Crazy Wisdom
Sunday, April 1 at 2:30 p.m. (FINAL SCREENING)
Film screening will be hosted by Chögyam Trungpa student
Tickets: $13.00/11.70 for Rubin members
Buying tickets in advance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Crazy Wisdom, 2010, USA & Canada, Johanna Demetrakas, 89 min.
Allen Ginsberg made him his guru. Joni Mitchell wrote a song about him. It was 1970 and he was the first Tibetan lama most Americans had ever seen. Yet he openly drank, and bedded his students. Was this how an enlightened teacher should behave? Crazy Wisdom tells the story of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche the brilliant "bad boy of Buddhism" with exclusive never-before-seen archival material and commentary from Ram Dass, Pema Chödrön and others of his circle.
"Being in his presence was like being suddenly aware of an oncoming truck: it put every cell in your brain SMACK! into the present moment. And in that moment you could be outraged, moved to tears or intellectually inspired... or all at once." - filmmaker Johanna Demetrakas
Buddhism permeates popular culture worldwide - we speak casually of good parking karma, Samsara is a perfume, and Nirvana is a rock band. A recent survey by Germany's Der Spiegel revealed that Germans like the Dalai Lama more than their native-born Pope Benedict XVI; the biggest Buddhist monastery outside of Asia is in France, and Tibetan Buddhism is doubling its numbers faster than any other religion in Australia and the U.S.A. How did this happen?
Crazy Wisdom explores this through the story of Chögyam Trungpa, the brilliant "bad boy of Buddhism," who was pivotal in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Trungpa shattered our preconceived notions about how an enlightened teacher should behave. Born in Tibet, recognized as an exceptional reincarnate lama and trained in the rigorous monastic tradition, Trungpa fled his homeland during the Chinese Communist invasion. In Britain, realizing a cultural gap prevented his students from any deep understanding of Buddhism, he renounced his vows, eloped with a sixteen year-old, and lived as a westerner. In the U.S., he openly drank alcohol and had intimate relations with students. Was this crazy wisdom?
Trungpa landed in the U.S. in 1970 and legend has it that he said to his students: "Take me to your poets." He drew a following of the country's prominent avant-garde artists, spiritual teachers, and intellectuals - including R.D. Laing, John Cage, Ram Dass, and Pema Chodron. Poet Allen Ginsberg considered Trungpa his guru; Catholic priest Thomas Merton wanted to write a book with him; music icon Joni Mitchell wrote a song about him. Trungpa became renowned for translating ancient Buddhist concepts into language and ideas that Westerners could understand. Humor was always a part of his teaching - "Enlightenment is better than Disneyland," he quipped, and he warned of the dangers of the "Western spiritual supermarket."
Trungpa's work contributed to a radical cultural shift that brought Tibetan Buddhism to hungry Western audiences, disillusioned with the violence and materialism in their own world. How did Americans, dedicated to the relentless pursuit of success, come to embrace the philosophy of a teacher who taught them to meditate for hours at a time without expecting anything in return?
Initially judged harshly by the Tibetan establishment, Trungpa's teachings are now recognized by western philosophers and spiritual leaders, including the Dalai Lama, as authentic and profound. Today, twenty years after his death, Trungpa's books have been translated into thirty-one languages and sell worldwide in millions. His organization thrives in thirty countries and five continents. Yet Trungpa's name still evokes admiration and outrage. What made him tick, and just what is crazy wisdom anyway?
Director Johanna Demetrakas uses archival footage, animation, interviews, and original imagery to build a film that mirrors Trungpa's challenging energy and invites viewers to go beyond fixed ideas about our teachers and leaders.
With unprecedented access to Trungpa's inner circle and exclusive never-before-seen archival material, Crazy Wisdom looks at the man and the myths about him, and attempts to set the record straight.
Presented in association with New York Shambhala Meditation Center. An Alive Mind release (alivemindcinema.com/crazywsidom).

Once again, Notch checks in with his winners. Maybe his tips will help you with some tough decisions on your Saturday ticket.
Ottawa at Boston 1:00 PM EST
Ottawa leads the season series 4 games to 2. Three of the Sens victories have come by only one goal though. Ottawa is 17-23 (a loss is a loss) since the start of 2008. Ottawa has played a lot of hockey lately and this will be their 6th game in the last 9 days. This will be the Bruins league leading 9th Saturday afternoon game. A win by Boston moves them within 2 points of Ottawa with a game in hand plus another head-to-head matchup.
Ottawa – V+
Dallas at Los Angeles 4:00 PM EST
Dallas is losing the season series 4 games to 3 and has lost all three games in Los Angeles this year. Excluding Brad Richards' 5 point debut and subsequent Stars victory, Dallas has only won once in their last 9 games. Los Angeles has won 3 of their last 4 games and are riding the great play of Swedish netminder Erik Ersberg. Ersberg has some good numbers this year – 5-3-3, 1.97 GAA and a .942 SV%. He has also beaten Dallas once this year as well. This will be the 3rd game in 4 nights for Los Angeles
Dallas – V+
Montreal at Toronto
The season series in split at 3 games apiece. A Montreal win coupled with an Ottawa loss would give Montreal the Northeast Division title. They will be watching the Sens play at 1:00 PM today. Halak may start in net for Montreal. Once again Toronto will play an opponent who had to play the previous night, while they sat home and rested. This will be the 10th time that has happened this year – no other team has had that luxury more than 7 times. Surprisingly though, Toronto is only 3-6 in those previous 9 games, and have been outscored by the opposition 28-26.
Toronto in a shootout – T
Philadelphia at NY Islanders
Philly has dominated the Islanders this year winning 6 of 7 with the last three victories all coming by convincing 4-1 scores. Philly has points in 13 of their last 16 games and Marty Biron is looking to win his 7 consecutive start against Long Island. While Philly is hot – the Islanders are cold only winning 2 of their last 10. On the bright side, Wade Dubielewicz hasn't faced the Flyers this season, but is 2-0-0 with a tie and a 1.82 GAA in three all-time meetings.
Philadelphia – V+
Washington at Florida
Washington always struggles against Florida. This year the Capitals have lost 4 of 6 but since the start of the 2005-06 season the Caps are 3-7-1 at BankAtlantic Center in Florida. Quite simply, both teams can't afford to lose. A loss by Washington and they stay 4 points back of Carolina and the Southeast Division title with only three games to play. A loss by Florida eliminates them from playoff contention.
Washington – V
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Each team has won 3 games against each other this year and this is the 1st game of a home and home to conclude the season series. Carolina is coming off an easy 7-1 win over Atlanta last night. With the travel and things coming to easy against Atlanta last night – watch out for a Hurricane let-down tonight. Tampa Bay is being led by Ouellet and Halpern as of late and not Vinny or Marty. Lecavalier does has 11 points in 6 games against Carolina this year so look for a big game from him.
Tampa Bay – H
Chicago at St. Louis
Wouldn't it be nice to see both of these teams in the playoffs once again. In 2 years, both these teams will be competing for the Stanley Cup. Chicago is 4-3-0 in the season series, but has lost two of three meetings in St. Louis this year. St. Louis is coming off a big win over Detroit last night and may not have much emotion left in this up and down season for them.
Chicago – V
Edmonton at Calgary
A lot is on the line in this game and I expect 2 fights in 1st period just for the fun of it. This is also so first game of a home and home so that helps bring up the emotion in a game that doesn't need it in the first place. Roloson is 5-2-1 with a 3.20 GAA in his last eight overall starts BUT, is only 2-8-0 with three ties, one shutout and a 2.58 GAA in 13 visits to Calgary. On the other side of the rink - Kiprusoff is 9-2-1 with a tie, a shutout and a 1.67 GAA in 13 all-time home games versus Edmonton
Calgary – H+

Chado Ralph Rucci
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Chado Ralph Rucci
2010 February 12
Chado Ralph Rucci

(NEW YORK) "Subtlety of detail is more easily appreciated at close range," said the Chado Ralph Rucci. The intimate runway show took place inside the designer's showroom where no one was more than 10 feet from the dresses and it was apparent to all why Rucci is haute couture.
Fur is luxurious no matter what but Ralph Rucci makes it art. He dyed Russian sable black and combined it with horsehair. Minks were bleached or knitted together with fox. The same can be said of feathers, which were used to diverse and dramatic effect on cocktail dresses and gowns. Sheer tulle paneling tied the collection together adding interest and lightness to otherwise simple silhouettes.
The refined and regal quality of the pieces are bound to end up on women like Hilary Clinton—there were pants suits with her name on them—and Michelle Obama, not to mention the New York upper crust who turned out in full force to support Rucci at the show.

This week I asked mom to share some of her Easter memories. The following is a transcript of the interview:
How did your family celebrate Easter?
Every Easter mother made us both Easter outfits. Always had a hat and gloves and black patent leather shoes.
I remember one morning early on Easter I received a little white jacket coat.
We always stood out front of the house and had our picture taken. I have pictures somewhere.
I also remember one year having an aqua-colored dress with ruffles (dotted Swiss).
Don't remember having an egg hunt, but always got a basket with candy.

Underclassmen Lead Valpo Men at Bradley Friday
Related Links
Friday, October 16, 2009
Four of the Valparaiso men's cross country squad's top five finishers Friday were underclassmen, led by freshman Wally Bradford (Mukwonago, Wis./Mukwonago), as the Crusaders recorded a 14th place finish at the Bradley Classic in Peoria, Ill.
The Crusaders tallied 401 points on the afternoon for their 14th place finish. Windsor took top team honors with 40 points, while Northern Iowa's Thibault Vandenabeele was the first individual across the line.
Bradford smashed his previous two 8K efforts so far in his rookie season, crossing the line in 67th place in 27:05 on Friday, nearly two and a half minutes better than his last race. Sophomore Jordan Piaskowy (Crete, Ill./Illiana Christian) was the second Crusader across the line, just missing his career best 8K time as he finished 86th with a time of 27:32.
Sophomore Blane Bowen (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc) sliced better than 20 seconds off of his fastest career 8K time, finishing the course Friday in 27:53 to finish in 102nd place. Junior Joel Hartenberger (Albuquerque, N.M./Sandia) crossed the line in 28:00 flat, good for 107th place, while redshirt freshman Pat Johnson (Oil City, Pa./Cranberry [Monmouth]) placed among Valpo's top-five for the first time in his career, coming home in 111th place with a time of 28:04.
Friday served as Valparaiso's final tuneup for the 2009 Horizon League Championships, to be contested in Milford, Mich. on Saturday, Oct. 31. The men's 8K championship is slated for a 10 a.m. CDT start time.

Free showing of Waste Land on April 20
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 1:28pm
This event is free and is open to the public. To learn more about "Waste Land," go to www.wastelandmovie.com.
Faculty in the art department at Hagerstown Community College are partnering with students in the HCC Science Club to show the documentary, "Waste Land," on Fri., April 20, at 7 p.m., in the Kepler Theater.
According to the film website, "Waste Land" follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, where he photographs an eclectic band of "catadores"—self-designated pickers of recyclable materials.
"This movie is critical to issues that go beyond art, ecology, and recycling: it addresses wealth and poverty, cultural strata social definitions, and the enduring human spirit," says Joan Bontempo, art department coordinator. "It will have a lasting effect, not only on our art students, but anyone interested in the arts, the ecology movement, and the idea of cultural boundaries and the global village. Seeing this film is one of those 'do not miss' opportunities."
This event is free and is open to the public. To learn more about "Waste Land," go to www.wastelandmovie.com.

After an unofficial visit to the Arkansas State campus Monday, a Memphis offensive lineman knew he found where he belonged.
Christian Brother's Offensive tackle Alex Karr made the trip to Jonesboro Monday to see how things would be during a regular school day, he got the chance to visit a teacher and take in the entire college experience.
That was enough for Arkansas State to earn their 17th commitment from Karr, who made the decision to play football for Gus Malzahn late last night.
"I love everything about Arkansas State," Karr told AStateNation.com Wednesday morning. "I really like Coach Malzahn and Coach Grimes a lot. I got the chance to visit the campus on Monday and I fell in love with it."
Karr, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound offensive lineman, is expected to play tackle for the Red Wolves. He has offers from ASU, Memphis and Middle Tennessee State.
"It just feels like home," Karr said. "I love their facilities now, and they are only going to get that much better with the new facilities they are building."
According to Karr, the ASU coaches were very happy about his decision.
"Coach Malzahn was very excited," Karr said. "He welcomed me to the family, I cant wait to be a Red Wolf."

Hey all, I'm new here and I just wanted to let people know about something I discovered the other day on my iPhone. I searched around a bit and didn't find any info anywhere else, so I decided to post it here.
I found a neat little trick that lets you add bullets into any text you type. You can use this in emails, but I mainly use it in notes to arrainge my thoughts better.
First, you have to have the Japanese keyboard enabled. Don't worry if you don't know any Japanese, this trick doesn't require any actual language knowledge.
When typing, switch your input method to Japanese, then type in 'maru' (the Japanese word for circle). Just type the letters m a r u like you would in English. Below the text you are typing on screen a selector bar will appear to let you choose which version of maru you want to input. Tap the right arrow and the list will expand to give you a ton of different choices. If you scroll down just a little you should see several bullets you can choose from. I usually go for the solid black bullet, but that's just my personal choice.
When you tap the bullet you wanted, it'll appear in the text where you were just typing. Switch your input method back to English and you're good to go.
Also, the next time you need to add a bullet the one you chose before will appear directly in the first selection box, so you won't even have to expand the list at all.
BTW, I'm using a Japanese iPhone, but I'm pretty sure as long as you enable the Japanese keyboard in the general settings menu first this should work on any iPhone.

Hi everyone, im new here and i have a 4.5 month old boy, he is precious, and i work full time and so does my husband. i bring him to work where my mom takes him to babysit till late evening. my husband doesnt want her to watch the baby and wants only me or him to watch him... that is impossible for me unless i quit my job or he does because he works almost the same time that i do, but he works grave yard. its a bit frustrating that he thinks that i can do all everything ' the baby and work' at the same time just because i work for the fam business, but its getting hard because customers come in and its unprofessional to greet a customer with a baby in hands... anyone help please, let me know what i can do to get my husband to understand that i cant do everything at once.
I want to start by welcoming you to the site. I hope that you will take some time to explore the site as there are lots of great places to post and to learn from.
It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure to keep everyone happy-and your husband primarily. I want to encourage you to site down with your husband and have a very honest talk with him about how you are feeling. Often in using "i" statements (I feel ____ ) it's hard for the other person to argue, bc those are your feelings. I think that most things in life can get straightened out with good communication-but it is hard.
Hang in there and let us know how things are going.
Thank you for your advice Jess. I have talked to him last night but now he also found a new reason to be upset with me. Background story: Married at 18, lived at his parents house for 6 months, made him move out, lived in our own rent for a 1 year and he made me move back to his parents house, and dont get me wrong i never wanted to move in, in the 1st place i dont like living with parents, its complicated with them, he also in the 1st week of moving in, his dad got assault charges for hitting his wife and i kept it to myself when i leave the house, my job is a family job (my parents) his dad came by and told my parents himself, and then went back to the house and told my husband that i told them beforehand. so now i am more irritated because he is believing his dad than his wife, i told him how i feel, but he always answers back "but, my dad said that your mom said" its frustrating so i stopped talking to him so that i wont say anything back that i would regret. As for my son, we figured out a schedule/deal that gives my husband more hours to look after him.
So in short, i am going to go and straighten things out with my fatherinlaw today. i want to clear things for things i didnt do. and get a couple answers.

Edgar Renteria held off Houston's Adam Everett in the final days of All-Star balloting to earn the starting spot at shortstop for the NL for the second straight year. That gives St. Louis three of the four infield starters for the Midsummer Classic, set for Houston's Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, July 13.
Joining Renteria will be first baseman Albert Pujols and third baseman Scott Rolen, both of whom were starters last year as well -- though Pujols made the team as an outfielder. Rolen was the leading vote-getter in the National League with 3,187,710, marking the second straight year that a Cardinal has earned that designation. Last year it was Pujols, who made a huge late push and was also the leading online vote-getter.
It's the fifth time in franchise history that a St. Louis player has garnered the most votes of any NL player. Mark McGwire was tops in 1998, and Ozzie Smith was No. 1 in 1987 and '88. Rolen is the first third baseman in history to lead NL balloting.
"I'm glad I'm not an outfielder," he quipped, referring to the NL's superstar trio of starters Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. "I think that had a lot to do with it."
Pujols (2,649,013 votes) will be appearing in his third All-Star Game, but last season marked his first start. Rolen will be making his third appearance, and his third consecutive start.
"To be voted in by the fans is a big honor," said Rolen. "To have Edgar and Albert, three of the four infielders voted into the starting lineup, it's a tribute to the fans here in St. Louis who care so much about putting their guys on the field."
Five Cardinals were All-Stars in 2003, but Jim Edmonds and Woody Williams have both had slower starts than they did last season. The last time no Cardinals pitcher made the All-Star Game was 1998, when Mark McGwire was the club's lone representative. Several Cardinals were disappointed that Chris Carpenter, who has emerged as the team's ace, was not named to the squad.
Rolen and Pujols held comfortable leads at their positions for much of the balloting, but Renteria traded the top spot at shortstop with Everett several times. In the end, Renteria won by over 200,000 votes and Everett did not even make the team as a reserve. Pittsburgh's Jack Wilson was named the backup to Renteria.
Second baseman Tony Womack finished a distant second to Jeff Kent, while Mike Matheny (third place among catchers) and Jim Edmonds (sixth among outfielders) also made respectable showings.
"It's perfect for celebration," said Renteria, who had watched the back-and-forth with interest. "Fourth of July and getting voted for the All-Star Game? A perfect day for celebration. We won the game, it's a good combination."
Rolen has been among the most dominant players in baseball all season, holding a commanding lead in the National League RBI race while playing his usual Gold Glove-caliber defense. He's a five-time Gold Glove winner, and at the season's halfway point, he is among the favorites for NL MVP honors.
Pujols has finished as the runner-up to Barry Bonds in MVP balloting in each of the past two seasons. He's once again among the league leaders in several categories, including runs scored, where he's tops in the NL. The defending NL batting champion has topped 30 homers, 110 runs, 120 RBIs and a .310 average in each of his three full seasons. He's walked more than twice as often as he has struck out this year.
"There's a lot of guys that are having great years also," said Pujols. "It's an honor. There's a lot of first basemen having a great year and I got voted in, so I'm pretty happy and real excited."
Renteria got off to a slow start this season, but has been torrid lately, bringing his average and OBP up by 30 points each in the past three-plus weeks. He's generally considered the NL's best all-around shortstop, with a pair of Gold Gloves to go along with his offensive accomplishments.
"[It's] more gratifying" to make it in a difficult season, Renteria said. "I thank the fans that voted for me. I appreciate it."
The last time one team had three of the four infield starters voted in by fans was 1982, when the Phillies sent first baseman Pete Rose, second baseman Manny Trillo and third baseman Mike Schmidt to the Midsummer Classic.
"They deserve it," said Pujols. "The season Scott is having, he's the MVP of the National League. Edgar Renteria is starting to swing the bat well and take the pressure off his shoulders."
The final two All-Stars also will be selected by the fans.

So what happens when they find someone else in America that has the same name and just say it's named after them?
If there's a family called the Focker's, then there's got to be someone named the same as these guys.

In the latest absurd twist in the ongoing debate surrounding the rights to student-athletes likenesses, a South Carolina restaurant recently made headlines for linking menu items with player names. Daniel Island Grille on Daniel Island, S.C., features three player-themed selections, according to the Charleston Post and Courier. The Tajh Boyd Chicken Quesadillas are priced at $8.99, alongside Clowney's Turkey Avocado Wrap ($8.99) and the Sammy Watkins Reuben ($9.99).
The restaurant's use of the names could run against NCAA rules, specifically NCAA Bylaw 220.127.116.11, which bans the use of student-athletes' names or pictures without knowledge or permission:
"If a student-athlete's name or picture appears on commercial items (e.g., T-shirts, sweatshirts, serving trays, playing cards, posters, photographs) or is used to promote a commercial product sold by an individual or agency without the student-athlete's knowledge or permission, the student-athlete (or the institution acting on behalf of the student-athlete) is required to take steps to stop such an activity in order to retain his or her eligibility for intercollegiate athletics."
According to the report, Clemson contacted the restaurant this week and requested that the items be removed, even issuing an official cease-and-desist letter. South Carolina SID Steve Fink wrote in an email: "We were unaware that Jadeveon's name was being used in this manner. We will follow up and take the appropriate actions necessary."
The issue involving student-athlete likenesses, which is central to the high-profile Ed O'Bannon v. the NCAA case, seems to be straying further and further from its roots — and it's a shame the NCAA would prevent player-themed delicacies from gracing the nation's menus. Campus Union is here to correct that. Here are a few potential options to consider, if they were allowed:
• Marqise Lee's Raspberry Iced Tea
• Blake Bortles' Baked Potato Bar
• Stefon Diggs' 12-Layer Bean Dip
• Gary Nova Hot Wings (four, eight or 12 wings)
• Jimbo Shrimp Cocktail
• Shayne Skov's Party in the Snackfield Sampler Platter (potato skins, onion rings, quesadillas and mozzarella sticks)
• Spicy Blake Bell Peppers
• Denard Robinson's Shoestring Potatoes
• Ron English Muffins
• Johnny Hot Dog
• Dri Archer's Golden Flash Chicken Tenders (with house specialty sweet and sour sauce)
• Jordan Lynch Fire and Brimstone Mango Habanero Chicken Wrap
• Tommy Rees' Fish 'N' Chips (Back by popular demand!)
• Les Miles' Grass-Fed Beef Burger
• Marcus Mariota's Peking Duck
• De'Anthony Thomas' SEEN A STEER Porterhouse Steak
• Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall's Don't Call Us Gurshall Surf N' Turf Combo
• Jason Verrett's Pick-Six: Your choice of three appetizers, two entrees and one dessert
• Todd Graham Parfait (Here for a limited time!)
• Nick Saban's Ice Cream Saturday (includes chocolate chips, cookie dough and BCS title rings — allow time to process)
So what happens when they find someone else in America that has the same name and just say it's named after them?
If there's a family called the Focker's, then there's got to be someone named the same as these guys.
Well, that's a fine bylaw you got there NCAA. Let me check my wallet.... driver's license, car insurance.... nope. Nothing here that says I'm a member of your little cabal or bound in any way by your rules. OH WAIT.. there's one more card in my wallet... almost missed it:
In other words, the NCAA and the chancellors of these schools want to make sure that if you use the name or likeness of one of their athletes, you pay up first.. and not to the athlete, but pay them. It all comes back to the NCAA is out to make a ton of money off these athletes and then will penalize anyone else who does so.
So If I wanted to get a player in trouble from a team I don't like, name a product after them and sell it?
Should be fine as long as that money is not going to players. Oh wait, their schools aren't happy someone else is making money off these guys.

Wow - fixed my microwave as if he was from the manufacturing company!!! Charged a great price, and best of all my microwave is s till working fabulously!
Great work! – NC appliance repair fixed my old range when I thought it was done for. I have a very old range that was from my great grandmother's house and it's been out of use for years. I wanted to get it working and cleaned up so I could use it in my remodel. It all worked out great, Thanks.
Satisfied customer! – I am so happy that I called North County Appliance Repair. They were able to fix my dishwasher and rather quickly too. If I ever need another appliance repair, you can be assured that I will call this business again, without a doubt.
So helpful! – I had the good fortune to call on Pablo of North County Appliance a couple of times recently. The first instance involved a problem with my refrigerator and he returned my call immediately to tell me that due to previous appointments he wouldn't be able to get to my home until later in the afternoon. Another (much more expensive) firm was able to send someone immediately so they could give me an "estimate". Their show-up price and bid seemed obviously excessive so I re-called Pablo while they were on site. While talking to him and getting specific cost information on the replacement parts and the time required to do the job, the man from the other firm watched uncomfortably as I repeat the conversation aloud for him to hear. In the end the other firm reduced their bid by over twenty percent and still made a tidy profit.
The second case was one where an appliance with a touch key-pad became locked in the "off" position. Having no small children, we had never used the lock and had been able to deal with all electronic problems for eight years by simply turning off (and then on) the power at the outside electrical panel. After trying (and failing) with this tried and true method we were ready to spend over a thousand dollars plus installation for a new unit. But I decided to try Pablo again for an opinion and he gave me an absurdly simple way to unlock the unit right over the phone! I offered him a "show up" fee for his extremely valuable assistance but he declined any compensation. I suppose you can guess who will be handling all my appliance repairs in the future.
Very Impressed – This business has repaired more than one appliance for me and I am so impressed with how effective they are and that they have the ability to repair different types of appliances. I have recommended my sister to NC Appliance repair, and she has been impressed as well. Thank you North County Appliance Repair, for your wonderful service.
Very helpful! – I am so thankful that North County Appliance Repair had the knowledge to fix my refrigerator! I was in a panic thinking I would have to run out and buy a new one - and fast to try to save my food. North County Appliance is great and I will definitely call on them again!
Highly recommended! – This business is great! They were able to help me twice over the phone with my appliance issues. I know they saved me several hundreds of dollars and I look forward to doing business with them again in the future!

best food!!!!!!!! – I eat out a lot. I mean, six times a week. So when I went to Cebu last week, I was amazed at how good their food was. Their dipping sauce concept is brilliant. It's all about the sauces for me. My girlfriend doesn't like sauce with her steak. So it was great for her. She didn't order the dipping sauces on the side. I had their salmon and found my favorite sauce. It was their soy sake tamarind?. You gotta try it!
Great food: tapas and Dipping Grill – We were in Old City on a Friday night and passed by Cebu. It was really crowded and buzzing, so we stopped in. (Line was long, but it moved fast) It was a lot of fun. Great DJ. On the way out, I picked up a menu card for the restaurant. What a surprise! I was expecting something very different. We ended up going back to Cebu the following week for dinner. I wanted to try their tapas menu which isquite extensive and really reasonable. I don't think anything is over $7 or $8 on it. The surprise for me was the Dipping Grill. Although we shared a couple of tapas dishes that our server - Iris - (she was fantastic) recommended, we decided to see what the Dipping Grill was all about. I ordered the skirt steak (full size) and my date had the half portion. We each ordered different sauces so that we could end up trying 6 of their sauces. It was really great, and a fun way to share a meal. The ambiance was great: good background music, but we could still talk without having to shout over the din. We weren't rushed and were lingering over dessert and coffee and ended up hanging around for the late night again. Another DJ but just as good.
Great Place to Dine and Dance! – I went to CEBU last Friday with my girlfriends and we had a blast! I never write reviews but I had such a good time I felt like I had to share it with citycearch! Food was fabulous! Love their entrees as well as tapas menu. The DJ was awesome and the drinks were DELICIOUS. I recommend to anyone who is looking to have a great meal and night out!
One of the few GREAT places for dining and nightlife in Old City! – Lately I have been feeling like a lot of restaurants and lounges never live up to the hype projected by professional reviews or their own websites. Well, I stopped in Cebu this past week after a young hostess greeted me while a friend and I reviewed the menu out front, I must say we got more than we had bargained for.
We stopped in to just grab something light, but ended up sampling a variety of unique and tasty "tapas" that we both enjoyed! They have a nice three item sampler, that is reasonable (3 apps of your choice for only 20$).....We chose Fried Calamari, Vegetable Fritters, and Seared Beef. I have ordered calamari plenty of times, but they were served with marinara sauce, and Cebu uses this sweet coconut dipping sauce that will make you ask for extras, I PROMISE! The vegetable fritters were really good too, so my buddy decided to spring for one more menu choice to share. This time we got the crispy chicken wings. This was a new take on something familiar. If your a good old fashioned beer and bar food kind of guy, you will get a nice surprise with these gems. I wish I could find a place over the bridge in Jersey to get wings like this. The place is a Filipino inspired restaurant, and this was my first experience with that style of cuisine.
Needless to say, I really liked what we ordered. Next time I am in Philly and have a full appetite, I am going in to try the entrees because they sounded great too!
Good service, uneven, illogical food – We had good service (the place was empty at 6p.m. on a Saturday night), but the food was not good. "Paella" was recommended and we expected to get . . . well . . . at least something resembling paella. We received tomato sauced rice piled with mushy, inedible mussels, a few small clams, previously frozen shrimp, and yes. . . what resembled and tasted like KIELBASA!! My sirloin steak (accompanied by what tasted like dipping sauces assembled from bottled barbeque sauce) was fatty and gristle laden. The small asparagus spears were tasty, as was the sliced potato. My child's talapia was ok, but the 3 dipping sauces were not good, nor were they suited to the dish. We cut our losses and had ice cream from a local store for dessert. Not worth the time or money.
Lavish cocktails and unique "dipping" dining served in a romantic and posh magenta-hued setting. – In Short
The folks at Cebu have repackaged this dramatic space from Filipino cuisine to a "dipping grill" of proteins, ranging from pountry to pork loin to tuna. Vegetables also take the plunge, and are all served with a selection of dipping sauces. An interesting concept, folks. But if you're not into dunking your dinner, the bar scene offers another option.
WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE – not only were the drinks incredibly small, but the bartenders were slow and rude. The bouncers were the most egotistical jerks and had control issues. They will kick you out for setting a drink down or closing your eyes while sitting. On the way out , my friend asked for me to wait until she got her coat so i turned around to help her - a bouncer shoved me outside and said i could wait outside ... then he proceeded to to accuse me of calling him the "N" word behind his back. The worst part - the managers don't care about what anyone says and completely ignore the issues.
Best Bartender In the WORLD – The big bartender with the red hair Greg is possibly the best bartended in the world. He served us an excellent meal and made us drinks to compliment the meal. He made me a martini and when I asked him what was it called he asked me name. I told him it was Jamie. His response ? Jamie I made the especially for you so from now on you can come in here and call it the Jamie.
My husband is a beer drinker and Greg when over the whole beer list describing each and they came up with a Filipino beer in which my Husband loved. After our food at the bar the lights went down and that is when Greg really shined. He made our drinks with lighting efficiency while being real busy and the last drink was as good as the first. Then out of no where he decides to light a bottle on fire and he starting flipping it all around and even behind his back. Then he started blowing fireballs 12 feet long.
Go for the food
Go for the drinks
Stay for Greg!!!
Ps Tell him Jamie and Ron says hi!!!
Service so slow I thought I was on the show Punk'd – If waiting 57 minutes (yes, precisely fifty-seven minutes) for your drink order is your idea of good service, then this place is for you! I realize the world doesn't revolve around me and completely understand when a restaurant is packed and service is on the slow side - I'm really not one to complain. However, the place was half empty and I could see by the expressions on the faces of the other patrons that I wasn't the only one in dismay. From there things only went downhill. The staff forgot about 1/3 of our our food orders and seemed bewildered and bollixed when we asked hard-hitting questions like, "Where's my food?" After paying the tab, I ran for the door, hoping to escape, and praying to never return. The bottom line: Worst Phila restaurant experience ever.
Don't convince a Filipino Native, that Toron is also named Lumpia Shanghai... – Having lived in metropolitan city as Boston, there is no Filipino cuisine...So, visiting Philadelphia, I was excited to find out that there was a few Filipino restuarants...To my dismay, I was very disappointed with the food. In addition, some of the servers who aren't native filipinos, should be retrained in the ingredients of each dish. One example, ordering 3 appetizers, Lumpia shanghai, tocino, and tahong - I believed that Toron is not another name for Lumpia Shanghai, which was served as part of the 3 apps we've ordered. When we had asked the server that I did not ordered this, she responded by saying that it was made that way...I was shocked!!! Do not convince a filipino native that Toron is Lumpia Shanghai...One redeeming dish that was served was Kare Kare...tasty and authentic...overall I expected a little bit more..

thanks, Ricky!
Actually, I had a similar idea way back when. However, it was for the reverse direction. The idea was to write a book, or perhaps a series of books. It would assume knowledge of C++ and then teach only differences in syntax and structure. The idea is that once you know a language, it really only takes 2-3 hours to become familiar with another.
Java is, in my opinion, a ridiculously easy language to learn. C++ on the otherhand, can be rather confusing for a while, and there are many more pitfalls and slight differences which are easy to overlook if you're used to using java.

Reforming the "dysfunctional" U.S. corporate tax system should be the top priority in the federal government's efforts to restore economic growth, FedEx Chairman and CEO Frederick Smith told CNBC this week.
"If you look historically, what creates growth and wealth is innovation and investment, and increase in scale — more customers," he said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "The United States tax system today is very prejudiced towards financialization, leverage, and lack of investment."
On Wednesday, the government reported that the nation's Gross Domestic Product (CNBC Explains GDP) dropped 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter — the first negative-growth reading in more than three years.
(Read More: Why This Is 'Best-Looking' GDP Drop You'll Ever See)
A day after the GDP release, Smith said, "What needs to be done to restore growth is very straightforward. And that's change the U.S. corporate tax system. It's very dysfunctional and it … [holds back] investment. And investment, in turn, is what creates GDP growth and jobs."
The U.S. economy will growth at a rate of about two percent this year, he predicted. "[But] that simply won't re-employ ... millions of Americans."
(Read More: Economy Adds Another 157,000 Jobs; Rate Up to 7.9%)
"We need to … lower the corporate tax rate, take out all of the special deals and deductions and so forth, and provide an incentive for investment," added Smith, who is part of the Business Roundtable (BRT), a CEO lobbying group.
The BRT invited President Barack Obama to address its members in December. "The president came to the Business Roundtable not long ago," Smith recalled, "[and] stated unequivocally that he's for corporate tax reform, including a lower rate and a modified territorial system."
(Read More: U.S. Corporations Fear Big Tax Hikes in White House Budget)
Republicans have long-sought to change the corporate tax code. "It's the politics that keeps it from getting done," said Smith, who was a supporter of Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
The issue of overhauling corporate taxes had emerged as a possible negotiating point in the talks at the end of last year to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
But it never became part of the final deal, which included higher taxes on wealthier Americans and an agreement to postpone automatic spending cuts, known as "the sequester," until March.
(Read More: How Rising Taxes Drove Incomes Higher in December)
With about a month left, the president and Republican leaders are still far apart on a compromise plan to replace those across-the-board spending cuts.
But during this past week, the complicating factor of raising the debt ceiling — a move Republicans had refused to support without matching spending cuts — was taken off the table until May.
Recognizing that waiting and worrying about Washington is not a business plan, Smith said, "I think companies have decided to move on. FedEx is investing this year, in our fiscal year that ends May 31, about $3.9 billion."

text: I'm not clear on the black corrugated pipe but it sounds like it's just a liner to protect the water line from the well. From all indications I believe you do have a leak in line from the well to the inside of the basement. by your description. That would be my simplest suggestion and it should work OK.Is there any reason in a worst case scenario that I couldn't move my inlet location to the side of the porch (approx 20') and cut a new hole through the block and than run my poly pipe along the basement wall to the pressure tank while leaving the existing wiring with the old inlet pipe?

|Paradise Lost
Many research papers discussed the significance of Bethlehem. The Bible says that this is the birthplace of Jesus. Jews, Christians and Muslims believe that this hem of the Judaean desert is the Holy Land. But what is written in those papers is far from what the present-day city is.
Bethlehem is one of the most contentious places on Earth. A wall was erected by the Israeli government to keep terrorists away. Within the barrier are old homes made of pale yellow stones, refugee camps and settlements where inhabitants are suspicious of one another.
A number of research papers traced the origin of this problem. During World War II, Israel was known as the British Mandate for Palestine. After the war, in the wake of the Holocaust, the United Nations voted to partition the region into two states - one Jewish, one Arab. Jews accepted the plan, but Arabs did not. Fighting between Arabs and Jews began even before Israel declared independence in 1948. The ensuing war resulted in about 750,000 Palestinians fleeing their native villages, many of them forced to do so by the Israeli army. Many relocated to the West Bank of the Jordan River, administered by Jordan, or the Gaza Strip, governed by Egypt. These were the first Palestinian refugees.
A few research papers pointed to the fact that Bethlehem is a Christian town for centuries. Muslims came in steadily. Israel's victory in the Six Day War of 1967 altered the city's complexion. Jewish settlers began moving into the occupied West Bank, a place many Israelis refer to by its biblical name, Judaea and Samaria; Christians, who started fleeing to safer lands during World War II, accelerated their exodus; and Palestinian militants initiated attacks on military and civilian targets. In the same region where Jews once battles Philistines, it's now Israelis against Palestinians.
Visitors would encounter people quoting from the Bible, reciting from the Koran, chanting from the Torah. Some would show their fields or even point to their olive groves. Some invoke history, while others envision the future (if there'll be one). Some pray with knees on the ground, some with foreheads on the ground, some with feet firmly planted but with torsos turning and swaying. Some throw stones and some drive tanks and some wrap themselves with explosives. All these things can be disturbing, and it's even more puzzling when non-residents would realize that the land that Jews, Christians and Muslims revere, fight and even kill for is just a tiny scrap of wind-soured, water-starved, rock-strewn bit of ground.
Make no mistake that every corner in Bethlehem smells of history; no research paper would contradict that. But the conflicts played out in that tiny land are capable of transcending borders and consequently affect the future of millions of people.
Kyle Steven Rundell wrote several research papers on world politics and ancient history. He's also a frequent contributor of historical features. He makes it a point to visit Europe every year because it looks (and smells) old; anything about the past excites him.

My son has been a student for the last year and a half after starting at 2 1/2 years old. I have…Read Morebee n impressed with his educational development and desire to learn which I believe is a direct reflection of the environment Westshore provides. I am also 100% comfortable knowing that he is in a very caring environment that treats him as an individual. Love the full year program as well! Gives him consistency and is exactly what my family needs with both of us working.
