There's a big difference between calling your car a lemon and it actually exhibiting all the qualities necessary to fall under the legal category of "lemon." These qualities vary by state, but typically include any car that's had to be repeatedly returned to the dealer for the same repair. It also has to have substantial impact to your car's safety, use, and value.
If the defect is a life or death safety issue (such as bad brakes, or an engine that suddenly dies in traffic) the car dealer is given a maximum of 2 chances to fix the problem, or give you a complete refund or replacement. This is your guarantee by law.
If you think your car may be a lemon, contact your local dealership and make an appointment with their service department today.

I'm going to post what I've done over the last 3 weeks here. Why not? I love feedback and advice and thoughts...and I'm new to the boards.
I picked up BFL about 9 years ago and went the 12 weeks and then some, and then I fell away from it, off and one. Never going past week 4 any one time. Recently, I moved into a new home and I'm just feeling like I'm so overdue for SO MUCH. So, I decided to tweak my program a little. I am currently doing 2 days of weights, 3 days of cardio, and 1 day of circus training or swimming (I am lucky enough to live near a trapeze school and it's one heck of a workout in a 2-hour class!). And then of course, I have my free day.
I just get bored with 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio. I had to do something to shake myself up, so I'm thinking this will be helpful. I also worry about an old shoulder injury that flares up now and then, so I try to be mindful of how much weight I'm lifting over my head. And yes, swinging my body weight around a trapeze bar doesn't really help the shoulder...but come ON, it's so much FUN, and who doesn't like to fly? :-)
Goals: get in shape for photo shoot (for the fun of it, just some goofy beefcake-esque 50's parody pictures; but to actually have the body for them!); do 10 pull-ups unassisted, which I've never been able to do; and see one level of the mysterious abs. Not a six pack, since I'm not genetically pre-disposed, but a flatter belly overall.
Week 1:
Day 1 - 20 min. cardio, treadmill
Day 2 - 20 min. cardio, treadmill
Day 3 - 20 min. cardio, treadmill (anyone see a pattern here?)
Day 4 - weights, upper body
Day 5 - 20 min. cardio, elliptical / pull-up machine / crunches
Day 6 - 15 min. swimming laps (I need to learn how to incorporate swimming so it's effective cardio or it's part of a healthy routine) - pointers and suggestions welcome.
Day 7 - rest
I'll post the other weeks eventually.
Here's what I'd love to hear about:
1. Anyone else out there working with or around an old shoulder injury? How do you manage? Do you restrict the amt of weight you lift, even if it means not hitting a 9 or a 10? Do you try and do other non-BFL listed exercises? IN short: what's working for you?
2. Have you added swimming into the routine? How so? How do you find your 10 in that?
3. Is it OK for me to add pull-ups to one of my cardio days each week? I know we're supposed to rest our bodies, but I'm not sure when else to fit it in, and my upper body gets zonked on upper-body days.
Any and all thoughts welcome....
I, like you tend to get bored in the gym so I think it's great you added a trapeze class! As long as it gets your HR up it's exercise and it's always good to mix things up and challenge your body in new ways. I also have an old shoulder injury (partially torn rotator cuff from volleyball 20+ years ago). I'm a nurse and am always pulling up patients, etc. so I do have to be mindful of it. Be careful with swimming as this can aggravate it depending on where your injury is. I do swim once in a while (once every week or two) and that seems to be ok. As far as weights go I'm very careful when doing shoulder presses, etc. and never do anything involving lifting in the front as that aggravates my shoulder more. I've learned to work around it though. Good luck!
This is awesome and super helpful - thank you so much!
Trapeze is great because it uses your entire core, your back, your shoulders and arms. It definitely gets my heart rate up, since it's a lot of adrenaline and constant movement. WHen you're not in the air, you're climbing a ladder, or stretching, or bouncing on a trampoline to practice a few twisting moves and to practice landing in your back in the net. That net is NOT a soft landing, and I always seem to scrape myself somehow. But it's so much fun, and I'm pretty sore for a day or so afterward.
It sounds like you've worked around your injury well and you know what to do. I think I'm just listening to my body and seeing what works and what doesn't. I guess I'm concerned about not hitting a 10 vs avoiding an injury. But I think avoiding injury is more important, and then I can find something else to do that lets me hit a 10 without risking injury...is that the right way to go? Seems to be.
Hey--me too!!!! I did BFL in 2000 but then a divorce made me veer off course before I finished. (Okay, I ALLOWED the divorce to get me off course.) I started the program several times but never made it into the 3rd week.
In 2008 I got serious and did 3 rounds back to back. I went from a size 20-22 to a 10-12. I felt amazing! I loved every minute of the program.
Then life got in the way...actually cancer did. Now, I just reached my year 2 of cancer-free and am starting again. I just started yesterday, 4/4/11.
Fortunately, I kept all my old journals, books, notes, etc.. I am having a ball going through them all.
Hey, I figure we're ahead of the game since we have the "background". I am finding that my body remembers the feeling of the free weights.
The cardio is where I was always the weakest. I really don't like it and feel clunky..even at in my best shape after round 3, I never really got comfortable with it.
Anybody have the recipe for the Pumpkin Muffins from way back then? They didn't have oatmeal in them...all the ones I see now do. Those without (I think from year 2000) were fantastic...and you could eat 6 small ones for a meal.
I think I'll post that question. They were yummy...and you could eat 6!!!!
I'm excited to see some old timer's here.
BTW, I'm an old timer with having done it years before...but, also my age. I just turned 60.
Sounds like a solid plan! Good luck - we're all in this together.

Aurora >Restaurants > Bent Fork American Grill
12191 East Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO | Directions 8001439.674884 -104.846592
Sun-Thu 11am-9pm
Fri-Sat 11am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Heather Ridge
french dip? ha – This restaurant looks really nice, the atmosphere is great, and the service was good.... but the food was lacking. A few other people posted that this was the best french dip in Aurora and I have to disagree. I haven't found the best yet, but this is NOT it. My sandwich tasted like ground beef and was so greasy it was dripping. I only finished half of it. Maybe I was there on an off night, but I won't be going back to find out.
Great place with great food! – My husband and I were traveling to Denver for a medical procedure and I wanted to find something new to try. I found this resteraunt on here and thought it looked good! After a long day of traveling it was a perfect spot to wind down. We both had the soup and it was a great starter then he had the pesto pasta which was to die for. I had the meatloaf and it was the same. We could not stop talking about how wonderful it was. We ended up eating it again before we left! It is a must for some good food, and we will be going back again!!!
Good Price and Tasty Food – From the outside this place looks nice. Inside it is very casual. We went here with my friends and it was a bit slow so they allowed us to seat ourselves. The wait staff was very patient and friendly with us. The food was really good, which kinda surprised me. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but altogether a good place for the price.
Very surprised this place has a 5 star average – Since writing my reviews on Citysearch, I decided to use this site to find a new place to eat at. My BF and I had a date night last night so my searches were "romantic dining" and "jazz bar" and a couple others in my area. Bent Fork came up for all of them and since it had a 5 star rating, it was an easy choice. When we got to the establishment, we were promptly seated... next to a family with loud screaming children. We could hear another table with a crying baby around the corner from us as well. Very annoying and NOT romantic at all. The menu looked great! We split a bowl of tortilla soup and a caesar salad. The caesar salad was mediocre, the soup was delicious and the garlic bread tasted like it was made a couple hours ago and re-heated. My BF also had a dirty vodka martini. It was very weak. I'm glad I stuck with water. For our entrees, I ordered the lobster pasta and my BF had the bleu cheese burger. The lobster pasta was very bland, no flavor. The menu said a spicy lobster bisque was used for the sauce. There was barely any sauce, it tasted and looked nothing like lobster bisque and had no spice at all. I don't remember the last time I actually did this, but I didn't eat it & I sent it back. The garlic bread that came with the pasta was fresh & tasty. As for the bleu cheese burger, just looking at it from across the table made me a little queasy. It was so greasy it was soaking through the bun. It also had no lettuce, tomato or any veggies on it. My BF said the beef was actually delicious. I even tried a bite and have to agree. It was a cheap, thin bun that the grease demolished quickly that made it look as bad as it did. In conclusion, the service was fantastic! Our waiter kept constant tabs on us, my water glass was never empty (and if you read any of my other reviews, this is a big deal to me), and he was sympathetic to our bad experience with the restaurant. He got a good tip. I don't believe this place is worth a return visit.
Great american food in Aurora – The first time I found the bent fork I was looking for a place to take some friends and family out for dessert. We showed up, were seated promptly and service was excellent. I had the raspberry bread pudding while most everyone else tried their wide variety of dessert options. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their choices.
I?ve been back since for dinner and had the same experience. Fast friendly service, excellent food, great atmosphere.
I would not hesitate to suggest the bent fork to anyone.
Best French Dip anywhere – I've gone to The Bent Fork for their French Dip for years. It's the best French Dip I've ever had and it's my favorite sandwich in Denver. The hamburgers are also excellent. The atmosphere is great and there is lots of parking available. They have a nice bar too.
What a find! ...and we found it here. – I saw the reviews for this restaurant here on Citysearch and figured it was worth the trip to Saudi-Aurora to give it a try. Wow! what a find! The restaurant has been there for many years - but if it weren?t for Citysearch we would have never found it. We made reservations through OpenTable - but probably didn't need to. We were there on a busy Friday night and were seated promptly. The digs are very warm and comfortable. Exposed brick, nice lighting, and comfortable tables. The service was very attentive and friendly. Our server made helpful suggestions and explained details of some of the dishes. The menu is wonderful. It's all over the board with flavors - which are good for pleasing all kinds of tastes. My husband had the buffalo pot-roast. It came in a wonderful presentation and the minute he touched the top with his fork, it was so tender it flaked apart on its own. The flavor was amazing. I had the mac and cheese with lobster. Comfort food all grown up! It had a nice combination of cheeses, which held up great with the tender lobster pieces. We will definetly be back and have recommended this place to all our friends.
Great comfort foods – If you're craving comfort foods then this is the place! Interesting interior and very attentive waitstaff. Food is excellent. I went with a group of 6, we all ordered different things, and everyone loved their food. It's one of those places that you see everyone else's plate and you want to order that too because it all looks and smells SO good. We'll all be back for sure.
excellent food, great ambiance – When in Aurora this is one restaurant I can always count on. I have eaten at the bent fork numerous times and always had a wonderful experience. The food is all superb, the service prompt and the ambiance and decor is a step above what you would expect for the prices on the menu. Try the salmon fish and chips, it is fantastic and this is the only restaurant outside of Seattle that I have found it.
Best lunch spot in Aurora – The food is superb, and quite inexpensive. The staff is friendly & the service is great. I used to wor nearby & ate there frequently for lunch. everything I tried was always excellent. Happy Hour gets busy & is a nice stopping off spot in an area that doesn't have many quality choices.

It is one of the steps that is done on a number of summer places around here...Alaska..
The first time for a tank with what ever media will do water and then air, Wait about 5 minutes and to it again this time there will be some water then air.. wait again for 5 minutes and repeat.
The main key is waiting long enough and doing it often enough to blow the water out... if done right there will only be a little water left that should not break any thing.
What kind of valves are on the 3?

This past Memorial weekend, my Dad, Frank Hall, and I were out on a drive to one of his Mom's favorite haunts, the Old Mission Peninsula. It was a beautiful Sunday, just past noon so we decided to grab lunch at the Peninsula Grill. We settled in, placed our order and were chatting about memories of the "good old days," especially of picking cherries at many orchards throughout the Grand Traverse region. Back then, kids didn't have to look very far or hard for work!
As we sat chatting and enjoying lunch, a young boy, about three years of age, approached our table, walked up to Dad with his outstretched hand and stated "I want to thank you for saving our country!" Dad shook his little hand and thanked him. As he went back to sit at his family's table, Dad and I looked at each other in awe and amazement. I had a lump in my throat the size of a grapefruit and a bit of mist crossed my fathers' eyes. "What did he say?" Dad asked. I repeated the boys' remarks.
Being a veteran myself and having worked at the Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette, I had heard many expressions of appreciation to veterans for their service but never as accurate as the one expressed that day. 'Thank you for saving our country'
Dad was wearing his favorite veterans' hat that day. It reads WWII Veteran U.S. Army Air Corps. I approached the table where this child sat with his parents and younger brother. I asked his mom if she had heard what their son had said to my Dad. She said she hadn't, but that he had learned to thank veterans when recognized and has received no prompting to do so. She mentioned how he spotted Dad's veterans hat and just wanted to thank him. I told his parents of their sons' remarks and I thanked him for making Dad's day very special.
Reflecting back on that day and the greeting shared, it is one that can be said of all veterans of that era who fought and scarified so much for all that we have and share today. Additionally let us remember our moms, grandmas, aunts, nieces, and cousins who left their homes to go work in the factories during the war to ensure our GIs had what they needed to get the job done!
Finally, thank you to the parents, relatives, friends, and teachers who pass on to younger generations the respect and appreciation our veterans have earned and deserve for their honorable service to our country.

Dave Hall grew up in the Grand Traverse region, graduated from St. Francis in 1969, served during the Vietnam War era, attended Northwestern Michigan College, worked many years at the Traverse City State Hospital/Arnell Engstrom Children's Center, and retired from the Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette. He currently resides in the Central Upper Peninsula.

Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng claims he is being booted from his apartment and his fellowship at New York University this month because of NYU's kowtowing to the Chinese government. The school protests mightily, claiming that it has lavished resources on Chen and never intended for his fellowship — granted after he sought refuge in the U.S. embassy in Beijing — to last for more than a year.
Here's what's not in dispute: NYU, as part of the most ambitious international expansion program of any U.S. university, is about to open a satellite campus in Shanghai that is being heavily subsidized by the city government. Chinese authorities haven't hesitated in the past to punish universities and blacklist professors who cross its political red lines. And NYU already has a record of appeasing the authorities in Abu Dhabi, the site of another satellite campus.

Upper: Leather. Sock and inner: Textile. Sole: Other.Colour: Navy.
Colour: Blue/White/Red. Upper: Leather. Lining and sock: Textile. Sole: Other materials.
An ideal elastic brace for support and compression. Made of the quality surgical elastic. Helps minimize further injury while still permitting continued activity.
This is the fifth generation of the Aeropro racket. It has constantly been improved to offer its signature power and topspin.The Woofer system is the first technology to enable the frame and strings to interact each and every time a player hits the ball. It provides 25% longer ball-string contact time, with more sensation and greater precision.New to this racket is Cortex Active Technology. Every time a racket hits a ball it generates thousands of vibrations; some cause discomfort, some give players a better feel of the ball. Each player is different, so this system has three types of dampeners to enable all types of player to find just the right amount, and kind of, sensation to suit their specific preference. Concentrated at 3 and 9 clock positions on the string bed, is the combination of carbon and stiff Tungsten fibres that make the racket twice as stable as standard carbon frames, for less torque and more precision. Specification:. Head size: 100sq. in. Weight: 300g. Balance point: 320 mm. Length: 27 inch.
A controlled racket for the modern, aggressive game. These Blade rackets are designed for hard-hitting, offensive players who want a traditional-feeling racket to maximise control and spin.This particular racket in the series has a lightweight, manoeuvrable frame to provide more power, without compromising control.

A racket for control and feel, the Pro Staff has been used by some of the best players to ever pick a racket up and still is today, with the likes of Sampras, Edberg and Federer all opting for the Pro Staff.The high level of control, required by players who yearn for precision and feel from their racket, comes as a result of the braided graphite construction. It has a traditional weight and balance, and the AmpliFeel technology is what provides unrivalled response. This AmpliFeel technology delivers greater information to the hand when firming up for contact. With a better hold, shots become more powerful and more consistent, and as a result, your swing becomes more comfortable and fluid.From any position on the court this is a racket that will deliver unnerving accuracy.
Specification:. Head size: 95 sq inch. Unstrung weight: 313g. String pattern: 16 x 19. Length: 27 inch. Cross section: 18 mm flat beam.

|Ratings Key
|Minimal Problems
|Moderate Problems
|Significant Problems
Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Engine, the Charcoal Canister/Evaporative Solenoids and the Air Fuel Ratio Sensors for California emission vehicles. Failure of the Engine is caused because the engine oil gels. Engine oil gelling will also cause excessive engine oil usage. When proper maintenance schedules for oil changes are followed, oil gelling should not occur. Lexus has issued an 8 year unlimited mileage goodwill repair for this condition. Failure of the Charcoal Canister/ Evaporative Solenoids or the Air Fuel Ratio Sensors will cause a drivability problem or the check engine light to illuminate.
The cost to repair the Engine is estimated at $4,500.00 for parts and $1,384.50 for labor. The cost to repair the Charcoal Canister/Evaporative Solenoids is estimated at $321.50 for parts and $65.00 for labor. The cost to repair the Air Fuel Ratio Sensors is estimated at $310.67 each for parts and $97.50 for labor.

Also, differing materials and lighting can make even 'same' colored whites look different. Keep in mind that tubs are measured from studwall to studwall, not between finished walls. Might you actually have a 60" rough opening?

In an attempt to bring everything together, we decided to pose a few questions to the staff based on everything that transpired throughout the draft. You'll find our answers to these questions below, but we would love to here your responses as well. Please feel free to let us know your responses to the following questions in the comment section below.
Which selection did you consider to be the worst pick of the draft?
Sean Cahill
: I have to think that the worst pick was Warcraft at the end of the first round. WoW is dying a slow, horrible death, even though it has been a cash cow for awhile. If the point of this was to use a franchise that has staying power, Warcraft is easily on the downswing.
John Yan
: While I do like the Red Faction universe, I think there's a few others they Nathan could have gotten and picked that one later on down the road. It seemed to have gone a little bit high in that regard.
Travis Huinker
: Rock Band has to win for the worst pick of the draft because I believe that genre was simply a fad. I can't even imagine what innovation would possibly bring the series back to the forefront. People are simply tired of the gameplay and no longer desire to have more fake instruments in their houses.
Nathaniel Cohen
: Mario / Mega Man / Final Fantasy are all three horrible first round picks. All three are obvious reaches. It's one thing to vote your heart, it's another thing to waste first round picks on your heart.
Russell Archey
: Psychonauts. About everything else I see on our picks are major franchises or games that have been recently released that could become major franchises (Darksiders, Minecraft, etc.), but not Psychonauts. I don't recall hearing about another Psychonauts game, and if I recall reading correctly, sales didn't do so hot for Majesco with the game.
Dan Keener
: The worst pick was John Yan's selection of Dungeon Keeper. Understanding that we are drafting IPs and then explaining how we would use them, I still think it was a poor selection of a franchise that has been left for dead. While the first two games (released in 1997 and 1999 respectively were modest success, the third game never made it off the development floor. Although the IP potentially lives on with the rumored Dungeon Keeper Online.
Jeremy Duff
: The first pick was definitely the worst pick. As much of an issue as I had with Mega Man, I would have taken that way ahead of final Fantasy. Square has killed that franchise over the past couple of years!
Charles Husemann
: I hate to pick on Sean for Final Fantasy but how is that the number one pick of the entire draft?
What was the biggest "steal" of the draft (aka what is the one game that you are kicking yourself for not taking)?
Sean Cahill
: Dead Space was the best steal. It's a relatively new franchise that has had two solid titles and has already had spinoffs in mainstream media. It's a franchise that can be expanded upon in many ways and, for as late as it went, is definitely a steal.
John Yan
: Red Dead Redemption I think is a good steal. I really enjoy westerns and Rockstar hit it out of the park with that. Remember how Grand Theft Auto 3 was the start of something big for Rockstar? Red Dead Redemption is one that I think could have potential to be a starter for a monster franchise as well.
Travis Huinker
: John easily wins the steal of the draft with Mario, which resulted in the rest of us crying over the lost opportunity. If one character was chosen to represent video games, the pick is often that of the beloved Nintendo character, Mario. It's for good reason too, the franchise has a wealth of great game releases under its belt and near endless potential for future concepts.
Nathaniel Cohen
: Yan's final selection of Half-Life. Did John put a spell on all of us? How did no one think of this before round 6. I guess that's what Valve gets for pretending like the franchise doesn't exist.
Russell Archey
: I'd probably have to go with Diablo. For some reason, I completely forgot about this one when I picked Kingdom Hearts and it would have been a much better pick. While I think I kind of made up for it in later rounds with Bioshock and Borderlands, I still don't know how I forgot about another of the most anticipated games of the year.
Dan Keener
: The biggest steal of the draft was made by Jeremy in the last round. I actually suggested the Tom Clancy pick to him a few rounds earlier, as I had other choices that I really wanted instead. The best thing about this IP is that you get multiple genres of games under the banner including 1st Person Shooter, Air Combat, RTS, Stealth, and 3rd person shooter. So one stop shopping for Jeremy!
Jeremy Duff:
Simply because of how much it stung personall, I am going with Resident Evil. I had a long list of ideas drawn up for the series and was very (VERY) upset to see it go 1 round before I would have selected it. Damn you Sean!
Charles Husemann
: Star Wars falling to the third round is pretty big given the intense loyalty that the franchise.
What selection went undrafted was longer than it should have?
Cahill: Saint's Row in round 6 went way late! The Yin to GTA's-Yang, I felt that Saint's Row should have gone a couple of rounds earlier than it did. Another series that has tremendous potential to be a blockbuster.
John Yan
: The Witcher.. Just kidding! Since I am omitting my own picks, I'd say Fallout is one that surprised me falling so low. It's a great series and a lot of people love it, so I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. In fact, I was going to pick it up if Travis didn't on the pick before me.
Travis Huinker
: I was particularly surprised that Half-Life was only picked in the bonus round of the draft. The internet has quite an obsession with Gabe Newell and Valve and eagerly await anything that the company produces, even if it isn't yet Half-Life 3.
Nathaniel Cohen
: Half-Life. See my answer to the previous question; they're seriously exactly the same.
Russell Archey
: How the hell did Skylanders make it six rounds? Why didn't I think of it? I mean, I work in a store that can't keep the individual figures in stock for longer than two days (actually, we're closing in on two weeks straight, so that's amazing).
Dan Keener
: I have to go with the Elder Scrolls franchise that John grabbed as the 15th overall pick. My main reasoning is that this is the premiere single player RPG on the market and is strong on both console and PC.
Jeremy Duff
: Mario should have been first. It should always be first in this sort of draft. End of story.
Charles Husemann
: Half-Life making it to the final round. Honestly it wasn't even on my draft board despite Half-Life 2 being my favorite game of all time.
What was the one selection that defined someone picking with their heart and not their mind?
Sean Cahill: Admitting that my Final Fantasy pick is one of those, I would say that Russell's pick of Mega Man in the first round is tops on the list. A franchise that has only had two titles released in recent memory and still in 8-bit format. While it's a nice change up from today's graphics hogs, what can be done with this franchise to warrant a first round pick?
John Yan
: The top one would be Final Fantasy for me. While a solid series, I think it's lost a lot of its luster in the past five years or so and I think Sean could've had that in a lot later round.
Travis Huinker
: I picked Psychonauts due to my personal love for the game and desire for playing its sequel someday soon in the future. With the genius of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Studios Productions, I would do anything possible to support the development of a Psychonauts sequel.
Nathaniel Cohen
: Mario / Mega Man / Final Fantasy all earn this honor. The only way you'd pick these in the first round is because your heart beat your brain in a wrestling match. Seriously, THE FIRST ROUND? How do they deserve to be first round picks? They're all legacy franchises that deserve spots in the gaming hall of fame rather than a roster of active franchises.
Russell Archey
: Believe it or not, I may have to go with my Mega Man pick. Even Capcom seems to be distancing themselves from the franchise and I took it right off! There are still a few things you can do with the blue bomber, but something tells me it'll be up to the fans to make it happen, not Capcom.
Dan Keener
: Russell's selection of Mega Man with the 5th overall pick was not only baffling, but clearly a selection that would doom any companies portfolio from the start. While the franchise has sold over 29 million units worldwide since the late 1980's, it clearly is a later round pick with limited viability in its current state on today's consoles and handhelds.
Jeremy Duff
: I am torn between Final Fantasy and Mega Man, but Final Fantasy wins out mainly due to how horrid I think the series has become. To me, that was a selection that was based solely on great memories and not recent experiences with the franchise.
Charles Husemann
: See #1 although Russell picking Mega Man in the first round is also up there.
Who do you feel had the best overall draft?
Sean Cahill
: Overall, I lean towards Dan Keener's draft. He has a powerhouse in GTA, the money machine for handhelds in Pokemon, the ever-popular Madden series, a new franchise with Uncharted, a series that keeps releasing DLC at a phenomenal rate in Rock Band, and then a long-forgotten series with Spyro. A great starting point for his choices.
John Yan
: From a monetary standpoint, Dan's picks seem to be one that's going to be a lot of successes other than Uncharted. He shouldn't have any trouble staying out of the red. From a variety stand point, Travis seems to have a lot of interesting IPs that span a multitude of categories.
Travis Huinker
: I'm going with John as the best overall draft picks because of Mario, Star Wars, Elder Scrolls and Half-Life in a single company would dominate over the rest. Especially, Mario and Star Wars provide an extensive catalog of back titles to release as high-definition versions and the endless possibilities for future games and projects.
Nathaniel Cohen
: I'll say Chuck had the best draft. I know it sounds like I'm sucking up, but every single pick is solid, with a good mix of cash cows, cutting edge ideas, and games that appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers.
Russell Archey
: I'd have to go with Keener's six picks. Keener has a decent mix of genres, age groups, and hardcore vs. casual games.
Dan Keener
: I firmly believe that my draft was the best of the bunch. While I do have a small hole with a lack of a traditional RPG, I have a nice blend with the #1 Sports title in Madden, a top 3rd person shooter/action adventure game in Uncharted, the #1 sandbox franchise in Grand Theft Auto, the #2 all-time selling franchise (behind Mario) in Pokémon, the hottest selling game/toy crossover in Skylanders and the only music video game (Rock Band) in the 48 picks. If I had to pick a couple of runner-ups, they would be Sean Cahill, Jeremy Duff and John Yan in that order.
Jeremy Duff
: I would have to give this category to John Yan. His final list of acquisitions are among the most well-rounded and contain nearly all sure-fire hits. Dugeon Keeper is the only questionable choice of the bunch, but he has a plan and has the resources to back the project thanks to his other selections.
Charles Husemann
: It's a bit egotistical to pick yourself but I'm very happy with my draft as I've got a solid mix of old legacy franchises as well as new and upcoming franchises that embrace our free to play future. Close behind me are John and Jeremy who both have solid mid and upper level franchises.
No explanation needed: what is the one franchise you are shocked to see went undrafted?
Sean Cahill: Gran Turismo
John Yan: Mortal Kombat
Travis Huinker: Guild Wars
Nathaniel Cohen: Prince of Persia
Archey: Castlevania:
Keener: Metal Gear
Jeremy Duff: Gears of War
Charles Huseman: Metroid

Great promotion to win free appetizers – I don't know if all the Fox & Hound locations do this promotion, but the Littleton one lets you drop a business card in a bowl for a chance to win free appetizers for a group of up to 20 people, plus free pool for two hours. It's a fantastic deal--they're extremely generous in providing appetizers both with the size of the appetizers and the number of dishes served. If everyone in your group drops another business card, you and your friends/coworkers have good odds of continuing the cycle of winning free appetizers every couple of months.
The atmosphere here is nice. Great place to hang out with friends. Food is good. Prices are about average to slightly more expensive for draft beers.

I use Trads for pest control and lawn spray and they do a wonderful job. They got rid of the black worm things that I find at my front door right away so I tried them for lawn fertilizing and pest control. Trads saved my lawn too, they are the only company that will treat crabgrass and sedge. I pay a little extra for the spraying but they got rid of my crabgrass and my sedge is almost all gone too. My lawn is probably the best on the street and the office is very nice too.
Trads is awesome! The people who complain don't follow Trads instructions! I know because I used to be one of those people. I called to complain about my lawn and Trads sent out a service person who went over the lawn with me. I started watering and mowing like they said and my lawn is amazing. I have used other companies and I can tell you Trads is the only company that cares about its customers.
Trad's is about Par for the course, they don't offer anything exceptional in the lawn care side. They won't treat for sedge weeds unless you pay extra, they didn't fertilize my bushes, I had to call them several times to come back out for weeds. Billing dept sent me bills claiming I had not paid, when in fact I had. I finally got tired of it, they are not very well managed from the office side from my experience, that's too bad. They are a locally owned company and I tried to give them my business but I finally had to move on. I'm selecting a new service now and have been very impressed with some of the other companies offer that Trad's didn't offer.
Trad's Garden Center & Pest Control – After 6 years of treatment and free sod replacement my yard was full of dead sod and weeds everywhere. The issues in my yard continued until I started using another company.
Pest and Lawn Control – We been using their service for about 1.5 years and our Lawn has never looked as good, its not just weed free it is also the greener then anyone in my neighborhood !! I read the other reviews and maybe those people need to water their lawns, thats why they die after the treatment !! I would very much recommend Trads !! You guys are doing a great job !!!! Frank K, St Aug !!
Garden Center Good ~ Lawn Maintenance BAD! – I have always enjoyed stopping by the Trad's Garden center so when my husband starting moaning about our current lawn maintenance co. I thought "here is a great chance to go local" Surely a local company will care more about customer service and success than the big uncaring corporate guys." Boy was I wrong. Our lawn went from "OK but needy" to "Desperately dead" in a matter of months. I mean it was brown and weedy and dead and they never made a suggestion or said a word. But they still came out and sprayed this dead yard and then PUT THEIR SIGN UP! It was such a joke, we couldn't believe it. Who would advertise their company on a dead yard? My lawn cutting guy took a picture so that he could convince other customers to stay far far away from Trad's lawn care. So should you!
not customer service oriented – Went in to setup an appointment after reading on their website about how they will plan out a landscape job for you. I had to call and follow up, they were rude to me on the phone. Then Mr. Trad comes out and spends two minutes telling me that it is $500/pallet to have sod put down. "let me know when you have decided what to do" What great help they were. Plus that is twice the price of the other few companies I have called. I heard great things about Trad's but I tell you I will not be visiting them again.
What a pretty garden center! – When I moved to Jacksonville, I drove by this garden center daily without walking in. But, one day there were these beautiful flowers lining the street! They were sooooooo pretty! I had to stop in! They were so happy to let me just wander around (I HATE INTRUSIVE SALESPEOPLE!), but once I was ready to start with my question, they were very helpful! I wanted to just get into my garden right away (which I didn't even have yet!) and they got me there! I have even called back with questions, and they were helpful (and I wasn't even spending $$$).
Give 'em a try and you will never want to shop anywhere else!
My Happy Garden Place – Trad's is my happy garden place. Just seeing the pretty and colorful flower border at the street makes me smile. I really like to go there and find the plants I want, and more than I knew I wanted. The staff has never failed to help me, whether answering my questions, finding out what I need and having the solution, suggesting something that I might like or want to know about, or taking purchases to my car—and, they are happy to see me.
I've attended a couple of the Saturday seminars, too, and was fascinated. I learned practical things I can do myself, and things I didn't already know. Questions were welcomed, so I got real answers and solutions to my garden and shrub concerns.
I'll keep going to Trad's for their selection of healthy plants, colorful annuals, helpful service—and garden inspiration.
Trad's is RAD! – I have a 14' rock garden in the front of our house. I couldn't seem to figure out the right mix of plants because it faces north and most bedding plants require more sunlight.
My husband and I went to Trad's on a Saturday morning, caught the 'Garden Series' seminar at 10 and then talked to one of their experts. We walked away with a car load of plants that have taken my rock garden to a whole new level of wow! We had also signed up for their newsletter and emails so we had a coupon which made the experience even better.
Now my rock garden 'rocks'! And I have a garden expert at Trad's that I can go to the next time I need to brainstorm about landscaping and garden design.
One last thing, the lady who helped us gave us some great advice I'd like to share. She said, "don't plant your garden all at once. Throughout the summer add in new types of plants as the garden matures and you get a sense of what you like."

211 Commercial Ave, Aspinwall, PA | Directions 1521540.490460 -79.904613

Neighborhoods: Aspinwall
Great Food/Poor Service – We've enjoyed the Aspinwall Grille for many years. It's a great local spot with reliably good food. On our last visit, we stood at the door waiting to be seated. It was not a busy night and tables were open. After a while, I asked one of the waitresses if we should seat ourselves and she snapped back that we should not. We were then shown to our seats and within a minute asked if we were ready to order. We asked for more time and the waitress returned with waters and asked again if we were ready to order. When we were not, she left and did not return. We closed our menus and waited 15 minutes. No waitress. It seems we had offended the wait staff by asking for the music to be changed or turned down which apparently was an unreasonable request. Clearly, we were not going to be waited on, so we left. It was a difficult experience for my husband and I and our kids. This was the second such experience. Very disappointing.
Fun atmosphere with tasty food – Aspinwall Grille is a great place to go for a casual meal. They have a great beer selection and many different types of food. I highly recommend the grilled veggie sandwich. My boyfriend really enjoyed the cheesteak sandwich, but the liquid Velveeta cheese on top was a little much. The same Velveeta cheese (the waitress identified it as Velveeta) was in the chicken quesadillas, which I would probably avoid solely due to the liquid cheese. My father got the fried fish sandwich, which was HUGE! He finished every last bite! In the past, I disliked dining at Aspinwall Grille due to the smokey/bar environment. But the new addition has eliminated that issue and the restaurant is more family friendly than ever! Fun atmosphere with quality food.
User review by melinasuzanne – I was there on several Tuesday nights. The music is Ok but the place is too small for live music, you have to walk through the band to enter. There was a young woman there who was repulsive, she would bend over and shove her rear end into all of the band members. It was so tasteless. These illicit behaviors would cause me not to go back there on a Tuesday night again.
Out of this world – The food at the Aspinwall Grille is EXCELLENT! I've been there on multiple occasions, each one better than the next. The burgers are sooooooooo good!
They say "Good Food, Good Fun, Good Friends". – The Scene
From the unassuming exterior on Commercial Avenue, next to a Subway, it's easy to (wrongly) dismiss Aspinwall Grille as simply another neighborhood hangout. The art deco décor-chrome tables, checkered floor, black-and-white accents, and the walls decorated with photos of Aspinwall years ago make for a simple, streamlined setting.
The Food
The surprise comes from the unusual: chicken teriyaki over toasted angel hair pasta; shrimp sautéed with fresh vegetables, in a saffron Alfredo sauce; pork medallions topped with pear cardamom chutney.
The daily specials--a soup, a sandwich, and a fish entrée--make the most of the freshest ingredients available. A can't miss is the barbecued chicken and ribs platter. Juicy and falling off the bone, they're grilled in a plentiful sweet sauce, and served with cheesy grilled potatoes.
Center Stage
Although the place is small, many evenings include live music: Tuesdays--"open mike night--or Karaoke Fridays. A jukebox and three TVs keep patrons entertained when live music is not available.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I loved this invitation but it didn't come in the color I wanted. I asked the designers to change the colors to match my wedding colors and they were able to do so. The invitations are BEAUTIFUL!!! If you see something you like and it's not in the color you want, trust me, the designers will make it happen. I am satisfied. The only small issue that I noticed is on a few invitations there was a little ink smudge and a few invitations appear to not have been cut straight. Trust me; no one will notice that but me. But overall, I am very, very pleased with my order."
"These invitations came out great! They were easy to make, came out perfectly, the paper quality was great and they got to me way faster than I expected!"
"This wedding invite is just what I was looking for! I wanted something classy, yet pretty- and this fit the bill! I ordered mine with the pearly paper, such a cute touch, with a personalized navy color rather than the given colors. It came out gorgeous! Even my fiance loves it! I ordered enclosure cards, RSVP cards, as well as table numbers and place cards! Everything will match and look elegant."
"I ordered several samples, and this one was by far my favorite. The texture of the paper was elegant and sturdy. The design fits my personal taste and perfectly matched my wedding theme and colors."
"I love my wedding invites! Perfect for my vinage theme. Thank you to all the customer service agents taht worked hard to send my invites when promised! I really appreciate all your hard work!"

MUSKOKA - The District of Muskoka is hoping its voice is heard by the province on the issues of land use and planning.
The district made five recommendations for changes to the Provincial Policy Statement that governs how provincial land is used.
The list includes concerns regarding endangered and threatened species, aggregate resources, flood plains, servicing hierarchy and private communal services, and mapping and other data.
Of particular concern to the committee of planning and economic development is the provincial official plan's requirement that aggregate resources are protected from being used residentially.
Samantha Hastings, director of policy and programs for the District of Muskoka, said much of Muskoka sits on aggregate resources, which include bedrock and granite.
"We want to make sure that we can continue to permit, especially in waterfront areas for example, residential and tourist commercial uses which are also important to our economy, and also in the rural areas to continue to allow limited residential and other uses to continue as well as resource-based activities such as aggregates," Hastings said.
In 2005 the province issued the current Provincial Policy Statement which provides direction in land use planning and development. Under the Planning Act the statement must be reviewed every five years to determine whether any revisions are needed. A notice of the review of the draft policy was released by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on Sept. 24 requesting comments from municipalities.
The district previously sent the province 13 recommendations, some of which were addressed in the draft policy. The District of Muskoka has provided comments to the province twice in the five-year review.

Willem van Eelen was born in 1923, the son of a doctor, and a child of colonial privilege. His father had recently been dispatched to the Dutch East Indies, and van Eelen wanted for nothing. "I was a spoiled boy and gave little thought to the world around me,'' he said not long ago, as we sat in the study of his modest apartment, which overlooks the broad waters of the Amstel River, in Amsterdam. His youth of oblivious freedom ended abruptly on May 10, 1940—the day the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. Van Eelen was just sixteen, but, like many of his contemporaries, he lied about his age, enlisted, and served in Indonesia.
The Dutch fought frantically to prevent Japan from seizing their most valuable colony, but they failed. Van Eelen was captured, and spent most of the war as a prisoner, dragged forcibly from one P.O.W. camp to the next. Now, at eighty-seven, dressed in khakis, penny loafers, and a casual gray shirt, he projects the contemplative air of a philosopher. Van Eelen is a genial man who laughs easily. But when asked about the camps, he lowered his voice and slowly closed his eyes.
"These were cruel places,'' he said. "We worked from morning to night building airstrips. They beat us like dogs. For food, there was almost nothing. The Japanese were harsh with us, but they treated animals even more brutally, kicking them, shooting them. By the time the Americans liberated the camp, I was so close to death that you could see my spine from the front. The soldiers would ask my name, but I didn't have enough strength to say the words."
After the war, van Eelen studied psychology at the University of Amsterdam, but he struggled with the intertwined memories of starvation and animal abuse. He began to attend scientific lectures, and, during one of them, about how to preserve meat, van Eelen was seized by an idea: "I wondered, Why can't we grow meat outside of the body? Make it in a laboratory, as we make so many other things." He went on, "I like meat—I never became a vegetarian. But it is hard to justify the way animals are treated on this planet. Growing meat without inflicting pain seemed a natural solution."
"Meat" is a vague term and can be used to refer to many parts of an animal, including internal organs and skin. For the most part, the meat we eat consists of muscle tissue taken from farm animals, whether it's a sirloin steak, which is cut from the rear of a cow, or a pork chop, taken from flesh near the spine of a pig. In-vitro meat, however, can be made by placing a few cells in a nutrient mixture that helps them proliferate. As the cells begin to grow together, forming muscle tissue, they are attached to a biodegradable scaffold, just as vines wrap around a trellis. There the tissue can be stretched and molded into food, which could, in theory, at least, be sold, cooked, and consumed like any processed meat—hamburger, for example, or sausage.
"This became my fixation,'' van Eelen continued. "Everything I have done since that day I have done with this goal in mind." After university, van Eelen went to medical school, where he spoke to biologists, research scientists, and anyone else he thought could help. Most people laughed when they heard about his project—in part, perhaps, because van Eelen is more of a scientific enthusiast than a sophisticate. When he told his professors that he wanted to grow meat in a lab, most acted as if it were a prank. But one teacher took him aside. "He said if I was serious I would need to raise money for research,'' van Eelen recalled. He promptly quit his medical studies and went to work. With his wife (an artist, who died many years ago), he ran a series of art galleries and restaurants. The couple funnelled whatever money they managed to save into his odd obsession.
Van Eelen has been chasing his goal ever since, but it took decades for the science to catch up with his imagination. That began to happen in 1981, when stem cells, which can divide almost endlessly and have the ability to develop into many types of tissue, were discovered in mice. Van Eelen recognized the potential immediately, although there was little initial interest in turning muscle cells into meat. By then, he was used to rejection, and he persisted. Finally, in 1999, more than half a century after he attended the lecture that fuelled his quest, he received U.S. and international patents for the Industrial Production of Meat Using Cell Culture Methods. For the first time, serious people began to take him seriously. Pointing to the channel waters outside his window, van Eelen said, "For all those years, there was not one gram of meat made. At times, I wanted to jump right into that river.''
He no longer feels that way, and for good reason: a new discipline, propelled by an unlikely combination of stem-cell biologists, tissue engineers, animal-rights activists, and environmentalists, has emerged in both Europe and the United States. The movement started fitfully but intensified when, in 2001, NASA funded an experiment, led by Morris Benjaminson, that focussed on producing fresh meat for space flights. Benjaminson, a biological engineer at Touro College, in New York, cut strips of flesh from live goldfish and submerged them in a nutrient bath extracted from the blood of unborn cows. Within a week, the fish pieces had grown by nearly fifteen per cent. While the results were not meat, they demonstrated that growing food outside the body was possible. Then, in 2004, after continued lobbying from van Eelen, the Dutch government awarded two million euros to a consortium of universities and research facilities in Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Eindhoven. Though the grant was small, it has helped turn the Netherlands into the in-vitro-meat world's version of Silicon Valley.
