Jack London Square neighborhood in Oakland
I'm visiting Oakland, and wondering if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced restaurant for dinner in or near Jack London Square?
re: wolfe
Exactly, define reasonable.
That said, avoid the big corp places at JLSq - Kinkaide's, Scott's Seafood, maybe Pearl's. Bocanova is nice, gets good reviews and on a nice day you can sit outside. Maybe get a drink at Heinold's. Might consider Fat Lady.
Besides Chinatown there's Old Oakland, B Restaurants, Tamarindo and the Trapist (more beer then food).
468 8th St, Oakland, CA 94607
Fat Lady
201 Washington St, Oakland, CA 94607
55 Webster Street, Oakland, CA 94607
re: ML8000
Miss Pearl's is "temporarily" closed.
re: Pius Avocado III
Didn't know that, thanks.
Chop Bar might also be worth checking out.
Try Encuentro Cafe & Wine Bar (202 - 2nd St., near Jackson; www.encuentrooakland.com). It's a vegetarian restaurant, but embraced even but carnivores. It's a small-ish place, reasonably priced and very good food.
Encuentro Cafe & Wine Bar
202 2nd St, Oakland, CA 94607
Bocanova, Encuentro, B, Battambang, Chop Bar are all places I've returned to repeatedly.
Kincaid's is a chain. Scott's might as well be.
Miss Pearl's is closed? Anybody know if Eddie Blyden's got a new gig? I love that guy's food.

re: Robert Lauriston
I second the B rec. A really nice place with good food.
re: Robert Lauriston
According to Tablehopper, a truck backed into a fire hydrant and flooded the place.
re: hyperbowler
But that was nearly a month ago.
re: Glencora
Their Yelp page has an announcement that says they plan to re-open Mid-December
re: Robert Lauriston
I used to enjoy an annual trek to Miss Pearl's. But about 5 months ago, I invited several friends to have dinner there, and it was a dreadful evening: food prep was mediocre and service was deplorable.
I hope they will use this opportunity to rise from the ashes like the Phoenix, with renewed vim and vigor.
re: escargot3
I agree. It's a nice place to sit outside by the water in warm weather.
re: escargot3
I don't think Blyden was there five months ago.
re: Robert Lauriston
That would be interesting -- if I got caught in the transition.
We were there at the end of July.
re: Robert Lauriston
The Chop Bar group bought Miss Pearl's. I understand it will be operated as MP's until January before morphing into an Italian place.
re: Pius Avocado III
Had lunch at Miss Pearl's today. Very good Cubano ($13 with choice of fries or salad), good cheeseburger (ditto), excellent sweet-potato fries. They have a brunch buffet. Eddie Blyden's still there.
re: Pius Avocado III
I had a very good gumbo for lunch today at Miss Pearl's and tasted a great Boston clam chowder. I guess their last day is January 6 or 7.
re: Robert Lauriston
Went last night for gumbo and those excellent hushpuppies- the gumbo is the best I've had outside New Orleans or my own kitchen.
They will close the doors after brunch service Sunday Jan 6.
Chef Eddie was very confident; he said he'll be taking a short break and then we won't have to go far to find him.
wouldn't consider pearl's-too pedestrian
bocanova-avoid the seafood-not fresh, tapas are innovative and fresh
cosecha- new twist on mex food. owner previously worked at chez panisse & eccolo
(open only till 6 pm daily). 1/2 block from b st. address misleading. entrance on 9th st. side, next to yogurt store.
907 washington St.
Oakland, Ca.
re: shanghaikid
Cosecha's dinner service is occasional, always on a Saturday with one seating at 7:30pm. Their website indicates the next one is Dec. 3.
Le Cheval has great Vietnamese food. you should also explore Chinatown, lots of great finds there. If you want to stay in the square, Kincaids isn't bad for a corporate restaurant - their salad with Maytag blue cheese is good and the fire roasted meats are also pretty good.
Now that Nido is in the neighborhood and hitting it's stride, is Chop Bar going to have to modify their lunch/brunch menus?
They currently have fish tacos, bus station chicken (black beans, chicken, tortillas), and chicken torta for lunch. Nido kills it with fish tacos, has fantastic chicken ollita de pobre, and their torta is one of their top dishes.
For brunch they have breakfast burrito, carnitas burrito, chille verde---all things I'm sure would be better at Nido.
All that's left is the Burger (killer and top 5 in east bay) and Pork Banh Mi (good but Sierra Deli down the street does it better).
Wondering if Nido will eat Chop Bar's lunch and Chop Bar will move away from the mexican/spanish/latin american dishes... What you all think?

'Person of Interest' identified after Lake County homicide
Published On: Aug 06 2014 05:50:19 AM MDT

Updated On: Jun 15 2014 01:21:22 PM MDT
We've just learned that the Lake County Sheriff's Department is investigating a homicide in Lake County.
Information is still very limited. We're told a dispute involving two men happened in the Mollman Pass area, northeast of Charlo, about 55 miles north of Missoula.
Sheriff's officials tell us one man was killed, and the other is on the run.
Lake County resident Harry Lozeau has been identified as a person of interest.
He's a 53-year-old Native American, 5 foot, 6 inches tall, and weighs 165 pounds.
The sheriff's department says he was last seen driving 1983 brown, two-door Plymouth Reliance.
If seen, the public is encouraged to call 911, and not to approach individual.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I'm very displeased with this school. My daughter is a student and her teacher is awesome but her class is full of children with behavior problems. Its difficult to learn in an environment that bad. Her teacher cannot get though a lesson without having to constantly address the children about things as simple as staying on the rug during learning time. They are literally crawling around the class room and screaming out of turn. And she's complained about other students bulling her already. I cannot wait wait to move far away from this school.
Edmondson Heights Elementary School is a wonderful school. We are always looking for new ways and resources to make our school better. The teachers, parents and community are all actively involved in programs and events. We look forward to stronger and even more productive 2014-2015
This school definitely needs some major work. The attitudes of the staff leave a lot to be desired. If you have a child that attends this school, please go check constantly to see what is going on. I guess since most of the teachers are so young, they forget that this should be a positive environment for children ot learn. A school is only as good as its leadership. You can not expect to get positive results out of a negative enviroment. I encourage visitation to this school to see what's going on.
My issue with this school is the noisy class rooms how do you expect childern to learn there are some childern that do want this the new teachers arenot trained they holler at the childern some childern are disrespectfully I hope that this matter can be taken care of this school year
I loved my son's teacher in Kindergarten and I love what he was learning. I had issues with my son coming home telling me how disrespectful some of the children were causing a lot of class disruption. I had a teacher tell me due to lack of sleep, chldren were falling asleep in class many days. I asked the school not to provide my child with candies except for rare occasions for parties or Holidays. My 5 year old continued to come home with candies that the teachers have given him so I pulled him out of the school. Having a good diet in school is important part of a child's learning process. I can't understand why they sell JUNK foods in the cafteria too and then they wonder why the children are super hyper in class or diagnosed with diabetes in early stages of their life. GO FIGURE!
This school is awsome my soon has been going here science kindergarten now he will be going to middle school but now we are sending our son her for kindergarten the whole staff is wonderful
I absolutely love this school! We moved here in Feb 2007 and I wouldn't want my son at any other school!! The staff is so helpful and they respond quickly to questions I have as the parent! Thank you for being so outstanding!!
This is my daughters first year at this school. I have to admit that initially I was a little leery about the school, during the first week they lost her information and things just seemed a bit unorganized. However as the year is moving along my comfort level is increasing I am very pleased with her teacher Ms. Hughes and I'm just trying to be patient and see how things unfold, they do have a new principal and new administrators so I am expecting to see some change. The school is old and could use some renovations and it is a little rowdy at times so I just try to stay involved and hope that things fall into place by the end of the school year.
I am sorry to say, but this school is the worst my 3 kids have attended. The children there are loud and disrespectful. The school is very dirty and disorganized, from the moment you walk in, you can sense the chaos that goes in day in out. My children have been bullied, harrassed, and treated inferior by others. This is a shame considering this is happening at the elementary school level. My children's self esteem has suffered a great decline. The cafeteria at is loud and chaotic, not even teachers and supervisors have control of the children at lunch time. Overall, I am sorry and sad that my children ever attended this school, and I am doing everything in my power to transfer them somewhere else. No extracurricular activities, sports, and almost no PTA involvement. There is no racial diversity and anyone coming in who is different will be an outcast.
My child is now in 7th grade and used to go to this school, I believe that this is the last school that you should send your child to. This school is not diciplined, is dirty, lunches are terrible, and most students are below grade level, which was holding my child back, because she was and still is above grade level, and has been all throughout her life. she never got to learn the things she should, everything was just to easy for her because they had to keep on reviewing and reviewing. The teacher quality could be much better. The only good teachers at this school, in my opinion, are Mrs. Creighton, the kindergarden teacher, and Mrs. Benjamin, a 5th grade teacher. But yet most public schools are, so go to private. Much Better academic skills

There are plenty of reasons why people in Fort Worth and Tarrant County love the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Some of them are about golf — but many are not, and a good portion are about kids and charities that benefit from the annual tournament.Make no mistake — the golf is great. This year's tournament, which started Thursday and winds up on Sunday, could boast three of the top eight golfers in the world. Not many tournaments at this time of year can claim that many of the game's top names.Included is No. 1-ranked Adam Scott. Of course, for spectators the tournament is not just about golf. It's about a lot of partying around the tees and greens. And it's about a whole bunch of people-watching, something of an annual fashion show in the sun.Some people may not know that the tournament is not just a four-day event. It's a year-round charity fundraiser. All PGA Tour events support charities in their local communities.Colonial Country Club holds its Charities Breakfast each December to distribute funds to more than 80 charities. The emphasis is on children's charities, and the tournament's website, crowneplazainvitational.com, lists them.The primary beneficiary is Cook Children's Medical Center, Fort Worth's crown jewel of pediatric medical care. Cook Children's is a non-profit hospital that receives patients from nearly half of Texas, and none are turned away for lack of ability to pay.But the money for life-saving medical care and equipment has to come from somewhere, and the annual PGA tournament and related events at Colonial have given Cook Children's more than $5.2 million over the past 10 years, the website says.Finally, Birdies for Charity raised $6.1 million last year alone. Charitable organizations get individuals and corporations to pledge a certain amount for each birdie made during the tournament.Donors must keep in mind that these are very good golfers. The 2013 tournament saw 1,381 birdies. Each penny pledged brought in $13.81, and some folks pledged a lot of pennies.Great fun and great causes make this tournament special.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year…from our home to yours. What an eventful year it has been around our home! In February we accepted the referral for our new daughters and then brought them home in September (with many ups and downs in the process in between). We just can't say how many times the Lord answered prayers and moved mightily. Adam spent two weeks in the DR Congo and I flew in at the end in order for us to bring them home together. It was just an indescribable experience and we are both so glad we got to go and be there in their country and culture! Adam absolutely fell in love with the country and its people and sometimes I think he is still there. We officially adopted the girls here in the states just last week, so it is all official and we are done with the process. It is such a good feeling after being in that transition mode for almost 2 years.
People ask, "So how is it going now with 5?" And we have to say that, by God's grace, it is going much better than we ever could have dreamed – in regards to meshing as a family, bonding and overall transition. The Lord has been so kind! The girls have just fit right in. As far as noise, dirt, clutter, chaos, laundry, food consumption and just general craziness…well…that is off the chart. Here is a little "before dinner" video that I snapped of them a couple of nights ago. They can rock the house. Ha! But each one of them is precious and a delight and truly a blessing. We are so privileged and blessed to get to be a family together.
T turned 8 this year. He is the storyteller of the pack and has risen to the task of being the oldest in the family. He continues to be such a sweet little theologian and our black-and-white thinker. He is just such a precious gift…and always keeps us laughing (usually unintentionally)! M turned 6 and is our sensitive, intuitive little lady. She is so compassionate and caring of others. She is learning to be my big helper with household chores and with her little sisters. She is the one most gifted with languages and has become the interpreter for the girls language and accents. It is so hilarious and amazing how she can do it! When asked what she wanted to learn more about in the coming year, she said, "Being a mom…and more about the parts of the body." Buzzy turned 5 this year and is our lover of "anything that goes". He has said several times that he can't wait until he can watch his Uncle James work in his shop. He loves to help, jump on the trampoline, and build cars and boats with his Legos. He is my early riser and is often found down in the kitchen with me while others are still sleeping. He desperately wants to learn to read like T and M, so we have been continuing to work on that. Joy-Bubble is 5, just one month younger than Buzzy and is our happiest, most boisterous and dramatic family member. She loves to play dolls, help in the kitchen, color and keep up with her new siblings. Whenever we talk about Jesus, she lights up and smiles. Her new favorite song is Jesus Loves Me and Joy to the World. She is extremely motivated to learn and is picking up English well. The three older kids love to hear her stories of life in Congo, which are told in great detail and with much drama. Little Peanut is the precious new "baby" of the family. She is very quiet and the quickest and most willing helper in the house. She can often be found doing other's chores – which, of course, the other kids love. Ha! She can get away with just about anything with the other four kids – I guess it's in return for doing their chores. All the kids love music, books, swimming, riding bikes, and just playing together.
I continue to educate the kiddos at home. We are still trying to find our new groove with the addition of the girls. But before that we were immensely enjoying using many of the Simply Charlotte Mason methods and ideas. It was such a welcome relief from the burden of our prior curriculum. The kids were loving school and we were having a great time. I hope to find a new enjoyable schedule to begin the new year, though I am beginning to realize that we might never get back to the tight, neat little one we used to know. Ha! But I am so incredibly thankful that the kids get to be together during this transition time for our family. Adam is continually reminding me of the valuable things they are learning as a result of being home and not scattered in different directions all day. It is definitely funny and interesting how our philosophy of home education has changed since T was in Pre-K. It used to be academics all the way. Push! Push! Push! And now we realize how little the Lord has to say about academics and how much He has to say about learning to fear Him, love others, obey authority, work hard, develop Christ-like character qualities…all pretty much summed up in the first and second great commandments. I have been struck lately by the verse that says, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36). The Lord is teaching all of us valuable lessons!
Adam now works from home about four days a week…just another indescribable blessing for our family. It has provided me the opportunity to run errands (with only a few kids, rather than 5) or get out alone every once in a while…to run more errands. Ha! Even the support he provides by being up in his office, is really helpful. The kids love having him around and are sad when it's a day he has to actually go to work.
I continued to experience some health issues this past year. I experienced little relief from migraine headaches, even though I experimented with various drugs to try to help. I was told by one doctor that I had Lupus. I have yet to find the time to get a second opinion on that one. Ha! Though currently I am experiencing a flare-up of whatever it is that is wrong with me…zapping me of energy and causing a lot of fatigue and joint pain. Through it all, the Lord has been kind. Adam's ability to work from home has been a lifesaver, as well as a sweet girl that has helped us out for the past couple of months on a daily basis. And we have never been without the Lord's sustaining grace and strength through each trial. Many times I have just cried out (begging, actually…)for him to be strong amidst my weakness.
The Lord has blessed us immensely and so undeservedly and we have so much to be thankful for (and so far to go in having that thankful spirit all day, every day, in all circumstances, all the time…) He has provided truly everything we need and beyond. We give Him all praise and glory for His presence and love. The God-man Jesus…in the manger, as a grown man, on the cross and risen are the only reason we have hope in this season or any other. Blessings to you as you begin 2013 reflecting on our Savior's accomplished work on behalf of all who will believe.
Our sweet Christmas blessings from Africa
I have taken this annual Christmas tree photo since the kids first Christmas. And now this year, the train has grown with our two beautiful additions. (T – 8 years old, M – 6 years old, Little Buzzy – 5 years old, Joy-Bubble – 5 years old, Little Peanut – 3 years old)
And then there is dad, with his new sweeties…who love to snuggle and give kisses.

I'd guess that most people under 30 who know of Charles Nelson Reilly at all remember him as played by a leisure-suited, compulsively spectacle-tweaking Alec Baldwin on an SNL "Inside the Actors Studio" skit. The joke, as always, was that Will Ferrell's James Lipton was prostrating himself before a trashy, basically negligible career, one that, in this case, will largely be remembered on the strength of "Match Game" appearances, sharing Friars Club roast panels with Foster Brooks, and generally providing a reliable source of nudge-nudge feyness and snark when Paul Lynde was otherwise occupied (actual "Hollywood Squares" exchange--Peter Marsha...Read More »

It's with great disappointment I report that "Margot at the Wedding," Noah Baumbach's follow-up dramedy, is not only nowhere near as sharp as its predecessor, "The Squid and the Whale," but a failure in its own right. Leaving behind "Squid"'s relatable adolescent's-eye view on divorce for a hackneyed, adult-oriented dysfunctional family dynamic, and replacing "Squid"'s modest realism for incongruent deep-shadow gothic, "Margot" attempts more but really offers less. Inasmuch, Baumbach's weaknesses are devastatingly exposed--the compassion he once showed toward his neurotic characters, starting from his 1995 debut, "Kicking and Screaming," has ...Read More »
The term "return to form" may be overused, but it certainly applies to the Coen Brothers' new adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel "No Country for Old Men" -- in its visual economy, maddeningly beautiful symmetry, and eccentric mundanity the film is a reminder of why the Coens were initially tagged as wunderkinds. It's easy to derive pleasure from the Hitchcockian virtuosity of "No Country"'s mouse-trap set-ups, but the sweet surprise here is that Joel and Ethan Coen, genre vagabonds and occasional wise-asses who had been stuck in a rut as of late, have shot their latest film through with palpable, evocative melancholy and purpose. And have...Read More »
By the year 2015, any band that made the cover of NME in the Seventies will have been the subject of either a feature-length documentary (with commentary by Bono) or frontman biopic. As one to whom pop music and film both have both meant a great deal, I can't understand how this arrangement benefits either medium, but it's obvious there's money to be made, and so the process goes on. And if you've already forked out for your ticket to "Control" and you're still waiting on the Captain Sensible musical, you may as well take in a boogaloo eulogy to the Clash's dearly-departed Joe Strummer in the new doc "Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten" by...Read More »
The indie gay cinema movement in America was a necessary response not only to mainstream studio filmmaking but also to the hetero bias of other "alternative" cinema avenues; because of the outsider status of the films it was once difficult to too harshly criticize their narrative and aesthetic faults. The field was also narrow enough that there wasn't room for directors without a vision, or at least a technique, to slip in. Whatever their limitations, New Queer Cinema films (from Tom Kalin, Bill Sherwood, Gregg Araki, and so many more) were given deserved passes for the boldness of their inquiries. The torch has been passed, and with the ever...Read More »
"Darfur Now," Theodore Braun's infectiously optimistic, if perfunctorily realized, documentary about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan arrives in theaters at a crucial moment. While the civil war in that wartorn region rages unabated, demanding more international visibility, the wave that brought documentary film (and a host of media-silenced issues) to commercial prominence here in the U.S. seems to have crested.

William Gaddis's slim final novel, "Agape Agape," takes the form of a stream-of-consciousness rant delivered by a highly erudite narrator on his death bed that encompasses scattered memories, ruminations on late 19th and 20th century Western culture, and elderly grumblings about the experience of mortal decay. In just a little over one hundred pages Gaddis succeeds in not only creating a fully fleshed character without ever resorting to commonplaces like description and motivation, but also in conjuring an elegy for the very specific brand of omnivorous literacy his protagonist embodies--one it's easy to imagine the writer mourning while fini...Read More »
Likable yet bland, Ron Livingston has been cursed with an earnest, puppy dog face that, while charming, makes him hard to take seriously as a dramatic actor, or even an intriguing comic one. He's not untalented, just dull, and in that sense he's perfectly cast as the protagonist of "Music Within." This debut feature film by Steven Sawalich is an inspirational tale "based on a true story," and obediently follows that disclaimer's tried-and-true formula: some laughter, some tears, and a consistent distribution of valuable life lessons. In other words, it's terribly earnest and mostly forgettable. "Music Within" isn't wrongheaded in its portraya...Read More »

In Oh My Candy, it's your task to satisfy a chubby hamster's craving for sweets! Click on the block with a paw print and use it to push the candy to the hamster in each stage. The block with a paw print can't pass through areas with yellow and purple stripes, while candy and other movable objects can't pass through blue and pink striped areas.
Here's another Wheemplay game for your consumption. Most Wheemplay games are physics based, this one is no exception.
The aim of 'Oh My Candy' is to move various candy pieces from one area of the arena using various tools to move the candy to a chubby hamster, who promptly eats the candy. There are various tasks to perform to enable candy to be moved to the hamster using various tools such as moving pencils matter transporters, barriers, blocks etc. some objects are movable others are fixed.
Your task is to figure out the quickest route to get the candy to the hamsters mouth. Each of the 25 + levels are timed. At the end of each level a stats screen appears with the level time you attained, the total accumulated time so far for the game as well as the best time scored for that level. To the bottom left hand corner of the game arena are two buttons, the first is the settings where you can adjust various parameters, the second is to turn off the music. I'm sure most of you will find the music rather annoying after the first few minutes. I'd recommend you turn on your media player in the background and play some soothing music that will help you to concentrate on the various puzzle presented to you instead of listening to the in-game music. To the bottom right of the game arena are two more buttons, the first is a pause button, the second a restart level button. In between the two sets of buttons is a hint button. (I've posted links to some video walkthroughs below). The game starts in windowed mode by default, but you can play in full screen by clicking on the button to the top right of the window.
The overall look and feel of the game is better than the usual Wheemplay fare. The graphics are cutesy carton in style and will probably appeal to the younger members of your families.
There are loads of flash sites that have this game where you can play the game for free via your browser any time. There's even a players pack with more levels, but this isn't available with this version of the game. You'll find the browser version on loads of free to play flash game sites such as Kongregate
You can see video walkthroughs for this game HERE, HERE and HERE
There are more, but once you've seen one they all seem similar. On average the walkthroughs posted on you tube take around 9 to 10 minutes to work through all 25 + levels. (probably practiced the games before they videoed the, so unless you are an expert puzzle solver, you should get more out of this game. I've uploaded images for most of the levels which you can see HERE as a slideshow.
Actually 'Oh My Candy' is a better than average Wheemplay game, but IMO not worth the 0.99cents Wheemplay are asking because the 25 levels can be finished in les than 10 minutes. The game needs at least double the number of levels it has at present and if possible a levels editor would be an improvement so that users can create their own levels.
Personally I'd package this game with several other physics based Wheemplay games and sell it as a compendium of physics based puzzles.
I do think this would be a worthwhile addition to any families games library. Usefull tool to teach your children logical thinking.
Overall I'd give this game the following score:
Game play – 7
Graphics – 7
Music – 5
Replayability – 5
Originality – 5
Total = 29 out of 50 which equates to 5.8 out of 10
(not sure aboout this level as the level map says there's only 25 levels, yet this is numbered 27)

Similar Games to todays Gamegiveaway:
You can find loads of Hidden Object games for free over at MyPlayCity, and Gametop for example, Potion Bar (a previous giveaway), Jane Croft: The Baker Street Murder, hide and Secret, Spirit of Wandering, Natalie brooks: Secrets of Treasure house, Mystery of Unicorn Castle, Alices Magical Mahjong (yes this has hidden Object elements), Antique shop, Confectionary, Crossworlds – The flying city plus loads more.
however both sites do try to install toolbars and hijack your browser, but for MyPlayCity it is avoidable by making sure you uncheck the check-boxes when installing the games though I've not checked Gametop for some time as they had become quite aggressive the last time I tried. In the case of MyPlayCity games; every time you start the game those check-boxes will be presented to you, so make sure you uncheck them, otherwise you'll be the proud owner of a MyPlayCity/Ask tool bar and you'll have to fiddle around to change your browsers home page back to whatever you have it set to. MyPlayCity do have a fantastic choice of arcade games, so although those things are an annoyance, I think it's still worth the effort, especially if you can't afford to purchase the games.

A Request for help:
Developers rely on good feedback to improve their games. If you download this game please take some time once you've played it a while to leave some constructive feedback either positive or negative. The more constructive feedback we get, the more likely developers are going to give more games away. The giveaway site already has a very good standing with the search engines. Developers want their products out there on the WWW, this site has the potential to do that. The game giveaway project gives away on average between 9 to 17 thousand downloads for each game depending upon what genre and how obscure the game is. That's a lot of homes these games are being downloaded into and a lot of 'potential' cash that's being lost by the developers. If we get better games because of better feedback, the community are likely to continue to benefit from the generosity of the developers. Satisfied community members are then more likely to visit the home sites of those developers and purchase games that they may not have bothered with before they discovered the developer via the game giveaway site, thus giving the developers more incentives to give away even more decent games.
Please leave some feedback once you've checked the game out. It can be positive or negative, but please explain what your reasons were for the feedback you post. You could also leave suggestions for improving the game, for example, this game could do with more block types for the levels editor, add more power-ups, describing the ones you think would be suitable, add some mini games (which seem all the rage in some arcade games now) or enable the user to be able to change the in game music easily.
Thank you in advance to all those who take the time to post a constructive comment.

No. If any government had any moral conscience, they would ban cigarettes tomorrow. Can anyone give me the name of a government anywhere on this planet with a moral conscience
This is not cynicism, it's called rationale: With a couple of kilos of commonsense, a dash of intelligence, a sprinkling of humour and over 50 years study at the University of Life.
At some point in life my parents stopped feeding me and I started paying my own way, first with the family's allowance then with my own money. The cost of life has multiplied since then manyfold but this is almost entirely due to government taxes and levvies.
The milkman, the butcher, the pet shop from which we buy budgies are not responsible for any of the price increases (or, if so, in a minute way !).
The excuses are always lies, such as the barren land left by the "previous government" (all types of "previous government"), the "new road towards socialism" and also the "modernization of the state".
You're falling into the trap of saying that because *you* don't like something it should be taxed - not a basis for a fair taxation system.
I have already said that it's fair for ciggies to be taxed for the potential costs to the NHS for smokers - have no problem with that at all, what I *do* have a problem with is the government using ciggies/petrol/pasty tax as an income stream and not being honest about it.
<<Should smokers need a licence...>>
Don't be silly
Sure license smoking, take a test to see whether you can afford to do it, and have enough money to pay for the consequences for the next twenty five years. Baby making should be licensed for the same reasons.
Its works because if smokers having the license for buying cigarettes so the childrens which are under 16 years cant able to buy cigarettes and its good for him.

Trial Lawyers With Experience
- Since 1975 people throughout the state of Georgia have come to 215 N. McDonough Street, Decatur to get sound legal advice and representation. Mike Maloof and his son Michael Maloof Jr. provide compassionate and professional legal services to clients charged with crimes and clients who have sustained serious injuries.
Our criminal defense practice runs the gamut from federal conspiracy trials to hearings in municipal courts; murder cases to misdemeanor batteries; drug cases where the defendant is alleged to have distributed hundreds of kilos of cocaine to misdemeanor marijuana charges involving just a few grams. We know that every case is important to our clients. A truck driver with a commercial driver's license facing traffic charges can be exposed to a dramatic change in lifestyle if convicted. Any client facing incarceration needs an aggressive and competent defense.
- The Maloofs have professional working relationships with prosecutors throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. They are or have been members of the Georgia Bar Association, the DeKalb Bar Association, the educational election committee for GACDL, the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the American Bar Association. Mike Maloof Sr. has been designated one of Georgia's Super Lawyers by Atlanta magazine 10 of the last 11 years. He is also a member of Georgia's Legal Elite. Mike Maloof and Mike Maloof Jr. have AV ratings with Martindale Hubbell, the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards.
- The Maloof family has a long history in Atlanta, Georgia. Manuel Maloof served as head of the DeKalb County government for three consecutive terms after first serving as a commissioner. A wing of Grady Hospital is dedicated to him as testament to his history of fighting for medical assistance for the indigent. On more than one occasion he received accolades as best local public servant in the state of Georgia. All this from a man with a high school education who developed his notoriety as the owner of Manuel's Tavern , which evolved into a favorite meeting place for politicians, reporters and writers in the late 1950s.
- Manuel Maloof instilled in his son and grandson the importance of honest and moral treatment of others. This philosophy carries over into our legal practice where we come to the aid of those clients that are facing the powers of local, state and federal governments. Whether it be a police officer overstepping legal authority while conducting a search, an insurance company trying to deny an injured person just compensation or a noncitizen being denied the process by an immigration officer, we are ready to fight for our clients. Our law firm understands that merely being charged with a crime or suffering a serious injury can be traumatizing. The legal system can be overwhelming and intimidating. If you have a serious legal matter, please contact our office for consultation.

School Bullies – Is the Amygdala to Blame?by Melissa E. Malka, BSc | November 17, 2008
Countless studies have focused on the subject of bullying, and the latest even suggest an interesting paradox: is bullying caused by a lack of empathy for others or, surprisingly, by too much empathy? Because, although all of us react in some way to seeing others in pain, we don't all react in the same way. Scientists are asking, could an empathic response to others in pain cause enough emotional distress in some adolescents to actually cause them to respond aggressively? Here lie the two big hypotheses and they're rather contradictory.
A recently published University of Chicago study tested the response from two different groups of adolescents to viewing others in pain. One group had been previously diagnosed with CD, a mental disorder associated with increased risk of incarceration, injury, depression, homicide, and an overall disregard for rules and laws; the other group was an asymptomatic control group. The teens were exposed to various stimuli, which showed individuals in accidental pain and individuals in pain that was intentionally caused by another, in a functional MRI (fMRI) scanner.
The results of the fMRI testing showed that in both groups, the "pain matrix" was selectively activated during the accidental sequences. But, the patterns of activation during the pain-caused-by-other sequences varied significantly between the two groups. Three specific regions, the amygdala, striatum, and temporal poles were activated in the aggressive group, but not the control. Contrary to previous studies, bullies may actually exhibit a greater than average neural response to those in pain.
As for the amygdala, a crucial player in the formation of emotional reactions, its degree of activation was positively correlated to the number of aggressive acts of the participants in the study leading scientists think to that the activity in the amygdala, coupled with the striatum, creates a positive response for those aggressive youth: pleasure.
The researchers called this finding "intriguing" but we're still far from understanding the complex nature of aggressive responses and why bullies bully. At least we know violent TV isn't all to blame.
J DECETY, K MICHALSKA, Y AKITSUKI, B LAHEY (2008). Atypical empathic responses in adolescents with aggressive conduct disorder: A functional MRI investigation Biological Psychology DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2008.09.004

Valero: The Refiner To Weather The Oil Price StormBryan Thomas • Thu, Nov. 20 • 12 Comments
- Investors are looking for good stocks to weather the oil price storm and Valero is a good pick for this purpose.
- When compared to its competitors, Valero competes well with comparable fundamental metrics and is significantly undervalued when compared to its peers.
- Tesoro, Marathon, and Phillips 66 all represent good investments but Valero is a better play for those looking for a value buy.

Valero Energy: 20% Annual Dividend Growth Remains Very PossibleStock Gamer • Mon, Nov. 10 • 2 Comments
- Valero can continue to maintain annual dividend growth at around 20% owing to its healthy cash flow growth prospect and currently low payout level.

- Even with very conservative assumptions, my base case demonstrates that the annual dividend growth can still land at around 13% over the next few years.

- One part of the sector bucking that trend is the refinery space which is reporting better-than-expected results and showing improving margins on feedstock price decreases.

- A change in policies regarding the use of ethanol might result in lower demand and increased supply, which will bring down the prices and margins.

A Banner 24 Hours For ValeroBret Jensen • Wed, Jul. 30 • 17 Comments
- Valero has had a very tough month, declining some 15% due to a Commerce Department decision on oil exports and somewhat reduced guidance.
- However, the Commerce Department has just put that decision on "hold", and the company just delivered a very solid earnings report and increased its dividend payout.
- The shares look cheap here and I look for North America's largest refiner to recapture a good portion of its recent decline.

Would Crude Exports Mean The End For Refiners' Moats?Morningstar • Fri, Sep. 12 • 4 Comments
Fri, Nov. 21, 6:45 PM
- Ethanol and other biofuel groups are declaring victory, as the EPA today said a decision to finalize blending requirements for 2014 - first proposed more than a year ago - has been delayed.
- The delay gives hope to ethanol producers that the EPA will rethink how it proposes the annual biofuels levels; the draft 2014 biofuels levels were much lower than the ethanol industry wanted.
- Oil company lobbyists opposed to the law say the idea of setting a retroactive quota shows the EPA is incapable of managing the program; the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which represents energy companies, plans to sue the EPA for failing to issue the 2014 requirements.

Wed, Nov. 12, 12:19 PM
- Refiners have outperformed while most energy peers have struggled lately, and the Cowen energy analyst team is keeping a positive view on the refining sector due to solid underlying earnings potential and the developing theme of logistics growth.
- Cowen likes Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) for the possibility for meaningful EBITDA growth driven by the Carson refinery acquired earlier this year and eventually through TSO's Port of Vancouver crude logistics project, and sees Valero (NYSE:VLO) as well positioned to benefit from the ongoing infrastructure debottlenecking of inland crude oil supply in 2014 and beyond.
- The firm also sees 30%-40% stock price upside for Outperform-rated Delek US Holdings (NYSE:DK), Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), Western Refining (NYSE:WNR) and PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF).
Fri, Nov. 7, 2:58 AM
- Despite a confirmation from both Venezuela's president and finance minister this past month saying that Citgo will not sell its U.S. refining unit, potential buyers have recently visited its refinery in Illinois and have shown interest in its Texas unit, Reuters reports.
- It is unclear if Citgo's owner, Venezuelan national oil company PDVSA, will go ahead with a sale, but Lazard, the investment bank hired by Citgo to carry out the sale, is still marketing the refinery.
- Potential bidders include, Reliance Industries (OTC:RLNIY), PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF), Tesoro (NYSE:TSO), Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), Koch Industries and Chevron (NYSE:CVX).
Tue, Nov. 4, 9:09 AM
- Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) +1.3% premarket after Q3 earnings and revenues beat Wall Street expectations, as VLO's refining segment reported higher volumes and operating income.
- Q3 refining throughput volumes averaged 2.8M bbl/day, an increase of 42K bbl/day from the year-ago quarter, due primarily to less turnaround activity and higher throughput capacity utilization.
- Refining operating income rose to $1.66B from $600M in the same quarter a year ago.
- The ethanol segment's operating income increased to $198M from $113M, boosted by higher margins related to lower corn costs and increased volumes.
- Expects 2014 capex, including turnarounds and catalyst, to be about $2.9B. More than 50% of the planned growth investments will be used to strengthen and expand the company's logistics system.
- Q3 results
Tue, Nov. 4, 7:42 AM
- Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO): Q3 EPS of $2.00 beats by $0.43.
- Revenue of $34.4B (-4.8% Y/Y) beats by $2.82B.
- Shares +1.71% PM.
- Press Release
Mon, Oct. 27, 9:44 AM
- Venezuela is canceling plans to sell its Citgo U.S. refining unit, the country's finance minister says, apparently the victim of falling oil prices, declining refining margins, and unscheduled downtime among Citgo's refineries.
- Venezuelan officials indicated earlier this year that they were looking to sell Citgo for as much as $10B, and HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC), Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO), Western Refining (NYSE:WNR), Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) and PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF) were speculated as potential bidders for Citgo's three U.S. refineries.
- Analysts at the risk consultancy Eurasia Group recently warned that a sale of Citgo would leave fewer assets for investors to target if Venezuela defaults.
Thu, Oct. 23, 8:47 AM
- Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) declares $0.275/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous.
- Forward yield 2.29%
- Payable Dec. 17; for shareholders of record Nov. 19; ex-div Nov. 17.
Tue, Oct. 14, 6:57 PM
- Refiners implore Pres. Obama to remain firm on plans to scale back renewable fuel quotas for 2014, warning that if the administration gives in to Corn Belt demands for higher mandates, it could cause gasoline prices to spike.
- The EPA last year proposed cutting the amount of renewable fuel required for 2014 to 15.2B gallons, ~3B gallons below the amount prescribed in federal statutes, including up to 13B gallons from traditional corn-based ethanol and 2.2B gallons of advanced biofuels.
- But administration officials have hinted they could boost the final targets, justified in part because gasoline consumption has also risen since the proposal was first unveiled last year.
- Among signers of a letter to Obama were Valero (NYSE:VLO) CEO Joseph Gorder and Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) CEO Gregory Goff.
Thu, Oct. 9, 2:57 PM
- J.P. Morgan has a favorable outlook on the refining sector heading into Q3 earnings, as the group has sold off since September on a combination of factors, including fears about the crude export ban being lifted and narrowing crude differentials, despite good product cracks.
- Two of the biggest drops among refiners have been suffered by Valero Energy (VLO -2.7%) and HollyFrontier (HFC -2.6%), each ~13% since the group's peak; of the two, JPM likes VLO going into the quarter, particularly in the event of any favorable updates around capital allocation.
- The firm thinks Tesoro (TSO -3.2%) is set up for another solid quarter but that investors must be expecting it, given that shares are down only ~3%.
Tue, Oct. 7, 3:23 PM
- Amid today's sea of red in stocks, oil refinery names are enjoying gains thanks to a bullish note from Citi analyst Faisel Khan, who upgraded the sector along with some individual refiner stocks, including Phillips 66 (PSX +0.7%) and HollyFrontier (HFC +1%).
- Khan says PSX is positioning itself to become the "premier hydrocarbon logistics provider on the Gulf Coast," and he sees the refiner's midstream assets generating $2.3B in EBITDA by 2018; Khan upgrades shares to Buy from Neutral.
- HFC also is upgraded to Buy from Neutral by Khan, who thinks HFC's balance sheet should allow it to pursue various acquisitions and that it has the mechanisms in place to generate $700M-$800M in discretionary cash flow over the next two years.
- Khan also upgraded CVR Refining (CVRR +0.8%) and Alon USA Partners (ALDW +5%) to Buy, raised his price target for Marathon Petroleum (MPC +0.6%) and reiterated his positive outlook for Valero Energy (VLO +1%).
Thu, Oct. 2, 2:48 PM
- RBC Capital Markets' energy analyst Brad Heffer names Marathon Petroleum (MPC -1.3%) as his top pick, and starts coverage of Tesoro (TSO -0.5%) and Valero (VLO -0.4%) at Outperform, but the stocks are lower as oil prices tumble again.
- Heffer says MPC's refinery portfolio is well positioned, with leverage to both cheap inland crude in the Midwest and Gulf coast export markets, and the recent Hess acquisition presents a big opportunity to increase retail value going forward; MPC is still early in the drop-down cycle, and it will continue to provide shareholders with solid cash returns going forward.
- TSO is a strong operator in a tough California market, RBC says, who expects synergies from the BP acquisition to continue to improve margins, while VLO is the refiner best positioned to take advantage of Gulf Coast crude spreads, which the firm sees widening substantially in H2 2015 and into 2016.
- Phillips 66 (PSX -1.7%) and HollyFrontier (HFC -0.7%) are rated Sector Perform.
Fri, Sep. 19, 4:51 PM
- Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) has put its Torrance, Calif., refinery up for sale, Reuters reports, making it the latest big oil company to consider exiting the state amid tougher environmental standards.
- The 155K bbl/day refinery, in the south part of Los Angeles, is XOM's only refinery in California and the second smallest of its half-dozen U.S. plants.
- XOM may have some trouble making a sale, however, because of the state's environmental regulations and since several refiners including Chevron (NYSE:CVX), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) and Valero (NYSE:VLO) already operate two or more refineries there, limiting their ability to buy others.
Wed, Sep. 10, 3:28 PM
- Energy stocks, especially refiners, are taking a beating following the latest EIA inventory report that said gasoline stockpiles rose by 2.4M barrels last week, helping send U.S. crude oil futures to 16-month lows (-1.2% to $91.61/bbl) and Brent crude to 17-month lows (-1.1% to $98.02).
- The report is bearish given the large increases in refined product inventories; "even though the crude drawdown was close to expectations, it seemed to disappoint," Again Capital's John Kilduff says.
- The EIA report followed the agency's updated demand growth report issued yesterday and this morning's release of OPEC's report on the oil market; both see lower demand growth this year and next.
- Oil majors are mostly lower: XOM -0.6%, CVX -1.4%, COP -0.3%, but BP (+2.9%) and RDS.A (+1%) are higher.
- Refiners are hit hard: VLO -3.6%, PSX -1.5%, MPC -1.9%, HFC -2.5%, TSO -2.9%, WNR -4.1%, CVI -1.6%, ALJ -1.8%, PBF -3.5%, DK -1.8%, CLMT -1.8%.
- ETFs: USO, XLE, OIL, UCO, ERX, VDE, OIH, SCO, ERY, XOP, DIG, BNO, UGA, DTO, DBO, DUG, IYE, IEO, CRUD, PXE, USL, PXI, PXJ, DBE, FENY, UWTI, DWTI, DNO, RJN, RYE, FXN, SZO, OLO, JJE, DDG, ONG, RGRE, OLEM, TWTI, UBN
Tue, Sep. 9, 6:52 PM
- Venezuela's PDVSA reportedly is seeking preliminary offers for its U.S. unit Citgo Petroleum by the end of September, a deal that could fetch up to $10B.
- Lazard is running the sale process for Citgo on behalf of PDVSA and is said to have sent offering materials to potential buyers; Deutsche Bank is separately exploring a sale of PDVSA's 50% stake in the Chalmette refinery in Louisiana it owns alongside Exxon.
- HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC), Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO), Western Refining (NYSE:WNR), Tesoro (NYSE:TSO) and PBF Energy (NYSE:PBF) are speculated as logical bidders for Citgo's U.S. refineries in Lemont, Ill.; Lake Charles, La.; and Corpus Christi, Tex.
Fri, Aug. 29, 9:10 AM
- Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) has restarted production at a corn ethanol plant in Indiana that was shuttered more than two years ago by its previous owner.
- VLO bought the plant in March from Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings for $34M, boosting the number of its ethanol plants to 11.
- The plant is expected to boost VLO's ethanol production to 1.3B gallons/year, putting it behind only Archer Daniels Midland and Poet LLC in ethanol production.

Tip of the Day - Fake The Opposite Way Against Left-Handers
Fake The Opposite Way Against Left-Handers
Many players have trouble playing left-handers – they simply aren't used to them. (Left-handers have this trouble as well – they too play mostly against right-handers!) Because a player's instincts are often wrong against a lefty, many players often end up feeding the lefty's stronger side.
Here's a simple tip that will disarm many lefty attacks. Start off most shots by "aiming" toward the lefty's stronger side. At the last minute, go the other way. This forces the lefty to guard that side, leaving the other side open.
This is a basic strategy that works against righty's and lefty's, but it is particularly effective against lefty's since it helps make up for not being used to playing them.

Fabulous Luxury
By Pritchly
from Herefordshire
About Me Midrange Shopper
I've already purchased these sheets in the past and always found them to wash well with very little ironing if any and so soft and comfortable next to the skin. Can't fault Dorma for this particular bedding. Just bought another set for spare bed and they look great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Plain White Sheet
By OAP
from Lincs
I've always used Dorma bedding, believing it to be the best. However, I'm not sure this particular range irons as well as others I've had over the years. I've only laundered it once so far, so I shall have to see whether it was a case of being just a little too dry for ironing last time.
