Where to begin. My son left for basic training in Jan.2010. He had basic training in Fort Benning and my husband, myself and my daughter attended his graduation and thought he was coming home for a two week visit but instead they took him straight into Airborne training. Little did we know it would be the last time my son would see his father alive. My husband died of a fatal coronary and my son was allowed to come home for about 4 days for the funeral and then back to Benning . In around July he was transferred to Fort Campbell and we (my daughter and I )went to see him every weekend we could but still no 2 week visit. Then he was deployed in Sept. to Afghanistan. We hear from him when he can get on facebook occassionally but we miss him so terribly. He is 18 years old and he is doing well and I could not be prouder of him if he were the president.I would so love to hear his voice and hug him. This Christmas we (my daughter and I will have half our family and we cannot bear to even stay at home, so we will go to visit my Mom and Dad in Georgia to just manage the fact that our Christmas will never be the same again. Wow, what would it means to have uninterrupted time with my son? The world. A Mom who loves her son the hero and misses him so much.

There have been many definitions of the "geoid" over 150 years or so. Here
is the one currently adopted at NGS:
Even though we adopt a definition, that does not mean we are perfect in the realization of that definition. For example, altimetry is often used to define "mean sea level" in the oceans, but altimetry is not global (missing the near polar regions). As such, the fit between "global" mean sea level and the geoid is not entirely confirmable. Also, there may be non-periodic changes in sea level (like a persistent rise in sea level, for example). If so, then "mean sea level" changes in time, and therefore the geoid should also change in time. These are just a few examples of the difficulty in defining "the geoid".
1828: C.F. Gauss first describes the "mathematical figure of the Earth" (Heiskanen and Moritz, 1967, p. 49 ; Torge, 1991, p. 2 ; Gauss, 1828)
1849: G.G. Stokes derives the formula for computing the "surface of the Earth's original fluidity" from surface gravity measurements. This later became immortalized as "Stokes's integral" (Heiskanen and Moritz, 1967, p. 94; Stokes, 1849)
1873: J.F. Listing coins the term "geoid" to describe this mathematical surface (Torge, 1991, p. 2 ; Listing, 1873)
1880: F.R. Helmert presents the first full treatise on "Physical geodesy", including the problem of computing the shape of the geoid.

This is the actual case for all points in the conterminous United States. Also note that the ellipsoid does not co-incide with any level surface, but rather cuts across them. This is because the ellipsoid is a geometric invention, and not defined by the actual gravity field of the Earth itself.

So soft I just love it
It is a great color, I just love it. The sweater is very confortable and can easily be worn to the office or a night on the town with friends.
February 22, 2014
Beautiful color.
I got this in the soft coral color. I love the feel of it and the lovely color. It is very soft. Comfortable, easy to care for, and the color is fun. I would buy it in another color. I would recommend to others.
February 6, 2014
nice knit fabric and color
This mock turtle neck has a 'mock' turtle neck that is LONG and fits like a regular turtle neck. The body of the sweater fits more snug over the abdomen and hips, so if you're a pear-shaped girl, consider ordering up a size. I usually wear a 2x, but went by the size charts which grouped my measurements as 1x...would order a 2x in this sweater if ordered again.

Returning It Back
Looks much better on the picture. Poor quality, bad fit sweater.

Paris, city and capital of France, located in the north-central part of the country. People were living on the site of the present-day city, located along the Seine River some 233 miles (375 km) upstream from the river's mouth on the English Channel (La Manche), by about 7600 bce. The modern city has spread from the island (the Île de la Cité) and far beyond both banks of the Seine.
Paris occupies a central position in the rich agricultural region known as the Paris Basin, and it constitutes one of eight départements of the Île-de-France administrative region. It is by far the country's most important centre of commerce and culture. Area city, 41 square miles (105 square km); metropolitan area, 890 square miles (2,300 square km). Pop. (1999) city, 2,125,246; (2005 est.) city, 2,153,600; urban agglomeration, 9,854,000.
Character of the city
For centuries Paris has been one of the world's most important and attractive cities. It is appreciated for the opportunities it offers for business and commerce, for study, for culture, and for entertainment; its gastronomy, haute couture, painting, literature, and intellectual community especially enjoy an enviable reputation. Its sobriquet "the City of Light" ("la Ville Lumière"), earned during the Enlightenment, remains appropriate, for Paris has retained its importance as a centre for education and intellectual pursuits.
Paris's site at a crossroads of both water and land routes significant not only to France but also to Europe has had a continuing influence on its growth. Under Roman administration, in the 1st century bc, the original site on the Île de la Cité was designated the capital of the Parisii tribe and territory. The Frankish king Clovis I had taken Paris from the Gauls by 494 ce and later made his capital there. Under Hugh Capet (ruled 987–996) and the Capetian dynasty the preeminence of Paris was firmly established, and Paris became the political and cultural hub as modern France took shape. France has long been a highly centralized country, and Paris has come to be identified with a powerful central state, drawing to itself much of the talent and vitality of the provinces.
The three main parts of historical Paris are defined by the Seine. At its centre is the Île de la Cité, which is the seat of religious and temporal authority (the word cité connotes the nucleus of the ancient city). The Seine's Left Bank (Rive Gauche) has traditionally been the seat of intellectual life, and its Right Bank (Rive Droite) contains the heart of the city's economic life, but the distinctions have become blurred in recent decades. The fusion of all these functions at the centre of France and, later, at the centre of an empire, resulted in a tremendously vital environment. In this environment, however, the emotional and intellectual climate that was created by contending powers often set the stage for great violence in both the social and political arenas—the years 1358, 1382, 1588, 1648, 1789, 1830, 1848, and 1870 being notable for such events.
In its centuries of growth Paris has for the most part retained the circular shape of the early city. Its boundaries have spread outward to engulf the surrounding towns (bourgs), usually built around monasteries or churches and often the site of a market. From the mid-14th to the mid-16th century, the city's growth was mainly eastward; since then it has been westward. It comprises 20 arrondissements (municipal districts), each of which has its own mayor, town hall, and particular features. The numbering begins in the heart of Paris and continues in the spiraling shape of a snail shell, ending to the far east. Parisians refer to the arrondissements by number as the first (premier), second (deuxième), third (troisième), and so on. Adaptation to the problems of urbanization—such as immigration, housing, social infrastructure, public utilities, suburban development, and zoning—has produced the vast urban agglomeration.
City site
Paris is positioned at the centre of the Île-de-France region, which is crossed by the Seine, Oise, and Marne rivers. The city is ringed with great forests of beech and oak; they are called the "lungs of Paris," for they help to purify the air in the heavily industrialized region. The city proper is small; no corner is farther than about 6 miles (10 km) from the square in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral. It occupies a depression hollowed out by the Seine, and the surrounding heights have been respected as the limits of the city. Elevation varies from 430 feet (130 metres) at the butte of Montmartre, in the north, to 85 feet (26 metres) in the Grenelle area, in the southwest.
The Seine flows for about 8 miles (13 km) through the centre of the city and 10 of the 20 arrondissements. It enters the city at the southeast corner, flows northwestward, and turns gradually southwestward, eventually leaving Paris at the southwest corner. As a result, what starts out as the stream's east bank becomes its north bank and ends as the west bank, and the Parisians therefore adopted the simple, unchanging designation of Right Bank and Left Bank (when facing downstream). Specific places, however, are usually indicated by arrondissement or by quarter (quartier).
At water level, some 30 feet (9 metres) below street level, the river is bordered—at least on those portions not transformed into expressways—by cobbled quays graced with trees and shrubs. From street level another line of trees leans toward the water. Between the two levels, the retaining walls, usually made of massive stone blocks, are decorated with the great iron rings once used to moor merchant vessels, and some are pierced by openings left by water gates for old palaces or inspection ports for subways, sewers, and underpasses. At intermittent points the walls are shawled in ivy.
The garden effect of the Seine's open waters and its tree-lined banks foster in part the appearance of Paris as a city well-endowed with green spaces. Tens of thousands of trees (mostly plane trees, with a scattering of chestnuts) line the streets as well, and numerous public parks, gardens, and squares dot the city. Most of the parks and gardens of the modern central city are on land that formerly was reserved for the kings on the old city's outskirts. Under Napoleon III, who had been impressed by London's parks while living in Britain, two ancient royal military preserves at the approaches to Paris were made into "English" parks—the Bois de Boulogne to the west and the Bois de Vincennes to the east. Moreover, during his reign a large area of land was laid out in promenades and garden squares. Under Mayor Jacques Chirac in the late 20th century, the municipal government initiated efforts to create new parks, and such projects continued into the 21st century.
The Promenade Plantée is a partially elevated parkway built along an abandoned rail line and viaduct in the 12th arrondissement (municipal district) of Paris, on the right bank of the Seine River. It was the world's first elevated park (first phase completed in 1994) and the first "green space" constructed on a viaduct; it has since inspired other cities to turn abandoned rail lines into public parkland. The entire feature runs some 4.5 km (about 3 miles) from the Opéra Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes. Located underneath the elevated portion is the Viaduc des Arts, which stretches along the Avenue Daumesnil. Its former archways house specialized commercial establishments.

Post a "thank you" here.
I don't think any of us (users and/or noobs) really thank our OV devs enough for all their hard work. I for one am very thankful to have been able to apply what I've learned from them. I've been at this for 2 years and have learned more in the past year from the work of these devs. So proud to be apart of the OV family.
Please post here to give thanks to them.

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
Thank you!!
I still don't know too much other than how to flash a ROM or two,
but there were days where my Optimus V was useless to me.
But JerryScript's dev work and messages with AndyOpie and brotherswing opened my eyes to a wonderful, hardworking community that I never knew existed.
I want to thank everyone here for everything that they've contributed to this phone.
A true $99 value, this is one of the best phones ever.
Not because of it's processor speed, or its screen, or camera, but for its large, loving community.
The Nexus and Galaxy and One and Razr devices are all fair and good...
But only we have weekly installments of "As Quattrimus Turns"!
Ahhh I love this phone.
And I love the people who, along with their everyday life, dedicate themselves to making this blasted little device into something incredible.
Here's to everyone.

I've expressed my gratitude quite a bit before, but I'll do it again. You are all awesome. I know how hard what you do is. I would've never been able to build if it weren't for you guys. Thanks BobZhome, tdm, tvall, LeslieAnn, mrg666, jerryscript, drewwalton, blarf, earthnfire, jawz, and even the older ones, like mmarz, zefie, and mmmark. You have all made this phone 10000x better than it ever should've been. I appreciate everything you all have done for me and the community.

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
Thanks to all who have figured out everything this phone could do. I had no idea when I bought it. I hope I get as lucky on my next phone!
Re: Post a "thank you" here.
I'm thankful, if it wasn't for the OV devs I wouldn't have learned as much as I know about Android OS in general. My thanks goes out to all of the devs not just individual ones, you've all done a fantastic job at turning the OV into a godphone
I went from a noob to the go-to guy for Androids amongst my friends and family. I'm constantly looking for new tweaks, and I'm not confused about how to apply them at all, I'm pretty happy to say I learned from the best community ^_^

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
I would like to speak my gratitude to several people that are both here and not here.
Obijohn - for making the first (and fastest) Rom I ever flashed.
JerryScript - For making the AOKP (cuztomization-wise) equivalent of CM7 that I used as a daily driver for a long time
Eollie - For keeping the noobs and noob-bashers under control (when he had the OV)
LeslieAnn - For her awesome Roms that I like for their stock-ness, also thanks to her for VMRoms, and for helping me learn stuff
EarthnFire - for helping me with Bumblebee
BobzHome - For building my favorite CM9 rom and the only cm10 rom
Drewwalton##### (stupid number) - for Cannibal Open Touch, I love it.
TheKraven - for getting us some awesome CM9/10 fixes for roms I use
Blarf - for IHO, which I used for a long time and benefits me everyday.
Brotherswing - for DHoT (home of my themes), and being an awesome admin
tdm - for quattrimus, the first ICS rom I flashed and used for a while.
Lupohirp - for building cm9 and 10 like a boss when no one else could, first cm10 was a direct port of his rom.
Koushik Dutta - for CWM, which powered my recovery from day 1
The rest of you in cyberspace - there are a lot of you I haven't listed that although haven't specifically provided me with a rom, you've been helpful in other ways, basically all of you that theme and/or build or try to build roms (you know who you are)
The rest of the devs I didn't name or forgot- I may not have used your roms, but I respect you, otherwise I forgot about you, forgive me
You've all in your way helped me go from complete noob (both with computers and androids) to theme and app dev in a year, getting an OV was one of the most important purchases I've made as a kid
Thanks, and may Root Access be with you, always.Last edited by anthonycr; 10-10-2012 at 02:15 PM.

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
First, can we all agree on our next phone? I fear the day I have to move on from my godphone, not just for the roms, but for the people who are behind them, and the community that shares them. Let's seriously agree on a next phone when the time comes.
I would like to thank all of the developers here. I completely lucked into this amazing community, all from being a cheapskate who wanted unlimited data and was willing to stop actually talking to people. The ov forums here are really the best online communities I've ever joined. People are so helpful and friendly. I put off custom roms for way to long because other forums seemed to be filled with passive aggressive hostility and superiority that I haven't seen here once.
Well if i say, "community " one more time I'm gonna puke.
BobZhome and Leslie Ann for president 2016!

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
I'm sure the other devs appreciate it as well.
Upconvert, regarding your "next phone"
As it stands right now... The Evo V has radio issues, easily fixed IF you root/rom/S-Off and turn it into an Evo 3d. At which point it becomes the marquee phone for VM. It's fast and can do everything, including connect to usb thumbsticks. On the other hand, it is bulky, heavy and expensive. Like I say about the Triumph, you shouldn't have to root to make the phone work out of the box, which stinks, but at least in this case we can use stock HTC parts and actually fully correct the problem, unlike the Triumph which still leaves you with a gimped phone. If you need a powerful phone, this is your best option, but it's at the exact opposite of an OV as it's not a budget phone.
The Elite is coming along, however it is waaaaaaay behind in terms of roms and things. We only just got a working recovery and a couple roms going on it in the last month or so and so far there is really not a lot of good devs working on it. However, rumor is that CM9 is now booting on it, so that will liven that phone up a lot. LG did some very strange things to that phone, it had a lot of potential to replace the OV as a killer low budget phone. It actually IS the replacement for the OV. While it is still capable, I'm not sure it will ever live up to the legacy. It should have gotten ICS instead of GB, it has data issues (it likes to stay in 1x mode, even though it says 3g), and development is painfully slow.
I don't know enough about the new Samsung to really comment on it yet. I do know that no one at Vmroms is doing anything with it. While that isn't authoritative, it does have connections to a lot of former and current OV devs.
In my opinion, the best phone out of the box on Virgin at the moment and the best replacement for the OV, is the One V. You can find it on sale for about $150 (same as the OV when it came out). There is full Sense 4 available from a few roms, there is MIUI, CM, etc.. It's a very slick phone, and works well right out of the box. Dev work is coming along nicely, and with a few more dedicated devs, could easily catch and surpass the OV for options and things very quickly. There is even some docks and accessories available (once you have a dock you will always want one). This would be my recommendation for anyone upgrading their OV. It's cheap and a great successor. If I didn't have my Evo, I would have this, it's nice enough that I even considered downgrading to it (it's very light and slim).

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
It's rare when people you've never met have done so much that made a difference. Honestly, every single day I benefit from the work of people on this and a couple of other forums. Instead of spending money I can use on a lot of other things I need, thanks to all the work and information here, I've rooted, flashed a custom recovery, and made my internal memory issue go away with Link2SD. And pay $25 a month...sweet. It would have been a significant challenge without this resource. I'm still looking at which ROM to flash since after flashing a new kernel I lost accelerometer functionality and reverted back to stock. If it wasn't for what I've learned here, I wouldn't even be aware that I have to take into account my OV has the Hitachi screen when looking. There is a good chance I would have at least soft bricked it. So here it is, a big formal thank you with a cherry on top to all the devs and others who contribute here.

Thank you to all the developers. We have a phone with second to no support outside the Nexus line. Out date when it was release we can still run relatively up to date firmware

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
I've been here for 2 months. 2 whole months. And in those months, I've been amazed! The people here.... unlike any other forum.
I got the OV for Christmas last year and I thought the phone was sooo cool! (It is my first android)
But after about 3 months I noticed that my friends androids where so much more powerful and the OV started to lose its shine for me.
After 8-9 long and painful months, I heard about this little thing called "rooting"
I decided to do some research about this whole "rooting" thing and ended up here, on the android central forums.
I read up on rooting and installing custom roms. I eventually got clockwork mod and installed BobZ's GB rom (my current rom)
This rom made me fall back in love with my phone! There was so much more freedom! So many new features!
But today, I ordered a Samsung galaxy reverb for $100 (great price, lasts until Monday)
Sadly, I didn't discover this wonderful forum earlier and get to know you all better! But I'll still check in every now and then because the reverb doesn't have a thread (yet. Anybody working on anything/thinking about starting something?)
And once again I would like to thank BobZhome for making me see the potential in this little phone!
Also all of you that have helped me over these two short months

Re: Post a "thank you" here.
I think the the "next phone" WAS going to be the One V. Until the reverb went on sale for the same price that the One V was at radio shack.
Although many people bought the One V anyways.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. (I hope its the reverb, being that I bought one myself :P)

Prof. Sisk, students, reflect on successes of Appellate Clinic's inaugural year
Published on: Friday, June 21, 2013
In its inaugural year, UST Law's newly-created Appellate Clinic saw two 3L students, Christopher Motz ('13) and Terrence Schnurr ('13), represent a client in a case before the United States Court of Appeals under the supervision of
Prof. Gregory Sisk
. These students became part of an energetic and committed team of advocates that prepared the opening and reply briefs, with one of the students also arguing before a panel of nationally-prominent judges.
A former appellate specialist with the U.S. Department of Justice, Sisk, who continues to be involved in appellate cases (most recently in two Supreme Court cases), said he created the clinic with the goal being to provide UST Law students with the opportunity to further develop writing and advocacy skills, as well as to give them a chance to learn about the jurisdiction, rules, strategies, and jurisprudence of the appellate courts system and to analyze and argue significant legal issues.
"This clinic is really designed to give law students a chance to exercise lawyering skills in a real-world appellate practice experience," Sisk said.
Over the past academic year, Motz and Schnurr have been working with Sisk on Patterson v. Schriro, a case which raised a prisoner's claims of denial of religious liberty rights and deliberate indifference to medical treatment and adequate nutrition. The team also included University of Arkansas law students T.W. Brown and Matthew Mitchell at the University of Arkansas working under the supervision of Prof. Dustin Buehler. During the fall semester, the team examined the record, developed issues for the appeal, and then prepared an opening brief. In the spring they reviewed the respondent's brief and prepared a reply brief.
On April 15, in the lavishly-decorated marble-walled main courtroom in the Ninth Circuit's headquarters in San Francisco, Motz, along with Brown, presented argument before a panel of three - Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain, and Judge N. Randy Smith.
During their argument before the panel, Motz and Brown were questioned extensively about the law and record by the judges.
On May 8, the Appellate Clinic team received the news that the panel had affirmed the District Court decision and ruled against the prisoner's religious liberty and medical indifference claims. The panel recently denied a petition for rehearing in which the Appellate Clinic argued that dismissal of the medical indifference claims at the pleading stage was contrary to a recent federal precedent.
Although the team was naturally disappointed by the unfavorable result, their client, Barry Northcross Patterson, wrote the students several times to express his appreciation for their efforts in advocating his claim. The students expressed to Patterson, their gratitude in being afforded the opportunity to take on his case. Motz said it was a privilege for them to learn from the client as well - especially from his experiences in prison life and his frustrating difficulties in getting those in the judicial system to listen to his pleas.
"I really got a sense of Mr. Patterson's humanity," Motz said, reflecting on the experience, "that this appeal was important to him in a way far deeper than one could grasp from reading district court orders or legal memoranda. For me, it was my first taste that I was developing professional skills that could really impact a person's life for the better."
Following the experience, Prof. Sisk said he has been moved to begin work on a scholarly article about the daunting procedural obstacles that prevent this frequently-ignored segment of our society—the millions of individuals incarcerated in our prisons and jails—from obtaining a court hearing about the abuses they suffer and the inadequate health care they are provided.
Schnurr said participating in the Appellate Clinic provided an invaluable, practical and professional experience that stood apart from other law school activities he has taken on.
"It was an amazing opportunity to apply all the skills I had developed in law school. The contrived cases I had encountered previously—in Lawyering Skills classes, in intramural moot courts, and in the law journal write-in—of necessity, were simple and tended to point the way to the issues and cases to be considered…Here, we found a real world case with a long, often muddled, record and we had to begin by plunging into the record to fully understand the issues involved."
"I am honored to have been included in this program and I know I'll be a better lawyer because of it, wherever my career takes me," Schnurr said.

Nairobi, 25 Apr 06
The "Image-in" programme depicts the world of 10 boys and girls aged 13 to 15 asked to focus on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aimed at alleviating poverty and showing how they apply to their lives among the poor and the very poor. Quickly, and with considerable energy, they soon devised a way of presenting their pictures with caption stories in a body of work that will also be published as a book.
All of the young photographers are members of the Mathare Youth Sports Association. Run by young people, for young people, the association formed in 1987 at the initiative of Bob Munro, a Canadian former UN official, became the first of its kind to organize football leagues in the slums. It was also the first to set up teams for girls, and the first to send a girls' team to the Norway Cup. In 2003, it was one of 165 candidates short-listed for the Nobel Peace Prize – a proposal by the former Norwegian Member of Parliament, Lise Gjorn, as a tribute to African youth resisting the temptation to resort to crime as a way out of their poverty. Today, the association is the largest youth sports organization in Africa with 1,128 boys' teams across the continent, and 269 teams for girls that altogether involve some 14,000 players.
During a visit to the association's Mathare headquarters this week, UN-HABITAT's Executive Director, Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, said: "My coming here shows UN-HABITAT's commitment to addressing some of the problems young people of this area are facing."
In the football leagues, participants must undertake community service for which points are awarded to the teams for every successful project. Points are gained both for winning a game and also for cleaning the environment and doing art projects. Many players have been trained as HIV/AIDS counsellors, spreading the prevention message in a high risk area of Kenya. The professional players of Mathare United must complete at least 60 hours community service a month, for which they are paid, sponsored by local companies.
The community work includes the association's "Clean-Up Project", help for street children arrested as vagrants, or joining in the art activities, such as the "Shootback" photographic programme. The "Shootback" programme started in 1997 and coordinated by Lana Wong, is today run by James Njuguna's, "Image-in" project.
With long-term funding from Norway, cameras and technical support from FUJI Kenya, the project organized by the Mathari Youth Sports Association and supported by UN-HABITAT, has grown into a major communications exercise that will see the exhibition travel from cities in Kenya, to Vancouver and on to Oslo, Norway.

So why should you choose Celebrity? If you see eye to eye with my previous points, I think you will enjoy Celebrity. Remember, you get what you pay for! However, Celebrity is very inexpensive. This is not a ship for families with young children (thank god). However, if your children are young adults they will do just fine.
The rooms are small compared to the usual hotel room. However, if you compare them to other cruise ships they are a bit larger and better appointed. My wife can see the motion of the sea, so we always get an interior cabin. If you spend time in your cabin to sleep and shower, the interior cabin should be fine. If you like spending time in you cabin relaxing, eating, and sitting on a balcony. Get the verandah room.
Dinner dining was excellent. My wife and I did the select dining (prepaid tips). I still tip my server, sommelier, and maitra d' on the first night to insure preferred treatment. 50 bucks well spent. Some of you reading this are saying to yourself "I thought you tip at the end" Yes, you can, but if you grease the wheels early, they work very well for you. If you enjoy wearing a suit to a formal dinner and going to a show afterwards, this is for you. Smart casual is your usual country club dinner duds, nice slacks, button down or polo with an optional jacket. Formal night is a nice suit and tie, personally I hate to wear a tuxedo, but nice dark suit will due.
Entertainment on the ship is above average. No, it is not Las Vegas. But for the price - free - it can't be beat. I am not overly critical. I have no theatrical or musical talent, so I can appreciate their talent.
If you enjoy drinking alcohol as I do, Celebrity has an unbeatable premium liquor package that's a complete steal. You are able to have all the premium drinks and glasses of wine up to $12. It include beer, frozen, martinis, after dinner, soft, coffee fufu drinks. At less than $50 a day, you have do a cost vs. benefit.
The Martini Bar is awesome. Definitely a great bar to hang out at before and after dinner. We there every night to meet up with new friends. It has a great atmosphere and drinks. Quasar, the neighboring night club plays good music and small crowd. The main night club Sky Lounge on the Lido deck get moving only if there is a good 30's to 40's crowd. If not, it is a ghost town.
The buffet line is just not for me. I just can't handle the beefy beffers gording themselves like cattle before they're slaughtered. However the food is generally very good. The omelet, pasta, sushi, and waffle areas are great. Just don't hit them during the busy times.
On Solstice you should take advantage of Bistro on 5. It's only five dollars and the food is excellent and somewhat healthy. It's a crepe restaurant with appetizers, main courses, and desserts. It is open in the morning for breakfast and doesn't close till late night. My wife I went there everyday for breakfast and lunch. It was simply awesome! Don't be bashful to ask for sometime different. I told the chef what I wanted and he made, by the way none of the ingredients were on the menu.
The other restaurants: Blu, Murano, Silk Harvest, Tuscan Grill. I feel the food and the formal Grand Epernay is well beyond adequate. Would I spend the money? At $70 a couple it's a little $$$. When the formal dining is free, it's kind of hard to justify the price. I'd rather spend my money on a massage or an excursion.
The pools are generally a complete zoo, or should I say a farm. The cattle, horses, and swines are out in force. The indoor pool is very quiet and relaxing place to read a book. If you really want to catch a tan, go up to the front deck. It is very quiet with no obstructions. The best place to relax is the Lawn Club. There is a bar at the rear and plenty of personal space on this deck.
Like in life, you get what you put into it. So go on your trip with a good attitude. Treat the staff with respect and some friendly banter and you will be in heaven. My wife and I always have a great time on cruises, and they are always with Celebrity. Problems do arise as they always do in life, so be patient and you will be rewarded. If are that typical turd that expect people to wait on you hard and foot while treating them with complete disrespect, I wish you wouldn't cruise. Even these disrespectful idiots have a great time on Solstice.

A word from Oishi Thai
Born in Chiang Rai, Thailand, Executive Chef Piyarat Arreeratn a.k.a. Bee moved to the United States to broaden his culinary skills. Chef Bee worked for Nobu Matsuhisa at Nobu Miami Beach in the Shore Club with many great chefs well trained by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Chef Bee also worked
with talented local Chef Kevin Cory of NAOE. Thoroughly imbued by this discipline, Bee found the confidence to tackle his first experience as an Executive Chef at Oishi Thai in North Miami Beach year 2005. This was following a memorable experience at the eternally posh Nobu in South Beach. More information coming soon.

Diner Reviews
Incredible food, presentation and
service. You would never expect the quality that you would find in this small restaurant in a shopping strip. Definitely worth making the drive if its not in your neighborhood!"
Dined on 1/7/2014
Great food served with accurate
image. We had tempura very crispy and rice. The ambient is very noisy and too dark. Quality and price level is very good."
Dined on 12/30/2013
we have been coming here for a few
years , even though I live down south in Pinecrest and this restaurant is near Aventura its worth the drive, if you are a fan of real quality sushi this is the place , they always have fresh Toro and all the tuna rolls are done with Blue fin Tuna , its awesome , also they make a whole fried Snapper that they will serve chunked for you that is the best , nothing like it anywhere in Miami"

Never had chewy sushi before!! We
eat sushi at least once a week. The nori in the sushi was so chewy that you could not even swallow it. We called over the server, who feigned ignorance by not understanding English. We then spoke to the chef who said that the warm rice softened the nori which made it chewy!!! We had ordered a second roll which they said would be made without nori, but what we received was a huge glob of rice with a small spot of yam tempura for $9.95. Normally less than five dollars at other restaurants.. Other restaurants would have adjusted the check to compensate for the fact that we couldn't eat either sushi. We had been loyal patrons but would not return here again. Poor service,expensive,and in edible food!"

M husband & I have been coming to
Oishi since they opened. It is our 'go to' sushi/thai favorite! The lunch specials are a terrific value. My husband usually orders the Chicken w/ basil sauce or the Pad Thai. I usually order a la carte from the menu: salmon and anago sushi or various rolls and the sautéed japanese vegetable plate. Other excellent dishes are some that the chef has created: his special ceviches and fish carpaccios as well as the miso cod. In addition to the food, the restaurant's interior is lovely and comfortable and the staff delightful. The chef/owner was previously at Nobu and brought his skill and resources uptown. A huge thank you for that! You can't go wrong here."

Loved! Great food! Nice outdoor
dining! Everything was delicious!"
Dined on 11/16/2013
Knowing Chef Bee developed menu &
dishes at Khong River House, I searched for his restaurant in N. Miami, owned prior to bringing KRH to a James Beard nomination in just a yr! I read that he parted ways & has returned full-time to Oushi Thai, never to be compromised for quality & style! I am thrilled to have dined here!. Welcome is warm, genuine, like dining w/ an old friend. Food quality top knotch-whether sushi, Japanese or Thai. He buys fresh each day- hands on & the food is just superb! He recommended Fried Bok Choi-OMG!, made a special seafood Pad Thai, outstanding! His mom in directly in from Thailand, is cooking w/ him. They made a delicious tomato grd. pork dish. Everything made to order. it does not get any better than this!"
Dined on 9/3/2013
Welcomed. From the minute you walk
in and are greeted by the hostess, this family run gem makes you feel special. Once seated you are greeted by a true culinary talent, Chef Bee. As he introduces himself you can already feel the energy and passion he has for his food. Throughout the meal he checks in with nearly everyone in the restaurant who all appear to be repeat customers or soon to be. And then there is the food. Impeccable presentation as each dish is more beautiful than the next. The layering of flavor from coconut to kaffir lime to five spice takes you on a journey to his homeland. The quality of ingredients is better than any you find in SoFL. This is one place you want to return again, and again."

Low key strip mall location and
simple setting but the food and service are excellent. This is the place to go for enjoying quality Thai food in a friendly atmosphere."
Dined on 7/3/2013
We love it here! The special sushi
dishes are incredible! And the service is fabulous."
Dined on 6/22/2013
We sat outside, not much ambiance,
sit inside for that. Service was very slow. Had to get up and request a check for my table. When I went inside the restaurant was deserted. Not sure why service was slow. Food was ok. Had higher expectations based on reviews."

Great food and great service. Will
come back again"

Amaaaaaaazing food in an

Don't ruin your life by going to law school! Over $200K in nondischargeable loans and a dismal legal labor market for new grads. Even if you get a job, it probably won't pay well. Law school applications are way, way down for a reason. The word is out that law school is a losing proposition. Don't do it!!!!!!!! There are much better things you could do with the money and time!

Voice Platform and Support Network for Families of Missing and Victims of Crime
Chief of detectives Col. Miguel Canlla said police are seeking Joran van der Sloot, 22, in the Sunday killing of 21-year-old Stephany Tatiana Flores in a Lima hotel.
El Comercio newspaper in Lima reported that the girl was stabbed, according to police. She is the daughter of a businessman and race car driver, Ricardo Flores.
The girl's father, Ricardo Flores, said van der Sloot appears with her in video taken at a Lima casino early Sunday.
Police say they are seeking to confirm van der Sloot's identity with the Dutch Embassy.
Police told El Comercio that she had been seen going out in recent days with van der Sloot.
He reportedly arrived in Peru on May 14 from Colombia and left the country on Monday bound for Chile, according to RPP.com in Peru, citing immigration officials. Interpol has been notified to assist in the search. Canlla says Peru is asking Chilean authorities for help in the case.
The victim's body was found in a hotel room in the República de Panamá Avenue in the Miraflores district.
Holloway, 18, of Mountain Brook, Ala., was last seen in public leaving a bar on the Carribean island of Aruba with van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers — Deepak and Satish Kalpoe — hours before she was due to board a flight home from a school trip. No trace of her has ever been found and no one has been charged with the crime.
Earlier this year, it was reported that van der Sloot confessed to dumping Holloway's body in a sit-down interview with a television journalist, according to a Dutch tabloid newspaper and Aruba's chief prosecutor.
However, the chief prosecutor Peter Blanken told NBC News in February that the suspect's story was "very unbelievable," and no charges followed the confession.
"The locations, names and times he gave just did not make sense," Blanken told NBC News.
De Telegraaf quoted Blanken as saying that van der Sloot's statement was "held together by lies and fantasy."
The interview was not aired by German broadcaster RTL because of doubts about whether van der Sloot was telling the truth, Blanken added.
Van der Sloot claimed that Holloway had died accidentally and insisted that he did not kill her, Blanken said.

Grilled Veggie Tacos
Categories: All, Appetizers, Main Dishes, Recipes
Tags: , Allergy Friendly, Dairy Free, GFCF, Gluten Free, Healthy Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian, Veggie Tacos
I've been on a taco kick lately. We made beer-battered fish tacos for St. Paddy's Day, grilled tofu tacos over the weekend (stay tuned for recipe), and now veggie tacos for this week's recipe newsletter. The common theme here obviously isn't the fillings, but the wrap. If you've never made my homemade gluten-free flour tortillas, you're truly missing out! Put whatever fillings suit your fancy (they make a great bread sub for sandwiches, too!) and make extras to freeze so you never have to go without!
Here, I borrowed the theme from one of my favorite college restaurants and made a deliciously healthy version of what they called the "Flyin' Mayan:" a sweet potato and black bean burrito. You could use fish, chicken or just other veggies that you have on hand. I've grilled my sweet potatoes in thick slices much like steak fries, adding black beans, corn, avocado and my yummy vegan slaw, all wrapped up in a soft, warm flour tortilla – it's the perfect combination!
Grilled Sweet Potato Tacos
- 1 recipe vegan coleslaw
- 1 recipe gluten-free flour tortillas
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1/2 cup Shoepeg corn
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- salsa of choice
- olive oil
Wash and slice sweet potatoes. Halve bell pepper and avocado. Spray grill with oil and warm to medium-high flame. Lay sweet potato slices, peppers and half avocado (cut side down) on grill. Turn while cooking to cook on both sides to get grill marks. Cook until fork tender.
Prepare any other filling ingredients (black beans, corn, tomatoes, etc.). If tortillas have been made ahead of time, wrap in a tea towel and microwave or warm in the oven on low temperature until soft and pliable.
Layer coleslaw, sweet potatoes and other fillings in each tortilla, top with salsa, then wrap like a burrito or fold like a taco. Enjoy!
Serves 4-5.

These grilled veggie tacos look awesome, dear!!! They'd make for fun and delicious Friday night fare for sure.
Jules said: on March 27, 2012
Thanks, Shirley! They are a great option because you can really use anything for the fillings!
Kay Nelson said: on April 5, 2012
Flour tortilas are not gluten free! I would use corn instead.
Jules said: on April 5, 2012
That's right, Kay – regular flour tortillas are not gluten-free, but you should try my homemade GF flour tortillas! They're so much better than corn for rolling and for taste!
sarah Thorsteinson said: on May 9, 2012
I tried these and they were to die for! My kids loved them. Awesome recipe. Thanks so much. Nice to have "flour" tortillas again.

We strive to make the services of the Math Center available to as many students as possible, providing a friendly, non-intimidating atmosphere of learning that responds to the individual strengths and needs of each student. The Math Center is a free resource for students seeking help with their Math or Math-related course. The Center (on the 3rd floor of SJH) is staffed by teachers and student-tutors. The Center follows the SUS Academic Calendar and is open
Students requesting tutoring may make an appointment by calling 215-248-7088, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com) or stopping in when the Center is open. When crowding necessitates, those with appointments will be given preference over students who do not. Students may request either a 30 minute or 50 minute session.
Tutoring is a joint effort. To benefit fully, students should come with specific questions that they encountered when doing assignments on their own. Those coming to catch up after an absence will profit by reading the sections they missed. Tutors are instructed not to work only on the problems assigned to the student, but on parallel examples of similar skills.
Tutoring is most beneficial when the student practices what was learned before extended time lapses. It is better to practice 20 minutes a day, rather than cram immediately before a test.
When plans change, the students are asked to call the Center to cancel or change their appointments. If students fail to do so, they deprive someone else of tutoring time, and so will lose their tutoring privileges for one week.
In addition to individual and small group tutoring, the Center houses software programs, math Websites, books, and practice worksheets for student use. For help when the Center is closed, go to (http://patrickjmt.com) and use your textbook's chapter and section title to locate the videos on your topic.
Placement/ Proficiency tests are required of all students in Undergraduate (SUS) and Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) and are administered in the Math Center. These computerized tests measure skills needed for college-level coursework and may determine that a student is required to take an appropriate developmental course.
Tests will be administered one weekend each month at specified times: Friday 1:00-8:00pm; Saturday 11:00am-2:00pm; Monday 9:00am-11:00am. Consult this semester's schedule.
Call the Math Center at 215-248-7088, e-mail email@example.com, or visit the Math Center to make an appointment to take the test.
There is no cost for the first test for students in SUS and SCPS. The cost for re-taking a test is $5.00 per test.
SUS - Results and placement will be posted on Blackboard. SCPS - Results and placements will be received through the students' Advisors. Math Test Preparation Resources

Home > Houston Methodist Research Institute > News & Events > Dr. Elvin Blanco Awarded U.S. Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program and Susan G. Kome |
HOUSTON (Feb. 1, 2011) -The Methodist Hospital Research Institute congratulates Dr. Elvin Blanco of the Department of Nanomedicine for his fellowship awards from the U.S. DOD-BCRP and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Dr. Blanco, under the mentorship of Dr. Mauro Ferrari, has received a total of $628,000 for three years to develop a nanotechnology-based 'Russian nested doll' system for the targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs for breast cancer treatment. In close collaboration with co-mentor Dr. Funda Meric-Bernstam in the Department of Surgical Oncology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Dr. Takafumi Sangai, a visiting scientist in Dr. Meric-Bernstam's laboratory, Dr. Blanco designed a system to reduce the toxic side effects and enhance the anti-cancer properties of chemotherapy drug combinations.
"At the crux of the research sponsored by these two organizations is the desire to enhance drug delivery using a strategy that combines, within the same nanoparticle, different drugs that when administered together, synergize and result in a greater antitumor effect," says Dr. Blanco.
By encapsulating the drugs in a polymer nanoparticle, they can be concentrated at cancer sites. The 'nested' design then releases the two drugs sequentially, and in a controlled manner over time, that makes them more efficient at killing cancer cells.
"These novel delivery approaches may have utility for many additional therapeutics in the future," says Dr. Meric-Bernstam.
Dr. Ferrari adds, "Dr. Elvin Blanco is a gem of a researcher, who combines brilliance, competence, great communication skills and a compassionate personality, at the service of those who suffer. Though a young man, he embodies the best values of medical research. It is a great privilege to have him at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute. He is certainly among the very best medical scientists of his generation, and I have complete confidence that he will contribute greatly to finding new, powerful tools to use in the fight against breast cancer."

Northern Hogsucker
Catostomidae (suckers) in the order Cypriniformes (carps, minnows and loaches)
Medium-sized sucker with large, square head. Head concave between eyes, lips highly protrusable and covered with bumps. Mouth is at tip of snout on bottom. Eye is much closer to the rear edge of the gill cover than it is to the tip of the snout. Usually has four dark crossbars. Slender-bodied. Forked tail.
Total length: 8 to 15 inches; maximum about 17 inches.
Habitat and conservation:
Inhabits permanent streams with moderate to swift current, clear water, gravel or rubble bottom. Usually found in riffles, also found in pools with current. This species' coloration makes it almost invisible when in rests on a gravel stream bed.
An energetic feeder, overturning rocks and stirring up the bottom as it forages for immature aquatic insects and other bottom life with its fleshy, sucking lips.
Distribution in Missouri:
Abundant and widely distributed in Ozarks. Range extends northeastward from the Ozarks into prairie tributaries of the upper Mississippi River. Also found in Moniteau Creek (Moniteau County) and Cedar Creek (Boone and Callaway counties.).
A game fish; one of the most abundant and widely distributed stream fishes in the Ozarks. Sometimes called "hog molly" and "box head."
Life cycle:
Individuals can live for 11 years.
Human connections:
This game fish is seldom taken on a baited hook but may be caught by gigging, snagging and snaring. It's a less desirable food fish than other suckers, since much of its bulk is made up of the bony head, so there is less usable meat.
Ecosystem connections:
Other fishes, especially the smallmouth bass, longear sunfish and various minnow, commonly follow foraging hogsuckers to feed on the small organisms exposed by the hogsucker's energetic rooting. Shortened URL

Running rodent measures typing speed
Instead of the boring words-per-minute (wpm) rating when talking about typing speed, how about going by revolutions per minute (rpm)? Seen here is the USB Mice Wheel (that's the product name, though there's only one mouse there), which responds to your typing speed. The faster you go, the faster it turns.
The product requires you to install some software, and it works only for Windows XP. If you'd rather not plug it in, you can put in some batteries and it'll still work, except the speed will be controlled by a knob and not your keyboard. … Read more

Fiction. It's much harder for big men to assert themselves early than guards. Davis is with a young team, in a brutal conference, and he spent only one year in college. I'll go with Portland point guard Damian Lillard because he is older, he'll have the ball in his hands and he's the rare rookie with a lot of experience running the pick-and-roll. The Blazers will bounce back this season and Lillard stands to receive much of the credit.
Fiction. Ultimately, Davis will be the class of the '12 draft. His defensive instincts remind me of Ben Wallace's and his offensive game will polish in time. But the ROY award often goes to the player who puts up big numbers, and I think there will be rookies who have better statistical seasons than Davis. Lillard scored in college, scored in the summer league and, with the starting guard job in hand, will likely score for a Blazers team desperately in need of offensive firepower.
Davis will EVENTUALLY b a very good d player (I very much believe that other rookies will post better more impressive #'s v. Davis) in the NBA but as far as ROY goes, it's FACT that Lillard's got this (he's got the maturity & smarts to succeed w/ the excellent position he's in ;)
Lillard because he'll have the rock in his hands alot more than Davis.
Damian Lillard got this.Anthony Davis is gonna be Marcus Camby with better offense. Lillards gonna have the ball more. He is more mature. Anthony has to play with Ryan Anderson, Robin Lopez. Defensive playres dont usually win ROY
What's up with calling the ball the "rock"? Are we playing basketball in Palestine?Thank you, thank you. Please tip your waitress...g'night.
I believe the rock came into being as a basketball via "The Flintstones" in the 60s...I want Lillard to get ROY of course, heck I want him to be an allstar but seeing as he's yet to play a game in the NBA..from the preseason games so far I think Barnes in Golden State is making a case to be a candidate.
I feel it is Lillard's to lose, because he will run the show in Portland. Davis is a starter but a roll-player none the less.
