily:
I love people.
It was a total BLAST.

Simultaneously, the American Academy of Pediatrics may revise its position:AdvertisementSays the Washington Post,The two evaluations, which are nearing completion, come in the wake of new research indicating that the procedure has more health benefits than previously thought, including reducing the risk for getting the AIDS virus and contracting other sexually transmitted diseases.Critics, however, are unlikely to be swayed in the emotionally-charged debate, and the battle is likely to rage on regardless of official outcome.Advertisement"People care way too much about this little piece of skin," said Mark Alanis of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, who has written a history of circumcision. "At the end of the day, it's unlikely to significantly change your child's life for better or worse."That said, does any parent want to feel she's either mutilated her child needlessly - or put him at risk for disease?

September 14 2009, 10:55 AM
Progressive columnist David Sirota, a nationally recognized journalist who lives in Colorado, has been taking on the conservative Tea Party movement lately, arguing over the weekend on CNN that the group, which wants to kill President Barack Obama's health care reform, also displays "racial undertones." And for pointing that out, Sirota says this morning at his OpenLeft diary, he received a "death threat."
Highlighting these images from a Tea Party gathering, Sirota writes, "there are, obviously, such racial undertones. However, there are many who refuse to acknowledge that simple truism, instead opting to pursue what I call 'dog whistle politics.' I know this not from just reading the swill on right-wing websites, but from the loads of angry hate mail I received after appearing on CNN---including one that was an explicit death threat."
Police, Sirota says, responded to the threat quickly.
He isn't the only public figure in Colorado to be threatened for digging into the intricacies of the health care debate. Last month, Congressman John Salazar received a death threat during a protest in Grand Junction, leading his office to contact Capitol police and the FBI, according to The Pueblo Chieftain.
As for Sirota, he adds, "For my part, I won't back down. The fights we're fighting are too important to let a small minority of fringe assholes on both sides deter us from seeking the truth--and achieving progress."

McDonald's in El Salvador
In December a Salvadoran court entered a judgment awarding Roberto Bukele, a McDonald's franchisee in El Salvador, $24 million in damages from the company with the golden arches. The court found that McDonald's had wrongfully tried to terminate Bukele's contract. McDonald's has announced it will appeal.
The Miami Herald has an article describing McDonald's decade long dispute with its first franchisee in El Salvador:
Operating in El Salvador has never been the golden opportunity Bukele hoped for when in 1972, the University of Wisconsin graduate got the license to open the first McDonald's in Latin America.
When civil war erupted at the end of the decade, Bukele's three restaurants in San Salvador made popular targets. One McDonald's was bombed in 1978; the next year, another was torched, killing two guards.
Two years after the war ended in 1992, McDonald's signed a new agreement with Bukele, renewing his licenses until 2014 and offering a $1 million loan to modernize the restaurants....
The 64-year-old who got a license to open the first McDonald's in Latin America has been fighting a legal battle with the fast-food chain that seems to never end.
McDonald's sued Bukele and his company, Servipronto, in 1996 to cancel their contract, claiming his food quality didn't meet the chain's standards. Five trials and appeals over nine years later, an appellate court in December ruled McDonald's must pay Bukele $24 million in damages. ''Someone told me I was never going to beat McDonald's. And here we are,'' Bukele said.
But the fight's not over yet: McDonald's has asked the country's Supreme Court to overturn the award.
I tried to decide if there are any deep insights to be drawn from this tale. Some will view it as a sign that El Salvador's legal system is not ready to protect the rights of foreign investors. Others will view it as a story of a successful fight against a rapacious multinational corporation. Some will view it as yet another example of globalization and wonder whether any one should care whether there are any McDonald's restaurants in El Salvador. I am not sure there is any moral, but it is clear that this highly publicized dispute has not prevented other US restaurant chains like Burger King, Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut and Tony Roma's Ribs from establishing operations in the country.
