heat loadSorry dan, yesterday I poised a question , how to do a correct heat for hydronic heat ,as if I was a homeowner . The question was, the RIGHT way to do one . Either connected radiation or measure the house ,height of room ,windows and insulation.(This is for hot water not steam) I also check the input of the nozzle to see what is actually doing the job , And have found that the nozzle size is less then the load . My guess, is that the fudge factors are way more then needed. Any help guys.

i think you shouldmeasure the entire house, all windows, doors, and other factors, etc. I wouldnt put too much faith in the nozzle, because it could be the wrong one. Also, who knows how the last boiler was sized...could be over or undersized.
Slant fin has a free program for download
or you could do it manually.
Weil McClain also has some literature for sizing. I actually compared it to some of the heat losses I perfomed and it was pretty close. Dont have a link, but go their website.steveThis post was edited by an admin on May 20, 2012 2:38 PM.

W-M heat loss vs. Slant/Fin program.I am a homeowner, not a contractor. But my contractor did not do a heat loss, and that offended me, so I did mine three different ways.
1.) I had an oil burner with a 1/2 gallon per hour nozzle and it always provided enough heat, so my first heat loss calculation was 70,000 BTU/hour maximum.
2.) Since I was getitng a W-M Ultra 3 to replace the oil burner with gas, I decided to calculate what I needed with the W-M worksheets. These:
When I was done it came up with 36,250 BTU/hour or 41,450 BTU/hour depending on the heat loss downwards from the radiant slab at grade or not. At the time I did not know if that is counted or not with a radiant slab. I am still not sure, but it did not matter.
3.) Then I found the Slant/Fin program and calculated it with that and got 29,234 BTU/hour. That confirmed to me that the smallest W-M Ultra 3 would be the one I got. The installing contractor said they recommended the larger boiler for a margin of safety. I have since figured out that he did not know anything about mod-cons even though he suggested using one.
So for my house, it shows how the methods compare.
1.) After the fact, I could have known method 1 was oversized because the boiler would run 45 seconds, shut off on upper limit for 120 to 150 seconds, and repeat until the thermostat was satisfied. I know I found the rapid cycling annoying because I could hear the boiler run through the wall between my attached garage where the boiler was (and is), and inside the house. Made sleeping difficult.
2.) Method 2 turned out to be good enough because W-M do not make a small enough mod-con. It was enough that I thought about refusing the 105,000 BTU/hour recommended by the installing contractor.
3.) I think this is the most accurate of the three calculation methods. It wanted to know a lot more about the house, like the number and size of the windows, more choices as to the insulation, wall construction, cold and not so cold walls, etc.
My guess is that methods 2 & 3 are also a little too high as well. The cycling of the large radiant zone is acceptable, and the small baseboard is too fast, but much better now that I fiddled around with the controls (reset curve, upper limit on boiler firing rate when heating the baseboard zone, etc.). But basically, since it takes only 6500 BTU/hour when it is 0F and design temperature around here is 14F, there is not much that can be done. More baseboard might be good, so it could heat up the small zone faster (though it does not need to heat faster) and shut the zone off by the thermostat instead of the reset limit. That zone is the entire upstairs. Had I zoned each room separately up there, it would be an improvement to combine the zones.
Should I put snow melting in my driveway and make it part of the upstairs zone? Just kidding.

And then there is DHW:And then there was domestic hot water. That 6500 BTU number is about half of what you get with a 4500 watt element in an electric hot water heater. Put that in a 6 gallon electric hot water heater and try to take a hot shower.
The heating load "sees" design day a few times a year. Domestic potable hot water "sees" design day, every day unless you don't use hot water for a day.
I know that if I ignore DHW heating loads, I will be doing so at my own peril.This post was edited by an admin on May 20, 2012 7:56 PM.

I know that if I ignore DHW heating loads, I will be doing so at my own peril.Yes, but you are a qualified professional and I am only a self-educated homeowner. When I did the heat loss on my house, I found that the smallest boiler I could get in the product line my contractor offered was about twice the size I needed to heat the house. And my hot water needs were modest. So I ignored its needs except to check with the requirements specified by the indirect manufacturer. I got a 36-gallon indirect, and I probably could have gotten away with an even smaller one.
I doubt you would have done any different with my house (you might have picked a different boiler manufacturer, though. You might have installed a buffer tank for the tiny upstairs zone if you could have found a place for it). Because you would have interviewed me about my consumption of hot water, examined my small front-loading washing machine (that I run cold most of the year and sometimes warm in winter; never hot), looked at the dishwasher, the low-flow shower head, and so on.

Chad Lewis pushed across the go-ahead run in the top of the
eighth inning with a two-out single and the Beloit Snappers held the Quad
Cities River Bandits to one hit in a 4-1 win in Midwest League action at
Modern Woodman Park on Monday afternoon.
The victory completes the Snappers first sweep of a four-game road series
since 2008 and they now have a record of 25-18 and a two-game lead in the
Western Division wild card spot. Quad Cities loses their fourth in a row to
slip to 23-20.
The top of the eighth began innocently enough, with two outs sandwiched
around a Renato Nunez (1-3, 2 RBI, run) walk, but a John Wooten single then
moved Nunez to third. That set the stage for Lewis, facing Mitchell Lambson
(1-2), to break the tie. Beloit bought insurance in the ninth, thanks to a
two-run single by Nunez. Brent Powers (2-0) fired hitless ball in the
seventh and eighth and was credited with the victory. Ryan Dull fulfilled
the closer's role in the ninth with a scoreless inning, including a pair of
strikeouts, to wrap up his sixth save.
River Bandits' outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (1-4, run) led-off the bottom of
the first with a single, which led to an unearned run, as he stole second,
took third on a groudout and scored on a Rio Ruiz sacrifice fly. That would
be Quad Cities' only safety of the day. Beloit starter Raul Alcantara
rebounded from that blemish by retiring 15 of 16 from the second inning on,
with only an error allowing a man to reach. In six innings, he didn't walk a
batter and struck out six to go with his six inning, one-hitter. This was
the third time this season Alcantara completed a start allowing only one
For the first five innings, the Snappers were held hitless by Mike
Hauschild, who struck out five while walking two. They managed to plate a
run in the sixth when Bruce Maxwell grounded out with the bases loaded,
tying the game at 1-1. Lewis broke that tie two innings later and set Beloit
up to complete the sweep.
The Snappers will take Tuesday off as they prepare to play the Cedar Rapids
Kernels in a three game series. That series will begin with a Wednesday
evening ballgame at 6:30pm. Beloit will throw RHP Michael Ynoa (0-1, 1.44
ERA) in the opener against RHP Mason Melotakis (3-1, 3.09 ERA). In
anticipation of Wednesday's game, fans can visit the Snappers Facebook page
and Twitter account to vote on special offers that will be available on
Social Media Wednesday. Pohlman Field will also be the site of Cheers Night,
as the organization will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series finale
of this famous show.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A spokesman for Gov. Mary
Fallin says the governor is "inclined" to sign a bill heading to her
desk that would pave the way for a horse slaughtering facility in
Fallin spokesman Aaron Cooper said the governor
would still have to review the bill that was approved in the Senate
Tuesday on a 32-14 vote.
Both the House and Senate have passed bills this
session that would end Oklahoma's 50-year ban on the slaughtering of
horses for human consumption. The sale of horses for human consumption
in Oklahoma still would be prohibited under the bill, but the meat could
be exported.
Animal rights groups have fiercely opposed both
measures, but the bills have been supported by Republicans and rural
Democrats in both chambers.

There are two parts to this passive periphrastic, one adjectival and one a form of the verb to be. The adjectival form is the gerundive - note the "nd" before the ending. The ending is, in this case, feminine, nominative singular, to agree with the noun Carthago, which, like many place names, is feminine.
The agent, or in Cato's case, the person who would be doing the destroying, is expressed by a dative of agent.
Carthago____________Romae__________________ delenda est
Carthage (nom. sg. fem.) [by] Rome (dative case) destroyed (gerundive nom. sg. fem.) 'to be' (3rd sg. present)
Eventually, Cato got his way.
Here's another example: Marc Antony probably thought:
Cicero____________Octaviano__________________ delendus est
Cicero (nom. sg. masc.) [by] Octavianus (dative case) destroyed (gerundive nom. sg. masc.) 'to be' (3rd sg. present)

Cousinpalooza at Pikes Peak! by Cousinpalooza - 12 months ago
"This is a picture of my cousins and I at the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Our grandfather passed away earlier this year, and at the funeral we all decided that we needed to get together every year for a cousin family reunion. Our shirts show a picture of a couch, because our grandfather would line all of us kids up on his couch at every holiday to take our picture, and it says Cousinpalooza in Comic Sans font, because he wrote everything in Comic Sans! I even had a man stop me and say "Excuse me, but what is Cousinpalooza? I keep seeing these shirts everywhere!" Watch out for us in Vegas next year - we're already planning Cousinpocalypse 2014, and we'll design shirts with Pachinko machines, because we all have fond memories playing that game in Grampy's garage. Custom Ink was awesome to work with! Very quick and professional and friendly. "

Albany - You've heard all the jokes about cops and donuts. Well, police say if you can't fight 'em, join 'em.
The "Cops on Donut Shops" fundraiser kicked off Friday. Dougherty County Police and Sheriff's Officers, along with APD, will sit on top of the Krispy Kreme shop over the weekend to raise money for Special Olympics. Even the departments' head honchos took a turn.
Chief Don Cheek says, "I just can't say enough about the benefit that the kids and young people that engage in the program. It's a great community involvement, a great way to support our youth and our communities."
Kristin Caso, with Special Olympics says, "There are 22,000 athletes in this state, competing in special Olympics and it does take money to send them to competitions."
Organizers hope to raise at least $5,000 this year, and you can help with that. If you stop by and donate money, as little as a buck, you'll get a free donut. The event runs through Sunday afternoon.

Ah, Autumn.
Every year as the summer heat wanes and the evenings begin to cool, my favorite fall produce item appears at markets around the Bay Area. Explosions of scarlet and burgundy hues fill the bins where the romano beans and haricot vert had been just the week prior. Cranberry beans have arrived.
Shelling beans of many varieties will be available in the coming weeks and if you have never experienced the velvet smooth texture and tender bite of a fresh bean, now is the time. Easier to shell than peas or fava beans (hence the name) and quick to cook, these beans are an exceptional addition to any autumn meal. When cooked, they are plump and succulent with a texture that is a total departure from any dry bean preparation.
When selecting your beans look for brightly colored, fleshy pods. As the shells get thin and the colors fade, the beans are beginning their drying process. The beans inside will still be fresh but may be slightly discolored. When the pods have more green in them they will be a little more difficult to shell and the beans inside will be pale with fewer speckles. It is almost as if as the beans mature the colors are magically transferred from the shells to the beans inside.
Cranberry beans are perhaps the most common variety of shelling beans and my personal favorite. The same preparation techniques apply to all shelling beans so you may substitute any of them in the following recipes.
Cranberry Bean Ragout
-2 cups shelled cranberry beans
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1/2 cup diced onion
-1/2 cup diced carrot
-1/2 cup diced celery
-3 whole cloves of garlic
-1 bay leaf
-1 quart vegetable stock (chicken stock or any light broth will work as well)
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan large enough to accommodate two quarts. Sauté the onions for a couple of minutes until they begin to be translucent. Add the carrots, celery and garlic and continue to cook for a couple more minutes. Add the beans and stir to coat them with the aromatics and to warm them.
Add enough stock to cover the mixture by an inch. Bring this to a simmer and then reduce the heat to simmer gently for 45 minutes to an hour. Fresh beans cook much more quickly than dried and require no soaking because the water mother nature put in is still there. This is what gives all shelling beans their delicate mouthfeel.
The Ragout is done when the beans begin to burst and are tender. Season to taste and cool them in their liquid. This dish can be a side or the center of the plate with a piece of grilled fish or roasted meat.
This basic recipe is just a launch pad. Any number of flavors may be added to personalize the dish and to tie it into whatever else will be served. The end result will be a creamy bean Ragout with the viscosity of baked beans but a fresh, bright flavor.
Heirloom Tomato and Cranberry Bean Salad
Because the cranberry bean season starts while the tomato season is still going strong this recipe is a favorite of mine. The beans are cooked the same as above except the aromatic vegetables are left in big chunks so the may be removed after cooking. The beans are then tossed with the marinade ingredients while they are still hot. This process, called forced marination, allow the beans to absorb the maximum amour of potential flavor as they cool. In this version I use lemon juice for the acid and sage for the herbal component but your favorite vinegar and herbs may be substituted.
-2 cups shelled beans
-1 onion, quartered
-1 carrot, scrubbed and quartered
-1 stalk of celery, quartered
-4 whole cloves of garlic
-1 tablespoon of olive oil for sauté
-1 quart vegetable or other stock
-1 teaspoon lemon zest
-2 or more tablespoons lemon juice
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-2 heirloom tomatoes, cut into large dice
-2 tablespoons freshly chopped sage
-salt and pepper to taste
In a large sauce pan sweat the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to release their aromatic qualities. Add the cranberry beans to coat and then cover by one inch with the stock. Bring this mixture up to a light boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender.
After 45 minutes or so, when the beans are tender but not bursting, remove from the heat.
Drain the hot beans and pour them out on a sheet pan, reserving the broth for another use (it makes a great addition to almost any soup recipe). Quickly pick out the aromatic vegetable chunks and then place the still hot beans in a mixing bowl.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and sage and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper and allow to cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally to allow all the beans a fair chance at absorbing the flavors.
Once cool, add the tomatoes and a little more sage to brighten the herbal qualities. If you are a garlic lover some raw garlic can be added at this point.
This salad is a great accompaniment to a grilled steak or chop or can be served as a salad. Some arugula or other green can be tossed in just before serving.
Don't miss this years shelling bean season! Once you have tried them you will wait with baited breath as I do each year for the first bushels to arrive at market.

El Paso Chihuahuas season tickets selling like hot dogs
Updated On: Jan 16 2014 07:38:58 PM CST
If you're in search of a popular Christmas present idea, you may want to consider season tickets for the El Paso Chihuahuas.
According to the Triple-A baseball team's general manager, the demand for seats in the new ballpark has been overwhelming.
The new Downtown ballpark, which is just over four months from its scheduled completion, is expected to have about 7,500 fixed seats.
Team officials said a big chunk of those seats have already been sold for the upcoming inaugural season.
"I think El Paso is putting itself on the map as the number one place for minor league baseball," El Paso Chihuahuas General Manager Brad Taylor said. "I really believe that. We just had our first seating selection events this past week. Those that have been gracious enough to join us as season ticket holders have gotten to select their seats and the response has been very impressive."
So how many seats have they sold?
The Ballpark's luxury suites, all 23 of them, are sold out. In fact, there is a waiting list now. Club seats are sold out as well. Taylor said they've sold more than 1,000 season tickets and hope to sell more than 2,000 by the time they open the season in April.
"When you look at 7,500 or so fixed seats on a nightly basis, there will be a healthy number of season ticket holders there," Taylor said. "Of course, it's our job to fill the rest with group outings involving churches, students, charity groups and the individual ticket buyer."
Of the 16 Pacific Coast League cities, El Paso is the largest population-wise, with nearly 700,000 potential baseball fans. Four PCL cities drew more than half a million fans last season. ABC-7 asked Taylor whether that's possible in El Paso.
"I think it's possible," he said. "It's something to shoot for. You talk about that being one percent of the population of El Paso (7,000 fans a night). It's going to be an unbelievable facility that is just going to be one of the top ones in the country and it's here in El Paso."
Taylor was quick to point out there are still plenty of season ticket seat options available for the Chihuahuas starting at just over $400 a seat.
He also told ABC-7 they have had "significant interest from several different groups" about purchasing the naming rights for El Paso's new Ballpark. The team will provide more information in the upcoming weeks, Taylor said.

The move represents only minimal salary cap savings for Carolina because they have to account for the remaining prorated portion of the $7 million signing bonus he received in 2011. Anderson has spent all six NFL seasons with the Panthers, starting 43 games over the past three years at strong side linebacker. He started 12 games last year and had 73 tackles but no sacks or interceptions.
Anderson left Sunday's game against Kansas City with an eye injury||||||| It was unclear when Anderson was hurt.
Anderson, the team's starting strongside linebacker and leading tackler, is active after rolling his ankle two days ago.||||||| Anderson seems like a safe play in IDP leagues.

Sky's the limit for teenage climber
5:08pm Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News
THE SKY is the limit for a college student who has been selected to join the Great Britain Junior Climbing Team.
Natasha Allcock, a first year student at Worcester Sixth Form College, has been selected to join the Great Britain Junior Climbing Team after finishing in fifth place at the British Bouldering Championships.
Bouldering involves climbing, without a rope, to a maximum height of about 4.5 metres.
The 16-year-old follows a rigorous training schedule which involves four to five sessions a week at Boulder Central in West Bromich as well as four fitness and conditioning sessions.
As well as dedicating time to her training, Miss Allcock is also studying for AS levels in physical education, geography and biology at the sixth form college on Spetchley Road.
Natasha is also a talented and enthusiastic member of the College's Athletics Academy.
She said: "This will give me the opportunity to climb at European competitions such as the European Youth Cup against top athletes in my category.
"Indoor bouldering is a fun social sport that is accessible to anyone of any ability and I would recommend giving it a try."
Principal Michael Kitcatt said: "We are proud of Natasha's sporting achievement and the fact that she has managed to combine such a demanding training and performance schedule with academic study.
"I am sure that she has a great future and wish her the very best in forthcoming European competition."

↵The Opening Pitch: I was so excited to vote in the SN poll about which Super Bowl matchup you wanted to see. It seemed obvious to me: ↵↵
↵It's GOT to be Saints-Jets, right? ↵
↵After all, the Saints in the Super Bowl would be one of the best sports stories ever -- the NFL's historical exemplar of failure finally making it to the pinnacle. (Beating Brett Favre to do it? Just a bonus.) ↵↵
↵And the Jets in the Super Bowl means that they would have beaten the Colts in Indianapolis, among the more crushing defeats you will ever see -- but not undeserved, given the way the Colts decided, institutionally, to throw the game in Week 16. (Plus: Can you imagine Rex Ryan during Super Bowl week? It would be a feast of entertainment.) ↵↵
↵Well, I voted ... and my must-see pairing came in last, with a piddling 8 percent of the vote. The most popular matchup: Colts-Vikings. ↵↵
↵Nooooo! ↵↵
↵Really? You really want two weeks of Favre? You really want two weeks of Manning? By the end of the first week -- that's before we've even gotten to Miami -- you will be so sick of them. (As if you aren't already!) ↵↵
↵Saints-Colts? That's what Tunison predicts will happen, and at least that gives the Saints their Super shot and includes what is arguably the NFL's best team. (See: I'm not entirely a Colts-hater.) ↵↵
↵But it's not just about who is most worthy -- it's about who you want to see. ↵↵
↵And I can't help it: As much as I want to see the Saints in the Super Bowl, I want to see Favre and Manning lose this weekend. ↵↵
↵How about you? Vote in the poll and leave your preferred matchup in the Comments below. ↵↵
↵NFL Conf Champ Week: The Jets' D is getting all the love right now, but when you read the scouts' take for SN, you are reminded that the Colts' D is pretty good, too. And are coming off stifling an offense not unlike the one the Jets run. ↵↵
↵Rex Ryan speaks (again): "We are built to last the whole fight." No coach in the NFL gives better quotes than Rex Ryan. As it was against the Chargers, if the Jets can keep it low-scoring and close early, they will have a chance. (Still: Doesn't take much for Peyton to put up a quick TD or two.) ↵↵
↵NFL Good Read: Was Chan Gailey a dud hire for the Bills? Florio makes the argument it was a solid call by the team. ↵↵
↵CBB Mania: Wichita St gets a huge win over mid-major flavor of the month Northern Iowa. Could the Missouri Valley Conference be angling to get both teams into the NCAA Tournament? ↵↵
↵Jim Calhoun taking L.O.A.: It may only be "temporary," but he wouldn't exit in the middle of the season if it wasn't serious. Getting past the health issues, the question is: How much will the team be impacted by it? ↵↵
↵NBA Talking Points: I like Shaq's idea of bringing together LeBron, Kobe and VC for a dunk contest to benefit Haiti. What feels strange is that Shaq wants to divide the prize money: Half for Haiti, half for the winner. Like a couple million bucks would matter to any of those players? Or that they could ever take that money? The entire pot of cash should go to Haiti -- in fact, that would make it a lot harder for the three of them to say no. (But guaranteed: They'll say no. How about just a dunk exhibition?) ↵↵
↵All-Star Voting: AI has every right to play in the game if he is voted in by the fans as a starter -- all the more so if this really will be his final year in the league. He has earned the All-Star swan song. (So "Boo" to you, Billups.) ↵↵
↵Arenas Update: I find it hard to believe that the team has had no discussions yet about voiding Gilbert's contract. I suspect that they know it is in their best interests that the perception be that they have had no discussions yet about voiding Gilbert's contract. ↵↵
↵MLB Hot Stove: If any player is worth a record value in arbitration, it would be Tim Lincecum. ↵↵
↵Good Read: SN Q&A with Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik, who has been at the helm of the most active team of the offseason -- from Figgins to Felix. ↵↵
↵Lane Kiffin Watch: You knew that there had to be something like this that Kiffin left behind in Knoxville. ↵↵
↵The Last Word: The hottest name in basketball? Ayla Brown. That's the daughter of Massachusett's Senator-Elect Scott Brown. She was formerly known for her run on "American Idol," but last night, her dad was boasting about her hoops ability. ↵↵

Society for Propagation of Gospel v. Town of PawletAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Society for Propagation of Gospel v. Town of Pawlet, 29 U.S. 4 Pet. 480 480 (1830)
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel v. Town of Pawlet
29 U.S. (4 Pet.) 480
Ejectment to recover a lot of land, being the first division lot laid out to the right of the society in the Town of Pawlet. The plaintiffs are described in the writ as
"The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, a corporation duly established in England within the dominions of the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the members of which society, are aliens, and subjects of the said King."
The defendants pleaded the general issue of not guilty. The general issue admits the competency of the plaintiffs to sue in the corporate capacity in which they have sued.
If the defendants meant to insist on the want of a corporate capacity in the plaintiff's to sue, it should have been insisted upon by a special plea in abatement or bar. Pleading to the merits has been held by this Court to be an admission of the capacity of the plaintiffs to sue. The general issue admits not only the competency of the plaintiffs to sue, but to sue in the particular action which they bring.
In the record there is abundant evidence to establish the right of the corporation to hold the land in controversy. It is given to them by the royal charter of 1761 which created the Town of Pawlet. The society is named among the grantees, as "The Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, to whom one share is given." This is a plain recognition by the Crown of the existence of the corporation and of its capacity to take. It would confer the power to take the land even if it had not previously existed.
The statutes of limitation of Vermont interpose no bar to the institution by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, &c., of an action for the recovery of the land in controversy.
The plaintiffs are a foreign corporation, the members of which are averred to be aliens and British subjects, and the natural presumption is that they are residents abroad.
The act of the Legislature of Vermont, which prohibits the recovery of mesne profits in certain cases, applies to the claims to such profits by the plaintiffs in this suit, and the provisions of the treaty of peace of 1783, and those of the treaty with Great Britain in 1794, do not interfere with the provisions o

Clubs offer a packed Easter weekend
11:25am Friday 11th April 2014 in News
A BIG Easter weekend party with a well-known DJ is on the horizon at two popular clubs.
Radio 1's lunchtime DJ Scott Mills will be the main draw at Tramps in Angel Place, Worcester, when the presenter performs an hour-long set on Saturday, April 19 followed by a meet and greet session with his adoring fans.
Tramps teams up with Velvet to kick things off with Spring Fest on Thursday, April 17, offering five rooms of music across the two venues before Velvet goes it alone for 80s, 90s and 00s night on Friday, April 18.
Finally, Tramps will be transformed into a chocolate factory on Sunday, April 20 for the free Willy Wonka Chocolate Party full of confetti cannons, a balloon drop, chocolate fountains and much more.
Dean Hill, Tramps director, said: "Easter weekend is great because for most people they get four days off, that gives us an excuse to put on some unforgettable nights. I'm especially looking forward to having yet another Radio 1 DJ in for a live set.
"It shows people that Worcester is a top place to go to for a night out. Willy Wonka Chocolate Party will be fun also as people love to dress up and get involved. I'm expecting to see a real effort from Worcester as always."

Yoshi's Story Nintendo 64
- Publisher: Nintendo

- Critic Score

- Publication
- Most clicked
Mischief Makers dropped some hints about what the N64 can do in 2-D, but Yoshi's Story pushes the boat out so far it''s run ashore on the other side ... but once you've got past the initial sense of ''ahh, isn''t that sweet'' it doesn''t take long before all that sugar rots your teeth and sets your stomach a-churning.
Where most titles stress the importance in challenge in completing a level, Yoshi's Story emphasizes challenge in exploration--something rarely done in two-dimensional games. While Yoshi's Story isn't Yoshi's Island II, it is another shining example of simple, unadulterated entertainment in gaming.
Not everyone is going to like Yoshi's Story. I do. It's Yoshi. It's easy, but it's fun.
Yoshi's Story is a fun game. At its best, the level design is right up there with the original Mario games and it impresses with innovative control, great graphics and original levels. But at other times, Yoshi is an unchallenging romp through levels that reek of recycled game ideas, derivative layout, and clueless enemies.
In the short term at least it's fun, very good fun in fact, and excellent for those retro fans who are desperate for a 2D platforming fix. Just don't expect to be playing it a year from now.
There's a pervading feeling of trying to keep yourself busy (almost like a cat playing with a mouse) than being kept on your toes by your foes.In the end, Yoshi's Story is good for a rental at best.
You may find that Yoshi's Story can be a wonderfully irresistible experience. It's like Super Mario Bros. 2 in that it's quite a bit different from the usual Mario fare. Many people loved Super Mario Bros. 2, whereas some didn't. That will be the case here as well.

Feb 21, 2013An often over-looked title on the Nintendo 64, Yoshi's Story would be the last 2D-platformer (sort of) to be made by Nintendo for a long time. It resembles Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in many ways, with the big-snouted dinosaurs serving as the game's protagonists. Being a 2D-platformer in a console generation with 3D in mind, this game tries to make up for the missing dimension by having some of the levels resemble a Metroid-ish maze, but it rarely works out all that well. Rather than having a flagpole, a bar or anything like that to finish the level, in Yoshi's Story you have to collect fruit in order to advance through the game. At first this seems like a fresh breath of air, but frantically searching through the entire level in hopes of finding the last watermelon or banana gets old really fast. That said, the game's graphics are absolutely adorable and so is the music. The contemporary Super Mario 64 is a much stronger pick, and so are the two Super Mario World titles, but Yoshi's Story has a certain nostalgic value attached to it, nonetheless.… Full Review »
Dec 12, 2012I really did like Yoshi's Island, but even at 14 this game was just too childish and the music was seriously stuff you'd hear in a nursery. I will admit though for a much younger Yoshi fan this game actually is somewhat fun to play, but I got terribly annoyed with most of the levels… Full Review »
Jun 10, 2012Yoshi's Story is an amazing game, it is sweet and short, fans of all ages both Mario and video game fans will surely enjoy this cute and classic game. The game's amazing soundtrack, beautiful original visuals and great gameplay will capture your interest in playing this game for many years to come.… Full Review »

text: Ronald DeFeo, Sr., had attained a trophy-size piece of the American dream when he purchased the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island. Having been born and raised in Brooklyn, Ronald had worked hard in his father-in-law's Brooklyn Buick dealership, and after many years began to reap rich benefits. Money was no longer a concern when he finally made the decision to leave the City and move to Long Island. The home he chose was a classic piece of Americana, two stories plus an attic, several rooms, and a boathouse on the Amityville River. There was plenty of room for him, his wife Louise; and four children. A signpost in the front yard read "High Hopes," a testament to what the new home had symbolized for the DeFeos.

I'm going to admit something that is not easy to do.
I lost my job in the 2008 economic collapse.
OK, right about now I've confused many of you who read the headline, and the first two sentences, and were ready to hear me admit I have an unhealthy obsession with sports. I might still, but we have a lot of ground to cover.
The last seven days have been really hard for anyone who truly cares about UCLA Athletics. Friday, the UCLA Men's Basketball team was embarrassed by the LMU Lions at home. To make matters worse, Josh Smith increased our humiliation by insulting the integrity of the very men that beat us fair and square. Saturday, the UCLA Football team was demolished by the Utah Utes, in what has become a form of predictable and routine form of ignomy. Yesterday we learned Reeves Nelson is unhappy and talking about leaving the team. According to reports, Ben Howland has granted his wish and suspended him from the team.
It really makes me wonder why I even bother caring.
Well, in January of 2008 I was working a boring, comfortable corporate job in broadcast television when I was let go. It was particularly painful because we had just wrapped up a two year run for a live television show I was a part of. We were led to believe the show was going to be reconcieved and brought back after a short hiatus. And, just like that, it was over. Luckily and by the grace of God, 6 months later I heard from a guy I used to work with about some work at the NFL Network and I jumped at the chance. In many ways, I was one of the lucky ones. A year later, the entire department was l laid off.
Having work when so many others have had a much harder time landing on their feet has made me really appreciate the opportunity to do something that once 'sucked the very life' out of me. It is amazing to me how the simple things I used to complain about at my old job, I do without a second thought these days, because I know it puts food on my table. Maybe I was like today's athletes, complacent and entitled. Well, all it takes is the specter of losing that thing to make you really re-examine and in turn appreciate it. I hear guys at work that complain about the things I used to complain about, and I can only shake my head.
We know the frauds at the Morgan Center perceive us as unreasonable fanatics who have lost touch with reality. In fact, one fellow Bruin and signer of the SFatPauley petition had this to say when I launched the current petition to Fire Dan Guerrero.
Please remove me from this list and find something more productive to do with your time. We have huge needs in the community and this is how you squander your time?
I'm disgusted
He's right of course, there are huge needs everywhere else. I'm disgusted too, but with different people and for different reasons. I'm looking at you, Dan.
What does one have to do with the other? I am eternally grateful, and I cannot emphasize that enough, for the sports fans that obsess over their teams, play fantasy football, and seek out every tidbit of information between Sundays which in turn allows me to have a job. There you have it. I am being selfish. There are entire industries that survive off the passion of sports fans. When I worked on that silly little show, we were eternally grateful for our fans. They made it possible for us to not only work. It allowed us to do something we loved, and get paid to do it. Occasionally, someone like Adele will take her talent, and sky rocket onto the world's stage. She will be able to live a life most of us can only dream of, because people will flock to her music. And, music like sports is a luxury we do not need. Academics might tell you that all we need is food, water, shelter and clothing. But, prisoners all over the world have these things, and they are not happy. It would be a poor world if we only had food for sustenance, but no delicacies. It would be a poor world if we all wore the same garments, in the same color and we never deviated from that standard.
I go back to that email and I ask myself, "Are there more important things in life?" Absolutely. But, that does not take away from the importance of this issue. My high school football coach used to say "I can pick up any newspaper and read all about everything that is wrong with mankind. But, I can turn to the sports page and read about all that is right with man." He was talking about the peak performances in sports. When a man or woman breaks some new performance record, the entire human race is lifted. Breaking the 5 minute mile barrier was very important for the human race as a whole. Sports Matters.
Taking a look at sports through this economic filter only underscores the importance of Morgan Center's failure to produce, promote and protect the UCLA brand. Now more than ever, we need to ensure that every dollar is wisely spent, and gives us the largest possible return on our investment. Now more than ever we have to take a harder look at every member of our athletic department and ask if they are getting the job done. And, as unpleasant as it may seem, now more than ever, we need to cull from the herd all those who are not getting the job done. Dan Guerrero, Rick Neuheisel, and Ben Howland may be the most visible lightning rods of our unhappiness; but if we truly want to maximize the revenue generated by our two largest sports programs, we will have to dig much much deeper and make some painful cuts.
Dan, I'd like you to step into my office.

Diner Reviews
Ambience excellent , had to wait
for 10 minutes although reserved the table for 9pm. Members of staff were very polite and nice , although my drink arrived late, after wonderful starters I wanted to cancel my main , one of the waiter told me that duck has never been ordered. When my partner's main course arrived manager ( I assume) asked me if I don't want the main for sure as they actually made it . Chips arrived at least 5 minutes after the steak was delivered so we had to wait for it. At the end they charged us for the duck, waiter apologised , we checked the bill again and they charged us extra wine glass. So overall great food, great ambience, staff were friendly but not as efficient as you would expect for this type of restaurant"
dined on 29/08/2014
We had the tasting menus and added
some extra dishes absolutely delicious lots of choice in the tasting menus and the only dish that had any negative comments was the monk fish our waitress was excellent as was the whole evening will be returning soon!"

I had been wanting to visit Chino
Latino for some time and I can only say that my expectations of the venue were fully and overly met. The immediate very pleasant welcome from front of house was very sincere and made us feel so very welcome. The ambiance of the dining area would be hard to judge on a realistic basis as this was an early Sunday evening meal ,as such not a good time to pass a valid comment, however I would like to return at a busier time to feel the true vibe of the place that I'm sure exists. We chose one of the taster menus which in no way is understated. Every dish was served with such great perfection and a very descriptive explanation of the beautiful food. All in all I would recommend Chino Latino to all."

restaurants in london for a number of reasons. Great service, where you are always remembered by staff, excellent sashimi and sushi and a lovely restaurant. Soon to move to the 1st floor of the Riverside Plaza to give diners a view over the Thames. A great hotel bar too."

Having been to the Chinos in Leeds
a few times and loved it, I booked here for a special occasion on a visit to London. The food did not disappoint and the service was good but the experience was tainted by the restaurant itself, which was soulless and more like a hotel restaurant than reflecting the standard of food. The restaurant in Leeds has a wonderful dark and cosy feel whereas this one felt less intimate and pleasant. Such a shame as the food is so good but the atmosphere really let the experience down."

I took my husband here for his
birthday. We loved the food, ended up ordering 2 lots of starters and no main although the main options looked good. Food and drink was brill! Service was a bit slow at times but overall didn't ruin the experience for us. They brought out a specially decorated cheesecake for hey husbands birthday which was a lovely touch to end to the evening. Brill location right by the river. We went on London eye after. Great experience!"

We booked as a group of 6 and were
encouraged to choose one of the tasting menus - we chose 'Rengin' and were not disappointed. The starters and small dishes were delicious mouthfuls, especially the scallops and dumplings, followed by the tender steak and superbly flavoured sea bass. Dessert was a well presented platter of fresh fruit and ice creams which soon disappeared! Whilst the area the restaurant is located is not that inviting, once inside the staff made us very welcome and were attentive throughout. Cool decor inside, but as half empty lacked atmosphere for a Friday evening. Good value for money"

Went to Chino Latino's for a
romantic meal with my husband on a weekend break in London, both the food and service were fantastic, the wating staff were attentive and knowledgeable. We chose the taster menu and enjoyed everything that was served especially the Chilean Sea Bass and the Steak on Hot Rocks both of which were truly delicious. Would look forward to going back again and trying other dishes on the menu."

Average Pan Asian food although my
guest enjoyed her Sushi. Very much a casual hotel dining experience. The staff were particularly good and helpful."
dined on 10/07/2014
Interesting food, although the
portion sizes are a little strange. It is a sharing concept, so we ordered four small dishes and two main dishes to share amongst two of us. The small plates were huge. Very tasty though and the tempura was particularly good. Wonderful service from a sweet waitress called Darcy. She overheard my daughter saying it was my birthday and produced a dessert at the end of the evening, complete with candle, and insisted on singing at the top of her voice. Very nice touch from a friendly and pleasant girl."

I'm a bit puzzled as to why Chino
Latino isn't more well-known. The food is top notch, with a good mix of classic flavour combinations and more surprising pairings. I always find wine-matching tricky with pan-Asian menus, but at least the wine list will have something to cater to every taste, without going over the top. Staff are attentive, friendly and efficient. This helps create an atmosphere which is more relaxed and less pretentious, for the lack of a better word, compared to places like Hakkasan or Novikov. That said, something about the Chino Latino ambience feels a bit off. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the venue somehow gives off a vibe of being any average hotel restaurant rather than the special place it actually is."

The real Stuart had a lovely
ambience in rich dark red colours and modern furnishings as well as being spacious. Good venue for a nice meal, a date etc. Dinners were dressed in a mix either smart casual or business suits. The food was amazing. We went for one of the 5 course set menus and it was beautiful on the plate the flavours were divine. Top class food, worth every penny. Very helpful waiters."
dined on 19/06/2014
Tasty dinner, the portions in the
tasting menu were just too large and this meant that we were unable to enjoy the main course to the full."
dined on 14/06/2014
service, food choice and layout
are all amazing. Great choice of cocktails and nice ambiance in the evening "

We booked via Opentable. The
initial contact with the Maitre D was pleasant and we were asked if we wanted a drink in the bar area first. When we did sit down fro diner, the waiter was pleasant and helpful in taking our order. The food came very quickly and was a lot more than we expected and we struggled to eat the starter. The quality of the food was very good. Highly recommend it, but don't order to much otherwise you will not be able to have the mains, which we did not do. the Restaurant got busy and we felt we had been forgotten about, but when we did get the waiters attention, he did apologise and was quick to take our next order. Overall enjoyed the food and the ambience. Very appealing as a couple or for a group of friends. "

Chose Chino Latino based on
favourable reviews and was not disappointed. Had a tasting menu and every item was well presented and delicious. The waitress was very friendly and service throughout the restaurant and bar was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend and to return when back in London "

I hadn't been to chino Latino for
about 3 years, but the food the other night was as good as I remembered it . Our waitor was friendly and helpful and we had a very enjoyable evening. "

Wonderful PanAsian food in a nice
environment. Had a set menu with delicious food. The monk fish tail was perfect! Nice staff, and our Argentinian waiter Gabriel was in good control even though there were many guests to attend. "
dined on 22/05/2014
Each time I've been to this
restaurant it has been an amazing experience.The ambience, the service, the staff, the food are of excellent quality. our waitress Dany was very attentive without being over the top. We had plenty of time to sit and relax. Thank you Chino Latino"

Went there for dinner with friends
as it got some outstanding reviews on trip advisor. Location is ok, nothing special though the bar has a kind of nice atmosphere. The restaurant itself would from an architectural point of view not hit any bestseller list. Service was fine and friendly, but one shouldn't ask for advice on the wine to choose as the waiter could not suggest the right wine which would go best with the meal taken. The food was nicely presented and nice to look at which made it even more tastier. As I just said, the taste was really good, but the quantity served was limited. Not that we are big eaters, but price/quality-quantity was definitely not justified here. All in all, an average experience...unfortunately! "
dined on 17/05/2014
After reading some of the previous
reviews I was expecting a culinary extravaganza. The food was a bit hit and miss however. Some stuff was pretty good, however the wagyu beef tacitos were average at best. You could not taste the beef at all as it was smothered in guacamole - nicely presented but a total waste of great ingredients. Service was great however. With 25% off it was ok value. Not a patch on Nobu like one review suggested!!! "
dined on 14/05/2014
I really think this place is
better than Nobu... been here 3 times.... the food is amazing - tasting menu for two is superb... they will mix and match... shame it's so far away from west end."
dined on 09/05/2014
What a wonderful evening we had.
Service was fabulous and the food to die for. We went for the taster menu and each dish was a complete taste explosion...... A total delight and we will definately be back."
dined on 24/04/2014
We had the tasting menu, which got
better and better. Scallops were the highlight, but everything was good - even making beetroot, which I hate, passable. Desserts were beautifully presented, and service was smart, professional and neither obtrusive nor unavailable. The room is great, but, maybe inevitably for a largish hotel on the south bank, there were several single tourists dressed down and not adding to the ambiance nearby. It used to be good value when they had several toptable offers here - now it's more of a special occasion. Still, this was faultless on the important things."
dined on 19/04/2014
This is hands down the best food
I've had in London. It's not too often that I get to go to places as expensive (and I'm saying it's not worth it's value!), but I do try to get out often to try new things. Chino Latino is excellent. I wouldn't stay in the hotel as a guest where it is, but I think the hotel is awfully lucky to have such a great hotel inside... In fact, the ambience and the service is so nice, you really do forget you're in a hotel at all as soon as you are seated. My mother was visiting London from Los Angeles and LA being a place where there is a LOT of pan-Asian food, this took the cake! I can't wait to save my pennies and go back..!"
dined on 17/04/2014
I went here on a works night out.
And have to say the food is incredible..... Genuinely better than Nobu and a lot cheaper. Not the easiest of venues to get to if doing other 'west end' things. But a real taste sensation. The lobster is a must"
dined on 16/04/2014
Book Chino Latino and order the
tasting menu. You won't regret it. Amazing as always. Seafood to die for!"
dined on 12/04/2014
Staff were very attentive food was
amazing quiet enjoyable evening, everyone enjoying their time spent. "
dined on 10/04/2014
Presentation is never a
disappointment. Every dish has it's own flair! The three times we have been here we have had a selection of sushi and our favourite, the duck! The staff are very helpful and professional. This is one of our favourite place to eat in London!"
dined on 06/04/2014
Great tasting food, though
portions were on the small side. Cocktails were inventive and delicious. Service was excellent, attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Location is just not that great so restaurant was pretty empty (especially for a Friday night) and only livened up when a group who I can only assume were staying in the hotel entered the neighbouring bar."
dined on 21/03/2014
This restaurant is like a hidden
gem, being part of a hotel. We had the tasting platter, which is usually for 2 however having 3 guessed they were very flexible and made it for the 3 of us. Every one of the many courses had a wow factor, leaving us speechless at how awesome each course was. The best was the dessert which was an array of tasting experiences. Will be going back again and having mains as the blackened salmon was to die for."

Chino Latino has been my favourite
restaurant for many years now. The food is delicious and the service is great. I will be back soon!"
dined on 11/03/2014
I chose Chino Latino as a place to
go during a weekend London visit with my Mum and sister. Their online reviews seemed excellent, and rightly so. There were 5 of us in our party, and from the moment we approached the front door, we knew it was going to be a special experience. The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive; the décor and ambience are sophisticated and stunning; the menu is extensive and intriguing. We enjoyed cocktails first; then chose one of the tasting menus and were delighted by all the different dishes brought to our table. This is the perfect venue for a special occasion, but if I lived in London I would eat here extremely regularly, special occasion or not!"
dined on 01/03/2014
Went there many times and food
quality is always outstanding. Good selection of starters and main. Will always go back for a fusion experience"

Amazing food and excellent
service!! The staff all went out of their way to make it a perfect valentines day meal. The atmosphere and ambience is great for couples that want a romantic meal."

Absolutely perfect - outstanding
friendly welcome from the minute we arrived, the food was delicious and flavoursome and the whole experience was amazing. Cant wait to return and would definitely recommend to anyone/everyone."

Took my boyfriend here as I had
driven by a few times and was curious about the restaurant. Saw a few reviews and thought I should take him to try it on his birthday. Bonus for me as I was looking to spend a bit on his meal anyway but they had a winter offer which would be £20 off every £60 spent on food. So why not go beast mode and eat til we feel sick haha. Anyway the virgin cocktails were amazing. Amazing kind staff who were aware of the birthday and helped me with little things like being discreet about the deal, setting up a birthday dessert and message. Was such a lovely meal, food was good and sushi was so fresh and presented beautifully. Thank you for a lovely nice evening everyone."
dined on 04/02/2014
Went out as a group of 6 and found
the whole experience fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed the food, with the steak on the hot rocks a favorite with the all. Only one draft beer but plenty of cocktails and wine for everyone to enjoy. Would highly recommend dining here as a group or a romantic night out."

I gave the route 3 stars. Keep in mind that only applies to folks who like hard slab climbing. Then again, if you don't like hard slab, then you need to find another route.
Starts a few routes to the left of Three Birches (5.8) up a face, below and to the left of a large pine tree growing about 50 ft up the cliff.
13 quick draws can get you there, but a pink tricam may be desired on the 1st pitch.
