A word from Wolfgang Puck's Spago in the Four Seasons Resort Maui
Wolfgang Puck's Spago offers panoramic ocean views from the bar and restaurant serving California cuisine with Pacific Rim influences and local Hawaiian flavors. The Mobil Four Star restaurant opened at the Four Seasons Resort Maui in 2001, teaming America's greatest chef with the world's finest hotel group. The Asian-inspired, contemporary designed room is sophisticated, yet relaxed, with carefully selected furnishings that provide both family comfort and romantic evenings both indoors or on the exterior lanai. All of this creates the perfect stage for Chef Cameron Lewark's brilliant menu, using Hawaii's premier produce, fish and meats, with the styling that made Spago famous. Utilizing only the finest ingredients available from the Hawaiian Islands, the menu presents a fusion of Hawaiian and California cuisine, embracing the tradition of the Islands culinary techniques. This inspired menu offers Wolfgang Puck's classics as well as many locally inspired dishes.Continued

- Excellent dining experience.KieferFamVIPDined on 11/25/2014From the steak, to the chicken and of course all of the seafood, all 8 of us had wonderful dinners. All cooked perfectly. Spago is our island favorite. Last year, Mr Puck came over to say hello- we missed you this year!!! The staff was wonderfly attentive and helpful. Happy thanksgiving.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/19/2014Had a mixed bag experience. The positives: appetizers and entrees were fantastic and there was a solid wine menu. All of the different servers were really attentive and friendly. Setting was special and went later in the evening so it was relatively cool and less busy. The negatives: desserts were pretty ordinary - only food ordered not really worth the price tag in my opinion. Aside from how nice the staff were, there were probably 5 or 6 different people coming to the table, which was distracting cause they asked a lot of the same questions - coordination was whacky and off. The most disappointing part of the experience was the servers kept coming to the next table offering rounds of complimentary apps, drinks and desserts. Tact anddiscretion were seriously lacking. It was embarrassing to witness and kind of like a slap in the face to be around as a paying customer. I wouldn't discourage anyone from dining at this particular Spago, but this left a bad impression and as a result we won't return.
- Great service Rob was greatJayDalyVIPDined on 11/17/2014Rob from Chicago was an outstanding server. Best service I've had recently. Meal was stellar all around. Fantastic experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hits and missesChowza24Dined on 11/16/2014The prices are obscenely high, even by Hawaii standards. The food was sometimes Very good (tomato and burrata salad although tomatoes under-rype at $22.) and sometimes just okay (red curry with mahi mahi for $44). Service was hit and miss edging to miss. At our table and the next 2 tables, the waiter apologized for some error ( in our case not bringing dressing on the side, as requested). Were it not for the stunning setting, I would avoid.Special Features:
- Great food, slow serviceAnniversaryDined on 11/16/2014The food and the menu are terrific! Everything we had was excellent. My husband has the tomato soup starter and it was amazing! I had the risotto and it was divine! My husband had the chicken for his entree - more on the cooked side and it was still so moist, really delicious. I had the ahi and it was fabulous. The service was really slow but we have probably the best table in the house so not a big issue but by the 2.5 hour make, I was pretty exhausted (time change).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a blessing!IenjoygoodfoodDined on 11/14/2014You are all amazing. We visit Maui several times a year. Each time we visit the island, we visit Spagos. It truly is a wonderful place with amazing food, view. We already have our reservations for our next visit. We cant wait. We value all of you as the treasure that you are. Thanks, Alan and Elizabeth MauldinSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Some good, some badLyndaVIPDined on 11/13/2014First, the food was excellent. Unfortunately, it took ages to be served after we ordered. Each course took a long time. We weren't expecting it to be fast but it was much slower than it should have been. We were seated on the terrace, but the view was awkward. My husband had a view of the water while my view was of a blank wall. We were seated next to two large tables that were covered in green plastic and we were close to the busboy station. A bit like dining in an alley. Not exactly conducive to what we'd planned as a romantic dinner. The music does NOT fit what should be a classy venue. It would be much more fitting to have Hawaiian music playing softly in the background rather than loud classic rock. For so much expense, I expect the service, atmosphere and food to all be great. One out of three is not enough.
- dissapointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/13/2014we were seated promptly and asked for an outside seating and they moved us agreeably. Our waiter was too condescending and really tried to sell us on certain menu items. we ordered drinks, he came by to see how they were, when I told him my mojito was not the best and I was disappointed, he simply said he would let the bartender know. no offer of another drink. food was delicious but very overpriced, especially the chicken which our waiter insisted we try.
- Hawaii dinnerKerryDined on 11/11/2014We spent 8 nights in Maui at the Four Seasons. We ate at all of the restaurants on property and Spago was our least favorite. We aren't afraid to spend money on a good meal and this was the most expensive dinner we had. Food was just okay (I had the lobster bouillabaisse and husband had the filet). Service was off and this simply wasn't the memorable meal we had hoped for. Not worth the money.Special Features:
- A dissapointmentHollywoodbobsterDined on 11/9/2014We have been to Spago several time before and always had great meals, unfortunately this time it was truly inferior. We went for the Wailea Week Special. One entree was a Ham plate. It could have been the meat that is put under the eggs at a less that average cafe serving of "Eggs Benedict". The other Special was a "Tahitian Shrimp" consisted of 5 decent shrimp. One of our party ordered Mahjong and it was truly over cooked and very tough. unforgivable. I would have sent the entire meal back, but my family wouldn't allow it. I would also add that the $17.00 MaiTai's were truly unplesant.Over $300 for the four of us and it won't happen again.Special Features:
- Outstanding!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/8/2014This was one of our favorite meals. Everyplace you go that is "touristy" in Wailea is expensive. We didnt think Spago was anymore expensive than the other 4 star restaurants. The thai seafood red curry was outstanding. The view is amazing and our server David was awesome. Great experience. The decor is beautiful, but more in a vegas-y way than a Hawaiian way if you are sitting anywhere other than outside. Not that that matters, just an observation.Special Features:
- Loved it!HallerVIPDined on 11/3/2014The food and service were fantastic, I'd highly recommend the place and definitely go back here!!Special Features:
- Outstanding!FoodiebobDined on 10/30/2014We dined here our last night and I wish we went here earlier because we would have come back for a 2nd time. During our stay we dined at 5 different fine dining restaurants within the area and Spago was #1. We went early for the sunset and our table was perfect for the viewing. Service was excellent, but best of all the food is outstanding! Tagliatelle Bolognese was the best I ever had along with their Big Eye Tuna. Had the Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert which topped off a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible times a billionbrooklynsamDined on 10/29/2014Food is 13 out of 10. Service was some of best I've ever had. View is stunning. Get the ahi tuna cones or die unfulfilled.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic!NYCFoodieVIPDined on 10/25/2014We always dine at Spago on our last night on Maui. They never disappoint. The food, service and views are spectacular! We highly recommend for a truly amazing experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely eveningMorningGloryDined on 10/16/2014We had a lovely evening with friends. Be sure to ask for the vegetarian menu if necessary!Special Features:
- PapaJVIPDined on 10/16/2014This was a lovely evening for the 6 of us. The view is romantic being seated around 6:15 pm with great food, great service and a great menu. A lovely dining experience. With drinks and or wine expect to pay at least $100 per person.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Celebrated my birthdayMauigirl0618Dined on 10/14/2014We've eaten almost every restaurant on Maui and I can say that spago is the best by far!!! The food is phenomenal, service is awesome. They made my birthday extra special. Definitely come back soon!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!inluvwithmauiDined on 10/10/2014Spago's was an exceptional restaurant from start to finish. The ahi poke appetizers were to die for. The ahi was like butter in your mouth. The drinks were amazing and the wine wonderful. The staff were the most professional on the island. We have had many fine dining experiences in Maui, but Spago's was by far the best. Cannot wait to return to the island for another amazing meal. Highly would recommend.Special Features:
- Honeymoon Dinnerfood4twoDined on 9/30/2014We dined at Spago the first full night of our honeymoon at the Four Seasons Wailea. It was unbelievably well executed from the moment we were seated. View was amazing, food was great, staff were awesome. Simple as that.Special Features:
- Very impressedBobRVIPDined on 9/30/2014We dined here with a rowdy group of 8 and had a fantastic meal. Food and service were impeccable, and the location overlooking the ocean and Four Seasons courtyard were beautiful. Although one of the pricier stops on our vacation, it was also one of the best overall meals.Special Features:
- When in Maui go to Spago'sMauifanDined on 9/26/2014I am not a huge spender when it comes to food. Spago's is well worth whatever your bill shows at the end of the night. The food, the wine list, the ambiance, the sunset, the service, and the clientele are all top notch. I will never miss an opportunity to dine here while in Maui. I even took my kids (8 & 10 yr olds) the first visit to Spago's. Trust me, you can't go wrong. Bring your credit card. Loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spago Still Has ItKauaiMonDined on 9/25/2014Quick review - Went to Spago 4 years ago - it was great. This time, even better. Jeb and Jenna killed it with the service and miso cones, white lily, hello kitty..all great. Make sure to make reservations and unless you simply must be eating while the sun sets, I'd have a drink at the pool and eat later when things have thinned out some.Special Features:
- OutstandingCaroDined on 9/21/2014Several friends recommended Spago's! We had a wonderful dinner at Spago, the food was outstanding as was the service. Can't wait return to Spago on our next visit to Maui.Special Features:
- JTJrocDined on 9/20/2014Beautiful atmosphere, extensive wine list and a view to die for. A must while in Maui.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just about perfect !!CorryDined on 9/20/2014We were staying next door at the Waldorf and a friend recommended we try Spago. We went back for 3 meals, each was as great as the one before. I don't normally write reviews but we felt motivated by the incredible service. We had a great seat on the patio that looks over the grounds and out onto the ocean. Get there when they open at 530 and ask for a spot along the edge and you can see the sunset. The price tag isn't for the faint of heart but worth every dollar!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful view and foodILikeFoodDined on 9/17/2014The view was amazing as well as the food. The service was impeccable and I enjoyed every bit of the dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Restaurant on the Island!JBrownDined on 9/17/2014We visit Maui annually and Spago is ALWAYS on the itinerary, rightfully so. The ambience is perfect, the beach views breathtaking, and service impeccable! Absolutely deserving of it's accolades and five-star status.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lives up to its reputationBigdog782VIPDined on 9/5/2014The kitchen is imaginative and lives up to its reputation as one of the best resort kitchens anywhere. Food preparation was tasty if a bit on the smaller side. The wine list is good but very overpriced. You should have a drink a the lobby bar at the Four Seasons before coming to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This is my first year growing red onions (or indeed onions full stop) and I've loved seeing their bold colours and how they hold themselves upright. Its been amazing the past few weeks the way they seem to have pushed themselves out of the ground. But I really must remember to water them more!!
A friend of mine is affected badly by chemicals and the likes of air fresheners. What he found in the garden was that the pollen and cut grass often made things worse (when I lived nearer I'd cut his lawn for him while he made us dinner - good trade!!)
Did you ever get symptoms before that might indicate pollen was to blame?
Keep out there in the garden, but ditch the weed killer and see if things change. Its a fantastic gentle way to exercise and keep those lungs strong.
See OL gets the idea. Young people are meant to be worked!! Don't you have hedges to maintain? Lawns to be trimmed? Beds to be dug?
Are we the only ones not on top of our gardening OL if others can lounge around with sofas??
Every time I see this thread appear I have the mental image of old ladies in cardigans ploughing through your strawberry plots with their walking frames chomping away at your strawberries. It makes me giggle every time!
You have mail Mrs G!!
Use him as a cushion and waste those muscles when he could be working up a sweat digging you a new vegetable patch?! What a waste!
I'm not so sure PunkDoc. Being a Yorkshire bug it might be the kind of bug to march up to the borders and... stay in Yorkshire whilst gesticulating heavily. What we have is special - can't do with sharing it around with anyone outside. A Yorkshire bug would explain the lack of snotty noses that normally accompany bugs - can't be doing with having to spend money on tissues!
Now if it was a Scottish bug.. that would would wipe out the Southerners and lay waste to the tissue factories.
As they've said it wont be light that's the problem (I'm sure I read that strawberries love the sun and don't like to be in the shade) but the soil drying up. I'm growing in pots this year (hoping to have a bed for them next year) and I am giving mine a little water both morning and night (feeding them once a week) so that the soil doesn't dry up.
Could you put your pots in a tray of water to give them more water throughout the day?

Will that help?
Thank you Dove. Think I must have a virus or general fatigue, I was fine at the weekend (4 hours sleep, stood up all day, driving ambulances, generally NOT resting or eating well) but I've no energy at the moment. It seems to strike worst when I'm about to go to work. I keep hinting at my partner that we need a holiday but it isn't sinking in! Oh well - hopefully I'll get him in the garden tonight digging the chicken area out a little more and maybe that'll convince him that BEFORE the chooks arrive would be a really good time for a long break!
I wasn't going too but I really wanted to do something for the Christmas meal and with the vegetable plot a long way from being ready potatoes in bags might well be the way forward for this year! I'll keep an eye out at the local garden centres and if I spot some I'm sure I'll be tempted.
(This all depends on the greenhouses being dismantled / painted / slabs laid for the new base / erected / electricity supplied to one of them / my not filling them with over wintering chillies and other plants as this years are a little slow to get a move on...)
Not happy about it!

Communicating early and often with your child's teacher is an important aspect of ensuring your child has the best possible education. Yet, sometimes parent-teacher conferences can be stressful for a variety of factors. In this article we provide a how-to guide for making the most out of your parent-teacher conference experience.
The Common Core State Standards were developed as a means to prepare K-12 students for success in college or the workforce upon graduation from high school. Since their inception, they have been adopted by 43 states. While much support has been given for the standards, many criticisms have emerged as well.
Increasing birth rates among immigrant families from Asia and Central and South America, combined with lower birth rates among white families, means that for the first time in history, public school students in the United States are majority-minority. This shift in demographics poses difficulties for schools as they work to accommodate children of varying language abilities and socio-economic backgrounds.

At the surface a high pressure ridge is currently sliding across the area, and will continue eastward today. The stratus still over northeast KS is starting erode on the western edges, and may linger a few more hours. There is also some mid level clouds that will overspread from the northwest later this morning leaving us partly cloudy today. Low temps this morning will be dictated by the current cloud cover, which has been keeping temps in the upper 20s. Those areas clearing out late may reach the low 20s while the rest of the area will drop into the mid to upper 10s under clear skies and light winds. As the surface ridge moves off to the east winds will shift to the southeast, and the pressure gradient will slightly increase. Although winds should stay under 15 mph with gusts up 20 mph possible especially in north central KS. High temperatures today will range from the mid 30s in far northeast KS to the mid 40s in central KS. Tonight there is not much change in the overall pattern with lows in the mid to upper 20s. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 310 AM CST THU NOV 27 2014 Friday through Saturday, The amplified upper level trough along the eastern US coast will lift northeast into the western Atlantic. Zonal mid and upper level flow across the western and central US will lead to the deepening of a lee surface low across the high plains. Southerly winds across eastern KS will allow High temperatures on Friday to warm into the mid 50s east to the upper 50s and lower 60s across the western counties. Saturday will Highs will be warmer as 850mb temps warm to around 18 deg C with deep mixing. Highs should reach the lower to mid 60s. Saturday night and Sunday, An upper level trough across western Canada will dig southeast across the northern plains. Strong low-level CAA across the northern plains will cause a surface ridge of high pressure to build southward out of central Canada. The surface cold front will move southward into the northern counties of the CWA by Noon on Sunday, then the front will move southward across the entire CWA through Sunday afternoon. High temperatures in the 40s and 50s will occur in the late morning and early afternoon hours, then temperatures will fall through the 40s into the 30s. The ECMWF is a bit slower with the front and good compressional warming ahead of the front could have highs in the lower 60s across east central KS during the early afternoon hours before FROPA. Monday through Tuesday, will be colder as the surface ridge of high pressure builds southeast across eastern KS. An upper level trough over the Midwest and MS river valley will deepen, keeping Kansas under northwesterly flow aloft. Highs may not reach freezing across much of the CWA on Monday and mid 30s to lower 40s on Tuesday. The ECMWF has a colder solution and would once again keep highs in the lower 30s on Tuesday. Tuesday night into Wednesday, The ECMWF and GFS solutions begin to diverge as the GFS is much more progressive in bring a trough off the CA coast east across the plains on Wednesday. The ECMWF is much slower and keeps the upper trough across the far western US. If the ECMWF were to verify our temperatures would moderate into the 40s on Wednesday with dry conditions. If the GFS solution were to verify we could see a wintry mix changing to snow as the H5 trough moves east across the plains. The GFS solution looks too progressive and I`m going more with the ECMWF solution. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1122 PM CST WED NOV 26 2014 For the 06z TAFs, MVFR cigs continue to hover over KTOP/KFOE but this cloud deck should shift more to the east during the early overnight hours, resulting in scattering cloud cover and VFR conditions. Winds will be light overnight as surface high pressure tracks eastward over the area. However, expect winds to veer from northwest to southeast during the morning hours. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Sanders LONG TERM...Gargan AVIATION...Hennecke

Quotes (8)
Shawn: Babysit? Really, Jules, come on. Juliet: Shawn, what have you done today? Shawn: Let's see. I watched some Phineas and Ferb, took a nap, had a snack I'm a little tired. Juliet: Exactly.
Juliet: (about their partnership) I'm sorry Shawn, but it's over. Shawn: I understand. It was fun while it lasted. Juliet: No it wasn't. Shawn: We made a great team. Juliet: No, we didn't. It was a disaster! Partners don't lie to one another, and partners don't run off mid-investigation, and partners do not go through my purse, find my phone and text photos of my dog to every guy in my address book with the caption, "This is you!"
Shawn: I'm a psychic with the police department, this is my partner, Santonio Holmes.
Gus: Good luck getting hired on the case I'm already on Shawn: Well, good luck getting hired on my case that you're not on. Wait, that doesn't make any sense
Shawn: Hey,if Gus is allowed to show off his "expertise," then I'm allowed to show off mine. Lassiter: Spencer, we don't have time to watch you make a snowman out of mashed potatoes.
Notes (5)
Original International Airdates:
Finland: May 27, 2013 on MTV3
Featured Music: "As We Enter" by Nas and Damian Marley
Credits Error: Although billed in the end credits as "Ruth Lake," the name "Ruth Blake" was used throughout the episode, including when Juliet and Shawn were at her house questioning her. Her daughter's name, "Desiree Blake," was shown on the e-mails Shawn found on the computer at the lab.
Special billing was given to Kurt Fuller (and) and Jason Samuels Smith (Special Performance and Choreography by) for this episode. Jason Samuels Smith is an American tap performer/choreographer, who has won both an Emmy and American Choreography Award for his work on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Dulé Hill brought him to the attention of show's producers, as he related in an Entertainment Weekly online interview, "I've always wanted to get to dance on the air, to find the right way to work tap into this show, but it's not always easy. So I'm thankful that the producers and the writing staff came together to make it happen. There's so many wonderful tap dancers out there that just don't have the avenue for the light to be shown on them and for the public to know who they are, so I was glad to be able to have Jason come out so people could see the genius that he is."
The Psych Writers' Room Twitter account held a contest for the best alternate title for this episode. Two winners received ticket stubs from the Los Angeles Paley Center's "An Evening with Psych" event on April 22, 2010 signed by some of the writers for their entries "Nobody Puts Lassie in the Corner" and "Gus'ta Move." Two honorable mentions went to the entries "Astaire Way to Heaven" and "This is NOT Spinal Tap."
Trivia (3)
Geographically Impossible: Japadog, the food Shawn and Gus discuss, is a street food vendor in Vancouver, Canada. It is run by Noriki Tamura, who moved to the city in 2005. He serves Japanese-style hot dogs. They are only available at the cart in Vancouver.
Psych-out: Gag reel from the "big reveal" scene at the lab.
Pineapple Spotting: The pineapple is a small ornament sitting in the circle of a wristwatch on Lillian's desk at the lab when Shawn checks the emails.
Allusions (1)
Shawn: (about Lassiter tap dancing) I don't think we have time to give the Savion Glover treatment Savion Glover is a choreographer, tap dancer, and actor. He starred in the 1996 Tony Award-winning musical Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk on Broadway, which also starred Dulé Hill, giving this double duty as a bit of an in-joke. Dulé Hill also was Savion Glover's understudy in an earlier show on Broadway called The Tap Dance Kid.

Chamber Avoids Questions About Foreign Funding, Hosts Event With Its Foreign Bank Members Tomorrow
"Chamber Avoids Questions About Foreign Funding, Hosts Event With Its Foreign Bank Members Tomorrow"
Tomorrow, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce plans to hold a reception for the Bahrain Banks Association, a trade group for banks operating in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Bahrain Minister of Finance, Central Bank, and Bahrain Ambassador will be attending, and the event listing invites "banks and investment firms" to attend.
The Bahrain Banks Association includes many foreign investment firms that, as ThinkProgress reported this week, have been sending funds to the Chamber. The funds are deposited in the same 501(c)(6) account that the Chamber is using to run an unprecedented $75 million dollar attack campaign, mostly against Democrats like Jack Conway in Kentucky and Robin Carnahan in Missouri. ThinkProgress has documented at least $300,000 in foreign money to the Chamber from two countries alone. Below are a list of Bahrain Bank Association members which the Chamber has indicated are dues-paying members:
– Bahrain Financial Harbour Holding Company (based in Bahrain)
– ICICI Bank (based in India)
– TAIB Bank (based in Bahrain)
– State Bank of India (state-owned and based in India)
The event occurs as the Chamber continues to refuse to answer simple questions about the legality of its fundraising operation for its political attack campaign. Foreign businesses and foreign agents are prohibited by law from contributing to any American political campaign expenditure. So far, the Chamber denies any inappropriate conduct, but has failed to produce any documentation that it is segregating its foreign dues from its American money. According to Graham Gillette, a participant at an Iowa event attended by Chamber CEO Tom Donohue today, Donohue replied to the controversy by simply attacking ThinkProgress as a "blog supported by George Soros."
As ThinkProgress reported, the Chamber has internal fundraising departments called "Business Councils" — like the U.S.-Bahrain Business Council and the U.S.-India Business Council — which are run by Chamber development officers. Promotions to join the Chamber have included promises that foreign firms obtain "access to the US Chamber of Commerce and everything that it does," noting that the Chamber is "enormous within the US." ThinkProgress has reported that the application to join the Business Councils welcome foreign-owned entities, and the application encourages businesses to wire or send their dues to the same general 501(c)(6) the Chamber is currently using for its political campaign advertisements all over the country. See below for a link and screen shot to one such application:
To be clear, there is nothing wrong with the Chamber hosting an event with Bahrain banks, or any foreign-owned banks. The problem arises if the Chamber is using foreign funding to help launch partisan advertising here in the United States.

Cloud Expo® New York Early Bird Savings here!
Identities are everywhere today. Much more than just providing access and auditing for on-premises applications and corporate desktops, organizations are now tasked with provisioning, managing and securing identities for applications running on-premises, in the cloud and on mobile devices. This can be challenging - seemingly forcing many organizations down the path of managing identities individually on an app-by-app basis or implementing complex federated security scenarios that are difficult to maintain.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Keith Mayer, Senior Technical Evangelist at Microsoft, will discuss the streamlined identity strategies that organizations can implement today to simplify provisioning, unify management and increase security for applications in the Cloud era.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Submarine Puzzle Ch 12
Cant work out this puzzle, done the right cart alright, the left cart i cant seem to figure out!
Don't worry Europe get the games the latest because they save the best continent till last.
You need to get the two carts to meet in the middle you can then jump from one to the other. Once you have changed the left hand one there is a walkway you can use to get back to the first one.
On the right side, turn the car so it goes towards the back of the area. Get on it, tell Trip to move it forward (towards the dead end), jump to the pole on the right, climb to the catwalk and cross it back to the other side. Turn the left car around so that it goes to the back of the area as well, tell Trip to move it forward, and voila! The way will be clear for the sub.
the universe in you
Starting from the beginning, go to left section, bring cart on the spinner, activate machine and hop on.
Hope this helps :)
Thanks guys i finally did it watching a video. It was so bloody frustrating and then i just had to guide the subway down to the pool; almost as frustrating! Not doing tht chapter again.

Kim Kardashian Shares New Bikini Photos, All of Which Also Feature North West
Every Thursday, nations around the world gather (virtually) to celebrate a recurring event known as Throwback Thursday, or #TBT as it is known in internet parlance. We celebrate for reasons of nostalgia, of remembering, of not having enough new content so let's just repackage some old stuff and call it good. And, most importantly, we celebrate because Kim Kardashian likes to share photos of herself in a bikini.
For her latest #TBT spree, bikini-clad Kim shared three new photos of her embracing North West on the beach in Mexico. Let us (belatedly) celebrate.
The photos, shared to Kim's Instagram account, were taken during her trip to Punta Mita last week. She captioned this first one, below, "#TBT me and my beach babe in Punta Mita, Mexico."
For the next photo, she opted for a more succinct "#TBT Mexico" caption:
And finally, Kim says "#TBT bye beach #PuntaMita #Mexico" as she walks away into the sunset, presumably to put North West down for a nap or have dinner or take 1,200 more selfies.
It was a good #TBT, folks. Really a truly. One of the best on record.

FOXBORO -- For a team that traditionally has placed such a sizable emphasis on special teams, the Patriots' lack of a consistent presence at the kick return spot over the last five seasons is puzzling.
In 2008, Ellis Hobbs averaged 28.5 yards per return, second best in the NFL (45 returns, 1,281 yards). But since Hobbs was dealt to the Eagles after that season, New England has been unable to find a long-term solution at the position. There have been occasional bursts of brilliance -- including the astounding run late last season by LeGarrette Blount, who averaged 29.1 yards per return in just 17 chances -- but relatively no year-to-year continuity.
Since the start of the 2009 season, 22 different players have returned at least one kick for the Patriots, but no one has been able to provide the consistent support that Hobbs -- who averaged 27.7 yards per return and had three touchdowns with New England -- did over the course of his four-year career with the Patriots.
-- 2009: Laurence Maroney, 21.5 yards per return (13 returns, 279 yards)
-- 2010: Brandon Tate, 25.9 yards per return, sixth-best in the NFL (41 returns, 1,057 yards)
-- 2011: Danny Woodhead, 21.9 yards per return, 25th in the NFL (20 returns, 437 yards)
-- 2012: Devin McCourty, 24.2 yards per return, 13th in the NFL (27 returns, 654 yards)
-- 2013: LeGarrette Blount, 29.1 yards per return (17 returns, 494 yards -- Blount's lack of chances -- he needed at least 20 to be considered among the qualifiers -- left him off the list.)
More often than not, the returners have fallen into one of three roles: One, a part-timer who has far greater value to the team at another spot to risk using him extensively as a return man (McCourty). Two, a one-dimensional speedster who can't do much more than run fast in a straight line and offers little to no value in other areas (Tate). And an offensive skill position guy who ends up drawing the short straw and gets a chance to jump into the mix (Woodhead, Maroney).
Since Blount left as a free agent in the offseason, several players have taken their shot along the back line, a group that includes Shane Vereen, Matthew Slater, Josh Boyce and Roy Finch. None of them have stood out in any form or fashion, and heading into the third preseason contest of the summer this week against the Panthers, the job appears to be wide open for 2014.
Earlier this week, Patriots coach Bill Belichick offered a thumbnail breakdown of just what he looks for at that position.
"Definitely, vision is important," Belichick said. "Speed is important, because the faster you can get the ball from the goal line or wherever it comes down up into that 15-, 20-yard line area, then the more you can avoid that outside guy, whoever it is. You can't really block everybody.
"Well, you can, but once you start double teaming to create running lanes then you run out of blockers and you try to let somebody go -- usually the backside guy, the guy farthest from the ball, that type of thing. So, fast guys can get past them before they're able to come down and make the play. So, speed and then either some combination of quickness and power to break tackles."
While a good return can break down if it's not blocked properly, a good returner can make something happen even if he doesn't get support from his teammates, according to Belichick.
"Somehow or another, returners -- to be good -- have to be able to make some yards on their own," he said. "They have to be able to avoid [tackles] or be strong to run through them, as well as have good vision and find the holes."
From an outsiders perspective, it's easy to think all return work requires the same basic skill set. Using that reasoning, the Patriots should simply utilize Julian Edelman -- who has carved out a niche as one of the best punt returners in the history of the league -- as a kick returner as well.
But Belichick said it's not that easy.
"Kickoff return is a little different than punt returns, because you have so many guys coming down at the same time and you have a chance to generally build some momentum, build some speed and create on the run," he said. "Whereas a lot of times on punt returns, they're right there on top of you, you have to make a quick decision. There's only two guys down there so usually the gunners -- unless the ball has a lot of hang time -- but there's usually that first wave of just two guys or however many of them get down there and then you have that second wave.
"So, the ball handling is quite a bit different, I'd say harder, on punts. Certainly the decision making once you get into plus-50 punting and things like that are a little bit different other than making the come out of the end zone or not come out of the end zone [decision] on kick returns. There aren't a lot of guys in the league that do both. There certainly are some, but there are quite a few guys that do one or the other, because the skills really are a little bit different."
While the Patriots have struggled to find consistency, you can make the argument that last year's movement of the kickoff to the 35-yard line has effectively neutered the role of kick returner. But even with the rule changes and the increased touchbacks, there still were dynamic kick returners in 2013. Minnesota's Cordarrelle Patterson averaged a league-best 32.4 yards per return and took two back for touchdowns. Dwayne Harris of Dallas and Quintin Demps of Kansas City both averaged over 30 yards per return. (In fact, 2013 was the first year since 2007 when the league saw multiple players average more than 30 yards per return.) And while he started slowly -- pun intended -- Blount finished with a flourish in his only season with the Patriots, including two returns for a combined 145 yards in the regular-season finale against the Bills.
Going forward, there's always the possibility the Patriots could rely on a familiar face like McCourty, especially if they found themselves in a pinch. (Although using one of your most important defenders as a kick returner is debatable, the Patriots have never been shy about pressing key players into special teams roles.) And even though Blount emerged as the go-to kick returner of choice down the stretch, over the course of the preseason he only had one chance to show what he could do. That means there could be someone out there who could end up filling the bill.
As of this point, there appear to be three serious candidates for the job in 2014: Finch, Slater and Boyce.
-- Despite a fumble on a kickoff in the first preseason game against the Redskins, Finch showed a good level of quickness, speed and field vision. He had a pair of returns and averaged 26 yards in Friday's game against the Eagles, and the undrafted free agent could use a special teams role as an entry point onto the 53-man roster. (Rookie Jeremy Gallon also is a possibility, but he has been banged up over the summer and hasn't really had a chance to show what he can do.)
-- Slater is a special teams ace who has the requisite speed and smarts, and his field vision has been honed by working on special teams for years. (He's worked as a part-time returner for several years and had his best season in 2009 when he returned 11 kicks for an average of 24.5 yards.)
-- Boyce has the speed and strength, and while he returned nine kicks for the Patriots (second to Blount) for a respectable average of 23.8 yards per return he never really seemed to click in his rookie season, which ended with a foot injury in December. Maybe 2014 could be a different story for the TCU product, who likely needs to show some special teams value going forward if he wants to maintain a spot on the 53-man roster.
Regardless, finding long-term consistency in the kicking game would provide a boost for a Patriots team that has grown used to mostly diminished returns over the last five years, and provide another edge for a team looking for any extra help when it comes to breaking through against the rest of the NFL's elite. And if all else fails, maybe they turn to an offensive linemen who displayed a knack for it in the past?

CT. Senator Richard Blumenthal Wants Backround Checks To Buy Ammo - VideoSubmitted by emalvini on Wed, 01/09/2013 - 15:05
CT. Senator Richard Blumenthal Wants Backround Checks To Buy Ammo - Video
osted: Jan 08, 2013 1:26 PM PST
Updated: Jan 09, 2013 7:42 AM PST
By WFSB Staff
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he wants legislation that would require instant background checks for the sale of gun ammunition. He is expected to take up the proposal once Congress reconvenes.
"They can be done in 30 seconds," he said. "The vast majority are, and they would prevent people who should not have ammunition or firearms from actually buying it."
This would be in addition to the national push to ban assault weapons. But, Blumenthal admits there's one slice of the demographic that continues to slip through the cracks.
"We need to have a strategy on mental health," he said.
