About Daughtry
Daughtry strips down for "Baptized" (Updated 1/23/14)
Daughtry's "Break the Spell" in 2011 became the band's first album not to go platinum … which might explain why they were "Waiting for Superman" in late 2013.
As it stands, "Superman" was the lead single from Daughtry's fourth album, "Baptized." The project included a long list of contributors, as Daughtry tweeted the band had been working with the likes of Martin Johnson of Boys Like Girls, Rock Mafia, and even Ali Tamposi and The Monsters and the Strangerz. It was all said to be part of the band's attempt to develop a lighter and brighter sound, but the album bowed in November to very mixed reviews.
Though Newsday gave the album a grade of B-, the Boston Globe was a little more critical of the "overload of corny lyrics" and thought the band was trying to channel Train or LIfehouse. The New York Times also couldn't find room to offer much praise, saying Daughtry felt limited with the new stripped-down music.
Daughtry has been touring non-stop since January 2007, and even now is no different. The Baptized World Tour is in full swing, with the band scheduling its first UK dates since 2010. The trek will see them perform four shows culminating at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on March 26. Along for the ride will be longtime bandmates Josh Paul (bass), Brian Craddock (guitar), Josh Steely (guitar), Robin Diaz (drums) and new addition Elvio Fernandes (keyboard).
Behind only Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry remains the third-biggest selling "American Idol" alumnus around the world.
About Daughtry
Daughtry is led by Chris Daughtry who, like Adam Lambert, is another American Idol finalist who has made it big in the music world even though he was not the show's winner. The band's self-titled debut released in 2006 sold more than four million copies and was Billboard's number one selling album of 2007. Hit song "It's Not Over†was the eighth most-played song across every radio format in 2007. Daughtry's second album Leave This Town was released in 2009 with Daughtry commenting that the album had more of a rock sound to it. The album debuted at number one and sold 269,000 copies in its first week. You can find tickets to all Daughtry shows here on SeatGeek.

Wadded Paper is not Chicken
Posted by JBuffalo1 on 01/06/2006
OLEAN, NEW YORK -- A few months ago I was eating at the Applebees in Olean, NY. I had the crispy orange chicken (which is my favorite). However, when I tried to cut one of the chicken pieces it was really tough. I finally got it apart and noticed that it was not, in fact, chicken rather a wadded piece of paper with orange chicken sauce and breading on it. We called the waitress over to complain. She claimed that it was not the individual location's fault as the chicken came prebreaded. She offered to comp my beverage.
I didn't lose my appetite or anything but it would have been nice of them to, perhaps, not charge me for at least the percentage of the meal that was comprised of paper rather than chicken and the percentage that I didn't eat due to the shocking realization that I was eating what very well could have been someone's used napkin.

You mean you actually sat there and finished your meal after that?! I wouldn't have paid for the meal and and left. Just like I did when I was served undercooked buffalo wings.

No big deal...eating paper with your meals saves you from having to use toilet paper later. (Oh geeez...I've been talking with EJack for too long).
Posted by NeveragainAmazon on 2006-01-06:
That napkin could also have been used by the cook to blow his/her nose. The thought is sure disgusting!
Posted by Ms.Consumer on 2006-01-06:
Call for the manager next time. Id tell him that I ate a little bit of that cooked napkin before realizing what it was and now feel a little sick. I'd also ask for a plastic bag to take the "evidence" with me. Wouldn't pay one penny for that meal.
Posted by miketech on 2006-01-07:
They breaded a piece of paper and cooked it for you? Yeah I would have got a doggy bag and speed dialed my attourney. I bet paper chicken is worth 10 grand and it ought to be. Kinda makes one warry to think you could be eating anything.
Posted by guchiedad on 2006-01-07:
your attorney is on speed dial? That's the problem with this country. People are so ready to sue at the drop of a hat for any little thing. If he was harmed by the breaded paper, then maybe. I agree it was wrong, but to sue because you put some paper in your mouth? Please...
Posted by miketech on 2006-01-07:
I've never sued anyone for anything. I have him on speed dial because I do computer work for him and he's a friend. But I can assure you if I got breaded paper served as chicken I'd use the speed dial for the sole purpose of legal consultation.

Incompetent kitchen help is at fault here, call their corporate office and inform them about it.
Posted by guchiedad on 2006-01-07:
miketech, sorry for jumping down your throat. It's just a knee-jerk reaction of mine when I hear the word attorney.
Posted by tander on 2006-01-07:
Debtor that was a good one..lol
Posted by miketech on 2006-01-08:
Quchiedad I understand I have 4 friends that are attourneys, other than that I hate the lot of them. Seems like the cool ones are really cool and fun and the jeck ones are really jerks. Whatever persona the take they take it way over the top. And don't even get me started on the court system.
Posted by RVRBOATKNG on 2006-01-09:
Pirate:Maybe you didn't notice but the customer was told that the chicken was prebreaded, not made that way by the cook. Sounds like something went wrong at the production plant. It probably comes frozen.I'm sure the cook wouldn't have any
reason to check each piece before it was cooked. If the restaurant had a good manager he/she should at the least discount the meal. Hopefully the free drink was at least a strong cocktail.
Posted by miketech on 2006-01-17:
I dunno if I were the manager it would be free meals and a few comps I'm sure. If someone finds paper instead of chicken thats bad, but if a child ate it and choked to death. The family would own you.
Posted by Make a Difference on 2006-08-10:
Your ENTIRE meal should have been on Applebee's! When places screw up that bad- they should have the brains to make you happy. Trust me...a former Applebee's customer.
Posted by appleho on 2006-09-12:
ok, i've worked for applebee's for nearly 10 years, and i gotta reiterate what the first server said...we don't bread the chicken there. it happened at the plant where they process the boneless wings. (because that's the same chicken we use in the crispy orange chicken bowl. i do think they should've bought the woman's meal, however. in my store we would've. we buy your food if someone looks sideways at you there.
Posted by shnauzercrazy on 2006-10-31:
just so you know...in NJ applebees is just as terrible!! i refuse to eat there...their food is always disgusting, the service is always slow, bad and crappy....and i cannot believe that after showing the waitress what you found...she only offered to comp a stupid beverage-OMG! I wouldve said uh no honey-get the manager bc i am not paying for this meal...end of story!! ext time you ever have something happen like that....go above the waiters/waitress head and say something bc that is just not kool.

Bad Food
Posted by DebbieD on 08/26/2007
CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA -- My daughter and I stopped at an Applebee's in CresTView, FL for lunch on our way across country. We thought a familiar brand of restaurant would have good food. We were sadly mistaken. I ordered the Tasty Trios, a recent addition to their menu. The mini hamburgers were featured in the menu as small and juicy and fitting exactly on a mini-bun. When they came out they were flat and dried out. They were crispy like they had been cooked and then reheated. The bun was from a normal size hamburger and dwarfed the hamburger patty. Terrible! The dip that was part of this was barely warm and hard. Terrible taste and texture. The only thing edible was the cheese sticks. I paid $10.99 for basically cheese sticks. I expected so much better. My daughter had a Portabello Chicken Sandwich which was also just barely warm. Mushrooms were overcooked as if they had been standing for a long time. Very bland and not tasty. Her onion soup was also barely warm.
Our bill came to $28.57 and it was a complete waste of money. We will NEVER EAT AT AN APPLEBEE'S AGAIN.

I hope you spoke to the manager of the store or even told the waiter that the food was rather disappointing.

Trumania, that would make way too much sense. Be reasonable.

Yes, did you speak to the manager about this and what did he/she say?
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-26:
Why do people accept, consume and pay for food that's not prepared properly? And then complain afterwards? Say something politely to the wait staff about the food. If it still doesn't come out right then ask for the manager.
Posted by Crown Jules on 2007-08-28:
I agree with everyone else so far. If the food isn't good for whatever reason, while you're sitting at your table is the time to politely bring it up to the server and try to resolve the problem. Coming to an Internet message board does nothing but allow you to let off some steam and if that steam is worth $28.57, more power to you.
I also don't understand people who have a bad experience at a chain or franchise restaurant or any other business and then declare they WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! So for one bad experience you're going to punish everyone else at every other outlet of that company? That's just silly.

I know with some people a first impression always lasts, but there are many, many more Applebee's restaurants over the states and I am sure they're not all the same. Some places just have more lazy cooks/servers who don't give a crap about their job.
Posted by ibanez_bw on 2008-03-16:
There's one very real problem with complaining multiple times to your wait staff: they could, and do, mess with your food. I worked food service for about a year and once one of my co-workers got so frustrated with a customer that he dropped the pizza dough in the trash and picked it up and finished making the pizza. I don't agree with what he did, but I realize he's not the only one doing it. If you send your steak back three times there's a pretty good chance it's going to come back with something more than barbeque sauce.

We used to enjoy Applebee's but lately the food has been getting progressively worse. No matter whether we are in Phoenix or Minneapolis the foods we used to enjoy have changed and become totally in edible!

Excellent Service
Posted by Old fart on 09/06/2010
My wife phoned in an order for two fish dinners from Applebees.
The wait time was promised at ten minutes.
The driving time to the restaurant was 10 minutes.
When my wife arrived to pick it up the food was waiting at the curb, hot and ready!
I am impressed!

Must have been an interesting sight.....a bag or two of styrofoam containers sitting by themselves on the curb. :) Good on Applebee's.
Posted by raven2010 on 2010-09-06:
We use this service at work a few times a month. The order is always ready on time and always perfect, including silverware and napkins.
We always tip, since they have to haul it out to the curb for us.

Posted by ok4now on 2010-09-08:
You were impressed because they had it ready in 10 minutes. Here's the real question. What was the food quality for a fish dinner prepared in only 10 minutes?? Was it properly cooked? Do you really trust Applebees (a burger joint) to deliver a quality seafood product? I have visited four different Applebees in the Philly area and they all suck. Horrible food, dirty bathrooms and really bad management. I refuse to return this establishment. When I want a 10 minute dinner I'll order a Pizza.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-09-08:
Applebees is not a burger joint. They have all kinds of different foods there. And a bar
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-09-08:
Not all chain restaurants are equal. In some areas they suck, in others they are good. His was good and he has given them a compliment. And, by the way, I have never had a really good pizza that was made in 10 minutes. Did you know that you can cook fish rather quickly? In fact, if it is overcooked, it is dry and tasteless.

Never Go To This Place ! ! !
Posted by Dlmvegas on 12/31/2013
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- On December 17, 2013 I returned from a trip to San Jose for medical purposes. My daughter and 2 grandsons picked me up at the airport. On the way home I asked if they wanted to grab something to eat. We talked about several places and decided the best would be Applebee's near our homes. I was reluctant because of previous bad incidents that we've had at this place.
I figured I could find something to eat there. We went in and ordered. Our food was brought out and we began eating around 6:00pm. I had a chicken breast dish with onions, mushrooms and a sauce. In addition, there were loaded mash potatoes and vegetables. I began eating and suddenly bit down on something that sent a pain to my gum and teeth on the left side of my upper mouth. I stopped chewing and tried to retrieve whatever it was. I pulled out what appeared to be a piece of bacon. Immediately after that I tried to finish chewing what was left only to find that my four tooth bridge had broken off. I pulled that out of my mouth. There was blood on it and showed it to my daughter. She said my mouth was also bleeding a little. I wiped off the bridge and placed it in a napkin.
Eventually the waitress came back and I told her there was a problem and showed her my bridge that I had wrapped up. She went to get the manager. My daughter and I were talking about what happened and I gently nibbled on the object I had pulled out of my mouth. It was a piece of bacon. It was also as hard as a rock. The manager came to the table and we spoke about the incident. She was going to take down my name and phone number and said she was going to tear up our check due to the problem.
Our desert arrived. It was a molten lava cake and was soft. After about 2 bites I was chewing with my front teeth and felt something in my mouth once again. I pulled out what appeared to be a piece of plastic wrapper from the desert. The waitress walked by and I told her to give this to the manager as well.
The manager returned to again apologize. There is no excuse for this as far as I'm concerned. This review will be going all over the internet and I will be contacting the Health Department in Las Vegas as well. If you value your life never go into Applebee's at 820 E. Warm Springs Road in Las Vegas.

Applebees is pretty much universally a place to avoid. What happened with the bacon could have happened at many places though. I had a nail in a pasta dish at Red Robin once from the crate of tomatoes. Chain restaurants can predictably deliver lousy experiences a high percentage of the time. I try to avoid them, because when I say "I am going to try that place again" I usually get burned. My .02
Posted by nikalseyn on 2014-01-01:
By all means file a complaint with your local health dept. They need to do a check of the place sooner, rather than later. Careless employees is the cause of both your problems that night.

Nasty and Cold Food
Posted by 1380 on 06/03/2009
I went to Applebees for dinner one night. I ordered my food and it almost took a hour to get my food. Finally the waitress came to the table to deliver our food and it was nasty and cold. I mean cold. Thanks for the wonderful, great service.

100% Insider Truth
Posted by Secretive ToGo Girl. on 09/12/2008
ALL OVER CENTRAL TEXAS -- All That I am about to disclose,is 100% Truth,I worked for an Applebees in Central Texas.I Quit because,that job is disgusting.Here you go..
1.)They eat off of your plates/togo orders. Be that as it may,I can guarantee that we are not the only restaurant that does to it BUT,it's still gross.
2.)They sip out of your drinks,Hey! At least we all use a straw.
3.)They touch everything with completely ungloved hands. And we don't wash them really at times that we should (i.e: taking used and dirty dishes back to the dish area)
4.They don't refrigerate meat they use they keep it out until someone orders it.
STORIES:While in training,I was putting together a ToGo order,and the lady didn't want and sour cream in her mashed potatoes,So I asked the girl who was training me,"What Should I do About The Sour Cream?",she advised I just "Scrape it off.." with my fingers of course.I thought she was kidding....Until she did it.
A Manager and I were talking in the "Expo" are of the kitchen,as we were doing this a huge glob of spit flew from her mouth,onto our lovely "Mexi-Ranch" dip,to which she responded by giggling and saying "I Spit",as she continued on with her disgusting existence.
I was in the "Expo" area of the restaurant again one day when I noticed a friggin' roach crawling by the sauces,i scream "Holy s*it that's nasty,its a roach!",..but of course I was the only one who found in bad. All they kitchen/service crew had to say was "Dammit,thats Pedro sometimes the likes to come out"
A spoon was dirty when I was following a server,she thought she give it a good ol' wipe off with HER THUMB to clean it. Yeah,I'm sure that was effective.
I honestly could go on,but why,I think I got my point across. That job sucks,the restaurant is SICK,and they have a HORRIBLE training program. And don't get me wrong I used to LOVE the food there....UNTIL I started working there. and No I'm irate EX employee,I'm someone who thinks that you guys should know this.
PS:I didn't have a health card/food servers card the entire time I was there. Enjoy Ladies and Gentlemen.

Recently fired? I believe the OP might be describing the conditions in only one restaurant. I've visited a number of Applebee's and have observed no such conditions. Although I have complained of flatware that was not clean.

Secretive GoGo Squirrel, thanks for your riveting 60 minutes style 'expose'. Which one of their competitors do you work for?
Posted by old fart on 2008-09-13:
I have inspected thousands of restaurants, some Appleby's.
Some were good, and some were horrendous..
I don't have much doubt that the poster actually saw these conditions.
Pedro probably had a thousand or so siblings and the reason He was out in the open is because his brothers and sisters forced him out into the open because of overcrowding...
I used to love to use a can of pyrethrin flushing aerosol and see the deluge of critters scramble out of the cracks and crevices..
The folks in the business referred to the phenomena as a "rainer"... as in 'it's raining roaches"..
Generally Mc Donald's were the cleanest of the lot and Burger kings were the worst however all chain restaurants had their problems because they were too busy pumping out food to take time to correct the problems until it became intolerable.
Most of the business's that required intensive treatment called us as a result of a health department threat to lock the doors..
Enjoy your meal...!

Many years ago I worked in the cafeteria of a manufacturing company. It received all kinds of awards for cleanliness. After working there for a while, I refused to go out to eat. If people knew what goes on behind the scenes they would be very upset. Now I realize almost all restaurants have their faults, and I eat out about twice a week. Haven't gotten sick yet.
Posted by DigitalCommando on 2008-09-13:
Yeah Old Fart, I was being sarcastic, and I know this stuff happens at almost every restaurant. I was at a chinese restaurant in Hawaii and I looked into the kitchen and saw an old man cutting up a chicken on the concrete floor! I guess the old saying what you don't know can't hurt you applies every time we 'risk' eating out.
Posted by old fart on 2008-09-13:
Digital... I know this sounds like a racial slur but chinese restaurants are the WORST!
I have never seen a chinese restaurant WITHOUT a roach and mouse infestation...
I was known in my company as the king of chinese restaurants having sold pest control service to hundreds of them..
I still eat at chinese restaurants knowing that, with the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and the fact is that a stir fried roach is probably a healthy little snack..
Posted by old fart on 2008-09-13:
I usually eat chinese foods that are made with white sauces because it's easier to separate and identify insect parts from ingredients..
Posted by Nohandle on 2008-09-13:
1. A friend owned a local company that placed juke boxes, game machines and the like in local restaurants and bars. They continually received calls from a high end restaurant that the juke box needed replacing since it was a piece of junk. After learning they discovered rats had eaten the wiring out and played havoc in the kitchen, I refused to eat there anymore.
2. An employee's husband worked for a local trucking firm. He made a delivery at the back door of a restaurant. You don't want to know what he saw. And yes, that one just happened to be a Chinese restaurant.
Hear enough stories and you will decide to eat at home. A Health Department can do just so much. Too many restaurants and only a few to do the inspecting. I think in certain areas it takes several visits to shut a place down.
Posted by DigitalCommando on 2008-09-13:
Chinese restaurants are absolutely the worst when it comes to cleanliness. There is nothing racial about that. They will leave food out at room temperature for hours and days and reuse food that should have been thrown away. Maybe we should design restaurants so that you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the dining room.
Posted by old fart on 2008-09-13:
Digital... if they did that most people would end up eating at home for the rest of their lives..
Think about it though.. A restaurant uses sanitizer in their dish sinks. Do you?
Posted by DigitalCommando on 2008-09-13:
No OF, I go one better than that. I purchased a used particle beam accelerator from Los Alamos and I bombard my dishes with particle beams. The fact that I have caused all of my neighbors within a 3 block radius to become sterile in no way impacts my quest for a clean plate.

I used to work for a big pizza place in Chicago called Father and Son Pizza. I think they're still around. Same kind of thing happened there.
Instead of placing the pizzas in the ovens, they would try to flip them in from several feet away to save time. If the pizza landed on the floor, which happened quite often, they'd just pick 'em right up and throw 'em in the oven.

No service - seated but never waited on
Posted by Dianaclifford7 on 03/30/2014
MISSOULA, MONTANTA -- Took my family to lunch - it was my daughters birthday. Were seated at 2:00 pm at the Missoula MT location. At 2:22 we still had not had anyone approach our table to offer water or anything at all. We eventually got up and left - went to another restaurant and they got the c-note that day. The restaurant was not busy - about 30 empty tables and no one waiting yet two people were cleaning a table right next to us and two were standing by the kitchen area chit chatting as we left. Was a real disappointment and won't be going back there again - especially since it was her birthday.
In addition - my daughter attempted to speak to someone on the way out who simply walked away from here. What an odd place.

Almost the exact same thing happened to my friend and me a few months back. It was a Monday evening, only a few other people in the restaurant. After literally 30 minutes we got up and left when not one person even approached us or talked to us. We called and talked to a manager who offered to wait on us himself, but didn't seem very concerned at all. We went somewhere else and haven't been back since.

2-$25 Ribs, Extremly Small Portion 3 Ribs(small End)
Posted by Dalejr_dalesr on 03/02/2014
BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN -- Had two dinners at 2-$25. Their menu shows a very large portion of ribs. We got 3 small end bones with very little meat. Also ordered shrimp. The portion was very good, however, the shrimp had been cooked ahead, then French fried again, and were over done.The salad was good and plentiful.
I sent an email to the restaurant telling of my experience, thinking I would hear from a representative . However they must not care, no one called or sent a letter of apology.

Found Nasty Unidentified Object in the Penne Pasta at Applebee's.
Posted by Bikeonex-xx on 02/18/2014
ROANOKE, VIRGINIA -- Found an unidentified nasty object in the 3 cheese penne pasta at Applebee's on Challenger Ave in Roanoke, VA . I instantly got the dry heaves and feeling of nausea. I also felt a numbness around my mouth and a metallic taste in my mouth. It was a "to go" meal(I live about 5 minutes away) so I took the meal back to Applebees and spoke to the manager, he took the meal away and said they would have it analyzed to find out what it was. Of course, this never happened and I got a call from nationwide insurance(their insurance company) and said nothing in the meal could have caused my distress. I asked the lady if they had the object analyzed and she didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I asked her how she knew what did NOT cause my sickness since she knew nothing about what had happened. She had no answer. Typical Insurance company.
Needless to say, that was my last trip to any Applebee's and will not go there again.

Poor Customer Service
Posted by Lakeenyasimon on 01/02/2014
FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- I was dissatisfied with the service my children and I received at Applebee's. We were seated immediately which was a plus but when we were seated we were rushed to order. After about 10 minutes we were ready to order because we was rushed. The waiter came to the table three times asking were we ready to order with the 10 minutes. While ordering our food he wasn't writing the order down and because of that mistake the order wasn't taken correctly. When our food was brought to us not once did the waiter come back to the table to refill our drinks or even bring the check for me to pay. I would have been a little satisfied if the waiter was somewhere to be found to refill our drinks or to make sure the order was correct. After eating we sat around for about 30 minutes waiting for the waiter to return to the table with the check. After watching other waiters pass I finally had to stop another waiter that was serving other customers to bring me my check. As a customer of Applebee's I am truly disappointed at the customer service my waiter provided.

Lenovo Enters Worldwide Consumer PC Market with New "Idea" Brand
Indonesia, January 9, 2008
– Lenovo today announced its entry into the global consumer PC market with the launch of a new line of notebook and desktop PCs. Lenovo's new consumer-oriented IdeaPad notebooks and IdeaCentre desktops complement Lenovo's business-oriented ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops. The new PCs will be initially offered in multiple countries including the U.S., France, Russia, South Africa, India, Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, China, the Philippines and Singapore.
Two IdeaPad notebook PCs - the IdeaPad Y510 and U110 - will be sold in Indonesia. The notebooks, powered by Intel® Centrino® processor technology, combine cutting-edge and easy-to-use technologies such as facial recognition and Dolby Home Theatre surround sound. They also make a bold design statement with frameless screens, touch-sensitive control surfaces and unique textures. The IdeaCentre desktops – the IdeaCentre K200 and Q200 - include consumer-friendly features such as data recovery with one key, facial recognition and antibacterial keyboards.
According to IDC, the worldwide consumer PC market is expected to grow by an average of nearly 10 percent annually through 2011.1 In 2007, Lenovo created a new consumer business unit to address the consumer market, which represents over 40 percent of all PCs sold
"Our ThinkPad notebooks are well-known around the world as the best engineered computer for business -- for quality, reliability and thoughtful design," said Sandy Lumy, Country Manager, Lenovo Indonesia. "We're now bringing Lenovo's expertise in design and engineering to consumers with our Idea-branded PCs. We are confident we will grow our consumer business by blending innovative technologies like facial recognition with stylish designs to enhance the way people use technology in their personal lives."
Lenovo also announced its new "Ideas" marketing campaign to introduce consumers worldwide to the latest PCs and the company. Using the new campaign, Lenovo will illustrate the power of individual ideas and how the Idea brand of PCs helps people to capture and transform those ideas.

Designed for customers looking for a versatile, all-in-one notebook, the 15.4-inch widescreen IdeaPad Y510 notebook PC has a black and light weave texture, linen-like top cover.

It comes equipped with Intel® Centrino® processor technology, integrated graphics, WLAN connectivity, five speakers including a subwoofer, an integrated camera, battery life indicator and a DVD-RW optical drive.
The IdeaPad U110, an ultraportable 11-inch widescreen notebook PC, weighs only 2.4 pounds and is 0.7 inches deep. The textured design embedded in its red or black aluminum alloy top cover blends style and durability. Ideal for highly mobile users, the powerful notebook provides extensive computing time with an additional battery and the performance of optional solid state flash drives. Lenovo also equipped selected configurations with its Active Protection System, an air-bag like device that parks the hard drive to help protect data during a fall.
"We are pleased that Lenovo has selected Intel as its global processor provider, helping to provide consumers worldwide innovative and inspiring new notebooks in sleek new form factors," said Erik Reid, marketing director, Intel Mobile Platforms Group.
The IdeaCentre Q200 and K200 desktops position the PC as the center of home technology. Lenovo makes computing hassle-free with VeriFace and wireless control for the keyboard, mouse and peripherals on the IdeaCentre Q200 tower desktop. The IdeaCentre K200 desktop's eyesight protection feature makes computing easy and fun for all types of users. The desktops include One Key Recovery for data recovery and an antibacterial keyboard. They also are equipped with choices of the latest Intel Core2Duo and Quad Core processors, respectively, and optional integrated or discrete graphics.
Select configurations will be offered at various retailers. Recommended pricing for the IdeaPad Y510 starts at USD 1,619. Pricing for the K200 and Q200 start at USD 583 and USD 1,048 respectively.

9 Reasons You Should Eat Pie for Breakfast
In a season when there's too much good produce for our arms to carry, when our refrigerators and counters and all available places in our kitchens are overflowing with plums and cherries and peaches and berries, why does pie -- pie, with its endless variations, its willingness to be filled with anything delicious -- need to be relegated to dessert? Here are 8 reasons to have pie for breakfast. (Not like you really needed any.)
Perfect Coconut Cream Pie by em-i-lis
You put coconut in your granola, right? Same thing.
It's like fruit salad. On top of an olive oil-almond crust.
It's like putting cream in your coffee. But instead of coffee, it's pie.
Lazy Mary's Lemon Tart by dymnyno
The only thing better than throwing an entire lemon into the blender is eating that lemon in tart form. For breakfast.
Martha Stewart's Slab Pie by Genius Recipes
It's basically a granola bar.
Maple Walnut Cream Tart by cheese1227
It looks just like Greek yogurt!
This can double as lunch, if there are any leftovers.
Almonds = protein.
Peach Tart by amanda
Really. How can you say no to this?

How am I so late in seeing this great article? Thanks so much, Brette, for for it and for featuring my Coconut Cream Pie. It absolutely makes for an amazing dessert, as do Amanda's plum and peach tarts. And the others? Well, they're all on my to-make list now! Fantastic!
As a random aside but in additional homage to the love o' pie, when my husband and I got married nearly ten years ago, he vetoed groom's cake and instead requested a table of groom's pies. All nine were gone within minutes! :)

I posted about your coconut cream pie recently myself. It is perfection em-i-lis, thank you. Particularly loved the tip on making sweetened coconut - that's usually the thing that stops me from making coconut cream pie. Now there's no end to things I think should be topped with toasted coconut, lol.

I can't thank you enough for your lovely note, AMF1. I am absolutely thrilled you liked the pie, and I agree with you about toasted coconut. I put it in my almond joy ice cream too! aaaaah! :)

He's a pretty good UU lead, and one of the few Electric-types that can do some damage to Ground-type Pokemon (thanks to Psychic). His movepool is on the small side and he's not going to take hits well, but nonetheless a good option for your UU team. In OU however, there are better special attackers around.
Use Thunderbolt for STAB, and Thunder Wave because paralysis is always a plus. Psychic is good for those half Poison-types that hover around in UU, and Seismic Toss is nice for a consistent 100 damage. Electabuzz can't do that much, so be grateful.
Other Options
Body Slam is good against Ground-types for paralysis, and Submission is super effective against Normal-types. Electabuzz also gets Reflect and Light Screen, which might prove useful.
Checks and Counters
Exeggutor, Chansey, Golem, Rhydon, Sandslash, and Alakazam are all OU counters. Exeggutor and Chansey will shake off anything that Electabuzz throws at them. Golem, Rhydon, and Sandslash are all immune to its Electric-type attacks, but don't want to switch into a Special fall Psychic. Alakazam doesn't want to be paralyzed, but if it has the chance to kill Electabuzz (~40%), it should take that opportunity. In UU, Dugtrio and Marowak destroy it if you can't score a Psychic on the switch-in. Electabuzz is generally useless when paralyzed, and doesn't take physical hits well at all.

Toledo >Housing Rental > Jamestown of Toledo
3215 Milstead Dr, Toledo, OH | Directions 4360641.680203 -83.610587
Neighborhoods: Westgate
DON'T MOVE IN! – This place absolutely sucks!!! Don't get sucked in by the looks or the hot air that the apartment manager will attempt to blow up your back side. Moved into a townhouse and its horrid! My neighbors are horrid - they have a fire pit in their patio where every weekend flames typically reach the top of the fence. Which btw that illegal so says the lease but nothing gets done. There is a leak in the roof that they have known about for probably months now that is still not fixed. And I have water leaking into my front bedroom. No apologizes from the apartment manager, no discounts off of rent for having to catch the water that leaks thru the roof. When I called the apartment manager to find out when the roof would be fixed she acted like a 5 year old getting all defensive and hung up on me. REAL PROFESSIONAL!
So do yourself a favor and find someplace else to live!! This place is horrid and I would not recommend this place to a homeless person!
Disapointment – We almost moved in. I spoke with lady from their office like a month in advance. We agreed on everything. When time came - we found that they not only lost our papers and check, but they found that they can?t hold apartment for more than 10 days. It was May-June and they had many available units. They just didn?t want to spend little more time with customer. I like their 2b/1 b floor Manchester plan, but this is the only thing I like. They don?t have w/d in unit. There is laundry room, but it's pretty far. Playground has two swings and one 10 feet slide (how toddler supposes to use it?). And I waited for a week to get call back. Should I know they waste my time - I?d called somewhere else! They listed everywhere, but it does not mean them excellent!

Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the belief that the body can heal itself. It uses natural substances, which are specially prepared, to stimulate the body towards homeostasis, or balance. Homeopathic medicines always have something called a potency after the name (e.g., 6X or 30C), which tells how many times the remedy has been potentized. The letter signifies the rate of dilution (e.g., X = 1 in 10 dilution, C = 1 in 100 dilution). In homeopathy, the greater the rate of dilution, the higher the potency.

The Queen James 'Gay' Bible
The Story: A new revision of the King James Bible---dubbed the the Queen James Bible---edits out all references to homosexuality in order to provide a Bible translation "edited to prevent homophobic misinterpretation of God's Word."
The Background: The unnamed editors of the revision say they chose to use and retitle the King James Version to the Queen James Version because of the "obvious gay link to King James, known amongst friends and courtiers as 'Queen James' because of his many gay lovers."
The website for the "big, fabulous Bible" claims that homosexuality was first mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version:
There is no mention of or reference to homosexuality in any Bible prior to this---only interpretations have been made. Anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin; Eight verses in a book of thousands!
Ironically, the site explains that they didn't completely remove the offending verses because, "Revelation says not to 'edit the book,' and people often extend that to mean the entire Bible, not just the book of Revelation." The editors then go on to say, "We edited the Bible to prevent homophobic interpretations. We made changes to eight verses."
An example of one of their edits is Romans 1:27. Here is the verse in the KJV:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And here is the new QJV translation:
Men with men working that which is pagan and unseemly. For this cause God gave the idolators up unto vile affections, receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
What It Means: In 1807 an English physician named Thomas Bowdler published The Family Shakspeare (sic), an edition of Shakespeare's works edited to remove some of the more objectionable content and phrases. Bowdler's work was designed to provide a more "appropriate" version of the classic texts for 19th-century women and children. In the preface to his work Bowdler announced his desire to make Shakespeare accessible "without incurring the danger of falling unawares among words and expressions which are of such a nature as to raise a blush on the cheek of modesty." His name later became a verb, bowdlerize, and synonymous with expurgation of literature.
How times have changed. In our politically correct age, texts are bowlderized not because they contain works and expressions "which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family" but rather because they offend the sensibilities of those who wish to engage in and apologize for immoral behavior.
What will we see next in this line of bowlderized bibles? Will we soon see a Emma Bovary Version that scrubs all references to adultery? A New Lucifer Translation that removes any references to pride? A Gordon Gekko Study Bible that teaches "greed is good?"
Perhaps instead of trying to justify one's sinful behavior, the editors of the QJV should have spent more time reflecting on Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 4:1-2:
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

S.League Mid-term Report: Top marks
In the final part of our mid-season review, we take a look at the Great Eastern-YEO's S.League sides that have impressed us the most so far.
S.League Mid-term Report: Steady away
S.League Mid-term Report: Must improve
With half the season gone, the Bruneian outfit are currently top of the table but those who watched them closely the last time they plied their trade in Singapore's top flight will hardly be surprised.
Vjeran Simunic's charges have good players all over the park but have been extremely lethal up front with Shahrazen Said, Basiru Osman and Rodrigo Gral forming a potent attack. The trio are regularly fed with a constant supply of chances by midfield schemers Ivan Jerkovic and Azwan Saleh, while captain Rosmin Kamis plays his role of anchorman to perfection.
At the back, getting past man mountain Tales Dos Santos is a real task for even the competition's best strikers, although first-choice custodian Wardun Yussof hasn't had the most consistent of campaigns so far.
Mid-term Player of the Season: Shahrazen Said
The initial sight of the diminutive forward may not strike fear in the heart of opposition defenders, but you can be sure they'll be sweating profusely everything Shahrazen receives the ball inside the box.
The 26-year-old just seems to know where the goals are, but is also capable of carving out opportunities for his team-mates.
ESPNSTAR.com's Mid-term Grade: 9/10
Home United
The fact that Home are just five points behind DPMM is testament to the quality of the players currently at coach Lee Lim-saeng's disposal, because in all fairness, they haven't exactly been at their best so far.
Yet, they managed to reach the AFC Cup Round of 16 and remain the only side to have beaten DPMM - first in the league and then in the RHB Singapore Cup.
In Frederic Mendy, the Protectors have arguably the most dangerous striker in the league, while Shotaro Ihata and Qiu Li are more than capable of finding the back of the net. Lee deserves credit for having reinvented Firdaus Idros as a tenacious, ball-winning midfielder, while Jeremy Chiang as improved tremendously since a forgettable debut in the Great Eastern Charity Shield.
Mid-term Player of the Season: Shi Jiayi
Given Home have had their fair share of injuries this season, the importance of captain Shi has really been highlighted as he has filled in seamlessly in a multitude of positions.
Regardless of where he's deployed, the Singapore international never fails to give 100% and has added real steel to his technically-proficient style of play.
What they said
"We are in second place now and I'm hoping we'll be able to catch up with DPMM FC. We've only finished half the season; there are still a lot of points up for grabs, although I think any of the top seven teams still have a chance." - Home United coach Lee Lim-saeng
"It would be better if we were first, but I'm still happy that we're second at the halfway stage. I'll be happy if I finish the season as the top scorer but it's still to early to say; we still have 12 more games to play. But I want to score goals to help the team, not for myself." - Home United striker Frederic Mendy
ESPNSTAR.com's Mid-term Grade: 8/10
Harimau Muda
The fourth-placed Young Tigers are currently on track to meeting coach Ong Kim Swee's pre-season target of a top-five finish, but it is the manner in which they have done so that has impressive many so far this term.
At times playing with absolutely no fear despite coming up against vastly more-experienced opponents, Harimau have stayed true to playing attractive, attacking football and they have reaped its dividends.
While Ong has had to chop and change his side several times so far due to injuries and international call-ups, the players that have come in have never failed to do their job and already, it looks as if the likes of Fadhli Shas, Affize Faisal and Gary Robbat are destined for great things.
Mid-term Player of the Season: Wan Zack Haikal
Whenever the chips have been stacked against the Malaysians this season, they have always been able to call upon Wan Zack to conjure a moment of brilliance.
The Malaysia international is an absolute nightmare for full-backs with his pace and skill and is capable of singlehandedly winning a game for his side, as he did in the 2-1 win over SAFFC.
What they said
"We remain on track to achieving our pre-season target of a top-five finish. As expected, the teams we lost to were the more-experienced sides in the league - it shows experience plays a vital part. Nonetheless, we can only learn from these defeats and the boys will be more mature in the second round." - Ong Kim Swee, Harimau Muda coach
ESPNSTAR.com's Mid-term Grade: 8.5/10
Balestier Khalsa
Once in awhile, a team comes along and causes a real shock and while we admittedly did tip the Tigers to be near the foot of the table at the start of the season, it has been a pleasant surprise to see them now challenging for the title.
A couple of poor results recently means it will take a huge effort if they are to finish top come season end, but it takes nothing away from the stunning progress Balestier have made under Australian coach Darren Stewart.
From mid-table mediocrity at best, the Toa Payoh Stadium outfit are now regarded by many as one of the competition's top sides and while they don't possess the most-illustrious of names, the fact that every player knows his role and performs it to perfection has been the reason why they are currently 6th at the halfway mark of the campaign.
Mid-term Player of the Season: Park Kang-jin
While Paul Cunningham and Goran Subara, Balestier's twin towers at the back, and midfielders Tengku Mushadad and Ruhaizad Ismail all have had impressive seasons so far, the brightest spark has come from Park, who has to be one of the most underrated players in the league.
The South Korean has the poise and technique of a creative playmaker, but also possesses the determination and tactical awareness of a seasoned anchorman. Add to that his tremendous work rate and stamina, and you get one of the most complete midfielders around.
What they said
"I'm very happy with the first round so far. We're only a couple of points off second and if we can have the same results in the second round, we'll be well pleased with the year." - Balestier Khalsa coach Darren Stewart
"Overall, the first half of the season has been good. After we beat Kelantan at their home ground [in pre-season] and did well in the first few games in the S.League, we wanted to finish in the top three or four and that remains our target." - Balester Khalsa defender Jaslee Hatta

Prints & Drawings - 7 of 9
Jean-Antoine Watteau
French, 1684-1721
Studies of a Flutist and Two Women
c. 1717
Red, black, and white chalks on buff paper
26.7 x 23 cm
Acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, 1935
Watteau's trois-crayon drawings (drawings executed in red, black, and white chalks) provide an extraordinary glimpse into the working methods of one of the most esteemed painters of the early eighteenth century. The sheet of Studies of a Flutist and Two Women is somewhat unusual, as it appears to date from a single sitting but depicts two different models wearing the same costume. The attire of the flutist is a sixteenth-century type and resembles costumes worn by members of the Comédie italienne.

Resources for educators developed by the University of Wisconsin MRSEC. (high school level)
Northwestern University's module-based educational materials are hands-on, inquiry and design-based units for middle and high school students. Based on materials science and nanotechnology principles, this interdisciplinary approach engages students, adds relevance to traditional curriculum, and has been shown to improve science knowledge for all students.
A wide range of materials from the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). NNIN provides lesson plans, resources for camps and classrooms, and teacher professional development opportunities.
Resources for middle and high school science teachers including hands-on activities and labs, an online course for teacher development and videos.These resources provide the opportunity to enrich classrooms with cutting edge developments in the field of nanotechnology.
Students will discover how many millions of signals their bodies give off every day, and how scientists are using those signals to build a new form of nano-medicine called "lab-on-a-chip" that could be used in the near future to diagnose and detect illnesses in patients before symptoms ever appear. Students will even get the chance to use their very own "lab-on-a-chip" to test and diagnose a patient and experience how useful this tiny technology will be in the future.
Duration: 60 minutes
Requirements: Requires a room with a sink and a whiteboard.
This is a framework for a school field trip of students aged 8 - 11 years. Students learn about nanoscale science and engineering through hands-on activities. The framework is intended to be delivered in a one hour session.
In this activity, students learn what composite materials are and why they are used in many industries. Students put these ideas to work as they design and create their own bricks. After the bricks are made, students employ a variety of mechanical tests to evaluate their bricks.
In this classroom activity, students learn about organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). During the activity students make OLEDs, learn how OLEDs work, and discover what devices currently use OLEDs. Students also learn about spin coating since a spin coater is used to create the OLEDs.
This hour long classroom program introduces nano science and nanotechnology as a leading, cutting edge science with an emphasis on nano in nature, health, energy and the environment. The class includes a PowerPoint presentation, three minute video, nine self-guided activities set up as "stations" around the classroom along with a concluding, teacher facilitated class discussion. This program was created for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's (OMSI) Outreach Unit. It has been designed for 4th – 8th graders and travels to elementary and middle schools in seven states around the Pacific Northwest.
This activity is designed for high school students. In this experiment students use UV light to transfer a pattern (either a network of very small metal wires or self-drawn patterns) onto a surface-- a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board. The board is coated with a copper film that is covered with a light-reactive polymer (photo-resist). The polymer is exposed to UV light through the mask to make a pattern in the polymer. The metal under the exposed polymer is then chemically etched, leaving only the pattern on the surface of the board as determined by the mask. This top-down approach to nanotechnology is commonly used in manufacturing circuit boards for computers and other electronics.

Planned Parenthood Commends Senate Appropriations Committee for Defending Womens Reproductive Rights in Foreign-Ops Spending Bill
Planned Parenthood commends the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Affairs, and Related Programs — and in particular, chairman Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) — for drafting a spending proposal that defends women's access to essential reproductive health care.
The funding measure contains a provision that would amend the Peace Corps' total ban on abortion care by providing access to abortion services to volunteers who have been sexually assaulted, and in cases of incest or life endangerment. This FY12 provision was included in the State and Foreign Operations funding measure approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday evening. Planned Parenthood opposes the current Peace Corps policy, which denies all coverage for abortion care services, even in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the mother is endangered.
"As a former Peace Corps volunteer, I am heartened by this small step forward in rectifying the Peace Corps' discriminatory policies against female volunteers," said Latanya Mapp Frett, vice president – Global, Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "The women of the Peace Corps put themselves at increased risk of sexual assault in service to their country. It is high time the U.S. recognizes the reproductive rights of its volunteers by providing them with comprehensive medical care in such critical moments."
In addition, the measure would include a modest increase in U.S. spending for family planning — from $615 to $700 million. The additional funding would help make up for the disproportionate cuts the program faced this fiscal year.
The Senate Appropriations Committee also passed an amendment authored by Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) that would permanently repeal the global gag rule. The gag rule, sometimes referred to as the Mexico City Policy, was first introduced by President Reagan and most recently rescinded by President Obama. When in place, it prohibited foreign family planning agencies from receiving U.S. funding if they provide, counsel, refer, or lobby for abortion services, even with their own funding.
Senator Lautenberg's amendment to repeal the gag rule mirrors language in the Global Democracy Promotion Act recently introduced in both the House and the Senate. The Global Democracy Promotion Act would prohibit U.S. policymakers from attaching restrictions to foreign assistance that bar recipients of U.S. funding from carrying out activities that are legal both in their countries and the U.S.
