The mother of a man shot to death in his Brooklyn home by a police officer is speaking out as the family begins proceedings to sue the city police department. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Even after nine months, Alice Bynoe-Browne says the pain is still unbearable at times. Back in January an NYPD officer shot and killed her son Duane Browne while police were responding to a 911 robbery call at their East New York home.
"I was so confused that night, I am still confused. I lost everything. everything," Bynoe-Browne said.
It turned out to be a very confusing situation.
The 911 caller told police Browne's brother was being robbed at gunpoint. Police say while checking out the home they encountered Duane Browne in his pajamas with a gun. They shot him after they say he did not drop the weapon. At the time, family members said Duane was coming to help his brother.
The family has now filed a civil lawsuit claiming that for more than 20 minutes officers stopped EMS workers from entering the home to give first aid to the bleeding 26-year-old.
"We believe that the police officers on the scene had the obligation to get him prompt medical treatment. We have a number of witnesses who said the ambulance arrived on the scene and that the EMS crew wasn't allowed in the house," said Attorney Ken Thompson.
But the fire department, which oversees EMS, says its crew was on the scene within five minutes and got Browne to the hospital in the next 11 minutes. His mother says when she arrived at the emergency room her son was dead.
"And then the detective came and I said, 'Can I see him? And she said 'No, he is under arrest.' And I said, 'He is dead,'" recalled Bynoe-Browne.
The family says the alleged robbers have never been caught and hopes police are doing all they can to solve that part of the case.
"The lawsuit to me is about justice, it is not about money," said Bynoe-Browne. "If it was about money, I would have sold everything to bring him back alive. It is about justice."
So far, the NYPD has not commented on the suit.

How to Replace Fuel Injectors - A quick step by step
Hey everyone. I posted this deep in a thread about changing spark plugs, then figured it was worth a post just so folks could find it. As a general rule, fuel injectors don't need much more maintenance than a periodic detergent gasoline (top tier), and/or a periodic fuel injector cleaning through the gas line. In spite of all the advertising that suggests you can get "like new" injectors, cleaning them only removes deposits. Over time, injectors suffer from wear and tear. They have moving parts! Additionally, too many additives can actually increase the port size (resulting in the fuel spray from going from a fine mist to a blob). Leaking injectors will degrade fuel economy (if leaking into the engine), and often will show up as a rich code. For the most part, modern fuel injection engines are able to compensate for the normal degredation over time, but there's nothing like a NEW injector to restore actual power loss resulting from wear and tear. No amount of additive will do that.
As a general rule, I recommend to my customers to consider changing all their injectors after 80K miles at the first sign of trouble on a single injector, or at about 140K miles if they intend to keep it for 20K+ more miles.
If you do the job yourself, you'll save a bunch of cash. It's also not a hard job!
Additionally, its very common (in fact, it's happened in every vehicle I've done at 120K miles or more) that the vehicle will pick up 1-2MPG gallon, as a result of restored power and more efficient burn.
Why else should you maintain them by replacement? Well, I've seen more than one engine completely shot as a result of a fuel injector failing. A $50 part cost the owner $3500 in repairs. (I was one of those many years ago and just scrapped the thing).
Again, there are those that would say "if it works, why replace it?" My answer above is the meat. I'd like to add, also, that we all change out spark plugs while they're still working; fuel injectors should get the same love.
Time Cost/value:
The first time you do this, it'll probably take about an hour and a half, because you'll be slow and careful. This generally takes me about 30 to 45 minutes to do a full injector swap, barring any weirdness. TOTALLY worth your time, btw, as the dealers will charge upwards of $1200 to do this! (injectors will run $350 - $700 genearlly for v-6 and v-8 applications, easy to check, just hit an online auto parts shop)
Ease of Repair:
Easy to Medium
Personally, I think it's easier than many spark plug replacement jobs, because, generally, the injectors are more accessible.
Usually I only need one or two sockets (8mm and 10mm), but sometimes I find an engine that needs something else. For the most part, though, a simple socket set is all that is needed. Nothing special here.
Rags, clean motor oil, new injectors, Socket set
Caution: As with any fuel related repair, make sure you do this in a WELL ventilated place, and no smoking while working on the Truck! It also helps to do this on a CLEANED engine (no gunk getting into the injector slots), and on a cool engine (no burned hands). Make sure the battery is disconnected at the right time, too!
Start by depressurizing the fuel system. If your truck is equipped with a fuel safety cutoff switches, find it and pull the electrical plug from it. This will disengage the fuel pump. Then try to start the engine (it will turn-over, but not start). This will pull any fuel from the lines and depressurize them.
Disconnect the battery.
If you don't have a fuel safety cutoff switch, you can depressurize the line by finding the pressure check valve (usually on top of the rail) and depressing the valve. This will spray fuel everywhere, though, and is messy. If you have a fuel pressure tester, it'll come with a valve checker and hose for this purpose making it far less messy. It's not necessary though.
Last resort is to pull a fuel line, that's REALLY messy. Make sure all fuel is mopped up and dry before proceeding. No sparks here!
Next, pull any components that restrict access to the fuel rail on the engine. On a V-8 you'll need to do this for both sides of the engine, as the rails will be on both sides. Most Chevy trucks will need the following removed: engine shroud, air intake, vacuum tubes, electrical plugs and bolt-on engine accessories.
Next, disconnect the fuel rail bolt securing the rail to the intake or engine.
Disconnect the electronic plug from each injector.Push the plug away from the rail.
At this point you're ready to pull injectors (not so bad, huh!) Basically, since you're doing all the injectors, just pull the fuel rail directly away from the tops of the injectors (they're just held on with O-rings). You may need to rock the rail slightly. The rail will pop right off all four injectors will a little pulling.
Remove the injector from the engine by grasping the injector head and pulling it directly away from the engine. You may find again, that it needs a little rocking.
Once pulled, make sure that each injector has the O-ring on the bottom and top. Otherwise, check the rail or hole. The O-rings are larger than the hole in the engine, so there's no worries about it slipping down inside, but occasionally they do remain in the slot.
On the new injectors, check to see if they come with pre-installed O-rings. They should. If not, you'll need to get O-rings on them (they're cheap, btw, but you'll need to get new ones from the auto parts store..> DO NOT USE OLD O-Rings as they'll have micro-tears or will be hardened, not making a great seal. In fact, it's a good idea any time you remove the injectors from the rail or engine to replace the O-rings).
Before putting the O-rings on, lubricate them with new motor oil. The goal is to ensure there are no micro-tears in the O-ring that will cause leaks later. The O-rings are fairly flexible and can be either rolled onto the injectors or pressed into place. If the injectors come with the O-rings on, lubricate the O-rings with motor oil while the O-ring is in place.
Put the injector back into the engine by pushing it nozzle first into the hole. Rock it slightly. You'll feel a slight "pop" as it seats. This is normal. When correctly seated, the injector will resist light attempts at removal. Seat all four injectors in the engine on each side before attempting to connect the rails.
Connect the rails by seating all four injectors under the ports at the same time, then just press downward. You'll likely have the same popping feeling again, and as with the engine, properly seated injectors will resist removal.
Smear a liberal amount of dielectric grease on the injector plug port (the grease will protect the electronics from corrosion and water). Connect the plug to the injector.
Reconnect the fuel rail retaining bolt or screw, and replace any accessories, intake, vacuum tubes, etc. Don't put on the engine shroud just yet.
Reconnect the fuel-safety cut-off switch, if you used this method. Reconnect the battery.
Prime the fuel system by turning the ignition key to the "start" position a few times (with several seconds in place). You'll hear the fuel pump prime the lines. Do this at least 3 times to pressurize the fuel lines.
Inspect the engine compartment for fuel leaks at the injector rails. If you have one, an O-ring isn't properly seated. Remove the rail and replace the O-ring (as it's likely been damaged in the process). I've never had this occur, but I always check just in case. No use having an engine compartment fire over something as silly as a badly seated O-ring!
Turn off the engine and install the plastic engine shroud. Close the hood and enjoy restored HP, mileage and engine longevity!

Nice write up...

New Bilstein shocks are on... New Mods coming soon..... X
I thought about doing this in my truck..... generation 1 5.3L with 220,000 miles on it, but pictures would really help although the wright up is excellent, and yes the after market injectors are about $93-$120 unless you get the delco ones from the dealer or amazon....... and that is per injector and we need 8 of them :-(
For example, looking on Autozone's website, injectors run anywhere from $45 for a single to about $120 a single injector. When I do them, I usually float the middle road paying about $75 an injector before shop discounts. I don't have a brand preference, used a bunch, everything from Accel to BWD for OEM applications.
Basically, you can find them for as little as $400 (even lower if you look hard for a set), upwards of $1000. $700 is pretty typical for a V-8 application, yeah.

Sorry. While I've done a bunch of them, I've never taken pictures of anything other than a single injector to show a customer something over e-mail.
Next Chevy I do, I'll be sure to grab some.

I can't ever find OEM injectors for my truck only MPFI "upgrade" kits. I want a OEM SFI kit if I'm going to spend the time to do it. Also does this process only work for 1999-2013 trucks with the Vortec 4.3, 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, and 6.2, not the 1996-1998/1999 Vortec 4.3, 5.0, 5.7, and 7.4.

I called GM SPO today. My injectors are $73.99 each thru GM. I can get them for $62 each on amazon. Looks like I will be getting some money together for this replacement. Not cheap!

Conlan Rose , I took the liberty of calling SPO with your vin since I had it from your broken spark plug issue. The GM part number for your injector is 17091432 . They are $75.75 each thru GM or $59.59 on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...words=17091432
The MPFI kits are around $350 on amazon. In my opinion that would be the way to go. You get all the injectors and a spider for $350

I would suggest you reconsider the MPFI upgrade, especially if you are planning to replace all 8 injectors/poppet valves. One of the reasons GM offers the upgrade (especially if they've also decided not to offer the old style) is that a lot of people had trouble with those poppet valves. The MPFI upgrade kit uses more typical injectors that most consider more reliable than the stock poppet valves.'98 K1500 Suburban LS 5.7 L 4L60E NV246 ARB

Four key Baillie Gifford emerging market calls
Sponsored By:
by Annabelle Williams on Dec 11, 2012 at 07:29
From rice machines to micro-lending, the emering world offers a breadth of opportunities. Baillie Gifford's emerging markets team give a rundown of the best stocks and bonds in their top-performing funds.
Asia's populations are growing rapidly and becoming wealthier, but one thing not likely to change in the near future is the demand for rice as a staple food.
The way rice is produced, however, is set to change to more closely mirror European and American grain production – meaning huge reliance on machinery and much less need for human hands in harvesting.
Japanese company Kubota is a leader in agricultural machinery used to harvest rice and its technology is so sophisticated that the number two in the market has even admitted it cannot copy the machines.
'The mechanisation of agriculture is at quite early stages,' Citywire AAA-rated manager Matthew Brett explained.
'Kubota specialise in rice and they have spent decades expertly perfecting pieces of key kit. The Chinese number two said they know how to take it apart but they can't put it back together so they can't make one. I think that's likely to stay the case for some time.'
Brett's Bailie Gifford Japanese fund is ranked 5th out of 61 in the Japan sector over three years. The fund has returned 19.35% over the last three years compared to 2.64% in the Topix TR benchmark.
Colombian local currency bonds
Sally Greig has had exposure to Colombian local currency bonds for the last four years in the top-ranking Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Bond fund she co-manages alongside Steven Hay.
Greig argues the market is overly focused on Colombia's high crime rates, and is missing the positive side of the fiscal reforms that have taken place since the end of the civil war.
'Colombia we have liked to quite a few years now. They have been pursuing sensible fiscal policies but the market has been overly focused on crime rates and put too much of a discount on Colombian assets because of its history,' she said.
'But if you had invested in Colombian bonds over the last four years you would have doubled your money.'
The fund is ranked first out of 17 in the Emerging Markets Global Local Currency sector over three years and made a return of 42.3% over the period, compared to 32.27% in the Barclays EM Local Currency Government -10% Country Cap TR GBP benchmark.
Bank Rakyat
Indonesia is a very underpenetrated market for banking, where most people do not have a bank account and loans to GDP are less than 30%.
So not only does local micro-lender Bank Rakyat have a lot of scope for growing its market share, but it also benefits from an established position in the market, having been set up in the 1970s.
Roderick Snell, co-manager of the Baillie Gifford Pacific fund says he is looking for Asia's next Unilever or Coca-Cola and has been a long-standing holder of Bank Rakyat, in part because he describes its management as 'one of the best teams in Asia'.
'They have a strong competitive advantage with 30 years of credit history, so what they can loan is actually cheaper than the competition,' Snell explained. 'They are very well capitalised and have very good management… and finally there is the valuation.'
The fund has returned 39.52% over three years compared to 27.86% in the FTSE AW Asia Pacific ex-Japan.
Kunlun Energy
Energy represents a huge opportunity in China as the growth in private wealth and industry sees the country consume more and more resources.
Mike Gush, manager of the Baillie Gifford Greater China fund, rates gas distributor Kunlun Energy for its growth prospects and argues investors are failing to recognise the stock's value.
'China's gas distribution is tiny compared to the opportunities,' he said. 'This is a company that doesn't really worry about price. They have a very strong state-owned part and have been buying assets at pretty favourable prices.'
'A lot of the acquisitions are growing extremely quickly – and people are valuing them on last year's earnings rather than what they what they could be earning,' he argued. 'We think the prospects for this company are very good.'
Mike Gush's Greater China fund is ranked eighth out of 14 in the Greater China sector, but has struggled to perform against benchmark, providing a return of 3.06% over the last three years compared to 15.1% in the MSCI Golden Dragon TR index.

RELEASE: Across Nation, State Lawmakers Join Call for Raising Minimum Wage to Boost Economy

Across Nation, State Lawmakers Join Call for Raising Minimum Wage to Boost Economy
Four Years After Last Federal Increase, Leading National Group of State Legislators Stresses Positive Impact Raising Wage Would Have on Economy as Part of National Day of Action
New York, NY -- On the fourth anniversary of the last federal increase in the minimum wage, a leading national group of state legislators joined other elected officials across the nation in calling for an increase in the minimum wage at both the state and federal levels, stressing the positive impact that raising the wage would have across the entire economy.
The announcements came as part of a national day of action on the need to raise wage, as lawmakers emphasized - both at events and on social media - how allowing all Americans who work for a living to be able to support their families' basic needs would benefit the economy as a whole.
"Raising the minimum wage is popular, helps working families, creates jobs, and boosts communities and the entire economy," said State Senator Jeremy Nordquist (Nebraska), Chair of the Economic Security Working Group, a national group of state lawmakers dedicated to advancing and defending workplace-based policies to build economic security and strengthen the middle class. "With the federal minimum wage having fallen far behind the pace of inflation, and with all workers making minimum wage today make less than they did in 1968 when adjusted for inflation, it will continue to be up to the states to act if Congress will not."
Some state lawmakers took part in actions to highlight the need to raise the wage, including committing to living on a minimum wage budget themselves.
"To fill up my gas tank costs about $60. You can do the math from there," stated State Senator Dwight Bullard (Florida), who lived on a budget of $52.67 for a week. "That $52 was all I had for food, and travel. It was extremely challenging. There are incredibly hard working people in my district who give their all and get so little. It's important that people like me and other lawmakers across the state do what's right for the well being of all we serve by increasing the minimum wage."
Other lawmakers held public events and hearings to focus attention on the plight of low-wage workers and the urgent need to boost wages.
"Unfortunately, many workers across the state aren't seeing the personal economic improvement that should go along with our recovering economy," said State Representative Ryan Winkler (Minnesota), Chair of the Select Committee on Living Wage Jobs which planned to hold two public hearings throughout the state Wednesday. "We want to hear from Minnesota workers and their families about their jobs - the pros, the cons and what we can do to make hard work pay for every Minnesotan."
Recent polling has shown broad, bipartisan support for raising the minimum wage to $10 or more. A national poll released today shows 80% of Americans - including strong majorities across demographic categories and party lines - supporting an increase in the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and indexing for inflation in the future.
Last November, voters in communities in New Mexico and California approved ballot measures to increase the minimum wage in their cities by significant margins. Voters in New Jersey will decide on a ballot initiative to raise the wage this fall. In 2013 legislative sessions, state legislators continued to introduce and advance measures to raise the minimum wage in the absence of action by Congress. Nineteen states, as well as Washington, D.C., currently have minimum wages above the federal rate of $7.25.

The New High School Rankings Are Here
Find out how the schools in your region did.
U.S. News has just launched its second annual list of America's Best High Schools. The analysis of more than 21,000 public high schools in 48 states is available here and on newsstands as of December 8 in the magazine issue dated Dec. 1522, 2008.
To produce the 2009 America's Best High Schools rankings, U.S. News teamed up with School Evaluation Services (SES), a K-12 education data research business run by Standard & Poor's. SES developed the comprehensive methodology that judges how well high schools serve all their students, not just those who are collegebound.

Diner Reviews
Was there for FATHER'S day. It was
packed and service was a bit slow but it's understandable. Food is great, portions are generous and it is very affordable for brunch/lunch."
Dined on 6/15/2014
main dining room is fine -
the upstairs where we ended up is very funky and not pleasant also ignored by staff "
Dined on 5/31/2014
Charming location and decor.
Wonderful music. Aromas and flavors were enjoyable. We arrived on time for our reservation yet waited to be greeted and seated. Table was not prepared. Once seated, we waited 35 minutes for anyone to speak to us. We tried eye contact and flailing arms only to be ignored. The guests at the next table were given their bill and they directed the server to assist us! Once food and drink were ordered it was another long wait to be served. If I were to return, I'd call in advance to verify if they are sufficiently staffed. I'll advise my friends accordingly. Lastly, a neighboring shop owner and his 2 kids used the area around and INSIDE the restaurant as a playground. Not pleasant. Overall, disappointing."
Dined on 5/31/2014
Despite the classical French
offerings, the food was just mediocre and in one case terrible. However, they were terribly understaffed and we had to wait for our food (which was cold) and we had to wait for our check 15 minutes. I would not recommend."
Dined on 5/31/2014
La Fable was the perfect place for
a mother-daughter dinner last weekend. Not too crowded, quiet and sweet, delicious food, and personable staff all contributed to an excellent experience. It seems like La Fable hasn't made a big enough name for themselves yet, because we had no trouble getting a reservation on a Saturday night, so go before it gets discovered. We asked for the scallops without the tomato sauce and they came in a perfect balsamic reduction, and the salmon salad looked and tasted beautiful. Nice wine, good coffee, hearty bread in the basket... everything was just what I hoped. highly recommend."
Dined on 5/17/2014
We have been here several times,
often to see our friends play jazz (BabShad Jazzz usually plays once a month on a Friday evening). This is a great neighborhood restaurant; there's an outside deck upstairs and a small bar scene downstairs. The food is delicious and typical French fare but served in an unpretentious way. The setting is fairly plain and not at all fussy; families can bring children here without fear of wrecking the "atmosphere". The original Peets is just a few doors down and Walnut Square, which is where the restaurant is located, offers a small selection of charming shops. A great addition to the 'gourmet ghetto' scene."
Dined on 5/16/2014
The food and service really suffer
with a large crowd. Mother's Day was quite bad, although we stuck it out. We never heard an apology for the long waits: 15 minutes to be seated; over 1 hour for food at the table. Most people had not been served. A couple left saying they had waited 1 hour.15 minutes. But at least we weren't any worse off than ALL the others seated on the top floor outside. The food is good, but the service awful when they're overwhelmed. We were served over 1 hour and 15 minutes after our reservation time. It's a hard business, so we appreciate the problems they suffer. BUT, a few apologies, especially from the proprietors, would go a long way to reduce customer anger & irritation. Our overworked waitress did apologize. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Had a dinner with friends. When
the onion soup came out I was worried about the rest of the meal. The cheese on the soup was not melted and the onion in the soup not carmelized. The salads where ok probably the best part of our meal. We ordered the beef stew served on puréed potato , the potatoes must have been instant so sad. "
Dined on 4/25/2014
i couldn't get into the well known
brunch places in berkeley, la note, venus cafe, etc.; was able to get in here, to my surprise. it was actually my surprise because the ambiance was great, the menu very good; as good as any of the other well known spots. the only down spot was that their service is spread too thin. they need more help. if they had that, their service would be better and i would have given them a 5 star rating"
Dined on 4/20/2014
This is becoming more and more
popular for good authentic French food at good prices, nice atmosphere, friendly owners and staff, nice light though the windows, cheery, above average food on top of that. Go there often, one of those "go to" places. "
Dined on 4/18/2014
I had my girlfriend over, and we
loved it! There were not that many people eating on a Saturday night, so it was really pleasant and quiet, we had a great, romantic evening."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Overall food was great, except
certain sauces for the food was not served with the food ( I think they just forgot it). I love the caesar's salad, just perfect. The entrees were great too and so goes with dessert --- great macaroons and profitoles. I would surely go back to this restaurant."
Dined on 3/30/2014
Very very slow service. It seemed
that they are extremely understaffed."
Dined on 3/30/2014
A neighborhood gem tucked away off
the beaten path. There are very few quality brunch places in the area that take online reservations, luckily this is one of them. The food is always wonderful. The service is a touch slow, but it's because they are always busy. The food is top notch, and not very expensive. It's a nice open space, my group got to enjoy watching the rain while we drank hot coffee. The city parking meters outside are weird, they only seem to give you about 20 minutes a time (yes, I pushed all the buttons). We'll definitely be coming back."
Dined on 3/29/2014
this is a welcoming space with
great outdoor seating on upstairs deck as well as downstairs in the shared courtyard. Service was attentive and there was none of the loud music others have mentioned. The salad (Caesar) was very good, just the right amount of dressing, crisp romaine (though cut, not torn); boeuf bourguinon was tasty and a satisfying portion. It was also served at the right temperature (hot). The rack of lamb was somewhat disappointing as it was lukewarm,, verging on cold, by the time it arrived at the table. Also, at the price, I had expected the chops to be a little more substantial. Would love to return and try for lunch or breakfast."
Dined on 3/9/2014
Thanks for making an excellent
croque monsieur! It's something that is difficult to find these days in the Bay Area. In addition, theEeggs Benedict were also quite good. We'll return for brunch in the future."
Dined on 3/2/2014
This open spacious and friendly
venue was a pleasing destination on a rainy night. There weren't many other diners, which says either people hadn't discovered it yet, or the neighbors expect more. The bar was lively with patrons watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The penne pasta with pesto, sun dried tomatoes and a few prawns was good comfort food. My dining partner's entree was scallops with tomato sauce, but it was more like tomato paste without the seasoning. The vegetable gratin was very good though. The wine list descriptions gave a grape and region of France - in French, but the French don't use a single grape in their wines and the only thing the waiter could tell me was that he likes red with everything - obnoxious."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Fresh and delicious salad,tasty
satisfying pasta. very pleasant ambience and thoughtful service. a real find in a neighborhood that has lots of good places to eat."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Charming, light filled spaced with
great food. If you're looking for an authentic croque monsieur, look no further. This one's terrific."
Dined on 1/19/2014
If you must go to this restaurant,
be sure to find out if music is on the menu.....deafening live music that ruined an already dubious dinner. We were seated promptly but it took 45 minutes for bread to appear and a hour and 15 minutes for our food to arrive. And when it did arrive, it was only mediocre. The setting is very attractive, the prices are modest and our waiter was apologetic, but the evening was not a hit. I regret having to give such a negative review but we regretted setting foot in La Fable."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Oh la lah, the lamb chops were
perfect, the zucchini side was fabulously light, the drinks were of a good size, and the music and posters gave a warm ambiance to a girls night out at the theater."
Dined on 1/11/2014
La Fable revamped their menu and
improved many items...the File Mignon has 2 options for butter (yummy). The lamb chops are served with couscous and on the night that we attended, they served an excellent zucchini gratin. I also tried the goat cheese salad - excellent."
Dined on 12/23/2013
We had a group dinner of 20
people. Every meal and drink arrived on time, very attentive staff and the food was very delicious. Will come back here for sure."
Dined on 12/16/2013
I loved their roof top patio area
and the food was great! The location is a bit further from the main Berkeley craziness so that was also really refreshing. We will definitely be back here with our pup and for more of the bread basket! Good coffee too!"
Dined on 11/16/2013
Have eaten here multiple times.
Great food. Attentive service, and great atmosphere. Also kid friendly!"
Dined on 11/11/2013
La Fable is a much more pleasant
restaurant than its predecessor. It's bright, clean, and inviting. I had a tasty filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, delicious zucchini gratin, and a nicely-dressed salad of baby greens for a very reasonable price. My partner had a salad of baby greens (which could have had a bit more dressing, but less is better than overdressed), shrimp with a lovely pesto sauce and sun-dried tomatoes."
Dined on 11/6/2013
Relatively newly opened, it's a
neighborhood gem. In one week I went for lunch and for dinner (different days.) The cheese plate had very 5 generous servings of ripe and tasty cheese choices. We easily shared the Cesar salad. The onion soup was rich and delicious. Beef Bourguigon super tender with just about the best mashed potatoes I've tasted. Good wait staff. Moderately priced for repeat business. I'll be back."
Dined on 10/11/2013
Looks like a new fun spot for
brunches...excellent French style omelets and cheese...the only way I like omelets and cheese. =Looking forward to other experiences, like lunch and dinner."
Dined on 9/29/2013
La Fable is an intimate spot with
a sound level that will allow quiet conversation. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. My wife and I shared the cheese plate, which was excellent. This would be a great place for a romantic meal in North Berkeley. Service was excellent, without being overbearing. A great find."
Dined on 9/14/2013
downstairs had music, upstairs
quieter and great deck. Staff quite nice and attentive. Lobster bisque delicious, good cold Macon Village."
Dined on 9/13/2013
This restaurant can be good and it
can be mediocre. The owner is very nice and it is close to our home, which is nice. We have had a couple of mediocre to bad food there and will try it again as we would like to see it exceed."
Dined on 9/7/2013
Very intimate atmosphere, with
music on the background and very attentive staff. Several options for sitting - by the bar, in the main dining room on the bench with pillows ,or low chairs around a coffee table; outside under umbrellas, or upstairs. We came early and did not get to listen to the full music program, only listen to the group rehearsal. Next time, will get the music schedule. Food was great, no long pauses between the dishes. I asked for a horseradish with my lamb chops, and our waiter gladly found it. They will gladly accommodate your choice of side dish or way of cooking your order. Friendly, non-starch environment on a quiet street (easy parking). Will be back to explore the menu."
Dined on 9/7/2013
Had a great evening at La Fable on
Saturday night. Service was perfect--didn't feel rushed through the meal. My filet mignon was perfectly cooked and the french onion soup was delicious. My partner had the beef bourguignon with a salad to start and he said both were very good. There was an excellent jazz trio that really made the evening for us. Highly recommend!"
Dined on 8/24/2013
The food was great, the staff
friendly and the band was excellent. This place has become one of our favorites!"
Dined on 8/10/2013
Loved the hot tea presentation!
Service was a bit slow, but it could have been an exception -- not the rule. Definately a chick restaurant -- a fabulous place to meet a friend or two for lunch."
Dined on 8/3/2013
This was our first dinner at La
Fable, and our experience was mixed. My husband and I shared a charcuterie and cheese plate: we both enjoyed the cheeses, but my husband, while enjoying some of the charcuterie, missed having some mustard, and couldn't get the waitress' attention to request some. I enjoyed the goat cheese and greens salad I selected as an entree, but my husband said that his steak, while cooked to his liking, was only lukewarm, and his fries were barely done. He did however particularly enjoy a glass of 2009 cabernet which he said was perfect with the steak. We'll definitely try this restaurant again, and will probably order from the pasta menu, which they have been serving longer than the meat entrees."
Dined on 8/2/2013
This is a lovely new place that
we've been to 3x now. Really loved the French onion soup. Varied menu provides happy choices for all. Friendly staff."
Dined on 7/26/2013
Service with a smile, but
incompetent.Food was mediocre,especially for the price. Had to send a dish back, the beef stew was super dry. It took 20 minutes for pasta to be served while we waited, not too bad, but was disappointed when, after only eating half of my meal, as everyone else had finished theirs, I asked for it to be wrapped to go...and they accidentally threw it out. I was charged for it anyway. That should never have happened."
Dined on 7/10/2013
We happily discovered that we can
still order items that are not on the menu: 1) Sweet Cheese Crepes, and 2) Eggs Benedict. However, the availability of these off-menu items depends on which chef works that day (only Modesto knows how to make these items really well), and which waitress works that day (only Alma knows exactly how to order the items, and how to serve them best). This means we have to always call ahead of time to check on availability, and I wish those items were just put on the regular menu since they are the reason we come to this restaurant."
Dined on 7/6/2013
Made a reservation for a Sunday at
10am for our monthly ladies brunch (read: gossip session ;). We arrived early and were seated right away, even though one was running late. The menu was great; a nice selection of both standard breakfast and lunch entrees, as well as some specialty items. I had Eggs Florentine and was very happy. The mimosas were made with fresh squeezed orange juice and the coffee was great too; just strong enough, nice & hot, and my cup was never empty. The other ladies all ordered breakfast as well and were also happy with their meals. The real star here was the service. Always there when you needed something but never hovering. Even on a Sunday morning, they didn't rush us out and we were able to sit and gab away!"

ill be starting 5/3/1 mon. ive heard it is great for raw strength. im trying to also add decent mass. will this be easy ass long as my diet is sufficient? if not what supplemental lifts should be incorporated to get the results i want? any input will be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.
eat BIG! lift BIG! sleep BIG! BE BIG! Hard work pays off!
I would lay it out like this:
3 days per week, A-B-C-D
Pick ONE exercise per body part...I am just listing more than 1 as an example. Do 1 to 3 sets of 8-10 reps on each one.
Upper 1:
Bench 5/3/1
Shoulder variation, whatever u want...standing/seated BB press, seated DB press, lateral raises...whatever you want.
Pullup variation...pronated, supinated, or neutral.
Rowing variation...db rows, barbell rows, seated rows
Optional, tricep movement
Lower 1:
Deads 5/3/1
Quad movement...pick one. Squats, leg press, lunges, front squats, etc
Ab movement
Calf movement
Optional Bicep movement
Upper 2:
Military Press 5/3/1
Chest movement...bench, db bench, dips
Pullup variation...pronated, supinated, or neutral.
Rowing variation...db rows, barbell rows, seated rows
Optional, tricep movement
Lower 2:
Squats 5/3/1
Hamstring movement...lying/seated leg curls, sumo leg press, SLDLs, good mornings, etc. If doing SLDLS or Good Mornings, keep the weight light and the reps high so you don;t burn out for next deadlifting session.
Ab movement
Calf movement
Optional Bicep movement
Boring but big can also work, but it really needs to be a 4 day a week program. If doing the 3 day on boring but big, the frequency just isn't high enough. You will only be hitting a given body part once every 9 days. With the triumvirate, you are hitting each body part TWICE per 9 days.
You may want to look into 'Boring But Big' variation - it is a program that is based off of a 5/3/1 but incorporates additional volume / accessory work for hypertrophy purposes.

This game will be tight throughout. The Falcons' passing game has the potential to be one of the league's best this season, but the Bears will do a solid job of keeping Matt Ryan and his receivers from making big plays downfield. Atlanta's offense will actually function much like it did last season, with Ryan working efficiently but settling mostly for shorter throws while Michael Turner picks up the tough yards on the ground.
Chicago's pass protection will be spotty at times, and RB Matt Forté will be kept in check for the most part by an Atlanta defense that will make the Bears rely heavily on Jay Cutler to keep the offense moving.
Prediction: Falcons 24, Bears 21

I still have a problem with item counting ;)
/script print(GnomeWorks:GetFactionInventoryCount(52329))
returns 47, which is the number of volatile life in my mainchars bags.
problem is, my bank alt has additional volatile life in its bank&bags
(119 bags,686 bank)
i removed the saved vars file, logged in on both characters and opened all bags, bank mailbox to scan it.
just volatile life is missing somehow , stormvine and ashbloom are fine as far as i can see.

Sorry for the double post, I've just remembered that I have also noticed recently that the auction scanning & pricing is not as reliable as it was....

It just doesn't tell you it can do it.
For example Enchant Bracer - Exceptional Spirit requires 3 x Greater Celestial Essence and 9 x Hypnotic Dust.
I have loads of hypnotic dust....
I have 20 x Lesser Celestial Essence in my bank but it doesn't recognise that I can do the enchant
3 x Lesser Celestial Essence = 1 Greater Celestial Essence ... therefore it should know that I could make 6 Greater Celestial Essence with 2 Lesser Celestial Essence left over.... which would therefore allow me to craft that particular enchant twice.... but it doesn't think I can make it at all.

Yeoman, I've been wrong before.
But looking at the herb prices on my server (bladefist):
- Icethorn - 2G
- Lichbloom - 2G
- Whiptail - 7G
- Twilight Jasmine - 10G
I'm sure at some point this will reverse, but for now it's cheaper for me to make "ink of the sea" than "blackfallow".
Yeoman Feb 02, 2011 at 05:50 UTC - 0 likes
Quote from ccin1492:
Right now northrend herbs are still cheaper the cata herbs.
You are wrong. Inferno ink prices are so high in AH, that glyphs from cata herbs costs something around 0 g, but glyphs from northrend herbs cost 10-20g, as snowfall ink is almost useless and cheap. So, i don't see anything wrong in GW.Last edited Feb 02, 2011 by Yeoman
ccin1492 Feb 01, 2011 at 19:02 UTC - 0 likes
When building a shopping list for glyphs, is seems the conversion always takes priority. For example, if I queue a glyph that requires ink of the sea, it wants to do a vendor conversion even though buying and milling the herbs and making ink of the sea would be cheaper than making blackfallow ink. Right now northrend herbs are still cheaper the cata herbs.
So logically the priority should be: 1. anything in bag, banks, or alts. (includes either required or blackfallow ink) - use it 2. is required ink on AH below material cost. - buy it 3. is it cheaper to craft required ink than blackfallow, - buy herbs, mill, and craft ink 4. is blackfallow ink on AH below material cost. - buy it 4. buy required ink from vendor using blackfallow. - finally buy herbs, mill, and craft blackfallow ink then purchase required ink.
Something like this. Maybe this has been discussed before but I couldn't find it.

Scrum and other Agile methodologies rely heavily on a set team structure to succeed. In Scrum, you have a team, a ScrumMaster, and a product owner.

When I set out to practice and preach Agile methods, the world looked rosy to me. A team built on qualities that are human made much more sense than a team kept together by command and control. A team where everybody valued each other's individuality and uniqueness yet functioned toward one goal in an orderly manner seemed possible.But at the runway, I realized I didn't have any wings. Why? Because stakeholders were yet to come out of the comfort zone of spreadsheets, where command and control made a lot of sense.

We all start our learning process from our own native-language alphabets. Similarly, I have attempted to create an Agile alphabet (in English) for helping new Agile enthusiasts begin their learning of the common vocabulary. This is not a bible or dictionary of Agile terms; it is a knowledge base. It can always be enhanced to achieve maximum satisfaction and an Agile match-up to the alphabet.

The Chronicle
Oskaloosa — Representatives from the county governments of Jasper, Mahaska, Marion and Poweshiek met Thursday afternoon in Oskaloosa to discuss the group's regional mental health district.
Last year, the Iowa Legislature passed Senate File 2513, which forced individual counties to join with at least two other contiguous counties to form mental health districts. This is part of mental health reform in Iowa, intended to pool resources in the hopes of providing better service to those in need. If counties failed to join or form a district, the State will dictate a region for that county.
The four counties mentioned voluntarily joined each other last year. In the months since, communication has existed between each county's Central Point Coordinator (CPC) and the Iowa Department of Human Services.
Elected officials in attendance were briefed regarding what has been discussed thus far, and what their next moves should be. The CPC's had prepared proposed structures for a governing board for the district, which is expected to include one member of each county's Board of Supervisors to represent his or her county.
Jasper County has already appointed its representative, Supervisor Joe Brock. The other three counties have not designated their representatives, though these boards intend to have the appointments on their next meeting agendas.
Though each county will have an appointed representative, the new region will require a 28E agreement that must be ratified by all four counties. Input into this agreement, and its approval in each county, will be done so by entire Boards of Supervisors.
Studies are being done to measure what requirements for employment will be necessary for the board to function. Julie Jetter, Community Systems Consultant, MHDS Division of the DHS, was asked what role CPC's will play with the new region. She said she believed the role of the CPC in each county will evolve, and will ultimately depend upon the structure of the district's management. According to Jetter, when everything is prepared for the district, there will be plenty of work to do.
The four counties are expected to pool their resources for the new mental health district. This includes money raised through county property tax levies. Though nothing is finalized, the CPC's indicated that funding levels established for each county will be based on an equal per capita amount. This money would be collected and pooled to fund mental health services in all four counties. Details of this will be worked out in the final 28E agreement.
Jetter was asked if paying staff for the new regional mental health district model would take money away from providing mental health service to residents in need. Her response was that she "didn't think so" and that administering the new process could be done so with the current level of funding specified for this.
The fiscal aspect of the mental health district is still in limbo. No one, not even DHS, knows what kind of impact changes to Medicaid will have on mental health or County funding for such programs.
Scrutiny has increased for regional boards, such as the one that will govern this mental health district, has intensified in the years since the discovery that the paid, unelected director of the Central Iowa Employment Training Consortium (CIETC) misused hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. The proposed structures provided to those in attendance today resembled the composition of the now-defunct CIETC board. When asked about it, Jetter said the legislation that created this new mental health system clearly defines the level of accountability necessary for mental health districts. She said transparency is a key part of the future of this system and all meetings with the board will be open to the public. CIETC's board meetings were also open.
Marion County Supervisor Mark Raymie agreed that transparency is vital to the success of this endeavor. He spoke on behalf of the Marion County Board, and believes the sentiment of the other boards of supervisors, when he said that protecting taxpayer money, including prudent stewardship, is their top priority.
Services provided by current county mental health systems also vary. For instance, Poweshiek County reportedly offers services beyond those available to residents in the other counties. Addressing this issue, and determining what services will be provided by the mental health district, will be done during the 28E process.
This region also meets state requirements for having a mental health center with qualified providers, a hospital with an inpatient psychiatric unit or state mental health institute nearby. Letters from these providers in each county will also be necessary for the formation of the district.
Supervisors said they found today's meeting productive, and they have an idea of what they should do next, in each of their counties, before another joint meeting is held.
"It's great to have a working relationship with our neighboring counties," Brock said. Jasper County residents may see a property tax reduction as a result of the district's formation.
Mahaska County Supervisor Mark Doland said he believed the CPC's had goals in mind for the meeting which helped the gathering's productivity. He believes more information will be needed and his board will keep up with changing mandates.
"I believe the meeting accomplished what it was supposed to accomplish," Doland said.
The state's deadline for each region to become functioning is June 30, 2014. This district could choose to be operating, as a region, prior to then if it so desires.

And changes everything...
Economic indicators are up, weekly unemployment claims have fallen dramatically and U.S. housing starts jumped up 12.1% in December.
According a recent Bloomberg article, Corporate Profits Soar, profits have grown 171% during the past four years and are at their highest relative level since the government began keeping records in 1947.
What do business leaders cite as the source of their historic profitability?
According to Bloomberg, "low labor costs in an era of high unemployment, the Federal Reserve's easy-money policies, and their own management savvy for the profit boom."
Unemployment is down and profits continue to rise. The Federal Reserve's easy-money policies remain in place. Management, however, continues to exploit employee's unemployment fears to keep labor costs low – that's your salary – and their profits high.
You know what that means, right?
It's time to negotiate a raise.
Here's the rub for women.
First, we don't tend to ask for assorted reasons, including the "blow back" we experience when we violate our gender role by asking for something for ourselves.
We're presumed to be mothers, you'll recall. Either pre-mothers, mid-mothers, post-mothers, or, most self-sacrificing and unconditionally loving, grandmothers. Even those of us who haven't given birth often have step-children or nieces and nephews. We're responsible for holding the family together which in turn holds the world together.
And that means we shouldn't be asking for anything for ourselves or our fragile occasional peace and often strained care-taking duties will falter and fail.
So, please. Don't underestimate the power of gender blow-back. These stereotypes – often accurate – are vital to most people's sense of safety, comfort and well-being.
Now, one of the co-authors of the ground-breaking Women Don't Ask, Linda Babcock, has co-authored yet another important analysis of women's negotiation strategies with a focus on finding the ones that work.
I hope you get a raise.
As women, the most powerful tool we can use to dissipate the hold the cultural hand cuffs the "Blow- Back" phenomena has on us, is to be aware of and present to the cultural conversations that we grew up with "The mental models" that undermine our confidence and our ability to ask for what we want and for what we are worth.
The "Blow- Back" phenomena is deeply embedded in the culture and will take all of us working together and supporting each other as global leaders to be reflective and raise our awareness of this deeply rooted issue.
Ilene Fischer
Founder/ CEO WomenLEAD
Ilene, I am so wholeheartedly with you, as I know Victoria is. She often quotes this passage … "A rising tide lifts all boats." Let's connect by all channels!
This is a fascinating piece. I understand the sexist principle that it's okay for women to ask for something for others (their children, for example) but not themselves. Your hypothesis is that unless women asking for a raise, "ingratiate" themselves first, they will be "socially punished" at work. I don't disagree, but I'd appreciate examples of social punishment at work.

I've often thought about going back to school for an advanced degree.
Not very hard, and not without laughing, but I have thought of it.
But now an organization on the island of Cyprus can fulfill that dream without it even taking much effort.
I'm not sure how the email with the offer got through our junk mail screening system here, but it is a great offer.
"We are pleased to announce that based on a thorough review of your previous academic record the Board at Global Doctorate Council has approved you as a 'Professional Member.' You are among the 3 percent working professional in the regions who qualified under the evaluation system," the offer noted, complete with grammatical errors.
It offered me the globally recognized title of Dr. Wally Spiers.
Actually, if I were to get a doctorate, I would hope it had my actual, more dignified first name, Wallace, on it. They should throw in my middle initial, "L" as well.
But I guess I have to take what I can get.
My status is currently temporary, the offer notes. I need only to take "A short Telephonic interview with our evaluator," (capitalization theirs) and submit verification of my last degree earned.
Since my last (and only) degree is a BS, I'm thinking I am quite a few hours of advanced study away from a doctorate.
But who knows?
They also need an updated cell number for an interview. It's nice to know they need a personal connection and don't just give these things to anybody with an email address.
No mention is made of money but I can't imagine this is free. But no matter the cost, it wouldn't be worth the paper it is printed on.
I also have trouble believing the offer amounts to much due to one of the conditions it includes.
"NOTE: Candidates must respond to this email for an interview before June 31st. Any delay shall result in cancellation of your Membership and your status will be marked as "Not Verified" in the system."
It was signed, "Dr. Dustin Brown, Director Global Doctorate Council.
Maybe I'm being overly skeptical. Dr. Brown and the council reside on Cyprus where there may be a June 31st, for all I know.
But I'm not counting on it. I'll just have to stay a BS, so to speak.
Have a column idea? Call Wally at 239-2506 or 800-642-3878; or email: email@example.com

Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom - Oct. 11th Health Notes
October 3, 2010
Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else's. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history.
With the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom.
Written with neurologist Richard Mendius, M.D., and with a Foreword by Daniel Siegel, M.D. and a Preface by Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom joins modern science with ancient teachings to show you how to have greater emotional balance in turbulent times, as well as healthier relationships, more effective actions, and greater peace of mind.
Kinshasha will share an invigorating conversation with author and researcher Rick Hanson.

Renowned Blackstaff Tower exists steps away from sinister Undermountain, which is still deadly more than a hundred years after the Mad Mage Halaster's death. This article presents three new character themes that, although, tied to Waterdeep, are not restricted to the Forgotten Realms setting—they can be adapted for use in any campaign.
