Raymond Saunders: Carnegie Museum of Art/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts
Article excerpt
In 1953, at the age of 19, Raymond Saunders had his first solo exhibition in Pittsburgh; several years later he left his native city and began showing widely in the Bay Area. The recent exhibition of Saunders' work at the Carnegie displayed nine new paintings, while the Center for the Arts exhibited a wide selection of images on paper, as well as two large mixed-media pieces on plate glass.
Saunders' delicate works on paper combine elements such as pages from children's books, cartoons, domestic and foreign stamps, beautifully painted flowers, and even, in one piece, a de Kooning-esque drawing of a woman. In these collages ready-made images are often effectively decentered; Saunders also understands how to use brushwork or grids to unify pictures containing disparate elements. Seen as a group these pictures can become cloying, but taken in isolation most reveal the hallmarks of a true generosity and elegance. When Saunders focuses on creating clean compositions, he can produce paintings that are genuinely impressive, such as Things Were Never $1.50, 1995. But when these painted panels are supplemented with drawing, and placed on the walls and floor, along with assemblages of framed photographs, dolls, or flowers, the additional elements contribute little to his narratives.
Linking Saunders' work to jazz and the art of Romare Bearden, the handouts that were provided focused on the artist's interest in African-American history, which was revealed in elements of his collages. …

Mike Rutherford pays £6 a gallon but Labour pays a higher price
Over the last few days, the British-based, 50 million-strong army of car drivers and passengers finally woke-up, came to their senses and yelled "enough" at a Government that purports to represent them. Labour has been rumbled.
Let's be realistic and concede that both major parties have squeezed soft-touch drivers for decades. But New Labour has gone one step further. It has abandoned the gentle art of fleecing and replaced it with a less subtle, more mercenary form of state-sponsored grand theft auto, aka excessive motoring taxation. Everybody has their limits and car occupants, truckers, white van men and motorcyclists reached theirs this week.
May was a mad motoring month. And the last seven days represent the weirdest week since the tragic, multiple deaths of MG, Rover and Longbridge. The Government's dubious role in helping to send motoring costs through the sunroof has now become one of the hottest domestic news stories. At the same time, car-related taxation has shifted (not before time) to the top of the political agenda. And as far as I can tell after spending the last week in London, Leeds and numerous places in between, motoring rip-offs are dominating conversations among ordinary folk.
One parent I spoke to assured me that he's withdrawing his daughter from Nottingham University because 1) she can no longer afford the petrol that gets her from home to lecture room, 2) imminent and inflation-busting vehicle excise duties will cost her more per annum than her car is worth and 3) Labour-controlled Nottingham City Council is about to raise at least £80 million by dumping Workplace Parking Taxes on skint students/workers such as her. Meanwhile, the BBC reported on Thursday that some local-authority motoring fees, fines and charges are illegal.
But despite all the above, Brown and his colleagues still don't get it. Even with the arrival of the £6 gallon (BP garage, M1, Tuesday) the PM is committed to raising rather than lowering fuel taxes. And yes, this is the same man who slapped an 83 per cent tax on the pump price of fuel when he was Chancellor. For that reason alone, he already deserves a page in the history books as the politician who made the largest ever gross profits from motorists by imposing the highest duties on petrol and diesel.
I've long warned Mr Brown and his associates (some of them, like him, non-drivers) that most of the 50 million who use motor cars on a daily basis also possess voting cards. And I also predicted that after receiving a relentless kicking from Brown's enforcers for more than a decade, those same car users would counter-attack by kneeing Labour in the ballot boxes. That's precisely what's happening.
And it will continue to happen because there's increasing evidence that the traditional motoring tax package (fuel duties, VED, VAT) which currently hands the PM around £52 billion a year is only the icing on the automotive cake for the Brown Government. What can loosely be described as the British motor industry has cost Labour next to nothing in subsidies since 1997. Yet the car business here generates an astonishing £200bn per annum. Nearly one million British workers who design, build, deliver, sell, finance, administer, service, repair or recycle cars collectively pay tens of billions in income tax and National Insurance contributions alone. Overseas car companies ploughed at least £9.7bn into Britain recently. And in a typical year the value of automotive exports from the UK runs at between £20bn and £30bn.
What do cars and drivers do for Gordon Brown's Treasury? They bail it out and prop it up. Without car manufacturing and cars in use, the British economy would collapse. Mr Brown knows this better than anybody, yet his unfathomable dislike of personal mobility machines and the people who make or travel in them has been seriously detrimental to Britain PLC. Under Gordon's not so careful, car-hostile watch, Ford has totally abandoned car-making at Dagenham, Vauxhall did the same at Luton, Peugeot has binned Ryton, Longbridge became an MG Rover murder scene and Blackpool's TVR is another basket case. Yet at or around the same time, he introduced fuel taxes as high as 84p in the pound and he has milked the beleaguered motorist - and then some - like no other politician before him.
For these and a variety of other reasons, I conclude that Gordon Brown's just not one of us. He and those around him simply don't know how financially painful it is to pull up alongside a pump in a privately purchased and owned family motor, fill its tank with heavily taxed fuel... then receive little if any change from £100.
Worse than Prescott? Possibly.

AU Press Releases
Alfred University women's basketball defeats RIT, 58-55
AU held off a furious rally by the Tigers, who nearly came back from an 18-point deficit with 13 minutes left, trimming the AU lead to one point, 56-55, with 26 seconds to go. After RIT missed a shot that would have given them the lead, junior forward Hannah Meier (Rochester, NY/Greece Odyssey) sunk a pair of free throws with nine seconds left to seal the victory for the Lady Saxons.
The Lady Saxons (10-8, 4-5 Empire 8) held a slight rebounding edge over RIT, 45-42, and narrowly outshot RIT from the floor, 37 percent to 36 percent. AU shot 33 percent (five of 15) from three-point range to only 15 percent (two of 13) for RIT (3-17, 0-11 Empire 8). The host Tigers hurt themselves at the free throw line, connecting on only 11 of 24 attempts.
Alfred was led by sophomore point guard Lyndsay Murphy (Almond, NY/Hornell) who finished with a game-high 27 points (on 11-of-23 shooting), 10 assists and four steals. Senior forward Melanie Jackson (Andover, NY/Wellsville) netted 10 points, a team-high of 14 boards and two steals. Freshmen guard Christina Jordan (Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY/Cornwall) made three from long range on her way to 11 points and six rebounds, while junior guard Abbey Schaffnit (Bemus Point, NY/ Maple Grove) had four points, three assists and three rebounds.
The Tigers (3-17, 0-11 Empire 8) were led by Sharon Dennis who had 21 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks. Also for RIT, Charley ScottMcGrail finished with 20 points and six rebounds.
AU is in action next on Friday, Feb 6, at 6 p.m at Empire 8 foe Stevens Institute of Technology.

Action Behind The Margins
This series of conferences and screenings analyse, from the 1970s onwards, the creative use of abandoned and peripheral spaces, particularly in the Lower Manhattan area of New York. The debates delve deeper into photographic projects and performances, along with screenings of films and videos, to reveal a version of the city that greatly differs from the official one.
09 june, 2010 - 24 june, 2010
Action Behind the Margins
During the 1970s, a time of intensive de-industrialisation and the transition to an information economy in New York, artists found new ways to use the city. The creative use of abandoned and peripheral spaces intensified, especially in Lower Manhattan, which was becoming a centre of the commercial art world. Action Behind the Margins combines debates, performances pieces and film screenings to reveal a city where public and private spheres intermingle and marginal subjects assert their right to the city.

From Ecstasy to Rapture. 50 Years of Alternative Spanish Film
Since the 1950s, Spain has been home to an important tradition of experimental film cut off from conventional exhibition spaces. This series was designed to give this unknown branch of film the visibility it deserves. From more than a thousand films, forty-three were chosen to be screened at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in six sessions. In order to spark a dialogue between the different eras, this vastly diverse group of seminal films was shown out of chronological order, blazing a trail through the almost unknown history of Spanish cinema.

Unused / unissued material - no paperwork - dates unclear or unknown.
Air to air views of Hawker Hart Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter biplanes. The aircraft are made by the Hawker Company. There are a group of planes flying in formation. They come in to land but don't. (Some signs of decomposition)
The aircraft seen at 01:40 is certainly a Hawker Hart, serial number J-9937. Attached is a nice photo of it back in the day....
ew/1930/untitled0 - 0253.html
All of the craft look to be the same to me, so I'd say that they're probably all Hawker Hart models.

A man holds a gun to a man's head, and two women agents hold guns on a man. Agents load their guns in preparation for an encounter with bank robbers.
► A man and a woman are tied to posts inside a boat that is filling with water: the woman is covered by water before she is freed, another woman is trapped when part of her dress gets stuck and she struggles then begins to go limp. A man and a woman are bound and gagged through much of the movie.
► A woman threatens a man by asking, "How do you feel about a genital shocking taser gun?" and the man says "I'm open to it." People talk about enemas. A woman says "I'll kill her and I'll enjoy it." A man yells at a woman. A man orders another man to jump into water even though he cannot swim.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Story highlights
- William Rockefeller Jr. is the man at the center of New York's train derailment
- According to a union rep, he's been a locomotive engineer for almost 11 years
- "He's a man of a lot of character. He's honest. He's sincere," the rep says
- Rockefeller's lawyer says his client is married, with a stepson and granddaughter
Details started to trickle out Tuesday about the engineer at the center of Sunday's New York train derailment.
William Rockefeller Jr., or Billy, has worked as a locomotive engineer for almost 11 years, according to Anthony Bottalico, a union representative who has been meeting with the man.
He said Rockefeller started out as a janitor at Grand Central and "worked his way up."
"He's a man of a lot of character. He's honest. He's sincere. He's never been disciplined, that I know of, on the railroad," said Bottalico. "He's got a great attitude and he comes to work every day, and everybody's very proud and honored to work with him."
The representative described Rockefeller, who is cooperating with authorities, as a good human being, a strong person and someone who goes out of his way for others.
"I think it takes a strong man to come down and ... be honest -- and that's what Billy's doing. That's what strong men are. You know, strong men are people who can come out and tell it like it is, and, you know, be accountable. And that's what Billy is," said Bottalico.
He also said Rockefeller apparently "was nodding off and caught himself too late" before the accident that killed four people and injured 67 others. The engineer has not been charged.
"I don't believe that, in my opinion, that anybody could ever ... make Billy feel worse than he's making himself feel today. So Billy feels terrible. Whether it was his fault or not his fault, it's his train," said Bottalico.
Also speaking on the engineer's behalf Tuesday was Rockefeller's lawyer, Jeffrey Chartier.
The attorney has met with his client, police and National Transportation Safety Board representatives.
He said that Rockefeller worked as a volunteer firefighter and is married, with a stepson and a granddaughter.
"Billy's a good man and, you know, I hope he can move forward from here," said Bottalico.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth that can invade other body parts. Of course, not all tumors are cancerous – some can be benign, but others can spread to other body parts and cause a lot of damage. According to experts, cancer is a complex set of diseases, which are triggered by infections, genes, unhealthy lifestyle and environmental exposure to toxins and radiation.
According to newest studies, poor diet and an inactive lifestyle significantly increase the risk of cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund links 20% of all cancers in the USA with poor diet, weight gain and alcohol abuse. Like most diseases, cancer can be prevented with a few simple lifestyle changes.
First, you should put yourself on a healthy diet and stay physically active. Quit smoking if you're a smoker, and try to keep your weight in check. In order to reduce the risk even further, avoid eating the following foods:
- Red and processed meat
Bacon, ham, sausages and other types of processed meat are very unhealthy. This type of meat contains numerous additives and a lot of salt, which increases the risk of colorectal and other types of cancer. Instead of processed meat, focus on eating organic and grass-fed meat.
- Refined and sugar-rich foods
Foods rich in fructose and refined sugar can result in many health problems, and they also feed cancer cells. In a study from 2006, people who eat a lot of sugar are at an increased risk of cancer, so limit the amount of sugary foods in your diet and use natural replacements for sugar such as honey, maple syrup or stevia.
- White flour
There aren't many foods nowadays that are free of white flour. This flour is unhealthy due to the high carb content, which may increase the risk of breast cancer. White flour also increases the insulin levels rapidly, so avoid it or replace it in your diet with quinoa, whole wheat, barley and almond flour.
- Smoked and pickled food
Although really tasty, smoked and pickled foods significantly increase the risk of cancer. These foods contain nitrates which turn to N-nitroso in the body, a carcinogenic compound. Besides these compounds, smoked foods contain a lot of preservatives that can damage your cells and cause cancer.
- Hydrogenated oils
When processed, hydrogenated oils release toxins that can seriously damage your cells and raise the risk of cancer. Instead of these oils, use coconut, palm and olive oil for your meals.
- Farmed salmon
Most of the salmon present on the market is farmed and unhealthy, and differs from natural salmon a lot. Farmed salmon is full of toxins and antibiotics, as well as mercury, dioxins, toxaphene, flame retardants and polychlorinated biphenyls that can increase the risk of cancer. Remember, the cheaper salmon is farmed.
- Microwave popcorn
Microwave popcorn contains perfluorooctanoic acid that can raise the risk of kidney and bladder cancer. According to one study, this compound can cause female infertility, so make sure you're eating organic popcorn.
- Potato chips
The favorite treat of millions contains high amounts of salt as well as compounds such as acrylamide, which is a known carcinogen. Experts warn that potato chips contains dangerous compounds that can cause prostate, breast, ovary and digestive cancers, and they have a lot of calories as well, which is why you should avoid them. Instead of commercial potato chips, make your own at home with sea salt and olive oil.

Dozens of aircraft and thousands of passengers have been left stranded at British airports because of new American security rules imposed after the latest terrorist threat.
The US government is now demanding that carriers provide details of passengers on board their aircraft before they take off.
Until Thursday this information could be sent across the Atlantic once the plane was in the air, as long as it arrived in time to allow the Americans to clear the aircraft for landing.
Airports across the country started the slow process of returning to a normal time-table yesterday, after hundreds of flights were grounded during Thursday's chaos.
Heathrow cancelled 100 inbound and outbound flights, compared with 652 the previous day. There were 44 cancellations at Gatwick and 90 at Stansted. British Airways cancelled just over 100 flights yesterday, compared with 360 on Thursday.
There were still long queues inside and outside terminals because of the hastily imposed security restrictions, but passengers seemed more resigned than angry as they snaked their way into the building.
However, Douglas Alexander, the Transport Secretary, warned last night that security measures at British airports had changed for good. Asked whether the restrictions being imposed were here to stay, he said: "I do not think we will be able to return to what we had in the past.
"There are many people being inconvenienced, still being inconvenienced, after the first 48 hours and I am very sorry for the difficulties they have encountered.
"But I think the public will understand in the light of what has emerged during the past 48 hours that we really have had no alternative than to take the measures we have introduced."
Mr Alexander said the Government would "review the arrangements that we have which reflect the specific threat level that we are presently experiencing".
Speaking on the BBC Six O'Clock News, he added: "In due course I would expect my department to issue new security arrangements to the airports.
"I cannot pre-judge at what stage we will be able to make that change."
Unsurprisingly, the worst delays were being suffered by passengers on transatlantic flights.
The new demands from the US Transportation Security Administration for earlier passenger information is adding to the logjam already faced by British airports as they struggle to return to some semblance of normality.
The delays centre on what is known as Advanced Passenger Information.
Earlier this year Brussels warned airlines that they could be breaking European Union data confidentiality laws if they continued providing this information to the US authorities.
Attempts to resolve the issue, which has left carriers facing the threat of action from both sides of the Atlantic, have been continuing over the past few months.
Another cause of disruption and delay has been finding space for incoming planes, because the stands they would usually occupy have been taken up by grounded aircraft.
Heathrow alone operates 75 services to the US each day and takes the same number of inbound flights.
MAXjet, which runs services from Stansted to JFK and Washington airports, faced up to two-hour delays yesterday, even though its passenger load is smaller than services operated by the main carriers.
Virgin Atlantic has coped by moving its aircraft off the stands to another part of the airport to free up space for other services.
British Airways has adopted a similar approach for its aircraft.
However, passengers were still facing waits of up to two hours sitting on planes waiting for clearance.
In Whitehall yesterday, senior industry executives met the Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, John Reid, the Home Secretary, and Mr Alexander, under the aegis of the National Aviation Security Committee.
However the discussions were confined to reviewing how the new arrangements had been enforced and how the situation had been over the previous 36 hours.
It was clear last night that while airlines have no choice but to conform, there is some unhappiness at the impact and the potential long-term cost of the tighter security regime.
"It is already costing the industry as a whole £3 billion a year," said one source.
Some passengers have already been frightened off by the tightened security.
One woman pulled her teenage daughter out of a security queue at Manchester airport to stop her going into the departure lounge for a flight to the US.
Jessica Ingle, 15, from Wigan was due to fly into Newark in New Jersey, and then to Austin, Texas.
Her mother, Anthea, 33, grabbed her daughter out of the queue and asked for her bags to be off-loaded.
Mrs Ingle said: "I just felt I couldn't let her go through.
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to her. It was too much of a risk."

Redefining pro-life
Letter to the Editor | Sunday, April 6, 2008
In response to Stephen Wallace's Apr. 2 letter "Defining pro-life," I have to disagree with his contention that "pro-life" should only include abortion, embryo-destructive research and euthanasia issues. While a common tenet of the pro-life movement is that "life begins at conception," it seems to forget that life doesn't stop at birth. The evil Democrats that Mr. Wallace castigates are the ones passing social welfare programs to make sure that these children have food to eat, a roof over their heads and clothes to wear. While Mr. Wallace might not see this as admirable as compared with, say, ensuring that every fetus comes to term, I applaud Congressman Donnelly for recognizing that pro-life means more than just protecting life before it is born. Poverty, genocide, war, and disease are all issues that should be of utmost concern to those who truly care about protecting life.Only by narrowing his definition of "pro-life" can Mr. Wallace seriously claim that voting Democrat would be immoral. Once the definition of pro-life expands, his argument falls apart. Along with Mr. Wallace's narrow "pro-life" issues, the Republican Party is the same party that is focused on prolonging the war in Iraq, resisting action on climate change and stifling spending on social programs while preserving tax breaks on stock dividends for the super rich. If you narrow the definition of "pro-life" enough so that the Democrats are always voting outside of that definition it becomes much easier to say that Republicans are the only moral choice. Narrowing the definition of what is "pro-life" is a Karl Rove tactic used to blind people – especially religious people – from voting issues that truly are "life" issues. As long as this narrow definition of "pro-life" endures, it will remain a wedge issue that prevents us from seriously discussing issues that affect the lives of everyone in this country.

Hello, Bonjour and welcome! I'm Jill – a Scot living near Paris – author, recipe developer, and photographer behind the website.
Normally it's the other way around: you write a blog, then get published. Well, I was lucky and did it the other way around! I started this blog end 2010 to coincide with the launch of my first recipe book, Mad About Macarons at the BBC Good Food Show in Scotland with my publisher, Waverley Books – hence the blog's name (even if I stray from macarons most of the time). Since then the book has been translated into three languages, reprinted 9 times, and Waverley braved me again in 2015 to publish another easy patisserie recipe book, Teatime in Paris!
I didn't plan on moving from Edinburgh to Paris. I just happened in 1992 when I followed my Frenchman to learn some French. I hadn't entertained before so I had to learn to cook for – and from – my new French family and friends.
Today I'm totally immersed in a healthy French lifestyle and live near Saint-Germain-en-Laye just outside Paris with my husband, Antoine and two teenage girls, Julie (17) and Lucie (15). When not in the kitchen or running after the girls, you'll find me seeking the best seasonal food, wine and tea in and around Paris.
For the latest recipes and articles on le blog, subscribe to receive email updates (choose daily, weekly or monthly), freshly delivered to your inbox. If you're on Instagram come and join my daily distraction and passion for taking pics!

ABOUT THE RECIPES: French Inspiration
You'll see that ALL of the recipes here are EASY to make:
you won't find recipes with complicated steps over a few pages – but you will find recipes that are inspired by great French chefs!
Living near Paris and spoiled for choice – either by fresh, seasonal ingredients at the market, or dazzled by the incredible creations on show in restaurants, patisseries, and chocolate shops – I'm here to pass on my Parisian inspiration. As a "lazy gourmet", I aim to explore how to make easier versions inexpensively at home in my non-professional kitchen using good QUALITY PRODUCE that's NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND.
Most recipes are French (starting with my very first classic recipe learned, Salade de Chèvre Chaud) but there are some Scottish influences that creep in – Italian too, as my husband is Corsican French – and I love re-creating recipes picked up from my travels. Recipes are reduced in sugar as much as possible to let the main ingredients shine through.
If you're here for the first time, check out the Recipe Index. You'll find recipes marked as gluten-free and for macaron, meringue and financier lovers who need egg whites, I have a whole database of egg yolk recipes, so nothing goes to waste.
If you have any BAKING QUESTIONS or QUERIES about my books, check out the Frequently Asked Questions page as you're question may already be answered. I've also included a Glossary of Cooking Terms, so that there's no confusion between our British and American talk.
The ultimate highlight is to see YOU make the recipes from either both my books and/or here on le blog, so please do share your delicious pics with us on the Facebook page or on Instagram (tag me @MadAboutMacarons).
Like all French roads that lead to Paris and then dizzyingly circle the Arc de Triomphe, my roads directed me to France and the French life: from regular family holidays in France as a child; my love of French flute music during a brief spell as professional musician; wine-tasting as a seriously fun hobby; to a French husband, who whisked me to Paris in 1992 following postgraduate marketing studies in my native Scotland. All that was left was to learn to speak French, entertain and cook like my new French friends and family …
I was born and grew up in Edinburgh. If you're American, this explains my British spelling of words.
From the earliest age I baked with Granny. Whether it was date turnovers, caramel "stuff", matrimonial cake or copious amounts of snowballs, everything was recorded in her Black Book. We were so used to homemade fare that our treats were sometimes bought cakes: a sticky vanilla doughnut or a Tunnock's Teacake with a bottle of Cream Soda from Norman the Baker's milk-chocolate and cream van that hooted outside the front door in Musselburgh.
Grandpa was a fishmonger, delivering fish around the coastal villages south-east of Edinburgh. He preferred mince and tatties while we often landed his best catch of fish served simply at home with Dad's homemade chips.
It was on our family holidays to France in the late 70s that I discovered my first vanilla "flan" in the back of a sweltering Cortina car with no air-conditioning, washed down with warm lemonade that called itself "Pshitt" on the label. It was the start of a long love affair with this country. Dad drove us from Edinburgh to the South of France most summers during the 80s. Thereafter car air-conditioning arrived to replace towels on seats and Opel Fruits – and I discovered hairspray.
I started to cook while studying music at Edinburgh University and playing/touring with orchestras. It was trendy to be Vegetarian so I joined in – until it became slightly out of control as the first signs of anorexia crept in: a typical dinner was a "stew" out of a simple tin of tomatoes sprinkled with dried herbs. Thankfully my parents stepped in and it was on trips to Cyprus, Italy, and during two consecutive summers of flute studies in France where I gradually discovered that I enjoyed a new world of fresh food, full of flavour: tasty homemade bread, olive oil, fresh fish, colourful Mediterranean vegetables, garlic and cheese! From then on, taking pleasure in good, healthy food has been an obsession for myself and my family.
After a brief freelance spell and teaching in schools, the musical menu changed course to wine. I poured over the books for a first Diploma from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and a wine research project (with Waverley Vintners) to a Marketing Masters, but a brand manager post in the wine trade quickly fizzled out when I giggled at a non-wine-drinking Frenchman at the local pub (our business school "annex"). His revenge? Whisking me to Paris. Nearly 25 years on, I'm still here and Antoine and I continue to learn about wine on our travels together.
For ten years I worked at the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) until 2002, I quit my publishing/marketing post in exchange for a Mum's apron, determined to cook like the French. Baking challenges took hold and before I knew it, was hooked on making macarons. Experimenting with delicious failures, I came up with a fool-proof recipe that worked in a non-professional kitchen. I've been so grateful to have Waverley Books take me on with the first book, Mad About Macarons and last year we continued the adventure with Teatime in Paris which includes easy recipes for pastries, where to find the best ones in Paris, and my infatuation with French chefs' creations.
Today I adore the French diet, especially as I can ENJOY ALL THE FULL FAT BUTTER, CREAM and SUGAR – but it's deliciously in strict moderation with no snacking. I learned quickly from the French culture that it's a crime to waste food too. Portions are not huge and we finish everything that's on our plate. You won't find packet mixes in our house, either. Home cooking and baking is also important to us at home as we know what ingredients are used: good, honest without the preservatives, and seasonal or local as much as possible.
I've been fascinated with Antoine's French family and friends' relaxed approach to the "plaisir" or pleasure of food. Even with two teenagers, our evening meals are something to look forward to; even if short, we enjoy sitting around the table as it's a precious time for us to catch up with news of the day.
Now, alas – even in France – the giant coffee and sandwich fast-food chains are seriously on the rise, especially at lunchtimes. Thankfully it's still rare to see French people eating and drinking on-the-go, something I sincerely hope will remain exceptional as part of such a champion gourmet culture. So let's stick to French traditions by truly enjoying good, honest, healthy food at regular mealtimes with no grazing along the way.
Although still a full-time Mum, I devote the rest of my time to writing about food and am currently working on another book – this time with a completely different twist. I also love an excuse to take part in French gourmet festivals: lately I revelled in the most challenging of sweetest jury duty for chef Christophe Roussel's amateur pastry competition (including Mercotte, France's equivalent of Mary Berry) in La Baule. So, if you need a taster – then count me in!
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions and please do sign up for my new monthly newsletter for a dose of French life, sharing discoveries at home in Paris and abroad.
Cheers, santé, and thank you for popping by!
I'd love to hear from you if you have any questions about my work. I am happy to accept quality food-related product reviews that I believe will be of interest to my readers. I only post honest but positive feedback (if any negative, I just don't post). For product reviews, food/travel promotion or events, do feel free to contact me with your product or concept and I'll get back to you soonest. A bientôt !

What are you working on right now?
The new branch of Fifteen Cornwall (fifteencornwall.co.uk) opened last month so it's all hands on deck. In addition to 15 chefs, we've got 21 students starting basic training and because we're based at the Extreme Academy in Watergate Bay, their induction includes surfing and mountain boarding! I'm flat out in the kitchen and we aim to use 80% Cornish produce so I'm running round tracking down weird and wonderful stuff. The only instruction is that it has to have the Italian slant because of Jamie's roots so we're probably the only restaurant in the world serving Cornish/Italian dishes!
Where would you rather be?
St James in Barbados. I was the chef de cuisine at Sandy Lane out there.
What's so special about it?
Happy faces, rum, beautiful beaches - not unlike Cornwall really. In one year on Barbados, I made more friends than I did in a decade in London. I was never a big reggae fan, it didn't sound right over here, but the guys I worked with played it all the time. It felt so right, the perfect soundtrack to island life.
What would you do there?
Go diving. There's a Russian wreck off the island which is great to explore and later this year they'll be sinking an American warship which will become the biggest wreck in the northern hemisphere. I love night diving too. It's a great way to clear your head. I almost stop breathing I get so chilled out.
Where would you stay?
Lone Star (thelonestar.com), a converted 1940s gas station right on the beach. Michael Winner goes there for his Sunday brunch - a mean bloody mary and eggs benedict.
Who would you take with you?
My partner, Paula.
What's the one place you'd like to see before you die?
Dominica, so that I could dive with whale sharks.

The ins and outs of immigration visas
You can live anywhere in the world if you have enough money, writes Tiffany Ap
So you want to get out of Hong Kong. Perhaps you are tired of the crowds or the pollution. You dream of living in a country where the pavements are wide, the universities cheap and accessible and owning a house and garden is within the realm of possibility.
Plenty of Hongkongers left for Canada and Australia in the wake of June 4, 1989. Many quickly returned to Hong Kong, complaining their adopted countries were simply too boring.
If you are looking to get out, immigration visas are often the best option. With that in mind, Money Post breaks down what you need to apply to some of the more popular destinations. We also explain how to get an investor visa for Hong Kong.
Investor visas can be divided into two categories. The first is an entrepreneur visa suited to those who want set up and run a business within that country. To qualify for this the applicant must point to a business track record, have lots of money and be able to prove that their investment would generate jobs or have other positive effects. Visas are decided case by case; applicants must persuade immigration officials that they would be good for the country economically.
Most people go for the second type of visa, which is aimed at passive investors. Here, people just need to have lots of cash. Many countries will grant residency based solely on bank balance.
John Hu (left), a migration consultant, says the most popular destinations for his Hong Kong clients are Australia, Britain, the United States and Canada. Most are not seeking business opportunities, he says.
"Most would like to send their children overseas, not necessarily to make more money outside," says Hu. "It may diversify their business but the main purpose is to live and study abroad. Children can enjoy education benefits … or maybe they're seeking a more politically stable environment."
United States
For those looking for a slice of the American dream, the most popular investor visa plan goes under the heading of EB-5. To qualify, individuals must invest at least US$1 million in a new business or US$500,000 for businesses in rural or high-unemployment areas. The investment must either create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for US workers within two years. There is a quota of 10,000 visas a year, of which mainland investors claim as much as 70 per cent.
Eugene Chow, an immigration lawyer who helped process the first Hong Kong EB-5 application in 1991, says the US is attractive because the main applicant does not need a business background. "They can be a housewife or a student, as long as the source of funds is clean. If dad is a senior executive and the money is documented, he can stay in China to generate money while they live or study," he says.
Last November, the Australian government relaxed its visa requirements with a new investor scheme aimed at the very rich.
Called the Significant Investor Visa, it asks for A$5 million (HK$41 million) put into approved funds. The investor only needs to stay in the country for 160 days over four years to keep the visa valid. The scheme does away with English proficiency tests, which is good news for many Asian applicants. It does not screen for prior business experience, either.
For entry as an entrepreneur, Australia offers the Business Innovation stream. The applicant must demonstrate that she or he will add value to the economy, by exporting Australian goods, creating or maintaining at least two jobs, or introducing new technology. Once approved, the visa is valid for four years and is eligible for extension. In 2011, both the mainland and Hong Kong were in the top 10 suppliers of emigrants to Australia.
Canada experienced such demand for its investor and entrepreneur visas that it stopped accepting applications on July 1 last year. Between 2008 and 2011, about 17 per cent of applications were from Hong Kong or China. The investor scheme granted visas to those willing to make a five-year, C$800,000 (HK$6.3 million) commitment to a set list of government-approved, Canada-focused funds in addition to proving a net worth of C$1.6 million and having business experience. Hu believes that, when the investor programme opens again, the required investment amount will double to C$1.6 million.
Canada has two entrepreneur pathways. The first federal scheme is open to those who speak French or English, can show two years of business experience, a minimum net worth of C$300,000 and own at least one third of a business that will create at least one job. The government is reviewing this programme as well which was designed in the 1970s and features such a low threshold that the backlog of applicants stretches to eight years at some visa offices.
There is also a Provincial Nomination Programme for entrepreneurs, which has not been suspended. Requirements for that vary from province to province, asking for a personal net worth anywhere between C$250,000 and C$800,000.
Hong Kong
Unlike the other destinations, Hong Kong's investor visa scheme is driven by those wanting to invest in the city. Hong Kong's low taxes, abundant human capital and position as a springboard to the mainland market entices many entrepreneurs. Investors who are willing to put HK$10 million into one of a set of government-approved investment plans (generally Hong Kong or mainland-focused mutual funds) can apply for a visa under the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES). Real estate was excluded from CIES following a 2010 amendment, presumably on the view that HK$10 million was too low a threshold.
Things aren't as simple for mainland applicants. In addition to the HK$10 million investment, they are required to hold permanent residency in another country. This requirement was introduced to cap the influx of mainlanders, who made up 85 per cent of CIES applications last year.
However, because the government doesn't distinguish among third-party jurisdictions, mainland applicants are increasingly obtaining residency in places like Vanuatu, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. They do not need to set foot in the country to become a permanent resident, says Stephen Barnes (left) of the Hong Kong Visa Centre. Last year, Gambian residency was listed on nearly 60 per cent of mainland applicants to the CIES plan.
Those wanting to run a business in Hong Kong can apply for an entrepreneur visa, which takes three to five months. Applicants must submit a business plan and show how their idea will have a positive impact, such as job creation. There is no minimum job-creation target; a handful seems to suffice.
David Lambert, who came from England to Hong Kong on an entrepreneurial visa to start a construction design company, says he expects to hire one person in the first six months and a second in the first year.
Stephen Mansfield, who was also got an investment visa, says: "Over the next 18 months … I expect there to be three others working for this business."
Britain offers an investment visa aimed at people who can invest at least £1 million (HK$12.4 million) in a fund or scheme offered by a British-regulated institution. Alternatively, the £1 million can come in the form of loans, provided the money was borrowed from a British-regulated institution and the person can prove a net worth of £2 million. Applicants do not need to hold a job or prove any proficiency in English.
Entrepreneurs must be able to speak English, possess a business background, create two full-time jobs or have a net worth of £200,000.

About Our Bike & Ride facilities
Until now, renting an assigned bike locker was the best way to protect your bike from both theft and parts removal. Unfortunately, an assigned space is not a very efficient use of resources. Most assigned bike lockers have long waiting lists, but are actually empty most of the time.
Like curbside parking for cars, Bike & Ride parking spaces are shared. Compared to assigned parking systems, a Bike & Ride can serve 5 to 7 times more cyclists each year.
More Bike & Rides are on the way! Facilities are planned for the Goose Hollow and Beaverton Creek MAX stations.

All these slight comparisons to Alice made me think: Chantal needs to go RED!
"It's either s**t or champagne; it's either/or, it's either fantastic or it's not fantastic. You can turn it around any which way you want about having real people and real sizes and shorter and petite and whatever, we just wanna see great, big, gorgeous, tall, thin girls walking down the runway."

I ADORE this girl. Kimberly was a pretty strong pre-show favorite for me. And she's still my favorite. But Chantal is quickly catching up to her in the race for Wiest's Cycle 9 star!
I can also relate to her when it comes to bedroom eyes. People have told me I have the classic example of them. So I really have to be careful when somebody is taking a picture of me because it's not difficult to look extremely intoxicated or sensual, or as if I have a severe lazy eye, depending on the angle.

NHL Rumors suggest the Ottawa Senators have made inquiries to Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson about the availability of power forward Rick Nash; it is also possible that Bryan Murray has already made his pitch.
NHL Rumors have the Ottawa general manager offering last year's sixth overall pick, Mika Zibanejad; former first round pick, Nick Foligno, and back up goaltender Ben Bishop in exchange for the former Rocket Richard Trophy winner.
While a deal of this magnitude would definitely get fans excited, it may weaken the Senators in the long run.
Nash, 28, is just reaching the prime of his career and would look tremendous skating along side Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek on the Ottawa first line, but it would certainly diminish the hard work Murray has done to replenish the club's stock of prospects, and goaltending depth.
One only has to look as far back as this season's champion Los Angeles Kings to see what making whole sale changes can potentially do for a franchise, but the long term ramifications have yet to be seen.
I imagine most Kings fans will tell you that seeing their team finally raise the Stanley Cup made all the past decades pain and suffering worth it, and most Senators fans would gladly pay the same price for glory.
If Murray is ready to take his last big swing in Ottawa Rick Nash is certainly a marquee name worthy of such a move, but it is always possible that Ottawa could end up on the wrong side of the deal especially with a prospect like Zibanejad involved.
One thing about NHL Rumors is they are just that: rumors.
Ottawa is not said to be among the teams on Nash's list of approved teams, so the chatter is moot at this point, but it is also possible that the big winger could be swayed to join the up and coming group.
Stay tuned to Rant Sports for more on the story as it develops.

PPL Enters into Tolling Agreement at 664MW Pennsylvania Plant
Pennsylvania-based utility PPL's subsidiary has entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of rights to the capacity and energy of a 664MW natural gas-fired power plant in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
PPL EnergyPlus, PPL's energy marketing subsidiary, has agreed to acquire a long-term tolling agreement from BE Ironwood, a subsidiary of The Bear Stearns Companies. The combined-cycle plant will continue to be owned and operated by a subsidiary of Virginia-based utility AES.Under the tolling arrangement, PPL EnergyPlus will pay AES Ironwood compensation for generating electricity at the plant with natural gas supplied by PPL EnergyPlus. The tolling arrangement runs through December 2021.
Joe Hopf, president of PPL EnergyPlus, said: "This tolling agreement will provide us with immediate additional capacity in the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland region. While PPL continues to pursue opportunities to acquire or build new assets, we also are opportunistically taking advantage of cost-effective arrangements in which we can increase the megawatts we have at our disposal in the short term."

CHSWC Releases Study on Pay-for-Performance
OAKLAND –- The Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation (CHSWC) has approved the release of a working paper on Pay-for-Performance in California's Workers' Compensation Medical Treatment System. The working paper was prepared by RAND for CHSWC and is part of a larger CHSWC medical study evaluating the impact of reforms.
This paper focuses on the potential for creating financial incentives or "pay-for-performance" mechanisms to encourage and reward the delivery of high-quality, efficient care to California's injured workers. Drawing on the models and lessons learned in group health programs, the paper assesses the options, challenges, and potential benefits of adopting pay-for-performance incentives for physician services in the California's workers' compensation program.
CHSWC is charged with examining the health and safety and workers' compensation systems in California and recommending administrative or legislative modifications to improve their operation. CHSWC was established to conduct a continuing examination of the workers' compensation system and of the state's activities to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases and to examine those programs in other states.
Information about CHSWC and the study on pay for performance is available on the CHSWC web site http://www.dir.ca.gov/CHSWC/allreports.html, by contacting CHSWC by writing to 1515 Clay Street, Room 901, Oakland, 94612; by phone at (510) 622-3959: by fax at (510) 622-3265; or by email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The human brain is nearly three pounds of strange, amazing, and sticky stuff. As a people, we've had brains since, well, forever, and we've attempted to study it for almost as long, and after thousands and thousands of years, we still don't know what it does exactly. We know certain parts have dominion over certain aspects of our personalities, our physical capabilities, and our mental capacities, but so much of it remains a mystery.
One part of that unknown sector is something called fast thinking, a concept usually attached to slow thinking. It's explained fairly well in this YouTube video, but allow me to break it down quickly: fast thinking is instinctual and sometimes irrational. It operates on the assumption that receiving input and dumping output as quickly as possible is the most important thing. It's how you can tell Garfield is orange without focusing on his fur and thinking, "under all that lasagna, I can see that his fur is orange, therefore he is orange."
Slow thinking is the complete opposite of that (duh). Slow thinking operates entirely to get everything right 100% of the time. If you see a complex math problem, your fast thinking tells you that intense cerebral activity will be required to solve this mathematical conundrum, but your slow thinking is what actually helps you figure out the value of X and Y. Consider your favorite video games news outlet. Dozens upon dozens of posts are put out each day with minimal friction between receiving news and it hitting the front page. Features and reviews, however, take time and consideration. That is the difference.
The contrasting qualities of slow and fast thinking (originating from a book called Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman) flared up while I was playing Proteus. Going through that pixelated, Willy Wonka-colored world forces you through a process, one similar to the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief.
No matter how open-minded you approach Proteus, there is a moment in the beginning where you think "well, this is isn't a game." I'd heard many good things about Proteus and approached it knowing that weird little exploration titles like this one are my bread and butter, and I still had that thought. The controls seem perfunctory to the experience; why not just turn this into screensaver and call it what it really is?
As you approach the island from the water, blips and bloops and dinks and thonks slowly rumble up into your aural periphery. It is a discordant affair, each noise generated seemingly at random to only serve the silence in its wake. It feels like someone shoving dry spaghetti into your ears—too fast and too much at once. An annoyance comes over you, a slight indignance.
But that is your fast thinking taking hold. It is the irrational part of your rational being that is speaking out against everything you are experiencing. The quick, reactionary part of your brain says that games have explosions and cars and guns and characters that lack depth and show no personal growth. It is telling you that music have an immediate semblance to resonant harmonies and an overarching melody.
That, however, is not what Proteus is about. Proteus does not fit into the small window of what your fast thinking can parse and comprehend. Proteus was made for your slower, deliberate side. If you manage to stick with the game, a resignation washes over you, not so much in defeat but in acceptance. Bits and pieces from your fast thinking's Hulk-like smashing come back together in a T-1000 fashion. The muddle together at first, but once whole, a new, unforeseen image takes its place.
The abstract blocks that your brain initially dismissed as colored squares of nonsense take shape: trees, frogs, and bees, yes, but also a lively world full of twittering movement and personality. Things you'd previously associated merely as concepts of forms familiar to you take on a life you didn't know existed on that little slab of land. A narrative slowly builds in your mind of a complete and yet impossible-to-know history of the creatures and seasons and landmarks you encounter.
A filter gradually sifts out all the noises you here, too, into aural slots, a sort of innate quantizing that happens regardless of will. Greater than any other ability or attribute, the human brain is best at making sense of nonsense. It will attempt metaphors and analogies, rearranging thoughts and experiences to fit a mold that may intrinsically not make any sense at all, and that's what happens with the beautiful cacophony of Proteus.
It eventually becomes your personal soundtrack. Randomly generated, your movements and choices create new tracks and remixes based on the predetermined interactions of what the island can gin up. Rain drops become hi-hats, pitter-pattering to a spritely tune you'd just discovered. A dark world creeps up as you approach an unknown monolith, darkening the minor key horizon. Cadences and rhythmic harmonies are created out of a jungle of nonsense because you slow thinking can rationalize it, metabolize the nonsense that your fast thinking swallowed and spit out.
The final stage, of course, isn't acceptance. After all that subliminal subterfuge of rational battling the irrational, the slow versus the fast, we arrive somewhere entirely different from where you'd expect. Your instincts tell you one thing: this isn't it. Proteus isn't a game you'd want to—let alone be able to—experience. It is a stack of irregular blocks that look like nothing more than a teetering tower of crumbling physical reactions.
Consideration, however, tells you otherwise. An open mind and a trusted exposure to the mishmash of noise and pixels tunes you to a new frequency of appreciation and understanding. Step back and you see not a falling travesty but the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Bask in the rays and you don't see a dim, nigh grave portrait of a woman but the Mona Lisa. Open yourself to Proteus and you don't get a shaken jar of broken stimuli but a symphony, a story, and a game that teaches you slow thinking is sometimes good thinking.

Today's Wall Street Journal (link and excerpts, after the jump) describes a neuroeconomics study people had to decide between overfeeding some African orphans at the expense of others (i.e., some overfed, some hungry), or taking everyone's food away so everyone is the same (i.e., all hungry).Turns out most people vote for fairness — even if it means taking away everyone's food. Equality in hunger is better than unfairly feeding a few.
My first thought: Free markets are hard wired in humanity's neural circuits.
Humanity is sometimes horrifically unfair: slavery, genocide, discrimination, to start what is probably a long list. Generally inequality self corrects. Abraham Lincoln illustrates one who took action to remedy inequality, in a big way. And look: he's our favorite president.
Over-riding the natural nerve-circuits for fairness requires thinking a thought: why, the "other" is not deserving of fairness.
The "other" people (minorities, religious "others", opposite gender or sexual orientation) aren't equal, they aren't people, and so inequality doesn't count. Abusive individuals, bullies, the corner office Machiavellians, probably tell themselves this kind of thing to justify their own behavior (which, in itself, would probably be hardwired).
But, in the main, genocidal maniacs and corner-office Machiavellians won't succeed because of self-interest in other potential out-groups: it doesn't take a huge cognitive leap to realize "if you can de-humanize my next-door neighbor, you can de-humanize me, next. " That's why these little groups of dictators need to coerce — and terrorize — their own. Beheading videos go a long way toward keeping others in the fold. Random firing or office bullying goes a long way toward making everyone else tow the corporate line.
This is from the Wall Street Journal — (excerpts):
Wall Street Journal Online Edition
Charting the Agony Of a Brain as It Struggles to Be Fair
WSJ Online, October 12, 2007; Page B1
. . . To trigger the brain behavior, the 26 volunteers had to believe their decisions really would affect orphans being denied their seat at a groaning board of plenty where others feasted. So, the experimenters made them all study a 10-page brochure with pictures of 60 orphans [Swivelchair note: The article describes the researchers contacted representatives of an African orphanage, and obtained proper consent as the children were not affected in reality].
In 36 rounds of testing, each subject had 10 seconds to choose the lesser of two evils: Allow some children to keep more than their fair share of meals or take away their food to eliminate inequity.
It was a measure of the economics of morality. Dr. Hsu made the inequities more or less severe by changing the number of meals donated to different groups of children. That provoked patterns of neural activation that revealed the brain's distaste for injustice and its willingness if the disparity was wide enough — in one case, one child receiving five times more than another — to punish the rich by putting them on short rations. To redress the extremes, people were willing to confiscate meals even when it hurt the orphanage as a whole, Dr. Hsu, now at the University of Illinois, reported recently at a meeting of the Society for Neuroeconomics in Nantasket, Mass. . . .

Janice Creenaune ponders the big issue of how couples decide how many children they should have. Do they throw a dice?
I've forgotten how I made the big decisions in my life. Why did we decide to have three children, for instance? I don't remember any deep and meaningful discussion of this big issue. Did it just happen? Like the mail that just turns up?
How do other couples decide how big their family is to be? Do they throw a dice, or try to emulate other families they admire?
These days, the big debate is whether or not to have children at all, but once the decision is made to suffer parenthood, how do you decide how many? If it's of any help, I've made a few observations on various family packages.
The truly huge family of old, anywhere from 12 to 20, is now virtually unknown in Western society. Unviable in terms of money, time and lifestyle.
However, the six-or-more-family is still successfully practised by responsible Catholics and "blended" families (Brady Bunch-style), who join the category by default. These families are often self-contained. There is no need for outsiders as there are enough people in-house to offer decent conversation around the table to entertain all concerned. However, a sense of individual identity may be lost, and that's a lot of children to feed, clothe and educate.
The three-or-four-child-family also has its hazards. Three reputedly causes the "middle child syndrome", and somebody is always left out. They probably all feel left out and all demand the attention usually offered to the single child. This family often has to borrow from another family to even the imbalance, encouraging the sleep-over.
Four children allows opportunities for factions, even gangs, with divisions developing over the years. Filching from other families can also be observed in this group. There is as well the need for a new and bigger van or a monstrous four-wheel-drive if the family ever wishes to journey together.
So, is the two-child-family, the perceived norm of the '60s (one of each), the answer? Here, unfortunately, you find disharmony, with little or no cohesion between the siblings, who simply get on each other's nerves, and where jealousy reigns supreme. These families also poach from other families, but these additions are usually allowed to return home before dinner hits the table at 6pm.
This leaves the one-child family. In the past, the only child was dismissed as lonely, spoiled by parents, asset-, time- and attention-rich. Today, the single child seems to solve the dilemma of career v family. It allows for both without too much compromise in either direction. There is a greater need to poach from other families to provide entertainment, but the poached child from a larger family is often prepared to move in indefinitely.
So what is the ideal and what determines it? Family economics, work demands, quality of life, the presence of a decent gynaecologist/obstetrician/pediatrician, size of car?
Or does it still just happen? Life often regenerates without too much thought. Which is just as well, because otherwise it may not happen at all.

Long County fell to 0-5 with a 39-7 loss to unbeaten Vidalia on Friday night in Ludowici, but first-year coach Ron Flott said he sees reason for the Blue Tide players to keep their heads up.
"I would say I see improvement in all aspects of the team, even if it's not showing up in the win column," Flott said. "You can be doing everything else right, but all it takes is one mistake and it can cost you a touchdown, and right now when that happens, we're not good enough to overcome that."
There were a few bright spots for the Tide, including an interception by Deonte Ellis late in the second quarter. But the Indians returned the favor a few plays later, picking off quarterback Jacob Turner to end the half.
The Blue Tide's only touchdown came when Ellis scored in the second half.
Flott said his defense played well at times, especially in the second and third quarters.
"We are getting set in our right defense the majority of the time now, and when we do that, we do pretty well," he said. "Last Friday, we did that for most of the second and third quarter, and we played pretty good. Another good thing that I am seeing is that our kids are fighting to the very end."
Flott said Long County needs to work on special teams and the offensive line, which allowed the Indians to pressure Turner all night.
The Indians improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Region 2-AA. The Blue Tide, who are off this week, fell to 0-2 in the region.

Thanks for stopping by, and I'm not offended at all. I do hope you'll drop back in and be a little more specific about the shortcomings of the post, so that I can address them. There's a pretty good chance that one or both of us will learn something.
I think most of us have written things that, upon later reflection, bring us to think "what was I thinking?" I'm not having such a moment here, but perhaps you can point out some specific things that would prompt me to re-evaluate.

Carmelo Anthony Trade Rumors: Nuggets and Lakers Begin Trade TalksFebruary 8, 2011
Earlier in the week, it was speculated that Carmelo Anthony was going to be a New York Knick, barring a setback in a three-team trade that would send the disgruntled star to the Eastern Conference.
There have been reports today that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets have began talks that would involve moving Carmelo further west.
When asked if the deal would take place, one of the sources said "The Lakers are definitely an option."
Are the Knicks out of the Carmelo Anthony race?
At this point, nobody knows. These rumors should be viewed as Denver trying to get the best possible outcome out of trading 'Melo.
It was speculated that the Nuggets would have gotten the short end of the deal if they traded Carmelo to the Knicks. Anthony is a free agent at the end of this NBA season, so it was even logical to think that the Nuggets would keep him until his contract actually ran out.
Since the talks have heated up for Carmelo, the Knicks are going to have to put a bigger offer on the table if they are serious about a trade.
The Lakers interest in Carmelo just put the ball back in the Nuggets' court. With just over two weeks left before the trade deadline, this will be a very hot topic until a deal is done or until the deadline passes.
It also helps that Carmelo put up 50 points against the Rockets on February 7th.
Does this move make sense for the Los Angeles Lakers?
As of late, the Lakers haven't been playing up to their standards. Success in basketball hinges on the teamwork with the five guys on the court, and the recent "demise" of the Lakers has been attributed to selfish play.
It would be interesting to see Carmelo and Kobe playing on the same team, no doubt, but it is hard to believe that this move would increase team chemistry.
However, if there is anyone who knows the game of basketball, it is Phil Jackson. If Phil saw this move as necessary, it would be hard to doubt him.
It is also rumored that Andrew Bynum will be the foundation of this trade for the Lakers. Bynum, once seen as a potentially great player, has been slowed by knee injuries. At just 23-years-old, this doesn't foreshadow a very bright future for Bynum. He still has great potential, nonetheless.

Author Marian Keyes has compared her recovery from depression to "coming up from the bottom of the ocean."
The Irish writer of novels including Watermelon, Sushi For Beginners and Rachel's Holiday, has said she faced suicidal urges up to 40 times a day in the depths of mental illness.
She battled the depression for 18 months and tried every possible remedy, including medication, cognitive behaviour therapy, meditation and mass and said nothing worked but the passage of time.
She told Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs: "I had never really experienced anything like it. I stopped being able to sleep and eat, I couldn't have conversations and it accelerated and I ended up going into a psychiatric hospital.
"Suicidal impulses started and it was very hard to physically to stop myself from going through with it, for months and months every day was an enormous effort not to do the acts of wounding myself. That went on for 18 months.
"It's an illness and it ran its course. Three years ago, at the start of 2014, it was like coming up from the bottom of the ocean. It was really speedy. I had always described myself as melancholy or depressive but I hadn't a clue, anything I had before was a blue day by comparison, this was altered perceptions, a mental illness."
Keyes, 53, who has been sober for 23 years, also detailed her recovery from alcoholism in her youth, telling Young: "Alcohol was the love of my life. It was my best friend and in the end, my only friend."
She said starting to write was her "rope across the abyss" as she penned her first short story months before entering a recovery programme.
She said: "I had stopped eating, stopped hoping, I was constantly suicidal. There was only one way it would go. I couldn't stop drinking and was preparing to go under. One afternoon I was at home when I should have been at work and read a short story in a magazine and thought 'you could do that' and got a pen and paper and wrote my first one.
"It was that primal urge in all of us to stay alive, saying 'I can give you this will you live for this? It didn't get me sober but gave me something to hope for."
She has now written 17 books, but said it is frustrating they are dismissed as "popular fiction".
Questioned why that would be, she said: "Because I'm a woman and because, for good or for ill, lots of women enjoy my books and relate to them and in my own little way I feel they are quite empowering and anything that empowers women or makes them feel like 'hello there could I have some equal pay or how about access to the management jobs?', anything that makes us uppity, has to be slapped down.
"So if we like something bu telling us it's rubbish it makes us feel a bit silly for having liked it in the first place."
