Beautiful Bench. Very well made and great storage. Very pleased. I ordered when there were no reviews so I am extra happy I tool the chance!!
I purchased this bench for my bedroom. It is both sturdy and beautiful. I was looking for something less expensive, but since it was the exact style I was looking for I decided to order it and I'm glad I did. The legs have a bit of a weathered look which I think adds to the piece. The storage area is lined with a soft black material and the hinged lid stays open without having to hold it up. It is really well made and came fully assembled.
I'd been looking for a tufted bench for our bedroom and this was exactly what we were looking for. Many others looked too boxy but this still has a delicate look along with the room. The bench has much more room than I expected. It was easy to assembly, is firm, and matches our bedroom wonderfully. I had actually seen the same bench on One Kings Lane for 2x the price of this one on Overstock once you factored in $*** for shipping (highway robbery!). Am glad I was patient as it showed up on Overstock.

The man actually convinced Barrett to do a striptease in The Human Stain the new Anthony Hopkins movie, based on the Philip Roth novel, in which she plays a '40s dame. He told her: "A young woman's body is a thing of beauty and there's nothing wrong with it. That's the end of the discussion."

Lithium ion polymer (also known as 'lipo' or 'lipoly') batteries are thin, light and powerful. The output ranges from 4.2V when completely charged to 3.7V. This battery has a capacity of 150mAh for a total of about 0.6 Wh.
The batteries come pre-attached with a genuine 2-pin JST-PH connector as shown and include the necessary protection circuitry. Because they have a genuine JST connector, not a knock-off, the cable wont snag or get stuck in a matching JST jack, they click in and out smoothly.
The included protection circuitry keeps the battery voltage from going too high (over-charging) or low (over-use) which means that the battery will cut-out when completely dead at 3.0V. It will also protect against output shorts. However, even with this protection it is very important that you only use a LiIon/LiPoly constant-voltage/constant-current charger to recharge them and at a rate of 150mA or less. We suggest our Micro Lipo charger, which has a 100mA default rate.
Like most lipos, the batteries we sell do not have thermistors built in. This is why we suggest charging at 1 C or even less - 100mA is a good rate, and available from any USB port if using a USB-powered charger
Additional safety notes: Do not use a NiMH/NiCad/lead-acid charger! Also, do not abuse these batteries, do not short, bend, crush or puncture. As with all Lithium ion polymer batteries and with any power source - they should be used by experts who are comfortable working with power supplies.

Activist Rachel Corrie before being killed by IDF buldozer 3.
(photo credit:reuters)
A Haifa District Court invoked the "combatant activities" exception, and said on
Tuesday that the US activist who was killed in disputed circumstances involving
an IDF bulldozer could have avoided the dangerous situation, but calls her death
a "regrettable accident."In the verdict, Judge Oded Gershon invoked the
exception, noting that IDF forces were attacked in the same area in which Corrie
had been killed just hours earlier while protesting an IDF home demolition in
Rafah on March 16, 2003.The combatant activities exception essentially
says that a country's armed forces cannot be held liable for civil damages for
physical or economic harm to civilians in an area defined as a war
zone.The Supreme Court has previously held that the Rafah area was a war
zone during the second intifada, when the incident occurred, even if combat was
not occurring at every moment.Although that ruling already sealed the
case against the Corries, the judge went on to reject most of the main points in
the Corries' narrative.The court held that the driver had not and could
not have seen Corrie because the bulldozer has an obstructed
view.Reading a summary of his 62-page decision, the judge described
Israel's investigation into the incident as appropriate and said it had not made
any mistakes.Notably, the judge did not address the criticism of the
investigation by the US government, which the Corries had repeatedly emphasized
during the case.Saying that Corrie could have avoided danger, he
dismissed claims that the IDF was negligent in the incident.The army did
not violate Corrie's right to life, he continued, asserting that she inserted
herself into a dangerous situation.Whereas the plaintiff said that
Corrie's standing on a mound in front of the bulldozer showed that the driver
must have seen her, the court noted this as a mistake by Corrie as it caused her
to fall – after which she was even harder to see.The court was also
highly critical of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement in
general, and of Corrie's involvement in their activities. The judge went as far as to accuse the ISM of indirectly assisting terrorists in some
cases.In his verdict, Gershon dismissed criticism that the state had
failed to have a US representative present to observe Corrie's autopsy as a
non-critical procedural error.He said that even though in principle a US
representative should have been there, the Corries had failed to make any cogent
arguments about how the absence of a representative had actually substantively
impacted the case.Corrie, 23, from Olympia, Washington, died in Rafah in
the southern Gaza Strip when a bulldozer struck her during a protest by the
ISM.Corrie's family filed the civil suit against the Defense Ministry in
the district court seven years ago. They claim that the IDF either deliberately
killed Corrie or is at least guilty of gross negligence.Senior IDF
officials including Col. Pinhas Zuaretz, the former commander of the Gaza
Division's Southern Brigade, have testified in the trial.Immediately
after the trial ended in July, Corrie's family alleged that important evidence –
including several surveillance tapes that show color footage of events before
and after the activist's death – were withheld as part of a cover-up over the
circumstances of her death.The color footage was used in a Channel 2
documentary, but the IDF has denied that it exists, the family
claims.IDF officials did submit as evidence a black and white
surveillance video with footage shot immediately before and after Corrie's
death.The family also claims there are discrepancies between a
photograph of the bulldozer that they say killed Corrie taken by International
Solidarity Movement activists, and a bulldozer shown on footage presented by the
IDF.Joanna Paraszczuk contributed to this report.

The Barbie blues: Workers describe 'awful' conditions at Mattel suppliers

Mattel, the company behind Barbie and many other toys, has come under fire after a labor watch organisation denounced working conditions at some of its suppliers' factories in China. FRANCE 24 spoke to a worker who served as an undercover investigator for China Labor Watch.
The New York-based organization's
94-page report
, published earlier this month, listed numerous alleged legal and ethical violations at six factories, a small fraction of Mattel's approximately 100 suppliers in China. These include underpaying workers, unsanitary conditions, inadequate safety training, unlawfully long hours, environmental pollution, and more.
All this was discovered during a six-month long probe, during which the group sent undercover investigators to work at the factories and interviewed more than 300 workers. Based on their findings, China Labor Watch estimates that these suppliers annually "steal" between 6 million and 8 million euros in wages from the six factories' workers through a variety of means, including failure to pay overtime and benefits, as well as underreporting the number of hours worked.

Mr. Cheng
"Our managers were under a ton of pressure to produce toys quickly, and they took this out on us"
Mr Cheng (not his real name) worked as an undercover investigator for China Labor Watch. He lives in China, where he had previously worked as a regular factory worker.
Last spring, I applied for a job at the Boade toy factory [located in Shenzhen, in southern China], which is a Mattel supplier that makes toys for the American and European market. I was hired mid-May, and worked there until the end of June. My job was to carry merchandise around the factory.
When I started, I was given a 10-minute talk on what to do in case of a fire, but that was it. I didn't get any other safety training. [By law, factory workers must undergo 24 hours of safety training.]
I worked 11 hours a day, from 8am to 9pm with an hour break for lunch and an hour break in the evening. Others worked 12 or 13 hours. [The legal limit is 9 hours per day. At this factory, some employees reportedly worked up to 100 hours of overtime per month – well above the legal limit of 36 hours of overtime]. I was paid 1,600 yuan [190 euros] per month, which is really not enough to live decently with. [In China, the average wage for private sector workers is about 300 euros. According to China Labor Watch's report, workers at this factory and others were regularly paid a month late].
This pay stub, which reportedly belongs to an employee at Foshan City Nanhai Sino-American factory, states that he worked a total of 81.5 overtime hours in April. The legal maximum is 36.
I lived in a cramped, dirty dorm with other factory workers. [Editor's Note: It is common for Chinese factory workers to live in on-site dorms to save money. This also allows them to work longer hours]. There was no hot water, no kitchen. We lived four to a room, and had trouble sleeping because some of us worked days, while others worked nights.

"If you got sick, you lost your day's wages"
The factory itself was quite unsanitary too. Dirty water was stocked, and dumped outside as soon as it started raining. Meanwhile, toxic substances were dumped in regular trashcans. Our only protection was face masks. It was also extremely hot in the factory, making it difficult to work. [According to China Labor Watch's report, the factory did not pay workers extra when temperatures rose above 33 degrees Celsius, thus breaking the law]. It was awful. And if you got sick, you lost your day's wages.
At the Baode factory, waste water is reportedly ejected directly into a nearby pond.
Our managers verbally abused us. They insulted workers who were slower than others. The managers were under a ton of pressure to produce toys quickly, and they took this out on us.

There were no unions at the factory that we could complain to. In any case, no one dared complain, because they were too afraid to lose their jobs.
Mr. Cheng
While unions remain weak in China,
strikes are becoming more common
. In August, after Mr Cheng quit his job in late June, workers at the Boade factory managed to organise a strike to demand compensation for unpaid social insurance. In the end, they received only compensation for unpaid subsidies for working in high temperatures.

In its report, China Labor Watch argued that Mattel, the world's largest toymaker, is responsible for violations in its supply chain. This is far from the first time the organisation investigates Mattel suppliers; they have put out several reports castigating them since 2000. Their last,
released in 2012
, reported on conditions at four different factories. Following that investigation, Mattel had written to China Labor Watch saying that "with few exceptions, the allegations are unfounded".
This time, the company has responded by announcing that it would review working conditions at the six factories featured in
this year's report.
To try to make sure it follows through, the French NGO "Peuples Solidaires" has started a petition called
"Stop Barbie, the repeat offender"
addressed to Mattel's CEO, Bryan Stockton.

The FBI reported in 2009, 13.7 million people were arrested for suspected criminal acts equating to 1 of every 22 Americans. These statistics do not include arrests relating solely to traffic matters, thereby showing almost all Americans will interact with the police at some point in their lives. As a former Policy Administrator for PA's third largest police department, located in the state's most dangerous area (North Philadelphia), I was able to observe officers apply criminal laws daily and often imperfectly. Police agencies must comply with many state and federal rules when discharging their mandates and this complex legal tapestry provides avenues to defend against a prosecution since the precedents (cases) are confusing and conflicting. I combined my legal training and previous work experience with the police department to create this unique legal guide showing you how to best avoid arrest and prosecution from both a police investigator's and defense attorney's perspective.
RULE NUMBER 1 when dealing with the police is to remain silent whenever possible. While the police do not have the right to demand your personal information without a valid reason there are circumstances where the law requires you to divulge this material. Give accurate or no information, because lying is a crime. The following situations mandate providing the police with your personal information: assault, theft, burglary, wildlife violations, underage alcohol purchase, motor vehicle operation, or they believe you have information to relating to a serious crime. If the police want more: 1. Clearly state you want to speak to an attorney before continuing because nothing is ever "off the record" or secret 2. Unless your attorney otherwise advises, it is best not to answer any questions because answering a few is viewed as deceptive and can be used against you. 3. The police's decision to arrest, is solely based on available evidence so do not give them more.
No You May Not Search
The police can only search you/your property in very specific situations and if you refuse they cannot force compliance unless: 1. You consent to a search 2. They have a search warrant 3. They are protecting evidence before it is hidden/destroyed 4. Incident to arrest 5. Containers/area within the immediate reach after an arrest 6. Vehicle passenger after driver lawfully arrested 7. Police are actively pursuing you 8. A protective sweep for residential arrests, 9. The search area is open fields and not curtilage 10. Borders (airports/trains) Federal constitutional search law alone is extremely complex before supplementing those protections with state rules. Police must clearly articulate why they want to search, what they hope to find, and where the item(s) are. In sum, not consenting to a search puts more pressure on the police to find incriminating evidence, show they did so properly, and can ultimately be the difference an acquittal and a conviction.
It's Not Right, But I Will Go
It is very important to remember when interacting with the police, non-compliance or resistance, will not be a successful strategy for resolving a situation and will only aggravate it. Regardless of whether you agree with the officer's decision to stop, question, and/or arrest you, the best course of action is to follow his/her directions. Even if you are wrongfully arrested/charged, by resisting the officer's commands you are committing another serious crime, which can lead to a conviction despite an acquittal or dismissal of the original underlying charges. Further, the police will view you as more threatening and may cause you serious bodily injure including death. Finally, if the state offers video or officers/witnesses evidence a judge/jury could easily find you unsympathetic/untrustworthy hurting your defense. The best way to avoid a conviction and to not violate another criminal statute is to follow the officer's directions and allow your attorney to speak on your behalf
Can I Go Now?
One of the most important and easiest tests for determining if you are under arrest is simply to ask the officer if you are free to leave. If the officer says yes, you should leave as soon as humanly possible. If the officer says no, then assume you will be placed under arrest. While officers will not arrest everyone who is not initially allow to leave the scene where an investigation is occurring, this answer is a strong indicator the police view you as a criminally responsible party. Usually the situations where the police detain someone without an arrest is for: traffic stops, drug/alcohol sobriety tests, and/or if the subject is an emotionally disturbed person. Therefore declining to speak with the police, explain what happened, or try to cooperate by answering their questions at this point is the safest method to protect your rights and freedoms.
What's The Charge?
The most important factor after you are arrested is to determine what the charges are. This is very important because police often issue different charges then the ones they originally endeavored to investigate. When the police are confronting you, it is usually to initiate an investigation, and the only information available to law enforcement is reports from others and their personal observations. Since, the police are not often aware the exact location or nature of incriminating evidence and if you speak with them, even to "clear things up", you can end up creating a larger problem for yourself. Further, by learning your charges you can start noticing and thinking about possible defense strategies. For example if you are pulled over for suspicion of DWI but are only charged with not obeying a traffic light signal, this shows the police view this case as weaker. Do not forget whatever charges are initiated argumentative and confrontational behavior will not improve your situation.
Why Me?
This is the most commonly asked question I receive from my clients. Usually, people either do not know why they were arrested or do not understand how the police developed sufficient reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain them. The following sections provide general and offense specific methods and common practices the police utilize to develop reasonable suspicion and probable cause. It is important to understand how the police view, evaluate, and proceed with a situation to best avoid being arrested and having your freedom jeopardized.
Why Me (DUI/DWI/DAI)?
Why I Was Stopped 1. Turning with a wide radius 2. Straddling the center line 3. Almost striking vehicle/object 4. Striking vehicle/object 5. Weaving 6. Driving on other than a designated highway 7. Driving on a highway with an inappropriate vehicle (ATV, scooter, bike) 8. Swerving 9. Speed more than 10 miles below the posted limit 10. Speed more than 10 miles above the posted limit 11. Stopping without cause in a traffic lane 12. Following too closely/tailgating 13. Drifting 14. Tires on center or lane marker 15. Erratic braking 16. Driving into opposing/crossing traffic 17. Signaling is inconsistent with driving actions 18. Slow response to traffic signals 19. Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane) 20. Abrupt/illegal turns 21. Accelerating/Decelerating rapidly 22. Headlights off/damaged 23. "Appearing to be intoxicated"
Why Me (Drug Offenses)?
Arrest factors include: 1. Whether arrested person will be a confidential informant 2. Seller/buyer is a confidential informant 3. The area is a zero-tolerance or a special enforcement zone/event (concerts, sporting events, parades, schools) 4. Many different people visiting the same location at all hours for short time periods (20 cars a day go to the same house everyday) 5. Smells when police approach/stop you 6. The vehicle's axle is too low or is reinforced (extra strength shocks on a routine delivery vehicle) 7. Although illegal police make arrest decisions based upon race/gender by simply looking for anything unusual. For example, a middle aged white lady driving a Lexus at midnight in a high traffic predominately minority community would raise alarm bells. 8. Out of state vehicle located in high drug trafficking area 9. Erratic, confrontational, abusive, or other inappropriate attitudes (cannibal attacks after ingesting bath salts) 10. Staggering/Stumbling
What Are You Looking At?
Here are some things the police are looking for when pulling over a driver, initiating an investigation, or they suspect illicit contraband. 1. Flushed face 2. Red, watery, glassy, and/or bloodshot eyes 3. Odor on breath 4. Slurred speech 5. Fumbling with wallet while attempting to get license 6. Failure to understand the officer's questions 7. Staggering/Stumbling 8. Leaning on car/object for physical support/balance 9. Combative, abusive, argumentative, laughing, or other inappropriate attitudes 10. Soiled, rumpled, or disheveled clothing 11. Disorientated 12. Inability to follow directions
The Best of The Rest
Here are some general guidelines for interacting and successfully navigating the criminal justice system. 1. In PA and NJ you do not have to consent to a field sobriety test only a blood, breath, or urine test 2. If you are charged with forgery, have your attorney sign all police and court documents on your behalf 3. Always make sure your attorney requests your complete criminal extract/record before trial. In PA, the state is required to distribute this document in its entirety to defense counsel and failure to do so can lead to continuances against the state and/or an outright dismissal. 4. Do not tell the cops there are worse criminals and bothering you is a waste of time. This sentence only annoys the police officers more and will only negatively impact your situation. 5. In PA, if you are in handcuffs outside your vehicle and did not consent, the police are prohibited from searching your vehicle. If they do so anyway, anything found will most likely be excluded at trial.

The expectation was that ratings for Monday Night Raw would rise this week because fans would tune in to see if CM Punk would make his return or not. However, the opposite took place. WWE saw a 12 percent drop in viewership, which has to be a bit alarming since it is the time period between the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 30.
When Batista made his return on Monday Night Raw, WWE officials were said to be rather upset with the lackluster reaction from the audience. However, management then saw the television ratings for the segment and placed the blame on the Dayton crowd instead.
"So, is the crowd's goal just to be disrespectful now? They get Daniel Bryan in the main event and chant for CM Punk. What the fuck?"
- Lance Storm discussing WWE fans at Monday Night Raw
"It's Punk's life he needs to do what's best for him"

"They need to rename Total Divas, Marrying Divas. we've had 2 weddings (1 aired, 1 taped) and 1 proposal, and we aren't even to season 2 yet."

McKenzie Fine Arts Presents Ursula Morley Price 12/18
McKenzie Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new hand-built ceramic sculpture in stoneware, by British-born artist Ursula Morley Price. Opening to the public on Thursday, November 18, the show will run through Saturday, December 18, 2010.
For her current exhibition, Price has revisited sculptural elements from previous work, some recent, some decades-old, leading to dynamic developments and new combinations. Price exhibited "fountain" forms two years ago, which employed elegantly flared flanges and smooth edges to mimic the graceful fluidity of water slipping over the edges of a container. Her current fountain forms are equally balanced, but much more energetic. With dramatically arched flanges and spiked edges, they suggest forceful spray frozen in time or the wet plumage of a bird shaking its wings while bathing. A spherical pom-pom shape used by Price in the 1980s has been similarly reinterpreted and visually energized. The original longitudinal flanges now have pronounced waves, especially near the equator of each piece. The strong undulations create directional patterns of shadow and light that repeatedly draw the eye back and forth. Price incorporates similar wave patterns into taller sculptures, some of which are capped with mouth-like openings. In many of the current sculptures, the openings swell to resemble an egg or elongated dome. These developments have led Price to her newest tall form, which she calls Grace Bulbous Form, characterized by the complex rippling and undulation of the flanges and its assertive scale. She continues to work with monochromatic glazes--here, creamy yellows and pale whites, rich dark browns, and a silvery green "bronze" color--all possessing a distinctive matte surface texture. As in the past, her forms are created with the traditional pinch-and-coil method, beginning with a vessel armature which is spatially articulated using her signature, paper-thin flange elements.
Ursula Morley Price, who resides in southwestern France, has been exhibiting her work internationally for nearly four decades. Her ceramics are found in important public collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, the Musée National de Céramique in Sèvres, and numerous other museums throughout Europe and the United States.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; on Saturdays the gallery opens at 11:00 a.m. Mondays are by appointment only.

Interview with a Real, Live Exubera User (Under 50)
Meet Jennifer Haws. She just started using EXUBERA, the first commercially available inhalable insulin from Pfizer. She's not a senior. She's not homebound. And so far she likes it.

Winnipeg, MB
-10°c A few clouds
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 10/2/2013 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
EDMONTON -- The praise, the adulation and the requests for autographs are flattering to any NHL player.
Jordan Eberle of the Edmonton Oilers is to the point where he considers most of that sweet nothings in his ears.
"After a while it starts to wear on you," the 23-year-old from Regina said Tuesday morning. "You can only go so long hearing how good you're going to be. We want to live up to the hype and it starts with tonight.
"We've had a good pre-season and it's exciting to get going now."
Eberle is among the gifted and flashy young stable of talent the Oilers have assembled.
But in his three NHL seasons so far, his contributions -- 68 goals, 156 points -- have combined with those of other young stars like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall and even Nail Yakupov last season to amount to a hill of beans.
The Oilers, who haven't been in the playoffs since 2006, haven't even come close in the last four seasons. Last season, they ended the short 48-game test 10 points behind eighth place.
"At some point you get sick and tired of hearing it," Eberle said, repeating his message for effect. "Now, we've got a lot of new faces in here, I think there's eight and including our coaching staff it's 10, so it's at a point where we want to start being a good team and just put aside that rebuilding thing."
Edmonton does have a natural break for this new kind of talk. They have turned to Dallas Eakins as their new coach.
"He's kind of cleaned the slate," Eberle said. "The last few years I've been here it's always been that rebuild mentality and we wanted to get that out of here.
"We want to be a team that takes a turn."
He was asked why this time it's different.
"I think more than anything we have the accountability in the room," Eberle said. "I think there was a little leeway with how young we were and the rebuild, that they wanted to try to transition guys into spots and making mistakes was OK, I guess.
"That accountability now in the coach's office and the locker room, more than anything that pushes you to do the right thing. That being said, guys can't be afraid to make plays and do stuff. At the end of the day, you get sick and tired of hearing how good you're going to be. You just want to be that good."
Fresh approaches are usually good, but more importantly, how are these Oilers going to be different on the ice, where the games are won and lost?
"I think we understand how Dallas wants us to play but there is a little uncertainty because we haven't done it in an NHL regular-season game," he said, noting the team's 5-2-1 pre-season mark. "We've done it against teams that don't maybe have their best lineups in, but that's where the excitement level comes in tonight.
"It's that the overall compete level has to improve. I think we know that we have enough skill in this locker room to beat any team in this league. Then it comes down to competing and your systems. As far as systems go, I think we're pretty comfortable on how we want to play and how Dallas wants us to play.
"We're feeling confident about that."
-- -- --
Tuesday marked the first NHL game as a head coach for former Jets defenceman and Manitoba Moose captain Dallas Eakins.
He said this was much different than his first NHL game as a player for the Jets, Feb. 18, 1993, at the Cow Palace in Daly City, Calif., against the San Jose Sharks.
"I think I was trembling when I played my first NHL game," Eakins said. "My partner that night was Mike Lalor. So I was sitting next to him and he said, 'How many games have you played?' I said none and he went, 'Oh. OK."
"I'm much more at ease than I was then.
"I haven't thought much about this one. You get so busy that you're into it. I'm just excited to get going. I want to get playing, see where we're at. We've got challenges early."
-- -- --
Eakins said Tuesday he has been saving a special tie for his NHL coaching debut, one that will honour one of his mentors, the late Roger Neilson.
"I've been saving this tie for a long time," Eakins said. "Rog was known for his absolutely horrible ties. He didn't put much thought into them."
Eakins said a friend texted him on Tuesday to remind him: "The great thing about Rog's ties, they go equally bad with any suit."
"It'll be an honour to wear it out there tonight."

Wednesday's column is about Measure PPL and doubles as an update on the Pomona Public Library, which was threatened two years ago with closure. The library is still open, but with limited hours and services. The ballot measure would change that. Two-thirds approval is not easy to get, however.

Let's Roll: Bowlium Lanes, Montclair
I intended to write a series of posts on bowling alleys, set up a format to do so, produced one on San Bernardino's Arrowhead Lanes in November 2011, and then never wrote another one. Oops. Well, here's the second in the series, and I promise not to wait three years for the next one.
Possibly my favorite local bowling alley, Bowlium Lanes offers a burst of style on a dispirited stretch of Holt, even if the enormous pole sign fell victim to sign codes a few years back. Behind the flagstones, arches and dingbats on the exterior you'll find more retro style inside: a cozy enclosed diner and vintage signs for restrooms and cocktails.
The interior is well-maintained too. The lanes are kept well-oiled (possibly too well-oiled) and they have plenty of balls to choose from. The scoring machines are tricky to program, with directional arrows in multiple colors for navigation, and I kind of hate them. The graphics on the overhead screens are entertaining. Besides the bowling, there's a pro shop, a bar and a game room.
Bowlium is open 9 a.m. to midnight Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. That's not 24-hour bowling, but 17-hour bowling is impressive.
Address: 4666 Holt Blvd.
Number of lanes: 32
Owner: Scott and Teresa Poddig
Year opened: 1958
Architect: Powers, Daly and DeRosa
Neighbors: vacant lot, quaint real estate office, elementary school
Games: Game room
Bar: Yes, with vintage "Cocktails" sign
Coffee shop: Yes, with counter and stools
Ambience: The Jetsons meet the Flintstones
Deal: Monday 9 p.m. to midnight: $1.25 per game, but there are more here.

Village Venture 2014
For Village Venture, the popular crafts fair and street festival that took place Saturday in Claremont, I arranged to sell "Pomona A to Z" in the parking lot of Rhino Records, right by the sidewalk to catch foot traffic. As promised in print, I showed up at 11 a.m.
It got off to a good start when a woman with a walker approached to say she'd been waiting since 9. (She had left and come back, thankfully.) "I couldn't remember when you said you'd be here," she admitted.
Over the next hour, I sold four books. Might have been more if I were the type to shout toward passersby, "Pomona in 26 letters! Get-cher copies of 'Pomona A to Z' right cheer! Meet the author!" Instead, I sat quietly and read an H.P. Lovecraft book.
A few readers approached during that time just to say hello. One said her husband had bought a copy the day before from the shop Heirloom. One woman, whom I don't recall ever meeting, remarked, "You've lost weight."
Another walked up with a friend in tow. "I love you to death," the woman said. She talked about how she enjoys my column and how much better she likes the Bulletin than the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, because as a Pomona resident, the Bulletin has more news of interest to her.
I gestured toward my book and said leadingly, "Pomona…?" "I'm short on cash," she said (without asking how much it was) and quickly left. That's okay. My book's target demographic is people who only tolerate me.
I can't complain about selling five: I left with $100 in my pocket, pretty good for an hour's work. And it was nice to meet everyone. Even the odd encounters were entertaining.
Column: Without slapstick, Ontario meeting takes dramatic turn
Sunday's column is about last week's Ontario City Council meeting, which had a lot of public comment, some of it of a serious nature. And of course, Paul Avila had to mess things up.
Column: In Ontario, 'White Zombie' actress was a bundle of energy
Friday's column is about the screening in Upland of "White Zombie," which served as a tribute to actress Madge Bellamy, who spent her later years in Ontario and died in Upland. Also, two unusual 909 sightings in the national media and a plug for Claremont's Village Venture, which takes place Saturday. I'll be selling books from 11 a.m. to noon in the parking lot of Rhino Records.
Restaurant of the Week: Sub Zero Ice Cream and Yogurt
Sub Zero Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt, 10590 Town Center Drive (at Haven), Rancho Cucamonga
I'd never heard of or noticed this place, but DebB mentioned Sub Zero in a blog comment recently. Sub Zero uses a similar liquid-nitrogen process as the new N7 Creamery at Victoria Gardens. Rancho Cucamonga is practically all-nitrogen, all-the-time.
So I ate lunch at Panera at Haven and Foothill one recent afternoon and then drove north in search of Sub Zero, which is past where you'd think it would be, above the Town Center shops and behind the Mobil station in a small building with no other tenants.
Inside it's a clean, modern space. I was the only customer at the moment — a few more came before I left — and an employee explained the process. They make their own ice cream in front of you, mixing the flavors in a bowl and then quick-freezing it with nitrogen from a giant tank. Sub Zero is coming up on its second anniversary in Rancho. The Utah-based chain is in seven states. Its founder has a chemistry background.
The menu has 55 flavors, plus mix-ins, or you can simplify things by ordering one of the combinations. Overwhelmed, I did so, getting the Bernoulli Brulee, with caramel, dulce de leche, vanilla and cinnamon flavor, Heath and Twix added. A small was $5.80 and came in a waffle bowl inside a cup.
She mixed the cream and ingredients in a bowl, telling me the ice cream is creamier in their process because it doesn't have air bubbles. The nitrogen blast had a dry ice effect as vapor swirled around the counter. Perfect for that Halloween spirit.
I shot a video. (It came out sideways. Forgive me. But you'll get the idea.)
Three scoops of ice cream was a lot for a small size. It tasted pretty good. Actually, I'm very happy with simply having someone hand-scoop my ice cream, and U look askance at Cold Stone and the whole mix-in trend, so I'm not sure I'll ever go out of my way again to come here. (Although my receipt offers $1 off my next visit.) But the novelty was fun.
Now that I seem to be taking Rancho's nitrogen ice cream parlors in chronological order, I'll get to N7 sometime.
Column: It will soon be last call at Gilberto's Lounge in RC
A long-lived dive bar in an untrendy portion of Rancho Cucamonga is expected to close next month. Wednesday's column pays tribute to Gilberto's Lounge and owner Ken Gilbert.
'Ask a Mexican' about Mexican food
If you missed Gustavo Arellano's talk last Tuesday in Pomona, you were in good company: There were only seven of us, and five of them were part of the library-connected group that invited him.
One member of the general public was there, who'd seen the announcement on my Facebook page that morning. (By the way, 18 people "liked" my post, and then went on with their lives.) I'd say the talk wasn't well-publicized, which is likely true, except I did see an advertisement in the Claremont Courier, which evidently spurred no one to action.
As it was, having heard a version of Gustavo's talk twice before, in Claremont and Upland, I skipped out for dinner. Mexican, obviously. (Look for an upcoming Restaurant of the Week post on that.) I missed the mayor's quick appearance, during which he mispronounced "Arellano," which led to some unkind remarks by Gustavo on his own FB page.
But I caught some of his talk. As he researched "Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America," Arellano, who writes the syndicated "Ask a Mexican" column, traveled the country eating Mexican food in 46 of the 50 states, all but Alaska, Hawaii, Louisiana and Maine.
"Everyone's definition of Mexican food is different," Arellano said. One epiphany came in New Mexico, where friends took him out for something called breakfast tacos, which he'd never before encountered. Asked what a Mexican breakfast in Southern California consists of, he told them about breakfast burritos, whose contents they scoffed at.
Arellano gave up worrying about authenticity. "It's either all authentic or none of it is authentic," he concluded. He decided to embrace everything, taking a Pope Francis-like "who am I to judge?" approach.
Someone asked him about the best Mexican food in Pomona, which he threw to me to answer, as he's an OC guy. Someone else jumped in to suggest Taqueria de Anda, with which I would concur, and Tacos Jalisco, which I've seen but never took seriously; I offered Tijuana's Tacos and got an amen.
A question came up about the chain Taco John's, which is based in Wyoming. The questioner ate there in Nebraska; I ate there in Illinois, and it's the first and only place I had Mexican food for several years. "Their great innovation is tater tots as Mexican food," Arellano cracked.
He wasn't criticizing, he was just saying. "What's so great about Mexican food," he added, "is that it adapts to the environment."
Sunkist softball
After my June 29 column on the former Sunkist plant in Ontario, reader Jeanette Long emailed the above photo. She writes:
"I've had in my softball shirt collection for a couple of years now a shirt my friend gave me that was purchased at an Ontario yard sale. I wear it proudly."
I love the team name: The Juice. Anyone know more about the team? Did they travel to games in a white Ford Bronco? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Jeanette adds a thanks for my Sunkist column and says, "I would often see the workers leaving work on my way home and think about all the orange juice products that passed through their hands right here in my hometown of Ontario."
Column: Shuffle mindlessly into Upland for 'White Zombie' screening
Sunday's column begins with an item about a special — and free! — screening of the first zombie movie, the 1932 Bela Lugosi camp-fest "White Zombie," which happens to co-star a woman who later went on to own a junk store in Ontario. Er, interesting career trajectory, no? She's Madge Bellamy, pictured below, eyes wide. I'm introducing the film, and selling my book, too. That's at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Upland's Carnegie Cultural Center, 123 E. D St.
After that item: more news from Upland; an update on the Girl Scout property in Claremont with news about a similarly threatened property in Chino; and a farewell to the late sculptor Aldo Casanova.

"Loved this style of card! I used as a thank you note, so the size of the card worked perfectly. The paper was of excellent quality. Highly recommend this product."
"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."
"I really liked these thank you notes because they were printed on fabulous paper and the colors were exactly what I wanted! My notes to my friends will be given in style!"
"I love the size and quality of these thank you's. The cardstock is very thick, which adds to the impressive nature of the cards."
"I looked through a number of cards on this site before deciding on this one. I wanted to use one of my favorite baby pictures, and this card's layout and color scheme meshed with the picture perfectly. The design and print quality were excellent, and I ended up with exactly what I was looking for. This is a beautiful card that strikes an excellent balance between a formal feel and a personal one."

Available for Jean-Pierre Larocque:
Canadian born, Jean-Pierre Larocque was
educated at Alfred University, one of the most prestigious of institutions for
learning the art of ceramics. He
has taught at Emily Carr in Vancouver, BC, the U of Georgia, the U of Michigan,
Cal State and Alfred.
His horse structures have
been described as 'craggy.' "My work is preoccupied with language,
this ordering device, outside of which no meaning is attainable. It is about assessing dosages of order
and wondering what it stands for.
I try to get as close as possible to the semantic fiction that a piece
made itself while I looked the other way.
By choice, a piece is resolved as it reaches a feeling of
open-endedness, as if stopped in its tracks, Pompeii-like, still on its way to
a different appearance, unsure whether it is emerging or dissolving."

This interesting article from FastCompany.com follows the story of Joe Qiu, known as "Shanghai Joe" within General Motors where he works at the company's Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in Shanghai as a car designer. Qiu and a relatively small, inexperienced team of designers were responsible for the current version of the Buick LaCrosse sold in China (shown above). This year the car is expected to sell 110,000 units in China, while it's counterpart in name only sold just 71,072 units in the U.S. during 2006.
The story of GM's Chinese-based design team is certainly a rags to riches one that will culminate in the next few years with PATAC's designing the world's next Buick LaCrosse, due out in 2008 or 2009. As is the custom at GM these days, design chief Ed Welburn pitted his 11 design centers from around the world against each other for the privilege of penning the next LaCrosse. The favored North American team and the underdog Chinese team were clear favorites with the majority of good ideas, so Welburn chose to have both work on the design. The North American team will handle the exterior, while the smaller Chinese team will design the interior. The Chinese designers, though, will also have significant input on the car's exterior since it's expected that China will quickly be Buick's biggest market worldwide.
We think that's just fine, as we reported last November that the Chinese LaCrosse is way cooler than ours. Indeed, the PATAC team's designs are world class compared to the derivitive and downright ugly designs coming from many of China's young automakers. Will the Chinese market one day set trends for the world market? It's a scary though, but who knows? If Joe Qiu becomes the next Ed Welburn at GM, however, things will likely be alright.

The Artisian Champagne Drum Accent Table is a really unique and beautiful accent if you're looking for a side table that is more than just a regular side table! This is a great piece that looks exactly like it does in the picture, and though smaller than I imagined (since it's circular the full dimensions don't go all the way around), it still looks very "unique and chic!"
Only problem I really have is that I expected it to be just a tad larger than it is. That combined with the so-so quality makes it a poor buy for $80.00
Great little table/stool. Significant enough to put next to an arm chair. Love the champagne finish- silvery with a hint of gold.
This piece is STUNNING! The website images do not do it justice!! It is more beautiful than I expected.
