A superb spot for a large birthday dinner because you can order a bunch of little plates and share. Check their website: Andalu often has deals like Taco Tuesday or half-off bottles of wine night.
Poor customer service, poor safety, poor experience. – Last Thursday evening, a man snatched my bag from under the table. Upon reporting it to the owner, he never apologized, he never showed compassion or sympathy, he never offered any type of compensation, and he never made any effort to help catch the thief. Believe it or not, the owner actually encouraged me to write this review to tell people they are not safe at his restaurant. What is ironic is that he saw the thief loitering around the restaurant for about 20 minutes, but did not ask him to leave because he was not hurting anyone. (The back door was wide open, with no camera on the door because the owner says he can keep an eye on it while he works the bar; keep an eye on it he did - he saw the thief enter the restaurant and walk around while talking on his cell phone, but never asked the intruder to leave). The owner also would not speak with the police, even though he could perfectly describe the thief to me.
It is this attitude that would never bring me back to Andula again. It has now been four days since the incident, and the owner has refused to respond to my calls requesting information for the police and my insurance claim.
I hope you never get robbed, but more importantly, I hope you never have to deal with the staff at Andula, because they obviously have not been trained in customer service...even if the food and drinks are good.
Have the fondue! – I love Andalu. I always take my friends from out of town here. It's all about the Gruyere fondue. Served with toast and apples and pears...and simply awesome.
The Ahi tacos are delicious, as is the pumpkin barley salad. The wine selection is nice, and they have lots of fancy mixed drinks to choose from. The ginger halibut was a bit too much by itself, but atop some of that toast...divine...
I really liked their crab rangoon...but that seems to have been taken off the menu.
Still, the good service, classy, dim lighting, and overall feel of Andalu is worth it...even without the crab.
Great Place – Love it!
cooler than you hostess can't be bothered – I've dined at Andalu for both dinner and for Sunday brunch a handful of times. The food is good but the dinner menu is limited and seems to be unchanged in the 2+ years I've been going there. The brunch menu is excellent but the brunch hostess flat out refused to let our waiter know we wanted to order coffee, then filled all of the water glasses at our table except mine. She was just too hip to lower herself to speak to the waiter, I guess. I sent a letter to the management but 3 weeks later have not received any response. So, that tells me that the management just simply does not care. This place is worth going to for dinner but not on a date because it's very loud. Try the tuna tacos. They're wonderful. Go for brunch if you don't mind being treated like you should consider yourself fortunate to be in the presence of their hipness.
The plates may be small, but the flavors are huge at this chic Mission tapas bar. – Under a vaulted sky-blue ceiling painted to look like the sky, window booths give way to intimate tables for two and a zinc bar. Servers are efficient and quick with recommendations of small plates drawn from Asia, Latin America and Europe. Mini ahi tartare tacos are given some kick with chili and lime, then topped with a sweet mango salsa. Beautifully textured filet mignon carpaccio, dressed with lemon aioli, fennel and mushroom salad, is a standout. The moist, slightly sweet Coca-Cola braised short ribs are balanced by a savory white bean salad on the side. Finish the meal with stellar made-to-order doughnut holes, which are accompanied by petite mugs of rich, creamy hot chocolate for dipping.
Go here! – I?ve been here before and each time, I have had a very pleasant dining experience. On top of that, did you know this restaurant is teaming up with StreetSmart4kids? It?s actually really cool what they?re doing. I just heard about how SS4K is a nonprofit organization that helps underprivileged teens stay healthy. They are running their ?Dine Out and Donate? campaign here (as well as approx. 70 other restaurants in SF) during October and early November. After having a fabulous dining experience, just fill out the donation form when paying the check (minimum donation $3). This is perfect for people like me, who love to eat out all the time and also like to give back to the community. Check it out for yourself on the StreetSmart4Kids website!
Great Portions, Great Service, Great Fondue! – We went here on a Thursday night around 9:30pm, which is half price Sangria night, FYI. Our waiter, Morty, chose some great options! We recommend the Fondue!!! The olives are mild but delicious. We also had the Sea Bass, Short Ribs and Sliders, all which were delicious, but the Sea Bass was our favorite. All the portions were great size and we were even too stuffed for dessert. I could see how it would be crowed and too noisy on the weekends, but the food definitely makes this place worth visiting. We will be back. PS? watch out for the fondue gas.
Above-average brunch w/ annoying little surprises – Picked this place for solo Saturday brunch based on the "free doughnut holes" enticement. The holes were excellent -- tasty and hot -- but two's all you get. If you want more than two, you pay. (Groan.) My ham/chorizo/egg scramble was delicious, and so were the polenta fries that came with it. Portion size was decent. Coffee was above average but it's all French Press, and you pay by the cup. Note to management: Brunch without free refills on coffee is annoying. Got a bloody mary. Lots of stuff in there, including a whole celery stalk, a pickled green bean, several cocktail onions, and a lemon wedge. Showy but tasty. Service was friendly. The place was 85% empty when I arrived at 1:00, and the floor smelled very heavily of cleaning fluid. I'll probably go back. But I think I'll try a few other places first, as I'm pretty new to SF and wasn't bowled over.
bad food, bad service, forget about using the rest room – We ate here for a birthday party... bad choice! The service obviously knew they were getting the "18% gratuity for parties of 6 or more". We waited for drinks, watching other tables get served second rounds and food before we were served water.
The food arrived cold, when expected hot, warm when expected cold... forget about complaining. No server to be seen! The bathroom was so poorly maintained, I seriously have seen better restroom conditions in gas stations on the way to Tahoe, Friday night at 11:00pm. Needless to say, filthy toilet... no TP... no paper towels. This room is only a few feet away from the tables. I sent a complaint letter to the manager. No response. I really don't understand how this place remains in business... it must be those darn "mac & cheese sticks" which are truely devine... if they arrive warm!
We loved all of it! – Our foursome thoroughly enjoyed each of the eight dishes we chose - veggie, meat and fish - and saw many others on the menu that sounded equally appetizing. We agreed we'd need a return trip! With cocktails, wine and dessert our bill for the four of us was $160. The space has character and appeal, the waitstaff was knowledgeable and friendly, and the service was excellent. We passed three comfortable hours there, very enjoyably! Valet parking made us happy, too!

Fresno >Food Manufacturers > Central Fish Co

Mon. - Sat. 10:30am - 6pm;Sun. 11am - 5pm
Neighborhoods: Central Fresno, Central
Absolutely Horrible! Stay Away! – I went to Central Fish Co. for the first time two days ago. I could tell their whole fish was not fresh. The eyes of the fish were not clear at all, and the flesh looked off color. I selected a halibut filet. I should have smelled it before I bought it. For those of you who might not be aware, fresh fish should NOT smell like fish. Some may think fish should smell like fish but if you have ever smelled raw **fresh** fish it does NOT smell fishy. Just think of Sushi. When you eat Sushi it does not smell at all no matter what kind of fish you get.
I took it home opened and opened it right away to cook it. When I opened the package the smell was absolutely putrid. Like rotting fish in the sun.
I would like to think this was just a fluke for Central Fish Co. but I can't. The person that is packaging the fish for you when you select it should be the final quality control for the business. If he smells the fish he KNOWS its not good and therefore should not sell it to you. I am chalking up my $17.00 loss to an educational experience to NEVER go to Central Fish Co. again. If they cook the same fish they sell in their restaurant I would stay away from that also.
Great seafood – The seafood is great. I like the shrimp selection. All the fish is fresh and you can place orders for something if needed. If you need anything Asian for home they will most likely have it in there store. I love to shop there. I recommend checking it out if you have not.

Civility and Sectarianism in Syria: What Now?
A lecture by Lindsay Gifford, UCLA
Published: Monday, May 21, 2012
Sectarianism and sectarian violence have come to be considered among the central problems confronting the contemporary era of nation-states, especially in the Middle East. With violence continually escalating in Syria, the specter of sectarianism is a major concern for all those affected by the conflict, from civilians on the ground to the highest levels of the Asad regime. On a day-to-day level, sectarianism can of course disrupt quotidian life, generate mistrust, and create tensions between neighbors, coworkers, and even family members, as well as interfere with the business of state structures and institutions. Sectarianism is often portrayed and understood as an intractable quagmire, something to be dealt with by the state but not necessarily overcome, a mode of sociability that has been entrenched in the global south for generations and which isn't going anywhere anytime soon. This position is particularly tangible in both popular and policy discussions focusing on the Middle East.
In contrast to these pervasive views, this talk argues that an autochthonous form of intersectarian civility has actually been present in the popular neighborhoods of contemporary Damascus. Contrary to the Asad regime's official stance, this civility has not merely been imposed top-down by the state onto the complex sociocultural milieu of Syrian society. The talk will deal with how, when, and in what ways intersectarian civility is deployed, as well as the ways in which this civility is challenged both by individuals and by structural violence in Syrian state and society. Finally, Dr. Gifford will address the current uprising taking place in Syria and some of the implications this violent conflict has for the future of intersectarian civility in the country.
Lindsay Gifford is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at UCLA, supported by the National Science Foundation's Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (2011-2013). She is also the recipient of the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship (2006-2007), the Senior Teaching Fellowship at Boston University (2007-2009), and the Research Scholar Award at UCLA's Center for the Study of Women (2010-2011). She completed her Ph.D. in Sociocultural Anthropology at Boston University (2009), conducting research on civil society and associational life under the authoritarian state in Damascus' religiously diverse popular neighborhoods. Her current project examines Iraqi refugee strategies toward patterns of urban violence in refugee communities located in both the U.S. and the Middle East.

Department of Homeland Security Uses Twitter for Monitoring Citizens
National Operation Center's Twitter is used to monitor more than 300 newly named accounts.
On the heels of revelations about National Security Agency spying, it turns out the Department of Homeland Security has its own way of keeping tabs on the American public via social media.
[READ: DHS Director Janet Napolitano Steps Down]
New documents show DHS's National Operation Center has been using Twitter to monitor the public and 337 accounts of interest.
No tweets have been posted from the account, @DHSNOCMMC1, and it does not appear to accept follow requests. The Twitter accounts DHS follows remained private until Freedom of Information Act documents revealing the accounts were posted by government transparency group MuckRock Wednesday.
Among the accounts it follows are a mix of news organizations, police and fire departments, emergency management agencies and utility companies. The only individuals followed are District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
[ALSO: NSA Sued by Hodgepodge Group Over Surveillance]
In 2012, the Daily Mail revealed a list of keywords being tracked by the DHS on social media, including "Mexico," "nuclear," "flu," and "pork." Twitter applications TweetDeck and TweetGrid were used to monitor tweets according to the MuckRock documents. Over a six-month period the National Operations Center generated more than 9,300 "item-of-interest" reports from its social media monitoring program, according to California Watch.
"The Department of Homeland Security's National Operations Center employs social media monitoring for situational awareness purposes only, within the clearly defined parameters articulated in our Privacy Impact Assessment, to ensure that critical information reaches appropriate decision-makers," said DHS spokesman Peter Boogaard in a statement emailed to Whispers.

Mon - Thurs: 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Fri & Sat: 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Sun: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Neighborhoods: Irvine Business Complex
Traditional American mini-chain serves comfort food in a retro atmosphere. – In Short
Oversized mahogany booths, a black-and-white tile floor and vintage photographs add up to a '40s chic experience. Straightforward starters include popcorn shrimp, quesadillas and a host of salad choices. Entrees are more stick-to-your-ribs fare, like the signature flaky chicken pot pie and a mushroom-topped meat loaf with mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side. Down-home desserts include strawberry shortcake and apple pie.
An all-American kind of place. – When worst comes to worst and I have nowhere to eat, I know I can always find a great piece of fish at this restaurant. Even when I am not at a loss for other restaurants, I will go here. They have pretty much everything, and I've never been disappointed with what I've eaten. I like the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of this restaurant, and never find myself paying too much. If you're looking for a good salad, sandwich or are just in the mood for quality American food, dine here.
Nice place to go after work. – It is a very fun place to be after work. The parking situation may be an issue depending on the time, but overall, I enjoyed the time there.
Don't think I'm going back there again.......tasty food, but poor service. – Enjoyed the food..........Hostesses & cocktail waitresses are pleasent and friendly.........however, I don't think the manager there knows how to treat his customers. He seems to care more about his appearance and acting like an important person than providing his customers with good time! Not going back to that location.
Good Food, But BAD Service! – To celebrate getting a new job, my friend took me out to the Daily Grill in Irvine on 2/28/07 at 7pm. Like the one in downtown Los Angeles, the food was great! However, when my friend ordered a Guiness beer, it was flat - absolutely no foam and tasted awful. So she asked for a new one (only had one sip of the 1st beer). The waiter said, "are you sure it's flat?!" My friend said "yes". Then to my surprise the manager of the restaurant came by (I'm sure after the server complained to the manager) and asked, "well, how do YOU pour your beer at home? you see, the way you poor a beer is important to the taste of the beer." I told the manager that my friend is a bartender so she knows the difference between good or bad beers. My friend said, "I understand that restaurants can get batches of bad beer so it is understandable." Manager said, "99% of the beers we get are good batches. I'll get you another drink (if the 2nd one is flat), but I guess I'll have to test (drink) all the beers to make sure we have a good batch." Considering my friend and I used to work in restaurants for 5+ years, we know how to treat our customers, with R-E-S-P-E-C-T. They still charged us for 2 beers (my friend only had a sip of the 1st beer)! For 2 people (and deciding to skip dessert since that incident), our bill came out to about $86.xx. It's not like we order one entree and shared it. After we had a How-To-Pour-And-Drink-A-Beer 101 crash course from the mid to late 20s male manager and with the server questioning us too, my friend gave absolutely NO tip. That manager should not be in the service industry. He definitely spoiled the night for me, my friend, and the server, who received no tip at all.
best fn bar ever! – best bar tenders: Tracy, Murphy, Ben, and most of all Abel aka: Tiger

Education professionals are introduced to Walden University and to the requirements for successful participation in an online curriculum. Education professionals work toward building a foundation for academic and professional success as scholar-practitioners and social change agents. They also engage in course assignments focused on the practical application of professional writing, critical-thinking skills, and the promotion of professional and academic excellence.
A wide variety of factors, including limitations, innovations, and major breakthroughs, influence the evolution of learning. Through this course, education professionals gain framework for understanding educational technology, helping them keep up-to-date with modern technological trends that affect teaching and learning. Education professionals examine this evolution and the history of educational technology as a field of study before and following the emergence of computers and cyberspace technology. Through a variety of applied assignments, they focus on how educational technology has evolved through the ages of agriculture, industry, and information.
The choice to effect positive social change in education demands that scholar-practitioners have the requisite skills and abilities to take responsibility for generating new knowledge, conserving the values of education, and communicating that information to others. In this second course on social change, students examine these key principles of disciplinary stewardship, while building strategies to engage the scholarship in education.
Different theories, paradigms, and the history of distance education will be explored. Learners critique current research and assess online learning programs including hybrid and fully online delivery. Accessibility issues, open source, best practices to facilitate learning, global trends, and the move from elite to mass higher education will be analyzed. Synchronous versus asynchronous platforms will be contrasted.
Education professionals in this course explore issues related to leadership regarding the integration of technology in business and in education at any level, including K–12 schools, community colleges, teacher education, or higher education. They explore such areas as leadership, strategic planning, systems acquisition, coordination, implementation, technology management and its implications for teaching and learning, and administrative functions. Moreover, they share perspectives through discussions on policies that affect human resource development, staff development, information access, security, management control, and evaluation.
Instructional design for distance education involves understanding educational experiences, what makes these experiences effective, and the ways in which students learn in the online environment. This course provides education professionals with the opportunity to gain a practical understanding of these topics through the examination of learning styles, learning theory, social networking and collaborative group influences, assessment, global perspectives, and diversity. They also analyze effective online educational experiences from education and the workplace. Focusing on the design and delivery of distance education, education professionals engage in applied assignments that emphasize developing, field testing, and revising a web-based unit. They also explore ways to employ engaging instructional electronic strategies to enhance design and development. (Prerequisites: EDUC 8842 or 7102).
In this course, education professionals extend their knowledge of learning theory, including behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism, to the application of educational technology as they explore ways to translate theory to practice. Education professionals explore instructional interventions and their potential improvement through the application of technology. They also use a variety of theories, such as multiple intelligences, constructivism, computers as mind tools, brain-based learning, and connectivism to learn how technology facilitates learning. Through a collaborative constructivist activity, education professionals critically analyze constructivist learning theorists to determine how their principles apply to educational technology. Using knowledge gained from these analyses, education professionals identify and explain related challenges regarding the use of constructivist and collaborative activities for learning as well as solutions for overcoming these barriers.
Education professionals in this course focus on integrating technology in the K–12 curriculum by exploring effective use of technology to facilitate learning across the content areas. They explore best practices related to the design and implementation of technology-infused projects that meet specific curricular standards, and they analyze technology literacy, technology for assessment purposes, and applications of technology to make interdisciplinary connections. Education professionals demonstrate their understanding of course concepts as they develop problem-based learning instructional units that address authentic problems, incorporating lesson plans, student collaboration through social networking, and assessment rubrics.
Through this course, education professionals explore strategies for facilitating learning through the use of technology, including electronic and multimedia presentation of materials and curriculum design. Delving deeper into content and sharing perspectives, education professionals engage in weekly discussions on a range of topics, including functions and tools of and research on multimedia-based instructional design, Mayer's triarchic model of cognitive load; cognitive learning styles of digital natives versus digital immigrants, dual coding, and assessments for multimedia assignments. They gain practical experience designing learning materials based on principles of universal design using electronic materials.
The emergence of new technologies in the information age and beyond is dramatically changing the way people teach and learn in K–12 education, higher education, and corporations. Education professionals in this course explore new scholarship, collaborative tools, social networking, wireless and mobile technologies, creative commons, fair use, user-created content, and virtual worlds to become leaders in helping to diffuse these innovations. They also engage in a multi-media presentation to analyze obsolete technology, assess new technology, and explore projections regarding future technological movements. Through this project, education professionals are better able to conceive a world where technology is a seamless aspect of learning and work.
In this course, education professionals examine the use of technology in K–12 education to bridge the achievement gap for students from culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds. They explore a range of topics, including the use of technology to meet varying ability levels; the use of assistive technologies to foster learning in students with special needs; and the application of technology as a tool to engage and motivate gifted students. Using case study scenarios, education professionals engage in activities to demonstrate their understanding of course content, including application of research-based practices, adaptation of curriculum to meet needs of diverse learners, and analysis of skills and strategies to foster high levels of learning.
This capstone course is the conclusion of the program for education professionals in which they are provided with the opportunity to engage in a practical application of knowledge and skills gained throughout the program. Working in a consultative role in the field of educational technology, education professionals engage in a real-world, problem-solving project within their work environment. This capstone also provides the opportunity for education professionals to formulate a personal philosophy concerning the role of technology in education.

Ryan blames bad back for public intoxication charge
The Columbus Dispatch - December 06, 2012 3:12 PM
Because Ryan is co-chairman of the Congressional Addiction, Treatment, and Recovery Caucus, and the Military Health and Suicide Prevention Caucus, Ohio Republican Chairman Robert T. Bennett today called for a fuller explanation.
"As a public servant and co-chairman of a caucus that addresses alcohol and substance abuse, Tim Ryan accepts a higher standard for his own behavior. Congressman Ryan should disclose public records about what happened," the GOP chairman said ina release.
"He said he was attending a wedding reception, but the wedding was the next 'day'. Why are we hearing about this just now? When he says 'we were walking' who else is he talking about? Who was he with?
"With so many questions unanswered it will be impossible for Congressman Ryan to maintain credibility as a leader of a congressional organization that raises awareness and other concerns for people facing addiction issues. It's time to hear from our elected official - what's the truth?" Bennett asked.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"The colors I picked turned out great (blush and grey) The invites are beautiful! Its SO worth the extra 10 cents to add the shine to them. They have a hint of shimmer and glitter. Im in love. I cant wait to send them out."
"These invitations are exactly how we imagined they would be. I had been looking for quite some time and nothing had really jumped out at us, and that is what we wanted. We did the pearl shimmer finish and rounded corners and it really added something extra. My fiance's favorite part, and one of mine as well, was the initials on the back. Something different, which is exactly what we were going for. Can't wait to send these out!"
"The Invitations were perfect, service was fantastic very accomadating to making small changes to personalize our invitations to suit our needs! So so happy"
"This invitation is unique and entirely charming. The flowers on the front and back look like chalk drawings, which will be easy to replicate on chalk boards at our reception. In person, the invitation looks luxe and super personal - as if we had it designed just for us. We added text to the back at the invitation at no extra charge, which was a huge bonus. I'd highly recommend this design."

The two most common reasons for application rejection are issues with core functionality and crashing. Core functionality encompasses the belief that customers rightfully expect all the features described in the marketing text and release notes to work as described, and likewise that all the buttons and menu items within the application will be fully functional (i.e., no grayed out buttons or notifications that a feature will be implemented later). Before you submit your app for approval, make sure that every aspect of your application is fully functional and that the marketing text and release notes correspond to the end user experience.
Also, make sure you thoroughly test your application on iPhone and iPod touch in addition to the iPhone Simulator. A large percentage of applications are rejected due to various types of crashes, including crashes on launch, which would have been found and dealt with if they'd been tested on an actual device. Don't skip that step in the development process.Read more app submission tips

Oh the drama! Super Ads go epicBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | February 05,2013AP Photo
The Super Bowl advertisement by Hyundai Motor Groups Kia. In the advertisment, Kia invents a fanciful way that babies are made, blasting in from a baby planet in its Space babies ad for the 2014 Sorento crossover.NEW YORK Super Bowl ads this year morphed into mini soap operas.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson shrugged off aliens so he could get more milk for his kids in a Super Bowl spot for the Milk Processor Education Program. Anheuser-Buschs commercial told the story of a Clydesdale colt growing up and returning to his owner for a heartfelt hug years later. And a Jeep ad portrayed the trials and triumphs of people waiting for the return of their family members.
The reason for all the drama off the field? With 30-second spots going for as much as $4 million and more than 111 million viewers expected to tune in, marketers are constantly looking for ways to make their ads stand out. And its increasingly difficult to captivate viewers with short-form plots involving babies, celebrities, sex and humor unless theres a compelling story attached.
Tear-jerking mini epics
Chrysler started the long-format commercial trend last year, with a two-minute spot starring Clint Eastwood that became very popular.
This year, Chrysler led the trend again with its two-minute salute to troops and their families. The ad featured Oprah Winfrey reading a letter from the Jeep brand to encourage families to stay hopeful.
Anheuser-Busch also pulled at heartstrings with a spot about a Clydesdale colt growing up and moving away from his farm and his trainer who raised him from birth. Years later, the trainer drives to Chicago to see the horse in a parade. The horse spots his trainer and gallops toward him, nuzzling him fondly as the trainer hugs him.
User-inspired tales
Lincolns 90-second ad was inspired by tweets by fans about road trips. The company asked people to send their stories, and Jimmy Fallon, host of NBCs Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, decided on which tales would be used.
The ad, which was based on more than 6,000 tweets from fans, shows adventures during a fictional road trip. A woman picks up a German hitchhiker, and they go to an alpaca farm, get stopped by turtles crossing the road, and drive through a movie set.
Comedy goes long
Samsungs two-minute ad showed Seth Rogen (The Guilt Trip) and Paul Rudd (Role Models) getting called in to do a Next Big Thing ad for Samsung. But theyre agitated once they realize that theyre sharing the spotlight. LeBron James, an NBA basketball player for the Miami Heat, makes a cameo, appearing on the screen of a tablet.
Budweiser, a long-time Super Bowl advertiser, also told a continuing story in two of its ads. One showed rival 49ers and Ravens fans each creating a voodoo doll for the other team with the help of R&B legend Stevie Wonder. In the other ad, fans go to great lengths to curse a rival fans lucky chair.
Its only weird if it doesnt work, the words in the ad read.
Not all ads tells a story
Although many advertisers tried to pull people in with lengthy story lines, there were a few that stuck with short, quirky spots with no particular plot.
GoDaddy.coms ad was one of them. It showed a close up, extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and a nerdy guy wearing glasses to illustrate GoDaddys combo of sexy and smart.
Some viewers thought the ad was too explicit for the Super Bowl.
I dont care who wins the game. I just dont want to see that commercial again, ever, said Stephen G. Smith, 63, an editor at The Washington Times in Washington, D.C.

Christmas events across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset
4:50pm Tuesday 24th December 2013 in News By Katie Clark
While the weather outside might be frightful, there are still some events taking place over Christmas Day and Boxing Day if you fancy blowing away the cobwebs and venturing outside for a bit of fresh air.
On Christmas Day, brave souls will be taking to the cold seas for the first of two Christmas Day swims.
The White Christmas Dip – a Macmillan Caring Locally event – will be held on the right side of Boscombe Pier from 10am.
Hundreds are expected to take part in the event, which has become a popular tradition for many before their lunch.
At 10.45am the Spartans will be venturing into the water on the left side of the Pier for their traditional swim. Members will be in fancy dress, like the White Christmas Dip, with the Mayor of Bournemouth, Cllr Rodney Cooper expected to attend the event.
Gateway Church Bournemouth and Poole will also be indulging in a swim at Branksome Chine at 12noon after their 10am service.
Youngsters at Poole Hospital will receive their gifts from the Amelia Grace Rainbow Fund on Christmas Day. The charity has been part of the Daily Echo Toy Appeal this year, which has seen hundreds of gifts donated for needy and sick children and families.
On Boxing Day there are a variety of events taking place in the area.
At Avon Beach in Christchurch, the Dare to Bare swim will be held at 11am for brave souls wanting a refreshing dip after Christmas Day excesses.
Fancy dress is optional and all proceeds will go to the RNLI based at Mudeford Quay.
At 11am, Bournemouth Lifeguards will be presented with medals at Durley Chine beach.
And also at 11am, Autism Wessex's annual 10k run will start at Moors Valley Country Park.
The event is normally held at Somerley Park near Ringwood but has been switched around this year.
The 10k will begin at 11am and the 2k fun run at 11.15am.
Do you have an event taking place over the Christmas holidays? Let us know at email@example.com or tweet us @bournemouthecho

Yaya Toure eyes FA Cup glory
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure hopes his side can experience the joy of winning the FA Cup again this season.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
City would have to take on Watford in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday without their talismanic midfield engine Toure, who joined up with the Ivory Coast squad to prepare for the upcoming African Cup of Nations tournament.
Roberto Mancini's men last won the tournament two seasons ago, with Toure scoring the winning goal for his side in a 1-0 win over Stoke City; the Citizens' FA Cup success in 2011 was the club's first major trophy since 1976 and gave them the confidence to win the Premier League title last season.
And Toure expressed his wish to recapture the magic of winning the FA Cup once again this season.
"I'll be keeping up with what is happening while I'm away and I'm hoping I can take part in the FA Cup on my return," Toure was quoted as saying by the official Manchester City website.
"It's a very special competition for me because it's where our journey as a team began.
"It's where the trophies started and was our first achievement and it's definitely a completion we would love to win again.
"I'll never forget scoring the winning goals in the semi-final and final in 2011 so the FA Cup will always mean a great deal to me on a personal level.
"We are out of Europe now so it's important we focus on the competitions we can still win - it's vital we do this because we want to win more and more cups for our fans and I think they would really enjoy another trip to Wembley."
With City currently seven points behind league leaders Manchester United in the Premier League table, Toure believes it will be a tough ask for his side to clinch the title from the Red Devils but urged his side to continue fighting on all fronts.
"We have to win something this season but nothing comes easily," Toure added.
"We need to keep everyone fit and I hope it is like last year when we managed to avoid injuries to all our major players because it is a time of the campaign when you need your strongest team available."
Depending on how well Ivory Coast do in the African Cup of Nations, City might have to do without Toure for up to five weeks, but the 29-year-old could be back for his club to take part in the fifth round of the FA Cup if the Citizens progress that far.

Comments about Kuat NV 2 Bike Tray Hitch Rack:
First off Jenson USA is awesome. Great price, great shipping fee and great time on delivery.
I've had my NV (2") for a little over a week now and I'm very impressed. The hardware is not only attractive but is very solid. Had two MT bikes on both with 780mm handlebars without any issues. The clearance between the handlebars and my rear window is over 6". My car is a 2012 Dodge Durango and the rear glass slopes in towards the cab at the top.
With the hitch locking cam cranked down there is just a slight amount of play, which is a good thing. (Building things without a bit of flex and too rigidly is a structural faux pas)
Bikes go on and come off quickly. There isn't much play in the security cable which helps in not damaging the frame. Please note that the cable will only go through the rear triangles. I typically carry an extra cable to lock down my seat & wheels if i need the extra protection.
Assembly was easy enough. I did it on my own, would have been easier having an extra pair of hands. I foolishly took off the strategically placed plastic wrap prior to assembly. I then realized it was there to help protect the finish when using the allen wrench so i recommend keeping it on until assembly is complete.
Overall this is an excellent rack and I definitely recommend it.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuat NV 2 Bike Tray Hitch Rack:
This thing is worth the money! It's well built and secure. I love the ball joint that expands in the hitch to remove the play/slop from the rack. I keep this on my truck 95% of the time. When I only have time for a quick ride, I can throw my bike on in less than a minute. Also, there is not much (if any) effect on MPG with this attached. Not that I'm concerned about that, but some are.
Dont spend a bunch of $$$ on a nice bike then haul it around with a rack that scuffs up the frame. You absolutely will not regret spending a little extra for this rack!

Best Uses
Comments about Kuat NV 2 Bike Tray Hitch Rack:
This is a great bike carrier. If i was in a hurry, i could easily load and secure a bike in under 20 seconds, but even at a slow pace, it takes less than 40-60 seconds to load and secure.
The cable lock is essentially worthless because it is way to short. I have a 29 inch TREK full suspension and my 8 year old has a 24 inch TREK and i can not get both bikes locked down with cable through the frames. I can get bikes locked via just the wheels, but that is not much of a lock.

Comments about Kuat NV 2 Bike Tray Hitch Rack:
This is a great product. I really enjoy how easy it is to use and how secure it is. The bike stand is an awesome feature that I have already made use of.
I am still having problems figuring out how to lock two bikes with the integrated lock - have to check the instructions again.
Best Uses
Comments about Kuat NV 2 Bike Tray Hitch Rack:
I have this rack mounted on the back of my 2011 Mustang. It attaches to a hidden style hitch I ordered separately online. First of all when the rack is on, it looks great. The finish looks awesome in person. When I take it off my car looks completely stock. One thing to note is that getting the rack in and out of the actual hitch is a little difficult. An extra set of hands really helps.
That is the only difficulty I've had with this rack everything else is perfect! Loading the bikes on only takes seconds. Once on they are completely secure. The anti-rattle device works great! I've tried two other mid-range bike racks before; this one is the only rack I've used that works as promised. Pay the money for this rack; it may seem crazy, but it's worth it. I've had this rack on the interstate and it is rock solid. Peace of mind is worth some extra change. I really can't say enough good things about the quality on this baby.
One little side note is that the clearance between the rack, when it's in the folded up position, and my car, is very snug. You'll probably want to check out the racks dimensions on the manufacturers' site and do a little measuring before you place your order.

MCC staff person carjacked in Haiti
Tim Shenk
April 15, 2008
AKRON, Pa. – Joseph Saingelus, a Haitian staff person of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), was carjacked by armed men on April 8 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, and was later released uninjured.
The carjacking took place during several days of public unrest surrounding demonstrations against high food prices in Port-au-Prince. Saingelus was driving home in an MCC Land Cruiser when armed men seized the vehicle and forced him to lie in the back, according to Charity Coffey, MCC's Haiti representative.
The men used the Land Cruiser to kidnap another woman and rob her before releasing Saingelus with the vehicle, Coffey said. MCC has filed a police report.
Several MCC workers observed the demonstrations in their neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince. Marylynn Steckley, an MCC policy analyst from Waterloo, Ontario, said protesters took to the street in front of her third-floor apartment on April 8 and 9.
Steckley said that some protesters demonstrated peacefully, singing and dancing, while others threw rocks at storefronts and looted shops.
"I think everybody is protesting the cost of food, and some are doing that in a violent way because they're hungry, the food is too expensive, and they feel like they have no other way of communicating with the government or of their voices being heard," Steckley said.
Steckley said she believes Haiti's high food prices are caused by a global rise in food prices and by Haiti's heavy reliance on imported foods. She and her husband Joshua Steckley are working on an MCC-supported project to promote Haitian agriculture.
The project, called Support Local Production, creates and airs advertisements on Haitian radio and TV stations promoting Haitian agricultural products. MCC also supports agricultural development work in rural Haiti.
Steckley said that Haiti's farmers are growing less – and often migrating to the cities – as urban Haitians purchase rice, beans and corn meal from the United States.
"As people migrate to the cities, they can't find jobs, they become frustrated ..." Steckley says. "I definitely think it's a national problem."

Investigation performed at the University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California
This article was chosen to appear electronically on August 8, 2012, in advance of publication in a regularly scheduled issue.
A commentary by Nitin B. Jain, MD, MSPH, is linked to the online version of this article at jbjs.org.
Implant costs associated with total hip replacement and total knee replacement procedures account for a large share of total costs and reimbursements to hospitals. Federal policymakers are promoting episode-of-care payment and other value-based delivery and payment reforms in part to encourage physicians and hospitals to cooperate in managing costs for these and other procedures. The present study quantifies the patient, hospital, and market characteristics associated with variation in implant and total procedure costs for hip and knee arthroplasty.
Clinical, demographic, and economic data were collected on 10,155 unilateral primary total knee replacement procedures and 5013 unilateral primary total hip replacement procedures from sixty-one hospitals in 2008. Variation in implant costs per procedure was measured within and across hospitals. Multivariate statistical analyses were used to measure the association between patient and hospital characteristics and implant costs and total procedure costs.
The average implant cost per case ranged from $1797 to $12,093 for total knee replacement procedures and from $2392 to $12,651 for total hip replacement procedures. For total knee replacement, 2.5% of total variation in device costs was attributable to patient characteristics and 61.0% was attributable to hospital characteristics; the remaining 36.5% of variance was attributable to within-hospital variation not due to patient or hospital characteristics. For total hip replacement, 4.4% of variance was attributed to patient characteristics, 36.1% was attributed to hospital characteristics, and 59.5% was attributed to within-hospital variation not due to patient or hospital characteristics.
There are substantial variations in total hip replacement and total knee replacement implant costs within and across hospitals after controlling for patient diagnoses and comorbidities. This variation is responsible for the majority of variation in the overall cost of total hip and knee replacement surgery.
Economic and decision analysis, Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Histogram showing the percentage of implants purchased from the largest and second-largest device vendors across sixty-one hospitals in 2008.
Table 1 shows the distributions of each of three measures: device cost, total surgical cost, and the ratio of device cost to total surgical cost. This is done for both knee and hip replacement surgery. To compute the distribution of the ratios, we first compute an individual device-cost-to-surgical-cost ratio for each individual procedure and then determine the distributions of these individually computed ratios. For example, in the last row on the Hip Replacement portion of the table, the maximum device cost is $12,651, the maximum surgical cost is $23,051 and the maximum ratio of device cost to surgical cost is 87.24%. The maximum device cost and maximum surgical cost do not refer to the same individual hip replacement procedure and thus the maximum ratio is not calculated as the ratio of the maximum device cost to the maximum surgical cost. The maximum ratio is rather the maximum in the distribution of individually computed ratios. Here, the maximum ratio comes from an individual case where the device cost was $12,209.81 and the total surgical cost was$13,996.18. In this individual case, the device cost is high in the distribution of device costs, but the total surgical cost is only slightly above the median in the distribution of total surgical costs. In other words, each ratio column in the table describes the distribution of the ratios, not the ratios of the distributions. We hope that this explanation helps to clarify the meaning of the ratio columns in the table.
The article I found very interesting. However, when I got to their "TABLE I" I found that the arithmetic did not work out. If you take, as an example the median cost of a knee replacement, as 4857 and calculate it as a percentage of the total surgical cost of 11,660, this gives a percentage of 41.66% and not 43.47%. On some of the other lines the discrepancy is even greater. Is my calculator wrong or is there some other way this should be calculated? I await the authors' response with interest.
