It's the new kid on the block, and the residents of Hove are super excited about Fatto a Mano coming to Church Road if the queues outside tonight are anything to go by! Granted, it is prime time on a Friday night, but this is something else. After a mix up on our part by calling the wrong restaurant to reserve our table, we decide that it's a nice enough September eve to sit outside and observe the hustle and bustle from outside.
Stress levels must be high, but the staff seem cool, calm and collected – this clearly isn't their first rodeo. Our incredibly friendly and smiley waitress, is very accommodating, and despite Fatto a Mano bursting at the seams she is happy for us to set up camp outside (the conspicuous camera hanging around my neck, may have helped?). Later they will have to turn people away, because management have quite rightly identified that the kitchen will not keep up with the number of bums on seats. I am impressed that they make this call; it is nice that the staff care about their diners' experience!
The menu is small with a perfect selection of Neapolitan pizza made with dough that is 'soft and pillowy, rather than thin and crispy', made on site every day, proved for a minimum of 24 hours, then topped and cooked in a wood fired oven at 450+ degrees. A modest number of Starters and Sides, four 'White' (without tomato) and six 'Red' (with tomato) classic pizzas and three 'folded' options, two Calzone and one Saltimbocca, and two salad options make it up. From 'Drinks', we order a carafe of Chianti Rufina Fattoria Di Basciano (£11), which is the same price as two large glasses, though we ponder that we might get slightly more wine?
I can't go 'Italian' and not order olives and I am thrilled to see my all-time favs are available here. The Olive Silciliana (£3.50) has to be the most beautifully green, juicy and flavourful olive that exists, and if it is not… I look forward to the day when I am proved wrong. My partner just loves Italian cured meats, so he goes for the Affettato Misto – Parma, Capocollo, Finocchiona (£6.50) – as a starter dish. We are read the specials, which are simply one 'Meat' and one 'Veg', both sounding equally delicious.
We make our choice quickly, trusting our instincts with the meat special and the 'Napolitana'.
This way we have one with tomato and one without. The waitress asks us if we want cheese on the Napolitana as this is optional and in fact not mentioned as an ingredient on the menu. I ask how the pizza is traditionally served and note that as there is fish on the pizza, it is probably without cheese. She confirms this for me and we tell her we would like the pizza to come as it should do, so no cheese please – 'like the Italians would have it'. She seems happy with our response.
Starters impossible not to devour!
The starters arrive. The meat selection looks glorious, vibrant and plentiful. Our waitress has kindly requested it come with an additional piece of crispy ciabatta bread, as there are two of us sharing. This is a big starter, especially in consideration of our pizzas to come, but it is also delicious and impossible not to devour.
This no frills dish is any meat lover's dream.
The quality and flavour of each different meat needing nothing else – classic Parma Ham or prosciutto di Parma, wonderfully thin sliced cured ham produced specifically in the Parma region of Italy; the Capocollo is a traditional Italian and Corsican pork made from the dry-cured muscle of the pork shoulder or neck and has a delicate flavour with cinnamon spiced notes and tender, fatty texture; the Finocchiona – as raved about by our waitress – is a kind of salami of chopped pork meat (generally cheek, shoulder, or belly), fennel seeds, red wine, salt, and pepper, tasting distinct and leaving you wanting more with each mouthful.
We know once we polish of our starters that we're likely to go home with doggy bags/pizza boxes. We also know that in the name of 'review' that Tiramisu we've eyed up on the dessert menu will have to be sampled. So we are grateful for the slightly longer than average wait for our mains to arrive. It gives us the perfect opportunity to let our food digest and to sit back and absorb the atmosphere.
It's easy to forget yourself sat outside Fatto a Man as the sun goes down and the world goes by. You might just be in Italy and not in Hove at all.
There is something so satisfying about the way pizza looks. It's something to do with the multi coloured nature of it, the chaotic way the ingredients are scattered on top; and the sheer size of it, often spreading over the edges of the plate it is served on. It's seriously unpretentious and comforting food.
These pizzas don't disappoint flavour wise either. The Napolitana is rich and salty, with a beautifully balanced tomato sauce. The addition of cheese would have been wasted amongst all these strong flavours; the hit of olives, capers and anchovies make this a pizza for people who aren't afraid of strong flavours; and the oregano, garlic and basil notes complement the tomato. The dough is 'pillowy' just as we are promised.
It is not stodgy though; it is light and easy to eat and takes nothing away from the topping. The 'Special Meat' pizza ('White' with no tomato) looks equally as impressive. Big chunks of aubergine 'funghetto' (which refers to the way the aubergine is cooked, reminiscent of the classic sautéed mushrooms) pepper the pizza and curls of that beautiful Tuscan Finocchiona flick up about the splattering of melted mozzarella cheese. The flavours in this pizza are more subtle, but in perfect harmony with each other. The fennel in the meat is clearly detectable, but not too overpowering; the smoked Provola pairs with the Finocchiona perfectly, enhancing the taste of the meat.
If it wasn't for the Tiramisu (£5), we'd have happily taken the last of our pizza home and called it a night. But there you have it – I'm weak in the face of a Tiramisu … and there is more than enough here for two. We share our way through the creamy, coffee, chocolate covered delight of a dessert without too much trouble at all. It is as if we have forgotten the food that has come before it. This is a proper dessert. And a great Tiramisu! Shortly after we have licked the last cream covered spoonful clean, our lovely waitress brings us two complementary shot glasses of Limoncello (a digestivo). Super sweet and syrupy – I certainly couldn't drink more than one of these – this is a nice touch and aptly finishes off a great evening of Italian food.
This is Fatto a Mano's newest and second restaurant. Starting out on London Road and making a name for itself, this expansion makes perfect sense. Many restaurants have been and gone from the space where Fatto a Mano now stands on Church Road. But experiencing the wonderful buzz here this evening makes me sure they won't face the same fate. It is of course true us foodies flock to try out the latest grub on offer; sample the newest cuisine; and dine in the newest establishments. Queues don't bother us, they just make us all the more determined – we need to see what all the fuss is about. This 'fuss' might die down, but what should remain is a solid, 'go to' restaurant, that you'll never grow tired of visiting. The important thing is, the food is great at Fatto a Mano and with a menu as thoughtful and reasonably priced as this – it is accessible too.

Understanding IVF
IVF is undoubtedly the best-known fertility treatment and tends to be the "blanket" term, particularly in mainstream media, to describe all fertility interventions. There is a good reason for this: IVF was absolutely groundbreaking when it first resulted in the birth of a healthy baby girl in Manchester in 1978. 35 years and 5 million babies later we are making huge advancements in the field of fertility medicine, but IVF remains at the heart of successfully treating subfertility.
IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilisation and it actually describes the part of the procedure that occurs in the embryology lab, not in the clinic's theatre.
In our IVF Clinics, treatment actually begins early in the menstrual cycle when the female patient takes fertility medication prescribed for her by one of our medical team to stimulate the growth of follicles on the ovaries.
Each of these follicles or sacs should contain an egg. We monitor the development of these follicles using transvaginal ultrasound scans and hormone blood tests over the course of approximately 8-10 days.
After each scan and blood test, we have the option to adjust medication to either further stimulate or to reduce the stimulation so that we can achieve the optimum number of eggs while making sure that our patient remains well.
When we believe that the follicles have developed to an appropriate size and number we instruct the patient to use an injection to trigger ovulation. The egg retrieval procedure then takes place 36 hours later.
This procedure is carried out by one of ReproMed's doctors in our operating theatres in Dublin. It is carried out under local anaesthesia or sedation and is relatively quick: the average procedure lasting approximately 20 minutes depending on the number of follicles the patient has.
Using a needle and with the guidance of ultrasonography, the doctor retrieves the fluid from inside the follicles and passes to the embryologist who examines the fluid for the presence of eggs.
IVF or ICSI?
While the female partner is undergoing the egg retrieval procedure the sperm sample, donor or partner is being prepared for use in IVF.
Any mature eggs retrieved from the procedure are placed in a Petri dish in an incubator in the laboratory, to which the prepared sperm sample is added. These are allowed to culture overnight to allow fertilisation to occur.
In some cases, fertilisation needs to be assisted, for example where sperm quality is poor, so our embryology team will utilise a method known as ICSI, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection.
The embryologist will select an individual sperm cell and inject it directly into the egg, thus bypassing part of the challenge that sperm cells face to pass through the 'shell' of the egg.
The eggs are incubated overnight and 16 hours later our embryology team will check them to assess whether fertilisation has occurred.
Over the course of 5 days, we assess the progress of the embryos at specific periods to assess whether development is happening as it should.
On the fifth day, we select one or two of the best embryos and they are transferred into the patient's uterus by one of our doctors, using a fine catheter.
Two to three weeks later, we ask the patient to return to us to have a pregnancy test at which stage we will be able to confirm by hormone levels in the blood whether the treatment has been successful or not.

Is it just our family or do dads make the best breakfast? When I go back home I can always count on my dad to make me whatever I want for breakfast: waffles, coffee cake, oatmeal, or my personal favorite, scrambled eggs. I don't know what he does, but scrambled eggs always taste the best when my pops makes them for me. That is why I thought I would dedicate this Father's Day post to my dad's best meal, eggs and bacon!
Last summer Max designed and helped build a chicken coop for our friend Garrison, and yes, he rents an apartment in the densely populated neighborhood of Albany Park, a true urban farmer he is. Here are some pics of the designer chicken coop in progress.
The hens testing out their new home.
I think Max and Garrison could go into business designing and building upscale chicken coops, don't you? Anyway, Garrison brought us over a dozen fresh eggs recently, so naturally we needed to make a farmer's breakfast of bacon and eggs.
The scrambled eggs were prepared just like normal. I whisked the eggs, salt, pepper, and a little milk together and then put them on a hot skillet. If you ever doubted the power of fresh ingredients, I think buying farm fresh eggs at a farmer's market will sell you on them every time. They are noticeably more flavorful and delicious than the eggs you buy in the store. Oh man, I am wishing I still had some!
I opted for a little something different with the bacon though. I restaurant I frequent when I head back to the capital city of Lincoln, Nebraska is Bread & Cup. They have this delicious bacon that is coated with pepper. I decided to give this version a whirl. So I liberally coated both sides of the bacon with pepper then put it on a hot skillet. The bacon cooks a little slower with the pepper on it, and the pepper also locks in the delicious bacon juices. It turns out oh so good. The bacon has a spicy kick to it and the texture is awesome. This is a great way to change up regular old bacon.
So here it is folks, the easiest of breakfasts with a little punch from farm fresh ingredients and pepper. Now the real question is, was it as good as my dad's? Not a chance. . .
Happy Father's Day, Pops and to the rest of you fathers out there!
Oh my, what a delicious pizza pie!

25 Years Ago, 'Tombstone' Energized the Western Genre

New Netflix Christmas Movies: What To Watch This Holiday Season
In the half a century since westerns stopped being a preferred American film genre, filmmakers gave never quite tired of trying to bring it back. But modern westerns, from Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning Unforgiven to more recent ones like James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma or the Coen brothers' remake of True Grit all have a post-modern, mournful, "lament for the death of the West" feel to them. Which is fine and good and artful. But it makes you appreciate a movie like Tombstone — released 25 years ago on Christmas Day — all the movie for being an unapologetic, straightfoward western, featuring top-notch performances by Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, and a cast of dozens at its center.
Director George P. Cosmatos was best known for directing Rambo: First Blood, Part II before this movie, and he once again got an icon in his lead role. Kurt Russell plays Wyatt Earp with a furnace set to simmer until he gives it a kick and then it's full-on inferno. There's no holding back and no instinct towards decorum. Just hell riding with him.
Tombstone tells the story of Wyatt Earp in the years after his fame as a lawman, as he and his brothers Virgil (Sam Elliott) and Morgan (Bill Paxton) move out to the mining town of Tombstone in Arizona to make their fortune. Unfortunately, the town is under the criminal thumb of the Cowboys gang, led by Curly Bill (Powers Boothe) and featuring sharpshooter Johnny Ringo (Michael Beihn). Soon enough, Wyatt's old pal Doc Holliday (Kilmer) shows up in town, drunk but still capable of drawing his gun faster than anybody in the West.
The rest of the cast is pretty sprawling, and includes the likes of Billy Bob Thornton as a shifty poker dealer, Dane Delaney as Wyatt's love interest, and Jason Priestley and Billy Zane in a subplot that leans as far into the direction of a gay love story without ever actually going there.
The pleasures of Tombstone are right there on the surface, though, and the movie does not make you strain to find them. Even the characters in the movie are impatient for the Earp brothers to face off against the Cowboys. What it takes to get Wyatt into the fight is the stuff of the first half of the movie. The second half is all about watching the gunfights play out.
While Kurt Russell and his glorious 'stache are definitely the stars of the show, it's probably Kilmer who gives the best performance. His boozy, flamboyant Doc Holliday is the closest the movie comes to post-modernism. Holliday knows his legend precedes him and he plays with that notion a bunch on his road towards the ultimate face-off with Ringo. But Kilmer is so committed to being Doc in the moment that the movie never feels like it's apologizing for itself. It's easily one of Kilmer's signature performances.
In the 25 years since Tombstone, no western has come close to the exuberance and enjoyment that it presents. It may very well be the last uncomplicated western. Which didn't win it any awards back then, but it sure helped it endure as a classic.

5 Dividends Paying Up to 8% (Ranked Worst to First)
Brett Owens, Chief Investment Strategist
Fact: there are still lots of big, cheap and safe dividends out there—but they're going fast as this market floats higher.
So today we're going to get right to it and look at four options for your portfolio now, ranked from worst to first.
"Worst to First" Income Play No. 4: 10-Year Treasuries
The 10-year Treasury offers a "safety feature" mainstream investors love: no matter what happens, you'll get your principal back after 10 years.
That's actually a trap, though, because inflation gnaws at your nest egg the whole time, and your yield—1.6% today—won't help you: it's 40% below the rate of inflation, which jumped 2.6% year over year in March!
Even if you set that depressing fact aside, you'd still need to save $2.5 million to get $40,000 in income from a Treasury, which I see as the minimum most folks would need for a decent retirement.
Meantime, Treasuries have taken a beating this year, driving their yields up. Since inflation drives up Treasury yields (and depresses bond prices, which move in opposition to yields), that's likely to continue, making buying now, and missing out on a potentially higher yield later, pretty unappealing.
Treasuries Get Clobbered
"Worst to First" Income Play No. 3: Dividend Aristocrats
Next up is the dividend play everyone thinks of first—which is why it's the most overrated! That would be the Dividend Aristocrats, or the 65 stocks that have raised their payouts for 25 straight years or more.
Great as that sounds, these stocks aren't the place to look for current income: they only yield 1.9%, on average, today , which is just plain weak: it's just a hair above the S&P 500 average of 1.3%. And bear in mind that the S&P 500 includes many stocks that pay no dividends at all!
And despite the Aristocrats' growing dividends, these stocks trail the S&P 500 by total return (or with dividends included) over the last three years, going by the return of the benchmark ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL):
Dividend Monarchy as Lame as the Real Thing
This isn't to say that all Dividend Aristocrats are to be avoided. Ecolab (ECL), for example, handed us a tidy 31% return in a little over a year and a half after we added it to my Hidden Yields service's portfolio in April 2018. But you do need to be choosy—and whatever you do, avoid buying these stocks through ETFs.
"Worst to First" Income Play No. 2: High-Yield Bond ETFs
That brings us to corporate bonds, but we're not going to go shopping in the investment-grade aisle. That's because they're a crowded trade, with many institutional players limited to only these corporates, which are mainly issued by big, well-established companies—think Apple (AAPL), Pfizer (PFE), Walmart (WMT) and the like—and therefore pay lousy coupon rates.
Instead, we're going to hunt for bargains among non-investment grade, or "junk," bonds, where yields are a lot higher. The ETF play here is the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High-Yield Bond ETF (JNK), which offers a 30-day SEC yield of around 4% as I write this.
That's better than you'll get from investment-grade corporates, stocks or Treasuries, but it's still lousy, historically speaking. (Especially when, by going a step further, we can get a far bigger payout from high-yield bonds—see our next pick, below).
There are a couple other reasons why JNK isn't your best route:
JNK is an "automated" ETF, and in the world of non-investment-grade corporates, we need a pro at the helm to zero in on the best issues (and avoid the worst).
JNK only has two ways to pay us: through its dividend and through gains in its bond portfolio. But our next option has three.
"Worst to First" Income Play No. 1: High-Yield Bond CEFs
With corporate bonds, you're far better off buying through a closed-end fund (CEF), rather than an ETF, for a few reasons. The first is that CEFs are run by human portfolio managers, and the best ones are backed by firms with deep research tools. That means they also get first crack at the best corporates as they're issued.
You simply can't get either of these advantages from an algorithm-run ETF.
Next, as I mentioned a second ago, CEFs have three ways to pay us:
Collapsing discounts: CEFs' market prices often differ from their per-share net asset value (NAV, or the value of the investments in their portfolios). This never happens with ETFs. It also nicely sets us up to buy when discounts are large, then ride the price up as the discount vanishes.
Big dividends: CEFs yield an outsized 7.2%, on average, today, and many high-yield bond CEFs pay much more (like the one we'll discuss below).
Rising NAV, as the value of their holdings increases.
A great example of all three in action is the DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund (DSL), run by the so-called Bond God himself, Jeffrey Gundlach.
When we bought DSL four years ago, it traded at a 7% discount and yielded a gaudy 11%! Fast-forward to today, and that discount has narrowed to just 0.7% while paying a still very healthy 7.3%, far better than JNK's payout.
The fund's narrowing discount has nicely supported its price, letting us enjoy our big yield in peace—and grab a 70% total return, nearly doubling JNK's performance.
CEF Smokes the High-Yield Bond ETF
These days, some of the best deals in the bond space are in CEFs that hold international bonds, like the Western Asset High Income II Fund (HIX). The fund still trades at a discount (around 2% as I write this), as rising rates in the US have lured investors away from international issues.
Will that hamper HIX?
Nope. Because the fund's dividend (paid monthly, by the way) yields 8% now, and its highest-paying bond is a 7.4%-yielding issue from French telecom firm SFR SA. How can a 1.6%-paying Treasury compete with that? It can't, and we see this in HIX's NAV, which moved up in the last month:
HIX's High-Yield Bonds Draw Interest
This, by the way, is a nice time to buy, when a CEF's portfolio is showing strength, but the fund itself still trades at a discount.
2 Absolutely Critical Buys for 6.5% Dividends, 146% Returns
When it comes to high-yield investments, the regular fare—stocks and bonds—are NOT your only option.
There's another, even better play that gives us you MUCH more income than most bonds AND the unbeatable upside of a stock, too. These "profit-either-way" plays are normally the sole domain of billionaires, but there's a backdoor way you and I can jump in—and grab two things we all crave in this now:
Big dividends, paid monthly—I'm talking 6.5% payouts here—and these dividends GROW on the regular!
Big upside! The incredible dividend plays, which I call "VIP Shares" have racked up huge total returns—I'm talking 146%+. And their biggest gains are still to come.
My research team and I have been working day and night to unearth all the details on these powerful VIP Shares. We've narrowed our list down to 2 specific tickers to buy right now, and we've put everything you need to know about both in an exclusive FREE report you can access right here.
This may be the most important investment information you receive all year—and I urge you to act now, because our opportunity to grab these unbeatable income plays won't last long. Click here and get the full story.


This morning the Susband of the Sick woman was as good as his word. he produced us a young horse in tolerable order which we imedeately had killed and butchered. the inhabitents Seemed more accommodating this morning. they Sold us Some bread. we received a Second horse for Medecine & procription to a little girl with the rhumitism whome I had bathed in worm water, and anointed her a little with balsom Capivia.  I dressed the woman again this morning who declared that She had rested better last night than She had Since She had been sick. Sore Eyes is an universal Complaint among all the nations which we have Seen on the West Side of the rocky Mountains. I was busily imployed for several hours this morning in administering eye water to a Croud of applicants. we once more obtained a plentiful meal, much to the Comfort of all the party. Capt Lewis exchanged horses with We ark koomt and gave him a small flag with which he was much pleased and gratifyed. the Sorrel which Cap L. obtained is a Strong active well broke horse—. At this place we met with three men of a nation Called the Skeets-so-mish who reside at the falls of a Small river dischargeing itself into the Columbia on its East Side to the South of the enterance of Clarks river. this river they informed us headed in a large lake in the mountains and that the falls below which they reside was at no great distance from the lake. these people are the Same in their dress and appearance with the Chopunnish, tho' their language is entirely different. one of them gave me his whip which was a twisted Stick 18 Ins. in length at one end a pice of raw hide Split So as to form two Strings about 20 inches in length as a lash, to the other end a String passed through a hole and fastened at each end for a loope to Slip over the wrist. I gave in return for this whip a fathom of narrow binding. The River here Calld. Clarks river is that which we have heretofore Called Flathead river. Capt. Lewis has thought proper to Call this after myself for this Stream we know no indian name and no white man but our Selves was ever on this river. The river which Fiddler call's the great lake river may possiably be a branch of it, but if So it is but a very inconsiderable branch, and may as probably empty itself into the Columbia above as into Clarks river. the Stream which the party has heretofore Called Clarks river imedeately above the great falls, has it's three principal branches in Mountains Jefferson, Hood and the Northern Side of the S. W. Mountains and is of course a Short river. this river is Called by the Skillutes & Eneshure Nations Towannahhiooks which is also the name they Call those bands of Snake indians who Come on this river every Spring to Catch the Salmon—. The Kooskooske river may be Safely navigated at present all the rocks of the Sholes and rapids are perfectly Covered; the Current is Strong, the water Clear and Cold. this river is riseing fast—. The timber of this river which consists principally of the long leafed pine which commences about 2 miles below our present encampment on Colters Creek. it was 2 P M. this evening before we could collect our horses. at 3 P M. we Set out accompanied by the brother of the twisted hair and We-ark-koomt. we derected the horse which I had obtained for the purpose of eateing to be led as it was unbroke, in performing this duty a quarrel ensued between Drewyer and Colter—. We Continued our march along the river on its North Side 9 miles to a lodge of 6 families built of Sticks mats and dryed Hay. of the Same form of those heretofore discribed. we passed a Lodge of 3 families at 4 ms. on the river, no provisions of any discription was to be obtained of these people. a little after dark our young horse broke the rope by which he was Confined and made his escape much to the chagrine of all who recollected the keenness of their appetites last evening. the brother of the twisted hair & wearkkoomt with 10 others encamped with us this evening—.
The nativs have a Considerable Salmon fishery up Colters Creek. this Stream extends itself to the Spurs of the Rocky Mountain and in much the greater part of its Course passes through a well timbered pine Country. it is 25 yds. wide and discharges a large body of water. the banks low and bead formed of pebbles—. had a Small Shower of rain this evening. The Chopunnish about the Mouth of the Kooskooske bury their dead on Stoney hill Sides generally,  and as I was informed by an Indian who made Signs that they made a hole in the Grown by takeing away the Stones and earth where they wished to deposit the dead body after which they laid the body which was previously raped in a robe and Secured with Cords. over the body they placed Stones So as to form a Sort of arch on the top of which they put Stones and earth So as to Secure the body from the wolves and birds &c. they Sometimes inclose the grave with a kind of Sepulcher like the roof of a house formed of the canoes of the disceased. they also Sacrifice the favorite horses of the disceased. the bones of many of which we See on and about the graves.
Tuesday 6th. There was a cloudy wet morning; and we stayed in our camp. Capt. Lewis and Capt. Clarke acted as physicians to the sick of the village or lodge, for which they gave us a small horse, that we killed and eat, as we had no other meat of any kind. We continued here until about 3 o'clock, when we started and went on about nine miles, and encamped close to a lodge of the natives.

Death due to natural disaster is generally caused by dull trauma. Big number of corpse within short period in disaster area can cause fear of epidemic, however there is not any proof yet declaring that those corpse increase the risk of post-disater epidemic. When death occurs immediately after disaster, the human corpse does not cause epidemic. The infection sources are usually from the survivor than those who died due to disaster. Death due to communicable disease, pathogen organism could not survive in a dead body except on some cases that needs special treatment such as death due to cholera or dengue.

At Monkey Haven: Come and meet our adorable Muller's Gibbons – we've got mischievous Kajan (who's always up to tricks) and her long-suffering mum, Bono. Beautiful Bono is one of the oldest primates that we care for. She's great at grooming and will even give the keepers a little manicure to keep their cuticles in good shape. They both enjoy a good old sing-song (they're very noisy) – and in the wild, this is how they defend their territory from other gibbons who might want to share their space in the rainforest.
The lowdown: These gorgeous creatures come from Borneo. They are one of the smaller gibbons, typically weighing 5.4kg and reaching 61cm in height.
Diet: Mostly fruit with a bit of veg. Kajan's fave is grapes, while Bono is partial to a tasty onion.
These gibbons are monogamous and mate for life.
Before sunrise, male gibbons sing a solo song lasting up to 40 minutes to make their presence known.
These gibbons have a ring of brighter fur around their face.
They live for up to 40 years.


I have been reading Robert R. Reilly's Closing of the Muslim Mind: How Intellectual Suicide Created the Modern Islamic Crisis (Wilmington, Del.: Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2010). In the first part of the book Reilly supplies citation after citation to demonstrate that modern Muslim theology (though not Islam as such) holds that Allah is constrained by nothing, that if there is reason or consistency in his commands, it is not because he is reasonable or consistent, but merely because he wills that his commands should be reasonable and consistent. That which is right is right because he wills it; it is not the case that he wills it because it is right. If Allah tires of all this irrational-number business, he can make the relationship between a circle's circumference and the diameter (i.e., π) a rational number. If he feels like it he can make π rational for some circles and irrational for others. And he can change when it is rational and when it is not from day to day or from minute to minute, if he so wills.
Allah, as Reilly puts it, is pure will.
If he is right, I think we can say that all the differences between Islam and Christianity may be boiled down to this one statement: Allah is pure will; the God of the New Testament is pure love.
That our eyesight is so limited that we cannot with our eyes alone see the bacteria and germs that surround us is surely evidence of God's mercy toward us.
Suppose I ask you what 11 x 12 equals, and you say to me, "123." I then ask you, "Do you believe that?" You think a moment, and you answer, "Yes." Even though you are wrong, I shall be inclined to believe that you believe it.
Now suppose I ask a computer what 11 x 12 equals, and it gives me "123." Does it make sense for me to ask it, "Do you believe that?" And if I ask it, and it gives me the answer, "Yes," does it believe it? Does it believe anything? Can any AI object believe at all?


According to food historian and blogger Janet Clarkson, the very first printed recipe for chowder appeared in the Boston Evening Post in 1751. Written as a poem, it described a stew with onions, pork, fish, herbs, and biscuits (hard tack, I think).
Over the years "chowdah" evolved into a dairy-based stew in New England, and during the late 1800s the first tomato-based chowders showed up on the menu at Delmonico's in New York, perhaps influenced by Portuguese immigrants who often put clams together with pork and tomato sauce.
If you are used to thick (or thin) cream-based, cracker-riddled, white clam chowder, this Manhattan clam chowder is a completely different beast. Not even remotely like the New England favorite.
But, it's good in its own right, especially if you love tomatoes and clams. You can make it as brothy or thick as you like. In our case we're taking a little shortcut with the recipe by using canned clams for much of the clam component of the soup.
Living here in California we don't have as easy (or cheap) access to quahogs or chowder clams as they do on the eastern shore.
I originally had this soup in mind for Lent, and then remembered that it starts with bacon. It would still make an excellent soup for a Lenten fast, just skip the bacon and add more olive oil to start.
*If using fresh quahogs, scrub clean a dozen or more quahogs. Place clams in a small pot and add two cups of water. Bring water to a boil. Cover the pot and steam the clams until they completely open, about 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove clams from pot and set aside. Strain the clam steaming liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to catch any grit, reserving the liquid. Remove the clams from the shells, chop. Use chopped clams in place of canned. Use steaming liquid in place of clam broth.
1 Render the bacon fat. Slowly cook the bacon with the olive oil until the bacon is crispy. Remove, chop and set aside.
2 Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the carrots, celery and onion until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Do not brown the vegetables. Return chopped bacon to the pot.
3 Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the herbs, tomato juice, clam broth and the juice from the canned clams, mix well, then add the potatoes. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer gently until the potatoes are done, about 30-40 minutes.
4 When the potatoes are tender, add the canned clams and the live clams, cover the pot and simmer until the live clams open up, about 5-10 minutes. Add Tabasco, salt and black pepper to taste.
Place a clam in shell or two in each bowl for serving.

I just got done eating this recipe and me and my friend loved it. I minced the bacon in a processor and added an extra 2 cups of water and whole shrimp to make it a seafood sensation. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not a fan of clam chowder but I liked this recipe. I liked the bacon in this recipe. If I made this at home I would just use clam broth or juice and not put in actual clams.
I thought this recipe was quite good! Everything came together pretty well. I used canned clams and I think that if you're going to use canned clams, turn the heat off before putting them in the pot. They tend to get very chewy no matter what you do really. I would probably suggest using live clams rather than canned ones. Other than that, I really enjoyed everything especially the bacon!
I thought that the recipe was great, it tasted really good and the bacon gave it a nice rich flavor. But the clams that came in in clam were chewy so maybe just use fresh clans instead. We didn't have any difficulties with this recipe, but to make it to better you should use tomato juice because we used crushed tomatoes and it made it really thick and not soup or stew like. But overall it was delicious.
Thanks for letting us know how the recipe worked for you Tailya. I'm glad you liked it!
presidents choice now makes tomato clam cocktail…i used it ….way better than tomatoes also in the freezer area of fish u can purchase bags of pre cooked clam meat…its awesome not chewy…try it!!!
We had made this recipe in class. Instead of using fresh clams we had used can clam. When th soup was all done we turned the heat off before adding the clams making them less tough. We thought it was too thick so add more tomato liquid.
I died and went to heaven. If I had a bigger stomach, the pot of clam chowder would be empty. Just put a bit of pepper on top of your soup, and it's delicious. Thank you for making this awesome recipe.
Thank you so much for such great and easy recipe. I followed your recipe exactly just added two ears of corn because I had too many in my fridge. I had a little bit left over so I turned it into a sauce to go over linguine. For the sauce I just sauteed garlic in olive oil and butter, a dash of red pepper flakes, added wine and the leftover clam chowder. Finished it with basil. It was delicious!! Thanks again.
I've never had Manhatten clam chowder in my live I am 57yrs old we had these clams and I wanted to make clam chowder. Due to Dr. orders I could have cream or milk so my husband told me to make manhatten clam chowder I found this recipe was is wonderful. Except I did add I added 3 cloves of garlic 1 green pepper and dill weed.
We just made this today and everyone loved it! Sadly I couldn't find any clams in the shell, so we just stuck to clams already out of the shell. Still delicious though; thank you for sharing!
I had a craving for Manhattan Clam Chowdah and your recipe came up in the search results. I made it today for dinner and it was a huge hit with both me and the guy. I've been asked to keep this one in rotation (which I most definitely intend to do). Thank you, Elise, for a great recipe and a wonderful site!
Made this soup today…..ready to start my own soup business. It was Awesome! Thanks for the recipe. My grandmother would be proud.
This recipe was easy and great. Added chopped parsley at the end too.
I made this chowder with fresh cherrystone clams minus the bacon yesterday for a lenten potluck. It was a huge hit. It went so fast some people who wanted to try it never got the chance. Our priest took a large helping and liked it so much he quickly came back for another equally large helping. It was the only thing he ate besides bread. It's definitely going into my collection of fasting recipes.
Thanks for nice Lenten recipe! I will make it this week.
Any good ways to use sardines? I need the nutrients. No red meat for me this Lent.
"Living here in California we don't have as easy (or cheap) access to quahogs or chowder clams". Not true. Up here in Northern California there are an abundance of tasty razor clams ripe for the digging. Can't get any cheaper than that.
Come to the Pacific Northwest if you want clams.
When I make my chowder, I like to include some chopped bell pepper (about 1/2 of a medium sized pepper, green or red) and a little dried oregano. The two really create a great depth of flavor.
I love your food-history lessons. Keep them coming. When I make an old recipe, such as this one, I like to think about what it was like when people were making a recipe long long ago. What kid of equipment they used…did they eat over candle light….can you tell, I'm a nostalgic type of person?
I just bought some frozen quohog chopped for chowdah! I sometimes make the creamy NE style but more frequently a Rhode Island style chowdah with tomato and chorico sausage and garden herbs (rosemay and thyme primarily)and lots of black pepper. The RI style seems to have more clam broth and less tomato than the Manhattan you are offering this morning.
It is definately influenced by the Portuguese immigrants who settled in the coastal area around Providence.
In RI chowdah is often accompanied by "clam cakes" which in RI…..are deep fat fried clam fritters (not the flat pan fried cakes served in Mass and Maine). They are such a local fav that Mc Donalds had them on their menu for awhile! Eat with lots of ketchup.

The state of politics in the run up to the upcoming parliamentary polls looks quite different from what prevailed in 2006 and 2013.
The first week of the 90-day timeframe from October 31 for holding the polls saw some positive signs like talks between the ruling and opposition parties and deferral of the election schedule by the Election Commission.
The EC had earlier decided to announce the schedule on November 4 but on that day deferred it to November 8. The announcement could be delayed further as hinted by a senior ruling AL leader.
The most significant thing is the absence of a violent street agitation by the opposition parties for mounting pressure on the government to meet their demands ahead of the polls.
But violent agitation was common before and in the first weeks of the 90-day countdown to polls in 2006 and 2013. And both sides remained rigid on their stances, diminishing efforts to resolve the crisis.
In 2006, the AL-led alliance vehemently opposed former chief justice KM Hassan, who was supposed to become the chief adviser, and then chief election commissioner Justice Aziz, who was embroiled in controversy over a flawed voter list.
Its archrival, the then ruling BNP, stood by Justice Hassan and Justice Aziz terming the opposition demand unconstitutional.
The 2006 crisis led to the 1/11 changeover and installation of a military-backed caretaker government in 2007. The AL-led grand alliance won a landslide in the 2008 election under that caretaker rule.
Later in 2011, the government abolished the caretaker system.
The BNP-led opposition alliance took a rigid stance in 2013 on its demand for election under a neutral and non-party administration and refused to join the polls with the AL in power.
The ruling party rejected the demand and the BNP along with some other parties boycotted the national polls in 2014.
This year, both the ruling and opposition parties seem willing to reach a solution to the political crisis as talks are being held over the demands of Jatiya Oikyafront, an alliance comprised of BNP and several other parties.
The demands include dissolution of parliament before the polls, restoration of a non-partisan polls-time government and release of Khaleda Zia, who is in jail since February 8 upon being sentenced in a graft case.
The Oikyafront will sit again tomorrow with the ruling alliance led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for a second round of talks to discuss some contentious issues over the national election.
After the first round of talks on November 1, which was held a day after the 90-day countdown to election began, the opposition alliance again wrote to the PM on Sunday expressing willingness to sit again.
On Sunday morning, Dr Kamal Hossain, on behalf of the Oikyafront, sent a letter to Hasina urging a second round of talks with her.
He wrote that a limited-scale discussion involving experts from both sides is necessary for analysing the constitutional and legal aspects of Oikyafront's demands.
The prime minister responded positively and agreed to sit with them tomorrow. Without delay, AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Sunday night disclosed the date for the second round of talks.
Now the Oikyafront leaders want to focus on its core demands like dissolution of parliament, the mode of the election-time government and release of Khaleda.
In consultation with legal experts, the alliance is preparing an outline for realising their demands without going beyond the constitution. At a meeting with the legal experts on Sunday night, they discussed the issue.
In tomorrow's discussion, the alliance may place a proposal for dissolution of parliament in line with article 123 (2) (b) of the constitution.
According to the article, if a parliament is dissolved before expiry of its tenure, the parliamentary election will be held within 90 days after such dissolution.
On the most contentious issue, the mode of election time government, the Oikyafront may make a dramatic shift from its current stance.
Instead of insisting on restoration of the non-partisan election-time government, it may offer the prime minister to downsize the current cabinet to 20 to 22 and include two leaders of the alliance in the cabinet as technocrat ministers, sources in the alliance said.
In the outline, the alliance may also propose limiting the jurisdiction of the election-time cabinet through amending the rules of business of the government.
The election-time cabinet will only carry out routine works and cannot take any policy decision, according to the draft proposal, added the sources.
Even if the government agrees with the Oikyafront's demand to recast the EC, it is possible without going beyond the constitution, said a legal expert who joined the meeting on Sunday night.
"Resignation of the chief election commissioner will pave the way for recasting the EC," he said.
Former law minister Moudud Ahmed, a member of BNP's standing committee, told The Daily Star yesterday, "We are reviewing several options to find out ways to form an election-time government within the current constitutional provision. We are preparing a draft in this regard. We will place it during our talks on Wednesday."
On Khaleda Zia's release, the Oikyafront may urge the government not to oppose her bail petition in court, allowing her to come out of the jail on bails, said sources in the Oikyafront.
AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, said that if Oikyafront's issues are logical and relevant, they will be resolved in constitutional way.
"There is no scope for solving anything going beyond the constitution," he said in a press briefing at his secretariat office.
About the progress of the dialogue, Quader said, "Absolutely, there's huge progress. The positive thing is that the prime minister is holding talks.
Hasina will brief the media about the outcomes of the ongoing dialogue with political parties either on November 8 or 9, said Quader.


Herb Garden | Tractor Supply Co.
Grow a variety of culinary herbs right outside your kitchen.
What Is a Kitchen Garden and Why Have One?
Here are five essential herbs that are easy to grow and can be used liberally in recipes to flavor or as garnish.
Basil is straightforward to grow and a staple of any garden. When started from seed, basil germinates in 5 to 7 days; it will grow to be 2 to 3 inches tall over the first 3 weeks. Plant basil in well-draining soil with temperatures between 60º and 70ºF. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 8 to 10 inches apart. Basil requires a lot of sun, so plant in an open area free of shade. Water heavily and regularly.
Harvest only the leaves of basil when the plant is young and the leaves and upper stems when the plant is mature. Pinch the stems to encourage growth, which will make the plant short and bushy. If flower buds appear, remove or the flavor of the plant will be affected. Harvested basil leaves and stems will stay fresh stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in a sealed container or plastic bag.
Use to flavor soups, stews, chicken, fish, and tomato dishes.
Rosemary is difficult to start from seed. The best option is to get a nursery plant, which will be stronger, healthier, and closer to being ready for harvest. Transplant the rosemary into well-draining soil. The soil should be around 70ºF for best growth. Water rosemary every 1 to 2 weeks, letting the topsoil become dry between each watering. Too much water will cause root rot.
Harvest nursery plants after 3 months. Take no more than one-third of the plant at one time. Clip the stems to encourage a bushy, short plant for easier maintenance. Rosemary will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week in a sealed container or plastic bag. To dry, hang sprigs of rosemary upside-down in bundles. Dried rosemary will retain its flavor for over a year if stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.
Use to flavor chicken, beef, fish, beans, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs, and dumplings.
Chives grow rapidly all season long and are easy to manage. They tend to spread by sending up runners (side plants). From seed, chives germinate in 7 to 21 days, with ideal soil temperatures ranging from 60 to 70ºF. Propagate by dividing in spring or fall, giving about 10 inches of space between each group. Chives like plenty of sun and water for high yields.
Harvest by cutting to 2 to 3 inches from the ground, multiple times throughout the season. Cut chives will stay fresh stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 7 days in a sealed container or plastic bag.
Use to flavor salads and vegetable stir fries and as garnish on potatoes. The flowers are also edible.
Mint is extremely prolific and easy to grow, naturally occurring in most areas of North America. To control growth outdoors, plant in a container with the bottom cut off. Set the plant in the ground deep enough to cover the top of the container. Mint likes sun with partial shade and regular watering.
Unlike with most herbs, for the best taste, wait to harvest until flowers have formed. Harvest up to 1/10 of the mint plant at any one time. Mint will stay fresh when stored in the refrigerator for up to a week in a sealed container or plastic bag.
Use to add flavor to salads and smoothies, on ice cream, and in iced tea. Mint leaves are also great by themselves straight off the plant.
Parsley is slow to germinate, so plant outdoors 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost (parsley plants can handle the cold weather). Plant each seed 1/4 inch deep and 8 to 10 inches apart; plant in rich, well-draining soil in a sunny location. Keep the soil moist by watering daily.
Begin harvesting parsley after the leaf stems develop three segments. Harvest leaves and stems from the outside of the plant first, leaving the inner new shoots to mature. Harvested parsley will stay fresh stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container or plastic bag.
Use to flavor salads, vegetables, tomato sauces, and pasta dishes.

Home Database Publication and reports Using Key Type Measures to report climate adaptation action in the EEA member countries
Using Key Type Measures to report climate adaptation action in the EEA member countries
Eight EU Member States (Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Portugal and Slovakia) reported in total 228 Key Type of Measures (KTMs) in 2021. Measures were reported under each of the five categories of KTMs and eleven categories of Sub-KTMs. KTMs reported thus far serve for inspiration and there is certainly a big diversity of adaptation actions and measures taken at the EU Member States level. This ETC/CCA report is about the use of KTMs to report on actions and (programmes of) measures for adaptation. The rationale, approach and added value were described in 2020 in an ETC/CCA report and in 2021 tested as a voluntary element in the national adaptation reporting under the Energy Union Governance Regulation. Only because an EU Member State did not report KTMs or a low number of KTMs does not mean that no or little work on adaptation is being performed. The governance of adaptation and a potential focus of mainstreaming of adaptation into different, e.g., sectoral policies can be a reason why fewer KTMs are reported at the national level. Moreover, for those countries who reported KTMs, the reporting result does not reflect the country's priorities. For any of them, it is a subset of all activities ongoing at the different governance levels, and for most of them, there are ambiguous methodologies to tag all measures that are adaptation-relevant. Because reporting requirements are continuously developing as adaptation policies evolve, the reported KTMs will also evolve over time and there might be a need for modifying the KTMs categorisation in future.

Q: How to get event from pulseaudio when lists of sinks or sources are changed? He.
The program should constantly check incoming sound from a Bluetooth microphone.
Bluetooth device can be connected/disconnected any time.
How to get event from Pulseaudio that list of sources changed?
I tried to use
pa_context_set_event_callback (pa_ctx, pa_context_event_cb, &mydata);
But no one calls pa_context_event_cb when BT headset is connected/disconnected.
What is the good practice for pulseaudio?

A: Ok. Figured it out.
1) Subscribe for context state changes:
    pa_context_set_state_callback(pa_ctx, pa_state_cb, &mydata);
2) In pa_state_cb:
void pa_state_cb(pa_context *c, void *userdata) {
    pa_context_state_t state;
    state = pa_context_get_state(c);
    switch  (state) {
            case PA_CONTEXT_READY: {
                     //set callback
                     pa_context_set_subscribe_callback(c, pa_context_subscribe_cb, &mydata);
                     //set events mask and enable event callback.
                     o = pa_context_subscribe(c, PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SINK|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SOURCE,
                     NULL, NULL);

                     if (o)
                     {
                       pa_operation_unref(o);
                     }

            }
                    break;
            case PA_CONTEXT_UNCONNECTED:
            case PA_CONTEXT_CONNECTING:
            case PA_CONTEXT_AUTHORIZING:
            case PA_CONTEXT_SETTING_NAME:
            case PA_CONTEXT_FAILED:
            case PA_CONTEXT_TERMINATED:
            default:
                    break;

}
3) Then handle mask event (pa_subscription_event_type_t) in the callback pa_context_subscribe_cb.

Ann Arbor officials debate building new Fuller Road train station vs. upgrading current Amtrak site
From AnnArbor.com:
The University of Michigan's decision to halt plans for a parking structure as part of Fuller Road Station leaves Ann Arborofficials contemplating the proposed transit center's future.
Some, including Council Member Mike Anglin and the Huron Valley Group of the Sierra Club, argue the city should shift its attention away from Fuller Road to the existing Amtrak train station on Depot Street and run more buses in and out of that site.
"Considering the train comes there only a few times a day, it's an easy place where buses can come and meet them and take the passengers where they need to go," Anglin said. "I think we have a site right now, and therefore why jump and make another site that's unnecessary?"
Mayor John Hieftje and other city officials argue a brand-new transit center, including accommodations for buses and trains, in front of the U-M medical complex along Fuller Road still makes sense. Hieftje said it's the perfect location considering 24,000 people a day already visit the U-M medical complex and Depot Street is not a major destination point.
"It can serve as a real gateway to the city of Ann Arbor," he said of the Fuller Road site. "The Depot Street station won't work for many reasons. Amtrak is going to outgrow it before long and it'll never work for commuter rail. You can't get buses in there to transport people."
Hieftje said the City Council will have a more intensive conversation about Fuller Road in the near future as it discusses accepting a $2.8 million federal grant for preliminary work on the project.
Anglin, D-5th Ward, stirred up the issue at Tuesday's council meeting when he suggested the city should drop its plans for building a transit center in Fuller Park.
"The high-speed rail, which has already been funded from Kalamazoo over toward Chicago, will ultimately come our way," Anglin acknowledged. "And as rails are improved, the fact that we have a train station, I think we ought to use that land for it."
Anglin said Amtrak's trains pass through Ann Arbor only a few times a day, and the Depot Street area is not as congested as some might suggest.
"It's much easier for buses to just be present when the trains come," he said. "There are a number of people on the trains, and buses going to different destinations makes a lot more sense to me. We can't keep spending as if every idea we have is fundable."
Pointing out a new train station would cost millions of dollars, Anglin said the city has greater needs in the police and fire departments, as well as in roads, trees and parks.
The local chapter of the Sierra Club has fought to stop the city from building on city parkland along Fuller Road. The group agrees with Anglin that a better location to achieve the city's vision for a multi-modal transit center is at the site of the existing Amtrak station.
"Now that the university parking garage portion of the plan has been dropped, we urge the city to take this opportunity to reconsider the potential for upgrading the current Amtrak station and environs," reads a statement released by the group. "This location is still relatively close to the hospital, is closer to downtown, is adjacent to the intersection of the north/south rail line, and is more suited to additional transit-related development."
But city officials contend they've looked into that option and — citing logistical challenges and traffic issues — Fuller Road is the better site.
Marc Magliari, a Chicago-based spokesman for Amtrak, said station location decisions are driven largely by the communities themselves, with Amtrak and the Michigan Department of Transportation working them and the railroad that owns the tracks.
"What is clear in the case of Ann Arbor is our passenger volumes have exceeded the size of the current station and its parking, particularly the difficulty passengers face when using the parking lot on the opposite side of the tracks from the station," Magliari said.
Council Member Sabra Briere, D-1st Ward, said at Tuesday's meeting she hopes Anglin will join her on a walk through the area around the current Amtrak site.
"Because there are some interesting issues related to infrastructure and the types of infrastructure improvements that would have to happen before we could have buses and cars going in large quantity into that site," she said.
The city is hoping Fuller Road Station can serve as a future gateway for tens of thousands of regular visitors to the city and accommodate the future growth in rail ridership as high-speed rail from Detroit to Chicago and commuter rail from Detroit to Ann Arbor become realities.
Briere said if increased passenger rail service through Ann Arbor happens, the city is going to need to address the logistics of where the station is today. She said the city has the choice of thinking about it now or pretending it's not a problem.
"There are so many people coming into North Main Street and turning onto Depot that it can back people up three lights," she said. "Depot floods, sometimes over a foot. If we have buses lined up there to pick up passengers from the rail station, it's going to negatively affect the residential nature of that neighborhood and it's going to slow down people even further."
Briere said she's supportive of a train station at Fuller Road, but she's happy to wait until there is an increased level of train usage and the tracks are improved, which could take two years.
"I have no idea when we'll get increased train traffic, but I do look at the logistics and I don't think Depot can bear a lot of increased passenger use," she said.
Council Member Tony Derezinski, who is contemplating a run for mayor in two years if Hieftje steps down, said he remains committed to the vision for a transit center on Fuller Road.
"I think it's definitely full steam ahead on the project," he said. "The most attractive part is it's being a railroad station and a center of intermodal transportation. It's going to be the main entrance to the community when mass transit really reaches its potential here."
Derezinski said the city must push ahead with Fuller Road Station and "take steps now to see the wonderful results down the line."
Council Member Jane Lumm, an Independent who represents the 2nd Ward, is asking the city's administration for a full accounting of all Fuller Road Station expenses to date. It's estimated the city has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on preliminary work for the project and it has undertaken a $1.34 million project to relocate utility lines at the site.
"The money has not been wasted at all," Eli Cooper, the city's transportation program manager, told AnnArbor.com in an email, adding his sense is the city will pick up from where it is now — less U-M's interest in a parking garage — and move Fuller Road Station forward.
Lumm thinks it would be helpful to "hit the pause button" and have a robust community conversation about the project. She said citizens are asking questions about the status of the next phases, and posing many thoughtful alternatives for consideration.
Anglin said the city should be involved in discussions about the future of rail in Ann Arbor, but not building a train station using city dollars. Instead, he said the city should cooperate with Amtrak and the Federal Railroad Administration to talk about the potential on Depot Street.
Now that DTE is cleaning up the old MichCon site off Broadway Street near the current Amtrak station, Anglin said, that's all the more reason to look at the area's potential.
"If we use the MichCon site, there would be no effect on park land. That would just be an eliminated discussion," he said. "No new construction costs would be related to it since the train is already there on that site. Future train expansion costs would only be incurred when a commuter service line would come in and funding was available."
