But even here the battle for land continues. The poor are loosing their grip on the scattered bits of land which they took in defiance of apartheid more than twenty years ago. The state is, again, sending in bulldozers and men with guns to move the poor from central shack settlements to peripheral townships. In every relocation many are simply left homeless. It is very difficult to resist the armed force of the state but people do what they can. Officials are often stoned. In principle the courts should provide relief from evictions that are not just illegal but are in fact criminal acts under South African law. There have been notable successes but it is often difficult to get pro bono legal support, legal processes are slow and the evictions continue.
In the Harry Gwala settlement the poorest women are on their hands and knees searching for bits of coal to bake into lumps of clay to keep the braziers burning. S'bu Zikode from Abahlali baseMjondolo in
Here in Harry Gwala forced removals started in 2004. That was also the year in which the Landless People's Movement declared a boycott of the local government elections and were subject to severe repression, including the police torture of some activists. In August of the following year 700 residents marched on the Mayor demanding an end to forced removals and the immediate provision of water, electricity and toilets. Provincial Housing Minister Nomvula Mokonyane declared that the evictions "marked another milestone for housing delivery" and explained that "We are doing all this because we are a caring government and want to give you back your dignity". The Municipality's website responded to the march by noting that "Although there was an initial reluctance on the part of the Harry Gwala residents to move, the metro and the [private housing] company met them to work through any objections and give them reasons why such a move would be worth their while." But in May 2006, when the Municipality tried to move ahead with the forced removals in earnest, it became clear that residents were determined to hold their ground. The Johannesburg Star reported that "police fired rubber bullets and bulldozed their way into the Harry Gwala informal settlement near Wattville after residents barricaded themselves in with burning tyres. Shots rang out and people scattered in all directions as metro police fired at them. Twelve people were injured and were taken to hospitals in the area."
The poor start to evict each other
In Harry Gwala the evictions are remembered as a war. Now the settlement is recovering from a different kind of eviction, a different kind of war. It is to this that the discussion soon turns. The Freedom Charter adopted in
In the second week the pogrom spread to the city centre and there were clashes at the

Somalis as 'just ordinary crime'.
Some of the mobs were singing Jacob Zuma's campaign song, Bring My Machine Gun. Some came out of shack settlements and migrant worker hostels linked to Inkatha. Some were just drunk young men. The most widely reported tests used to determine indigenity, such as seeing if people know the formal and slightly archaic Zulu word for elbow, were taken straight from the tactics that the police have used for years. The mob definition of foreigner always centred on foreign born Africans but in some instances Pakistanis and South Africans of minority ethnicities, especially
After two weeks 62 people were dead, a third of them South African citizens, and figures for the number of people displaced ranged from 80 000 to 100 000. Some had fled the country and others were sheltering in churches, at police stations and in refugee camps. Conditions in the camps are often grim. Human rights organisations have issued strenuous condemnations and there have already been threats of collective suicide, clashes with the police and demands for the United Nations to take over management of the camps from the South African state.
The end of Mbeki's African Renaissance
Thabo Mbeki's Presidency was, in the spirit of Pan-Africanism, animated by a vision of an African Renaissance that would finally redeem the world historical promise of the Haitian Revolution. On the first day of 2004 he resisted considerable international pressure and stood with Jean Bertrand-Aristide in
Mbeki, the argument went, was mindful of Fanon's critique of post-colonial bourgeoisies incapable of doing much more than fronting for Western business and instead aimed to create an innovative and decisive African elite that, secured by the technocratic management of the poor at home, could assume its rightful place on the global stage.
Most of the slaves that made the Haitian Revolution were born in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their revolution offered citizenship, black citizenship, to everyone who fought in it, including Polish and German mercenaries who deserted their posts to join it. Citizenship became a political question rather than a matter of indigeneity or ethnicity. But for those two weeks in May it wasn't safe to be Congolese in many of the poor neighbourhoods in South African cities. There are still places where Aristide, whose excellent but French accented Zulu could easily mark him as Congolese or Rwandese, would be unwise to tread without security.
State xenophobia
Contrary to much of the discussion in the media this state of affairs is not new. Indeed a month before the recent attacks 30 shacks were burnt and 100 people displaced from the Diepsloot settlement in
The extreme hostility with which the post-apartheid state has responded to African migrants is well documented in numerous human rights and academic reports. Migrants to South Africa confront a notoriously ungenerous policy regime that is compounded by a bureaucracy and police force that are both systemically corrupt and prone to extorting money from migrants, documented or not, on the threat of arrest and deportation. There are many cases where South Africans have also been arrested and deported to countries they have never previously visited because they could not speak Zulu well, didn't have the 'right' inoculation marks or were 'too black.' If the police suspect that someone may be an 'illegal immigrant' and she doesn't have papers on her she will be detained in a holding cell and then sent to a repatriation centre to await deportation. If she is documented but doesn't have papers on her she may still end up being deported as it is people picked on suspicion of being illegal that have to prove their legal right to be in the country. There is no burden of proof on the state. There is a right to one free phone call from the police holding cells and another from the repatriation centres but that right is routinely denied. Sometimes people whose presence in
The Lindela Repatriation Centre looms with a particular malevolence in the fears of migrants. Set in an old mining compound on the outskirts of
The state has not been alone in this. On radio talk shows, in newspapers and university lecture theatres it quickly becomes clear that the fears and stereotypes that white people projected onto black people under apartheid are now often projected, unapologetically, onto the poor in general and shack dwellers and migrants in particular. Things that can no longer be publicly said about black people can still be said about the poor, with and without papers. It is not unusual for middle class black people to take this up with enthusiasm. It's been an open season for a long time. The fear and hostility of the old order have been redirected rather than overcome in the new order.
Neocosmos's book
The most important attempt to theorise xenophobia in South African is a book by Michael Neocosmos called From 'Foreign Natives' to 'Native Foreigners': Explaining Xenophobia in Post-Apartheid South Africa. The book was published by Codesria in
Neocosmos rejects fashionable attempts to explain xenophobia in terms of postmodernity and globalisation and notes that it was in 1961 that Frantz Fanon described the kind of situation where "foreigners are called on to leave; their shops are burned, their street stalls are wrecked." For Neocosmos, following Fanon and the work of the Ugandan scholar Mahmood Mamdani, the essence of the problem is in the structure of the post-colonial state.
Neocosmos, following Ernest Wamba-dia-Wamba in the
His book gives a history of how apartheid denied South African citizenship to Africans and attempted, via the
For Neocosmos the radicalisation and democratisation of the popular struggles against apartheid in the second half of the 1980s, a process that in his analysis was forced on the leadership from below, created a new nation in struggle. He argues that the demobilisation and corporatisation of that politics, a process that began in 1989 and was more or less concluded by 1993, enabled a return to the exclusive power of the state to define citizenship.
In his view this was the worm that hid in the rose of the new democracy from the beginning. He points to the distinction in the constitution between citizens and persons and notes the consequent logic in frank statements by the ANC that it "can't extend human rights to non-citizens." But he is not replacing economism with legalism. He also argues that a considerable part of the motivation for the immediate commitment to the idea of 'fortress South Africa' was driven by an assumption that 'hordes of foreigners' would threaten South Africa's aspiration to build a powerful modern state that could take its 'rightful place on the international stage'. The continuities with apartheid thinking about
He acknowledges the work done by NGOs to catalogue the rights abuses suffered by migrants at the hand of the
While he accepts the symptomatic observations of the human rights NGOs he rejects their diagnosis of the cause of those symptoms and their prescription for a remedy. In his view their extensive and detailed cataloguing of state and popular xenophobia has been undertaken in order to ensure that migrants are able to access their human rights, something which is "seen as the responsibility of the state under pressure from those same NGOs". Human rights discourse is orientated around appeals to the state, not a popular democratic politics. It therefore lacks both the capacity to issue compelling prescriptions to the state and to undertake the practical work of engendering better modes of life within communities. All it can do is to make requests. Although he does not say this, it is notable that neither the advances in this discourse, nor its institutionalisation in formal civil society, have resulted in meaningful progress from the perspective of someone picked up by the police for being 'too black' or speaking Shangaan or French.
For Neocosmos "xenophobia and authoritarianism" are "a continuation of apartheid oppression" that are, in the end, a "product of liberalism". He proposes, against the state centric politics of liberalism, a recovery of popular emancipatory politics. This argument certainly has much more going for it than most of the views bandied about after the May pogroms, many of which took the form of simultaneous recommendations for firmer police action, better state intelligence and more projects to educate the poor about human rights. With some modifications it may also be able to explain some aspects of the other forms of popular reaction that have been growing in intensity.
In recent months there have, in some areas, been public attacks on lesbians and women dressed in trousers or in skirts deemed too short. It is certainly the case that as poor women are expected to take over more and more of the work needed to keep families and communities going there is an implicit gendering to decisions about the price of water, the numbers of taps and toilets that are provided to shack settlements, the need for volunteers to take on cleaning work, the care of the sick and so on. But it is certainly not the case that, as with xenophobia, these kinds of attacks can credibly be said to directly follow the logic and practices of the state or to be in any way complicit with the law.
While racist arguments about culture are often still used to explain the attacks on women progressives tend to argue that they are due to a general economic disempowerment. There is certainly a systemic disempowerment consequent to the endless economic crisis that ordinary people must confront, even in boom times. But there is also a systemic disempowerment consequent to both the complimentary authoritarianism of technocratic state and NGO responses to poverty and the top down party control over most of the political spaces through which ordinary people can access the state. It is notable that these kinds of attacks on women have not occurred, and are in fact simply unthinkable, in places where grassroots movements in which women are strong have created a political space for the collective self empowerment of the excluded. The fact that these are not the only spaces in which these kinds of attacks are unthinkable does not diminish the record of democratic grassroots political projects in this regard.
As Neocosmos has noted in a recent essay the popular movements that have rebuilt a democratic grassroots militancy were able to successfully defend and shelter people at risk in the May pogroms and, on at least one occasion, confront attackers head on. There was not one attack in any of the more than 30 settlements where the largely
'Foreigners in our own country'
There is a sense in which crises are confrontation with the real. Certain kinds of assumptions, claims and speculations that can survive without a direct challenge melt away in the face of this kind of shock. Others emerge on a firmer footing. Neocosmos' book has come out of the crisis with a lot more life than it had in April. But if the May crisis has appeared to offer some support to his analysis that analysis should certainly be extended. One obvious way in which the critique of the politics of liberalism should be developed would be to consider the various ways in which the South African poor are also excluded from substantive citizenship and the desperate rivalries that this can produce.
With an entrenched unemployment crisis that excludes around 40% of people from formal employment now compounded by the sudden escalation in food and transport prices there's not much disagreement about the depth of economic exclusion. Of course people do invent new modes of solidarity and survivalist communalism to cope but a dangerous desperation is also rife. Not everyone is in a position to confront the prospect of entering their 30s without ever having had a decent job with equanimity. For people bent on plunder anyone who is vulnerable, as undocumented migrants living under a hostile state most certainly are, is at risk.
Exclusion from substantive citizenship is also a question of space. The South African state is seeking to reverse the popular desegregation of cities achieved since the 1980s. There are major projects to drive the poor out of flats in the city centres in the name of creating 'World Class Cities'. Centrally located shack settlements are also under attack from a full fledged programme to 'eradicate' shacks by 2014. While most cities have one or two well funded projects to upgrade centrally located shack settlements they are the exceptions that legitimate the rule. The fact is that the state is beating the poor out of the cities in the name of 'slum clearance', the precise phrase used by apartheid, and before that colonialism, for the same purpose. The poor are being driven out of urban spaces over which there is sometimes a considerable degree of autonomous self management into regulated and commodified contemporary versions of the peripheral apartheid township – a space separate in every way from the fantasy of world class cities but far enough out of town for this fact to be tolerable.
An often politically innovative urban proletariat which appropriated urban land, as well as electricity and water, and often, although not always, turned it into a commons organised with a considerable degree of popular autonomy from state power is being recomposed into an individualized set of consumers safely warehoused on the urban periphery. The return to forced removals is a direct attack on people's livelihoods, access to education and health care, desire for an urban life and identity as citizens. With regard to the latter it is worth recalling that the denial of the right to the city was a central part of the denial of citizenship to Africans under apartheid. Every successful eviction increases the already severe overcrowding in the spaces that survive and escalates competition for space that can take all sorts of forms including ethnic and racial conflict amongst South Africans.
Despite more than 3 years of vigorous protests by the grassroots left across the country against local party councillors and their ward committees the reality of political exclusion doesn't have much elite currency. Civil society doesn't always easily recognise that democracy isn't only about elections and NGOs. People who appropriated or forged substantive rights to citizenship through the insurgent popular struggles of the 80s, or who were promised full social inclusion in Mandela's image of the nation, now find that, what ever their identity documents may say, they have been excluded from a key aspect of substantive citizenship – the right to speak, to be heard and to co-determine their future. Developmental processes are overwhelmingly technocratic and expert driven and the party is, for the very poor, now a top down structure that is used more for social control than as a space for popular discussion.
In fact in many shack settlements party structures are the armed enforcers of state discipline. Many of the thousands of popular protests over the last few years (often clearly misnamed as 'service delivery' protests by both the NGO left and the state) were aimed at trying to subordinate local party structures and representatives to popular power. It has been very striking that in many of these protests the people organising them have declared that they have returned to struggle because they have, again, 'been made foreigners in our own country'. This crisis in citizenship caused by a widespread exclusion from substantive citizenship has expressed itself in some remarkable mobilisations that have united people with and without legal citizenship to struggle to democratise society from below. But in the absence of democratic organisation it can also take the terrifying form of a desire to assert one's own citizenship by turning on the 'real' non citizens. Keeping on keeping on
The popular democratic politics in which Neocosmos invests his theoretical hope is the practical politics that was able to defend and shelter people targeted in the May pogroms, and has previously, although covertly, offered the same protection from the state. It is a politics that moves from the bottom up and which the state and many NGOs, including those on the left, consider to be outside of professional civil society and its aspirations to manage the poor and, therefore, criminal. The police have been trying to beat it into submission since 2004.
Mbeki repressed the return of this politics and could travel to Haiti in his own jet. Aristide embraced this politics and was forced to leave Haiti in an American jet. But in Port-au-Prince and Johannesburg, against the odds, against the soldiers and the police, against the mob that have decided to become the police, against the expert and against the NGO it endures, fragile but alive.

Speaker of the House John Boehner visited Naples on Tuesday to gather support for the Mitt Romney presidential campaign.
Boehner held a meet and greet at the Collier County Romney Victory Office on North Tamiami Trail.
"Keep focused on the economy. The whole issue is the economy. It's not all
these others things that the president wants to make it into. He can't run on
his record," Boehner said.
Approximately 100 people showed up to the event where Boehner worked to motivate voters.
The congressman from Ohio has been in office for 22 years and knows how important Florida is in the election.
He spoke about the economy and Mitt Romney's plan to make it better, and stressed the importance of the election.
"35 days. 35 days before the biggest election of our lifetime. You've heard politicians talk about the upcoming election being the biggest election of your lifetime. Guess what? They were wrong. The most important election of our lifetime is going to be this November," he said.
A second reason for Boehner's trip is to raise money and support for 19th congressional candidate Trey Radel.
"House Speaker John Boehner - I look forward to working with him," Radel said.
The speaker had a private fundraiser for Radel on Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday was day 11 of a 45 day tour for Speaker Boehner. After
Naples, he's heading to Orlando, Ponte Vedra,
and then to Pensacola.

As with all MP products, i wasnt disappointed with this flavor and quality of the product. Get this flavor if you like/crave sweets--i was a bit burned out by the time i finished the 4lb but thats to be expected until the $$ of two 2lbs are as cost-effective as the 4lbs. I will stick to the fruit flavors that are a bit more mild in terms of sweetness. This did taste JUST LIKE a cinnamon roll though. Definitely recommend.
its better and test better than the new monster milk, really good for us lactose intolerent people, and its even way easier on the stomach than monster milk
Comparable to ON Gold Standard. Taste was good. Cholestrol was pretty high per serving. Mixes well. Overall not bad. Would give it 5 stars if the cholestrol was lower.
I have tried three or four flavors of the combat powder and have enjoyed each one! They all taste head and shoulders above anything else I have tried and the stuff works! To get this quality in a drink I literally crave like a milkshake from a diner is incredible! This Cookies and Creme Combat powder is simply thee best!

Radiology Residents hold appointments as Veterinary Resident
Instructors. All of these appointments are funded by Texas A&M
University to provide patient care and teaching assistance in the
clinical programs of the College of Veterinary Medicine. All
residents are expected to perform many of the same services and
duties as senior faculty.
The diagnostic imaging (radiology) residency is a three-year
program designed to prepare the individual for successful
completion of the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR)
qualifying and certifying exams and for competent entry level
skills as a radiologist. This accredited program meets or exceeds
all specifications mandated for training by the ACVR.
The resident will be assigned a resident mentor.
The resident is assigned to clinical duty for at least 30.5
months of the training program. Five and a half months of the
program are designated for research, teaching, studying and
vacation. When the resident is assigned to clinical duty, he/she
will be under the direct supervision of the radiologist on duty
until after he/she passes the written board examinations. The
preliminary reports along with the radiographs/studies are all
reviewed daily during rounds. At the very least, the supervising
radiologist will be present at these rounds and the radiologists
that aren't on duty will attend when possible. Once a preliminary
report has been reviewed, it will then be finalized. During the
entire program, the cases dictated by the resident will always be
reviewed at least once (during rounds) by a supervising
radiologist. The resident will not be expected to supervise a
clinical service without backup until after they pass the written
board examination.
There are six clinical services:
There is always a radiologist assigned to each of these
services, except large animal ultrasound. The same radiologist may
be assigned to two of these services at once. The large animal
ultrasound service is run by 3 ACVIM diplomates with extensive
experience in this area. The resident will rotate through this
service as well but will not be directly supervised by an ACVR
diplomate. Rotation in large animal ultrasound will likely be
combined with large animal diagnostic radiology as they are
physically in close proximity. The resident will be assigned to a
minimum of 12 months clinical duty in small animal radiology, large
animal radiology and ultrasound. Radiology duty and ultrasound duty
may run concurrently in some instances. Remaining clinical time
will be distributed in the remaining imaging areas as dictated by
the ACVR accreditation process.
The radiologist and/or radiology resident will perform daytime
myelograms. He/She will also perform all gastrointestinal and
urinary contrast studies. He/She will have the opportunity to
participate in angiograms, balloon dilations, and transvenous
vascular occlusion procedures which are typically performed by the
cardiologists. Also, all ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided
aspirates and biopsies will be performed by radiology.
The resident will assist in nuclear medicine and will dictate
nuclear medicine cases with the supervision of the radiologist
during the rotation in that area.
The resident may be expected to give one lecture in the 2nd year
veterinary student lecture course given during the spring semester,
as well as assist in the film reading laboratories associated with
that class. During the second and third years (except during board
preparation time), the resident will be expected to share the duty
of daily 4th year student rounds in the clinic. This usually takes
the form of case presentations and discussion by the students. The
resident will not be required to participate in any continuing
education short courses but would be allowed to do so if he/she
Once a week there is either a one hour seminar given by the
medicine residents/faculty or morbidity and mortality rounds
presented by the residents. The radiology resident will be required
to attend these weekly presentations.
These rounds will be held twice a month and will be based on the
format of the ACVR oral board examination. A radiologist will
prepare "known" cases to be interpreted by the resident.
Weekly the resident will participate in discussion of recent
literature with the faculty radiologists.
Each day, the supervising radiologist in either large animal
radiology or small animal radiology as well as the resident and any
other radiologists that can attend will review the preliminary
reports and cases from the preceding days in those areas as well as
in ultrasound, nuclear medicine and CT/MRI. In this manner, the
resident will be able to view all cases as well as receive
constructive criticism on their reports.
No formal didactic training will be required. Instead, the
resident will have assigned topics of focused learning during their
training program. A radiologist will be assigned to supervise and
guide the residents study on each topic (via informal lectures,
reading lists, etc). At the end of each section, a comprehensive
written exam will be administered.
No formal externships are planned for this program.
The resident is expected to complete a prospective research
project and present the findings at a national meeting during
his/her final year. The resident is expected to write a research
proposal which will be evaluated by a committee of at least 3
faculty members (one member must be a radiologist). The committee
should be selected by December of the first year and the proposal
should be submitted to the committee by February of the first year.
The research should be completed during the second year and a
manuscript should be written and submitted to a refereed
publication by the end of the third year.
The first year resident will be reviewed at 6 months, and at the
end of the first year. Each resident is then reviewed annually. The
resident's mentor will solicit input from all faculty and will
provide and analysis of the resident's ability, capabilities, and
productivity which will be in written form as well as verbally
communicated to the resident. As part of this evaluation,
performance on the didactic examinations will also be included.
This evaluation will become part of the resident's permanent file.
Input is sought from our staff, faculty, and house officers from
other services. The review will be discussed with the resident in a
formal meeting with the section chief and/or program director.
The academic rank of the resident will be Veterinary Resident
Instructor. Reappointment for each year will be decided by the
Radiology section and the Head of the department
A certificate of completion of the residency program will be
presented to the resident upon successful completion of the 3-year
radiology residency program.
Please contact Dr. Benjamin Young (email@example.com or
(979)219-0234), Residency Program Director, with any questions.

Operation Thunder is back for the holidays, which means police checkpoints will be set up throughout Richmond County. Matthew Widener isn't happy the campaign is back because the last time it was in town, people stopped going to his bar, Surrey Tavern.
"Once it got started and people caught on to what was going on, I mean it was a 50 percent drop in sales, easy. It was traumatic," Widener says.
So in order to make sure people keep visiting his bar, Widener is offering free rides for customers.
"Instead of sitting back and being upset about it, I just had to figure out a way to make it work for the customers. They are scared to even go out and have one drink," Widener says.
All you have to do is call this number, and a driver will pick you up at your house, and then drive you home later that night.
"I'm simply giving my number. It's my personal cell. 706-231-1937. And I've got several drivers that are happy to do it and make a little extra money. Free to the customer. And going out worry free," Widener says.
Widener says he understands why the Richmond County Sheriff's Office is doing Operation Thunder, in fact, he has given free rides to customers in the past.
"We obviously don't want people drinking and driving, you got to be a responsible drinker. It tends to get out of hand and it's really hard to get cab rides in this town and that's another reason behind the free rides," Widener says.
Widener says as long as Operation Thunder is still in town, the free rides will continue... But he says that could change.
"You know what, Operation Thunder aside, if all goes well and this catches on, I'm going to keep doing it all the time. It's not just during the holidays," Widener says.

Don't be too upset by these folks, after all they are the job creators and need the tax breaks for their opulent lifestyles. Wonder who they are voting for?
on Oct 16, 2012 at 11:14 am
Aw, Bill! Does the tax rate matter if you aren't paying?! Regardless of who is president or what the tax rate is, these people who don't pay deserve to be punished and publicly humiliated. Their employees, if any, are probably glad for the job and are paying taxes.

Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet's dances have moved audiences all over the world. The Chelsea-based ballet company is made up of 16 talented dancers.
"You're dancing together, you're sweating, throwing each other and you have a really clear trust," says Billy Bell, a Cedar Lake dancer. "So it definitely does as the cliché goes, become a family."
You may remember Bell from his two seasons on the Fox show "So You Think You Can Dance." As part of Cedar Lake, he's living his dream, he says.
"I auditioned actually for four years in a row, and I finally got in when there was an available spot so I was super excited to be a part of the company," he says.
Ebony Williams has been with the company for nine years.
"If I have a bad day, I can come in, and I dance, and I can let all of that go," Williams says. "Even if I'm moving with a lot of aggression, there's this peace that comes with it. I feel free. I feel I can do anything and there's no judgment. I love it."
This year Cedar Lake is celebrating its 10th anniversary. In honor of the milestone, the group is performing this week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
"It's such a historic and major theater in New York, and the dance scene especially, that it feels really nice to be actually on that stage," Bell says.
Alexandra Damiani, the artistic director, says: "For me to be able to coach those dancers and witness them growing, and touch so many people when we go on tour, the audience, I get really happy. That's it. It makes me happy."
Damiani says she is especially proud of the versatility of the shows.
"I get goose bumps, and sometimes some tears," she says. "No matter I've been here 10 years, almost now, and I just get so proud. And involved. I feel a part of myself is on stage with them."
And dancers say the audience is in for something special.
"I hope they think we're fierce. I hope that they love it," Williams says. Obviously we love it. And when you're so passionate about something, I hope, it should come across."

- FabulousOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014We had a lovely time at Mastro's Ocean Club. We started off with shrimp cocktail & crab cocktail. It arrived on dry ice & was delicious. The bread basket was to die for. We ordered the filet, halibut, & the herb roasted chicken. Every entrée was amazing. My favorite side was the Gorgonzola Mac & cheese. You must order the butter cake for dessert. It's epic. Yes, this is obviously expensive, but worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/30/2014Been to Mastro's Ocean Club several times! Never disappointed! Always excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfriendly hostess and rude serverChrisDined on 8/28/2014Hostess was rude demand that we sit at our table and not finish our drinks in the bar and our server well that to long of a story to put on here. Not good
- MehFoodiefoodfoodDined on 8/24/2014My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and we were less than impressed. There were a total of 5-6 tables full in the restaurant and they sat everyone on top of one another. The waitress was pretentious and balked at our choice of ice water as opposed to sparkling or still. The food came out quickly which was nice but we had to crack our crabs & lobsters ourselves after the waitress emphasized to us a number of times that she would do all of the work for us. If I am going to pay over $100 for a seafood tower and $62 dollars a pound for crab legs, the least they can do is crack them for me. The Salt Cellar in Tempe is a much better choice and the food and service are exceptional!Special Features:
- Expected MoreOverratedDined on 8/23/2014My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at a amazing Scottsdale spa resort. We love steak and seafood and planned a romantic dinner at the Ocean Club but was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the food was good overall. They did give us a free dessert to celebrate our anniversary, ut the cake was cold and dry and they had they nerve to add ice cream. The Ocean Club does not compare to the Mastro's Steakhouse in Scottsdale, which by the way, is phenomenal; food, service, and ambiance. For us, it's unlikely that we would come back, but will definitely patronize both Mastro steakhouses.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014Outstanding service. The food was amazing and rated best dinner out yet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ocean ClubLove2eatDined on 8/20/2014This restaurant has AMAZING food and service! The prices are really high...but, everything seems gourmet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Great food and service for the wife's birthday celebration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but loudOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Excellent food and excellent service. Great drinks and wine list. Ambiance was more for a fun energetic night out rather than quiet romantic evening for two (which is what we were looking for). We were sat right in a corner in a bustling corner near a high traffic area and also next to people who were watching cartoons loudly on a cell phone while a band was playing in the bar. Will be glad to return for a group dinner or to have cocktails and a casual meal in the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary family eventOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Great to have some of our immediate family together for a memorable family event, involving three generations having great time togetherSpecial Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Lively bar scene. Wondered if most where there for a happy hour. Dining experience: Attentive waiter. Salads-disappointing. Our table had seafood and steak. All very rich. Possibly over use of butter?? Upset stomach that night, couldn't sleep. Astoundingly over priced for experience. Unlikely to return. Bring wallet to restrooms for attendant who turns on water, hands a towel, tip jar obvious.Special Features:
- 32nd AnniversaryProudDadDined on 8/14/2014Once again, Mastro's was perfect. The service was impeccable. The food is rich and decadent. Every mouthful is it's own celebration and you sit and wonder how it can possibly be so good. With standards this high, I would never risk going anywhere else for a special occasion. This is why we keep coming back again and again. Thank you Mastro's.Special Features:
- One of the best in Scottsdale!HappyVIPDined on 8/12/2014Every time we come here, I feel like the experience exceeds all expectations. Wait staff, food, music, everything. I absolutely love this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place.BiannecDined on 8/12/2014Nice for special occasions. Not a place you can eat at everyday unless you're rich. The sea bass is the best and love the elder martini. It was delicious. Thank you for my free dessert in honor of my birthday. Until next time 😃Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/12/2014Had a better experience last time when had a better waiter and better table. Table of 4 next to us was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves in conversation. Food was good but not spectacular like last time. Ambience can change everything…….even the taste of the food.Special Features:
- Business DinnerBrianCDined on 8/11/2014Food was excellent, staff was knowledgeable and attentive. I will be back!Special Features:
- Fine MealMeatguy1VIPDined on 8/11/2014Good service and excellent food. The prices are a little over the top, and the wine selections while good, were spendy. It is a very good location and I might return, but I just wonder how prices can go before it is too high. In my opinion the food and service were excellent, but the menu items are overpriced.Special Features:
- Bachelorette PartyMiriahDined on 8/9/2014We came to Scottsdale from Nashville for a bachelorette weekend and brought a party of 10 here for dinner on a Saturday night - I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Mastro's Ocean Club!!! They not only accommodated us, but when we were late, they were EXTREMELY understanding (getting 10 females ready on time is damn near impossible!). The food was AMAZING. The service was even more incredible. Everyone and everything was PERFECT. Mastro's called today to thank us for dining with them and to me, it's the little things that are so important! I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant - just know - it's not cheap. Not even a little bit. But it's worth EVERY dollar!!!!Special Features:
- Food and Dining ExperienceLuciaDined on 8/9/2014I had the giant lobster tail. It was a bit rubbery. I could not cut it with a knife. A couple to the left of us were having a heated argument. The woman kept saying," I will get louder." The girls at the front door looked very uptight and were not very friendly.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/7/2014Excellent service! Great food! Very much attention to detail! Impressed with next day follow up!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could not have been better!DschreyerteviewsDined on 8/6/2014The attention to detail was perfect. From the moment my wife and I walked in to the moment we finished our meal, we were completely satisfied with everything. The waiter was great and we did not feel rushed. The food was fantastic and we would recommend this dining experience to anyone. Can't wait to come back to Scottsdale so we can visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mickie is the BEST!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/5/2014Our server, Mickie (sp?) was a WONDERFUL server! She took care of us and was very attentive. She made our experience EXCELLENT!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Soapy shrimp and rushed experienceFargDined on 8/1/2014We visited here for a special vacation night dinner after I had been here years ago and enjoyed it. This experience however was not enjoyable. Our server rushed us the ought the dinner asking for our order as he placed the seafood sampler down on our table. We were in and out of there in 75 minutes and had appetizers, a full course dinner with sides and 2 glasses of wine each. The two couples on either side of us were there before us and were still there after we left. To top it off we had two jumbo shrimp with our seafood tower and one if them had obviously been doused in soapy water. It was absolutely disgusting. My ribeye was just 'okay' and nothing special. I've had far better at many other restaurants. Overpriced for the experience!
- Not impressedAllyssaDined on 7/26/2014We were not impressed with Mastro's Ocean Club. The food was extremely overpriced for what we got. My husband ordered the 12 oz filet and, although it was a nice cut of meat, it was rather tasteless and slightly overcooked. I ordered the sea scallops. Two of the scallops were very good, but the other two tasted like ammonia. We ordered the lobster mashed potatoes to share and for $35 for a side, they were just so-so. The ambiance was also not that impressive. We were place at a table for two that was so close to the tables on either side of us, it felt like we were dining with those patrons as well. It didn't make for a very intimate dining experience. Overall, we were not impressed and will not return to or reccommend Mastro's Ocean Club.
- BDH1VIPDined on 7/25/2014Service was on point, but the food lack flavor and finesse. Just a boring meal at a high price point. Great bar scene though.
- Fair, but not WOWEDlovefinefoodinAZDined on 7/25/2014Food was good, but not great. Expected to be WOWED. Service was great and atmosphere was great but overall food was disappointing. Fish was cold by the time it came to the table. Seemed like a $250 dinner I could have fixed at home for $35.Special Features:
- CathyVIPDined on 7/25/2014Tomato Salad with Barrata needs some acidity and seasoning, otherwise the food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond Awesome!TinaDined on 7/24/2014This restaurant goes above and beyond the normal service call. Food was a delight, as well as the waitstaff. We will be back at some point!Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerchrissyDined on 7/23/2014A little loud for romance, but the food and service was excellent. Worth the trip from Tucson.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014Had a wonderful dinner with my family. They don't get treated to fine dining very often and the Ocean Club is over the top! First time that I have had my sides served and plates are hot!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great & Not So GreatFOODSNOBSVIPDined on 7/19/2014Everything was great except my Twin Lobster Tails. We were a party of 8 and literally everything other than my lobster tails were excellent! Not sure what happened - sent back once because it wasn't cooked thoroughly and then upon return, my first bite was full of shell particles. I had some in tail prior to sending back but didn't make a big deal however when they brought it back after being cooked more, I literally had to spit the first bit out in to my napkin. Very disappointing. However, the the portions are so huge that I was well fed and no longer hunger! Great place though - just don't order the lobster tails!I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/13/2014Great food. Great service. The staff was very attentive. Best bread basket ever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, but...OccasionalFoodieDined on 7/13/2014We had heard a lot of good things about the Ocean Club, so we decided to try it for our Anniversary this year. We went on a Sunday evening, so it was a bit slower and not as crowded as I can imagine it might get on a regular weekend evening. We ordered the Salmon special and the Swordfish, both prepared the way our waiter recommended them. We split a side of Lobster Mashed as well. Both of our entrees were good, but not the best we'd ever eaten and probably not even in the top five. Everything else - drinks, sides, bread and salads were top-notch, but we both felt our entrees (and the desert) fell a bit short. It wasn't a bad experience, but we walked away without being "wowed" by anything except the bill. (and not in a good way)Special Features:
- Outstanding!JB28Dined on 7/11/2014This was my first time to Mastro's and I can't wait to go again. Ashley was ! Will request her the next time we go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ALWAYS A FAVORITEFoodieDined on 7/6/2014Maestro's always delivers on their signature formula: good food and good service. This does come with a hefty price but it is worth it.Special Features:
- OverpricedUSCMDDined on 7/5/2014The food and service were excellent. However, the restaurant was very loud and was extremely overpriced. I think if you pay $40 to $50 for an entree, that a side vegetable should be included. Also, they should have a small side salad as a choice. They salad I ordered would have been enough for a meal by itself and most of it was wasted.
- Fish and steak...RyllVIPDined on 7/5/2014were prepared perfectly. Only complaint is the portions are too large...difficult to eat app, entree, and any sides. Prices reflect the size of the entrees....fish entrees were over $40.
- Outstanding service, mediocre foodJessicaFDined on 7/4/2014I had never been to the Ocean Club for dinner just for drinks and appetizers, so this was my first dinner experience and it was for a special occasion. Could not have had a better, more attentive waitress. The cocktails were fabulous as was the crab leg appetizer. However, my sea bass was only so, so, and I was not all that impressed with the asparagus or the lobster mashed potatoes (they were far too rich and almost greasy). For the money, the food was very average. I think I would go back for drinks, appetizers and dessert, but not have a full dinner.Special Features:
- AMAZING!TLB007CADined on 7/4/2014We usually go to City Hall, but decided to try this one instead and WOW! We had an early reservation so when we arrived, there were only a few tables in use. The hostess seats us in a rahter large area right next to a table of 8 adults and 2 infants. Seriously? Needless to say, we quietely asked to be moved, so we went to the lounge area and decided to sit at the bar. Best decision we made, our bartender Cindy was the most personable, professional, witty, adorable and quick bartender we have ever had. We laughed the entire time we were there. Nothing against the other bartenders, they were ALL fantastic! The food was perfection, the crab cocktail is beyond delicious, the cocktails were fabulous and the wine, oh WONDERFUL wine list!!Special Features:

If you haven't been blasted yet with neon colored, flashing Black Friday ads at any point this week, you have been living under a rock.
It is nearly impossible to avoid a 50 percent door buster deal advertisement or promises of free gift cards if you step foot into a store by a certain time.
So rather than giving into the commercialism, these Patch readers have shared via Facebook their mutual boycotting of Black Friday.
Millbrae Patch Facebook follower Nathalie Vargas said "Now you're talking!" referring to supporting Small Business Saturday over Black Friday.
Others were sick of the Black Friday craze:
Adrienne Liu commented on Palo Alto Patch's Facebook, "who wants to shop on black Friday [sic] w/ the other crazies? It's sad that people are starting to camp outside stores now".
"The commercialism is insane," agreed Philip P. McGarvey on Half Moon Bay Patch's Facebook.
"Black Friday kind of negates everything we say at the dinner table the night before LOL," wrote Erin Murphy Macias on Pacifica Patch's Facebook.
Others took the opportunity to plug their small businesses in their respective towns:
Over in Pacifica, Julie R Love said "resurrected [sic] in rockaway beach has dozens of unique gifts at great prices !!!"
Rheanna Carter on
Redwood City Patch's Facebook said "If anyone would like to support a RWC Local Pampered Chef consultant I'm doing some great specials for the long weekend!! email@example.com
Thank you for supporting locals!"
Marci Ganoza in Pacifica even took the opportunity to give a shout-out to an event happening before Small Business Saturday, "It wont' be on small business saturday but Madrigalli Market is on Nov. 30th and Dec 1st at the Pedro Point Firehouse [in Pacifica], local and handmade!"

UPDATE: Headteacher reacts after Lewisham school teen 'stabbing'
Updated 4:47pm Friday 2nd May 2014 in News By Sarah Trotter, reporter
A Lewisham headteacher says he is taking the reported 'stabbing' of a 14-year-old pupil "very seriously".
Three teens have been bailed after the victim received a "stab or puncture wound" to his leg and was taken to hospital on April 30.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) were called to Prendergast Vale College, formerly Lewisham Bridge School, in Elmira Street, to reports of a stabbing at around 3pm.
Headteacher Paul O'Neill said: "The safety of pupils at our school is our utmost priority and we are taking this matter very seriously.
"We are working closely with the police as they conduct their investigations and to ensure the continued safety of our school community."
LAS sent one ambulance crew to the scene and treated the teenager who was taken as a priority to hospital.
A Met spokesman says the victim had a "stab or puncture wound" to his leg and two 14-year-old boys and a 14-year-old girl were arrested in connection with the incident. They were bailed until mid-June pending further enquiries.
An LAS spokeswoman said: "We were called just before 3pm to reports of a stabbing.
"We sent one ambulance crew to the scene and our staff treated one patient, reported to be a teenage boy. He was taken to hospital as a priority."
A Met spokesman added the boy was not believed to have been seriously injured.

Two years ago Ofsted reported that Prendergast Vale 'requires improvement'. It sure does!
My thoughts and best wishes go out to the parents and children at the heart of this incident and hope that they will finally be receiving some belated support. The children and parents of Lewisham deserve better.

Fall For Dance At City Center: The fall dance season in New York City once again got off to a rousing start with the extremely popular Fall For Dance, a festival which featured 28 dance companies in a 10-day event produced by Ellen Dennis. The work of coordinating the sound and lighting for these companies fell to festival lighting director Clifton Taylor and festival sound supervisor Leon Rothenberg. With tickets at just $10 per performance, its no wonder Fall For Dance sells out so fast, with audiences getting an incredible range of dance in terms of style, from ballet, tap, and jazz to even hula!
One of the most interesting pieces I saw dates from 1975: Merce Cunningham's Sounddance with music by David Tudor (Untitled 1974/1994), an electronic score played live by John King. The scenery is by Mark Lancaster, who also did the costumes and original lighting: there was a lighting update in 1994 by Aaron Copp. The scenery includes wide, upstage curtain of knotted brownish gold fabric with an entrance upstage center. The dances swing in as if joining a party, and eventually flow off stage the same way. Cunningham's work seems timeless, and its hard to believe the piece dates from more than 30 years ago.
While Copp did not have to supervise the lighting for Sounddance, he did design the lighting for The Lombard Twins, a hip-hop duo. "This was the only piece in Fall For Dance to have original lighting," he says, nothing that the piece was performed for the first time at Fall For Dance, as the world premiere of part of a full-evening piece not completed yet. "It has a slight MTV look to it, with a little bit of everything in terms of color" he says. "I had a warm palette with Lee 127 smoky pink and R27 dark red, and a cool palette with GAM 855 deep indigo and Lee 161 steel blue, a staple, the best color in the universe, I use it all the time."
Copp found that the 20 Vari-Lite VL1000s in the festival rep plot were useful for specials. The lighting this year was all programmed on City Center's new ETC Eos console. The festival lighting crew included associate LD Carolyn Wong, lighting assistant Nicholas Houfek, and master electrician Eric Schultz. Taylor even maintained a web site, where all the paperwork was kept for the designers sending in plots from afar.
Additional gear for the festival came from PRG Lighting, Hudson Sound & Light, PRG Audio, and New City Video. A new loudspeaker system at City Center is by d+b Audiotechnik. For Rothenberg, the live segments included a solo piano player for San Francisco Ballet's stunning Jerome Robbins pas de deux set to Chopin, with lighting by Jennifer Tipton, plus occasional singing (as with the hula dancers who also had a drummer), as well as the score for Sounddance.
No sooner did the final curtain call take place than the Fall For Dance team headed out west to the Orange Country Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, CA, with two programs October 2-5, featuring 10 companies: six that had been seen in New York and four new ones. One of the companies seen in both places is the National Ballet of Canada with Jiri Kylian's moving Soldiers' Mass, with set and costumes by Kylian, and lighting by Joop Caboort. Christopher Dennis, the National Ballet of Canada's own resident LD, was spotted in the lobby
All in all, Fall For Dance is a very ambitious undertaking that not only allows audiences to see the work of many different dance companies, but also enjoy the work of a wide range of designers, including Jennifer Tipton, the recent MacArthur Fellow winner, who designed at least three of the pieces seen in the festival, and Christina Giannelli, who had lit the Houston's Ballet's Balanchine Tchaikovsky pas de deux. As for costumes, Liz Prince created some colorful, humorous outfits for a trio in Larry Keigwin's piece Fire, and Norma Kamali's white costumes for the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet's piece, Sweet Fields, by Twyla Tharp, were simple yet stunning and showed off the physicality of the dancers. —Ellen Lampert-Greaux
Seen on Broadway: I've seen three Seagulls over the past year, or four, counting Sidney Lumet's 1968 film version. But until the Royal Court Theatre brought its acclaimed London staging to the Walter Kerr I hadn't seen one with an Arkadina and a Nina in perfect balance, and it makes all the difference. It helps that Christopher Hampton's "new version" of Chekhov's chestnut sharpens the layers of conflict and concern between its two key female characters (the piece now has some of the bite of Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses to it). But the lion's share of the credit goes to Kristin Scott Thomas, who is the right age and temperament for the overwhelming Arkadina, for whom all the world's a stage, and Carey Mulligan, a perfectly pitiable Nina without overdoing the pathos or playing for sympathy (I recognized Mulligan from one of the best Doctor Who episodes, "Blink"). Thomas, who is in her prime as an actress, aces the jealousy and miserliness of the character, but that is the easy part. The more difficult task is to tap into the slender reservoir of love and empathy she has for her assumed rival, Nina, and her son, the emotionally brittle playwright Konstantin (Mackenzie Crook), whose experimental pieces are an affront to her more conventional sensibility. This she does with great finesse. In a congenial, collaborative production, she shows tremendous rapport with Crook, best-known on these shores as a pirate of the Caribbean and the sycophantic Gareth in the UK version of the Office. Under Ian Rickson's direction, the actor shows his chops for stage classics.
Acting-wise, the production is misaligned elsewhere. I've yet to see a fully satisfying Trigorin (a hard part to play without slipping into obvious villainy) and Peter Sarsgaard, who like Thomas is also making his Broadway debut, isn't it. Behind a heavy beard the actor, playing a magnetic personality, seems to be going for degrees of flatness, and fails to register beyond the first dimension. I like Zoe Kazan, who I see more than my closest relatives, but she overplays Masha, emphasizing the comic aspects of the part over the character's evident resignation. And Peter Wight is a little too hale and hearty for the dying Sorin. But the rest of the ensemble, including Art Malik as Doctor Dorn, is solid, and the show moves along at good pace. There may not be such a creature as a perfect Seagull—this, however, is a consistently intelligent (and entertaining) crack at the material, which gets to the heart of the matter.
The last New York Seagull, from Classic Stage Company, tried to get the lakeside setting in via Santo Loquasto's mirrored floor. Scenic and costume designer Hildegard Bechtler takes a back-to-basics approach. The set is simple and uncluttered, with the black back panels removed to reveal windows and suggest the indoors once Konstantin's disastrous outdoor staging of his piece (complete with gong) has ended. The second act is set entirely in the shabbily genteel house, with peeling whitewash. (Bechtler's clothes have the same effect; except for Arkadina's more ostentatious outfits and the dapper Trigorin and Doctor, everyone looks clean but a little weather-beaten, struggling in the late 19th century.) Peter Mumford's lighting is an effective mood-setter, particularly during the play-within-a-play, where purplish hues indicate the shift to twilight. I was most impressed with Ian Dickinson's audio design. The storminess at the top of the second act is an attention-getter, but throughout the ear is conscious of the sounds of nature filtering in, complementing the legendary text. The Seagull plays through Dec. 21.—Robert Cashill

|Timeline of YuYuGiDigiMoon.
|Timeline of Digimon Fusion Kai.
|The most famous theme park across the multiverse.
1) If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?
Something similar to the Book of Ages from Jackie Chan Adventures, meaning one example of reality warping because I wanna change to a better universe that suits my image.
2) What's your favorite kind of music? And is there a type you just can't stand?
Probably some rock and soundtracks. One type I can't stand is hip-hop and rap being overrated (not always..).
3) If you could insert yourself into any fictional universe (Game of Thrones, Naruto, Adventure Time, etc.) which would it be and why?
I have a lot in mind canon-wise, but it could be Pokemon most likely.
In fanfic crossovers-wise, it'll definitely be Digimon Fusion Kai and YuYuGiDigiMoon.
4) Do you have a celebrity crush? If you do, spill it! Who is it?!
Not really.
5) What was the last movie you saw in a cinema? Did you enjoy it?
Lego Movie, I enjoyed it.
6) If you could un-invent one thing, what would it be and why?
An origami because its easier to unfold.
7) When you get up and do what you do, what inspires you? What drives you?
Past experiences, maturity, and a creative mind that makes me active in claiming names.
8) Tell me about something funny that either happened to you, or you witnessed! ... Oh yeah, this has to be a question. Please?
While I see a lot of funny stuff, nothing specific comes to mind.
9) Have you ever been out of the country? If so, where did you go? How was it? And if not, where would you go if you had the chance and why?
I only been to Thailand two times when I was young, and it was pretty decent. Will be satisfied if I visit there now, but if I want to go to other countries, probably be Japan, Singapore and/or Europe.
10) If you could have a conversation with any historical figure? Who would it be? And of course, explain why!
I don't have anything in mind.

New York Jets
Mark Sanchez - #6 - QB
|6' 2"/ 225 lbs.
|Mission Viejo, CA
|Years played
|2009, 1st round, 5th pick by Jets
Sanchez knows what Jets QB means
Mark Sanchez was one year and a game into his tenure as a starting NFL quarterback in New York when he learned the harsh reality of what that means.
Sanchez has career game in Jets' first win
Mark Sanchez threw a career-high three touchdown passes, including two in the second half, and the New York Jets held off Tom Brady and the New England Patriots despite losing Darrelle Revis in a 28-14 victory Sunday.
Edwards, Sanchez need to pick it up
WR Braylon Edwards was brought to the Jets to make big plays, but he still hasn't found a consistent connection with QB Mark Sanchez.
Week One, in the rear view
In his weekly review of the week that was, Tom Danyluk compares the rule that cost Calvin Johnson a touchdown to the "Tuck Rule" that infamously cost the Raiders a divisional-playoff win over the Patriots in January 2001.
Report: Unidentified team files complaint to NFL against Jets
An unidentified team filed a formal complaint with the NFL against the Jets for violating the league's offseason training rules.
Report: Jets to re-sign QB O'Connell
The Jets reportedly will re-sign QB Kevin O'Connell and place him on injured reserve with a torn labrum.
Sanchez might spoil Jets' season
With Darrelle Revis back, the Jets have all the pieces to make a run at the Super Bowl. That is, all but one: a quarterback.
Jets release QB O'Connell
The Jets released QB Kevin O'Connell on Tuesday, likely giving the No. 3 job to Kellen Clemens.
Jets QB Sanchez to wear knee brace
To avoid any future problems with his left knee, Jets QB Mark Sanchez will wear a protective brace.
Don't expect major leap from Sanchez
If Jets QB Mark Sanchez develops into a quarterback worth starting every week in fantasy leagues, it won't be in 2010, writes PFW's Dan Parr.
Grain of salt needed with offseason news
Although optimism reigns at this time of year, some perspective is needed, such as when Panthers LB Thomas Davis suffers his second ACL tear in seven months.
Reports: Jets QB Sanchez 'limited' in drills
QB Mark Sanchez returned to the field for the first time since undergoing knee surgery as the Jets held their first organized team activity of the offseason Monday.
Sanchez on schedule for training-camp return at latest
Mark Sanchez has a talented, but troubled, new target to work with in the recently acquired Santonio Holmes, but the two likely won't be able to get on the field to practice together until training camp.
Tannenbaum: Sanchez will be ready before camp but not exactly sure when
During his press conference at the Combine Friday, Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum changed his tune, slightly, on QB Mark Sanchez's timetable to get back on the field after undergoing knee surgery Feb. 17.
Sanchez to undergo surgery Wednesday
Jets QB Mark Sanchez will undergo surgery on his left knee Wednesday, according to reports.
Jets' Sanchez will undergo knee surgery
Jets QB Mark Sanchez has decided to undergo surgery on his left knee, but he's expected to be ready for training camp, reports indicate.
Jets tolerating Sanchez's ups and downs
Mark Sanchez delivered a decent performance in a Week 16 victory, which relieved some tension among Jets players, observers say.
Rex Ryan says Mark Sanchez will be the New York Jets' starting quarterback for "the first snap" in minicamp, but insists there will be an open competition at the position.||||||| The Jets coach says at the NFL meetings Tuesday that the team needs "to get better" at the position." Sanchez struggled mightily last year, and was benched in favor of third-stringer Greg McElroy for a game. New York brought in veteran David Garrard to compete with Sanchez for the job, and anything is possible with Ryan at the helm of this circus.
The Jets are hamstrung by the contract of Sanchez, who is coming off a miserable season but is guaranteed $8.25 million next season. He would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.||||||| Sanchez will almost certainly be back, unless the Jets can trade him. If Sanchez returns, he will likely have to compete for the starting job, and the Jets will be in the market for a quarterback in free agency or the draft.
Greg McElroy has a concussion and will be replaced by Sanchez as the New York Jets' starting quarterback in the season finale at Buffalo on Sunday.||||||| Coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that McElroy, preparing to make his second NFL start in place of the benched Sanchez, was lifting weights and had headaches. Ryan says he chose to start Sanchez over Tim Tebow because the team has just two practices and a walkthrough to prepare before the game and he feels "more comfortable" with Sanchez. Sanchez was benched after turning the ball over five times at Tennessee on Dec. 17.
Sanchez and Tim Tebow are both active as Greg McElroy's backups in the New York Jets' regular-season home finale against the San Diego Chargers.||||||| It is the first time all season that Rex Ryan has had all three of his quarterbacks active for a game. By having all three available, Ryan avoids having to designate either Sanchez or Tebow as the No. 2 quarterback Sunday.
Sanchez knows he won't be the New York Jets' starting quarterback this week. The one-time face of the franchise won't say whether he thinks he'll be back with the team next season.||||||| Benched in favor of Greg McElroy for Sunday's game against San Diego, Sanchez said he hadn't thought about his future. He says that "I'm a Jet, and that's all I've known," despite the fact the team will consider all options with Sanchez - including a trade - in the offseason. Sanchez threw four interceptions and lost the football on the final offensive play as New York was eliminated from playoff contention with Monday night's 14-10 loss at Tennessee.

1. Give me a link to the post with problem
2. I would like to include excerpts of the posts in my slider even below the slider (magazine view).
This was made easily in the past version by ticking a box. Can't find that box now.
Bold excerpts wont look good on content width slider, if you want to add them anyway, I will include that option in two days.
3) Where are the rounded corners?
Navigation? They were removed in premium. If you want the old navigation style
follow this tutorial
How to get the old navigation style in SwiftPremium
4) How many pixels are the new slider? Wide and height? The full slider was 960 wide, can't find any size for this one.
Depends on the content width, Width of "content width slider" is 62% of your site width - 20, width of full width slider is equal to site width - 20
width to height ratio is 1.62
5) In the menus, it seems to be impossible to alter the colors away from the normal font colors.
Thats a bug, will take care of it.
6) How do I actually adjust the size of the sidebars? Random seems to be one slightly wider than the other, which was not the case in the last version.
Screenshot please.
Some suggestions
1. Make the nav border and background slightly darker than the header
2. Use widget without padding for twitter widget
3. You forgot to setup footer links.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Shrimp Rolls
There's nothing quite like a fresh lobster roll on the shores of Maine, but when you can't get there and you can't afford lobster to make them at home, shrimp makes a delicious second-best. Bright lemon zest and parsley combined with creamy mayo and spicy Old Bay are a most delectable way to serve up these shrimp rolls for a light lunch.
Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 15 minutes
Yield: Serves 6
1 pound shrimp in-shell
1/4 cup celery diced small
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay or other seafood seasoning
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley - chopped
1 teaspoon salt
6 small potato rolls (hot dog size works best)
- Cook shrimp in-shell in boiling salted water until pink - about 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
- Remove shells from shrimp and cut meat into chunks.
- Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, seafood seasoning, lemon zest, parsley and salt and stir well. Add celery and shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate up to 24 hours or serve immediately.
- Spoon into rolls and serve.
