NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A person familiar with the deal says oil giant BP has agreed to pay a criminal penalty in the billions of dollars for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the deal, also said two BP employees face manslaughter charges over the death of 11 people in the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that triggered the massive spill.
The person said BP will plead guilty to obstruction for lying to Congress about how much oil was pouring out of the ruptured well.

An amusing science meme, courtesy my friend Andrew Balfour.
Particle physicists not yet willing to call the election for Obama
Sure, there's a 99.2% probability that he will win, but that is several standard deviations away from the 99.99995% confidence that the particle physicists would need to declare the election won. (This is satire, obviously.) Via Jennifer Ouellette.
Mr. Wizard dickery
Okay, honestly, some of the scenes in this video of out-of-context clips from Nickelodeon's 1980s reboot of Mr. Wizard hardly count as dickery. In fact, some bits just look like what happens when a good teacher tells kids they aren't quite understanding the science yet. But, then, I have a Mr. Wizard bias. And a bias toward not coddling children.
Nonetheless, there are parts of this video that are downright hilarious—"See these two pins, Stacy? Today I'm going to stick them in you!" And, of course, you must watch through to the end, where Mr. Wizard abandons a poorly dressed 1980s child by the side of the road.
Via the SF Signal and the wonderful Joanne Manaster.

After a memorable Mardi Gras glazing and one of the coldest celebrations in decades, milder temperatures are in store for Acadiana for the rest of the week.
Temperatures will still stay below normal through Friday morning, but after a couple of more cloudy days, mostly sunny skies can be expected Friday into early Saturday!
Another quick moving, mainly upper level disturbance will roll through the area Wednesday into early Thursday keeping plenty of clouds and some light rain chances through the same time period.
We may see a few intervals of sun in between all the clouds Wednesday and Thursday allowing temperatures to rise into the low-mid 50s.
After a chilly start Friday, expect temperatures to rise into the low-mid 60s under sunny skies....finally a nice day!
Saturday will be milder with highs in the upper 60s to near 70 but clouds will be increasing for the afternoon.
Showers and storms will be possible Sunday into Monday with the next weather system with perhaps a few days of nice seasonable weather to follow next week.
Long-range models suggest a fairly robust storm system mid-March which could bring stormy conditions to the area the following weekend and perhaps a brief return of winter temperatures!

A federal grand jury has issued a subpoena to MySpace in the investigation into the death of a Missouri teen. The girl killed herself after receiving cruel messages that turned out to be a hoax.
The Los Angeles Times reports federal prosecutors are considering fraud charges against a mother in the girl's neighborhood. Prosecutors believe the woman, her daughter and a teenage employee fooled 13-year-old Megan Meier into thinking she was communicating with a 16-year-old boy.
The woman, Lori Drew, denies creating the fake MySpace account, but acknowledges being aware of it. She also denies sending any of the cruel messages or knowing about them.
Meier hanged herself in 2006 after receiving messages from the fictional boy, including one saying the world would be better off without her.

November 26, 2014
RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) -- A 46-year-old Eagle River man is scheduled to enter a plea Monday in connection with a boating crash that killed one woman.
Jeffery Habenicht is charged with eight felonies, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
Six other felony charges have been dismissed.
Prosecutors say Habenicht was piloting a jet boat in 2006 that collided with another boat carrying several people, including 31-year-old Melissa Mann.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Five other passengers were injured.
Authorities quote witnesses who reported seeing Habenicht driving wildly.
They also told investigators the collision sent bodies flying out of the boat.
According to the criminal complaint, Habenicht's blood-alcohol level at the time was 1 1/2 times the legal limit.

Autumn is a glowing time of year:
When trees glow
And leaves catch fire.
It's a joyful time
Of dewy play
And swans
Showing off their families on the local lake.
And, if you're lucky,
You can catch frosted jewels
Among the leaves.
For more glowing pictures, please visit: Our World.
Softly spring
Spring dances in –
Two steps forward and one step back.
Frosted dawns
Give way to soft pink light.
Blue skies are serenaded
By blur of wings and trees
Waiting to burst into bud.
And winter leaves behind
A fragile reminder of its return.
For more dancing, please visit: Our World.
Lemon drizzle
One of the delights of having an early frost
Is that you can capture both frost and colour:
This is one of my favourite photos from October.
The lemon tones
Were repeated in this frosted yellow beauty
While the late autumn cone flowers
Danced in icy tutus to the music of the wind.
There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good. ~ Edwin Denby
For more delicious stories, please visit: Our World Tuesday.
In the pink
The first frost of the season
Sprinkled the flowers
With pink and ice.
Silken threads of web
Filled the spaces
Between frozen water drops.
The last rose of the season
Seemed more perfect in
Its imperfection
And dropped a single petal
As a farewell to summer.
For more frosted stories, please visit: Our World.
Perfect balance
We celebrated the spring equinox
With three days of snow.
But that doesn't matter –
The equinox is the time when the world is
In perfect balance:
That moment when the light of day
And the dark of night are equal
All around the world.
And now, here in the northern hemisphere,
We go towards lighter times…
Even if we are enjoying the coldest ever winter this spring!
For more, balanced skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Frosted times
Let me take you back to the end of October last year,
To a cold day of frosted eyelashes on leaves.
It was a stunning bright day
Perfect for a drive out to the horse ranch
Sporting its old Grand Central clock on the side of the barn.
The brilliance of the sun
Turned the wires into art
And behind the frosted thistles
I discovered a secret world of rainbow bubbles.
On the way home, I stopped to admire
The endurance of this ancient rune stone
(And to wonder if the Simpsons was based on the pattern on the stone…
Look at those eyes!)
For more good times, please visit: Our World.
Frosted skies
It's cold and deliciously wintery now.
But a couple of weeks ago,
When it seemed as if winter would never arrive,
The promise of winter hung in
The frosted sky
Painting hopes and lake
With glorious tones of gold.
For more fabulous skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Frosted flowers
It's still too mild and grey for November, so I'm looking back to the end of October
When the frost presented a cheery iced sun;
And a wild pink rose
Covered in cold eyelashes.
Further on, a rose bud
Shimmered with melted hopes and ice –
And I found myself
At the beating heart of nature itself.
For more flowery scenes, please visit: Our World.
Of silver and feathers
After many days of mild grey weather,
The early morning light
Carried whispers on the breeze
Of a frosty world of silver.
(See how the iced reeds match the bark of the silver birches?)
In the silence of that iced-over dawn
Peace floated down
As light and beautiful as a feather.
For more peace, please visit: Our World.
Leaf ballet
Autumn was short-lived and intense this year.
But last weekend I had an amazing experience.
In the distance, I saw a sunny bower of branches
And a shower of leaves dancing in the wind as they fell to the ground.
I stood under those trees and listened.
The leaves danced and twirled and fluttered down on me,
Sounding like gentle rain as they came to rest on hair, ground and an icy bench.
I like to look for the new beginnings in these ends.
Don't leaf without visiting: Our World.

Electronic Arts' new instalment of Need For Speed, the cops-'n'-customisers racer Most Wanted, is the new favourite for being the Christmas number one.
According to Ladbrokes, Most Wanted has knocked off the top spot.
Indeed, such has been the enthusiasm for NFS, the betting shop is only offering even odds for it now. Narnia, now down to fourth, is currently 6/1, as are King Kong and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which are in second and third places respectively.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's big 360 driving hope Project Gotham Racing 3 languishes down at 16th, with odds of 33/1.
Gotham has big potential returns, but with - and an unspecified number of them either in flames, hanging from string or in the post between eBay customers - it's surprisingly risky too. Meanwhile, the chances of gamesradar.com fully understanding betting any time soon are 100/1 x 9.
The full rundown looks like this:
NFS Most Wanted evens Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire 6/1 King Kong 6/1 The Chronicles of Narnia 6/1 Crazy Frog Racer 10/1 Call of Duty 2: Big Red One 16/1 Prince of Persia The Two Thrones 16/1 FIFA '06 20/1 Pro Evolution Soccer 5 20/1 The Sims 2 20/1 Half-Life 2 25/1 Civilization 4 33/1 EyeToy 3 33/1 Football Manager 2006 33/1 GTA Liberty City Stories 33/1 Project Gotham Racing 3 33/1 Resident Evil 4 33/1 Singstar '80s 33/1 Star Wars Battlefront 2 33/1 True Crime NYC 33/1 WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2006 33/1 50 Cent Bulletproof 33/1 Spongebob Squarepants: Lights, Camera, Pants 50/1

Editorial - Who is going to Win the Supervisor Seat in District 2?
In the final analysis, we have three front runners, two could have a chance, and one that can kick back and enjoy the race because he has no chance.
Front Runners:
In a traditional analysis, Dave Pratt would win hands down with his well-funded campaign supported by more disclosed donors than all other candidates in the field, combined! Will the opposition be successful in painting him as the Pro-Development candidate? Will he suffer from the "Developer" Bogeyman? If not, he is the presumptive winner.
But this is a "Special" election with too many unpredictable variables. With the compelling nature of Ray Nutting's removal and his dominate position in the district, Jennifer Nutting could easily win this race. All she needs do is get the district voters that strongly support her husband to the polls, and in a six-way race with very low turnout, she will win handily.
The powerful no-growth environmental lobby is in play and backing Shiva Frentzen. This makes her very competitive by itself, but she is also a sitting Cameron Park CSD member. She has a record of weak chairmanship performance in past committee service, but her past performance will have little opportunity to get to the average voters in the truncated time frame of this Special election. What most voters will know about is that she is a current member of the Cameron Park CSD. This, and Center/Moore support could push her over the top.
Could compete:
Both George Turnboo and Claire McNeil have a chance to take this race, but it is long odds. Turnboo has never drawn a big vote and is weak in Cameron Park, but a good turnout of his supporter and a highly divided race could give him enough votes to win. McNeil is even more of a handicapper's nightmare. She is an unknown to the vast majority of voters, but she has the Money to fix that. The question is if any amount of money can propel an unknown to winner status in just a few weeks. Money does talk, but what it says to many voters in rural El Dorado County is not so clear.
In it for the experience:
That leaves new comer Amaral. He is unknown, underfunded, is an outsider to most. Without name recognition or a very well-funded war chest and experts in using it, Amaral cannot win. Additionally he is the only candidate that lists an El Dorado Hills address and has never voted in EDC before he ran for election himself. Our advice to him is to enjoy the experience.
Cris Alarcon, Publisher and Political Consultant.

Like many doomsayers ventured to say, it seems that they were going to put together 20 geeks, and an elderly lady was reviewing the minutes before the event: "It's a shame that youth comes not defend their rights." He was right in part, but the Internet is not exclusive chavalería, is a treasure for all citizens. I would rather say it's a shame that society comes not defend their basic rights today, in case anyone was not aware, have Network as a battlefield. At stake is the future model of society and the Spaniards were asleep.
But the truth is that in front of the Ministry of "Culture" and Lt. Ruiz witness a May 2 defended their freedom against the invading finally people were encouraged to go outside. We were not so few at first as they would have liked and the edge of the 12 hours the Plaza del Rey was full of very diverse people of course, great and small, young and old rebel, students and teachers, artists and retired journalists Daniel Rodríguez Herrera (Libertad Digital) and politicians like David Hammerstein (strong advocate of Internet freedom ahead of the Greens). That's when Victor Domingo, president of the AI , gave the floor to authority than Miguel Pérez Subías (people AUI ), Carlos Sánchez Almeida (specializing in civil affairs in Internet lawyer) or the same Enrique Dans (guru and blogger most influential country). Also participating Javier Sanz ( ADSLZONE ), guitarist Luis Cobo "Manglis" (partner SGAE), journalist Diego Enrique (which inflamed the minds of all) and the representative of the CD and DVD stores whose harrowing testimony left us to clear that kind of bugs we face.
But hey, it's better that you see yourselves some of the testimony that someone with very good sense has put online:
Act like you see ended with the reading of the manifesto by which the event was convened and the speakers to the microphone on the dais while Luis Cobo "Manglis" improvised (if they asked copyrights) a piece that sounded like me a fucking anthem to freedom and the struggle that we are a few without the rest of society realizes it or cares. I liked it so much that I've uploaded to the web for all to enjoy:
Luis Cobo "Manglis" - Improvisation unregistered
We must be clear that we are literally in a war for our rights, the enemies are very powerful, there are many fronts but many of us are fighting them and we have a responsibility to future generations and to defend as Internet History of defending the press and the French Revolution at a time. For the first time both knowledge and freedom can be available to all mankind. Up to us shouting as did Lt. Ruiz: Go for it!
- 1
A consumer strike is what can hurt them more this bunch of mobsters. In times of "crisis", it is not wrong to consider this as a cost saving measure ... haha
Another good would raise at least one day a year, as the day of the Sovereign People, to turn off television all together and go out, not to speak out, but to know as neighbors and find ways to organize together ... start making use our human power. The possibilities are endless.
I would also like to know and be able to more easily share who the cheeky dare to charge excise taxes on products that are not yours.
For a world without patents:
Abolition of copyright!
- 2
[...] Of course, we went 300 Internet of every kind, and I agree it sounded a hymn to freedom, that day, in that [...]

Is it a good sign when a restaurant's wine list offers too many vintages to count? We think so, especially when at least one third of those bottles are from lesser-known international vineyards and priced less than 30 bucks. With this policy the folks at City Oyster declare that they're not out to screw us with triple the retail. Rather they're here to educate our palates with sips of such diverse wines as the Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand or the King Estate pinot noir from Oregon. Sure, you can invest $180 for a bottle of full and luxurious Opus One here, but you can also spend as little as $21 for a bright and pleasant E. Guigal Côte du Rhône red. The kicker, of course, is what you can also get by the glass, ranging from a Chateau Souverain zinfandel to a froth of Taittinger Champagne. Good-bye house wine, hello bubbly.

LINCOLN — A 20-year-old Pawtucket man was hurt Wednesday evening when the ambulance he was driving on Route 146 North went off the road and struck a utility pole, according to State Police.
Michael Bergeron of 6 Hatfield St., Pawtucket, was alone in the Med Tech ambulance van when it struck the pole in front of Cox Communications on Route 146 North just past the Route 99 onramp, according to State Police Lt. Michael J. Gill of State Police Headquarters in Scituate.
WOONSOCKET — Cumberland High coach Marty Crowley believes he has a strong enough team to contend for a state title come mid-June.
But in his eyes, and perhaps most in Division I, the squad that everyone in the league should be concerned about is last year's state runner-up Mount St. Charles Academy.
"Absolutely," he said. "They went to the finals last year. They (basically) got everybody back. They should be the favorites to win the whole thing. They're good."
Adrienne Jarret
NARRAGANSETT- JARRET, JEANNETTE ADRIENNE, 89, of Narragansett and formerly of Woonsocket, died Tuesday. She was the wife of the late Aram P. Jarret.
Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late Raymond J. and Adrienne (Guerin) Fontaine.
Virginia McMichael
UXBRIDGE- Virginia (Accica) McMichael, 88, of Blackstone, MA died Tuesday, April 5, 2011 in Lydia Taft House, Uxbridge, MA. She was the wife of the late Harry X. McMichael who died in 2009.
She was born in Ashland, MA daughter of the late Galliano and Mercede (Muri) Accica.
LINCOLN – At the core of Bill Lee's multi-faceted personality is a baseball pitcher who remains fascinated -- even at the age of 64 -- by the process of getting batters out.
Lee came here on Wednesday to serve as keynote speaker at the annual "Welcome Home, PawSox" luncheon hosted by the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce. He walked into Kirkbrae Country Club's dining area a few minutes before noon, dressed like a cowboy, his still-athletic frame topped off by a wide-brimmed hat that identified the former Red Sox pitcher as a man of great presence.
Vincent "Vin"
T. Dwyer
WOONSOCKET- Vincent "Vin" T. Dwyer, 83, died April 5, 2011, at the Friendly Home in Woonsocket. He was the beloved husband of 59 years to Florence Penny (Duval) Dwyer.
A lifelong resident of Woonsocket, Vincent was born on Feb. 20, 1928, to the late Vincent and Margaret (Kennedy) Dwyer, Sr. He served with the Occupational Forces in Japan during World War II.
Gerald R. Gaouette
STOUGHTON- Gerald R. Gaouette, 98, died Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at the Copley at Stoughton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Stoughton. He was the husband of 74 years of the late Emma R. (Shaffer) Gaouette.
Born in Woonsocket, RI, he was raised and educated in Woonsocket. He worked as a supervisor for Cumberland Worsted Woolen Mills for many years. He retired many years ago. He was a resident of California for several years before moving to Stoughton over 5 years ago. In his free time, he developed and created board games.
WOONSOCKET — The city has teamed up with a private startup company from Grafton, Mass., in an effort to increase recycling in the downtown business district.
Michael Debroisse, the city's solid waste superintendent, said the city has replaced a half-dozen traditional garbage cans between Market and Depot squares with specialized recycling bins provided by Go Green Solutions.
The bins, which cost the city nothing, are designed with three color-coded deposit slots — green for paper, blue for cans and bottles, black for non-recyclable waste.
WOONSOCKET — Tears streamed down the man's cheeks as he stood on the railing of the Hamlet Avenue Bridge, thinking about the end.
Patrolman Kevin Sanford saw the dog leash looped around the man's neck. The hasp was clipped on so that if he jumped the leash would cinch around the man's neck from his body weight. The other end of the leash was tied around the lower rung of the bridge railing.
Claudette L. Lambert
BELLINGHAM- Claudette L. Lambert, 72, of Bellingham, MA passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2011 at home.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Alberta Works funding for ESL and Academic Upgrading for Fall 2014 has been depleted. If you would like to explore funding for Winter 2015 must submit a NAIT Alberta Works Assessment form after September 22, 2014. Once the assessment has been reviewed Student will be contacted to be booked an assessment appointment.
The Alberta Works Part-Time Skills Investment Bursary, administered by Human Services (formerly AEI), provides financial support of up to $5,000 per academic year for qualifying adult residents of Alberta who are attending part-time training.
A key initiative of the Alberta Works program is to increase part-time training opportunities for Albertans; to support them to gain the knowledge and skills to obtain sustainable employment, increase their income and reduce their need for government support.
The part-time initiative is designed to assist:
- Low-income employed Albertans who require further skill development to maintain employment, increase earnings and to be self-sufficient, and
- Low-income unemployed Albertans who are employment-destined and assessed as unable to participate in full-time training and will benefit from part-time training.
Alberta Works Part-Time Skills Investment Bursary eligibility is determined by Human Services.
You must discuss your eligibility for part-time funding with an authorized official and be recommended for training before submitting a Skills Investment Bursary Application form.
Please note: Alberta Works Skills Investment funding is limited, provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding must be approved prior to training start date so Students must apply early with complete documentation or they will not be considered.
Part-Time Funded Student Responsibilities
Once you have been approved for funding you must maintain your eligibility. You do so by passing all class(es) you have been funded for. If you do not pass your class(es), you must use your own resources to repeat the course and provide confirmation that you attended and passed before you may be considered for further funding. It is important to note that funding is not available to repeat course(s) previously funded on a part-time Skills Investment Bursary or on a full-time Skills Investment Grant.
If you have any questions about your responsibilities while receiving Alberta Works Learner Income Support, please contact a NAIT Financial Aid Specialist.

- PotentialLocalDinerDined on 11/21/2014While the service was great, and the potato dish, too...the caesar salad and fresh fish cebiche were a bit clunky. Salad was over-dressed, and the fish didn't work. But I would definitely go back for the potatoes in the huancainca (sp?) sauce! And, to try other dishes.I would recommend this to a friend.
- great new restaurant for Potrero HillActiviqiDined on 11/16/2014Excellent restaurant, the food delicious and different, the service warm and attentive. Our waitress was great. The brunch was wonderful and I plan to return for dinner to enjoy the more Peruvian dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- big hit!fun2BmeVIPDined on 11/15/2014Just the braised rabbit was worth the price of admission in itself!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood gemHannaVIPDined on 11/8/2014Small plates rock -service needs to get better-we ordered five small plates & asked them to space them -they brought them all at one time -some got cold. Had to read the menu with a flashlight -little dark in dining area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New spot and great tunaLeahlovescaliDined on 11/6/2014Living in the area, we were excited to see the doors open. My husband and I went in and ordered several items off the menu - the food overall was great, the tuna tartar was excellent! A bit much for a Wednesday night, but would be back for sure for the tuna (the crab cake was great too!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, really poor servicemegregVIPDined on 10/31/2014The tasty food and quality drinks don't make up for the incredibly "lacking" service. Our waitress didn't know what several of the ingredients in the dishes were (inexcusable!), took one person's drink order than turned and walked away as the second person was ordering, the list goes on... There are tons of servers and wait staff milling around, but not a lot is getting done. I'd go back for the drinks and sit at the bar to hopefully avoid this poor experience.Special Features:
- Noisy and trendyBirdbrainDined on 10/30/2014Food was interesting but erratic. Service was terrible. The waitress forgot our orders and mixed them up. But the main reason I would 't go back was the horrendous noise level. Hard services on the walls create that buzz that so many people like. Not me. The décor is beautiful, the concept is good, and the neighborhood needed a good restaurant at that corner. But I and my fellow diners would not go back. Plus. It's not open for lunch.Special Features:
- Good food. Service...first week :(DaWinDined on 10/28/2014I start with the negative aspect: the service was a nightmare. We waited 25 min for water, another 15 for wine, they brought the dishes in wrong order, we waited for every course about 30 minutes....I can go on an on. They were nice but not organized at all. BUT to their defense: It was their first week in Potrero. I give them another 2-3 weeks and be back because it is a GREAT place with nice food. We had causas with tuna, scallop appetizer, fish ceviche, Aji de Gallina, quinoa salad and Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Everything was good, not outstanding but good. The Fish ceviche lacked spice and sauce on the salad was too sweet. Must try: the wine and the scallop appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricy food, tiny portions, skip itOpenTablelover2014VIPDined on 10/22/2014A few facts, entirely dispassionate: - waitress asks verbatim: " would you like sparkling water or is still ok?" Answer, "still is fine". Waitress brings a small bottle of still water and charges 5 dollars. - Calamari appetizer (13 dollars) consists of 3 tiny calamari tentacles and a spoonful of mashed potatoes. Really not enough to be shared. - Entree menu with limited selections. Only 1 chicken option (shredded). - The beef entree (19 dollars) topped with french fries also modest size. I am not a big eater, but I left very hungry. - Glass of wine from 10 to 13 dollars. Be aware that they only serve you a sip, 100ml or less for that price. I live in the neighborhood and was hoping for a new dining option. This isn't one.
- Very niceRumberaDined on 10/21/2014The restaurant is very nice and service is great. Only downside is that the "to share" ("para compartir") portions are in no way to share: they feed one person only. I guess it is just a matter of changing the heading in the menu to "para empezar" and "para degustar" or something like thatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MochicafoodalinaDined on 10/18/2014The food is so great and the place is really vibrant and fun!!It's a title loud and more of a grown up place, date night, dinner, or drink and appetizers place than a kid friendly restaurant.It is a little loud but not to the point where you couldn't here. There are also community tables so nice if you are eating solo.Special Features:
- Mochica! Mochica! What happened?SFDINERVIPDined on 10/18/2014As fans of Mochica on Harrison St., we have been anxiously awaiting their re-opening, albeit in a different location. What a disappointment! The Tuna Tartare was cloyingly sweet and had so much gristle, we had a hard time tearing the meat away from the white strings. The Cebiche was just okay - it was significantly better at the Harrison location. We shared the Seafood Paella, but after putting the bowl of paella on the table while we were in the middle of eating our appetizers, the server also neglected to give us plates or a spoon to dish the paella up. The paella had a fair amount of seafood but 3 clam shells - no clams. The flavor was spicy, just one note and needed salt. Service was lacking. We will wait a few months and try again.
- Neighborhood newcomerSuzeqDined on 10/17/2014We went on the second day of business and had a lovely time. The pisco Sours were great! We loved the octopus appetizer especially! It is a nice new lively addition to our neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New neighborhood restaurantgrayDined on 10/17/2014considering this was only the second night they were open, everything went amazingly well. We were greeted at the door with a glass of champagne. The place looks great and the service is friendly. They are a few things to work out in terms of service and food being a bit more evenly flavorful. I think it's heading for 5 stars!Special Features:
- Need to iron out their kinksItellitlikeitisDined on 10/17/2014Passion fruit Pisco sour was good. Octopus dish good. Tuna tartare needs more flavor. I will give them one more chance after they work out their issues
- AbsolutelyeddieksfDined on 10/16/2014A worthy follow up to the old one and a much better location (besides being two blocks away versus a mile). Excellent food, great taste, good service, although if one more person asks "how is everything," i might wince (yeabut, opening night can be a challenge).. A worthy competitor to Limon, a bit expensive, but then we broke our rule of only one appetizer and no dessert (cranky cheap 71 yr old foodie here). Also we could have made a full meal of small plates instead of two big ones (again, first visit) like we do at Limon.Special Features:
- The following 624 reviews are from the Mochica reviews archive.
- FantasticMichaelDonnerVIPDined on 2/19/2014This is my fourth visit. It is convenient to my office and I have begun meeting friends. If you like Tapas, you are going to love this place. Every bite leaves you looking forward to the next one. I think I've had most of the menu by now, and no disappointments.Special Features:
- Symphony of flavors from PeruOrlandoDined on 2/15/2014We had been trying to make it to Mochica for a while, and finally we did, and we are so lucky that we could get a good seat, start early our dinner and be treated to a wonderful array of Peruvian specialties, in the interpretation of chef Carlos Altamirano. The cebiche, the Seco de Cordero (Yummm!), the Pargo, everything was delicious. We highly recommend this hidden jewel of San Francisco's culinary scene.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ceviche and sangriaChicagotoSanFranChickDined on 2/1/2014We lived everything we ate. Very different flavors!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Peruvian restaurant in the BayFoodieDined on 1/25/2014I've gone here at least 10 times and they are always consistent. Service is always great and the food is always delicious. Can't beat their huge made to order empanadas and their Palta Rellena (chicken stuffed avocado) is to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Especially these days it'sSuperbDined on 1/24/2014Especially these days it's hard to find a last minute restaurant availability. This one always delivers. Great Small plates. Quiet armosphere. All the dishes are special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't let the neighborhoodDavidVIPDined on 1/12/2014Don't let the neighborhood dissuade you .. this is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco.Special Features:
- Another wonderful mealrenodeanVIPDined on 1/2/2014OK, so I've been here before and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it even more this time! I could live off of the fried garbanzo bean appetizer that is served at the table!!! The food is wonderful and the service is great. I try to get there early as I like to eat early. Don't know how crowded it gets later on but I would imagine it gets packed. Always a few tables filled when I get there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cold, bland food, cold restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/8/2013It was 30 degrees outside during the unusual cold spell in December 2013. My reservation specifically asked for a "warm, quiet table." But their heat wasn't working. They could have told me that when they called me to confirm my reservation that morning. They chose not to. When our group arrived, I again asked for table in a warm spot of the restaurant. The hostess gave me a strange look and didn't say anything. Then she pointed to a table across the room. Again, when she had an opportunity to tell me that their heat wasn't working, she said nothing. Only when I asked for the heat to be turned up, did she tell me that the heat was broken. (It was about 60 degrees in there.) Shrimp's garlic sauce tasted like it was Campbell's Soup.
- Small Place... Great FoodJaneenVIPDined on 11/20/2013We loved the food, but with the place being so small, we waited 45 minutes past our reservation time to finally get a table. It was worth the wait, but be prepared.Special Features:
- Hidden gemJVDubyaDined on 11/13/2013First visit to Mochica was about as good as I could have wanted. Menu was varied just enough and you'll love it if you're a fan of tapas/small plates. I've never had such a wide selection of ceviches, we tried 2-3 and all were tasty and well presented. Ambience was ideal and place has a sense of authenticity to being Peruvian - but not schlocky, more hipster Peruvian. The size is small to medium, which contributes to Mochica's appeal. It is a manageable environment and best of all, it was just plain fun. Not pretentious at all and a hidden gem because you'd never expect to find this type of place in this area of SF.Special Features:
- SlippingcrowbonesDined on 11/3/2013I have been to this restaurant several times as it is near my studio and easy for friends. I don't think that I would go again. Even the ambience has changed with the group table arrangement which does not work with the lighting. Food and service were fair.
- Perú as its bestEliasVIPDined on 10/25/2013We reserved at Mochica thinking that is the same owner than the Mochica in Los Angeles, which is one of our preferred restaurants. We were wrong and very happy. This Mochica is fantastic, even better than the one in LA. It is difficult to decide what was the best of the 8 different courses we selected. One thing we can tell you, it was so good that we over age, which we seldom do. The Tiraditos, anticuchos, yuca frita, chicharon de pollo all were fantastic. Finally we selected three dishes as the starts of the night: Pulpito a la parilla ( we re-order), empanadas y el insuperable cheesecake de lucuma (we re-order). Wine was Albariño. The food was fantastic, the service superb and the price just right.Special Features:
- Eclectic flavorsimitropoVIPDined on 10/3/2013Having never had Peruvian food before, I came away impressed. So many choices, all of them good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommend this forgotten gemBKinLAVIPDined on 9/28/2013It was rated as best of SF 2006 and since then has been ranked 25 for food on Zagat but none of my SF friends seem to have been there before. SF, you've been missing out! From small plates to larger paellas, this asian-peruvian fusion restaurant is not only delicious but spans a large menu from seafood to ribs - something for everyone. PLUS, the kitchen is very accommodating to dietary restrictions - even went so far as to make a gluten-free amuse-bouche for our table. Highly recommend this forgotten gem!Special Features:
- Tasty experienceSkikaDined on 9/27/2013Excellent cuisine. I knew food was going to be great as my Peruvian friends have recommended it before. Everything we had was delicious, from cebiche to alfajores. Service and ambiance was pleasant. We had a party of 6 and had a great time!Special Features:
- The neighborhood Mochica isezachryDined on 9/19/2013The neighborhood Mochica is in isn't the best, but the food was great! My friend and I ordered the small plates, and everything came out staggered which was great because then we got to enjoy each one before the next came. Everything we had was amazing, so we will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sabor PeruMonicaDined on 9/15/2013We had a delicious meal. Ceviches were outstanding & fresh. Wine list was nice & reasonably priced. Complimentary chickpea teaser wind my award for best use of chickpeas ever. Loved the grilled octopus , beet salad & beef heart skewers. Even free parking right out front on the street.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spot on Peruvian TastesJ25BorgVIPDined on 8/30/2013This is high quality Peruvian that is traditional an delicious. Every dish we had was great! Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wednesday night at MochicaJoeindamissionVIPDined on 8/21/2013Ceviche and small plates were awesome. The entre (peanut curry w/raisins IIRC) wasn't bad, but given the redo, I'd take more ceviche.
- Good But Small3rdAnniversaryDined on 8/16/2013While the food was tasty and the svc was good, the portion sizes were too small. We ordered lots of dishes plus dessert but we all left there needing more to eat.Special Features:
- so...we've been eating attotalfoodieVIPDined on 8/10/2013so...we've been eating at Mochica for a number of years as our go-to Peruvian restaurant for great paella and ceviche. We do love their grilled octopus as well. I have to say we were extremely disappointed, even though we did enjoy most of our dinner, the paella was a huge disappointment, small portion, a bit soupy in consistency lacking seafood and overall really missed the mark entirely. Fortunately the octopus and the fristo misto saved the evening, otherwise I think they would have lost us as a returning customer.
- ExcellentRalphDined on 8/10/2013We have been to Mochica before and liked it very much. We expect to keep coming back.Special Features:
- Beef Hearts :)VoodooDined on 7/27/2013The beef hearts are arguably the best item in the menu...tender and grilled to perfection the spicy flavors mix well with the charcoal grill. The Mochica cebiche is excellent as well...the halibut is nearly flawlessly "denatured" and served in three different spicy sauces. Not to mention the fried chick peas...Mochica is the real deal in San Francisco. Go with 6 people and order every one of the small plate selections...great food. Would prefer more choices of wine by that glass and that are more complimentary to the food. The sangria was softer than other sangria recipes and not too sweet. Order a few carafes for the table.Special Features:
- Loved it!renodeanVIPDined on 7/25/2013Never ate at a Peruvian restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised with the incredible meals. They had a lot of different small plates but I opted for the dinner plate. I had the snapper and it was incredible. My friend had 2 small plates. A crispy chicken plate and an empanada. Both excellent! We also loved the garbanzo salad that they served as a starter. That was a surprisingly incredible surprise!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I am helping my friends improve their credit scores and reports.
One of my friends wants to do a PFD with a CA. If he is successful, and the CA deletes the TL, with the OC update to paid /charge off
If this is the case, will it then be removed because the FCRA states in new york any paid collections/charge offs are to be removed after 5 years.
This is how I read it, can someone confirm my theory?
Also in a 2nd sitiuation, he has a cap 1 charge off that is still being reported by cap 1 but has been sent to a CA.
The CA is not reporting.
If he paids the CA in a settlement, will cap 1 then report paid charge off and then come off because it is pass the 5 years for NY?

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) -- A celebration of the highway dubbed the "Mother Road" gets underway this week in southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas.
The Route 66 International Festival runs from Thursday through Saturday, based in Joplin.
Route 66 was the main highway between Chicago and Los Angeles before the interstate system was built. It turned west toward Kansas at a Joplin intersection.
Festival activities include a Thursday night cruise that will take motorists past the Boots Motel, a famous Route 66 resting spot in Carthage. The cruise ends with a catered picnic meal and movie at a Carthage drive-in theater.
Festival-goers will travel Friday night to Galena, Kan., for a concert, car show and tours of a haunted bordello. Joplin will be bustling Saturday with a Hot Rod Run car show and live entertainment.

Do you like children? How many children would you like to have?
Yes,I like children .They are very cute .I want to have two .A boy and a girl .I hope they grow happily
yes ... very much. children are my passion that is why i took teaching as my career
because being with children my hope and dreams are alive.to produce excellent children. i like it most when I could open their minds. seeing them learn satisfies me very much. I have two children. the eldest is female now working as a nurse.
youngest is male. I was able to give my daughter her dream which was to become a licensed nurse
thats a little achievement on my part as a parent. my youngest child a boy now in college. i was able to develop his total potential as a person . he is good at English communication . his comprehension and speaking skill is very excellent . I was able to developed him. as one of his English teacher in Elementary and highschool I took it as a chance . following up assignments especially english. he was able to become as grand champion in a city spelling bee earning a Free full 4 years ( free of matriculations / school fees) of college scholarship in one of the premier University De Lasalle University here in my country Philippines . I am proud to say that in my humble way I was able to produce oustanding children if not average which was also in the case of my students , developing their best potentials and totality as a person are my innermost goal.
i'd prefer DINK.i don't want my kid inherit my health defects ,besides,i don't want my kid live in this decayed society. Maybe i will adopt a white or mestizo kid if i move out from china
i like children so much and i get along with them easily..i want to have 2 children :)
yes.. I want to have two one boy and 1 girl if possible twins.. If ever my first two children have same gender I would go for three but my maximum would be three minimum 2.
3 children, from a beatifull girl, who sacrifice all her life too me. like my mom :)
My wife and I are proud parents of one daughter. We wanted to have a second child, but we were not able to have another child. Raising a child is expensive and it takes a lot of responsiblity. It cost an average of $200,000 to raise a child from birth to age 18 in the United States.
I believe that it's now immoral for any parent to procreate more than a few offspring, because the world today is overpopulated. I believe that world governments should limit the number of offspring that parents are allowed to procreate. I support family planning programs which offer contraceptives and reproductive sterilization procedures that will prevent anybody from overpopulating the world.
Yes ofcourse I like children especially when I hug them, amazing feeling. I would like to have 4 no matter if boys or girls because it's God control
Yes, I like kids but, I would never adopt any of my own. I don't have mental capacity nor the ability to do so. Besides, I think I would make a terrible father anyway.
I would like to have 2 children (all boys), I like kids, I like to play with them.

Welcome to The River House, our 100 percent smoke-free (both inside the house and, sorry, but due to numerous policy violations, all over its grounds), Au Sable riverfront home, for rent to caring, responsible, non-smoking individuals who appreciate the serenity of seeing bald eagles fly, hummingbirds and orioles land at window feeders, deer out the front door and chickadees that eat seeds out of your hands.

About Bill Semion
Bill is an outdoor and travel writer and book author. Denise is retired communications chief of Southeast Michigan's largest parks system. We both love the outdoors and want to share our experience with you by opening this unique home.
Bill Semion purchased this house in 2007
Why Bill Semion chose Higgins Lake
Bill has spent much of his summer fishing and camping in the region and when the opportunity came to purchase a home on the river he loves in 2007, he jumped at it. Its easy access, three hours from most of Southeast Michigan via I-75 (exit 239), makes it an ideal, easy-to-reach getaway.
There is wood walkway leading to the home, making access to the first floor easy for those with disabilities. The home is on one of the eastern United States' best trout streams, and it is a popular canoe/kayak destination as well, with at least three liveries in town offering car spotting and pickup/delivery.
What makes this house unique
Here are a few things to look forward to on your visit: access to three state parks, miles of mountain bike, cross-country ski and hiking trails; brook and brown trout fishing in the famed Au Sable River, kayaking and canoeing, quiet, Narnia-like snowy ski trails, and starry nights you must see to believe in front of a campfire within feet of your front door, or enjoy a glass of wine in the bubbly hot tub while stars glisten overhead.

Wikileaks' Assange gives media statement in London: photos
Summary: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange gave a statement to protesters and the media from the Ecuadorian embassy in London on Sunday.
4 of 35Image
Protesters from around the U.K. descended on the embassy -- a stones throw away from London's Harrods store -- donning Anonymous-style motifs.
One protester is seen with a t-shirt for the Russian punk band "Pussy Riot." Its three members were sent to prison for two years late last week for hooliganism. Russia was mentioned during Assange's speech.
One protester holds a placard saying: "Blowing the whistle on war crimes is not a crime," in response to a number of Wikileaks releases that blew the whistle on high-profile controversial and often violent events.
