A word from Wilshire
Designer Thomas Schoos created a warm distinctive ambiance while taking advantage of the unique spaces on the property. Each room makes an individual statement retaining the "old world" character of this historic space or capturing a more modern sensibility. The main dining room features plush leather banquettes and antique mirrors enhanced by candlelight while the indoor bar has coffered ceilings, club chairs and a softly lit amber bar. The spacious outdoor garden, bar and private terrace are surrounded by rich chocolate stucco walls accented with fireplaces and water features. The dining area seats 100 and the terrace may inspire an indulgent dessert or a fine Cognac nightcap.Continued

- foodieofamericaDined on 9/27/2014Beautiful outside and delicious food! Very romantic we loved the chicken with the apple and walnut stuffing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- happyeaterDined on 9/20/2014We have been to Wilshire many times and enjoyed it each time.Special Features:
- poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014With all the" managerials" standing around and all of the bus people--you would think you could get good service. We did NOT. The food was delicious. But, the wait staff and Management really needs some training from the top down. This spot is six blocks from my house--I would like to love it, but cannot until they get a clue about fine dining.Special Features:
- DisappointingtravelbugDined on 9/5/2014I've been going to Wilshire for years. Business lunches, dinners and parties. I've always been happy with the food and service. I was disappointed recently for multiple reasons. We spent $100 per person which was for cocktails, salad, sides and two steak entrees. The cocktails were ok, nothing special. The caesar salad was bad (you can get a better caesar from Wolfgang Puck to go (fresher and tastier). The steak (we got both the hangar and filet) were cooked well, but were not hot. I like hot food hot, and cold food cold. The truffle fries were the bottom of the barrel. Just small pieces. Overall, just really disappointing from a culinary standpoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great patiomalinatrDined on 8/29/2014Wilshire doesn't look like much from the street but has a very cool vibe upon entry. Then you walk back to the outdoor dining area and you know you came to the right place. We sat back by the back bar and really loved it. The food was very good all around...everything seemed to hit the mark. I now consider Wilshire to be on of my "go to" places when I want to impress friends.Special Features:
- HappyDined on 8/29/2014We had good service, good food and a leisurely lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great find!Marsee3VIPDined on 8/23/2014The food was fantastic . We had steak tartare- best ever !muscles- outstanding sauce and presentation Cod - yummy! Loved our service! We will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SmithVIPDined on 8/19/2014Food was good and patio was nice. But hat wasn't enough. A busboy broke a plate of someone food on my chair.Got a dirty wine glass, there was someone's gum under the table and we had to wait for a refill of wine to be chilled. All in all - nope.Special Features:
- Best outdoor dining in L.A.mitchVIPDined on 8/15/2014There is no outdoor place in L.A. that compares with Wilshire. The outdoors is perfectly lighted, devoid of street noise and without a poorly located table. and the food is superb with a wait staff that is casual and professional at the same time. A wonderful place to spend an evening.Special Features:
- Great spotVeteaDined on 8/15/2014Tasty and fine food, elegant setting, good service! The place turns into one of Santa Monica's trendiest night scenes after dinner...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/15/2014Menu does not change and there are not enuf specials to compensate for it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely eveningSsrd512Dined on 8/14/2014the courtyard at Wilshire is the second most attractive quality. It is so lovely and pleasant. There are heat lamps if it gets chilly outside. The service is always consistent and dependable. The food is never less than excellent. If there is one criticism it is that they don't give you the prices of the specials when they announce them, which has resulted in some unpleasant check surprises. Live and learn - got to ask.Special Features:
- A lovely meal.beccatDined on 7/8/2014I met two very good friends for a celebration dinner at Wilshire. The food was excellent and the service very friendly. The outdoor patio is so nice on a warm summer evening. We had a great time. Elegant cocktails and great wine list too.Special Features:
- Lacking ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/5/2014Although the food at Wilshire is good, service was spotty at best. Add to that an attitude our waiter gave us throughout the meal, as if he was doing us a big favor to help with anything at all, and I doubt we will be returning soon. Also, they turn this place into a club at night, so for much of our meal the staff seemed more concerned with setting up bottle service for later than serving the restaurant patrons currently dining.
- Perfect Anniversaryseattlemom76Dined on 6/28/2014Our experience at Wilshire was beyond our expectations. We traveled to Santa Monica to celebrate our 15-year anniversary. Never having been to the area, I researched restaurants and Wilshire consistently rose to the top. I made reservations and noted we would be coming for our anniversary. From the moment we walked through the front doors, the team knew that we were there for a special occasion. They reserved the sweetest table for us - a two-top next to the fire pit / koi pond and under a lovely trellis. The manager personally came over with two glasses of champagne and thanked us for celebrating at Wilshire. The food was amazing, and after almost 3 hours, we finally rolled out of there. Absolutely charming and special evening!Special Features:
- FabulousluvgoodfoodVIPDined on 6/13/2014This was our first time to eat here and it was incredible. Eat outside. Ask for Beth to serve you. She was great! Truffle chips are a most!Special Features:
- Always nice!FooddudeVIPDined on 6/5/2014Lovely outdoor setting. Good food. They want this review to be at least fifty words. Now that's kind of silly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 953 reviews are from the Wilshire reviews archive.
- OutstandinggargantuaDined on 5/20/2014I had guest from France visiting and I decided to take my party to the Wilshire. It was the best decision I could have made. They were big fish lovers and the Black Cod really impressed their fine taste. The pudding was absolutely divine, and so was the wine. Food wise, it's an A across the board. Where this restaurant scored some big points, is with service. You can get some good food around Los Angeles, but exceptional service is pretty rare. Because my party was on the older side and didn't want to be outside, the staff placed us in a private dining area. This was very nice of the host. The waiter was funny, knowledgeable and made great suggestions (the pudding, GET THE PUDDING). I have been there before, and will continue coming back.Special Features:
- Still solidgcmoriVIPDined on 5/15/2014Wilshire Reataurant is a Santa Monkca classic, which does not disappoint. Nothing to inventive, but solid execution. Great lunch spot for meetings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Breakfast focus only even at 2:30pmSwampmuleDined on 5/11/2014I really enjoyed the Ambience of this restaurant but there are a few things that bothered me: They seated us at a table with crumbs all over the place mats... Then they blamed it on the fact that we were outside. But we weren't seated below open air we were in the box seating in the back that is completely covered so that made no sense. They accidentally handed us a full menu which led us to believe they had all their delicious items available but they later came around when we asked for a specific dish and said we were limited to the practically "egg-only" dishes on the prix fixe menu. There was something without egg, a seared tuna salad and a burger. Both were great. The area we sat was kinda dirty next to the fire pit, needs cleaning :DSpecial Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/11/2014Have been here twice before for Mother's Day and had a wonderful time. This time the food was just OK, and the service left a lot to be desired. When I sat down my napkin was wet, asked for another, the replacement was not clean. Coffee not refilled without request. Water refilled after second request. Windy day meant small items from tree falling, down into drinks on the table, no offer to replace. Nothing terrible, but nothing great. We will pick another place next year.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/5/2014Excellent and attentive service . However two of the four white wines listed by the glass were not available which made no senseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LaurelCanyonGirlVIPDined on 4/26/2014This was our second experience at Wilshire - both times, the food and service were very good to excellent. The restaurant has a lovely, well-heated patio, as well as indoor dining, but the patio is the place to be in general. This is a great place to take friends without risking disappointment, a bit pricey but generally worth it and you can order a relatively simple meal or have a fine dining experience.Special Features:
- one of my Favorite place to eatItalyDined on 4/25/2014I enjoyed going to this restaurant It's just a wonderful experience the atmosphere is great I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for food good service and atmosphere and fun and also a romantic eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Easter BrunchTinaDined on 4/20/2014(By the way, there's a typo on this survey - "Great for Bunch" Should be Great for Brunch.) In any case, we enjoyed a delicious brunch, bottomless mimosa's were very good, and the service staff did not mind at all that we kept asking for more rounds. I enjoyed the most yummy Ahi tuna salad, my husband's burger made him sigh with delight, and my son enjoyed not only a very large portion of french toast, but the side of granola (home made) made his heart sing.Special Features:
- Is it a restaurant or a club?OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 4/19/2014We arrived at 7 pm and had a very nice dinner with friendly service, great food. By 9.30 pm when we left the place felt more like a club with loud music, bouncers, and obnoxious patrons.Special Features:
- I definitely impressed my1gardennurseDined on 4/5/2014I definitely impressed my date:-D The food was great as usual. The service even better, nicely paced. Never felt rushed, but never had to search for the server either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the sameFlorenceDined on 3/25/2014This once was a favorite place for great food & service, but no more. Service was so bad we were comp'ed a major part of the bill.Special Features:
- Lunch!PeterVIPDined on 3/21/2014There aren't many good places that still serve lunch. Wilshire does and does it really well. The seared Ahi tuna salad is spectacular!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Ambience!!!Islandgrl35Dined on 3/8/2014I love the outdoor patio especially at dinner time, its beautiful and romantic. Great service and yummy food (shrimp & grits)!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a wonderful time, ambienceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/3/2014Had a wonderful time, ambience and food were great. Service was excellent . Would recommend for anyone looking for that special place or special occasion.Special Features:
- Great staffhealthy1VIPDined on 2/22/2014Our evening at Wilshire was quite delightful. The service was wonderful and friendly. We even had the privilege of the Manager Brianna come to our table often, making sure everything was fine. We were treated well from the hostess to the gentleman that escorted us to the parking lot. At 10:00 it turns into a very popular night club with lines out the door, making it difficult to exit. It becomes quite energetic at that time. Otherwise the outdoor area is a noise level where you can talk comfortably. A lovely evening! A special thank you to Brianna!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot!lukeyb14Dined on 2/22/2014A little bit more "romantic" than what I was going for but...awesome place!! Definitely a great date night spot!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We went for Valentines day.EdwaldDined on 2/14/2014We went for Valentines day. First time. Seated immediately. Asked if we wanted a booth or table, inside or patio. Took a booth inside. Wait staff excellent. Brought our own wine. No problem. $20.00 corkage. Browsed the wine list anyway. Great choices. Was told thursday is 50% off on all wines. The food was delicious. Food brought at perfect intervals. Now the desert!! Can't decide whose was better. Flourless chocolate cake or pot du creme butterscotch . Both were memorable. Going back next week for my husbands birthday party.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service breakdownEaterDined on 2/11/2014Took some friends from out of town to The Whilshire since I had good exp's in the past. The bacon/ farm egg salad was great, the crispy pork belly was good, not great. The is Osso Bucco, on the other hand, was over salted. Good, but salty. The breakdown was in our service. Not sure why but the server we had disappeared on us only to get his "brother" who was anything but related, who although nice, wasn't up to the task of the number of tables he had. Dined on a Tuesday night. Not overly crowded.Special Features:
- Architecturally and decorativelyOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/31/2014Architecturally and decoratively very fine indeed. Food was heavy and dull (however, the dessert was heavy and yummy). Maybe the subs were in the kitchen the night we came.Special Features:
- Both the food and the waitBirdieDined on 1/24/2014Both the food and the wait staff were top notch! I will absolutely return and highly recommend The Wilshire to others. Cheers!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining Al Fresco in Santa MonicakrinDined on 1/23/2014Tucked off the busy main drag of Wilshire Boulevard lies Wilshire. The building that once housed by The Black Forest Inn has been transformed into an array of spaces. Past the bar, down the ramp alongside the indoor dining area, into the outdoor patio. I thought it would be cold. I thought it would be loud. I thought it would be pretentious. It was none of those. The space is beautiful, a delightful garden space. Heaters nearby. Unique dining spaces dot the perimeter. I barely noticed the other tables. The food was beautiful, every bite of it. Unique in their combination and construction. The cast of wonderful humans working there was delightful, authentic, and kind. I would go back here again and again. Can't wait.Special Features:
- A Dine LA Flopchicle97Dined on 1/21/2014This review is for my Dine LA experience ONLY. I've eaten at the Wilshire a couple other times in the past and had a pleasant experience and good food. The biggest problem I had at lunch was my server. I won't go into details, but her service made for an unbearable lunchtime experience. LIKES: Beef barley soup, chopped chicken salad, meatball sandwich. Both desserts were HEAVENLY (butterscotch pot de creme & flourless chocolate cake-and we had them to go!) DISLIKES: our waitress, the wait in between courses, the fact that 2 meatball and 2 salad choices were offered on courses 1 & 2 was very limiting, and we got ONE soda refill only because WE flagged down the guy bussing tables. At $4 a soda that's ridiculous!Special Features:
- Great patio poor service priceyJustinerlDined on 1/11/2014One if my fav restaurants however this time had poor service. Our drinks took 20 minutes and came after appetizers after asking twice and server completely forgot my husbands coffee. Since you're paying a lot - $60 per person not including tip even for my son as no kids menu kind of bad. And we did not order a bottle of wine. Ambiance is excellent as love the patio but do not think I will go back. Food was good this time but not amazing as they have changed the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Cook's Talk: Short and Long Caramels
Caramel - it's the thing this season. We've made four batches now with varying degrees of success. All were delicious but some were, well, just a little too soft.
In our research on this troubling topic, we discovered that there is insider candy-speak for hard and soft caramels.
Caramels that are just a little too soft and moist (the ones you have to drag away from the wrapper, leaving a long tail behind) are called short by candy makers. Caramels on the harder side (they give you a headache to chew) are long.
Well, now that we've had long, short, and just-right caramels we can say they're all delicious to us!

I like them as soft as possible without them sticking to the wrapper. Luckily, that's how mine turned out this year, because I wasn't going to make a second batch.
I know this is a late comment, but if you are using a mercury candy thermometer, this could be your problem.
They can vary up to 5 degrees in temperature in any direction, meaning by the time you see it's at the right temperature, turn the heat off, and pour into your pan... you could be up to 10 degrees off.
Chilling your pan before they are poured helps tremendously, as does using a butter caramel recipe instead of cream!

Marion County homicide detectives are trying to determine what led to the fatal shooting of a 6-month-old baby. The incident happened around 11 a.m. Friday in a home at 4836 NW 45th Court in Ocala.
Family members had called 911 to report that 20-year-old Melanie Reyes had posted a statement on her Facebook page indicated she was going to shoot her child and herself. When deputies arrived, they found Reyes and her baby, Jonah Mendoza, 6 months, with gunshot wounds. Both were transported to the hospital. The baby died from his injuries and Reyes remains in critical condition. Detectives are interviewing neighbors and family members to gather more information about what happened before the shooting. A handgun was recovered from the home and detectives are confident it was the gun used by Reyes in the shooting. No one else was at the house at the time.

Shady Style: Patios with Pergolas
Inspiration Gallery
The photo above was shot by our talented contributor Bethany Nauert and was the winner of last year's first photo contest. I think we were all attracted to it not only because it's an amazing photo, but a wonderfully dreamy place. The photo is a great example of why pergolas are so awesome: the open structures help define space and create an outdoor room that is shaded during the day, and with a few vines and twinkle lights, can be romantic or festive at night.
Here are some other great examples of beautifully built pergolas (also known as trellises or arbors):

We have a patch of unused lawn in the back yard, just outside the door, where we want to put down flagstone or pavers. I had thought to just put an outdoor dining set from Home Depot or Lowe's out there, with an umbrella over, for our al fresco dining space. But the first photo reminds me so much of many of the outdoor living areas I got to share with friends in Germany and Italy and the south of France while living in Europe. I would really love to recreate that here, and living in the southern US, we can use all the shade we can get.
I love our big pergola, but just remember: you still have to clean it, and birds love to make nests where tree branches settle in the brise-soleil or slats -- and then there's the bird poop from birds perching up there throughout the day. :) Pergolas are also great for hanging plants and flower baskets if you don't have much greenery already planted.
The featured picture, as well the photo in #6, are TO DIE FOR. I do not have a yard, but when I do, I have been dreaming of making a little area like that!!!!
Ah, I dream of having a pergola. Bookmarking this page!
Lazy photo crediting. If the photos were part of a tour, your link can and should say Apartment Therapy. If it's from another source, even if it was featured in an AT post, you should be linking to the original source. #6 is actually House Beautiful, #8 is Chicago Home + Garden, #9 is the blog Anything Pretty.

The DFP-9500D is a direct drive double pedal, with a solid cast link between the rocker shaft and the footboards. The direct drive "pushes" the footboards back on rebound, giving the pedal a quicker response. Many drummers that play heel-down prefer the feel of a direct drive. The DFP-9500D has adjustments for beater angle, footboard angle, and spring tension. The pedal frames have stabilizer bars cast into them below the rocker shafts to eliminate flex. This keeps the bearings in alignment and gives the pedal a smooth feel. The hole in the beater hubs are tear drop shaped so it securely holds the beater shafts and keeps the new two-sided beaters from spinning. The new beater is felt on one side, and hard plastic on the other. The side-adjustable hoop clamp holds firmly to different thickness hoops, and tightens with a wing bolt. The DFP-9500D ships in a hard sided soft case to keep the universal joints, beaters, and pedals together for transport.

Does social media help tourism?
i wonder how this many connections via social media channels between many people is helping tourist destinations.

Dec 10 2012: I wonder how long will it take before people realize that social media is one big advertisment show?
It's true that thanks to SM it is now cheaper to advertise for everyone, but there is no talking about any kind of equality. Whoever got the money takes it all.
For me, even if absolutely everything - every bar, gallery, museum etc. - is transfered to/represented in the social media it will always be governed by money and by means of that it will forever be but an electronic advertising catalogue. Just like the one you find in a hotel room. And they are usually useless.

Essential Insights On Treating Pressure Ulcers
- Volume 26 - Issue 5 - May 2013
- 6171 reads
- 0 comments
Dr. Armstrong and his colleagues have just finished a large, multinational randomized study. He says the results seem to suggest that robust oral supplementation may help those who need it most: those with albumins less than 4 (which is the case with most of his admissions) and with ankle brachial indices less than 0.9.
Dr. Suzuki does not recommend vitamin supplements. He says the evidence is not clear enough that vitamin supplements help wound healing or pressure ulcer prevention although he wouldn't make patients stop taking them. On the other hand, Dr. Suzuki does recommend probiotic supplements for all of his wound patients, especially if they are on antibiotics, as the supplements may help in boosting the immune functions while preventing C. difficile and other antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
What kind of dressing do you use for pressure ulcers?
Dr. Armstrong has a "vertical" and "horizontal" philosophy for wound healing. He and his colleagues will treat exposed bone or hardware (i.e. the vertical component) most frequently with NPWT. Dr. Armstrong says the next step is to resolve the horizontal component either with split thickness skin grafting, which is often his first option, or bioengineered tissue to facilitate healing by secondary intention.
Dr. Suzuki likes to use foam dressings (Mepilex, Molnlycke). He says they are soft and provide a little of bit of protection against friction and pressure. If his patients have a swollen limb along with pressure ulcers, Dr. Suzuki may apply a multilayer compression bandage (such as Comprifore, BSN Medical) to add more layers and cushioning to the wounded area while reducing the leg edema.
After cleansing the wound, Dr. Sage dresses pressure ulcers with simple gauze or alginates. He will also use protective offloading devices, such as a Prevalon boot (Sage Products).
In what kind of situations do you use NPWT?
For any deep wounds that need assistance in building up granulation tissue in the wound bed, Dr. Suzuki would order NPWT (Vacuum Assisted Closure, KCI) right away. He will also prescribe NPWT for exposed bones or tendons and fascia, noting that one will want to cover those structures with granulation tissue as soon as possible, granted that one has ruled out osteomyelitis or osteomyelitis is under appropriate treatment with antibiotics. Dr. Suzuki also uses NPWT in the operating room after applying split-thickness skin grafts or performing a complex flap procedure.
Dr. Sage uses NPWT after a calcanectomy when there is a large defect to fill.
Do you have any other pearls for the care of patients with pressure ulcers?
Dr. Sage emphasizes that offloading is the key to preventing and healing pressure wounds. "No amount of advanced wound care products, surgery or revascularization will work if the pressure is not relieved," he advises.
When one sees multiple pressure ulcers on one patient, Dr. Suzuki says it is a clear sign that either patients' nutrition intake is not catching up with their metabolism or that they are suffering from major organ failures.
"This does not mean you should give up on them but we should be aware of these frail patients and provide them with appropriate protection (heel boots and air bed) as well as appropriate palliation with palliative wound care, hydration and pain control," says Dr. Suzuki.

VERO BEACH - A new essential tremor support group is forming at 2 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County activities center, 2300 5th Ave., suite 150, Vero Beach.
The support group is co-sponsored by HopeNET, an organization dedicated to researching and finding a cure for essential tremor.
Bi-monthly discussions will be led by Joan Marie Barringer, a professional counselor who has essential tremor herself and started a support group in Washington, D.C., at Georgetown University Hospital.
Discussions will include self-care, social situations, proper nutrition, healthy habits, medications, doctors who specialize in essential tremor and other topics of interest. Friends and family are welcome.
Essential tremor, a condition that affects more than 10 million people in the U.S., is also referred to as "family tremor" because it often runs in families. Unlike Parkinson-related tremor that occurs at rest, essential tremor occurs during movement making it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as holding a glass, eating soup and writing.
Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County is not an affiliate of a national organization. It is an independent, nonprofit organization that is 100 percent supported through donations derived from grants, events, individuals and businesses.
Programs are designed for those challenged by disorders affecting memory and movement, such as essential tremors, stroke, autism, lewy bodies and others. Services provided to area residents include support groups, a lending library resource center, monthly program meetings, caregiver training, Project Lifesaver tracking bracelets, respite program, an activity center, weekly exercise and movement classes, and free memory screening.
Nearly 4,100 caregivers, clients and professionals participated in the organization's programs in 2011.
To learn more about volunteer opportunities, making a donation or about other programs available in Indian River County, visit www.alspark.org or call (772)563-0505.

The Winnipeg Jets are making a pitch to host the NHL Heritage Classic in 2016.
When the team arrived in New Jersey for Sunday's game against the Devils, True North chairman Mark Chipman confirmed reports that the team is in preliminary negotiations with NHL to host an outdoor game.
According to the Winnipeg Free Press, a source says the league is hoping to play a Heritage Classic in Canada in 2014 and 2016, with Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium the likely location in 2014.
The new Investors Group Field in Winnipeg could seat about 40,000 for hockey.
The Edmonton Oilers hosted the first Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium in 2003 and the Calgary Flames played an outdoor game at McMahon Stadium in 2011.

Our son, just returning from Afghanistan, and his wife met us in Helen. The condo was perfect. It was within walking distance to all of the restaurants, bars and shops. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed being on the river and also, the fireplaces because it was cold! We will definitely come back in the warm weather so we can tube down the river. Thank you Dianne for a great visit.

I'm sick of hearing about Scribblenauts too, but...
I'm not a violent man, but a few days ago when I overheard a game nerd describe Scribblenauts as "this year's Flower," I wanted to don animal pelts, swing a mace over my head for awhile, and then set fire to this a-hole's f***ing village.
The obvious problem here--among many obvious problems--is that Flower came out this year. In 2009. Which this dingus obviously did not remember.
The other problem is the ongoing game nerd/journalist tendency to proclaim any obscure, tiny game the alt.-choice for discerning, sophisticated gamers. Medical doctors have a name for it. They call it Katamari Syndrome. Symptoms: self-satisfied expression, folded arms, inability to listen to reason, damp palms.
All that aside, I spent a few minutes watching this video this morning, which reminded me of the great time Teti and I had with Scribblenauts at E3. Who knows if it'll hold up beyond a 20 minute demo. But any game that allows God to fight with a kracken while Einstein looks on is doing a great many things right.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged all parties to continue to call for calm among their supporters and to work together to consolidate democracy following the general election in Malawi.
Good science-based predictions are powerful, says Graeme Smith, Reader in Public Theology at the University of Chichester. But given that politics is a human activity, he disagrees with Rorty that those in the humanities cannot do it as well. Turning humanities-based soothsayer for a moment, Dr Smith sets out the reasons why he thinks that the Labour Party will (just) form the next government at Westminster, concluding: "you read it here first."
Neither fundamentalism nor functionalism offer a way forward for the churches today in terms of their public witness and political engagement, says Simon Barrow. The different stances taken by church bodies in the 2010 general election suggest important lessons for the future.
The Liberal Democrats have said they will not replace Trident nuclear-armed submarines, but they have not broken the nuclear hold on their defence policy, say critics.
Plaid Cymru, the Party of Wales, said that it was "time to burst the Westminster bubble" as it launched its UK election campaign platform yesterday.
Four live television election debates are to take place in Scotland involving the largest parties - the SNP, Labour, Liberal Democrats and the Tories.
As the three biggest and riches political parties seek to gobble up media attention, the Green Party has launched an online appeal to fund an electoral breakthrough.
As the predicted politicking gets underway across Britain today, Simon Barrow argues that underneath and beyond General Election 2010 is a much more important 'ethics election' on who we are and what really matters for people, peace and planet.
Eleven church denominations and agencies have launched a set of online resources designed to help Christians prepare for the forthcoming UK General Election - which many pundits now believe will be called in May.

Seamus Grimes (CISC and Department of Geography, NUI Galway)
|BIS Room 2, The Corrib Building (Near St. Anthony's)
|2.00pm :: 7th October 2004
This seminar will examine the emergence in recent years of Ireland as a relatively significant European location for internationally traded services. The considerable challenge facing geographers and others in moving beyond the production-oriented models which have predominated to date to produce a more suitable conceptual framework for internationally traded services will be explored. With services being increasingly embedded in products and with transnational technology corporations being increasingly involved in providing 'end-to-end' solutions for their international client base, a holistic approach towards analyzing the sector will be suggested. Evidence from a number of technology TNC affiliates in Ireland will be used to trace the evolution of ITS activities in Ireland.

Regional overview
Regional overview
Spot prices of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in the second quarter continued to track the changes in both RON 92 gasoline prices and crude futures.
Demand picked up from mid-April to the end of May as buyers entered the market to purchase MTBE cargoes ahead of the driving season. Premiums for 2,000-3,000 tonne cargoes during that period were largely at around $26-27/tonne on a CFR (cost & freight) Singapore basis to FOB (free on board) Singapore quotes.
However, the market in Singapore turned bearish at the start of June because demand for gasoline remained lacklustre. Market players described the market as a buyer's market, and premiums on a CFR Singapore basis were at the high $10s/tonne to FOB Singapore quotes. Cheaper blendstocks such as toluene and mixed xylenes also weighed on the buying sentiment in June.
On a CFR China basis, the arbitrage window into the China market remained closed throughout the quarter, owing to strong FOB Singapore prices. This kept China-based buyers on the sidelines, with sufficient supply in the China market also weighing on buying sentiment.
Buying activity was strong from South Korean blenders for June cargoes because of the onset of the driving season. They were heard to have purchased more 10,000 tonnes of MTBE for June arrival.

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, Oct. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Elderly kidney failure
patients in the United States are twice as likely to get a kidney
transplant as they were in the mid-1990s, although the likelihood
is still low, a new studyfinds.
About half a million people in the United States have kidney
failure, and 48 percent of them are 60 or older.
The study, published in an upcoming issue of the
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, included kidney failure patients, aged 60 to 75, listed in the national Renal Data System between 1995 and 2006.
In 2006, these elderly patients had a 7.3 percent chance of
getting a kidney transplant within three years of their first
treatment for kidney failure. That rate was two times higher than
in 1995.
The researchers noted that elderly kidney failure patients now
have greater access to kidneys from living donors and older
deceased donors, and are less likely to die while waiting for a
Elderly kidney failure patients should consider transplantation
over other types of treatment, suggested the study authors.
"Early engagement and education of patients and their families about the benefits and opportunities for transplantation may lead to further increases in the use of ... transplantation in this age group," they wrote in a news release from the American Society of Nephrology.
"Policy changes and research are also needed to further expand access to transplantation in the elderly," they added.

Our Too-Big-To-Fail banks are at it again...
The Volcker Rule is supposed to ban the banks from making hazardous and speculative trades.
But the big banks are begging for the chance to make the same kind of moves that got us into the 2008 global credit crisis, one of the worst in the modern world.
It's like they never learned their lesson...
They're even enlisting congressional cronies to do their bidding.
One way or another TBTF banks are going to find a way to speculate us all into another crisis...
Here's everything you need to know...
Big Banks Are Trading for Trillions... At Our Expense
The truth is the banks have been fighting the Volcker Rule since it was first floated.
The Rule, named after legendary former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman of the 1980s, Paul A. Volcker, goes into effect in 2015 and has lots of moving pieces.
For instance, it says banks can't have ownership stakes in hedge funds or private equity shops and can't gamble in the markets like they did in their good-old "Trading for Trillions" days.
Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) are one of the "instruments" or "products" banks still want to trade.
The Volcker Rule says they can trade the simplest version of CLOs, those that have commercial loans in them.
But they're not allowed to trade CLOs that contain bonds, or equity, or other assets papered around CLO packages.
Not that there's anything simple about collateralized loan obligations.
They're complex from the get-go. And some varieties are a lot more complex and dangerous than others, though to the naked eye they look pretty much the same.
What the banks are bitching about is how they'll be restricted in their ability to trade the CLOs they want to own. Did you catch that?
That's right: They want to "trade" these things. That's important.
A lot of the CLOs will be put together by hedge funds and private equity (PE) shops. And that's one of the big problems: Hedge fund and PE products are supposed to be off limits.
What are collateralized loan obligations anyway? Here's what they are - and why they're so outrageous.
For the most part, the ones being targeted are made up of leveraged loans. Hedge funds and private equity shops and banks make loans to commercial companies that already have above (their industry) average debt on their balance sheets, hence they are said to be "leveraged." The issuers of these loans to leveraged companies call the loans "leveraged loans." Makes sense, right?
But because leveraged loans are made to leveraged companies there may not be any buyers willing to purchase them from the original issuers, who have no intention of keeping these loans on their own books.
So, to sell them, issuers and other product factories lump a bunch of these leveraged loans into a pool.
Yes, like a giant mortgage-backed pool. And since these are leveraged loans made to leveraged companies they're a tad bit closer to those infamous subprime mortgage-backed securities.
Just because you pool a bunch of leveraged loans into a package, doesn't mean they are less leveraged, higher rated, and more desirable. That is until you add the magic elixir called collateralization, sometimes referred to as structuring.
This trick works the same way it worked for subprime mortgage pools.
The pools are sliced and diced into "traunches" that are sub-pools. These sub-pools are assigned certain rights over other sub-pools in the big pool. They may get more interest payments directed to them. They may have more collateral backing their portion of the pool. The end result is that each of the traunches have different risk and payment structures and different ratings.
And like magic the total pool becomes a series of sub-pools that will fit the bill of the investors they are structured to attract. They get sold off and everyone is happy.
The banks are crying that these products are loans, and banks are supposed to be in the loan business. They want to own these loan products even if they were originated by hedge funds or private equity shops.
It usually gets lost in translation, but I'm here to remind you. The original loans are made to leveraged companies because they are usually part of a leveraged buyout deal.
That's right, leveraged companies need more money because their LBO owners (leveraged buyout owners) want to leverage them up more to pay themselves the fees they extract for taking them private in the first place.
Or, they leverage them up to pay themselves dividends with the money they borrow from the PE shops and hedge funds who only lend it to them temporarily. No wonder they want to package them up and get them off their books.
Enter the banks. They like the yield on these loans. They want to buy them. The big banks own most of these CLOs. And they want to be able to sell them, like they can do with their other loans. If they can buy these CLOs and sell these CLOs, they are trading them, because buying and selling amounts to trading. They want to be able to trade them.
The big banks that want to play in this sandbox are enlisting their congressional cronies to do their bidding.
Andy Barr, a House Republican from Kentucky, introduced a bill recently to allow banks the latitude they demand. He was speaking on behalf of the "small banks" in his state that would have to let go employees if this seal-clubbing was allowed to continue.
It doesn't matter that small banks don't trade this stuff and the handful that buy them certainly don't have trading desks to trade them. But the big boys do.
That's why House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling, a Texas republican, said the Volcker Rule is a job destroyer.
Oh, the humanity!
If big banks think these are good loans to hold, why don't they just originate them themselves and keep them on their books? Why do they want to trade them?
Maybe because if they can trade them, they can hedge them. If the big banks can hedge them, they can over-hedge or under-hedge or cross-hedge, all of which means they want to use their hedging operations to engage in their favorite game... speculative trading.
BTW: If you want the chance to make some real money on situations like these... and you don't mind going against the grain... and making Wall Street's blood boil... I'd like to show you how to do it. You'll be surprised how easy it is.

"His contradictory bullshit is starting to sound more and more like Stoner by the day."
Cal has been saying the most bizarre shit for the longest time now, but you've only just noticed, Wosi? We've obviously failed to make a fuss about it for you.
Since you've dragged Stoner into the thread again, I'll remind you that Casey earned his reputation as a crasher and a moaner on the bike that Rossi continuously crashed on and moaned about.
Cal, on the other hand, continuously moans about and crashes (around 9 races in the last two seasons) on the most sorted bike on the grid. I've lost count of how many times he's ran wide or off track in a race, but he's 2 for 2 this year so far.
I don't mind the wooden-toothed "Honey Badger", but he really is the moaner's moaner, and the crasher's crasher.

"Cota was a one off Cal, expect the rest of the season to be more like Qatar"
Didn't he get 2 podiums last year... & three 4th places... 6 times in the last 2 years he's been 4th or better... but COTA was a one off?... what we can say is 50% of the races so far this year he's finished ahead of a factory Yamaha.

Tetsuet old bean have you just got here??? Casey was pissing and moaning a long time before he got anywhere near ducati.. Hedgey stop being so literal..... I suspect you know exactly what I mean... last year Rossi was on the duke, Marquez was on a 600, and Casey was in hospital with a twisted sock..
Can't quite work out the computer there, hugelean? Chin up, tiger.
"Casey was pissing and moaning a long time before he got anywhere near ducati"
That's so full of shit it isn't funny. Casey wasn't even on the yellow fangirl radars until he started smashing Rossi. That's when the dummy spitting started.

Cal moaning Tets?
Surely you're confusing it with being a straight up, honest bloke who speaks his mind?
Stoner was crashing his brains out and moaning W-A-a-a-ay before Ducati - just ask Chechinello - and is probably the thinnest skinned Aussie sportsman on the planet..
..which is why most of your disgusted homeboy race fans with any sense rip the piss out of his shitty attitude, the anti-thesis of Australian sporting mantra..
..and all the #27er rejects like you migrate to post nonsense over here.
"moaning W-A-a-a-ay before Ducati - just ask Chechinello"
Got proof of Ceccinello calling out Stoner for moaning, or just talking out of your arse again?
"..which is why most of your disgusted homeboy race fans with any sense rip the piss out of his shitty attitude, the anti-thesis of Australian sporting mantra.."
Just like you were ripping the piss out of Rossi with all his moaning at Ducati, right?
Got proof?..Hahaha.
If wosi gave you a link, would you agree Casey was a tempermental little biatch?
No..would you fk.
It's practically racing folklore that Stoner spat his dummy in that box and told everyone to "Fuck Off".. It's not my fault you don't know the subject matter Pal?
It's practically racing folklore ..."
You do know what folklore is, right? No? Ah, well that makes sense now.
"It's not my fault you don't know the subject matter Pal?"
I make no apologies for not having your ignorance.
You slag Cal off (even though you're a "fan") because you're worried that the shit you've been slinging for years is now going to be slung your way. You're the thin-skinned one. Nobody believes that you'd say the same things to him face-to-face, so how about dropping the phony posturing?

VIENNA, Va. (AP) - The group that produces shows at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in northern Virginia has selected an executive who oversees the Hollywood Bowl as its next president and chief executive.
The Wolf Trap Foundation announced Wednesday that it has hired Arvind Manocha to begin leading the organization in January. Manocha succeeds Terrence Jones, who is stepping down after 17 years leading the arts group.
Manocha is currently chief operating officer of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association where he oversees the Hollywood Bowl. The site has been ranked as the nation's best outdoor amphitheater for many years and draws a million visitors each year.
Manocha also directed planning for the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. He took over management of the Hollywood Bowl in 2004.

You could end up paying more every time you use your credit card at retailers throughout the state. That ability went through on Sunday and is causing some concern among business owners and customers alike.
The word is spreading thanks to a class action lawsuit and because of it, businesses in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin can now charge up to 4% more every time you swipe your credit card.
"There are two sides to this story, but the consumer, as usual gets caught in the middle," says Financial Analyst Phil Flynn.
One side is saying the larger retailers, like Target and Sears, don't plan on passing on their credit card swipe fees to the consumer.
FOX Business Contributor Phil Flynn says there is good reason these businesses won't do that.
"I would have the bargaining power with the credit cards and I could say to you, 'Hey , I'm going to be running a lot of tickets. I want a better fee.' Where, if I'm running a small restaurant, I'm being forced by the credit card company to pay the same rate even though it could put me out of business over the long run," Flynn explains.
The National Retail Federation says it opposes the outcome of this lawsuit.
In a statement sent to FOX 32 News, they say, "The bottom line is that very few retailers would be able to surcharge under the settlement, and that the vast majority don't want to surcharge even if they could. Our primary opposition to the settlement is that it does nothing to change the way swipe fees are set, does nothing to keep fees from going up going forward and bars future lawsuits."
Jim August, one of the owners of the Irish Shop in Oak Park, has been doing his research on the settlement.
"I think that if I was to put a sign up at the door, which you have to then and disclose at the door, at the register, wherever you show, and on the receipt, that we're charging you more because you're using your charge card. I don't think that would be great good will for our type of business," August says.
August doesn't plan on placing the surcharge on his customers.
Customers in the area say they wouldn't shop at a place that would add the swipe fee.
"If some businesses aren't doing it, I'd probably not shop at the business that is doing it," Oak Park resident Aaron Andersen says. "But, if it's a small thing like a coffee, I think it's ridiculous that credit card companies charge 3 or 4 percent to the business owner."
Fortunately for consumers, passing on this surcharge is not mandatory. The National Retail Federation says it has yet to speak with a business that plans on utilizing that option.
Ten states have actually banned this charge.

The Freemasons: A History of the World's Most Powerful Secret Society
Arcade Pub., 2001 - History - 357 pages
The Freemasons are a subject of endless fascination. To the layman, they are a mysterious brotherhood of profound if uncertain influence, a secret society purported, in some popular histories, to have its roots in the fabled order of the Knights Templar or in the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids. They evoke fears of world domination by a select few who enjoy privileged access to wealth and the levers of power. The secrecy of their rites suggests the taint of sacrilege, and their hidden loyalties are sometimes accused of undermining the workings of justice and the integrity of nations.
In this reassessment, Jasper Ridley offers a substantial work of history that sifts the truth from the myth as it traces Freemasonry from its origins to the present day. Ridley recounts the development of Freemasonry from the guilds of freestone masons, the master builders of the Middle Ages, into societies of "gentleman masons" and "speculative masons" in the seventeenth century, culminating in the formation of the Grand Lodge in London in 1717. Delineating the spread of the brotherhood to Europe, the New World, and the East, he weighs the role Freemasonry is supposed to have played in the American Revolution (some of our Founding Fathers were masons, among them George Washington and Benjamin Franklin) as well as those in France, South America, and later Russia. Ridley puts into proper perspective the contributions of "the Craft" to civilization over the centuries. Not a mason himself, he nonetheless refutes many of the outrageous allegations made against Freemasonry, while at the same time acknowledging the masons' shortcomings: their clannishness, misogyny, obsession with secrecy, and devotion to arcane ritual.

I love Torrid over Orgasm. It isn't a glitter bomb mess on my nc45 skintone. Its much easier to work with unlike Orgasm if you get too heavy handed its a nightmare to correct. Torrid allows you to build it up to your liking.

NARS Torrid is a gorgeous blush flattering on all skin colors. On my NC40 complexion, it looks fabulous. Its my go to peachy pink blush with slight specs of gold, but now glittery at all. Infact gold spec show in pan but not as much on skin. It is completely buildable and i can easily use it on day or night time. I totally prefer Torrid over most raved Orgasm blush for NC40 or darker.
NARS blushes are pricey but worth every single penny spent.

Oh my god! Torrid is so pretty! I've been using Orgasm for a year now. I also own Taj Mahal.
Where Orgasm is very light and shimmery, Torrid is more coral with less shimmer. I don't know. Just more healthy flush.
I love Torrid so much more! So pretty!

This is the tan/brown girls NARS "orgasm." It has a beautiful Coral/pink color to it with golden shimmer. I also have NARS orgasm, and it gives a subtle color, but if you want the effect that orgasm gives to lighter skin tones, (but not so much on medium- dark skin tones)I believe this is for you. I encourage you to try it.

This is a nice coral blush with little golden sparkles in it. It is good for people with warmer complexions, so if Orgasm isn't doing it for you, give this one a try. Quite pigmented like all Nars blushes

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue
I like this blush although I would not repurchase it. The color is a little too tan on my fair skin and I like blushes with a little bit more pink or peach color to it. If you are familiar with NARS blushes, I think it will really depend on what your skin tone is like to determine if you will like Torrid. If you are unfamiliar with NARS and are trying to decide if you should take the plunge, I personally find there are better blushes out there. I am a sucker for packaging and I find the NARS packaging to be a little bit dull. This blush does have lot of pigment, but I find some other high end blushes to have just the same amount. I use this and will probably use it up eventually, but I would not repurchase.

I love love love this blush. It's a perfect corally pink for those with olive, tan, or more yellow skin. I have tan skin with warm yellow undertones, and this blush looks perfect on me. It goes on smoothly, looks natural, and wears long. It's pricey, but blush lasts a loong time, and the packaging is beautiful and sturdy. Hopefully it won't be too soon, but I would buy again!

I agree with what the others are saying about Torrid being the orgasm for bronze and chocolate ladies! I'm so happy I purchased this blush along with amour! amour shows up more pink while this blush is pinky coral with a little shimmer. I love it and will repurchase over and over again!

this looked great while I was a bit tanner but now that i'm pale, it's not as flattering. it shows up as a corally/orangy (corange?) color on my skin right now and i find that I have to be really careful with the application or else i'll look a little bit ruddy and dirty. very pigmented though and i think on a darker complexion it would look really nice
