At a rate of 73 percent, voters across the country in 14 states approved 22 measures out of 30 state and local public transportation-related ballot initiatives, authorizing nearly $500 million over the next five years, according to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).
"People understand the importance of having a good public transportation system in their communities," said APTA President William Millar. "That's why, despite the impact of the economic downturn, Americans overwhelmingly voted to improve or initiate public transportation, even though it means additional local or state taxes."
However, not all public transportation ballot initiatives involved raising new funds. Prop 22, a statewide California constitutional amendment that passed by 64 percent, prohibits the state from delaying distribution of local tax revenues for transportation and other services. This measure protects more than $1.8 billion in state and local public transit funding.
Commenting on Prop 22, Millar said, "At a time when many public transportation systems are facing financial challenges, making sure that funds for public transportation are protected and not used for other purposes is very important."
Another noteworthy referendum was passed on Tuesday by the voters of Clayton County, Ga.
Clayton County residents lost all public transportation services earlier this year when the county commission voted to shutter the public transit system. Showing strong support for the value of public transportation, Clayton County voters passed an advisory measure by 70 percent to join with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and to levy a one-cent sales tax to pay for the new service.
Voters in Rhode Island passed a statewide transportation measure by an overwhelming margin of 73 percent. This ballot initiative includes $4.7 million in bonds to purchase and rehabilitate buses for the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.
Residents in Hawaii's city of Oahu voted by 63 percent to create an independent public transportation authority and to move forward with the proposed rail project on the island.
"Throughout the United States, from coast to coast and in the state of Hawaii, voters showed yesterday that they have their priorities straight when it comes to public transportation," said Millar.
According to the Center for Transportation Excellence (CFTE), 21 measures for local public transportation systems were approved earlier this year. Adding yesterday's election totals to this earlier amount means that this year, 43 out of 56 public transportation ballot initiatives were approved at a rate of 77 percent for a total of more than $1 billion.

The Benefits of Door-to-Door Service in ADA Complementary Paratransit Many U.S. transit agencies continue to struggle with the quality of ADA service, the costs, and the difficulties encountered in contracting the service, which is the method of choice for a significant majority of agencies. One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Capital surcharges of as much as 2.5 percentage points on the world's biggest banks will have only a "modest impact" on the economic recovery and may eventually help spur growth, according to global regulators.
The proposals, coupled with other rules to force banks to build up their reserves, will cut economic output by a maximum of 0.34 percent during a transition period, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the Financial Stability Board said in a report yesterday. Longer term, the combined plans will bolster output by as much as 2.5 percent a year because of the reduced risk of financial turmoil.
The permanent benefits from the two measures would be "many times the costs of the reforms in terms of temporarily slower annual growth," the regulators said. Given the "unique role" of systemic banks, "it could be argued" that the report underestimates the initial impact of the measures. "But if this is the case, then the benefits from strengthening their balance sheets, and thereby reducing the risk of a devastating financial crisis, should be greater as well."
Regulators have clashed with lenders including HSBC Holdings Plc, BNP Paribas SA and Citigroup Inc. over the plans, with banks warning that the measures may constrain lending and hurt the economy. Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. has said that the U.S. should consider withdrawing from the Basel committee and that the rules it sets are "anti-American."
The Basel committee agreed to press ahead with the surcharges at a meeting last month, while proposing changes to how they calculate the size of levies individual banks should face. As many as 28 banks may face the extra capital rules, the group has said, without naming the lenders. The FSB endorsed the surcharge plans at a meeting in Zurich last week.
Banks would face surcharges based on their size, interconnectedness, complexity, global reach, and the ability of other firms to take over lenders' functions if they fail. The proposals will be sent by regulators for approval by the Group of 20 countries at a summit on Nov. 3 and 4.
"Additional capital requirements have consequences for the ability of banks to provide support to the real economy," HSBC, Europe's largest bank, said in response to a consultation on the plans by the Basel committee that closed in August. The plans may discourage banks "from facilitating global trade," Citigroup said.
Lenders have also complained that the method for calculating the surcharges has been poorly designed, including that it is too focused on banks' size, while Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has said that the plans could "exacerbate apparent inconsistencies that already exist" between how different banks calculate the capital they must hold.
Tripling of Capital
The surcharge plans come on top of a tripling of minimum capital rules for all internationally active banks, known as Basel III, that was agreed on by the Basel committee last year.
Each one percentage point increase in the amount of capital that big banks have to hold above Basel III will initially lower economic output by "less than one one-hundreth of a percentage point," according to yesterday's report.
Banks in the 27-nation European Union will need to raise an extra 423 billion euros ($578.8 billion) by 2019 to comply with the Basel III requirements, according to an impact study by the European Commission.
Basel III will be phased in between Jan 1. 2013 and 2019, while the Basel group anticipates phasing in the surcharges for the biggest banks between 2016 and the end of 2018.

Boly:Welch helps employees 'get religion' for sustainability
Send this to a friend

Look no further than the trunk of Carie Strahorn's car for an illustration of Boly:Welch's commitment to sustainability.
Each Friday Strahorn loads the company's full compost bin — brimming with avocado peels, sandwich crusts and coffee grinds — and drives it to her house for proper disposal.
Those sorts of efforts helped make Boly:Welch a finalist for sustainable operations in this year's Sustainable Business Oregon awards.
Strahorn isn't even in charge of Boly:Welch's effort to protect the environment. That responsibility goes to Heather Gordon, who heads the company's roughly five-year-old green team.
Other efforts of the team:
- Energy-efficient lighting.
- Rechargeable batteries for office equipment.
- Paying to have computers and other electronic equipment recycled.
- Low-flow toilets.
- Recycled paper products.
- Encouraging the use of public transportation.

The company has made recycling and sustainability a part of each work day. Each worker gets a basket for recycling, but nobody gets a personal garbage can, a strategy that encourages recycling and composting.
The company also bought reusable clam-shell food containers for workers who frequent food carts for lunch.
Each workers also gets a cloth napkin. Another worker takes them home very weekend and washes them.
The company has a communal car — a gas-sipping Nissan Cube — that workers can use for appointments during the day. That means fewer workers need to drive to work.
"Everything Boly:Welch does in regards to their daily routines as well as long-term goals has sustainability at the heart of it," said Debbie Thomas of Debbie Thomas Real Estate, in nominating Boly:Welch for the award. "The protection and support of the environment is at the forefront of everything Boly:Welch does."

Problem with bluetooth headset in gaming
Can anyone solve this puzzle that i've tried few days without any results:
headset: NOKIA BH-604
here is link for further information of headset if it helps:
software for communication: Skype
I can use my Nokia BH-604 bluetooth headset normally for listening music or playing etc. but when I start VoIP call with my friend and try to play, I hear only the call. I tried also to play my MP3s during calling my friend but all I heard was the call.
I solved the problem - at least somehow. Now I can hear all the sounds from headset speakers and mic is working too, but the quality of game audio is terrible. Normally the sound quality is really good with my headset when im just listening music or playing without any communication software.
All sounds works with bad quality when I choose "Bluetooth Hands-free audio" (headset icon / mono) for a main device from sound devices list. But I can communicate with my friend and listen the game sounds.
There is other device "Bluetooth audio renderer" (it's stereo - with headphone icon, not headset icon). If I choose this for main device, sound quality is perfect. But then I can't use Skype with my friend.
And I don't really want to use my speakers for sounds, mic gets ALL sounds from speakers while playing and it's not nice for my friends ears while playing.
I hope you guys can understand what I mean. English is not my native language - maybe you've noticed it

The way I understand it, different Bluetooth functions require different Bluetooth profiles. For example, the high-fidelity stereo profile is A2DP and the headset profile is HSP.
Your Bluetooth device can operate with only one profile at a time.
I know how you feel, I have a Motorola Rokr Bluetooth headset and I was trying to do the same thing, play an online game and talk to my friends using Teamspeak.
The only options are to accept the low audio quality of the HSP profile or use a different headset. I opted for a wired USB headset by Altec Lansing. The bonus there is that Windows XP and above have the drivers for it built in, just plug it in and it works.

I heard there is somekind of possibility to get bluetooth headset working with better quality also, I hope there really is a way to do that. I'm also wondering, why windows won't install bluetooth service "headset" even i check the box. All other services works like a charm.
Might there be a problem with A2DP drivers or something like that?

I know this thread is pritty old, but I think I have som interesting information regarding your problem.
I my self am in the same situation, I have a MM450-X from sennheiser and the sound quality gets really bad while using the microphone when using eg. skype.
But i got it working when paring with a Toshiba laptop!
Crystal clear sound from games while VoIP through skype with my friends. I noticed that Toshiba uses its own driver and also used there own software.
The bottom line is that it's not the hardware or the bluettoth protocolls or software that is the problem. It is how Microsoft Windows default drivers uses the protocolls.
Any one know how to get the Toshiba drivers and software without owning a Toshiba laptop?

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday apartment in El Campello
3 bedroom apartment in centre of El Campello, close to beach and all amenities.
Large 3 bedroom apartment, 1 bathroom with shower and WC, 1 separate WC. Bedroom 1, with double bed, leads onto small balcony shared with living room overlooking street leading down to port. Bedroom 2 has 2 single beds. Bedroom 3, though small, has double bed. Living room with dining table and 3 sofas. Ceiling fans. Fitted kitchen with utility balcony. On second floor of quiet residential block (there is no lift). Just 2 mins walk to Campello's main beach-front paseo and beaches, 2 mins to port, town park, tram station, supermarkets, bars, shops and restaurants. Baker's and Delicatessen opposite. Very near the apartment is a bus stop from where a local bus can be caught into Alicante or to the large sandy beaches of San Juan. By tram the city of Alicante is a short 20 min journey to the south and to the north is a scenic journey through Villajoyosa, Benidorm, Altea and numerous towns & villages all the way to Denia on the north side of the peninsula. A car is not necessary.
What to do in the area: There are numerous activities available. During the summer you can catch the daily ferry from El Campello port to Benidorm or to the small island of Tabarca, where the snorkelling and swimming are excellent.
Terra Mitica Theme Park is a 20 minute drive away, near Benidorm, where there is also Terra Natura, a safari park, and Agua Natura water park. Aqualandia water park and Mundomar animal park are great days out for the family.
If you have a car, there are numerous scenic drives to mountain villages. A good place for buying souvenirs and for beautiful scenery is the village of Guadalest, 30 mins away. A new solar boat trip around the reservoir is another attraction there. There are many footpaths for walking in the mountains and birdwatching. The Caves of Canelobre, in the village of Busot, are approx. 6km away from Campello and the waterfalls of the Fonts D'Algar a 30 min drive.
The Tourist Information Office of El Campello is 50 metres from the apartment and open all year round.
Birdwatching, Walking: There are many sites of interest to birdwatchers and nature lovers in the province of Alicante and beyond, the owners can give advice and suggestions on places to visit. Winter, spring and autumn are ideal for walking in the Costa Blanca and there is beautiful scenery to be explored just a few kilometres inland.
Local Culture: The Moors and Christian fiestas are held in nearly every village and town throughout the area. Campello's own is in the month of October, but you can usually find one somewhere at any time of the year. The local Campello Fisherman's fiesta is in July.
For cheap tasty tapas, the Old Town of Benidorm has a wealth of small bars where, in the evening, you can have a glass of wine and tapa for 1€ and watch the locals doing the same.
Alicante city is well worth visiting for shopping, promenading, visiting the castle and port area and to get a taste of real Spain.

Phil Mahone has been in enough big tournaments over the years to know that if he's trailing going into Sunday, his experience will allow him to hang around and possibly steal a win.
That's what happened at Meadowcreek Sunday as Mahone overcame a five-stroke deficit to win his third City Championship in a three-hole playoff.
Mahone topped Richard Morelle and Hunter Weaver, who held a two-stroke lead over Morelle and a five-shot advantage over Mahone going into the day.
"I kind of hung around," Mahone explained. "Hunter had a big lead. I think he got up eight shots on me. I made a little comeback and really I was lucky to win because he let me back in there. So I felt like if I could hang around you never know. And that's what happened."
Weaver actually increased his lead to three shots over Morelle and seven over Mahone ater shooting a 34 on the front nine, but fell apart down the stretch with three bogeys and two double-bogeys for a 42.
Mahone, conversely, shot a 35 on the back half and Morelle countered with a 38 to force a three-way playoff.
Weaver and Mahone each made par on the first playoff hole, 16, while Morelle bogeyed. Mahone then made the only birdie of the playoff on 17 while Morelle made par and Weaver bogeyed. Morelle then birdied 18 while Mahone and Weaver made par, which was enough to give Mahone the victory.
Matt Wade (4th) and Mike Schick (5th) rounded out the top five.

Patient Comments: Asthma - Effective Treatments
What kinds of treatments have you received for your asthma?
Comment from: Hope, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: July 16
I have had asthma all my life and for the most part it was under control until I was in my early 30's but still I did relatively well after having been on Asmanex for a short time along with my Albuterol inhaler, but since they have changed it to HFA in the last year I have not been able to sustain a decent pattern of breathing. It seems that I have to use my inhaler much more regularly whereas before I could go days without it, and now I am back to using my inhaler daily up to 4 times a day. Something about this new medication and not having CFC or having HFA in it instead has definitely made it harder for me to have stability in my breathing.
Comment from: 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 02
I've had asthma for 6 ½ years since the age of 29. It is usually triggered by respiratory infections. Sometimes changes in weather. Whenever the kids get a cold, I end up sick even with handwashing or sanitizer's. I have a neb. at home for when I get sick. The Xopenex works somewhat with Pulmicort. Live on Albuterol I am on daily lose dose prednisone and Advair. Prednisone is a double edged sword. The side effects of pred. are hard to deal with.
Comment from: 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: June 02
The information has been really helpful. I am actually printing it out and giving it to my boss because he yelled at me for having an asthma attack in a check stand and thought I had been faking problems previously that week.
Comment from: 55-64 Female Published: April 06
My daughter, who never had asthma as a child, but became a very severe asthmatic in her adult years, has tried a very unusual remedy. We are all in amazement at the results of her treatment. Once a month she sees a chiropractor gets adjusted and is now off of 2 inhalers in addition to a pill. She is doing remarkably well and has been off of medication for at least 1 year now.
Comment from: Grand-moogi, 35-44 Male Published: March 12
My son (37yr old) seems to have a choice. Either take his migraine tablets and suffer asthma or take the asthma medication and put up with the migraines. I have told him to go back to the doctor. His asthma is dreadful. You can't hold a conversation with him because of it. He takes Symbicort for asthma and Inderal for migraines.
Comment from: robyn, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 15
I have been using Albuterol for the last 4/5 years. I notice about 2 years ago that the new atomizer I had just received did not seem to be as effective as far a getting the mist into my lungs. Seems the propellant has been changed and the main propellant in Albuterol these days is alcohol! Being a recovering alcoholic I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced alcohol cravings after using the inhaler. I have 10 years sobriety and notice after using my inhaler I get the old cravings back.
Comment from: 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: October 15
Ventolin inhalers are good for short term relief; I have found that prednisolone is good for more severe breath loss (30mg/day staged down to 20mg/day over 5 days.
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 16
What has worked for me is Symbicort and Singulair. It has reduced the thick mucus from my lungs. Furthermore it helped a lot to leave the university hospital's (concrete horror) fungus and antibiotics infested air (worked there). Now I work in an old brick built hospital from 1913 and the air is so much better. My lungs refuse smoke of any kind: scouts fire or a chimney whatever. Sadly I had to leave a REM concert due to others smoking cigarettes. I was coughing and wheezing, although it is forbidden by law to smoke inside in public places here in Denmark.
Comment from: Lawrence, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: September 16
I would like to know if there is a specialty clinic in Toronto Canada for asthma and/or related problems. My GP is giving me a med which is not helping in extreme situations and I would like to explore alternatives

caramelized onions in a crock pot
- j
- jeff Nov 3, 2005 10:26 PM
Has anyone tried doing caramelized onions in a crock pot? If so, how do they turn out and what is your recipe?
Caramelized onions would be ruined in a crock pot.
They have to cook in a large skillet with a lot of evaporation surface so the moisture doesn't fall back on them.
It is very time consuming to constantly stir over low heat, but the results are worth the effort.
I did this per the directions someone posted here last fall, I think. Sliced up the onions, filled the crockpot to the very top, put a stick of butter on top and went to bed. It worked great. They were fantastic, although I didn't get a chance to use them on much cause I just kept eating them out of the container. I can't remember the details as far as exact times and weights. Try a search.
re: Bobfrmia
This is what I do too (and I may even have posted it on here a while ago).
They turn out great, especially considering how little effort is involved.
re: Bobfrmia
I have the same problem!! can't keep from dipping them out of the skillet, one or two at a time, so I always start out with twice as much as I need! LOL
I just bought "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" and it has a couple of recipes for French Onion Soup in it, and the cookbook says it carmelizes onions beautifully. I don't have it with me, and I just got it last night, so I don't know much other than that! So far, it's an awesome cookbook from the looks of it... I've only gotten through the soups and porridges sections!
Very simply, slice as many onions as will fit in your crock pot. I use a mandoline for this and cut them thin. Put in 1/4 cup butter or oil and put on low for 5-15 hours. Times will vary from crock pot to crock pot. Sometimes they are a bit watery at the end and I leave the lid off for the last hour. They are fantastic and so easy to do (though they take awhile). They seem to last forever in the fridge and freezer too.
Despite the worries noted here, they are golden brown and delicious. Its the only way I do them now.
re: Msk
I'm going to try your method. When you say they last forever in the fridge, how long do you mean? Like a couple of weeks? Do you just store them as is is a plastic container? I don't understand why you uncover them the last hour, as I've never heard of using a slow cooker uncovered. is that to evaporate water, or to brown them?
In the interests of research, I did a batch long-cooked in a very slow oven for I forget how long exactly, 12 hours I think (no crock-pot) and a batch in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Both were good, but did not taste the same. The long-cooked ones had an almost winy flavor and were a trifle wet; the skillet version was sort of sweeter. I'd use the long-cooked for soup and similar dishes, but for, say, topping pizza or making onion dip, I'll stick with the skillet version. (Note that the slow-cooked version did not cook for 24 hours--that may well produce a different result.)
re: Aromatherapy
thanks for putting in the time! I will try the crock pot and the oven, but my heart will always be with the skillet
Below is a picture of a recent batch. They cooked for about 22 hours.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a student a Roosevelt Middle and I think it is a great school.It has excellent teachers and staff members.They also have excellent programs.So parents if you read this I want to recommend this school for your child
great school, great teachers. I graduated on 2002. ESL program is the best. sadly I moved to the North in NJ schools are not the same here.
I didnt realize just how good this school really was until I had other schools to compare it to . My children were moved into honors classes when we enrolled them into the new school. They were fully prepared for the new school year .My only regret is that I didnt just drive the the 15 miles every day instead of changing schools.
My child was very satisfied at roosevelt with the principal and the assistant principal in the 2005-2006 school year, 'the teachers are the best ever' said, my child I want to go to roosevelt for 6th,7th,and 8th grades I love Mrs.Russo and Mrs.Brower
Hi im a student who goes to roosevelt it is such a great school its clean have great teachers.They have such a great esl program for the spanish people who do not know english since they have a lot of spanish people at roosevelt .Im part spanish and part white all of the people on my mothers side who are spanish they came from Pureto Rico and Honduras.

The next chapter in the ongoing negotiations between a major Omaha insurance and health care provider unfolds.
At the Embassy Suits in downtown Omaha Thursday night, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska hosted one of several town hall meetings planned throughout the state. What BCBS executives told WOWT 6 News is that contract negotiations boil down to health care costs getting too high.
"Over time Alegent Creighton facilities here in Omaha and their physicians have just gotten well above the market, today they are 10 to 30% above where other providers in the city are," Lee Handke, Sr. V.P. of Network Services within BCBS of Nebraska said. Handke said his company is hemorrhaging $60 M in excess costs.
We also heard from the average attendee who told us they are afraid of falling through the cracks during this process.
The latest response from Alegent Creighton Health and UniNet: "We actually believe this is about the physician rates, which they have been vocal in their complaint about all along. UniNet offered to freeze physician rates, UniNet offered to extend the existing contract so that a new agreement could be worked out, but blue cross blue shield chose to terminate the agreement."
One aspect that is under concern is mental healthcare in Omaha. Handke said Alegent Creighton Health is a major provider of mental health coverage in Omaha, specifically with Lasting Hope Recovery Center. Handke told WOWT 6 News there are talks to make a separate, direct agreement to maintain mental health coverage.
WOWT 6 News was told BCBS of Nebraska and Alegent Creighton Health were meeting at the negotiation table two to three times a week.

I was just thinking(yehr right...) the other day. On my webpage I have a discussionforum. The database keeps track of the total number of posts and the number of headline-posts("toplevel threads"). And when I add a new post I use these numbers for identification of the posts.
This poses the following problem:
When I retrieve the numbers from the database and when I add the post to the database there could be the possibility that another php-thread(ie. another user) does the same thing. And then the numbers will change before the new post is inserted into the database and the numbers will be wrong.
Should I do anything to prevent this myself, or does MySQL do some sort of mutual exclusion itself?
My thoughts on solving the problem are:
1. Make some sort of semaphore-based exclusive right access system.
2. Write the whole databse command in one line to MySQL and hope that it only make one request at a time.
Am I shooting birds with cannons here?(can you even say that in english?? :)
And whats the best solution(read: the most easy to implement!)?

I need 3 restaurant recommendations...
1-seafood restaurant for lunch preferably overlooking the water.
2-romantic Italian restaurant for dinner
3-hangover lunch the next day (ie:cheeseburgers)
re: PinchOfSalt
Were staying downtown so anywhere nearby or a short T/cab ride is fine. Price doesn't matter-it's an anniversary weekend and I'm marginally familiar with the area. We're staying at the intercontinental downtown.9
Neptune Oyster on Salem Street for Lunch. I can't think of any restaurant on the water in Boston that I would go to on purpose.
Romantic Italian dinner, Mamma Maria's North End
Cheese burger - the Bristol Lounge at the Four Seasons.
Neptune Oyster
63 Salem St Ste 1, Boston, MA 02113
Bristol Lounge
200 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116
Waterfront view is a compromise in Boston; there are always better places without a view. So I concur with Neptune as a first choice, but if you need that view, I'd recommend Rowes Wharf Sea Grill at the Boston Harbor Hotel, just a couple of blocks from your hotel. It doesn't suck.
Many options for romantic Italian in Boston. I like the Mamma Maria rec, too: see if you can request the two-person dining room overlooking North Square. It's white tablecloth Northern Italian, a little stuffy and expensive, but reliable. Another option that's a little less formal and pricey is Carmen, also in the North End, a brick-walled enoteca with a more Southern-leaning menu.
Tough to beat The Bristol for a classy hangover brunch, even if the burger is $20. Another option is to cab to the South End, which is brunch central in Boston. A few places there offer fine burgers on their brunch menus (as well as good eye-openers), including Coda Bar & Kitchen, Pops Restaurant, and The Gallows (which does a nice brunch patty melt).
Mamma Maria Restaurant
3 North Sq, Boston, MA 02113
Neptune could fit both 1 and 3. The burger with fried oysters is one of my favorite hangover lunches.
re: C. Hamster
Thank you!
re: hiddenboston
The 75 Chestnut burger is a pale imitation of its former (pre-remodeling) self.
I'm sorry, I've been on this soapbox before, but I really don't think the 75 Ches burger is worth recommending! It's OK, I've had it several times and maybe get it again. But even Harvard Gardens' burger is better (in the same neighborhood). Admittedly, I had 75's pre-remodeling version, and that was fantastic, so maybe it colors my opinion of the current version.
Neptune for seafood is my first choice.
Mama Maria is very romantic and quiet. I also like Marco. It is a little more modern than the others, and cute and quaint.
Uburger would be my first choice for hangover food. Great burgers and homemade french fries, and think shakes.
re: STL BOS
Thanks dor the suggestions. Everything I read about mamma Maria seems positive and that it is worth the price. Agreed?
re: Teraesa22
I don't think you'll find universal acclaim here for Mamma Maria. I think a lot of Chowhounds find it a bit stiff, not so innovative, and pricey for what it is. If you understand what it is going in, I think you'll be satisfied.
Mamma Maria Restaurant
3 North Sq, Boston, MA 02113
re: MC Slim JB
What would be your recommendation for a place a little less stiff?
re: Teraesa22
I do like Marco on Hanover street. And, if you would like to do the pure food choice, Trattoria Toscano on Jersey street in the Fenway. That will be like a short trip to Tuscany in the middle of your Boston Trip.
Trattoria Toscana
130 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215
253 Hanover St., 2nd Flr., Boston, MA 02113
re: BostonZest
Just note that it's Trattoria Toscana (with an "a"), not to be confused with the much pricier and far less interesting Toscano Restaurant on Beacon Hill. And it's a great recommendation.
If you wanted to stay in the North End for Italian, my favorites there include Prezza, Marco and Taranta, all of which take reservations.
Trattoria Toscana
130 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215
re: Beachowolfe
neptune's is not romantic and does not take reservations so be aware that you can expect to wait if you're coming on a weekend. If you don't want to wait, Island Creek Oyster Bar would be my choice. re: Italian, Mamma Maria is definitely romantic. not so romantic but perhaps more innovative: prezza, via matta, erbaluce. There are lots of posts on whose hamburger gets the win: I'd go to Radius or Sel de la Terre but you should check the board for the burger discussions.
Mamma Maria Restaurant
3 North Sq, Boston, MA 02113
Sel de la Terre
774 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02199
re: teezeetoo
Neptune is my favorite restaurant in the North End, and my favorite seafood restaurant in Boston, It just happens to be in the North End, They will take your phone number after you put your name on the list and call you when your table is ready. You can take a short stroll down the street in either directions and grab a drink and sit down while you wait. I have never waited longer than 45 minutes.
re: Beachowolfe
I agree with the Sorellina recommendation for fancy/romantic Italian. It's certainly not authentic, but quite delicious. Mamma Maria is a great choice too for food/romance and it certainly has food that is more of what people think of when they think Italian.
Mamma Maria Restaurant
3 North Sq, Boston, MA 02113
1 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02116
Ignore the North End for Italian and go to Erbaluce in the Back Bay/Theater district. But definitely do Neptune for lunch. Toro's burger is great (get it messy) plus they have a few of their standards on the lunch menu (corn on the von, patatas bravas, etc).
1704 Washington St, Boston, MA 02118
69 Church Street, Boston, MA 02116
re: BeanTownGolfer
Erbulace's atmosphere is not romantic whatsoever per the OPs criteria.
re: Gabatta
Isn't that subjective? Quiet dining room, low light, candles on the table and great food and wine. I'd say the atmosphere is on par with Marco and most in the north end, plus the menu is a little more thought out. You probably won't see your typical tomato and mozarella salad, tuna tartare, red sauce.
Besides, when you're looking for a romantic place are you really going to be staring at the artwork on the walls?
re: BeanTownGolfer
I was talking commenting on the room and OP's request for romantic, not the food.
Certainly it is subjective, and IMO the room at Erbulace is clearly it's weakest point. The bar has a hint of cozy atmosphere, however the dining room is like eating in a finished basement. I don't consider it romantic at all. If the OP wants romantic, I think Erbulace is just a bad steer. YMMV
re: BeanTownGolfer
I agree that Erbaluce has amazing food, one of my favorite Italians in Boston, a unique and original take on Northern Italian cuisine. I also agree that the dining room is on the plain side.
69 Church Street, Boston, MA 02116
Does it have to be just italian? How about Italian, Greek, Lebanese, Turkish, and Moroccan?
OLEANA in Cambridge is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in the country, not just boston.
Depends on what you're looking for.
If by seafood you mean the city's best clam chowder, some of its best friend calamari, and perfectly cooked fish, I hate to say it, but Legal Sea Foods (a chain of all things) is actually amazing. The clam chowder is a special knockout - been served to 4 presidents, wins all the awards, etc.
As for Italian, I can't say much - it's not my thing here.
A Hangover lunch, though, for cheeseburgers. We don't have many good cheeseburger joints in the city open during that time, but try Toro. It's open for lunch only during weekdays, and it serves its small 5 oz. burger only during that lunchtime. It's the city's best tapas bar, too, meaning that if you get sick of burgers, you can always snack on a couple extras at the same time.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Great Jobs Weberr!
Reviews: 4
i use it on my fireworks website and the component installed perfectly had to change some language text but no problem.
it has no errors / bugs so far i seen.
5 stars, great e-card component
Reviews: 9
And it works right out of the box, just as you need it to do.
For me it lost few points in the customization. The template and css for the views are not quite well done. But if it comes from a pure developer then i am not surprised ;)
But the most important is that it works great.
cheers for that extension
if an ecard extension is what you need, this a must-have!!
Quick note to other newbies - make sure the categories and cards have descriptions and titles. Also, make sure permissions are set correctly on images.
Thanks again.
Now that the component works fine on my website, I'm more than pleased with it.
Bravo Ralf!
The only tip for new users: make sure your categories have cards in them. If you have any empty categories, the program might not show on the front end. Other than that little discovery, I had no difficulty installing and using RWCards. It's very nice, looks great, and very easy to use.
I make the ECards from photos that my users contribute, so it's also a community project. If you're using Jomsocial, there's a "userpoints" hack for RWCards in the Jomsocial support forums that gives userpoints when the RECEIVER of the Ecard goes to read it on your site.
RWCards can also work like an Invitation system. I created one category with invitations to my site, which any of my users can send to their friends. And, get userpoints!
I'm very pleased with RWCards. It turned out to be much more flexible and useful than I expected. Very, very nice!!

Nov 9, 2011This live album is great, it really seems to rival Bullet In A Bible somewhat. It has a great set list made up of some of Green Day's newer songs & some of the greatest older Green Day songs. If you're gonna buy this anywhere, make sure it includes the bonus tracks because hearing "Christie Road" once again & with a little kick of newer Green Day styling was simply amazing.… Full Review »
Apr 9, 2012An OK album with some of Green Day's good songs, but overall it's just a collection of live performances and you're better off just getting one of their studio albums. It still has good songs, but they're all songs you already have if you have their studio albums (with the exception of Cigarettes and Valentines which can be found for free online.… Full Review »
Nov 10, 2011Awesome as **** The songs are active and inane, but teasing America in some way. All of green day's famous songs such as "American Idiot" or "Holiday" is here. A great **** to listen and as always, Greenday's punk rock got me again :)… Full Review »

Shame on Rex for not being able to beat three SB winning QBs on the road in a row! Let's name the coaches who have . . .
Wait, there are none.
Printable View
He focus nothing on offense, and his picks on D are well below average. Again, I believe he pushed Tanny on several picks, cuts , waivers etc.
But he was loyal to his favorite QB and never bothered to really give anyone else much of a chance. Nor did he try to get a real QB to give Sanchez competition to make him better. The Tebow move is curious at best. Its not all on WRECKS but he is not as great as some make him out to be. The team came out FLAT in Pittsburgh after we beat NE a few years ago in the playoffs. We have not been much since then.
As far as offense goes, you still need talented players to "develop." You can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****. Outside of Sanchez, I believe Stephen Hill is the only offensive player drafted in the first two rounds. And you can rip on Rex for not "developing" Sanchez, but it's well established that QBs with only one year starting experience in college bust.
Again: surprise, surprise: You knew that QBs with only one year starting experience in college " bust" in the NFL. How come WRECKS did not know that and drafted the guy ?
Rex has plenty of faults...... Plenty.
If you burn the house, you don't get to excuse the rain.

Planning on running a cycle starting April 1 and was wondering which usually provides greater gains. I have a bottle and a half of h-drol from a cycle I ran last year but had to stop due to the flu but considering picking up some e-stane (or maybe some havoc) instead. D-zine also an option.
My goal is pretty much a recomp before a upcoming cruise in June...
Thanks in advance.....

Keeping everyone safe on the road is part of the job of all local law enforcement, so when a public safety officer in Michigan pulled over a young driver and saw that her child wasn't strapped into a safety seat, he acted.

Book Description
I'm Nick Carraway from the Middle West. I were learning at Yale in Connecticut and was graduated in 1915, then I had to go to the Great War. After my returning to the motherland, I determined to go East and study the finance. My father was helping me with money at first. I had plans to stay there for a long time, to work and became success, but indeed I left the city after the summer. I arrived to New York in spring of 1922. It already very warm, hot and uncomfortable. I found a tiny cheap house not far from New York, near the country of West Egg. My house was on Long Island, near the sea. It stood between two enormous houses that had been built for millionaires. One of the nearest houses of my one had a swimming pool and was surrounded by fancy gardens. It was the house of mysterious Gatsby. And this is story about him, but for that time, of course, I knew nothing about him yet.

Love this eyeliner. Fairly inexpensive, long lasting, good pigmentation, easy to find at pretty much any drugstore. What more could you ask for? Oh, and did I mention it's only about $5 CDN?
The only thing is that I'm not a huge fan of the brush, I prefer the solid sponge type and this liner has more of a thin, long soft bristles, brush. But, that's all personal preference.

This eyeliner smudged so quickly on me. I didn't like it and would not repurchase. For its price, it was worth a try with all the good reviews here on MUA and the recommendations my friends kept giving me. I was told this was smudgeproof but it isn't. I tried both the waterproof and non-waterproof and neither stayed at all.
Note: I have very oily and hooded eyelids. My usual routine pre-eyeliner is a primer and a neutral skin-color eyeshadow base. This helps my eyeliners stay longer but this WnW liquid liner did not want to play friendly with my usual routine.
It's ok. Color is not very dark. Need to put a couple of coats. Will not last all day.

so glad i found this i love it. stays on all day and easy to use ;)
So I recently wrote a review on the H2O liner from this brand. I really like it but because it is waterproof (read hard to get off), it would get on my eyelashes and make it hard to put my mascara on. Maybe it's operator error. But sometimes it's hard enough to put on liquid eyeliner so I don't want to have to try to not touch any eyelash because that will just frustrate me. So duh duh da da, I have the same pigmentation and ease of use with this liner. Very black and easy to use. I have the black one (obviously :)) and the brown one. The brown one is also very dark. Do not expect it to show as brown, it's just not as dark as the black one. Love and will definitely repurchase. Why pay more? Especially when my bank account is already screaming for mercy from the holiday shopping...

Omg creates amazing wings! Love the brush, the matte color but mostly the price! I was wearing Loreal telescopic before this and it costs 3x more! So glad I find this as I wear winged eyes almost every day!
UM. My favourite of them all. Honestly, it glides on like a dream. The formula isn't gloopy and the pigmentation is great. If I make a mistake, just take a finger and like wipe a small section off before it dries and it comes right off! But after it dries it stays on almost. After a long day it might start coming off, but through school time, it says put for the 7 hours. <3
Packaging is kind of ugly but who the hell cares. 8)

Holy grail eyeliner. None I have ever tried compares to this. Easy to use, easy to remove, last all day and is super cheap. My sister is a makeup artist for Lancome and has access to all kinds of more expensive liners and she even uses it. Love this eyeliner and can't say enough good about it.

I first discovered this eyeliner four years ago and have not switched since. It is great, a wonderful bargain, and is easy to apply and create nice, smooth strokes. I made the mistake of buying the waterproof version of this eyeliner...never again! I wanted to try the waterproof version because despite my love for this eyeliner, it does fade off after a few hours, but it is packaged in such a small container that you can easily carrying it around and reapply when you need to. I also didn't like that it never came in extremely dark black, which may just be from where I bought it at Dollar General and they only had one color available. Its a really great product and I would defiantly recommend it.
I like this stuff as far as liquid liner goes. It's very opaque with just one swipe and the brush is thin enough to make a small line if that's what you're going for. However, the packaging is a little wonky and I feel like you have to keep dipping back into the little pot for more product because you run out quickly, yet if you don't wipe off one side of your brush, you'll have way too much. It does dry matte, which is what I like, but it takes a reeeeeally long time to dry. I would estimate a couple of minutes. And for someone like me, it's hard to sit there with your eyes shut or looking down for a full two minutes. It does stick around though! Doesn't flake and it stays a thick black line for a long time. So y'know, like all liquid liners, there are pros and cons, but this is one of the better ones!
