What Does It Mean to Be a Good Cook?
With so many big holiday meals coming up, we've been having a lot of conversations about what it really means to be a good cook. The answer? Well, it's different for everyone.
Maybe to you, a good cook has a dozen amazing recipes committed to memory. Or maybe it means you can plan a month's worth of dinners with just one trip to the grocery store. Or maybe it means having the ability to turn even the most random Chopped-like basket into a real meal.
My best friend is a good cook because she can find a recipe online, read it once, and then tweak it a little to make it her own. Another friend of mine is a good cook because he can churn out a three-course restaurant-quality dinner without ever seeming frazzled. I think I'm a good cook because I've really learned how to nail the whole everything-is-ready-at-the-same-time thing.
But, we want to hear from you. What do you think it means to be a good cook? Let us know in the comments! You could be featured in an upcoming post on Kitchn.

Moving Abroad and The Unhappy Expat
As an expat, there are times when the journey becomes miserable. Disillusionment takes up residence with despair, and its close relative depression comes knocking on your door. Before the negative spiral gets out of control, it can help to have a close look at what might be causing the problems. The most common expat concerns can be broken down into two camps; the internal stuff and the external. We have a reasonable amount of control over the internal stuff. This is in our sphere of influence and ability to change. The external stuff can often fall outside this sphere of influence, but we can still decide how we perceive it.
In this post, I want to focus on the internal problems and how you can turn these around.
Internal stuff:
Just plain grumpy; Sometime we just get this way regardless of our location. Everyday feels like a Monday and there seems to be no end in sight. Maybe you are just plain bored and need to explore your new world a little. Get out, try something new and while you are at it have a good honest attitude check and try to turn your grumpiness around.
Moaning-itis: Ok, not really a word, but you get the idea. The moaning starts with little things, like the bread not tasting the same and escalates into moaning about the smell, the texture, the neighbors, the crowds and on it goes. Just stop the moaning for a day and see if this helps.
Unmet expectations: This is a big one. The moment we decide to move to a new place we start imagining it and creating ideas about how it will be. Of course, the reality is always different. But, if we have built high expectations based on this imagining, we can be sorely disappointed when they are not met. Have a good look at the things that you are most unhappy about. Did you have unrealistic expectations? Maybe it is time to let these go and just enjoy what you have. After all, is what it is.
Trying to recreate your life from home: Trying to recreate your home nation in your new one is a recipe for disaster. From the food to the driving styles, everything is slightly different to what you are used to. Your life is different, and the more you can accept and embrace the difference, the happier you will be.
Only socializing within your cultural group: It is great to make friends with other expats from our homeland, but when we become exclusive about only socializing within one group, we limit our enjoyment of the experience. One of the greatest benefits of living as an expat is the chance to meet new friends from all over the world. Be brave and go introduce yourself to someone new.
Automatically thinking our way of doing things is right: Eating rice and fish for breakfast is just wrong. I admit I find it hard to stomach an Asian style breakfast on the best of mornings, but millions of others love it. Just because it is wrong for me, does not mean it is wrong. Live and let live.
You wouldn't be happy anywhere: Some of us fall into this category. This is really deep internal stuff that really has little to do with the location. Learning how to be happy wherever you are, requires you to stop being so damn unhappy everywhere. Some soul-searching required to sort this problem out.

The little post office was quite crowded. I took my place at the end of the long, tired line, leaned against the wall, and closed my eyes. A vision of my own private postal service, with huge, many-pouched kangaroos that could hop from coast to coast overnight, beckoned to me from the land of my dreams.
A sound of soft singing, a bit off-key but very earnest, called me back. I opened my eyes and saw a little girl, perhaps seven years old, with golden hair and deep-blue eyes, dancing all by herself. She was going round in little circles, swaying her arms this way and that, up and down the line. She was the dancer and the accompaniment, too, the silence and the voice, all in a world and time of her own. All in, as her mother explained to everybody, "the wonder years."
Older ladies looked down at the child, and their eyes went soft with memory. and a young man and woman gazed at her for a long while, as if trying to foresee how the daughter they wanted would be different, or the same. For some, time had gone too fast; for others, it could hurry up a little.
The child stopped in front of me and lifted her eyes to mine. I smiled at her and inwardly wished her a long and happy life. I love children, even though their favorite observation about me is that, compared with them, I am quite old, and I am getting older all the time.
The child returned my smile, shyly. Then, pointing at the book under my arm, she said, "I can read, too."
"Can you? Wonderful. What are you reading now?"
"My picture book about the ocean. I love the ocean."
"Me too. I love the way it just keeps rolling ashore. It just won't be stopped by anything! It's got heart, the ocean."
"I love the colors and all the fishes. Especially the fishes."
I recalled a magical encounter between my wife, when she was a child, and a sort of fish. "Are there any pictures of sea serpents in your book?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I've never seen a sea serpent."
"My wife did once, when she was about your age. She wrote a poem about it. Would you like me to recite the poem for you?" She nodded eagerly. I spied a serpent in the sea, It rose out of the briny blue, Winked an eye and smiled at me, And said, "How do you do?" Frightened so by such a sight I promptly lost my head, and fled. Alas, I lost my manners, too: I know I should have stayed and said "Very well, thank you, sir. And you?" 'Tis quite a breach of courtesy To snub a serpent of the sea.
When I finished, the child was standing on her tiptoes, smiling with delight. For a moment she looked like a little immigrant in a new land, on tiptoe before her whole life, wishing she had wings to fly to meet it. Then, coming back down firmly on the ground, she looked with a kind of solicitude at those people in line who had heard the poem, too, but whose faces still showed all the signs of toil and care.
"Don't be sad," she said to them. "The sea serpent knows the little girl was afraid. He isn't mad at her. And he'll come back someday."

Dear readers: The following column published originally in October 2013. It is a reminder of just one of the blessings for which we can be thankful: the efforts of those who responded to the 2013 flood. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Johnnie: Big fan of your column. It has really helped me understand the inner, oddities and resources around Longmont since we moved here 11 years ago. Thank you!
We live near 22nd and Hover, not far from McIntosh Lake and the ditch that runs under Hover between 17th and 21st and eventually down the middle of 21st heading toward Main Street. I am curious about how the waterways work and why McIntosh nor the ditch flooded on this end of town. Any ideas? -- Dry in North Longmont
Dear Dry in North Longmont: Remember Sunday, Sept. 15? That's the day that heavy rains returned and residents in the McIntosh Lake area were advised to evacuate. What happened that day provides an answer to your question.
I'll start with an overly simplified explanation of how the ditches work.
A number of irrigation ditches pull water from the St. Vrain River west of Longmont via "diversions" and gates. A diversion is a low wall across the river that causes water to pool. This water is directed toward a "head gate," which can be raised to allow water into the ditch and lowered to cut off flow to the ditch.
The Oligarchy Ditch connects to the St. Vrain west of Hygiene, on private property near 63rd Street. Where the river turns southeast, the ditch continues east, toward north Longmont. On the northwest side of McIntosh Lake, another diversion and gate allows water from the ditch to be directed toward the lake. Under the east end of McIntosh are pipes that can carry water back to the ditch.
During the first few days of flooding, while the head gates of other ditches gave way, the Oligarchy head gate held. Still, the water level in the Oligarchy went up, because water from those other ditches poured over the landscape toward the Oligarchy. (Those other head gates were sealed by Saturday, Sept. 14.)
Then came Sunday, Sept. 15. A farmer who lives near the head of the Oligarchy discovered that the gate had given way, as had the diversion structure in the river. This I learned from Nelson Tipton, water resources analyst for city of Longmont and Oligarchy Ditch Company board member. He was one of the first to get to the head gate after being notified.
"We had to move quickly and come up with several ideas to get water back to the St. Vrain," Tipton said.
The first thing was to redirect water from the ditch into Lake McIntosh, which had capacity to take on more water.
"We only had so much capacity in McIntosh," Tipton said. "If the rain would stop, we would let water out of Lake McIntosh, when we had space in the ditch."
While the city and ditch company balanced water between McIntosh and the ditch, a contractor with a backhoe worked to dig out an old overflow just downstream from the head gate, one that hadn't been used in years. Workers used boards to redirect the overflowing water south, back toward the river, then resealed the head gate.
The level of McIntosh never approached the spillway on the lake's southwest side. And thus, north Longmont was spared.
Tipton credited "teamwork with city staff, the Oligarchy Ditch Company, the contractor, and (the city's) Emergency Operations Center."

There were goals for Joel Campbell and Chuks Aneke; as youngster wants to use past experiences with Thierry Henry to help him in the Championship.
Chuks Aneke was the man in the headline for his late winning goal for Crewe earning the plaudits from both fans and team-mates. Crewe midfielder Abdul Osman was delighted for the young Arsenal man giving him a glowing review in the process.
''We are all delighted for Chuks and pleased for everyone. Chuks is the main man and he is always very good for us.
''We all know what he can offer us and what he can offer us is always very good.''
Another Arsenal man in the headline (once again) was attacker Joel Campbell, scoring within three minutes to send Olympiacos on there way to a 3-0 win. The Costa Rican has been the main man for the Greek side this season, proving himself to be one of the best - if not the best player in Greece.
Despite being an unused substitute for Bournemouth in their impressive 1-1 home draw with Brighton, the Nico Yennaris was faced with numerous camera's asking what he wants to get out of the loan move.
He has drawn similarities between the Cherries and Arsenal during the game and can't wait to get started. He admitted that he will be drawing on his wealth of experience to get the most out of his loan spell, in particularly the time he spent training with Thierry Henry recently.
Elsewhere, Hector Bellerin made a fairly uninspiring debut being on the receiving of a 3-0 hammering to league minnows Yeovil Town. Ignasi Miquel played the full 90 for Leicester in their impressive 3-0 win against Millwall and there also games for Francis Coquelin and Johan Djourou in the Bundesliga with Johan drawing and Francis losing to Borussia Monchengladbach.

And here they are.
Pastels are the hallmark of Kidston products — from handbags to aprons. It's an iconic look and I have to say it works swell on spring cookies!
This colour scheme works great for baby cookies or even bridal showers. The soft blush flowers just evoke such lovely feelings of refreshment and cuddliness. Also chic, depending on the design.I could've kept the red a tad bit softer, though.

sadly sunday
can take the same drug...
for the same thing...
and somehow not come up with the same results?
I tried not to let my heart get the best of me. I tried not to imagine how things would work this time around. Because as much as I like to know...I knew better than to start guessing. I'm way smarter than that. And yet somehow I couldn't help myself.
I allowed myself to play with the idea that we caught it early...and to remember that Trevy responded so quickly last time...
And I just couldn't help it...
I allowed my heart to hope...to dream...to embrace...the idea that this time it would work for good! Faster even!
And that would explain why I'm being swallowed up by melancholy. Not only is Trevor miserable. Inconsolable. Not only do we have to pin him down for 5 weeks of morning sticks. Not only are we living with the perpetual pit in our stomaches. A thousand not onlys...
have led to a different outcome. On day four of the time before...the spasms were gone. Poof! On day four this time...the spasms are still bobbing his beautiful little curly-top to the right. Eight times so far today. And even though we have had days with way more than eight....my heart doesn't register a difference. Spasms are spasms.
And that would be why...on this particular Sunday...I happen to be feeling sadly...

Oh, your poor little curly top!
It's so wrong isn't it?
I totally understand the hope and unconscious convincing of one's self that this time will be the same or better...and then things change...or don't.
I hope Monday is a wonderful Monday for Trevor with no spasms and that it's the beginning of something better.
Kiss & hug both your tears away. Needle pokes are awful. It hurts to knowingly hurt your baby in the name of helping him. Even though you know you're doing your best for him, it still hurts...I get that.
I wish you peace today, Danielle. Peace and love and cuddles and smiles with Trevy and your whole family.
My heart is with you.

Keep the faith, maybe this time he'll knock them out for good!!! That is our hope for your family, because unfortunately in the past 20 months since Connor was diagnosed.... I can count on one hand the number of days he has been "seizure free". I just have a feeling it will work again for Trevy! If you feel like crying...just do it. I know I always feel better after a good crying session....ugly crying face and all. =)

Thanks girls! I'm feeling better today...maybe I just needed a good sleep? Which thankfully we all got! I've learned to let my emotions rolls...they always pass in a day or two. I feel things deeply...good & bad. We ended the day yesterday with over 30 spasms...and it was just really hard on my heart. But Trevy woke up happy & seems very alert & less crabby? We'll see... We start Zonegran today too...so maybe the combo will do the trick? I hope so...
It's really tricky to move from thinking you've *beat* IS...back into the battle. But I am hoping for Trevy. He's such a fighter. We love his little fighter spirit!
Anyway...we're off to give him his shot. Ugh...I always have a pit until it's over.

I know it's so hard to continue to hope when you are in this dark place, but good for you for finding it in your heart to do it. Whether Trevor has another spasm mive minutes from now or five years from now, you are going to feel devestated, but those moments in between are sometimes all we have. Here's hoping that the Zonegran is just the backup that ACTH needs to kick IS's butt to the curb again ; )

Depending on whom you asked Saturday, Democrat Harold Ford Jr. was either trailing Republican Bob Corker by ten points or leading him by six in the final days of the Tennessee Senate race. The latter figure is Ford's own, and its reiteration was the ostensible reason for his campaign's decision to schedule a press conference at four o'clock Saturday afternoon -- the precise moment that Steve Cohen, Democratic nominee for the Congressional Ninth District, was holding a rally in Midtown.
More than a week ago, the Cohen campaign made several efforts to invite Ford to the event, billed as a "Democratic Unity Rally," according to people in the campaign. Both events, geared to draw media attention, instead drew attention away from each other. In spite of the scheduling conflict, campaign manager Kevin Gallagher did not regard the parallel timing of the two events as a slight. "The message just didn't get passed up the chain," Gallagher explained. "From the beginning, there has been a breakdown in communication."
That beginning, of course, was the August 3 primary. After Cohen won the Democratic nomination, independent candidate Jake Ford, Harold's brother, began his House campaign in earnest. Since then, relations between the two Democratic campaigns have been less than hostile, but awkward at best.
If indeed Cohen got a cold shoulder from Ford yesterday, it was not apparent to anyone in attendance at Cohen's headquarters. Flanked by Shelby County Democratic Party chairman Matt Kuhn and Councilwoman Carol Chumney, among others, Cohen voiced his full-throated support for Ford during his speech.
Cohen field director Liz Rincon, who organized the event, also expressed her support for Ford's Senate bid, but did give vent to some frustration over the strained relationship between the two campaigns since the primary. Describing what she believes was a lost opportunity, she outlined "what an amazing image it would have been to have a white Jewish Representative from a black district, and a black Senator from a white state." Had the two Memphis Democrats campaigned together, she said, it would have shown that "we don't care about race down here."
Gallagher was also perturbed by the lack of comity between the two Democratic campaigns. "We have expended every opportunity," he said, "to coordinate and use our resources to help get Harold Ford elected because we want a Democratic majority." Referring to a recent press release from Ford's campaign in which the Senate candidate accused Cohen of, among other things, wanting to "cut and run in Iraq," Gallagher said, "I understand that Harold's brother is in the race, but don't work against us."
The Ford campaign issued a press release Saturday from its internal pollster, Benenson Strategy Group, challenging the methodology of the conflicting polls, concluding that "the race is a tossup and too close to call heading into the final week." The Commercial Appeal, which endorsed Ford for the second time in an editorial Sunday morning, released the results of the latest poll in the same edition. The poll, from Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, shows Ford behind his Republican opponent by an even wider margin: twelve points

So I came across this little freestanding cabinet in a shop and really liked the arched top. Since I wasn't willing to pay the top dollar that was being asked for it, I went and bought some wood to build my own. I decided to make it out of cheap-o ponderosa pine from Lowe's (I'm on a tight budget!) I've got the entire cabinet built now and I just can't seem to get a close match to the finish on this. Now I know that I will likely not get it dead on, but does someone have a suggestion on how to make ponderosa pine look like that? Maybe I should have used a different wood!
-- How much wood would a wood chuck chuck, oh nevermind......

Articles tagged with: Ottawa Fringe Festival
We live in the Age of Spectacle, and this has great benefits. Standing with a hushed group in front of a Rembrandt at the National Gallery of Canada or in a crowd of 30,000 listening to Bob Dylan at Bluesfest links us to the big picture, the idea that history is consequential and that we can be part of it. The transcendence separates us from our surroundings, and bragging rights alone are worth the disconnection.
For those content in the belief that the Internet is not the future of arts marketing, the Ottawa Fringe Festival should provide a moment of hesitation. No attendance numbers yet from event organizers, and those probably won't be all that different from the historic high of 13,000, but online access to festival information has given the Fringe a boost that only very expensive promotional campaigns achieve.
I've never heard such an un-manufactured buzz surrounding one arts event in Ottawa as the communion coalescing around the Ottawa Fringe Festival in just its second day. One reason must be a huge uptake of social media, especially Twitter and Facebook. But these un-contextualized conversations are a bit overwhelming, like offering 80 brands of bottled to water to someone who's just spent two months in the desert. There's something else going on.
For Ken Godmere, the evening of June 15 is all about a book. The back story is so dark and smelly that when the plot finishes in celebration, you'll have to wonder how, and why, it all fits together. And maybe it doesn't, because Godmere will use the book that night like Hamlet uses Yorik's skull: a moment of revelation in a dangerous, confusing time.
In most performance on stage there's a moment, usually early, when the audience knows exactly the domain they've entered. It is tradition, the satisfaction delivered for the $20 or $120 ticket, and this endorsement molds people to the back of their seats. No performance event in Ottawa obscures those domains like the Fringe Festival, and this implausibility draws viewers to the edges of their seats.
"Some of my best memories are of the most appalling shows," says Natalie Joy Quesnel. It is a statement of pure affection. While we all have bitchiness in us, Quesnel is nowhere near that page when talking about the Ottawa Fringe Festival, which she helped nurse-maid for years and this year became its official nanny – the executive producer. Starting June 17, she has 60 performance groups staging 370 shows, and some of them are going to fall flat on their faces.
So maybe now it's time to get Emily Pearlman squarely on your radar. Since returning to Ottawa, Pearlman has shown up a great deal in theatre talk; at last summer's fringe festival, she was the main talk, and her work in Countries Shaped Like Stars is still emitting buzz in the southern United States from its run nearly a month ago.
So it's no surprise that when the Rideau Awards nominees for Ottawa/Gatineau's professional theatre were announced last night, Pearlman's name kept sticking out: nominations for best performance by a female, …

July 26, 1928-July 28, 2012
Leonard John Wyzorowski was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 26, 1928.
He was the youngest of eight children born from the union of the late Walter and Mary (Gliczynski) Wyzorowski. He attended school at Capernicus High School in Hamtrack. Leonard served his country as a merchant marine and later he was stationed in Florida as a member of the United States Army.
On August 2, 1947, Leonard married the love of his life Virginia Terlikowski in Detriot at the St. Casmer Church. From this union came four children. Leonard was a generous, loving family man. He loved to share his experiences and traveling with his family.
He provided for his family as an ironworker and welder for several companies while living in California and Michigan. Leonard loved his family dearly and being the baby of the family did not like to be away from his siblings. After several cross country moves the family became experts at packing and unpacking.
Leonard loved games of chance and was often drawn to the casino. From time to time he liked to play the horses as well. Leonard was a lover of the outdoors whether it was cooking in the wilderness, taking target practice at the shooting range, or just enjoying the beauty of the mountains.
Leonard John Wyzorowski age 84 of Flat Rock passed away at 10:45am, Saturday, July 28, 2012 surrounded by his family. His passing was preceded by his parents and six brothers and sisters; Benny Wyzorowski, Chester Wyzorowski, Raymond Wyzorowski, Irene Beyer, Virginia Place and Art Smith.
To cherish his memory he leaves his wife Virginia of Flat Rock; four children: Constance (Bob) Weber of Kingman, Arizona, Lenore Sisk of Brownstown, Douglas (Linda) Wyzorowski of Ventura, California and Norman (Brenda) Wyzorowski of Panama City Beach, Florida; a sister: Gertrude Beyer-Tonkik; eleven grandchildren: Shalene, Richard, Cynthia, Kevin, Jeff, Cheridy, Shane, Bridget, Jessie, Andrea, and Nathan; and nineteen great-grandchildren.
A private memorial service was held. Cremation took place through Southern Michigan Services in Livonia, Michigan. Merkle Funeral Service, 2442 North Monroe Street (734) 384-5185 was entrusted with his arrangements.

I've been shaken a bit lately.
It's because of my job. I came to work at a place that I really loved, went to work for a guy that I still consider one of the greatest leaders I know. I felt valued. I felt important in that place. I knew what to do to be great in my job, and I did it with a full heart, to the absolute best of my ability.
Fast forward a few months. The great leader got a great job, a promotion in another place. He earned it. He was very much up to the task, and it gave him a chance to stretch his wings, really make a difference.
I didn't follow him. He was replaced with another leader who, it is fair to say, is the polar opposite. Ruling with fear. Communicating poorly. Chastising those who fail to understand. Forgetting directives. Threatening. Fear has come to visit me too often these days, mainly the fear that I'll be labeled a failure at something I never had the ghost of a chance to succeed in.
It's not a good feeling.
I've done a few things. First, I've prayed for the new leader. Not enough, but I have. It's difficult to pray for someone you think is really out to get you, but I've done it. I'm sticking with that. But I'm also looking for comfort.
Luckily, I have Matthew 8.
The Savior who sleeps
Matthew 8:23-27 is an interesting story. Jesus had been in a real healing marathon, and he wanted to get away for a bit. He gets in a boat, and the disciples follow. Then, this:
Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
Matt. 8:24
It's hard to move past this without doing a double-take. Jesus was actually sleeping through a storm in a boat. How? I can't imagine. You'd think that the "waves sweeping over the boat" thing would have woken him. The thunder, lightning, rain… any of that. But it doesn't. He's asleep, so asleep that the disciples have to wake him. "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
There's no list of who was there, but a lot of the disciples were fishermen. They'd probably been in storms before, they knew how to handle themselves. But this… this was different. These guys were scared. They thought they were going to die.
That's bad storm.
It's interesting how Jesus responds.
26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
He scolds them. Says they have little faith. Asks them why they're afraid. It seems like an unfair question, doesn't it? If the storm was bad enough to shake experienced seafarers, what right does a carpenter have to tell them where to be scared?
I'll tell you why I think that was: because they didn't realize who was with them.
pain and preservation
It's difficult to see past pain when you're in it. Impossible, sometimes. Pain and suffering are so close, they monopolize our senses. We can't think of anything else.
We're ruled by fear. I'm ruled by fear. Right now, in the place I feel myself stuck, I'm ruled by fear.
Because we do not realize who is with us.
I think Jesus scolded the disciples because they thought a storm was going to kill them all, and that brought into question their vision of him. If he was the Son of God, there to bring about the salvation of the world, would God Almighty really allow him to drown in a lake, killed by rain? Would his mission be cut short by weather?
It's also the reason why he was asleep. The reason why his sleeping should have brought them comfort. To trust him was to take comfort from his peace. His peace was so pervasive, it wasn't shaken by the tyrannical urgency of their circumstances. His peace was constant, and they could participate in it.
This is available to us, no less than it was to them. In our greatest storms, Jesus still rests. It's important to remember that he is still in the boat, putting himself right in the front lines of our pain. We may be afraid, we may be shaken. We may be broken. We need not be afraid.

Lose the Road Warrior lingerie. Fortunately she got rid of the silly costume pretty early in the proceedings. I would have preferred a very short miniskirt to show off those spectacular legs of hers. Maybe a no pantie surprise like in the Georgette Parks video with the red dress. That works every time.

Visit London extends marketing campaign into Europe
Advertising will promote London's value for money offer
Visit London has launched a new £300k campaign in Spain, Italy and Germany running until the middle of February 2009. The campaign will promote London's value for money offering including the favourable exchange rates and the draw of the sales as well as a Ryanair lead-in fare of just €10.
This activity is part of a series of tactical marketing campaigns that Visit London is running across Europe until the end of March 2009. The campaign will feature the message 'Experience a world of value in London' and highlight the favourable exchange rate for visitors from Europe.
The European activity is part of Visit London's four month international marketing campaign aimed at stimulating visits to the capital during the economic downturn. The campaign is being funded from the £750,000 public/private initiative announced by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, at the end of 2008.
Visit London's marketing initiatives are rolling out across the capital's key visitor markets including Britain, Europe and North America. The combined public and private funding will take the total amount spent on promoting the capital at home and abroad to £3.25m over the next four months – an amount that is expected to deliver £70m in economic benefit to the city.
Visit London's Interim CEO, Sally Chatterjee, said:
"2009 will be a challenging year for the tourism industry and it is crucial to maintain a presence in our key visitor markets. I'm delighted that our activity is rolling out simultaneously both at home and internationally promoting London's value for money offering and great experiences."
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said:
"There's never a bad time to visit London and our continental colleagues have a huge advantage at the moment. Our top hotels, restaurants, shops and shows have always offered the highest quality - but anyone clutching Euros will find them more affordable than ever. Don't hesitate - it's the place to be."
Lesley Kane, Head of Sales & Marketing Europe said:
"Ryanair is pleased to be working with Visit London to grow the number of visitors to London in 2009. In this economic downturn Ryanair's guaranteed lowest fare continues to attract millions of passengers to experience all that London has to offer. "
In the UK, the strapline 'Experience a world of value in London' will be used in a variety of media to communicate the message that London is the place to be over the next few months. Advertorials, as well as national and regional print, radio and online advertising will promote London to an audience whose combined spending from overnight stays alone was worth nearly £6bn to London's visitor economy last year.
US activity will kick off towards the end of January and is aimed at leisure visitors from North America. The print, radio and online promotions will feature Radisson Edwardian hotels and British Airways flight offers as well as highlighting the favourable exchange rates, range of attractions and value for money options available in the capital.
Visit London spends over £14m promoting the capital each year and further marketing activity throughout 2009 is also being developed.

Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress who works in a coffee shop in a busy Hollywood studio lot in between auditions, keeps bumping into the disgruntled Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a dedicated yet stubborn jazz musician who dreams of opening his own jazz club one day.
The two finally get together and Mia even begins to love jazz, but she also begins to lose faith in herself when yet another audition goes wrong. Sebastian believes in her and convinces her to give it one last shot, but she feels he's selling out when he joins a popular band as a keyboard player in an effort to make money for the two of them. Their struggles and differences drive a wedge between them.

Our New Home: How We Made It Better
When anyone moves into a new place, they start to think about the changes they want to make in their new home. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy moved into our new home over a year and a half ago. Like anyone else we started to think about the changes we wanted to make. Of course, since we're an energy advocacy group, most of those thoughts centered on energy use. When we first moved in, our building was an energy waster. Since then we've done a lot to make our new home more energy efficient.
Building Envelope Improvements
When SACE moved into our new building we had an energy audit done, and the auditors found some serious problems. There were several places where exhaust fans and ductwork penetrated the building envelope. There were a number of penetrations in the roof deck. In addition, the existing insulation in the walls and ceilings was old and, in some places, completely missing. Clearly, this building needed some sealing up.
So we had the folks from Pioneer Heating and Air Conditioning here in Knoxville, our heating and air conditioning contractors, take a look. Pioneer and CFI Insulation applied Sealection 500 spray foam insulation to the entire roof deck. This made up for the poor existing insulation and sealed up all the individual ceiling penetrations, bringing the effective R-value of the roof up to 42. They also applied InsulSmart Interior Foam in wall spaces where insulation was lacking.
Then they went around the building sealing up wall penetrations where various fans, ducts and vents had been. They also replaced old weather stripping on the doors and recaulked the windows. While the building is still not completely tight it's a lot better than it was when we started. Having a better sealed and more insulated building allowed us to install a smaller HVAC system when the time came to replace the old units.
Lighting Retrofit
The building originally had a lighting system that was typical of commercial buildings at the time. Most of the fixtures were two-foot by four-foot four-lamp fluorescent fixtures with magnetic ballasts and T12 lamps. Each of these fixtures drew 144 watts.
As of July 2012 these fixtures and lamps will no longer be available on the market. According to DOE's factsheet on fluorescent lamps (.pdf), "[lamps] that will likely be available on the market include high-efficacy T8 lamps and T5 lamps. Certain models of [lamps] (such as some T12s) are likely to become unavailable because, as currently designed, they are too inefficient to meet the prescribed efficacy level."
We replaced the magnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts. We also reduced the number of lamps in most fixtures from four to two and replaced the old T12 fluorescent lamps with new more efficient T8 lamps. We cleaned the fixtures and installed new diffuser panels. All these actions reduced the wattage per fixture from 144 to 55. The light output per fixture was reduced 40% but the energy usage was reduced by 60%. The lighting retrofit cost about $3,400 and is saving us almost $1,300 a year.
Another innovative idea we implemented is the use of a high-performance daylighting system utilizing light tubes. You can see them in the main conference room and in some of the building's hallways. These Solatube Daylighting Systems collect daylight at the rooftop and move it down through a reflective tube to distribute light evenly into a room through a diffuser at the ceiling. This provides free lighting into building areas that would otherwise be unable to get sunlight.
Geothermal Heat Pump
Next we replaced the old inefficient heating and cooling system. The old system consisted of four units. Each of these was a gas pack, combining a gas furnace with an electric air conditioner. Each gas furnace had an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency of 72%; each unit's air conditioner had a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio of around 11.
These older models couldn't be installed today. In 2006 the U.S. Department of Energy set appliance efficiency standards for furnaces and air conditioners calling for an AFUE of greater than 78% and a SEER of greater than 13. DOE estimates that their appliance efficiency standards will save approximately 4.2 quads of energy by 2030 and will save consumers $1 billion, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 33 million metric tons of carbon.
These DOE standards are minimum requirements. We thought we could do better, so we brought in the folks from Pioneer to see what they could provide. They installed a new state-of-the-art geothermal heat pump system. This system was built around two Water-Furnace brand Envision Series split system units. The two units total seven tons of cooling. Each unit has an Energy Efficiency Ratio of more than 16 and a Coefficient of Performance of about 3.8.
While you can't compare these efficiency numbers directly (SEER and AFUE are seasonal averages, EER and COP measure instantaneous performance) you can think of an EER of 16 as roughly the same as a SEER of 18. Also, an AFUE of 78% means that for every Btu of natural gas delivered to the unit, .78 Btus makes it into the heated space. A COP of 3.8 means that for every Btu of electrical energy delivered to the unit 3.8 Btus makes it into the heated space.
Why is a geothermal heat pump so much better? A heat pump doesn't make heat; it moves it from one place to another. When the outside air temperature is low a traditional heat pump has to work hard to pump heat from the cold air outside to your warm living room. But the geothermal heat pump doesn't do that. By running a series of pipes through the ground it takes advantage of the natural thermal characteristics of the earth. As you go deeper into the earth the daily and seasonal variation in temperature is gradually dampened. Once you get down to around thirty feet, the ground temperature takes on a constant value equal to the average annual temperature of the area. Here in Knoxville that temperature is roughly 60 degrees F.
So instead of pumping heat out of cold winter air the geothermal heat pump moves heat out of water warmed by the ground to about 60 degrees. Similarly, in the summer the geothermal heat pump moves heat out of your living room into water cooled by the ground. Since it is moving heat over a smaller temperature difference, the geothermal heat pump does less work, and therefore uses less energy.
Before the retrofit the old system was costing about $6,200 a year to run. The new unit provides the same level of comfort for about $2,200 a year.
Blink Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Just to show that we go the extra mile, we are participating in a program to provide the public with access to electric vehicle charging stations. SACE is part of the EVProject, the largest single deployment of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in history. As a host in the EVProject, SACE had two Blink Network charging stations installed at our facility. We use the charging stations to charge our company car, a Nissan Leaf. The charging stations are also available to the public. They are located behind the building next to the parking lot.
Solar Photovoltaic System
The latest change we've made to bring our building fully into the modern era is installing a bank of solar photovoltaic panels. These panels make up a ground-mounted array just off our parking lot. The good folks at Green Earth Solar here in Knoxville designed and installed this 9 kW system. All of the major components were made in the USA; the solar panels were chosen because they are made in Sharp's Memphis, Tennessee, facility.
SACE took advantage of several public programs to help us with this project. The City of Knoxville provided assistance through the City's Green Building and Incentive Program. We also participated in the Knox County Community Action Committee's Housing and Energy Services Program to take advantage of a Clean Energy Technology Grant. The system also qualified for the TVA Generation Partners' Expanded Pilot (now Green Power Providers). Being part of the Generation Partners project enables SACE to sell the production from our solar system back to the utility at 12 cents per kWh above our electric rate. Since the system is projected to generate about 12,000 kWh annually this will add up to about $2,500 per year.

Overall I am blessed by having this guitar in my life. I got a GREAT deal on it, and I'll never give it up! It's basically my dream guitar, but then again so is everything PRS makes. If this were stolen I would track down that thief and do unspeakable things to him! This guitar is a must have everywhere and there are days where I barely even put...

Overall one of the best guitars available. While versatile in it's own right, it is perhaps best suited for rock playing, leaving the jazz to a softer sounding intrument, and the blues to a twangier instrument. I would consider this guitar the best middle-ground instrument available. [read more on Audiofanzine]Gilly rated this unit on 2003-02-03.
PRS guitars are not for everyone. However, if you are like me and enjoy playing many different styles of music, a PRS might do the trick for you. Keep in mind, PRS guitars vary from model to model, and within a model line itself, so play them ALL. You may be suprised at what you like.

Words and music by Kevin R. Olson
First-Place Song
1. There was something in the way that you spoke to me that day
As you told me of the Savior's love and how he showed the way.
There was something deep inside that so softly testified that it was true.
These precious seeds of truth I owe to you.
2. Long ago a perfect man planted truth in hearts of men.
As my heart received these living seeds I came to understand
That as harvest time draws near, I must spread these words of cheer to all I see.
Your precious seeds of truth live on in me.
Now I will share the seeds of truth you shared with me.
My friend, I wonder if you will ever know
that flowers bloomed from seeds of truth you planted long ago.
I'll always say a prayer of thanks in hushed humility
for the tiny seeds of truth you shared with me.

Shareholders of privately owned Bcom3 approved the deal Sept. 20, paving the way for shareholder Dentsu to invest $498.7 million in cash in Chicago-based Bcom3 and then for France's Publicis to buy Bcom3. The transaction will give Japan's Dentsu a 15% stake in Publicis, which will be the No. 4 agency holding company.
Buyout price drops
Publicis' Bcom3 buyout
Mr. Haupt becomes Publicis president-chief operating officer under Chairman-CEO Maurice Levy. Most of the 75 to 80 Bcom3 corporate staffers are expected to be gone within weeks.
"Maurice Levy is famous for working with a very thin corporate structure," a Bcom3 spokeswoman said.
In an internal posting to the Publicis Web site Sept. 4, Mr. Levy said: "No massive layoffs are planned but simply necessary staff adjustments further to the pooling of administrative functions."

India's Supreme Court recognizes 'transgender' as third gender

Nirmala George, The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, April 15, 2014 6:14AM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, April 15, 2014 9:40AM EDT
NEW DELHI -- India's top court on Tuesday issued a landmark verdict recognizing transgender rights as human rights, saying people can identify themselves as a third gender on official documents.
The Supreme Court directed the federal and state governments to include transgendered people in all welfare programs for the poor, including education, health care and jobs to help them overcome social and economic challenges. Previously, transgendered Indians could only identify themselves as male or female in all official documents.
The decision was praised as giving relief to the estimated 3 million Indians who are transgender.
The court noted that it was the right of every human being to choose their gender while granting rights to those who identify themselves as neither male nor female.
"All documents will now have a third category marked 'transgender.' This verdict has come as a great relief for all of us. Today I am proud to be an Indian," said Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, a transgender activist who, along with a legal agency, had petitioned the court.
The court's decision would apply to individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.
"The spirit of the (Indian) Constitution is to provide equal opportunity to every citizen to grow and attain their potential, irrespective of caste, religion or gender," the court said in its order.
The Supreme Court specified its ruling would only apply to transgender people but not to gays, lesbians or bisexuals. India's LGBT communities have been protesting the court's recent decision to reinstate a colonial-era law banning gay sex, which they say will make them vulnerable to police harassment.
The court also ordered the government to put in place public awareness campaigns to lessen the social stigma against transgender people.
Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan told the court that the "recognition of transgender (people) as a third gender is not a social or medical issue but a human rights issue."
"Transgenders are citizens of this country and are entitled to education and all other rights," he said.
The court ruled that transgender people would have the same right to adopt children as other Indians.
The court said any person who underwent surgery to change his or her sex would be entitled to be legally recognized as belonging to the gender of their choice.
The apex court also ordered state governments to construct separate public toilets for transgender people and create health departments to take care of their medical problems.
Recently, India's Election Commission for the first time allowed a third gender choice -- "other" -- on voter registration forms. The change was made in time for the national elections being held in phases through May 12.
Some 28,000 voters registered themselves in that category.
Many transgendered men in India earn a living by singing and dancing at weddings and births, but others must resort to begging or prostitution.

Dallas Cowboys Potential 2011 Draft Pick: Brooks Reed, DE/OLB, Arizona
Jonathan Bales
In my 2011 Big Board, I rated the defensive ends as follows:
- 1. Robert Quinn, DE/OLB, UNC
- 2. Justin Houston, DE, Georgia
- 3. DaQuan Bowers, DE, Clemson
- 4. Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
- 5. Brooks Reed, DE/OLB, Arizona
- 6. Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri
- 7. Sam Acho, DE/OLB, Texas
- 8. Jabaal Sheard, DE, Pitt
- 9. Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
In my opinion, Bowers, Clayborn, and Kerrigan would be poor fits for a 3-4 system. The others would all transition to outside linebacker.
To me, Quinn and Houston are a cut above the rest. I know I'm much higher on Houston than just about anyone, but he appears to be a much safer pick than second-tier players such as Bowers and Clayborn, both of whom have concerns about their body.
At the end of that second-tier are Aldon Smith and today's feature, Brooks Reed. Reed has been flying up boards of late and, if the Cowboys are unsatisfied with their outside linebackers, Reed will be an option. It's worth noting that defensive coordinator Rob Ryan thinks highly of the Cowboys' current outside linebackers, as he should–I graded Ware, Spencer, and Butler as the team's first, ninth, and third-most efficient players in 2010, respectively.
Scouting Report
As a defensive end in college, Brooks Reed would transition to outside linebacker in the Cowboys' 3-4 scheme. The major issue with this move would be Reed's ability to drop into coverage. He hasn't done it in the past, and I don't think he'd excel at it in the future. Reed's later mobility is rather poor and he doesn't appear to have great hips.
Nonetheless, Reed has been moving up draft boards due to his insane 1.54 10-yard split at the Combine. I don't see that burst on tape. That isn't to say Reed is a poor player–he does show some explosion and quickness–just not to that degree. I'd rate his "get-off" as only average.
Reed's pass-rush arsenal is rather diversified. He possesses solid spin and rip moves, as well as bull and speed rushes. None of these moves is sensational, but all are above-average. Reed is an intense, high-motor player who will work hard to improve at the next level.
Against the run, Reed sometimes has trouble shedding blockers. He's not a liability against the run, but it isn't the strongest part of his game either. Reed's production against both the run and the pass was never outstanding.
Overall, Reed seems to be a rather safe pick. His work ethic and solid athleticism make it unlikely he'll be a bust, which is exactly what you want in a high-round draft pick. If the Cowboys are seeking a rush linebacker with a ton of upside, Reed isn't their guy.
With Reed projected to possibly go in the back of the first-round, he'd be an option for Dallas in the second. I personally don't think the 'Boys need an outside linebacker that high, but if Von Miller and Robert Quinn are options in the first-round, Reed could be so as well in the second.
Other Potential Dallas Cowboys Draft Picks in 2011
Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
Cameron Heyward, DT/DE, Ohio State
Muhammad Wilkerson, DT/DE, Temple
Martez Wilson, ILB/OLB, Illinois
Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College

The Mackey Terrace Apartments project, located at 625 Owens Drive in Novato, involved the rehabilitation of a 50-unit, three-story wood framed structure constructed in 1994 as an affordable, multi-family Employer Assisted Housing (EAH) complex for low-income families, adults age 62 and over and persons with disabilities.
Nonprofit EAH Housing has been creating community by developing, managing and promoting quality affordable housing since 1968.
"What is noteworthy about this rehab project is the exceptional way that all of those involved, from the owner, architect, contractor and subcontractors and coordinated their activities while working collaboratively with each other from the initial planning stages through construction to make this project a success," said Eric Bostrom with Midstate Construction Company.
Unit improvements include the replacement of flooring, kitchen cabinets/ countertops, appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting, HVAC units, and adding new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades where applicable.
Common area improvements include new flooring, trim, handrails, lighting, paint, a 99-square foot building addition for a lounge area, the remodeling of offices, an ADA restroom, HVAC upgrades, and a new coffee bar kitchenette.
Improvements to the building envelope include the complete replacement of siding, windows, shingle roof, gutters, and exterior paint.
The site was also upgraded with ADA-accessible pathways, landscaping, and additional handicapped parking. The garden area was completely rebuilt to include new raised planter beds, fencing, and trellis, along with a new entry patio including bollard lighting, trellis, and decorative brick veneer retaining wall.
This project was financed with a $15,933,000 tax-exempt construction and permanent loan from Union Bank of California, a low-income housing tax credit investor loan of $9,196,953 from Merritt Community Capital, and a seller carryback loan of $5,382,880 from the North Marin Senior Housing Corporation.
Primary financing programs included 4% low-income housing tax credits (and a California debt limit allocation from the state's tax-exempt bond authority).
Mackey Terrace Apartments also has an on-site manager's office, a community room with a kitchen, resident gardens and elevators. Weekly food pantry distributions are conducted onsite by a resource coordinator who is also available to help tenants find the essential services they need.

Great post! Spot on. You can't swing a dead cat in GC without hitting someone Phyllis had a romp in the hay/bed/couch/table/desk/dumpster with.Quote EVSCNB:Quote Just Mary:Quote EVSCNB:Quote lfga: i realy cant blame Phyllis for being upset..i know i have said this before,but you shouldnt miss around with your sister,s husband....never....or atlease wait till the divorce is over...i know Avery didnt cause the break-up...but she should have know it would hurt her sister,when she seen her husband together...
You know what?! I have 3 sisters and I would not go after their ex but Phyllis deserves this. She just never learns. If Avery and Nick can be happy then so be it. Phyllis is a hypocritical trampy chick and she truly reaped what she sowed.
I disagree! No one deserves to have their sister betray them in such a way - no one and what makes Avery the "avenger". She's certainly not innocent - that's a fact.
Also, the terms hypocritical, trampy and reaping what they sew can apply to all three.
Yes, Phyllis cheated on Nick with Ronan - we all know that -Phyllis slept with Ronan AFTER Nick whimped out on her but Nick cheated on her with Sharon and before that cheated on Sharon with her and before that cheated on Sharon with Grace.
Now, sweet little Avery admitted she cheated on her husband with Dylan which ended her own marriage and seeing she was a Summers growing up and her last name is Bailey-Clark (2 last names and Dylan is a McAlvoy - there has to be yet another victim out there.
Phyllis, the sk^nk that she is, slept with Nick when he and Sharon were at crossroads overy losing Cassie.
Phyllis, the sk^nk that she is, slept with Nick while with Jack.
Phyllis, the sk^nk that she is, slept with DEACON ON A DUMPSTER!! EWWWWWWWWWW
Phyllis, the sk^nk that she is, was supported by her husband even after finding out she tried to kill Cricket and Paul after she and Ronan had him look like a punk when the affair story was just a story. Then she slept with him, Ronan, in her family home on the couch where her daughter saw them.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Nick and Avery are happy. Phyllis and Nick could have been happy if she could keep her legs closed for a day! If Avery avoided every man Phyllis has slept with, she may as well leave Genoa City.
