- Forecasting the pulse: How deviations from regular patterns in online data can identify offline phenomena (2013)
- Purpose – The steady increase of data on human behavior collected online holds significant research potential for social scientists. The purpose of this paper is to add a systematic discussion of different online services, their data generating processes, the offline phenomena connected to these data, and by demonstrating, in a proof of concept, a new approach for the detection of extraordinary offline phenomena by the analysis of online data. Design/methodology/approach – To detect traces of extraordinary offline phenomena in online data, the paper determines the normal state of the respective communication environment by measuring the regular dynamics of specific variables in data documenting user behavior online. In its proof of concept, the paper does so by concentrating on the diversity of hashtags used on Twitter during a given time span. The paper then uses the seasonal trend decomposition procedure based on loess (STL) to determine large deviations between the state of the system as forecasted by the model and the empirical data. The paper takes these deviations as indicators for extraordinary events, which led users to deviate from their regular usage patterns. Findings – The paper shows in the proof of concept that this method is able to detect deviations in the data and that these deviations are clearly linked to changes in user behavior triggered by offline events. Originality/value – The paper adds to the literature on the link between online data and offline phenomena. The paper proposes a new theoretical approach to the empirical analysis of online data as indicators of offline phenomena. The paper will be of interest to social scientists and computer scientists working in the field.
- Is GOTV a universally applicable answer for campaigns to the challenge of fragmented audiences? (2012)
- Online Campaigning in Germany: The CDU Online Campaign for the General Election 2009 in Germany (2012)
- The German election year 2009 saw the first attempts by political parties to include Web 2.0 services in their online campaigns. The 2009 election therefore offers the opportunity to examine how political parties outside the USA – where online campaigning has become commonplace – choose to use online tools in their campaigns. This paper examines the online campaign of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) with a special focus on the campaign's use of Web 2.0 services. The different elements of the campaign will be discussed with regard to three basic functions of online campaigning provided by the relevant literature: 1) presence in the online information space; 2) support of the infrastructure of politics; 3) creation of symbols for political support and participation. This paper shows that these functions were all present in the CDU's use of online tools in the campaign of 2009
- Schleppender Beginn : Deutsche Politiker entdecken Twitter nur zögerlich (2013)
- Die Wahlkampf-Kampagne Barack Obamas von 2008 machte Twitter auch in Deutschland bekannt. Aber erst eine Kampagne gegen vermeintliche Internetzensur brachte die Veränderungen durch den Dienst auch hierzulande zum Vorschein: Politik wird zugänglicher und die Kommunikation schneller. Kann die Politik dem folgen?

A subsequent membership fee of $99.99 is then charged to the subscriber's account after 24 hours. This subscription recurs on a monthly basis but other arrangements may be applicable such as 7, 15, 30, 60 or 70 day billing cycles.
Due to the optional nature of this service, this subscription arrangement- its recurring monthly charges and its benefits do not apply to regular website users.
Paying Members may review their benefits, subscription history and billing cycles at any time by visiting the "My Account" page.
You may cancel your account at any time by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Account cancellation will be treated within 48 hours.
Account cancellation is confirmed once issued a unique cancellation number. An email receipt will be sent which will include the cancellation number and related details. This cancellation number must be kept by the former account user for future reference as it serves as a receipt documenting their account cancellation and will be used to track cases in the event of a dispute. Account users should also take measures to check that emails sent from Wippy.com are not blocked or placed into a junk or spam folder to ensure that important information is received.
Membership will continue with appropriate fees until customer requests cancellation. Customers may cancel membership at any time by contacting Wippy customer support at email@example.com. Membership cancellation will be treated within 48 hours.

Each bid placed resets the remaining time on an auction by increments of 15 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes. The increment is dependent on how long the auction has been running or by the type of product. An auction will end if no new bids are placed before the timer reaches zero.
Bids are only placed once they have been entered into Wippy's system as opposed to when they were sent. This usually takes about a second to process. Wippy will not be held responsible for technical errors caused by bid delay. This includes but is not limited to: faulty user equipment, technical errors caused by an ISP and high volumes of internet traffic.
Wippy maintains the right to suspend auctions, revise bidding time of ongoing or future auctions and re-open closed auctions upon suspicions of any misdeeds.
Most auctions feature a Buy it Now option which allows users to purchase a product they are currently bidding on and have not won. Used bids from the auction can be used as a rebate on the 'Buy it Now' price, which is 7% higher than the value of the product. This feature is not available for auctions pertaining to gift cards or bid packages but is available for all other products. Note that the Buy it Now price cannot fall below 0 even if the bid rebate price is higher than the retail price of the product. The user can choose this option from the time the product goes live to 24 hours after the auction has been closed.
If the user opts to use the Buy it Now feature, they will not be permitted to continue bidding on the auction. Any Bid Agents placed on that auction will be canceled, and bids will be returned to the user's account. The auction winner will also not be permitted to use the 'Buy it Now' feature. If the user fails to pay for the product within 24 hours of selecting the Buy it Now option, Wippy reserves the right to withdraw the purchase contract, and the user will not be entitled to a refund on the bids they have placed on that product. Note that when a user elects to use this feature, it will not affect the auction for other users.
Buy it Now is limited to 2 auctions in a period of 30 days.
Users are permitted to bid by means of single bids or the Bid Agent feature. Once a bid has been placed, it is deducted from the user's account and cannot be refunded. Bid Agents permit users to bid on auctions even whilst they are not present. They function as per parameters specified by the user. Users are prohibited from using alternate bidding software and doing so will result in immediate disqualification.
Unused bids will expire after 12 months from the date they were purchased or received.
A user can win 2 auctions in a 14-day rolling period. They will not be able to place bids on new products until this period has passed. Users will not be permitted to continue bidding on products they placed bids on before crossing the 2 auction limit. Bids placed before crossing the 2 auction limit will not be refunded.
Please note that bids bought or received due to special offers and bids won from Wippy auctions will have a value of 0 and will therefore have no effect when using the Buy it Now function.
Bid packages need to be purchased before bidding on products. Upon completion of purchase, bids are directly deposited into the user's account.
Bids and products can be purchased using Visa or Mastercard Credit Cards, Visa or Mastercard Debit Cards, Visa Electron and Maestro. Wippy reserves the right to halt delivery of a product if the user does not complete the payment. Wippy will not accept responsibility for technical problems caused by the supplier of the payment facility.
Once an auction has ended, the winner has 14 days to pay for the product and shipping fee. (Shipping varies depending on the type of auction) If the user fails to do so, they lose their right to buy the product. Wippy will deliver the product within 2 weeks of receiving payment. Products will be sent to the shipping address provided by the user. Wippy.com uses third party shipping providers. Customers can contact email@example.com for tracking numbers.
Unless otherwise mentioned, products come with the manufacturer's warranty.
Wippy does not accept responsibility for potential third party issues that may interfere with your account transactions. Should a transaction problem be suspected, you are compelled to inform Wippy right away.
In the event that Wippy is unable to deliver a product due to the product being out of stock, having a too long delivery time or other reasons Wippy will transfer to the user monetary compensation equivalent to the product retail price.
Purchasing department will contact the customers by any means necessary to inform them of the unavailability of the product. If there's no response from the customer after two months the first notification is sent, Wippy reserves the right to withdraw the won auction from the customer's account.
Due to Wippy's one gift per household policy, users need to confirm their identity by sending the following documents as proof:
All required documents must be submitted to email@example.com within 14 days after payment of a promotional gift offer otherwise the promotional gift offer will be void.
As soon as the documents are approved, the package should arrive at the given shipping address within 2 to 4 weeks.
Wippy grants winners the right to cancel an order within the set cancellation period. This begins from the moment the user completes the payment for the product and ends 30 days after they received the item. However, the user must inform Wippy of their intent to return the item within 14 days after receipt. If the user chooses to return a product, they must send the item back to the sender/courier indicating their username. Email requests for cancellation of item should be sent to email@example.com.
Products which have been used or opened are not eligible for return or refund. Exceptions apply to products which are damaged or not as described. Damaged goods should be reported within 14 days of receipt to firstname.lastname@example.com. The cost of postage for returned products will be incurred by the user, unless goods were faulty upon receipt.
Users are permitted to exchange won products for bids equivalent to the retail value of the product they have won, up to 2 times in a calendar month. Users who opt to receive bids will not be charged the final product price or delivery charges. The value of each bid will be in accordance to the value of bid packages (rounding upward). Thereby products with a retail value of €9.39 or less will receive 1 bid for every €0.94 of the retail value. Products with a retail value of €264,10 and above will receive 1 bid for every €0.53 spent.
All unused bid packages can be refunded up to 30 days after purchase.
To request a refund for bid packages, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Refund requests will be treated within 48 hours. Please allow up to 5 business days for the refund to reflect on your account.
Refund requests for items won via Promotional Auctions and other special offers must be made within 30 days after payment to be honored. Additionally, for a refund request of this nature, any associated membership fees must be settled and membership benefits for the first subscription month must not be used.
All customers who send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com will automatically receive reference numbers. This number confirms that the email has been received and will be attended to by our support staff. Please note that Wippy is not liable for unattended requests from customers who have lost their reference numbers.
Occasionally there may be service disruptions that are beyond Wippy's control. In such cases, ongoing auctions will be temporarily suspended and the highest bid will remain as before. Auctions will resume once technical errors have been resolved. Wippy reserves the right to change the date or time of an auction's close should unplanned disruptions occur. Users bidding on temporarily suspended auctions will not be entitled to a refund for bids.

Martin and Andrea Mueller's roomy modern house just outside the town is one of the best located places to stay in the area.
Situated up the hill from Schull, it commands fine countryside and sea views, and there's plenty of space for guests to sit around and relax - both indoors, in a pleasant and comfortably furnished sitting room and outdoors, on a terrace overlooking the lovely garden towards the islands of Roaring Water Bay.
Although fairly compact, the bedrooms are comfortable with good amenities.
The house computer is available for guests' internet access; unusually, there's also a gym, a hot tub, a barbecue area - and a putting green.

The life of a Pokemon is not a good one: they wander aimlessly in the grass, the desert, and the sea, attacking literally anything that comes by. Inevitably, they will be brutally beaten and captured by a trainer, who will keep them in a tiny ball or trapped in some PC ("Bill's PC", or "Whatever PC" in later vesions). Then, if they're lucky enough to escape their Tron-esque digital nightmare world, they will occasionally be trotted out to battle other Pokemon where they will be burnt, frozen, paralyzed, poisoned, and a million other horrible things all so some loser trainer can win some badges. But, even among Pokemon, some are far more miserable than the others. They actually have lives that are significantly worse. Here are the 10 most miserable creatures in Pokemon.
10. Igglybuff
"It has a soft and bouncy body. Once it starts bouncing, it becomes impossible to stop." (Pokemon Diamond)
Igglybuff looks like the happiest, most joy-filled Pokemon creature ever. And it very well might be! For the precious few moments of its life when it's still, that is. Because the second it bounces, that's it it bounces forever. It's entire life is constant, perpetual motion in total defiance of Newton's laws that is wholly unstoppable, like some terrible amusement park ride that never ends. Plus, its name is Igglybuff and it's a weaker version of Jigglypuff. It doesn't get much worse than that.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Placer County is looking for volunteers to serve on planning teams being organized to help the county update its long-range community plan for North Lake Tahoe.
Four planning teams with seven to nine members each are being established to help the county develop a zoning ordinance and design guidelines for each of four planning areas to be included in the updated community plan:
"We are looking for community members with diverse backgrounds and interests to help shape the character of their communities," said 5th District Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery. "I strongly encourage people to apply, because this is an opportunity that comes along only every 20 years."
Supervisor Montgomery represents North Lake Tahoe on the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
Generally, the county will give priority in selecting planning team members to applicants who have active Tahoe Basin businesses located in Placer County or are registered to vote and have their primary residences in Tahoe Basin communities within Placer County.
However, Placer County strongly encourages people who own second homes in Tahoe Basin communities within Placer County to apply if they are interested in serving on planning teams. Their applications will be considered if openings remain after applications from business owners and year-round residents are reviewed.
Planning team members must be willing to donate a minimum of 8 to 10 hours bi-monthly. Only two absences from planning team meetings will be allowed in a six-month period.

Placer County currently has nine community plans for the Tahoe Basin. Most are joint planning documents developed about 20 years ago by the county and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA).
TRPA is in the process of updating its regional plan, and all community plans within the Tahoe Basin must be consistent with the regional plan.
Through its update process, Placer County intends to consolidate the nine plans into a single policy document with the four planning areas. Each planning area will have its own distinct zoning ordinance and community-specific design guideline standards.
The county's update process involves three agencies: the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, Placer County Redevelopment Agency and TRPA.
Application forms are available online to be downloaded or filled out and submitted electronically. To apply for a position on one of the four teams, click on the following link: Tahoe Basin Community Plan Update Team, and choose of of the four team options.
People who choose not to submit applications electronically can mail them to the Planning Services Division, 3091 County Center Drive, Suite 140, Auburn, CA 95603.

Michael Jackson plays the protagonist, Jean Valjean, a man who escapes prison to only be chased by his parole officer for the rest of his life. After reading the book and obtaining the role, Jackson started to explore the pitfalls in today's society. He felt especially connected to the musical's message.
"'Les Mis's message still applies today," Jackson said. "You see everything that is wrong with society in the play. People want to make a change, a difference."
Regina Powers agrees. A veteran of the Las Vegas illusionist scene, she portrays Madame Thenadier, the inn keeper's wife.
"You see that despite the bad, there is plenty of good," Powers said. "You feel feelings and strong emotions, watching the performance and see how someone can blossom into a strong and brave human being. It's thrilling and extremely entertaining."
What makes this performance of "Les Miserable" different is that it's set in today's world. The actors wear clothes one would find at Legend's instead of the traditional 19th century garb most productions don.
"Victor Hugo ("Les Miserables" author) once said, as long as there's poverty, there will be 'Les Mis,'" said Lili Baran, the musical's director and the executive director of the Tahoe Players. "We wanted people to watch and connect it with the events going on today, today's wars and hate and violence."
Baran's grandmother formed Tahoe Players in 1989, creating a space where out-of-work musicians could network and job search. These musicians started finding work in the playhouses, expanding the focus and allowing artists of all crafts to participate in Tahoe Players.
The performance also features footage of past protests and riots, giving an authenticity to the viewer's experience.
"We're shedding light that nothing has changed," said Baran. "There is still a great divide between the classes."
"The actors sound wonderful," said Beth Macmillian, the executive director of Artown. "They've sung at some of the previous events and the crowd loved them. The Nugget has been a great partner and the showroom is absolutely beautiful."
"Come out and support the local arts," encouraged Powers.
Performances of "Les Miserables" run Thursday (7/25) through Saturday (7/27) at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m in the Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga's Nugget. Tickets are $25 per person.
For more information about "Les Miserables" and Artown, visit renoisartown.com or call the Artown office at 322-1538. For more information about Tahoe Players and their future performances, visittahoeplayers.com.

A Chair for the American Family
In 1951, Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl brought Danish Modernism to forefront of American consciousness. He did so with his interior for the "Good Design" Exhibition in Chicago, as well his design for the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN headquarters in New York, which he completed the following year. However, Juhl's sculptural forms, praised as the height of modern design, were not only placed on display in prominent American arenas but were also integrated into American homes, bringing European design to the average American consumer.

Claire Munley '11
Women in Progress, Cape Coast, Ghana
Philip J. Cuthbertson '78 BPIP Internship Fund
My Experience:
As the Business intern for Women In Progress I was in charge of running a fair trade certification program, designing a new line for production, and holding computer and book keeping training.
What is the most interesting or important thing you took from your Internship this summer?
Learning about the culture of Ghana was the most important thing that I have learned this summer. It was very interesting working so closely with the women there are learning from them what was important in their culture and the differences between Ghana and the United States. The experience of living in this country and facing day to day challenges of being in a completely different setting than ever before was such an experience that challenged and pushed me, but also one that I took so much away from.
How did the BPIP Fund help make your experience possible?
BPIP helped me offset some of the expenses of airfare and of living in Ghana for the summer.
Why would you recommend the BPIP Fund?
This scholarship provides an opportunity to do an internship that otherwise might not have been possible. In addition, the support that came from BPIP made it easier and made me evaluate/reflect on my experience more than I otherwise would have.
Other comments:
My summer provided me with an unparallel chance to truly emerge myself into another culture. This opportunity allowed me to apply by knowledge to help Ghanaian women create and further their micro-enterprises, while learning more than I could have ever expected from them. This internship has further my interest in non-profit work in West Africa.

My phone is asking me every 30 seconds to upgrade. It won't install, because I believe that the CWM recovery is preventing it. I do not have an alternate recovery in CWM, so no luck there. I am running stock, rooted, installed with the Wug tool.
Do I just unroot with the Wug tool or is there a better (easier!) solution?
Any suggestions?

Illustrated lecture by Professor Adrian Vickers, Director, Australian Centre for Asian Art and Archaeology, The University of Sydney.

The talk explores the development of art in early twentieth-century Bali. Evidence of artistic originality begins with the transformation of classical Balinese art in the nineteenth century when Balinese painters became interested in modernism and modernity.

This history is examined through Balinese paintings collected by Western artists and scholars in the early twentieth century.
Adrian Vickers is Professor of Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Sydney, where he is Program Director for Asian Studies, and Director of the Australian Centre for Asian Art and Archaeology. His books include Bali: A Paradise Created (Penguin, 1989), Journeys of Desire (KITLV, 2005), and A History of Modern Indonesia (Cambridge, 2005).

Angel Food Ministries founder Joe Wingo, his wife Linda and their son Andy were sentenced as a result of their guilty pleas in a federal fraud case involving the former nonprofit.
Joe Wingo received a 7-year prison sentence Thursday, the Athens Banner-Herald Reported. Wingo's wife, Linda received five years' probation. Andy Wingo, the couple's son, received a 7-year-sentence.
Read more about the sentencing at the Banner-Herald's website.
Reported previously:
Joe and Linda Wingo, the husband-and-wife founders of the food nonprofit Angel Food Ministries, and their son Andy have pleaded guilty to federal charges, according to court records (scroll down for documents).
In December 2011, a Georgia grand jury indicted the three (and an employee of AFM) on fraud and other charges related to their operation of AFM. The nonprofit bought food, packaged it in boxes and sold it at a discount through distribution sites — including several in York County at one point — thus helping families stretch their budgets in tough economic times.
But a York Daily Record/Sunday News investigation, reported by Melissa Nann Burke and published in January 2009, revealed that the founding family was drawing millions in salary and making loans to themselves via Angel Food Ministries.
On Feb. 11, agents from the FBI and from IRS' criminal services division searched AFM's Monroe, Ga. headquarters. The next day, Joe and Linda Wingo met in York with representatives of local AFM distribution sites to answer questions about the nonprofit's finances.
AFM went out of business in the fall of 2011.
Court records indicate that this week:
One thing the AFM case does is put the focus on whether charities and nonprofits are doing the things they say they're going to do when you give them money. Here are some resources for researching charities.
From Mark Scolforo of The Associated Press:
HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has endorsed wide authority for state courts to determine whether government records should be released publicly, a decision the chief justice warned would make requests more costly and add delays.
The court ruled 4-2 Tuesday in the matter of a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter who had sought information about federal grant money spent by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
The case involves the role of the Office of Open Records, an agency created when the Right-to-Know Law was overhauled five years ago. The majority said appeals of the office's decisions that are taken to Commonwealth Court would not be confined to the existing record but can be supplemented.
"Now they can still count on that, or they can say no, thanks, we're going to start this process over and have the parties give us everything," said Office of Open Records director Terry Mutchler, whose agency was a party to the case. "The question in plain-speak terms is, 'Is the Office of Open Records a warm-up or is it a real game?'"
Mutchler's office has handled 7,000 cases, and about 500 have ended up in court.
The majority opinion by Justice Seamus McCaffery said there were several reasons to give Commonwealth Court — and county common pleas judges, where they are involved — the ability to gather more information. To do otherwise would give too much authority to appeals officers who aren't necessarily required to hold hearings, take evidence or issue written decisions.
Chief Justice Ronald Castille, in a dissent, said he couldn't recall another law that produced "so much litigation involving seemingly overlooked foundational matters," and chided the Legislature for not putting more thought into the appeals process.
Castille said lawmakers should revise and refine the Right-to-Know Law, a process that has already begun. If that does not happen, he said, and the Office of Open Records does not adopt a review process that protects legal rights, he might favor simply reversing all of the decisions that come to the court from the office.

The idea that government agencies should put all records online — eliminating the need for storing paper records and theoretically making it easier for citizens to see the records — seems like a no-brainer. But this Sunlight Foundation post does a good job of acknowledging and delving into the main reason — money — that could make going online tough for an agency to do.

Ummad Rushdi, 30, of Windsor Township, York County is charged with kidnapping and related charges in connection with the disappearance of 7-month-old Hamza Ali.
The U.S. director of national intelligence declassified and released three documents that explain more about the federal government's collection of phone call and other data in its effort to find and stop terrorist plots.
Two of them are letters to members of Congress at times when the law allowing the "bulk data" was up for reauthorization. The letters are the director's case as to why the programs are vital to national security. The third is a court order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as to how the NSA and FBI are to handle the data collected.
The cover letters include some interesting things, such as:
"Technical compliance issues" and "human implementation errors" are admitted in the letters, but they don't indicate what the result of those mistakes were — one might ask, were private conversations collected, viewed and/or stored somewhere? — and that section is heavily redacted in 2011 letter.
And there's this breaking news today from the Guardian: "NSA tool collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet'" From the story:
A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
So the struggle for to seize the narrative of this ongoing story continues: The director of national intelligence tells us what he told Congress in explaining why the programs are good and must continue, while reports continue to come out about just how much power intelligence agencies have developed to peer into our lives.

Neighborhoods: Brooklyn Heights
Wonderful Food and Environment! – My family and I went to this restaurant for Fathers Day. Seven adults 2 toddlers and a baby. They set up our table right at the front of the restaurant which was great. We were out of the way of other people and it gave us liberty with the kids. The food is EXCEPTIONAL, my dad husband and brother inlaw loved the food. The service is top notch everyone from the bus boy to our waiter were great and very accomodating. The only thing was that they did not have a changing table in the bathroom for our two month old but we managed just fine.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. Its a great place to go for dinner. A little bit on the pricy side but it's worth it. The food is fresh and very very tasty.
Our family loved it will definitely go back.
an oasis – the moment the array of breads arrive at your table is when you realize that this place is not as it appears....it is definitely not ordinary. For those of you who place importance on ambience, I strongly suggest that you allow the element of surprise to take over... the passion is confined to the kitchen.. .the excellent flavors and quality of the food is even more enhanced by the visual beauty of the untradional, and skillful plating...the result being a two fold work of art.....the service was wonderful..the staff was polite, attentive and pleasant..the prices apprapo........it was a joyful experience and an unforgettable dinner....definitely worth the trip from jersey
Best Italian – The Vitiello brothers are the best chefs in NY. The wonderful seasonal and regional Italian food is always memorable and beautifully presented. You find yourself swept away to a lovely Italian village , eating authentic cuisine. The wait staff is always welcoming and attentive. A wonderful wine cellar always has something special to offer. Aside from the homemade pastas, wonderful home baked breads, delectable desserts and the best house made mozzarella in the city, you can also find old fashioned family favorites. Do yourself a favor and try one of the many varied special menu items. You won't be disappointed. It is a true marvel that they keep coming up with something different. There are so many choices you will want to try them all, which is why I have been coming here for more than 30 years. You will want to come back again and again. I promise that you will be in for a rare treat. Buon Appetito.
Great Italian in Brooklyn – Queen is an authentic, old-school Italian where the kitchen takes pride in everything they do. From the homemade bread and pasta to the main courses and then to the homemade desserts, you can see the care that goes into every dish. Portions are generous, and you'd be missing a real treat if you skip the fresh mozzarella, their signature dish. My wife and I usually order from the daily specials menu, and we also like the linguine with white clam sauce and the shrimp fra diavolo. The dining room might be somewhat plain, but when it's filled with the happy buzz of diners thoroughly enjoying themselves, it takes on a real charm. Do yourself a favor, have dinner at Queen and make up your own mind.
Comfort, thy name is Queen. – Queen may well be the one of the best Italian restaurants in Brooklyn and, possibly, the entire City. With its ample portions of delicious food, including a wonderful breadbasket and a respectable wine list, Queen is the kind of place you want to visit with a group of hungry friends who like to share.
While not much to look at from the outside, it has a pleasant, tasteful interior with soothing lighting, comfortable sound levels and decent spacing between tables. The wait staff is from the old school. Which is to say that they perform with quite professionalism and never confuse good service with the number of times they intrusively ask: "How is everything?" They have sense about the allrightness of things at at all times and if something isn't allright -- they make so. A true gem!
Best Italian Food EVER! – I have been going to Queen before I can remember. My aunt has an apartment in Brooklyn Heights and whenever I came up to NY to visit her, she always took me to Queen. It has become my favorite Italian restaurant of all time. From the beginning, the food is great. Who can refuse Queen's famous bread basket?? The appetizers, such as the fritturo misto, baked clams oreganata and the fresh mozzerella, are delicious and made to perfection. The main dishes are just as expertly arranged to immpecable quality! The chicken scappriola (sp?), the scallops, the cheese ravioli, the chicken parm (just to name a few) - ALL WONDERFUL AND SATISFYING! I'm drooling just thinking about all of it. Even if you as a customer seem sceptical about going to Queen, you should definitely give it a chance!
Most over rated - over priced Italian – If you live in NYC and have been thinking about making the trip to Brooklyn for this place save your $2.00 Metro card its not worth it. This type of place is a dime a dozen in the city and it would be a hell of a lot less expensive and better. I dont understand why this place gets good reviews for food it was so average and yet way overpriced. I mean based on there location there rent must be about half the price of a NYC restuant but yet a pasta dish starts at around $18. SAVE your time and money.
Mediocre – Many people seem to think highly of this restaurant, and maybe I just haven't eaten the right things, but I have been disappointed every time. I don't think that the food is all that traditionally Italian to begin with, and many of the seasonings used are combined together quite oddly. I have had dishes poorly cooked on more than one occasion. The wait staff is only mildly polite and all seem to be very sour. I've given up on Queen.
GREAT food, polite service, nice atmosphere – The first nice dinner I've had in Brooklyn. I am here for a year and plan to eat my way through Brooklyn Heights during my visit. Nice polite service, adult atmosphere, and perhaps the best Italian food I've had since I came back from Italy. Wonderful flavors, well-presented. Good wine list. Small tables, designed for couples?
The Best Italian in Brooklyn – It doesn't matter if you order in or eat at the restaurant - the food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. This is pure, old school Italian food that is so worth every penny. The decor is nothing great to speak of, but who cares - the food is top notch. If you are looking for service and all the frills $$$ - Il Mulino is the best for both - if you are looking for a fabulous dinner in/out - this restaurant is it! I must admit, I am very spoiled by Queen -I get a FABULOUS dinner once a week - delivered to my door, piping hot and absolutely delicious!!! Queen, you are my Italian Gem in Brooklyn!

Slice of Cherry
Kit and Fancy Cordelle are sisters of the best kind: best friends, best confidantes, and best accomplices. The daughters of the infamous Bonesaw Killer, Kit and Fancy are used to feeling like outsiders, and that's just the way they like it. But in Portero, where the weird and wild run rampant, the Cordelle sisters are hardly the oddest or most dangerous creatures around.
It's no surprise when Kit and Fancy start to give in to their deepest desire—the desire to kill. What starts as a fascination with slicing open and stitching up quickly spirals into a gratifying murder spree. Of course, the sisters aren't killing just anyone, only the people who truly deserve it. But the girls have learned from the mistakes of their father, and know that a shred of evidence could get them caught. So when Fancy stumbles upon a mysterious and invisible doorway to another world, she opens a door to endless possibilities….

Read an Excerpt
Fancy only allowed three people in the whole world to get close to her: Daddy, who was on death row; Madda, who was working the graveyard shift; and Kit, who was dead to the world in the bed next to hers. And so when she awoke to find a prowler hanging over her, violating her personal space, her first instinct was to jab her dream-diary pencil into his eye.
But even in the dark of night with a stranger in her room, Fancy wasn't one to behave rashly. Daddy had been rash, and now he was going to be killed. No, Fancy would be calm and think of a nonlethal way to teach the prowler why it was important not... see more

Here I sit, my first time logging in to GS since the new site went live, not feeling the love for this site. The change..... wow, Not sure I have any reason to come back again :(
Gen_Warbuff Blog
This blog has no point
I have no idea why I'm writing this blog, I guess it's because I feel so removed from GS, and gaming in general. Don't get me wrong, I still play games, but only a few, and only for short periods of time, in fact, I have seen my weekely RAPTR report go from playing hours in the 20hr range (or more) to now on average less than 4hrs a week. I know we all go through periods of time like this, but man, this one is feeling more and more permanent, like I have never felt before.
My interest in gaming in general is just... gone, sometimes I feel I play just because it's habit. I have two games on pre-order, for the 360. BF4 and GTA V, if those don't keep me interested I doubt I will be getting either of the new systems.
Gamespot..... I come back because of Pavlov's Law, over the years I conditioned myself to check in to GS every day, now I just sit and stare at it, waiting for something interesting to happen.
Other hobbies.... feels like I can't read enough these days, my Kindle is what gets most of my attention now, sometimes TV, but pftpftpftpft, I hate 99.9% of the crap out there.
Saw two pretty crappy movies recently, Pacific Rim (which I know most of you LOVED) and World War Z. WWZ, man, I know there was really no way for them to translate the book, but ugh... it did nothing for me. Maybe if the do part II it will incorporate things/interviews from the book.
Has anybody ever read Enders Game? That is next on my list after I finish The Passage, by Justin Cronin, which so far is a very interesting vampire story.
That's all I got righ now.
I learned something about myself this weekend.
I need more than just great CGI in movies for me to enjoy them. Pacific Rim, thanks for pointing that out. Now, can I have my 2 hrs back please?
Screw E3, I have real news.
Lets talk books
Not sure if anybody ever picked up Into The Black, I finished that two book series and am looking forward to the third when ever it is released. SO, I moved on to Wool , winner of the 2012 Kindle Indi Book Of The Year. To say I blasted through this would be a understatement. Then, last week I picked up the second book Shift , I think I read it even faster than Wool.
Wool: Omnibus addition is actually Wool 1-5 combined into one book. Shift Omnibus is Shift 1-3 in one book. The third and final book Dust, no idea of a release date. I can not say enough how much I have enjoyed these books.
Now, as I wait for two "final" books, I used Amazon's feature of "if you bought this, you would like....." and ended up with Extinction Point , this book starts of very fast and throws you right into it. Very short read, about 300 pages. I'm 25% in (started last night) and so far so good. Only reason why I did not read more last night was because I just could not keep my eyes open any longer after a long week so far.
As my desire to game has almost completely fallen apart, I find that I am reading more and more, almost can't get enough of it, I fogot just how much I LOVE it! What books can you all reccomend? I'm open to pretty much anything, but tend to stick to mostly fiction.
Oh, and if I remember correctly, someone here, maybe JohnS knew someone who put a book out last year... something about a watch? Anybody know of this, it was someone from GS.
Some other books I also recently read..
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
The Hobbit
John Carter
TarzanThe Sex Lives of Cannibals: Adrift in the Equatorial Pacific

In gaming,
After my huge game purge, I did pick up two titles, one is Kerbal Space Program (on steam), fun, HARD, different kind of game. Also, Stacey and I have taken our first dive into MMO's with Defiance. So far, so good.

Another one bites the dust
Stacey was gone this weekend, that can only mean one thing, another building bites the dust.
Hi, I'm a bored gamer.
I have come to a horrible conclusion about me being a gamer, I am a bored gamer. There, I said it, I pretty much have no interest in gaming at the moment.I mean, I have plenty of good games in my collection, Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider, BF3, SimCity (ya, I said SimCity is a good game) MLB The Show 13.... but I have this extremely heavy feeling of "been there, done that" with all of them.
I'm sitting here kicking around the feelings that, maybe I am done with gaming, maybe I need to move on to a new hobby, maybe I just need to walk away for a bit? I have a stronger desire to fill my mouth with Jalapeno peppers, than to play anything out on the market rigiht now. I really only play online with one person, even though I have about 40 on my friends list, and I know it's because I have no common interest in any of the games those friends are playing.
I also think some of it has to do with the amount of time I spend here on GS, I am coming up on my 8th year here, have seen it go through many changes, and have participated on many levels. In my opinion, this place has turned into a puddle of hate. Gamers aren't happy with anything, GS can't do anything right, and every day it's the same ole- same ole....
The one forum I hang at, is dominated by Brits, with the time difference there is a lot of slow time there, and they talk funny so I have been spending less and less time there as well. AND, one of the members is female, so obviously she knows nothing about gamers so who am I supposed to talk with?
What is a gamer to do? Should I trade in my systems and just wait until the next gen has to offer? Should I keep them and just hope something comes along to spark my intereset again? Or do I just throw my arms up in the air and scream "WHY MEEEEEEEEE! WHY!!!!!!!!"
OH... almost forgot. Yesterday I saw this awesome vehicle on the road near my house.
