Packrats Plunders
Delft Holland 9 ½" Deco Vase. This is an unusual color & pattern for Delft. I have never seen name or a description of it, so the best I can offer is that it is turquoise and a chrome-like charcoal color, in a pattern that resembles roots and fissures in rock. I know from having a damaged piece in the past that the base clay is a whitish, somewhat soft, powder-like clay. This and many of the pieces I have seen are trimmed with actual brass fittings...

Window 8, Motocast, and USB Problem
Thought I post this to share: I just bought a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite with Window 8) and noticed that the computer would not recognize my external SD card (internal SD recognized). I was going nuts trying to figure out what was going on, since my HP laptop with Window 7 recognized the external SD card just fine. Then reading through the forums, I realized that I had deleted Motocast app that originally came with the phone, since I never use it and always had to X it out. When I reinstalled Motocast app via Google Play, the Toshiba recognized my external SD card as well as my internal SD card. Had no idea that Motocast played such an important role in syncing with the computer. Thought I pass the info along for those who bought new computer with Window 8.

NASA engineers build a cannon that launches dead chickens at the windshields of airplanes, military jets and such to test the strength of the windshields against collisions with airborne fowl.
British engineers are eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains. Arrangements are made, and a cannon is sent to the British engineers.
When the cannon goes off, the engineers stand shocked as the chicken crashes into the shatterproof shield, smashes it to smithereens, blasts through the control console, snaps the pilot's backrest in two, and embeds itself in the back wall of the cabin.
The horrified Brits send the Americans a report of the disastrous results, along with an urgent request for suggests on improving the windshield design.
The American engineers respond with a one-line memo: "Thaw the chicken."

You'd be hard-pressed to find two better young men than Matt Duchene and Cody Hodgson. They are like genetic lab-creations of what Canada wants its hockey players to be: ridiculously talented, passionate, hard-working, team-first guys. And for the Hockey Moms out there, they are also polite, modest, well-spoken, and I can pretty much guarantee they'll have your daughter home on time.
You'd also be hard-pressed to find two hockey lives so intertwined. Two careers, twinned since Tyke.
Until now, that is.
Over the last month, their parallel paths took hard turns in different directions. One is skating on clouds, playing big minutes on the NHL's surprise team. The other is at home, off skates until a doctor says otherwise, thinking next year can't come soon enough.
First, the back-story.
Duchene and Hodgson both grew up in the small town of Haliburton, Ontario. There was only one Tyke rep team there, so both were on it with six year-old Cody at centre and five year-old Matt on his wing; the weak-ankled beginnings of a lifelong friendship, built on a shared dream.
''We talked about it all the time playing mini-sticks as kids, going to the NHL some day,'' says Hodgson. ''But I guess you never really believe it would happen to both of us.''
Hodgson would move south to Markham after those Tyke years, but the two would play against each other all winter, then team up again in the summer on a travelling team coached by Duchene's father. The team was called 'Kids Love Hockey', after the sponsor. Appropriate name.
''Those were great times,'' Hodgson says. ''We had a ton of fun.''
''We won just about everything,'' adds Duchene. ''It was awesome.''
Hodgson was drafted by the OHL's Brampton Battalion in 2006. Sure enough, Brampton also called Duchene's name one year later.
Through junior, they were teammates in the winter, and training partners in the summer - two kids/one obsession/365 days a year.
''We still have our cottage near Haliburton so I'd ride my bike down in the summer, work out, and then shoot pucks at Matt's place,'' says Hodgson. ''He has a great set-up; a goalie he built in shop class that has all the same holes a goalie in the butterfly has. It was amazing.''
Duchene even had special headgear - mosquito nets to fight off those pesky cottage-country predators.
Those endless summer days fighting bugs and firing pucks paid off big-time. Hodgson was drafted 10th overall by Vancouver in 2008. Duchene went 3rd overall to Colorado one June later.
The perfect ending would have been for both to make their NHL teams this season; live the dream together. It was Hodgson, most believed, who had the best shot to stick. He already had one pro camp under his belt, and had been sensational at the World Juniors. Duchene was still just a pup at 18.
But that's when things went askew.
Hodgson hurt his back training in the summer. At camp, he was diagnosed with a herniated disc, but cleared to play. Yet he never felt right. All the power seemed to have bled from his legs.
The Canucks sent him back to Brampton. He was crushed.
A second opinion from The Cleveland Clinic confirmed the herniated disk. But doctors there recommended he stay off skates indefinitely.
Then it got worse. Canucks coach Alain Vigneault inferred Hodgson was using the injury as an excuse for a poor camp, trying to ''roll the (blame) in a different direction.''
It was an odd thing to say about your franchise's #1 prospect. Some twisted motivational technique, perhaps.
The words stung the kid. But he refuses to fire back - saying something negative about the organization that drafted him is not in Hodgson's DNA.
''The Canucks medical staff has been very supportive of everything I've done,'' he says. Besides that, he'd rather not talk about it.
Meanwhile, it was a fall fantasy for Matt Duchene. Joe Sakic had retired, and the Avs were rebuilding. There were jobs to be had. He had a great camp, made the team, and quickly left little doubt he would be staying beyond every junior player's magic number of ten games.
''I'm just ecstatic about everything,'' Duchene says. ''I'm living the dream. I remember my second pre-season game against St. Louis, I was taking the face-off against Keith Tkachuk, and Paul Kariya was on his wing. I have a picture of me with Paul Kariya when I was eight years old at Maple Leaf Gardens. I treasured that growing up. Now I look over and he's on the wing against me. Unreal.''
And as if he needed more to be pumped about, his team leads the Western Conference.
So here we are. The boyhood pals from Haliburton, whose careers had matched each other stride for stride, are suddenly in very different places. Literally, and emotionally.
''I know it's been really tough on Cody,'' says Duchene. ''I gave him his space for a while when he was sent back. But he texted me after we beat Vancouver, and after I scored my first goal, just to say congrats. He's such a character guy, he'll be fine.''
Hodgson is getting a little closer to 'fine' every day. His back is finally starting to feel right again. He hopes to be cleared to skate next week. And the fact his old Tyke winger is 'living the dream' without him is anything but a downer.
''I'm thrilled to see Matt doing so well. In fact, watching him and JT (John Tavares) and Del Zotto all have success, it energizes me. Because I played with those guys, so when they do well up there, I know I can, too.''

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Elaine44 Cooler stays colder than any other I had bought a 36qt Xtreme Coleman cooler last year and loved it so much I bought another one this year At first I bought a 70 qt one but the insulation way thinner so I took it back and got another 36qt with a thicker insulation that I could only find at Dicks.I freeze 1/2 gal. milk bottles and the ice lasted more than 4 days. I found ice cubes don't last as long. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by John1 Not a bad cooler I bought this cooler just before going on a road trip. Ice retention was good, not great and might have been better if the water had not have leaked out. The cooler was full, food and ice about 50/50. A defect in the drain was the cause. The back of my SUV got wet to say the least. The cooler will be returned and hopefully Dicks will have another to replace it. October 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by AmyLee3 Excellent Cooler! My whole family owns one of these so I decided it's finally time to have one for myself. I used it over the weekend with temps around 85. I only had to put ice in it once and it kept everything cool. Many summers to come! June 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Josh4507 3 Days max!! can fill it to the very top with ice and only get 3 days with good ice and cold water and a little bit of ice on fourth day June 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Medic Excellent cooler Stays cold and I saved a lot of money on ice. The higher price was well worth it considering how much I saved on buying ice. Works great in a canoe on long hot days! May 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by Hrlyfx1 Coleman cooler It says it will hold ice for 5 days in 90 degree temps but only held for about 3 days in 70 degree temps May 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by PW Greatest cooler ever I have a larger coleman extreme and when I saw this smaller one at Dick's I picked it up right away. I took it on a 5 day road trip with me and only filled it with ice once. When I got home the cooler was full of ice. It is a very insulated cooler that keeps things inside cold. You save a lot of money on ice with this guy! October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Yang Awesome Cooler for the money! Easily kept my drinks cold for 3 days. September 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sharp Shooter Works Great.. Lasts 3 Days in Sunlight Keeps Cold 3 Dys in Sunlight August 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Campers This is a great cooler. The cooler keeps the ice for 4-5 day's depending on the heat. It is built thick, so it want break like most coolers. It is priced resonable. I would like it to be bigger, but it is a great cooler. August 4, 2012

Topic - Conditions for basic winter skills
Phil J Booth - on 20 Dec 2012
I'm hoping to take my wife out this side of Christmas to find something white and snowy to start teaching her some basic winter skills.....kicking steps, using crampons, ice axe arrest etc.
Has anybody got any ideas of where there is currently some snow on a suitable hill to learn some of these basic skills?
We live in Manchester, so my plan was to go up to the Lake District, but I'm really not sure where is going to be best as I've not been out yet this winter.
I guess the obvious area is around Helvellyn for snow at the moment, but I'm really just after some gentle slopes to plod up rather than exposed ridge lines or gullies.
Thanks in advance.

The Duke of Edinburgh has missed a church service as his stay in hospital entered its fifth day.
Philip, 91, continued to receive treatment at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a flare-up of a bladder infection while the Queen and the Prince of Wales were among those attending the service at Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral.
The Duke has not received any visits from his relatives after being advised by doctors on Friday to rest, but he is said to have been in regular contact with members of his family by telephone.
He was admitted to the NHS hospital on Wednesday, during his and the Queen's annual summer break at Balmoral. Officials said at the time that he would be in the infirmary for a few days however it remains unclear when he will be discharged.
Buckingham Palace did not issue any updates on the Duke's condition on Saturday, although he was previously said to be responding well to treatment for the recurrence of the infection he suffered in the summer.
His latest health scare comes less than three months after he spent five nights in hospital with a bladder infection following the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames.
He had to miss some of the key celebrations for the Queen's 60-year reign after he was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London the day after braving wet and windy elements on a barge for several hours.
Philip also had a successful procedure to clear a blocked coronary artery in December and was in hospital for four nights over Christmas.
Philip went to Balmoral after attending several Olympic events. He was with the Queen during the opening ceremony and when they toured the Olympic Park.
He then saw his granddaughter Zara Phillips' Olympic equestrian debut and watched boxing a few days later. The Duke also appeared to be in good spirits recently when he took part in events as part of Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight.

The salaries of Toledo's mayor and City Council members will soon be the subject of review.
By law, every four years the city creates a seven-member Salary Review Commission to make recommendations about the salaries and whether they should increase, decrease or stay the same.
The mayor's salary is currently $122,400. In 2009, the commission reduced the salary from $136,000 to its current level.
Council members make $28,000 annually, with council president making $32,500.
Once formed, the commission will examine the salaries and make recommendations to council.
Opinions vary whether or not city leaders are adequately compensated.
"Considering the times and how the economy is, I think they are. Everyone's biting the bullet right now. We need to stick and stay where we're at," said Vincent Smith.
"I don't feel like the mayor does $122,000 worth of work a year. No," said Brandon Jeffers.
The commission will be charged with filing a report to council by April 1, with June 1 being the deadline for salaries to be set for the next four years.

Recently picked up Hypebeast debut magazine titled "The Synthesis Issue". This mag is everything you'd expect from Hypebeast. The mag includes features from Kris Van Assche to Shawn Stussy and lookbooks from brands such as Dior Homme and Human Made. I think print is needed now more than ever because due to the internet everythings on you laptop and its really not yours we need more tangible things, things we can grasp keep and cherish. Its easy to post a blog entry but print is more authentic. Overall this Issue gets a 9/10 Ill share a few contents of the book in the next few post.

Ya for those who listen to all the people who are clueless on how to actualy restart jobs it sounds foreign but in history its factual. The 1869-1882 depression was caused by the the murder of worlds only inventor Isiah Roberts by Edison and Canegie. The great depresion was caused by the patent office cheating my grandfather of all his patents. The 1954 end of the deperssion was caused by my birth and inventons and five recession restarts in each decade were caused by me.
Well yes tempory jobs stimlious has failed as you would expect instead of creating jobs the only way permadent ones ever have been created, large scale invention conception by the wolds only four inventors 1768 to 2012 with adaquate funding for top only projects and progressive instead of retartive patent reform
No the less funded new products entering the market by invention conception means more demand satisfaction and less new jobs. Ben Bernanke never funded our worlds only inventor me!
Te great depression was a patent office patent inventorship fraud induced event. My grandfather had enough of the office putting his patents in the wrong name. The new reform only establishes new methods of cheating the inventor so expect another 24 year or more depression
In response to:
Yup anything over 35% incometax will stall there economy and destroy the incentive to work and prosper and the rob the correct managers of the reinvestment of their money the russian and chineese failed experiments in communism havent sunk in to bad to have an idiot in charge
In response to:
You mean the beginning of the longest depression immaginable. Yes and quite predictable we elect virtual dumies and expect stellar performances for relative peanuts pay. Still no invention conception stimulious means no new products = no new jobs market expansion. Regressive patent reform instead of progressive means the depression continues
One thing that Oboma does is blame the conciever of the invention for failure when they wont even pay him as a consultant after the invention has been stolen from him to begin with
One of the problems is they just set a figure for alternative energy projects then pick the best available projects for investment this means picked over and non viable projects are invested in instead of top projects from top concievers that want to protect there statistical investment odds. The other thing they dont do is have plan b switchovers when original plans become obviously non advanceable
The loan guarantee program has been an enormious failure due to the lack of correct investment due to lack of correct patent reform causing lack of correct projects to work on. This coupled with lack of recognition of the correct top invention concievers to invest with means the depression continues. I restarted the great depression in 1954 and restarted the economy in all five recessions and now were going into the third depression because the idiots in washington wont listen
In response to:
If I was the lifeguard ide sue the employer and insurance co. there policies could have caused a death by malicious regulation and get that job back he should have ordered everyone out of the water before he left though

One of the many projects featured in the double-sized July/August edition of Elektor magazine is an I/O Warrior Expansion Board. The article outlines how to create a multifunctional board sporting a vast number of inputs and outputs, making it ideal for a variety of industrial control applications via a PC.
The small universal interface card uses the IO-Warrior56 Module from Code Mercenaries. You can add it to an old PC, notebook, or laptop in order to convert it into a measurement-and-control hub, making good use of any redundant hardware you have in storage. The versatile chip enables you to automate a building (e.g., your home, greenhouse, microbrewery, etc.) or any quasi-industrial process you've always wanted to put into operation.
Available in the Elektor Store, the preassembled IO-Warrior56 Module provides an easy-to-use, full-speed USB interface and a built-in temperature sensor. It is uncomplicated to talk to using a Visual Basic or C/C++ program. No complex programming! Source code is available that works with the free version of Visual Studio.
The Elektor-designed IO-Warrior Expansion Board is spaciously laid out with through-hole components for easy reproduction at home or in the lab.
Detailed instructions on how to program the IO-Warrior board's peripherals in Visual Basic are found in the Elektor magazine article that's dedicated to the IO Warrior project.
CircuitCellar.com is an Elektor International Media website.

The controversial Conrad Murray documentary debuted in the United Kingdom tonight -- and in it the doctor emphatically states that AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips told him Michael Jackson does not have a "f**king cent!"
Murray claims Phillips pulled him aside after a meeting about the "This Is It" concerts and angrily said ... "What's this bullshit all about? Listen this guy is next to skid row. He's going to be homeless. Nine security guards? Why does he need that? I'm paying for that s**t. I'm paying for the toilet paper he wipes his f**king ass with."
Phillips took the stand during the manslaughter trial and -- under oath -- denied that conversation with Murray ever took place.
"Michael Jackson and the Doctor: A Fatal Friendship" also shows strategy meetings between Murray's lawyers -- Ed Chernoff and Michael Flanagan ... as well as Flanagan's wife, Susan.
During one pow wow Susan says, "Explain a 50-year-old man who sleeps with a baby doll and has pictures of basically infants to 2-year-old children looking at him every night."
Chernoff then says, "I think the media made him appear weirder than he is." Michael responds, "You gotta be kidding me, he can't be any weirder than he is."
In the docu, Murray claims Michael "always had a chamber that was exclusively his. The bedroom that he slept in ... I had to persuade him, eventually to have it cleaned. Because ... one, he peed the bed. It did not smell good. It was mildew, and I had to get it clean."
"Who would ever believe that a man his age would still be wetting his bed?" Murray added it wasn't medication that made MJ wet the bed ... he claims it was psychological.
The documentary airs in the states, Friday night on MSNBC.
Gee, thanks for sharing...really didn't need or want to hear that!!!
I like Chernoff. But Flanagan is an *******.
I thought it was suppose to come on 10 ET. Did I miss it in the US?
omg murray better hope they keep him in jail
This doctor is looking to make money anyway he can, and if MJ was still alive he would be black mailing him! Why do this to MJ and his family, his kid's have been though so much now because of this peice a s@#t Murray! Hope he's enjoying his stay in prison!
Michael was indeed still a child. He could sing like any paid whore, but his mind was still that of a child. :(
As I was watching during the trial, I also noticed the pictures of very young children just sitting on chairs in the bedroom. Were those his kids? Or just random photos of young kids. I found it disturbing. I agree with the the guilty verdict for Conrad Murray, but Michael had some serious psychological issues!!!
It airs Friday in the US
It's easy to make fun of someone, but it seem's harder for people to be kind...
Conrad Murray saved many children from being molested and avenged many more that had already been violated by Michael Jackson the pedophile.
He's a f*cking hero.
Wow, did the auction price of MJs bed just go up? Or down? ....
Who knows what / who to believe?
you know who pees the bed? Young children. You do the math.
I noticed the auction people were very vague when they were discussing the sale of MJ's bed. Stating that they could not sell a used mattress. They did NOT specifically say that the mattress would not be given away with the sale of the bed frame. I'm sure anyone sick enough to want MJ's deathbed would also want the mattress or the sale price would go way down. I think it's sick! If he peed the bed even sicker that the bed is being sold. Who's getting that money? The Jacksons??? Money grubbing freaks!
Why didnt he put a diaper on him?

Photos and Videos
Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams star in the new film from director David O.Russell (""Three Kings") about the rise of boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward.
Christian Bale opened the evening by taking home the Best Supporting Actor prize for his amazing turn in "The Fighter."
Bale was clearly pleased, both to win the award and to finally find out who the Hollywood Foreign Press actually is, a group he had encountered at many press junkets in the past.
"I just usually sat there while you argued amongst yourselves," said Bale. "And now I know who you are and suddenly I realize how wise and perceptive those guys really are."
It was the kind of role that awards voters love, a tortured junkie with messed up teeth and an out-sized personality, and Bale crushed the role of Dickie Eklund, brother of Irish Micky Ward.

Customizing SMF > Forks Discussion
The Forks are here!
<< < (4/8) > >>
Drunken Clam:
--- Quote from: AngelinaBelle on August 17, 2011, 07:07:16 AM ---Wedge.org is currently running an RC version of SMF 2 with a custom theme. The credits came with.
When they are ready to show off their fork, then we'll see their license and who they credit.
--- End quote ---
I think you'll find live627 was referring to Wedge the software, not Wedge.org ::)
Eliana Tamerin:
--- Quote from: DoctorMalboro on August 17, 2011, 07:43:25 AM ---What if I want to fork the SMF's template system and to be still a part of SMF, is it possible?
--- End quote ---
If a fork is open source with a BSD compatible license, then it's entirely possible the SMF team may be interested in exchanging features with forks. Credit will be given as appropriate by the license chosen, but the code may eventually find its way into SMF proper, yes. Will it? That's up to the SMF dev team. You can make a fork and try it.
I think he meant - can he start his own fork, yet remain part of the SMF teams (mod/translator/support/etc)
Answer: yes...
Angelina Belle:
--- Quote from: Drunken Clam on August 17, 2011, 07:51:56 AM ---I think you'll find live627 was referring to Wedge the software, not Wedge.org ::)

That's good to know. I have not seen Wedge the software.
Fantastic move, team! It'd be great to see this board full of interesting topics in a few months. :)

Yes, friends, the jaw harp. Also known as the Jew's harp, the mouth harp, the space harp, or the… chung o_0
It is considered one of the oldest instruments in the world. Now it's best known as one of the many instruments that creates a very twangy sound in Appalachian and bluegrass music. Many people seem to think that this is a simple instrument to play, and it takes little skill. However, I give you nay sayers a true virtuoso on this instrument: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnMXzCGNPSo&feature=related

A Garden Party with Dr. David Fairchild and His Favorite Fruit
by Janet Mosely
David Fairchild observing mangosteen flowers at Summit Garden, Panama. March 25, 1933
August 18, 1945 was a hot, still day filled with mosquitos. That did not deter over 300 garden friends from coming to enjoy a magical fruit introduction orchestrated by Dr. Fairchild. The arrival of mangosteens from Lancetilla, Honduras was the culmination of many years collaboration, hard work and dreaming. Dr. Fairchild announced to the crowd that hot August day "This is a great moment for me. Fifty years ago (in 1895) I tasted a mangosteen in the great garden of Buitenzorg in Java and selected it as, for me at least, the most delicate of all fruits. I made up my mind then that I would introduce it into the United States. Fifty years is a long time. But this is the day."
Dr. Fairchild's prized mangosteens were grown by Wilson Popenoe at Lancetilla and flown in that day, arriving in Miami at noon to be served at five o'clock. Early in the days of the development of refrigerated cargo, the arrival of fresh fruit from so far away was a novelty in and of itself. That it was the fabled favorite fruit of Dr. Fairchild made the tasting even more special. Added to the day's festivities was the very first Fairchild exhibit of Lee Adams' watercolors. He brought his newly finished mango portraits to be admired by the crowds of Fairchild Fellows. The combination of Dr. Fairchild's enthusiasm; the thrill of tasting the exotic mangosteen for the first time; seeing Adams' artwork and enjoying each other's fellowship made for a magical day that has been long remembered by those who attended.

The Wikipedia Project
World of Knowledge
The free encyclopedia project, Wikipedia,has compiled no fewer than a million entries in less than four years. And the quality of the entries even surprises experts. But what is Wikipedia and how can you use it? We'll tell you about the exciting Wikipedia project,and we'll show you how you can contribute.
We cannot stop business from restricting the information it makes available; what we can do is provide an alternative. We need to launch a movement to develop a universal free encyclopedia," said Richard Stallman in 1999, in an essay on a free encyclopedia [1]. Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger Florida talked about the design and launched the Nupedia project in the year 2000. The idea was to allow anyone to submit entries that would then go through a sophisticated editorial process. But the project failed with just a handfull of articles finding their way into the encyclopedia.

My trek to more adult genres has lead me to memoirs. So far I loved one and found the other annoying. While I am thoroughly enjoying the non-fiction storytelling, reviewing real characters is so much harder than fiction.
Saying someone bugged me suddenly feels more personal, ya know?How do you keep it honest but nice when a person in a memoir irritated you?

- Yummy...ResturantManDined on 9/20/2014Food was very good. good portions and flavor. Cramped! in the section that we sat there was not enough room to get between tables to get to your seat without putting your butt on the table next to us. Our waiter was very inexperienced and inattentive. This was not just a problem for my table but all the tables in his section. No manager in sight.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a Gem!YumyumVIPDined on 9/20/2014Always bringing friends to dine here with us and they always love it. The staff is very friendly and remembers us when we come in. They always hold our favorite table! We always get the octopus and the branzino, never disappoints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- GloriaVIPDined on 9/9/2014This is such a wonderful modern Greek restaurant that I think I've been to ,well....ALOT! I really have to order SOMETHING other that the Taverna steak/sausage salad, but it is SOOOOO great that it's hard not too! Those daily combos are the most amazing buy you will EVER find;ambiance is teriffic, and eating on the roof -do so when possible! The Maitre D is as good a reason to go as the foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Modern GreekHungryMan25Dined on 9/6/2014Coming from a Greek background it was a pleasantly surprising twist on some traditional dishes. The flavors really popped in every item ordered. Only critique is that they go a little to heavy with the use of garlic and onions, but doesn't ruin the meal. Good meal all around and Mae sure to save some room for some delicious Greek desserts!Special Features:
- Bad ServiceFoodluverDined on 9/5/2014I really wanted to like this restaurant. Although the food itself was good (not great) the service was very disappointing. We got only one round of drinks because our waitress never came back around to ask us if we needed another drink, OR to fill our glasses with water. Once our food was served, she only once came back to ask if we wanted to see the dessert menu. We ordered dessert which was very good! Baklava with ice cream. Only once we were done with our dessert she asked if we wanted coffee. I wouldn't say the restaurant or the food is horrible... just not a great experience.
- FantasticYumyumVIPDined on 9/5/2014Repeat customer, best food, great friendly service. Go and try. Get the grilled octopus and the fries!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dining Experiencesari34Dined on 9/5/2014The food here is phenomenal. Everything we had was great! The atmosphere and the decor of the restaurant was classy and comfortable.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 9/1/2014Service was non-existent, mama's pork meatballs were raw & octopus was the worst I've ever had. The best part of our meal was the wine & we had to refill our own glasses.
- MichaelVIPDined on 8/29/2014The potential is there but it is never special just an OK place. The most bizarre lunch special every. Menu states we serve your dessert with your lunch which is weird especially as it is a yogart based dessert. Is it that much work to wait? Especially if others in the party aren't doing the special.
- Red4VIPDined on 8/25/2014A one hour wait for an ordered well done lamb burger was enough for me to change my normal weekly visit to a no-go. By the way, when it was finally served it was rare. I will try again since previous visits were good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- YUMMY! AS USUAL!MsDoc1Dined on 8/24/2014Freshly prepared fish, delicious salad..super chicken and burgers. Courteous at all times! Can't go wrong!Special Features:

- Enjoyable Experiencefoodman13VIPDined on 8/15/2014Ordered fish. It was fresh and prepared quite nicely. Sat on the outdoor deck. The weather was lovely, the view on the parking lot wasn't. MP presents Greek food with a nice, current twist on it. I will go back.Special Features:
- Go to another restaurantMarcoVIPDined on 8/14/2014The service was very slow and the place was almost empty. The food is edible but not well seasoned nor well presented. Special requests were graciously accepted but the kitchen paid no attention to following them. The employees are very nice but the rest was a very poor experience
- Wonderful BrunchJohnDined on 8/10/2014My beautiful wife and I had brunch at MP Taverna in Roslyn on Sunday morning. Arrived @12 PM and it was virtually empty. My wife had a breakfasts wrap and I had the "Country Cast Iron Breakfast", which was out of this world (particularly that lamb sausage!). It came with a delicious salad of cucumbers, feta, tomato, and green beans. Price was reasonable and the service was superb. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Greek Restaurant - No FetaOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/9/2014Food was good, service very good, but they ran out of Feta cheese? Come on, there are 2 other Greek Restaurants within walking distance. That can't happen.Special Features:
- another great mealvegetarianVIPDined on 8/6/2014we have eaten at this restaurant often, and always find all aspects of the dining experience quite outstanding. on this weekday evening, the usual noise level was much more tolerable, which is usually our only complaint! the service, the food, the ambience, all up to par. Even parking on the street was easy. Guess Wednesday's are a good night at PM Taverna!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top notch!!YumyumVIPDined on 8/6/2014The food here is outstanding. Our first time and will definitely return. Service was very friendly. Had the branzino as my entree and octopus as my appetizer. The best octopus I ever had. Try and enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply GoodWassDined on 8/3/2014Food is fresh and delicious. Welcoming atmosphere. Comfortable dining rooms. Wait staff well trained. Owner/manager always stops by the table to assure all is well. Nice touch!Special Features:
- Salty Lamb ChopsFoodforthoughtDined on 8/2/2014It was my first time there and it came recommended, but I would not recommend it. I ordered the lamb chops which were on Specials Menu. They were cooked as ordered except they were so salty and that was a big turn off. The smashed fries that came with them were somewhat cold. Overall disappointed, especially for the price.
- Normally betterKarenessVIPDined on 7/28/2014We have been here several times, and it is always good...except this time. My son ordered the special...shrimp with 3 cheeses. It had exactly 2 shrimp in the dish...and they came with the heads on (not an attractive presentation.) My husband and I ordered whole fish. It was cold, as were my veggies. We asked for it to be warmed, and it came back just as cold as when it went back. When we complained to the waiter, he did nothing about it.Special Features:
- Manager righted the shipfoodieVIPDined on 7/26/2014dined here on Sat. Evening. Sat outside. Scene was comfortable and relaxing. After 45 minutes, realized that had not gotten our appetizers. Service stayed down hill from there. Entrees arrived without special vegetable of the day, which we all ordered, instead fingerling potatoes were substituted. When we explained to waiter that we did not order potatoes his response was that kitchen "ran out of "brussel sprouts". We suggested that he should had informed us of this before the food came out, to which he responded that he had just found out. We called on the manager who not only apologized for the problem, but quickly arranged for substitute green vegetables, for the four of us and a fresh piece of Salmon for one. May try againSpecial Features:
- AmazingMareDined on 7/26/2014The most amazing Greek restaurant I have ever dined at. The food was off the charts with a very creative chef and menu. Not traditional Greek but Greek with a creative flair. The mussels, grilled octopus, and fish dishes were to die for! I do not live near the restaurant. It is roughly 45 minutes from where I live but if I had to walk there next time, honestly I would. It was that terrific! I am returning in two weeks to take some friends out for dinner. I want to share this "jewel" with them! Thank you for such a fabulous meal with great service!Special Features:
- A wonderful surpriseBabsDined on 7/26/2014We are always looking for a new place to dine alone and that is also appropriate to take family and/or friends. MP Taverna is it! We have gone to Astoria for authentic Greek food and have been disappointed - MP Taverna was EXCEPTIONAL - the food was fabulous, pleasant atmosphere and great service! We will be back - again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outside Even BetterDLPGDined on 7/19/2014Always love coming here. It's one of the first restaurants I think of when going out with others who haven't been here. I've always had a delicious meal...you can't go wrong with anything ordered. I was thrilled to see that there are now more traditional Greek desserts on the menu. Went on a gorgeous Saturday night and loved eating outside on the rooftop!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well prepared food & great serviceBozoVIPDined on 7/16/2014I have dined here in the past and was impressed by the food (specifically Branzino) and was thrilled to see they still offered my favorite fish and offered a variety of options. I like that the entree choices allow you to select a small salad or side dish rather than force you into the choice the chef dictates. The wine special was tasty and a great bargain. Service was exemplary. Try to visit on a week nite when the noise level is much lower.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great lunch spotLorraineDined on 7/15/2014Visiting from out of town and met some local friends for lunch. Had a Greek salad with chicken. Very fresh tasting. The chicken was a bit dry, but overall the meal was very nice. The service was terrific.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

McCain's Latest Desperate Move: Obama's a Red, a Socialist (who will take all of your money and nationalize your toothbrush)
Yes, well, I know, it's all very confusing. Red states are supposed to be Republican states and Blue ones Democratic. But McCain and his surrogates are running around suggesting that Obama is a socialist, which is of course just a kinder and gentler word for communist or Red. In any case, socialist/communist, what difference does it make if McCain feels that he can use the epithet to help him defeat Obama. Here is McCain's latest campaign "strategy" as reported in today's Los Angeles Times.
By Bob Drogin and Mark Z. Barabak, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
October 19, 2008
CONCORD, N.C. — John McCain sharpened his attack on presidential rival Barack Obama's economic proposals Saturday, accusing the Democrat of seeking to turn the United States into a socialist country and convert the IRS into a giant "welfare agency" that would dole out cash at Washington's discretion….McCain, delivering a national radio address before setting out for stops Saturday in North Carolina and Virginia, said Obama's approach sounded "a lot like socialism."
McCain's claim is patently absurd. Increasing income taxes on Americans making over 250,000 a year–by making their rates equivalent to what they were during the Clinton presidency–and lowering taxes on the middle class, doesn't exactly sound like socialism to most Americans. And of course it's not. As a matter of fact, only the most die-hard, right-wing ideologue, one who is opposed to progressive taxes, social security, medicare, etc, would be likely to make such an outrageous claim and actually believe it. So we have couple of choices here: McCain is an extreme right-wing ideologue OR he is lying and knows it.
Given the history of Red-baiting in this country, and the number of lives it destroyed, this is dangerous territory. Further, McCain is playing with fire on another front. He can't directly raise the issue of race. But he can try to make Obama appear foreign and unamerican (you know, he "pals around with terrorists," according to Palin). Here is a recent attempt from Palin to play the all-American card:
We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Sara Palin, October 16, 2008
Now the really big guns have been brought out. Not only is Obama from the wrong part of the country–raised in Hawaii and schooled in big cities, so he is not really pro-American–but he may also be a socialist. If you know anything about actual socialism/communism, this is too silly to be believed. And it is even beyond silly, if that's possible, since a conservative Republican administration has just semi-nationalized part of the banking industry. Nationalization is a lot closer to socialism than modest changes in our tax rates. (Marx would have a good laugh over this one, while he is turning over in his grave.) But one doesn't have to be a pundit to figure out what is really being said here. Obama is not one of us, that is, don't forget white America that he is black.

(Note the dates above...different than originally advertised.)
You can stay anywhere you like, but we'll be based out of the Best Western in Caldwell, OH. LINK
I've got Friday night through Sunday night booked...checking out Monday. My advice: get your rooms booked ASAP...I have no idea how many they have.
Friday - Travel day
Saturday - day loop to the east of the interstate
Sunday - day loop to the west into the Hocking Hills region
Monday - get home day
Like all Rambles, there are no room discounts, no event fees, no organized dinners (a restaurant is within walking distance), no speeches, no nuthin'...just riding and having a good time with your FJR friends, and maybe a cold beverage after the ride.
This is one of my favorite places to ride...so although I hate organizing stuff, I end up doing it nearly every year.
Both loops WILL be based out of Caldwell so as to minimize packing/unpacking. If you can only join us for one of the two days...that's fine. HOWEVER, you will weep at the missed twisty roads if you miss one of these days.
If you're signing up and coming, make a motel reservation and let me know about it. I'll add you to the list below. You won't be sorry. Guaranteed fun.
The finalized routes are now completed for Saturday and Sunday's loop. and I have gpx files to send out to those that want them. I have some jpeg files from MS S&T of the routes...they are included below.
As a recap, remember that we are doing two days of Ramble this year. Saturday will be east of the Interstate, and Sunday will be west of the Interstate over to the Hocking Hills area.
Saturday - East Route, 312 miles (plus/minus)
East loop - western half of loop
East Loop - eastern half of loop
East route - beginning and end of route
County Roads at beginning of route- "zoomed in view"
At Overlook, just off of 536
East Route - northeast portion of route
Sunday - West Route to Hocking Hills, 347 miles (plus/minus)
West route - beginning and end of route
Glouster and points west
West Route - Hocking Hills area
Lake Hope-Athens area
West Route - Athens/555 portion
Sooooooo....as you can see, there's enough riding to keep everybody happy for a little while. All I ask for the small bit of work to organize this is
- Everybody ride in such a way to keep the rubber side down
- Be respectful of the riders around you and give them plenty of space
- Be respectful of the people in the area that we come in contact with, whether at the motel or while passing during the ride
- Have fun during the ride and after the ride in the parking lot swapping stories of the awesome curves
- Buy me a good beer.
I will have a rider's meeting the night before the ride to go over the the route, and talk about stops along the route, and firm up the rider groups.

EDIT: Added section below on riding groups.
Okay...I've divided us into smaller groups for safety sake, faster gas stops, etc...so if you used to be a beotch and now you are a dick, or used to be a dick and now you are a focker...look below to find out what I think you are.
These groupings are based on past experience, peoples posts, and just plain guesses regarding what groups people might want to ride in.
This is NOT hard and fast...if anyone wants to switch, or even want to form their own group...please let me know ASAP so I can adjust the groups.
There is no designated group leader for any of these. You all are expected to learn the route, or choose your own route and choose a ride leader amongst yourselves.
Group A (and no, that doesn't stand for a-holes) KSU = 7:50AM
Gray Ray
El Toro Joe
John d
Brian (John d's friend)
Group B (No, that doesn't stand for beotches) KSU = 7:55AM
Group C (No, that doesn't stand for crazies) KSU = 8:00AM
Bockelrider (2up)
Group D (no, that doesn't stand for dicks) KSU = 8:05AM
Group F (no, that doesn't stand for fockers) KSU = 8:10AM
Bikergeek (2up)
If you are riding a half day only on Sunday...and are going to form your own group or leave at a later time, please let me know asap so I can re-form groups based on your choice.
Group A (and no, that doesn't stand for a-holes) KSU = 7:50AM
Gray Ray
John d
Brian (John d's friend)
Group B (No, that doesn't stand for beotches) KSU = 7:55AM
extrememarine (1st half)
Group C (No, that doesn't stand for crazies) KSU = 8:00AM
Bockelrider (2up) (1st half)
Group D (no, that doesn't stand for dicks) KSU = 8:05AM
Naskie18 (1st half)
UselessPickles (1st half)
Group M (no that doesn't stand for m'fers) KSU = 8:10AM
Moosehead buddy #1- Peter(Ninja)
Moosehead Buddy #2 - Ryan(Gixxer)
Group F (no, that doesn't stand for fockers) KSU = 8:15AM
Bikergeek (2up) (1ST half)
PhilJet09 (1st half)
Please know that if I move someone to a different group, I am just trying to make a judgement to make the day a safe and fun ride for all.
The general pace is faster in group A than group B and so on...but there may be faster riders in Group C than Group B, etc...I'm just trying to put like paced people together -AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE- so people feel less tempted to go a pace faster than they should.

"It was a win for the students, a win for the district, and the city of Benton Harbor," says Superintendent Leonard Seawood. It's been decided. Benton Harbor schools will have fewer security members on staff, but the Superintendent says it doesn't mean students will be any less safe.
The district will retain many of the current security guards and they will become reserve officers, trained professionally by the FBI and Michigan State Police.
"This will allow us to continue to build relationships with our youth and law enforcement. That's very important that our officers are there to support this community, and we're looking for a different type of relationship," says Seawood.The district will pay the city $236,000 for the service.
That will save the district $136,000 from what they paid for security now.
However, a proposal from a private company, Sodexo, could have saved the district another $10 thousand.
Board member Joseph Taylor says with the district as cash-strapped as it is, it doesn't make sense to pay more.
But other board members point out, the district is getting more with the city's contract. They get to keep current employees, make them full time, give them a $4 raise, plus provide them with police training. The proposal also makes clear that officers will not be armed with guns, handcuffs or mace, a concern formerly raised by the community.
"I'm glad we were able to negotiate something that works to satisfy our residents and something that works to satisfy all of the stakeholders involved, namely the parents because they were very concerned about that," says Board Member Sharon James.
The final vote was 4-2 in favor of the city's proposal.
The Superintendent says there won't be an officer at every one of Benton Harbor Schools, but there will be one who hops around the entire district.
The district wants to start training officers soon, school starts September 3rd.
For residents who have questions about the board's decision, they can meet with the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent on Thursday from 5-7pm at the High School.
