Anything going on this Saturday? I don't see anything on the schedule. I was thinking a couple PC cash rounds? Possibly followed by a MSDGA club meeting at birchwood saloon.
Louie is running a DDAR on Friday at 7 and a Skillshot on Saturday at Hilltop Short 9 . I'm sure he will post soon
But until then, pay attention during announcements at WND you Melon Farmer :-)
Skilshot on the short 9? So you have to get it in a 10' circle? Haha. Post it on the scene, pinchu00e8 pendejo!
super PC no lunch for me!! ;-)
but we know a little dab'l do yah...hehe
You have to get down the fairway first Greg. Something super posing wont do for you haha
I've got it posted now.
We should raise the stakes. Two disc round?
That's a good idea, Greg. I know most of us only use 2-3 discs anyways. I'll do that next time since all the details have been posted.

any one see a 4 legged camp time stool laying around after leagues last night? I forgot it in the excitement of the throwoff. It has a bunch of enviro/nature/fishing stickers on it. It doesn't have the back rest attached. Thanks!!

There are lots of G Star, Star, Champ and Judges and Verdicts .
Greg Rouse August 13 at 7:21pm
Anybody up for some dubs on the 18 Friday night?
That's usually the thing to do the night before a tourney so people can see the layout or get a practice round in. However, I'm guessing it would need to start earlier which makes it tough for the Anchorage folks. If you hold it, people will show.
I'll announce it at league and test the waters. Maybe assess a start time
i think 6pm start time should be fine. should finish before 9-10pm
who would be able to make it at 6pm?
I heard a few 6:30s at dubs tonight an a couple 6s. I'm gonna let the anchorage guys make the call on this one.
I'm game
6:30 sounds fine to me
Greg Rouse August 12 at 6:21am
So, trying to finish up preparations for my tournament. I have 7 pdga approved baskets committed so far and I need 9. Does anyone else out there have 2 all steel baskets they can spare for a day? If you do I will make arrangements to get it out here and back to you, whether or not you can make the tournament. You'd be doing a favor for both me and our club. Feel free to call or text at 315-2343, or let me know on here. Thanks!
Mike Briseno August 11 at 8:23pm
Lost Tsunami Breaker behind the basket of 18. Reward. Numbers on the disc.
kincaid I assume ?
which one a tsunami or a breaker? two different discs. but i havent seen either. considering i havent played kincaid since states tho i guess i wouldnt have... lol
Greg Rouse August 9 at 9:25pm
Cash singles at alcantra in about an hour/ hour an a half. 7 people in so far. 5 buck buy and tags probably in. As soon as we're done trimming new hole 8 we will be organizing in the parking lot.
tags probably?
We'll do tags during singles league tomorrow (Sunday.)
Tags should always be in play in a singles match. Just saying
he meant all the tags in despite what card you were on
Jake Haskin August 8 at 7:39pm
Cash game tomorrow! 10 am at PC, 5 smackaroos folks!!
sweet. choices...alcantra to work or PC for CASH!!!??
Alcantra for a chance to get some league prepays or plastic...
PC if ya can't afford to drive all the way to Alcantra haha
carpooling is a great thing
well Jake, if you win at PC, you should have enough to drive to Alcantra and back = )
turns out i cant go to pc, family stuff, but i had people wanted me to post this on here, so i did haha
Free beer!
headin to the valley, come on out
making some great progress today with Greg and Aaron...the fairways are starting to take shape!
I hope that more members from the ADGA will make an effort to help the MSDGA with their completion of the 18 hole Alcantra course. They have worked very hard since late winter to achieve their goal, get out there and show your appreciation for their efforts by giving them a few hours of your time. If you have the time to play DG you have the time to volunteer.
Not about the time, it's about havin the means to get out there. Personally anyway, if I didn't have family stuff goin on and I had a mode of transportation out there, i woulda helped. Alas I did not though...
josh stewart August 6 at 12:59am
So I've been kicking around the idea of a fall glow league Saturday nights at WCL w a few Dg NOMADS. I'd really just like to play a round w the lit baskets and actual glow discs or day glow/ black light reaponsive discs. Even if we just played it for s's & g's. Anyone interested?
Sounds awesome. Jesse and I each have one.
I worded it wrong, weekly cash game, no league points leaderboards or anything. So weekly honest to gosh glow game. WCL w lit DG nomads. Glow plastic , dayglo or pull your lights back out early.
So a cash game just to chains on the nomads? No basket?
It'll be like tone poles with chains!
Yeah no basket, consensus on contact w plastic chains. Black lights on stakes for all baskets. Contact will be obvious
Those nomads, if you hit target area you pretty much made it on a reg basket.
5$ w a pack of AAA's bought and subtracted from payout. So all lights will work.
Greg Rouse August 6 at 12:22am
Alcantra Open plastic just came in. Received a limited number of very special colors. Pay early- payment order will reflect who gets to choose their plastic first! Looking forward to seeing you all.
post a pic of the discs!
The limited ones are posted as pictures on the tourney page on here. Teal havocs (there are also a couple gold ones,) and grey scythes (the rest are white.)
Toni Osiecki August 5 at 9:12pm
There is no ADGA meeting planned at Hilltop tonight. Come for leagues at 7pm!
Colin T August 5 at 7:02pm
Interested in playing a round or two at some of the courses here in anchorage. I'm from alabama and didn't bring any of my discs with me...is sports authority my best option or are there any strictly disc golf stores around town?
PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS. they are pretty good
great, thanks!
You should come to Tuesday Night Pitch and Putt tonight at Hilltop Ski Area. It's 10 dollars and it's a great time with some disc golfers.
also i am sure Hilltop has a good selection of custom stamped discs for sale...and you are supporting Hilltop to boot.
Thad Murgatroyd August 5 at 1:59pm
I have tried over the last few days to start a DDAR League but I am doing something wrong with the scheduling because it won't let me pick a date a ace occurred on. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Because it's not something that happens on the same day like leagues maybe you should treat it like a tourney. That way you can add everyone that attended, give everyone a score of 54, and post aces and the amounts for those who hit. This will work. Although, there could be a better way. Maybe send Pete Crist a PM. He's great about responding. Hope this helps.
Awesome thanks Louie. I will see if he can add a Ace race format
Thad Murgatroyd July 31 at 2:45pm
One extra thing is this: if you have a few discs that you dont use or need please bring them to donate to our Military personnel here and abroad . We will have a collection box out so please help and lets show these great people what a awesome dg community we have here . Thanks to all of you
Thad Murgatroyd July 29 at 12:50pm

Thad Murgatroyd July 23 at 3:58pm
Taco Tuesday!!! Whats better than Pitch and Putt League? $1 Taco's is What! Prior to leagues next Tuesday we will have Taco's at the Snack Shack . Come get your grub on .
Greg Rouse July 21 at 2:30pm
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the MSDGA at the Rally. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves. That said, I'm starting to make the final preparations for the Alcantra Open. I will be planning several work days in the coming weeks. What we require to get the new 18 ready for play is weedwhackers and a pole saw or two. The lines are already cut, we just need to get the vegetation knocked down. Also there are some lower branches (as seen on "Hole 3" from Rally) that need to come down, which ... more

The lines are already cut, we just need to get the vegetation knocked down. Also there are some lower branches (as seen on "Hole 3" from Rally) that need to come down, which will make the pole saw invaluable. Finally, as we haven't quite raised the funds for the new baskets, I need some loaners. I will be purchasing security cable and locks so you can be assured your basket(s) will be securely anchored for the 12 or so hours that they will be on the course. I need 6 or 7 more baskets in order to have the full layout. I'll have some goodies and incentives for any of you who come out and volunteer a basket or some time on the course. This will be the first time this new course is played, and I'm looking forward to making this tournament a successful one with your help.
Greg Rouse
You're more than welcome to use my DiscCatcher. Just let me know so you can check one off your list.
Sounds good. One more down. I think I'll make a baske run to anchorage the day before and stow all the ones I can grab in my garage until the next morning just to save you guys some trouble.
Ill have mine there
All I have is those disc catcher sports if ya get real desperate I have 3 of em
Traveler* not sport...
Hopefully it won't come to that but we'll see. It might not be a bad idea to bring them anyway for CTP and putting practice at tournament central.
You can use the same two I brought out Sat. and a disc catcher which I believe is like Lou Dogg's.
So far I have 7 tentatively committed with you guys- 9 is obviously the target (no pun intended.) Thanks guys, and anybody else who has a (preferably all steel) basket hit me up!
Justin foster has one I bet he will let us use
Thad Murgatroyd July 20 at 12:43am
Thad Murgatroyd just now
Food Shack is back !!!!
Starting Monday the Trailer at Hilltop will be taking Greens fees and will have food for sale again . I'm not sure what is on the menu yet but did hear mention of personal pizza's and Hotdogs and Hamburgers , Drinks and snacks . They more that play the better it should get . Come early for Tuesday's league and grab a bite .

"Good for a short trip"
"everything was nice from the cleaning crew and the front desk. good location."
3 out of 10 | Dave stayed August 03, 2013
"expected more from a well known hotel chain."
"No smoking room but you could smell smoke. Early morning the smoke was very strong. Small pillows half the size of standard pillows. Would not expect when you have king size bed. Would not stay again even if it was free."
7 out of 10 | Rachelle stayed June 02, 2013
"I was impressed with the spaciousness of the room ad how reasonably priced it was. It was very clean although decor was outdated. Staff at the front desk was not as helpful and professional as I would have liked and did not know the answers to most of my questions and seemed uninterested in finding out the answers."
2 out of 10 | Estella stayed May 05, 2013
"not a good customer service"
"I was not happy at all, with management specialy"
8 out of 10 | Sandra stayed January 01, 2012
"It was a clean, quiet, comfortable. Well priced and great service. Would book again and again!"
1 out of 10 | Al stayed December 01, 2011
"Discomfort at the Comfort Inn"
"I chose this hotel on the basis of comparatively low price to others in the area. On the surface it appeared to be a reasonable selection. My room was neat however the carpeting was so old and dirty I kept my shoes on. The through-wall air conditioner / heating unit was noisy and in poor condition. During the night the smoke detector chirped intermittentaly as they do when in need of fresh batteries. It began around 2 AM and continued until I vacated the room. The front desk clerk noted my complaint and told me a manager wouldn't be present until 11 am-and I was welcome to await his arrival. I phoned the hotel several times throughout the day and no one answered the phone. When I finally contacted the manager he told me I should have changed rooms (at 2 AM or later) so it was entirely my fault that I was unable to sleep that night. There are better places than the Meadowvale Comfort Inn at which to stay in the area. I truly regret my selection of that facility."
9 out of 10 | Verified Guest stayed August 22, 2010
"Excellent accommodations for price and location"
"The accommodations at this hotel were excellent; the rooms and corrdiors were very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend this hotel, particularly if you are on a budget, excellent amenities for the price, i.e. microwave, small fridge and internet! My only complaint: I found the cooling unit a bit loud - other than this the Comfort Inn provides great accommodation. Location also is excellent, close to the 401 and 403."
9 out of 10 | Maciej stayed August 04, 2010
"nice suprise"
"compare this location with others of the same brand and other in this price line is the most clean and comfortable,this hotel's value for the dollar is very good"

"Surprisingly quiet."

This is a great article covering how 160 character became the number we are all forced to live with today. You can read the whole thing at LA Times
In 1985 Friedhelm Hillebrand a communications researcher and a dozen others had were laying out the plans to standardize a technology that would allow cellphones to transmit and display text messages. Because of tight bandwidth constraints of the wireless networks at the time — which were mostly used for car phones — each message would have to be as short as possible.
Hillebrand had an argument with a friend about whether 160 characters provided enough space to communicate most thoughts. "My friend said this was impossible for the mass market," Hillebrand said. "I was more optimistic."
As chairman of the nonvoice services committee within the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), a group that sets standards for the majority of the global mobile market, he pushed forward the group's plans in 1986. All cellular carriers and mobile phones, they decreed, must support the short messaging service (SMS).
Looking for a data pipeline that would fit these micro messages, Hillebrand came up with the idea to harness a secondary radio channel that already existed on mobile networks.
This smaller data lane had been used only to alert a cellphone about reception strength and to supply it with bits of information regarding incoming calls. Voice communication itself had taken place via a separate signal.
"We were looking to a cheap implementation," Hillebrand said on the phone from Bonn. "Most of the time, nothing happens on this control link. So, it was free capacity on the system."
Initially, Hillebrand's team could fit only 128 characters into that space, but that didn't seem like nearly enough. With a little tweaking and a decision to cut down the set of possible letters, numbers and symbols that the system could represent, they squeezed out room for another 32 characters.
Still, his committee wondered, would the 160-character maximum be enough space to prove a useful form of communication? Having zero market research, they based their initial assumptions on two "convincing arguments," Hillebrand said.
For one, they found that postcards often contained fewer than 150 characters.
Second, they analyzed a set of messages sent through Telex, a then-prevalent telegraphy network for business professionals. Despite not having a technical limitation, Hillebrand said, Telex transmissions were usually about the same length as postcards.
Just look at your average e-mail today, he noted. Many can be summed up in the subject line, and the rest often contains just a line or two of text asking for a favor or updating about a particular project.
But length wasn't SMS only limitation. "The input was cumbersome," Hillebrand said. With multiple letters being assigned to each number button on the keypad, finding a single correct letter could take three or four taps. Typing out a sentence or two was a painstaking task.
Later, software such as T9, which predicts words based on the first few letters typed by the user, QWERTY keyboards such as the BlackBerry's and touchscreen keyboards including the iPhone's made the process more palatable.
But even with these inconveniences, text messaging took off. Fast. Hillebrand never imagined how quickly and universally the technology would be adopted. What was originally devised as a portable paging system for craftsmen using their cars as a mobile office is now the preferred form of on-the-go communication for cellphone users of all ages.
Obviously Hillenbrand was dead on. Text messaging has been a major boom around the world and here in the US where mobile users sent an average of 357 texts per month in the second quarter of 2008 versus an average of 204 calls.
If you are wondering if the guy who helped revolutionize SMS became rich, unfortunately for him he did not. But thanks to Hillenbrand I was able to start-up a Mobile Marketing company with my partner Greg and I can let my wife know when I am running late for dinner.

Grave of the Fireflies - Hotaru no haka (This is the anime not the live-action movie) Year:1988 Genre:Drama,war,ww2,historical Audio language: Japanese and English Text language: English Animation Production: Studio Ghibli Subs are same with dub. Format: .Mkv Plot Summary: On the final days of World War II, 14-year-old Seita and his four-year-old sister Setsuko are orphaned after their mother is killed during an air-raid by American forces in Kobe, Japan. After having a falling-out with their aunt, they move into an abandoned bomb shelter. With no surviving relatives and their emergency funds and rations depleted, Seita and Setsuko must struggle to survive their hardships as well as those of their country, which is on the losing end of the war. It is a anti-war anime like Barefoot gen. It is another perfect Ghibli film but it is not a Hayao Miyazaki work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not able to open files or want to watch in better quality.

Thank You for this. Where should I send a request?
You can write here, or the last torrent that I uploaded. I usually check my last torrent everyday I only check my other torrents once a week.
This movie will make you cry blood
Aspect ratio is wrong. It should be widescreen (1.85:1), but it's 1.24:1.
Released by? is this the h264 or something else?
I LOVE this movie!! I used to have it on video and I'd watch it every week when I was little (in the 90s) It makes me cry a river every time I watch it, yet its soo sweet. Thank youu for uploading it! Seed pls :)
Wonderful quality. Just one file (mkv, right?) with English and Japanese audio plues English captions. Plays perfectly on VLC. I didn't notice antything wrong with the aspect ratio.... Oh, and it downloaded pretty fast too
mkv has always been the more superior format for size Plus quality.... thanks.
will this play in WMP?
PeteSapai:- ... so humble, so grateful, so polite, such a welcome addition to the human race... I am sure the uploader would come and clean your car and mow your lawn whilst his PC is re-encoding this movie especially for you. Hell I am sure he'd let you wear his dressing gown, smoke his cigars and fcuk his wife too. Ungrateful prick.
Thank you.
it's very been a long time since i last cried this much. i always thought that i am a man whos not easy to cry . but this movie breaks my hearth and now i even can't stop crying. what an amazing movie is this? it's what really calls movie even its anime
best anime ever
looks to be a great movie from the reviews, thanks!!
Thank U!!!!
Great release, thanks. +1 What a beautiful movie -- the rip could only be improved by including a printable handkerchief.
Thank you!
Thanx "Hagaren777". For an animated movie, I believe this is a tear jerker. I'm not a big fan of this type of Japanese animation, but with all the good ratings, I'll give it a shot. So much appreciated & cheers.... :-) ..........
Excuse me, how do I actually set up the player to get the audio in Japanese? thank you.
I got it! thanks!
Film quality looks good: however if your computer doesn't have the fonts for the subtitles (that is you get all "A"s) and if the dubbing does your head in here's a link: http://subscene.com/subtitles/grave-of-the-fireflies-hotaru-no-haka/english/136188 It's a rar file so unzip (I use Stuffit expander) then if you are using VLC go: video >>> subtitles >>> Open file >>> Grave_Of_The_Fireflies_(Hotaru_no_haka).DVDRip.H264.640x352.kk

About Hilary
We have been renting Chalet Apartment Grandmassif though an agency for 5 years but feel it is now appropriate to manage the holiday rentals ourselves.
This will hopefully allow more flexibility for both guests and family with the added benefit of a more personable interaction. We have in resort contacts for help if required during your stay and have negotiated discounts with local hire shops and transfer companies.
Hilary purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Hilary chose Samoens
For us Samoens seemed to offer so much more than other mountain villages and really does match up to those fantastic honest reviews.
We ideally wanted to holiday in a picturesque setting both summer and winter with facilities for all age groups from grandchildren to grandparents. We do like having the availability of many kilometres of skiing across an extended area and to visit other resorts. The Giffre valley offers this with the Grand Massif ski area accessed by the village cable car and the ski areas of the Porte du Soleil, Chamonix or through the Mont Blanc tunnel in Italy are easily reached for a days skiing.
Chalet Apartment Grand Massif is in an extremely enviable location within Samoens next to a reliable and frequent ski bus stop. The apartment was built in 2003 and still looks new, external and internal finishes are maintained to a high standard. It is very well equipped and has all the conveniences and comforts of home. The larger of seven apartments, within two similarly sized stand alone attractive chalets, it has its own external stairs and entrance. A private garage with a heated boot cupboard and storage for sports equipment. There is also a communal garden and parking.
The 80 m2 duplex design is very desirable and feels extremely spacious. A south facing double height windows in the living area has spectacular views of the mountains and of the Nant D'Ant waterfall. Sliding patio doors open onto a south east L- shaped balcony over looking the garden area with outside furniture and BBQ. The bedrooms and spacious bathrooms plus separate WC are arranged over the two floors. The mezzanine upstairs is a useful multipurpose space.
Even after 5 years of ownership and visiting many local properties we feel very proud that this is among the best designed, maintained and equipped 3-4 bedroomed apartments in Samoens.
See our website for guest testimonials.
What makes this apartment unique
Buying an apartment seems to be a lottery you think you have thought of all the points but then discover that you had missed a major asset.
Luckily we have discovered since buying our apartment additional benefits that we had not expected. We have found that in summer the sun rises and shines into the bedrooms, then the east facing windows catch the rays flooding the living area and kitchen with sunlight before settling on the main balcony where it stays until sunset.
The layout of the apartment is ideal for sharing the bedrooms being split over two floors each with a bathroom. The open plan kitchen- living room providing a both physical and sound barrier.
The second sitting area on the mezzanine has been great for children to play during a dinner party or for drying washing overnight out of direct sight.
Changing into ski kit is no longer a struggle with warm dry boots, helmets and gloves stored in the heated locker and plenty of space to store skis individually. The electric garage door enables a key free ski.
Access to Geneva airport with regular flights throughout the year is great for extended weekend breaks.

"Hey WWE I'm not trying to be rude but the crowd seems to really want Daniel Bryan. Juuuuuuust MAFAKIN Saying!! Geez. Sadly WWE is still run by 'Muscle Marks.' It is what it is folks."
- Shane Helms on backstage politics in WWE
"You're not allowed to get over in WWE unless they want you to. If you do, you can and will be punished. Has happened to many over the years."
- Armando Estrada on backstage politics in WWE
There are many people within WWE that are impressed with Zack Ryder for how he has handled himself as a professional, despite being essentially buried by the company. He still shows up to work with enthusiasm, and he genuinely seems to enjoy his job.
The belief is that Big E Langston has a really safe position within WWE because of his real life relationship with John Cena. Many feel that management will give him a decent push in order to appease the World Heavyweight Champion.
There are those within WWE that feel that Daniel Bryan should be demoted back down to the mid card division.
As his powers within WWE grow, Road Dogg has now been backstage at both Monday Night Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis.
While he portrays an arrogant and dominating boyfriend on Impact Wrestling, Chris Sabin is doing the total opposite on his Twitter account. He has been posting sad messages about missing Velvet Sky. He even stated that only half of him is celebrating his birthday, as his other half is now gone.
It was revealed earlier in the week that TNA had signed Alpha Female, a wrestler who is known in Europe. Management has decided to pair her up with Chris Sabin, who recently broke up with Velvet Sky on screen. The relationship is designed to be a focal story line point for the Knockouts division.
Chris Sabin decided to do a little taunting by posting on Twitter how he won the TNA X Division Championship all on his own.
While they play a troubled couple on screen for TNA, former world champion Chris Sabin and former Knockouts champion Velvet Sky are actually dating. The two of them have been romantically involved with one another for quite some time now.
On Impact Wrestling, Jeff Hardy defeated Chris Sabin to advance in the TNA World Heavyweight Championship tournament.
Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.

18-year-old paralyzed swimmer Victoria Arlen won a gold medal and set a world record in the 2012 games. Now the International Paralympic Committee has ruled the New Hampshire ineligible to participate in the upcoming world championship in Montreal...because her injury is possibly not permanent because of the slim chance she might walk again. Victoria became unable to move her legs at age 11 after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that put her in a coma for two years. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that IPC Director of Media and Communications, Craig Spence, said there's "no question that Victoria has an impairment at the moment," but the committee found no "conclusive evidence of a permanent eligible impairment." Dr. Michael Levy of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore clarified a report that indicated she may recover. "It will take many months to years to get Ms. Arlen back on her feet. I did not mean to imply that Ms. Arlen would be able to walk quickly," Levy wrote. "Please do not misconstrue my plan as a statement of permanence of her disability." "What kills me is their people have no experience with my daughter's disease and have given an opinion. They've got every disability in this organization, but this is discrimination," Arlen's father, Larry, told ABC News of the decision. "It's crazy." "Being penalized for maybe having a glimmer of hope of one day being able to walk again is beyond sad. There's a chance everyone with a lot of rehab and different technologies, [...] there's hope," she said. "I'm always looking for hope, and I was basically penalized for having hope. What message are we giving the world when we don't encourage hope for disabled individuals?" **Follow us on Twitter, View via Our Mobile Site, or Return to BobsBlitz.com.Follow us on Twitter.

Tallulah, Chapel Hill
This was my 3rd time at Tallulah & the best. We had an all mezze dinner, but this time we ordered just a few plates at a time. This was key to enjoyment.
With the wine, Viognier we ordered Imam Bayildi, the eggplant was smoky & the flavour extremely subtle. Then hot mezze felafels, zucchini patties & cheese boregi. The felafels were rather heavy, but the patties, light & delicate with a yogurt sauce & the fried boregi had tangy feta & a ketchupy red sauce that I felt it didn't need.
By now I was full but my friend wasn't & he ordered vine leaves & more cheese boregi. The vine leaves again were subtle stuffed with herbs, al dente rice & toasted pignolis. I managed a few more boregi. Then turkish coffee (sweet, naturally) & baklava. I love turkish coffee & make it, and this was excellent, the baklava home made & subtle.
The service was attentive, the atmosphere relaxing. All the tables were filled outside -deservedly so. Our mezze that evening were all veg, but they have meat ones (very good) & seafood. So it's a great way to dine.
I've never had a turkish meal of this quality in nyc...
re: inmybackpages
I tend to order appetizers , rather than main courses. Their Turkish pizzas are reasonable. If it weren't for the fact that our kid goes for the chicken kebobs (which I think are a bit pricey) we wouldn't feel as though we were spending too much, not for a nice night out. Here's an idea for a fun evening out - okay, not cheap, but fun for a special date: go appetizer-hopping on West Franklin. Start at the Lantern bar - drink and app - then app at the bar at Elaine's (or later for dessert), then go to Tallulah's and share another app. w/ some of their bread or a Turkish pizza, followed by an order of baklava. The pizzas aren't particularly big & the baklava is definitely shareable. We once got four pieces in a single order.
Tallulah's is a good restaurant, but I like even better Bosphorus in Cary. It's just as good and a lot cheaper.
re: inmybackpages
David; do you cook Turkish food? As I do & Tallulah is gourmet standard. So it's worth it to me. If mezze are $8.00- $7.00 I've had a 1st class meal.
As for Lantern, my dad has grown 30 varieties of heirloom tomatoes in Ireland & the ones here aren't as good. I also cook veg & fish. So local Shrimp & Scallops are better at my house. Ditto veg dishes at Acme. I've ground my own Thai curry pastes in the past & we toast & grind our own masalas, & make Indian pickle & chutneys. So I expect a great deal when I go out for $$ or else tasty Jamaican & Ethiopian for less..
Like Suse, I like appetizer dining as well. You usually get variety & the best & for less.. So I'd definitely love an evening out appetizer hopping. Great idea.
You seem to be saying "thumbs up" on Tallulah and "thumbs down" on Lantern and Acme. I agree completely. I've said before that Tallulah is the best restaurant on Franklin Street. Still, I prefer Bosphorus. The food is heartier, perhaps less "gourmet," but prepared with a practiced, old-world hand, and, yes, a good deal cheaper.
I don't cook Turkish food myself.
Well said David. Our expectations. So yes, if heartier is okay, for sure go to Bosphorus. If you want the equivalent of haute cuisine go to Tallulah. Okay I'll make that distinction when I post in the future.
Sorry Detlef, I had just looked at Lantern's 'special's' & they're offering an 'heirloom tomato' salad. I applaud this, just like I applaud the greenmarkets. But we grew our own quality produce: watercress, arrugula, lambs tongues & the heirloom tomatoes (plus chinese spinach, choi sum, & Indian greens & more..).I actually had a stall at the Greenmarket in Galway & sold baked goods in anticipation of our crop. Some of the tomatoes were bad & other varieties were fantastic.
The heirlooms & produce at the greenmarket don't impress me; but that's expectations. Mine are really high & the local heirlooms have tough skins & so-so flavour. You can do way better.
If I want peas & rice & chicken jump-up, I don't care if I eat in a palace or a basement. I can't really get that anywhere,( and mine just doesn't come close)
re: Rory
I'm at least as confused now. I too, come from an area with amazing markets (Santa Cruz, CA). I mean, it's practically Eden out there. I also find myself pining for the days when I was surrounded by such bounty. Farmers around here have a ton of challenges that those back home didn't have to contend with; more pests, more rot, late summer rains, etc. So, yes, the resulting produce may not be as good. None the less, it's what we have and it's hardly bad. I've been getting amazing peppers, in particular, of late.
But again, what does this have to do with Lantern? Are you implying that rather than go to Lantern, someone should visit your home in Ireland and eat better tomatoes?
regardless of expectations--this area is recognized nationally in the US for excellent produce. i grow good veggies at home, too, and work hard to do so; i still can't hold a candle to the very best to be had at the carrboro farmer's market.
furthermore-- as difficult as the post was to follow, i'm not sure i echo the sentiment about talullah's. i've had shoddy service, along with mediocre, bland food on every visit.
I agree about the fresh produce. It's terrific.The food here is consistantly better & fresher than in nyc, with a huge variety of choice.
But as I said it's a matter of where you are at in terms of knowledge & experience.
As to Tallulah's I don't know what you order. That's key. Eat a boring kebab, that's what you get. Check out Binnur's website to get some idea of Turkish cuisine.
re: Rory
first of all, i'm on this website because i get excited about food that i don't understand or see very often. i don't eat "boring food" as a rule. i went with turkish friends (one of whom is a culinary anthropologist in boston), and ordered as they did after asking them lots of questions about the cuisine, preparation, what they would be excited about eating, etc. they agreed with the assessment, and also agreed that the meat was overcooked and underseasoned all around. and, to top it all off, the service was really pretty bad--drinks not arriving for twenty minutes or more on multiple occasions, lack of knowledge about the menu, and a pervasive smell of cigarette smoke every time the server arrived at the table. the last time i endured this was a year ago, to be fair; but as it was a third visit, i won't be back. those are my expectations.
re: HeelsSoxHound
i won't go anywhere that charges $8 for a plate of hummus.
While I enjoyed my one visit to Tallaluh's in terms of food, I too found the service snottty and spotty. These days, however, I expect NOTHING in terms of service from any restaurant. It is simply the modern American reality that professional waiters have been replaced by underprepared if friendly and well-meaning college kids. There is nothing to do but clutch your plate as somebody tries prematurely to remove it.
Do you go out Fri/Sat? I never do, hate the rush & hubbub. Tues, Thurs, Wed are far superior. I've always had very good service wherever I've been; Acme, Panzanella, Tallulah, Sandwich, Carolina Inn etc..
I always like to have my wine before the appetizer, it happened once the waitress forgot. Got it as my entree came.
so I make sure to order it before anything. It makes my evening but I really cannot expect the staff to be alert to that unless I'm at a private club.
I love Talullah's - but as other posters have noted, don't go for dinner on Friday or Saturday night. They turn it into a dance club on weekend nights, and it is disconcerting to try to finish your meal while the waitresses are already moving all the other tables aside and the DJ is setting up. Totally ruins the atmosphere, which I think is usually the best part of Talullah's. I like the food, but I go back often because of the combination of interesting food with a fun place to hang out with friends - interesting cocktails, good wines by the glass, flattering lighting :-).
I've also never bothered with Talullah's entrees, always ordered small plates - the salads especially are always interesting, and I always get the kefte (sp?). The one time I had their Turkish pizza I didn't like it - compare to the rest of the menu it's so heavy, and was loaded down with tons of bland cheese. But the others at my table liked it, so who knows.
And it isn't fair to compare a baked ceramic crock of Turkish hummus and Talullah's thick chewy bread to a Med Deli scoop from a giant bin with factory pita - I love both, but they are different foods, and the former is worth $8 to me, personally.
re: dubedo
except that you can get really good hummus at other places, perhaps other cities for a lot less.
Hi Dubedo;
Thanks for making the point more eloquently than I can. The meat koftes are excellent. Maybe next time I'll try a seafood one - the mussels, never did the pizzas & won't, so thanks for the tip.
As for hummus, I've made it at home with the best indgredients but it doesn't taste the same. Their cooking is at a very refined level & I'm more than happy to pay for it. Just like French bistro vs. refined classic French cuisine.

With rumors of a Michael Phelps comeback, there's one American who thinks Phelps should STAY OUT of the pool, Bruce Jenner. Phelps announced he "retired" from swimming after dominating at the 2012 games but now may be itching to dive back in the pool.

"He's done," Jenner told TMZ "Quit while you're ahead."

Australian researchers have discovered why koalas hug trees. Thermal imaging shows that the trunks of some acacia and eucalyptus species are as much as 5C cooler than their surroundings in hot weather.
Scientists at the University of Melbourne observed 30 koalas living on French Island, off the coast of Victoria. They found that, although panting and fur-licking helped cool the animals, this behaviour could lead to dehydration. Lying with legs wrapped around the lower limb of a tree seemed a better strategy. "Access to these trees can save about half the water a koala would need to keep cool on a hot day," says lead researcher Natalie Briscoe.
The team used a thermal camera and a portable weather station to assess the conditions available to the koalas in different places within the trees where they live. During heatwaves they were more likely to hug the trunks and lower branches than in cooler weather, when they lived higher in the canopy. They also frequented acacias, the species with the coolest trunks, more in extreme heat than in normal conditions, when they preferred eucalyptus trees.
Koalas are vulnerable to thermal stress – as many as a quarter of some populations have died in heatwaves. But the researchers' findings are significant to a wider range of arboreal animals, as climate change brings more extreme weather.
"Cool tree trunks are likely to be an important microhabitat during hot weather for other tree-dwelling species including primates, leopards, birds and invertebrates," says Michael Kearney, co-author of the study published in the journal Biology Letters. "The availability of cooler trees should be considered when assessing habitat suitability under current and future climate scenarios."

a mistake-rib scarf knit on the bias
I love the look of a bias-knit scarf, especially in self-striping yarn, but garter stitch is just so darn boring. So I set about converting my favorite reversible stitch into a bias-knit pattern. Several hilarious test swatches later, I think I got it right...
I used James C Brett Marble Chunky on size 10 needles, but the pattern is gaugeless.
Sl - slip stitch purlwise
KFB - Knit through front, then back, of stitch. This creates a new stitch.
Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches plus 2.
Row 1: Sl1, KFB, [P2, K2] to last 4 stitches, P1, P2tog, K1
Row 2: Sl1, [K1, P1] to last stitch, K1
Row 3: Sl1, KFB, K1, [P2, K2] to last 3 stitches, P2tog, P1
Row 4: Sl1, [P1, K1] to last stitch, P1

At last, dear readers, baseball has returned. TBL has little to report: the Dome was crowded, the "food" remains unchanged, the score was not all one hoped it would be. It appears our boys left all the good bats in Florida. Overnight courier, anyone?
(By the bye, does anyone know why there were no Gameday programs?)
On the bright side, the Twins are tied for first in the division (with Cleveland and Detroit, who also lost, half a game ahead of Kansas City and Chicago, whose game was postponed). And Joe Crede's back appears to have survived the night.
Postscript for the psychotic Justin Morneau fan a few rows back: He can't hear you. Give it a rest, already.

Two objects have been found in the southern Indian Ocean which could be related to the missing Malaysian Airlines MH730, BBC News is reporting.
Australian's have joined the search for the aircraft, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 passengers on board.
Today BBC reports Prime Minister Tony Abbott made the announcement, stating the objects have been identified on satellite imagery.
"Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified," Abbott said.
There is still a chance that these objects may not be related to the missing aircraft.
And earlier today...
Devastated family members of those on board missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 have caused an uproar in protest to the Malaysian authorities at a press conference.
The chaos erupted just before Malaysian authorities were about to address media to reveal files were recently deleted from the personal flight simulator owned by the pilot... Another suspicious addition to a bemusing collection of information.
The relatives showed up to the Sama Sama Hotel in Kuala Lumpur carrying banners, accusing of Malaysian authorities of hiding the truth, wasting time and money on the search.
One relative was knocked to the ground in a stampede as police pushed back on the protest.
The latest theory circulating is that Asian officials are staging a mass cover up, after it was reported Thai and Malaysian military saw the missing aircraft on the day it disappeared.
EERIE: Watch as MH370 go through their final security check.

Danny Welbeck's sublime strike in the 4-4 draw with Everton was his 10th in the Barclays Premier League for United.
As it draws him level on double figures with John O'Shea, only six youth team products have now outscored the England international since the inception of the league 20 years ago.
So our trivia question for this week is: Name the six United players who have come through the ranks at Old Trafford and scored more Premier League goals than Danny Welbeck.
Click here for the answers and look out for another poser next Thursday.
More trivia: Old Trafford penalties | Northern Irish scorers | More doubles than Rooney | England's seven Reds | Alan Hardaker Trophy winners | Scored against United | Losing penalty shoot-outs | United Thirtysomethings

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Boldly Goes to Number One
When is a $70 million opening not a success? When its predecessor opened to $75 million four years ago. This is the predicament facing 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' which opened at number one at box office while being something of a disappointment.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Iron Man 3′ Makes All of the Money
Look, we all knew that 'Iron Man 3' was going to make a whole bunch of money and open at number one at the box office and kick the summer movie season off in style. The question was never "Is 'Iron Man 3' going to make any money?", the question was always "What absolutely absurd amount is 'Iron Man 3' going to make in its opening weekend?"
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oblivion' Obliterates the Competition
Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Evil Dead' Possesses the Box Office
If someone glanced at this weekend's box office, they could be forgiven for thinking they accidentally stepped into some kind of time portal. After all, films called 'Evil Dead' and 'Jurassic Park' were in the top five.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Wins the Day
Like any holiday that sees families congregating together and then desperately seeking activities where they don't have to talk to each other for two hours, this Easter weekend saw a strong bump at the box office thanks to a few new contenders and a handful of holdovers with some surprising staying power.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen' Rise to the Top
You can't imagine two films more different than 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen,' but right now the two of them sit on top of the box office chart, both temporarily linked by the fact that a bunch of people apparently wanted to see them this weekend. It's the first time in forever that two films have opened to over $30 million at the same time...but it wasn't golden for all of the new releases.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz' Still Reigns Supreme
For the second week in a row, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' lived up to its title and dominated the box office. One of the newcomers managed to fare surprisingly well in the face of Sam Raimi's blockbuster...but another simply got crushed.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' Saves the Box Office
After a series of increasingly dire weeks at the box office, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' arrived and shook things up in a major way, earning the first truly massive opening weekend of 2013 and setting the table for all kinds of Oz-related content in the near future. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is something that we'll let you judge.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Identity Thief' Climbs Back on Top
With Hollywood focused on the Oscars, this was one of the dullest box office weekends in recent memory, with each of the new releases arriving with a shrug, last week's champions plummeting and 'Identity Thief' climbing back to the top of the chart.
2013 Independent Spirit Awards Winners: 'Silver Linings Playbook' Wins Everything
David O. Russell's 'Silver Linings Playbook' was the big winner at this year's Independent Spirit Awards, taking home four awards including Best Feature. Of course, the debate asking why a mainstream, star-studded box office smash beat out the actual indie fare at the Independent Spirit Awards, but that's a conversation for another time. Check out the rest of winners below!

Chris Brown has booked his best friend Bow Wow as a supporting act for his "F.A.M.E." tour. The "You Can Get It All" rapper will join the "Kiss Kiss" hitmaker on his North American trek for some stops in October, starting on date 5 at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.
"It's gone be fun ya know," Bow promised when asked about their next collaboration. "Me and Breezy are brothers man. Our fans know that. Its just a different energy when we are on the same bill together or in the same arena. The fans know what to expect, and thats a hell of a show."
This would be the third time the two young entertainers tour together. The last time they hit the road together was in 2008 for Breezy's "Up Close and Personal" tour.
Breezy's "F.A.M.E." tour to promote his album of the same title was kicked off earlier this September with Kelly Rowland, T-Pain and Tyga among the supporting acts. Bow himself, meanwhile, is gearing up to release his eighth studio album "Underrated" on December 6.

so im getting this error when i try to run the installer for v.100 i uninstalled maple because the patcher wasn't working, it said it couldn't connect to the server so i thought simple fix re install but.. its not working, i am running windows 7 i run it as an administrator and i have done the thing were you set it to run as windows xp, but it still isn't working, i heard there was something wrong with firewall. i have made it allowed and my IE isn't in offline mode

I guess you can get online with IE since you're posting here. How are you downloading the game installer..?
If you're not already doing it this way, try going to the Maple site and go to the Downloads page (go to the main menu bar at the top of the Maple page, all the way to the right on "Support", then click on "Clients and Upgrades" on the dropdown menu. On the Downloads page, DON'T click the big "Download" button- look right under the button, there's a sentence that talks about downloading what they call "the old fashioned way" that has a link at the end of the sentence. Click that link and it will download the installer program to your computer.
When the download finishes, just open the file it downloaded to install the game.
I always do it that way and haven't had any problems with it.

Shorewood, WI
See Lake Michigan the way you have never seen it before at Atwater Park & Beach. This gem is a well-kept secret of Shorewood locals, giving you a unique opportunity to take in nature without encountering tourists. Enjoy five acres of land at this park as you stroll across the shore. Hidden at the bottom of a cliff that you can only access by descending a staircase, you are really in for a treat here. Bask in the breathtaking views as you work on your tan, play with your kids, or run with your dog.
Get ready for a celebration of all things art at Plein Air Shorewood, the annual local painting festival. This event gives local artists a chance to paint with their artistic brethren in the great outdoors while basking in the beautiful sites of Shorewood. Daily events feature meals for the artists as well as entertainment, which culminate in an auction of the work created in the festival. There are also awards for best in show, along with other prizes, for the artists that participated. So, dust off those old paintbrushes, collect your art supplies, and head to Plein Air Shorewood.
If you want to know where the locals go to hang out and unwind, head to Camp Bar. Part nightlife spot and part casual eatery, the atmosphere here is fantastic. Feel like you are out in the wilderness in their joint, with the building designed to look like a cabin. From their delicious old fashioneds to their superb BLTs, Camp Bar has something that everyone will enjoy. The place also features big screen television sets, making it the perfect option to watch the local game. Patrons love coming back to their friendly staff and general homey atmosphere, and you will, too.

The lobby of architect Melvin Grossman's classic Fifties hotel is a monument to space-age design, space-age glamour, and just plain space. Think MiMo (Miami Modernism) meets Grand Central Station. Massive decorative columns hold up an imposing plaster canopy in the center of the room. Underneath it five separate islands of couches and chairs float on a sea of vintage marble tile. A full-size hotel bar runs along one wall. Overlooking the bar is a landing big enough to be its own lobby. And if that's not enough to convey the sense of limitless optimism that fueled the Fifties: Large, curved window walls look out over the enormous pool area and onto Collins Avenue, giving the illusion of even more space. Whoever said bigger isn't always better never set foot in here.

Hi Balamuruga. Its nice to know that you have chosen stock market as an investment option. And seeing at your question confirms that you will be a very safe player. It would have better if you would have defined your short and long term span. Well, I would like to suggest you Midcap/Largecap stocks for your short term and long term span. Penny stocks are very risky for investments especially if you are entering in the market. For both short and long term, Pharma and IT stocks are very attractive. Specially, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, SBI, JP Associates, Hindustan Construction Company, Sterling are good for long term. For short term Unitec, PSL Limited, Gujarat NRE Coke are at attractive prises are are ready for break out. Please do not forget to put stop loss for your short term stocks. Happy trading.Answered by Sunil Sodegaonkar, 18 Mar '10 09:33 am
