Don't give up on it.

"I just shut my eyes," said Anthony Oliveri, who barely survived being run over last week, "and said, 'If this is the way that God wants to do it then I guess that this is the way we're going to do it.'"
Turns out that was the way God wanted to do it, according to the driver of the car that was running him over. In fact, she said God wanted to do it Himself.
As WANE News (Fort Wayne, Indiana) reported, the woman told police that God was personally responsible for the accident because she was just driving along and "out of nowhere God told her that He would take it from here and she let go of the wheel and let Him take it." The 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix hit Oliveri's motorcycle and ran over both bike and man. As he saw the tire approaching his head, Oliveri ironically submitted to the will of the same entity who was (allegedly) behind the wheel at the time.
And maybe that helped, because the wheel missed Oliveri's head and ran over his body instead. Oliveri suffered serious injuries including multiple broken ribs, but survived. His fiancé was quoted as saying that the bruise on his back was "shaped like angel wings," but the thing with the wheel frankly seems more helpful. I guess based on the conflicting evidence we have either a case of Old Testament driving or New Testament salvation. I'm not qualified to say which, but the latter seems much more likely.
When I say "Old Testament driving" I'm thinking of the time He told Moses to take a left even though the Canaanites were in the way. (I might not be remembering all the details there.) My recollection is that He delegates much of the kindlier stuff to His son, although the latter also sometimes gets upset with people. See Matthew 21:12; see also "Jesus Told Me to Ram That Car, Says Driver," Lowering the Bar (Dec. 3, 2008) (quoting man who said Jesus was upset with the other driver because she was "not driving like a Christian").
As Jonathan Turley writes today, "[t]here is obviously a torts case to be made here" at least against the car's human occupant. He cites the Breunig case, in which the defendant also claimed that God had taken control of her car but was still found liable for negligence. That court held that the defendant could still be liable because she knew she could be subject to hallucinations and so should not have been driving at all. (She claimed she believed she could fly "because Batman does it," which shows the seriousness of her delusions because that dude can at best glide.) In Oliveri's case, so far I have seen no evidence that the driver had similar issues, just that she was taking Vicodin. But time will tell.

The Washington Post calls this "a unique approach to collecting evidence," and I guess that's one way to put it. The approach is to forcibly inject a 17-year-old boy with something that would cause an erection so they can take a picture of that to compare with the picture he allegedly texted to his girlfriend.
I'm not at a loss for words very often but just now I sat and stared at this report for a while.
It wasn't too hard to come up with things to say about the New Mexico cops who rummaged through a guy's colon for several hours, with an alleged doctor's help, looking for nonexistent drugs. That cost their employers $1.6 million, but I believe those cops are still on the job. Here, though, we have police and prosecutors insisting on a forced medical procedure involving the genitals of a 17-year-old boy whose "crime" is sending a picture of those to his girlfriend. And apparently oblivious to the irony involved in charging the kid with creating child pornography and then demanding a picture of his boner.
Just to be clear, the police have already taken pictures of his genitals in a (not surprisingly) unaroused state. They did that when they arrested him for his ever-so-heinous crime. But on July 1, when the case was set for trial, the boy's defense attorney said that prosecutors demanded her client plead guilty or else they would go get a warrant for evidence that would be more comparable to the texted photo. What do you mean? she asked. According to the attorney, the prosecutors replied that "we just take him down to the hospital, give him a shot and then take the pictures that we need."
Now sitting and staring at the screen again.
He declined to plead guilty—the charges could lead to incarceration and being listed as a sex offender for the rest of his life—and, incredibly, some judge actually gave them the warrant, according to this report. It hasn't been served yet, and a different judge granted a motion to let the boy leave the state to visit family before the warrant could be executed.
Maybe he shouldn't come back? Maybe he should ask for asylum, actually, because it sounds like law enforcement officials in Manassas and maybe all of Prince William County, Virginia, have gone completely insane.
Update: According to an AP report (thanks, Eric), the Manassas Police Department has decided not to pursue this idea any further and will let the search warrant expire. The report states that the department's spokesman "said he had no information on why the department no longer plans to pursue the photos," but I will go ahead and speculate it's because the department learned that most other human beings who learned of the plan were utterly revolted by it. Prince William County prosecutors and whoever signed this warrant should also be deeply ashamed, of course.
Oh, hey, I just noticed that Prince William County, which is just outside D.C., is considered part of the "National Capital Region" and therefore receives a share of the more than $50 million per year allocated to the NCR for "homeland security" purposes. Presumably that's because the government is concerned about a heightened risk of terrorism there, and that makes me wonder whether prosecuting minors for consensual sexting offenses should really be a priority for Prince William County.
[Okay, "consensual" might not be the right word, since the girl was only 15. Her parents certainly did not consent.]

My first thought was, "wow, the human race really is not evolving at all," and then I thought, "you know, it's laws like these that are partly to blame for that."
Back in the day, of course, human beings who thought it would be neat to hug or pet or maybe try to ride on a tiger, or any enormous carnivore, really, were swiftly removed from the gene pool, most likely well before they had a chance to breed more humans of that ilk. I assume, in fact, that scientists have proven that this exact scenario, repeated many thousands of times, is how we got to where we are today in the first place. After a while we sent the remaining dumbasses off to bunk with the Neanderthals, and away we went.
But today, these encounters mostly take place at circuses, county fairs, petting zoos, or as part of some other sort of exhibition in which the animal is somehow restrained or tranquilized in order to make it less likely to, let's say, devour someone who comes near it. These unfortunate restrictions on the animal have encouraged a trend that I have just now learned about (thanks to Tom and to the New York Post), one in which men have pictures taken of themselves snuggling with a tiger so that they can use said pictures in their dating profiles:
This has become sufficiently common that there's an entire blog (or tumblr, anyway) devoted to it.
Any New York gentlemen wanting to get in on this should do so while they still can, because the legislature is on the verge of passing a bill that would make the practice of tiger selfies illegal. It does not use that term, nor is it limited to tigers, but that's the gist of it: The law would make it illegal for any person required to have a license under the federal Animal Welfare Act "to knowingly allow the public to have direct contact with a big cat."
"Big cat" is defined to mean any species of lion, tiger, leopard (except for clouded leopards), jaguar, mountain lion, or any hybrid of these; "direct contact" means "physical contact or proximity where physical contact is possible, including, but not limited to, allowing a photograph to be taken without a permanent physical barrier" between human and animal. Violating the law would result in a fine of $500 for a first offense or $1000 after that.
This is entirely the wrong approach.
I think we need to do one of two things: (1) make it illegal to cart these mostly rare and once dignified animals around at all; or (2) continue to allow it but only as long as the animals are kept alert, well armed, and slightly underfed.
Think about it. These people are using the pictures in dating profiles. This is exactly the situation in which the individual should either be proven fit by having successfully taken a selfie with a fully alert deadly predator through great strength, speed, and/or cunning; or else prevented from mating entirely by being eaten first. The race can start its slow upward trek again, animals get some of their dignity back, and we'll save tons of money on tiger feed. Also, think of the ratings.
Yes, I suppose women could achieve the same result by simply not mating with anyone who has a tiger selfie for his profile. They could. But I still think legislation is a good idea.
Update: as reader Justin points out, these are not technically "selfies"—or at least the one above is not, as a "selfie" is by definition a picture taken of oneself. I should not have aped the NY Post in using that term, especially since, now that I think about it, "New York to Ban Tiger Snuggling" (or "Tiger-Snuggling Portraits") seems better anyway. I'm going to leave it, though, because in fact the law does ban tiger selfies, it just goes beyond that to reach other kinds of man-tiger portrait interactions as well. I just wanted to clarify that detail.

You may recall the 2009 non-ordeal of Falcon Heene, the boy whose parents publicly, tearfully, and falsely claimed he was aboard a runaway weather balloon because they hoped to get a reality TV show out of it. See, e.g., "FAA Investigating Balloon Boy Case; Balloon Dad Prepares for Apocalypse," Lowering the Bar (Oct. 21, 2009); "Balloon Boy's Parents Finally Reunited With Balloon," Lowering the Bar (June 3, 2010). If not, BOOM! I just refreshed your recollections. Yep, that just happened.
Falcon, then six years old, was actually safe at home the whole time, although his father later insisted that wasn't true and that he and his wife only pleaded guilty because otherwise the government might have deported her. (Here's a press release from the Heenes' lawyers, making the deportation claim but notably not saying a word about the alleged balloon ride itself.) The fact that Falcon was not actually aboard the balloon when it landed would seem to prove the incident was a hoax, but I guess we can't rule out the possibility of a dramatic in-flight rescue by a superhero who has preferred to remain anonymous.
Also, Falcon spilled the beans while CNN was interviewing the family, but maybe that was part of the hero's cover story.
Anyway, the Denver Post reports (thanks, @davidfeeder) that at long last, that stupid, stupid saga has become a musical.
"It started as very brutal, biting satire with a seventh-grade mentality," said the musical's creator, 16-year-old Billy Reece, "but as it's progressed I've tried to make the characters more human." (Billy, you had me at "seventh-grade mentality.") The show's opener, "Follow Your Dream," recently won a prize for best student-created opening number, giving him the right to participate in a workshop to develop the musical further.
The Heenes followed their dream to Florida, once the couple served their brief jail sentences in Colorado, that is. Actually, I guess this was a different dream, judging from the fact that they have since been marketing the "Bear Scratch," a piece of wood that mounts on a wall so you can scratch your back on it ($19.99 or two pieces of wood for $29.99), and certain other inventions that at least cannot be less dumb than the balloon hoax was.
Also seeking fame: Falcon himself, apparently now a member of "Heene Boyz," which bills itself as "The World's Youngest Metal Band." Based on the music video for the band's song, "American Chili," they might want to give the balloon plan another try.

Turns out you left it in Volusia County, Florida, or one of your accomplices did, anyway:
Head down there anytime to pick it up, although the local sheriff's department would like to speak with you when you do. Just need to finish up some paperwork, really. Come by anytime.
News13 reports that last Thursday, an officer of the state Fish and Wildlife Service found a coffin upside down in a wooded area near De Leon Springs (about half an hour west of Daytona Beach). He called the police, because that's what you do when you have found a coffin upside down in a wooded area, though I personally would suggest you do that only after running several miles away while screaming the loudest possible prayers to the deity or deities of your choice. (Note: the screaming of prayers is optional but recommended; also recommended, if you are with me at the time, is not getting between me and wherever I am fleeing to.) A deputy arrived and torched it with a flamethrower, just to be safe.
No, he turned it over and opened it, to find ... not a body, but something almost as disturbing—46 weapons and other items, including nunchucks, a crossbow, axes, hooks, chains, a boat anchor, two sickles, and a "ball with metal spikes." The report notes that he did not observe blood, hair "or anything that would indicate foul play." Nope, just a few dozen medieval weapons in a coffin somebody dumped in the woods. Nothing to see here, folks.
To be fair, it isn't "foul play" to possess any of these weapons—or all of them—in Florida, although carrying the smaller ones as concealed weapons would probably violate this law. A couple of states do prohibit certain martial-arts-type weapons entirely, notably the nunchaku, although such a ban is most likely unconstitutional. See "New York Attorney Will Fight Nunchaku Intolerance," Lowering the Bar (Feb. 8, 2007). Having checked up on the New York case just now, I didn't give that guy enough credit, because his case in fact reached the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Court vacated the judgment against him and remanded after its Second Amendment ruling in McDonald v. Chicago. A motion for summary judgment is pending in the remanded case.
It is also not illegal to store sickles in a coffin, but come on, man.

According to Newsweek Pakistan:
A court on Saturday threw out charges of attempted murder against a nine-month-old baby, in a case that highlighted endemic flaws in Pakistan's legal system and provoked widespread ridicule.
A court on Saturday threw out charges of attempted murder against a nine-month-old baby, in a case that highlighted endemic flaws in Pakistan's legal system and provoked widespread ridicule.
The former suspect's bail application has also been withdrawn.
Until recently, children as young as seven could be found criminally responsible under Pakistani law. The age was raised to 12 last year, except that terrorists 11 and under can still be prosecuted.

Just a quick follow-up to "Baby Indicted" (April 4):
He's apparently being fingerprinted by Steve Carell, and frankly this would have made a lot more sense if it had been on an episode of The Office. But it actually happened. What goes through your mind when you're fingerprinting a baby, I wonder?
In this case possibly something like, "Am I really doing this right in front of a reporter?"
The New York Times, source of the picture above, also notes that the alleged baby's next court appearance will be on Saturday. He is out on bail in the meantime, although personally I'd have found he was not much of a flight risk.

Khek Chanthalavong told investigators the blaze started after he had been using a torch on the deck of a unit he shared with Barbara Pellow to burn the fur off a squirrel he'd captured.
Khek Chanthalavong told investigators the blaze started after he had been using a torch on the deck of a unit he shared with Barbara Pellow to burn the fur off a squirrel he'd captured.
People, how many times do I have to say, "Never leave a hot squirrel torch near something flammable when you go inside to wash the carcass"?
I mean, I really didn't expect to have to say that once.
This happened in 2012 in Michigan, but is back in the news because now it's time for the lawsuits. There are lawsuits because, sadly, the squirrel-torcher was unable to douse the fire that started after he put the torch behind a plant holder, and the fire spread to 32 other units. No one was injured (except for the squirrel, and one firefighter who broke a toe), but insurers paid out over $2 million in damages.
They would like to have that back.
Khek is probably in the doghouse permanently for this one. First, his (ex?)girlfriend said she "would not approve of him burning the hair off a squirrel on the deck" to begin with. Understandable, especially since this may not have been the first time. I infer this from the statement that Khek "said he placed [the blowtorch] behind the plastic plant holder on the deck that day to make it less obvious to his girlfriend." That might have been just to avoid the awkward question, "Um, what exactly have you been doing out here with a blowtorch?" but I'm guessing she knew what the blowtorch was for and had told him to cut it out. But as soon as she dozed off ... squirrel time!
Second, he doesn't appear to have any assets, which I infer from the fact that Travelers Insurance, which paid the vast majority of the damages, is only suing her. Both of them signed the lease, and so Travelers is taking the position that she is equally responsible for the damages, even though as far as we know she has never singed a rodent in her life.
Surprisingly, a search revealed that this is the first squirrel-related litigation post I've written since 2006, when an Illinois woman sued a mall after she was allegedly attacked by a squirrel there. She claimed the mall was liable because it had "allowed the squirrel to remain on the premises" despite knowing it had a history of violence. (Doesn't look like I ever followed up on that one—she lost.) In the Michigan case, of course, the squirrel was just an innocent victim.

Muhammad Mosa Khan, who claims to be a nine-month-old infant, was charged yesterday with attempted murder and assaulting a police officer, according to multiple sources (BBC, The News (Pakistan)) (thanks, Justin).
The accused was released after posting a bond of 50,000 rupees.
Mosa Khan was apprehended when police raided a Lahore neighborhood in an effort to arrest people involved in stealing utility services. Police claimed that they came under attack by an angry crowd that pelted them with stones, and they arrested 35 members of the group, including Mosa Khan. The suspects claimed they were only protesting an electricity shortage, but all were booked under Sections 324 and 353 of the Pakistan Penal Code (attempted murder and assaulting a public servant, respectively).
Mosa Khan's lawyer argued that his client was immune from prosecution under PPC Section 82, which provides that "Nothing is an offence, which is done by a child under seven years of age." Though the judge agreed to grant bail, he said he did not have jurisdiction to dismiss the charges against the alleged baby. The local magistrate can do so but the case apparently has not reached him yet.
It has come to the attention of Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, who "took notice of a registration of a case against the nine-month-old baby" and demanded an explanation from local authorities. The News also reported that the police have suspended the assistant sub-inspector who booked the infant, on the orders of the chief minister "and in a bid to avoid further shame."
Which, as far as I can tell, is not working.

Epic Games signs licensing deal with British studio
Send this to a friend

Epic Games is about to reach across the pond again, as British studio Rodeo Games has licensed its Cary-developed platform for an unannounced project.
The hints?
That it's a turn-based strategy game set for a mobile release in the second quarter of 2015.
Mobile gamers know Rodeo as the studio behind "Hunters: Episode 1" and "Hunters 2," as well as "Warhammer Quest."
Laurent Maguire, co-founder of Rodeo, says the goal is to "set a new standard."
And Epic hopes it can deliver the technology to fuel that standard with Unreal Engine 3, a game-making technology that's scalable across PC, console and mobile platforms.
Epic's biggest franchise to date, "Gears of War," may have made Cary famous as a video game hotspot, but the company just sold the franchise to Microsoft. This is the first big announcement for the firm since that sale.

Homes near Lackland Air Force Base, in San Antonio, TX
Lackland AFB, in addition to Fort Sam Houston and Randolph AFB, iss part of Joint Base San Antonio, which was established as a result of the 2005 round of Base Relocation and Closing (BRAC). Lackland is located in western San Antonio, which has experienced signifcant growth, particularly in the northwestern section of the city.
Anyone relocating to San Antonio from a big city may be relieved from the seeming lack of traffic; however, during key commuting times, even San Antonio can get congested. For many personnel serving at Lackland AFB, many northwestern San Antonio neighborhoods strike a balance between affordability and convenience. While each neighborhood is different, you'll find that the average home price around Lackland AFB is approximately $150,000 (as of January 2013).
Homes within 20 minutes of Lackland
While Lackland AFB personnel live throughout the San Antonio region, many choose to stay relatively close to the base. For this reason, we've provided a list of homes that are generally between a 20 and 25 minute drive of Lackland below:

Asia to deepen Iran oil import cuts in 2013 as sanctions bite
SINGAPORE/TOKYO (Reuters) - Iran's crude exports to its biggest customer, Asia, fell by a quarter in 2012 and shipments this year are expected to drop by at least 12 percent under U.S. sanctions pressure, but ample alternative supplies will keep refiners flush with oil.
Asia's main oil buyers cut imports from Iran to an average of 1.09 million barrels per day in 2012, government and industry data shows, and planned cuts in term contracts for 2013 point to further reductions of at least 135,000 bpd.
However, experts say overall cuts would have to be deeper to secure further waivers from the U.S. sanctions that are aimed at forcing Iran to halt its nuclear programme and which have made shipping and paying for Iranian oil difficult, cutting overall exports by more than half in 2012.
From Asia, Iran lost $14 billion worth of oil exports for the year, according to Reuters calculations. Exports will remain under pressure this year as well as the United States lobbies Asian countries to further reduce purchases, even though Iranian exports last month rose to their highest since the EU imposed sanctions in July.
An abundance of alternative supplies, mainly from the Middle East, of oil that is of similar quality to what Iran exports and stable prices mean Asian buyers will be able to easily make up for the loss in shipments from Iran.
"Thanks to the efforts of Saudi Arabia, growth of production in Iraq and the United States, I do not expect any major difficulty in terms of meeting global oil demand this year," said Fatih Birol, chief economist at the International Energy Agency which advises industrialised nations on energy policies.
The drop in Iranian exports "will not affect the market in a negative sense", he told reporters in Tokyo.
Almost all of Iran's exports flow to Asia.
Most Asian refiners have so far been unaffected by the lack of Iranian oil as they have complex processing facilities that allow them to switch from one type of crude to another. Only Sri Lanka was forced to shut its sole Iran oil-specific refinery.
A further reduction in Iranian exports may drive up costs if more and more buyers go after the same alternative crude, but that scenario is so far unlikely because of plentiful supplies.
The top beneficiaries of Iran's reduced exports last year were Saudi Arabia, Angola, Iraq, Venezuela and Russia as these countries ramped up shipments to plug the shortfall from Iran.
Top exporter Saudi Arabia cut production by 700,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the final two months of 2012, partly because of the weak global demand outlook. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' latest report indicated world supply will comfortably outstrip demand in the first half of 2013.
"The reduction in Iranian supplies so far has not affected any of the major refiners in Asia," said Victor Shum, senior partner at IHS Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.
"Supplies are plentiful and, directionally, OPEC spare capacity is actually increasing because of the Saudi cutbacks to replace any Iranian supplies."
Iran's biggest oil customer, China, reduced imports by 21 percent to 438,448 barrels per day (bpd) in 2012, while the deepest reduction was made by Japan, which cut 40 percent of imports to 189,076 bpd.
South Korea slashed imports by 36 percent to 153,400 bpd and India reduced purchases by 1.7 percent to 315,200 bpd.
Japan's oil imports from Iran may be about 15 percent lower this year, capped roughly at 160,000 bpd, and may possibly be cut further, said Yasushi Kimura, the chairman of JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp (5020.T), the country's top refiner.
China may reduce its purchases from Iran by a further 5 to 10 percent in 2013, industry sources said, which would amount to a reduction of 20,000-40,000 bpd.
India plans to cut oil imports from Iran by 10 to 15 percent in the next fiscal year, while South Korean refiners will cut imports of Iranian crude during the six months to May by about a fifth from a year earlier.
"If you ask me, can we cut more, yes we can cut more," said a senior official at a Japanese refiner who declined to be named because he was not authorised to talk to the media.
"And I believe Japanese refineries are configured to process other grades without cutting runs. As to why Asians import Iranian crude, it is because they are competitive."

- We went for a late dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/20/2012We went for a late dinner so we missed the happy hour crowd. It is mostly a fish restaurant of Caribbean inspiration and they didn't disappoint. Excellent food and a nice, waterfront atmosphere.Special Features:
- As always, the food, weather,PamCVIPDined on 3/20/2012As always, the food, weather, ambiance and staff were delightful.Special Features:
- Comfortably crowded, great food!MrchanuteDined on 3/18/2012Looking for the 'perfect place' to have dinner in Ft. Lauderdale is a daunting task...mostly because there are so many options. We chose Bimini Boatyard as we were staying at the Hyatt Pier 66, and the Bimini Boatyard was a short walk over the intercoastal waterway bridge. We were very happy to find a comfortable crowd, great food (including awesome conch fritters. Tucked away in the back of a shopping center, it suprised us to find a fun outdoor deck with water views, excellent bar service, and good table service. We were not disappointed, and will go back again some day.Special Features:
- I showed up on Sunday morningJGSantaFeVIPDined on 3/18/2012I showed up on Sunday morning not knowing I'd have to order the brunch buffet. I'm not a big fan of either buffets or enormous brunches, but there was obviously plenty to eat. Sitting outdoors with a view of the water was great. Inside felt like combination of Carnival Cruise and Chuck E. Cheese's, at least on the day I was there.Special Features:
- Not so good...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/16/2012The Bimini bread is good but the big chunks of the un-melted sugar were inedible. We paid 12.00 for coconut shrimp appetizer and it arrived with 3 shrimp. Never have seen that before. The filet of beef was cooked perfectly and very tasty, but both grilled fish dishes were over-grilled,tough and dry. We had to keep asking for ice tea refills, and that was with one waiter and one trainee. Key Lime pie was excellent. I would not go back, there are other restaurants that pay more attention to the customer and to the fish on the grill.Special Features:
- We were meeting friends stayingOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/13/2012We were meeting friends staying one night in the area and chose this place for its proximity. Checked out their website's menu, so wasn't surprised as to what to expect. It was just okay. It's outdoor eating area has a nice setting for tourists. The food was reasonable for the type of establishment. Service was fine on our visit. We were seated promptly, but it was a Tuesday night. I don't live in the area, so don't plan on a return visit.Special Features:
- The Florida Stone crabs areOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 3/13/2012The Florida Stone crabs are one of the best I ever had!Special Features:
- The waitress was not havingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/10/2012The waitress was not having a great night while we were there. However, I loved the outdoor seating. The fish was a little oily, but still enjoyable. I would dine there again.Special Features:
- We arrived on time for ourOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/9/2012We arrived on time for our reservation and were offered an outdoor table if we agreed to wait 15 minutes. We agreed and were given a lovely table- the waiter was attentive and informative We ordered fish and were offered two sides- the four dishes arrived and all of the side veggies were cold and over cooked- we informed the waiter and he returnded them to the kitchen- the food was returned in a few minutes with more overcooked and cold veggies -but this time the fish was overcooked We informed the manager on our way out and he said it was too bad he could not make it up to us very disappointing -this restaurant needs a lesson on customer satisfaction mamangementSpecial Features:
- Outdoor Delight!eatoutkingDined on 3/9/2012Great for early evening dinner outside. Seafood is very good and top it off with the Bimini bread.Special Features:
- greeters and staff seemedOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/3/2012greeters and staff seemed very disorganizeed with guest seating etc. we arrived prior to our reservations and they advised our table will be ready for 8pm. we never got seated until 8:28pm after requesting to see Barry, mgr. honestly believe they had a rush for walkin clients and gave our table away.Special Features:
- don't go for the food unlesslinnieVIPDined on 3/1/2012don't go for the food unless u really want to clog your arteries! all fried stuff....
- We went here when we stayedGrouchoVIPDined on 2/25/2012We went here when we stayed at the next door Rennaissance hotel. Wasn't expecting too much, just needed dinner before our cruise the next day. But WOW it was great! Very friendly service, nice menu, not too pricey. Great cocktails (Patron margarita is awesome). Food was very good too. You must try the key lime pie. I HATE key lime pie and this was to die for. Coconut shrimp was great as was the skirt steak with chimmichurri. The whole place has a very relaxing South Beach kind of vibe. Wish I was in Florida so I could go back!!!
- We requested a special tableCPdinerVIPDined on 2/25/2012We requested a special table for a birthday celebration. Didn't get it. They totally disregarded our requests put into the comments section on our reservation.
- Great ambience and our waiterCrazyaboutCrazyVIPDined on 2/24/2012Great ambience and our waiter was great but the kitchen was slow. Stone crabs were just OK. Worth a try.Special Features:
- I was excited to try BiminiAdamDined on 2/24/2012I was excited to try Bimini Boatyard because it seemed to be one of the few seafood restaurants in the area that (1) had a view, (2) was reasonably priced, and (3) was not a dive. I generally enjoyed the food, but the service was much less than I had hoped for given the restaurant's setting, impressive building, and reputation. To start with, the drink specials advertised in the drink menu were "no longer available." The waiter then recommended the calamari and said, "So good. I'll order you one." We barely caught him in time to say no, we don't want any calamari. The food itself was well-prepared, if a little bland. Annoyingly, a passing waterboy kept slamming his pitcher into a plate on a table behind us. All in all, I wouldn't return.Special Features:
- Although our group was relativelyOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/21/2012Although our group was relatively large (10), the server handled it pretty well. Most were visitors to Florida and were loving sitting outside on the water watching some of the really big yachts up and down the canal. Just about everyone in the group ordered fish--some daily specials and some chef menu specials--and all the fish was cooked extremely well and was tasty.Special Features:
- nice scenery...OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/20/2012Went here for brunch with my two kids ages 4 and 5 yrs old. We ate outside and the scenery was beautiful. My waitress on the other hand was a little short and impatient. She expected me to know what i wanted to order, knowing we just arrived was just ordering drinks. I asked her to give me some time please. Beyond the rush to order feeling, the restaurant overall really is a nice place to eat.Special Features:
- Our fingers crossed, we'll be back!JanabelleVIPDined on 2/19/2012Big restaurant and our initial reaction was uh-oh, way too big and too touristy - but ultimately the outcome was a great evening and dinner! We hope this nice Fort Lauderdale surprise stays consistent and special! Management take note...winner here, but we can see how it could become more of a "trap" for the cruise ship players than a destination for anyone else. We hope not and we plan to be back in a couple weeks!
- Great setting ok food poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/18/2012Ambiance/setting great.Menu looked great.Food was ok but should have been better.BIG problem was the service.We reserved on line for a table outside.Website made it look confirmed.When we arrived on time we were told that outside tables were first come first serve and we had to wait THIRTY minutes.Further, the hostess did not even apologize and acted as if she did not care.Then, the waitress generally had a poor attitude. When one of our party asked what came with the entree, the waitress said "its on the menu" (if it was it was not clear) and acted like she was put out when she had to explain.When the food showed up the waitress was not around & we had no utensils.We asked and the busboy brought forks (no knife spoon or even napkin).Special Features:
- The food was cold and thePhilly4FoodVIPDined on 2/17/2012The food was cold and the service was very poor. Crab cakes were warm on the outide and cold (frozen?)on the inside. Rather than have the waiter apologize for forgetting salad dressing,ice tea refills, etc., he should have stopped over to find out if everything was okay. He could not be found to pay for the dinner after the check was left at our table. Another member of the wait staff had to take the credit card.
- Was hoping for a special eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2012Was hoping for a special evening for Valentines since they were offering a V-Day special....but not even a candle on the table was lit or red heart anywhere but the hostess table! Very disappointed!Special Features:
- We had a very good experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2012We had a very good experience at Bimini Boatyard. Our waiter was courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu items when we asked questions. Each of us ordered a different entree and we were all very satisfied with the presentation on the plate, portion size, and most importantly the flavor. We would definitely go back and recommend it to friends/family.Special Features:
- It seemed like it was goingRoseDined on 2/14/2012It seemed like it was going to be disappointing as the outdoor seating we had requested in our reservation 2 weeks prior was full and we were seated inside. Then, a Valentine Special that was on the internet was not available and they had one much less appealing. But, our waitress was wonderful and attentive and made some wonderful recommendations. We started with a glass of wine each along with raw oysters and calamari, which were both outstanding dishes. I had the crab cakes and my husband had a snapper dinner with spinach and potatoes - both were generous portions and the food was delicious. We shared a key lime dessert and espresso to end a lovely evening.Special Features:
- Food was great. Service wasOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/14/2012Food was great. Service was fair. Seated by hostess then ignored for the next 20 minutes. Restaurant was not that busy. I could see wait staff standing by the kitchen talking. Other patrons that had been seated after us were already getting drinks and appitizers. After 20 minutes of no service after being seated had to ask a waitress serving another table if we could get some water. Different waiter finally showed up. Service was good during the dinner after the waiter for our table finally showed up.Special Features:
- The food was very good, butymcebsVIPDined on 2/11/2012The food was very good, but they ran out of rice, and the oysters on a half shell weren't chilled. Since we are all healthy, i assume they were fine :) Overall, nice place, good food.
- We ate dinner here the eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/11/2012We ate dinner here the evening before departing on a cruise. The meal was excellent. The service started out fantastic but as the night wore on and our server had more tables the service slowed down a bit. No problem for us as the only thing we had on our schedule that evening was dinner. Great food and a festive atmosphere! EnjoyedSpecial Features:
- An all around good deal forMrSmithGoesToBiminiDined on 2/4/2012An all around good deal for food, location, & ambiance. Allow time for your meal as with many popular restaurants, service can a bit slow at time. Although generally worth the time. We will go back again!Special Features:
- excellent,our go to placePOJODined on 2/4/2012excellent,our go to place for good everything. consistincy.Special Features:
- If I wanted food that tastedOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 2/3/2012If I wanted food that tasted like it had come from a freezer and with that classic heated in a microwave smell, I could have stayed home....awful experience.
- Food is average, locationenjoygoodfoodDined on 1/28/2012Food is average, location and view is great, service was fair this night.Special Features:
- Just ok food...priceySamiDined on 1/27/2012Disappointed with food. The seafood was ok. Certainly not worth the price.... Only thing this place has going for it is the Outside dining ...... beautiful view.Special Features:
- We sat outside on the deckOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/25/2012We sat outside on the deck overlooking the canal and boats at candlelight. Lovely, casual- sorts were fine. Their ribs were terrific- meaty, smoky, great sauce! Their black grouper was also terrific.Special Features:
- I dine at Bimini often. TheOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 1/25/2012I dine at Bimini often. The food is excellent, the fish is fresh and for the most part the Servers do a great job. I occasionally sit at the bar for informal dining yet the Bartenders give great service. A great spot to bring out of town guests especially for the Sunday Brunch.Special Features:
- Upon Arrival for my ReservationOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 1/21/2012Upon Arrival for my Reservation at 7:30pm we didn't get seated until 8:15pm. We inquired a couple of times about the reservation and they replied that the people were still at their table. My suggestion for them is that when you have a reservation at a certain time you shouldn't be seating people at that table. When we sat down, the Manager was very unprofessional and said that our reservation was for 8:00pm. He yelled at us saying that our reservation was for 8:00pm instead of 7:30pm. We had to correct him. We inquired about Happy Hour drinks being served till 8:00pm and the manager said that it was only if you were at the Bar. What does a Bottle of Wine for $5.95 cost to smooth things over. I could go on. We were a party of 6.
- We were a party of three.tchessVIPDined on 1/20/2012We were a party of three. We sat down and waited for 15 minutes to meet our waitor. We ordered a diet coke. After 15 minutes when it still had not arrived we left the restaurant. The neighboring table said that the service was terrible and that they were ignored. We did not want to wait to be totally disappointed.
- noisy restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/14/2012We found the restaurant to be very average......extremely noisy. Difficult to converse with table mates. Service was poor and waiter seemed new to the job. Other staff had to pick up his slack and help him get his orders out. Food on a scale of 1-10 was a 5 at best.Had a headache by the time we left. We would not go back.Special Features:
- We dined prior to a show atOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 1/13/2012We dined prior to a show at The Broward Center of the Arts. Food was really good! Sat outside on the patio, was great night for sitting outside. Really enjoyed our dinner! Calamari was delicious as we're our entrees, both of us had fish. Recommend eating here if you've never been, you will not be disapponinted.Special Features:
- We have been going to BiminiOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 1/10/2012We have been going to Bimini Boatyard for the past 20 yrs. This will probably be the last time. We were very dissapointed with the food. We sat outside which is beautiful but the waitress felt the need to bring out her broom and start sweeping around us. Definitely not the Bimini we used to enjoy!
- Disappointed mainly in the viewOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/10/2012We went in the evening when it was dark outside expecting a water view. The hostess asked if we wanted a booth or a table and when I asked what was the difference, she looked at me like I had three heads. There was no room on the outside deck overlooking the water and both place where she sat us were disappointing from a view standpoint. From the inside of the restaurant it is hard to see outside as the partitions are high. The noise level was very high with the vaulted ceiling.

Now, I … Continue Reading »

I have a BT Home Hub 3 and quite often get messages "cannot connect to network". I have many (>20) devices connected. Have I reached the limit? With four kids in the house the pressure to connect even more devices is growing. What's the solution?

Perhaps you will have better luck asking here ?
On this page if you scroll down about one third of the way it shows DHCP Server settings if there is a limit set it will be here, this example would seem to be limited to 9 connections, but it does appear that adjustment can be made
They do have a forum to ask questions
Cheers HC

3 area hospitals are ranked among best in nation
Three hospitals in Washington have been named as "top hospitals" in the country by a nonprofit organization.
Three hospitals in Washington have been named as "top hospitals" in the country by the Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit organization funded by large public and private employers seeking to reward the highest performing hospitals.
Swedish Medical Center and Virginia Mason Medical Center were named as top hospitals, a designation given to 67 hospitals across the country with scoring on safety and care issues. For example, scoring includes rates of medical errors, death among patients undergoing high-risk procedures such as heart-bypass surgery and readmissions for patients with conditions such as pneumonia and heart attack.
MultiCare Mary Bridge Children's Hospital & Health Center in Tacoma was among 12 top children's hospitals named by Leapfrog.

Hi: 8° Lo:6°
Wednesday 02 January 2013 Updated: 04/01 14:27
PROTESTS were held at Coventry train station on Wednesday as anger grows over rising fares.
A collection of pressure groups held the early morning rally as part of efforts to lobby politicians and train firms over the average 4.2 per cent season ticket hike.
Leaders of the Fair Fail campaign said the inflation-busting rise - which is as high as six per cent on some routes - was the tenth in as many years.
It comes as London Midland passengers were offered £7million of free tickets as compensation for the disruption caused by a recent shortage of drivers.
A spokesman for the Fare Fail campaign - led by Together for Transport - said: "Rail fares are currently rising three times faster than wages, so January's increase will have a severe detrimental impact on Britain's millions of commuters and train passengers.
"By the end of this Parliament fares will have increased by a staggering 20 to 25 per cent."
Train firms have defended the increase while government ministers said they were planning to cap them from 2015.
Michael Roberts, chief executive of the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), said: "Successive governments have required train companies to increase the average price of season tickets every January since 2004 by more than inflation.
"Ministers want passengers to pay a larger share of railway running costs to reduce the contribution from taxpayers while sustaining investment in better stations, new trains and faster services.
"Train companies are working with the rest of the rail industry to cut the costs per passenger and so give ministers the opportunity in future to move away from their policy of above-inflation annual fare rises."
The London Midland compensation scheme for passengers affected by the driver shortage will see all season ticket holders get five days free travel.
However calls for the firm to be stripped of the franchise have fallen on deaf ears with the Department for Transport confirming it has extended its contract until 2015. It was due to end this year.
A London Midland spokesman said: "We recognise recent disruption has been unacceptable to passengers. It is also not what we expect of ourselves and we are sorry, but the government has concluded we are we are best placed to deliver improvements measures."
Transport minister Norman Baker added: "The company need to be clear we will continue to monitor their performance closely and take firmer action if necessary."

Product description
The authors in this collection join an animated debate on the persistence of Romanticism. Even as dominant twentieth-century cultural movements have contested Romantic "myths" of redemptive Nature, individualism, perfectibility, the transcendence of art, and the heart's affections, the Romantic legacy survives as a point of tension and of inspiration for modern writers. Rejecting the Bloomian notion of anxious revisionism, "The Monstrous Debt" argues that various kinds of influences, inheritances, and indebtedness exist between well-known twentieth-century authors and canonical Romantic writers. Among the questions asked by this volume are: How does Blake's graphic mythology submit to "redemptive translations" in the work of Dylan Thomas? How might Ted Hughes' strong readings of a "snaky" Coleridge illuminate the "mercurial" poetic identity of Sylvia Plath? How does Shelley "sustain" the work of W. B. Yeats and Elizabeth Bishop with supplies of "imaginative oxygen"? In what ways does Keats enable Bob Dylan to embrace influence? How does Keats prove inadequate for Tony Harrison as he confronts contemporary violence? How does "cockney" Romanticism succeed in shocking John Betjeman's poetry out of kitsch into something new and strange? "The Monstrous Debt" seeks to broaden our sense of what "influence" is by defining the complex of relations that contribute to the making of the modern literary text. Scholars and students of the Romantic era will enjoy this informative volume.

Donate your smartphone to science, but only when you sleep
The PowerSleep app puts users' smartphones and their processors to good use when they're charging at night.
Published Tuesday, February 18, 2014 7:53AM EST
A new app puts users' smartphones and their processors to good use when they're charging at night.
Called PowerSleep, the app is a collaboration between Samsung and the University of Vienna, and it uses devices' processing power for crunching through scientific research.
It does this via an alarm clock. When it is set and the phone is plugged in for charging and connected to a Wi-Fi network, the university's Faculty of Life Sciences can harness its power for the good of furthering our understanding of genetics, biochemistry and cancer, among other areas.
With the app running, each phone becomes a part of the existing Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, which already draws on the idle processing power of some 60,000 PCs worldwide.
PowerSleep is a great way for cash-strapped academic institutions to build improvised supercomputers, and people who install the app will be able to see how their devices are being used and the nature of the research their processors have been crunching through.
Earlier this month, Cancer Research UK launched a smartphone game called Genes in Space that also aims to harness mobile devices' power in order to further scientific research. However, instead of using idle processor capacity, the game uses players' human ability to spot patterns.
The worlds that players must navigate are actually data points and by plotting a course through each field of what appear to be asteroids they are actually highlighting patterns in research related to breast cancer.
PowerSleep is available to download for Android from the Google Play Store now.

Rockfordians honored by NeighborWorks America
NeighborWorks America has announced that Bob Campbell, executive director of the Rockford Area Affordable Housing Coalition, and Alan Zais, executive director of the Winnebago County Housing Authority, are two of 50 leaders nationwide selected for the NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence in Community Development Program, conducted in conjunction with Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
NeighborWorks Achieving Excellence in Community Development Program is an 18-month educational program for senior leaders in community organizations that have a focus on affordable housing, community revitalization or other community development endeavors. At the beginning of the program, participants select a specific and significant challenge facing their organizations for which solutions will not only dramatically change how their organizations do business, but also enable them to make lasting change in their communities. By the end of the course, one can expect to have achieved measurable successes to address that challenge.
NeighborWorks America, the country's preeminent leader in affordable housing and community development, works with a team of executive coaches, with renowned author and thought-leader Douglas K. Smith and with Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. NeighborWorks America has graduated 229 executive directors, CEOs and other senior leaders since the program began in 2002 with astounding results from each class.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage & Another Legend Confirmed For "WWE '12"
by Amish Patel - October 26, 2011
The December 2011 issue of WWE Magazine has an article highlighting ten features in THQ's upcoming WWE '12 video game and it is disclosed that "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Mick Foley will be playable characters via downloadable content pack.
The magazine states: "WWE '12 boasts a WrestleMania-sized roster of icons that, for the first time ever, can be used by gamers right off the bat. Superstars such as Demolition, Ricky Steamboat, Kevin Nash and others are available initially: future downloadable greats will include the likes of Shawn Michaels, Randy Savage and Mick Foley. Oh yeah, and they'll also offer alternate attire for Edge and Christian, a throwback to their late-'90s tag team heyday, just for the benefit of those with flash photography."
THQ announced the first group of downloadable characters earlier this week: Shawn Michaels, Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross and Michael Cole.
