4.18/5 rDev +2.5%
My wife and I finally tried this place out, stopping in for dinner a few weeks ago. The dining room was a little more upscale than the brewpubs and most of the beer bars we've been frequenting lately. Not stuffy, but appropriate for the kind of dining experience they're trying to provide. There was a sizable beer menu that was immediately handed to us with our food menus, lots of US craft, Belgian, and good quality imports. I certainly had no problem choosing a beer that would go with my dinner. Our food was quite good. The scallop appetizer was delicious, the scallops were immense, and it tasted great. I had fish & chips (not sure why, given the menu, but that's what I had a hankering for), which were good, and my wife had the mac 'n' cheese entree, which was excellent. Prices for food and beer were within reason, but a little more pricey than I've seen elsewhere. Still, certainly not a bad deal. A good experience overall and I wouldn't hesitate to come here again. My ratings are based on the dining room.
Now on to the take-out room where you can grab singles to go. Compared to other places that you can grab singles in the area, the selection was anemic and the prices were very high. It would be worth the drive to go somewhere like Capone's where the selection is much better. I thought I might grab something to bring home after we finished dinner, but after looking around for a few minutes I turned around and headed out the door empty handed.

The Epicurean has been a mainstay in Phoenixville, well before it's resurgence. Many of us got our introductio tho The Ep with their now defunct Sunday Brunch. I do miss that...
A - a little stuffy in the dining room, but it matches the level of service, and it does feel nice to be handed a comprehensive beer list as large as the wine list, if not more. Very appropriately appopinted room for the level of dining. Proper spacing for a semi-formal dinner. If I wore jeans, it would be with nice black shoes, collared shirt and a jacket. You get the picture, for better or worse. The bar is a different story. It's usually full of people who do gardening work in that same clothing. So i have frequently felt the bar crowd there as off-putting, but I have had limited experience.
Q - great food offerings, every single time. Great specials and a solid menu. This is not a beer bar. Actually it is how a restaurant should be, a beer list equalling the wine list.
S - very helpful, attentive servers whenever there. Even the young man a the take out beer area really seems to know his stuff, and is learning all the time.
S - best you will find around that is offered at table service. (DISCLAIMER: I have not made it to Capone's in Norristown yet)
F - wonderful, every bite, from soups to appetizers and main courses, they are imaginative and almost daring in some offerings.
Overall, it's a bit pricey here, and aI prefer the pub atmosphere to this anyway. If I want fine dining, I will find a BYOB somewhere an bring my own bombers. But, you can't go wrong to try it here. It's just not my crowd.

This is a wonderful place to eat if you like upscale dining. I have eaten there on many occasions. The jerk chicken wings are among the best out there. The crab cakes are superb. Other favorites are the Lobster Ravioli, Duck and Lamb Chops. They even have a childrens menu, which keeps my little one happy. And of course, the beer selection is great. 200+ bottles, and at least another half dozen on tap. I remember having Flying Fish Grand Cru one visit. The entree prices reflect that they are a bit upscale, but are reasonable for what you get.

The Epicurean is a comfortable, white tablecloth restaurant that straddles the fence into more of a family place. It has a kind of lodge-like feel, and the dining room is cozy, but larger than you might think from looking at it at the outside. The food is very good, and reasonably priced. Soups and salads are around $5-6, appetivers in the $8-9 range, burgers are $6, and entrees run in the $16 to $20 range with home-style foods (meatloaf, pot pie, ravioli) alongside more adventurous dishes (veal & shrimp sautee, roast duckling).
The bar is small and comfortable with about 12 - 14 seats and some tables on the side; and it has even more of a ski-lodge feel with a vaulted ceiling and lots of wood. The draft selection is decent, as is the bottle menu, but the prices are kind of high... $4.95 for a bottle of Flying Fish Extra Pale Ale? Regardless, it's a nice little bar and they do have happy hour. There's music on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 to 1 (although I've never been there for that), and the late night menu goes until midnight.
There's a take-out area around back with a pretty good selection; and since it's right down the street from the Sly Fox and Iron Hill, it might be worth it to stop in for a beer and see if you'd like to have dinner one night.

3.35/5 rDev -17.9%
Nice restaurant, nice bar. Very warm interior with a lot of soft light colored wood in the bar. The restaurant was bit dim and modern in appearance. Basically one of your typical, somewhat upscale eateries that dot the Philly suburbs.
Food was good, but call me uncultured (i.e. cheap), I felt bang for buck was a bit lacking. The beer menu was very nice. Plenty of micros, macros and Imports. Not an astonishing list, but fairly good and definitely better then most "upscale" places would have. For me any place that has a separate beer menu is at least on the right track.
I had a Victory Prima Pils and got a Rogue Dead Guy to go. The "to go" part of this place is what a Pa BA would call a descent find, which means they sell singles and have an above average selection. Singles are hard to come by in the Keystone state with it's wonderfully frustrating case laws. Don't make a special trip here for sure, but if your in the area, maybe pull in and at least check out the singles.

Police on Saturday arrested a man they had sought in connection with three shootings this month.
Bernard "Crucial" Bellerouche, 27, was in the Benton County jail after his arrest in Kennewick in an operation that included U.S. marshals and Kennewick and Federal Way police.
Federal Way police said Bellerouche shot Demario Washington, 27, to death May 7 after an argument in the 27600 block of Pacific Highway South.
Bellerouche also is considered a person of interest in two other incidents. A May 13 shootout in a Federal Way parking lot killed a U.S. Marine, George J. Gabriel, who had been on his way to visit his mother. A day earlier, a shooting in Des Moines injured at least one man.

Martin Fowler on Schemaless Data Structures
In recent years, there's been an increasing amount of talk about the advantages of schemaless data. Being schemaless is one of the main reasons for interest in NoSQL databases. But there are many subtleties involved in schemalessness, both with respect to databases and in-memory data structures. These subtleties are present both in the meaning of schemaless and in the advantages and disadvantages of using a schemaless approach.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Wesley Korir has seen this kind of violence before. The 2012 Boston Marathon champion and newly elected member of the Kenyan parliament was trapped for a time in his native country during post-election violence in December of 2007.Still, Monday's terrorist explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon hit him hard, even if he had long since finished the race, in fifth place."I had finished the press conference and was in my hotel taking a shower," Korir said. "While I was taking a shower I heard the explosion. My hotel is very close to the finish line. My wife had gone down to get some food, and she came back saying there had been a bomb explosion outside and the hotel was in lockdown. . . . Then I looked outside and there were all these emergency vehicles going around. My first thought was to let my people back home know I was safe, and all the Kenyans were safe. And then pray for what is going on in this world."Korir, 30, isn't just a runner. He was elected to Kenya's parliament representing his native Rift Valley in March, and he has worked tirelessly for years to establish his Kenyan Kids Foundation, into which he has poured many of his race winnings over the years.Last summer, the foundation helped complete construction of a hospital in his home village of Biribiriet, then worked to arrange for a team of American doctors and medical personnel -- some from the University of Louisville, where he was a cross-country All-American -- to treat more than 3,000 villagers, even performing live-saving surgeries for some.After the blasts in Boston, Korir took to the phones to check on each Kenyan runner in the race. Once all were accounted for, he thought about the larger implications of the violence, and he remembered walking through the rubble of a church that had been barricaded and burned down with people inside during his fateful 2007 trip home to Kenya."It's sad," Korir said. "Violence, I feel like, it is everywhere. . . . There is no more safe place. You don't know where to go to be safe. You go to a church and it can be burned down. You go to a race and there are bombs.""This is one thing that will change our sport forever," Korir said. "I know we will get over it, but it brings out fear in your mind of what can happen. . . . I know we will move on from this. But God be with us, because we don't know, we don't know what will go on in our lives. . . . We must pray for the victims here, and their families."Korir said his training regimen was curtailed a bit by his public duties, and that he was happy with his race result. But he added that he's much more concerned with how to address problems in his home country, as well as the bigger issues of attacks like the one in Boston. Speaking to the overall question of terrorism and random violence, he sounded a theme that he has been repeating since his days as a runner in college."I think we have to get our morals back, as leaders we have to try to get morals back," Korir said. "I don't believe war will ever end, this kind of thing. There are bad people, they are among you, they are there. So we have to pray very hard, and get our morals back. We must teach our young men the importance of love, the importance of safety, of harmony to raise the standard of living and morals of all people."Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

We were thrilled to see our CoPilot Live app update was approved by Apple over the weekend—bringing you full support for iPhone 4 and multitasking in iOS4.
Thanks to everyone who contacted us over the weekend! We'd like to respond to a couple of common comment threads we're seeing:
CoPilot Live does not exit when you press the iPhone 'Home' button
One of the key enhancements brought by iOS4 is multitasking – the ability to run more than one application at a time on an iPhone. With CoPilot Live, this enables you to receive navigation guidance while on a phone call or using other apps.
However, as some have pointed out, there might be many instances where you want to exit CoPilot Live rather than continue it running in the background – one of the reasons being to conserve battery power.
CoPilot Live is already designed to switch-off GPS receiving after 10 minutes if a position fix is not detected for 10 minutes or more.
If you would rather exit CoPilot Live completely, you can do so by following these steps:
- Tap the iPhone
- Step 2

The East Texas Pipe Organ Festival, scheduled for November 14-17 will honor the life and work of Roy Perry.
Perry was a self taught organist who began his career paying in silent movie theaters. Kilgore's Crim family brought him to Kilgore to be the organist at the First Presbyterian Church of Kilgore, and it is here that Perry made pipe organ history.
Although the Aolian Skinner Organ Company of Boston made the church's new organ and the Williams family of New Orleans installed it, it was Perry who oversaw the project and fine tuned the results.
The full orchestra range, along with the first organ trumpets in the country, made the "Aolian Skinner Opus 1173 Organ famous. Roy Skinner died over three decades ago and yet his legacy lives on in the beautiful music of this wonderful organ. For more information call Lorenz Maycher at 903-987-0317

Recipe by MOLLYSPITCHER
"This is a wonderful staple of the Pennsylvania Coal Region. It's the traditional 'sweet and sour'. Delicious on a hamburger bun."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground beef
1 medium
onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons
white vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons
brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup
salt and pepper to taste
hamburger buns
Omit the ketchup and substitute tomato sauce for ketchup (do this with everything involving ketchup to avoid 'high fructose' corn syrup) and you have a winner!
I made this a few months back (weird, my review seems to have vanished) for my boys (as in husband and two kids) as they like any kind of meat dish you slap into a bun. I did add a mess of fresh minced garlic but I made no other changes. My husband thought it could use a little more "umph" but the two boys liked it okay. This is pretty much a simple sloppy joe. If I made this again, I'd play around with the recipe a bit.
265 Ratings
This recipe is delicious as written. If you are worried about too much sugar, simply omit the brown sugar. Changing the ketchup to tomato sauce totally alters the taste.
I'm from NE PA so I really though this was real barbecue growing up. This is just like my mother's recipe and a staple at all of our family gatherings. So easy with great results AND you basically always have these ingredients on hand. As some other reviewers added, green peppers are a good addition if you have on hand but not a necessity.
I have been making this recipe for years (except that I also add 1.5 T of worchestershire sauce) and it is a family favorite.
Fantastic! Came across this recipe when I was bored with making hamburgers and spaghetti sauce. It's a sloppy-joe like meal, but with a totally different taste. Very sweet/sour, will definitely make again!
It's an easy sloppy joe recipe. I tripled the filling and froze it for future quick dinners.
Terrific barbecue sandwiches! This isn't the typical barbecue beef we are used to as it isn't tomatoey, smoky, or peppery, but it is great. I let this simmer about an hour and only used 1/2 an onion and added 1/2 tsp onion powder to make up the difference. I had to use cider vinegar instead of white. So much better than manwich as my husband said. He even ate two!

A second man is charged with the 2009 murder of a South Cumminsville teen.
In the summer of 2009, Mark Hooten, 16, was on his way to a job training program at St. Pius Church when he was shot and killed on Borden Street.
His murder was unsolved for two and a half years.
Then in February of 2012, a Hamilton County grand jury indicted 20-year-old Racheon Brown, II, in his death.
Brown was already in state prison on unrelated charges at the time of the murder indictment.
But at the time of the crime, witnesses had told police there were two shooters. The other man remained unidentified.
On Tuesday, Antwan Nelson, 21, was arrested and charged with one count of murder in the death of Mark Hooten.
Officers believe Nelson was the second shooter.
Both Nelson and Brown are in the Hamilton County jail. Nelson's bond was set at $250,000 during his arraignment on Wednesday morning. Brown was scheduled to go on trial for Hooten's death on Monday.

A deal to end the National Football League's lockout is almost complete, according to an NFL source.
According to the source, owners and players were close to an agreement today to end the lockout, which entered its 86th day today.
Some coaches and players have been contacted about returning to work probably early next week and possibly as soon as this weekend.
The two sides were meeting secretly in Manhattan the last three days. Included in those meetings were Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Commissioner Roger Goodell, Judge Arthur Boylan and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith.
The group reportedly met last week in Chicago.
This means that the season is expected to begin, as scheduled on Thursday, Sept. 8, when the New Orleans Saints play at Green Bay.

It's not what you'd expect. The 5-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year dunking black gnats and wax worms. He ain't playin. He's serious. It's been this way since he was a lanky kid pestering Kalamazoo's panfish population. Frankly, it's one of the outdoor experiences that are a part of him. He loves it.
"I go bluegill fishing a bunch. Through the ice. Middle of summer. It doesn't matter. The lake my dad lives on, not too far from my house, is loaded with giants. And we hammer them. Ask Zona. There ain't nothing like it," says VanDam, with his signature intensity.
"In April, we use bobbers to float the artificial black gnat flies and wax worms when the bluegills are suspended over weedbeds. Then, as spring progresses, the bluegills move deeper, so we lose the bobbers, and throw a mini crappie tube jig and wax worms in 8 – 20' of water. We cast out and let it slow fall through the water column," said the 3-time Bassmaster Classic champion.
"By July, they move to the deep flats and we use a two hook drop shot rig with a red worm and a wax worm. We catch a pile of bluegills measuring 7 – 9", and occasionally we'll catch a rare trophy 10-incher," said VanDam.
When a 3-time Bassmaster Classic champion goes bluegill-busting, the equipment he chooses is a tad beyond ordinary. VanDam uses 4-pound fluorocarbon line, which is about as easy to work with as a spider's web.
So here's a tip. Do what KVD does. Break out a big spinning reel to catch these 9" trophies. A Quantum Kinetic model KT30PTi-B spinning reel has a larger spool than the typical panfish reel. The larger spool makes the ultra thin, 4-pound fluorocarbon much easier to manage. It kinks far less on a larger spool and you're able to enjoy the stealthy, faster-sinking benefits of 4-pound line for catching deep bluegills.
VanDam has cooking tips too. First, scrape the scales of them. Next, leave the remaining skin in tact with the fillets – it adds flavor. Then Kevin soaks them in Sprite, and once wet with the soda pop, he dips them in Uncle Buck's fish batter. Now ready for cooking, a Cajun Fryer makes the perfect vat for KVD's canola oil. He heats the oil to a temperature of 325-degrees and dips each battered fillet for 2-minutes of cooking.
Bluegills are relatively easy to catch, and subsequently, many people have been hooked on fishing by this particular species. The best news, starting this Saturday, June 5th, just about every state in America is participating in National Fishing and Boating Week's Free Fishing Days. If your state is participating, and it most likely is, then you can fish for free – no fishing license required. Be sure to check your state's fisheries department's website.
You and your kids don't have to take bluegills as seriously as VanDam. For you, it may just be a bobber, a bowl of nightcrawlers and a Zebco 33® close to the bank. Fun is guaranteed. Memories will be made. And who knows, a shared bluegill catching fest this coming Saturday might just be the foundation for a future Bassmaster Classic champion.

Romney Gains, Obama Faithful Throw Fits
The Battleground Poll, a bipartisan poll taken last week, in addition to showing that Mitt Romney has a 52 percent to 45 percent advantage among middle class voters, is projecting Romney will defeat Barack Obama by a 52 percent to 47 percent margin.
Pollster Ed Goeas said that while a strong voter turnout effort might help Obama close the gap "reports from the field would indicate that not to be the case and Mitt Romney may well be heading to a decisive victory."
Romney now has a majority favorable rating of 52 percent to 51 percent.: Romney is viewed favorably by 59 percent of independents, 57 percent of seniors, 61 percent of married voters, 56 percent of mothers, 54 percent of college graduates, 56 percent of middle class voters, and 61 percent of middle class families.
If Romney wins by 5 percent or more, it increases Republican chances of winning control of the Senate by helping elect GOP Senate candidates in Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.: "Republicans are now certain to hold the House, regardless of how the presidential race turns out" Goeas added.
The poll revealed that only 37 percent of voters believe the country is headed in the right direction.: Traditionally, to win reelection, an incumbent president needs that number to exceed 40 percent.
Said Goeas: "Everyone but the core Democratic constituencies holds the strongly held feeling that the country is off on the wrong track."
The Gallup poll shows Romney up 50 percent to 46 percent.
Rasmussen has Romney holding a 49 percent to 47 percent advantage.
The latest polling shows Romney leading in Ohio 50 percent to 48 percent.
In an attempt to motivate his base, while on MSNBC Obama announced that a second term would be 'mandate' for tax increases:
"If we won, then I believe that's a mandate for doing it in a balanced way.: We can do some more cuts, we could look at how we deal with the health care costs in particular under Medicaid and Medicare in a serious way, but we are also going to need some revenue."
Meanwhile, a new ad featuring children "of the future" shows them singing about the aftermath of a Romney presidency.: A world where sick people are left to "just die," the atmosphere is "frying," gays can be "fixed" and "oil fills the sea.": The children blame "mom and dad" for all the horrors.
In Alta Loma California, vandals keyed the word "Obama" into two cars and slashed seats in another outside a residence displaying Mitt Romney campaign signs.
A neighbor, who also has a Romney/Ryan sign in their front yard, had "Obama" keyed into of their SUV.
At a Tea Party gathering on Saturday, a loud and enthusiastic crowd hoping to put Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in the White House saw a truck with "Obama" stickers drive through the parking lot and dump large quantities of nails.
While Mitt Romney gains in the polls, Obama's faithful are resorting to abusive, childish, hateful antics.

AJAX Call, Online User List Confliction
Know how SitePoint has an online user list? Well, the problem is when using AJAX the user online list will show what page the user is viewing that the AJAX is being loaded from, so if I am currently on a profile page that has a AJAX request to a topic page, the online user list will say I'm currently viewing the topic page instead of the profile page, how do I deter this and still have the AJAX call do its job but make sure the users location on the online user list is correct and isn't where the AJAX is being called? This is especially important when AJAX is used on every page.
I would like to use jQuery to fix this, if possible.
I am using the ZetaBoards forum software, if that matters.

Archer William is a great name. I like Archer, which is quite unique right now, paired with a solid, traditional middle. It sort of grounds it... Archer Lincoln just feels like too much. Jack is the new Brian... it is so trendy, it seems like every friend is naming their baby Jack (it was even on the short list for my nephew). Plus, Jack just feels like such a nn. I love that Archer feels like a complete name with some nns... Archie, Arch, Ari, etc.Emiliana Pari Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia, Raphael

Hanover investigators are working to solve a Christmas day murder, the county's first homicide of the year. Keith Wood, 53, is charged with first degree murder of George Teal, 49.
Investigators say the violence broke out at Wood's home on the 8,000 block of Peaks Road in Mechanicsville. Teal suffered brutal trauma to his head and body. Investigators say they found Teal on the floor, unresponsive. Officials aren't commenting at this point on exactly how the victim was brutalized, or if any weapons were used.
Teal was rushed to VCU Medical Center, where he later died.
Investigators say the Wood and Teal knew each other.
Vicki Farmer, a neighbor in the area, says severe crimes like this are uncommon for Hanover County. This was the year's first homicide.
"Murder is very unusual around here," said Farmer.
Sources say an alcohol-fueled fight may have led to the violence. However, investigators aren't confirming specifics.
Wood is being held, without bond at Pamunkey Regional Jail. No other suspects are being sought in connection to this case.

These were great! Made a few changes...because we like our food spicy, used 2 T. chopped jalapenos in place of the milder green chilies. Omitted the red pepper because we don't care for it. And added 3 T. chopped cilantro and an extra avocado. Didn't find Bibb or Boston lettuce at the store this week, but used iceberg with good results.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — On Nov. 1, 2013, all households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will see a reduction in their levels because of legislation passed by the U.S. Congress in 2010. Benefits for a family of four will be cut by $36 a month, and the average benefit level will drop to less than $1.40 per person per meal.
This message is getting national attention. It is going to increase traffic at food pantries, soup kitchens, and tailgate distributions.
To a family making $100,000 a year that is about 45 minutes of pay. To a family making $50,000 a year it's about 1.5 hours of pay.
To a family trying to live on a full-time job making $9 per hour, that is half a day's pay. Considering it takes approximately $17 per hour for a family of three to earn a living wage in east central Indiana, the economic recovery we have been experiencing seems a little further away from reality for over 74,000 people in our region who struggle to put food on the table.
I wonder how many names of struggling families are known by our federal legislators. I wonder how many names are known who have written significant checks. Each has one vote. I don't know exactly how much the legislators earn, but I doubt that many would feel the pinch if they lost $36 this month, I don't know that for sure, but I think I'm safe with that.
Whether you agree that we should help struggling people or we should let 'em fend for themselves is a debate and an attitude that goes back a few thousand years ago. I know what I am called to do. The hundreds of pantry volunteers feel that call. Many of you feel the same call and have stepped up as well.
In our recent Annual Agency Conference many expressed the concern of more people needing assistance in the coming year. This struggle is less about food and more about a job that covers living expenses versus something less. Food becomes one of those compromises families have to make because of the job situation, or lack thereof.
I drive a small car, so $36 is a tank full of gas that will cover my need most of the week. If I get a sandwich and a drink for lunch then $36 is about the cost for a week. Some days I get by for about $3 if I get something off the dollar menu, but don't tell my doctor.
It costs more than $36 if I go to the doctor and I have insurance, so I may not go as often, but don't tell my wife. All those decisions are up to me because I have the $36 in my pocket, but what if that were taken away? If I was marginally getting by or struggling, then what would it mean? If I would ask what this cut accomplished by the people who voted for it, they would probably say I saved the taxpayers $36. But who among us is sacrificing for this savings?

This Saturday July 6, the UFC is live in Las Vegas for UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman. In the night's co-main event, Frankie Edgar (15-4-1 MMA; 9-4-1 UFC) takes on Charles Oliveira (16-3(1) MMA; 4-3(1) UFC). This Featherweight fight is the fourth of five on the UFC 162 PPV card. The UFC rankings have Edgar as the #3 contender at Featherweight, with Oliveira unranked. UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman airs live on PPV this Saturday July 6, with the main PPV card beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT.
In a stacked card, this is perhaps a slightly odd choice for the co-main event. This one seems built primarily as a showcase fight for Edgar. The former UFC Lightweight champion is looking for a rebound win here, and the less experienced, but still dangerous Oliveira got the call up. This will be a battle of Edgar's wrestling and boxing vs. Oliveira's jiu jitsu - a classic MMA battle of styles.
How do these two stack up?
Edgar: 31 years old | 5'6" | 68" reach
Oliveira: 23 years old | 5'10" | 73" reach
What have these two done recently?
Edgar: L - Jose Aldo (UD) | L - Ben Henderson (SD) | L - Ben Henderson (UD)
Oliveira: L - Cub Swanson (KO) | W - Jonathan Brookins (Sub) | W - Eric Wisely (Sub)
How did these two get here?
There was once a time when Frankie Edgar was UFC Lightweight champion and had only 1 blemish on his pro career - a loss to Gray Maynard which he had avenged in spectacular fashion. But the past few years have not been kind to The Answer, who has lost 3 in a row now (and has only won one fight since summer 2010). After losing the belt to Ben Henderson, he made the drop to Featherweight, losing to Jose Aldo. There are many who still consider Edgar one of the best in the world, but he needs to prove it again, and he needs to do it right now.
More on UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman
Charles Oliveira came to the UFC as a young jiu jitsu prodigy. Liek Edgar, he started his career strong, going 14-0, but has struggled lately, winning 2 of his last 6. When he wins, it's incredible, highlight reel stuff, as Eric Wisely and the calf slicer clearly showed. But when he's off, he has shown himself to be susceptible to big, powerful fighters. He's currently 2-1 since making the drop down to Featherweight, but it also should be noted that he failed to make weight in his last outing against Swanson.
Why should you care?
Edgar is in a dire, must-win situation here, and he's the kind of tenacious fighter who I suspect will turn it on with his back to the wall. This could be really good.

The Jerk is a 1979 American comedy film. Directed by Carl Reiner, the film was written by Steve Martin, Carl Gottlieb and Michael Elias. This was Steve Martin's first starring role in a feature film. The film also features Bernadette Peters, M. Emmet Walsh, and Jackie Mason.
The film begins with Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin), a befuddled homeless simpleton, directly addressing the camera and telling his story. He is the adopted white son of black sharecroppers, who grows to adulthood naïvely unaware of his obvious adoption. He stands out in his family not just because of his skin color, but also because of his utter lack of rhythm when his adopted family plays spirited blues music. He is teased (although gently) by his brothers for liking stereotypical white food and he admits to not really liking the blues music his family dances to. One night, he hears the staid and starchy Roger Wolfe Kahn Orchestra song called "Crazy Rhythm" on the radio and his feet spontaneously begin to move with the urge to dance; he sees this as a calling and decides to hitchhike to St. Louis, from where the song was broadcast. On the way, he stops at a motel, where a dog wakes him up by barking at his door. Navin thinks the dog is trying to warn of a fire and decides to name the dog "Lifesaver." He wakes up the other hotel guests to rescue them, but when everyone realizes it was a false alarm, one of the guests angrily suggests he call the dog "Shithead," ("Stupid" in edited version) which Navin takes literally.
Navin gets a job (and a place to sleep) at a gas station owned by Mr. Harry Hartounian (Jackie Mason). He's thrilled to find that he's listed in the local phone book, as his name is "in print" for the first time. Not long after, a gun-wielding lunatic (M. Emmet Walsh) randomly flips through the phone book and picks "Johnson, Navin R." as his next victim. As the madman watches through his rifle scope, waiting for a clear shot, Navin fixes the slippery glasses of a customer, Stan Fox (Bill Macy), by adding a handle and a nose brake. Fox offers to split the profits 50/50 with Navin if he can market the invention, then departs. Seizing his chance, the crazed sniper tries to kill Navin, but fails, hitting the oil cans in the station window and a soft-drink machine. The lunatic chases Navin to a traveling carnival, where Navin hides out, eventually getting a job with SJM Fiesta Shows as a weight guesser. While employed there, Navin meets an intimidating daredevil biker named Patty Bernstein (Catlin Adams) and has a sexual relationship with her, finally realizing what his "special purpose" (his mother's euphemism for his penis) is for. He then meets a woman named Marie (Bernadette Peters) and arranges a date with her. Patty confronts them, but Marie knocks her out. While courting, Navin and Marie walk along the beach and sing "Tonight You Belong to Me", with Navin playing the ukulele and Marie on the cornet. Navin and Marie fall in love, but Marie reluctantly decides to leave him because of his lack of financial security. She writes a note and slips out while Navin is in the bath.
At an emotional and financial low, Navin is soon contacted by Stan Fox with exciting news: His glasses invention, now called the Opti-Grab, is selling big and he's entitled to half of the profits. Now extremely rich, he finds and marries Marie, and they buy an extravagant mansion. Their life becomes one of splendor and non-stop partying. However, motion-picture director Carl Reiner (playing himself) files a class action lawsuit against Navin. Reiner claims that the Opti-Grab caused his eyes to be crossed and his resulting poor vision caused the death of a stunt driver in the film he was directing. Nearly 10 million other people have the same vision complaint (including the judge and jury foreman), and are awarded $10 million. Navin sends out each cheque individually and unkindly criticises Marie. She tells him she misses how they were originally, before he got rich. Furious, Navin storms out, picking up random objects from around the room as he goes, saying he doesn't need anything except this, and this and this. (The picture used for the film poster and DVD is of Navin holding the random things he picks up during his exit.) He leaves with the words "What do you think I am? Some kind of jerk?"
Navin is now alone and poor, living on the streets. His story now told, he resigns himself to a life of misery and memories of Marie, but to his joy and amazement, she suddenly appears, along with Navin's family, to take him home. There's more good news: Having carefully invested the small sums of money he sent home throughout the film, his family have become wealthy themselves. They pick him up off the street, and he and Marie move back home into the Johnson's new house — a much larger but identical version of their old, small shack.
The story ends with the entire family dancing on the porch and singing "Pick a Bale of Cotton", with Navin dancing along, now having gained perfect rhythm.
The basic premise comes from a stand-up routine (included on his debut comedy album, Let's Get Small), in which Martin claimed to have been "born a poor black child," and how, after hearing his first Mantovani record, he "decided to become white."

This movie was co-produced by William E. McEuen, the first of many films to be produced by William McEuen. McEuen is best known as the producer of several of his brother John McEuen's early albums with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.[citation needed] Steve Martin wrote the part of "Marie" with Bernadette Peters in mind.[3]
A box office smash earning over $73 million[2] (making the movie the 9th highest-grossing of 1979) and produced on a modestly low budget of $4 million, The Jerk has been praised as not only one of Steve Martin's best comedic efforts, but also one of the funniest of all motion pictures: In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted The Jerk the 48th greatest comedy film of all time. This film is #20 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies" and #89 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs. Premiere magazine voted Steve Martin's performance of Navin Johnson #99 on their list, "The 100 Greatest Performances of All Time." It has an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4] The website IGN ranked the film as the 10th top comedy film of all time.[5]
Critical response[edit]
The New York Times reviewer wrote that The Jerk "is by turns funny, vulgar and backhandedly clever, never more so than when it aspires to absolute stupidity. And Mr. Martin, who began his career with an arrow stuck through his head, has since developed a real genius for playing dumb... Even when it's crude — which is quite a lot of the time — it's not mean-spirited... Mr. Martin and his co-star, Bernadette Peters, work very sweetly together, even when they sing a duet of 'Tonight You Belong to Me,' carrying sweetness to what could easily have become an intolerable extreme."[6]

Angels shortstops making choice tough
Izturis, Aybar both putting on strong showing in Cactus League
TEMPE, Ariz. -- They're so intertwined in Angels camp this spring, they might as well answer to Erick Maicer Aybar Izturis.Erick Aybar and Maicer Izturis are friends who want the same thing: the shortstop role on manager Mike Scioscia's lineup card. Aybar and Izturis both have had exceptional Cactus League performances, doing their best to justify the faith management placed in their talents when it shipped Gold Glove shortstop Orlando Cabrera to the White Sox in November for starting pitcher Jon Garland. "It's the first time I've had this opportunity," Izturis, a soft-spoken Venezuelan, said as he sat quietly at his locker at Tempe Diablo Stadium. "I'm focused. I don't try to do too much. Like last year, I want to be consistent." Izturis is known as the steadier, more reliable defender, Aybar the more physically gifted, with superior range and a howitzer of an arm. Neither shortstop had committed an error through 22 Cactus League games entering play Thursday. "They're both playing great baseball right now," Scioscia said. "They're playing other positions, too. We'll wait and see how this plays out and make a decision when the time comes." That would be March 31, in Minnesota, when the Angels launch their American League West title defense. Izturis, 27, and Aybar, 24, are running so close, Scioscia might need a photo at the finish line to declare a winner. If there's an edge, it would appear to be found in Izturis' bat. Aybar, however, has shown unexpected power this spring. His two-run homer against the Giants on Thursday was his third in Cactus League play. He's batting .289 with a .372 on-base percentage and a .632 slugging percentage. Izturis, appearing in 11 games, was batting .400, slugging .600 and and getting on base at a .471 clip. Embarking on his fourth season with the Angels after arriving with Juan Rivera from the Nationals in exchange for Jose Guillen following the 2004 season, Izturis has batted .293 and .289 the past two seasons. The Angels had no better clutch hitter in 2008. In 96 at-bats with runners in scoring position, Izturis batted .406, driving home 46 runs, and is a .340 career hitter with runners at second and/or third. He was so productive he batted fifth for a chunk of the season. Hainley Statia, five years younger than Izturis, has made a study of Maicer's game and habits as he attempts to move up the organizational ladder at shortstop.

I am very happy w/ this product. Although the med/dk is more on the lighter side, (very sheer) I can only use it in the winter and I use DK. in summer. Just a tip; keep the plastic film on the powder that way the sponge does not get all gross and transfer bacteria.
Got this as a christmas gift after lemming after it for years. I wasn't disappointed. Let me say, however, I don't wear foundation so I don't know how this works as a setting powder. I have normal skin with a nose that likes to get shiny once in a while. This powder is lovely and I alternate it with one of my normal colored pressed powders.
I am a NC35 and a huge fan of this. I have combination skin which leads to oily spots in the summer. This product really saves my life when it's hot and humid out. I don't really use it in the winter though but still recommend for all season for people with oilier skin.
I have extremely oily skin and I just love this product. It keeps the shinies away. I am pretty light skinned and went with the medium dark color and it is the perfect color for me.
Yep, I see why people love this. Exactly what I needed for my t-zone. I apply during the day with a portable brush, and it keeps me from being too shiny. This is the first face product I have liked by MAC, and I will definately re-purchase.
I like this pressed powder. Its translucent, which i like. When i apply this on my oily t-zone, it removes the shine and does NOT add color (unlike other "translucent" pressed powders i've used). I use Studio fix powder foundation, so my foundation shade is still there, but without oiliness. What sucks is that the compact pad is stored right on top of the powder (which i have to replace the pad more often to avoid bacteria contamination). But overall, the powder is awesome.
this is my favorite powder! i use this to set my foundation & it keeps my oily skin under control. im an nc 35 & this shade is perfect for my skin tone. i rarely have to touch-up throughout the day.

I have been using this for almost 2 years now (repurchased many times) and it's wonderful...completely invisible and never looks cakey or 'powdery' on my NC35 skintone - absorbs oil and keeps me matte for a while. I use the Stila Retractible Powder Brush for this in my makeup bag and it's the perfect combo for touchups. I just wish the compact was a little cuter...I'd love a refillable one, although I get to B2M this in the end, which is always nice.

this powder is fine and it works great in oil controlling......but i'm more looking for a product with a little bit more coverage and finer texture........i don't know if it's just me...but when i touch the powder on the surface it has a very sandy feeling.....if they would mill it finer i would have been really happy.....
UPDATE: went back to it coz it's the cheapest oil controlling powder out there that actually works......i feel so stupid looking for better texture and more expensive powder that does nothing for my skin.........but instead of medium/dark..........i got medium and it does brighten up my skin and even out my skin tone a bit..........it becomes something that i can't live without.........
I'm NC35 and I find that med-dark is too light and dark is too dark. The simplest solution would be to buy both in loose powders and mix them together but I prefer pressed powders, so I just buy med-dark and apply it underneath my foundation (chanel mat lumiere). dark by itself actually makes me look too tanned. my skin is REALLY oily so I don't expect miracles; but so far, this is the best powder at controlling oiliness. for work, i just wear this powder alone, and i can see dots of oil on my pores by noon, but at least its not an oil slick. I use the puff that comes with the compact but i recommend that you change it whenever you see dark spots because it will start to smell really bad once contaminated with sebum.
[update March 2009] I've probably repurchased this powder a billion times now. MAC has discontinued their loose powder version, so I just buy the compact and grind up the powder using a metal fork and put it into a plastic container with sifter and apply with a big fluffly powder brush!!! I might consider mixing this with mineral makeup for an easy one-step application.

I just this afternoon finished writing up an item for the November issue's news pages about an "unwelcome visitor" on a poor guy's boat. Seems he was fishing alongside a jetty in a British Columbia seaport, minding his own business, when a black bear ambled down and then leapt aboard. The angler tossed him a coho salmon, but apparently he wasn't fond of fish. He came after the man and quickly had him pinned to the deck. Then ... well, I can't give it all away, now, can I? You'll find the whole story in the November SF News section.
It did get me thinking about some unwelcome visitors of my own. One of the more distant memories involves my wife - though back then, when we were both undergrads at the University of Florida she had not yet accepted that distinction - who was my angling partner in my Grumman canoe on Orange Lake. The wind had come up and kept pushing the canoe back toward shore after I'd paddle out and we'd make a few casts.
Only this time, we ended up with more than an overhanging branch in the canoe with us. Curled up on the branch just above the water was a fat water moccasin. (No, it wasn't one of the area's many harmless if pugnacious water snakes; it was a cottonmouth with that big ugly pit-viper head.) Long story short, I managed - somehow, without capsizing us - to coax our guest over the side with a paddle before it could show its displeasure by sinking fangs into some body part.
So far I've never had a gator attempt an unauthorized boarding of my kayak, though I do frequently fish among them. Generally they slip quietly beneath the water should my kayak pass their comfort zone; I only fear that I may drift right over a big one (yeah, I've been around 10-footers) in very shallow water. I did encounter one smaller fellow - perhaps 7 feet - in the Banana River a year or so back that insisted on shadowing me, staying within 10 feet or so. That was all it did but after a while the unusual behavior did become disconcerting.
The biggest wild-animal scare I've had in my kayak actually happened twice in the Indian River estuary thanks to a combination of factors, notably that I was fishing pretty murky water about four feet deep - too murky for me to see the bottom or anything over it. And I was fishing my Hobie Outback - among its many paddle-free-propulsion advantages for fishing is total silence. That is, the ingenious blades beneath the kayak that pedals operate make not a sound -- no dip or splash as would a paddle. I recall drifting in a very light breeze while tying a rig and pedaling very slowly on absolutely still waters. Suddenly a depth charge went off beneath my kayak, tossing me up as if I were on a bucking bronco! A huge tail had pushed off when a big normally sedentary manatee suddenly realized something large was moving almost on top of it. My heart was doing the snare-drum thing for several minutes after that.
Still, it could have been worse. Not long ago, a saltwater crocodile leapt into a "tinny," as Australians call their small boats, and helped itself to dinner - pulling the hapless fisherman right over the side. Be glad that you don't fish northern Australia where those big toothy lizards do such things every year. - Doug Olander, Sport Fishing

I have no specific knowledge of that title from the 20's or 30s. While the name is little known today, Vernon Dalhart was the most popular recording artist of that era. The sales numbers for his recordings are impressive by the standards of any era. So statistics point to the possibility that it was Dalhart. Forgive me, but his voice is by far not the best I have ever heard-- just like my own.
Those who asked what I did with the money my Mother gave me for singing lessons were told that it was spent for karate lessons.
