Below: hilarious Steffensen videos.
John Steffensen, Australia's most noted runner in recent years, vented his frustrations to the media this week when he was overlooked for an individual spot in the 400m race at the London Olympics by accusing Athletics Australia of racially discriminating against him.
Steffensen went on TV to attack AA.
"I've put up with being racially vilified by this federation, being discriminated against on many teams," Steffensen told Channel Nine.
"You know it'd help if I was different colour, then a lot of decisions with my federation would be totally different, but I've never brought that up, I've always kept quiet on that."
"But it is the fact, it's the way it is, but I live with it and I keep running and I keep representing my country and I keep winning Australian trials."
Steffensen also went on Twitter, threatening to walk away from the Games and the sport. Though just the reserve, he has been included in the 4x400m team.
Steffensen was having a pretty good year until a hamstring injury hampered his Olympic preparation. After winning three 400m in 2012, including the Olympic Trails in Melbourne in March (in 45.74 seconds), but was injured shortly after. His replacement, teenager Steve Solomon, who has been described as a "gun", has been in great form and posted a time of 45.52 at the world junior championships in Barcelona last week.
Neither runner made the Olympic automatic qualifying time of 45.3 seconds.
The fact of the matter is, Steffensen has a history of running his mouth. He never overcame the 'potential' tag he received early in his career and has won just one Olympic medal; a silver in the 400m relay back in 2004. Besides his PB be the third best in Australian history, Steffensen's only notable individual achievements include a bronze at the world championships and winning the Commonwealth Games- not exactly a hotbed for world sprinting talent.
At least better than Matt Shirvington, Steffensen is just the world No.47, but acts like he's Usain Bolt.
Steffensen talking about himself in third person, talks ridiculous amounts of trash.
Wins trails in Melbourne, does the Dougie..

Federal health officials are saying a virus caused more than 400 people to get sick on a cruise ship that left South Carolina for the Caribbean earlier this month.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Jay Dempsey said Thursday samples taken from ill passengers have confirmed the norovirus. The main symptoms are upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea.
Norovirus is often to blame when symptoms sweep closed quarters like those on cruise ships.
The Celebrity Mercury is due in Charleston early Friday. Celebrity Cruise spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez says 413 of the more than 2,600 passengers and crew became ill.
The illness reached its peak early this week. Martinez says 48 guests are in isolation as the ship heads back to Charleston.

Trompe Le Monde: Magic With the Pixies' David Lovering – Exclusive
"I went wholeheartedly for years and years, learning tricks, joining the Magic Castle, reading books, watching videos. I slept with a deck of cards for years. It was a lot of work I put into becoming a professional magician."
You might expect that quote to come from someone like David Blaine or David Copperfield, but it actually came from the mouth of the drummer for one of the most iconic indie rock outfits of all time, the Pixies' David Lovering.
"I'm on the stage in front of 80,000 people with the Pixies and I'm behind a drum set. I'm never nervous. I've never been nervous for a Pixies show," Lovering tells us. "It's never bothered me. But when I do my magic, I could be in front of 10 people and I've never sweat so much and panicked so much in my life."
It all started around 1994 when Lovering attended a magic convention with a friend and fellow musician in Los Angeles. "I went along — we paid the dues and I didn't think anything was going to happen," he recalls. "While I was there I saw a magic trick with a guy named John Kennedy. He took a cigarette and put it through a quarter. I mean, David Blaine and others have done this trick over the years and you'll see it on TV. But this was a completely different method and it blew me away. It was the first time I saw a really cool magic trick. From that point on I was just taken."
It was that cigarette trick that was the first Lovering learned. After that, he picked up as many secrets as he could. "I learned every trick there was," he says. "I did so much magic that you learn to discern what is good and what isn't. Over the years, my repertoire has changed, but I still love playing cards and I do a lot of great card tricks, and I love using coins, rubber bands, things like that. The more organic things are, the better they play in terms of magic. You know, everyday items."
And so it is that we found ourselves with Lovering and a few everyday items. Specifically, a rubber band, a couple of coins, and a nut and bolt. In the three exclusive videos below, Lovering performs some very simple — yet absolutely mind-boggling and captivating — magic tricks for us.

"Magic has built up my confidence. That's the one thing I could say about it," Lovering humbly admits. "I love doing magic, love doing it when people enjoy it. What it gave to me in return as far as confidence, it's been immeasurable."
And as far as his favorite trick, it might not be one that's suitable for the camera. "It's called 'Card From Rear.' What I do is, I have a card selected by someone and they have to remember the card, then put it back in the deck," he explains. "I wave my hand over the deck of cards and their card is gone. I ask them where they think it went. So, to help, I try to use my mind to find it. I say it's in my pants, and most people think it's in my fly — that's a trick called 'Card From Fly.' But I go beyond that."
How far beyond? "I stick my hand down the front, then I go around the back, and I actually pull out a rolled up tissue-laden card out of my pants," Lovering says, with a chuckle in his voice. "People run out. It's very psychological. They're either laughing their ass of or they're really offended by it. I unroll it and it's their card, and then I put it in a bag and give it to them as a souvenir. It's very funny, it's a fun trick. I have a ball with it."
Magic is something that instantly impacted Lovering, and it's not something that he'll soon stop loving. "It captures you and you don't experience it anywhere else," he says. "You can create wonder and awe with magic. You can do the same with music, too. The difference, though, is magic brings you back to an emotion that only kids experience. If you're an adult, it will bring you back to your youth. That's a wonderful thing it can do. But on an even deeper level, it shows the impossible is possible. It's magic — I love everything about it."
The Pixies' 'Doolittle 25: B-Sides, Peel Sessions and Demos' is out now. The new reissue celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Pixies' second studio album — and major label debut — 'Doolittle.'

Japan's stock market is experiencing a rally unmatched since the 1980s, says Brad Frischkorn in The Wall Street Journal. The Nikkei 225 is trading around 11,400, a level last seen in 2008. Since the rally began in November, Japanese equities have risen by more than 30%, making Tokyo the best-performing major market in the past three months.
The yen's 14% slide against the dollar over the past four months, and expectations of further initiatives from central bankers, are drawing investors into the "long-dormant" market. The new government, headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has pledged to beat the deflation that has dogged Japan for over a decade. Haruhiko Kuroda, head of the Asian Development Bank and a possible candidate to head the Bank of Japan, told Bloomberg that he was expecting growth of 2% or more for 2013.
So is now the right time to buy? Investors "have been bitten many times by the seductive notion that the land of the rising sun is emerging from its bear-market night", says Robert Cole on Breakingviews. "They would be forgiven for shying away this time." That might be a mistake.
Reuters' data, notes Cole, suggest that Japanese corporate earnings should grow by 22% this year, nearly twice the world average. What's more, the MSCI Japan index currently trades on a price/earnings (p/e) ratio of just under 14. That's on par with the US, and slightly higher than Europe, but it is below the global average p/e of the last two and a half decades of 30.
It is also lower than 90% of weekly readings for Japanese equities since 1988. Japanese shares are paying a more generous average dividend of 2.2%, compared to yield of below 1% for two-thirds of the period since 1988.
Investors who have been burned before might point out that the Nikkei is still 71% below its record close at the end of 1989, says The Wall Street Journal. However, with the "reinvigorated", business-friendly Liberal Democratic Party back in power, strategists believe that interest from global funds, which have avoided the market for so long, could "fuel this rally for several more months".
Wealth manager Lorne Steinberg tells The Wall Street Journal that any sign that the Japanese government's policies are working "could trigger an equity-market rally lasting two to three years". So there could be plenty of scope for further gains.

LeBron James keeps getting the same birthday present: A loss.
Dwyane Wade had 21 points and 12 assists, Mario Chalmers added 21 points and eight assists, and the Miami Heat dropped King James' pro record on birthdays to 0-3 with a 104-95 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
On the day he turned 24, James scored a fitting 24 of his 38 points in the second half, almost enough to rally Cleveland out of its biggest deficit of the season, a 16-point hole at halftime.
But the Heat put it away with a 16-3 run over a 4-minute stretch of the final quarter, handing the Cavs just their fifth loss in 31 games this season.
Daequan Cook scored 17 points – with all five field goals being 3-pointers – and Shawn Marion had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Udonis Haslem added 13 points and 10 rebounds for Miami.
Delonte West scored 20 for Cleveland, which had won six straight.
For much of the second half, it seemed as though Cleveland would do what it did Sunday against Miami – pull off a huge rally. The Cavaliers trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter on their home floor two nights earlier against the Heat, only to dominate the rest of the way and win 93-86.
The birthday boy almost pulled it off again.
James hit a 3-pointer to pull Cleveland to 78-77 with 8:55 remaining, then turned and had something to say to the Miami bench, something he did often in Sunday's Cavs comeback.
But this time, Miami got the last word.
Chalmers hit a 3-pointer with 7:11 left, then stripped James and went in for an easy layup, part of a 9-0 run that gave Miami an 87-77 lead. Later, Chalmers hit Cook for a 3-pointer, putting the Heat up by 14, and the crowd cheered as the rookie guard from Kansas pointed skyward and Wade pumped a fist in celebration.
If there was a hangover from wasting a chance to spoil Cleveland's still-perfect home record Sunday night, the Heat didn't show it in the early going.
Wade came up with the first highlight, diving out of bounds to save the ball, then taking a seat in a fan's lap as Chalmers hit a 3-pointer for a quick 13-9 lead. And at intermission, Miami seemed to have Cleveland totally befuddled – the Cavs shot 10-for-32 in the first half and faced their biggest deficit of the season, 50-34.
Not hardly – not with James around.
Cleveland shot 72 percent, more than doubling its first-half showing, in the third quarter, with James getting 14 points and two assists. The Cavs closed the third on a 10-2 run, with James getting eight of those points, to set up a wild finish.
But the Heat never trailed in the fourth and finished 11-for-18 from 3-point range. They also outrebounded Cleveland 42-33.
Notes:@ Wade went out with James and his close friends Monday night for a birthday party, but didn't get a gift. "He's got more money than me," Wade said. ... Plenty of celebrities were in the seats, including playoff-bound Miami Dolphins Channing Crowder, Joey Porter and Ronnie Brown, actor Jamie Foxx, Dolphins great Dan Marino, Olympic swimmer Dara Torres and singer Kelly Rowland. ... For the first time this season, the Heat had 15 healthy players at the morning shootaround. Forwards James Jones (wrist) and Dorell Wright (knee) are working their way back from injuries and aiming to make season debuts in the coming weeks.

TROY, N.Y. – The decision to disallow the initial interrogation video and confession during Adrian Thomas' retrial has some people questioning what that could mean for future cases and police interrogations.
Former prosecutor and defense attorney Arnold Proskin said the ruling does set a precedent but a good one.
"It happens a lot where police so-called con you, and that's what happened there," he said. "And I think the appellate division did the right thing. You can't get a person in and take advantage of them…I think most of our police agencies, though, don't do that."
Although they might avoid telling lies, Proskin said the ruling won't stop investigators from trying to scare a suspect during interrogations.

Auburn pin-master West snags 182-pound regional wrestling title

Warsaw, Poland • President Barack Obama pledged Tuesday to boost U.S. military deployments and exercises throughout Europe, an effort costing as much as $1 billion to demonstrate American solidarity with a continent rattled by Russia's intervention in Ukraine.
But even as Obama warned that Moscow could face further punishments, leaders of Britain, France and Germany were lining up to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at week's end.
Those one-on-one meetings would appear to send a mixed message about the West's approach to relations with Russia, given that the same leaders are also boycotting a summit Putin had been scheduled to host this week.

Choosing the Correct Bed Pillow for Your Sleep Needs
If you wake up in the morning feeling tired sore, you may be sleeping on the wrong pillow. As with the mattress, your pillow should align with the way you sleep and take into consideration any health conditions you might have. In particular, your pillow affects how your neck aligns with your spine, which has a big impact on the quality of your sleep and how you feel each morning. The wrong pillow can lead to neck and back pain, spinal problems and even headaches.
To get the right pillow, sleep experts recommend the following:
- Sleep on your back. Use a thin, flat pillow that comfortably supports the natural curve of the neck. Wedge pillows can also work well with back sleepers.
- Sleep on your side. Choose a contoured pillow that provides firm support while keeping your neck straight. Placing a pillow between your legs can also help to ensure proper spinal alignment.
- Sleep on your stomach. Because this position doesn't require much head support, use a thin pillow to keep from elevating the head at an improperly high angle. Some stomach sleepers will place a pillow under their stomachs to help prevent lower back pain.
Pillow Shopping Tips
A good pillow should be comfortable, flexible and adaptable. Other considerations when shopping for a bed pillow include:
- If you have allergies to certain materials, check to make sure the pillow does not contain any of them. If necessary, you can purchase a hypoallergenic pillow.
- If you have sleep apnea, select a pillow that helps keep your breathing passages open by lifting the chin.
- If comfort is high on your list, a pillow with a high thread count will be softer and more durable.
As with a mattress, be sure to test the pillow before taking it home. This includes taking it out of the plastic wrap to get a true sense of what it feels like. Also, ask if the pillow comes with a "comfort guarantee" that allows you to return the pillow within a certain amount of time if it doesn't suit your needs.
At Sit 'n Sleep, we never underestimate the importance of a quality pillow for a good night's sleep. Come visit your nearest Sit 'n Sleep location and our trained sleep consultants will ensure you walk away with the right pillow for your sleep needs.
As of 12/30/2015, California state law requires retailers to collect an $11 recycling fee on each mattress and each box spring sold. (I.E. A recycling fee of $22 must be assessed for the purchase of one mattress with one box spring.) The amount of the fee was mandated by the state and is not set by individual retailers.

The Mentor® Embedded Nucleus® real time operating system (RTOS) framework includes a complete range of features targeting next-generation wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices for the medical, fitness, and security markets:
Mentor Embedded Nucleus RTOS provides a comprehensive operating system and extensive protocol support for cloud connectivity designed for embedded developers working on wearable devices.
Integrated multicore framework with inter-process communication (IPC) and remote process life cycle supports booting up and shutting down individual processors/cores based on the use-case to conserve power consumption.
Built-in power management framework supports the low power features in processors including dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS), low power and sleep modes, and central processor unit (CPU) idle mode.
Process model for memory space partitioning to support device software upgrades and updates, device provisioning, and software downloads from a user application store.
Support for WYSIWYG graphics development using the Qt® framework.
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the Nucleus real time operating system (RTOS) targeting high-performance, next-generation applications for wearable embedded devices designed for medical, fitness, security, safety and other sectors. The introduction of new multicore system-on-chip (SoC) architectures targeting wearable devices with Internet of Things (IoT) features requires an operating system that has a framework tailored to meet new system requirements. The Nucleus RTOS framework for smart wearable devices connects to other smart devices, gateways, or directly to the cloud. Optimized for size, performance, and power efficiency in unicore or multicore SoCs, the Nucleus RTOS is the first embedded operating system to provide a power management and processor lifecycle framework to maximize wearable device battery life.
The Nucleus RTOS provides memory space partitioning in both high-performance microprocessor units (MPU) and resource-constrained microcontroller units (MCU) to support software updates and upgrades in deployed systems. The Nucleus RTOS includes a rich IPv4/v6 networking stack, M2M protocols, and security for IoT applications and cloud connectivity.
Multicore Framework for Inter-process Communication and Processor Life Cycle
Todays wearable SoCs increasingly combine application-class and microcontroller-class cores onto a single device to consolidate heterogeneous operating environments within a single application. The Nucleus RTOS includes the embedded industrys first complete heterogeneous multicore framework a clean-room implementation of functionality of virtIO,remoteproc, and rpmsg. This framework enables developers to seamlessly integrate the Nucleus RTOS, Linux®, and bare metal-based applications onto a single SoC including inter-process communication (IPC), resource sharing, and processor life cycle control for wearable devices. Developers can control the boot-up and shut-down of individual cores on an SoC, allowing wearable and IoT applications to maximize compute performance or minimize power consumption based on the use-case.
The Nucleus RTOS also incorporates a wide range of standards-compliant networking and communication protocols designed for wearable devices with support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, and 6LoWPAN over 802.15.4 on an array of supported chipsets.
Nucleus Power Management Framework Extends Battery Life
Battery life is critical for connected devices and the new generation of wearable products places new demands on power consumption reduction due to shrinking hardware resources and increasing software complexity. Built from the ground up, the Nucleus power management framework manages the power state for each peripheral, set of peripherals, or the entire wearable system by using simple high-level application programming interface (API) calls. When changing power states, the power management framework allows coordinated control of processor modes, operating frequencies, and peripheral device operation.
Space Partitioning for Device Provisioning
The Nucleus process model is a lightweight approach that provides space partitioning to create protected memory regions that isolate and protect application, middleware and kernel subsystems. Space partitioning enhances reliability and provides the framework to load new applications using cloud services, or to partition large algorithms into smaller components using a just-in-time (JIT) methodology. For devices with limited memory resources, the Nucleus process model efficiently uses memory by loading and unloading software to limit the resident executing code to only the modules necessary at any given moment in time.
Qt Framework for Graphical User Interface Development
The Qt® framework for the Nucleus RTOS improves the user interface (UI) development workflow based on the tight integration of Mentor Embedded tools to provide an environment to create differentiating graphics optimized for the memory footprint requirements for wearable devices. Mentor Embedded tools include integrated software performance for Qt analysis to maximize performance and minimize graphics start-up.

The Portable Ninja Standing Desk
Before hitting grad school, I spent some pleasant months doing tech support at a call center for Norway's largest internet provider. Back then, my minimum wage and a 31% income tax still left me with a living wage and four weeks paid vacation in one of the most expensive countries around, so I had very little to complain about.
Perhaps my favorite memory of that job, besides deciphering Norwegian dialects and slowly developing stereotypes about the people who stood behind them, was using the lone convertible standing desk in the office. Pressing a lever with your foot caused it to slowly rise, or allowed your hands to easily press it down to regular sitting height again. I came in early for each of my shifts to claim it. I spent most of my day standing, but loved the ability to quickly convert to a sitting position when I wanted to rest my legs and back. Surely this was the future, I thought back in 1999, and all office workers will have a desk like this in the next millennium!
More than a decade later, we are still mostly sitting down as we work. Here at ProfHacker, Ryan has been leading the charge to get us to stand up. For me, the sheer expense of getting a really good standing desk like the one I had in '99 has been prohibitive on my grad student and now postdoc budget, but even more difficult since I move so often that shipping the thing around wouldn't make much sense. This past fall, however, I moved into an apartment which just happened to have two stacked wall shelves at almost the perfect height to become a standing work station and I have gotten back into my old standing habit. When I was told about a kickstarter project last year to create a truly portable standing desk, I was very excited. By Christmas the Ninja Standing Desk was in full production. Note: I was given one of their standing desks to review.
The Ninja Standing Desk
I'll list a few of the things I like and some of the shortcomings with the desk below, but the bottom line is that I love this thing. I think it is priced reasonably for a newly designed product out of what seems like a smaller company, it is genuinely portable, and it works more than well enough for my needs.
At its most basic, the ninja standing desk really comes down to some velcro straps, four boards wrapped in two heavy cloth enclosures, four foldable metal tent poles, and some metal loops and hooks to mount it on a door or in a dry wall. The materials appear unremarkable, but it works. As the picture above attests, it comfortably holds, a laptop, an iPad being used as an external monitor (with Air Display app), a keyboard, a cat, and a mouse. The gallery here shows the standing desk in use with larger monitors.
There are some shortcomings mostly due to the tradeoffs made in the design process. Space is limited on the shelves, as you would expect for a portable desk like this. Obviously, you won't be able to have a pile of papers spread out alongside your computer. And don't expect a pop-up umbrella. Setting it up makes you wish you had an extra hand, but by the second time, I was able to put it up in less than four minutes (see the official assembly video here). When you unfold the two boards, they sometimes slightly overlap, so you have to do some manual jiggling. The metal bars that give the boards solidity are kept within a sleeve under the boards and look like they may eventually wear down the surrounding cloth after many repetitions of take-down and reassembly. Memories of the fate of my velcro sneakers in the 1980s makes me wonder how long the velcro straps will retain their adhesive characteristics in the long term. Finally, the lower shelf is a little on the loose side.
None of this has bothered me so far. The stability of the standing desk as a whole has pleasantly surprised me. I have used it on a variety of doors and was surprised that, unless you like to swing the door open wildly, it can even use it on a door that is in fairly regular use without things tumbling off the desk. Overall, it is great for what it promises: a very light and portable (comes with a simple traveler bag) standing desk with two shelves that can be customized to the height that works for the user and for a variety of places it is attached. If you have one office to rule them all, then a nice solid standing desk that can be fixed to multiple heights is probably the way to go, but this works great for those of us who often find themselves on the move.
Have you tried any other portable and affordable solutions for standing desks? What's been your experience? Please let us know in the comments.Return to Top

Discussion in 'Disney Restaurants' started by wiltonken, Nov 10, 2008.
Just curious. Any reviews for the new T-REX Restaurant at Downtown Disney?
It's like Rain Forest but with dinos. The food was not that great ( but everyones taste is different). For my family it was a one time thing to check it out.
Log in or Sign up

We ate there twice. There certainly are many similarities to rainforest but our experience was that the food was much better, esp the Tortellini. The Rotisserie Chicken was also quite good. All 3 of us agreed the food was much better.
My DW and I ate there 10-31-2008. We went for an early dinner and to see the son of a friend. The son works there on the wait staff. He recomended the crusted, parmesian shrimp. I found it very tastey. My wife enjoyed her pasta dish. The atmosphere was loud, the dinosaurs make noises. There is a simulated meteor shower every 15 or 20 minutes.
For those with little ones, they have a build-a-bear room that features little dinos instead of bears. This place will be a money maker.
We went there the 3rd day it opened. Our service was crummy, at best. I took us almost 1.5 hours from being seated to finishing our food (appx 45 min for our burgers, we did not order appetizers!) Once was enough, great theming, but we ate in the glacier (blue) room and it was very loud!!!
As this is not a DVC specific thread, I'm moving it to the Restaurants Board.
Somehow I am just picturing a Chuckie Cheese, only dinosaur style.
Would it be too scary for a 5 and 3 year old?
It's going to depend on the kids. We have had several reports from parents whose toddlers were frightened - the place was too dark and too loud.
That T Rex just in the entryway was pretty fierce, esp when he roared and moved around! We looked around but did not dine so I'm not sure what the dinos instead looked like.
Can you get ADR's here, or is it walk-in basis? My DS9 would LOVE this place and I'm thinking of adding it to the list.
No reservations until next year. And then you won't be able to make them through Disney but will need to call the restaurant directly.
Next year, as in June? That's when we're going. Thanks for the info!
No dates were given for when they'll start taking reservations. The best we've heard is "sometime in 2009"
We ate there this past friday Nov 7th. We thought the food was much better than Rainforest. The bruschetta was really good, my pasta i think it was called the triassic tortellini was great. My mom wasn't thrilled with her chicken it wasn't bad just so so. The dessert was fantastic!!! We got the chocolate extinction. Not only is it delicious but the way it comes out is great. It's huge though definitely waaaaaay too much for two people. We weren't aware of that before we ordered it. Our food was very fast we didn't wait at all but we were there around 3 pm. We were seated in the Sequoia Room. We didn't find it to be dark except when the meteor shower comes. The dinos are quite loud still. They could be toned down a bit.
Supersaurus sampler: Bruschetta on top, onion rings and chicken quesadillas in the middle, and spinach and pepper jack queso with chips on the bottom.
Triassic tortellini
Wooly Mammoth chicken
Chocolate extinction
And I had to post the pics of the bathroom doors too cute!!
Don't know if it's just what you all ordered - but I see way too many peas in the sauces.... just an observation. (I'm not crazy about peas)
We had lunch there yesterday and it was fun. Arrived around 10:45, no wait list, just get in line and they begin to seat at 11. We were seated in the ice room, in and out in about an hour and fifteen minutes. DH came down with a really nasty stomach bug, so he had the french onion soup, he said it wa good. Younger DD had the pasta with marinara, she enjoyed it. DD13 and I (along with DD11) shared the boneyard buffet, ribs and rotisserie chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and baked beans. A ton of food, half rack of ribs and half of a tasty rotisserie chicken. ALl three of us left food on the plate. The girls had the icees in the bone glass, sodas for DH and I, tab was $60 without the tip. THe food seemed tastier than RFC to us though, so we'll probably be back.
I don't have T Rex down as a place to eat on our Oct 2009 trip, but I would like to go in for an appetizer or desert for a snack so we could check the place out. My ds's really enjoyed Rainforest Cafe, so this place would probably be a hit!
O.M.G. That chocolate dessert is ginormous! I'll be ordering that when we go in January, for sure! yum!
I am thinking of surprising ds by going here in January for his b day--- however, he is beyond picky- and one menu I saw, it didn't look like there were chicken tenders.... can anyone confirm this? or check if are going and PM me??
thanks SO SO much...
going there would work out really well-- mid afternoon lunch after a AM at DHS and then return to DHS for one of the 2 Fantasmic shows of the week (park closes at 7pm)
Separate names with a comma.

Sony's put together some of the absolute best videogame franchises and in gaming history over the past three years of the PlayStation 3's life. Creating and maintaining that momentum proved to be very pivotal as the PS3's library of games is perceived to be the best of the entire generation, suddenly turning around a tide of hate that once pegged Sony's console at the bottom of the heap. So it only made sense for Sony to take these successful franchises and bring them down to the PSP, a system whose sales have been on the upward streak since 2008, but with software sales unusually poor. Games like Final Fantasy and God of War proved that there is potential for the PSP and software sales, and for 2009 Sony has really been trying to exploit the PSP's potential by releasing a ton of quality games, from Gran Turismo, to MotorStorm, and even LittleBigPlanet, which is what I'm here to talk about.

John Hardy designer Guy Bedarida talks Bali, bamboo and beautiful jewelry
In an increasingly interconnected global market where the emphasis on social responsibility appears to grow every day, one jewelry company is doing its part to set a new standard in sustainability.
Head jewelry designer and creative director of John Hardy, Guy Bedarida, alongside CEO Damien Dernoncourt, helms a design team that's powered by a vision of establishing a sustainable luxury company that will serve as a source of inspiration for its peers.
Bedarida, who will be in Vancouver for an appearance at Holt Renfrew Feb. 9, took a break from his design duties to chat about John Hardy's Bali operations, bamboo and his favourite thing: beautiful jewelry.
Q: How and when did you get involved with John Hardy?
A: In early 1999, I was the head designer of Van Cleef and Arpels and received a call from a head hunter. He was looking on behalf of a jewelry company in Bali for a designer. I declined the offer because I loved to be in the U.S., and especially working and designing for VCA.
However, the following day, I received another phone call from Mr. John Hardy himself to let me know he respected my decision immensely and offered me an invitation to visit Bali. I had never been to Bali, but had heard so many wonderful things about it, and I decided to go. It was there that I discovered the talent of the Balinese artisans and was very impressed by the fact that everything was made by hand.
Plus the paradise island and climate was one of the most beautiful I'd ever seen. While touring the compound, it suddenly came to my mind that I could really do something with this brand, especially with the talented Balinese artisans as my colleagues. Later that week, I went back to NYC, resigned, and moved to Bali!
Q: What drew you to the jewelry-design industry?
A: I have always had a passion for beautiful and precious objects, and a fascination for gems and their colours.
Q: If there were one mission statement that summed up the brand, what would it be?
A: Authentic, beautiful jewelry, handmade with passion and love in Bali.
Q: The John Hardy brand is celebrated for its sustainable practices and "Greener Every Day" motto. What makes it so green?
A: Greener Every Day is our philosophy and vision. We are creating and working in the middle of the nature of Bali, and this has helped us to realize that we have to protect the environment that we love so much.
Much of John Hardy's collections are inspired by nature, so it is of the utmost importance to protect it. Through our goal to be Greener Every Day, we have started several green initiatives. Our entire compound is green, and as of August 2012, all of our jewelry is made from 100-percent recycled silver.
Q: Are all of the products created in Bali?
A: All the products are designed in Bali. However, they can be made in Bali or in Bangkok, where we have workshops. Sometimes we choose to create our pieces in Bangkok because we can get a different stone selection that is not available in Bali, as well as obtain a greater knowledge of those stones. Regardless, whether in Bali or Bangkok, the art of carving and weaving is totally unique.
Q: What's the brand's approach to social responsibility in Bali? And what is the bamboo-planting initiative?
A: We take our responsibility to preserve the environment very seriously and hope that in our initiatives, people will be inspired to follow suit and do their part to protect the environment. Through "Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo," every time one item of jewelry is sold, we replant real bamboo to offset our carbon emissions.
Q: I was told the company's operations help to sustain two villages in Bali through direct employment. If so, how does it do so?
A: This is in reference to our Job for Life program. It is our goal to help disadvantaged Balinese orphans by providing real-world experience through an apprenticeship. We try to help ease the transition from the orphanage as much as possible by teaching them several work skills that they can bring with them.
Q: Why do you feel John Hardy is a good fit for the Canadian consumer?
A: John Hardy is the kind of jewelry that you can wear for all occasions. It works very well for casual everyday life or it can really dress up an outfit for a formal event. I've always found the Canadian consumer to have a very versatile style and think John Hardy could really fit in.
Q: You're making an appearance at Holt Renfrew in Vancouver this Saturday. Is this your first trip to Vancouver?
A: This will be my second trip to Vancouver, but I am excited to make my return.
What: Personal appearance by Guy Bedarida, head designer at John Hardy
Where: Holt Renfrew Vancouver
When: Saturday Feb. 9, 1:30-4:30 p.m.

Morris, 32, of Birmingham, is one of at least 39 former can i take two 10mg valium federal inmates sentenced on crack cocaine charges in Alabama who were given an early release from prison after new sentencing guidelines went into effect Nov. 1. At least 33 others could be released soon.
The changes to sentencing guidelines stem from the move by Congress to cut down on disparities between those sentenced for crack offenses and those sentenced for the powder version of cocaine.
will valium knock me out The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 changed the amounts of crack needed to trigger mandatory minimum sentences. The amount of crack required for a mandatory five-year sentence for crack cocaine distribution increased from 5 grams to 28 grams (about 1 ounce) and the amount for a mandatory 10-year sentence from 50 grams to 280 grams. Congress asked the U.S. Sentencing Commission to change its guidelines to conform to the new law.
Civil rights groups and others had fought for the changes because they said it was unfair for people charged for a certain amount of powder cocaine to be sentenced to much fewer years in prison than those charged with having the same amount of the "crack" version of the same drug. The disparities were falling more on minorities and the poor.
There's no reason why someone in possession of the rock -- or crack -- form of cocaine should be treated any differently than someone possessing the powder form, said David Luker, a Birmingham lawyer who has a client also released almost immediately after changes in the guidelines. "I think everybody is cognizant of the fact that (law) has been applied in the past in a way that was very harsh," he said.
Luker declined to name his client who was released from a federal prison in can i take valium to thailand Mississippi days after he was ordered released on Nov. 22.
Since the guideline changes federal probation offices around the nation, including in valium schedule 8 Alabama's three federal court districts, have been determining whether prisoners are eligible to receive a reduction and submitting reports and their recommendations to the courts. Judges, with input from the U.S. Attorneys Offices in those districts, then make a determination on whether to grant the sentence reductions.
Release motions
Federal judges in Alabama have denied a number of the petitions, granted others, and some are still pending.
David Russell, chief probation officer for the how long until valium is out of my system Northern District of Alabama which includes Birmingham, said 149 motions had been filed so far seeking relief for prisoners under the new guidelines. Out of those, 14 defendants have been determined to be eligible, including six who were immediately released -- including Morris.
Eighty percent of those seeking changes in their sentences are gong to be ineligible for various reasons, including mandatory minimum sentences where the sentences can't be changed, Russell said. Others are career offenders or have shown violence in prison, he said.
The average sentence reduction for those already given reductions is 25 months, including those immediately released, Russell said. "I think it's been a good thing in the fairness of sentencing," he said.
Morris, like many of the others released so far, had already been given a reduced sentence after changes to sentencing guidelines in 2007. He was granted a reduction in his original sentence of 110 months down to 92 months.
Morris had been sentenced Sept. 13, 2006, after pleading guilty to four counts of selling, distributing or dispensing valium for anxiety and back pain crack cocaine. Birmingham police had arrested Morris after making undercover buys of crack and handguns from him in late 2005, according to his plea agreement. Morris had admitted in that agreement to having sold the drugs because he needed the money to buy Christmas presents for his daughter.
The federal court's Southern District, based in benzonatate valium Mobile, had both a higher number of inmates seeking early release and a higher number who were granted it.
Ken Coale, the chief probation officer for the Southern District, said they had 259 motions filed for sentence reductions. Of those, 150 motions had been decided by the court as of Wednesday, including 84 that were denied and 66 deemed eligible for release, he said.
Of the 66 deemed eligible for release, 33 have already been released and the other 33 are being processed, Coale said.
The cases of prisoners who might be eligible for release were placed at the top of the heap so they were considered first, Coal said.
Efforts to reach a probation officer to get numbers for the Middle District of Alabama, which includes Montgomery, were unsuccessful last week.
Just because a prisoner is eligible under the new guidelines, however, doesn't mean the judge will grant it.
"Even if a defendant is eligible for a sentence reduction -- because his sentencing range has been lowered by a retroactive Sentencing Guidelines amendment -- a reduction is not automatic," said U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance. "Ultimately, only the court can make the decision whether to grant a sentence reduction."
In making the decision, the judge must consider statutory sentencing factors, such as mandatory minimum sentences, as well as the effect of any sentence reduction on public safety, Vance said. "The court may also consider the defendant's conduct while in prison," she said.
"Our office evaluates each request for a sentence reduction to determine whether we think the defendant is eligible for relief, and then whether we think the court should grant relief in light of the particular circumstances of the case," Vance said.

Graduation Day
I made this little video for family that wanted to see Atticus' promotion ceremony. It was on Friday. The video is crappy, and you can't see him (or hear him). He's wearing a blue on blue sweater and has really blond hair if that helps.
Something else I noticed is that I have more photos of Zane at Atticus' preschool then of Atticus. I guess every time that I was there I had Zane in tow and he stayed within photo range.
So here it is, family (and anyone else bored enough to watch):

|Strength of Schedule Report
May 8, 2008
Prospectus Preview
Thursday's Games to Watch
Matchup: Indians (16-17) at Yankees (17-18), 1:05 p.m. ET
Byrd may need to face New York in this altered state, as he has already given up 1.9 HR/9 and 14.9 percent HR/FB, both of which would be career highs if they last the season. Byrd has always been susceptible to the long ball, but with the decreasing velocity of his offerings over the past few years it's become even more of a problem. On the other side, since a beating at the hands of Boston stirred Hank Steinbrenner's ire, Mussina has pitched much better: over his last three starts, he has struck out five per nine while only walking one over the same time period, and he's kept his HR/9 down to one per nine as well. Granted, he did face Chicago and Seattle (21st and 19th in Team EqA) during those starts, but he threw a solid effort against Cleveland in that span as well.
Matchup: Phillies (20-15) at Diamondbacks (22-12), 12:40 p.m. MT
His opponent has not found historical success like Webb, as Myers has lost a full strikeout per nine since his last go-round as a starter in '06 while adding on homers. Myers has given up 2.3 HR/9, coming on almost 22 percent of his fly balls. His drop in fastball velocity has made him susceptible to four-baggers, though looking back, this isn't a new issue: before Myers was moved to the bullpen in 2007, he posted a 9.39 ERA, 5.3 BB/9 and 2.9 HR/9 over 15 1/3 innings. That's a small sample, but if he needed the boost in velocity that comes with moving to the pen and shorter appearances if he's going to get hitters out consistently, moving back to the rotation in 2008 may not have been the best allocation of the Phillies' pitching resources. Then again, who else is going to start for a Phillies team that has Adam Eaton in the rotation?
Matchup: Red Sox (22-14) at Tigers (15-20), 7:05 p.m. ET
Verlander has not been as impressive, and his struggles are part of the reason the Tigers have not been able to walk all over the league during the past month. His velocity has risen over the past few starts, which is a positive sign; whereas he was closer to 91-92 mph earlier in the year, he's now averaging 93 mph. Location is still a problem, as evidenced by his 4.2 BB/9 and a lack of strikeouts. Considering his strong finish to the season in 2007-he struck out 8.5 per nine with just 2.5 walks per over his last six starts-and the recent increase in velocity, Tigers fans can breathe a tentative sigh in relief that their ace is not struggling due to an injury, but instead due to a mechanical issue or lack of adjustment. While that may seem problematic as well, the latter two can be fixed without his having to go under the knife.
Matchup: Orioles (16-18) at Royals (15-18), 7:10 p.m. CT
His opponent started the season at Triple-A before making his 2008 debut on April 20. Though that start against Oakland didn't go so well for Hochevar-he only lasted 4 2/3 innings, giving up six runs on nine hits and three walks-he's pitched well in his last two starts. PECOTA thinks the 6'5" right-hander is capable of league-average production at the upper levels of his forecast already, but his weighted mean is ugly: 5.53 ERA, 0.9 SNLVAR in 124 1/3 innings pitched. Hochevar has the talent-he was #72 on Kevin Goldstein's Top 100 Prospects of 2008-so now it's to be seen if he has the ability to adjust to major league hitters. Tonight's start against an Orioles lineup with an EqA of .251 should give him a good shot at showing us what he's capable of.
Matchup: Rangers (15-20) at Mariners (14-21), 7:10 p.m. PT
Everyone keeps waiting for the King to "arrive," but what we may not have noticed is that he's already here. Last year he had a 3.92 ERA, but his QERA was 3.38; you can blame Seattle's defense for that, as their Defensive Efficiency ranked 27th in the league at .678. This year it's more of the same, as they are ranked 26th with a .692 figure. If you want someone to point a finger at for giving you performances under your expectations, Seattle's defense is the place to look, not Hernandez. One thing to note while watching tonight is that Felix has cut down using his slider even further. After throwing it 21 percent of the time in 2007, he's down to 13 percent in '08, in favor of additional fastballs and changeups. It's a filthy pitch, and as Will Carroll tells us, thrown properly, it doesn't cause significantly more stress than a fastball.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Here's one example of a non-dischargeability complaint:
Keep in mind, however, that such complaints will be fact-intensive and should be drafted by an attorney if at all possible.
A nondischargeability complaint needs to be filed on or before the Objection Deadline. The docket will say something like "Objections to Discharge/Dischargeability due by [date]." That date is the last day to object to discharge or file a nondischargeability complaint.
Note that if you're filing a nondischargeability complaint, it needs to be filed as an Adversary Complaint.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

PLANS to regenerate Beechwood Park are gaining momentum and engaging young people will be vital if the park is to reach its former glory, one of the people leading the drive had said.
Kevin O'Shea, part of a group hoping to bring in grant funds to improve the park, said anti-social behaviour had been a challenge in the past but could be overcome.
"The vision is to get the whole community, young, middle aged and elderly on board," Mr O'Shea said.
"A few weeks ago I saw some boys setting fire to a tree. I said to one of them, 'Why are you setting fire to a beautiful tree in the middle of a park, what's the point?' He stopped what he was doing and said, 'It's just something to do.' Do something better with your life!"
Many council-run facilities face uncertain futures, Mr O'Shea said, as budgets are tightened.
He added: "What if we lost Beechwood Park? Not that it's going to happen, but think of all that would be lost.
"I'm passionate about it. We can make it something Newport can be proud of."
He pointed to the example of Belle Vue Park, which had secured significant funding while Beechwood had been passed over.
Big plans to improve the park include possibly reopening the paddling pool, installing an adventure playground and upgrading the tennis courts, as well holding as a fun day and a "Try Golf" day.
An open day held last Saturday was a success, Mr O'Shea said: "We received 45 completed questionnaires with 16 people offering to join. A pretty good success ratio I think - considering the weather conditions. We also distributed a further 28 that have yet to be completed and returned. Councillor and Mrs Truman took a number to be distributed in their ward and I have approximately 80 that I will be distributing in the area around the park as well as a number left at the café.
"All in all it was a very satisfactory outcome that has provided us with a lot of interesting intelligence that will be collated and documented prior to our next meeting."
The next meeting to discuss ways to ensure the park's future and ways to improve it will be held on September 11. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for information.

Jack Johnson scored the go-ahead goal with 4:48 left and the Columbus Blue Jackets capped a remarkable turnaround with a 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators Saturday.
But despite that win, Columbus was eliminated from the playoff race when the Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche later on Saturday to earn the final postseason spot in the Western Conference.
Coming into the night, the Blue Jackets were tied for eighth in the West with Minnesota, each with 53 points.
Montreal 4, Toronto 1: Lars Eller had a goal and two assists and the Montreal Canadiens sent Toronto a pre-playoff message Saturday night, defeating the sluggish Maple Leafs 4-1.
The Canadiens did it without No. 1 goalie Carey Price, who was given the night off in favor of Peter Budaj. Rubbing salt into the wound, Montreal chased Toronto starter James Reimer early in the third period.
Philadelphia 2, Ottawa 1: Jakub Voracek scored the winner, Steve Mason made 43 saves and the Philadelphia Flyers closed out the season with a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Washington 3, Boston 2 (OT): Eric Fehr scored on a power play 3:23 into overtime, and the Washington Capitals, with nothing at stake Saturday night, came back for a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins, who are trying to win the Northeast Division.
Minnesota 3, Colorado 1: Devin Setoguchi broke a second-period tie and Niklas Backstrom stopped 29 shots, helping the Minnesota Wild secure their first playoff spot in five years with a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.
Detroit 3, Dallas 0: The Detroit Red Wings are headed to the playoffs for the 22nd straight season after Henrik Zetterberg had two goals and an assist in a 3-0 victory over the Dallas Stars.
