Like others who saw his side's display on Saturday afternoon, Roberto Di Matteo was thrilled with a dominant performance against Norwich.
A superb display of pass-and-move football saw us come from behind to record our biggest league win of the season, and hit four for the second time in five days.
Grant Holt's opener suggested we may not have things our own way at Stamford Bridge but Fernando Torres quickly levelled before further goals from Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard and Branislav Ivanovic put the gloss on a terrific afternoon.
Juan Mata in particular impressed, threatening the visitors every time he touched the ball, while fellow attacking midfielders Hazard and Oscar also tormented the Norwich defence.
On the team's performance
'I thought it was excellent. We played some fantastic football, created a lot of chances and maybe could have scored a couple more.
'Every team makes it difficult for you. They are fighting for points and so are we, and after we went 1-0 down it was crucial to get the equaliser quickly. From there we never looked back and scored the second and third in the first half.
'I always said we have a good squad and I'm utilising it. We've not seen much of Cesar Azpilicueta or Oriol Romeu who will get more time after the international break. We've got Marin coming back and Daniel Sturridge has been injured. We've got options and so far we've been lucky with injuries but after the break it is a busy fixture list and we will refresh the team a little bit.
'It seems at the moment they are enjoying playing football, that's what they love doing and they are lucky people to be able to do this as a job. We can only try and continue this momentum and form, and that will help everybody involved going forward.
'We have a philosophy we are aiming to play and at the moment the team is in healthy form, we are creating lots of chances and scoring lots of goals, with different goalscorers. It's a team that's in good shape.
'I think we're just pleased that we go into this international break top of the Barclays Premier League.
'We'll keep chipping away and try to win as many points as we can. I still think Manchester City and Manchester United will still be up there.'
On Ashley Cole and John Terry, who have both had external pressures owing to Terry's FA charge and Cole's tweet on Friday
'I think the results are telling us we are able to blank things out surrounding us externally and we can focus on our aim and target and job to win football games. It shows how professional the group is.
'I speak to my players all the time, so it's not just because of these issues. I have very good conversations on a weekly basis so there was no special talk. I judge them on what I see on the pitch and the training ground, and they are fully focused and professional.
'We've got a social media policy in the club and there will be disciplinary action. That's how we will leave it. I did speak to Ashley, but that's a private conversation. You saw his reaction yesterday, he apologised unreservedly.
'I'm in favour of the social media entities. They just have to be used sensibly, but I'm not against it. It's the world we live in and as long as it's used responsibly it's a good way to communicate. If they breach a rule we have there is going to be consequences.'
On Lampard, who was withdrawn with a niggle in the second half
'Lampard felt a little problem behind his knee so as a precaution we took him off. We'll assess him tomorrow and see [if he will report for England duty].'
On Mata, who was not included in the Spain squad for this week's games
'I am surprised and I am very happy that he stays with me. I feel for him because he's in great form. I don't know the reasons why but we as a club are happy he is going to be with us.'

Access To HE Diploma: Humanities and Social Science (2yrs, Evening) at City Lit
From to
Year 1 (Tuesdays): study skills and literature. Year 2 (Thursdays): history and media studies. Three hours' attendance a week and substantial study at home. Please contact the department to find out if places are available. The Humanities and Social Science Access Course offers you the chance to make a fresh start in education and to prepare for study at university. It is designed for people who would like to study in higher education but left school without the usual qualifications, such as A levels, and aims to help you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed on a degree course. The course is validated by OCNLR (the Open College Network London Region) and leads to the award of the Access to HE Diploma, which is recognised as an entry qualification by universities. It provides a coherent two-year programme of study which combines study skills with a compulsory core of three academic subjects. You will also have regular one-to-one tutorials. Access courses are intended for adults who wish to prepare for degree courses, but have few or no formal qualifications, or have been out of education for some time. They are recognised by universities as equivalent in standard to 'A' level. There are no formal entry requirements for this access course but, as it involves substantial reading and essay writing, you will need to be able to read and respond to a range of texts (fiction and non-fiction), and to communicate information and ideas clearly and effectively in writing. You should also be prepared to contribute to discussion and be able to work in a group.

Looks pretty good to me . The only suggestion I would make , and this is just the way I do my pictures, is to try and introduce a bit more contrast by darkening the shadows. I find it gives the picture a bit more depth and makes the lighter parts seem brighter.
Thank you tyneboy for your help . I appreciate the consideration and will be more contrast conscious in the future .
I like the atmosphere and mood you have created. it feels tranquil and maybe a bit nostalgic? it is hard to tell if it is your photo of the work or if the left side is faded on purpose. if so, it could be because you used a photo as your source and the source photo is lacking contrast or color intensity as the other person suggested (that you add more contrast)? overall compositon is good, I think, and the subject matter feels personal and truthful.
what technique did you use?
i ma not sure what part you want to create as the focal point...but you can play with value thumbnail sketches to see if it matches with what you see in the painting and then adjust accordingly. that is your choice and vision, so I dont think I could 'tell' you what to make darker, lighter, etc.
thanks for sharing this--it is an individual perspective and feels like you have a very personal and unique vision.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me . The painting is indeed nostalgic . The store , apartment building and playground were a part of my life growing up . Your critique is appreciated .
No problem. Good luck on your next piece. I am taking my critique and going to try to work on another version of the painting I put up for feedback. It helps with another pair of eyes.

Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
It worked great
posted by DammselflyPrice Value Quality3I am going to try to completely peel and reapply the fabric with spray/aerosol adhesive. I've had my case for my laptop for about 2 years. I get compliments on it frequently and I love how the fabric doesn't show smudges/fingerprints, and I like the grip. It has been good, no problems other than that for me, but I take obsessive care of my lappy.

Peeled off after a year
posted by Bozidar SpirovskiPrice Value Quality1.7My mac was mostly used in home conditions, and the cloth cover is starting to peel off left and right. Not a long term solution. I am currently investigating options to peel the cloth off completely and repaint the shell (the actually shell is quite good so far)

Not worth the $$!!
posted by KirstiePrice Value Quality1Thankfully I looked around and found this case new on eBay for 1/2 the price. However, it isn't even worth that! Extremely flimsy and cheap. The corner on my bottom piece keeps breaking into pieces and falling off, and never snapped on properly from the beginning. Maybe another model would be better, but I am inclined to look elsewhere after this experience.
Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
Replaced 3 times
posted by ReneePrice Value Quality2.3I bought this case for my MacBook and I've had to have it replaced three times because the fabric kept peeling off of the case. It was also impossible to get off of the laptop and I have the broken nails to prove it! I wouldn't recommend this particular case, however, Speck customer service is probably the best I've ever experienced!
Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
poor quality
posted by LauraValue Quality Price1bought both the black tartan and the purple geometric patterns for two separate Macbook Pros. Within the first couple of months the bottoms on both were coming unsnapped and the cloth covering peeled away from the top part of the case on BOTH laptops. For the price the cases should last more than two months.
Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
Too expensive for lack of quality
posted by CindyPrice Value Quality1I purchased this for my Mac book and all of the corners on bottom of the shells have cracked. I take obsessive care of my computer and have to say for the price I would shop elsewhere in the future. This product was purchased 8 months ago and will most certainly not withstand the test of time or if you are a little rough with your laptop. With the recommendation of cleaning every few weeks... Plastic hardshell not the way to go. This product simply sucks

Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
Pass on this
posted by AnnaQuality Price Value1.7I previously had the See-Thru Satin for almost 4 years and loved it. Never had any problems with it and never made any wear&tear on my Macbook, nor did the actual case ever break. When I received this case in the blue floral pattern for Christmas, I was excited to update my case. However, within weeks, two corner pieces from the bottom case snapped off without being forced, dropped, etc. Now pieces from all four corners have come off, and the bottom case does not stay on very securely at all.
Fitted Cases for MacBook Pro
*NOT* for the Retina Display
posted by ZacharyQuality Price Value3.7It is not very clear that there is a distinction for the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Pro Retina Display.
Speck could do a MUCH better job at clarifying at the outset that this does NOT fit Retina Display MBPs. Fiddled around for a few minutes trying to make it fit, before realizing that it wasn't just me. Felt a bit dumb, but checking the website, it is not obvious anywhere that there should be a distinction. "Fitted for MacBook Pro" does not mean it fits Retina Display models.
Which is too bad, because the case looks otherwise gorgeous, and has been exactly what I was looking for: A case that would protect against minor dings and fit the beautiful aesthetics of this beautiful laptop and allow it to stand out in non-obvious way; and obfuscate the stupid glowing Apple logo. I really wish this case existed for the Retina Displays; I really want it. The others don't appeal to me (makes the glowing apple even more outlandish in my opinion). Oh well.
They make returns easy. Shipped with a return label. Just a hassel and a let-down. Please consider the fabric back cases for the Retina Displays; and to save trouble for future customers, it would only make sense to make clear that this does not fit for Retina Displays!

posted by MaryQuality Price Value2.3The fabric peels away from the edges of the case almost immediately. It does not hold up to normal wear and tear. I would not recommend this case. Very disappointing.

PASCO, WA.- Drive, determination, and love for the sport. That's what it took for one Columbia Basin College student to bring wrestling on campus.
Gilbert Mendoza, a sophomore at the college has spent the last three weeks building his case to start up a wrestling club to the college's club board and recently just got it approved.
Now, he just needs the man power behind the club.
Tuesday, October 22nd, Mendoza and other potential wrestling club members will have their first official team meeting in front of the club board.
So, they're reaching out to CBC students interested in the sport to join their club team.
"I put a lot of time and effort into the sport and coming to CBC knowing they didn't have wrestling, I felt like I had to step up and do something about it," said Mendoza.
Mendoza says if you are interested in becoming a team mate and you are a student at CBC, they want to hear from you.
The new club team is also looking for coaches and sponsorship.
You can contact Mendoza through the "CBC Hawk Wrestling" facebook page for more information.

Centralize Email and Web Security Management
The Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) centralizes management and reporting functions across multiple Cisco email and web security appliances. It simplifies administration and planning, improves compliance monitoring, helps to enable consistent enforcement of policy, and enhances threat protection.

Features and Capabilities
Centralized Management and Reporting
The Cisco SMA simplifies administration by publishing configurations from a single management console to multiple Cisco email and web security appliances. You can manage updates and settings centrally on the Cisco SMA console rather than on the individual appliances. Alternatively, organizations can dedicate specific appliances to individual applications in high-volume deployments.
Fully integrated reporting consolidates real-time traffic data from multiple Cisco email and web security appliances. Here are some of the primary features of Cisco SMA.
Message Tracking
Message tracking aggregates data from multiple Cisco email security appliances, including data categorized by sender, recipient, message subject, and other parameters. Scanning results, such as spam and virus verdicts, are also displayed, as are policy violations.
Web Tracking
Web tracking maintains a record of individual web transactions, with information such as IP address, username, domain name, time accessed, and other details. You'll also get visibility into employee use of Web 2.0 applications, such as Facebook, YouTube, and instant messaging.
Web Reporting
This feature aggregates web tracking information in real time and displays it in a high-level, easy-to-use graphical format. Reporting functionality helps administrators determine the websites, URL categories, and applications that employees can access on company devices.
Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement
Centralized reporting and tracking helps to determine which users are in violation of acceptable use policies. It also:
- Identifies policy infractions across any department or site
- Monitors the use of Web 2.0 applications such as Facebook and YouTube
- Tracks visits to URLs in categories such as "gambling" or "sports"
By centralizing the management of multiple appliances, administrators can enforce consistent acceptable use policies across the organization.
Enhanced Threat Protection
The Cisco SMA delivers a comprehensive view of security for greater threat intelligence, defense, and remediation. That includes centralized management of email spam quarantine, comprehensive threat monitoring across multiple web security gateways, web reputation scoring, and botnet detection. The SMA's reporting capabilities can also be used to identify and address key activities and trends for data loss prevention (DLP) and remediation.

Rivers showed some quick hands there. One steal from Noah. One steal lead to fastbreak
Rivers will learn so much playing against guys like Ray Allen and Rip in a short time. Those dudes will try to take advantage of his greenness.
Aminu is playing some good ball this season
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
Our half court set is very stale, can not be run through robin the goblin.
Let this be Rivers' game. He can take Rip.
Terrible shot by vasquez
Hey, Marco.
Rivers can take him too.
Oof, Belli killing us.
Roberts comes in for GV and this game goes downhill quick. We need a legit backup pg in a bad way.
Roberts has no business being in the game. I mean serious... he doesn't move. He just dribbles around the 3 point line until 5 sec left in shot clock.
Offense is stalling with Roberts, he needs to move the ball around

We need to sign a back up vet point tomorrow, Roberts isn't the answer. Game turned when he came in.

'Landers' seniors in midst of special hoops run
When this group of boys began lacing their basketball shoes, something special was in the air.
By the time Cloudland's four seniors brought their talents to the high school floor they were a well-seasoned unit.
Under head coach Brandon Carpenter, the group of Dylan McClellan, Zac Potter, Taylor Whitehead and Devin Whitehead has grown into one of the more pivotal classes of basketball players in the program's history.
"They work hard and they're talented, but the most important thing is they're a team," Carpenter said last week. "They don't care who scores or who gets the recognition. They're team first."
It's been that way since these boys began playing together in grade school.
"We've been together since we were tiny," said Taylor Whitehead. "We've always been pretty good together and we've kind of grown to where we mesh with each other."
Said McClellan: "From the time we picked up a basketball, we've been together. We all have a great work ethic and love playing basketball together."
In junior high, the unity and work ethic led to wins.
"We knew we had something with this because we were all like brothers before then," Devin Whitehead said. "We just kept playing and got better and better every year."
Added Taylor: "We balled it."
At the high school level, the group has helped Cloudland post an 86-34 mark, including this year's 12-6 record and a No. 9 ranking in the year's Associated Press Class A poll, with two region championships and a pair of state tournament appearances on the resume.

Grey's Anatomy Scoop on April, Mark and a Fiery Finaleby Steve Marsi at .
Grey's Anatomy is back tomorrow night with its first episode in three weeks and the first of five (counting the two-hour finale as two) to close out the current season.
What can we expect Thursday and beyond? Fancast reports the following ...
- On April: When the show returns tomorrow night, the Mercy Wester will be "as creepy as ever" – so much so that people will start noticing. Hmmm.
- On tomorrow night's episode: McSteamy becomes an actual grandfather. Meanwhile, Teddy's vulnerable (and presumably bikini-waxed) side is revealed when her position is thrown into jeopardy, and things only get messier for Mark and Lexie.
- On the game-changing finale: "Seattle Grace Hospital is hit with a crisis like no other in its history," after which "Cristina and Meredith's surgical skills are put to the ultimate test." Okay, that tells us nothing, but your theories are welcomed!
What can we expect from Lexie and April tomorrow?
Meanwhile, TV Guide has this to say about what by all accounts is an explosive season finale: "A multi-car pileup that floods Seattle Grace with victims. Meanwhile, one of hospital's doctors will also have to contend with a deadly fire in her home."
Shonda Rhimes says: "Fans should brace themselves. That's the only way to put it."
"Brace yourself. We're going to take you on a ride for the last two hours of the season, and when the ride is over, none of our characters are going to be the same."
"It's very different in comparison to the other finales."

I think it'll be lexie who accidently sets the house on fire, while alex, mer, and der are at work. Mark comes over to talk to derek and sees the fire and jumps to lexie's rescue and she tells him that she loves him and wants to be with him, after he saves her life. He tells her the same thing and they hook up!
I must say as a Callie/Arizona fan I do love when Shonda writes...last year she wrote the wedding episode and they got a lot of screen time plus a kiss and the bed scene, now these pictures show after a year together they finally get a case together...I only wish the others writers would give them the same attention, all we have gotten for the past 4 episodes is a 2 second scene at the end of an episode.
Hmm I think crazy lady will go to Mer/Dericks house to kill Mer, Derick will jump in front and get stabbed. In the tussle candles will get knocked over setting the house on fire. Crazy lady will die in the fire. Christina and Mer will have to operate on Derick to save his life in the front yard of the house while it burns.
my main theory centres around the man from the last episode who lost his wife
he is back a week on thursay to press charges/sue the hospital and derek as he doesnt think his wife should have died etc!
for the finale there was talk on a casting slide of a 50+ year old man coming to the hospital with a 'bag' but it clearly said name of actor cannot be released yet....i think this is because its the same man coming back for his revenge on derek and the hospital!
o, not sure exactly what he is goign to do but i think it involves him taking meredith hostage as he wants to hirt dereks wife and hurt derek in the same way he has been hurt by losing his wife!
i think that maybe april will recognise the man but not tell derek that he was there or that mer was treating him!
the theory goes on that either mer or der will end up getting hurt becuse of the crazy man.....
BUT after the little bit of news that mer and cris surgical skills are tested to the limits this got me thinking some more and started changing slightly what happens! at first i was very much mer gettign hurt, derek saving her etc but now im wondering if it could be the other way round?
does mer get taken hostage, derek tracks them down to an OR, scrub room etc? and he is the one who ends up getting hurt and mer has to operate on him to save his life, hospital is on lock down cos of the hostage thing so she is on her own (or with cristina - but she could be somewhere else operating on someone else....who knows!) AND it could end with him in hospital bed, mer sayign she preg?? but not sure about that bit!
other possible idea is that crazy april pretends to be dereks wife when the man is looking for the chiefs wife, she might say its her.....and mer ends up saving her even tho she was the crazy girl who stalked her husband....dont think i like that theory tho!!
my OTHER thought was if it is derek thats hurt does mer have to save his life whilst she is hurt too? i have a feeling going into finale her and cris have had a falling out so may have to do somethign together even tho they not speaking!
oh finally when it says a man with a bag.....i think he has a gun or a bomb in the bag.....i think it could BLOW haha!
all that aside if this man doesnt come back...........
i think the 50+ year old man is thatcher and thats why lexie is crying on the pics from set we have seen with mark haha!!
lots of bases covered there!!
prob all wrong!!!
i have seen the slides that say an appartment block on fire too so im assuming the fire is in the place mark callie ariz cris etc all live unless they are just been clever on the slides saying apaprtment as a cover and it is mers house?
so many possibilities!!!!
I that April has a multiple personality a trouble of the personality.She's dangerous person for this.She can do all ,a homicide or a kidnapper,she can be all.I think that SHE 's hiding in the conferencs office and shespies Derek and Mer.I know i see so much scary -movie ,but i think this.
Mark is a gran-father and he'll lose all and he'lll go to bed with Reed ,it'seems.
Have to say The comment about Kepner putting on Der's discarded scrubs kinda makes sense, and that she gets caught doing it. MAybe the Mer photos with Kepner will make Kepner realise she's an intellegent woman who's acting OTT, and for her own sake she needs to leave SHWMH. Exit Kepner
I think it would be an end of an era if they burnt down Mer's house. It's been in her family for 3 or 4 generations. Plus it would mean Alex and lex would have to look elsewhere for a home(hooray). I'm not sure Der would really contemplate staying in the trailer long term when he has plans to build Mer a home.
The fire could be Kepner related cos she did get given the house keys when she collected Mer's clothes for the Trustees Brunch.
But I don't think we can assume Mer will be the injured woman. It's someone else's turn to to be on an OR table

Austin >Food & Dining > Cafe Java
11900 Metric Blvd Ste K, Austin, TX | Directions 7875830.400290 -97.703733
Mon. - Sun. 7am - 9pm
Neighborhoods: North Burnet - Gateway, North Burnet
Cozy breakfast hangout in a hidden N. Austin shopping center. I always love the lunch specials and the coffee, of course!! Grab a cup and a breakfast taco for a cheap and easy breakfast.
Cheap, quick, delicious, fresh – Cafe Java looks like just a regular diner - and in the end, that's exactly what it is. The key to this place's awesomeness is that it does every single thing RIGHT.
First off, the establishment itself. Smart (and convenient) location, since Northwest Austin doesn't have a ton of good local eateries compared to other parts of the city. The decor is decidedly Longhorn, which, as an Aggie, is something I'll refrain from commenting on. :P Apart from that, it's always clean and orderly, and there always seems to be a table available.
Next, the staff. This place uses the tip jar methodology, and so you won't usually have just one waiter/waitress. This definitely works in its favor, as there is always at least one staff member constantly patrolling for coffee refills, dirty dish removal, or even idle chit-chat. They're all extremely personable, which makes this place a joy to eat whether you're alone or with a group.
Most importantly, the food. The fare is what you'd expect - omelets, eggs and bacon, sandwiches, pancakes. The thing that puts it over the top is the freshness of everything. As an example, I was in here for a quick lunch today and got the grilled turkey & swiss sandwich, and then potato salad as an afterthought. The sandwich was awesome, but the potato salad was just out of this world, way better than i expected. They used the little red potatoes (new potatoes I guess they're called?) and they were perfectly tender. The mayonnaise-based dressing was light and refreshing, which was perfect on this hot day, and there was the perfect amount of chives and boiled egg pieces. It was obviously homemade and extremely fresh and delicious.
They also roast & grind their own coffee beans, and it shows. Their coffee is delicious. Really, I could go on and on about the food that I've eaten here; all you really need to know is that you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
I was only in Austin for the summer, and of everything I experienced, Cafe Java will be up there on the list of things I'll miss. Five stars, easy.
Quaint little joint up north – This is a cozy little place tucked away in North Austin. I have only tried the breakfast plates and I have to say they are absolutely delicious. I really do like coming here so I highly recommend it. I give it 4 stars just because I haven't tried their dinner menu. I always go for the breakfast even during non-breakfast hours.
I Freakin Love This Place!! – I eat in and take out here alot. I started eating here about 4 years ago and this is the only cafe I consistantly keep coming back to. The food is presented very well every time, the service is prompt and friendly, and the cheesecake is my favorite. When I go to pay the bill, usually "grandma" is there waiting to collect your ticket and your money, she is a very sweet and charming woman, making your exit to this cafe memorable, handing out quarters for the little ones to get a piece of bubblegum out of their big gumball machine. I love it!!
Hipster Hangout – Cafe Java is a very casual, unassuming atmosphere with amazingly savory cuisine. Every dish I've tried imparts a homecooked feel--nothing comes across prepared and packaged. I've been here repeatedly for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a consistently positive experience.
Good Fast Metro Diner in N. Austin – The metro diner you have been looking for in North Austin. Seat yourself, order and eat within a few minutes. great staff serving great breakfast in an insanely efficient manner.
Neighborhood treasure in north central Austin – While Austin has lots of great little casual eateries in town ( The Omelettry, Zocolo's, etc), very few are to be found up north. This is one of them. We love the breakfasts (not just for breakfast!) and the dinner specials are great. I'm not sure if Herosmurf had a bad experience, but we've been coming here in the evenings almost weekly for over a year and always look forward to seeing the friendly staff and trying the recommended specials. Come as you are - summer shorts or just getting home from the office.
For dinner we love the tomato basil soup (on Fridays) which rivals any in town (Andiamo's is great also!) and the meatloaf (on Mondays) which is on par with that from Moonshine. We really know Austin food, and Cafe Java is a favorite spot for us for comfort, food, and convenience.
We have always found the staff to be very accommodating, and they will go out of their way to let us know if the specials are still available or not. But it's true: if they have one you want, get there early or risk missing out - unless you call ahead!
Best breakfast - Worst dinner – Cafe Java is one of those places that can make pancakes that are sublime. Breakfast is great. They have a wonderful breakfast staff. It's kind of an earthy-crunchy environment, but everything is done quickly and efficiently and it's absolutely delicious. The bacon comes out just right. The eggs are cooked exactly as you asked for them. The pancakes don't do that obnoxious super-absorbent syrup thing that lots of restaurants get wrong. They do a very good breakfast.
Then, something changes at night. The restaurant becomes bad. I think whoever cooks in the evening there should probably be fired. It reminds me of Hell's Kitchen. I've gone in just a couple of times in the evening for dinner, and each time my food ended up in my napkin because it was appalling. Nasty wilted lettuce. Flavors that just make you wonder how old the food is and whether or not you got something that somebody else sent back. Just bad!!! You would have to pay me to try dinner there again.
my favorite restaurant – Why does everyone say the coffee at Cafe Java is so good? Except for the "iced toddie", the coffee at Java tends to be mediocre. It doesn't compare with Starbucks. In fact, if the food were not so wonderful, I probably wouldn't come here every day.
Avoid coming between noon and 1pm; it is often very crowded. Order anything on the menu that sounds good to you; everything will be rather better than you expect. Except the coffee!
It's Like Eating With Family – Cafe Java is a fabulous little restaurant basically hidden in North Austin. Hands down they have the most awesome coffee and breakfast - OMG the hashbrowns are THE BEST in Austin!! Everything is very affordable, and always yummy.
These are great reasons to eat a Cafe Java, but the main reason that I love this place so much is that it is truly a neighborhood business, and when I eat there I feel cozy, like eating at home (but with better hashbrowns) :-) It family owned and operated, and in the 8 years I have been visiting CJ these are the things I notice about them: Consistency, Low Staff Turnover, Great Food, Fun Atmosphere, Supports Local Artists, LOTS of Regulars!!
I am sorry for the person who gave them 1 star for running out of specials. I feel like this person is narrow minded, and misses the point. The reason they run out is because the specials are so awesome! If they never ran out, then they wouldn't be very "special" would they. My advice is to get there early and quit whining.
Great coffee AND breakfast – Finding a place that has good coffee and a great breakfast is pretty rare. Cafe Java is a gem because it offers both. Sadly we don't live near it anymore but it hasn't stopped us from trekking up north for a good meal! Sometimes there's a wait but it goes right quick so don't get put off if you see people waiting to be seated.

text: Knees are for jumping, bending, and skinning — not sitting on to reach the dinner table. So when traditional boosters no longer cut it (too tight) and little eaters have inches to grow, try a Luv Chicken cushion. Unlike other booster seats, this comfy pad is fifteen inches wide and designed to cover the entire seat of the chair. Hiking kids up an extra four inches, the cushion puts most 2- to 8-year-olds squarely in front of their plates. Each lift is upholstered in a coated fabric that makes it easy to wipe away splatters and spills. And the cushions have nonslip bottoms, so they stay put for the entire meal. Wish we could say the same thing about our kids. Available at luvchicken.com, $45.Photo: Courtesy of Luv Chicken

Also note that there is an amplifier at the dish, and it gets power via the cable through the center connector and the shield...both connections must be tight and be making good contact, or the amp looses power, and the signal gets lost. I'd call the installers back, but first, I'd check all of the nuts on the cables to see if they're tight.

If you've never had the real stuff, then you'll fall in love with the succulent taste of this satay recipe, which has been passed down through my husband's family (from Thailand) for many generations. Strips of chicken (or beef) are marinated in a special Thai paste, then skewered and grilled on the BBQ or broiled in the oven. It is then served with homemade peanut sauce for the ultimate taste sensation. Even your kids will love it. Chicken Satay also makes a great party food!

The food was excellent. Be warned - the portions are huge! A pizza is about the size of a dinner plate and could easily feed three adults (with all those toppings piled high.) This is a nice place to stop if you happen to be in the Mirage and need a bite to eat. The service was fast and friendly.

Hello Africa. British, living in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada
Hello - I am British, and have been fortunate enough to live and hunt in British Columbia Canada for about thirty years. It is a rugged, mountainous, vast area with huge wilderness areas, with what I consider to be the best game hunting in Canada.
I hunt Mule / Whitetail / Coastal Blacktail Deer regularly, Elk and Moose sporadically,and have also hunted coyote, black bears, cougar and smaller game.
Still on my list is to hunt the great Grizzly Bears in British Columbia, hopefully next Spring, and (only in my dreams to-date), a hunt in Africa.
i have joined this forum to learn more about African hunting and hunters / outdoors lovers like myself.

BCShadow, Welcome aboard and one snippet of advice. If you fulfill that dream, be prepared to contract AOCHD, no matter where you hunt Africa. What is AOCHD?
It's short for African Obsessive Compulsive Hunting Disorder. Symptoms include incessant bringing up with other hunters that you hunted Africa, religiously perusing the TV schedules for shows on Africa, maxxing out your smartphone SD card with African hunt photos, changing your forum avatars to photos of various African related hunt photos or animals, planning your return trip before you leave, buying or building new rifles for the next hunt, and a twinkle in one's eye when someone brings up AFRICA!. Most afflicted swear they can resist the urge to go back but up to this point there is no known cure. Long term effects are trophy rooms, depleted bank accounts and smaller inheritances for offspring and the dreaded AIDS (African Induced Divorce Syndrome).

A Harvard MBA's radical quest to erase his debtMay 16, 2012: 10:39 AM ET
B-school grad Joe Mihalic went on an extreme financial diet to pay down over $90,000 in debt in just seven months and charted his story through an anonymous blogging project.
By John A. Byrne
(Poets&Quants) -- When he graduated from the Harvard Business School three years ago this month, the economy was a wreck. Nearly one in four of his classmates didn't have a job at graduation in May 2009. Yet, Joe Mihalic, then 26, was able to land a job with Dell (DELL) in Austin, Texas, at twice as much as the $52,000 a year he made before earning his MBA.
But there was some overhang from his experience in Boston: roughly $101,000 in loans that he had to borrow to get the degree, even after Harvard gave him $54,000 in fellowship support.
Mihalic, of course, is hardly alone. The average debt of a Harvard MBA last year was $77,880, up from $73,110 a year earlier. Wharton MBAs, however, racked up average debt loads estimated to be an unprecedented $114,000, and the median financial burden for an MBA from a top-10 business school from the Class of 2011 is about $88,500.
Despite Mihalic's six-figure burden in the midst of the economic downturn, he gleefully jumped into a free-spending lifestyle that had defined his MBA experience. He bought a 2004 BMW M3 in the same month he graduated from Harvard. From Thursday to Saturday nights, he did the town with pricey dinners and drinks. For his 28th birthday, he barhopped with friends in a black stretch Hummer. Though Mihalic had budgeted $850 a month for entertainment, he was commonly spending $1,300 monthly.
But there was one place where he didn't slough off. For 21 months straight, he dutifully made the monthly $1,057 payments on his student debt. It wasn't until last summer, when he checked his balance, was he thrown into shock. After paying out more than $22,000, he still owed $90,717, a sum that exceeded his after-tax salary for a year.
Going the extreme financial diet route
A back-of-the-envelope calculation showed that Mihalic would pay $42,000 in additional interest if the loans went to their natural 10- and 15-year terms. That is when he vowed to go on an extreme financial diet to get rid of the burden. "Student loans are a strange animal," he reasoned. "Unlike a payment towards a car loan or a mortgage, a student loan payment doesn't go towards something that is benefitting me in a direct way."
He vowed to do "everything in my power -- short of lying, cheating, and stealing -- to pay down this debt in the next 10 months." Except that in his case, he also decided to chronicle the journey on a blog called No More Harvard Debt. The idea to anonymously write about the sacrifices he was about to make occurred to Mihalic last August after knocking out a cover letter to apply for a weekend delivery job.
Even to him, taking a part-time position to pay down more of his debt seemed like a peculiar thing to do as a Harvard MBA with a six-figure management job at a Fortune 50 company. "I took a step back and it wasn't until I stopped laughing at myself that I realized others might enjoy laughing at me, too," he recalls. "The blog started as a joke. I had every intention of following through on my challenge when I started it, but I wanted to let people be amused by it and get a laugh at it, too."
Over the next seven-and-a-half months, through 88 separate posts, he vividly describes his experience. His blog is, at times, introspective, witty, and sincere, often inspirational. His finances are laid bare, open for all to see as if he were dissecting a frog in a high school lab. From his $20 haircuts to his monthly car insurance of $171, he meticulously details every expense and just about every source of revenue in his life. He writes with humor and flair on what it is like to be a cheap date over a cup of coffee or a hike in the woods.
But what allows Mihalic to maintain this entertaining and often addictive narrative of what he calls "the walk to debt freedom" was his extreme goal. The challenge resulted in sacrifices that few of his classmates could ever endure. He gave up all dinner dates and didn't go to a single movie. He stopped contributing to his 401k plan, decided against going home for Christmas, and missed his friends' parties and weddings. When he went to bars with friends, he carried a flask with booze to mix with his purchased Coke (KO). He shared a NetFlix (NFLX) account and refused to buy a single article of clothing.
To earn extra money, he sold his second car and a motorcycle, rented his spare bedrooms to strangers through Craiglist, and started a side business doing landscaping work. Quickly, he chipped away at his debt. To start, he liquidated his IRA account for $8,000, sold stock worth $14,000, and used about $3,000 of available cash to wipe out one loan. Within seven months, he managed to make his final payment and rid himself of all his debt in March of this year -- three months ahead of his goal.
Leaning on thrifty origins
His fanaticism to quickly toss off the debt albatross has its roots in a relatively modest upbringing, despite the fact that his father is a successful auto executive. "I come from a family that respects the value of money -- almost to a fault," he explained in one post. "While money never appeared to be tight, it never got thrown around, either. My mom bought my clothes at Kohl's. If I wanted name brand, I had to pay for it myself. My mom spent her Saturday mornings clipping coupons. Every single Saturday evening -- without fail, no exaggerations -- we went to mass followed by dinner at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, or some similarly priced restaurant."
One anecdote is especially telling. "My dad is extremely careful with money, and he has gone to lengths to try to instill that value within me," the Harvard MBA wrote. "It took him two weeks and a couple of trips to K-Mart before he finally bought me a bicycle when I was five. When I outgrew that, he paid for a second bike a few years later. On the car ride home after the second shopping trip, he told me that that would be the last bike he ever paid for."
After he graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in business in 2005, he went to work as a supervisor in a factory in Austin. "I decided the bonuses and raises of my blue-collar staff, so I knew how little they made and I saw how many of them were living paycheck to paycheck," he wrote. "In addition, the factory was constantly under the threat of being outsourced and off-shored. Between these two influences, I never felt fat and happy, and was always watching my back for that tap on the shoulder that signals the beginning of a lay-off."
Weaning off of the MBA spending culture
He concedes now that a shift in his lifestyle occurred during his two years in the MBA program at Harvard. "At HBS, $100 dinners for one person in downtown Boston are a standard affair," he says. "Nobody thinks twice about taking an international vacation -- they just go. I remember a friend told me she was going with a group of students to Oktoberfest for the weekend. I asked her what bar she was heading to. She laughed at me and told me the bars in Germany -- she was going to the actual Oktoberfest -- for the weekend!"
His conclusion is obvious, yet filled with truth. "A lot of people in this country -- regardless of socioeconomic status -- have an unhealthy obsession with things and experiences and statuses. We shop brands; we drop names. We try to keep up with the Joneses. We comfortably tolerate an unhealthy level of debt."
Each day during his challenge, Mihalic would pore over a spreadsheet that tracked his progress. The negatives, when he went over his budget, were marked in red, and the positives were in green. On March 29, after seven months of discipline and patience, he made his final payment on the debt. Mihalic says he then had to ask his roommates for their rent a few days early so he could meet his mortgage payment three days later.
"I felt good," he recalls. "I knew that the reward would be worth it. I got misty-eyed looking at the progress I made and all the work that went into it. My heart was beating so hard and I was still in shock that I had done it. On that day I made that payment, I had nothing. But every day I go to work now I'm actually increasing my wealth instead of reducing my debt."
