When the snow melts to slush, then mud,
then dirt, snowboarders turn to alternative means to satisfy their adrenaline craving.
Some surf. Some skateboard. Some chill.
Others opt for a relatively new action-sports escape – mountainboarding.
Think snowboarding/skateboarding hybrid. Like snowboards, mountainboards are made of a fiberglass composite. They're smaller than snowboards but about 1½ times longer than a skateboard. Like snowboarders, mountainboarders' feet are strapped in with bindings.
With bulky, rubber wheels, riders zip down hills, flying off mounds, berms and bumps, executing backflips, 720s, even the occasional 900 (2½ revolutions).
In the action-sports realm, where athletes constantly push boundaries, Poway's Chris Farmer describes one of mountainboarding's draws: "It's something different."
About soaring 30 feet in the air, staring at the world upside down when pulling off a backflip, Farmer, one of the sport's top pros, says, "You feel like you're flying."
Farmer, 21, caught an action-sports expo at the Del Mar Fairgrounds eight years ago, watched snowboarding phenom Shaun White shredding moves on a mountainboard, grabbed a catalogue, ordered one and started riding.
By 16, he joined skateboarders and BMX cyclists, touring the country by bus with rock bands for summer tours.
Among the musical artists he's hung with: Green Day, NOFX, Bad Religion, Moby, David Bowie and Blue Man Group.
"It was just weird," Farmer said of the attention on tour. "I don't think of myself as any sort of rock star, but there would always be girls lined up outside our bus."
At contests, mountainboarding is divided into two disciplines: boardercross (the same as snowboarding where four riders race down a tight course laden with bumps and mounds) and freestyle. Farmer excels in freestyle.
About once a month Farmer treks north to Perris to practice tricks with the protection of a large foam mat. In San Diego County he rides wherever open land offers the proper terrain, a friend's acreage in Valley Center being his favorite haunt.
Because mountainboarding is a small niche sport and kids aren't dragging their parents to board shops, filling the garage with another toy, there's little money in the sport professionally.
Skateboarding star Bucky Lasek pocketed $50,000 last year for winning X Games gold in the vert. New Hampshire's Jereme Leafe earned $1,000 for winning the 2004 U.S. Open Mountainboarding Championships.
Lasek owns a 4,100-square-foot home in Olivenhain. Farmer repairs snowboards and skis at Sports Chalet to pay the rent.
Not that Farmer's complaining. How many 16-year-olds have earned $250 a day for flying off dirt ramps while hopscotching across the country on the Warp Tour?
"With mountainboarding being so new (contests started about 10 years ago), I'm kind a pioneer," Farmer says. "I plan on doing it as long as I can, as long as I'm still in one piece."
Mountainboarders do share one similarity with their action-sports brethren: the risk of bodily harm. Chris Mancuso suffered a spinal cord injury attempting a 25-foot backflip last year. While he's now walking, Mancuso's not expected to compete this year or ever attempt inverted tricks.
Farmer's medical file includes three concussions and a broken foot. He wears gloves, knee and elbow pads, a helmet, plus one other protective device he grudgingly added – a butt pad.
"At first I was all against them," Farmer says. "They were uncomfortable, weird and funky. Most riders wore 'em and I said, 'I don't need those.' Then I came down on my butt so hard it hurt for days.
"I decided I needed 'em."

After 63 years its finally time for Land Rover to replace the Defender. Land Rover is committed to replacing the Defender by 2015. To gauge public opinion on where the automaker should take the next Defender, Land Rover is unveiling the DC100 concept in Frankfurt.
The DC100 concept isn’t going to debut until next month, but in the meantime Land Rover has released this preview.
Gerry McGovern, Director of Design, Land Rover stated, “Replacing the iconic Defender is one of the biggest challenges in the automotive design world; it is a car that inspires people worldwide. This isn’t a production-ready concept but the beginning of a four-year journey to design a relevant Defender for the 21st century.”
John Edwards, Global Brand Director, Land Rover added: “Loved the world over for its simple, honest and distinctive design, we are determined that the new Defender will be true to its heritage, while meeting the requirements of a changing global market.

The Towne Storage building near the Burnside Bridgehead will be sold, the manager confirmed.
(Courtesy of Towne Storage)
The Towne Storage building at the east side of the Burnside Bridge will be sold, leaving the approximately 500 artists, photographers and others who rent space there scrambling for a place to go, manager Debbie Kool confirmed Monday.
Those who lease storage units must be out by the end of the month, Kool said. People who rent art studios have until the end of October.
Kool, who has worked there 16 years, did not know anything about the buyer other than that it is a group based in Southern California. Nancy Frisch, one of the building's co-owners, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the sale but did say she is looking for new space the artists might go.
The 79,000-square-foot Towne Storage building, at 17 S.E. Third Ave., was built in 1916 and commands a market value of nearly $4 million, according to Portland Maps. But the true market value is likely much higher. The five-story building sold for $4.2 million in 2004, CoStar reported at the time.
Studio space at Towne Storage rents between $1 and $1.25 per square foot, Kool said, well below market rates that can reach $2 or $3 per square foot. Tenants are worried about finding similarly affordable space, she said.
"The rates, just like apartments, have almost quadrupled in the last year," Kool said. "In the last two years, it has just been crazy. ... Real artists can't afford that."
Towne Storage is located in the heart of the Central Eastside, a neighborhood undergoing a significant amount of development, including the nearby construction of new towers at the Burnside Bridgehead.

It began as a way to earn some extra cash while on maternity leave, now Christiana Beaudin’s jewellery company Newborn Feathers boasts numerous employees and a brand new retail location.
Starting out by selling her creations at craft fairs and through buy-and-sell pages, it didn’t take long for demand for her jewellery to grow, leading to the launch of her website and the realization that creating these treasures could lead to a successful and fulfilling career — for both her and her husband.

“My husband wanted to quit his job probably for about three months before I let him,” Beaudin said laughing. “I was so scared it was just a fleeting fancy people had and all of a sudden the sales would dry up.”
But the handmade jewellery proved to be very popular, especially the shop’s signature geode earrings made to look like the mineral from which they draw their name.
Created using resin, these geode earrings are not only light but also waterproof — so buyers needn’t worry about forgetting to take them off before heading into the pool.

It was a good ride today. There was not much in the way of mud for once. I did not push as I am trying to keep my knee in check.
Well, I did ride today and it felt good. I was doing a good work out as I kept breathing hard and I loved how it feels. I am someone that loves riding and having fun on my bike.
I have chosen to rest my legs form cycling and do some landscapes shoots.
this was on a muddy day and I loved to go through some smaller puddles and mud pools as there. I did love cycling today and I am feeling great about it.
I have shown a downward hill part of the ride at its steepest. I did love the ride just forgot to start the Garmin at the start of the ride.

Artist of the Week: Sonya Yoncheva One Step Closer to ‘Diva Assoluta’ with ‘Eugene Onegin’By Francisco Salazar
It’s not easy to become an overnight success in the opera world, much less a superstar. However, Sonya Yoncheva is already being called the successor to the great divas of both the past and present.
Over the past year Yoncheva has expanded her repertoire immensely and this week she adds the role of Tatiana in Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The soprano, who also performs the role at the Paris Opera, sings her second Tchaikovsky role after delighting audiences at the Paris Opera in the title role of “Iolanta.”
Acclaimed for her intense singing, the Bulgarian soprano’s assumption of the role brings her one step closer to the “Diva Assoluta” territory.
Winner of the prestigious Operalia award and a recent winner of the Echo Klassik award, the soprano first gained recognition when she stepped in for Netrebko in the Baden Baden, the Royal Opera and Vienna State Opera’ productions of Gounod’s “Faust.” She later garnered even more recognition when she stepped in for Kristine Opolais in the role of Mimi in Puccini’s “La Boheme” at the Metropolitan Opera. From there it has been a non-stop whirlwind of high profile engagements.
Yoncheva opened the Met’s 2015-16 season in the role of Desdemona in Verdi’s “Otello” and was the standout of the night obtaining rave reviews and standing ovations from the audience. The performances were later recorded as part of the company’s Live in HD series. The performance was subsequently released by her record label Sony Classical.
Other recent high profile engagements have included opening night at Royal Opera House in the towering role of Bellini’s “Norma” and Antonia in Offenbach’s “Les Contes d’Hoffman.” Both interpretations were brought to movie theaters in the Royal Opera’s HD series.
She also sang the Countess in Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro” in Baden Baden. The performances were also recorded on CD and the album was nominated for the Grammy. She recently sang sold out performances in the title role of Mascagni’s “Iris.”
Yoncheva is also becoming a favorite recording artist with Sony Classical as she released a critically acclaimed first album “Paris, Mon Amour” and later released Pergolesi’s “Stabat Mater.” Her upcoming CD “Handel” is one of the most anticipated of 2017 and she also has a Christmas album scheduled for December.
With an impeccable technique and a melting voice, Yoncheva’s Tatiana will likely be one biggest highlights this season.

The G.I. Joe figures were the absolute originally set of activity figures, delivered by Hasbro way back in 1964. This was before long followed by dolls of characters from comic books and Star Wars Activity figures keep on being famous to the point that these days each film, TV series, and comic book has activity figures of its characters. With such countless various puppets about, it is hard to tell what is collectible. In this article, I will examine the three principal factors that make a specific puppet more valued and loved than others.
Activity figure collectibles are an enthusiasm. What makes a doll collectible and engaging is exactly the same thing that caused youngsters across the world to argue and ask Satisfy mama. Let Santa know if he does not get me Hans Solo I will bite my toes off. It is exactly the same thing that would then make guardians line in the freezing cold to purchase Hans in the desire for keeping their kid calm for five minutes. While many individuals gather activity figures as a venture, generally it is about sentimentality and recovering your experience growing up. It is the tomfoolery and energy of playing with activity figures for quite a long time in your room.
Numerous one of a kind activity figures are intriguing in light of the fact that no one idea they could at any point merit anything. In the event that their arms and legs were not pulled off, they most likely were tossed into the waste all things being equal. With new puppets, so many are delivered that organizations presently make pursue activity figures, which resemble the standard figures however marginally unique, with various shaded garments, for instance. A set number are made so they are interesting to gatherers. There are even variation activity figures, that are different unexpectedly, for example, a white Darth Vader, which can likewise be intriguing and pursued by gatherers.
Authorities can be unimaginably particular about the state of the statuette they are purchasing. A figure that is still however sparkling and wonderful as the day it might have been made is considerably more collectible than a well used, smudged puppet without a case. While a gatherer might get an unpacked figure from a swap meet, it will likely be to play with instead of to add to their principal assortment. Simply the way that a crate has been opened is sufficient to essentially bring down the worth of a jujutsu kaisen figure. The reviewing scale ordinarily utilized for activity figures, going from C10 mint to C1 extremely poor, is only for checked puppets; in the event that an activity figure does not have a card, and then it is not even on the scale.

Rebel – A Book Week Scotland Book
Review – 4 Stars ****
It’s now half-way through Book Week Scotland. Anyone can be part of it, even if you cannot make it to one of the many events happening around the country. Within libraries, there is a FREE BOOK called Rebel by the Scottish Book Trust and is funded by the National Lottery. It is free and you can keep it. Rebel can be collected at your local library this week.
Blurb and Extra Info From the Book
Everybody rebels. It’s part of what makes us human: to occasionally do the things we know we shouldn’t, say the things we know will provoke a fight against things we believe are unjust. Rebellion incites opposition and change, allows us to find our own individual voices and inspires future generations to challenge convention and expectation.
These true stories give insight to the rebellious side of the people of Scotland and some of its most talented writers.
This book is a present to you from Scotland Book Trust in celebration of Book Week Scotland 19-25 November 2018. This book is unsuitable for those aged 14 and younger due to some of the mature content and strong language used in some of the pieces of
There are enough different ways of writing under this year’s theme Rebel to satisfy most people. The book is split into sub-groups or sections with between 5 and 9 pieces of small works in each. The book itself is 128 pages, so it’s nice and small for any reader over the advised age of 14. It’s a nice enough book that is well put together. There is a mix of fun, poignancy and issues that are all relatable to on some level or another in the writing, that is also interesting. It is good that the few Gaelic pieces have been translated into English too, making them more accessible.
Split into 6 sections:
- Yer No Tellin’ Me Whit Tae Dae (You’re not telling me what to do)
- I’ll Show You a Rebel!
- Patter (Banter)
- Whit Did You Ca Me (What did you call me)
- Am I a Rebel
Each section has between 5 and nine pieces of work within it. Each piece is only a page to a few pages long. There are a number of true stories, some pieces make a real statement about what is going on now with the closing of libraries and how they need to be supported. Other pieces are pure fun. There’s a real mix of story and poetry, all which are true all telling what Rebel means to the writers who have contributed to this book.
10 of the best pieces in my opinion, in no particular order, are:
The Cold War by Michelle Frost.
The book actually kicks off with this. It isn’t Cold War as you may initially think. It actually takes place in a classroom. I love the thought, descriptions and analysis given within this, especially of a teacher mentioned within it. You really get a sense of the atmosphere.
Rebel Boots by Amy Moreno.
A poem about her big clunky boots and how to fashion can be rebellious but changes as we age, and yet there’s still a little bit of that rebellious, stubborn side to stay young within all of us
Fairy Cakes by Zoe Sutherland.
A paragraph of relatable fun of making fairy cakes. It’s cute and sweet, just like fairy cakes.
Rebel by Sara Sheriden
It’s about being a reader and a writer and well…. she tells of doing something rather different from using words to make a point. It’s a very well written quick read. It sets the scene well, the imagery well and gets to the point fast. There’s also an interesting sentence that let’s readers get a short glimpse at the type of books she writes and doesn’t write.
Rover by Todd Sharkey
Sometimes stuff happens in life, even if you’re a guy and it is okay to show emotions and it’s okay to be supported is the message that comes across. This is very well-written from the usual male response of being fine to the issue to the willingness to want to support a friend. It’s an important read for any male (and even females). The descriptions of the setting and scenery are vivid and brilliantly well-conceived. There’s a real poignancy about this piece of writing.
Hell Bent by Jayne Baldwin
A quick story about clothing and trying to go out. Read the story to see if Lizzie, who has heard all the disapproving comments before about her attire and find out if she goes out dressed in a particular way or not and if it is really outrageous! It’s written with action from the beginning and runs with it until the end in a way, most will find familiar.
The Revolt of the Socks by Jo Clifford
I love this title. It’s quirky and fun. It has the most fabulous, most important message contained within it and that is: To Be Yourself. This made me smile. (This isn’t in the story, nor the book, but just came to mind. There’s a fabulous, well-known quote I take with me through life by Oscar Wilde that is “Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken”. That’s what popped into my mind as soon as I finished reading this.
The Book by Kathleen MacDonald
It’s a short poem that has as a sense of humour.
The Right to Read by Angie Walker
It reflects on what is going on with library closures. It gets the point about why libraries are so important very well. It’s a quick read that leaps off the page. It is after all something that not just Scotland, but the whole of the UK faces daily and has been for a few years now.
Let’s Build a Morgue by Professor Dame Sue Black
It is about exactly that. This is an interesting piece about a morgue and how the mortuary became fully funded with the assistance of crime writers like Val McDermid. The first Theil cadaveric facility in the UK came into being in Dundee University and has many accolades now attached to it and is used as a training facility for surgeons. It’s a fascinating quick read!
There are of course many more stories and poems within the 128 paged book, all tackling the main theme of Rebel for readers to explore.

Nfinity Adult Evolution Cheer Shoes [White, 7]
Product fits as expected. This is my daughters 2nd pair of Nfinities and she loves them. They are light as air which makes tumbling in them a breeze. If you take care of them and do not wear them outside they will last you a season ( possibly 2 ). We will NEVER go back to Nike sidelines, or similar shoes. I will say that these should ONLY be used on either a spring floor or carpeted cheer mats as there is very little padding to absorb shock.
These are the best of the best when it comes to cheer shoes. Any cheerleader or former cheerleader will tell you that. They fit perfectly and match any uniform. They’re amazing for a flyer to wear because their bases can easily grasp them. They’re lightweight so you can get those toe-touches pointed and high. Highly recommend
In my opinion these are the most durable of cheer shoes, they don't fall apart. Granted, flyers want flyer shoes but these are great for younger girls struggling to learn to take care of shoes.
These shoes are absolutely amazing! They are a bit expensive but they are super comfortable and have very good grips for stunting which is always good. I highly recommend these shoes 10/10! I bought a pair of these last season and I already bought a new pair for this season! Totally obsessed with these!
Love these shoes! I use them for cheer and they are very comfy and weightless! It feels good on the bases hands as well
Great cheer shoes. Mine normally only last a year though... they can tear up easily if you wear them a lot..
The best cheer shoes out there in my opinion. they don't wear out easily and give good stability
If your a cheerleader i definately reccomend buying them cause tjey are really good quality❤😻😍💜💗

At the American Medical Association’s annual conference in June, medical students demanded the organization end its decades-long opposition to a single-payer national health program, a system that would be publicly financed but privately delivered and is better known as “Medicare for All.” This week, members of the Student Osteopathic Medical Association will submit a resolution asking the American Osteopathic Association to support Medicare for All.
Currently, the majority of Americans and practicing physicians support single-payer health care. In their resolutions, medical students from both organizations acknowledge what the rest of the country already knows: Market-driven healthcare is leading Americans to early graves and medical bankruptcy.
Our health system produces some of the worst health outcomes in the industrialized world — the U.S. has the highest rate of infant mortality and the highest number of avoidable deaths — and devours an ever-increasing share of our economy with health spending accounting for a whopping 17.9 percent of the GDP. Those fortunate enough to have insurance face prohibitively expensive copays, premiums, and deductibles that limit access to care, and medical expenses remain a leading cause of bankruptcy.
Instead, Medicare for All would give health care providers more autonomy because their clinical judgement — not the financial bottom line of insurance companies — will guide patient care. Patients would have free choice of any doctor, allowing providers to compete based on quality of care. Physicians would spend less time on administrative responsibilities like paperwork and billing, and more time seeing patients, which boosts both their work satisfaction and income.
We proudly stand alongside America’s future physicians in their efforts to steer the AMA and the AOA towards a universal, single-payer health system that provides quality, equitable care for all patients.
This is really idealistic and not practical at all. Is this only written by medical students or was there collaboration with practicing physicians who actually know the practicality of these idealistic, theoretical claims? A lot of these facts seem false. The links that are attached do not lead to studies just more opinion papers or a dead end. This logic does not seem very well thought out. You did not address or even mention the likely presence of confounding variables in some of your statistics, for example, regarding infant mortality. Highest number of avoidable deaths would definitely have some confounders!
The authors and supporters of this might not be knowledgable in how other countries who have single-payer systems. I am a citizen of Canada and the U.S. and have several relatives who were or are physicians in Canada and know how their system operates. They have major shortages of staff and hospitals beds- people wait in the hallways on gurneys. People can wait 3+ years to even get to PCP. That goes against your point above the patients can see whatever doctor they want because all the doctors are full, so privilege and resources will win out. Most practices are full and not accepting new patients. They usually wait 1+ years to get a referral to a specialist. Then wait another 1+ year to schedule a surgery after seeing that specialist. ER waits can be 15+ hours easily. There are not enough residencies and med schools to train enough Canadian doctors because it is costly to open up new programs, so they are imported from other countries, which is not supporting local citizens and local economy.
To add insult to injury with the shortage problem, socialized medicine is running frustrated doctors out of Canada because the system is so broken. The ones who are left can’t look after the community, so many people do not see doctors regularly because there are not openings. Some surgeons are only allowed to operate one day a week. Often they cap the amount of procedures you can do and cap the salary, so it deincentivizes work. These doctors want to work, they trained for many years to work and then are not able to because of lack of funding and lack of infrastructure. This goes against your point above that allows doctors to increase quality of care. This is false because their hands are tied in this waiting game. This gives them less autonomy, which counters your point above.
Why would physicians spend less time doing paperwork? Because they are seeing less patients? Not good!
It might theoretically provide equitable care (in practice, it won’t, as I mentioned above), but the equal care will not be high quality. The system will then run on a budget instead of free cash flow, so everything will be minimalized. The lines will get longer and THAT will send people to their graves earlier, to mimic the wording you used above.
I know first hand and could give about 10 or more examples, including people I know who died young on the waitlist. But they were “covered” and it was “free.” And also it’s not free. Canadians pay similarly to what Americans pay but it is masked in taxes, so they are unaware of the cost. It really hits close to home because my family is directly suffering from single paying health care and I would be very sad to see that problem come here too. If Medicare for All was to be adopted, the motto should be “Medicare for All means equally poor care for all.”

From my piece in the Daily Beast
After a month of revelations at the phone hacking trial, a clear picture of the sex-obsessed, cut-throat world of Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid journalists has been presented.
The Devil is in the Metadata
In British trials, there are usually a number of admissions or ‘agreed facts’, uncontested by either side. In the hacking trial, most of the evidence against private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who has already pleaded guilty a second time to phone hacking, comes into this category. The police investigation has recovered huge tracts of data about calls and texts from his various mobile numbers and landlines, incidentally just the sort of information the NSA is tracking….. The metadata reveals hundreds of alleged voicemail hacks of a variety of victims, using ingenious methods, including jamming a cell phone to get into its voicemail, resetting the PIN code by pretending to be an engineer, or procuring a direct line to the voicemail.
But it wasn’t just Mulcaire. Though the police could only obtain about nine months of News International’s phone records, from 2005-6, they have identified nearly 700 calls from the offices of News Corp’s London subsidiary which are agreed by both sides to be ‘hacks’. On one day alone in 2006, a News International landline made 24 hacking calls to royal aides and rival journalists. An aide to Princes William and Harry, Jamie Lowther Pinkerton, was hacked 416 times from the Wapping office.
Follow the Money
The second biggest source of prosecution evidence comes from billing and invoice data, showing Mulcaire invoicing News of the World for projects such as ‘Milly Dowler’ (a murdered teenager)—or an ‘assist’ on ‘John Prescott’, the former deputy prime minister. The various billings suggest Mulcaire was paid around $700,000 over a five-year period , though an email recovered from News International’s top legal adviser, Tom Crone, relaying Rebekah Brooks’ discussions with police officers in 2006, suggest the amount was nearer $1.4 million, the jury heard.
A second private investigator, Andrew Gadd, told the court he’d been paid about $500,000 over six years by News of the World to trace people’s home addresses and company records. At least two more private investigators have been reported to have been on the newspaper’s payroll. Nice work if you can get it.
The timeline of agreed admissions over phone hacking mainly concerns politicians, sport stars, celebrities, their friends and family, who were suspected of affairs or illicit sexual liaisons.
Old Emails will Embarrass You
The third big source of the prosecution evidence has come from emails, some of which have already been produced in court. Messages have been recovered from the private computers of Mulcaire; the former royal reporter Clive Goodman, who was also convicted of phone hacking in 2007; lawyers working on a previous wrongful dismissal case; and one of the laptops of Rebekah Brooks which, the jury heard, contained an unsent love letter to Andy Coulson.
By far, the largest source of email data has come from News International, the British arm of Murdoch’s News Corp empire. The jury has heard that no emails were archived until 2005 but over 93 million emails from the company had been recovered by police. However, among the admissions agreed upon by all sides in the case is that over five million emails had been permanently ‘purged’ from the system dating from 2007 to 2010. In August 2010, Brooks replied to an IT department query about deleting everything up until that year: “Yes to Jan 2010. Clean sweep.” That email survived.
It’s Just Business
The jury heard that Brooks met Coulson at a Mayfair hotel only a week before he resigned as prime minister David Cameron’s press supremo. In January 2011, Brooks allegedly emailed her PA, Cheryl Carter, cc’ed to Coulson, asking her to find a hotel “somewhere discreet” because “I need to see Andy.” Carter suggested the “quiet and discreet” Halkin hotel and Coulson replied: “Fine with me, Can we say 7.45.”
However, according to a close friend of Cameron’s, Dom Loehnis, who testified that he sat next to the then CEO of News International at private birthday party for the prime minister in October 2010, Brooks was already claiming that Coulson’s days as chief press spokesman at Number Ten were numbered. When Loehnis asked Brooks about his future, he told the court that she “said she wasn’t sure if he would survive it as she felt that the story was not going away.”
The trial continues.

A classic homemade bread, roll and hamburger bun recipe! Hamburger Buns
Homemade buns are much more filling than the 'mostly air' store bought versions. Men that normally eat 2 or 3 burgers on a store bought bun can usually only eat 1 or 2 on a 'real' bun as they are more substantial, but I also love that they don't include all the preservatives and chemicals a packaged version does.
This recipe is a very basic, classic, white dough recipe. Use it for 2 loaves of bread, one bread braid, 2 or 3 french loaves or of course, buns!
Classic White Dough
12 oz. warm water
1 1/2 t salt
2 T butter
4 c unbleached bread flour (or use all purpose if that is what you already have)
2 T dry milk powder
2 T sugar
1 3/4 t yeast, dry
Either place this in a bread machine (in the order your machine requires) and run on the dough setting or place into a large KitchenAid style mixer with a bread dough hook and knead/mix for up to 10 minutes. I used the electric mixer and placed the water, salt, sugar and yeast in first; let it set and proof for about 2 minutes and then added the butter, dry milk and flour. Let your dough set for about 10 minutes after kneading to rest. Remove the dough from the machine or the mixer bowl. Divide it in half. Then each half into half. Then each of those halves into half. This is how you will get fairly equal sized balls. If making rolls to go with a meal divide them until you have golf ball sized balls. If using for hamburger buns, stop dividing the dough when they are double that size so they will be large enough for the hamburger patties. Roll and flatten a tiny bit in your floured hands and place on greased or parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 375F for approximately 15 minutes but this can be up to 22 minutes depending on the size buns you make, the thickness of your baking sheet and your oven. When they are golden brown remove them, brush the tops with butter for a softer bun and let cool to warm to serve as rolls or cool completely and serve as hamburger buns.

We were driving back home to the Bay Area, after my sister’s wedding in LA, and we were all starving by the time we hit Buttonwillow. Choices for lunch here are pretty limited. You have a Dennys and a couple of fast food joints, a taco truck or two, an Indian restaurant and Willow Ranch. We had stopped at Willow Ranch once before, for breakfast, and had left unimpressed. However, Yelp reviews promised something better for lunch, and we’re always up to trying some BBQ. Willown Ranch did not disappoint. They probably served the best bbq I’ve had outside E&J’s for a long time.
Willow Ranch is a simply, homey, coffeeshop/family restaurant style place. They have a cool statute of a cow in the front, which the kids loved, and a western motif, but it’s not a place where you come for the decor. The menu is extensive, but it caters to meat eaters (vegetarians should probably head for Taste of India). That was perfectly fine with us.
Mike had a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs ($15). They came with coleslaw, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans and onion rings. We both felt the ribs were excellent. I liked the flavor and the fact that they didn’t taste boiled, they had texture. The BBQ sauce was also excellent, highlighting sour and sweet notes. Those who like a kick on their BBQ would be disappointed, but I don’t. I had the tri-tip sandwich with onion rings ($10). The beef itself was sort of blah, but the sauce was good enough to make it shine. All in all, I was quite happy. The onion rings were very good as well, make sure to ask for ranch sauce to go with them.
My oldest daughter was quite happy with her California Chicken Burger ($8) and the little one was quite happy with her mac & cheese. The kids’ size dish was cheap at $4, but it did leave her hungry (she’s 9). The rest of us had more than enough food together, however.
Drinks were about $2.50 and the whole lunch for the four of us came to about $51 after tax and before tip.
All in all, it was a great lunch and I look forward to stopping there in the future.
Update May 2014
We stopped again at Willow Ranch, again coming back from LA. It was earlier in the day, so two of us had breakfast.
Mike had the Western Style Omelette ($9). He was not too happy with it. It was described as ‘Shredded deep-pit Certified Angus Beef®, diced bell pepper and onions topped with Cheddar cheese and served with your choice of homemade BBQ sauce or salsa”. He had expected that the beef and veggies would have been incorporated into the omelette. Instead, an egg & cheese omelette was just served on top of the beef. I just didn’t work for him.
Camila had some pancake combo from the kids’ menu which met her 9 year-old expectations. The toast, however, was very hard and she did not like it.
Mika once again enjoyed her California chicken burger, sans bacon, and I had the kids’ BBQ ribs & fries ($6). I wasn’t very hungry, and as Mika was ordering from the adult menu I felt justified. The entree came with four spare ribs, which was just the right amount for my hunger then and should satisfy a child’s appetite. Again, they had a nice texture and a good sauce. The fries were crispy and fine, but unremarkable.
In all, a good experience, but I think lunch rather than breakfast is the winner here.
Original Review, Breakfast, July 2009
We were on I-5 again, returning home from LA, the kids were hungry and the next stop was Buttonwillow so we headed there. We hadn’t been to the Willow Ranch restaurant before, and we figured it might be better than the other choices. In reality, it was not – we only had breakfast, but their breakfast left some to be desired. I’m rating it a solid “D” for Dennys-like quality.
I had the French toast (2 bread slices for $6) that came with a side of bacon or sausage. I got the bacon and it was overcooked and tough. The French toast was OK but not exciting, a rather small portion for the price (but I wouldn’t have wanted more). It was served with regular syrup.
Mike had the “hearty” breakfast ($8) which included pancakes, 2 eggs, sausage, and I think bacon. The pancakes were fine, but his eggs over medium were actually runny. Without any potatoes or bread to soak the yolk, they were a waste. The kids had the pancake and egg breakfast ($3) and were both happy, but they are easy to please. With 3 hot chocolates and a glass of milk the bill came to $30 after tax, expensive for a very mediocre breakfast.
The Willow Ranch is a modest, western-style restaurant and I think they specialize in BBQ foods, so their BBQ may be good – but I wouldn’t be rushing back in in any case.

Marga’s Road Restaurant Reviews
It’d been 6 years since my original visit to (and review of) Taste of India in Buttonwillow and I was a bit surprised to see that things haven’t changed that much. The restaurant seems a bit more run down, the menu has been streamed line and now you order at the counter, but the restaurant still serves mostly North Indian food at relatively high prices (dishes are mostly priced around $11, same for dinner and lunch). The food is pretty good for Indian food in the middle of nowhere, but not outstanding.
We ordered our standards, chicken tikka masala and lamb korma (both $11), with a side of garlic nan and a large rice. The rice was purely white, no hints of saffron or mixed peas for appearance sake, which is fine with me. The nan was a bit thin but passable. The curries were better. The lamb korma was probably the best of the two. The pieces of lamb were tiny, but they still had considerable flavor. The curry was smooth and balanced. I liked it. The tikka masala substituted salt for smokyness, and its sourness was too one-noted, but it was still OK. Mika liked her mango lassi and I my sweet one, which once again was almost too sweet.
In all the meal was pleasant but we spent over $40 and only ordered two entrees, too expensive a lunch.
We’ll probably stop at Taste of India again, but given the prices and the location (a bit too close to LA), it may be a few years.
Taste of India
20687 Tracy Avenue
Update: This restaurant is now closed.
The following is a message I got about a restaurant on the road between SF & LA. I haven’t been there – but after that recommendation, I’ll definitely try it.
My wife and I stop at the Planeta Rojas Café in Button Willow each time we travel to L.A. and return.…it is down the way from the Taste of India…in back of the Shell Gas Station.
While you have to push past that they prepare their food out in front in a portable “Taco Coach” and you order inside the red building…the food is excellent. I am a Mexican Food lover and connoisseur…I grew up in L.A….spend a lot of time in Mexico..and know the best places in the Bay Area. Nobody, not any restaurant from Mexico City to any place in the Bay area….touches their Chile Relleno…it is all made fresh…this is not fast food…but, they serve it quickly. Try the Chicken Tostada if you’re on a diet. The prices are cheap…and a complete lunch for 2 is $13 to $20…including a soda.
One other thing…you might think the owners are just arrived from Mexico…a married couple…they’re not, both hard working & very friendly and proud parents of a new U.S. Marine stationed in San Diego…just joined and doing his boot camp. He joined for 6 years to become an Military Police. You won’t be disappointed.

Ohanian’s book begins by presenting Albert Einstein as a young graduate student seeking a university appointment before accepting a discouraging post as a patent clerk. The narrative is immediately engaging and sets the accessible, and often light-hearted tone carried throughout the book. Ohanian highlights Einstein’s mediocre scholastic performance, poor personal hygiene, and challenged interpersonal skills as likely culprits for his inability to secure a more suitable position. While a patent clerk in 1905, however, Einstein published a handful of seminal physics papers that received wide critical acclaim. These papers, notes Ohanian, contained several mistakes.
The book then reviews several hundred years of theoretical and experimental developments in physics, leading up to 1905, Einstein’s “miracle year” during which he published four outstanding scientific papers. One experiment in particular—the Michelson-Morley interferometer results, first published in 1881—is discussed at length. The book’s consideration of the backdrop of Einstein’s scholastic paradigm helps place his work in a greater context, and the physicist is presented as being involved in the great questions of his day. Einstein’s failure to understand the Michelson-Morley result is noted as an additional—and major—mistake.
The book presents a crafted and chronological narrative braid of biographical data, professional work, and authorial analysis. Major life events are noted, and an assortment of amusing or apocryphal anecdotes is included, depicting the physicist as excessively proud, somewhat arrogant, self-promoting, and entirely human.
The book’s portrayal of Einstein is atypical and helpful in positioning the man as an approachable and intelligible person. For example, Einstein’s icily cavalier treatment of his wife Mileva Marić during their divorce for his infidelity illustrates the all-too-human failings of the man behind the genius. On the professional side, Ohanian repeatedly notes Einstein’s basic lack of mathematical insight, characterizes him as a lousy mathematician, and offers a sound rationale for this surprising characterization. Indeed, most of Einstein’s enumerated mistakes are mathematical—“perfectly mundane, careless, and sometimes stupid lapses in logic and mathematics” (p. 332). He is presented as a remarkable physicist capable of intuitively understanding the big picture issues but uninterested in providing the minutia of mathematical proof. The book is compelling in this presentation and takes the road less traveled by providing a biography that is not sycophantic or focused exclusively on Einstein’s scientific prowess.
The book also considers how Einstein, in his later years as a celebrity, influenced subsequent thinking in the sciences—and not always for the better. He is presented during his later life as keenly interested in his own legacy and well aware of his position as an international celebrity. As such, he was often questioned about personal beliefs and opinions outside the realm of physics; the book presents several interesting anecdotes from this strange milieu and plays with the notion of the interplay between science and opinion.
The book ends with a concise review of Einstein’s aggregated mistakes. Its greatest disappointment is found in the conclusion: “[w]hat lessons can we extract from Einstein’s mistakes? Not many.” (p. 332). This downbeat assessment reflects poorly upon the author’s attempt to chronicle Einstein’s mistakes without “Schadenfreude (roughly translated as ‘gloating’ […])” (p. xi).
Einstein’s Mistakes includes a preface, chronology, and prelude as front-matter; and a “post mortem” (p. 327), extensive and useful endnotes, and bibliography as end-matter. An index is unfortunately missing. The book is well illustrated with twenty-five photographs and illustrations. The enumerated and named chapter divisions are intuitive and aid materially in making the book accessible. The book will appeal to anyone with an interest in Einstein or the state of physics theory during his lifetime; it will prove interesting to any physics student who has labored through general relativity and wondered about the man who originally conceived it.

OUR FARM – Herbin Farms
LESS IS MORE!
At Herbin Farms, We’re Taking Agriculture to a Whole New Level…Literally!
Vertical farming and growing indoors enables us to grow better food, in less space, all year long. Billions of people around the world live far from where their food is grown. By growing indoors and upward, vertical farming enables us to grow food closer to home…so important in urban areas as the global population in our cities grow.
Using proven hydroponics technologies, energy efficient LEDs, and automated sensors, our crops get just the right amount of water, light and nutrients in a controlled, sustainable farm environment. Our crops are sheltered from harmful and unpredictable weather, and soilless growing protects our crops from soil-borne diseases and pests and eliminates the need for harmful chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides. Using up to 90% less water than traditional farming, water is cycled repeatedly to irrigate plants.

I've recently figured out how to download songs and burn them to a CD. I know it's not that tricky I just never really wanted to do such a thing. Now I have a list going at walmart.com until I have enough for another CD.
This new trick I've learned saddens me a bit. You see my kiddos will probably never, ever learn how to anticipate a song on the radio and press the record button. Remember KDWB's Top 8 at 8? Maybe they still have it, don't know? I remember patiently waiting and hoping the song I wanted would be coming on next. Then there's the is it really the song I want? problem. Do you press record when you're not sure only to risk the hassle of rewinding and queuing the tape correctly again for next time? Listening to the tape you finally made with either a DJ's voice cut-off at the beginning or end of the song was always fun, too. Not to mention the chopped up commercials on either end of the song as well.
Ahhh, the good ol' days!

UBC Theses and Dissertations
Incidents hindering or facilitating the adjustment process: a study of Hong Kong students Bolton, Sandra A.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the question: What events facilitated or hindered the adjustment process of Hong Kong students in Canada? This task was completed by utilizing Flanagan's (1954) Critical Incident Technique. Sixteen students, eight male and eight female, between the ages of sixteen and eighteen were interviewed. All the participants had lived in Canada for one and half to three years, and were enrolled in regular classes. Students were asked to identify specific incidents which hindered or facilitated their adjustment process in Canada. A total of 308 incidents were reported, 121 facilitating and 187 hindering. The average number of incidents reported per student was 19. Overall, this research revealed seven basic categories which facilitated or hindered the students' adjustment in Canada. From an examination of findings, several conclusions were drawn regarding emotional, societal and environmental factors. Foremost, language acquisition ranked firstamong all the categories, and tended to be a very difficult obstacle for all the students. Over fifty-six hindering incidents were reported in this category. Likewise, a lack of family support and a negative sense of identity hindered the process of adjustment for a majority of the students. In contrast, a helpful school environment and positive peer interaction, lessened the stresses of acculturation for many students. Based on these conclusions, several recommendations were listed to assist counsellors, teachers and administrators in establishing various programs to encourage the successful adjustment of immigrant students. Moreover, areas for future research and the implications of the study were highlighted.

Dax Shepard Strongly Denies Having An Affair With Julie Andrews’ GranddaughterDecember 15, 2018
Dax Shepard is firmly denying that he & a past fling, Kayti Edwards, had a rekindled romance while he was seeing Kristen Bell! Here was his response that set the record straight!
Timing in relationships is everything. While the Daily Mail did an interview with Dax Shepard‘s former fling, Kayti Edwards (Julie Andrews‘ granddaughter), in which Edwards claims that they allegedly shared a night together after Dax started dating Kristen Bell, Dax has since set corrected this romantic timeline put forth by Edwards. Edwards claims that although the two of them met in 2005, a meeting that led to hook-ups, she went on to allege that they ran into each other in late 2009, or early 2010, and allegedly slept together.
In addition to the interview with Edwards, the Daily Mail shared pictures of them making out in a photo booth at a party. Edwards said, “We grabbed the photos and he handed ’em to me and said, ‘I can’t take these home, you better hang on to them.’ Because… apparently he had a girlfriend. And it wasn’t until later that I realized who his girlfriend was.”
Well, this is not the correct timeline of events, according to Shepard. Re-posting the pictures (below), Dax wrote in his Instagram caption, “Hey Daily Mail, that photo is 13 years old, not 9. Also, Kayti has sold stories to tabloids about Matthew Perry, Jack Osbourne, Kid Rock, and now me. I look forward to her next one. Fingers crossed it’s about my #1, Brad Pitt :).”

Regional disparities in the beneficial effects of rising CO2 concentrations on crop water productivity
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) are expected to enhance photosynthesis and reduce crop water use. However, there is high uncertainty about the global implications of these effects for future crop production and agricultural water requirements under climate change. Here we combine results from networks of field experiments, and global crop models3 to present a spatially explicit global perspective on crop water productivity (CWP, the ratio of crop yield to evapotranspiration) for wheat, maize, rice and soybean under elevated [CO2] and associated climate change projected for a high-end greenhouse gas emissions scenario. We find CO2 effects increase global CWP by 10[0;47]%–27[7;37]% (median[interquartile range] across the model ensemble) by the 2080s depending on crop types, with particularly large increases in arid regions (by up to 48[25;56]% for rainfed wheat). If realized in the fields, the effects of elevated [CO2] could considerably mitigate global yield losses whilst reducing agricultural consumptive water use (4–17%). We identify regional disparities driven by differences in growing conditions across agro-ecosystems that could have implications for increasing food production without compromising water security. Finally, our results demonstrate the need to expand field experiments and encourage greater consistency in modelling the effects of rising [CO2] across crop and hydrological modelling communities.

Once a generation—or so goes the premise of this flip, funny new series, based on the 1992 movie—one girl in all the world is born to wage war against vampires. At the moment, she is Buffy Summers, a cute but moody suburban California teen who has just arrived at Sunnydale High. Buffy left her last school over some unpleasantness, presumably involving vampires, that ended with the gym burning to the ground. But evil, Buffy quickly learned in the two-hour premiere March 10, is festering here as well, literally just below the lawns and after-school hangouts. Down in the sewers, a league of vampires plots to take over the world. Grumpily facing up to her duty, which can get in the way of establishing a social life, Buffy is seen trooping off to her bedroom and rummaging through her stockpile of crucifixes, stakes and holy water.
Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the part (originated by Kristy Swanson in the movie version) with the right degree of put-upon resentment, and the cast—including Anthony Stewart Head as school librarian—is as smooth an ensemble as you could wish in an hourlong series. The vampires, presided over by a king bloodsucker (Mark Metcalf) who looks like an albino rat in a leather bar, are the only disappointment. Because of his fangs, Metcalf slurps his lines. But, all in all, this looks like one of the brightest new shows of the season.
NBC (Wednesdays, 9:30 p.m. ET)
To be sure, any executive assistant at a New York City fashion magazine would find his name far down the masthead—if even on the mast-head. But as played by the demoniacally sarcastic David Spade in a new sitcom from the producers of The Larry Sanders Show, this supercilious yet conniving secretary could easily have the rest of the staff dangling like marionettes from his fingers. Spade, best-known as Chris Farley's sidekick in movies like Tommy Boy, can deliver an insult with such grace and precision it's like watching Fred Astaire dance with a prop. Who needs a partner? Which brings us to the chief problem here: The actor is, in fact, in excellent company—there's George Segal as the publisher, Laura San Giacomo as his daughter and Wendie Malick as a fashion editor—but none of them is yet quite up to Spade.
MTV (Wednesdays, 10:30 p.m. ET)
Understandably the wildly vivacious McCarthy, former cohost of Singled Out, had greater ambition than to be jostled and ogled, week after week, by young guys hopping around in an advanced state of hormonal excitement. McCarthy's new MTV series, a 13-episode half-hour sketch show, is her first baby step toward solo stardom. Clearly she is not ready to do anything to alienate the world's Beavises and Butt-heads. In one skit, unable to remember what she had for lunch, she vomits onto a conference table and studies the results. She also makes a variety of goofy faces. McCarthy's next career move is a bigger one: She has her own NBC sitcom in the works for the fall. Perhaps a kindly director will teach her that being funny and idiotic aren't the same thing. Or maybe Téa Leoni will take her under her wing.
CBS (Sun., March 30, 9 p.m. ET)
Question: If the Waltons had grown up in a valley instead of on a mountain, would they have been depressed rather than upbeat? Watching this two-hour special, I also found myself fantasizing that Mama Walton was played by Lauren Bacall. "Make your own damned biscuits," she snarls to the clan. In other words, this innocuous and sentimental show doesn't require close attention. John Boy (Richard Thomas, who, though 46 years old, looks about 32) is a TV news anchor and fledgling author in the year of the moon walk. He visits the homestead for his parents' 40th anniversary. Virtually the entire cast from the series has been reassembled. Papa (Ralph Waite) makes some wicker chairs, John Boy bickers with his pregnant wife, and Mama (Michael Learned) encourages a student in her class to join a spelling bee.
CBS (Sun., April 6, 9 p.m. ET)
In 1988, two Alcott scholars uncovered a 150-page manuscript that the author of Little Women wrote in 1849 at age 17. The Inheritance, first published this February, has now been adapted into this two-hour TV movie. A very timid attempt at romantic melodrama, with no bodices ripped, the show's riveting moments include a horse losing its shoe.
Cari Shayne is a penniless young woman, orphaned, who nonetheless has found a home with a wealthy Massachusetts couple (Tom Conti and Meredith Baxter). She serves as companion to their only daughter. Her station is above that of servant, but not much. This leaves her in an awkward position in society and makes it difficult for her to accept the attentions of a rich, handsome bachelor (Thomas Gibson). Meanwhile, the daughter's cousin, an ambitious, ringleted minx (Brigid Walsh Brannagh), wouldn't mind snaring Gibson for herself. Well, I'm already out of breath! The production is exceptionally handsome, from the period costumes to the family's stately home—which, according to production notes, is a mansion in Beverly Hills. That may explain why the garden vegetation looks faintly tropical.
RAIDERS OF THE BIG SCREEN
TRUE ORIGINALITY IN HOLLYWOOD IS AS rare as the tuna tartare served at Mortons. That, however, hasn't stopped TV execs from mining the movies for ideas—from Topper in the '50s and Peyton Place in the '60s to Alien Nation in the '80s. Now the trend is hotter than ever. Already, the WB Network has turned Buffy the Vampire Slayer (see review) into a series, USA Network has adapted La Femme Nikita, and CBS has ordered pilots for Fargo and The Magnificent Seven. Even ABC, despite so-so ratings for Clueless and Dangerous Minds, is developing Time-cop, a sci-fi series based on the Jean-Claude Van Damme thriller, and The Player, a spinoff of Robert Altman's film industry satire, this fall. "A TV show based on a movie is the equivalent of buying a bestseller—there's audience recognition," explains producer Larry Gelbart, who helped turn Altman's 1970 film M*A*S*H into a hit CBS series (1972-83).
For now, the rampant recycling shows no signs of abating. With its serial version of 1994's Stargate starting on Showtime in July, MGM Worldwide Television even has plans to produce a brand-new Fame—already a movie-cum-TV series during the '80s. "The audience," says the division's president, John Symes, "is ready for a '90s version." With that attitude, Howard the Duck: The Series just might be on the horizon.

Ken performed incredible ceremony music for our summer outdoor wedding in the mountains. We had a ton of options for bands to to play at our wedding but no one could come close to Ken's professionalism, talent and enthusiasm for playing music for these special occasions. Ken and his band are unbelievably flexible in their musical repertoire. Add the fact that they are some of the best musicians in the country and the nicest folks you will ever meet - I couldn't imagine a better experience. I can still hear his music in my head from that day. Very special indeed.
From first reaching out to Another Country Band, it was a smooth and fast booking process due to Ken's timeliness and professionalism. Although a change of wedding plans required us to cancel our booking, Ken was extremely professional, understanding and timely in his approach. I would most definitely look to Another Country Band for a future event and would recommend them to anyone.
Ken played our wedding, and I've seen him as a performer in another one as well. Excellent musicianship, with a great sense of what will fit. With our wedding, he got to know us and what would be appropriate. Our guests were impressed and moved by the performance. I would recommend for any type of wedding.
Great guys! We had Ken play solo at our ceremony and he did a fantastic job. We asked him to pick the tunes, perfect for a sunny outdoor wedding. He went above and beyond: we had no wedding planner, and a slight snafu as our wedding party was unsure what to do when the ceremony was ending - Ken was on top of it and quickly jumped in with some extra unplanned-for music, covering for our awkwardness and letting us exit gracefully! He's a great musician, nice guy and a true professional.
Ken and his band played at my wedding in 2013 and they were awesome. Having live music really is a great touch for a wedding. I have heard from many guests that our wedding was the most fun wedding they have ever attended. I definitely attribute that to the music (well and maybe strong margeritas too :) ). They were on time, quick with set up, professional and easy to work with. The guests and I had a fabulous time dancing and really just enjoying ourselves. You won't regret having Another Country perform at your wedding. It really sets a great tone for the event.
Ken, from Another Country, played at my wedding a few years ago. He and his band were professional and fun. They were exactly what we wanted for our wedding band!
We absolutely loved Another Country for our wedding! They played beautiful acoustic instrumentals for our ceremony and it was very beautiful. We chose Mysterious Habitats for our walk down the isle and the melody still runs though my head. They played originals, pop tunes, country tunes kept the party dancing the whole reception! Ken is extremely nice and professional and we loved having him and the band at our wedding. It definitely made our wedding experience more memorable!

Liège (Paris Métro)
|Paris Métro station|
8th arrondissement of Paris|
|Coordinates||48°52′47″N 2°19′37″E / 48.87972°N 2.32694°ECoordinates: 48°52′47″N 2°19′37″E / 48.87972°N 2.32694°E|
|Opened||26 February 1911|
Location within Paris
It was built as part of the Nord-Sud Company's Line B from Saint-Lazare to Porte de Saint-Ouen and opened on 26 February 1911 as Berlin, named after the nearby Rue Berlin. As the Rue d'Amsterdam, which the line runs under at this point, is too narrow to accommodate platforms across from each other, the station was built with offset platforms. It was closed on 1 August 1914 at the beginning of World War I. It reopened on 1 December 1914, when it and the street it was named after had been renamed after the Belgian city of Liège, paying homage to the Belgian resistance during the Battle of Liège. On 27 March 1931 the Nord-Sud Company was taken over by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris and line B became line 13 of the Métro.
The station was closed at the beginning of World War II, when many stations were closed for economy reasons. Unlike all but eight of the closed stations, its reopening was significantly delayed, in this case until 1968. Even then its opening hours were limited, being closed on Sunday and closing at 8pm on the other days, with all trains running through without stopping. Although Rennes station, which also reopened in 1968 began to operate normal opening hours in 2004, the authorities refused to agree to Liège working normal hours. Changing lifestyles and increasing redevelopment of the area, with residences replacing offices, inspired a sustained political campaign. Eventually it was agreed to operate normal hours from 4 December 2006.
In 1982, Liège was refurbished with new ceramic decorations made in Welkenraedt, Belgium, which evoke the landscapes and monuments of the Province of Liège. It had further renovation work in December 2006.
