【中新社北京八日電】國家宗教事務局副局長蔣堅永今天在北京指出，迷你倉價錢面對較為複雜的局面，中國基督教要深入發掘闡釋聖經中的思想資源，運用到教會生活中，實現所有基督徒在愛國守法、正信正行基礎上的團結和聯合。結合教義處世蔣堅永在應邀出席中國基督教第九次代表會議時作上述表示。當天的講話中，他具體論述了“增進團結和聯合，是中國基督教健康發展的重要基礎”。蔣堅永指出，新中國建立後，中國基督教改變了教派林立、四分五裂的局面，在三自愛國基礎上實現了聯合禮拜，建立了具有中國特色的教會管理體制。隨著世情、國情、教情的變化，有的原教派活動重新活躍，未經批准的私設聚會點和各種教會組織形式大量出現，打著基督教旗號的各種邪說興風作浪，形成了較為複雜的局面。他建議中國基督教界：面對新情況新挑戰，要深入發掘闡釋聖經中關於“和平的福音”、“和好的道理”等思想資迷你倉，運用到教會生活中去，實現所有基督徒在愛國守法、正信正行基礎上的團結和聯合。他具體提出，要堅持和完善（基督教）全國兩會組織體制，照顧原教派的信仰和禮儀特點，滿足他們在活動場地、人才培養、人員安排等方面合理要求，做到相互尊重、和諧相處。對在私設聚會點參加活動的信徒，他指出，要主動接觸，宣傳中國共產黨和國家的宗教政策法律，關心他們的信仰生活，幫助解決實際困難，引導他們到合法堂點參加宗教活動。敦促抵禦邪說蔣堅永提出，中國基督教界要重視提高信徒的信仰素質，增強辨別能力，抵禦邪說的影響，對受到打著基督教旗號的邪教控制的群�，要協助政府做好教育轉化工作，擺脫邪教影響，過上正常人的生活。中國基督教代表會議是中國基督教最高權力機構，由各省、自治區、直轄市基督教三自愛國運動委員會和基督教協會（或教務委員會）共同推選代表組成，每五年舉行一次。儲存

As city sets 10-year housing target amid acute land shortage, minister says the possibility of developing park spaces should be discussedThe development minister has floated the idea of building flats on land in country parks, questioning whether such a controversial proposal was “untouchable and unmentionable”.迷你倉The remarks by Paul Chan Mo-po are a radical departure from Leung Chun-ying’s pledge when he was running for election as chief executive that country parks “should be protected from development as far as possible”, a vow he shared in an interview with the South China Morning Post almost two years ago.Laws stipulate that country parks are designated for the purposes of nature conservation, countryside recreation and outdoor education.Chan’s suggestion came after the committee devising a long-term housing strategy for Hong Kong last week unveiled a proposal to build 470,000 flats in the next 10 years, a target criticised as unattainable given the limited land supply.Chan wrote on his blog yesterday that society should discuss and explore the possibility of developing country parks – an idea he said had recently been raised in various seminars – as more land would be needed to reach the housing target.“During the exchange, someone mentioned that 70 per cent of Hong Kong’s land is country parks, [and] in face of a shortage of land supply and a big housing demand ... can they not be developed at all?“The development of country parks was seen as a restricted are文件倉, if not a taboo. Is it still completely untouchable and unmentionable today?” Chan asked.Criticising Chan’s remarks, environmental activist Roy Tam Hoi-pong, of campaign group Green Sense, said the government should instead review immigration schemes aimed at attracting mainlanders, otherwise an influx of hundreds of thousands of people in the coming decade would make housing demands unbearable.Meanwhile, the secretary for transport and housing, Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, said building more flats had to take priority over increasing their size, although housing capacity and quality were mentioned in the committee’s proposal.“If you can’t even increase the quantity, how do you increase [flat] areas?” Cheung said on TVB Jade’s On the Record.However, he hoped that the Housing Authority would consider building bigger public flats in more remote areas, conceding that Hong Kong fell behind some less developed countries in terms of living space per capita.Lau Ping-cheung, Leung’s housing adviser and a member of the committee, suggested vacant industrial buildings be turned into interim housing for people waiting for public flats.He said this could help house those affected by a scheme to license subdivided flats, which could see such substandard split rooms closed.Fellow committee member Fred Li Wah-ming said old public flats to be vacated for redevelopment should be converted into interim housing for the 230,000 applicants in the queue.Groups at loggerheads A3存倉

【本報訊】據國際在線八日消息：九月七日，存倉巴西各地舉行閱兵儀式，慶祝第一百九十一個獨立日。但是伴隨著閱兵式，巴西一些城市舉行的遊行示威活動還引起現場騷亂。抗議民不聊生當地時間七日上午九時，在里約熱內盧市中心，閱兵隊伍已整齊代發，但是壯觀的軍隊方陣並沒有成為媒體的焦點，在主幹道邊的一條小路上，一群身著黑色衣服的遊行隊伍備受關注。他們圍成一個正方形，每個人都穿著黑色衣服，戴著黑色口罩，有的還帶著防毒面具，一邊前進一邊喊著。記者在現場看到各種遊行示威的橫幅，有的寫著“他們不管我們”，“我們要和世界盃一樣標準的教育和醫療”。里卡多是遊行中的一員，他說：“政府做的只是我們訴求中的一角。我們訴求很多很多。比如，我們現下在市中心，這裡所有東西都是陳舊不堪的，很多建築的外牆脫落了，但是還沒有被修復。”十時左右，遊行隊伍走到了閱兵式的主席台前，有人試圖穿越障礙，幹預閱兵迷你倉式。隨即，現場一片混亂，警察也向人群發射了催淚彈和辣椒水。蔓延其他城市前來觀看閱兵儀式的民�大多數是全家出行，其中還有不少兒童，現場一度十分混亂。在警察和士兵的指引下，有些人得以安全離開現場。但是遊行示威隊伍並沒有馬上散開，使得閱兵儀式不得不中止。事實上，除了在里約熱內盧，巴西的其他城市，包括巴西利亞、聖保羅等，也在獨立日的閱兵儀式上發生了遊行示威。這些遊行活動之前已經向公�公佈，因此有不少城市為了避免混亂，取消了閱兵儀式。在巴西利亞，今年的閱兵慶典也縮短了一小時。據悉，今年大約有四十萬民�在約一百五個城市發起了示威遊行活動。從今年六月開始，巴西全國爆發了大規模遊行後，遊行示威活動就從未停止。而政府也努力試圖透過各種補救措施去換回民�的心。巴西總統羅塞夫在獨立日前曾在電視中發表講話，試圖挽回民心。但是一次又一次新的遊行示威無疑是在告訴政府，民�並不滿意。自存倉

拙作《價值論》一書能夠譯成英文出版，self storage是我和一些中外朋友多年的夙願。因為，此書原本就是一部與西方學界對話的學術著作。中國自古以來的哲學傳統，習慣于以“天、地、人”的關係為出發點，以構建種種關於社會、國家的倫理政治體系為目標來進行理論思考。作為這一傳統證據的是：歷來在各家學說中，最重要的概念和範疇，往往是諸如“道德”、“仁義”、“善惡”、“美丑”、“貴賤”、“吉凶”、“禍福”等等這類價值範疇，而不是歐洲哲學中最常見的“存在”、“實體”、“理性”、“經驗”、“知識”、“真理”等存在論和知識論範疇。也就是說，與歐洲哲學傳統相比，中國哲學更具有一種以價值哲學為主要線索的傳統。由這一傳統訓練出來的中國人的思維方式，往往更重視事情的“應然”方面，並為此而積累了做人做事的豐富智慧；相比而言，我們已往對事情的“實然”方面進行更加系統的追究和構建，則顯得少些。或許正是因為如此，中國傳統哲學的這些智慧，曾長期停留于規範思考的層面，而缺少某些元理論的自我批判和邏輯化的梳理，這導致了它在一向注重理性和邏輯的西方哲學面前，未能及時得到應有的理解和重視，甚至曾不被看作是一種“哲學”。如今，這種情況開始改變了。這不僅是因為，哲學上的價值問題已經開始得到普遍的重視，價值研究的哲學地位明顯上升了；還因為，隨著中國社會實踐的發展，中國哲學的思考和表達方式也發生了轉變。我們通過引進和吸收西方哲學的一些長處，已經能夠在新的理性批判和反思高度，整理和表達中國人自己的當代哲學。《價值論》正是力求表達一種基於中國文化傳統，並運用新的哲學方法所進行的思考。這種新的方法，簡單說就是以“關係思維”代替傳統的“實體思維”，將人的社會存在和人在實踐中的主體性權利與責任，當作理解價值現象和價值觀念的客觀依據，並力求通過對實踐和主體性的分析，來回答有關價值的各種問題。這一方法最初來自馬克思創立的“實踐的唯物主義”。由於種種原因，馬克思的實踐唯物主義至今還不能說已經得到了充分的理解、應用和檢驗，因此它還是一種全新的方法。本書思考的出發點，是盡可能立足于人類的實際生活本身，而非某種既有的、封閉的話語模式。在我看來，價值和價值關係，是與人的存在和實踐相聯繫的一種普遍性、根本性的現象，決不應該把它僅僅局限于道迷你倉或文化領域中的“意向”、“規範”等特定的狹隘範圍。從人在一切對象性活動領域中承擔的權利與責任入手，才更有助于充分理解價值和價值關係的現實性和複雜性。當然，由於本書以這種廣義的價值為研究對象，所以在分析論證時，勢必要涉及許多現實的領域。在每一領域中，既要自我論證，又要與別人對話和溝通，因此本書不得不說了很多看似重新解釋常識的東西。本書思考的一個落腳點，是與西方已經很有影響的觀點和結論進行對話。在與價值有關的話題上，本書選擇的對話目標和伙伴，主要是分析哲學中邏輯實證主義和實用主義這兩大學派。我認為，在如何理解和對待價值的問題上，這兩派代表了兩種各自都相當徹底、但卻彼此完全不同的思路。不容忽視的是，它們之間的分歧和爭論，使價值與真理各自的本質及其相互關係的思考，作為一個普遍性的哲學問題得到了充分的顯現，從而使價值論的研究具有了現時代的高度。事實上，正是羅素、杜威等人的許多分析和論證，成為我進一步思考的基礎和研究的起點。當然，我的觀點並不是簡單地認同和歸屬於其中某一方或其他現成結論，而是就它們之間的公共問題進行了自己獨立探索的嘗試。在長期以西方話語為母語的哲學圈子內，有中國人加入哲學前沿問題的討論，這件事本身也許就有一定的象徵意味。記得哈貝馬斯教授應邀于2001年4月16日至29日訪問中國期間，曾當面與我談了他的一點感受：據他的觀察和體驗，他認為在當代中國與西方之間的學術交流中，事實上存在著“嚴重的不平等”。這就是，西方學者對中國學界的瞭解，遠遠不如中國學者對西方學界的瞭解那樣多。他的話給了我很大鼓勵。也許正是這種相互瞭解和對話的願望，使這本《價值論》于1987年初版後不久，即受到來自德國、俄羅斯和日本等國幾位前輩學者的注意，他們曾先後表示要用本國的語言加以譯介。但當時以及後來的實際情況證明，這絕非是一件易事。除了翻譯中必然會遇到的語言對應性和其他技術性困難之外，當代中外學術界之間存在的文化情境和意識形態方面的差異，也使這類交流往往難以實現。本書以2007年修訂後由中國人民大學出版社出版的中文第二版為基礎，經作者做了一些必要的調整後譯出。希望本書英譯本的出版，能夠引來國際學界朋友們的批評和討論，以幫助我將研究更深入進行下去。（作者為中國政法大學教授）文件倉

Source: The Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa.迷你倉價錢Sept. 08--JOHNSTOWN -- Kathy Caron tried to get her young daughter to do "girly" things.Kasey Caron preferred wearing camo to camisoles. She wanted short hair, not long, flowing locks. And she didn't play with dolls; she had action figures."Her sister played Barbies and there is only a year and a half between them," Kathy Caron recalled at the family's home in the Belmont section of Johnstown. "I tried like hell to get her to play with her sister. So I bought her Basic Training Barbie. I thought she'd play with it. The first thing she did was pop the head off of it. Took the gun, took the dog tags off of it and played with the gun and the dog tags."That was one of the first clear indicators that Kasey wasn't like other little girls.'Not meant to be a girl'Kasey, now a 17-year-old Richland High School student who dresses as a boy and wants to be referred to as one, said that he never felt comfortable as a girl. And there had always been confusion from others about exactly what Kasey, who preferred to hang out with boys and play video games, was.Gender identity was already a problem in kindergarten. That's when Kasey's female classmates at Richland Elementary School got upset when they saw what looked like a boy in the girls' restroom."When I was in elementary school, I used to get asked all the time, 'Are you a boy or a girl?' " Kasey recalled, with more amusement in his voice than pain. "I got asked that all the time."At an early age, Kasey was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that causes a hormonal imbalance. The syndrome, which causes the ovaries to make more androgens -- sometimes called male hormones -- than normal, is quite common, with estimates that as many as one in 15 women suffers from it. The number of people who identify themselves as transgender is much lower -- a 2011 report by the Williams Institute of the UCLA School of Law showed 700,000 transgender individuals -- or about 0.3 percent of the population -- in the U.S., although precise numbers are hard to obtain.That means that while the syndrome could be a contributing factor to transgender issues, it isn't an overriding one, according to clinical psychologist Michael Hendricks of Washington, D.C."Nobody knows what causes somebody to be transgender,"?said Hendricks, who specializes in transgender issues. "While hormones may have some influence, we don't know exactly what causes somebody to be transgender, just like we don't know what causes somebody to not be transgender."Kasey comes from a diverse background. His mother has a same-sex partner in Cindy Theys and his godmother is transgender."When I first met Kasey 10 years ago, I thought she was a boy,"?Theys said. "She had an androgenous name. She was short, stocky. She looked like a little boy."Kasey didn't realize that he could physically change his body until later in his young life."I always knew I was not meant to be a girl,"?he said. "At some point, I came into contact with the Internet and TV and it became possible that I could actually do that.?I'm not going to sit here trapped in my own body. I'm going to do something about it."In order to try to regulate the polycystic ovary syndrome, doctors put Kasey on birth control at age 9. Eventually, Kasey began to question the treatment."Why am I doing this?"?he said. "I?would have to stay on estrogen therapy the rest of my life or go through with this transition (to become a male) and finish the process my body has already started."Finding his voiceKasey said that he was bullied throughout middle school and lacked self-confidence. Rather than speak with others at social gatherings, he would sit quietly in the corner, trying to not be noticed.Things got worse when Kasey disclosed an attraction to girls."The summer before eighth grade is when I came out as lesbian,"?Kasey said. "I told a few of my friends and it spread like wildfire. At first, it was really negative. I was bullied a lot. I went through depression terribly."Kasey did find an outlet in marching band. Originally a trumpeter, he played so quietly that he could barely be heard, but he did make some friends in the musical group.He also found a girlfriend and decided to tell his mother about his desire to change his sex. But Kasey was so shy that he let his girlfriend do most of the talking for him.His moms -- both of them -- made sure he understood the consequences of the choice, but tried to be receptive to it."We didn't discourage it,"?Kathy Caron said. "We've always been open to understanding it. We were in situations our whole lives where we weren't allowed to be who we were. We weren't going to do that to our children. Unfortunately, the times were different for us. It's not that time anymore."Gradually, Kasey grew more and more confident about his decision and revealed his desire to be a man to more and more people. But not everyone. When he first started dating Katie, who is from another Cambria County school, nine months ago, she knew that Kasey was more masculine than other girls, but not that he was transgender."He told me from the beginning that he dresses and acts like a guy, but it was probably like two months before he told me that he wanted to be a guy,"?said Katie, who went to her high school prom with Kasey in the spring. "It was startling, but I didn't really mind. The only thing I really minded was how afraid he was to tell me. I guess he was really scared."Katie, who asked that her last name not be used because her extended family does not know about her lifestyle, said that Kasey's self-confidence has blossomed since that first timid conversation about his gender identity."The whole thing with him telling me, he was really scared,"?she said. "Now he's putting it all over Facebook.?He's becoming very proud of who he is. It's giving him a lot more confidence."While Kasey once was afraid to toot his own horn loud enough to be heard in the marching band, he's now front and center as the drum major for the Rams."I didn't think I'd ever be anything more than the quiet little trumpet player in the corner,"?he said. "Now, I'm not the best player, but I play loud enough for people to hear me."Changing timesPlenty of people have heard Kasey, and not just through his drumsticks. His message of tolerance and acceptance has led to changes at Richland.He organizes the Day of Silence effort each year at Richland. The program has students across the nation declining to speak to call attention to the bullying and harassment that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students face.He also got the school handbook secti迷你倉n on bullying revised. Initially, the handbook outlined things for which students could not be bullied, such as race, religion, etc., but it did not cover sexual orientation or gender issues. Since then, Kasey said, it has been revised."It's very vague now, and that's fine,"?he said.Richland has made a big commitment to stamping out bullying over the past few years.Marissa Lydic, a freshman who met Kasey two years ago through marching band, said that the older student has helped her overcome bullying."They couldn't accept me because I was different. She's helped me stand up for what I?believe in,"?Marissa said. "She's there if anyone's bothering me. She's there to make sure I'm doing OK?and that it gets fixed the proper way."Marissa, like many others, struggles with pronouns when it comes to Kasey. Those who have known him for years -- especially his family members -- often refer to him as "she"?or "her," and Kasey understands that."I get that it's going to be just as much of a transition for everyone else as it is for me,"?he said.?"I don't get offended when people refer to me as a she."Hopes crushedWhile Hendricks said that there likely have been people with gender issues for years, it's only recently become more acceptable to talk about it. That means that schools and workplaces often are looking for solutions to problems that they had not previously faced. Issues like which locker room Kasey should use prior to gym class.Rather than put him in with the girls or the boys, Richland agreed to let him use the room where officials change before sporting events. That solved the locker room problem and the school also allowed him to use the restroom facilties in the room instead of choosing a public, shared restroom. But that was a less-than-ideal solution, as he had to go to the office to get a key to the room, walk to the locker room, use the facilities, walk back to the office and then return to class, which often was on the other side of the building. That meant that going to the restroom in the four minutes students have between classes was impossible. And leaving class also wasn't a good option."My teachers started to get a little suspicious as to why I?was gone for 10 minutes,"?Kasey said.This year, he's relented."I use the girls' restroom, just because I'd probably get in trouble if I?used the guys' restroom,"?he said. "I've been going to Richland my whole life, so if I go to the girls' restroom, nobody will get offended. I understand it's not in my best interest as far as giving off the right vibe, but it's a little bit more convenient."Another issue arose on the second day of school this year. Kasey was asked if he wanted to appear on the ballot for homecoming king or queen. He chose the male ballot and, thinking that he had finally realized his dream of being recognized as male, Kasey posted on Facebook asking anyone who supported him to vote for him."He was so excited,"?his girlfriend said. "Not only just because people were accepting him, but he knew he had a good chance of being king, because of all the support he was getting. He was so happy."The joy only lasted a few days. The day the voting was to be held, Kasey was told that he couldn't be on the male ballot because he was listed as a female on his driver's license. Even though the school had recognized his desire to be treated as a boy, administrators said, state law prohibited them from putting him on the ballot for boys.The last-minute change didn't prevent Kasey from getting the number of votes needed to be on the court, even though he was listed as a girl.School administrators were unsure what to do with him, as it would be awkward for both Kasey and his escort to be accompanied by a male student. School administrators said that he could attend -- but on the girls' side.Despite having the support of his classmates, he wouldn't be able to get the recognition he so desperately wanted.Kasey was crushed."He cried a lot,"?Katie said.?"He was really upset. It was like they gave him what he really wanted to be and then they backtracked on it. "Kasey and his family decided to appeal the decision to the school board. They have taken his story to the media and drawn support from around the world. Kasey has been asked to be a guest speaker at Clarion University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The American Civil Liberties Union has pledged its support, and Kasey is expected to have a strong backing at Monday night's school board meeting, where Kasey's allies are being encouraged to wear blue.Determined to helpKasey has not yet started hormone treatments to begin the transition process, but he plans to begin as soon as his therapy requirements have been met. He is an honor student and is looking forward to college. In addition to his girlfriend, he has added a number of friends -- both male and female -- and seems quite well-adjusted. He's become a bit of a mini-celebrity, even before the story surrounding homecoming surfaced."He always hid in the background,"?said MacKenzie, his 16-year-old sister. "Now, everybody knows Kasey, not just people in her class. People all over town know who Kasey is. He uses that as an empowering experience. He has really opened people's eyes and helped to educate people."Stephanie Theys, Kasey's 23-year-old stepsister, is amazed at what Kasey has become."I generally hope that someday I have a kid that is as awesome as he is," she said.Kasey hopes that he can pave the way for other transgender students that follow him."I'm not going to be the only one,"?he said. "People are becoming more comfortable, society is becoming more comfortable with it. It's going to be a more acceptable thing. If they don't deal with it now, five or 10 years from now, someone else is going to come along and they're going to need to deal with it. They have to deal with it eventually."And Kasey hopes to continue helping people deal with it after his transformation, both from female to male and from high school to college and, eventually, professional."I was thinking about going to college to be a therapist or somebody that's going to help somebody like me,"?Kasey said."That or art or music therapy, because I'm a huge nerd about art and music. Honestly, what I?want to do with my life is strictly based on helping people. I haven't figured out the exact details yet."Eric Knopsnyder is the editor of The Tribune-Democrat.

Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.迷你倉 08--After having two full days to watch and digest film of Pitt's season-opening loss to Florida State, Panthers coach Paul Chryst readily admitted that his team has some work to do on defense.The numbers tell all you really need to know. Pitt gave up 533 total yards to the Seminoles and forced first-time starting quarterback Jameis Winston into just two incomplete passes. Florida State was 7 of 11 on third-down conversions and held the ball for 35 minutes, 8 seconds to Pitt's 24:52.Still, when Chryst and his staff delved into the film, they didn't see a team outclassed by its opponent, but one making sloppy mistakes in the first game of the season."Certainly, we didn't play as well as we wanted to play defensively against Florida State," Chryst said. "But we're not flinching either."I know the areas that we can get better at. Our coaches know that, our players know that and I believe if we correct those things, we will be better. All those things, we're not asking anybody to do anything that is out of their skill set."Pitt's secondary may be its most experienced unit, with returning starters Lafayette Pitts, K'Waun Williams and Jason Hendricks, but the Panthers also had five players -- including freshmen Titus Howard and Terrish Webb -- make their debuts in the defensive backfield Monday night.Defensive coordinator Matt House, promoted from secondary coach in the offseason, said he liked what he saw out of the newcomers."The freshmen that played in the secondary aren't the reason that we didn't play well on defense," he said. "They may not have played the perfect game, but we had a lot of people that [didn't]."Pitt cornerback K'Waun Williams said the defense breakdowns were caused by missed assignments and execution, rather than any flaw in the scheme.House also downplayed the notion that the Panthers' coverage against Florida State's receivers was too soft."I know that's an easy blanket statement to make, but it's not necessarily the situation that was happening on the field," he said.Often against the Seminoles, the Pitt defense relied on linebackers in pass c文件倉verage, and that unit also struggled to make life difficult for the Florida State receivers.One player who could impact that position group, Todd Thomas, saw limited playing time Monday night.He played most in situational packages and recorded only one tackle.Thomas is a unique athletic talent but appears to still be working his way back into the coaches' good graces after quitting the team for a week early in training camp."He's just like anybody else," House said. "He's got to earn the right."While the back end of Pitt's defense struggled to keep tabs on the Seminole receivers, the front didn't do much to make life difficult in the pocket for Winston. Pitt managed just two sacks on the night and often took players out of pass coverage with blitzes that House admitted were not effective."Truthfully, when we blitzed, we didn't land our blitzes," House said. "We had some mis-executions in the coverage when we blitzed. When we rushed four, I did think that that was the one encouraging thing that there were some times where we applied pressure with just a four-man rush."House also admitted that he can do better with his play calls, specifically pointing to a 3rd-and-17 in the second quarter that Florida State converted en route to a touchdown. The score was just 14-10 at the time, but Winston found receiver Rashad Greene on a seam route over the middle, and Pitt safety Ray Vinopal couldn't quite get there in time to blow the play up."Third-and-17, I could make a better call and we've got to execute a little bit better," House said.Williams said he's aware of the perception of the Panther defense after one game and is eager to show that the unit is closer to the one that finished 17th in the country last season, not the one that sparked Winston's Heisman Trophy campaign Monday night."That put a little chip on our shoulders to pick it up," Williams said. "We've got to step up and make plays."Sam Werner: swerner@post-gazette.com and Twitter @SWernerPG.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Visit the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at .post-gazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉

I needed four days last week to do it.One of them started as the sun came up and the maintenance crew came out at Eagle Point. It resumed in the afternoon heat at Stone Ridge, completing Day 3.The first day, Monday, I used my practice round in the Southern Oregon Golf Championships to get three holes in at Rogue Valley Country Club on the Rogue, or outside, course. Three days later, in my first match, I was on the nine-hole Oaks Course and got in the final hole necessary at RVCC, No. 3.In between, it was another early morning start at Centennial, playing three holes before a tournament began.I was mostly by myself.A doe joined me for two holes at Eagle Point. It struck me that she was far less judgmental about my game than my usual playing partners.At Stone Ridge, there were squirrels galore.At Centennial, I waited as a member of the course maintenance crew swept dew from the 15th green, then finished off a bogey.Those who voted on the holes for our fantasy course were big on character, and once I got out there, I could appreciate it, from the water I had to hit over or avoid, to an elevated tee that momentarily took my breath, to holes that turned left when I generally want to fade it right.One thing I noticed. There's not an easy par 3 in the bunch. I double-bogeyed two of them and bogeyed the other two on the par-72 layout.I shot 82. That is an adjusted number, and you'll see why momentarily. With a slope rating at our course of 135, thanks to the Oregon Golf Association, my handicap was 9, giving me a net 73 score.Here are some highlights and lowlights of the round.Hole No. 5(Stone Ridge No. 3)This might be the strangest hole I've played. Ever. That it happened on this venture is kind of freaky.It's a par 5, with water up the left side. A good drive puts you in position to go for the green in two. I did not hit a good drive into the wind, then I faded my second shot barely into a hazard on the right.My ball nestled into some matted hay, pin high to the flag but 100 yards away. I'd have to dig it out with a wedge and just hope to advance it. I swung down hard and saw a ball fly toward the green. To my astonishment, I saw another ball squirt straight out in the same direction, about 10 or 15 yards.Mine went furthest, ending up 25 yards from the green. I skulled a chip shot that ended up a foot from the hole and made par.The other ball was a Titleist 8. It had been in there awhile.I didn't know the rule. Did I hit the wrong ball? If not a wrong-ball penalty, should I have been penalized for practicing because I hit another ball while playing a hole?I was prepared to make up my own local rule but, out of curiosity, I called former Rogue Valley Country Club pro Jim Wise, a rules guru. His quick research found a ruling -- actually a decision -- that absolved me of wrongdoing. Decision 15/2 overrides Rule 15-3 about hitting a wrong ball because I played the stroke with 迷你倉y ball, not the hidden one.No need to adjust the score.Hole No. 10(Eagle Point No. 10)If the previous hole didn't account for an adjusted score, this one surely did. It's a short par 4 with trees up the left and a wide hitting area that narrows considerably. I started on the back nine first thing in the morning because workers were on the first couple holes.It was chilly enough that I wore a pullover for the first time in months. I had no practice swings. I took out a small-headed fairway wood, a means to course management. But I managed to almost miss the ball on my first swing, sending it screaming into a pond just right of the tee box.I made an executive decision and termed it a "breakfast ball," which is the same thing as a mulligan. I never take those, but this was a special case. It was a special case, too, when I did the exact same thing with my second swing.You guessed it. I was so full of breakfast balls I could skip lunch.When I finally got one in play, I bogeyed the hole.Purists will chide me, and rightly so.Hole No. 11(Centennial No. 3)This is a tough one, the No. 1 handicap hole at Centennial. It's uphill, long and is lined with fairway bunkers. My drive went farther right than Rush Limbaugh. Over a cart path and into rough behind the No. 6 green.I had 210 yards in and hit 4-wood to just short of the green. My chip was short, but my 15-foot par putt was right at the cup. It needed to be 15 feet, one-quarter inch, however. A bogey 5.Hole No. 13(Eagle Point No. 6)A split fairway -- a creek divides the hole -- gives you options. My option was, I aimed for the left fairway and wound up in the right, 230 yards away on the par 4. This, too, is a No. 1 handicap hole.I hit a decent 3-wood right at the green, but a ridge in front of it sent it bounding into a greenside bunker, pin high.Two members of the maintenance staff were behind the green, watching as I approached."What kind of bounce was that," I asked."That was an Eagle Point bounce," said one.As I dug into the sand for my bunker play with a 60-degree wedge, I thought about warning them to move. Instead, I babied a little shot to 2 inches of the cup, making par.One of the men was Dave Stephens, course superintendent. I told him, from the gold tees, his layout is all that an average player would want.Kindly, he said I wasn't average on that hole. I almost hugged him.Hole No. 16(RVCC Rogue No. 16)I have to throw in this one because it was my best birdie hole. It was also my only birdie hole.The short par 5 gives one a chance to go for the green in two. It's a risk-reward thing. I risked it, and fortunately was rewarded by a big pine tree on the left knocking my ball down before it entered a greenside pond. It led to a chip and a 20-foot birdie putt that rattled into the cup.While I think my cut shot with a hybrid would have carved perfectly toward the green had the tree not gotten in the way, my SOGC practice-round partners thought I was luckier than a Powerball winner.This is why I deemed the deer such a pleasant companion.There were plenty of other shots along the way, some good, some bad.But, lest you feel the need to rent a cart, I'll stop here.Suffice to say, it was a very different and very enjoyable round of golf.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Mail Tribune (Medford, Ore.)

Source: Ventura County Star, Calif.文件倉Sept. 07--Part of me wants to blame the sudden rash of Ventura County restaurant closures on the wilting effects of back-to-back days of soaring temperatures. But it's not the heat: It's the economy, with a chance of changing business models and real estate transactions on the horizon.Witness the sudden closing of Blu Orkid in downtown Ventura. On Tuesday, owner David Lacy received word that the building that is home to his combination pastry shop, restaurant and night club had gone into escrow. By Wednesday afternoon, Lacy and the restaurant's staff had boxed up the glassware and were selling everything from the kitchen stove to the massive potted plants in the dining room.Deciding to close was both easy and painful, Lacy said. Easy: avoiding the possibility of an exponential rent increase. Painful: knowing that baker Sarah Aebersold -- universally praised for the Meyer lemon pinwheels and other pastries that came out of the on-site bakery at the back of the building -- is just one of many valued employees who suddenly do not have jobs, he said.After renovating what had been a Goodwill store, Lacy opened the business as My Florist Winecafe & Bakery in 2007. The moniker echoed that of his first cafe, then still in operation in Phoenix and named for the landmark "My Florist" neon sign atop its building. Lacy closed the Phoenix location in 2010; nearly two years later, he changed the name of the Ventura site to Blu Orkid as a nod to Vada Schwartz, who founded the original My Florist as an actual flower shop in the 1940s.Known for its skylights, its white sofas and its giant, Art Deco-style statue of a sleek, silver man nicknamed Flash, the restaurant offered eggs baked in puff pastry, $2 mimosas till 2 p.m. daily, and on one particularly memorable night in 2008, a cabaret act by "The Outlaw" star Jane Russell. Dressed in black slacks and a sparkly gold shawl, Russell sang "Our Love is Here to Stay," among other tunes, and received an arm load of artisanal breads instead of flowers after the show."There are three food groups in restaurants: sugar, alcohol and grease. We had the sugar and the alcohol, but I didn't want to do deep-fried food," said Lacy, now a Realtor with Prudential California Realty in Montecito.The sale of dishware, furnishings and other things left behind when a restaurant closes will continue until the stuff is gone, Lacy said. But fans of Flash, take note: The statue was the first thing to go. Lacy doesn't know who bought Flash, or what the future holds for him. But anyone planning to display Flash at a restaurant might want to reconsider."We had customers who said they would not eat in the dining room with him there. We had requests to cover him, to put pants on him. That's why he was moved out to the patio," Lacy said. "Then again, when he was inside, we had to wipe lipstick off his (posterior) almost every night, so some people obviously liked him." (76 S. Oak St.).Also gone is Hollywood Beach Wine Company at Marine Emporium Landing in Oxnard's Channel Islands Harbor.The combination wine bar and restaurant had a series of private events in July 2012 and marked its grand opening in November. It closed sometime over the Labor Day weekend, when a "notice to pay rent or quit" claiming unpaid rent from December through August was taped to the door at 3500 S. Harbor Blvd.On Tuesday, the restaurant's Facebook page was updated with posts thanking patrons for their support and seeking job leads for the "talented and hardworking crew." In a separate message to me, owner Lois Ivanoff said she felt she could "hear the needs of the community and I was honored to try and fill them."When Marine Emporium Landing management launched a third-Wednesday-of-the-month food truck event called Wet Wednesdays in May, Ivanoff offered attendees seats on the restaurant's waterside patio with the purchase of a beverage. As spring turned to summer, she updated the menus with lunch and dinner dishes created by consulting chef Tim Kilcoyne, formerly of The SideCar Restaurant and now operating the Scratch food truck.Owning the restaurant "was fun and a lifetime dream of mine," said Ivanoff. "I got to work with several great chefs and I learned a lot. I met many fine people, some who will be lifetime friends."Nearly a year and a half after introducing area diners to "Jersey rippers" and hot dogs named for muscle cars, Garage Dogs appears to have sped away from its location at 2626 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd. in Thousand Oaks A reader contacted me after finding a "closed" sign on the door that also included wording about a hoped-for relocation. As of this writing, the Garage Dogs phone number is disconnected, its Facebook page has gone missing and its address and phone number have been deleted from its Yelp page. An inquiry sent to the Garage Dogs email add存倉ess wasn't returned by the Cafe Society deadline.Other recent closings have been followed almost immediately by openings.On Tuesday, Nina Burr, chef and owner of Good Habit in Thousand Oaks, announced via Facebook and the business' website that she was closing the cafe after a three-year run to focus instead on expanding her line of gluten-free foods for wholesale and online sales (.goodhabit.com).Left unsaid was that another business, Gluten Free Yourself, was taking its place. Launched in October by Lisa Tognazzini as a delivery-based operation, Gluten Free Yourself previously sold its cupcakes and other treats at Good Habit and during local-merchant events at Whole Foods Market in Thousand Oaks. Opening-week menus at the "new" on-site bakery and cafe have included garlic-rosemary baguettes, veggie subs and turkey chili. (A word to the wise: when looking for Gluten Free Yourself on Facebook, add "Thousand Oaks" to the search lest you end up on the page for an identically named business in Baltimore. Hours are from 8 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays (1625 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., 494-4922).Similarly, the demise of the short-lived Village Burgers at Camelot Plaza in Thousand Oaks was followed last weekend by the debut of the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant (2416-2418 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd., 379-8858).And no sooner did El Pollo Loco close in the Oak Park Shopping Center at Kanan and Lindero Canyon roads than construction began to turn the space -- which includes a drive-thru window -- into a Starbucks. The neighborhood already includes a Starbucks (706 Lindero Canyon Road, 818-865-2184) and the independently owned Beanscene Espresso, which also serves pastries and panini sandwiches (610 Lindero Canyon Road, 818-991-0919).OPENING ACTS: As Ventura County's newest brewery, Institution Ale Company opened its Camarillo industrial park doors to the public at 4 p.m. Wednesday. A mere three minutes later, all the seats at the tasting-room counter were filled and the line of beerheads waiting to order tasters, pints and growlers before grabbing the remaining tables stretched to the door. Six brews were on the opening-day "menu," including a maple-aged brown ale called Restraint and a jalapeno-spiked Institution IPA on cask. Tasting room hours are 4-10 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 1-10 p.m. Fridays, noon to 10 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays (438 Calle San Pablo, Unit I, 482-3777).The number of Panera Bread sites in the region jumped to six with the opening late last month of a new location at what used to be IG Boarding Shop in Westlake Village. Following its ribbon-cutting this week, the Panera operated by franchisee Risen Bread, LLC will unveil several new menu items on Wednesday. Cash donations made to its Community Breadbox will be directed to FOOD Share of Ventura County (5784 Lindero Canyon Road, 818-991-3100).ONWARD IN OJAI: When AJ Chinese Cuisine opened in early August at what had been Golden Moon Chinese Restaurant, it was still waiting for its alcohol license. Now that said license is in place (and that local labels Ojai Vineyard, Ojai Ridge and Casa Barranca are on the wine list), a grand opening celebration is in the works.From 11:30 a.m. Thursday, diners at the restaurant owned by Alice Ramsay and Jessica Oestreich -- both originally from mainland China and now living in Ojai -- will be treated to free wine with their meals. The menu features dishes from different regions of China, created by two chefs who received their training there, said Oestreich. One specializes in seafood while the other, formerly of Hong Kong, specializes in spicy fare, she added. After the grand opening, look for monthly specials designed to highlight locally grown, seasonal ingredients (842 E. Ojai Ave., 640-0201).Even the smallest of flare-ups can cause a restaurant to close for repairs. Not so Osteria Monte Grappa, where a beam inside a wall near the stove caught fire shortly after the start of lunch service on Aug. 10 at its location in the historic Arcade facing Ojai Avenue. A mere four hours later, owners Stefano and Tammy Bernardi and the staff had succeeded in moving the restaurant -- lock, stock and wine bottles -- back to the smaller Signal Street space from whence it came a year ago.OMG, as locals refer to the restaurant, will stay on Signal Street for a month or two while repairs are made to the Ojai Avenue site."We're taking the opportunity to change some things, like moving the bar up front and getting a full liquor license," said Tammy Bernardi. OMG's menu specializing in "farm-to-table, northern Italian cuisine" is available for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. daily (205 N. Signal St., 646-5435).Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Ventura County Star (Camarillo, Calif.) Visit Ventura County Star (Camarillo, Calif.) at .vcstar.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
