It's been two-and-a-half decades since When Harry Met Sally first proved itself a rom-com favorite, and unlike many films in the genre, it more than endures. Sit back, grab a snack—apple pie with strawberry ice cream on the side, just like Sally—and enjoy this trip down memory lane.
1. Sally's hair when she first met Harry was perfectly '70s.
2. And it's almost better the next time around.
3. This iconic scene
4. It makes you think about the delicate nature of friendships between men and women.
5. "I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night."
6. "I'd like to partake in your pecan pie."
7. Sally perfectly captured the feeling that all women have at one point or another.
8. When this finally happened...
9. The fact that Harry wasn't afraid of looking like a schmuck for the girl he loved.
10. The "Wagon Wheel Coffee Table"
11. The final scene of the movie, when they finally realize they need each other, and Harry is like...
Go ahead, watch for the full effect.
12. Because it only took 12 years and 3 months for this perfect movie couple to find each other.

Are there any restaurant or fast food chains you desire for San Diego?
Although it is always nice to dine at quality homegrown establishments, for some foods, I find that chains are better options than the food available at our local establishments (chain or non-chain). Also, there is nostalgia for chains you grew up with. With that in mind, I list 3 chains that I wish opened an outlet in San Diego.
White Castle
White Castle, creator of the slider, is the original fast food chain. It is the hamburger I grew up with in New York. In my opinion, there is nothing like it, with the perfect melding of the bun, grilled onions, and hamburger patty. (As a side note, their sliders are awful as cheeseburgers, although some people appear to love them.
Probability of establishing an outlet in San Diego: 0.0%
Lucille's BBQ
Lucille's is a chain that now has 13 restaurants, 11 in California. They offer true smoke bbq, and their menu is extensive and creative. I love their smoked tri-tip. They also have a great inexpensive kids menu.
Probability of establishing an outlet in San Diego: 35%; If they did open an outlet in San Diego, I suspect it would be in the Sports Arena area.
Portillo's is an Illinois-based chain of giant cafeteria-like restaurants that has opened 2 establishments in California (Buena Park and Moreno Valley) in the last few years.Their Italian beef sandwiches are very good and cheap (< $5). Their Chicago style hot dogs are also pretty good.
Probability of establishing an outlet in San Diego: >5%
re: mayache
Costco usually carries DD coffee.
re: mayache
Dunkin' Donuts might be the only chain I wish was in San Diego. We do buy the coffee from Costco, but it's not really the same.
I can think of a few chains we always visit when we travel to certain parts of the country, but we really don't eat at chains regularly enough to miss them when we come home. I still haven't been to the Sonic that opened up and I rarely stop at In 'n Out, either. Even if we did have a DD, we wouldn't go every morning. But it would definitely replace the occasional Starbucks run on weekends.
re: mayache
DD had several locations here in San Diego until the early 1990's or thereabouts. IIRC, most of them were taken over by Golden Donuts and they are still fairly close in style to DD. Seems unlikely that DD would try to re-establish themselves in San Diego given their history.
re: mayache
Never understood what the big deal about their coffee is but I really miss the donuts.
re: mayache
They used to have Dunkin' Donuts but they all went out of business because they couldn't compete against the local shops.
I've seen a few Lucille's up in Orange County but never eaten there. Might have to give it a try next time. Have you been to Woodfire Ranch? It's another chain that exists up in LA that I haven't seen in SD. I ate there once and the food was ok but nothing to write home about. I'm wondering how Lucille's compares.
In any case it would be interesting to see another BBQ joint go head to head with Phils in the Sports Arena area.
I'd be curious to know which foods you think chains are better for.
Anymore, after reading so much about the industrialization of our food supply, I've come to see the vast majority of restaurants (chain and "independent" included) as little more than Sysco reassembly fronts - with pre-made commodity food defrosted, reconfigured, and assembled by low-paid, unskilled workers. Chains in particular exemplify this depressing trend.
Also, historically, I'm pretty sure the dubious honor of inventing the fast food chain goes to Carl's Jr.
re: mikec
Interesting - this prompted me to do more digging, and it looks like there's some dispute between whether or not A&W or White Castle is the second fast-food restaurant. New York's Automat is considered the first fast food place. The MacDonald brothers are credited with the first hamburger-oriented fast food place, with a menu limited to burgers and fries only, and assembly line production.
re: Josh
If wikipedia is right (as it usually is about everything, excluding bios and politically charged topics), the first automat (Horn and Hardart) opened in Philadelphia in 1902. The first automat in New York (also Horn and Hardart) opened in 1912.
White Castle is "hamburger-oriented" and is fast food, so why would you state that McDonald's is the first "hamburger oriented" fast food place?
re: Encinitan
Seeing the name Horn and Hardart is a blast from the past! I used to go there as a kin growing up in Philly. It was the highlight of a trip downtown.
I like Le Pain Quotidien. I tried it in NYC and know they are in SoCal and not SD yet. The tartines are really nice for lunch. I also actually like the Pret a Manger chain in NYC for a quick decent lunch to go (or stay).
re: DiningDiva
Ooooh Sanborn's. Good one DD!
re: DiningDiva
hells yes
I wouldn't mind seeing a Beard Papa open up somewhere for an occasional treat, though I heard one once opened up somewhere in East County... It's a Japanese chain noted for their Shu Creams (Choux à la Crème or cream puffs).
I'd also like to see Aji Ichiban, a Taiwan-based chain (with the Japanese name!) of Asian confectionery stores, particularly specializing in various forms of preserved fruits (particularly plums - think Ling Hi Mui and the like) and seafood (such as Sawagani, squid, and cuttlefish) and sold by weight.
The small Hawaiian chain Crack Seed Center would be a good substitute in lieu of an Aji Ichiban.
And really I wouldn't mind at all the Japanese version of 7-11's to replace all of the 7-11's we have here. They actually offer, as well as the other so-called Combini's (convenience stores), decent food at a good price for a quick grab and go meal, and is nothing like the pitiful stores we have here. On my last trip to Japan I remember briefly walking into the nearest Combini from my hotel to pick up a small bunch of the incredible Kyoho grapes. If only I could do the same here!
...and not a restaurant or fast food chain, but would love to see UK's Waitrose chain of grocery stores open up here. They've managed to strike the perfect balance between cost, quality, selection, customer education and service, and cutting edge food products that will give Whole Foods and the like a serious run for their money. And their magazine and free recipe cards are incredible, a Foodies resource to be sure!
Oh I think I can go on and on...
re: cgfan
There was a Beard Papa that opened in Plaza Bonita last year, but it closed, mostly because it was disgusting. I doubt they will be building another location in San Diego, if word got out...
(I'm guessing that whoever was running the place was "doing it wrong," because there are bakeries on Convoy that make much, much better creme puffs-- which in turn pale in comparison to ones I've eaten in LA.)
re: ikeg
Wow, that's really surprising. Any details?
I've never come across a Beard Papa that produced anything but a very good cream puff. Yes one can find better, but there will always be independents that can outdo a chain. Never saw the one in Plaza Bonita, but I'd still give BP (oh oh, bad initials these days...) a second chance in San Diego... Wonder why they located there in the first place? The demographics would favor a location like Kearny Mesa...
re: cgfan
There is a post from mmm-yoso:
re: cgfan
Well, from what I remember, the shell was very soggy, like it had been made much earlier in the day and then refrigerated. The fillings were way too sweet as well, and the filling had a weird, thick texture that kind of reminded me of cheap pudding. Actually that mmm-yoso review sums it up pretty well, so I guess it wasn't an outlier.
As far as Plaza Bonita, my guess is that they were probably trying to cater to the large Filipino population that lives in the area. This place was in the new addition they built on, a stones throw from a Jollibee and and the new theatre.
1401 E Plaza Blvd, National City, CA 91950
re: cgfan
Plaza Bonita Beard Papa started incredibly strong and then went downhill incredibly fast as if they had very little turnover and their inventory sat longer than they intended it to, resulting in a vasty inferior product. It was no suprise they didn't last.
Luckily the one on Sawtelle in LA is close enough to my in-laws to give me my Beard Papa fix.
Hoping for a Dunkin Donuts to return, very unlikely.
Any good bagel chains? I'd love to have them as well.
Although not a chain, Japadog in Vancouver would be a nice addition to the city. Yes, hotdogs with a Japanese twist. Yum.
re: Ewilensky
"Any good bagel chains? I'd love to have them as well. "
nope. the problem with bagels is the water - if you want true NY or Montreal bagels, you need the same water they use in those cities. it's been years since i had a bagel, and even longer since i had one from a chain, but no chain bagel i've had was anything more than a roll with a hole in it.
re: goodhealthgourmet
I was thinking about the bagel issue today in response to this thread. I had always heard the water argument in regards to pizza and bagels, but now that there are good pizzerias here, does that mean that bagels can be done?
re: JRSD
i imagine so, if they use water with the right mineral content. any idea if the "good" pizzerias use local water? unfortunately i'm no longer able to eat pizza so i can't judge for myself. i've actually never even eaten a slice - good OR bad - here in SD (or in LA, for that matter)!
re: goodhealthgourmet
San Diego used to have excellent bagels back when Baltimore Bagel Company was in business. Then in August 1995 the chain was purchased by Progressive Bagel Concepts, Inc. (PBCI, later renamed Einstein/Noah Bagel Corporation) and the existing stores were converted to Einstein Bagel stores.
re: SaltyRaisins
Okey Dokey on the apostrophe. At least it not VIPS
re: SaltyRaisins
I used to eat at Zankou Chicken when I lived in LA back in the late 80s. It was praise by radio food commentator Merrill Shindler that got me to try the place. Supposedly it has gone downhill since the owner died in a double murder suicide with two other family members.
re: SaltyRaisins
I like the Philippines' 7-11 version. They sell all-kinds of different hand-held foods inside...even lots of varieties is siopao. Oh yeah! they even sell booze ib them.
I like to see a Cattleman"s here.
re: cgfan
I'd 2nd Aji Ichiban--wandered through one in Honolulu and it was the Asian version of the Sweet Shop (?) stalls that used to populate the malls.
I'd LOVE Brent's Deli down here. Or any good Jewish deli, for that matter.
King Hua from Alhambra for excellent dim sum.
Burma Superstar and Kowloon Tong Dessert from SF.
Fugetsu-Do from Little Tokyo (the mochi from the place Chula Vista's were strangely salty--at least the ones I got from Nijiya).
Pearl Bakery from PDX. Ohhhh, I can taste their croissants and gibassier bread!!!
re: daantaat
daantaat - I, too, was missing Fugetsu-Do ever since I moved out of LA, that is until I actually visited Hogetsu-do's store in Chula Vista. What a difference over the items pre-packaged for distribution. Fugetsu-Do still remains my reference, but since my first visit to Hogetsu-do's shop the difference seems to be much, much smaller...
However I still wouldn't complain if Fugetsu-Do were to open up here, as unlikely as that'll be...
BTW have you ever come across the Crack Seed Center in Honolulu? Very much like Aji Ichiban, but with a country store kinda feel...
re: cgfan
cgfan, I hold your comments in really high regard...but I'll respectfully disagree for this one for Beard Papa. I thought them meh at best; I thought their creme to be too heavy and their choux just okay. But ITA on Crack Seed Center and a J-version 7-11 (for their oden and pretty good rice in their riceballs)!
re: OCAnn
OCAnn, while we're on the subject by chance is there anything close to a Crack Seed Center or an Aji Ichiban in OC? If so a drive from SD would be worth it. (On the other hand have you ever checked out Aji Ichiban in San Gabriel, in the Focus Plaza? A good alternative to not having a Crack Seed Center if you happen to be in the area!)
Believe it or not there once used to be an Aji Ichiban kiosk just outside of the Cineplex in Mission Valley Center, but the selection was really abbreviated and most who passed by the cart seemed to be puzzled by what they carried! Would have been a killer business had it been located in Kearny Mesa!
re: cgfan
I'm not aware of a Crack Seed Center-like shop or Aji Ichiban in OC. =( The closest of something like that is the Hawaiian section of Marukai in Gardena, which is a very small portion of an aisle. Perhaps the Rowland Heights area (just north of OC) would have shops similar to that, but I've not been adventurous in my middle age.
And unfortunately, I've not been to Aji Ichiban in SGV. =(
If you ever make it up to OC, you might try Cream Pan. Their cream puffs are better than BP's. =)

re: Fake Name
Oops forgot a photo.
re: Fake Name
If you're going to ask for that, a Bouchon would be nice so I don't have to drive to Beverly Hills
re: shouzen
Actually I would prefer an Ad Hoc restaurant over a Bouchon restaurant in SD. We had three meals at Ad Hoc and all were great. We had now about ten different dinners at Bouchon Las Vegas and Yountville with very mixed results.
re: honkman
It's pretty easy to see why dining at Ad Hoc would be a lot more consistent than at Bouchon. For each day, there is only one type of salad, one type of entree, one type of vegetable dish, and one type of dessert available. At least that's my understanding from visiting the website.
re: Encinitan
Ad Hoc has only one 4-course menu everyday but it is not only the consistency which we found missing from Bouchon (which shouldn't be an issue anyway at that level) but quite a lot of dishes are way overpriced for what you get compared to similar restaurants and are mainly reasoned by the name Keller not the quality. In addition we found the service at Ad Hoc overall much better than at both Bouchons
re: honkman
Nonspecifichigherpower strike me down now, but I am forced to agree with the Honkyman. I've not had a bad meal at a Bouchon, but I did enjoy the Ad Hoc entire schtick- the limited, family-style menu and high quality meal.
i'm another one who's curious about the statement that chains are better for some foods than our local spots.
i've tended to avoid chains & fast food like the plague pretty much since college, with two exceptions when i lived in NYC...
the tossed-to-order salad places:
and The Pump:
those were my go-tos for a quick, healthy lunch or dinner when i wasn't cooking or brown-bagging it. i've always wondered why there's nothing similar to either of those concepts in So Cal - i think both would be a huge hit here in SD and up in LA. there was one build-your-own salad place up in Sherman Oaks called the Dressing Room, but they closed over a year ago.
re: goodhealthgourmet
There are a couple of places in SD that do salads tossed to order. One is at SDSU in Monty's Den in Montezuma Hall called Salad Spin. The other is downtown and I'm forgetting the name of it.
re: DiningDiva
of course there's one at SDSU now, because i've been gone for years! ;)
re: the downtown place, are you thinking of Tender Greens? they have an extensive salad menu but they're set combos, not tossed to order.
Tender Greens
2400 Historic Decatur Rd, San Diego, CA 92106
re: goodhealthgourmet
I think she may mean Salad Style. They make very good salads, tossed to order.
Salad Style
807 F St, San Diego, CA 92101
re: phee
hmm, i can't tell from their website if it's the kind of place i'm talking about. at the places back in NY, *you* create the salad from all the items they have available, and then they toss it for you. so you choose your lettuce mix/base, and then pick from an extensive list of add-ins (veggies, proteins, cheeses, beans, croutons, nuts, etc), choose a dressing, and they toss it all together for you. does Salad Style have that option? if so, i need to lobby for them to open a North County location :)
Salad Style
807 F St, San Diego, CA 92101
re: goodhealthgourmet
No, that's not what they do. The salads are just prepared when you order it, but you can make changes/substitutions. On the other hand, what you've described, I'd really like to see. Kind of like a salad bar but you don't have to do the work!
Any entrepreneurs out there looking for a good restaurant idea? :-)
re: goodhealthgourmet
SDSU does the salads the way you described. You select what you want and they toss it for you, in front of you. They also offer a selection of hot protein add-ons including, steak, chicken, salmon and tofu. They offer chopped romaine, spring mix and baby spinach as the bed and about 35-40 veggies, fruit, herbs, cheeses, nuts, crunchies, etc. to add in.
re: DiningDiva
it kills me that SDSU has that option now. when i was in grad school there i used to bring a mini-cooler with my meals because the dining options on campus were so awful.
re: goodhealthgourmet
YES! I completely agree - when I moved here from NYC in 2003, the build your own salad (with exceptional ingredients) concept was just taking off in NY, and I thought for sure that Californians would be all over it, but I haven't seen anything like it here. This is the place where you pick out your greens (of various types) and thenthe chef behind the counter puts them in a stainless steel bowl, and you tell him what additional ingredients you want added. He works down the line, adding whatever delicious fresh things you specify, starting w/other veggies (from standard to exotic, either raw or grilled, steamed, etc), then starches (from items like cous cous, quinoa, homemade croutons, etc) then proteins (fresh grilled salmon, tofu, steak, etc) and then you pick a dressing (again all original, fresh and delicious - not your standard goop). Then they toss it all in the stainless steel bowl with tongs, put it in a takeout container and you go eat it at your desk, like most other NYC midtown office workers.
When I worked in the Chrysler bldg, there was one around the corner on 43rd St that I loved but I can't for the life of me remember the name. It was a new chain (in '03) with only a couple locations around Manhattan...I thought about contacting them and seeing about opening a franchise out here but never did. I've since heard of the good salad place in Liberty station in Pt Loma but haven't tried it and don't know if it's same concept. Also, I see there's a place called Croutons near Trader Joe's in La Jolla...is that similar?
My favorite bagels come from Myer's Bagels in Montreal. I'd be living on them if they were out here - so fantastic!!
re: carli
The name of the Liberty Station restaurant you are thinking of is Tender Greens. Locally farmed produce and other sustainable ingredients. They make every salad fresh to order, you can also choose greens/dressing and add your own "hot stuff" (protein). Great soups, sandwiches and desserts as well.
Tender Greens
2400 Historic Decatur Rd, San Diego, CA 92106
re: foodiechick
while visiting sd, checked out CH. saw good reviews for tender greens. so true. good draft beer (lightning,) reasonably priced 'healthy' delicious food. freshly ground beans for coffee. wish they had one back east. after a taco hit, crave a healthy meal.
re: goodhealthgourmet
It's one of their most popular concepts. It went from $0 to $30,000 a week when it opened. Think there's a market for this concpet? You betcha
There's a concpet in Colorado that does this. I ate there several times when I was at a conference in Denver. I can't remember the name of the little chain, but even though I really liked it, they had some operational issues I didn't care for. They had 18 "signature" salads that had set ingredients and were reasonably priced. If you chose to do create our own salad from their ingredients it was super expensive. Their signature salads were good and had some creative aspects to them but sometimes you just want to specify certain things and be done with it. The place was set up cafeteria style so you walked down the line as your salad was being assembled. This wouldn't have been so bad if their staff hadn't been so inept. Good idea, marginal execution.
SDSU has gotten it right. They have an order sheet with every ingredient they offer listed. You check off what you want, give it to the server who makes and tosses it and hands it back to you. No muss, no fuss and you're out the door fairly quickly, and for about $7 +/-.
re: goodhealthgourmet
looks like we're finally getting a similar franchise here in LA - made-to-order salads, plus wraps and rice bowls, including breakfast! hopefully it'll make its way down to all of you in SD...
re: chris2269
The only thing habit-forming from The Habit is their onion rings & ranch combo. If I could only IV that ranch directly into my veins....
re: foodiechick
Brophy's is a requisite SB stop!
re: eatemup
I'll second Houston's.
re: zare_k
There is better water ice than Rita's, but I would welcome them here with open arms. Gosh, I miss water ice. Chocolate, with a soft pretzel with mustard on the side. Sigh!
I am going to pick a strange one, which is Movenpick (sp?) from Canada. It is really an upscale version of Golden Corral or your generic casino buffet. The food is cooked to order, and there are a huge range of choices. It was not all you can eat, which I feel keeps the quality up. Another, perhaps more realistic choice, is Daily Grill. They are the downscale version of the Grill in BH. They do versions of diner classics. When I am up in Newport, I stop by to get a fix.
re: littlestevie
Movenpick is a large hotel/resort/restaurant chain from Switzerland. The restaurants sometimes work under the Marche International name. There is also Movenpick ice cream which is owned by Nestle
re: honkman
You are right! I was thinking that there was a Swiss connection (one of the stands had Swiss dishes) but I was not sure.
re: ipsit
Frozen custard places do not survive in San Diego. True Hearts in eastern Poway had passable frozen custard, but few people ever ordered it - probably because it sounded "weird" to them. When they were in their death throes, they ended up more of a cold stonish ice cream place (another concept which seems to have faded).
I laugh at the White Castle suggestions. Your taste buds might remember them fondly, but I think many of you have forgotten the effect those things have on most digestive systems. :)
re: RB Hound
Ironically, my college-age son had been bugging us to take him to White Castle ever since "Harold and Kumar" came out. Of course, my wife and I kept going: "But it really, really sucks unless you're drunk or stoned". Finally got a chance to take him to one in the midwest last year and after taking about two bites he just went: "This really, really sucks!".
I'd really love to see this -- a San Diego Fish Taco specialty restaurant. Put Jason Neroni in charge of the menu -- after all, he seemed to really know what San Diegans expected in their fish tacos.
Sorry, but couldn't resist.
We just got back from Kansas City and they have a place that Anthony Bourdain states its one of the '13 places to eat before you die'..it's Oklahoma Joe's BBQ..it's in a converted old gas station and though I don't eat meat, the chicken was off the hook.
Would love to see the Chase from Santa Barbara and Brophy's Bros. too!
re: Beach Chick
Add a shave ice truck while you're at it...
re: Ewilensky
How about Matsumoto Shave Ice and Leonard's Bakery for their malasadas?
re: daantaat
excellent call on the shaved ice at Matsumoto's and Leonard's for the malasadas..
I'll be hitting them both in a couple of months..can't wait!
re: Beach Chick
hit up Matsugen in Waikiki Beach for sublime soba and udon! All Japanese speaking clientele.
the musubi at the ABC Stores make a good, tasty and cheap snack too!
re: DiningDiva
Yes! Taylors = winner!

Keep your Cool
11,500 BTU Thru-the-Wall Air Conditioner with remote
- Universal Fit for Sleeve
- Gold Fin Anti-Corrosion
- 3 cooling and fan speeds with Auto Cool
- 4-way air direction
$599.99Suggested Price
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by PhyllisAnn The Air Conditioner looks great on the box I can't really review the air conditioner because it did not come with a window sleeve for installation. My husband called the 800 number and they are supposed to be sending the sleeve. There is not a word on the outside of the box that says there is no sleeve enclosed, I am very dissapointed. June 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dougc Much better than past air conditioner Works as expected cools large room. One feature that is plus controls are visible from floor level. Last air conditioner you could not see from floor you had to climb up to see. This is one reason why I purchased it. A great value for a good price, delivered to my door by UPS. June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 49er Freak Nice programming feature and quality built Replaced a 15 year old unit with this unit in out master bedroom and used the original sleeve. It literally took 5 minutes to frame in and plug in. A little noisy on high speed but that nicely drowns out the barking dog next door when when were sleeping. Well worth the price. May 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by evilkats Powerful Air Conditioner This air conditioner is a good buy. If you have a dedicated 220V outlet, don't even think about any 110V alternatie air conditioners. They will always be weaker than this one, dim lights when compressor kicks in, or overheat. This unit easily cools a living room/kitchen, about 500 sq. feet. The only complain is excessive noise, but only on high fan setting, otherwise it is tolerable. September 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tester1 Awesome deal and works great! We are a housing authority who have purchased close to 50 of this exact unit for our elderly housing high rises! They work great and our residents are happy with them! Thank You for the great product! No complaints thus far! August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blitz Great Product We love our AC. It is quiet and very efficient in cooling our great room. We have a second unit in our master bedroom, and together the whole house is comfortable without the noise of a window unit. October 7, 2011

Some kids may want to be farmers or firefighters when they grow up after a walk in their shoes at the Marathon County June Dairy Breakfast Sunday.
Along with a delicious meal, families enjoyed a petting zoo, pedal tractor pull, face painting and more at Sam and Jenn Zimmerman's farm in Ringle.
Every minute was a chance for parents to snap photos of their kids and kids to explore the farm.
"I pet the animals and we ate and did the tractor pull and right now we're getting ice cream," said Alexis Jonas.
Izzie Mergen said, "we went up to the ambulance to go see what it looked like in there and I liked it. It was my first time in there."
The dairy breakfast is an annual event during the month of June

A cloud of chlorine at a local hotel forced the evacuation of one wing, while a female guest was taken to the hospital with difficulty breathing.
Emergency crews were called to the Quality Inn and Suites in Fitchburg just before 11 a.m. They found a woman who had trouble breathing after swimming in the hotel pool.
Chief Randy Pickering of the Fitchburg Fire Department says it didn't take long for crews to locate the problem.
"They also realized there was a strong odor of chlorine in the swimming pool area, which led to a little more investigation. It appears to be a chlorine leak into one of the hot tubs."
The manager of the hotel says other guests were moved to a separate wing until HAZMAT crews could be sure the area was safe.
Chief Pickering says they would need to drain the pool and hot tub and properly dispose of the water.

Preparations are being made for the conclave to select a new pope, which will begin on Tuesday. NY1's Vivian Lee filed the following report from Vatican City.
VATICAN CITY - On Saturday, workers began installing the temporary chimney on the Sistine Chapel's roof for the conclave smoke outside.
Inside, workers put the finishing touches under a canopy of Michaelangelo's spellbinding frescoes, including "The Last Judgment" and "The Creation of Adam".
That chapel is said to be modeled after King Solomon's temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
When all 115 cardinals vote inside the historic site, Catholics believe they channel the Holy Spirit in making their choice for a new pope. "It was a time of quiet and a lot of time of reflection and their own prayer," said Msgr. Kevin Irwin of the Catholic University of America. "They're not politicking, they're not chatting while it's going on. They're watching the ceremony of each of them walking up to give their ballot."
Engineer Stefano Marino designed the system that makes the white smoke that "we have a new pope".
"We devised a stove burning chemical substances, non toxic," he said. "That was my most important job. I still have [goose bumps] in my arms."
If that white smoke doesn't appear after three full days of voting, the cardinals will take a day to pray before resuming the vote all the way to the 33rd or 34th ballot. In this case, that day would be Saturday.

Mad Science Awards expose shocking cruelty to rats: Animal Aid names 2006 'winners'
Posted 14 November 2006
On November 22nd, Animal Aid will be presenting special diplomas to researchers across the UK involved in 'grotesque and pointless' research on animals. The theme for the 2006 Mad Science Awards is science's forgotten victims - rats.
Researchers seek to justify their use by presenting them to the public as mere rodents - life forms undeserving of any special consideration. But to see them as nothing more than laboratory tools betrays a gross lack of sophistication and sensitivity.
In fact, scientists have begun to discover what rat fanciers have long known - that rats are capable of showing great affection for humans and for one another, and that they form highly functional societies where, for example, the strong will help the weak to obtain food. Ultrasonic recordings of rats at play have revealed the emitting of chirps - inaudible to the human ear - that are considered to be the equivalent of human laughter. Equally illuminating is the discovery that rats mourn.
Despite the fact that rats have four legs and a tail, live for only 2-3 years, have no gall bladder and cannot vomit, researchers still use them to try to solve human health problems. Recipients of Animal Aid's Mad Science Awards for research on rats include:
University of Nottingham where rats' screams of pain were recorded
In a collaborative behaviour study with the University of Ireland, male rats were injected with formalin - a toxic chemical that causes considerable and lasting pain. They were then put inside a perspex chamber that administered repeated electric shocks to their feet. A microphone was placed above the chamber to record the rats' cries of pain, communicated in ultrasound.
The London Royal Free Hospital where deliberately-damaged rats died trying to pass urine
Eight rats were anaesthetised and had their abdomens cut open. A jeweller's 'jump' ring was applied around their urinary passage and the abdomens were closed. Two rats died three days after surgery from the effects of an over-full bladder. All the remaining animals were killed after three weeks. Researchers noted that the damage seen in the rats' bladders was quite different from that seen in rabbits and in humans.
Cardiff University where deliberate brain damage to rats affected different strains differently
Forty rats were anaesthetised and the skin on the heads peeled back to expose their skulls. Half the animals were injected through the skull itself and into various regions of the brain with NMDA - a chemical that destroys brain cells. After recovering from this invasive procedure, the rats were repeatedly forced to swim in a water maze with each rat having as little as 15 seconds between trials. The outcome? Albino rats swam better but the pigmented rats had better vision in the dark.
Animal Aid's Scientific Consultant, Andre Menache, says:
'These sad examples demonstrate that science without compassion is brutality. The advancement of knowledge for its own sake does not justify inflicting pain and suffering on sentient creatures. These animal experiments are not about real science or helping human beings through meaningful, rational research. They constitute a misguided effort, for which these animals pay the ultimate price. Nor does the law provide any meaningful protection for laboratory animals.
'I willingly challenge any of these scientists to defend their animal experiments in a public debate.'

What should I bring to camp? [NOTE: be sure to consult the full list of items tobring on the registration confirmation
mailed upon receipt of your deposit.] Alarm clock, radio, swimsuit, towel, tennis
rackets and footwear, rain gear, board games for free time, solos or etudes for practice,
and spending money. Don't forget your instrument (have it checked over by a good repair
person before you come), plenty of extra reeds, valve oil, etc. Bring a padlock so
you can use one of the lockers in Mason Hall to store your instrument and avoid carrying
it back and forth to the dorms.
What do we wear for concerts? For the chamber ensemble recital and final concert: nice clothes (no sneakers).
How much spending money should I bring? This will vary from student to student. The college bookstore is open daily for toiletries, snacks, and Fredonia t-shirts and sweatshirts. Some students order pizza during evening free-time to be delivered to the dorm and there are snack machines in the dorms. The camp discourages students from bringing large amounts of money, and recommends somewhere in the neighborhood of $20-30 for the week.
How old must I be to attend the camp? Students currently enrolled in grades 9 through 12 are accepted to camp.
What about health care while attending the camp? Participants will be taken to nearby Brooks Memorial Hospital if the need arises. Please bring your health insurance card, and supply a copy with your registration.
What about housing at the band camp? Students will be housed in a campus residence hall, with resident counselors. Each double occupancy dorm room contains two standard size twin beds, two dressers, two desks, a large mirror and closet. Bed linens, pillows and towels are provided. The residence hall has a recreation room, kitchenette, and vending machines for snacks. Please indicate on the Application Form if you wish to share your room with a specific roommate, as last minute requests cannot be honored.
What Concerts Will I Hear? Fredonia School of Music Faculty Brass and Woodwind Ensembles, guest artists, and professional musicians will be featured in nightly concerts. On Friday night, the Festival students will perform a chamber music concert.
Can I Play in the Jazz Ensemble? Yes! The jazz ensemble is open to students by audition. It rehearses daily and performs on the final concert on Saturday. Students who, in addition to their regular band instrument, play electric bass, keyboard, or guitar are encouraged to bring these instruments to camp and participate in the jazz ensemble. Percussionists who own trap sets should make arrangements to bring them to camp.
What is Chamber Music, and will I enjoy it? Chamber music consists of smaller ensembles such as brass trios, woodwind quintets, and percussion ensembles. These groups perform music with one on a part, and usually without a conductor. Every student will be placed in two chamber groups that will rehearse daily with coaching from the camp faculty. These groups will perform on the student chamber concert on Friday evening.

Just months after emerging from bankruptcy protection on a planned 200-acre Grapevine development, Rafael Palmeiro, the former Texas Rangers slugger turned real estate developer, is trying to collect millions of dollars from a Euless bonsai expert who bought land in the project for an Asian garden attraction.Palmeiro sued Larry Leone and his PLL Bonsai Group, which in 2009 bought 20 acres in the planned Gardens of Grapevine near Grapevine Mills mall. The project was to have hotels, shopping, dining, entertainment, offices and residential space, but it stalled in the recession.PLL Bonsai agreed to pay $4.8 million for the land and initially paid Palmeiro $1.1 million, according to the lawsuit, filed this week in state district court in Tarrant County.PLL Bonsai borrowed $3.5 million from NG20 in Plano to buy the land. NG20 foreclosed in February 2010 after PLL Bonsai defaulted, deed records show.Despite the foreclosure, Palmeiro is suing for breach of contract and says he is still owed $3.7 million, plus $358,000 in carrying costs and attorney fees.Palmeiro made a demand for payment Jan. 18 but has not been paid, the suit says.Leone, a landscape designer, could not be reached for comment Friday. No one answered at a home telephone number listed under his name.The Gardens of Grapevine's bankruptcy proceeding was closed Nov. 6, court records show. The developer filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in June 2011, owing creditors $40 million. Creditors approved a reorganization plan that gave Palmeiro five years to sell the undeveloped property. In April 2012, the Texas Department of Transportation paid him $3 million for 4.1 acres at Texas 121 and Grapevine Mills Boulevard for a road expansion project. Palmeiro bought the land in 2007.Sandra Baker, 817-390-7727Twitter: @SandraBakerFWST

Portion for Analysis: Approximately 15 grams
Kernels and pieces of wheat which have discolored germs that are as dark or darker than shown shall be damage. Scrape the germ carefully to avoid scraping too deeply and destroying the evidence of damage.
Discolored germs that do not meet the minimum coverage requirement may be considered damage provided the degree of discoloration is greater than shown and the overall "prorated" appearance meets the minimum coverage and intensity level depicted.
For example, when the degree of discoloration is twice that shown, only half of the germ area needs to be discolored.

Director Simon West and Nicolas Cage re-team for the first time since 'Con Air' for 'Stolen,' a fast-paced action thriller set during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Will Montgomery (Nicolas Cage) is a master thief who after being double-crossed in a heist gone awry is sent to prison for 8 years. Upon his release he's ready to leave his criminal past behind and try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Allison. The FBI and his old cohorts believe that he hid the loot from the last heist 8 years ago, $10 Million in Bonds. To get his hands on it, his old partner Vincent kidnaps Allison and demands the entire $10 Million as ransom.
Film informationGenre: Action, Thriller
I have to admit I love Nic Cage. The guy has always been one of my favorite actors, and he always will be. That said, he is starting to really concern me with some of his script choices of late. Stolen is little more than a ripoff of Liam Neeson's Taken, whether it intends to be or not. There are some minor differences, but the general idea is the same. The problem with this is that Nic Cage does not fit the lead role.
Nic Cage is a whole lot of things, but he is not paternal. Trying to imagine him anguished over a kidnapped daughter is just not easy to do. He seems too similar all the time to pull off the range of emotions that this might require. Have you ever noticed how Nic Cage looks the same regardless of the emotion he is expressing? Perhaps it is just me, but he simply does not come off as a daddy to me in this film.
Liam Neeson had a steely determination that made Taken a hit. He was very easy to imagine as a father that was only concerned with his daughter's safe return. Cage always feels like he is more about the action and the pace. That is also what makes him so effective as the unassuming slacker or the dispassionate lover in his other action films. This film simply does not fit his wheelhouse.
Whatever the case, the story is a familiar one. Cage stars as Will Montgomery. Montgomery is a master thief that has two partners in crime. Malin Akerman plays his lady friend, while Josh Lucas plays the typical partner. They do a job that is worth ten million dollars and get caught, sending Cage to prison for eight years. This is the bridge that leads to the rest of the film and the drama to follow. Unfortunately, they spend little time explaining the particulars and you are left to guess at much.
When Cage is released from prison, both the cop that pursued him and Josh Lucas both are convinced that he still has the ten million. Cage only wants to go straight and get to know his teenaged daughter. To prove he means business, Lucas kidnaps Cage's daughter played by Sami Gayle. At this point, Cage has no choice but to call on a reformed Akerman, and the cop that wanted to have him put away to help.
This leads to the inevitable "one last job" that virtually every movie of this type requires. The details of this job and how it all connects to the plot are ridiculous to say the least, and it is amazing that the director expects us to swallow it.
There are many unanswered questions in this film, but it just keeps on going right through most of them. The clichés fly wild and crazy as well. As much as I wanted to like this film, I simply could not. Not a sliver of it felt original and none of it felt real. When you watch a crime drama like this, it has to feel real to hold your interest.
The actors in this movie are good enough, but the script just does not give them enough to work with. When you use a tired idea and then add in some basic but unimportant changes, you still have a tired idea.
Cage has made a whole series of bad choices of late with his script choices and he would do well to go back to paying closer attention. When Nic Cage has the right script, he is among the best actors in Hollywood. When he has the wrong choices, it can get rather ugly.
Stolen is ugly.

Fibula Bone And Knee Anatomy
The fibula bone is the smaller of the two bones between the knee and ankle. Together with the tibia, these two bones comprise the lower leg of a person. These two bones run parallel and the fibula is attached by ligaments to the tibia. The distal fibula actually descends further than than the tibia and forms part of the ankle joint. There are five components within the fibula: the body, the lateral malleolus, the interosseous membrane, and the inferior and superior tibiofibular articulations. The body is comprised of the four borders and three surfaces which comprise the majority of the bone. The lateral malleolus, or distal fibula end, is where the fibula connects to the ankle on the outside facing side of a person's leg. The interosseous membrane is made of common fibrous tissues that is used to separate the bones and joints within the body. The tibiofibular articulations are where the upper fibula tibia connections take place. Both fibula tibia articulations are covered in a layer of cartilage to prevent excessive friction.
During the development of the human body, ossification occurs in three places where the birth cartilage becomes bone. The main function of the fibula is not to provide support or strength, but rather to allow muscle attachment. Similar to other vertebrates, the fibula has lost more and more of its function in humans. In this manner, the fibula is commonly used for bone grafts in other parts of the body. One such use is as replacement bone for patients needing to reconstruct the mandible. Fibula knee joint interactions are minimal due to the bone only connecting to the knee at one point, the lateral collateral ligament. However, a significant fibula injury could cause pain and discomfort to this ligament and, if physical exertion is continued, could result in overstretching or tears within this ligament or others in the fibula knee joint structure.
Because of its limited use within the body, injuries to the fibular are not very common. The most frequent type of complication is a stress fracture, or hairline crack on the bone. Excessive twisting of the muscles as well as muscle traction are the usually reasons for a fibula injury and occur most commonly in runners. A stress fracture can exhibit symptoms such as local pain and tenderness and additional pain can result when extra pressure is put upon the bone. Treatment rarely requires surgery or complex medical procedures. In most cases, the sufferer should refrain from exertion until the pain and tenderness are no longer present. To facilitate a speedy recovery, patients can use a brace or heat retainer to support the muscles. In addition, a sports injury therapist may be able to aid in recovery by applying sports massages and advising on when a return to sports is acceptable. As muscle movement is the primary cause of injuries to the fibula bone, prevention is best achieved by proper stretching and warm-up of the muscles prior to engaging in sports or physical activities.

Google and Microsoft in trading places shocker
Microsoft and Google seem to be trading wardrobes of late. Microsoft used to be easy to pick out: black-hat-wearing-bad-guy constantly in hot water with global antitrust authorities and married to proprietary software and not-so-open standards. Google donned a white hat, talked a lot about openness, and was loved everyone ( …
This isn't new.
Micros~1 have, time and time again, missed the boat and then fought hard to catch up by embracing, extending, and extinguishing. Do I need to mention "IE6" or the timespan between that and the next version here? Well, do I? Even HTML5 openness is mostly a lie, as you can see in various "oh yes we're open" followed by "oh we're not really open", or "we're only open with a special tag for us alone" or I forgot what other silliness. That's not what "open" means.
It's even infected nokia, who put it very clearly: "Open" only means "open for business" to this bunch. Any time you think it means anything else, you're being screwed. Sucker.
Had we cared enough we'd browbeaten nokia into publicly apologising for misleading their few leftover fans. But that didn't happen. The word-twisters still have free reign.
What we're seeing here is masterful spin by a monopolist and marketing specialist as a self-declared "not evil" advertising monopolist slides off deeper into the murky morass of, well, evil. It doesn't mean the other guys are suddenly less evil. They haven't moved and still have it in their blood and that's not going to change.
The more I read insightful commentary like this the more I wonder just where companies get their executives from. It's not mere stupidity or callousness. It's probably the reality distorting shades only sold in very secret shops. Actual cursed items that you can't ever take off once donned, too.
"masterful spin by a...marketing specialist"
I'd hardly call Microsoft's marking division a "specialist" group...
I doubt adverts will be the way they monetise Skype.
We get a lot of contact with our customers through Skype, technical discussions, meetings, etc.
Skype-out failed as normal punters are reluctant to pay-up, and more inclined to get their contacts to use Skype, which undermines it as a challenger to full fledged landline/mobile use by reducing their customer base.
'Skype-productivity' or something, that bolts on VNC, shared whiteboards, etc, to enhance business use would be my bet for adding that special Microsoft sauce we then find we can't do without.
Why business has gone and created a dependency on monolithic Skype, instead of the alternative competitive market of SIP based services, is surely a lesson in both the power of marketing and the brains vulnerability to being scarred by freakish new nouns.
Skype's monetisation is elsewhere, it needs no adverts
Having a voice framework that bypasses the operator gives Microsoft the leverage to negotiate with Mobile Cos on what exactly will happen with the VAS and revenue model in 4G/LTE.
If it did not have Skype it would have had to go IMS voice which in the endgame means ending up with IMS for everything. IMS puts the operator in control of the charging model and Microsoft can kiss goodbye to in-app revenue and most app revenue. If your app needs to pay for a permission to talk to the network you are not going to pay for it twice. You will pay for it to the operator and this is one of the weapon which IMS will give to the operators so they can turn the tables on the app crowd.
Having Skype it can now (same as Google with voice and Apple with Facetime) tell the operator "so what, we will not support it and just use our own voice with data instead". It can now negotiate for having a proper part of VAS pie. Even if it goes the IMS route the operators will have to make some significant concessions.
In any case, Skype has given it this option. This by itself probably costs more than 8 billion over the course of the next 5-7 years. Any revenue Skype provides on top is a welcome addition. It is however non-essential.
Good summary.
Good summary of the M$/Google situation.
As usual and always, users have to be wary and protect their interests. Corporate profits and users' real interests are always mismatched.
Sponsorship message
Shouldn't there be a "sponsored by Facebook" on this bit of wit?
Microsoft? Black Hats? They wish!
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
"Steve Ballmer is unlikely to be sainted any time soon"
Certainly not while he's alive.
Hold on lads, I've got an idea!
To be fair...
M$ give away quite a surprising range of software. The "express" products and M$ Robotics Developer Studio seem pretty good.
I know they're looking to push spotty yoof down the M$ path, not being either stupid or unaware of the appeal of quality software at zero cost, but these products are excellent for people who either can't afford or can't justify the purchase or maintenance of the "Pro" series and similar. This must be quite effective in keeping students and the like out of the clutches of the penguin.
Android vs Office and Open Source
Has anyone ever heard of an open version of Office or Windows?!
Can't resist saying this...
"Has anyone ever heard of an open version of Office or Windows?!"
uummm... Open Office :)
and then something "open with Windows" ... Linux has windows and icons and buttons etc..
Pedantry Smackdown!
"Linux has windows and buttons"
Geek cred FAIL
Linux has no such things.
Gnome, KDE, XFCE etc? Well they are a different kettle of fish.
We really need a Saint Beardy icon for posts like these!

A big question that comes with the purchase of any truck is, "How much can it tow?" The often overlooked step-brother to towing capacity is payload capacity, and the 2013 Ford F150 payload capacity is the largest in it's class! A simple definition of payload is how much weight can be added to the cab and bed of the truck. That includes people (a 150 lbs. driver is accounted for), tools, etc. When people want to know more about what the F150 can haul, they ask the question in many ways, so we are going to try and address them all.
The 2013 F150 has three different bed sizes and specs:
5.5 ft. Cargo Box is a total of 55.4 cubic ft. or 2.05 cubic yards.
6.5 ft. Cargo Box is 66.5 cubic ft. or 2.46 cubic yards.
8 ft. Cargo Box, the largest of the three, is 81.3 cubic ft. or 3.01 cubic yards.
All three boxes are 22.4 inches high and 50 inches wide at the wheel house, so depending on your cargo, you may have to use these calculations. (The calculations above are provided by Ford and unless you take into account all the nooks and crannies, your math might not equal their numbers. Check the bottom of page 15.)
Ok, so these numbers are all great, but what does they actually mean? Let's use the SuperCab 6.5 ft. box as an example. With several different engine configurations you can haul approximately 2,000 lbs. (The 2013 F150 payload capacity, when properly equipped, is a class-leading 3,120 lbs.) Well, how about gravel? Gravel is sold by the cubic yard and generally speaking you 1 yard weighs about 2,000 lbs. (that's convenient). So we could fill the 6.5 ft. box about halfway with gravel.
If you wanted to haul something a little more rigid, like bricks, you have to use the inside box for a estimation. The average brick is .036 cubic feet and weighs about 4.5 lbs. That means you can actually put about 1,080 bricks in your F150, but you can only haul about 667.
Now what if you wanted to have some real fun and make a *redneck swimming pool? If the 6.5 ft. box has a 65.5 cubic foot capacity that equals about 489 gallons of water. Each gallon of water weighs 8.35 lbs., so that means you could fill the bed up almost exactly halfway with water. However, what's a pool without swimmers. You would also have to take into account the weight of each occupant.
If we didn't cover the cargo you wish to haul, here are the equations we used, so you can do your own calculations.
Height (ft.) X Width (ft.) x Length (ft.) = Volume in Cubic Feet
2,000 lbs. = 1 Ton
1 Cubic Yard = 27 Cubic Feet
With a little Google magic you can figure out just about anything!
*We do not recommend, condone or suggest you should make a swimming pool in the back of your truck!
