- Is Freebord dangerous? Can I "catch an edge"?
- How much do they cost?

- What if I need replacement parts?
Freebord's simulation of snowboarding is the result of years of mechanical development and prototypes. The two center wheels function as the base of a snowboard and allow motion in all directions. The outer four wheels function as a snowboard's edges and sit slightly off the ground. The result is that you can selectively apply your weight to your edges or your base, determining whether to carve or slide or any combination of those two motions.
Riding a Freebord looks easy, but it's not. As a beginner, you have to commit to the idea that you're snowboarding on pavement (not skateboarding). Just like learning to snowboard, it may take several days or weeks to get the hang of it even if you rip on snow. Prior experience in other boardsports, particularly snowboarding, speeds the learning process. See the Learn to Ride section of our website for more details.
Freebording is extremely dangerous. It's important to remember to always keep your weight on your uphill edge while riding. Dropping the downhill edge will cause you to "catch an edge", forcing the board to an abrupt stop and making you fall hard. Also, never ride on center wheels only. The board will be unstable and may slide out from under you. Please read this Safety Warning before purchasing or riding a Freebord.
Visit the Freebord Store online to see pricing on complete boards, hardware and decks.
Check out our Find A Store list for stores in Switzerland.
Freebord is designed for downhill riding and doesn't ride the same as a conventional longboard. As a result, it's not great for pushing long distances in the flats. Although the center wheels cannot be removed from the truck baseplate, riders can adjust their center wheel height to decrease the amount of rocker on the board.
Definitely. Freebord carves and slides exactly like a snowboard so it teaches and reinforces the weighting and edging skills needed on the snow. Freebord is also an excellent tool for learning how to snowboard in advance of ever hitting the slopes-saving you those first few days of brutal falls.
Freebord decks come in a variety of lengths and widths; 75, 77, 80, 83, and 85. Appropriate board length is determined by the rider's height and stance width. Riders with large shoe sizes can opt for our 85 decks. Check out a sizing chart here.
What are the differences between the Complete Board Packages and how do I know which one should I get?
See the Choosing Your Setup section of our website.
Yes, every Freebord package comes with S2 Bindings. These bindings are designed for fast and easy exiting. They also provide increased control and leverage in your turns.
That all depends on where you are and what you're getting. You can get an exact shipping price from the online Freebord Store – just add the items to your cart, enter your shipping details at checkout and click apply. See the Shipping section of the store for more details.
Read our Return Guidelines here.
Read our Warranty Policy here.
A good Freeborder knows that taking care of your equipment is essential to riding well. That's why regular tune-ups for your board are a must. The harder you shred, the more often you may need to replace parts and fine tune your hardware. We sell all kinds of replacement parts and components on the online Freebord Store. See the Assembly and Tuning section of our website for instructions.

The translucent tableware of Galleria Primavera
With its chandeliers and shells and dishwasher-safe table mats, its gleaming orange porcelain boxes (and on and on), Galleria Primavera definitely won me over.
That said, I guess I always enjoy spending time in teeny tiny boutiques; they tend to feel like labors of love from eclectic, passionate curators.

The History Club meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month in the upstairs meeting room at 7pm, if you wish to come along please use the side door when Youth Club is on and check the calendar page as there are no meetings in some winter months.
The Gwynedd Family History Society – Cymdeithas Hanes Teuluoedd, – has been compiling a record of memorial inscriptions in local churchyards. The History Club was asked to help with this task. It is thanks to Ilona Sewell and David Roberts that the recording of information from St-Ann's churchyard has almost been completed in draft form. The task was not easy and they were hampered by midges, wasps and dense overgrown brambles. Congratulations to Ilona and David on their perseverance and a successful result. The last two meetings of the Club have been spent transferring the data gathered from the gravestones onto individual family files, which record the families who lived in Mynydd from the 1841 Census to the 1901 census.
The Three Chapels of Mynydd Llandegai
Peniel – Wesleyan. In 1846 Peniel Chapel was built on land leased from the Penrhyn estate for £250. In 1871 it was rebuilt at a cost of £448. In 1899 it was again renewed and a schoolroom added, this time costing £676. The chapel seated 208. The original lease was for 30 years at a ground rent of 5 shillings. From 1871 the 40 year lease was at a ground rent of 10 shillings.
Hermon – Calvinist Methodist. In 1846 Capel Hermon was built at a cost of £350 and rebuilt in 1875 for £600. The chapel seated 450. The land was again leased from the Penrhyn Estate. The addition of a Minister's House cost £2650.
Amana – Congregationalist. According to the Capel Amana Record Book, the chapel was built in 1845 at a cost of £196 – 10s – 6d. In 1853 and 1868 it was improved and enlarged to seat 340. In 1897 the House and Vestry cost £656 – 11s – 2½ d. The annual ground rent paid to the Penrhyn Estate was again 5 shillings.

As a rule, cream-of-tomato SOUP is popular with every one. Besides being pleasing to the taste, it is comparatively high in food value, because its basis is cream Sauce. However, the tomatoes themselves add very little else besides flavor and mineral salts.
(Sufficient to Serve Four)
- 1 c. canned tomatoes
- 1 pt. milk
- 3 Tb. flour
- 3 Tb. butter
- 1/8 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Force the tomatoes through a sieve and heat them. Make white Sauce of the milk, flour, and butter. Add the soda to the tomatoes, and pour them slowly into the white Sauce, stirring rapidly. If the Sauce begins to curdle, beat the SOUP quickly with a rotary egg beater. Add the salt and pepper and serve.

text: Galerie Berinson newly housed in an apartment of a historic Gründerzeit building in Charlottenburg. Gonzalez Haase AAS, which designed the interior of the former gallery in Kreuzberg, has travelled west with them. With its parquet floors, stucco-work molding around the ceilings, and a pre-modern floorplan, the new venue is a radically different space than Berinson's open loft-format from before. To contrast the old-fashioned feel, the architects have remodeled the space with a sense of rigor, simplicity, and clarity. All the built-in walls that weren't a part of the building's load-bearing structure were removed, creating an even circulation through the gallery. At the head of its main hallway is an office space with an exposed storage area; along the hall's other side are entrances to the three exhibition spaces. In line with the architectural concept, the original connections between these exhibition rooms – double doors in the middle of the walls – have been closed up and replaced by neutral openings. Finally, a system of cool lighting from bold, metallic track fixtures is installed in strict parallel to the main axis of the apartment, two in the hallway and two running through the exhibition rooms. These additions are of a characteristic style for Gonzalez and Haase, and serve to unify Galerie Berinson's new home: the fixtures become a part of the architecture itself, separating and organizing space through their form, size and design.

Unfinished stadiums, outdated infrastructure and violent street protests have overshadowed the Confederations Cup "dress rehearsal" for the 2014 World Cup. Still, organizers in Brazil have put on a show of optimism.
It was a 10 cent increase in the price of bus tickets that started the street protests, which accompanied the entire Confederations Cup.
Protesters voiced their anger at a government that spends billions on international sports events, while funding for public transport, health and education are sadly lacking.
While Brazil's infrastructure is in need of urgent modernization, Confederations Cup host cities had been looking for short-term solutions, such as special bus lanes to the stadiums or closing schools and government offices on match days in order to reduce the traffic and the impact on tourists.
But that again meant making daily life more difficult for the cities' inhabitants - and it didn't really work.
"I was told that it took some people four to five hours to get to the stadium," said Oliver Seitz, a marketing director of German origin who is employed by Brazilian club Coritiba.
Seitz noted that several journalists complained that Internet access was down during the Confederations Cup matches and they couldn't report from inside the sports venue.
"There have been quite a few problems, but it is better to encounter them now, than in one year's time at the World Cup."
But Seitz remained optimistic: "I believe that the problems have been identified now and there is enough time to solve them," he concluded.
Small problems too
Some of those solvable problems involve preparing training facilities for extreme weather. During the Confederations Cup Uruguay's training ground was flooded by rain.
Sports commentator Martin Curi moved to Rio de Janeiro from Germany ten years ago.
He does not doubt the ability of the Brazilian World Cup committee to get everything ready on time for the start of the tournament next year, pointing to what he has identified as a Brazilian characteristic: Leaving everything to the last minute.
"They manage to organize Carnival ever year; they've hosted the Pope and have organized a concert of the Rolling Stones which drew an audience of one million. I don't understand why people are so skeptical that they'll manage to organize the World Cup," he said.
Curi, who has written a book entitled "Brazil – Land of Football" went to watch and report on several Confederations Cup matches.
"Here and there I saw a few walls that hadn't been painted yet and some of the lavatories were not in operation yet, but those are small things," he said.
Ahead of the World Cup in Germany in 2006, he recalled, no one voiced security concerns, but rather about whether or not there would be a real party atmosphere.
The atmosphere during the Confederations Cup was a bit too calm for football fan Martin Curi. "The Brazilian fans at the Confed Cup were a bit of a let-down," he said. "That's probably because the most passionate football fans couldn't afford the ticket prices."
Social unrest a major concern
Considering the protests and demonstrations that marred the tournament, observers agree that the security risk outside the stadiums on the streets is the greatest risk.
Many feel that the police tactics were heavy-handed and not conducive to de-escalation. Martin Curi witnessed police attacks on peaceful demonstrators in Salvador ahead of the Brazil-Mexico match. "Without any obvious reason, police started firing teargas at people," he recalled.
"Even if there is no social unrest alongside the World Cup next year, I'm still worried how the police will deal with the potentially incendiary atmosphere of South American derbies; for example, if Brazil comes up against Argentina or Uruguay," said Seitz.
Whether the events surrounding the Confederations Cup have led to fresh plans to defuse possible tensions next year remains to be seen.
The 2013 Confederations Cup was marked by mass protests across Brazil. From a sporting perspective, however, there were many memorable moments that gave fans good reason to look forward to the World Cup. (30.06.2013)
Protests, pacts, plebiscites: The Brazilian government has reacted to mass demonstrations with landmark promises of reform. But not all of the proposals are actually new. (28.06.2013)

Even in her last days as FLOTUS, Michelle Obama is still fierce! The first lady, 52, wore black separates with silver zipper details on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, January 11.
For her appearance, Mrs. Obama chose a Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci black crepe jersey jacket and skirt. The topper featured an asymmetrical hem and silver zippers along the front and arms. Her fluted hem skirt, paired with Jimmy Choo Romy 85 silver mirror-leather pointy-toe pumps, also had a similar zipper that traced the side.
During the show, FLOTUS opened up about President Barack Obama's touching farewell address in Chicago on January 10. Michelle and the couple's oldest daughter, Malia, were visibly moved during the speech. "It is [getting emotional]. It's nuts. I feel like crying right now. I didn't think that it was going to be that emotional because it's like, 'Yeah, we're ready. Yeah, we're good. It's been eight years. Eight years is enough. We're packing up,'" she revealed. "But no, it has been surprisingly emotional for all of us in ways that we didn't expect."
But it wasn't all tears! With the help of Jimmy Fallon, FLOTUS penned a funny thank-you note to her husband. "Thank you, Barack, for proving you're not a lame duck but my very own silver fox," part of her fictional open letter read. "I'm angling for a good gift."

OK…that was ugly. In a very un-Patriot like performance, New England choked up an 11 point lead with under four minutes to play. Rodney Harrison and Tom Brady each made inexcusable errors, and the Miami defense picked Brady off four times. Well, now maybe this is the chance to see if the Michael Gee theory has any validity. We'll keep this brief, game stories: Nick Cafardo…Michael Felger…Tom E Curran…Alan Greenberg…Chris Kennedy and Michael Parente. Things were so bad that Ron Borges doesn't even need to push his agenda, he's got plenty of material with the lack of pass protection and lack of bodies in the secondary. Borges even calls one of Brady's INT's "Bledsoe-esque", an uncharacteristic slam at his binky QB. Scott A Benson is so disgusted he mails one in this morning, 37 cent stamp attached. Bob Ryan says that the Patriots got what they deserved in this one, and at least it's settled where the AFC Championship game is going to be held. Whether the Patriots are there is a whole different story entirely. Steve Buckley (subscription only) says this was a very different Tom Brady we saw last night, he tried too hard to be the hero, and ended up throwing the pick that allowed the Dolphins to take the lead.
Ed Gray (Is he back, or is this a correspondent piece?) looks at a rough night in the secondary for Troy Brown, who yielded the game winning touchdown. Fluto Shinzawa looks at the late interception by Brady that gave the Dolphins life, an interception cause by the pass rush of Jason Taylor. Mark Murphy has Rodney Harrison saying that the Patriots need to get better. George Kimball (subscription only) has the reaction of a shell-shocked Bill Belichick following the game, as the coach lamented the team's execution, not their intensity. Kevin Mannix has nothing about last night's game, but instead looks ahead to Sunday, where he feels Chad Pennington might be distracted by negative media coverage in NY. Bob Ryan weighs in on Ricky Williams. Jamey Eisenberg looks at the elated Dolphins, after they knocked off the Super Bowl Champs. Shinzawa says that one win doesn't make up for the lost season for Dolphins fans, however. Ron Borges looks at how the Patriots would hold the edge over the Steelers if difficulty of schedule were a factor in playoff seeding.
Parente's notebook looks at how last night brought the playoff picture into clearer focus for the AFC. Cafardo's notebook has Belichick's reactions following the game. Felger's notebook points out how sorely the Patriots need Ty Law to return and restore order to the secondary. Curran's notebook looks at the poor game by Tom Brady, while Kennedy's notebook has recaps the rough night on defense for Troy Brown.
While the Patriots had the attention of sports fans, the Red Sox went out and made a trade last night, sending Dave Roberts to the Padres for Jay Payton, Ramon Vazquez, minor league pitcher David Pauley and $2.65 million in cash. Tony Massarotti has the details of the trade and what it means for the makeup of the Red Sox heading into '05. David Heuschkel also looks at the deal. Jon Baker looks at the new additions to the Pawtucket Red Sox roster in this offseason. Bob Halloran looks at the difference in the Red Sox and Yankees Christmas shopping. Jon Couture notes that being a fan is more and more about rooting for the uniforms. He looks at the derision being directed towards Pedro for wanting money and Ricky Williams for giving up money. Kevin Gray talks with new Fisher Cats hitting coach John Valentin about his plans for his team.
Afternoon drive time yesterday saw some of sports radio at its worst. Glenn Ordway was pressing all the buzzword buttons to stir Red Sox fans up into a frenzy while at the same time attempting to temper his words and cover himself so later he can say "That's not what I said". The buzzwords he was throwing out there was that Theo Epstein's offseason is a failure thus far. Edgar Renteria is not an upgrade over Orlando Cabrera. (who signed with the Angels last night.) He used that one several times. He hears from "people in the National league" that Cabrera is actually better. He repeated several times that Theo has failed in all his attempted moves. Even though he had earlier applauded the Red Sox for not giving into Pedro's demands, he called not signing him one of the failures. If you couldn't tell already, "failure" and "failed" were used over and over. At one point though, a caller stepped up and challenged Ordway, asking "What would you have done, Glenn?" The answer was pathetic. "I'm not the GM".
Now, I am not saying that you can't knock Theo for what he's done in the offseason. Many fans have been frustrated with some of how the offseason has gone. Probably with good reason. However, to hammer over and over that it's a "failure" and then when asked what should he have done, to just say "I'm not the GM" shows zero credibility on the part of Ordway. He looks like a blowhard buffoon, and no better than the fans he mocks who don't have an answer when he asks them something similar when they call in to question say, the Patriots. How many times has a caller questioned something, and the hosts say, "Well what would you have done?" and then as the caller is stammering, they ridicule him? Happens ALL the time on that station.
Peter May looks at the increase in scoring in the NBA and notes how the Celtics are one of the teams leading the charge in this new and improved NBA. Mark Murphy looks at the new and improved Ricky Davis, who in many ways has become the Celtics defensive stopper. Murphy's notebook looks at the play of rookie Tony Allen, who continues to open eyes, both with his own coaches and around the league. Peter Vecsey reports that Danny Ainge and the Celtics are trying to work out a deal to bring Antoine Walker back to the green.
Bill Griffith looks at the impact of Sirius satellite radio on sports coverage.
FSN has Celtics/Heat at 7:30. ESPN has the Champs Sports Bowl with Syracuse taking on Georgia Tech at 7:45. ESPN2 has college hoops with Texas Tech/Iowa at 7:00 and UCLA/Michigan State at 9:00.

The fundamental problem with setting an ongoing television series in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested wasteland is that, at some point the show is simply going to reach a plateau of depression, a kind of "Despair Event Horizon" if you will. With the drama and danger ramping up in each episode is there only so long the audience can go without throwing their hands up in the air and saying "I've had enough!"? As Season 2 of AMC's The Walking Dead shambled on it became clearer and clearer that this inevitable destination was where the comic book-based show was barreling towards.
The genius of The Walking Dead Season 3 (airing over here on Channel 5) is that it actually manages to pull the story back from this abyss and the audience along with it, ironically in an affecting twist by having the show's main character, the rock by which the audience remains grounded, go almost entirely off the rails. Helped by the phenomenal Season 2 finale, 3 kicks into high gear right from the get go, eliminating the procrastinating feel that had dogged the show previously. Our rag tag group of survivors are off the farm and have survived a harsh winter, pushing their survival skills to the limits and forcing them to grow closer as a unit. Rick is still the de facto leader and without the constant challenging from Shane has become a more effective protector, with the help of the ever-loyal stoic fan favourite, Daryl. Carl is no longer a whiny pain in the backside and has been trained by his father to become a 13-year old zombie killing machine and Glenn and Maggie's adorable romance brings some much needed joy and humanity to the group. Even Carol has become an effective member of the squad, dealing out her fair share of zombie headshots.
Breaking from the rather group-focussed structure of the previous seasons, Season 3 is actually split fairly evenly between Rick's group who find shelter in an abandoned prison and Andrea, who having survived the storming of the farm is rescued by new character Michonne (a fan favourite from the comic books), a katana wielding badass and expert zombie slayer. The two stumble across an entire village of survivors, known as Woodbury which at first appears to be a safe haven but in true Walking Dead fashion not all is as it seems, especially with the town's shifty leader known only as "The Governor" and a familiar face that is best left forgotten.
The opening episodes pull no punches, almost immediately killing off a significant character that simultaneously radically changes the group's dynamic and addresses some of fan's biggest complaints from Season 2. Rick is slowly losing his mind, as other characters are growing into experienced fighters; bonds are forming as others are eroded and the tension never lets up. The show is dark, no doubt but there is just enough light to keep the audience engaged and not let the show slip into monotony. The characters in Season 3 don't spend episode after episode going back and forth over decisions, they are decisive, they take action, and the explosive results create some of the most thrilling viewing ever seen on television. The characters are clearly weary from a world in which humanity is dying and their actions reflect the claw of doom that is constantly looming large over them.
Like all good zombie fiction The Walking Dead is a show about the people rather than the zombies and with it's engaging character development, expert pacing, shocking twists, pulse pounding action and unrelenting atmosphere, Season 3 truly comes into it's own finally living up to it's potential, rivalling even the best zombie films.
It all builds to a truly chilling cliffhanger ending that has me and many other fans on tenterhooks until the final half of this season airs in mid-February. Fight the dead. Fear the living. Love The Walking Dead.

Computer Science Account
Computer Science User Account
Due to the way in which the computing resources have evolved across the University, the Computer Science department maintains their own user accounts which are used to access the computers in our instructional labs (MCD205, MCJ301 and MCJ310). This means that if you are registered in an Applied Computing or Computer Science course you will have a user account on these systems which is maintained separately from your Brock portal (my.brocku.ca) account.
This account will share the same username as your other accounts across campus, but may have a different password (unless you work to ensure that they are the same). So when you are prompted to change your password on the Brock Portal, or in the public labs (your CAMPUS password) your Computer Science password will not be changed, and vice versa.
To reset the password for your Computer Science user account you can click here. The process takes 10-15 minutes for the new password to be active and requires that you are able to log into your Brock email account to finish the process.
During the FW2015 school year the department will be in the midst of a transition from our separately maintained print accounting system to the Brock printing system which has been implemented across most of the University. During this time, both printing systems will be available for student use in our labs and at the end of the academic year the Computer Science print accounting system will be decommissioned. For more information regarding the transition please visit: http://www.cosc.brocku.ca/help/LabPrinting. For those students who have a remaining balance in the Computer Science printing system, you can view your print balance by visiting: https://www.cosc.brocku.ca/support/printstatus.phtml.
If you have any more questions you can likely find the answers on our departmental website www.cosc.brocku.ca or you can ask one of the Teaching Assistants in the labs or at the COSC Help Desk.

As my colleagues, Sue & Doug like the cookies I made last week which was the black sesame cookies.
I baked another batch of cookies yesterday for them.
But I didn't have any black sesame powder so I tried another recipe.
This recipe is healthier because it uses less sugar & wholemeal flour.
Well, this is not as tasty as the previous ones but better for the health.
1 egg
100g butter (unsalted)
120g plain flour
30g corn flour
50g wholemeal flour
90g sugar
1/2 tsp bp
3 tsp black sesame seeds
1. Butter (softened) + sugar, beat until smooth.
3. Add egg & mix well.
4. Add flours, bp & black sesame seeds & mix well.
5. Roll into small sized balls, place 5 cm apart, flatten slightly.
8. Bake at 170'C for 15 - 20 min.

Mon 13 Dec 2010 in 42,-71:
A parking lot near Lexington Center
Jim first realized where this hashpoint was as he was sitting in the Portland (Oregon!) airport waiting for his flight. He did a double take, and checked it again. It was so close to where he had grown up, he had to try for it.
As I flew across the country, I kept wondering if I'd make it there in time. It was going to be really close. My flight wasn't supposed to arrive until 10PM, and it would take at least an hour to get to where I could snag a car to go to the hashpoint, and it would be 20-30 minutes to drive to the hashpoint.
But the geohashing gods were smiling upon this expedition. I got into Boston 20 minutes early, my luggage was ready to go by the time I found the correct baggage carousel. The incorrect airport shuttle bus that I got onto turned out to still go to the T station.
I arrived at my destination, and snagged the car keys, rechecked the GPS, and changed the (almost dead) batteries, and threw it and the camera and myself into the car.
And we hit the roads. The deserted roads. In Boston.
The bridge construction that I ran into still let me onto the other side of the Charles River, and off I went towards Lexington. I guessed correctly that the exit after the one I *was certain* went to Lexington was the exit for Waltham Street itself, though I was confused by the fact that it didn't say "Lexington Street". (It used to be that the same stretch of road was called "Waltham Street" in Lexington, and "Lexington Street" in Waltham.)
Trundling down Waltham Street found me at the entrance of the parking lot. I was initially confused by the fact that I didn't reach the hashpoint right away, but it turns out I was misremembering what Google Maps was saying.
I took some pictures, which I'll upload when I return to Oregon, and tried driving through the hashpoint. I'm not sure what the speed limit is for a parking spot, though.
I headed off in search of some sleep, though my body was sort of off by 3 hours at that point.
To be uploaded later.

At the Alternative Vet (AVMC), we rightly or wrongly involve ourselves in many issues that impinge, in one way or another, upon the welfare or survival of our fellow creatures. Since we are holistic in our approach and work, we do not feel able to place comfortable boundaries around our interpretation of duty to animals. Furthermore, we do not restrict this interest simply to those domestic species (dog, cat, horse, pony, goat, donkey, pig, cattle, sheep etc.), presented to us by our clients. The veterinary oath requires that we attend properly to animal welfare and, at the AVMC, we take this seriously and interpret it in a wide sense. We include in this website some of these issues, admittedly peripheral to our main work, which we feel to be very relevant to animal welfare and Nature. We maintain that with a deep respect for nature vet practice should be environmentally friendly.
These pages will highlight some of the major issues facing animals and man today.
"We are part of the earth and it is part of us.
The perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer,
the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers.
The rocky crests, the juices in the meadow, the body heat
of the pony and man – all belong to the same family.
………………………. If all the beasts were gone,
men would die from a great loneliness of spirit.
For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man.
All things are connected."
Chief Seathl – circa 1855 (click here for full text)

The AVMC offers veterinary acupuncture, veterinary homeopathy, veterinary herb medicine (veterinary herbs / veterinary phytotherapy), veterinary chiropractic treatment and other 'alternative medicine' options, in a friendly, homely and relaxed environment, generally much-appreciated by our animal visitors.
"Modern man does not experience himself as a part of nature but as an outside force destined to dominate and conquer it. He even talks of a battle with nature, forgetting that, if he won the battle, he would find himself on the losing side."
E. F. Schumacher (1911 – 1977)

This place works ok for what it is.
Whenever I'm in the area I go here for either the grilled pork chops, the grilled chicken, or the bo luc lac (beef cubes). My wife stops by sometimes on the way home from work and picks up some dishes from time to time as well.
You can get any of the aforementioned dishes over rice and you won't go wrong with that meal. I usually get a summer roll with that and I'm good to go.
I cannot speak for the other items because these are the only things I get from Vietnamese places. I will say that the service is pretty fast, no frills style. Typical Asian place, as I've said in other reviews of places in Flushing and Chinatown, don't come expecting smiles and stuff from the staff. It's not that type of a party. More along the lines of "Wha yu wan".
One time the lady that works there was really angry, she had this look of resentment on her face, scary looking female. I didn't want anything to do with her… "Uhm, no, I don't need another fork, it's ok that this one fell on the floor, I'm sure you guys keep the floor quite sanitary, please don't trouble yourself"..
But all that aside, if you want a good dish (the ones I mentioned above are the only ones I will vouch for) then try this place. Leave your emotions at home though, cause ain't nothing sweet about it.

Crime, Supernatural and Adventure fiction. Obscure, Forgotten and Well Worth Reading.
Friday, May 3, 2013
FFB: Alarum and Excursion - Virginia Perdue
There are number of features that make Perdue's book stand out from the rest of the amnesiac crowd. First, her protagonist Nicholas Methany is 62 years old and the CEO of his own oil company. You can probably guess the story is not going to include any action scenes of youthful derring-do. Plus, he has two grown children and a very young wife. Second, the manner in which Methany's memory returns is orchestrated with some of the most original and realistic scenes in a book of this type. He never completely loses his memory, as I expect would happen in a real amnesia situation. Methany can only recall vague moments and envision hazy glimpses of a specific event -- a lab explosion at his firm Seaboard Petroleum that left him injured.
In two of the most cleverly done parts Methany is given modeling clay and he finds himself unconsciously shaping and forming it into a serpent ready to strike. Later he will find an exact replica of that snake in a drawer in his home and it will have great significance to a plot that slowly is revealed to him. In another scene Hero, his wife, puts out her cigarette in an small earthenware container she uses as an ashtray and Methany is instantly taken back to a similar scene in his past. The smell of a perfume, the sound of a voice, the mention of a name -- all of these will jar his broken memory bank and send him into the past, remembering and piecing together his past life to help him explain his present predicament. It's all carefully orchestrated by Perdue and rings true in every instance.
As his memory of the accident gradually returns into full focus Methany learns that two people died and one was most likely murdered. He also learns that the accident was not an accident at all but a plot to undermine the development of a synthetic fuel his firm was about to release. With gasoline in short supply and the US entering the war, Methany is sure his non-petroleum based alternate fuel will be the saving grace for the war effort. He plans to give the formula to the military free of charge or licensing fees. But there are others in his company who disagree with Methany's altruism and see nicoline (the fuel's name) as the means to financial riches if the formula were offered up for sale.
There is a lot to recommend the book: the structure and plot details are imaginative and well thought out, Perdue's muscular prose that walks a fine line between being tough and sentimental, and a cast of unusual minor characters. I will single out Professor Wyndham, a kooky paleontologist locked up at the Crestview mental institution where Methany is recuperating, who walks three steps forward and one back, talks about life on Mars and Mercury and helps Methany in a daring escape. Much later in the book we meet the crude saloon piano player, Beulah Westmore, who has some vital information about Methany's son's involvement in the lab explosion and why it happened.
As each characters' true nature is revealed the novel ventures further into the realm of noir. The strange relationship between Hero, her ex-con father Charley Van Norman, and Methany becomes one of seedy corruption , self-interest and base greed. The finale is as dark as any noir of the 1950s. And the last paragraph is one guaranteed to induce a gasp of awe in any reader. I know let loose with a "Wow!" before I closed the book.
SIDEBAR: In an attempt to learn more about Virginia Perdue I discovered that she had a special relationship with Robert Heinlein. According to The Heinlein Society website in the 1930s Perdue and Heinlein were friends. She was instrumental in giving the science fiction writer advice on submitting his manuscripts to mainstream magazines, not just the pulps, and encouraged him to write novels. Heinlein's second wife also believed that the relationship went a bit deeper than just writers helping each other out with their careers. A feature article on Perdue (rather than the two paragraphs I found) was supposed to appear in an issue of The Heinlein Journal, but I was unable to find it.

John, from where do you dig up these authors and books? Another one to add to my over-flowing Books That I MUST Search For.ReplyDeleteReplies
I read a lot of reference books and make notes of the critics' best books. This is yet another of the "Top 50 Mysteries" picked by Jacques Barzun & Wendell Taylor in their bibliographic survey A Catalog of Crime. And as usual they found a good one.Delete
Another great find, John. Certainly seems to be worthy of a return to print. Given the motivation for the crime, I was interested to see that that the novel had been released as an Armed Services Edition.ReplyDelete
I too let loose a "Wow!" recently - when finishing Sol Allen's Toronto Doctor - but for entirely different reasons.
Fascinating. This one has now zoomed on to my must- read list. Thanks for the great review.ReplyDelete
To me the end has to be worth the journey, and you made it sound like this one is, thus it is on my to be read list now.ReplyDelete
Wow, John. And that's just from reading your review. From what you say, the handling of the amnesia does sound way more realistic than your average amnesia story. Of course, you know that I immediately latched on to "Professor Wyndham, a kooky paleontologist locked up at the Crestview mental institution where Methany is recuperating, who walks three steps forward and one back, talks about life on Mars and Mercury and helps Methany in a daring escape." Mention a professor and I'm all agog. :-)ReplyDelete
Sounds good, John. Thanks for the intro to yet another writer I'm not familiar with. But I like the idea of the story. I like amnesia plots. Though I can't remember ever reading one.ReplyDelete
It's true. :)
A google search on the book brought me to your wonderful review. This now forgotten novel was a bestseller in it's day and apparently one movie producer thought it had potential to be a movie. I have been reading old movie trade newspapers online and the October 19 1944 edition of The Film Daily reports that producer Sol Lesser (best known for "Stage Door Canteen" and the forties Tarzan films) purchased the novel to be developed into a film.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for that movie trivia, Rob. I love learning that kind of stuff. It should've been made. Someone ought to adapt it now. It's very timely these days -- a clever writer could take the subplot about the alternate fuel and run with it making the movie very resonant for modern audiences even while retaining the WW2 setting.Delete

Biofibre Hair Implant is recommended for both women and men facing alopecia (baldness) of every age. It can also be combined with any other hair restoration surgeries or techniques to obtain the desire aesthetic outcome as per patient's necessity.

When I decided to travel nineteen months ago I did not anticipate the catalogue of events this would create for me.
I spent a year planning my six month trip around America. I saved vigorously, worked three jobs, limited my social activities as much as I could, worked out my monthly budget, and prepared my case full of things I thought I would need. I remember sitting on the floor in my living room with a map of the United States in front of me; post-it notes, pens, notepads, IPhone, laptop, calculator all neatly around me as I designed the most cost-effective route to get the most out of America for my budget.
I am not wealthy. I never have been. My family struggled throughout my life and beforehand. Money has never held importance to me other than ensuring we are able to eat, sleep, and enjoy each others' company. As a five year old I remember being at my Dad's house with my sisters and Dad in the living room; we did not have money, we were struggling to pay the rent, my parents had divorced two years before and had lost an incredible amount of money on the house we had to sell. We had moved from the North of England to the Midlands and so both my parents were away from their families. They were alone trying to raise three daughters in a new small town after leaving one of England's biggest cities, and they now had money troubles along with custody battles to contend with.
While in the living room with my Dad and Sisters my Dad brought out a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate. I remember so clearly from childhood that if we had a bar of Cadbury chocolate and "hedgehog" bread it meant Dad had a little extra money left over that week.
We did this so often that it became our routine whenever we had the money for chocolate. We all shared the chocolate equally between the four of us while chatting and then when the chocolate had all gone we rolled up the foil wrapper and threw it around the room at each other; diving over sofas, ducking behind chairs, using feet, arms, heads, flicking the wrapper we were laughing so hard and for so long it was true happy family time.
When I was at University in London I walked around Camden showing my Sister and her Boyfriend my favourite area of London. I stopped at a palm reader on the corner of a street. It was five pounds for a single palm reading so I went for it.
I was eighteen years old, completely fresh to London and filling my days at University with dance and drama (Performing Arts being my subject). When I sat with the palm reader she asked me to not respond or speak, simply listen.
She told me that I surround myself with negative people; that whenever I get a little bit higher there is always someone waiting there ready to knock me straight back down again. She told me I am not good with money, and I never will be. She told me I will find Mr Right, but I will hesitate, and he will walk straight past. But she told me I have a lot of Hope. She said that I am filled with Hope.
How I could be full of hope after this conversation escapes me a little but rather than seeing this as my fate, I viewed it as a warning of how my life could become unless I acted now. Possibly my Hope talking.
Over the next few years I would try to look at my friendships and see who my friends actually were. Because of this I have lost contact with many people, but the ones still in my life, oh my gosh I love them. My incredible friends like S, my high school best friend that stood by me, and continues to stand by me, during every good and every single bad moment. When the heat is on she is stood next to me, and when the chips are down she's always there for me. My wonderful friend Chunk (his nickname since his childhood that no longer applies given that he is a walking muscle-machine now but he's still 'Chunk'), who, when the drama surrounding my friend B's relationship ending erupted to gigantic proportions a few weeks after my own long-term relationship break-up, met me for coffee and asked me what happened; I instantly began the story of our mutual friend B only to be interrupted with "No, it was obvious they were never going to work, I'm asking about you. How are you? Are you ok?" I had forgotten my own break-up was in anyone but my own mind until he said that to me; I didn't think anyone was interested since all I was being asked about around then was regarding B. I cried in his arms as I told him how unhappy I had been in the relationship and how much I tried to change myself so that I wouldn't be yelled at by my ex or his family any more but I couldn't live like that, so after three years I left. I was devastated and was still getting used to sleeping alone, no longer having my phone filled with "I love you" messages, and not having the same routine after work of dinner and cuddles on the sofa. I was incredibly lonely and trying to hide it to help others deal with B's dilemma.
My trip was meant to be six months and then I return to England on January 4th 2014 with new experiences, bad hair, covered in travelling tattoos, a strange accent and my head and heart ready to enjoy the new adventure of settling my twenty-six year old self down. I spent three months of my travelling time thinking of how perfect my life would be when I returned to the arms of My American in January. Instead I flew to Hawaii rather than home for my three week break where I had planned to meet up with My American until his work commitments and his own thoughts on our new long-distance relationship meant that he didn't want me to change my plans to meet him.
While in Maui with my newest closest friend from travelling, my San Diego roommate from Germany, she asked me to join her in travelling around Australia for a year. I had known LF for two weeks. I thought about My American. I thought about the fact I had told him about my eating issues and a week later he had told me not to return to England to meet him. I thought about how much money I had left, how much I would need for Australia, how much a flight would be, how much I would need to continue my trip around America and if I would then have enough to travel to Australia with the $5,000 the Australian Government require you to have before entering the country on the Work and Travel Visa. I thought about everywhere I still wanted to see in America and about everything I wanted to do when I got home. All I had wanted to do was settle down. Close this chapter on my American Dream and meet My American in London. I weighed everything up; thinking of my bank balance in my head, converting it to pounds, then US Dollars, then Australian Dollars, what would happen if I went back to England and My American didn't want me. What would I regret? Not going back? Or not going to Australia when given the chance to?
I had two cards in my hands; continue the original plan and return to England whether My American wanted me or not. Or try Australia knowing that My American didn't want me right now so there was every possibility he wouldn't in two months when I got back. More time away from me meant less time wanting to be with me.
I said yes.
I cut a month off my original trip around America as I couldn't afford to enter Australia with less than the $5,000 the Government stated, and the extra month in America would eat into that money too much. I wrote on my social media page my newest plan; hoping My American would message me. Instead I messaged him. I told him the new plan and he gave me no indication of his feelings towards it. Was he sad I wasn't returning? Was he happy I was the one that made it easier to let go? Was he even wanting me to talk to him? I had no clue.
I didn't book my flight until three days before I left New Orleans on the plane to Australia. One month after I messaged My American.
Looking back now I wish that I had spoken to him properly before I made any decisions. He isn't a mind reader and neither am I. If I had the same chance now I would ask how he felt towards me and if he saw us with a future. I would tell him the only reason I'm considering leaving is because I can't face going back and him not wanting me. Instead I just left.
Now I have been in Australia for two months and last week I booked a one-way flight back to London leaving in two weeks. During a conversation in the annex of our house at 4am I cried to LF as I said that I can't stay here thinking of him each day and wondering if there's any way we are meant to be together. I needed to go back and meet him. I messed up by not returning in January and I needed to tell him, if only to clear my head.
I battled the decision whether to tell him I am coming home or to wait until I was back and see if he wanted to meet. I told him. And now I wish I hadn't booked the flight. He doesn't want to meet me; it's too late. He's moved on.
Today I got offered a job in Australia, after reading an email from a job I applied for in England asking me to call them to discuss the position. I called my sister and told her I have two paths in front of me; one I know, one I don't.
If I go home I work in an office again. I excitedly see my friends and family for the first few weeks, and then I am working in the office. I don't meet My American because he doesn't want to meet me, and I am exactly where I was a year ago.
Or I stay here. I work the job I've never had before in a company that has stated that team building exercises consist of paintballing and go-karting trips, that they already have a team lined up for me that they want me to work with, and that the two weeks I have planned to return to England (as I only stated I would be away for two weeks) is not a problem, they will have me join the team before I leave and work as normal as soon as I return after the two weeks.
Seems like an easy choice.
My head wants me to travel, to explore, become the Me I am perhaps meant to be. But my heart is devastated. I wanted a life with him. I fell in love with the possibilities. With everything it could have been, and I held on to that for six months, daily.
If you are half as sick of reading about My American as I am tired of thinking of him and every mistake I made then I apologise. My head knows I need to let this go but my hope won't be silenced yet. I believe I met my Mr Right, and I hesitated to meet up with him before I left for America, and now he has walked past the thought of us. My friends here and while travelling have told me that my Mr Right won't walk straight past. My Mr Right will want to meet me, be with me, do anything to have my heart and me in his busy life.
I hope so much that this is true.

Many people confuse detox with treatment. Detox should be seen only as the beginning of a longer process. Psychotic symptoms can sometimes persist for months after use has ceased .Typically, inpatient detox lasts for five to seven days. Treatment, which may be done on an outpatient or inpatient basis will likely last up to 90 days.
Tolerance and Withdrawal
Methamphetamine has a high potential for abuse and dependence. Tolerance may develop and users may quickly become addicted and use it with increasing frequency and in increasing doses. Abrupt discontinuation of use can produce extreme fatigue, mental depression, apathy, long periods of sleep, irritability, and disorientation.
What's it like
detoxing off
It's difficult to say exactly what it will be like for each individual detoxing from meth as the experience varies widely. Methamphetamine has a strong pull. The binge and crash cycle that many meth addicts go through does not always lend itself easily to detox. Detoxing off meth you are likely to:
After methamphetamine use is stopped, several withdrawal symptoms can occur, including
There are treatment options for methamphetamine addiction. One treatment model called the Matrix model is being found to have particularly good success at treating methamphetamine addiction. At the same time, due to the level of cognitive impairment, some treatment providers are finding that it takes longer to treat someone using methamphetamine than other drugs.

The sinner's response is fight or flight
From your great glory and holy light,
So teach us how to humbly submit,
To seek your face, and never quit
Our service to Christ. We want to eat
His bread and make your will our meat.
What you in all of Scripture wrote
We want to know, to love devote
Ourselves, as Jesus did. Create
In us desire for heaven's Gate.

Costa Calida was seen by many as an untouched coastline. Today it is a popular travel destination for many European citizens whether for holidays or permanent residence. This has injected a cosmopolitan feel to the region, while still retaining much of its tradition and culture. Positively affected by the rise in visitors is the commercial sector. A wide array of sporting pursuits are now on offer (especially for golfers), as well as more cultured choices; such as a mix of established and recently regenerated museums, galleries, and sites of great historical importance. Costa Calida is unusual in that its northern section not only offers a choice of beaches, but a choice of Sea. Featuring are the popular Mediterranean Sea, and the lesser known Mar Menor (little sea). The Mar Menor is an inland sea/salt water lake separated from the Mediterranean by La Manga (the sleeve) del Mar Menor; otherwise known as the La Manga strip. It is favoured amongst families with small children due to its warm, shallow and salty waters (salt makes you float more easily). Costa Calida means the warm coast and it forms the coastline of the Murcia Region stretching from El Mojon in the north to Aguilas in the south. El Mojon just north of San Pedro del Pinatar is a former fishing village and the gateway to the one of the most important nature reserves in the Murcia Region. Las Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar is a wetland area that is temporary home to a host of wading birds including Pink Flamingos. As we travel south we take in the famous Lo Pagan a town renowned for its medicinal mud baths. Mar Menor or 'Small Sea' is a shallow lagoon separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a thin spit of land called La Manga del Mar Menor where most of the development has taken place. It is a favourite with people learning water-sports because of its sheltered environment. La Manga has most recently become famous for its golf complexes much frequented by premier league football players. The main golf resorts that have seen the highest number of buyers are Hacienda del Alamo and Novo Carthago where you can purchase very reasonably priced golf properties. Not far away is the traditional coastal village of Cabo de Palos featuring a lighthouse built in 1800's. As well its superb coastline, the Murcia Region has many interesting towns and cities including Aledo, Cartegena, Calasparra, Caravaca de la Cruz, Lorca, Mula, Murcia and Totana. Aledo is famous for its connection with the 'El Cid' legend, as portrayed in the movie starring Charlton Heston. Mula, dominated by the castle of 'Marques de Los Velez' is the site of a thermal spring where you can bathe in the medicinal waters. One of the oldest cities in the area is Cartegena, dating from around 200 BC, a combination of ancient and modern architecture it became an important naval base in the 1700's; Second World War gun emplacements built in the style of a medieval fort once guarded the base from their positions on the other side of the bay. Murcia provides excellent shopping opportunities including the English style department store 'El Corte de Ingles'. The Murcia Region is served by three airports, San Javier, Alicante Airport and Almeria with a number of low cost providers; the coming improvements to the A-7 motorway mean that the area will have excellent transport links.

Okay, indoor swings may bring up disturbing thoughts of Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson. But if you can get past that, they are a really great way to bring some fun (not that kind of fun) into your home. They can also be very stylish extra-seating options when you have a few guests over -- who wouldn't have a good time lounging in one of those? So, we rounded up nine pretty indoor swings that hopefully inspire you to take a little decor risk.
It's a swing... in a kitchen. We're in love.
A feature like this can blend beautifully with the rest of your decor.
The tire swing adds a playful vibe to this space.
Not exactly your traditional style, but it still looks like a lot of fun.
It can also be very romantic.
A simple wood design works great with a contemporary room.
Whoever lives here is one lucky kid.
Having a lot of space will allow for optimal swing entertainment.
We have to admit, the chair just compliments this industrial space perfectly.

Prince Félix and Princess Claire of Luxembourg have released the first photos of their newborn daughter Amalia.
The royal couple, who welcomed their little bundle of joy on Sunday, looked the picture of health and happiness as they posed alongside their first child.
Princess Claire, 29, was seen cradling her day-old baby, who was dressed in a pink and white hand-smocked dress. Doting dad Prince Félix, meanwhile, sat beside his wife and placed a protective arm around his girls.

In the relaxed photos, the first-time parents looked thrilled with their baby Amalia. Unaware of what was going on, the royal darling gazed wide-eyed at her surroundings and broke into a smile in another snapshot.
The photoshoot seemed to have proved too much for Amalia as she was caught drifting off to sleep in another photo.

"But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the One who formed you says, 'Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you and Mine.' " Isaiah 43:1
What's in a name? Far more than we think. Far more than you think. We tend to believe that everyone is given a name at birth, but they aren't. Author and speaker Christine Caine tells of how, when born to a mother who didn't want her, and father who had abandoned them both, had listed on her birth certificate under the space for name, "None." Except that she did have a name, and it began to be burned into her mind and spirit. In fact she came to have many names. "Unwanted, Unloved, Unimportant." The years would add many more. You see, even though a parent may not give us a name, there is no hesitation on the part of the devil, the world, and even the organized church to do so. And like Caine, these names can be burned into the very marrow of our mind, heart, and spirit. In Jewish culture, the names given the children signified the type of character the parent hoped the child would come to possess. Be assured that the enemy of our souls seeks to place a name upon us as well that he hopes will come to define the entirety of our lives. And keep us in the captivity of that names power. In so many instances, he succeeds. This is tragic on every level, but nowhere more so than when he succeeds in convincing those who are His that the names he has put upon them will now define every aspect of their life. And they will live under the bondage of that "name." Loser. Failure. Unlovable. Rejected. Ugly. Stupid. Such names are placed upon us by family, peers, the culture, the church, and worst of all, ourselves. What "name" and its tyranny might you be living under right now?
This is a fallen world locked in darkness, so it should not be surprising that it, working through all aspects of its culture, even the culture of the church, should seek to place a fallen name upon us as well. It will, and we have but one defense, one truth to turn to in the midst of that. Jesus Christ.....the One who, as the old hymn says, gives us " a new name written down in glory., and it's mine, O yes it's mine." Tragically though, too many of us never hear that name, or know that it's been given. And that name, given by the Father before the foundation of the world, really is ours. It's a name that contains everything the Father sees us as, everything He created us to be. That name, when we come to Him in saving faith, breaks all the power of all the names that hell and the world have sought to bind us with. If that is you, you've been given that name. Have you ever received it?
We won't know what that name is this side of eternity, but we can begin to live in the power of it right now. It starts with coming to know what it is that the Father says of us in His Word. Victor. Conqueror. Child of the King. Apple of His eye. Precious. Accepted. Infinitely Loved. Mine! T. Austin-Sparks said that everything changed for Saul of Taursus when he met everything that Christ is on the Damascus Road. Saul, murderer, persecutor, hater of His people, was transformed into Paul, the Apostle of the Heart....of the heart set free. We, and everything about us needs to meet our own everything in Christ. Have we? Will we now?
It just involves this; we need to bring every false name the the devil, the world, even the church has sought to put upon us, to Him. With open hands, we need to give Him those names, all of them, and allow Him to blot them all out as He writes His name, and the name He has given us, over them....in His blood. Their power is broken. They are erased from our minds, our hearts, and our spirits. Everything in us has met everything in Him. The old names pass away...and a new name, written down in glory, is ours. Have you received it?

The fourth edition of Design and Analysis continues to offer a readily accessible introduction to the designed experiment in research and the statistical analysis of the data from such experiments. Unique because it emphasizes the use of analytical procedures, this book is appropriate for all as it requires knowledge of only the most fundamental mathematical skills and little or no formal statistical background. Topics include: single- and two-factor designs with independent groups of subjects; corresponding designs with multiple observations; analysis of designs with unequal sample sizes; analysis of covariance; designs with three factors, including all combinations of between-subjects and within-subject factors; random factors and statistical generalization; and nested factors. This book lives up to its name as a handbook, because of its usefulness as a source and guide to researchers who require assistance in both planning a study and analyzing its results.Keppel, Geoffrey is the author of 'Design and Analysis: A Researcher's Handbook' with ISBN 9780132000482 and ISBN 0132000482.[read more]
