There's a New Law in New Jersey Called The Britney Bill and I'm Obsessed
I generally hate anything and everything associated with New Jersey after some stupid scandal called Bridgegate forced me to hire a lawyer and rack up $22,000 in legal bills when I've never so much as gotten a parking ticket (thanks, Chris Christie) — but that's a story for another day, because there's a new law that could go into effect there and it's called the "Britney bill." And since I love anything and EVERYTHING to do with Queen Britney, I'm on board with this.
Billboard reports that the law, called the "Britney bill," "would exempt stars who play at least four nights in Atlantic City from having to pay state income taxes on all shows in New Jersey that year." It's inspired by a similar law in Las Vegas where Britney (as well as Celine Dion, Motley Crue, and the like) has her long-standing (and hugely successful) residency. The thought is that this will help the hot mess that is Atlantic City by encouraging "multinight engagements" by A-list music acts to play there.
Since my former life was a bit political, you can start yawning and breeze through the finer details about the bill here. It was approved Monday and is sponsored by Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean and Senate Democrat James Whelan.
Kean had this to say:
"There is tremendous value in the ability to consistently draw world-class entertainment here, especially considering widely successful A-lister residencies in Las Vegas, where there's no state income tax. The more than 50,000 fans who paid to see A-list performer Maroon 5 in August gives a glimpse of how Atlantic City can transform into a premier entertainment destination, drawing tourists from the most densely populated Northeast Corridor, two of America's largest cities that are each less than two hours away, and from around the world via nearby international airports."
Billboard adds that "the bill would exempt artists from state taxes not only on their Atlantic City performance but also on shows at New Jersey venues including arenas in Camden, Trenton, Holmdel and Newark… The bill will probably head next to the Senate budget committee."
The problem is the definition of who is an A-lister, but at least it's a step in the right direction. I've never been to Atlantic City but I imagine it to be exactly as it was shown on that episode of Sex and the City when the girls go for Charlotte's 36th birthday and it's gross and greasy, so I don't feel like I'm missing much.
Whatever. It's Britney bitch!

- Court: Oregon Court of Appeals
- Area(s) of Law: Appellate Procedure
- Date Filed: 01-30-2013
- Case #: A146238
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Ortega, P.J. for the Court; Haselton, C.J.; and Sercombe, J.
- Full Text Opinion
Defendant appealed the circuit court's order denying his motion for a relief from default. Defendant originally appealed the municipal court's conviction for interfering with a peace officer, but failed to appear at the hearing. Defendant filed a motion for relief from default claiming, through an affidavit, that he was present minutes after his appeal was dismissed. Defendant argued that the circuit court lacked the authority to dismiss an appeal and alternatively that because he was there a few minutes after the dismissal, he had good cause to set aside the dismissal. The Court of Appeals found that they lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because it did not fit under the definition of ORS 138.053, and therefore dismissed it. The order from which Defendant appealed is not a judgment under ORS 138.053 because it was an order denying his motion for relief from default. As prerequisite for review by the Court of Appeals, the Defendant must have appealed from a judgment or order that is cognizable under ORS 138.053(1). Dismissed.

Question about GE Dishwashers
Posted by dongilliam53 on
Tips for a great answer:
Oct 27, 2017 | Dishwashers
Sep 09, 2011 | Bosch SHU3306UC Built-in Dishwasher
When the Dishwasher won't fill you'll need to check for the water inlet hose, the water inlet valve and the float switch assembly. When the water fills your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. As the float reaches a certain threshold level, it shuts off the flow of water, thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling. Sometimes it can happen due to float valve and on other occasions due to float switch. Inspect the water hose coming to the dishwasher for any blockages. If the hose is not clogged then check the water inlet valve for any clogs, if the water will not even fill for few seconds then certainly the water inlet valve is bad and should be replaced. You can also use a multimeter to check continuity on inlet valve. If you don't get any value on the multimeter then you'll need to replace the water inlet valve assembly. However, if the valve is fine then the float switch assembly should be replaced. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Stanley Park Seawall Trail is a 9.3 kilometer moderately trafficked loop trail located near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

wheelchair friendly
kid friendly
nature trips
road biking

very crowded when I was there.

Nice walk very busy.
Better are the interior park trails as quieter.
excellent walk
Nice easy walk and a must for visiting tourists, friends and family. Can get very busy on the weekends.
Lovely walk with some very good views. Vancouverites are very lucky to have such an amazing park right in the centre!
Scenic beauty along sea wall
The view along this walk is amazing. Lots of great sights and many places to stop for a few and relax. A walk you shouldn't pass up
I wish the description or reviews mentioned it is pay to park ($3.50 per hour).
definitely an experience. pleasant and easy!
Exploring this trail, bike or walk, is an amazing way to spend half the day. Many beautiful views, pit stops along the beach for a dip in the ocean, and even public washrooms.
super family friendly.
I've done the route a few times already and will probably do it a few more times.
Almost 10km, amazing views ! I did several times.
Bikes around the trail. There are some spots where cyclists have to dismount. Washrooms along the way.
Very scenic and stunning.
Bustling with people eager to get out with their families and loved ones for the day.
Biked the trail, it offers some really amazing views. It's a good idea when you want to have a active yet relaxed day. After half way we had a little picnic and then continued.
Early morning is the more serene and blissful time to do it.
Favourite seaside ride. Part of the seawall that extends from the Park to Yaletown, then on to the Science Centre and around to Granville Island all the way to Spanish Banks and UBC.
I highly recommend renting a bicycle and riding in and around Stanley Park. It's a gorgeous place to spend half a day. We actually rode bicycles all around Vancouver including Grandview island. This loop trail is very busy during weekends with runners and cyclists.
The jewel of Vancouver. You get to see some of the best views Vancouver has to offer.
Nice to do when the weather is warm.
Rented bikes and cruised the whole way around. Great day!
Walk or cycle. A must do for anyone visiting Vancouver.
Bring your swimmers for Third beach if the weather is nice.
Nice leisurely bike route
Great place to take a stroll or a leisure bike ride.
A decent walk - could feel it in my legs after. Not as busy as I expected. It's stroller friendly too.
One of Vancouver's main attractions!
Not exactly a trail, just a nice path for walk and/or run
biking one way (counter clockwise) closes gate on trail 11 pm good for wheelchairs and seniors lots of benches to rest with breath taking scenery
Excellent! A pleasant long walk in the park
As easy as it gets.
Flat and path all the way, great for a lunch break run
the entire park is amazing. we rented some bikes and rode along through the seawall. the views were breathtaking. we rode through these steep trails as well which was so much fun

Hey Guys!!! This is going to be my first kids post! Every two weeks (maybe more often..I do what I want) I will be posting a craft project that can be made for your kids or that your kids can make. I do appreciate when you comment and share my posts!
Ok, now let's get to business. If you love pinterest like I do then you know about Quiet Books and if you don't you should check them out. Quiet books are hand made books with different activities that help your kid build sensory skills and learn almost anything you can dream of. This can be from tieing shoes, to matching, to braiding hair. Just trust me and look them up. The problem is that these are really expensive. I have researched them and they seem to average about $40 a page on Etsy. I think its worth it but honestly I can't afford to spend the money on it as a gift and don't have the patience to make it. Soooo I made a "Quiet Mat" instead.
This is a great project for parents with toddlers and the pieces are easily replaceable if lost or destroyed. The mat in this tutorial caters to shapes, numbers and a child's name.
This tutorial is a bit long but you can skip through the reading and follow the steps in the pictures. I do think that you may need the combination of both! Mostly because I want you to read this.
For this project you will need
27×40 White Felt (buy this by the yard. We will use the left over white from cutting it to size)
Assorted Felt squares (3 sky blue, 3 ocean colored, 1 yellow, 4 other colors of your choice)
Glue (I recommend something like gorilla glue but I used a glue gun for lack of patience reasons)
Approximately 1 yard Hook and Loop (velcro is the most well known brand)
Fabric Paint (I used black and white but this is totally up to prefrence)
A Pen or marker that works well on felt
The first step is to cut all your shapes. I will list each shape and what it is used for so you can decide which colors to use.
The Sun- 1 5″ Circle
Shirt- 1 5″x5″ Square
Beach Bag- 1 2.5″x5″ Rectcangle
Beach Ball- 1 3″ Circle
Umbrella- 1 Crescent approx. 5″ across
Kite- 1 Diamond 3″-4″ tall
Star Fish- 4″ star
Turtle- Oval about 4″ long
Ok now we still have more cutting to do..I'll admit that I took a few breaks.
Next we need 10 fish. These will be used for numbers. I drew a 2″ triangle and an oval together. Then I cut about three at a time. I used 5 different colors of felt and made two fish out of each color.
Let's write their name in the clouds. Literally. Using the left over white felt draw two parallel lines 3″ apart. This will help you to keep the letters a reasonable size. Then sketch out block letters. Because "Kharis" is a short name I was able to fit her first and last name (I will only show her first name in the post). You can def adjust the size to fit your needs. Once done, cut those out. Don't stress about markings from your pen you can cover those with paint later.
Below you can see a sketch of everything before I cut them. The oval is the only shape missing. It was an after thought, sorry!
I also learned that even 3 year olds know that its a "crescent" and not a "moon" shape. I thought that they had to level up in life to learn the real name…I should also note that this post was done when I was given this news sooo….
Lay your mat out and place your 3 sky felt squares at the top and 3 ocean ones at the bottom. Glue these down. Now place your items on the mat to play around with placement, Keep in mind that the square and triangle will be people. After playing around I decided on the layout you will see in the following pictures.
Trace each shape on the mat putting your pen just under the edge of each shape. That way the shape on the mat will be a tiny bit smaller than the loose shapes. At this time sketch the line for the kite, umbrella handle, and heads and arms for your figures. Don't forget to include some little arms and a head for your turtle.
I did NOT trace those letters. I just drew a blank line under each letter with white paint. If you are up for it though go for gold. Obviously you have to have top notch artistic skills.
Ok! Now let's break out the paint. Label each shape and number your fish 1-10. I wrote in pen first and then went over with the paint. I also used this time to outline each shape and the letters. I recommend using green or brown felt for the oval instead of white so you dont have to draw the shell.
Use your black paint (or whatever color you like) to trace the lines you drew on your mat. You can write the names of the shapes in them as well if you like, I didn't. Keep in mind hook and loop will go in the empty space though. Wait a few hours for the paint to dry. During this time you can cut your hook and loop to fit the various shapes.
If you trust yourself you can glue one half of the hook and loop to the mat while the paint is still wet.
When everything is dry glue the other half of your hook and loop pieces to your shapes. I chose to glue the sun in place and considered gluing her name in place but decided on velcro so it can be an activity.
Your mat is done! You can hang it on the wall, place it on the floor or let the child drag it around the house!
Feel free to let me know if anything neeeds to be clarified in the comments.

17th November
Today our ride was to the Lytton Arms at Old Knebworth. Eight of us left Wetherspoons (Geoff, David, Frank T, Mia, Sheila, Loraine, Louise and I) lead by Geoff heading via Willian, Great Wymondley, St Pauls Walden, Whitwell, Codicote and Nup end. We didn't take our usual route through the back lanes via Shilley Green, due to the poor road surface which tends to be covered in mud at this time of year. A nice lunch was had, while the heavens chucked it down. As we departed for the return journey the rain miraculously stopped. On our return, because of the threatening weather we came back the shorter route via the Stevenage cycle paths, through Graveley, turning left to Wymondley before heading back to Letchworth. Loraine was unfortunate to get a puncture just after passing Sainsbury's. It had started to rain quite heavy at that point, but we were fortunate enough to have a cycle underpass for the A 602 which gave shelter while Loraine was able to fix her puncture, with a little help and guidance from Frank T. Well done Loraine and Thanks Frank. The weather was building up to the storm 'Barney' so not the most pleasant, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. A return milage of about 26 miles.

Diabetes? Try ayurveda
Name: Bernhard Becker Age: 55 Country: Germany Bernhard's Experience I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2005, and since I have always believed in the healing powers of Nature, I decided to go for Ayurvedic treatment rather than conventional western medicine. nike air max 2017 dames I knew that Ayurveda is a 5000 year old system of healing that has been tried and proved effective over the centuries, and that its goal is total well being of mind, body and soul. So I came to Kerala, a tropical paradise in South India where some of the world's finest Ayurvedic physicians practice Ayurveda in its purest form. Maglie Oklahoma City Thunder My physician told me that diabetes is called Premeha or Madhumeha in Ayurveda , and that over 20 types of diabetes have been identified in this system of medicine. The line of treatment followed is strictly according to the individual's constitution. After a thorough examination, a special case sheet detailing my profile and the pathology of the disease was prepared. My 'prakriti' or type of constitution was identified, and the protocol to be followed determined. Step by Step Procedures The first step was to modify my diet. nike air max thea uomo This involved reduced intake of sugar and simple carbohydrates, and greater emphasis on complex carbohydrates. Rod Carew Jersey Protein intake was be decreased as higher intake can damage the kidneys while fat intake was also limited as digestion of fat becomes difficult due to deficiency of other pancreatic enzymes. asics gel lyte 5 hombre verdes I was given plenty of fresh green vegetables like bitter gourd, string beans, cucumber, onion and garlic, fruits such as Indian Gooseberry and jambul fruit as well as grains like Bengal gram and black gram. The next step was the cleansing program Panchakarma. This included herbal massages, herbal steam sauna, and fasting to cleanse the body.google Following these, I was given an herbal purge for the liver, pancreas, and spleen. Next, colon therapy was administered to cleanse the digestive tract. Along with this was I was also given several Ayurvedic medicines prepared from a combination of natural herbs that maintain normal blood glucose level. In addition, physical exercise, breathing exercises and yoga play an important part in the holistic healing process. Air Jordan 13 Donna Continuing Care Today, I no longer suffer from the excessive urine formation as well as the excessive thirst that use to trouble me before commencement of treatment. lunette de soleil ray ban pas cher My previous weight loss has been halted, and I no longer feel fatigued all the time. The burning feeling in my palms and soles has disappeared, and whatever skin or other infections I pick up heal quickly. LA Dodgers Jersey Of course, I follow the careful regimen that has been recommended for me. I drink at least one tablespoon of bitter gourd juice daily, to reduce my blood sugar. I vary this with a tablespoon of Indian gooseberry juice mixed with a cup of fresh bitter-gourd juice. Another option is to mix and grind seeds of 100 gms of Fenugreek, 50 gms turmeric and white pepper. Goedkoop Nike Air Max One teaspoon of this powder can be taken with a glass of milk twice daily. I have also found that putting one cup of water into a copper vessel at night, and drinking the water in the morning is very effective. I have stopped smoking and avoid sleeping during the daytime. adidas zx flux męskie I am careful about avoiding sugar in any form- rice, potato, banana, cereals and fruits containing high percentage of sugar content.

Jaime Lerner is the celebrated thrice Mayor of the Brazilian city of Curitiba and twice governor of the state of Parana. Trained as an architect and then planner, he is famous for his acts of urban acupuncture, swift, decisive moves to fundamentally address transport, housing and planning issues. Now feted the world over for the success of his projects, I spoke to him about the origins of his ideas.
You are an advocate of recycling came but it seemed to come from a desire to improve the standards of life in slums by keeping them clean. How did you first come to understand sustainability?
I'm obsessed with how to teach children about sustainability from the experience I had in my city with many many issues – we started always with the children. We'd teach the children how to separate garbage and they'd teach their parents. That's why Curitiba has the highest rate of separation in the world. 70% of people do that. The idea is giving the children some way to help through a few commitments.New materials are important but its not enough, you can have a green building but you can't imagine going from one green building to another one through a city that is not green. On the concept of the city that we could be more effective. But you are most effective when you are relating to all the city.
You are now a darling of the environmental movement but how do you understand the word 'sustainable'?
If a city has a good quality of life, it is sustainable. In other words if you want creativity cut one 0 from your budget. If you want sustainability, you have to cut two 0s from the budget.
[It wasn't climate change] it was logic. First my house when I was a student of architecture, at the age of 23 years, I made a project and I made this house. I didn't know it was sustainable but the roof had grass on it. The fire place I use during the day and at night when I go to bed the wall is still warm.It came by logic. The idea of not wasting because one thing I like the most is silent architecture. Good architecture doesn't have to cry 'look at me'. That's the difference between eco architecture and ego architecture.
Do you still consider yourself an architect?
I never stopped being an architect. I started to be a politician when I got involved in the city's issue when I was a student. We had at that time a mayor who wanted widen the streets for cars and destroy the whole history of the city. With the students we made a whole movement for a plan. They made a preliminary plan, they contracted people from Europe and Sao Paolo and in the meantime, I'd finished my graduation and they needed someone and I was contracted by the city to be one of the architects. That's why I became involved as the city. A few years after I was director of planning of the city, a few years after [in 1971] I became the mayor, but because of the political situation I was an appointed mayor at the time.
Did that give you political strength?
No, I was a weak mayor because I could be fired at any time. I could be fired the next day. The problem was that during the military regime they were trying always to fire me because they said I had a lot of communists in my team. It was true, so I was sure that the next week I would be fired. So I decided that whatever we did we had to work fast. I can see that people supported me. They started to believe in what is going on in the city. Every time the state politicians tried to move me, I had the support of people. During this four years of my first term I had the incredible luck to have great professionals in my team, idealistic people. They were a very young staff and I was 33 years old. I knew that we had to be fast. From the weakness of my position, I made a strength. And my motivation was to improve the life of the city. I had no idea to be a politician.
What was it like governing under the military junta?
The Governors appointed the mayors so mayors at that time had some technical background. I was chairman of the Institute of architects, I was president of the urban planning commission. So I had some technical background. Afterwards when I finished my first term I went back to my office. I never thought of being a politician again. I worked in many cities in the world and when I was teaching at Berkeley, California, I got again an invitation to be a mayor again [in 1979] four years after my first four year term-ended.
The New York Times said of Curitiba, 'the city that has been called the most forward-looking in the Western hemisphere is an outgrowth of an era that many Brazilians prefer not to look back on.' How did you feel to be invited back to Brazil at that time?
It was a surprise because in Berkeley I had a lot of friends who had run from the political problems. I told them I had this invitation and said, 'what should I do?' they said, 'Go, Go, Go'. Because at that time the country showed an opening of the regime. So I went back and I remember my last class at Berkeley. I gave a tour with the students. One of the lecturers a great friend of mine Alan Jacobs , he said, now you don't know you were toured around the city by the future mayor of Curitiba. I had a contract. I wanted to finish my time in Berkeley. The second term was also great motivation.
During the 1970s the population of Curitiba doubled, from 550,000 to more than one million people – the highest growth rate of all Brazilian capitals. Did this knowledge influence you to do anything differently in your second term?
I came back with the idea of establishing a grass roots movement. I went every night for 6 months to neighbourhoods and asked them what are your problems and what are your needs. After 6 months, I realised I'm not changing anything. I called my staff and said, it's a shame we're not doing anything. It's time to understand that. We have to understand that strategy is a balance between needs and potentials. If I'm going every night I'll be submerged by needs and needs and needs, and I won't have time to think on futures, on the potentials of the situation. So I decided to work differently, every morning I went to another office and we worked on the potentials and in the afternoon I put on my mayors uniform and looked after needs. And there were a lot of needs.
Amid all this, you were implementing plans generated by the IPPUC, the Institute of Urban Research and Planning of Curitiba.You opted to purchase the floodplain in Curitiba and made parks on it and introduce sheep to the parks to keep the grass short. How did you find time to come up with these proposals?
There were riots and there were all kinds of problems. I went to listen to the needs but with another mood because I knew we were starting to change. That was a method I used. Not a methodology. I'm a very chaotic man but I know that in the mornings I have to work on the future and then in the afternoon on daily needs. But we have to keep this balance. If I'm just concentrating on needs I won't change, if I work only from potentials I will be far from the people. That helped me a lot.
You stood for the Partido Democrático Trabalhista for the third term. The circumstances must have been quite different I imagine…
What did I finished my second term in 1983 and I went back to work. I went to many cities. Havana in Cuba, I went to Caracas. I went to many other cities to work and at that time we had elections in 1988. [A new constitution was established in 1988]. At that time the candidate from my party, he decided to quit because he was doing badly at the polls so they asked me to substitute for him 12 days before the election. 15 days before the election but on the last 3 days you can't canvas. I decided to run and I won the elections in 12 days.
Your parents were Polish Jews born in L'viv who left for Brazil in the 1930s. What did they think of your political career?
I remember my father he didn't like to have me in politics. So he asked me, 'Are you going to run?' And I said, I've just written a statement saying I'm not going to run but the anchorman of the TV was a friend of mine and he refused to read it. So he said, you will have to run. We made a meeting and my friend asked many friends there to help me to say 'no'. So there was a lot of people in my office. All my friends helping say 'no' and a good friend of mine a psychiatrist he doesn't know anything about politics he said to me, 'I don't know what party you belong to even but my feeling is that you have to think what is going to hurt you more. Running and losing? Or having the chance to win and not running?' and I said 'OK I'll call my wife and said I'm going to run. Lets do it.' And I won the elections. I won the election and there was a big difference between being elected and being appointed. You were stronger. You have a mandate.
You devised a system of a large central avenue dedicated to two-way rapid-bus traffic (flanked by slow lanes for cars making short local trips) and, a block over on each side, one-way avenues for fast car traffic. When you started the service, it transported 54,000 passengers daily and it now transports 2.5m people a day.
I was involved more and more with a city but we were able achieve these things because we were a team. My successor was a guy from my team and I was elected governor and re-elected. Together we won 6 elections in a row. After 2002 ok its time to leave.
Bigger cities like Bogota in Colombia have borrowed your idea for buses. The Chinese are looking at it for their inland provincial cities. It's come to the attention of Europeans as well, through networks like the United Nations Environment Programme's Climate Neutral Network. You still are clearly involved with city planning in a consultancy capacity…
I feel free to go to other cities and not have political meetings. But I have one party – the city. I think that the city is the last refuge of solidarity. So many countries they have a very pessimistic approach about cities. Many political decision makers they don't take the city as being important. They see cities as part of the economic problem. The city is economic activities and human settlements, economy and people. Every time you separate economy from people you have a disaster. A city is a structure for living and working together.
Many cities separate people into rich and poor. If you want a city that is human mix urban functions, mix incomes, mix religions, mix ages. London is a great city because of this. Many cities have rich ghettos or poor ghettos. You have people who are living outside the cities who work in the cities – what's the big dfeal in living outside a city? I really believe the future is the city. It is said by many may important people and I agree that this is going to be the century of city. The more a country has a generous view of cities, the more generous view it has of its citizens.
What is the core of your working philosophy?
I'm obsessed about the idea of starting. You cannot have all the answers. If you are trying to wait for the answers you would never start so you have to have the courage to start. That's all innovation is – starting. It's like a trajectory. You start you have to give some space to people and they will correct you if you are not on the right track. So you don't need to have all the answers. You can write a whole treatise on how to swim, move your arms and legs simultaneously, but at the moment you dive in the water, oh its so simple. When I was a teenager I used to read treatises about sex. A few years after I realised its not so difficult all you have to do is dive in.
How do you communicate that philosophy today?
There is one thing that I think is important. When I'm going to a city I ask the political decision makers, or politicians or just the inhabitants about their city. They start with 'the problem is education, health care, safety or whatever. After I'd say 'yes, but what's your dream?' And some of the people that you talk to they don't have a dream. The dream is solving the problem but this is not a dream. I've got so many answers though. From the governor of a city called Perm in Russia. Close to the Urals and Siberia beyond. This governor a wise man, and after when I asked him what his dream was he said, my dream is that the young people will want to stay in this city and not go to Moscow. Now that's a dream.
Because a city that has a dream, and can transform that dream into a scenario that the majority can understand, they will help you to make it happen. What is the problem is the lacking of communication between decision makers and planners, planners and people, most of the planners think they have their whole life. First they want to to do their Phd and then they have their whole life. But politicians have a mandate. He has to do something. I think many cities are making efforts but still they are taking too much time. That's why I call what I'm working in 'urban acupuncture'.
What is urban acupuncture?
Sometime you can see a focal point and you work very fast and from this point you can create a new energy and you can help the whole process of planning. It's not instead. It's too help. It's the same process as acupuncture. I realised after being the Mayor of Curitiba that this is what we did. And with acupuncture, if you take too much time it will hurt you.
I've left politics and I'm working now with this idea. I have a small team and we're going to some places and we stay there for 1-2 weeks and we do a charette with local planners or city planners or students or everyone. We listen to people and leave one or two ideas. If they like it, they can use it. If they don't, there's been no loss of time and no loss of money. We just charge for the trip and our fee. I don't want to waste my time talking about big contracts. But I'm still working like crazy as an architect.
But you are also working on some more conventional projects too, aren't you?
I'm doing a project for a park dedicated to Bossa Nova containing a museum. I was friendly with the people who made the history of Bossa Nova. All the poets and musicians. I was a great friend of theirs so I know the whole story. So now I'm going to do a project that tells the whole story. Bossa nova is the sound track of Rio.
I'm working also on the transport projects for the Olympics in Rio. I'm working on city projects on acupuncture but always acupuncture that is transmitted to architecture. It couldn't be a better city for the Olympic Games because the landscape is fantastic so all they have to do is – they don't need special effects. Nature is the special effect. They don't need someone shooting an arrow.
Do you have a preference for particular modes of transport?
I don't say which system of transport is best. It depends on the city but what I would say is that if you have a subway it should be a smart subway, if you have a bus you have to have a smart bus. Smart taxi. You have that. Smart bike, Velib in Paris that is beginning to happen. Smart car should be a car where you are not owning the car. I have designed a car and we have made the third prototpye. Next week I'm going to run my car in Rio. It's the smallest car in the world. 60cm by 1m30cm. ¼ the size of the smart car.
Now I'm going to run the car in the city and see if there are people who are interested. Because I realise one thing, that I'm fascinated about the idea of quick changes. I don't want to break records but I think you have to be fast. For many reasons: 1. To avoid your own bureaucracy. 2. Once the political decision is made, you have to do it fast or it becomes a family lunch on Sunday with everyone discussing everything. 3. To avoid your own insecurities. Because you have great ideas and then you start to worry. Or think. This is such a great idea – it can't be mine. If your idea is not perfect, someone will do it better. It is more important to start down the road and meet that person. I am not a car designer or designer of street furniture. But I like the idea of low cost things.
Yet you worked as a Governor of the state from 1995 to 2002. Where you not able to work on a much bigger scale with a much bigger budget?
When I was Governor we organised the world games of nature in 1997. It was the only year that we don't have world cups or olympics game. I realised that we had natural resources in my state, like the big waterfall. And a big hydroelectric plant, the biggest in the world. Where you can have the strongest example of the streght of man and nature. We organised in six months the world Games of Nature. We had 60 countries, and 120 TV channels. And I didn't spend a cent in stadiums and arenas. It was nature. Ballooning, rafting, climbing everything in nature. It was an incredible success.
And have you applied some of your ideas to other areas, other cities?
If you have a city, or a part of a city which is run down, it will take a lot of time to restore buildings. That's why I designed a portable street. We had a place in Sao Paulo where no-one wants to live. It's called Crackland in the city – it's really sad seeing the kids there who are taking crack. During the day though there isn't too much of a problem, because there's a lot of people but at the night time the place is a mess. Despite being a vibrant place during the day no one wants to live there because it is abandoned to crack users in the evening. If you could bring street-life maybe the owners of the buildings will start to restore by themselves. So the idea was putting a portable street in the area on Friday night and moving it on Monday. We worked with this idea for 2 years. So now we are working on the portable street. It's been really successful and now we are going to use it in Rio.
And abroad?
In New York I proposed colouring the steam that escapes from the subway on special days. It's very easy to do. The city is not just traffic and buildings. It's light, sound everything. I had a friend who was a great tuner of conversations. He was a great guy. If you start a bad story he moved it on. He was a good tuner. I like the idea of being a tuner of the city. In Brasilia you have a great formal example of modern architecture but the way people commute in and out of the city is chaos. It needs tuning.
There was a Japanese guy who came from Osaka to Curitiba. I didn't know him because he didn't speak portoguese and he didn't have his professional certificate. But I hear that there was this Japanese gardener who knew everything. This guy he knew everything about gardens after I heard his story a few years after I invited him to be director of gardens at the city, then the secretary of environment in the city and then at the state level so he can make a park in two months. When I was relected so I called my team, and said would you want to take this position or that position again. Everyone would say 'Thank you Mr. Mayor for your confidence. I'm very honoured that you have put your faith in me.' So I called him up. His name was Hitoshi Nakamura and I said to him, I want you to be my Secretary of Environment, and he said, 'Uh-huh' and put the phone down. He's a crazy man.

Today Ms M is sharing with you a new place to brunch in Manchester. A wonderful addition to the Northern Quarter, that serves a hearty breakfast, Nibble NQ!
Recently I was invited to Nibble NQ to try out the re-vamped café now that it has rebranded (previously Blue Daisy Café). I hadn't visited Blue Daisy, but was looking forward to seeing what Nibble HQ had to offer.
To drink, Mr C had the Bog Standard Coffee and I had the Takes Two to Mango smoothie. Mr C's coffee was as bog standard as advertised – not to say that it wasn't nice, it was – but that it was just a coffee. Personally, I love the fact that the coffee isn't taking itself too seriously and really enjoyed hearing other people order their 'bog standard' coffees. Maybe I'm just easily amused, but from the off, it feels like Nibble NQ will settle into NQ life. But enough on semantics, what about my smoothie? Well, as a huge mango fan, it didn't have enough mango in it to my taste, but certainly a very nice drink.
To eat, I had the Meatie Brekkie and Mr C had the French Toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup. The Meatie Brekkie is gorgeous – the sausage and bacon are so tasty. Not the usual I've come to expect from a cooked breakfast, it had really good quality meat! Mr C's French Toast was also amazing, obviously with the same fab bacon, but the sweet and salty really complemented each other. A seriously great place to go for brunch in my opinion. But make sure you get there early as it's not the biggest place!
Obviously, no brunch is complete without dessert. We then had a slice of Banana Loaf and Blueberry Cake. Both were excellent. We were also given a couple of brownies to try – one uber-indulgent and the other made with avocado. Unfortunately we devoured those too quickly to get a photo, so you'll just have to visit yourself if you want to see what they're like! (I'd definitely go for the triple chocolate one, brownies shouldn't really be "good" for you!)
They've got a great lunch menu too – yes, I have been back for lunch (I do only work around the corner), twice… I will definitely be going over to treat myself with a brownie every so often (they're really naughty but taste sooooo good!) FYI Nibble NQ is a great place if anyone is veggie, vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free etc.
Have you checked out Nibble NQ? What would you order? Let me know in the comments,

P.S. Ms M received her brunch in turn for an honest review. As ever all words, photos and opinions are her own.
P.P.S. Nibble NQ is located at 36 Oldham St, Manchester M1 1JN.

In remarks to various sympathetic pro-Russian networks, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused the West of working with the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, and claimed those not aiding his political survival were helping "terrorists."
Assad claimed it was "reality" that Western factions were working with the al-Nusra Front, without specifying which Western states other than the United States. He also accused the Turkish government of working with Sunni jihadist groups against him, which evidence suggests is likely. He failed to mention that his policies, which caused the civil war, allowed these groups to form and expand. Assad said:
But as for Western cooperation with the al-Nusra Front, this is reality, because we know that Turkey supports al-Nusra and ISIS by providing them with arms, money and terrorist volunteers. And it is well-known that Turkey has close relations with the West. [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan and [Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet] Davutoglu cannot make a single move without coordinating first with the United States and other Western countries. Al-Nusra and ISIS operate with such a force in the region under Western cover, because Western states have always believed that terrorism is a card they can pull from their pocket and use from time to time. Now, they want to use al-Nusra just against ISIS, maybe because ISIS is out of control one way or another. But that doesn't mean they want to eradicate ISIS. Had they wanted to do so, they would have been able to do that. For us, ISIS, al-Nusra, and all similar organizations which carry weapons and kill civilians are extremist organizations.
Assad also insisted countries in the coalition, like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, "provide cover for terrorism," which forces the West to stand and fight against terrorism, and said his regime would have joined the coalition, but the countries shot down the suggestion when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov begged them to accept Assad as a partner.
"There's not a single coordination or contact between the Syrian government and the United States government or between the Syrian army and the U.S. army," he claimed, adding:
This is because they cannot confess, they cannot accept the reality that we are the only power fighting ISIS on the ground. For them, maybe, if they deal or cooperate with the Syrian Army, this is like a recognition of our effectiveness in fighting ISIS. This is part of the willful blindness of the U.S. administration, unfortunately.
The president blamed the West, not his brutal dictatorship, for al-Nusra Front and ISIS.
"They are the third phase of the political or ideological poisons produced by the West, aimed at achieving political objectives," he declared. He then said:
The first phase was the Muslim Brotherhood at the turn of the last century. The second phase was al-Qaeda in Afghanistan in order to fight the Soviet Union. And the third phase is ISIS, the al-Nusra Front and these groups. Who are ISIS? And who are these groups? They are simply extremist products of the West.
Fighting between ISIS, al-Nusra Front, and Assad's forces have forced thousands of citizens to flee to Europe, causing a massive migrant crisis. He once again blamed the West, not himself, for the crisis since they allegedly support terrorists.
"It's not about that Europe didn't accept them or embrace them as refugees; it's about not dealing with the cause," he said. "If you are worried about them, stop supporting terrorists. That's what we think regarding the crisis. This is the core of the whole issue of refugees."
Assad failed to note that people are also fleeing the human rights violations committed by his own administration, as well. In August 2013, Syrian forces attacked two areas in Ghouta with sarin gas, a chemical weapon. Initial reports put the death toll at 300, but people continued discovering bodies days after the attack. At the end of the month, The Washington Post reported that at least 1,400 died, including many children.
Syrian rebels accused Assad of another gas attack in Damascus the following month. They could not identify which chemical was used in the bomb, but published a YouTube video of people struggling to breathe. Also, the Syrian Air Force struck a field hospital and school in Aleppo, killing at least 30 people.

Luigi Colani is one of the great mavericks of 20th Century design.
He has applied his philosophy of bio-dynamic design to many areas � from the design of aircraft, trucks and houses, to furniture, cameras and ceramics � and has, more than any designer, put organic design firmly on the contemporary agenda.
Born in Berlin in 1928, with an art school training supplemented by studies in aerodynamics, he began his career working in the car industry. He set up his own studio in the 1960s where he made a name as the king of the customizers, with his own baroque idiom of boldly sculpture forms that spilled from cars to aircraft, and then into furniture and industrial objects.
From 1982 he began to work in Japan, and his swooping sculpted forms transformed among other products, cameras for Canon, and headphones for Sony.
Luigi Colani: Translating Nature will be the first exhibition of Colani�s work in Britain.
