Another member of the Patriots Nation. Born in Boston (Hyde Park) and have lived in the DC area 20 years. Now live in Severna Park, MD - not far from Kent Island. All 3 boys are Pats/Sox/Celts fans and battle Kent Island in lax, baseball and soccer all the time.
Bill Bateman's and Green Turtle are good places to watch a Pats game...especially if the Ravens aren't hogging up all the TVs.

I have lived in the great state of Maine most of my life, penobscot bay area. I spent a brief time in Acton, Mass and in parts of Georgia. I am the 4th of 5 children, 2 older brothers, 2 sisters and I'm the only one in my family who followed sports. I played football (running back) and ran track (hurdles and triple jump) in high school.
I am married with 3 children, 2 grandchildren with 2 more expecting. Life is good!
My earliest memories of the Patriots was in 1973 watching OJ Simpson rush for 469 of his 2003 yards against us. My first time attending a game was at Schaefer Stadium in 1979 against Air Coryell's Chargers.

Born and raised on the Canadian prairie in a small town. Moved to Winnipeg years ago for university. Married, 25 years last month, two kids.
Been a Pats fan since I was a kid. Given the geography never been to a game in Foxboro, although I did see the Pats live a few years back in Minny where they beat the Vikes on Monday Night.
Hockey is really the only other sport I care about. Played in my younger days, now happy to watch my son play who is better than I ever was.

[/QUOTE]The local CFL team had a RB named Mack Herron way back. He was my favorite player. He was let go because of a drug issue I think.
My first memory of watching the NFL was a Pats game and Mack Herron was on the team. I think he may have ran a kick back for a TD that game but the memory is a bit hazy.
Anyway I was a Pats fan from that point on.

Moved back to Boston in my teens and I've lived here ever since. Been a diehard Pats/Bruins/Celts fan since I could pick up a football. I used to enjoy the Sox games but I've pretty much lost interest in baseball the past few years, its just too boring.
By the way, I'm looking forward to Nov 2 when the Hokies come to Chestnut Hill! Usually a great game between those two teams. Go Eagles!

Like Stegall85, I also grew up in a small Canadian prairie town in Saskatchewan. My grandfather grew up in the Boston area and moved to Canada after he met my grandmother while in College. I started watching Patriots games back in the mid 90's when I was a young kid and have been a fan ever since. I went to university in Saskatchewan for Geological Engineering and I am now currently a Petroleum Geologist in the always busy Oil Patch up here in Saskatchwan!

Born in Springfield Ma, 1961. Dad was in Army so we moved a lot but i graduated highschool in 1981 from Technical Highschool in Springfield. Joined the Army and stayed in just short of 25 years with tours in Desert storm, Bosnia, and then Iraqi feedom flying Apaches. Retired in 2005 while stationed in Germany and got a job where I live now in Tucson Az, flying Apaches as a contractor with the Guard. Diehard Pats fan but not much love for the other sports but do root for all Boston teams because I have a lot of family who love the Sox and Bruins. I do like USA soccer men and women. Married to a Brit and have two kids one son and one daughter, my daughter is the athlete and is a freshmen in highschool on the JV team for Volleyball and is the only freshman that made that team, yes I am proud!!!

When my Dad retired from the Army we first moved back to Lee Mass in the Berckshires( 11th grade) and we were the Lee High Wildcats with school colors of Orange and white. We moved to Springfield later that year cause Dad couldn't get work out there so I finished a Tech tiger school colors Orange and white :( The Tigers were on a three year loser streak before I got there but I change all that when I joined the team and by God we won one game that year!!! :) Actually beat Classical high just across State street from us. Good times.
wow ! some memories Tech and Classical ( State street right?) , they are both gone now, Springfield Central right.

Nice! I'm a very competitive guy and my friends love to get me worked up so they always try to take cheap shots at the Pats...I quickly remind them that they are Skins fans and then suddenly, the room goes silent.
As a B's fan, I could never manage to hate the Leafs. I like their history, franchise, etc. so I could never really hate them. Plus, in my lifetime, they've sucked. It would probably be different for me if I lived in Toronto like you. I do, however, despise the Habs. Ugh. They are the Jets (New York) fans of Hockey.
Funny that you bring up the BC/Tech game. Obviously, being from Virginia, everybody in my area LOVES the Hokies, no matter if they are alumni or not. It's like Penn State. It's a damn cult. Growing up, I was always a BC fan so I never liked Tech football. The older I got and the more I realized I wanted to go to Tech, the football team grew on me and I am now of course a diehard. When we don't play BC, I still root for them, though. Have a blast at the game! I'll be sure to send you a DM once my Hokies whoop up on ya ;)

I'm 40 grew up in Quincy, I lived in Southie most of my adult life and started a small business there. I actually just moved back to Quincy but still work in SB. Divorced 7 year old daughter.
I'm amazed how many people on this board don't live in MASS, I guess I'm lucky, I split season tickets with a friend, I've never gone to a practice but make it to 4-6 games a year.... Sometimes not so lucky so of the games a F#R*#ing cold....
All you guys that live out of state, I know how passionate you are reading your threads, get to a game once a year, that's what its all about, it's such a great atmosphere. Would hate to ever move away from that.

I`m from Brazil, and I live in Sao Paulo, I always loved sports, I`m very young 17, and I`m going to college next year to study law. My first game was Pitt vs Cards in the SuperBowl, Man that team was really exciting to watch and I really wanted they to win but they lose. After that I started reading about NFL, and watched the next season but I didn`t have a team to root yet, in 2010 I started to root for the Pats and I`m very happy with the pats in 2011 I become to root to all Boston team and this is my favorite city in the us, I really want to go to Boston one day and watch a Pats game before Brady retires, that`s my history.
One of the best gifts of my life was my wife getting be tickets to a Pats game. We were 4 rows behind the Pats bench on the 50 yard line. Got to hear BB yelling at everyone including the Refs. Just seeing the players interact was so cool within the context of the game.

Moved from the West to Boston back in '95 to study at one of the great Boston area schools. I was a Red Sox fan back then, but with no loyalty to any NFL team. I was ripe for getting into a team and the timing could not be perfect. The '96 Patriots happened and there you go.
I am not back in the West, but by the time I left, I had lived a third of my life there (I worked in that area before leaving). I lived in Back Bay, Beacon Hill (West Cedar, right behind King and I, if it's still there), along Memorial Drive, Brookline Village and Roslindale.

Grew up in NH, mostly Belmont. Wasn't into the NFL until the area went crazy the season leading up to SB XX. Couldn't escape the NFL that year lol. Been a fan since then. Haven't lived in New England in a looong time. I've lived in TX, FL, CA, HI, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Germany, and currently live on Whidbey Island in WA.
This is what being level-headed sounds like.

I moved to the New England area to to go to college in Cambridge in 1974 and never really left, except for a few years abroad. Married a girl from East Boston, and discovered that I married her entire Irish clan. Very happily (and silently) married for 33 years now with five kids, who are beginning their own lives now and are my pride and joy. We moved to Maryland a few years ago, where I own a business. I am, and always will be, a fanatic Boston sports fan; an admitted homer whose teams can do no wrong, rain or shine. Lucky enough to have seen all my favorite teams play at one time or the other, and a few memorable games as well. I enjoy this forum and the company of strangers who all have at least one thing in common - a shared passion (affliction?) for the Patriots. I can forgive all else.

You may have decided to buy wild vs. farmed salmon but finding other sustainable seafood isn't an easy task. At present the USDA has no organic certification program for seafood (an organic seafood label may mean nothing or that the fish was certified "organic" overseas). For sound environmental information, go the Blue Ocean Institute and Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch websites. At the fish counter, look for the labels listed below.
Blue Ocean Institute, led by noted marine biologist Carl Safina, has a Guide to Ocean-Friendly Seafood that gives each species of fish a green (good), yellow or red (avoid) rating. For example, green fish are relatively abundant and their fishing or farming methods do little damage to natural habitats and other wildlife; a "red" rank means the species is subject to overfishing or is farmed using methods that harm the environment or wild fish. Search the guide (and download a wallet-size card of it) at blueoceaninstitute.org/seafood—or by entering fishphone.org into your PDA browser.
Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch recommends fish based on current scientific data on environmental and health concerns and direct interactions with fishery and fish-farm operators. Visit the website montereybayaquarium.org or access its guides on your cell phone at seafoodwatch.org.

To: All Employees
From: Marty Landon
Date: March 19, 2013
In an effort to maintain transparency regarding the company's status, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a current update to each of you.
Over the last week we have reached a formal agreement with our lenders that would fund core operations while the company develops a viable business model for this healthcare sector. Essentially, we have to remake our operations to provide our products and services much more efficiently and always in compliance with government requirements while continuing to deliver exceptional support.
With respect to the furlough announced a week ago Friday, we have brought back approximately 300 employees (117 in New Braunfels and the remaining in the field) to assist in meeting customer requirements and supporting operations. While the Company continues to develop its strategic and operational plan, one thing has become clear, the new company will have significantly fewer employees than before. Unfortunately, without a significant change to our capital structure, employees still on furlough will be permanently laid off effective March 31, 2013. All employees who have been furloughed will be receiving a formal notice in the mail, but I wanted to notify you personally as soon as practicable and let you know how much we appreciate your effort and dedication to this Company. In addition, New Braunfels employees who have been recalled will receive a separate letter consistent with applicable law. Recalled employees outside of New Braunfels should not expect to receive any additional communication at this time. We regret that we could not provide more advanced notice. Recognizing many of you will have questions, I have included two documents for your assistance: a list of frequently asked questions and the associated answers, as well as a benefits contact document.
Thank you again for all of your hard work and dedication to this Company. We recognize the challenges this circumstance places on you and your loved ones, and continue to work diligently to define the appropriate path for the Company. Your commitment to our customers in need over the months and years has been unwavering and a source of strength to many.

Drag-On – Down Bottom Lyrics
[Juve] Mmmm hmmmmm
[Drag] Ha ha hah
Oh! Damn, now bop to this
Yeah, uhh, uhh, y'all know what this is (flame on)
Juvenile, Drag-On (flame on)
And now.. Swizz Swizz Beats, yea!
Me and my niggas done licked shots, even done hit cops
Betcha niggas can't wait til my shit drop
Treat you like your momma, give you lip a pop
Nigga you don't want my clip to drop
Cause that means I'm empty, and you're full of it
Check what the bullet did
Missiles gonna hit you get you, rip through tissue
Shoot another rhyme just cause I missed you
I make plus cash, you little niggas can't fuck wit Drag
Got the chain out, so his muscle grabs
Nigga fuck that, you better bust back
'fore ya monkey-ass land where the dust at
Ride like the girl but you can't trust cash
Spit line of fire and he can't touch black
All you can do is cuss back
In your weak raps bout how you bust gats
Nigga we don't need that, I don't care about your feedback
Y'all niggas don't feed Drag
Til a motherfucker pull out, bust a bullet out
In the safe house, nigga where the keys at
Nigga where the stash at, nigga where the weed at
Nigga pass that 'fore I pull my trigger
Matter fact where the ass at, cause I got the "Rough Rider"
And I ain't talkin bout my niggas
Cause nigga we can go ho for ho, toe to toe, blow for blow
And when you feel your nose crack
That mean I broke that, I fill a po'-po' wit a flame thrower
Like I told yo' befo' ya know umm - you can't handle
You can put me on wax but my fire burn candles
And who that nigga Ruff Rydin, Drag-On
Y'all niggas and Southsiders
Chorus: Drag-On + Various (repeat 2X)
Do y'all niggas bust y'all guns?
(Hell yeah we bust our guns!!)
Do y'all fuck them til they cum?
(Damn right we make them cum!!)
It's for the North (HEY) South (HEY)
East (HEY) West (HEY)
Ruff Ryders gonna show y'all niggas who ride the best
Hmmmm, hmmmmmmmm
In the late night, we be cockin high and givin you stage fright
Yo head might explode, when I bust with the lead pipe
Now say it right, Juvenile, HE tight
Stay hype, now page Mike and make sure he got all the yea, aight?
I'm tired of you niggas, be thinkin that you usin me
Runnin with them petty-ass niggas lookin like fools to me
I'm workin wit some change aiy
And ain't afraid to put fifty up on ya brain yay
You bout warrin over yo' people I'm the same yay
Look, I'mma have somebody sayin that's the shame yay
But if them people come they ain't gon' give no names yay
Play with the number one stun'na don't play no games yay
Come outside and see nothin but camouflage and bricks
Them gather up boys strapped with cannons
Tryin to knock off yo' shit, you stanky bitch
I'll Ruff Ryde your ass then, Cash in for Money
Juven' ain't gettin nuttin ha ha hah that shit is funny
When my niggas get knocked we gonna bail them out
When it come to my gun my shells is out
You better get the message, cause I done mailed it out
That I'mma bang it like a hammer and I'mma nail the South
East West, and write letters for my niggas up North
My guns made in China, so you better dust off
Comin to getcha, you gon' bleed ketchup, I always got cheddar
I never ass bet ya, and I won't even sweat ya
You won't roll four and better
My dough is never low, but if Drag is down on his last
I'mma reach in my sweater, bet my Baretta
Make a nigga feel the heat in the cold weather
Can't stand a nigga hype, throw me his bitch
Bitch come to my shit, you betta come get her
Be like a dog with a bone I run with her
Y'all make me so tired
Y'all niggas still rappin like you don't know my flow is fire
And y'all ain't got ya suits, ain't got ya boots
Probably gotta gun that ain't never shoot
When we come you better hope they don't name you
Cause like two sticks rubbin I'll flame you
Don't try to be me cause I ain't you
'fore I have your spirit with the angels
My shorty keep a gun on the ankles
Wanna fuck? Watch out she'll bang you
Cause I taught her well, y'all players better haul to hell
But you niggas couldn't borrow a belt
Whoever wit you is goin to jail
Do you niggas bust your guns? Oh you ain't bustin none, huh?
You wanna fuck em til they cum, huh?
Drag-On, Juvenile, Double R, what you want huh?
Chorus 2X

Maria Kanellis Maria
(Former WWE Diva;
The Celebrity Apprentice
*Appearing Courtesy of MGM Collectibles
Maria Kanellis is an actress, singer, TV hostess/personality, former WWE Diva and aspiring fashion designer. She appeared on NBCs Celebrity Apprentice competing against fellow celebrities Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper and Bret Michaels, among others. She released her first music album, a 4 song EP Seven Sins, on April 13th, 2010. She is best known as a former professional wrestler and personality within World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) for the past 5 years. She is also a backstage correspondent for HDNets MMA series King of the Cage also from Mark Burnett Productions.
Maria Louise Kanellis was born on February 25, 1982 in Ottawa, Illinois. The oldest of three siblings she grew up surrounded by cars and her free time was spent juggling sports, pageants and dancing. In 2004, Maria made her first of many television appearances when she was a contestant on the reality series Outback Jack. Soon after she tried out for the WWE Diva Search and placed fifth out of thousands of contestants. Although she was eliminated, Maria was later hired by WWE as a backstage interviewer on Monday Night Raw and began training for the next 3 years at the Ohio Valley Wrestling facility. She began competing in the ring as a wrestler in 2005. After her debut Maria worked alongside the companys biggest superstars including John Cena, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Maria never shied away from angles or story lines and is most comfortable in the spotlight. She posed for the April 2008 cover and pictorial in Playboy magazine, which WWE incorporated into one of the years most popular story-lines on Monday Night Raw. For the Playboy shoot, Maria chose several elements, including lighting, wardrobe and style. She even designed and produced some of her own wardrobe for this high-fashion themed layout. She has also created outfits for her wrestling matches, television appearances, red carpet charity events and high profile WWE ceremonies.
Maria enjoyed some cross-over success while with the WWE, making several TV appearances. She has co-hosted G4 Networks Attack of the Show and she lists Deal or No Deal, Family Feud, Project Runway, VH1s Top 20 Video Countdown, The Insider, Best Damn Sports Show, Red Eye, and The Today Show, among several television appearances on her resume.
On Celebrity Apprentice, Maria worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation as her charity of choice during filming. She is very active when it comes to other charitable organizations, such as Generation Rescue, Paws For Style, St. Judes Children Hospital and The Kentucky Humane Society to name a few. Philanthropy holds a special place with Maria as she continually donates her time and money towards newfound, worthy causes. She has traveled overseas with the WWE from 2005-2008 for its annual USO Tribute to the Troops Tour, donating her time and energy to entertain and spread goodwill to our servicemen and women stationed overseas.
Maria was recently named WWEs Diva of the Year for 2009, a popular fan vote as decided by the WWE Universe. Shortly after she was released unexpectedly by the WWE, citing Marias deep desire to pursue outside interests, such as TV, movies, and writing and producing her own music. Maria describes her rock music as a combination of glamour, twisted lyrics and sex appeal. The first EP is titled Sevin Sins.
Maria is only beginnng her rise to stardom but already has millions of fans worldwide and an intense drive for success. Her creativity is evident in everything she does. Marias life mantra that inspires her is Passion is my Motivation.

This week, the official Chelsea website brings you news of the FA Cup fifth round draw, as well as all the details surrounding an exciting UEFA festival coming to the capital in May…
Champions League fever looms
As Stamford Bridge prepares to play host to the 2013 Women's Champions League final in May, UEFA are bringing the Champions Festival to London.
Running from Thursday 23 May through until Sunday 26 May, the festival, which is free to attend, will feature a whole host of activities for families and football supporters of all ages, including giving fans the opportunity to have their photo taken with both the Champions League and Women's Champions League trophies.
Festival attendees will also have the chance to visit the UEFA Champions League Museum to experience all the memories of past tournaments, with children able to take part in a variety of skills clinics and coaching courses put on by professional coaches throughout the week.
Festival ambassadors, including Faye White, one of the most iconic figures in women's football, will be on hand to meet and greet fans, who will also be invited to participate in an exciting schedule of entertainment hosted by UEFA Champions League partners.
The Champions Festival will be the first major event to come to the home of the 2012 London Olympics, taking place at the International Quarter, close to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
With more details set to be announced in the coming weeks, it certainly looks like a weekend to keep free in the diary.
Lincoln Ladies await in cup clash
Meanwhile, the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup was made earlier this week, with the Blues being handed a tricky tie away at Lincoln.
Emma Hayes' side will be desperate to erase the disappointing memories from last season's competition when we were beaten finalists, losing to Birmingham City on penalties.
The game will take place on Sunday 17 March at 2pm.

Two Sarasota restaurants to close
Date: August 2, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Canvas Café Executive Chef Stephen Phelps blames the economy.
"It's tough times for even an award-winning chef like myself," Phelps said about the decision to close Canvas Café after two years of operation. "People aren't dining out as much, and we count on the locals. If they're not eating, we're hurting."
For the past few months, Canvas Café owners Louis Schultz and Diane Tauber Schultz had been searching for investors to keep the restaurant afloat. When they received more offers to sell their business, though, the Schultzes accepted the best offer for their restaurant. It is unknown if the new owners, whose names were not disclosed, will keep the restaurant or put a new business in the space.
The restaurant's last day of operation under its current owners will be Saturday, Aug. 1.
"The response we're getting from this is incredible," Phelps said. "Last night we were so busy I couldn't believe it. Some people were almost in tears. People who come for the last supper — it's going to be a good one."
5One6 Burns, on the other hand, made a quiet exit last Sunday.
"We didn't advertise that it was the last day," said owner Max Burke-Phillips. "We quietly closed and shut the doors."
When the revenue at 5One6 Burns dropped 45% and Burke-Phillips couldn't persuade his landlord to negotiate on the rent, he made the decision to close.
Burke-Phillips had hoped that he could postpone closing for another week to throw a final farewell party for the restaurant, which opened in the Burns Court district approximately six years ago. But there was no money to pay the staff.
"Like any small business, we ran out of money and out of time," Burke-Phillips said.

The Mermaid Inn is a homely and friendly establishment and a popular stop-off when exploring the beautiful countryside south of Canterbury.
Run by Jackie and Steve Archer, The Mermaid has been recognised for excellence as a traditional British countryside pub having been in the Good Beer Guide for 20 years. It has also been awarded five stars in Scores On The Doors and in 2006 won the small garden and hanging baskets award.
The pub was built in 1861 as a tap house for estate workers. It was originally known as the Lion's Head until it was bought, along with the Bourne Park estate, by industrialist Sir John Prestige in the 1920s. The name was changed to The Mermaid Inn because a mermaid features on Sir John's coat of arms. The pub was extended in 1968.
Visitors can play darts and traditional pub games and enjoy tasty and unpretentious pub food including ploughman's, baguettes and jacket potatoes. There is live music once a month of various styles.

I see now. Thank you.
Hi zetafunc.;
You were on the right track when you posted that.
By the triangle inequality
If a>1 then (b+c) > 1 and a(b+c) >1 but bc cannot be less than or equal to 0 ( see equation 2 ) so we have a contradiction. Therefore a,b,c<1
Now put your proof all together and present it.
It's okay. For I second there I thought we finally had proof!
Arhh! Once more you have spotted my error. Curses. (not aimed at you of course!)
How'd you get 2b<b(a+c)? It would imply that a+c>2, so one of them has to be greater than 1...
hi zetafunc
Thanks for this, I didn't think about setting c(b+a) > 0... so, would all my reasoning be mathematically sound? I agree with what you have written above -- I'm wondering if a geometric solution is also possible however, since it appears that this solution doesn't take advantage of any triangle properties...
But a, b, c all > 0
Exactly what I had in mind. I will try to do the problem.
One property is
You are forgeting one thing which might be crucial. a, b and c are sides of a triangle. There is a great chance that has some other purpose than just stating that a, b and c are positive.
Supposing a was large and b,c were small? I do not know if that step is rigorous enough or requires more.
The equation factorises to these three:
Can you prove that mathematically?

It is a very quick pasta to prepare because it needs to boil only a few minutes. It's best served with light sauces and in soups.

Loved the location, right next to the metro and only a few blocks away from the Eiffel Tower, the staff was so helpful and we had everything we needed. Our one and only complaint was that we paid extra for a double bed, but got two twin beds pushed together... That was very disappointing.

We only had one outlet in the entire room which was kind of a pain. There is rarely anyone at the front desk, plus they once didn't ask for ID when we asked for our key so we could have been anyone off the street. But overall they were very nice and friendly. Very close to everything as well, and the neighborhood is not sketchy at all.

Cured My sisters intractable nausea!!!
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3232099 From Georgia on Aug 06, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
My sister suffered for almost 8 months with something that caused nausea and vomiting the minute she attempted to eat or drink anything. The specialists were all at a loss and final were drawn to the conclusion that some virus must have damaged her GI tract. I went home to take care of her and she was without exaggeration to the point of death. She was in and out of the hospital and I stayed with her for almost 3 months. After googling everything under the sun, I came across Heathers site and read some of the testimonies. I thought lets give the Fennel Tea, Peppermint tea and Peppermint caps a try. I brewed strong Fennel and Peppermint tea by the gallon and gave her the pills several times a day. From the moment that I brought this into the hospital and began giving this to her, she began experiencing relief. We continued this regimen and her whole course turned abruptly around. This truly was a life saver. We won't ever know what instigated this problem and can only guess why this worked so wonderfully, but it did. All I can say is that we were at the ends of our ropes. Heather's suggestions for irritable bowel are tops. Diane

Best Peppermint Tea I've had! The tea bags are about 3 times the size of a normal tea bag and it works great if you are looking for something to calm your stomach - store bought teas are not strong enough to do that.

"Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having racial or ethnic leaders. While most Americans can easily name a number of black leaders, current or past, how many can name Asian-American ethnic leaders or Jewish ethnic leaders? The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country."

He didn't mean to throw the Twitterverse into a tizzy. Many fans of CBS's The Young and the Restless — at least the noisy ones on social media — were thrilled when news broke last week that controversial head writer Josh Griffith had exited the show. One fan on Twitter asked Y&R's alpha-dog star Eric Braeden (Victor) his opinion of Griffith's departure and Braeden tweeted back: "I'm very pissed off!!! Enough said!!!" That stunned a lot of folks who apparently assumed the Emmy-winning actor — currently on the back burner like a lot of other beloved Y&R vets — would be doing cartwheels at the prospect of a writer change. TV Guide Magazine sat down with Braeden to find out what he's really thinking — and get more out of him than 140 characters!
We knew this day would come. Last May, the soap community mourned the death of 84-year-old Jeanne Cooper, the great Emmy-winning star of The Young and the Restless. Now it's time to say goodbye to her character, Katherine Chancellor. In episodes airing Sept. 3 and 4, the citizens of Genoa City — past and present — will gather at Chancellor Park, a sprawling new set for the CBS soap, where they will pay their final respects to "the Duchess."Among the stars returning for the flashback-packed ...read more
He did whaat? Fans of CBS's The Young and the Restless just found out that good guy Nick Newman — played by longtime fan fave Joshua Morrow — is capable of heartless deceit. Yes, it seems our Nick has known for years that he might not be the biological father of his beloved teen daughter Summer (Hunter King), and he's kept that knowledge from the kid, her mother, Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), and Jack (Peter Bergman), the other possible dad. TV Guide Magazine spoke with Morrow about this messy development. Has his character been trashed forever? Or is there a sly way out of this?
The drama continues as Chloe convinces Eddie the incriminating photo of her and Tyler is fake, Loren faces trouble at school, and a potential marriage proposal is in the works. Get ready as things get hot and heavy on Hollywood Heights.
Chloe's latest ploy to get Eddie's attention starts to work. Meanwhile, Kelly arranges Loren's first session in the recording studio, Adrianna makes an unexpected discovery, and Eddie takes off for some much-needed alone time.
Loren strikes up a friendship with rock superstar Eddie Duran that eventually buds into something more - even with the conniving Chloe scheming around. Will true love win out over career changes, continuous setbacks and all the deception?
As Loren and Eddie grow closer together, Loren also grows more confident and ultimately makes a huge decision about her future. Meanwhile, Tyler reveals the colossal secret he's been keeping, and Chloe may finally come clean to Eddie about her past.

More Credits (2)
The loss of Emmy winner Jeanne Cooper is a staggering blow to the daytime drama community and to the millions of fans of The Young and the Restless, where she spent nearly 40 years as supernova Katherine Chancellor. CBS plans to honor the actress, author and humanitarian, who died May 8 at age 84, with a 60-minute tribute airing on Y&R Tuesday, May 28.
His fans are thrilled, except for the ones who are totally pissed. Emmy winner Steve Burton made big news — and crushed a lot of hearts — last fall when he left his role as General Hospital mob man Jason Morgan and moved to Nashville. So how come he's back in L.A. and working at The Young and the Restless a mere three months later? Burton hits the CBS soap Jan. 29 as war vet Dylan McAvoy, the supposedly-dead ex of Avery Clark (Jessica Collins). TV Guide Magazine caught up with Burton to get the deets on this head-scratching career move. This star has some 'splainin' to do!
We're just days into 2013 but it's safe to say that Jill Farren Phelps, exec producer of The Young and the Restless, has scored the casting coup of the year. On Jan. 29, Emmy winner Steve Burton — who previously worked under Phelps when he played hit man Jason Morgan on General Hospital — will join Y&R as Dylan McAvoy, the presumed-dead ex-lover of lawyer Avery Clark (Jessica Collins). It's no secret in the suds world that Burton and Phelps are thick as thieves. In fact, they're currently teamed with actor James Franco on a telenovela in development at Sony. But how the heck did she land Burton for Y&R? Citing a need for normalcy, the fan fave left GH just three months ago and relocated his family to a quiet homestead outside Nashville. Why's he back so soon? Phelps gave TV Guide Magazine the lowdown.
Well, that didn't take long! Reliable sources tell TV Guide Magazine that Emmy winner Steve Burton, former star of ABC's General Hospital, has signed up for a major role on CBS' The Young and the Restless. The gig, due to start soon, will have the insanely popular actor working once again for his ex-GH boss Jill Farren Phelps.
The CBS-Sony soap The Young and the Restless owed Josh Griffith a huge debt of gratitude when he did double duty as exec producer and head writer during the 2007-2008 Writers Guild strike. Not only did the three-time Emmy winning Griffith keep Y&R afloat during that treacherous time, he improved the show drastically. But no good deed goes unpunished in Soapland! When the strike was over, Griffith was pushed out. Now he's back as head writer, working with new exec producer Jill Farren Phelps to get this once-mighty serial back in shape after the devastating reign of Maria Bell.

Travelling funfair
|This article possibly contains original research. (April 2009)
A carnival (North American English)[1][2] or travelling funfair (UK English) often simply called "fair", "county fair", or "state fair", is a small to medium sized travelling show primarily composed of stalls and other amusements. The British term "funfair" is also used to refer to non-traveling amusement parks.[3][4][5] Larger fairs such as the permanent fairs of cities and seaside resorts might be called a fairground, although technically this refers to the land where a fair is traditionally held. The word fair comes from the Latin word feria, meaning a holiday.
In the UK and much of the rest of Europe, individual rides and stalls are run by different, independent showmen, who all converge for the duration of the fair and then often go their separate ways to set up at fairs in other towns.
In the UK the majority of showmen are registered as part of the Showmen's guild of great Britain. This non-profit organisation is split into ten sections across the UK and is tasked with everything from representing showmen's interests in government to settling disputes between members. The ten sections are as follows, Derby Notts Midland South Lincs, Lancashire, London Home, Midlands, Northern, Norwich Eastern, Scotland, South Wales, Western and Yorkshire. With an additional Central Office located with in the London offices but acting independently as the main overseer for each section. Every section is run by a 15 member committee that must be voted on annually and one permanent secretary. (Scotland has two permanent secretaries at time of writing) The Function of the committee is to set and enforce that sections policies. Central Office sets the direction and main focus of the Guild in general but each section can alter various rules of conduct to suit its local needs. The Guild also represents showmen's interest in safety and is a permanent member of the Amusement device safety council (ADSC) which is the body that oversees the Amusement Device Inspections Procedure Scheme (ADIPS)
In the United States, regional companies own large numbers of rides and games and book schedules of fairs with multiple units of machinery and staff. They are typically on the road throughout a season that runs from mid-February through December, usually beginning in the southern US and travelling north as summer approaches and then become active again in the south with the arrival of cooler fall weather. The relative costs and profitability of such long-distance operations are largely impacted by fuel prices; when prices are unusually high, smaller operators often resort to spending long stretches in shopping mall parking lots, drumming up what business they can as they accumulate additional funds, or wait for prices to fall.
Fairs contain a mixture of attractions which can be divided into the categories of adult, teenager and child; usually including thrill rides, children's rides, sideshows and sidestalls. Originally a fair would also have had a significant number of market stalls, but today this is rare and most sidestalls only offer food or games. The first fairground rides began to appear in the eighteenth century, these were small and made of wood and propelled by gangs of boys. In 1868, Frederick Savage, an agricultural engineer from King's Lynn, devised a method of driving rides by steam. His invention, a steam engine mounted in the centre of the ride, transformed the fairground industry.
Thrill rides[edit]
There is a core set of thrill rides which are common at fairs and which most funfairs have. These include the Sizzler Twist, The Gravitron, Booster, Freak Out, Miami, Pirate Ship and the Top Spin.[citation needed]
There is constant innovation, with new variations on ways to spin and throw passengers around, in an effort to attract customers. With the requirement that rides be packed into one or more trailers for travel, there is a limit to the size of the rides, and funfairs struggle to compete with much larger attractions, such as roller coasters, found in amusement parks. See also amusement rides.
Roller coasters[edit]
Some fairs may feature compact roller coasters to attract teenagers and preteens. Roller coasters feature steep drops, sharp curves, and sometimes loops. Roller coasters are generally the most attractive aspect of a fair, but many people come for other reasons. Fairs usually only feature one or two coasters.
Children's rides[edit]
Funfairs are seen as family entertainment, and most include a significant number of children's rides. Many of these are smaller, platform based rides like, cup & saucer, toysets, train rides then there are smaller slower versions of the adult rides, Ferris wheels, waltzers, even children's bumper cars. Such rides are usually referred to as "juvenile rides" or just juveniles. There are other items for children, slides, mirror mazes funhouses, and variations on the bouncy castle.
In the 19th century, before the development of mechanical attractions, sideshows were the mainstay of most funfairs. Typical shows included menageries of wild animals, freak shows, wax works, boxing/wrestling challenges and theatrical shows.
Up until the 1960s, boxing shows were a common feature of British fairs, but they went into decline when in 1947 the British Boxing Board of Control prohibited appearances of licensed members in fairground boxing booths. An echo of the boxing booth remains with boxing or punchball machines being common around fairgrounds. The last travelling boxing booth was still making annual visits to the Great Dorset Steam Fair until 2006. The owner, Ronnie Taylor, died a few weeks before the 2006 show, and the future of this unique attraction is uncertain.
After World War II, sideshows featuring burlesque and striptease performances also declined with the general relaxation of censorship legislation.
Sidestalls and games[edit]
Most stalls feature games of skill or strength. The most traditional example being the coconut shy in which players throw balls at coconuts balanced on posts, winning the coconut if they manage to dislodge it.
Other sidestalls range from the trivially easy, such as hooking rubber ducks from a water trough in which nearly every player is expected to win a prize, to the deceptively challenging, which includes games which utilise optical illusions or physical relationships that are difficult to judge. In the United States, the funfair is one of the few arenas of public life in which classical hoodwinkery in the form of outright fraud can be perpetrated by the light of day. Highly profitable (and therefore timeless) games include:
- the hoopla, in which a ring can be demonstrated to fit neatly around a wooden block, but when the customer attempts to throw the ring over the block, it is nearly impossible to achieve the perfect angle which the attendant deftly demonstrates. There is also a con where the blocks sit up straight with money on as well as a prize and it looks easy to win, the cheat here is that the worker will show you the ring fits and when you have a go he passes you 3 rings that do not fit. The ring that does is called a "coping" ring. Although most of the time this in practice is not necessary as this type of game is based on luck therefore the odds favour the owner. This game is similar to quoits and horseshoe pitching.
- ball-in-the-basket games in which the basket is presented at an angle almost certain to bounce the ball out. (The basket bottom may also be suspiciously springy.)
- basketball-shooting games in which the basket is ovoid in shape and the basketball literally cannot fit inside the rim under any circumstances, but takes advantage of the oval shape an individual expects to see when directly confronted by a circle presented at an angle nearly parallel with the ground. (The sides of such a game are walled with netting which presumably keeps the ball in play, but the netting is typically covered with the prizes the customer hopes to win, which block the view of the basket from the side and thus exposing the hoax.) Sometimes the basketballs are also inflated to their full capacity, thus allowing the ball to bounce out of the hoop more easily.
- archery, air rifles, and paint ball guns with sometimes misaligned sights (or handled by someone who cannot shoot straight), with targets ranging from bullseyes to playing cards.
- Hit-The-Bell, high striker device to test prowess, originally fabricated from various hardware.
Much of the true "con artistry" has been driven out of funfairs in the twentieth century, and combined with an increasing emphasis on the role of families and small children in such entertainment, contemporary showmen often find greater profit in pricing their games far above the value of the prizes being offered, with complex formulae for upgrading to the large prizes that advertise the game and instil desire among customers. The rises in pricing of many sidestalls must often reflect the overheads of running fairground equipment – the cost of swag (see below), diesel, staff and rents.
Typical prizes change to reflect popular tastes. A traditional fairground prize used to be a goldfish in a small plastic bag, but these have fallen out of favour, partly because goldfish are no longer seen as exotic, but also because of animal welfare concerns. Many stalls offer cuddly toys as prizes – many teenage romances are established at funfairs, where thrill rides provide ample excuse for embracing.[6] Displays of skill at shooting and winning a cuddly toy for your girlfriend is a rite of passage for many young men.[6] In showland, the prizes are known as swag and are supplied by a swagman.
Food booths[edit]
Food is routinely sold through food booths and the offerings range from common fast food items to indigenous street food, and may include specialty items or delicacies depending on the nature of the festival and availability of ingredients.[citation needed]
British funfairs[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010)
In the United Kingdom, many larger towns host travelling fairs at specific times of the year (for example Mop Fairs). Frequently the fairground is on an area of common land and has a history extending back to the Middle Ages. For example, St Giles' Fair has been held in St Giles', Oxford since the consecration of St Giles' Church in 1200.[7] In Cambridge, the Midsummer Fair is held on Midsummer Common, an ancient area of common land to the northeast of the city centre. In Scotland, the 1982 Civic Government act brought Funfair/Fairgrounds into the category of Legislated Entertainment. Now all Fairs in Scotland have to apply to the local authority for a Public Entertainments Licence. The process takes 6–8 weeks to complete and costs vary dramatically from region to region.There is no refund for refused licence applications.This licensing act has led to some Fairs being lost due to costs or refusal. The 1982 act was not adopted for Fairs in England or Wales.
Funfairs in England, Scotland and Wales are not the property of one owner, but a collaborative effort between families of fairground Travellers. Fairs have operated in Great Britain since medieval times; it is unclear how many Showmen families are directly descended or became Occupational Travellers before or after the formation of the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain in 1889. The routes they travel are usually inherited and are much the same from year to year. The average fairground is made up when a Lessee (usually the owner of a large ride) sublets ground and pitches to other showmen who bring their own rides, stalls and shows to make up a fair. This may involve negotiation and bargaining over who gets to put their stalls and rides where, although in many well established fairs 'standing rights' are recognized and passed down through the generations.
The bigger fairs are run by a lessee who will take sites from the Council and advertise them in a showmen's newspaper called the World's Fair, but there are many showmen who attend the same event year on year as they have rights to the event as members of the Showmen's Guild, they may then attend the next place with the same lessee or go on somewhere else. The lessee is always a ride owner and he will own a couple of rides and will have a son with a couple of rides and other close family. Once the fair is over, the families sometimes go their separate ways, but will cross each other's paths regularly. Their sense of community is strong and it's rare but not unheard of that they "marry out' of the trade.[citation needed] Showmen, as they are known, are proud of their heritage and have their own language, Parlyaree (a mixture of Lingua Franca, Romani, Yiddish, Thieves' Cant, sailor slang, and backslang) e.g. words such as flatty or joskin (meaning someone not from the showman community). Those showmen who don't travel with the fair still remain showmen, being said just to be settled down. The community is clannish and somewhat insular, the received wisdom being that one cannot just become a showman, but must be well respected by other showmen to be allowed to join.
This by definition makes running fairgrounds a family business, and family names are synonymous with fairgrounds in certain areas; e.g. Breeze, Hirst, Fleming, Vanner, Hatwell, Atha, Danter, Marshalls, et al. in the North, and Thurston's, Stocks, Harris and Hedges in the South.[citation needed] The Show/Fairground community is close knit, with multiple ties often existing between the older families and a vibrant social scene centered both around the summer fairs and the various sites and yards used as winter quarters. Hosting an estimated 80%[citation needed] of all Scottish showfamilies, Glasgow is believed[weasel words] to have the largest concentration of Showmen in winter quarters in Europe, centered mostly in Whiteinch, Shettleston and Carntyne. However, new zoning laws and planning difficulties posed by Glasgow City Council look set to push many of these long-established facilities out of the city in the near future.[citation needed]
Since the late 19th century, fairgrounds in the UK have been run by a guild known as the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain. This lays down rules for managing and running fairs, helps them organize fairs and settle member disputes and serves to protect them from deleterious legislation. Unusual for an industrial body, membership is awarded mainly but not exclusively on a hereditary basis.
A new breed of showmen is now appearing.[8] These people are usually fairground enthusiasts and can own preserved older rides. They are connected to the Show communities around Britain but only loosely and they, therefore, have their own organizations such as the Society of Independent Roundabout Proprietors. There is also a further need for rides in the form of private events. This is where the rides are set up for a fee and operated for guests of the person who is hiring them. There are few companies who do this, or you can chance it and hire one from the local fair.
Fairgrounds are common at British seaside resorts, usually run by travelling fairground families who have decided to settle down, in whole or part. Showmen who run fair equipment at the seaside are referred to as sand scratchers or sand dancers.[citation needed] There are also travelling showmen who take their ride to a site and stay there for the summer and go back on the road after that.
An interesting annual attraction in the North Wales resort of Llandudno is the Victorian Extravaganza[9] held over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend.
In regard to confectionery, candy floss stalls are especially associated with funfairs. Sweets are known as fairings[citation needed] and include such things as brandy snaps,[citation needed] toffee apples and at Nottingham Goose Fair, cocks on sticks. Of savoury food, the mainstays are hot dogs, burgers and, in the Midlands and the North of England, hot peas served with mint sauce.
Fairgrounds have sharply declined in popularity over the last few decades,[citation needed] although many families continue to follow their unusual lifestyle. The cost has caused some of this but it is mainly due to amusement parks which are seen to have better rides.
The largest British (and European) travelling fairground is The Hoppings on Newcastle Town Moor,[citation needed] which is held annually in the last two weeks of June. The second largest travelling fair is Nottingham Goose Fair held annually in October. The Largest travelling fair in Scotland is held in Kirkcaldy, Fife and known as The Links Market. It dates back over 700 years.
Historically, travelling showmen and the gypsy community had close links, necessitated by the heavy reliance of the business on horsepower. Intermarrying and sharing the same land was not uncommon, although they remained two distinct groups. Nowadays, however, there is often friction between the two communities, and travelling showmen have been known to distance themselves from the gypsy community (by not using Polari, for example) because they feel that the negative stereotype that the British public holds towards the gypsy community could adversely affect their business.[citation needed] The word "gypsy" is often used to refer to travelling showmen, but it is not a phrase that they would use to refer to themselves (the usual term is "traveller") and in fact many would regard this as a slur.
German funfairs[edit]
Most things said about British funfairs apply to Germany. Rides include roller coasters, dark rides and log flumes that often eclipse many theme park equivalents in terms of both size and quality.
The language of German showmen contains elements of Sintitikes, Rotwelsch, Yiddish and other old minority languages. Their children are almost always sent to a small set of showmen-friendly boarding schools where they can remain in contact with other showmen's children; during school holidays, they travel with their parents. In the west of the country, there is some overlap with Dutch showmen. A relatively small number of "showmen dynasties" run most of the medium- to large size amusement rides at funfairs around the country. There have been some allegations of forced marriages among them in recent years.
In Catholic areas of the country, it is still customary for most villages and small towns to hold their annual funfair on or near the saint's day of the patron saint of the local church.
Very common are the so-called "Volksfeste", which are mainly held in the larger cities. They consist of a funfair and a beer festival at the same place. The largest and best known of them is the Oktoberfest in Munich, the largest fair of the world. The second largest is the Cranger Kirmes in Herne in the eastern part of the Ruhr Area. Another famous "Volksfest" is the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart and the Rheinkirmes in Düsseldorf. One of the oldest is the Annaberger Kät held in the Ore Mountains of East Germany since 1520.
Canadian funfairs (exhibitions)[edit]
North America's (and the world's) largest, and one of the longest running exhibitions[citation needed] is Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition, it takes place at Exhibition Place from late August to early September. Most carnival fairs are run by traveling companies that move town to town with their rides and exhibits. Conklin Shows is the largest and oldest organization of its type in North America.
Other notable fairs are the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver and the Calgary Stampede.

Bakeries >Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop
222 Albemarle St, Baltimore, MD | Directions 2120239.286837 -76.602848
Neighborhoods: Little Italy
Worst Service Ever! It was our family's misfortune to ever walk into this place. We waited over five minutes at the "wait to be seated sign" even with two empty tables; there were only 8-9 tables in the place and no one else waiting. We then had to wait another 10-15 minutes before the waitress served 3 waters for 4 people and took our simple order: iced cappacino, 1 scoop gelato, a tiramisu, and 1 order of 5 cookies. She left saying "your water will be right up," then ten minutes later I get my water with the iced cappacino. Again we wait more than 10 minutes for the food, while we watch most of the employees joking around the back door. Eventually, I see the tiramisu and the gelato being plated at the counter; the staff continued to play around while our food sat for several minutes. We finally had enough and walked out. They may have good desserts but we'll never know. I tried to complain to the manager, but he did not care and offered no apology. It was appalling and insulting the lack of customer service from the manager and wait staff . I thought my mixed race family was being discriminated until I heard the elderly couple behind us also complaining about lack of customer service. I'm sure the Vaccaro's founder is rolling in his grave.
WORST MOST DISGUSTING LUNCH EVER – I went in just for a normal paninni! The 18 yr old idiots working there, were CLUELESS what a italian coldcut was? Oh thats right they smelled like stone cold weed/pot?? complete lifeless wastes!! flirting w/ each other, 3x times asking me to reiterate my order?? WTF!!! when I got home to eat my overly priced paninni... covered in OLD ASS OLIVES with green mold??? stale bread!! the mgr was just hovering! was he stoned too!! NEVER AGAIN!! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!
Wow!! – This place was AWESOME!! Service was spectacular, everything we ate was Wonderful, and the portions were HUGE!! Wish they had a location here in San Antonio, TX!!
THE BEST! – Vacarro's is simply the best dessert anywhere. I've been going there since I was a little kid and even though I live in another city now, every time I'm back in B-more I make a point to go there for some gellato. The service is great, the food is great, go there RIGHT NOW!
Good desserts... – This place is quaint, and has a great selection of delectable desserts! Don't be fooled by the high prices - if you are not alone, feel free to split the desserts, as they are HUGE! I ordered a single scoop gelato, and couldn't even eat 1/3 of it. The gelato was very good, and I was sorry I couldn't possibly eat more. The latte was good, but the regular coffee was weak. If you are in the area, this is a neat little shop to check out.
Save Dessert for Vacarros but bring lots of money – This place has excellent Italian pastries (mmmm Meraviglioso!) but boy do you pay through the nose for it. I alway get the capuccino, cannoli, a sfoglietelle and a pignoli. $16 a pound is too much for any pastry. I mean that's more than steak. But I am too lazy to make these myself so I always come here (especially for holidays). And every friend I ever brought here was impressed! A good way to cap off an evening and wind up a date.
Dessert Perfection – We went to Vacarro's on a Monday night for the all-you-can-eat dessert, and I was absolutely delighted. Gianni, the waiter, was cordial, helpful, and unflappable in the midst of tons of customers. The tiramisu was easily some of the best I've had and the rum cake was amazing. The second round included a mini canoli and three scoops of chocolate hazelnut ice cream sandwiched between cream puff pastry. Again, the canoli was the best I'd ever had. The third round included spumoni and a sampler of canolis, a butterball, a pignoli cookie, and cream puffs. Finally! Some authentic spumoni! The pignoli cookies were surprisingly soft with a pleasant almond flavor. My husband and I had five cafe au laits between us, and they were wonderful. Even the little sugar cookie they put on the plate next to the mug is fabulous. This little pastry shop is a gem.
best desserts ever – Every time I am in Baltimore, I make it a point to stop at Vaccaro's for some cannolis (the best EVER) and an espresso. I just wish that there were more Vacarro's!
Dessert Heaven! – This is one of my favorite haunts. No matter where in the world I've been I always come back for a Vaccaro's Cannoli. The Pignoli cookies are also a favorite. This place cannot be beat for the best dessert in Baltimore. See you there!
Wildly popular since 1956, this sidewalk cafe has built a small empire on baked goodies, creamy gelatos and after-dinner drinks. – The Scene
Sparkling glass cases filled with tempting pastries, cheesecakes and cookies line the front of this corner shop which also has windows to spare. Every other inch is filled with small tables, which seat the throngs of dessert devotees who, weather permitting, spill out onto the sidewalk and snack under the awning and neon sign.
The Food
You may need to come back over again to sample the wide range of pastries available. Specialties include rum and cannoli cake, numerous flavors of napoleons and the creamiest gelato ever, in flavors like tiramisu, hazelnut and peanutto. The most popular desserts come from the specialita della casa list: These irresistible sundae-style concoctions of gelati and toppings are paired with cakes, brownies, or waffles. Servings are large enough for two or three to share. The apple strudel napoleon is served warm with creamy vanilla gelato and whipped topping then dusted generously with cinnamon.

Hi there,
I recently jailbroke/unlocked my iphone 3G. After unlocking I am able to receive calls but when i make a call the signals drop and phone goes in aeroplane mode and signals drop. SMS are working fine (both incoming and outgoing). My network is Telenor, Pakistan.
