The owner of Amber Village, a small chain of Asian restaurants, is being sued because he canceled a gay couple's wedding citing "bad feng shui." According to the Daily News, Mr. Fong, the senior manager of Amber Village summoned the manager (Tommy Ho) planning the wedding with the couple and told him to cancel it.
"Fong was visibly angry and told Ho that he didn't want any 'gay parties' at Amber Village," the lawsuit reads. "Fong also told Ho that it's 'very bad' for Amber Village to book 'gay parties' and that big groups of 'gay partiers' are especially bad for feng shui."
The couple is seeking unspecified damages. Amber Village — which closed in June — also never refunded their deposit.
However the manager of the Christopher Street location told the Daily News he was surprised by the allegations.
"Feng shui has to do with luck and fortune. It has to do with where do you put your plants and flowers, your furniture. It has nothing to do with who are your clients," he said.

Yesterday I posted about some impacts the sub-prime mortgage meltdown was having on commercial real estate, linking to stories and observations about changes in the CMBS and CDO markets.
Today the New York Times has a blurb talking about how KKR is trying to resist banks attempts to tighten credit.
As the debt markets weaken, making financing buyout deals more expensive for investment banks, Kohlberg Kravis has refused to pay higher interest rates for the bonds and loans that are the lifeblood of those transactions, Reuters said, citing unnamed sources. "If they keep giving it to investment banks, nobody's going to want to write a commitment letter," one unnamed banker told Reuters.
Meanwhile, the firm's prospectus for its initial public offering clearly states that Kohlberg Kravis intends to reduce its reliance on those same banks to finance future transactions.
Kohlberg Kravis declined to comment to Reuters. But sources told Reuters that the company's belief is that the banks agreed to lend them the money — end of story. It is not the firm's concern if the banks cannot syndicate the debt.
This is doubly interesting in light of KKR's rumored interest in Macy's and because of its plans to follow in Blackstone Group's footsteps and conduct an IPO later this year.

AFC probes explosive thrown onto field in Iran
Asia's football governing body Monday said it is looking into possible disciplinary action over an incident in which an explosive was tossed on the field during an AFC Champions League match in Iran.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said the match commissioner's report had been forwarded to AFC's legal department for disciplinary investigation. The match ended in a draw.
The incident happened on Wednesday during a quarterfinal match between Iran's Foolad Sepahan and Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli. No one was hurt.
It happened at Iran's Foolad Shahr Stadium in the 64th minute, forcing the match to be stopped for five minutes.
AFC said some objects were thrown by spectators of host club Foolad Sepahan towards the assistant referee near the corner area, including a firecracker.
"One of the objects was a firecracker which exploded," AFC said.
A video of the incident showed the home team's player Adel Kolahkaj, picking up the object in a relax manner and tossing it outside the pitch near an advertising hoarding.
It immediately exploded upon impact with the ground, sending the players and officials running for cover.

Free CNA Classes In Pittsburgh?
Does anyone know where I can get free CNA training in Pittsburgh, PA?
My ultimate goal is to become an RN but I plan to start by getting my CNA so that I can have living expenses. I cannot afford tuition.
About terraaus
Joined: Aug '06; Posts: 3Aug 28, '06A lot of the nursing homes around here offer to send you to classes or bring the instructors in to you in exchange for an employment committment. I would check on their websites or with their HR departments.Aug 28, '06Yes, there are places that offer to pay your tuition if they would like to hire you. Look around in your area, interview for a job and see about the possibility of either tuition reimbursement or the company paying for your tuition.
Please keep in mind if you decide to go that route that you are probably (dare I saw "definitely") obligated to work for that company for a period of time. If you leave before that time period is up, you'll have to reimburse the company for your training.
Best of luck to you!

What's the Latest Development?
Theories of evolutionary biology have a dizzying ability to explain the current state of human affairs in terms of what was necessary very early on in our species' heritage. But the power and agility of our brain was by no means necessary to hunt and kill animals, so why did the thinking organ become such an overachiever? According to Tufts University neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf, our brain has what engineers call an open architecture, allowing for the development of "new connections among structures and circuits originally devoted to other more basic brain processes."
What's the Big Idea?
There are two essential capabilities that allow our brain to create new connections using basic architecture: An ability to navigate spacial terrain and to recognize familiar shapes. "The navigation module enables us to orient ourselves spatially by registering the orientation and relative distances of walls and other features of our surrounding area. With the shape-recognition module, our brain intuitively uses angles and lengths to register the shapes of small 2-D and 3-D objects." Researchers say the cost of such powerful brains is a long childhood, during which we wire together specialized brain modules as we learn to do what adults manage without effort.

What is a party without somewhere to sit. Don't worry we have you covered. Metal Chairs some scratched and some have small dents this is why they are discounted below the cost of our new plastic chairs. Does not affect seating and are great still for back yard events. Would not rent for wedding or corporate event unless you are palining on covering them.

Mineola Hotel and Lounge patrons view what was revealed after a back wall was torn out of the building's bar Saturday in Fox Lake. (Shaun Sartin / For the Chicago Tribune)
The owner of a historic Fox Lake restaurant/bar unearthed a little of the building's history Saturday night, discovering an old bar that hadn't been seen for more than 60 years.
Pete Jakstas Jr., the owner of the Mineola Hotel and Lounge in that Lake County community, recruited some help to tear down a wall built in the early 1940s and invited a crowd of people to a party to watch. As legend has it, the Mineola is haunted and was once a weekend spot for Al Capone. Built in 1884, the structure at 91 Cora Ave. is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Thursday on Fox News Channel's "Special Report," Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer weighed in on Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's foreign policy speech earlier in the day.
Krauthammer had argued if the speech had been given by one of Trump's GOP primary opponents, it would have been more effective. But given it came from Clinton and given her track record, it lacked the same effectiveness.
"The problem is she delivered it," Krauthammer said. "You're looking at her and you think, 'This is the worst person the Democrats could have chosen to deliver the message,' because you look at her and you think 'Benghazi, Russian reset, the disastrous withdrawal from Iraq.' And then she ends up — what's her positive? Defending the Iran deal."

Tips for calcium consumption in your pregnancy
The goal is to get 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily. 3 to 4 servings of dairy per day will allow you to meet this requirement.
Calcium-rich dairy foods include milk (300mg / 1 cup), yogurt (300 mg / 1 cup), and cheese (200 mg per 30g of yellow cheese).
For those women who face difficulties in drinking milk, there are many calcium-fortified juices containing the same amount of calcium per cup as milk.
Consult your dietitian in order to attain a complete plan for each trimester of your pregnancy.

The world of iPhoto is no more a perfect place than the real world. No one, iPhoto's developers least of all, wants problems, but bugs are a fact of life, and you may have a problem with iPhoto at some point.
One advantage iPhoto has in this respect is that it runs only under Mac OS X, which boasts a feature called protected memory. That means that if one program, such as iPhoto, crashes, no other program should be affected. Also on the positive side is the fact that iPhoto saves your changes frequently and automatically, so you're unlikely to lose much work even if it crashes. Put simply, if iPhoto crashes, just relaunch the program and pick up where you left off. If the crashes happen regularly, you may need to do some troubleshooting. One way or another, keep good backups! (See "Backing up Your Photos" in Chapter 2, "Importing and Managing Photos.")

Dispatches from along the Boston Marathon route, by the Globe staff.
NATICK — Businesses along Main Street in Natick Center, less than a block away from the Marathon route, flourished today: Comella's, a popular Italian pizza and sub shop, had a constant line during lunchtime, and managers at Java's Espresso Bar and Cafe said they saw triple the revenue from the event than a normal weekday.
"We've been here for 17 years," said Java's Cafe manager James Shapiro, "and there have been more people here for this Marathon than there has been for a while."
As afternoon temperatures rose into the 60s, runners thinned out along the course in Natick, as did the crowd that had clogged the sidewalks of Route 135 for hours during the morning.
That didn't stop Kate Sullivan of Natick, clad in an electric blue Boston Strong shirt, from whole-heartedly cheering on runners from the sidelines.
"I come every year, but it was particularly important to come this year," she said as she continued clapping for straggling runners. "It was absolutely devastating last year, that anyone would take advantage of such a great event like that."
Sullivan said she felt safe at this year's race, given the 2013 events, and pointed out that she saw more spectators in Natick than in previous years.
"I only hope there's as much support from people every year," she said.
As the last Marathon competitors brought up the race's rear just after 2 p.m., volunteers began raking and shoveling hundreds of discarded water cups into trash barrels. Public Works employees curled up the yellow barricade rope and towed away the orange cones. Natick Center's sidewalks emptied, and normal traffic resumed along Route 135.
A few moments after 2:49 p.m., when the bombs exploded last year, two women continued to sit leisurely together in their fold-up chairs along the Marathon route, watching as zooming cars replaced the morning's zooming runners.
WELLESLEY — The Scream Tunnel is more like a corridor. Students and visitors stood on the college side of Route 135.
Some Wellesley girls wore the official white-and-blue Wellesley Scream Tunnel 2014 T-shirts. Others wore tank tops and flipflops, and leaned over the barriers, screaming for a kiss.
Freshman Brenna Carber, 19, stood waving a sign, "Kiss Me, I'm a Vegas Girl." She learned quickly that scream-and-kiss is not for the faint of heart.
"I need some water," Carber said, taking a break just after noon. "I need to get ready for Round Two."
Senior Abby Kanyer, 22, a chemistry major from Milwaukee, waved a sign reading, "Kiss Me if You (heart) Beer."
Several runners planted kisses right on her lips.
"Guys love beer," Kanyer said with a laugh.
She insisted the runners were responding to her crafty message, and not her spaghetti-strap camisole. "I had a sweater over it, but it got hot," said Kanyer, an aspiring brewer.
All the screaming and kissing is a time-honored tradition at Wellesley, known for educating smart, strong women.
Kanyer thinks the tragedy at last year's marathon drew more students out to cheer this year.
"I feel like the students really rallied to get out here today," she said.
Earlier, as they leaned over metal barricades, Wellesley students rang tiny cowbells and shouted into small blue megaphones bearing a "W." They waved signs, and cheered for motorcycle cops and State Police vans patrolling the route.
But the loudest cheers came when the first elite women runners passed by after 10 a.m. They drew appreciative smiles and a few handslaps from runners.
"Go, ladies!" one male spectator shouted.
As the elite male runners arrived at 11 a.m. the screams and bells grew louder and longer. There were plenty of kisses on offer.
Tildy Banker-Johnson, 22, of Falmouth, waved a sign reading. "Kiss me. I'm a red-headed senior."
"I've gotten one kiss so far from a camera guy," Banker-Johnson said, referring to the media, just after 10 a.m.
In 2012, Banker-Johnson collected 57 kisses, her personal best. "I've gotten them on my lips and cheeks from runners who stopped," said Banker-Johnson, who has flowing red hair. "But if they're just running by, they can land anywhere. I've gotten them on my eyes, glasses" — and other body parts she declined to identify.
Gabbie Van Tassel, 19, a sophomore from Frederick, Md., had pretty good luck collecting kisses last year, when she waved a sign "Kiss Me. I'm sexually frustrated."
This year, she used the sign again, but added the word "still."
Enthusiastic crowds at Wellesley College
FRAMINGHAM — Few in Framingham could claim a personal connection to as many runners as 7-year-old Alexander Teixeira, who stood in a relatively calm spot along the race route with his left arm outstretched to catch the hand of any runner in need of a little encouragement.
About an hour into his effort, Alexander estimated the number of hands that clapped his as "maybe ... 1,289."
His mother, Bruna Brollo, and 5-year-old brother Emmanuel observed from a few feet away.
"He's holding his arm because he's been doing it for so long his arm's getting sore," Brollo said with a laugh.
"Alexander loves sports and he's very outgoing," she added.
Earlier, a few hundred yards down the road, runner Todd Green stopped to hug his wife and their three children, ages 8, 11, and 13. "You want to come with me?" he asked the children.
An avid runner who has run the Marathon several times, Green last ran alongside wife Cindy Green in 1996.
Cindy Green began to tear up as she explained that the family lives in Pittsburgh, but she is from Boston, and they wanted to come back this year as a tribute to the city and the institution of the Boston Marathon.
"This is the king of the marathons. This is the special one," she said. "I really wanted my kids to see it because in Pittsburgh people do support the marathon, but it's not like this."
Hundreds lined the route, clapping and cheering as athletes with disabilities wheeled and ran by, many on prosthetic legs.
The first cluster of the elite women passed the Framingham commuter rail station at 10:05 a.m., drawing whoops and wild applause.
Elena Brini, 36, had come all the way from Milan, Italy, to cheer on fiancé Carlo Parazzoli.
She said Parazzoli, 49, had last run in Boston several years prior but was drawn back after the events of last year.
She explained that no crowds gather to witness the marathons in Rome and Milan, where residents mostly complain about streets being shut down to vehicular traffic. "Here, it is the opposite way around."
ASHLAND — Three-year-old Caden Kendall and his dad Paul Kendall were perched atop a ladder holding two handmade signs, "BOSTON" and "STRONG" painted in the familiar blue and yellow colors of the Boston Marathon.
Runner after runner looked up, shouted the words, raised a fist, gave a thumbs up, or nodded toward the two along the road just shy of the three-mile mark in Ashland.
"It's really been special to see," said Tricia Kendall, who made the signs last night for her family to hold.
"There is a different energy this year," said Jeff Morris who grew up in a house on the route and hasn't missed a race in decades.
"This year they all have something different to run for, you can feel it, it's obvious," he said.
Steven Pierce has a long tradition of watching the race with a big bunch of friends who gather at a home along the route in Ashland.
"This is our seventh year," he said.
When asked whether this year will be special, Pierce simply unzipped his down vest to reveal his T-shirt.
"Dorchester Strong," it reads.
Pierce lives right off Peabody Square in Dorchester, not far from the Richard family, whose son, Martin, died in the bombings.
"It's going to be emotional," he said. "I can't believe it's been a year. It felt good to be a part of that community [in Dorchester], where everyone really cares about each other."
BROOKLINE — Shruti Saraf, a manager at TD Bank, handed out yellow and gold pins. She took them out of a clear plastic bag and pinned them on T-shirts and fleece jackets. In between, she rings a black cowbell.
"Lots of people want these, especially the Boston Strong," Saraf, who works in Brighton and lives in Brookline, said around noon, after waves of elite runners had breezed through.
She recalled how everything was shut down last year after the bombings. The area was quiet and desolate. Fear loomed. But not this year. Washington Square thumps with people.
"I love this," she said. "The energy is perfect."
The crowds had gone ballistic as the female elite runners started going by around 11:35. They shook their cowbells even harder and screamed louder under a warm sky.
Sisters Christine and Mary Ellen Laura of West Roxbury held a blue sign made for their niece Laura Wiatt. They planned to wave it when she passed. It had leopard-print duct tape and three cut-out hearts. One was red.
After last years's bombing, Wiatt was inspired to run, her aunt said.
Just then a pack of servicemembers ran by. One was lagging and walking.
"Come on, sergeant!" yelled Doug Mitchell of Newton.
Mitchell ran Saturday with a band of military members called Tough Ruck, who run with heavy backpacks. They used to run in the marathon but couldn't do it this year because of the stricter rules.
When he saw the soldier lagging, Mitchell's voice rose again.
"It's important to me because it was something I can do," he said. "I want them to know they are remembered. And we still care."
The elite male runners seemed to sprint by. The crowd roared with each passing athlete.
"Such a sight to behold, " Christine Laura said. "The smells, the sight, the scenery. It's a sign the city is coming together."
NEAR THE FINISH LINE — Colleen Piccone, 62, of Rochester, N.Y., was standing in the shadow of the "photo bridge" at the finish line today with her daughter, Kelley Monachino, 33.
Piccone ran last year's Marathon but was stopped before she could finish. She had less than a mile to go. "My Garmin said 25.81" miles, she said.
But she didn't really have a sense of just how close to the finish line that was until this year when she returned to the spot where she was stopped and made her way to Boylston Street.
"I couldn't believe how close I was," she said, wearing last year's blue-and-gold Marathon jacket.
The 2013 race was her fifth. This year was supposed to be her sixth, but a pelvis fracture kept her from running.
"I was almost through all the long runs when it happened," she said of her fracture, which occurred in mid-March. "I cried for 10 minutes, and then I started thinking about the people who were hurt last year."
She wanted to push through, but Monachino, a physician's assistant, said no. So instead of running, Piccone is cheering on four friends.
And next year?
"We'll see," she said.
"This was supposed to be her last," her daughter responded.
Cheering crowds at Boston Marathon finish line
BEACON STREET — Sharad Chand didn't let the fact he had to dress for work in a suit and tie dampen his spirit. Under his sports jacket he wore a very green, very noticeable Boston Strong T-shirt.
"We call this business Marathon," joked Chand, who also carried yellow-and-blue balloons as he cheered runners around 1:30 p.m.
Chand is general manager of the Courtyard by Marriott in Coolidge Corner, where as many as 85 runners are stayed last night. He said he's been wearing his green T-shirt since Friday in support of both this year's guests, and those runners who stayed last April.
"All of my guests came back terrified last year. What better way to show support. We made Boston Strong stickers and passed them out to all our guests," he said.
The balloons were for a runners' reception table he and his staff were racing back to the hotel to stock with energy bars and drinks.
NEWTON — Atop Heartbreak Hill this morning, a group of officers was standing around when an out-of-town officer approached. "Hey, Watertown," one said, looking at the patches on the stranger's arm, an obvious emphasis in his welcome.
On this day, a lot of things have an obvious emphasis.
It was hours before the first runners would hit this symbolic spot 20 miles from Hopkinton, try to put the longest and last of the Newton Hills behind them.
There were new barriers and new parking restrictions, and a substantially larger police and military presence than in previous years.
But the party started, as it always does in this area near Boston College, very early.
Midway up Heartbreak, a crowd gathered to watch a huge dance party next to a DJ from Lululemon, featuring dozens of girls in its yoga pants. Young men in BC T-shirts carrying suspicious plastic cups moved through the crowd.

Meanwhile we have both taken a step towards spring. Robin planted some tomato seeds. He is not an expert at it and has been told by someone that is that it is almost a worthless endeavor. "House grown seedlings are leggy and weak." "Just wait until May and you can get a dozen healthy plants for less than you are spending on seed, soil, tray and cover. "
He has a few sprouts. I tried to encourage him by showing him how they can be at a cool window for more light in the day time but want to be covered and sitting away from cold window at night. He is choosing to grow them...his way.
So what's a wife to do, other than step-up and start her own tomatoes? Beginning with a three year old seed package. (My dh is kind of obstinate about "fresh" seeds). Grabbed a seedling container from last year, a cup or so of the seedling soil and a plastic veggie bag; they are currently sitting in a south (warm) window until they come up. Then they will have to be moved to an optimum spot several times a day, until they have true leaves, at which time they'll be transplanted into individual pots.
Having acquired three little "grow your own tree" kits, we have decided to give them a go. One kit was American Elm, the other two are mystery trees. I am really excited to see if anything comes of these.
You will laugh
The Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog threw us a wonderful curve ball this month. The kit to copy has no patterned paper in it. NONE!
"click" story kit by Ali Edwards.
As a way to incorporate lots of these cards into layouts, I will be drawing on design ideas from Scrapbook Generation. I have one sketch idea book of theirs that shows multiple photos on two-page layouts. Looking at the sketches it is easy to consider substituting cards for the photos. Also I have an on-line course of theirs, with advice for using 6x6 paper. My first layout, I cut up 6x6 sheet into strips to create 12" strips. I have the story down. I have yet to take the picture. Also I want to add a fox embellishments (perhaps a stamp) before completion but I share it here to give you the idea of the direction I will go with this.
Sorry, I got ahead of myself. This month's kit has all the loopy words I could gather. The stash had a real shortage of that clover leaf green. The one pennant with ribbon was spot on. I will try to add it in more with ink/stamps. I will choose from my 6x6 pads as the need arises.

While we were just getting into the swing of Sony Ericsson's teaser campaign for its coming soon see-thru phone, the Xperia Pureness, a marketing news source has spilled the beans on the phone's planned UK debut.
It appears that Sony Ericsson is going straight to retailers for the debut of the new device, and will offer the handset through high-end shops, rather than through operators.
With a sales plan compared to Motorola's "Aura" handset, it's being reported the phone - with an unusual blocky design and a transparent display - will go on sale through Selfridges and design museum shops.
The price for the phone is said to be £530 and it's described as "a simple 'talk, text and time' phone targeted at the older affluent mobile user who wants basic functions", unlike the other models in the company's Xperia-branded range which are fully-featured smartphones.
The report sets the launch date for the device into the UK market as November, so well in time for Christmas lists. We will keep you posted.

The nomination of Chuck Hagel as the next US defense secretary is in jeopardy. Republican lawmakers have blocked the vote and are asking to be given more information on the deadly attacks last September in Libya.
Senate Republicans succeeded Thursday in delaying the confirmation of Hagel to be the next defense secretary. The tally finished 58-40, with almost every Republican voting no, falling short of the 60 needed to pass a motion to stop debate and allow a confirmation vote in the Senate.
The battle over the vote on Hagel is just one of many being fought at the moment between US President Barack Obama's Democrats and the Republicans in Congress, with other issues such as immigration, gun control and the economy being discussed.
Senate Republicans have asked the Obama administration for more information on the assault on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, has labeled the move as unprecedented.
"I am going to call Chuck Hagel when I finish here and say I'm sorry, I'm sorry this happened," Reid said on the Senate floor after the vote.
It is the first time such a blocking technique, known as a filibuster, has been used to prevent a vote on a defense secretary nominee. Reid has accused Republicans of trying to score political points, saying it was time to "put aside political theater."
"Senate Republicans have made it clear they intend to mount a full-scale filibuster, and block the Senate from holding a final passage vote on Senator Hagel's nomination," he said.
"Make no mistake: Republicans are trying to defeat Senator Hagel's nomination by filibustering while submitting extraneous requests that will never be satisfied," Reid said.
The White House has labeled the Republicans' move "unconscionable," calling on them to end the delay. In response, it released some details about Obama's actions following the attack in Benghazi on September 11 last year.
The White House said Obama did not speak to any Libyan government officials until the night after the attack. In a letter to three Republican senators, White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, said former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the president of Libya, Mohamed Magariaf, on Obama's behalf on September 11. Ruemmler said this was to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. She said Obama telephoned Magariaf on the evening of September 12.
Opposition to Hagel
The Senate Armed Services Committee voted 14-11 to approve Hagel on Tuesday. However the vote was bitterly divided, with all the panel's Democrats in support but the committee's Republicans unified in opposition to their onetime colleague.
Hagel, 66, has been criticized by some members of his own party for not being sufficiently supportive of Israel and tough on Iran. The twice-wounded Vietnam War combat veteran has often dissented with his conservative party on defense and foreign policy.
A White House spokesman said Obama stands behind his nominee.
"The president believes Senator Hagel will do a wonderful job in a very important role, which is leading the Department of Defense at a challenging time for our country. We need our new secretary of defense in place," said Josh Earnest.
Earnest noted that the new defense secretary would be needed next week at a defense ministers meeting in Brussels, where the transition in Afghanistan will be discussed.

Luke and Wal did a bang-up job repairing my brakes, bearings, and other crap before the big trip from Nambucca to Perth. Heading out to Luke's place to pick up the bus is like visiting the island set from LOST. It's a rainforest of weirdness.

The species is restricted to the coastal plains of Gaza (Palestine), Israel, and southern Lebanon. The population is declining as a result of habitat loss, and the level of decline in Israel is estimated at 50% over the last 30 years, with a future decline that will exceed 30% within the next ten years as a result of habitat conversion and degradation. The species is assessed as Vulnerable (VU (A3c)) on the basis of projected population decline and a continuing decline in area of occupancy (AOO), habitat extent and quality. Subpopulation monitoring is recommended and in situ and ex situ gap analyses should be undertaken to ensure adequate conservation of genetic diversity, especially due to its known actual and potential uses for crop improvement.
|Range Description:
|This species is restricted to the coastal plains of Gaza (Palestine), Israel, and southern Lebanon (Feinbrun-Dothan 1986 cited in van Slageren 1994), where it is found with a discontinuous distribution. Populations have been lost from south of Beirut at the Khalde dunes (the northernmost known locality).

Kimber and Feldman (1987) cited in van Slageren (1994) reported this species to be common and sometimes found in dense stands. In Lebanon it is found as individuals (M. Semaan pers comm. 2016). However, the population is declining as a result of habitat loss across its range, and the level of decline in Israel is estimated at 50% over the last 30 years, with a future decline that will exceed 30% in the future (O. Fragman-Sapir pers. comm. 2016). Data for Lebanon are not available, however localities have been lost, and the same is expected for Gaza.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
It is found in dry, open grassland and consolidated sand dunes (Ankory and Zohary 1962 cited in van Slageren 1994), and prefers sand or sandy loam soils over sandstone or weathered marine diluvium bedrock (Eig 1928 cited in van Slageren 1994).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|The species is a secondary genetic relative of wheat and has known potential to confer salt tolerance traits (GRIN 2016), as well as having been utilized to confer yellow rust resistance (Millet et al. 2008).
|Major Threat(s):
|Impacted by habitat loss as a result of urbanisation and agricultural development.
|Conservation Actions:
The plant is found in a nature reserve in Tyre, Lebanon (M. Semaan pers. comm. 2016) and probably occurs within protected areas within Israel. The genus Aegilops is listed in Annex I of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) as part of the wheat gene pool.
GBIF (2014) reports 28 global accessions, none of which were collected in Lebanon. Two accessions (1,281 seeds) are reported to be held in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (SGSV Data Portal 2013), while USDA (2013) reports 90 accessions in the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS), 68 of which are of wild origin and duplicated at a second site. BGCI (2013) records living collections in six botanical gardens worldwide.

What a Prick
Al Pacino makes it safe to hate Shylock again.
The Merchant of Venice, currently playing in New York's Central Park and starring Al Pacino as Shylock, has been the hottest ticket of a typically slow summer in New York theater. Reviews have been glowing, praising Pacino's performance for its clarity and unexpected understatement. But his major accomplishment has been to make it safe to hate Shylock again.
Merchant is a comedy, and Shylock, whose Jewishness is one of his defining characteristics, was originally played as a clownish miser with murderous impulses. You can imagine the crowds at the Globe cheering when the cunning moneylender gets his comeuppance. In the early 19th century, productions began to soften the character, presenting him as more conflicted and tragically flawed. The Holocaust accelerated the shift toward making him gentler and more empathetic. Shylock isn't a morality tale caricature like Christopher Marlowe's titular Jew of Malta, a vengeful and dastardly merchant who gleefully boasts of poisoning wells. But he's close, presenting a problem for contemporary actors trying to avoid playing into the stereotype of the greedy Jew who cares more about money than mercy.
In a 1970 production at London's National Theater, Laurence Oliver played Shylock like an assimilated Victorian banker who discovers his Jewish identity (and a prayer shawl) after he feels the sting of losing his daughter. Two decades later, Dustin Hoffman delivered a more genial, minor key turn on the West End and then Broadway as a successful businessman who stoically puts up with bigotry and abuse until he snaps. Even Pacino himself has tried to make Shylock more likable, when he starred in the fairly conventional 2004 movie, which adopted the old tack of making the play explicitly about anti-Semitism. The movie opens with a scroll describing hostility toward Jews in Venice, leading to an invented scene in which Antonio spits on Shylock out of pure spite. Pacino plays the Jew, as he's called repeatedly in the play, as a pragmatic sufferer of slights. Attempting to win the audience's sympathy, he sobs when his daughter Jessica leaves him for a Christian. He's a loving father hurt by the loss of a child, abused by a cruel society. No wonder he overreacts with that whole pound-of-flesh business, insisting that his borrower live up to his contract.
Ron Rosenbaum convincingly argued at the time that in straining to give us a politically correct, sanitized Shylock, Pacino offered a "keenly measured evasion," one that misreads the intention of the play. Perhaps Pacino was persuaded. His hardheaded new performance seems like a direct rebuke of his previous one, going against the grain of the usual cheap humanizing. This Shylock is strong, humorless, and not quite as smart as he thinks he is. And director Daniel Sullivan's melancholy and deceptively bold staging provides a sturdy platform for the star by playing against the conventions of traditional comedy. In the ingenious final scene, the couples pair off, as they do in Shakespeare comedies, but they remain alienated from each other. This is also the rare Merchant of Venice that makes no apologies for its politics. In so doing, this production embraces the play's "problems"—and even exploits them.
The most common defense of Shylock rests on a reading of his best-known speech, which asks plaintively "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh?" This speech, the reading goes, is a multicultural plea to see all people, Jews and gentiles, as equals. The problem with this interpretation is that, like so many of Shylock's monologues, this speech is actually a piece of rhetoric. In this case, it is a piece of rhetoric designed explicitly to justify one simple point: Not that Jews are like everyone else, but that Jews, like everyone else, are entitled to their revenge. Shylock's series of questions are a preamble to this crucial point: "And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."
Pacino grasps that this is the crucial point of the speech and delivers it in an angry cadence, without a drop of pathos. He shows admirable restraint here, refusing to pull on heartstrings, shout unnecessarily, or deploy excess charm. His Shylock is self-serious and righteous, a solemn prig surrounded by frivolous men. Unlike when he plays Richard III, Pacino does not make villainous deeds look like devilish fun. Instead of enjoying his bitterness, he is carried away by it. At one point, what he treated as a silly joke in the movie—a pun comparing "land rats" to "pi-rats"—becomes a distinctly bad joke here, accented with a old man's "Ha!"—he sounds for a moment like Chris Matthews—that browbeats his audience into appreciating his lame wordplay.
In the movie, when Jessica leaves home, Pacino fell to the ground in despair. In the Park, he stays upright and seems more upset that she took his money than that she departed. He thus sacrifices any sympathy he might have earned from audiences empathizing with the pain of losing a daughter, while at the same time risks playing into the stereotype of the Jew obsessed by money. But Pacino captures the spirit of the character without simplifying him. Shylock may have started as a simple archetype—based on Marlowe's prototypical Jewish villain—but Shakespeare couldn't help but make him more complex and compelling. Other productions that have set out to be faithful to the original play have gone further in portraying Shylock as a vile stick figure, but that too does the play a disservice. Pacino finds a way to humanize Shylock without making us feel sorry for him. For all his faults, his Shylock holds onto his dignity.
When Portia outfoxes Shylock in the courtroom scene, stripping him of his money and having him forcibly converted, men shove Pacino to his knees. Yet he does not look defeated. When he comes to the line that has baffled generations of actors—after losing his wealth and being forced into Christianity he strangely says, "I am content"—Pacino is defiant, even proud. The system is unjust, he knows it, and there is nothing he can do about it. But his stern countenance indicates that he has no intention of groveling.
At this point in the movie version, Pacino fell to the ground again; he is not pushed down. The last time we see him he is alone and melancholy in a courtyard, an outsider silenced. The production in the Park is more adventurous, adding a silent conversion scene in which a brutal man shoves Shylock's face into a pool of water—a baptism by force. But when Pacino gets up, he does not stumble. He picks up his yarmulke and puts it back on, suggesting that maybe he won't convert after all. He then walks off the stage into a column of smoke. He is not a likable hero, but no victim either. In the end, by not fighting the unpleasantness of the character, Pacino actually avoids making him a stereotype. This is a strong, unrepentant Shylock, like him or not.

Sex After Baby. The Anal Beads Will Have To Wait
Great re-post from writer "mommy wants vodka", who writes for one of our fave blogs, Toy With Me:
After my son was born, my doctor was busily discharging me from the hospital and in the middle of her discharge instructions, she looked at me conspiratorially and said, "Now, NO sex until after your six week appointment." I'd swear that she winked at me then, but maybe she had something in her eye, because I don't know if it was my bleary, tear-streaked face, or blood-shot eyes that gave me away, or perhaps it was the three days worth of beard growth on my husband's face, but the last thing on my mind (even BEYOND, hey, I wonder what would happen if I ate the DO NOT EAT packets in the medicine bottles?) was getting busy again.
I'd just pushed 8 pounds of baby out of my cootch; 8 pounds of baby that was now attached to my now-pancake-sized nipple, and I could barely waddle to the bathroom without weeping in pain, so, trust me, Good Doctor, the last thing I want to do is stick something up a hole that has now been stretched out, once again. My husband, The Daver, wasn't in any better shape, as he'd suffered through the male version of pregnancy alongside me, although his penis had escaped the ordeal unscathed.
The Anal Beads Will Have To Wait
The first weeks home with a baby are always a blur unless you're flush enough to afford live-in twenty-four hour care. They have always found me more focused on staying alive and not killing myself (or anyone else, for that matter) rather than giving a spectacular blow job. When given the green light by the doctor at my six-week postpartum visit, I've always dutifully filled my birth control prescription and just…waited. Just because my episotomy has healed and my vagina has stopped leaking afterbirth goo has never meant that I was particularly ready to jump back into the sack, nipple clamps and anal beads at the ready.
My Boobs Are Leaking
Before you write me off as a prude, hear me out: it's just that by six weeks, my body is nowhere near back to feeling like, well, my own again. Always one to turn pregnancy into a full-body experience, it takes me at least a year to get the *ahem* sixty pounds of baby weight off, and until that point, I sort of feel like an Oompa-Loompa, only less orange. Or maybe a Weeble, only less plastic. Feeling fat, even if it's baby fat, isn't something that's ever made me particularly feel sexy and never something I've been able to forget even while on the receiving end of toe-curling orgasms. My breasts themselves, always known as fun-bags in my house, have turned into two leaky taps, occasionally spurting forth liquid if the wind (or mood) hits them just right. Being doused with breast milk, while certainly it has a fetish market, has never been my idea of foreplay. Nor were the lilting crescendos of my screaming baby reaching a fever pitch in the background just as I was working my elastic waisted pants off.
I Just Want To Survive
My babies have also all been particularly clingy, soothed at first only by nursing, which meant by the time that I was able to dislodge their tiny mouths from my beefy nipple and tiptoe carefully away the absolute last thing that I wanted was to touch (or be touched by) another person. Besides, if I've been given the rare opportunity to be alone in a bed with my husband without my children present, it's more likely that we'd be snoring before you could say "lube that bad boy up." In the grand scheme of things, for me at least, the first year of life with a new baby, having sex swinging from the rafters roleplaying as the Easter Bunny and a can of Spam kind of takes a back seat to surviving.
It Has To Be Normal right?
For some strange reason, this always has made me feel sort of, I don't know, guilty, I guess. It's not as though Dave hasn't been unfailingly kind about it because he is just as preoccupied by the whole "survival" thing as I am. And it isn't as though my Mommy Friends all have sex swings with which they regularly taunt me with stories of steamy trysts of threesomes with hot college babysitters (after, of course, the kids are in bed). I'm pretty sure that I'm just another one of the bleary-eyed, mini-van driving masses to tired to get off.
To make matters even weirder, I know better than to beat myself up too much about this.
My Inner Sex Kitten Will Be Back
There are five whole years between Kid One and Kid Two. Five years, sixty pounds, and two different men. I'm fully aware that after about that one year mark, just as I'm blowing the candles out on that first birthday cake, I will bring the sexy BACK once again. My inner sex kitten will be released and we'll be roleplaying Dora and Boots again in no time. Once, of course, the children are snugly in their wee beds, dreaming no doubt, of sugar plums and candy.
Certainly, things have changed in the years since I've had my children. Gravity hasn't been *ahem* kind, and babies have stretched out corridors that maybe were once a little tighter (some might make a hotdog down a hallway joke here, but that is neither here nor there), and my stretch marks clearly show that I have been through, well, a battle. Three times.
I don't look like a twenty year old any more, and that's probably good, because I'll be thirty next year. And really, who the hell wants to be twenty again? Maybe I'll a little softer in places, a little rounder and a little looser, but I have something that no plastic surgeon can ever fix: confidence. And fulfillment. That, my friends, is sexier than any set of hooters I've seen.
Tell me, how was sex after baby for you?

One Response to "Sex After Baby. The Anal Beads Will Have To Wait"
There's no such thing as "normal". Two weeks after my wife's somewhat difficult delivery we were having (non vaginal) sex. Our lovely little girl is cholicy as all get-out, but we still mess around a couple times a week. She's asleep, wife and I hop in bed and hold each other as we get ourselves off. Some of the best sex I've ever had.

Zac Efron has appealed to the producers at Glee for a guest role on the show because he's a "huge fan" of Lea Michele.
Efron previously showed off his singing chops in both Hairspray and High School Musical, but after working with Glee actress Michele on the set of their upcoming film New Year's Eve, he's eager for another chance to star alongside the beauty on her hit TV series - and he's hoping executives will cast him as a blood thirsty criminal.
He tells celebrity blog PerezHilton.com, "I'm a huge fan of Glee and a huge fan of Lea Michele's work. It looks so fun. I would love to (be on it). Have they had a serial killer yet? It'd be fun to sing about."
The popular high school musical show has already featured a number of guest stars during its three-year run - among them Gwyneth Paltrow, Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos and Kristin Chenoweth. And Latin pop stars Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan have both recently signed on for roles in the show next year (12).

This is take two. My blogging sort of fizzled out as well as my weight loss.
Queue the tunes. "Here I go again on my own".
(You are very welcome for that)
I did lose 20 pounds. And then gained about 5 pounds of that back.
Started talking to my ex again, briefly. Uck.
Stopped running.
Stopped blogging.
So here I am again! Ready to do better this time. No, F that. I am ready to conquer this time!
Conquer what? Healing. Losing weight. ALL the weight. Being single, (going to own that), kicking some butt at work, working out, organizing my life, and cooking… just to name a few. 😉
Looking forward to more adventures too. I am heading on a trip soon, and then who knows after that!

No. 9: Daniel Rothenberg
Firm: UBS
AUM: $1.56 billion
Location: Los Angeles
Age: 31
Note: This profile is part of a special series devoted to On Wall Street's Top 40 Under 40 ranking for 2012. Every day we take a look at an advisor who made the list to find out the secrets of their success.
Daniel Rothenberg's entry into the advisory industry was all about relationships. He teamed up with a family friend who he knew growing up, and leveraged his connections from a college internship to seal his big first retirement plan client.
And those relationships have continued. Rothenberg, who has made this list three times, has worked with his partner, Roger Stephens, for more than six years. Their team also includes four support staff members. And that first retirement plan client he landed has been with them for five years.
Rothenberg's team specializes in 401(k) plans, endowments, retirement plans for nonprofits and individuals. That focus allows him to delve into the "nerdy" economics he has loved studying since college. The team uses the investment analysis they do for both retirement plans and endowments to better assess other investments such as mutual funds for their individual clients, he says.
Clients, Rothenberg says, will be demanding more specialized advice. "People will want to be dealing with specialists, more so than generalists," Rothenberg says. That means he is often in the office before 6 a.m. to handle trades and stays well after market close either in the office or attending meetings. And Rothenberg says he still employs the lessons he learned from the financial crisis to his work with clients today.
"It taught me very quickly that this is really a very client-focused business and a very client service-oriented business," Rothenberg says, "and then when people and clients need things done or have questions or issues, that we drop everything to get that done as quickly as possible." When it comes to investing now, Rothenberg's team has been conservative because of the uncertain U.S. political climate. They now favor municipal bonds.
When approached by aspiring advisors, Rothenberg tells them they need a team. "You really have to hustle and put everything you have into it and do your best to try to find somebody that has a good business that you're interested in that you could complement," he says.

Telegraph Sport has learnt that nine spectators have been ejected from at least five grounds this season at county and international matches under suspicion of working for bookies in India. Last year it was 12 but with the county Twenty20 season only just in full swing the number is already close to matching that.
ECB anti-corruption officers are policing matches live on Sky which are beamed into India. "The reason we are concerned is because of the threat these people pose to the game as a whole," said an ECB spokesman. "They are agents for illegal bookies in the subcontinent and if they could get access to a player or official they would approach them with only one thing in mind. Anyone talking to them and mentioning the state of the pitch or selection for example would be breaching the anti-corruption code so we are protecting the clubs and players. It is one part of making sure matches are as safe as possible."
The agents for the bookies are often communicating with India via hidden microphones or smart-phone messaging systems. They are passing on data such as fours and wickets using a coded message system. Matches shown in India are often on a 15-second time lag, which means live information from inside the ground can help a bookie fix the odds.
The ECB is not concerned about punters using laptops to bet on legal gambling sites in this country, a system known as court-siding.
This season suspected agents for bookies have been thrown out of matches in Durham, Cardiff, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston and Northampton. Officers threw one fan out of the Champions Trophy match between South Africa and India at Cardiff and another was intercepted at Durham's Riverside Ground at a match between Durham and Hampshire on June 22 after posing as a Sky Sports employee. He has subsequently been banned from all county grounds in England.
Two men were thrown out of Northamptonshire's televised Twenty20 match against Gloucestershire at Wantage Road on Friday and one man was questioned by West Midlands police at Edgbaston during Warwickshire's YB40 match against Nottinghamshire in May on suspicion of deception after officers spotted him using multiple phones to pass on information to India. He was released without charge. Fans with laptops were ejected from Trent Bridge during Nottinghamshire's YB40 match against Kent this season.
Senior sources have told Telegraph Sport anti-corruption officers believe gangs in India pay students to sit at matches in England to relay the live information back to the subcontinent.

British Airways planes will be flying using fuel manufactured from landfill-waste in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint as the company has signed a deal to build an innovative plant.
The deal between the airline and an Essex-based Solena Fuels will see British Airways purchasing all 50,000 tonnes of jet fuel produced in the foreseen plant at the Thames Enterprise Park. The factory at the site of the former Coryton refinery in Thurrock, Essex will offer 150 permanent jobs while up to 1,000 workers will be hired during the construction process.
BA flights could be running on the green fuel as early as 2017.
"We are always striving to reduce our impact on climate change and this first-of-its-kind project marks a significant step for the aviation industry," said Willie Walsh, chief executive of BA's parent company IAG.
"The construction of the GreenSky London fuel facility at Thames Enterprise Park will lay the foundations for BA to reduce its carbon emissions significantly," he said, adding that the venture will enable the company to reduce its CO2 emissions by the equivalent of taking 150,000 cars off the roads.
Approximately 575,000 tonnes of post-recycled waste, normally destined for landfill or incineration, will be converted into 120,000 tonnes of clean burning liquid fuels using Solena's patented high temperature plasma gasification technology converting the waste efficiently into synthetic gas. The gas will then be converted into liquid hydrocarbons using third party technologies which will include cleaning and conditioning of the gas, a Velocys Fischer-Tropsch conversion process, hydrocracking and electric power production.
"We are excited to help British Airways achieve its sustainability goals by providing an innovative solution to produce drop-in jet fuel," said Robert Do, president and CEO of Solena Fuels. "We anticipate starting construction of the site in approximately 12 months after all the requisite permits and agreements have been obtained. We are looking forward to successfully building GreenSky London and partnering with British Airways on additional facilities in the United Kingdom."
Thames Enterprise Park and neighbouring Thames Oilport, established in 2012, is a joint venture with Greenergy as one of the investors and the site project facilitator.
"This is an ideal site for a biofuel initiative like Solena's and we are very pleased to be associated with it," said Andrew Owens, chief executive of Greenergy. "It is located on the Thames with fuel storage and fuel pipelines and good road, rail and jetty infrastructure."
The announcement comes just two weeks before the global aviation community joins forces to discuss ways to reduce the industry's environmental impact at the 2014 Global Sustainable Aviation Summit in Geneva.

The New York Stated Department of Agriculture and Markets is warning consumers not to drink unpasteurized milk from the Winters Grass Farm in Saquiot in Oneida County. Officials have discovered that a sample of the raw milk collected by a food safety inspector was contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
On March 16, 2017, the producer was notified of a preliminary positive test result for Listeria. Winter Grass Farm immediately and voluntarily suspended sales of the product. Then, on March 22, 2017, the presence of the pathogenic bacteria was confirmed in the raw milk sample. The farm is located at 9104 Butler Road in Sauquoit.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem, but the illness caused by this bacteria, listeriosis, can take up to 70 days to appear. If you purchased raw milk from that farm, so not consume it. Immediately discard it in a sealed container so other people and animals can't drink it.
Then clean out your refrigerator with a solution of one tablespoon liquid chlorine bleach to one gallon of warm or hot water. Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Once it is established this bacteria is very difficult to eradicate. Freezing does not kill this bacteria. Wash your hands well with soap and water after handling this product and after cleaning the fridge.
If you drank any of this milk, watch yourself for the symptoms of illness for the next 70 days. It can take that long to get sick, but most people get sick within a few weeks after exposure.
Listeria monocytogenes food poisoning symptoms can feel like the flu, or they can include severe headache, stiff neck, high fever, nausea, and diarrhea. Young children, people with chronic illnesses and weakened immune systems, and the elderly can suffer serious complications with this type of infection. Pregnant women may only be sick with what seems like the flu, but listeriosis can cause premature labor, stillbirth, miscarriage, and infection in the newborn.
The press release states, "It is important to note that raw milk does not provide the protection of pasteurization. Pasteurization is a process that heats milk to a specific temperature for a set period of time. Pasteurization kills the bacteria responsible for numerous illnesses and diseases such as listeriosis, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria and brucellosis. Pasteurization of milk is recognized internationally as an effective means of preventing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, including listeriosis."
