The Curonian Spit
... prices weren't so impressive! We made a stop at the supermarket for some supplies for dinner and caught the bus back to Juodkrante. We cooked ourselves a nice dinner (of course!) and unable to battle the eyelids any longer, we gave in and slept. ...
Early morning I left Kretinga and drove to Klaipeda from where I took the ferry, only a 10 minute ride, over to the Curonian Spit. After visiting two visitor centres and both not really helpful I went searching for a place to stay. It was a bit difficult ...

The David Apperson Memorial Golf Tournament will be held next weekend at Circlestone Country Club in Adel.
The tournament will begin Friday, March 1, and will be held across all three days of the weekend.
While it is too late to buy a hole sponsorship, it is not too late to register a 3-person team for the tournament on any of the three days.
The cost is $375 for a team of three players, and includes green and cart fees and a lunch on the day of the event.
All proceeds of the event benefit local area schools and, starting this year, Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundations.
"Our goal has always been to support our local schools but this year we are extending our support to a college dear to us," said John Scarboro, the owner of Circlestone Country Club and Apperson's father-in-law. "Many Wiregrass Georgia Technical College students were impacted by the Hope changes and some were forced to drop out or drop classes in order to save money to finish their education. When we heard how they were impacted, we decided to open our hearts by providing some deserving students with scholarships."
Teams may register for the event until next Wednesday, Feb. 27, through the Circlestone Country Club Pro Shop.
Persons interested may contact golf pro Travis Lane at 229-896-3896 or the Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Foundation South at 229-293-6190.
Players will submit their handicap scores prior to competing in the tournament to help better accurately monitor scoring in the event.
Prizes will be awarded each day of the tournament, with the winning team earning $400. Second and third place teams will receive plaques commemorating their finish.
The Jim Apperson Memorial Tournament was established to honor Jim Apperson, who died in the earthquake that ravished Haiti in Jan. 2010.
Apperson, an avid golfer who was better known for helping the less fortunate, was in the country's capitol city, Port au Prince, when the earthquakes began. He was working on building basketball courts for the local community.
An event established by his family, the golf tournament began as a one-day golf event in Adel that has now flourished into a three-day event.
Importantly, the tournament was established to honor David's legacy and help the local schools in the process.

Election afterthoughts
- Last Updated on 08:24 AM 11/14/12
- BY Paula I. Bryant
What we've heard since last Tuesday's election has surprised us. No, not about the results, but we've found it alarming that a number of people missed out on voting for the president, and these are intelligent voters who simply missed their opportunity.
They went to the polls too, had their proper forms of identification, patiently stood in line and waited their turn, only to realize after it was done, they hadn't voted for president.
They weren't trying to vote twice, but some county voters were truly confused when they finished voting on Tuesday because they hadn't cast their ballot for president.
After hitting "record ballot," all too many realized their error. Some asked poll workers about it, others quietly left the polls not wanting anyone to know they had missed their opportunity.
After all was said and done Tuesday, it seems it wasn't just a single local precinct problem either, but rather more voters than you would expect here and in surrounding counties cast their ballots without voting for president.
The State Board of Elections received similar complaints.
The problem has perplexed election officials and had some scratching their heads because the ballot on Tuesday had the exact same layout as the ballot in the 2008 presidential election.
The only difference was a small space indention when listing the party name for the presidential candidates.
From what we're hearing, some voters had expected the presidential candidates to be listed on a separate page. Instead they were found on the left side of the page, and some voters just looked at the right side where the U. S. Senate and Congressional candidates were listed.
Halifax County's ballot was the same one used by 23 other localities, and some of them reported issues with people not voting for president as well.
It confirms what people in the newspaper business have known for a long time, readers' eyes focus first on the right side of a page and often stray away from "wordy" copy.
Evidently, the left side of last Tuesday's presidential election ballot was "too wordy" for some voters who simply skirted past it to the right side of the ballot that was less verbose.
Before they knew it, many had hit the "record ballot" in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and then it was too late to go back to the candidates' page.
And yes I did cast my vote for president, but I can see how it could have happened because I too voted first for the candidates on the right hand side of the page before going back to the left to find the presidential candidate of choice.
Just goes to prove we're all human.
One happy group
Producer members of county Farm Bureaus throughout Virginia are extremely pleased that Question 1 on the Virginia ballot passed by 75 percent on Nov. 6.
Wayne Pryor, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, seems to be one of the happiest.
"All farmers depend on their land for their livelihood, and the amendment to Virginia's constitution that voters approved this week will help protect their property rights," Pryor said. "We're pleased the General Assembly and the governor worked with us to put this amendment to a popular vote, and we're looking forward to it going into effect on Jan. 1, 2013."
The amendment requires all government and private condemning authorities to assure that any eminent domain condemnation is for public purposes, not for private gain. It also requires that property owners be paid fair market value for their land, limits taking land to that only necessary for the public purpose and requires compensation to landowners for lost business and access.
"The Question 1 private property rights amendment tilts the scales back in favor of the landowner" in an eminent domain dispute, Pryor said. "For many years that hasn't been the case. Landowners can always sue to dispute an eminent domain taking or the amount of compensation, but legal proceedings take time and lots of money. Those are two things most Virginians don't have a lot of."

Had my eyes dialated today, and after 46 years of diabetes, he said I had a tiny tiny dot in my right eye, I think he said aneurysm. He gave me a report to give to endo and it states diabetic retinopathy right eye. He stated nothing needs to be done, and not to worry and it could even go away. He said pretty good after 46 years, isn't that like saying an A1C of 7 is pretty good because your a diabetic. I asked if I should come back sooner than 1 year he said nope, and he truly sounded not worried, but.............I AM WORRIED.
Views: 600
Yikes! I'm worried for you! I didn't like the first eye doc I saw up here and just went to LensCrafters (who did the whole retina exam thing...) but am always nervous about that stuff!! I'm glad he sounds laid back about it but I totally understand and will worry along with you for a while!!
Is this a doctor you have been seeing for a while, and have confidence in ? Based on your comment of it being a (single ?)tiny tiny dot, I would tend to agree that no immediate treatment is required. But I would disagree with the 1 year for followup.
If you're not confident with him, maybe you could review the results with your endo, or seek a second opinion from another ophthalmologist or retinal specialist. If you get additional symptoms, like red flashes or floaters, definitely get another appt.
Here is something from my dr's website:
The most important way to prevent visual loss in diabetes to keep blood sugars and blood pressures under good control. Keeping the Hemoglobin A1C (long term measure of sugar control) under 7.0 is extremely important. Tight blood sugar control reduces the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Even if retinopathy develops, patients with tight control tend to have mild and non-sight threatening retinopathy. Annual check-ups by your eye doctor or retina specialist after the diagnosis of diabetes and every 6 month follow-up evaluation once diabetic retinopathy develops is important.
I also have 46 years of T1, and have had significant retinopathy, laser treatments and surgery, and my dr also tells me I'm in pretty good shape compared to others with 46 years !
Thanks for the information, made me feel better. I have been going to this MD for a long time and I have total confidence in him. I go to endo next month and he gave me a report to share with him, and I definitely will ask about a second opinion. I have worried about complications like this for 46 years
I have a tiny spot in my eye which was discovered a couple of years ago. My ophthalmologist said not to worry over this as she sees this type of spot in folks as young as 17. I am far older than that. A diabetic with a tiny spot is not a big deal, but we keep an eye on it (no pun intended). It has not changed in two years...and I have no problem with my sight other than being near sighted. Please don't worry, Karen.
thank you to the other karen :)
I am seeing my opthalmologist on Monday and your post makes me nervous. In the 37 years I have been going to the eye guy he has always said he saw no diabetic changes. He also told me a few years ago that if he hadn't seen anything after 35 years he most likely would never see anything. But apparently a tiny, tiny, dot is exactly what he said it is. Not something to stress over so I guess if it were me I would just be happy it was not a big big dot ? Also doctors are notorious for covering their asses. If they see even the tiniest of changes and don't report them then they can be held liable.
so true Clare, I think my endo has an eye guy right in the office, so might just have him check me out too
6 years ago I went to the eye doctor and had the same thing happen to me. Retinopathy in one eye. We were worried for a little while and I really focused on getting my blood sugar in tight control.
Next time I went to the eye doctor it had completely disappeared. My eyes have been completely clear ever since, despite ups and downs with blood sugar control. So it definitely can go away!
I won't tell you not to worry...but worry productively! See what you can do to get even tighter control of your bloodsugar and see if it's still there in 6 months to a year.
You should be seeing a Doctor with modern equipment that scans and takes digital images inside of your eye. He should show you the results and compare the images each time you go to see him. I have a small spot in one eye, it has been there for the 6 years he has been taking photos of it, no change so it appears to be a old scar, no worry. The photos will bring comfort and they are easy to understand.
Karen. If your dr is not a retinal specialist with great experience in diabetic retinopathy, please find one who will determine if your spot is benign or if it is proliferative retinopathy. I am not trying to alarm you, but there are excellent preventative measures like photo pan coagulation that can effectively arrest progression. I had the procedure at the age of 21 and I am now 51 with no recurrence and relatively good vision. Please do not dismiss it as just a spot until you have had a good specialist do the appropriate tests and analysis.

Is ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics accredited? The Institute for Creation Research has chosen not to seek accreditation for the following reasons:
A frequent question asked of many colleges is "Is your school 'accredited,' and if not, why not?" (The question often implies that a "no" answer reveals something about quality,1 rather than something about politics.) ICR's quick answer to this question is "No, by choice"—and ICR's strategic mission-related reasons (which include academic freedom and ICR's longstanding commitment to young-earth biblical creation) for that answer are summarized below.
In short, the pervasive influence of evolution's domination of higher education controls accreditation politics in America, especially in Texas (where ICR is based), and ICR does not "bow" to evolutionary doctrine. As noted below, there is currently no young-earth biblical creation-oriented accrediting association that is "legal" in the state of Texas, and ICR sees no need to seek accreditation approval from accreditors who are dominated by old-earth evolutionary thinking. Despite academic peer pressures, ICR prefers to use its available academic freedoms to stand faithful to its understanding of the truths about God and His creation, as those truths are authoritatively taught in the Holy Bible.2
To qualify for any kind of college accreditation in Texas, a private college may not advertise its accreditation status (with any accrediting agency) unless and until the accrediting agency is officially favored ("approved") by the Texas state government. All other accreditation affiliations are deemed illegal, even if they are approved by the federal government (e.g., TRACS), notwithstanding the historic tradition of "freedom of association" in educational circles. As indicated below, despite recent litigations,3 the state of Texas currently approves only a small number of accrediting associations (e.g., SACS, ABHE, DETC), yet none of those are young-earth biblical creationist in their orientation. (TRACS, a biblical creationist accrediting agency, is currently illegal in Texas, despite being approved by the U.S. Department of Education.) This means that a Christian college may not advertise itself as being "accredited" by any accrediting association that is not currently approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). In Texas (and in many other states), a private college must also have its degree-approved programs (even the program's curriculum and institutional academic viewpoint) approved by a state government agency, even when the state regulatory agency is dominated by unbelievers and even if the private college is entirely funded by private sources. This form of political regulation of private education is a stark departure from America's heritage of Bible-based education and private academic freedom.
For example, teaching science education from a biblical creationist viewpoint (for a Master of Science degree program) is unacceptable to the college regulators in Texas (and also in California, where ICR began), and that restraint on academic freedom has been recently confirmed by federal and state court rulings in Texas (and in California). ICR is now based in Texas, where the THECB fined a Protestant seminary for providing Bible-focused undergraduate and graduate programs without the THECB's prior approval of the seminary's textbooks, theological faculty, personnel policies, etc.—even though the seminary's curriculum was completely founded on teaching the Holy Bible's doctrines and that Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior for Adam's fallen race. Thankfully, the Texas Supreme Court disapproved that conduct of the THECB in a ruling4 that discussed how state government approval or rejection of Bible/theology programs is tantamount to establishing government-approved religious education, which violates constitutional restraints on government favoring ("establishing") one form of private religious education over others. Thus, presently in Texas, there is still recognized an academic freedom for religious higher education that "exempts" any such program from THECB oversight and censorship. ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics, because its programs are foundationally biblical and theological and apologetic in content, is thus exempt from THECB oversight.
So the question remains: Although ICR's School of Biblical Apologetics is exempt from THECB oversight, why is it not "accredited"? Exemption from THECB oversight is one thing, politically speaking, but being allowed to advertise an accredited status is another. In Texas, unless a private accrediting association is government-favored, it is deemed illegal by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. At present, the only young-earth creationist accreditation association for Christian colleges is TRACS, yet it is currently deemed illegal in Texas (even though it is approved by the U.S. Department of Education), because it is not on THECB's approved list. ICR has no intention of trading its 40 years of fidelity to young-earth creation, as taught in the Bible (and as demonstrated by ICR's foundational tenets—www.icr.org/tenets), and its academic freedom, just to be accepted by an evolutionary-oriented accrediting association favored by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (which is dominated by those who disagree with ICR's tenets).
In sum, ICR has consciously decided to prefer institutional academic freedom to provide its Master of Christian Education degree program in furtherance of ICR's biblical creation viewpoint (as summarized by ICR's tenets), rather than compromise with the accreditation politics now operating in Texas.References

If you ask 100 potential Full Time RV'ers this question, you would get 100 different answers. But if you do a bit of distilling you will soon come up with a reason that all of them will have in common. None of the respondents will ever realize this, but the main reason will be that it is programmed into their paradigm to stay exactly where they are.
First let me explain what a paradigm is. It is nothing more than a collection of beliefs that controls every aspect of your life. You will have paradigms about money, marriage, sex, raising children and just about everything in life. I also talked about this in my last post since I have come to understand that it is one of the major blocks that most people have to change in their lives.
So where do these paradigms come from? Well they come from our parents, teachers, television, radio and every other outside source imaginable. It is said that by the time we are 5 years old we will have acquired 80 percent of who we are going to be in life. In most cases this belief of how our life is going to be is so strong that we are trapped in its prison till we die. And the main problem with this is that most people never realize they are in this prison, and you cannot break out of a prison unless you realize you are in one.
For most people the paradigm tells them that they should have a house with a two car
garage, have two cars in that garage, a white picket fence, and 2.4 children. The bad part of this paradigm usually also includes a mortgage, a loan for the cars, and credit card debt. The paradigm is so deep that when the mortgage gets to the point where it is almost paid off, it is time for a bigger house just to get back into the larger mortgage.
If you ever try and move out of this lifestyle and do something different you will be confronted by friends and neighbors who are worried about you. They will think that since you are doing something different than them, there is something wrong with you. Most people will cave to this pressure, and thus reinforce the paradigm.
What if you could just escape and get into a different group of people who thought differently? Well this is actually the best thing that can happen to you, and in the case of the Full Time RV lifestyle, it is easy to do.
Currently there are an estimated One Million full time RV'ers. If you think slightly into your future and see yourself among them, then chances are things will start to change in your life. When you actually get among these people your paradigms will start to shift since you now have support instead of criticism. The thing that keeps paradigms in place is the fact that we keep reinforcing and empowering them. Being among people who actually do think different will start to shift your paradigm to be similar to what the people around you think.
This is a valuable piece of information to the prospective Full Time RV'er. Just by being around other Full Time RV'ers your paradigms about how your life should be lived will change. And the beauty of this is the fact that if you do it once, you will free yourself to do it again. You have broken out of the prison.
In our own life we experienced exactly that. When we first started to Full Time RV we had our share of detractors. But once we were fully ensconced in the RV lifestyle and around other Full Time RV'ers we soon realized that this was the life for us. We tasted freedom. Then after 11 years we wanted to take it even a step further and this time easily moved up to our new Full Time Lifestyle on a Sailboat traveling around the world. Once you change a paradigm once, the next time is much easier.
Blow those paradigms clear out of the ballpark!

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

Looks great. I'll buy it
I think that hopping is quite odd. Actually quite tired of all this drifting, and it hurts in the finger pushing that extra button all the time playing with wii wheel. Where is that auto drifting mode offered in Mario Kart Wii. It was a joy to play not having to manually drift around corners and even the kids could easily drive along, now it's to difficult for them to manoeure through sharp corners. Nintendo please make a patch to include auto drift, and drop that stupid hopping. Thanks very much.
It's great with this fast quickstart menu on the home button, but the power button should take me directly to wiiu menu as before, instead the quickstart menu shows up an I have to push a button 2 times to get to the wiiu menu..
@XyVoX It's pure business. Nintendo need to sell more Wiiu's. So now it's time for your friends and the millions of ofter people playing Mario Kart online for free in several years, to show their love for Nintendo and their great games. So tell them to buy the Wiiu and Mario kart 8. Spread the word.
@SirQuincealot Thanks for your help. I'm from Denmark so it can sometimes be a little hard to explain my opinion in english, but again for me a solid frame rate is very important and sadly Diddy Kong Racing and a lot other N64 games couldn't deliver. I respect that a lot people had fun nevertheless and luckily for me Nintendo's own games(except Rare's) always had a smooth frame rate:)
I really tried to love Diddy kong racing but like many n64 games and most Rare games the frame rate was only around 16fps. I am sensitive in that area. I felt it was unplayable. Mario kart was much smoother and I loved it together with Wave Race, F-Zero and 1080 Snowboarding. True classics indeed.
I'm not crazy ! (i'd report you Cristopher, if I could!). I have an IOS. I bought this on Wiiu and it's really fun, and I love the combination of buttons and stylus to create on the gamepad and watching the whole thing on my big screen when testing the coaster . This is clearly more a hit than a miss. 8/10
I really love Steel Diver. An underrated gem. With a lot replay value.Some say it is to short . I have actually invested over 15 hours. Fantastic missions in supreme 3d with great stylus control. Periscope Strike,this tasty first person shooter where you rotate with the 3ds launching missiles at ships and the tactical turn based strategy game which I played a lot with my friends, simply brilliant. A lot people have sadly missed this awesome game. I'm happily looking forward to Steel Diver: Sub Wars.
I only discovered lag in 2 of 80 matches. It's so much fun online . Just like Mario Kart online, it's hard to put down again. 9/10
@Macarony64 What a ignorant comment.The 3ds is very much capable of running this game, which is actually a rather simple 2d sidescroller. Maybe the tough competition from the big N on the 3ds is the reason.
I'm shocked ! and actually quite offended. This is maybe the best shooter ever. The reason why I bought a N64. It's a game I still play once in a while. A beautiful game with a smooth frame rate, unlike games like Turok 2, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark which was fine but sadly suffered from a bad frame rate, around 16 fps, sometimes dropping to 8 fps and below, which led to some frustating gameplay. Turok is a true classic, plays like a dream, more fun than most shooters today and still deserves a big 10.
Capcom is so lazy. Make a bloody new 3ds or WiiU game and we can talk business. I'm tired of all these old megaman games.
It's one of the best 3ds games, really fun and challenging with great graphics and stunning 3d effect, sadly no one really bought it..
It would be nice if the Wii U console was scratch proof, but lots of fine scratches will appear when you just dust of the maschine .Put it up in the light and it will show. You can even make scratches by sliding your finger across it. I can now understand why Iwata used gloves to unwrap the Wii U. Maybe it's only my black one, but I doubt. I will keep mine in the dark. Luckily no scratch issues on Gamepad.
@WesCash, Sure, we could argue all day about it . F-zero is a great game and I want that to, but FAST just has some really nice different features like the black white thing, which allways keeps you on the toes , the spins in the air, good looking visuals and the delisious 60fps. making everything super smooth and the unbeatable motion steering, it just did it for me . Nevertheless, Miyamota doesn't s want a new F-zero or sadly a new 1080 or Wave race, and I think bad sales is the real answer. They all sold a lot less than expected on Gamecube compared to the N64 where they were big hits. Maybe a new Excitebike?
They never change anything in FIFA , but people buy it anyway , they like to be fooled year after year after year. EA is cashing in and are laughing their asses off.
@Manfred Super , I'm really looking forward to this one. You always make quality games which is fun to play and I deeply respect your decision and hard work, to make your games run with 60 fps. without sacrificing the visuals. A super smooth frame rate makes a game a lot more enjoyable, sadly a lot of games these days struggles with a choppy 20-30 fps... I'm a big fan of FAST, but I read FAST 2 will not make it to 3ds because you weren't able to make it run in 60 fps. , any chance it could appear on Wiiu?
Epic is a virus
Wow, this is great news and it's actually very cheap for such an amazing music workstation. It's much better than Rytmik.
The 3ds demo version has a bad framerate. Is the full game in
better condition?
Yeah, It's a fun and challenging game , with great visuals. A must buy for all us rhythm games lovers and yes much better than those Runner games.
@Zach777 Why should that be a problem? Timesplitters 2 was one of the most successive games on Gamecube. It never never saw the first. So I don't really get your point. Just because Bayonetta originally not started out on a Nintendo console doesn't mean we can't enjoy this sequel, or Mass effect 3, Black ops. 2, Trine 2 etc.
Next time : Wii 3
Luigi's Mansion download for me. Tired of putting cartridges in and out of my 3ds...and trying to find them:)
It's plain stupid. Developers & publishers must open their eyes and realise that Nintendo players loves to play with Wiimote & Nunchuck and not Pro controller.
It's a great little game but frustating that the terrible techno music can't be switched off
It looks pretty boring..
Wiimote support please , Wiimote support please , Wiimote support please. Give us Wiimote fans what we want and we will buy your game. It is that simply..
Pro controller sucks. Nunchuck+Wiimote is the ultimate way to control a game. The Nunchuck which fits perfect in the hand. The Wiimote's smart pointer function and genius motion sensor. The relaxing way you hold them to the sides, making longer play sessions a breeze. In contrast traditional controllers like Pro controller feels like you're being 'handcuffed' making you feel very uncomfortable.
I will never again return to regular controllers. Developers , Nintendo included , need to realise that milions of people prefer the nunchuck + wiimote combination. Just think how wonderful games like Mario Galaxy and Metroid the trilogy worked. Wow ,It really changed the way we used to play games and now it seems every developer just ignoring this superb, relaxing way of playing. It really makes me sad. Give us what we want and need. Nunchuck+Wiimote option in every game and I think WiiU will have a brighter future with a lot more buyers. Me included..
Just played Journey on a friends ps3. The most boring game I've played the last 30 years . Really,nothing happened. I almost fell asleep. Clearly the most overrated game ever.
That means no money for you Capcom. I will NOT buy your game. How can you just ignore the ultimate best way to control a game. This is Scandalous !!. Millions of people use and love playing with nunchuck and wiimote. Just look around these pages and you find a lot people saying it's their favorite contol option. When you first master the relaxing nature of nunchuck and wiimote and their posibilities you really can't go back to the pro controller. Developers need to listen to people and give them what they want and need. Game pad is fine but every control options has to be delivered. It really can't be that hard.
I don't care about boring Pro Controller support, but fine for those who can't play without . Hopefully there will be Nunchuck + Wiimote support, the best, relaxing, realistic and funny way to control a game. Game publishers should realise that many customers won't buy again a game if the right control for them isn't supported..
It is also listed on the danish site cdon.dk in both black and white. The pricing is 1699 danish kr./ 185£ / 300$. I have seen it here the last 2-3 months.
Shin'en please make Fast - Racing League 2 on WiiU . Fast - Racing League was for me the best game on Wiiware and actually way better than Nintendo's own F-Zero.
Maybe they should make a new Mega man game, instead of releasing the old ones again and again?
Hopefully there is a wiimote pointer option . That is really the best way to control this thing. Are you listening Nintendo?
Actually tried it on android, but found it unplayable thanks to the frustating touch analog stick. Felt a relief by playing the 3ds version with the circle pad, so yes it controls around 100 times better in comparison, but that's really no surprise. This is a fun little top down blaster, with pretty visuals. Sadly you can't take the aim assistant off, meaning you feel the computer are doing half the job . The 4 shoot buttons I feel is a little unnecessary, why not just have 1 and shoot in the direction the character is facing, like in the good old joystick days? Hopefully a little game patch soon will correct these obviously mistakes or am I dreaming?
Very bad news. No wiimote nunchuck control? Really? This is a disaster. Totally insanity. The game is build for this control. not buying this game. Never ever.
If it doesn't support wiimote and nunchuck,which the game is built for I won't buy. Actually I will not buy any wiiu game not supporting this control, because i think it is the most exiting fun, intuitive, precise and relaxing way to play games.
Seriously ? why no white deluxe set. I hate black. Bad mistake Nintendo..
@NINTENDOFACE Yeah, this will sell like hot cakes. It looks gorgeous and I'm sure it will play like a dream. Really looking forward to this one. It has been 8 long years since Pikmin 2...
Hopefully this also include Wiiware games. When my Wii got some minor damage a year ago, I bought a shiny new Wii, but with no Wii transfer tool availabe,my 30 Wiiware games are forever stuck on the old Wii, and I sadly had to buy a lot of them again for my new Wii. I will not accept buying these games for the third time...
Nice, but of course they will support Wii U big time. The Just Dance series sold 28 million copies on Wii, so Ubisoft can afford to take some risks on Wii U, which others maybe wont because of lesser success on the Wii.
Why is other eu countries than these always excluded. Just like their Club Nintendo. I feel discriminated for not living the right place..
This is actually a pretty fun game. The motion control is very responsive and intuitive, but perhaps maybe some alternative boring analog controls would have been ok to include. The free roaming world is great and a joy to explore, and the activities is generally a blast and the characters is so cute to watch and beatifully animated, just like Namco's earlier Family Ski. Surely a lot of work has gone into this game. This game clearly deserves a better score, so I will give it a solid 8.
Finally got the game and I have played this racer nonstop for 3 hours and I must say this is FUN. Yes the tilt controls is a bit loose but that is an important aspect of the game allowing you to drift your car fast and smooth around the many sharp bends which is SO enjoyable when you get used to it . Just stick with it and you will love it, but if you are put off in the start of the challenge from the rather tough cpu drivers on normal mode, don't hesitate to change to easy in the settings and you will soon be overtaking them and it's a great way to really learn and master the whole thing before selecting the higher difficult.. The retro dot graphics are beautiful and very charming and I actually noticed the trees swaying. The different weather conditions and night riding is great, cleverly disguising the only 5 existing tracks. I like the way you can bump into other cars jostling for position, it looks fantastic with good physics all around and the pit stop is a nice touch, putting some strategy in to the game when to visit the pit or not, as you car is getting damaged and you perhaps are in the lead. Racing is fast and fun but don't cheat by driving through, instead of around the bends or you will instantly be sent back on the course to do it properly, this also happen if you drive to much out of tracks which certainly makes for a fast paced game, but I like games forcing yourself to get back on track, and watching you driving offcouse in replays is allways hilarious, so maybe a selectable mode in 3d pixel racing 2?, together with a course designer and online races.. Finally I really can't understand Corbs' low score review. This is a game which is just as fun as say Mario Kart and I highly recommend it, and for only 500 points it's a must buy and even if the cost were 2000 point I would still rate this game 9/10.

FINISHING TOUCHES: VFL program wraps up Habitat project
The foundation was down.
The siding was up.
The paint was on the Habitat for Humanity house as well.
But if the Tennessee senior class thought its job would be the easiest assignment of the four-week Vol for Life summer project after all that work had been done, it quickly found out it was wrong on Saturday morning in South Knoxville.
"You know, I'm thinking it gets easier, but actually the painting last week, we got done pretty early," VFL coordinator Andre Lott said. "This took a little bit of time because everything has to be measured right, a certain kind of nail gun, the cabinets -- hard time putting those up.
"They thought they were going to have an easy time of it today, like I did."
Nothing has been easy for UT's seniors throughout their careers, so the precise measurements and hard work with the cabinets as the finishing touches were applied by the Vols to the house didn't represent anything new.
Collectively, the veterans didn't seem bothered at all by the final tasks in the month-long effort for the Vols -- just as those that have stuck around seemingly haven't been put off by adjusting to multiple coaches or buying into the VFL program in the first place.
"I think with the experience they have and with what they've been through, I think they have bought in because I think they understand what we're trying to do," Lott said. "I haven't had any kind of problems with the seniors, and I think that's great.
"(Wrapping up) feels good, man. Actually starting with the freshmen with the slab, obviously a lot of hard work, but then there was more technical stuff dealing with the trim and putting in the cabinets. You'd think it would get easier, but it really doesn't. The guys had fun with it."
Now all that's left is to return back one more time at some point next month to officially dedicate it to the residents -- and by then it will almost be time to get back to rebuilding UT on the field.

Ottumwa Courier
It wasn't that long ago when Dimitri Boyer not only stood among the best wrestlers in the state, he stood above them.
In the three years that have passed since finishing his prep career at Eddyville-Blakesburg, now Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, with consecutive state championships, Boyer has learned just how tough it is to stand out among the best in NCAA Division III. As he proved last Friday in Cedar Rapids, Boyer is getting very close to returning to that elite level.
The former Rocket prep kingpin faced not one, but three ranked wrestlers in his first national championship apperance for Coe College. After beating seventh-seeded John Carroll grappler Terner Gott in his first national match, 2-1, Boyer fought hard but dropped two straight decisions during the Friday night second session of the NCAA DIII National Wrestling Championships.
Centenary's second-ranked Chris Burdge, the eventual third-place finisher at 157 pounds, ended Boyer's hopes of a national title this year with a 6-0 decision in the national quarterfinals. Sixth-ranked Reece Lefever of Wabash then kept Boyer from clinching All-American status by earning a 9-4 win in the third round of wrestlebacks.
"It was a tough road, but you have to win those big matches," Boyer said. "I just couldn't quite pull all of them out, but I'm happy that I wrestled as hard as I could and I still have next year to come back."
Boyer received no favors from the NCAA, drawing the seventh-seeded Gott after finishing third at the Central regional tournament. But when his name was called for his first ever national tournament match, Boyer took a very confident approach with him out to Mat 3.
"He was supposed to be the seventh-best wrestler in the country at 157," Boyer said. "I knew I had to be ready for a test."
Boyer met the test head on, battling Gott to a stalemate in the opening three minutes. After being down to start the second period, Boyer made an important escape in just 24 seconds to grab an early lead while keeping Gott from storing up riding time.
With just 24 seconds to make up, Boyer caught and passed Gott by riding the seventh-ranked grappler for almost the entire third period. The former two-time state champ gave himself plenty of riding time for an extra point to be scored, making Gott's late escape meaningless in a 2-1 win.
Match two got no easier with second-ranked Chris Burdge awaiting Friday night in the national quarterfinals on Boyer. Once again, Boyer held his own in the opening three minutes, battling through a scoreless first period again before being taken down.
Unlike earlier in the day, however, Boyer couldn't find an answer as Burdge scored a third-period escape, takedown and earned enough riding time to move into the national semifinals.
"There were a couple of things I wished I could have changed (in that match)," Boyer said. "I look at this as a competitor. Everyone's 0-0 coming into the national tournament. Everyone's here to win the national title."
Boyer came closer then the final score appeared in his do-or-die match with Lefever with All-American hopes on the line. A pair of takedowns helped give Lefever a 6-3 lead late in the match before Boyer escaped with 26 seconds left, giving the former Rocket one last chance to score one takedorn of his own for the honor.
Lefever instead caught Boyer coming in and rode out a 9-4 victory. The loss brought Boyer's successful junior season to an end at 25-9.
"He's worked really hard to be able to get to this level. It's tough to make the transition from high school to college wrestling," Coe head coach John Oostendorp said of Boyer "I'm proud of him for sticking with it. It meant a lot to him to come that close to being an All-American. I'm sure it's going to motivate him to be back here next year."
"I'll be back. I have no doubt about that," Boyer added. "I just have to use this to fuel to get back here next year."
Iowa Colleges shine at NCAA Division III National Wrestling
Boyer was hardly the only wrestler to draw the thousands of fans that attended both days of the NCAA Division III Wrestling Tournament. The Coe College junior was one of 27 representatives to compete against the best in the country from the Iowa Conference.
Boyer's junior teammate Jimmy Gotto was the only other Kohawk to win a national tournament match. In fact, the 125-pounder made a surprising run all the way to the championship match, giving the hometown fans at the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena plenty to cheer for leading into the first title match on Saturday night before falling to top-ranked Ithica senior Ricardo Gomez 4-2.
All told, eight different Iowa Conference wrestlers earned All-American status in NCAA Division III by placing in the top eight in their respective weight classes. Leading the way was Wartburg, who lived up to their number one ranking by sending head coach Jim Miller off into retirement with a third straight national championship and 10th overall.
The Knights rolled away from Wisconsin-Whitewater in the team standings with 103 points to second-place Elmhurt's 82. Top-ranked Kenneth Anderson capped a perfect season by winning the only individual state title for the northern Iowa school with a 9-1 major decision over Wisconsin-Whitewater's seventh-ranked Grant Sutter in the 133-pound final.
Even more fans are hoped to be back in Cedar Rapids for next year's NCAA Division III Wrestling national meet, which will be Mar. 14-15 in 2014 at the newly renovated Convention Center.
State pride to be showcased at NCAA Division I Nationals this weekend
A four-week stretch that has made Iowa the capital state for the sport of wrestling will conclude this weekend with the biggest event on the college level for the sport. The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships get under way today at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, the home for the epic Iowa High School State Wrestling Meet.
Large crowds are expected to make their way through the turnstiles throughout the three days of competition, many of whom will be rooting for the home schools with Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa sending 19 different wrestlers to compete. Of those wrestlers, nine were born in the Hawkeye State and have some experience wrestling in big matches in Des Moines.
There are also five wrestlers from Iowa communities that will be making their homestate returns this week. Two redshirt seniors from Nebraska, Ridge Kiley and Josh Ihnen, along with Stanford redshirt junior Bret Baumbach, Northern Illinois redshirt junior Matt Mougin and Oklahoma State redshirt sophomore Julian Feikert were all born in the Hawkeye State.
Ihnen has the best record of those five Iowa-born wrestlers representing schools from outside the state at nationals. Looking to join in the footsteps of the legendary brothers Terry and current Iowa head coach Tom Brands, the 24-6 Nebraska Cornhusker Ihnen will be looking to become the most recent Sheldon Orab to win an NCAA wrestling title as he competes at 184 pounds.
Ihnen's Cornhusker teammate Kiley will also be looking for a national title at 141 in his final collegiate season. The Eagle Grove native is 14-11 on the year.
Closer to southern Iowa, Keokuk-born Feikert brings a 21-17 record into the NCAA meet in his redshirt sophomore season for national team title hopeful Oklahoma State. Former Columbus Junction standout Matt Mougin also will look to represent southern Iowa proudly this week as the Northern Illinois redshirt junior sports a 22-15 record at 174 pounds.
The long road trip from Council Bluffs to Des Moines will seem much shorter for Bret Baumbach, who returns to Iowa to compete at 165 pounds after moving much further west for his college career. The redshirt junior represents Stanford this week at Wells Fargo Arena, entering the national tournament with a 22-10 record.
The three-day, six-session NCAA Division I Wrestling championships get underway with first-round matches starting at 11 a.m. The finals begin Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. and, new this year, will begin with the 174-pound title match.

(NECN/AP) - Republican Gabriel Gomez and Democrat Edward Markey clashed on everything from their records in Congress and the private sector to job creation in their final debate of Massachusetts' special U.S. Senate election.
Gomez defended his time as a Navy SEAL and his work in the private equity firm Advent International, saying President Barack Obama's pension fund as a former Illinois lawmaker is invested in the company.
Markey said Gomez should release information about other clients and defended his role in obtaining millions in tax dollars for the transformation of a polluted industrial site along the Malden River.
The hoped-for jobs never materialized, but Markey said the project was still a benefit to neighboring communities.
The final topic addressed by the pair of candidates was drone strikes.
"I think overseas, the President's got to have more discretion. I think that if somebody switches sides, they're absolutely targets for drones. And I think the President has done a good job of targeting people oversees."
Gomez went on to say he would be very hesitant to use drones domestically against U.S. citizens.
Markey cautiously supports the method overseas.
"We have to make sure that our national interest is at stake, that we have no other way of apprehending the individual except killing them with a drone strike."
The Congressman believes that drones in the U.S. need to be kept from infringing on privacy.
The hour-long debate Tuesday night at WGBH-TV was sponsored by a Boston media consortium.
The election is June 25.

Special to The Sun
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers announced that it had raised well more than $30,000 recently for the Kraddick Foundation, from its nationwide fundraising efforts in support of the Kidd's Kids program. Cane's donation pushes the total amount raised for the charity well above any amount collected in one day in its 21-year history.
The exact total, which includes donations made by Cane's customers along with 15 percent of the net proceeds from participating restaurants nationwide, will be revealed this week at a special check presentation in Dallas.
This year, Raising Cane's was designated as the national collection point for donations to Kidd's Kids, the charitable initiative founded by nationally syndicated radio and television personality Kidd Kraddick.
Kidd's Kids, a program of the Kraddick Foundation, was established in 1991 with the hope of making a difference in the lives of terminally and chronically ill children. Each year, Kidd's Kids offers five days of suspended reality to children whose lives have been ravaged by disease, with an all-expenses paid vacation to Disney World for the children and their immediate family.

Guitar Hero gives you all the excitement and thrill of being a rock star without leaving your home! Published by RedOctane, Guitar Hero from the makers of Karaoke Revolution uses a plastic guitar peripheral so that gamers can show their skills at crunching power chords and nailing a tough solo. The guitar features five buttons on the fretboard and a strummer button that can be tapped up or down where the strings would be strummed. Choose from multiple rock characters and jam at concert venues that grow in size as your rock career progresses. You'll start your rock career playing small clubs and bars, but if you play well you'll work your way up to stadiums and arenas. The song list in Guitar Hero boasts tracks every rock fan has in their CD or record collection. Over 30 incredible rock anthems fill every stage of the game. Jam to songs like Iron Man, Ziggy Stardust, Thunderkiss 65, More Than a Feeling, Take Me Out, and I Wanna Be Sedated!

Diabetic Nephropathy
The first sign of kidney damage is protein in the urine, which a doctor can measure in microscopic amounts, called microalbuminuria. Small amounts of albumin show up in the urine 5 to 10 years before major kidney damage happens.
If you have diabetes, your doctor will suggest regular monitoring of urine and blood tests to check the health of your kidneys.
Occasionally, a doctor may be concerned that kidney injury in a diabetic person is related to a separate problem. In that case, other tests such as ultrasound or a kidney biopsy may be recommended. In a biopsy, a small piece of kidney tissue is removed through a needle and examined in a laboratory.

LA VERGNE, Tenn. - A big rig fire on the interstate led to a wild scene, including a foot chase and a fist fight between two drivers who weren't even involved.
The tanker truck caught fire due to a fuel leak around 1 a.m. Monday on Interstate 24 east near the Waldron Road exit in La Vergne.
The driver tried to make it to a nearby truck stop, but was unsuccessful. He was not injured.
The fire was put out quickly, but when traffic slowed dow, one driver rear-ended one another vehicle.
He decided to ditch the car and run off, but the driver he rear-ended ran him down and started beating him up.
No word on why the driver ran off, or if the men will face any charges.

New Castle News
Charges against Justin Anthony Barry, who was accused in a robbery, have been withdrawn.
New Castle police had arrested Barry, 25, of Apt. F, 1214 Highland Ave., earlier this month and charged him with robbery, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, theft and receiving stolen property.
According to information from the Lawrence County District Attorney's office, all charges were withdrawn because the alleged victim did not show up to testify at Barry's preliminary hearing last week.

Silverado rear end carrier disasembly help
Hey guys,
Trying to disasemble a GT4 carrier on my 2001 silverado in order to replace the syder gears(one is toast, but other gears including ring and pinion look good/no wear). Trying to remove the thrust block after removing the lock bolt and center pin. It appears that on the other side of the carrier there are a set of spring loaded clamps/dogs that won't let me rotate the block inside the carrier in order to remove it. Any body tackled this before with good results?
GT4 refers to the gear ratio 3.73. Do you have a G80 code (for the Eaton gov-lock carrier) or is it a conventional open carrier? I haven't disassembled them myself, but I know the procedure is different between the two carriers. It would also make some difference if it's a full floater (2500 and up) or a semi-floater (1500s), because of the C-clips on the end of the axleshaft on the semifloater.'98 K1500 Suburban LS 5.7 L 4L60E NV246 ARB

Its a G80 and I figured it out today. The thrust block has access holes on each side that IF properly aligned allow you to push the axles in toward the carrier and let you pull out the axle c-clips. Was too intent on moving the thrust block around inside the carrier that I missaligned the axle c-clip holes and couldn't push the axles in to access the c-clips. Last time I was into a Rearend eas a 92 S10 and didn't have this thrust block, sio when the pin came out there was nothing in the way of the axle c-clips. The rest of it came apart pretty easy. Looks like I can get away with replacing only the pass side axle drive gear and 2 of the spyder gear washers. Am also gonna replace the axle seals so I don't find myself reliving this job in the near future for axle seals leaking. Thanks for your reply Mrshorty

I write about money and markets.
High-frequency trading is presenting all sorts of challenges these days, what with quote stuffing and other news. But at least one challenge it presents could be tackled pretty easily – defining "high-frequency trading."
Last week Hirander Misra, chief of the tech firm Algo Technologies, said at a derivatives conference in Switzerland that the industry needs to define the phrase for the regulators, press, and public. It's not just day traders gleefully rubbing their hands together in front of super-fast computers, apparently, as they lob quote bombs at the New York Stock Exchange, CME Group and other trading venues.
To his point, if people want to write rules for this, they need a definition. So I asked some industry folks for short and sweet descriptions of high-frequency trading, in Twitter-style 140 characters or less. (The character limit was a suggestion, not a rule.) How did they do?
1. James Overdahl, spokesman for Principal Traders Group (the ones formerly known as high-frequency traders)
"The use of information technology to quickly receive and analyze market data in order to identify and act upon profitable trading opportunities. Trading strategies include 1) market making; and 2) arbitrage across related products."
Result: Fail! 93 characters over.
My tweetable definition: High frequency trading is the use of modern computing speed as a competitive advantage in the trading of stocks and other securities
Golden Networking (http://goldennetworking.net) is organizing the High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 (http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com), "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies," on December 9th and 10th in New York City. It has been recommended for executives in finance and investments who work at Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, Broker Dealers, Consultancy Groups, Prime Brokers, Solution Providers and Exchanges and wish to gain a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of high-frequency trading.
For more information about this style of trading, you might be interested in attending later this May High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2011, "How Speed Traders Leverage Cutting-Edge Strategies in the Post-Flash Crash World", where a who's who of the industry will be speaking: Adam Afshar, Hyde Park Global Investments; Alexey Goz, Algo Engineering; Andrew Kumiega, IIT Institute of Technology; Christopher Willox, Fenimore Asset Management; Edgar Perez, The Speed Traders; James Leman, Westwater Corp.; Jitesh Thakkar, Edge Financial Technologies; John Netto, M3 Capital; Jonathan Kinlay, Systematic Strategies; Mike Bellafiore, SMB Capital; Milind Sharma, QuantZ Capital Management; Professor Petter Kolm, New York University; Will Mechem, Pan Alpha Trading; and William Kenney, Knox Capital; among others. More info at: http://www.hftleadersforum.com
It's a shame this reporter's smarmy asides detract from her informant's sincere effort to put into words a useful working definition of HFT.
Why would any reporter step-on her own story?
This post fails to be funny and fails to illuminate what is worth shedding light upon.
What the future holds for hedge funds, HFT and derivatives trading in this age of increased regulatory scrutiny? Discuss it with key players at Tech2Trade Expo 2013, to be kicked off in New York City, London, Chicago, Frankfurt and Singapore: http://www.tech2tradeexpo.com

Work 'n' Progress
Work 'n' Progress: Lessons and Stories in Southern Labor History is an online labor history curriculum program designed for middle and high school students. Teachers today have few curriculum materials available to teach about work and labor. Georgia State University Library's Special Collections Department, in collaboration with the College of Education's Middle/Secondary Instruction and Technology program, has created this on-line curriculum that offers educators the knowledge and materials to prepare students for the workplace, and teach labor history in the classroom.
Funded by the Joseph Jacobs Labor Fund, and supported by the resources of Georgia State University Library's Special Collections Department, Work 'n' Progress is specifically designed for 8th grade and 11th grade-level social studies instruction. However, teachers and researchers of all grades and all subjects can benefit from the digital historical resources and activities available through the Website.
Georgia State University Library's Southern Labor Archives, established in 1971, is dedicated to collecting, preserving and making available the documentary heritage of Southern workers and their unions, as well as that of workers and unions having an historic relationship to the region.
The largest accumulation of labor records in the Southeast, the Archives holdings include organizational records, pamphlets, periodicals, photographs, personal papers of labor leaders, oral histories, collective bargaining agreements, constitutions and bylaws, and convention proceedings from 1888 to the present. The Southern Labor Archives is the official repository for hundreds of local and regional union offices, as well as the national offices of:
- International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW)
- National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE)
- United Garment Workers of America (UGWA)
- United Furniture Workers of America (UFWA)
- Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO)
- United Textile Workers of America (UTWA)
as well as many other union offices and state federations of labor, including the Georgia State AFL-CIO.
Our holdings are particularly strong in the areas of the textile and clothing industry, furniture and wood products, machinery and aerospace, nursing, airline industry, communications industry and the history of union activities in the Southeast

Thinking of going here this week. Anyone have any specific menu items (from apps to dessert) they'd recommend? No foie gras or escargots. Website shows a limited time only "Maine lobster festival menu"; any thoughts? Thanks!
Cavaillon Restaurant
14701 Via Bettona, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92127
You could go for the 5-course tasting menu which is very good priced with $55 (+$25 for wine pairing) which will gve you a good overview of the Cavaillon dishes. The tasting menu has normally foie gras but you can talk with them and they will serve you something else. If you go ala carte, the risotto is very good, they often have some very good braised dishes.

mushroom ravioli; I'm hooked on it
re: ibstatguy
Thanks for the suggestions. Finally went last night, but passed on the tasting menu since I didn't have the time or energy for 5 courses on a Tues night. Looked like a great deal though.
Husband went with the warm and cold veggie salad with warm goat cheese, the pork cheeks with apracot polenta, vanilla bean cream bruele and loved all.
I had the wild mushroom ravioli, diver scallops and chocolate pastilla with coconut sorbet. Scallops were just OK, cooked to perfection, but overpowered by the fennel in the dish. But the wild mushroom ravioli....so delicious. Ibstatgy I'm with you, hooked. Next time I'm doubling that for an entree.
The website shows a special lobster menu and I assumed if it was on the website it was current, but alas no lobster. Maybe it coincides with locat lobster season?
Also had very good service.
re: Island
re: eatemup
Tried them at both places and the ones at Luc's are not even close in terms of quality to the ones at Cavaillon. The chef at Luc's is not the chef from Cavaillon. Philippe Verpiand is officially the executive chef of Luc's but has not much to do with the day to day business and unfortunately you can see it in the execution.
re: honkman
re: eatemup
Thanks eatemup. I'll give them a whirl even if they are different. We just discovered Luc's with an Entertainment book coupon and enjoyed it so much we were back within the week. Not sure if it was really good or if we were just starved for something new (to us anyway) in the area. Loved the onion soup, brasied chicken thighs, and husband enjoyed a seafood crepe special and roasted tomato soup. Had good service both times. Quite a nice surprise in a nondescript strip mall. Great price too. I didn't know there was a connection to Cavaillon!

Shelby Votes Will Be Counted, Even Though Cast in Wrong Place Will Still Count
The chairman of the Shelby County Election Commission conceded Tuesday that nearly 1,000 voters received the wrong ballots during early voting for state and federal primary races in the Aug. 2 elections, according to the Commercial Appeal.
But voters who received the wrong ballots won't get to vote again with the right ballots, said commission chairman Robert Meyers.
Meyers, a Republican, publicly thanked the Democratic nominee for a Shelby County Commission seat, Steve Ross, for identifying the glitch that caused the problem.
Saying that the information Ross released on his popular progressive blog Monday was "a correct report," Meyers at a late afternoon news conference Tuesday tried to assure voters that proper "corrective action" had been taken. The mistakes appear to be related to a late rush by the Election Commission to update voter files based on redistricting in state and federal races.
The votes that were cast for the wrong race will still count, and those voters will not get a chance to cast ballots in the correct race, Meyers said, citing the one-man, one-vote principle. The wrong ballots appear to be dispersed across several races, with the vast majority in state House contests.
