Only for Dessert – My 2 friends and I came here for dinner one night. We started with the swiss cheese fondue, then the sampler dinner with each meat, and ended with a smores dessert.
The cheese was very unappetizing and tasted only like wine, even after the waitress brought us more cheese. Needless to say this was taken off of our bill!
Dinner was alright, nothing too filling at all. The Chicken Bouillon cooking broth was good.
To finish the night the dessert was excellent! Who could complain? Melted chocolate flambeed in front of you with a dipping plate of cheesecake, cherries, strawberries, graham crackers, rice crispy treats, bananas, and more!
Will only be coming here for dessert in the future!
So So Food, Good Waitstaff, very overpriced – Had an occassion to take the family there for a birthday. Not sure exactly what to expect but had heard good things about the restaurant. Food is OK, definately not good, considering all the great restaurants in providence you could go to. The prices are definately not worth the food. Although I would compliment the waitstaff the meal took forever.
For the money you can definately find a much better restaurant with better food and atmosphere and a short walk or drive away. Save the money and find a restaurant that provides quality cuisine in a friendly, warm atmosphere. If you like the gimick of cook your own food then this is your place. But for good food at reasonable prices, served in a much more timely manner you can throw a rock and hit a dozen better restaurants
Very expensive – This place is way over-priced for what you get for the money. We had to return our cheese, because it was so disgusting. The chocolate course was fine, but overall it was a big let down.
Great fondue – Excellent service, great atmosphere (considering its in the mall), well priced food.
Worst value for money I've encountered – The food was ok but the place is designed to empty your wallet. Outrageous prices; waiters who push things you don't want. We took my daughter for her birthday and brought our own cake and candles. They warned us there would be a "cutting fee." They charged us $27 to serve us our own cake! And they didn't even cut it.
Lots of fun and great food – My husband and I went there with another couple last weekend, we had the best time although a little concerned about cooking our own food at the table at first, it was fun and easy. Our server was excellent very friendly and informative. We shared the spinach and artichoke cheese fondue and each couple had the sampler which included many different kinds of meat to chose from. The desert well what can you say about chocolate and a assortment of delicious items to dip. We will definitely be back and can't wait.
I don't know how anyone can give this place a bad review unless they don't enjoy a good time and good food. Please give it a try.
Wonderful experience. Fondue is a great time for all. – Incredible. Great experience.
Anyone that eats at a fondue restaurant, then writes a bad review because they had to cook their own food is foolish. That's like eating at a sushi restaurant and writing a bad review because they served you raw fish! Or.... like a vegetarian going to Ruth's Chris and complaining about all the "Meat" on the menu.
I have not eaten at this one, but have eaten at many others throughout the U.S. All have been good to great so far.
Fondue is an "interactive" dining experience. Only one course is truly cooked by the guest. Go to a Melting Pott and check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed....unless of course you were expecting Chili's or The Olive Garden.
What an experience!!!! – Friends had raved about this concept for years which made us yearn to go. Although we must admit we were extrememly apprehensive about cooking our own food. What an incredible evening. Service was personable and exremely accomodating. Our server thoroughly explained everything. The layout is a bit confusing as they take advantage of every nook and cranny of the restaurant while making each and every table feel intimate. Completely unique to anything else that is available in town. A great experience that which was left us without doubt that will bring us back many more times. Make a reservation as I overheard the wait time on the Saturday night that we went was over 4 hours!
Overpriced food... – Good thing there was a hot plate at our table as the restaurant was really cold...at best 65. We waited about 15mins for our server...I was about to walk out as it wasn't busy at all. She was pleasant...their table speach is canned...you're not paying for the food, but a side show. Eating/cooking boiled meat...lame. The only good dish is desert...way over priced given they don't pay a chef to cook anything.
Exciting night out! – I haven't fondue'd since the 70's so I was excited to see that there was a fondue restaurant coming to Providence. I had a wonderful evening out with a few close friends. The four courses kept us intrigued and very full all night long. The server we had, Kayla, knew so much about the food, different sauces for the meats and veggies, and the different ingredients, and even answered all of our 10,000 questions with a smile! My friend had the vegetarian plate, and two of us split this platter with peppered duck, filet mignon, chicken, shrimp, teriyaki sirloin, and potstickers. It was absolutely magnificent. I recommend to all looking for something different, fun, and delicious to indulge!

When in London, take a page from a favorite book
|This March 17, 2009 photo provided by VisitBritain shows a monument to William Shakespeare in the Poetsí Corner at Westminster Abbey in London. Many famous British writers are memorialized here, including Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer, so itís a popular destination for visitors on a literary tour of London. (AP Photo/VisitBritain)
Walking toward the George Inn on a drizzly evening, yellow light from its bustling Parliament Bar spilling out on wet cobblestones, it's easy to imagine the ghostly footsteps of the past.
Is that a double-decker bus rumbling down the Borough High Street? Or a four-in-hand carriage sweeping into the inn's cobbled yard? And those commuters hurrying toward London Bridge — could one be an anxious Nancy bravely spiriting Oliver Twist to safety?

Neighborhoods: Sheepshead Bay
Awful service – Just this past sunday Iwent to applebees with my family expecting to have a nice,delicious dinner but unfortunately it turned out to be a complete waste of my time and money. To begin with just the appetizers took about 35 minutes to arrive.. Now. My mother and father ordered steaks.. Well the weitress never asked them how they wanted their steak cooked.. So 45 minutes later when our food finally arrived.. We were all so upset and to make things worse.. My chicken was dry and burnt..the broccoli was so overcooked and dry but anyway.. Now the steaks were competely burnt.. They looked black so I tell the waitress to please give me a new one because those were unedible so she does so.another 30 minutes go by and we finally get our steaks.. This time completely raw. So I tell the waitress to please change it again. So she comes back with the very same piece that had been cut only a tad more grilled but still raw. Furious after all this horrible service I decide to speak to the manager and I wasn't surprised to see how he did nothing to fix the problem. All he did was give us a free dessert and he took off one of the 2 raw steaks we got. I can confidently say that. I will never step a foot at this applebbes again and I'll make sure people I know won't either.
I Luv Applebees – I like the beers I get and the fiesta lime chicken and southwestern mexican rice with tomatoes and tortilla chips, and when they used to serve the quesidillas as the appetizers, on the downside if you order a burger like my Dad did or most people I know, you will walk out hungry, and Applebees neighborhood grill could tend to be pricey..........

Summary of The Bastard of Istanbul Summary of The Bastard of Istanbul Reviews for The Bastard of Istanbul An Excerpt from The Bastard of Istanbul
Populated with vibrant characters, The Bastard of Istanbul is the story of two families, one Turkish and one Armenian American, and their struggle to forge their unique identities against the backdrop of Turkey's violent history. Filled with humor and understanding, this exuberant, dramatic novel is about memory and forgetting, about the tension between the need to examine the past and the desire to erase it."Zesty, imaginative . . . A Turkish version of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club."
-USA Today
"Shafak's writing is seductive. . . . The Bastard of Istanbul portrays family as more than merely a function of genetics and fate, folding together history and fiction, the personal and the political into a thing of beauty."
"[This] saucy, witty, dramatic, and affecting tale in the spirit of novels by Amy Tan, Julia Alvarez, and Bharati Mukherjee should prove irresistible to readers. . . . A grandly emphatic and spellbinding story."
-New York Newsday (cover)
"Beautifully imagined . . . this wonderful new novel carried me away. And reality was different when I returned."

Conservator to Discuss Restoraton of Rubens Painting at the Clark October 22
For Immediate Release
October 15, 2000
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA, (October 13, 2000) – Visitors will have a rare opportunity to see a painting midway through the process of conservation in a gallery talk at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. On Sunday, October 22, at 2:00 p.m., Sandra Webber, conservator at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, will focus on the school of Rubens painting Holy Family Under an Apple Tree. The painting, now on view in the exhibition Piece by Piece: Putting Art Together, Taking Art Apart, has recently had layers of varnish and in-painting removed, revealing its "actual" state. The painting is on a panel consisting of six pieces of wood joined together—two of which were later additions painted by a different artist. Over the years since the painting was created in 1632, the wood expanded and contracted, resulting in paint loss at the joints, and conservators filled in the gaps with new paint. In its current state, the "cracks" between the panels are revealed. Following the conclusion of the exhibition the conservation process will continue and the painting will be restored to its more familiar appearance. Webber will discuss the process used on the Rubens, as well as other works in the exhibition that have undergone conservation. The talk is free with gallery admission.
Piece by Piece: Putting Art Together, Taking Art Apart explores the ways in which works of art are designed, constructed, and in some cases, deconstructed. Forty include preparatory studies illustrating the systematic methods that painters use to build their compositions as well as drawings and prints that were created in pieces. Fragmented works by Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, and Winslow Homer are featured, and two halves of a divided sheet by Edgar Degas are reunited for the first time since they left the artist's studio. The exhibition comprise works from the Clark's permanent collection as well as loans from the John and Alice Steiner Collection, Yale University Art Gallery, the Chapin Library of Rare Books, and private collections. Piece by Piece is on view through December 3.James A. Ganz, associate curator of prints, drawings, and photographs and curator of Piece by Piece will give a gallery talk about the exhibition on Sunday, October 29, at 2:00 p.m.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

2000 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Notes
Alcohol 14.1%
1730 cases produced
100% Estate Grown fruit at Larkmead Vineyards
93% Cabernet Sauvignon
7% Merlot
Aged in 70% new French oak barrels for 19 months
"Deep ruby red that darkens with aeration. Great aromatic complexity with red and black cherry, cassis and earthier notes of tar, leather and roasted coffee. The palate is immediately supple and juicy with sweet briary jam and then darkens to show layered black fruits and chocolate. The mid palate is rich and full and the soft tannins allow the breadth of the wine to gradually unfold across the palate, leading to a pleasant grip on the finish.
Delicious and approachable on release, our 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to gain weight and complexity with 4 to 6 years in the bottle.
We suggest decanting for an hour in its youth to allow the wine's rich generosity and vineyard complexity to be fully expressed."
Wine Spectator
"Ripe, complex and generous, with a plush texture to the concentrated black cherry, black currant, licorice and spicy, toasty oak tones. Richness lingers, along with herb tones and round, nicely integrated tannins."

On the strength of our world first ride of Kawasaki's pioneering, Z1000-based Versys 1000, the answer is 'Yes'… and 'No'… The four-cylinder motor is retuned for more bottom end and midrange and it sure is smooth.

Curry missed the first 6 games on the pup list. Don't know much beyond that.

Hey guys had a great time like always in Seattle, love going up there.. Stayed with some family who live in Des Moines which is about a 15 minute drive from Seattle.. Went to Pike place brewery and Pike place pub, 2 totally different things I learned the hard way. Pike place pub was a dump and near impossible to get any service.. Enjoyed the brewery a lot more, got my beer quick. Visited the space needle for the 3rd time only cost me 20 bucks a piece Not worth it like always. Then headed over to the bar across from the space needle called the sports bar I think, really nice atmosphere when I was watching the Huskies game... Then came game day, right on the 50 yard line had club seats. Took me forever to find the parking garage though. After the game I headed to the hawks nest bar and grill. Great place with good drinks, actually know the owner there from another seahawks forum. Had a couple more drinks there and watched the ending of the rams/niners game... Had an awesome trip though!
Im still not buying Red Bryant as a DE...
Uh, what? How is that possible?
He doesn't necessarily blow up the stat sheet, but god damn. Dude gets double teamed and still stops the run. He is our Haloti Ngata/Justin Smith.
Super Bowl XLVIII Champs
Now that Washington has decriminalized, anyone think we'll see weed concessions at stadiums eventually? I know this is only a little Seahawks related but I didn't get any responses in the Sonics subforum. . .
*Note to mods, I would argue that this is not an illegal drugs thread so please do not close it for that reason. Thanks.
"The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. . . Are we all in this together or are we all not?" - David Simon, creator of The Wire
No. It's different than alcohol. I don't need to person next to me lighting up. Just like they can't smoke cigarettes inside, they can't smoke pot inside.
Plus there may be some kind of other laws and regs against it.
You have no idea how excited I am right now.
Tate brings that fire that we need lol I love it, and we actually could've won on the final drive against the Rams, Wilson's pass was on target to McCoy but sadly McCoy slipped lol

High Phive contributors Ben Haley and Josh Collachi collaborated to answer some pre-draft questions regarding the Eagles' selections. Were you wondering about the lack of quarterback talent, who the Eagles are targeting, and what positions need addressing the most? Be assured there is no collusion here, only formulated draft analysis.
Q: What is the top priority for the Eagles in this year's draft?
If not for free agency, there would have been numerous holes for the Eagles in this year's draft. But, since the signing of Connor Barwin, Patrick Chung, Kenny Phillips, Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher, the impending need for defense has …

In April 2009, Oakland University proudly announced that it reached its campaign goal of $110 million by raising $111.8 million one year ahead of schedule. For a young institution of 52 years, it was a historic accomplishment.
At a gala celebration held for donors and alumni, Susan Davies Goepp, vice president for University Relations, told the audience, "Thank you for your tremendous demonstration of faith in the possibilities of what this campaign can mean not only for Oakland students and faculty, but for society as a whole."
For Oakland University Honors College students, the opportunity to study abroad brings with it the chance not only to see the world, but to find their true potential. Thanks to the support of Donna and Walt Young, more students than ever are taking their studies overseas for semesters of intense learning, exploration and discovery.
The Youngs provided their scholarship support in the hopes of "helping build overall character and learning how to operate in the world we now live in," says Walt Young. "In our small way, we hope to further add to OU students' education so that they can be ever more successful in business and in their own lives."
For Ann Nicholson, her support of the new Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine is a way of supporting a better tomorrow for the people of Michigan. When the school opens its doors, it will welcome students who are intent on pursuing the skills and experience necessary to bring good health and exceptional care to people throughout the state.
The school also will provide an infusion of dollars and jobs into southeastern Michigan, improving the economic health of the region. "This medical school will be a wonderful addition to the region at a time when we need new and different ideas for helping this area," says Nicholson, an Oakland University trustee and one of the co-chairs for OU's recently completed comprehensive campaign. "The fact that it's right in our backyard is a plus. It's going to mean better health care for our community."
This summer 16 students will make themselves at home in one of the most historically rich and culturally vibrant countries in the world. As the first group to travel to Israel as part of Oakland University's emerging Judaic Studies program, these students will not only have the opportunity to study about Israel first-hand, but also teach English as a Second Language (ESL) to Israeli sixth graders. More importantly, the program will immerse the students in the country's culture, encourage students to form meaningful, lasting relationships and promote better understanding between the two nations.
The program, made possible with gifts totaling $84,000 from the Nora and Guy Barron Millennium Fund and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, enables the students to study at Max Stern Academic College of EmekYezreel in Israel. A four-credit course, "Israel and the Middle East" is offered, as well as Hebrew instruction and, in some cases, independent study. When not studying or teaching ESL, the students will visit historical and cultural sites, participate in an archeological dig and travel by camel through the desert.

Freshman Senator John Hoeven is one of six freshman Republican Senators who will be on the committee that oversees how federal money is spent.
Hoeven has been named to the powerful Appropriations committee.
In the past, it's been unusual to serve on the committee as a freshman senator.
Hoeven will also serve on the Energy and Natural Resources, Agriculture and Indian Affairs committees.
This year, the Senate will be working on a new farm bill, and Hoeven's committee membership ensures he'll have a voice on the legislation.
Hoeven is one of only 6 freshman Republican Senators who were tapped for the Appropriations committee, which oversees how federal dollars are spent. The other five are Sens. Mark Kirk (Ill.), Dan Coats (Ind.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Jerry Moran (Kansas) and Ron Johnson (Wis.).
"These committee assignments provide a great opportunity to bring North Dakota's perspective and influence to bear on issues important not only to our state but also our nation," Hoeven said through a release issued Thursday. "A seat at the leadership advisory board's regular meetings, moreover, will give us an additional opportunity to make sure that North Dakota's voice is heard when important policy decisions are discussed and decided."

Unchanged for nearly 100 million years, lobster is one of the most fascinating delicacies of the sea. Deliciously flavored and tender, lobster is considered to be one of the most delectable seafood options at the table. However, this wasn't always the case as lobster did not achieve popularity in North America until the mid-19th century.
Today, lobster reigns as the king of crustaceans and is widely sought-after and celebrated around the world. In fact, 2013 marks the 30th anniversary of Lobsterfest at Red Lobster, the world's largest casual dining seafood restaurant.
There's certainly a lot to be said about this tasty shellfish. For more interesting lobster stats and eating tips, check out the infographic below (click image to view full size). For more information about Lobsterfest visit RedLobster.com or Facebook.com/RedLobster.

Well, if this past week is any indication of what he is capable of, the Orioles will be an improved club in the final two months.
Tejada was named American League Co-Player of the Week, which was quite a feat given the week Boston's Kevin Millar, who shared the award with Tejada, produced.
Tejada batted .424 (14-for-33) with an AL-leading 14 RBIs and 11 runs in the past week and single-handedly led Orioles to wins over the Royals, Red Sox and Twins. In the two-game series against Kansas City, Tejada was 3-for-9 with two homers and four RBIs.
The shortstop continued his sparkling play at Fenway Park. Against Pedro Martinez, Tejada tripled, singled and had four RBIs. He then added an RBI single in the ninth inning for his fifth five-RBI game of his career.
Tejada drilled another homer on July 22 against Boston and then put on an amazing display Saturday against Minnesota. He doubled in the O's first run and tied the game with a home run off Terry Mulholland.
In the eighth inning, he stole second base and Matt LeCroy's throw skidded into center field. Instead of being content with third base, Tejada took off for home and scored just before LeCroy's tag to give the Orioles a crucial insurance run.
It was the type of hustle and guile that has typified Tejada since he signed a six-year, $72 million contract in December.
"That's good, that's good," he said after the Orioles lost 12-5 to the Red Sox. "It makes me feel like I do a great job. And I am really happy to do it. I just try to help the team."
After Monday's game, Tejada has an AL-leading 92 RBIs, just 16 short of his total from all of last season. And he is hitting a blistering .337 in July with seven homers and 27 RBIs, making him a viable candidate for Player of the Month honors.
Millar had an exceptional week after hearing boo birds in Boston when the team returned from a road trip to Anaheim. The first baseman hit .583 with six homers, 32 total bases, a 1.333 slugging percentage and a .615 on-base percentage. In the emotional three-game series against the Yankees, Millar was 10-for-13 with four homers and eight RBIs. He also hit two home runs in the three-game series against the Orioles.
The Orioles' Sidney Ponson was one of three pitchers on the ballot this week. He was 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two starts.

How important is moon phase?
Hi and thanks for the wealth of information you provide on this website.
I booked my first south africa bowhunt safari last month,going June 2-12
I just checked the moon phase,full moon on June 4th!
What are the disadvantages of hunting in full or 3/4 moon phase?
Should i be very concerned?

From what I have heard, read and seen (although my African experience is extremely limited) moon phase has the exact same effect on amimals here as in Africa. Expect more mid day activity with a full moon and more dawn and dusk activity with a new moon.
There are of course always some exceptions especially with nocturnal animals. For example I have read (and will find out in may) that Caracal are most active and easiest to call during the 3 days before and after a new moon.
I am sure some of the PHs on here will have opinions on this one.The journey is the reward.

I am hunting a area in the Eastern Cape with more than 7000 Springbuck, 4000 Blesbuck, i can go on about numbers in this area , the area is almost 20000 acres , i have never had a problem with the moon, a Monday or a rainy day. I think it is all about numbers the more you have the more you will see them . I am sure in some areas the moon will have an effect on the animals as they can drink and feed at night with a full moon, and if the numbers are low it will slowdown the amount you will see . Animals get use to the surroundings very easy, in Zambia i did hunt a area with a lot of poaching in the area, and the buffalo did drink water during the night with or without a moon just because they felt safe.
Go and enjoy your hunt and shoot strait.Johan Potgieter

In my opinion moonphase has a definit influence on game movement especially when bowhunting (due to the fact that as a bow hunter you are stationary), game tend to move much more during the night coming on, during, and going off a full moon, I would say expect the hunting to get better by the day the more you get into your safari.
As a rule I try to keep my bowhunting clients around dark moon, game animals tend to be much more localized during dark moon (do not move around much at night) tend to lie down at around 9 pm for the night, and do the bulk of their feeding during the day.
On a full it is excatly the opposite, movement tends to be much more during the night and way less during the day, hunting pressure has a influence for sure but in such a case game tend to move at night allot more over the broad spectrum regardless of moon phase, We run an operation on 33 000 acres, with only 30 - 40 hunters a year and the same happens here. IMO the full moon has a much larger effect on game species such as Kudu, Oryx, Nyala, Wildebeest, Zebra and a couple others, please note that this is not to say that your hunt will be a "bust" I am simply saying that movement tends to be better when not around its full phase.
Terrain has much to do with it, in the plains it could be slightly different but on bush properties, I truly believe out of experience that the moon has a noticeable effect on such game movement, I have sat in way to many blinds on a full moon seeing only the faint shapes of game approaching a blind on a full moon but being to dark to draw..... which on the same area and same blind is not the case during its darker phase.
My very best always.

On another note:
I booked during a dark moon and the thing I noticed that had a much larger effect on game movement was the weather on the day.
Snow (yes, they had snow in Africa and it opened my eyes) and rain and cold temperatures kept them from moving around. It also started activity later in the mornings or kept them in heavy cover.
I looked at the "harvest times" when I got home most were in the afternoon, and that was not due to my sleep ins either.
In Namibia when it was minus 3 C (this was the dead of winter for them) the critters did not move until they were getting warmed up. We may as well have slept in til 10AM daily.
But there was no way I was going to miss sun rise no matter what.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!
A Legend in my own mind!

Moon phase is very important, critical in fact if you are planning to hunt over waterholes. Try and book your dates over a new moon and try and stay away from weeks with a full moon.Professional Hunter & Outdoor Writer

If African animals are like American, I'd much rather hunt during a new moon phase. By far I see more animals during a new moon than a full moon. My buddy and I have been keeping track of this very closely for about 10 years now and am convinced with that many data points it's not coincidence.U.S. Contact for HartzView Safaris

I have not hunted Africa but have hunted animals many other places. The full moon does have a tendency to entice nighttime and mid-day movement which can be used to an advantage during hot weather. If you are going to be hunting during a full moon period, I would want to be hunting on or around waterholes during the middle part of the day. Adapt to conditions as needed and enjoy your hunt. Good luck.When I am not hunting, I am thinking about hunting....I think I'll go hunting.

Diamondhitch, not to be contradictory, but my experience has taught me that movement virtually shuts down especially on species as mentioned above, another very true statment made is that our game is extremely sensitive to the slightests of weather changes. A sudden drop of 5 - 10 degrees makes them bed, a gusty windy day shuts emm down completely.
With a bit of rain movement virtually stops on waterholes, as well as on cold and gusty days.
Game tend to drink and feed at night (Full moon) and movement on waterholes (which is pretty much the norm in bowhunting in SA) I would say drops by 60%Once again this is especially true of Kudu, Oryx, Wildebbest And Zebra simple fact of the matter is when bowhunting you hunt until last light, and if you have no light to shoot it is simply not going to happen, it also puts a new spin on things once you start paying for trophies and shooting those ones at last light and not being able to recover tham due to poor blood trail or whichever reason, only finding them the next morning to be chomped on by Hyenna and Jackal will make most hunters think twice about shooting in low light, I am mentioning this because this is what happens on a full phase those Oryx and other species come in right at dark and even right after and definitely during.

As Jaco says, moon phase is pretty important to a bowhunter hunting from stands over water. If the property is conducive to stalk hunting - and you're good at it - then it doesn't matter too much! If you can, set yr hunt up for a dark phase...why make things difficult for yourself?!

I think it is especially important when hunting predators, leopard, lion, small cats etc. it seems to be much more productive on a dark moon. I am booked for brown bear this year and it will be a full moon and I am concerned about it

spike.t & docman - you better watch yourselves. The same can be said about men. Being a woman going through menopause I always know when there is a full moon.Alles van dies beste!!

I know a lot of people put a lot of faith in the moon phase set ther hunts up or stay in bed because of it, now I can't speak for every where but where I live I've been doing an Experiment for the past two years I've put my cameras out and have gotten thousands of pictures of deer moving and comparing these to several popular hunting magazines that post the moon phase for hunting and fishing info. I've came to one conclusion FUEY with all of those pic with the moon phase, temp. and time printed on them in 2 years with med. hunting pressure this year I got 1 picture that matched the moon phase in those books. I to will be hunting on 2 June my Birthday on the East Cape and all I can say is critters beware.Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

We hunt (as full time African professional hunters) every day on average 180 days a season, some seasons 200, over a 12 year period you would be looking at roughly 2 280 days spent watching monitoring game, figuring out what is ideal and what not whilst hunting with clients,
Currently we have 3 African guides on this thread one of which has roughly 5000+ days of active hunting as a professional hunter and another roughly having 3500 days of hunting under their belts as well. that is a combined experiences of 10 780 days (29,5 years of physical time spent hunting every day) hunting with clients I also hold firm that movement slows down.
Why else would we reccomend our bow clients to rather not come over a full moon phase ..... because we are superstitious?? No it is better success for them and ultimatly better for an outfitters bank account.
My best always.

Hawker Beechcraft to Have Commanding Presence at NBAA 2010
The company's static display – measuring an expansive 36,000 square feet – will feature its entire family of commercial aircraft under one roof at the DeKalb Peachtree Airport.
WICHITA, Kan. (Oct. 13, 2010) – Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) today announced it will have its largest presence in the company's history during the 63rd Annual Meeting & Convention of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) on Oct. 19-21 in Atlanta. The company's static display – measuring an expansive 36,000 square feet – will feature its entire family of commercial aircraft under one roof at the DeKalb Peachtree Airport. In addition, for the first time HBC's indoor exhibit at the Georgia World Congress Center will be dedicated to its Global Customer Support organization.
"We've designed our exhibit and static display to align with our top priorities in our business – our customers and our aircraft," said Shawn Vick, HBC executive vice president. "Our static display will be the largest to date and, for the first time, all of our commercial aircraft, mock-ups and meeting rooms will be available under one roof. We are creating an environment out at static that is conducive to what NBAA is all about – conducting business."

We held two summer workshops in 2007.
This interdisciplinary seminar will underscore the historic and symbiotic relationship between the two regions since antiquity and how they have shaped each other's destinies in the spheres of politics, economics, and culture.
We will highlight five interrelated themes in a manner consistent with the California history, social science, and language frameworks: the grounding and fundamental synergy between the Middle East and Greece, expressly in the realm of philosophy and the interchange of knowledge and ideas, albeit also in the sphere of regional power rivalry, especially with Egypt and Persia; the onslaught of the Crusades and their impact on the Middle East and Europe, in warfare and in generating trade and commerce; the formidable influence and impact of Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire; the ages of colonialism and nationalism spurred in the 19th century by French and British occupation and rule; and the current status and impact of immigration from Turkey and North Africa, and by extension Islam in Europe.
Dates: July 21-August 2, 2007; 9am-4 pm daily, excluding weekends except first Saturday.
4 LAUSD multicultural general salary credits or 4 University Extension quarter-units Most suitable to middle school and high school history, social studies, and language arts teachers.
For more information please call 310-825-4060 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Sponsored by the Center for Near Eastern Studies, the Center for European and Eurasian Studies, and the UCLA History-Geography Project.
In conjunction with the UCLA History-Geography Project we are also sponsoring two related preliminary sessions (March 17 and June 2, 10 am-1 pm). Attendance at the preliminary program (accredited by University Education Extension) is independent of attendance at the summer workshop. For additional information, send an e-mail to email@example.com or call (310) 206-9796.
The objective of this intensive two week workshop is to examine how various national policies in Latin America have dealt with issues of race, class and gender.
Dates: August 4 – August 16, 2007; 9am-4pm daily, not weekends (except the first Saturday)
After being under Iberian authority for over two hundred years, how have various Latin American countries addressed issues of race, class and gender while establishing their national identities? Particular attention will be placed on groups that have been routinely excluded from the conversation of building national identities. Teachers will be able to implement themes presented in this workshop into their standards based lesson plans.
Teachers will be led by an expert group of scholars who will provide the historic and social context to explain how different Latin American cultures have developed since gaining their independence. Participants will also be exposed to some current socio-cultural issues facing Latin American countries. In addition to content related sessions, the 10-day seminar will include curriculum development workshops. Teachers will first look at the curriculum implications of the materials presented by the scholars. They will then be guided into the development of the curriculum materials and lesson plans that improve reading, writing, analyzing, synthesizing and communication skills.
Online Registration
4 LAUSD multicultural general salary credits or 4 University Extension quarter-units. Most suitable for middle school and high school history and social studies teachers. The seminar fee of $150 includes registration, accreditation, parking, refreshments and educational materials.

No, they didn't enter the mansion itself...the route they took was as follows...(the following quote is taken from Dick Grob's book, "The Elvis Conspiracy?"):
"The casket was moved from its position in the entrance to the music room and placed in the foyer. It was lined up just inside the doorway to Graceland with the head of the casket pointing north. Preparations for the public viewing were now almost complete. This was to be the most trying of ordeals from a security standpoint. Sam and I had discussed the procedures over and over, trying to make sure we had covered all the bases.
Up until now, movements of Elvis's body had been unannounced and done with relative little publicity and completed in secret with plenty of escort for protection. Now, we were about to ask people to come close, to enter the confines of the estate and to approach close to the casket. Even under normal circumstances this would be a problem. Fans mobbed Elvis wherever he went but he loved every minute of it and he didn't want to ever lose that appeal or that respect. But things were not normal. Elvis was deceased and the fans were not there in the same fashion as before a concert. They were upset. They were hysterical in somce cases. They were not normal. Many had come from hudreds of miles away, some further. They were crying. They were sad. This was not to be a happy moment.
The showing of emotion under these circumstances was to be expected but we needed to be aware of the overly emotional person. That was to be expected also. We didn't want anyone throwing themselves onto the casket or disrupting the process for those who followed. Sam and I analyzed what needed to be done. We also felt that someone might want to take pictures which we did not wish to have happen. I was determined to not have his picture appear on the front page of some newspaper while he was laying in a coffin. That was my own personal failure out of this entire process. I rpotected Elvis from outsiders but thought that the "threat" would come from the inside from his own family. I quickly learned what a bunch of "turn coats" existed within the family.
Our first concern was to control the crowd. While they were all outside we had relative ease in controlling them. Once we opened the gates and invited them in, things could change. The crowd estimated by now to be approaching 100,000 was massive. Control could be very easily lost if it was allowed to slip for just one instance.
The "black and white" plan was set into motion. The front gate would be opened only wide enough to allow one person at a time to pass. The security detail on the gate would be "beefed" up, putting men on the pillars with speakers to announce the rules for entering. The men inside would channel those entering to the right side of the drive. Two barricades would be set outside the gate to channel those entering to come from the right side of the gate and allowing those leaving to exit to the left. This only worked partially especially after time began to run out for people to enter. Once inside they would be directed to pass up the drive along the right side by officers stationed along the way. Announcements would be made at the gate and just before making the turn toward the house that cameras would not be permitted and that they would be confiscated and the offenders ejected immediately. People were advised to leave their cameras outside, however they could leave them in the gate house but we were acceepting no responsibility. They were also advised that anyone getting off the drive onto the grass would be ejected. They were allowed to look at the flowers but to not touch.
As the line approached the house, another annoucement would be made showing that there would be no stopping on front of the casket. The line was allowed to walk up the front steps on the right side, walk past the front door and exit by the left side of the steps. A chain and stanchion type barrier was placed directly in front of the casket to prevent anyone from approaching closer than three feet. Once they had passed by the coffin they exited the estate by walking down the drive on the left side finally coming back to the front gate. There, entering people were stopped to allow those exiting to pass out the gates. The entire process we estimated would take a half hour from the time one entered until they left. We did not realize how close together the fans would stand in line as they made their way up to the house. At one point it took almost two hours to pass by the casket.
Vernon had originally said that he wanted to let the fans file by for two hours. This was the time we planned upon. Security was set on the casket itself. On either side of the door just outside the house were uniformed officers, one to each side. These officers were on the casket of the barrier set up. On the crowd side of the barrier stood two members of the Honor Guard, one to each side. Just inside the door were two other security people. Al Strada stood at the foot of the casket and Dean (Nichopolous) was at the head. Either man could move from his position tot he ouside area of the casket by taking one step. The United States flag and the Tennessee flag stood on stadards just outside the door. Four other members of the National Guard honor guard stood by the pillars at the top of the steps.
Thus I felt that no one could get to the casket. If anyone tried there were several "circles" of prevention and protection that would come into play. Al did not move from his position refusing any relief durring the entire time we allowed the public to pass. Al took this as a personal assignment and was not about to be denied for any reason. I believe that if we were still allowing fans to pass, he would still be standing there.
So the arrangements were set. Both Sam and I would be out front watching the crowd. All the officers were instructed to be watchful for anyone acting "crazy" or strange. Those individuals would be watched more closely as they approached the house. We reviewed the plans once more and could see no flaws that were apparent. We hoped and prayed it would work."
