Swedes, Canadians hoping extra rest equals successby Adam Kimelman
A year ago, Sweden won its group at the World Junior Championship and used the resulting pass into the semifinal round as the foundation for the nation's first WJC gold medal in 31 years.
Will history repeat itself?
Sweden defeated arch rival Finland, 7-4, on Monday to win out in the preliminary round and earn first place in Group A at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship. Now, it is off until the semifinal round on Thursday, when the Swedes will play the winner of the quarterfinal game on Wednesday between Russia and Switzerland (8 a.m. ET, NHLN-US).
On the other side of the bracket, Canada finished atop Group B after its 4-1 win against Russia on Monday. Canada gets an extra day of rest and will face the winner of the quarterfinal Wednesday between the United States and the Czech Republic.

"It's been a long haul to this point," Canada coach Steve Spott told reporter. "We haven't had a day off, so with a lot of travel and a lot of time zones, we'll enjoy [Tuesday] as a team and then we'll move forward from there."
Canada won't have to move as fast as some other teams.
The puck will drop for the United States and the Czech Republic at 4 a.m. ET (NHL.com, NHLN-US) on Wednesday.
"I'm excited to move forward," American coach Phil Housley told NHL.com. "We'll take next game as it comes."
That next game comes against a squad that aided in the downfall of the Americans at last year's tournament. The Czechs delivered a surprising 5-2 loss to the Americans in preliminary round play, part of a string of results that forced the United States into the relegation round and a s seventh-place finish.
Only three players from that American team return, so that page has been turned. Instead, the focus is on improving what this year's team is doing. That includes an offense that has come in fits and starts -- 17 goals total in wins against Germany and Slovakia, two goals in losses to Russia and Canada.
American forward Vincent Trocheck, who had two goals and an assist in the 9-3 defeat on Monday of Slovakia that clinched the medal-round spot for the United States, said now that his team has advanced, what happened in the preliminary round doesn't matter.
"To go into the medal round … it's a clean slate," he told NHL.com. "I'm not worried about the record in the first few games. It's just a new slate and we're going to start 1-0 hopefully against the Czechs in a couple days."
The Czechs finished second in Group A following their 4-3 overtime win against Switzerland on Monday. They're hoping to build off last year's fifth-place finish, which came after two straight years in the relegation pool. The Czech Republic hasn't won a medal since the 2005 tournament.
However, the Czechs aren't getting too far ahead of themselves.
"I try not to think about how deep [we can go]," Czech defenseman David Musil told IIHF.com. "We just have to focus on the game in the quarterfinals."
The second game Wednesday will see host Russia facing the surprise of the tournament, Switzerland (8 a.m. ET, NHLN-US).
It was expected to be a down year for Switzerland, which was deemed to be lacking an explosive offense presence. Instead, coach Sean Simpson has built a team which finished fourth in scoring in the preliminary round with 16 goals, led by three from Mike Kunzle. The Swiss only won once in the preliminary round, a 7-2 opening-game victory against Latvia, but picked up single points in shootout losses to Sweden and Finland and an overtime loss to the Czech Republic. Those points were the difference between them and Finland for the last medal-round spot in Group A.
"I'm very proud that we could take all three of those teams [Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic] to overtime," Simpson told the IIHF website. "There was a little bit of bad luck. How often does a team play three games in a row, go to overtime three times, and lose three times?"
For Russia, which won the silver medal last year, the loss to Canada was a tough one, but it'll have the obvious home-ice advantage. The Russian games have been the best-attended of the tournament, and the fans were loud all game long Monday. It should be more of the same against Switzerland.
Russia was only sixth in scoring in the preliminary round with 13 goals, but it had the best goaltending, as it tied the United States with just seven goals allowed in four games. However, Russia allowed 164 shots on goal, the second-most in the first round, making the efforts of goalies Andrey Makarov and Andrey Vasilevskiy that much more impressive.

"I'm so unfamiliar with the gym, I call it James!" –Ellen DeGeneres.
Maybe the gym isn't your thing. That's okay. Fitness is not one size fits all, and this year's trends are all about customizing exercise to work for you and your budget. Whether you work out in your living room or the local gym, you can get fit on a dime in 2013.
Body-Weight Training: The latest fitness craze is absolutely free. It requires no gym or pricey equipment. Instead, this form of strength training uses your body weight as resistance. We're talking the basics like push-ups and squats, and using everyday objects to create your own suspension systems like a kitchen chair, doorframe or stairway. If you are a gym rat, you will notice more classes based on these principles.
Virtual Experience: Travel the world for the price of your monthly membership. Now you can hike the Grand Canyon or run the Vegas strip on treadmills, ellipticals, cycles and steppers. Matrix Virtual Active technology utilizes video, ambient noises, and simulates the feel of terrain changes by adjusting incline or resistance. Try this trend on the cheap by downloading virtual workouts ($7.95) to your tablet computer and bringing it along to the gym.
Cardio Anything: Elevate any activity with a dose of cardio. Cardio Tennis utilizes group drills and interval-like training to burn more calories than your typical tennis game. We also like Piloxing, which transforms Pilates into a cardio workout by incorporating boxing and dance. Trampoline parks are turning play into cardio for the whole family with dodgeball games, basketball hoops and fitness classes.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): If time is money, then you'll save with this trend, which cuts exercise time significantly (making it possible to squeeze a full workout in on your lunch break). HIIT alternates periods of intense exercise with rest like sprinting and walking, but can be more beneficial than a steady hour spent on the treadmill by accelerating weight loss and post-workout metabolism, meaning you burn more calories after your workout.
Self-Monitoring: Earlier this week we told you about the latest fitness apps, which segues to our next trend, self-monitoring. Pedometers have gotten a facelift recently and devices like the FitBit One and Jawbone UP not only track how many steps you take, but how well you sleep at night and other wellness stats. It sends the data to your computer and smartphone where you can see graphs and track progress towards your goals. The FitBit has a companion scale which tracks weight, body fat and BMI over time with graphs and online tools.
Final Word: When the budget's tight, the costly personal trainer is the first to go—a trend that has led more trainers to offer small group sessions, which cuts costs significantly. Just make sure there are no more than four people in your group so you still get the personalized attention that makes these sessions worthwhile.

Exclusive Q&A: Golf Reacts to Inclusion in Olympics
Q: Thanks for taking the time.
GOLF: No problem.
Q: So, what was your reaction to today's news?
GOLF: I was pleased. It's gratifying. I haven't been in the Olympics in a long, long time. It will be good to be back.
Q: Player reaction was strong. Jack Nicklaus said, "The impact is going to be felt all over the world."
GOLF: Who?
Q: Jack Nicklaus.
GOLF: Oh, Jack. Good for him. Yeah, we'll see.
Q: Is this validation for you?
GOLF: Validation?
Q: That you're a sport, that kind of thing.
GOLF: I don't need a bunch of old men on a committee to say I'm a sport. I'm comfortable with myself. I'm honored they've decided to include me. Really I am. But I don't get caught up with labels—Am I a sport?—and all that nonsense. I just ignore it, to be honest with you.
Q: Let's switch gears. What do you think of the Presidents Cup?
GOLF: I haven't watched any of it.
Q: But you'll be watching this weekend?
GOLF: No.
Q: That's a little surprising.
GOLF: I'm not too interested in myself after football starts.
Q: Really?
GOLF: Yeah. Big SEC fan. LSU Tigers, just like David Toms.
Q: You're missing some good matches.
GOLF: I hope the fans are enjoying them. Personally, I get tired of watching myself on TV. It's kind of boring. Oh, I might switch over during commercials to see how Tiger is doing.
Q: Enjoy the off season.
GOLF: I always do.

It's a game! It's a sport! It's an Olympic game...er sport er...
Who caaaaaaaaaaaaares! ;).
How about a gort? Or spame?
Why would anyone want to watch golf as an Olympic sport? It will be the same people we see playing during most weeks for the better part of every year. If they restrict it to amateurs, it might mean something. Otherwise, it's just another "Cup" of some sort. Great post, by the way.
- Golf Club Reviews said...
I agree with Lance above.
Being an avid golfer myself I of course think it's great that golf is again included. However, it's going to be the same professional golfers playing at the Olympics who already play against each other almost every weekend. In addition we already have a number of international events for the pros, i.e. the Ryder Cup, the Presidents Cup etc. I would have much preferred to see top talent golf amateurs from all over the world competing against each other. In the distant past the Olympic Games were only for amateurs, but nowadays it's just another media events with the same professionals that get paid huge fees for their appearance alone.

Season 4 renewed but Glen Mazzara leaving.
I'll preface this by admitting my dislike/indifference to the show (enjoyed the first season, made it 2 episodes into the 2nd season before I gave up), but three showrunners in four seasons is not a good trend, especially when the show is based on existing material and the first two showrunners are fired/let go due to creative differences with the studio.
the wicked child wrote:The breaking up the season thing is really irritating me. You start getting into it and then bam, hiatus.
Not as bad as early Lost where you would get 2 episodes, break, rinse and repeat... But still annoying.
I'd like to see better consistency with blending action and character building. Last season had 2 very different halves that both went probably too far in either direction... This time it seems like most of the issues resolve within an episode or so. Not that I want a repeat of the Sophia debacle which went on about 3 episodes too long, but there should be some kind of ongoing story... Perhaps the town v. Prison will provide it.

I like the show too. I just feel like it could be much better. I think the bad acting is a byproduct of the writing. It's hard to give a great performance when you're given nothing with which to work.

Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it — but are Chang Hui-mei (張惠妹, aka A-mei, 阿妹) and Wang Lee-hom (王力宏) doing it? The Apple Daily drew attention earlier this week for speculating on a "renewed" romance between the two.
Chang and Wang, rumored to be an item years ago, were spotted greeting each other with a warm embrace at the wedding of pop singer Christine Fan (范瑋琪) and TV personality Charles "Blackie" Chen (陳建州).
Both are currently single — Wang has managed to stay off the media radar over the past few years when it comes to dating, and A-mei recently broke up with basketball star Sam Ho (何守正).
Seeing Wang and A-mei together in public led the Apple to reminisce about their past. Back in 2004, A-mei and Wang were photographed holding hands at the Channel V Music Awards ceremony in Hong Kong and around that time they had shared the stage together at various shows. Wang reportedly co-wrote a duet with A-mei that never saw the light of day because it didn't pass muster with their record companies. After their "breakup," things have reportedly been "awkward" between the two on the occasions they've been seen in public together.
But that hug last weekend may have rekindled the fire, the report said. After the wedding, there was an online exchange between the two Mando-pop stars on Weibo (微博, the Chinese-speaking world's version of Twitter).
Wang, who celebrated his 35th birthday on Tuesday, posted on his Weibo account: "I'm curious. How many [of my friends] will be wishing me a happy birthday?"
According to Apple, A-mei replied within a half hour: "My dear ... happy birthday! Sisters, let's sing it!" And sing it they did, as A-mei reportedly rounded up Fan and Chen, the newlyweds, and a few other friends to serenade Wang on the phone.
But before anyone gets too excited over the prospect of a romance among Mando-pop royalty, let's listen to the pop star's voice of reason: the agent. A-mei's manager, Edward Chan (陳鎮川), poured cold water on the notion of romantic feelings between the two.
A-mei calls everyone "dear" (親愛的), he said. "They've always been good friends and every year they wish each other a happy birthday. If there was anything happening, they certainly wouldn't be posting it on Weibo!"
Speaking of past flames, it appears Cecilia Cheung (張柏芝) has made her peace with fellow Hong Kong actor and Canto-pop singer Edison Chen (陳冠希).
Pop Stop readers will recall the infamous scandal of 2008 when photos showing Chen and Cheung in flagrante delicto circulated widely on the Internet.
Chen and Cheung, who were also in Taiwan for Fan and Chen's wedding, were spotted sitting next to each other on a flight back to Hong Kong.
The Apple Daily reported that the two ran into each other on the flight, and that Cheung asked to change her seat so they could sit together.
Their conversation was jovial and the two were snapping photos together with their mobile phones, the Apple reported, citing accounts from nearby passengers.
The paper noted that this appears to be a big turn-around for Cheung. In an interview in 2009, she lashed out at Chen, calling his public apology "phony" and saying he never apologized to her directly for the scandal.
Chen's manager confirmed last weekend's happenstance reunion, with the China Times quoting him as saying, "[Edison Chen] knew that there would be a day that they'd run into each other again, and so he naturally said hello and chatted."

The popular butter cow sculpture will be unveiled at the Dairy Building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
The Illinois agriculture director and State Fair manager will attend the ceremony Thursday afternoon. The ceremony will be streamed online.
The 500-pound bovine is made of unsalted butter. Built from scratch each year, the cow has been an unofficial mascot of the fair since the 1920s.
Fair organizers have said they're not changing security procedures after vandals threw paint on a butter cow at the state fair in Iowa last year. A refrigerated case holding the Illinois sculpture is always locked.
The cow is a project of the Midwest Dairy Association and is paid for by its local farmer members.
This year's fair is Aug. 7-17.

Ladies, if you can't swing a romantic trip to Paris with your man, I highly recommend the Arc de Triomph position. Sure, it's not a historic site, you won't be able to see the Eiffel Tower from there, and you probably shouldn't take pictures. But you're likely to have an orgasm. And speaking from experience, that doesn't usually happen at the real Arc de Triomph in Paris.
We started in regular girl-on-top then I leaned back and D. sat up. We had a moment of "Who should be doing the thrusting?" in which we were both pretty motionless for a few seconds. Then D. wrapped his hands around my back and pulled me towards him. I held onto his ankles and used the leverage to push myself against him. I would have felt silly if not for the fact that D.'s eyes did not leave my breasts even for a second. And I can't blame him — there's nothing like laying down and putting your arms above your head to make your set look perky and hot.
I could tell D. was getting really close to finishing so I decided he needed a little less visual stimulation and we left Paris. I pushed him back so his body was almost parallel to the bed. We grabbed hands and sort of rocked back and forth like a see-saw. D. got close to coming again so he put a hand between my legs and I climaxed thanks to the manual stimulation. He finished a few moments later. And then we awkwardly untangled ourselves. I've learned that most sex positions D. and I manage to get into already exist in the Kama Sutra so I looked through the book and sure enough: it's called Torrid Tug-of-War. In Cosmo's version the guy's legs are crossed, but I think most guys would feel more comfortable with their legs outstretched.
What do you do when your guy is about to finish and you're not ready? How do you delay him? Do you ever try to hold off on climaxing so you can have a simultaneous orgasm?

The observations continue to show a band of 60-65 kt winds to the southwest and west of the center. Matthew is moving east- northeastward at about 13 kt, and an east-northeastward motion within the mid-latitude westerlies should continue through tonight. Matthew is forecast by the global models to weaken and be absorbed within a frontal boundary on Monday, and the NHC forecast follows suit. It should be noted that a strong baroclinic low is expected to develop along the same frontal boundary near Nova Scotia on Monday. Winds over the Outer Banks of North Carolina have gradually diminished this afternoon, and the tropical storm warning has been discontinued. Dangerously high water levels over portions of the Outer Banks will gradually subside overnight and early Monday. Based on these trends, this will be the last NHC advisory on Matthew.

EU's Advocate-General Says Dutch Allowing Unauthorized Downloads Is Incompatible With European Copyright Law
from the that's-awkward dept
Back in 2012, Ben Zevenbergen wrote a long piece exploring a complicated Dutch case that had been referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union, the EU's highest court. It concerned the home-copying exception of European copyright legislation, and hinged on the question of whether the Dutch collecting society could charge for the "losses" that result from people downloading both authorized and unauthorized uploads. That distinction needs to be made, since in the Netherlands downloading copyright material is permitted, but uploading it is not. Manufacturers of blank media claimed that they should only have to pay a lower copyright levy that covered just the downloads of legally-uploaded materials.
As is usual in cases sent to the Court of Justice, the EU's Advocate-General (AG) gives an opinion first. Although not binding, that opinion is usually indicative, and rarely ignored. Here's what the Advocate General P. Cruz Villalón has said in this case, as reported by the Future of Copyright site:
The AG notes that the reasoning of the Dutch government has its origin in the fact that the Dutch law tolerates that unauthorized work or material is downloaded from illegal sources and only uploads can be curbed. "Thus the Kingdom of the Netherlands supports indirectly but inevitably, the mass distribution of products resulting from an illegal exploitation of protected works and materials", which, according to Villalon, cannot be regarded as normal. "The trivialization of downloading content that circulates online without proper authorization […] undermines the normal exploitation". This practice is not compatible with the basic idea of EU copyright law, in which it is established that copyright holders are entitled to fair compensation, said Villalón. Furthermore, the AG is of the opinion that current levy rates on empty media carriers are too low to generate a fair compensation.
On that basis, he advised the court to hold that copyright levies should not be allowed on unauthorized downloads. That's a win for the blank media manufacturers, but the Advocate-General's comments about the Dutch approach to filesharing being incompatible with EU copyright law will be problematic for the Netherlands if the Court of Justice agrees.

2010 Total Fab Spending Growth Could Reach 61%; Abrupt Reduction in Installed Capacity through 2010
By Christian Gregor Dieseldorff, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics, San Jose, California, July 02, 2009
Updated information from the World Fab Forecast shows the growth rate for total fab spending could be about 61% in 2010 (down from 90% previously report in mid-May) from a very low 2009 (Table 1). 2009 spending will reach such low levels that any adjustment or change in 2010 capital spending plans can drastically alter forecasted growth rates.
Table 1:
|In Million US $
|Construction Projects
% Change
|Equipping Facilities*
|% Change
|Total Fab Spending
|% Change
* Equipping Fabs: Any equipment related expenses for Front End Facilities including using new or used equipment.
In 2009, all regions will experience severe cuts in spending. However, the cuts are much less for the Americas and Europe/Mideast because of a boost from Intel and Globalfoundries.
Since the last publication in mid-May, over 60 companies have been evaluated worldwide by directly consulting, visiting (in Japan), and reassessing projects, so updates to 130 facilities have been made. This resulted in downward reductions in 2010 spending, in almost all regions, up to $3.5 billion as some projects have been pushed out further or investment plans continue to slow.
Table 2 lists the largest spenders with $1 billion and higher in total spending (both construction and equipping) for Front End fabs.
Table 2:
|Toshiba/Sandisk Alliance
|Toshiba/Sandisk Alliance
|Elpida/Powerchip JV
|Toshiba/Sandisk Alliance
|Micron/Intel JV
Spending for Equipping Memory Facilities
Spending for equipping Memory facilities (Flash and DRAM) represents the largest share in 2010 with about 47%, up from about 40% in 2009 (2008 share was about 60%) (see Figure 1). The share of foundries is expected to be about 23% and MPU at about 17%. Logic is expected to double its spending in 2010, increasing its share from about 8% in 2009 to 10% in 2010.
Figure 1
The foundry business has significantly improved off of the 1Q 2009 lows. For example, TSMC has reported increased revenue in 2Q09 and boosted 2009 capex. This trend changes the decline in 2009 foundry spending to about -10% where all other product segments experience deeper double-digit negative growth rates.
Will There Be Enough Capacity in the Future?
Total installed capacity worldwide could decline by about 2.5% in 2009 mainly due to fab closures. In 2010, the installed capacity is expected to see a growth of about 4.5% above 2009; however, if we compare 2010 with 2008, the result is only a 2% increase in capacity.
Figure 2 illustrates the change in plans for installed capacity from mid 2008 to current (mid 2009) projections.
Figure 2
Based on promising demand forecasts and drives to obtain market share, capacity investment plans were much more aggressive one year ago, with installed capacity projected to approach 19 million wafers per month (wpm) by the end of 2010. Of course, this has changed since then with many projects pushed out, put on hold or even cancelled. Today, the World Fab Forecast projects only about 16 million wpm capacity by end of 2010, a reduction of 3 million wpm from projections one year ago.
This is quite an abrupt reduction in capacity brought on by the global economic crisis. Some analysts have raised concerns about not having enough capacity in the future. If demand starts to accelerate, in line with an economic recovery, capacity will simply not be able to keep pace given the currently projected low-levels in capital spending. If there will be enough capacity or not remains to be seen.
The World Fab Forecast keeps close track of any planned projects resulting in any change of installed capacity.
SEMI World Fab Forecast report provides high-level summaries and graphs; in-depth analyses of capital expenditure, capacity, technology and products, down to the detail of each fab; and forecasts for the next 18 months by quarter. These tools are invaluable for understanding how 2009 and 2010 will look, and learning more about capex for construction projects, fab equipping, technology level, and products.
The difference between the SEMI Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Market Subscription (WWSEMS) data and the World Fab Forecast and its related Fab Database reports is that the fab database reports track any equipment needed to ramp the fab, upgrade, expand or change its wafer size regardless if it is new equipment, used equipment, or transferred equipment, while WWSEMS tracks only new equipment.

Pingree said it was a difficult decision and that she's grateful for the support she's received from across Maine and the country. In the end, she concluded that she can best serve the people of Maine by running for re-election in the U.S. House, she said in a statement.
"Although the prospect of running for and possibly serving in the United States Senate was very exciting, I believe I will best serve the people of Maine by running for re-election to the House," she said. "There is much at stake in this election, and in the end I had to put the best interests of the state and the country ahead of my own."
Snowe, a moderate Republican, announced last week that she wouldn't seek a fourth term, citing frustrations over partisan politics and gridlock in the Senate.
Her decision set off a scramble by potential candidates since Republicans and Democrats have only until March 15 to submit 2,000 signatures to get on the June primary ballot.
If Pingree had run for Senate, she would've faced her longtime friend, popular former Gov. Angus King, who announced he's running as an independent, in addition to a Republican challenger. Another Democrat, former two-term Gov. John Baldacci, is weighing whether to run. Four other Democrats are already in the race, but some said they'd consider stepping aside if Pingree chose to run.
On the GOP side, previously announced candidate Scott D'Amboise now faces up to four GOP competitors, including former state Sen. Rick Bennett. They could be joined by Secretary of State Charles Summers, Attorney General William Schneider and state Treasurer Bruce Poliquin.

Riverhead OKs step toward EPCAL authority
At a hastily called special meeting in Riverhead Friday, the town board voted 5-0 for a home rule resolution officials say is the key to developing the town-owned Enterprise Park at Calverton.
The resolution supports proposed state legislation that would make the town -- not the state -- the lead agency in any future environmental review of property at the sprawling EPCAL site. That would allow town officials to issue within 90 days a permit to someone who wants to buy property there.
That result cannot be achieved before a yearlong environmental review of the property is completed by the state -- a review that cannot begin until the state legislature approves it. And that action requires the home rule message.
With the legislative calendar set to close June 20, it became critical for the town board to approve the home rule message swiftly, Supervisor Sean Walter said.
"This will finally give us the authority we need, but the environmental study couldn't start until we voted," he said.
About 1,275 acres of the 3,000-acre EPCAL site have been set aside for future development. After years of fighting between environmentalists and developers since the property was declared surplus by the U.S. Navy in 1996, consensus has emerged on where new construction should go.
"In February, some business and environmental people got together to produce a map of what lands need to be protected and what lands can harmlessly be developed, to avoid future disputes. Miraculously, everybody found the map acceptable," said Richard Amper, executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society.
Amper also supports the pending state legislation, in part because of changes made to it after earlier protests.
"The bill has been scaled back to eliminate any local commission with super-authority over EPCAL development. What's left is a way to expedite development in appropriate areas consistent with procedures required under state environmental law. All of that is fine by everybody," he said.

Obama: No 'winning' in shutdown
With the government shutdown in its fourth day, President Obama walked to lunch on Friday — and disavowed a comment from an anonymous staff member who claimed the administration is "winning" the political battle over the government shutdown.
"There is no winning" when people are not at work and being paid, Obama told reporters while getting some take-out in the Taylor Gourmet shop near the White House.
SHUTDOWN: Obama backs plan for furlough backpay
BOEHNER: 'This isn't a damn game'
"Nobody's winning," Obama said of the shutdown. "We should get this over with as soon as possible."
The president was responding to a quote in The Wall Street Journal from an unnamed "senior administration official" who said: "We are winning ... It doesn't really matter to us' how long the shutdown lasts 'because what matters is the end result.'"
Obama also responded to criticism from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, saying, again the shutdown would end if the speaker allows a vote on a new spending plan that includes no health care restrictions.
"The shutdown could be over today," Obama said. "We know there are the votes."
The Republican-run House has passed spending bills that include a one-year delay of part of the new health care bill, a provision Obama says is unacceptable.
"I'm happy to have negotiations," Obama said the sandwich shop, "but we can't do it with a gun held to the head of the American people."
During a news conference Friday, Boehner criticized Obama's no-negotiation stance: "You know, when we have a crisis like we're in the middle of this week, the American people expect their leaders to sit down and try to resolve their differences."
The presidential lunch party, including Vice President Biden, Secret Service agents, and a press pool, dined near the White House at Taylor Gourmet, which, like many local eateries, is offering a discount for furloughed federal workers.
As he left the White House, Obama told reporters: "I'm going to get something to eat ... I decided to take a walk."
Taylor Gourmet advertises "a 10% discount, career counseling, and a cookie" for furloughed workers — though Obama and Biden wouldn't be eligible because they are still on the job.
Some officials did get cookies, however, including Obama and Biden, who wore his trademark aviator sunglasses during the walk over.
Obama got his cookie after the vice president declined to share: "It's one package, man. I'm not giving you my cookie."
Biden offered to pay for the meal, but Obama said he'd pick up the tab.
"OK," Biden said.
The discount is an indication of how ordinary Americans are looking out for one another," Obama said.
While placing his sandwich order, Obama said: "I'll get wheat bread -- I can tell Michelle I'm eating healthy."
Obama closed him impromptu news conference by saying: "Now, I'm going to order."
Obama received some cheers and shout-outs during his walk, including "hang tough Mr President," and "you're doing the right thing."
Obama also ate at Taylor Gourmet in 2012 — and the place has always been frequented by Boehner.
"Common ground," tweeted Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck. "John Boehner really likes Taylor Gourmet."

Jeep CJ-3A - Vintage VaultPosted in Features on June 24, 2014
Last time in Vintage Vault land we showed you pictures of a Military Flattie with a Ford small-block V-8 swapped between the 'rails. Well, Source Interlink Media's vast archives don't discriminate much and so while we were thumbing through we came across this much more street-based flattie that also carries a little surprise between its front tires. These images, shot in 1967 by Eric Rickman for Hot Rod, were in a folder labeled "Barnow Willys Jeep with Corvette Fuelie Engine." The Jeep's builder seems to have been Chuck Barnow, known from his time spent with Fiasco Automotive and later for swapping Chevy engines into Rolls-Royces. Our source (Bill Holland also of Fiasco Automotive fame) tells us that Barnow also worked at Schonlaw Chevrolet in Hollywood. It seems that the Jeep was owned by Ted Schonlaw (we've heard he still owns it!) and built at the dealership by Barnow. Whatever the story it's a clean Jeep and we wanted to show it to you in these previously unpublished images.
Posing for the Camera
Here in another photo by Rickman we can see enough clues to get a pretty good idea that this Jeep is a CJ-3A. The windshield is definitely from a '3A and the Willys-stamped hood is also civilian. You can also see the tailgate, chromed factory steps, exhaust, and check out those early Warn Locking Hubs on the front axle. The rear axle looks to have two-piece shafts – we wonder how long they lasted with all that Vette power. Behind the wheel is Chuck Barnow himself.
It's Mechanical
Here is a clear shot of the fuelie showing how it tucked fairly cleanly into the Jeep CJ-3A's engine compartment with a little trimming of the rain gutter at the front of the tub to clear the mechanical Rochester fuel injection. Like with the Ford small-block swap from last time, we see a Corvette radiator and purge tank. How about that big ol' alternator? We are guessing the firewall had to be notched for the Chevy distributor cap. That would make any distributor-based timing work fun, fun, fun.
In this image by Rickman we can see a bit more of how the engine is tucked between the Jeep CJ-3A fenders. Also, check out the ribs on those 11.00x15 Armstrong farm implement tires that were very popular for sand use back in the day. Apparently most would groove these tires across the tread. Between that, the large size, and multi-ply construction, these were some of the first custom off-road tires according to our pal Earl Colton from Statewide 4-Wheel Drive Supply in Phoenix, AZ. Dig it!
In this image we can see that most of the steering and front suspension of the Jeep CJ-3A remains stock. Ross cam-and-lever steering? Check. Stock shocks and springs? Yep. Also, check out that chrome bumper. Sharp eyes will notice the backs of some big brakes filling the 15-inch wheels. Nice upgrade. How about that early steering stabilizer? It looks like the unboxed frame horns have something bolted into them – maybe some sort of winch mounting plate mounts?
Plush Interior
Here we can see a bit more of the interior of the Jeep CJ-3A. Check out the extra gauges added in a near factory manner. We're betting the big one is a tach. Also, check out those buckets and steering column. Corvette flags on the horn button indicate that the wheel and column are also borrowed from a Vette. What about the seats? We'd bet they are Corvette also. Also see the lever for an Overdrive. Must have been an early one! Lastly, who needs floor mats when you have diamond-plate floor cladding?
That is one large battery from Delco. Aluminum diamond plate was used to make a battery box with a small toolbox beside it in the back of the flattie. We spy a fire extinguisher in there. Maybe having the extinguisher a bit closer to the driver would have been advisable with that monster engine.
Interior Part II
In this slightly different view of the Jeep CJ-3A interior we can see more of the chrome goodies, a clean toolbox, and a gas tank. Also, check out the interesting seat mount. Two lengths of tubing span the width of the tub supporting the seats and sliders. It looks like both tubes mount to the wall of the tub with added strength coming from a center support.

'It was a result, which I for one was not expecting to see' - Martin Laciga
Lausanne, Switzerland, June 4, 2013 - As the curtains are drawn on the World Cup Final in Campinas (Brazil) former Swiss beach volleyball player, Martin Laciga takes a look back at some of the action and tells FIVB.org what he expects from the next Grand Slam to be held at The Hague from June 11 to 16.
"It has been a bumpy start to the year for Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego with Alison's finger injury keeping them away from the Grand Slam competitions in Shanghai and Corrientes. And after a month away from the sand, it was clear that they had difficulty finding their rhythm during pool play at the World Cup Final in Campinas. But they held it together enough to get through to the gold match and then win it. It was a result, which I for one was not expecting to see.
"The World Cup Final also provided excellent experience for Switzerland's Sebastian Chevallier and Philip Gabathuler, who were drawn into a tough pool. They played high quality beach volleyball and posed a real challenge to other competitors, even managing to beat Alison and Emanuel on day three of the competition. It was bad luck that they were not able to qualify for the semifinals, but they came close to it and it was good to see that they are developing their individual strengths especially as this was the first time they played together.
"I am now looking forward to see what The Hague Grand Slam will bring and although my favourites going into the tournament are Americans Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson it looks like there are a few teams who could give them a good run for their money.
"The Latvian teams are getting stronger every week and gaining more experience with each and every competition.
"And as I have seen
many times in the past, the Dutch teams always play a good game when on home
soil and surrounded by the local crowd. Dutch volleyball legends Richard Schuil
and Reinder Nummerdor have not played many events this year, so I am looking
forward to see what they can achieve at The Hague Grand Slam. Their younger
teammates, Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen have shown much potential and seemed
poised to make their mark on the tournament as well.
"If there is anything to be learnt from the tournaments over the past few months is that the quality of volleyball on offer is on the rise, which is making it difficult to say with any certainty who will be standing on the podium at the various events this year.
"All I can say is we are not done yet with the surprises on this year's beach volleyball World Tour!"
Martin Laciga is a recently retired beach volleyball player from Switzerland. Partnering with his older sibling Paul, the Laciga brother won the silver medal in the men's beach team competition at the 1999 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Marseille, France. He has represented Switzerland at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Athens where he placed fifth and Beijing where he finished ninth. He has also competed in seven FIVB World Championships (1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011) and has won six international gold medals.

Qwest hangs up on customer
Qwest's PR machine was in full tilt, Friday, as I wrote my Sunday column about a glitch at the phone company's annual meeting.
(Click here to see column. I also talked about Qwest's annual shareholders' meeting with 9News Anchor Shawn Patrick on Sunday. Click here for a replay.)
CEO Ed Mueller invited Qwest customer and former employee Joe Halpern to come up to the stage and meet with Paula Kruger, executive vice president of the mass markets group.
Halpern claims that by the time he got to the stage to meet with Kruger about his billing problems, Kruger was gone.
I decided to write about this little mishap because it succinctly illustrated the usual gap between what is promised and delivered at Qwest.
But when I asked Qwest spokesmen about Halpern's claims, they insisted Kruger was there all along, and that Halpern didn't find her.
They also told me Kruger was among the last people in the room, a claim I found incredible since I was among the last people in the room and didn't see her either.
There is always that chance that I simply missed her, along with other observers in the room that I interviewed. So to be fair, I had to give the Qwest PR guys the benefit of the doubt in my column.
After the column ran, someone named Kevin, who identified himself as a Qwest employee, left an interesting post under my column online.
He claimed that he saw Kruger leave immediately after the meeting adjourned. He also left the same message on my voicemail.
"The second that that meeting was adjourned … Paula Kruger got up and headed for the door," Kevin said. "I was standing right there when she left."
(Click here to hear Kevin's voice message.)
I don't know Kevin. Maybe he's just one of the thousands of people with an ax to grind at Qwest. Or maybe he just wants the truth told more clearly.
There is still room for doubt about when Kruger left the room. But thing is clear: After all this banter, Kruger has still not contacted Halpern.
Instead, some lower level people called him. And they did this only after I made my inquiry at 8:15 on Friday morning.
Bottom line: Qwest's CEO promised Halpern he could speak with an executive vice president named Paula Kruger. He did this before hundreds of his shareholders. And Kruger swiftly reneged on the promise.
Knowing what I was going to write, why couldn't someone at Qwest simply have had Kruger call Halpern?
She could have apologized, said it was just a mistake, and taken his problems to heart.
That would have put a happy ending on the story. But somehow happy endings seem to elude Qwest.
Spirit of Service? How about the Ghost of Service?

We don't know who is behind the sudden trend of laugh-out-loud Kmart ads, but we say keep 'em coming!
Just last month we gave you the famed 'Ship Your Pants' Kmart commercial that created both headlines and guffaws around the country. Now the discount chain is back with a hysterical ad about the gas savings offered by Kmart. The commercial promises "big gas savings," which as you might guess, sounds a little like something else…
The commercial is another win for Kmart. We can't guarantee we'll shop there, but we definitely won't use the DVR to fast forward through their commercials anymore.

★★★★ out of four stars
Theater: Edina.
In place of etchings, Professor David Kepesh (Ben Kingsley), an aging lothario, brings nubile female students home to see a letter from Kafka, mounted on a wall. He has been practicing serial tomcatting for decades and knows that flattering a woman's intellect goes far.
Consuela Castillo (Penélope Cruz) is his latest acquisition. He wins her over by comparing her eyes to a Goya painting.
At this point you might be wondering: Do we really need another movie about a May-December romance? In the case of "Elegy," the answer is absolutely. It's in the same league as "The Lovers" and "Last Tango in Paris" in conveying passion that approximates the real deal. The first time David and Consuela touch, pushed together by a partygoer at his New York loft, you can practically feel the voltage. The joy they take in lovemaking is captured in the actors' expressive faces.
"Elegy" turns out to have quite a pedigree. It's based on the novella "The Dying Animal," by Philip Roth, who wrote the book on male sexual angst. To hear Roth's words adapted by screenwriter Nicholas Meyer ("Time After Time") and spoken by Kingsley is a treat.
Spanish director Isabel Coixet ("My Life Without Me") displays a reverence for the material. You can imagine her whispering on the set. She brings out the absolute best in her top-notch cast.
"Elegy" refuses to conform to expectations about how this kind of movie should play out. The screenwriter, or maybe it was Roth, resists the temptation to tie everything up neatly. You leave the couple reluctantly, like old friends you hope to hear from soon.
the rocker
★ 1/2 out of four stars
Rated: PG-13 for drug and sexual references, nudity and language.
Fortysomething wannabe rock star worms his way into his teenage nephew's band. How many times do you think Will Ferrell and Jack Black have turned down that pitch? I'm guessing approximately eleventy billion.
Rainn Wilson (of TV's "The Office") can't afford to be so choosy. Playing a paunchy workaday drone chasing one last shot at rock 'n' roll glory is the kind of dues you gotta pay when you're working your way up from cameo player to feature film star.
Wilson plays "Fish" Fishman, a has-been drummer from Vesuvius, an '80s rock band that dumped him the very day it hit the big time. Fish has been nursing his grudge for two decades, and when a co-worker raves about the group and plays a track from their latest smash album, he runs amok. Dominoes fall as he gets fired, loses his girlfriend and moves in with his sister's family in Cleveland.
Wouldn't you know that his loser nephew's high school band lost its drummer right before the prom? Who could possibly fill in on such short notice? Through an inexcusably dumb chain of events, the band becomes a YouTube sensation and goes on tour. Christina Applegate, playing the guitarist's hot momma, tags along as the youngsters' chaperone and Wilson's unlikely love interest.
"The Rocker's" screenplay (by the husband-and-wife team of Maya Forbes of "The Larry Sanders Show" and former "Simpsons" writer Wally Wolodarsky) holds some interest as a storehouse of used comedy ideas. But mostly, this film is just another hairball clog in the seasonal glut of dumb comedies.
★ 1/2 out of four stars
Rated: R for strong violence and language.
"Death Race" is not smart or graceful or inventive, but it delivers what it promises, a kinetic outpouring of energy, blood and destruction. Photographed almost exclusively in hues of battleship gray and fireball orange, the film is set in near-future postapocalyptic America. This time the catastrophe was economic, and the corporations that operate all the nation's penitentiaries have developed a lucrative sideline in gladiatorial auto races. Driving muscle cars pimped out with hood-mounted machine guns and napalm nozzles in place of turn signals, prisoners blast each other on pay-per-view, competing for the chance to win their release papers.
Granite-browed Jason Statham and glowering Tyrese Gibson play rival drivers; Joan Allen is the Machiavellian warden, and Ian McShane plays Statham's wily mechanic and mentor. The real stars, however, are the armor-plated race cars that ram into each other almost continuously. Director Paul W.S. Anderson tosses in some grisly, well-timed jokes, but the film's overall mood is grim urgency. In the brief periods between laps around the booby-trapped track, the inmates take turns pounding one another with huge wrenches and lengths of chain. While I admired the film's craftsmanlike sheen, I felt similarly worked over.
★★ 1/2 out of four stars
Rated: PG-13 for a sex-related commentary.
Theater: Lagoon.
Blacklisted screenwriter Ring Lardner Jr. said it all in his eulogy for fellow Hollywood exile Dalton Trumbo: "At rare intervals there appears among us a person ... who so subordinates his own ego drive to the concerns of others, who lives his whole life in such harmony with the surrounding community that he is revered and loved by everyone with whom he comes in contact. Such a man Dalton Trumbo was not."
A confrontational, curmudgeonly communist, and a prolific and respected scenarist, Trumbo was exiled from Hollywood after refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee. In 1947, he was cited for contempt of Congress and jailed for 10 months. For more than a decade he wrote using pseudonyms; his script for "The Brave One," under the name Robert Rich, earned a 1957 Academy Award, which went unclaimed. That embarrassment helped weaken the blacklist and Trumbo came roaring back with full credit for the 1960 blockbusters "Spartacus" and "Exodus."
This biography is celebratory to a fault. There is scant context about the history and political climate that led to the blacklist. Beyond Lardner's puckish assessment, there is scarcely a critical word spoken about Trumbo; his worst foible would appear to be a lack of a sense of proportion. He was renowned for his eloquent letters of complaint (read here by Michael Douglas, Liam Neeson and Paul Giamatti, among others), lobbed at political antagonists and impatient creditors alike. From ideological protests to passing grievances, he always fired heavy artillery. While he's sometimes been called a martyr of the blacklist, "Trumbo" shows him as an indomitable brawler who never turned the other cheek when he could deliver a verbal roundhouse.

Yes, they are safe. In recent years, a number of studies, later backed by the media, have cast doubt over the safety of aluminium salts in antiperspirant deodorants. These salts are subject to numerous tests, performed both by antiperspirant manufacturers and health authorities. Following these tests, aluminium salts have proven to be the safest and most effective compounds to control sweating. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has recently reiterated its favorable stance on their use in the current conditions: in fact, legislation in force establishes that antiperspirant substances are only permitted in cosmetic formulas in determined concentrations. Deodorants with medium-high concentrations of antiperspirants display a warning informing the consumer that they should not be applied to broken or irritated skin. The American FDA has also confirmed the safety of aluminium chloride complexes and has approved their use in antiperspirant deodorants. To date, there is no reliable scientific evidence that can call into question the safety of antiperspirant deodorants containing aluminium salts. Subsequently, aluminium salts can be used safely, with the antiperspirant deodorants that contain them being in full-compliance with the stringent requisites of European legislation on cosmetic products.
KIKO MILANO strictly complies with the requisites of said European legislation. Consequently, KIKO MILANO antiperspirant deodorants, like all our cosmetic products, are tested and safe.

LOS ANGELES - The creators of "The Last of Us" aren't planning to tone down the post-apocalyptic video game's violent content, including a young, knife- and gun-wielding girl.
Neil Druckmann, the game's creative director, said the developers at Naughty Dog in Santa Monica, Calif., won't alter "The Last of Us," which features 14-year-old Ellie as one of the protagonists, in light of recent real-world violence, including the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The PlayStation 3 survival-adventure game casts players such as Joel, a gruff middle-aged survivor of a worldwide outbreak, who's tasked with protecting Ellie. Throughout "The Last of Us," the girl serves as a shrewd accomplice who guides Joel through abandoned buildings, gathers supplies and assists him in thwarting enemies.
"For us, everything in the game is necessary for the story," said Druckmann in a recent interview. "The reason Ellie is that age and the violence is that brutal is because of what we're saying with the story. You have to buy into the conflict and desperation these characters live under. If you remove any of those elements, the story suffers, and that's why we would never do it."
Some critics argued "The Last of Us" was glorifying violence after early footage of the game showed Ellie stabbing a hostile human survivor in the back, followed by Joel shooting him in the face with a shotgun. The cover for "The Last of Us," which is scheduled for release May 7, features both Ellie and Joel armed with guns.
"For someone like Ellie, because this is the only world she's ever known, things we would find horrific and that would probably scar us for life are just everyday occurrences for her," said Druckmann. "She can still, in a way, keep some of her innocence because of that. She pulls the humanity out of Joel, and this is really a coming-of-age story for Ellie."

The image above shows the tomb of Ghiyasuddin Balban who ruled Delhi for about 20 years in the thirteenth century. It is one of the riches awaiting you on this walk.
According to the legends, the city of Delhi was first settled in the areas around Old Fort and it was called Indraprastha.
Mehrauli is one of the oldest parts of the city, inhabited at least from 10th century onwards, when Lal Kot fort was built by Tomara kings Surajpal and Anangpal. The name of the city "Dhilli" was given in that period.
The Tomara dynasty ended in 1149 AD when Prithvi Raj Chauhan became the ruler and converted Lal Kot into a new fort called Qila Rai Pithora. Chauhan ruled the city for more than 40 years. Chauhans were defeated by Qutubuddin Aibak around the end of 12th century, who built the well known Qutab Minar in Mehrauli.
Aibaks were replaced by Khilji dynasty and then the Slave dynasty of Mamluks in the 13th century, who continued to live in Mehrauli, though Khilji did initiate the construction of a water reservoir called Hauz-e-Alai to the north, in the area now known as Hauz Khas. Later, as Mughals arrived in Delhi in the 16th century, Delhi moved even further towards north-east, but Mehrauli continued to be inhabited. For example, the last Mughal king Bahadur Shah Zafar had built a palace in Mehrauli and one of his sons was buried here.
Qutab Minar metro station is on the Yellow line of the metro that connects Jahangir Puri in the north-west to Huda city centre in Gurgaon in the south of Delhi. Coming from the city centre Connaught Place, where the metro runs under-ground, "Qutab Minar" is the first over-ground station. The station is situated 2 km from Qutab Minar.
The map below shows the path for this walking tour. Qutab Minar metro station is shown on the bottom of this map (1). The blue dots indicate the path on Anuvrat Road going to Qutab Minar (2), a historical landmark of Delhi.
I preferred to take an auto-rickshaw from the metro station to Qutab Minar, and then walk back towards Mehrauli flower market and the Mehrauli Archeological park. However, if you wish, you can walk the whole way!
When I was a child, it was possible to climb to its top. Going up the narrow stairs going round and round was not an easy trip but I still remember standing on the small terrace at the top and looking out from there. At that time, someone had explained that king Qutubuddin was married to a Hindu queen, who refused to eat without first praying to the river Yamuna. Thus, the king had ordered the building of the tall tower so that his queen could see the river and do her daily prayers.
The history books do not repeat this story any more, so probably it was just a local legend. Another local legend at that time was that the tower was even taller with 2 additional floors and that a plane had crashed into it, destroying the upper 2 stories. Even this story is no longer repeated so I guess it was also an urban legend.
The walls of the tower and other buildings nearby are adorned with words from Koran in Arabic.
The other buildings around the Minar include a couple of mosques, including one with an imposing gate called Alai Darwaza (The gate of god).
One of the courtyards near the Minar has a 4th century iron pillar, made from an alloy in such a way that it does not get rusted. Different legends are linked to this pillar. One legend says that if you stand with your back towards the pillar and then try to reach out and circle it with your arms - if your hands can meet, you will become a king. However, some years ago, the pillar was surrounded by an iron railing so it is not possible to test this legend any more.
Another legend says that this pillar called Killi in the local language, gave the name of Dhilli and then Dilli (Delhi in English) to the city.
Qutab Minar is a World Heritage site of UNESCO.
As you come out of Qutab Minar and start walking towards the metro station, take the small lane on the right, and it will bring you to the flower market of Mehrauli. The market works mainly early in the morning when retailers from different parts of the city and families preparing for a marriage, come here to buy flowers.
It is a very unassuming street, dusty and full of pot holes, but it has a lot of ambiance.
As you come out of the market on the Anuvrat road, if you are interested, you can climb up the hill across the road to visit the giant Mahavir statue, a contemporary of Buddha, who gave a message of non violence and love towards all living beings. The followers of Mahavir are called Jains, who usually observe strict dietary norms and do not eat any kinds of meat, fish, eggs and even some vegetables such as onions and garlic.
I wanted to spend more time in Mehrauli Archeological park, so I gave a miss to the Mahavir statue, promising myself that soon I will go back there to visit it.
The ruins of Mehrauli archeological park surrounded by a forest are one of the most enchanting places of this city. To reach the park, continue on Anavrat road towards the metro station and you will see the park board and gates on your right.
As you enter the park, if you turn towards the right, you will reach the tomb of king Balban (4) from 13th century, presented in the first image of this post. All around the tomb, there are ruins of old houses and buildings.
A short walk will bring you to the Jamali Kamali mosque and tombs (5). Sheikh Fazulullah or Jamali was a sufi saint and poet in the 16th century. The tomb was built in 1528 and has two graves - that of Jamali and his close friend Kamali. Some persons believe that Jamali and Kamali were not just friends but also lovers. The tomb has lovely glazed blue coloured tiles.
Across the entrance to the mosque, on a hillock there is a small chhattri (umbrella), built by an Englishman called "Metcalf's folly". Baron Thomas Theophillus Metcalf was the British Resident in the court of the last Mughal king Bahadur Shah Zafar II and is credited with different buildings in Mehrauli area.
As one proceeds inside the park, some distance down the road is the tomb of Quli Khan, from the time of Mughal emperor Akbar. The tomb building was restored and converted into holiday place called Dilkhusha by Baron Metcalf, who also built a boat house (6) near by. The small lake near the boat house is now dry and covered by the forest.
About half a kilometre later, walking on a narrow forest path, you will reach (7) Rajon ki Baoli (King's stepwell), a famous stepwell built by noble Daulat Khan during the reign of Sikander Lodhi in the 15th century.
Across the entrance to the Baoli, if you climb on the hillock, you will find numerous important looking tombs, indicating that once this was an important place.
Further along the road, you will see other ruins of buildings and tombs, till you reach a small street of Mehrauli residential area. Along a mosque on the right, you will see another old stepwell, (8) Gandhak ki Baoli (Sulphur well), which is supposed to be a place for miracle cures of illnesses and disabilities. While there, I saw a poor family with their disabled child, going down towards the dirty looking water of this well.
Near by is the (9) dargah of a Sufi saint Bakhtiar Kaki. People come from far away places to ask favours from this saint.
Before the arrival of the Turks, this part of the city was an important pilgrimage centre for Hindus with different temples. Some of those temples were destroyed and their buildings were used for making the new monuments of the Muslim rulers, as you can see from the following picture of a column in the Qutab Minar courtyard.
Today, Mehrauli is also a symbol of syncretic traditions of Hindus and Muslims. In October every year it celebrates a flower festival called "Phoolwaalon ki Sair" (The walk of persons carrying flowers) that passes from the ancient Yogmaya temple to the Sufi dargah of Bakhtiar Kaki. This occasion is marked by a lovely cultural programme that runs for 3 days.
Legend has that the ancient Yogmaya temple, dedicated to the sister of Krishna, is one of the old temples from Mahabharata times. This temple had given the old name of Yoginipura to this part of Delhi. I did not visit this temple this time, but I hope to go back to it soon.
I was getting late and after the visit to the dargah I decided to walk back through the Mehrauli Archeological park and towards the metro station. The whole walk had taken more than 3 hours. Unfortunately, this meant that I missed out on many other important places in Mehrauli including the Lal Kot walls, Jahaz Mahal, Zafar Mahal, tomb of Adham Khan and Bhul Bhulaiya (maze). To visit all those other places, I needed at least 2 additional hours. So I plan to go back one day and complete this walking tour of Mehrauli.
Thus, if you are planning this walking tour, keep plenty of time, wear comfortable and simple shoes and carry water and other ncessities with you. The whole area is almost wild, that gives it a lovely air, but it means that you will not find any services or shops on the way. In my opinion, it would not be advisable to women travelling alone to attempt this walk - there are just too many lonely stretches.
This walk will take you through a dead city. There is no way to find out the names of the persons who lived and died here or the historical events linked to them. Often you will reach rough paths dividing and going into different directions - it does not matter which path you will take, you will end up with some interesting ruins. Thus, if you like adventure, you will love this walk!

Severe storms accompanied by rain and hail swept through the Midwest and Northeast regions of the country Thursday night, canceling hundreds of flights and leaving tens of thousands of people without power.
At least one person was dead after a line of intense thunderstorms touched down in the New York City tri-state area producing a large amount of wind damage, in a weather phenomenon called a derecho, NBC 4 NewYork reported.
Lightning struck a church steeple in Brooklyn, which sent scaffolding collapsing over a 61-year-old man, who died in the incident.
In Elmira, N.Y., a tornado reportedly touched down shortly after 4 p.m., damaging a mall and a local country club, The Associated Press reported.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the storms knocked out power for over 90,000 utility customers across the state, while more than 10,000 customers suffered power outages in New Jersey.
Over 900 flights were grounded in the wake of the storm, with the highest number of cancellations taking place at LaGuardia Airport in New York, FlightAware reported.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center had issued a severe weather outlook warning of the risk for "widespread damaging winds" from Indiana and Ohio across Pennsylvania, southeast New York, into western Massachusetts and Connecticut."
NBC Chicago reported that winds reaching 70 mph swept through the city around the same time a hangar wall collapsed at O'Hare International Airport, which left officials wondering whether the collapsed was tied to the storm.
American Electric Power of Ohio said that 51,000 customers were without power across the Buckeye State, NBC News reported.
In Pennsylvania, powerful winds and heavy rain brought down trees and power lines from Lehigh County to Philadelphia, leaving almost 17,000 customers in the dark and 10,700 without power, NBC 10 Philadelphia reported.
Multiple lightning strikes were also reported in Connecticut. According to NBC Connecticut, thunderstorms and damaging winds began to roll in just after 7 p.m., leaving nearly 50 percent of Woodbury in the dark.
This isn't the first case of extreme weather to sweep the U.S. this summer.
Just a few weeks ago, a heat wave roasted much of the country, aggravating what was already the worst U.S. drought in more than five decades.

Olympic flag arrives in Rio, host of 2016 Games
Issued on: Modified:
The Olympic flag arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, marking the beginning of four years of preparation for Brazil ahead of the 2016 Summer Games. Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes pledged the games will leave a vast legacy for the city of Rio.
AP - The Olympic flag touched down on Brazilian soil on Monday, marking the start of four years of preparations ahead of the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.
Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes waved the five-ringed flag as he and other top officials disembarked from the flight that brought them back from London, where they attended the games' closing ceremony on Sunday.
Speaking at a packed news conference at Rio's Tom Jobim international airport, Paes called it an "important moment" for Rio and for Brazil at large. He pledged the games will leave a vast legacy for Rio, the beachside metropolis that suffered from decades of neglect after it lost national capital status to Brasilia in 1960.
"I see the arrival of this Olympic flag as not the start, but the consolidation of an important process of transformation for the city of Rio de Janeiro," he said.
"Rio is a city that spent the lion's share of its history, much more time than it should have, looking toward the past. I'm sure that this process of transformation, this turning toward the future, has been consolidated here."
He added the most important effects of the Olympics "are sometimes, many times, the intangible transformations, the impalpable ones related to the brand of a country, the brand of a city, with the self-esteem of a country."
A handful of demonstrators gathered outside the airport to protest against expulsions connected with Olympic projects and others tied to the 2014 soccer World Cup, which Brazil is also hosting.
The Popular Committee for the World Cup and Olympics, which organized the protest, says as many as 170,000 people risk being removed from their homes, or already have been removed, due to projects related to the two mega-events.
The group says some 4,000 people living in the so-called Vila Autodromo, where the Olympic Park is to be constructed, are facing expulsion. Activists have complained of a lack of consultation between the government and the affected communities and also of low compensation paid out to those kicked out of their homes.
Asked about the government's plan was for the residents of Vila Autodromo, Paes responded that nothing would be done without extensive consultations.
"No one is going to throw anyone out of anywhere ... without there being an alternative," he said. "The people will only leave there with lots of consultations, with lots of discussion, with lots of respect."
He added that some of those opposed to the evictions were people "who are always railing against the government. That's why things were paralyzed for so long. They don't want anything to happen here."
The Olympic flag, made out of silk for the 1988 games in Seoul, South Korea, will be temporarily housed in the City Hall and will be open to viewings by visitors.

The first book was My Busy Book from 1965 when I was in Kindergarten at Jennings Public School. Perhaps some of you may remember the salmon coloured books from the 1960s. Fortunately it was a small school. The teacher traced many shapes each afternoon for us to fill in with various patterns the next day. She also wrote dotted words for us to trace the next day. It seems that jelly pads had yet to reach Jennings.
|Unfortunately the salmon colour didn't scan.
The second of these exercise books belonged to my grandfather's brother, Matthew John Moore who attended Jennings Public School. I haven't always been in possession of this book. I attended the Jenning's centenary celebrations in 1990 and was excited to see that this book was part of the display. I asked the organisers who had donated the book for the display but was informed that it was found, along with several other books in the storeroom out the back. A few weeks after I was surprised to receive the book in the mail as a gift.
The exercise book is dated 10 November 1922 and was used for the Qualifying Certificate Examination for Matthew J. Moore who was in 6th class and was 14 years and 10 months. No (3) is written inside the front cover, so perhaps there were two previous books.
There were several parts to this examination.
- Arithmetic - this included mental arithmetic and longer calculations.
- Dictation - discussed the effect of industrialisation upon England.
- Geography - list principal Australian ports, principal exports of England and Canada, discuss cloud types and discuss the difference between the eastern and western rivers in New South Wales.
- Poetry
- Letter writing
- Composition
The book continued to be used the following year. However, the writing style is different, so perhaps someone else filled in the rest of the book.
|Maths calculations
|This is Uncle Matt's description of Wallan Garra (name is now spelt Wallangarra).
Wallangarra is the town on the Queensland side and Jennings is on the New South Wales side of the border.
In our town we have a large Station comprising Ladies Waiting Room, Stations Masters Office, Parcels office, Ticket office, a large dining room capable of seating one hundred and fifty people also a tea bar and hotel bar. The post office is at the lower end of the station. There is also a triangle where both trains can be turned. This is done by three rails. There are two hotels one built and the other in course of erection. The men about here mostly work in the Railway Department. Others have orchards and do dairying.
As with many of my posts I now want to see what family or useful information can be gained from Matt's book.
1. One of the letters written was to Foy and Gibson in The Valley, Brisbane asking for patterns and prices for materials. This was probably how people in Wallangarra purchased materials.
2. The composition discusses a bush walk gathering wild roses and maiden hair fern. One of the boys was bitten by a snake. A description of how to tie a tourniquet and scarify the bite was discussed. Luckily, like all boys then he had his pocket knife with him. Treating snake bites was probably general knowledge for young boys then.
3. Two of the stories mention filling a pickle bottle with water. I wonder what these looked like?
4. Another letter says they will meet the visitor at the Station. Travel to Wallangarra in 1922 would normally have been by train.
5. The description of Wallangarra stated that one hotel was currently being built. This was the Jennings Hotel which is having 90 year celebrations at the end of the year.
6. The triangle where the trains could be turned was used because Wallangarra/Jennings was the terminus station for Queensland and New South Wales and I presume that the engines had to be turned round.
An aside - My great grandmother, Mary McColm was one of Jennings' original pupils in 1889. Her children, including my grandfather James and his brother Matthew attended there. My father, however, went to Wallangarra State School on the Queensland side of the border. I went to Jennings like my grandfather and his mother. Unfortunately, I can't claim four generations of our family at the same school.
