The menu at LuLu's BBQ abounds with tender, slow-smoked morsels of beef, chicken, and tofu slathered in zesty barbecue sauce. Wood framework and Texas stars decorate the steakhouse's interior, where dinner rolls buckle under the tasty weight of sliced beef brisket and meat tumbles off the bone of half or full racks of ribs. Paired with the protein-filled main menu are 11 sides, including sweet-potato tots, green-bean casserole, and fried okra, along with desserts such as LuLu's special Sweet Cow ice cream, which comes directly from Hawaii's sugar-cow farms.
Smokin Joes BBQ heaps plates of beef brisket, St. Louis-style ribs, pulled pork and other menu items slathered in sauce that's at once sweet, tangy, tart, and spicy. Other sauces include the spicy barbecue, sweet and tangy mustard sauce, and the Carolina sauce, which blends vinegar, brown sugar, and a hint of cayenne pepper ideal for whole-hog cooking. Signature milkshakes cool off the tongue with inventively sweet flavors, such as the birthday cake shake with Funfetti cake mix, milk, and vanilla ice cream. Smokin Joes can also cater for events such as company picnics, class reunions, and weddings, especially weddings where they toast with barbecue sauce instead of champagne.
The OiNKs! menu modernizes classic barbecue with five original sauce recipes, produce from sustainable farms, and meat that's always antibiotic free and usually from free-range livestock. Before being pulled apart by your mouth's masticators, each meat slab is rubbed in OiNKs! special rub and slow-smoked over pecan wood. Palatable proteins, including brisket, chicken, pork, and tofu ($3.99 1/4 lb., $6.49 1/2 lb., $12.49 full lb.), relax in a barbecue bubble bath of your choice: sweet traditional, tangy mustard, peppery vinegar, hot three-pepper blend, or a brand-new Kansas City-style sauce. Or opt for a St. Louis–style rack of spare ribs ($5.49 1/4 rack, $10.49 1/2 rack, $19.99 full rack). Specialty sandwiches, such as the Blue Brisket with bacon and blue cheese ($8.49), fill up hungry hands and are served with your choice of side, including hearty fried okra or the lighter nutty coleslaw or spicy green-bean salad. Soul-soothing desserts, such as a cinnamon-pecan tartlet ($2.49), are baked each morning.

Usability Checklist
Hello Everyone,
For a long time I am searching about checklist prototype to ensure most usable website for its users: Is there any regulatory body like w3(dot)org is available in terms of design?
I have some very basic and advance concerns listed below, Please read completely before giving your reply, I am giving emphasis on business/corporate websites-
1. What is best place to put navigation if you are offering some services?
2. Home page should have what elements(like portfolio, services, case studies, Contact Us, Approach etc);
3. Should we use contact us form at home page? if yes at which area at left hand side or at RHS.
4. If we are using slider, should we limit number of image, if yes then upto how much?
5. Should sliders be used at inner pages too?
6. I see many websites have logo at top middle........ is it good?
7. How much content should be present at home page to get good visibility, how should they distributed.
8. I believe users generally scan a web page so how to make it most noticeable.
9.Best place for call to action buttons
Some times it becomes very confusing what section should go where, give me suggestions so that I can ensure both creativity and prescribed standards if any.

During HOT ROD Power Tour 2004, HOT ROD's then-publisher Ira Gabriel (now of Motor Trend) had a grand scheme to shoot a photo of every single first-gen Camaro that was participating in our big road trip event, then use that image for a poster in the magazine. Printing and binding posters has significant cost for a mag the size of HRM, so we needed a sponsor, and one never materialized. The poster idea vaporized, and the photo was never published. The Power Tour participants who helped us out with that shoot at the St. Louis Speedway - still - ask us about why the photo was never used. Truth: once the poster plan went away, we lost the disc.
Well, we found it while we were moving our offices in late 2009, and so at long last, here's that epic photo. We count 48 cars here: 12 '67s, 14 '68s, and 22 '69s.

Why is it the mega rich and mega large corporations believe it's OK for them to pay zero taxes? When they want more, the politicians appease them.
Yet when the working people need a real tax break or need the Medicare and Social Security that we've paid into through our checks, we have an entitlement attitude?
Why is it that moving our jobs overseas is not as important for providing work for Americans? This just breeds dependency on government assistance. I'm thinking working and independence goes against their control issues.
I guess we do have an entitlement attitude. Americans should be entitled to real jobs. Real working and living wages. Entitled to what we've paid into rather than begging for food stamps. Entitled to come first before illegal aliens and big business. Entitled to have politicians that work for the betterment of our country and not their bank accounts.
Do I have a entitlement attitude? Yes, and proud of it.

Weekend tech reading: Deciphering AMD's new GPU roadmap
Fate of AMD's Sea Islands obscured in the fog Reports surfaced last weekend that AMD's graphics roadmap for 2013 would keep the Radeon HD 7000 series "stable" throughout the year. The news came out in an unusual way, via an interview with a Japanese website and then several tweets from AMD employees and the official Radeon Twitter feed. Naturally, we had questions about the state of things, so AMD held a conference call for the press today, in an attempt to clarify matters. Prior to last weekend, we expected AMD to be introducing a new generation of graphics cards within the next few months. The Tech Report
The true cost of a Raspberry Pi is more than you think As the Raspberry Pi craze sweeps the internet, you might have found yourself wanting to purchase the little computer to see what projects you can use it for. You may have thought to yourself that even if you can't think of a nifty project, who cares, because the higher-end Model B is only $35. However, is it really that cheap when all is said and done? I recently ordered my first Raspberry Pi. I could never figure out what to do with it, but have wanted one simply because it's a cheap, intriguing little computer. ExtremeTech
Locking the bad guys out with asymmetric encryption Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and the protection of confidential information. Encryption algorithms are the mathematical formulae for performing these transformations. You provide an encryption algorithm with a key and the data you want to protect (the plaintext), and it produces an encrypted output (the ciphertext). Ars Technica
How Nest's control freaks reinvented the thermostat In 2007, Tony Fadell believed he could see the future. He was an Apple executive who had created the iPod and was a leading figure on the team that had worked on the iPhone, which the company was about to launch. He knew people would soon form attachments to the Internet-connected computers they carried in their pockets, and he kept thinking about that as he started another major project: building an energy-efficient dream home near Lake Tahoe.

Is frustration an essential part of game design? I've probably told you this story before, but a couple of weeks ago I almost destroyed my copy of DmC, Ninja Theory's reboot of the Devil May Cry series. I was stuck on a boss fight with a giant demonic baby, and although I understood what I was supposed to do, I couldn't do it. I just couldn't. I knew I had to avoid the infant's gigantic swipes, I knew I had to attack with aerial combos, I knew a weak spot would eventually open up. But I couldn't do it. So I took the disc out and threw it.

Microsoft warns of looming retirement for Windows 7 RTM Microsoft yesterday reminded customers that Windows 7's first edition, which shipped more than three years ago, will be dropped from support in early April. At that time, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will become the only officially supported version of the popular PC operating system. The retirement of Windows 7 RTM (for "release to manufacturing," Microsoft's label for its launch editions) will take place April 9, that month's date for Patch Tuesday. Computerworld
Status symbols: MiniDisc The MiniDisc represents Sony at the height of its 1990s arrogance. In 1992, when the MiniDisc was introduced, Sony could do no wrong in consumer electronics: the best TVs were Trinitrons, the Walkman was still booming and the Discman was a hit, and Sony's legendary hardware design was at the peak of its powers before software changed the world. It's no wonder the company thought it could launch a quirky new music format around the world through sheer will alone. The Verge
Facebook can stick with its real name policy for now, German court rules Facebook can stick with its real name policy in Germany, and doesn't have to allow nicknames on its platform for now.

Facebook was ordered to end its real name policy and permit the use of pseudonyms on its platform by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ULD) for Schleswig-Holstein last year. ITworld
Apple's podcast disaster Apple's podcast app is, without a doubt, the worst iOS app it's ever made. Others have been poorly received or largely ignored, but this is unprecedented: With nearly 6,000 ratings, the app has just 1.5 stars in the App Store. Reviews range from harsh to despairing: "Horrible in every way," reads the most recent. "Oh, and this app cost me $40 in overage uses on my data plan." Among the most damning reviews: "Worse than iOS Maps." BuzzFeed

Reinstall: Hitman: Blood Money This all started in Chiu Dai park, Hong Kong, twelve years ago. The first mission of the first Hitman game. You're given a target, a pistol and a disassembled sniper rifle in a briefcase. And something is odd. You're just a guy, in a street. No one's shooting at you. No one's hunting for you. The challenge isn't to survive, or to get to the exit, or to solve a puzzle. You can just explore, observe, and understand this space, then decide how to make one man dead. PC Gamer
Don't be a stranger The Internet of 2006 was not much different than it is today, mainly less: a bit slower, sparser, less open for business, like your hometown before the strip mall got put in.

I was taking some time off from college in Portland, Oregon and had become an active member of a Portland-based online DIY community called Urban Honking. The New Inquiry

Got something to say? Post a comment-
A+ for AMD's obfuscation.
So, HD 7000 remains the "focus"....
Look for the HD 7970 GHz Edition to be superseded by the HD 7970 with dynamic boost (HD 7980?) ! along with the rest of upper tier models. Sounds as though the HD8000's are going to limited to OEM rebrands, mobile, and big emphasis on lower end desktop that can use the same GPU as the mobile models.
The loss of market share in notebooks to Nvidia must have really stung.
Mini-rant about the Apple Podcast App:
I agree fully - this app makes me want to kill my work iPhone. It is a disgrace.
From work, I got the iPhone and I downloaded the podcast app with glee. I remember always hearing about how podcasts were essentially the lovechild of iPods and music and how iPods always did them best. Oh how wrong of me to think that. Here are just a few things wrong with it:
- It doesn't allow the use of double-tap-home-button music controls all the time. Maybe.. 60% of the time.
- It crashes. A lot.
- Doesn't download podcasts as designed. I've tried wifi, mobile network, plugged in, not..
- There is no progress bar. There is no timer. You have no idea how long is left on the podcast.
Not counting Maps, this is truly the most un-Apple experience I've had with the iPhone. Apple, son, I am disapoint.
The BIG question now is, will Nvidia also slow down and not release any new high end products until 20nm next year?
Or will they just take advantage of the gap in AMD's roadmap and launch the 880/870 so they can grab more market share?
My bet is on Nvidia taking the lazy route. But that's just a feeling, and I'd love some concrete info or even just informed guesses / hard rumors...
The BIG question now is, will Nvidia also slow down and not release any new high end products until 20nm next year?
I think Nvidia were already committed to a refresh of Kepler (GK114 etc.). If that is the case then the wafers are likely already being laid down
Or will they just take advantage of the gap in AMD's roadmap and launch the 880/870 so they can grab more market share?A big hint is the fact that the GTX Titan carries no model number. A GK114 series of parts would be GTX 780/770/760 Ti. Assuming no radical redesign of the basic die (and that is likely), then Nvidia have the opportunity to launch earlier to pre-empt any AMD revision- or more likely IMO- stockpile the GPUs until current inventory has been exhausted. If Nvidia have a need to increase market presence then they have the option of discounting the present series -which would be out of character for Nvidia, or just slotting in the new parts when and where they are needed.
My guess is that the newer parts would likely be diverted to mobile if AMD are looking to push back into that segment using the Solar System based parts.
Hitman series is decades one of a gem....if stupid revs says it's bad then they should go and play simple,easy,mainstream run-gunner as cod /bf3/crysis(only 4 graphics haha)...portal or hitman-they just don't have the mind to play
give l-gamer Martin a bell-"That's right Crytek. Make the game as shiny as possible,maybe then the people won't notice the shallow as **** game play and sub par story"
and also,bf3-slow run-gunner(better graphics),cod(fast run gunner) but both have shallow as **** gameplay (as gamers with fast hands but no minds,pull trigger and turbo enemies)..
even some devs agreed that mainstream fps brought marketing and money but destroyed intelligent games as a whole...hell even cod bo2 sells billion units and ign always gives it above 9...stupid as **** dollars and propaganda
true traditional gaming been destroyed by moronic,easy,and straightforward shooters for marketing and dollars...
I had a bad feeling this was going to happen. I'm afraid of Nvidia getting laxy and not releasing anything besides the Titan this year. I want another 680 or a 690 but the prices aren't going down without a new lineup.
In my new system here has the 7000 series not bad better than prior ones I've used 3200HD and up.

Why dont people work on roms for gb considering its the current version on the bionic gb roms should be easier to make. I personally find it stupid no devs work on gb anymore

Well... everybody is entitled to their own stupid opinion... but i don't see how this rude post will help anything... the dev comunity is always trying to move a device forward... they're the brainy guys trying to figure things out ... i don't think "easier" makes any difference to any of them when they all want to do is land a stable ICS ROM in the near future...

Well ics will hopefully come from Motorola. Im running miui, but the hardware acceleration not working is a big blow to gamers
Sent from my XT875 using DroidForums
But thats just it it took me a while of thinking roms over in my head and i realized everyones trying to skip steps. By creating a solid fully working gb rom it would do more good in helping developers push the device forward i beleive. Its like once the bionic came out everyone pushed the development of ics roms instantly not even a thought of gb really which is weird because most phone devs start with what the phone came with not what it MIGHT have in the future. Thats why i'm so confused by all the ics roms. Droid 1 dev started on stock 1.1 1.2 eclaire right? Then like half a year later or more people started deving for gb. It took TIME to change and stuff. We just insantly went ok first step ROOT second step DEBLOAT third step.....4th step ICS

"like once the bionic came out everyone pushed the development of ics roms instantly not even a thought of gb"
I think you missed some stuff... Eclipse... Liberty... Axiom... and a bunch of others... some with heavy ice cream themes but all GB based roms.... i felt like i waited forever for an ICS rom to break thru and be usable... and they still ain't got a solid one yet... but all the first ones to come out were ginger bread and they got alot of them working as true daily drivers... i don't see how you're saying they skipped a step when Eclipse is the number one installed bionic rom and it's ginger bread
My guess would be due to the locked bootloader, they've squeezed just about everything they can out of Gingerbread, and ICS development is simply more fun. The lack of being able to develop custom kernels for the Bionic is a major bummer, as the kernel is way more fun to play with.
Plus, the devs who work on these things are hobbyists. ICS is more challenging, trying to solve the data issues and everything; plus they are actively working on getting HW acceleration working. There is simply more to do.
As one of the devs that worked on the Droid 1, I think I can explain. Again, it boils down to the kernel. We achieved root shortly after the Eclair 2.0.1 update, IIRC. Once we had that, there were a whole slew of things we started working on unlocking on a kernel level. Things such as built-in overclocking, CPU temperature monitoring, and Wifi tethering. Alot of the things we take for granted were not included in the Linux kernel that the stock Droid used. Kernel level development was the only way we could unlock things like these features.
In other words, we could do worlds more on the Droid 1 than we can on the Bionic. I think devs simply got bored with GB and moved on. Bionic development was pretty stagnant for awhile, so we are lucky to have several dev teams working on the Bionic at all, ICS or not.
EDIT: Or, imagine a race car anology. The Droid 1 is a truly unlimited spec race car, where you can run any drivetrain combo you want to, as well as customizing the body and paintjob. The Bionic is limited to running the exact same drivetrain as every other Bionic out there. One can only customize the body and paintjob.
In this anology, the drivetrain is the kernel, and the body/paintjob is the Android OS.

excellent analogy Dave12308
as far as what the OP is asking, go check out some of the older roms mentioned above (eclipse, liberty, axiom, etc) for some custom GB roms. It doesn't make sense to keep hammering out GB roms when the device is so limited by the locked/encrypted bootloader. ICS has been under development for a while and they still don't have everything worked out, the challenge is there, and most of the devs are looking to challenge themselves instead of just rehashing the same stuff over and over with little tweaks here and there.

K·B Toys (previously known as Kay Bee Toys) was a chain of mall-based retail toy stores in the United States. It was founded in 1922 by the Kaufman brothers. K·B operated 605 stores in 44 U.S. states, Puerto Rico as well as Guam. It was privately held in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. K·B Toys was owned by Melville Corporation (which was responsible for its CVS/Pharmacy chain), but that company sold it to Consolidated Stores in 1996. It was also the second-oldest operating toy retailer in North America (behind FAO Schwarz) before its demise.
Following the company's second bankruptcy in five years, the chain began going-out-of-business sales in December 2008. The store closing sales were concluded on February 9, 2009.[1] International retailer Toys "R" Us announced on September 4, 2009 that it had acquired the remains of K·B Toys, consisting mainly of its website, trademarks, and intellectual property rights.[2]
This section requires expansion with: Foundation, history. (February 2014) |
At the time of its liquidation, K·B Toys operated three distinct store formats: K·B Toys, K·B Toy Works (the result of a merger between KB Toys and The Toy Works), and K·B Toys Outlet (aka Toy Liquidators). K·B Toys stores were mostly found in the company's traditional base of shopping malls, where many of its stores were located for years. K·B Toy Works stores were typically found in outdoor strip malls. K·B Toys Outlet and Toy Liquidators stores, as the name implies, were usually found in outlet centers/malls. At their largest, K·B operated over 1300 stores and were found in all 50 states.
Starting in 2001, KB Toys opened temporary "stores within a store" at select Sears department stores during the Christmas season.[3][4]
K·B closed 156 stores on November 8, 2007 to leave the chain with 1144 stores. On February 9, 2009, K·B closed the remaining stores following the second bankruptcy filing in four years. In addition, K·B Toys' website was closed down.
The K·B Toys brand and related intangible assets were sold by Streambank LLC to Toys "R" Us on September 4, 2009, for a reported $2.1 million. Because K·B Toys' 460 stores had been closed and liquidated, the sale applies mainly to the company's logo, website, and trademarks/intellectual properties. Toys "R" Us remains unsure of how the K·B name will fit into its future business plan.[2] So far, Toys "R" Us uses the K·B Toys name on self-manufactured toys under the name "KB Classics" with the K·B Toys logo.

America The (Not So) Beautiful
Union or Confederates doesn't matter, America clearly won!
America The (Not So) Beautiful, -
I don't know that I need or want to see HIM from the other side, but aside from the fashion faux pas, she's not bad from this side. I don't see 200 pounds of cellulite (aside from the 200 pounds she's next to!) or seven tattoos covering 80% of her … could be a LOT worse. And might be if she turned around, but that's likely another picture.
Like others here, I too must ask why on earth does Wal Mart allow people dressed(or more accurately not dressed) to enter the store.
And why on earth would anyone think it ok to go into stores wearing a swimsuit and nothing else, or in his case what appears to be his underwear?
They look certainly old enough to know better, neither looks like a teenager who has never learned the concept of appropriate behavior.
Someone should take a paddle or a switch and give them both a good oldfashioned licking! If nothing else, maybe then they would dress decently, to cover the stripes and red marks left on their legs and butt cheeks! And hope they'd have to eat all their meals standing for some time!

Apple iPhone offers little growth to AT&T
AT&T remains the king of the iPhone, but that distinction means less with each passing quarter.
The Dallas telecommunications giant sold 4.3 million iPhones in the first quarter, more than 1 million more than Verizon Wireless, and almost certainly more than Sprint Nextel, which sold 1.8 million in the fourth quarter at the height of the iPhone 4S buzz.
So why did AT&T only add a fraction of the contract customers that Verizon nabbed in the same period?
The results highlight an increasingly alarming trend with the wireless carriers: the decreasing benefit that the … Read more

Dollar General gets Act 250 approval, opponents will appealBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | February 28,2013CHESTER The District 2 Environmental Commission approved a land-use permit for a Dollar General Store in Chester on Wednesday.
According to the ruling, the permit authorized the Zaremba Group of Lakewood, Ohio, to build a 9,100-square-foot retail store on two lots consisting of 10 acres combined. The proposed site will be at 319 South Main St. in Chester.
The developer also obtained a conditional-use permit from the towns Development Review Board last April and now has the green light to begin construction, pending an appeal from local opponents.
Shawn Cunningham of Smart Growth Chester, a local group fighting the proposed Dollar General Store, said the developer should plan on an appeal of both the state and local permits.
Were disappointed and a little bit surprised, Cunningham said, shortly after the decision was announced via email.
Several residents and local business owners testified against a Dollar General Store proposal, arguing that the store would affect the local environment. But the District 2 Environmental Commission concluded that the Zaremba Groups plans would meet local and state environmental regulations.
Flooding was a particular concern raised by opponents. During the testimony, Claudio Veliz of Chester showed a video of the Williams River flooding the proposed site during Tropical Storm Irene.
The commission approved the developers remediation plan that would include a 50-foot buffer for stormwater management and flood storage purposes.
The commission also ruled that a Dollar General Store would not affect aesthetics or scenic beauty under Criteria 8 of Act 250. Cunningham disagreed with that conclusion.
There is wording in the town plan that says any new development has to blend harmoniously with the center of the town, he said. This store clearly does not blend in harmoniously with the town.
According to planners, Dollar General is proposing a store with a barn motif that reflects a New England architectural style. The store would include outdoor shielded lighting, a pitch roof with a weather vane and signs, and would meet local zoning regulations.
Opponents claim the store proposal does not comply with the town plan, which asks that all buildings reflect the character of the town village. Veliz argued in past testimony that the Dollar General Store structure is formulaic and would not blend in with traditional New England-style architecture.
Dan MacDonald, the store chains senior director of corporate communications, did not return a call for comment.
Smart Growth Chester is gearing up for its next battle: to appeal the Chester DRB and District 2 Environmental Commission rulings.
The group has 30 days to appeal the commissions decision.
Were in this for the long haul and we plan on going to environmental court and start the arguments all over again, Cunningham said.
Dollar General Store of Goodlettsville, Tenn., is a national retail chain with more than 10,000 stores in 40 states. According to the company website, the stores made more than $14.8 billion in sales last year and is the nations largest small-box discount retailer.

It has a ton of space, and pretty decent sound quality. I don't really like that it doesn't have a video player, and that the battery life is so short. My Sandisk MP3 player has 22 hour battery life! I don't like the whole iTunes set up, but there is awesome software out there so you can use Windows Media Player. I think that's pretty awesome. All in all I think the iPod is nice, kinda chunky, but nice. I don't think it's the best thing out there though. Really this particular iPod model isn't the best for portablity as it's rather bulky and heavy, but it's still pretty cool. I'd recommend it if you can find it at a decent price and have compatible software.
the Apple iPod classic 4th Generation (20 GB) is cheap. It is so simple to use and has plenty of memory.
The Ipod 4th Gen classic 20 gb, is a standard mp3 player. This can be used as an external hard drive. hold photos, and data.
i have bought several ipods, and after changing the battery, they come to life with the seller's music. 4th generation classics only offer a choice of erase the music and sync to your own computer's music, or listen to what music it came with. this 5th generation classic allowed adding its contents to my music, except for itunes purchases. it even had 10.2 gigs of music stored as a file on disc. but it had a broken cable to the lock button.
you can buy these as a gamble on the type of music they hold, but if you do that, are you really into music? these ipods are great if you want to copy your cd's onto your coputer using itunes, and then carry hundreds of albums in your shirt-pocket, yo listen to on headphones, car radio, or home stereo.
i like the simplicity. monochrome screen, simple backlight, and the buttons are easy to use. with the dock connector, which is a recently new feature when this ipod first emerged, is very helpful for once you buy it, that same USB cable used to sync the ipod, can be plugged into many aftermarket radio decks, AC converters, and much more. there are also so many more accessories such as the iHome, speaker towers and much more that work with this ipod. this ipod is for the person who wants one, but doesn't need to pay $300 for basically, a color screen, 100gb bigger HDD, and can choose between silver or black. i think the original white ipods are the best, andi would never buy one that is newer than 4th generation.

Social media was buzzing Tuesday night on the allegation that a local teen was denied service from a restaurant for refusing to remove a medical mask. 17-year-old Sydney Hodge, who is currently receiving chemotherapy for cancer, went to Los Mariachis in Central Center with three of her friends, Tuesday. Emily Bales said they were all wearing masks when they were approached by a waiter who asked if they were going to eat there.
"He was like, 'You take off mask?' and we were like, 'We can't,' and he started talking in Spanish, but we don't know what he was saying, obviously," said Bales.
Bales said they repeatedly told him that Sydney couldn't remove the mask because she has cancer but he kept asking them to remove them. She said they decided to leave after Sydney became embarrassed.
Restaurant owner Luis Cruz, who was out of state, Tuesday, drove to Chillicothe overnight to address the issue. After speaking with his staff, he believes it was a misunderstanding between the two parties, stemming from a language barrier.
Cruz said his employee, who speaks broken English, said he tried to seat the teens twice, never refused the group service, and didn't ordered them to remove the masks.
While Cruz believes the teens and the waiter didn't understand each other during the exchange, he said he is deeply sorry for the embarrassment and hurt the teen has gone through.
"My heart is with the (girl) with cancer because I have family with cancer," said Cruz.
He said they often donate to various community organizations, including some that serve cancer patients.
Earlier this month, Sydney's family reported that bracelets they had ordered as a fundraiser to help pay for her medical expenses had been stolen.

Congrats on an excellent performance of friday and monday concerts :) It was unforgetable to be in Dublin and Croke Park with all of You Fans all over the world! Greetings from Finland. Finnish funs waiting for U2 become here.
marley_moo - 05 August, 2009
birthday party!
me and my boyfreind travelled from leeds england to see u2 in dublin, for me the only place to see them, it was my boyfriends birthday and what a spectacular evening! i was blown away!! we were 1117/1118th people in to the stadium and got into the pit!! tears formed when i realised i was 10ft away from my idol! the evening was, well ,magnificant! words can not describe the emotion and energy that filled the stadium! stuck in a moment was beautiful, as was bad and one. moment of surrender is my favourite song from the new album and was a great closing song. Although the show was different from 05 at croke park in respects to the performance and the encores, costume change etc it was definatley everything i hoped for and more. U2 you rock my world! x
Igor191 - 01 August, 2009

Well Worth It
After spending 36 hours in travel from Los Angeles to Dublin it was sooo well worth the flight cancellations, delays and everything else. My guys were on fire from the get go and I sang at the top of my lungs with no shame. I have loved U2 since I first heard the magical first cords to Sort of Homecoming and although I am not Irish the boys and the people of Dublin sure made me feel at home. I will forever remember U2 Croke Park July 24th 2009.
malcowen - 28 July, 2009
Dublin virgin
My brother, his mate and I came to see U2 in Dublin for the first time this weekend and we weren't disappointed
Highlight of Friday night's performance was Bono nearly not getting hold of a Tricolore in time to start singing again, very close to falling into the crowd at one point
Great show ............. as usual!
bower - 27 July, 2009
Yanks at Croke...
What a great show! been goin since the 80s in the US, but thought that to prove themselves as "dubs" I had to see in person! What an outrageous time...wicked big craic (to mix my metaphors! and showing my age!)
Thank you U2 and Dublin (and Jim of course) for making my irish eyes smile, so to speak. Can't wait for Boston!
DD was a great opening...hope he can get traction outside the island. I would see him over B47...waddya think? sorry larry...

kosis - 26 July, 2009
The best ever
Wow, what a set list, what a vibe, what a night. Like a good wine U2 just get better with age. No other act in the world can match this. A truly magical evening, my tenth U2 gig and the best....so far! Thanks guys for giving us all so much! Bad and Unforgettable fire on the same night - class. Crazy was amazing, moment of surrender a perfect ending. Pity gig has to start in the daylight - not your fault. Pleeeease come back next year after the rest of the world has witnessed this 360 degrees of pure perfection!
Wil Reason - 26 July, 2009
Saturday show even better
Didn't think it was possible after Friday night show, but Saturday was even better !
Hope they BLOW THE CURFEW on Monday night.
Would love to hear 'Bullet', but looking forward to a 3rd night, Excellent, can't wait
Stevetoon65 - 26 July, 2009
Ive seen U2 nine times since 84 and this was the best ive ever seen the boys perform Bad/40.What a night!!!!
bevska - 26 July, 2009
As Travelling Brummies at croke park friday night the boys definatly did not disapoint us in any way.Ireland should be proud of their FAB 4.From entering the stadium until leaving the vib was amazing.We were seated in red zone (disabled seats) and the view was awsome.We didn't even notice it wasn't in full 360'.Last time we heard ONE live was in germany Achtung Baby tour and hearing it live again was emotional for us.Any doubts about new album were put aside when hearing it live, it was absolutly rocking, sun was shining and yes indead U2 made it a beautiful day to remember.Once night fell the claw came into its own.Trully the greatest gig ever.Well done boys you rocked AGAIN.
David Kenny - 25 July, 2009
Nowhere better
You know when U2 come home it's special. This was the one we'd been waiting for. Our band Our town. Nowhere else you want to be on Friday night with the air of thunder and lightning threatening. U2 storm on and lift 80,000 people for two hours from past glories to new wonders. This was an uplifting, celebratory, uprising of the spirit. I was lifted from my gloom, Dublin sparkled in the evening sun before the onslaught of Breathe (I could hardly after two hours). This was what we came for, to be entertained, to be thrilled, to wonder. Best band in the world, you bet your ass.
Hashem - 25 July, 2009
Just wanted to thanks you guys for a great show and your awesome music!
But even more, for your support for the "Green" movement in Iran!! I'm sure you all know that this is not just about Iran. It's about human rights all over the world and hopefully (in the end), a world at peace.
A wold that, among many, John Lennon refers to when he sings Imagine..........
Thank you guys !!!! You ROCK ;)
Betty76 - 25 July, 2009
super organised venue
We want to emphasize the grat organising work done from the people working in Croke Park for yesterday U2 gig... everything was really organised and safe!
We began to queue at 5.30 am and since the beginning all has been done to make people respect the order arrival... and it worked! Super organisation... for a simply super BAND!
zampano - 25 July, 2009
Out of this World!!!
I've seen them 5 times now since 93 and I was pretty sure they would not have surpassed either Zooropa or Pop Mart. But I would have to say that last night was probably the best I have ever seen.
They were simply amazing and surpassed my expectations. The crowd were great, fantastic atmosphere.
You could tell the band were out to prove a point. There were so so many highlights, but if I had to pick one, it would have to be Vertigo, the electricity was palpable. The set list is gonna be hard to beat. The concert was a transcendental experience. The band are in a league of their own
pdkatsea - 25 July, 2009
Welcome Home
What a show! An excellent performance from the band. i have to say. with the recession, job losses, church scandals, the country was on a downer. But all it took to forget that was for Bono to remind us all that we are Irish and Proud and can achieve anything if we put our minds to it. I was truly proud to be irish and present to witness U2's homecoming last night. a fantastic show. THANK YOU lads!
u2aerofan - 25 July, 2009
The greatest U2 show I've ever been to - all the traveling was above and beyond worth it. It was unrealistic. And the version of "I'll go Crazy..." was PHENOMENAL live, as was Ultraviolet and Moment of Surrender. The whole thing was tops - and it made the trip from Dallas completely worth it.
paulmaghie - 25 July, 2009
Worth the wait.....
Getting in line from 8am was definitely worth the wait. With the help of Donal and Jo from Corke, both old hands at the 360 tour having been to several in Europe, we managed to secure the best standing place in the house - in the inner, circle at the back rail just off the centre. It can't get better than having Bono in front Adam to your left on one bridge and Edge to your right on the other. The show was A M A Z I N G. Can't wait for Wembley when I'll do it again.
Lauren Sharkey - 25 July, 2009
Last night was my 1st U2 show and OMG it was such a treat. I came from Omagh in N.ireland which isn't too far. Im back home now and all i want to do is go back uo and see you guys tonight and monday lol. The show was fantastic, makes ye proud to be irish :)
Johnner - 25 July, 2009
What about Ultra Violet....Was that bleedn special or what....excellent show....and did I see Adam taking a jog around? Surely not...hes too cool for that
fredriksahlin - 25 July, 2009
Great show but...
I have been to several fantastic U2 show around the world. I was in Dublin yesterday and saw the show and as many has said it was great but I have to admit that I think the played a little bit to short. On the other shows (not this tour) they have been playing longer sets... that is the only remark on the negative scale because the setlist was awesome. Looking forward to 4 shows in Boston and NY.
scott one - 25 July, 2009
U2 Rock Croke Park
Achtung Andy - 25 July, 2009
Best show of my life, can't wait to dream it all up again at Wembley on the 14th! (Hey Edge please bring back your blistering solo for With Or Without You from the Zoo TV day's and my life will be complete!)
Padraic - 25 July, 2009
Its true, they just....
....keep getting better. I was there for the joshua tree tour and every tour in between. Last night was the best yet, reminded me of why they have a right to call themselves one of, if not the best live band in the world.
baz1973 - 25 July, 2009
WOW! what a show! have been to Croker for Vertigo and to see every tour since Lovetown. This has to rank as one of the best, if not the best... Well worth gettin wet, sunburned and hoarse for :) U2 rule!!
gavan09 - 25 July, 2009
U2 Back to their Best
U2's show last night was fantastic. The set, the claw and energy was amazing. Was was really great ... there was no bullshit .... just the music and the band. Also, the song from No Line are fabulous live.
KellyP - 25 July, 2009
Beautiful Night
Absolutely Awesome ! The best keep getting better. 4 Hill 16 legends rocked the socks of Croker... going again tonight and cant wait ! The remixed Crazy Tonight blew me away !
Wil Reason - 25 July, 2009
Fantastic 1st night in Croker. Great to hear Unforgettable Fire live again.
The set, the sound, the stage, the crowd... excellent !! what a great gig , can't wait to see you again tonight.
clarbran - 25 July, 2009
Waiting for the Band
We stood in line from 8am Friday morning to get a good place near the stage. We met wonderful people from Sweeden, Germany, Italy, USA and France, most of who had been to some of the earlier shows in this tour. The concert was worth even minute of the wait. It was unbelievable, their best ever...
sbyrne1977 - 25 July, 2009
Thank you!!!
Bono, The Edge, Larry & Adam, thank you so much for giving us all a wonderful show last night, I am so happy you made my dream come true, by playing BAD, I have waited a long time to hear it live, Thank you so much and congrats on an excellent performance, Best wishes Sam, Dublin :-)
dotsman - 25 July, 2009
Great Performance, poor venue
The performance was brilliant (although had hoped they would do more of an encore).
Croke Park was not up to this tour's standards though. Not only was HIll 16 closed, but with the stage at the Hill end, and there being a huge gap at the back of the pitch, sitting in the corner, lower tier, I felt somewhat detached from the show (compared to similar seats for Vertigo in 2005). Am going again tonight (GA), so will hopefully be better!

It is a little more than parking lot for RVs. Just dead grass, a table, and a fire pit. The RV are very close together. There are no play area for for children, pets on leach at all times. All visitors have to pay $6 to just enter the camp. We had friends who stopped by to say hello for a few minutes in our RV, they had to pay just to drop by. The staff was incredibly uncaring, and rude to them. I would not recommend this RV camp to anyone.

[JURIST] Opening an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council [recorded video] Sunday, hours after an Israeli air strike that killed over 60 civilians [JURIST report] in the Lebanese village of Qana, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said [statement text] that "both sides in this conflict bear a heavy responsibility, and there is strong prima facie evidence that both have committed grave breaches of international humanitarian law." Annan continued:
The present fighting began on 12 July, with an unprovoked Hizbollah attack on Israel and the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers. Since then, Hizbollah has continued firing rockets indiscriminately into northern Israel, from positions apparently located in the midst of the civilian population.No one disputes Israels right to defend itself. But, by its manner of doing so, it has caused, and is causing, death and suffering on a wholly unacceptable scale.As you know, I have repeatedly condemned all actions that target civilians, and the High Commissioner for Human Rights has reminded all parties that they may be held accountable for any breaches of international humanitarian law.
[JURIST] Arab leaders have denounced as criminal and a breach of international law an Israeli air strike on the Lebanese village of Qana Sunday that killed over 60 civilians - mostly women and children - as the Middle East conflict [JURIST news archive] entered its nineteenth day. The death toll is the highest of any single incident involving non-combatants in the fighting so far. Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora [BBC profile] immediately labeled the attack a "war crime." Arab League [official website, in Arabic; Wikipedia backgrounder] Secretary-General Amr Moussa [BBC profile] said in a statement that "aggressions by Israeli troops that target Lebanese civilians and infrastructure is a confirmation of Israel's hostile intentions, its insistence on ignoring its international commitments and its violation of international law." Jordan's King Abdullah II [official profile] joined in criticizing Israel, stating that the air raid "represents a flagrant violation of international law and conventions;" he urged "an immediate ceasefire and called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities in finding a way out of this crisis and put an end to the Israeli aggression."Following the air strike, Lebanese officials told US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice [official profile], attempting to conduct shuttle diplomacy in the region, that they will not meet with her until there is a ceasefire. Rice had been expected to travel between Jerusalem and Beirut in a bid to stem the conflict. UPI has more. Reuters has additional coverage.1:35 PM ET - Israel's Foreign Ministry has issued this statement by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert:
I express my deep regret, shared by the entire State of Israel and the IDF, for the death of civilians in the village of Qana. Qana was used for launching rockets at Kiryat Shmona and Afula. All residents were warned to leave. There are hiding places for rockets inside the village, and the village itself constitutes a shelter for rocket launchers. We have no policy of killing innocent civilians. For 18 days thousands of missiles have been fired, aimed at murdering innocent civilians in the north.
Israel has agreed to a 48-hour suspension of aerial activity in South Lebanon while it investigates todays tragic incident in Qana. Israel has, of course, reserved the right to take action against targets preparing attacks against it.During this time, Israel will coordinate with the UN to allow a 24-hour period of safe passage for all residents of South Lebanon who wish to leave. Humanitarian convoys remain in effect. We expect that Israel will implement these decisions so as to significantly speed and improve the flow of humanitarian aid.
[JURIST] Iran [JURIST news archive] will stop considering international incentives to end its uranium enrichment program if the UN Security Council [official website] passes a resolution sanctioning the country, Iranian Foreign Ministry [official website] spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi [Wikipedia profile] stated Sunday. France proposed the resolution Friday after negotiations among the permanent members of the Security Council demanding that Iran end nuclear activities by August 31 or face sanctions. Asefi stated such a resolution "would definitely not help solve regional issues and would create a deeper crisis in the region."The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China recently approved a package of commercial incentives aimed at persuading Iran to end enrichment. Iran has stated that it will answer the package by August 22, but that if the resolution is approved, "the package will no longer be on our agenda." Iranian officials have previously threatened to withdraw [JURIST report] from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) [PDF text] if they feel unfairly treated by the Security Council. The Council is expected to vote on the resolution this week. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The seven judges of Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal [official website, in Spanish] Saturday heard arguments by lawyers for leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador [campaign website, in Spanish] for a full recount of the July 2 presidential poll which Obrador lost by 0.6 percent [JURIST report] to conservative Felipe Calderon [campaign website, in Spanish]. Obrador's legal team is arguing that there were errors, falsifications and other problems at over half of Mexico's 130,000 polling places, and that a recount would clarify any dispute concerning the election. Calderon, however, maintains that "the election was clean, it was competitive, it was closely observed." The Electoral Tribunal must declare a winner or annul the election by September 6.Last week Obrador filed a criminal complaint [JURIST report] against the Federal Electoral Institute [official website, in Spanish], the commission that oversaw the vote. Pending a resolution of the electoral crisis, Obrador is continuing to encourage "peaceful civil resistance" [JURIST report], and has organized supporters for another mass protest Sunday. AP has more.

Meltdowns: Do You Speak 'Toddler-ese?'
August 27, 2012
© iStockphoto
Any parent of a toddler has been there: trying to reason with a child in the midst of a nuclear meltdown that would impress a Three Mile Island survivor. Good luck with that. A child mid-meltdown is a force of nature that few can reckon with.
Take heed, humbled parent. Now there is maybe – just maybe – a breakthrough way to cool your kids jets.
Best known as author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, Dr. Harvey Karp is the go-to guru for parents with fussy, crying babies who don't sleep.
The good doctor's follow-up tome was titled, naturally, The Happiest Toddler on the Block. In it he addresses, among other things, how to handle your child's temper tantrums. The trick? Have one yourself. Make it look like you're right in it with him, feeling those feelings and conveying that you understand where he's coming from.
Plus: Toddler Tantrum Solutions and Discipline Tips
Last week, the Atlantic posted this video of Karp in action. In it, he tells visibly wary parents that "When your young child is lost in the jungle of his emotions, you can't just calmly call to him. You have to reflect his level of feeling and join him in the jungle."
Cut to Karp mirroring a toddler's meltdown, using the same language, tone and hand gestures to convey empathy. He calls this approach speaking "toddler-ese" and compares the corollary behavior to that of a cave-man. Amazingly, the toddlers in the video appear to register Karp's sympathy meltdown and emerge from the weeds a bit.
But how practical is this really? Can you imagine throwing a toddler-style fit in a supermarket just to calm your own little Chernobyl tot down? Or is it just too humiliating to check your dignity, even if it means junior will continue to fly off the handle? Let us know your own meltdown hacks in the comments.

Minn. terminal reopens after evacuation
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Officials say a Minneapolis-St. Paul airport terminal has reopened after a suspicious bag prompted an early-morning evacuation.
Sponsored Links
Airport police evacuated the ticketing lobby at the smaller of the airport's two terminals and closed inbound auto traffic early Friday after a bag being scanned by screeners set off an alarm.
Airport spokeswoman Melissa Scovronski says several hundred people in a non-secure area of the terminal were evacuated. A bomb squad was called, and the bag was taken away for examination.
The Transportation Security Administration says suspicious items were found in the checked bag. Scovronski says the bag's owner is being questioned by airport police. Officials say they don't yet know what triggered the alarm.
TSA says the security checkpoint has reopened.
