Anyone else interested in doing a group with the following:
Okami HD
....maybe Tokyo Jungle
I'd take a resell and host it. I mainly just want Guilty Gear, but I'm running low on available accounts on my PS3, so I figured it'd be best to do multiple games in one group.
If you're hosting it, count me in. Will take a phantom slot.

Valorie Eversole Daily Union Editor
Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — The Shelbyville Chautauqua building may still get a chance at a new life as the City Council agreed Monday evening to hire an engineering firm to assess the project.
The council agreed to have BWC, a Decatur engineering firm, begin the first two of a 4-phase plan which includes measuring everything, making recommendations of what should be done and giving an estimate. Estimated cost of the phases is $38,000, which was suggested to be paid from the $150,000 already raised by the Chautauqua committee. BWC has experience in these types of buildings, having worked on the Firestone building in Decatur.
"With Phases 1 and 2 we will have a better idea and make a better decision (about the building)," said Mayor Jeff Johnson.
Former Chautauqua committee chairman Wayne Gray, told the council that steps need to be taken now to shore up the building to reduce the risk of collapse during the winter months.
The 110-year-old building suffered a partial roof collapse during the late 1970s and temporary repair work was done at that time. Now the replaced beam is twisting, threatening another collapse. Because of the threat, liability insurance on the Chautauqua has been cancelled and the structure has been closed to further use.
"The City should consider that as new damage and consider that it should be handled outside of funds raised by the Chautauqua committee," Gray said, suggesting that the City foot the expenses of shoring the beam.
A sub-committee of the former Chautauqua committee is currently developing a business plan for the building's usage and financial support.
"We will look at the business plan and determine from there if tax money should be used," said Johnson.
"A decision needs to be made soon," Gray answered back. "We've waited nine months since the decision to possible tear down the building. We've done nothing as a city. Things have not gotten better, but it's probably in worse condition than it was when it was shut down."
We as a city have to do something soon. If not now, it may not be there next year," he added.
Other audience members also voiced their comments during the 30-minute discussion.
Mark Shanks, owner of Monical's Pizza, said that Shelbyville would benefit from the tax revenue brought into town by visitors to local events at the Chautauqua. He cited the increase in business throughout town during the Scarecrow Daze earlier this month
"Using the building would bring more people into town, resulting in more activity for businesses." Shanks said.
"We hope you don't think the city is going to back away completely from this," Johnson said. "Everything that's been done at the park has been a cooperative effort with the city and other organizations - the pool, the softball field, the Sunken Garden and the athletic building."
Gray noted that the business plan for the Chautauqua, which includes usage to raise funds to maintain the building, will be presented to the council in December.
"It can be money for the city if it is repaired, usable, and properly managed," Gray said.
Commissioner Gib Smart said he was not sure the people of Shelbyville want to save the building.
"You (Chautauqua committee) have had five years and have raised $150,000. I'm not sure the community supports what you're trying to do," Smart said.
"At some point the city council is going to have to decide whether you are going to invest any money in that building or not because it's awful hard to raise the kind of money that it's going to take to do the repairs," Gray said.
"I know you've got money available and I know you don't want to spend it because of what might happen here and there. But this is an important piece of property for the city. I think you need to make some kind of plans or commitment soon."
In other action, the Council approved the extension of a bond agreement with Shelby Memorial Hospital.
"It's like refinancing. You have to do the paperwork again," said city attorney Jack Kiley.
The Council also approved city clerk Carrie Jones to sign the agreement as both city clerk and acting city treasurer.
The ordinance allowing commercial use of the brush disposal area of the city dump was also approved. Fees will be set for commercial users at the beginning of the year.

Significance and Use
This test method assigns an empirical value to the relative amount, fineness, and character of claylike material present in the test specimen.
A minimum sand equivalent value may be specified to limit the permissible quantity of claylike fines in an aggregate.
This test method provides a rapid field method for determining changes in the quality of aggregates during production or placement.
Note 2—The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependant upon the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and the maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D 3666
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is intended to serve as a rapid field-correlation test. The purpose of this test method is to indicate, under standard conditions, the relative proportions of clay-like or plastic fines and dust in granular soils and fine aggregates that pass the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. The term "sand equivalent" expresses the concept that most granular soils and fine aggregates are mixtures of desirable coarse particles, sand, and generally undesirable clay or plastic fines and dust.
Note 1—Some agencies perform the test on material with a top size smaller than the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. This is done to avoid trapping the clay-like or plastic fines and dust below flaky shaped 4.75 to 2.36 mm (No. 4 to 8) sized particles. Testing smaller top sized material may lower the numerical results of the test.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.2.1 Regarding sieves, per Specification E 11
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Why Is Texas Deregulated And How It Benefits Consumers?
For quite some time, there has been deregulation for http://www.electricitycompaniestexas.com/. In 1999, deregulations were passed, but it wasn't until 2002 that these regulations went into effect. Many Texas have absolutely no idea how deregulation actually works.
However, most people don't keep up with what is going on in the energy market. The average Texan receives their energy bill and pays it; that is why most Texans don't know about deregulations.
What Is Energy Regulation?
When it was regulated, the government controlled the entire Texas energy market, and it had the final say in how electricity could be priced, distributed, transmitted and generated. At the time, there was a single company that handled all of the electricity needs in Texas.
Put simply, there was only one company that could, by law, sell, distribute, transmit and generate electrical power. The fact that only one company was involved created a monopoly. If there is anything to learn from the Monopoly board game, it's that one person or company's monopoly is not good news for other players.
The purpose of the deregulation legislation was to eliminate the current electric monopolies. Lawmakers hoped deregulation would cause many electric companies to sprout up and compete, and the end result would be cheaper electricity for Texans.
Although approximately 25 percent of the Texan electricity market is still regulated, the bulk of the market is deregulated.
How Energy Deregulation Benefits the Consumer
Many Texans want to know how they benefit from deregulation. One of the greatest benefits of deregulation is cheaper electricity. Since there are many providers competing for business, the price of energy drops, and Texan consumers are able to pay less money for electricity.
The deregulation of the energy market has also made it easier for Texans to find alternative energy companies. In Texas, it's now much easier to find affordable green energy. Another benefit of deregulation is better customer service. In a regulated electricity market, consumers only have one provider. When a single provider knows that all consumers must come to them for electricity, they don't have any incentives to provide quality customer service. However, a deregulated market opens the door for many providers, so each provider is fighting for business and will provide better customer support.
The deregulation of the Texas electricity market also brought with it many loyalty programs and promotions. To garner more business from consumers, electric companies in a deregulated market offer various incentives. Many companies offer gift cards to entice consumers. Many companies allow consumers to enroll in loyalty programs, which might pay cash back on future bills. Another benefit of deregulation is quick turnaround and zer4o interruption. Put simply, consumers can expect a seamless transition from one company to another. Overall, the deregulation in Texas was to help consumers, and even today, it's still very beneficial to Texan consumers.

My assertion is that the geological feature on the surface of the Earth known as "The Ring of Fire" was caused by the same impact event that created the Moon.
The evidence for this idea is the following:
1. The circular shape of this feature implies it may have been formed by the collision of two spherical objects
2. The size of this circular feature implies the colliding object must have been so big it could only be the collision that also formed the Moon.
3. The strength of this impact was so great that it dented the mantle of the Earth, allowing crust features like the plates to slide around above it while maintaining the circular impact remnant.

Had the Czech Pilsner at the G & B in Bolingbrook, IL last evening. The color was a clear golden with white head that laced slightly. The aroma was common of Czech Pilsners grain, hops, etc. The taste was powering with grain and hops....very smooth. The grain and malt was balanced nicely with hops and the beer came off the pallet clean. Overall not to bad...the mouthfeel was smooth and easy. good session beer

4.28/5 rDev +26.3%
Appearance This one came out a beautiful, fluffy-looking light yellow in color and was just gorgeous. It had a full, fluffy head as well that showed great retention and left tons of lacing on the inside of my glass.
Smell The aroma here was soft in nature with the typical hop notes of the style. There is what seems to be the traditional GB whiney character as well. Overall, the nose was delicate and very inviting.
Taste This is a very complex Pils. The beer is soft on the pallet but sharp, if that makes any sense. The traditional Czech Pils flavors are all present and accounted for. This is as good as it gets in the United States.
Mouthfeel This ale was medium-bodied but fluffy. The carbonation was mild but seemed to expand in the mouth producing that much-desired puffy cheek feeling. I thought that the mouthfeel was this Pils strong point.
Drinkability IMO, theres no greater session beer than a good Pilsner, and this one fit the bill. This was hands down the best American effort at this tremendously difficult style.
Comments I have only rated one American effort at the Czech Pilsner higher than 3.0 overall (3.1) until now. Dont dismiss this one out-of-hand. Take it from a guy who has sucked down many a good European Pils this is the real deal.

3.14/5 rDev -7.4%
A - Pours a light golden/copper color with finger thick head. Not much lacing.
S - Hop and malt scent. Pretty pungent.
T - Light hop bitterness with malt on the finish, also hints of citrus. Slightly bitter aftertaste.
M - Feels light in the mouth. Not too much carbonation, goes down easy.
O - Not a big pilsner drinker but I didn't mind this one. I don't have much to compare it to, but I wouldn't mind drinking it again. I probably wouldn't pick up a six pack of it, though. If you try it don't expect a world class beer, but its nothing bad.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #42 (Jul 2010):
Out comes a beautiful-looking Pilsner with a big head and a crystal-clear golden hue. Herbal, floral and spicy hops aroma meets the dried hay-like malt. The fluffy and crisp light-to-medium body contains delicate hopping with a long, drawn out floral flavor. The maltiness packs a lot of flavor with bread and grassy tones. The hop bit- terness shows some sharpness and spice to balance this brew. An excellent go at the style with a bit more body and less crispness than expected. Still so very drinkable.

Probably my favorite offering from the Virginia Beach Gordon Biersch, solid white head atop my glass of bright golden slight hazed czech style pils. Nose was packed ull of Saaz and herbal grassy lemon zest notes. Biscuit malts with subtle sweetness coming through. Flavors was all around solid not the best but well made and easy to consume, enought bitterness with the Saaz flowing the herbal hops and lemongras blend is great with the mild biscuit layers of sweetness I could drink this in session no problem, very smooth balanced brew that makes you appreciate a good lager. Mouthfeel is sturdy carbonatino but not overdone naturally produced and served from the serving tanks. Drinkability would have been more than a few half liters but I was able to make it back to the hotel room to watch the Penns and Red Wings battle it out with an amazing back and forth Penguins victory while drinking Sierra Nevada Summer another tasty pils.

2.98/5 rDev -12.1%
On-tap at the brewery.
Pours a clear gold color with a one-finger bright white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of light pilsner malts with hints of grassy and herbal hops. As it warms substantial amounts of diacetyl waft out.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Straight off the tap it's not bad with pilsner malt backed by light noble hop flavors, but as it warms it becomes too buttery for my liking. Ending is mildly bitter.
Mouthfeel is good. It has a decent thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is just not that good. I didn't finish the glass and wouldn't order another.
Overall I hope this was just a bad batch but chances are I won't be visiting again anytime soon to see for myself.

(Served in a wide-mouthed pint glass)
A- This beer has a warm but very light copper-yellow hue that is crystal clear with a good carbonation of big bubbles racing through it. There is a thin sticky snow-white head that last for a few sips and then is gone.
S- This beer has a very clean nose with some hint of sulfury hop bitterness coming through when the beer warms. There is a soft tap water note or corn hint but it is very light.
T- The big sulfury taste blends into a nice Kolsh sweetness then a dry pale malt comes through. There is a big dandelion hops bitterness at the finish with some bitterness lingering after each sip.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a dry finish.
D- The nice subtle Kolsh flavors of sweet sulfur like licorice hints are overpowered by bitterness and start masking all the other flavors.

3.63/5 rDev +7.1%
A small white head settles into a thin lacing above a clear golden copper colored beer with decent carbonation.
Light caramel malts, with light spices, some very light apple cider, with a slight hops aroma.
Light spices, some floral hops with light caramel malt taste that seems very well balanced between those and other hints of tastes trying to come through.
A lighter dryish aftertaste that seems to stick around a while on this light bodied beer.
With it's taste that seems to be well balanced with nothing really taking over, I kind of enjoyed this beer that is well outside my dark beers and IPA's taste.

A- Golden acorn brown with a moderate size foamy white head and solid lacing.
S- Earthy hops & fresh grainy malt although light and tough to pull out.
T- Sweet carmelized malt with dry earthy hops and a touch of honey.
M- Sweet grainy malt up front with a crisp dry hop body and end.

3.95/5 rDev +16.5%
Appearance - Pours a semi-clear golden yellow with a white 2 finger head. Decent retention, but the resulting lace is spotty though everpresent.
Smell - Picking up faint aromas of caramel, grain and some floral or grassy hops.
Taste - Starts with some light bread and caramel malts, then a little grain and some floral hops come into play. Aftertaste turns to a grassy bitterness which fades steadily.
Mouthfeel - Light to medium body. goes down like silky butter. Carbonation is a tad lacking, but the buttery smoothness more than makes up for it.
Overall - For a pilsner, this is damn good. Light enough to drink on a hot summer day, but full and flavorful enough to satisfy an ale aficionado such as myself.

Enjoyed on tap at the Washington, DC location. Saaz hop bitterness, not quite, near metallic. Medium yellow, a caesar crown of white and lace. Medium mouthfeel. Off bitterness that makes it not all that drinkable.Under-average beer, but hey you need a pilsner in a standard lineup.

On tap at the Gordon Biersch in the RDU airport.
Pours a yellowish gold with a small, soft white head that has good retention. The nose is wheaty and faintly grassy. The flavor is straw-like and grassy up front with a rather intense, earthy hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp. There is a moderate amount of carbonation and an overall light body.
This is a rather average pilsner. Nothing to really set it apart from the crowd. Highly drinkable and unoffensive.

2.65/5 rDev -21.8%
Appearance: Pale yellow. Not much foam or head retention.
Smell: Some hops, but not much. A bit of a sour smell as well. Not terribly impressed, but it's not awful.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Average overall. Some mellow hops and decent carbonation. A bit of a watery feel.
Drinkability: Nothing offensive.
Overall: Comes across very similar to Golden Export at first, but Czech Lager is definitely not as good.

This is a Bohemian-style Pilsner with a nice golden hue to it. It came across as medium bodied, and it was accented with a spicy hop character. Apparently the hops are imported from the Czech Republic. Usually I'm not a big fan of Czech hops, but this beer came across as pretty decent. It is certainly worth trying.

Czech Style Pilsner is very clear and pours a very pale straw color. It's alright, but far from a stunner. It's topped with a generous foamy white head that reaches a couple of fingers in depth. It held on for a few, but not long. Lacing was sticky and relatively light. Above average, but not by much.
The nose is a little limited in range, but is punchier than I expected. It's primarily grainy and a little grassy. Hops are distinct and seem prominent. They smell mostly floral and give it strong earthy characteristics. Smells like pale malt anchors it down pretty well. I'm not picking up any sweet notes here. It's not going to win any awards for depth, but it smells pretty good and is consistent with the style. Not bad.
The flavor's very consistent with the nose and the style. It's earthy, grassy, and a little grainy. Hops do their job nicely and add a little bitterness and quite a bit of earthy character. Pale malts give it a nice base and a good deal of balance, though it remains a little buzzy and bitter. The hops seem to take on a spicy character toward the end. I like that aspect. It's effective and really brings it in line with the style nicely. There's no hint of alcohol here. Finishes a little bitter and spicy. Again, it doesn't have a deep flavor, but it's well done for the style. I like it pretty well.
The body feels light and thin. Carbonation seems a tad light for a pilsner. It certainly has a spicy finish, but it doesn't feel crisp. I like that in Pilsners. It's noticeably missing here. Far from bad though. Drinkability is above average. This is an easy drinking beer with a pretty good flavor. I could handle a couple of these. I'd probably move on to something with a little more flavor before too long, but it's not bad.
Czech Style Pilsner's a pretty decent beer from Gordon Biersch. I'm often disappointed in their beer, but this one isn't bad at all. It's a more than decent Czech Pilsner that doesn't deviate from the usual bells and whistles of the style. It's honestly a bit better than I expected. Obviously, I had pretty low expectations. Ultimately, it lacks a little in the depth department, but that's somewhat typical for the style. Not a bad beer. Worth checking out if you run across it.

This was at one time the leftmost route on Oceanic Wall, but there is now at least one other route further left. In the Rossiter guide it says, "To be bolted", so apparently at the time the guidebook was written this climb had not been bolted or lead.
Approximately 10 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor with rings. Bring a few extra draws, since I didn't count the bolts.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Hymn Book won the $500,000 Grade 1 Donn Handicap on Saturday, holding off a field that also included Preakness winner Shackleford and Belmont champion Rule On Ice.
Hymn Book ran 1 1-8 miles in 1:49.16 and paid $1, $7.80, and $5.60. Mission Impazible was second and returned $9.20 and $5.80. Redemeemed was third, paying, $4.60.
Trickmeister set the pace followed by Shackleford with Hymn Book running well behind for most of the race. The 6-year-old made a push around the far turn racing five wide and then finished strong down the stretch edging Mission Impazible by a nose at the finish.
"It worked out perfect," Hymn Book jockey John Velazquez said. "He broke well enough to save some ground into the first turn and I was able to kind of give up a little bit at the quarter pole. When I pulled him out he came running. He put up a good fight down the stretch."
Trickmeister and Shackleford both faded down the stretch finishing sixth and seventh. Rule On Ice was never a factor and finished eighth.
"This was a good field," Hymn Book trainer Shug McGaughey said. "We were concerned about the post position (10 of 11) and he kind of got caught out there on the first turn, but then got a good position down the backstretch. Johnny has always had a lot of confidence in him. He trained great for this race."
It was a surprise to see Shackleford fade the way he did considering past strong performances, but there was not an immediate reason for his sub-par race.
"He came back fine," Shackleford trainer Dale Romans said. "That's all I know right now."
In other graded stakes at Gulfstream on Saturday, Thunder Moccasin ($2.40 to win), won the Grade 2, $150,000 Hutcheson for 3-year olds; Snow Top Mountain ($11) won the Grade 3, $150,00 Suwannee River for older fillies and mares; and Get Stormy ($7.20) won the Grade 1, $300,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap.

Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — Stress fractures of the foot are becoming more common in runners, especially first-time marathoners, according to Bassett podiatric surgeon Michael Bahlatzis.
The growing popularity of marathons among beginning runners has contributed to the increase in repetitive stress injuries, including stress fractures of the foot, seen by Bahlatzis, a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Often, first-time marathoners enter a race with little or improper long-distance training. The lack of experience coupled with the repetitive impact placed on the feet during the run can produce enough stress to cause hairline breaks in the bones of the foot.
"Runners who increase their mileage too quickly or change to a more intense phase of training may be more susceptible to a stress fracture due to the increased force placed on the bones," said Bahlatzis in a media release. "A general rule of thumb for runners is to increase the mileage by no more than 10 percent each week. Runners who are training also need to have adequate rest time in between runs to help decrease the risk of a fracture."
Runners at all levels of experience are also at higher risk for stress fractures if they wear improper shoes while running or training, suffer from flatfoot or other foot deformities, or have osteoporosis. Signs of a stress fracture can include pain, swelling, redness and possibly bruising of the area.
"Stress fractures can occur anywhere in the foot and can eventually lead to a complete break of the bone if left untreated," Bahlatzis said in the release. "Early diagnosis and treatment are important to ensure proper healing."
If a break is suspected, runners are advised to immediately follow the RICE protocol — Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. If pain and swelling last longer than a few days, an appointment for an X-ray and diagnosis is in order. In most cases, treatment includes rest and immobilization with casting of the foot. Surgery may be required in certain instances to repair and stabilize a stress fracture that has progressed into a full fracture.
Runners can take action to prevent repetitive stress injuries in their feet by wearing supportive athletic shoes and slowly building up their activity levels according to their abilities.
"If a runner suffers from abnormal mechanics in the foot, such as over-pronation or hypermobility, custom orthotics can also be helpful to prevent these injuries," Bahlatzis said in the release.
Bahlatzis sees patients at Bassett Medical Center, Herkimer Health Center and Oneonta Specialty Services.

- Not what it used to behilbeeDined on 8/23/2014Came to Benihana's to celebrate my husbands birthday. We've had a great experiences there in the past, but this past time was really a bummer. A few table mates were "sticks in the mud" and our chef was rather boring. Ordered a mai tai from the bar and it was very watered down. We also made reservations and arrived early, but still had to wait about half an hour past our reservation time to be seated.Special Features:

- very disappointedjasperDined on 8/18/2014I was very disappointed with our recent visit, specifically the food had no taste whatsoever. Even the sauces were extremely bland. Most of my party felt the same way. For the prices you charge, we could have gone anywhere else and gotten better food.
- Wonderful dinner.BernieDined on 8/18/2014Our Chef was Superior! Food was excellent. Would definitely return. Parking was readily available and no parking fee. I will recommend to family and friends.Special Features:
- Good food but slow serviceNot2HappyDined on 8/17/2014We come to Benihana often for teppanyaki. This last visit we had slow service. It took 15 mins to get seated even with a reservation, another 15 mins to get someone to take our drink order, another 15 to get the drinks. The chef finally made an appearance an hour into our wait but didn't have it together. Overall, it took 3 hours for the whole thing. No apologies for being late or slow. A bit disappointed.Special Features:
- EnzoSDined on 8/17/2014Prices are high for what the food actually is. Our server barely stopped by to check on drinks, etc. My Arnold Palmer was empty for half of our dining experience. We asked for our kids food at the beginning of our dinner, it didn't show up until after we were almost done with our food. One Mexican cook was going back and forth gossiping with the other cooks, totally unprofessional. The guy didn't have a clue I actually understood what they were talking about. Won't go back again. Felt like I was in WalmartSpecial Features:
- Great placeShelby7Dined on 8/13/2014Making reservations was super easy and I love how you can make them online. The wait was not bad at all and our chef was very funny and lively. The waiters are always around when you need them and the service was great. It was a little noisy but I definitely recommend eating here if your celebrating something or just for a nice night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Birthday!!!SandraDined on 8/13/2014We had 5 in our party, one of them was 6 years old, who had never seen the magic of Benihana Grill Chef....she was mesmerized. Miguel-San, as he called himself, made sure he incorporated "kid friendly chef magic", making a Mickey Mouse out of the fried rice and a train from sliced onion and zucchini. He was fantastic. We all ordered a different plate, and everyone was very pleased with their choice. The Benihana Mojito's weren't bad either. I would recommend the Grill dining for any special occasion!Special Features:
- jamgoodDined on 8/12/2014Especially good chef tonight at the Teppan Grill. Lovely that they give gift certificates for birthday dinners.Special Features:
- Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014it had been years since I last dined here. This type of eating, for me, is for special occasions. We celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday here. It was loud (but that is somewhat expected.) The overall cleanliness of the dining area we were in (around the grills) could have been better. We found lemon slices on the floor, rice on the floor and other food items in addition to the carpet being slippery (which would indicate spills). Further, the overhead vents were not very efficient in directing the smoke from the cooking of our food upwards; I came home smelling of food as a result. The food is incomparable to any other place we've ever eaten however.Special Features:
- Great First Time.foodgirl13Dined on 8/9/2014We had never eaten here before. It was an awesome experience. Both our server and chef were friendly and good at what they did. The "floor show" by the chef was great. He interacted with all of us at the table. The food was so good. We all enjoyed everything we ate. A return visit will be happening in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodOpentableDined on 8/8/2014This was my families first time at a Benihana. We really enjoyed our chef and the entertainment he brought yo the table! The only negative thing I can say is we were given the wrong check. So instead of $109 being due it was only $60 due. The $60 was a young group of 3that didn't seem to speak much English at all! Fortunately we were honest and traded checks...my advice to all that visit an open table would be check your receipt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a date !!!FinestDined on 8/3/2014Great experience on the grill table with my friend !!!Special Features:
- greatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014The only thing we had a problem with was a lady was drunk and using profanity in front of my kids we said something to our chef and he had the manager handle it. The restaurant was really great in the way they handled itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow and LoudTeddDined on 7/30/2014We were disappointed with the promptness of service once we were seated. We were served our soup and salad and then waited. At that point, another group was seated nearby. They had their dinner and were on dessert while our entrees were just being prepared. As always, the noise level was very high!! In order to carry on a conversation with anyone in your group you need to almost shout. That just adds to the noise level. It is not a place for a quiet, relaxing dinner.Special Features:
- GreatVIPDined on 7/30/2014Service was off. Upselling of drinks and appetizers is annoying.
- Last to leave the restaurantStillInLoveDined on 7/29/2014I took my date and we talked most of the time. We talked so much that the hosts bagged our food and we sat there until they closed. No on rushed us out or bothered us. I think they respected a couple who lost track of time so engulfed in each other. Its the small things like that that are appreciated. Thanks Benihana for making my date an awesome one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Benihana experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/29/2014Absolutely love this place ! Celebrated my birthday here and I couldn't be happier with the service ! Definitely recommending this spot to everyone I know .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sad to see they are not the samedisappointedDined on 7/28/2014I used to LOVE Benihana!customer service has declined so much,we had to wait over 30min to be seated WHEN WE HAD A RESERVATION! My husband asked what was going on, they said we are cleaning your table.My brother in law asked again 10 min later, they said we are about to sit you.My sister went & asked, they apologized & asked us to go ahead & move where the hostess will see us. 20 min later the manager talking to the hostess & complained about the wait. Then we realized they had marked us as already seated. She apologized & told me she would treat us with an appetizer & 20% discount. Fortunately one lady sat with us at the table & told us about the 20% discount on her bill. we asked for the discount and they gave it to us too ONLY when asked
- Great time!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/28/2014The chef put on a great show. I had the filet mignon, and my wife had the Salmon. It is always fun watching the chef prepare the meal in front of you. Even on a monday night though, we needed reservations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A disappointmentTheTrueFatKidDined on 7/27/2014Was seated right away with no problem. The only issue was being asked after a minute of being there what we wanted to eat and we haven't even ordered drinks or appetizers yet. With an extensive menu, you should at least allow your guests five minutes to look at the menus. We ended up paying for the beer that I ordered and left before the chef even showed up.

The chefs always put on an amazing show and the chef we had this time, David, was phenomenal! Definitely a people-person. The food is always high quality. There's nothing worse than mediocre food at a restaurant, but that's never a worry here. It is expensive, but great for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Post subject: HAL/DBUS how it affects you
HAL is a new background program in Linux (or daemon as geeks call them). It depends also on a slightly older but still fairly new one called DBUS. What do they do? This is all to do with mounting your storage devices. And it works with KDE3.4 out of the box.
If you have upgraded to KDE3.4, there is a list of sidebar modules in Konqueror File Manager on the left. The one consisting of three tiny hexagons, orange, blue and green, is called "devices:/". By an oversight, this has been left in but doesn't work anymore. You can delete it, and put a new one in called "media:/". This is done by right-clicking below the last module, and selecting Add New ... > Folder. You should then set the name to Media, the url to media:/ and the icon to "kwikdisk". If you select media:/, you will see a graphical representation of all your hard drives. If HAL/DBUS are running, plug in a CD and it will mount, and it will be added to the icons. Better still, plug in a USB storage device. This will mount and appear also. But you can right-click on it, and select "Remove Safely". This will unmount it properly so that any data you wrote to it is written behind so you can now pull it out.
Once that's all working, you can hop over to KDE Control Centre > Desktop (Look and Feel in some distros) > Behaviour > Device Icons tab. You should enable all the devices you have, EXCEPT hard discs. Both mounted and unmounted. Now when you plug in your USB card, or put a CD in the drive, the icon will appear. The name under the icon defaults to the volume label of the drive, and if there isn't one, its size! Not helpful. By selecting it you can then press F2 to change it. Your change will be saved for next time, but each user (including root) has to do this separately. With this set up, plug in your USB key, after a pause, a mounted icon appears on the desktop. Right click it and select "Remove Safely", the icon changes to the unmounted version. Finally, pull it out, the icon disappears. Perfect!
Anyway, I have upgraded the kernel and KDE/HAL/DBUS via synaptic in PCLinuxOS and this works fine. This will be standard in the next release (0.9) which will be on the mirrors any time soon.
In Gentoo, for some reason, the "Remove Safely" bit did not work. So I added pmount. When you add pmount to hal and dbus, it works differently. When you plug an item in, an unmounted icon pops up. You can then mount it and unmount it to your hearts content before pulling it. The only proviso is that this only works for devices NOT in /etc/fstab.
Basically when you use HAL/DBUS, mount points are created automatically at /media/, and anyone can unmount them. With PMOUNT, mount points are prepared but not mounted. Provided there is no reference in fstab, anyone can mount, and the same person can unmount. If there is a reference in fstab, pmount just runs the normal mount command, so the default properties defined there will prevail.
All in all this is very exciting. It puts supermount, submount and autofs in the shade somewhat. I always had a feeling of disaster waiting to happen with supermount, especially when you could not unmount a writeable device. By the way, for Gnome users, there is a program called Gnome Volume Manager which uses pmount. So gnome users have to use the pmount method. All in all, Linux is moving ahead preparing for the "ordinary guy's" desktop.
To see HAL/DBUS in action, try downloading the PCLinuxOS live CD version 0.9 when it appears in the next week or so, and give it a spin. It may well be in other distros also, but I don't know which they are.

Post subject: RE: HAL/DBUS how it affects you
You can avoid the problems with supermount and writeable media by adding the sync option to /etc/fstab. As long as you wait for the LED to go out, it is safe to unplug the device.

Post subject: RE: HAL/DBUS how it affects you
I would like to see improvements to the HAL system. My idea is by using UDEV to give every device a unique name, (ie make /dev/usb/cfreader the Name and /dev/sd
the Symlink,) you could allocate an icon symbol and title according to the device node.
Once that is done, every other auto-mounting system will be dust, I think.

I visited this bar in November 2010. It is located in a side street near the Altermarkt. It was a Sunday evening and the only other customers were seated inside the door. Dance music was being played fairly loud and there was a TV on with the sound off showing a basketball game. I can never understand why bars do this type of thing. There were four of us and I tried to go to a table that was as far away as possible from the TV, but the barman was having none of it and informed us that the part of the pub was "closed". So we were forced to sit near the TV at a table covered with graffiti including some fairly lewd art work! We had a couple of beers and left.
This place tries to be "cool", and it may indeed have the best range of beers in Koln, but I would not return to it.

Spent a rowdy night here a few years back drinking beer and singing along with the locals to all the american songs being played. It was a great night, but probably once in a lifetime. The most popular song that night was "Country Road" by John Denver.

Great beers and great service. The ambiance and quality overall leaves something to be desired, and I would have been happier if there was food available (though the bartender did encourage us to go across the street to a rival establishment to acquire fries and then bring them back).
I walked out of the Bier Museum after having had five different beers: Diebels Alt; Kulmbacher EKU 28 Doppelbock; Kulmbacher Reichelbrau Eisbock; Einbecker Urbock; Flensburger Pilsener.
If you live in Koln, I imagine there are better places to go. If you're just visiting, it's not a bad stop to make in order to try a variety of German brews.

Its a fairly cool beer bar.
I actually didnt see the museum. I found this place while wandering in the Altstadt a week or so ago.
When I was there the atmosphere like much like a two floor night club with out dancing. The music downstairs was loud and people were having a ton of fun. Upstairs is a little more relaxed. Tables are everywhere and patrons are encouraged to write their names and when they were there on the tables.
The establishment has a small selection of bottles and 18 beers on tap (as the name of the place so proudly implies). Some taps are world reknown beers while others (I still cant believe I saw this) are extremely mediocre, i.e. ANHEISER-BUSCH BUDWEISER. But they had two Grimbergen taps when I was there so I guess the place can be forgiven.
Service was good. Two waiters take drink orders for the top floor and two or three girls work the taps downstairs. One doesnt have to wait long for a beer or for an open bartender, and this was when the place was full. Menus are written in english, german, and french together.

One of the true pioneers of the software engineering discipline passed away this past October. Watts Humphrey had a truly remarkable career during which he developed or contributed to the Personal Software Process, Team Software Process, and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework, among many other contributions.
Having met Watts from time to time at meetings and workshops, I still find it hard to believe that his energy and sharp insights will be missing from the room at future events. Luckily for us, he left behind many books, technical papers, and other contributions that will continue to speak for him. Many colleagues (including IEEE Software board members and authors) who knew Watts have documented some of their memories below and on our website ( www.computer.org/watts). We invite you to reminisce with them and contribute some of your own. —Forrest Shull, editor in chief

The chairs arrived with the damage mentioned above. The customer service agent was very helpful and offered to ship me a replacement set, if I boxed up and shipped back the chairs myself. Not physically possible.
I am enjoying my chairs. I had company over to see a movie and they said they were very comfortable. The only problem I have with them is 2 screws would not go all the way through. I was able to tighten them, but they stick out. I presume the holes are not property done.
Love them! Would definitely order them all over again.
The chairs are pretty comfy. Easy to put together. I thought they would be more substantial, but good for the price. Good accent chairs that are functional

Fort Walton Beach, Fl. –Tom Hermanson, a consultant of the Florida SBDC at the University of West Florida will speak on the topic of Opportunities in Small Business and Why You Should Not Start One. While building a business from the ground up appeals to the creative nature of entrepreneurs, veterans are often well-suited to acquire an existing business or adopt a proven business model.
Existing businesses are often overlooked due to the complexity of evaluating an ongoing business or obtaining funding. The Florida SBDC at UWF assists in the preparing of business plans and funding proposals for both new and existing businesses. The Federal Reserve predicts 7.7 million businesses will be bought and sold in the next 10 years. Tom Hermanson will identify how demographics of business owners are driving the growth in business transitions and leading to a buyer's market.
The Florida Small Business Development Center is a statewide partnership between higher education and economic development organization dedicated to providing emerging and established business owners with assistance enabling overall growth and increased profitability that contributes to the economic prosperity of the state.

GLENVILLE, N.Y. – An investigation in Glenville has been closed after a misunderstanding led to police being contacted about a woman allegedly stealing a Toys for Tots donation box from a local Walmart.
Police say after reports of the theft aired, the woman contacted Walmart and spoke with management about the incident.
According to police, it appears she had a separate toy donation box in the store, approved by Walmart management, for a charity event not related to Toys for Tots. She picked up the box Monday evening and placed it in her vehicle, and employees who witnessed it thought she was stealing the Toys for Tots donations. Those employees reported the incident to security who then called Glenville Police.
Further investigation by Wal Mart security and an interview conducted by Glenville Police with the woman involved has concluded that no crime was committed and that it appears to have been a miscommunication issue.
Glenville Police have officially closed the case as unfounded.

As a rookie, Ravens WR Torrey Smith hauled in 50 passes for 841 yards and seven touchdowns. Those are good numbers, especially for a first-year wideout, but if you want to poke holes in his Year One résumé, you can.
For all intents and purposes, fantasy owners got 45 catches and 689 yards and four TDs out of him in the regular season; very few owners figure to have had the foresight to have played Smith in his first NFL start, when he torched the Rams for five catches, 152 yards and three scores, and fewer still even had him on the roster. Also, Smith had both less than 50 yards and no TDs in half of his 2011 starts.
Fantasy owners have to weigh whether Smith is just a speedster who will have a huge game here and there, thus making his total numbers look better than his actual fantasy impact. Meaning this: if you can't be sure when Smith's going to have a breakout game, why bother?
However, I like Smith's chances to show improvement this season, and I'm looking for more consistency. Having a full NFL season and offseason to his credit won't hurt. He finished the '11 campaign in good form, catching a TD pass in the AFC title game. He is exceptionally fast, which gives him a touch of extra value in leagues that award points for long TDs.
Adding to Smith's intrigue for me: I expect the Ravens' passing game to be better this season than it was in 2011. QB Joe Flacco, who throws a nice deep ball, has room and capability for growth as a passer, and this is the best group of pass catchers he has ever had. The continued progress of TEs Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta, who each quietly had nice seasons in 2011, would help the offense even more. And don't overlook WR Anquan Boldin, a solid possession threat.
The Ravens' passing game doesn't garner a ton of respect, and it shouldn't until it starts putting up better results, but I'm going to try to get in on the ground floor and take Smith in a league or two. Smith has 1,000-yard potential — and the talent to single-handedly win a game or two for fantasy owners a season.

Nady scheduled for MRI on elbow
Outfielder experiences sharp pain in Yanks' win Tuesday
ST. PETERSBURG -- Xavier Nady has been scheduled for an MRI examination after the Yankees outfielder felt a sharp pain in his right elbow during the seventh inning of Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rays.
Nady said the pain came when he fielded Carlos Pena's single to right field and threw to cutoff man Derek Jeter. One batter later, Pat Burrell lofted a game-tying sacrifice fly to right that Nady had to lob in.
"It wasn't very comfortable to throw," Nady said. "Tonight wasn't a good feeling, but hopefully we'll see how it is tomorrow."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Nady was examined by team physicians at Tropicana Field and will have further testing performed on Wednesday morning in Tampa, Fla.
"We'll just keep our fingers crossed," Girardi said.
Nady bears a scar on the elbow, on which he had Tommy John reconstructive surgery in September 2001. He said that he has experienced some discomfort at times but had not felt anything approaching the pain on Tuesday in some time.
"I'm definitely kind of nervous," Nady said. "I'll be optimistic as much as I can. Obviously I'll have a much better understanding tomorrow. It's just frustrating because it felt good for a while. Hopefully it's just scar tissue breaking up."

TODAY | November 18, 2012
>>> wait until the day after thanksgiving to start your holiday shopping, get set to wind up in the back of the line. the hunt for the best bargains has already started.
>> reporter: on the saturday before black friday, six days early, a few diehards set up camp, tents and all, outside a best buy in ft. myers, florida.
>> hi, merry christmas .
>> reporter: maybe they're just keeping up with the early rush. almost 50% have started their holiday shopping. remember these scenes of stores opening insanely early friday or even thursday at midnight? this year some of the big retailers, toys 'r' us, sears, kmart, and walmart will open at 8:00 p.m . on thanksgiving. just about the time many are sneaking leftovers.
>> i think 8:00 is the perfect time because you're finished with dinner. you can go walk it off and then you go back home.
>> reporter: the stores have a chance to get your dollars before someone else does.
>> the problem is if everybodies to it, all you're really doing is pulling sales forward and making them happen earlier this year on thanksgiving day rather than waiting until the friday.
>> reporter: and remember cyber monday, the online shopping day? well, that's moving up, too. as customers try to dodge the black friday crowds, more are shopping from home or work that day. retailers are making in store specials also available on the web.
>> last year someone was pepper sprayed. people see these headlines and say, well, i'm going to stay home because the online experience is so much better than you can get the same deals.
>> reporter: and for those who love to see and touch before they buy, a number of malls are offering valet parking, package delivery , and some other white glove perks.
>> hi, can i help you?
>> reporter: not everyone loves the full-court press on their pocketbooks. starting earlier and earlier each holiday season .
>> there should be some down time over the holidays.
>> there's plenty of time to get all the presents purchased between thanksgiving and christmas.
>> reporter: the black friday creep into thursday. has thanksgiving become for some just another day at the register? janet shamlian , nbc news, houston.
>> no. we were talking. online shopping more these days.
>> what impresses me, they already know what they want which i think is impressive.
>> i haven't seen made a list. i have one present bought. one.
>> thank you. that was nice of to you think of me. we've only been working together a short time.
>> i knew immediately what you needed and i wanted to make sure they didn't sell out.
>> so sweet.

If you're wondering how [Jon] Heyman got wind of the [Varitek signing] before any of the Boston beat writers or columnists, be aware that he had Mark Teixeira going to the Yankees before anyone else and, according to his biography, also "broke the story of Barry Bonds going to the Giants in 1992...Alex Rodriguez going to the Yankees in 2004, A-Rod opting out of his $252-million contract in 2007 and Manny Ramirez going to the Dodgers in 2008." Varitek. Teixeira. Manny. A-Rod 2x. Bonds, vintage 1992. Do you notice anything in common? Yes, all of these players are or were represented by Boras at the time of their signings. It is plainly obvious that Heyman, known among fellow writers as scottboras.com, is getting fed such stories by Scott himself, which is fine and dandy except there is more going on here than meets the eye.

Failure to clear river fuels fear of flooding
12:00pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News
EVERY time the rain pours and flood warnings flash up, residents of Cassington Mill hold their breath.
Neighbours of the Evenlode river in West Oxfordshire say the levels are getting higher, and they fear for the safety of their homes.
Roy Partridge, an 87-year-old former fitter, lives at the Mill House, and claims their situation is the result of years of inaction on the part of the Environment Agency.
He said: "We will have been here 53 years in June, and when we first came here it was the responsibility of the Thames Conservancy, but now the Environment Agency will not dredge the river.
"Our back mill pond is over half full of rubbish, with willow trees a foot in diameter growing out of it."
He said landowners nearby have been told it was their responsibility to dredge the river as it runs through their land, but said it should not be their responsibility.
He said: "Why should the riverbank owners pay to put the rivers right, after successive organisations have let them get into such a mess?"
Barry Russell, from the Environment Agency, said the organisation prioritised large-scale flood alleviation schemes, like the one in Banbury, over costly dredging.
He said: "Undertaking dredging on a long-term basis is a very expensive operation to do.
"In years gone by the budget and manpower we had was very different, and we didn't have the same understanding of flood risks."
Mr Russell said the EA had carried out an investigation across the UK, including at three sites in Oxfordshire, which revealed only short-term benefits of dredging.
He said: "It's far more cost-effective for us to invest in physical assets."
He added that Cassington wasn't near the top of the EA's priority list for flood-prone areas.
In Banbury, residents breathed a sigh of relief after multi-million-pound flood defences protected their homes after heavy rainfall in December.
The £14m project was built in order to protect around 500 homes after they were badly flooded in the summer of 2007.

It matters not how much is cleared during the flooding as more will be washed down to replace what's moved it HAS to be cleared when there is no flooding and kept clear to help prevent flooding. Common sense, something the Environment Agency and Councils clearly lack.

Amazing, I said this on here some time ago and was shot down in a blaze of fire by people screaming what a wonderful job was being done DURING the flooding of clearing culverts, weirs etc.
