Lincoln Financial Field available for your special occasion
February 11, 2011
Your wedding inside the Linc? Why not? The Eagles announced yesterday that Lincoln Financial Field will be available to host special events, such as corporate events, banquets, trade shows, product launches and even weddings. Since its opening in 2003, the stadium has been available for only a small number of events each year, mostly for charitable causes. The Eagles said areas from the 45,000-square foot SCA Club to the locker room could be set up for specific events.
Eagles unveil plans for Lincoln Financial Field renovation
June 10, 2013
By Zach Berman, Inquirer Staff Writer
After 10 seasons at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles are investing $125 million to renovate the stadium during the next two years. The privately financed project will include a seating expansion, two new high-definition video boards, upgraded amenities, WiFi installation, imagery of great moments and players throughout team history, and two new connecting bridges for the upper concourses. The project was started in 2010 and has included research of season-ticket holders, the season-ticket advisory board, and focus groups of fans, as well as surveying architectural firms that have built stadiums since Lincoln Financial Field opened.
Philadelphia Eagles green: Lincoln Financial Field generating energy with solar panels, turbines
April 16, 2013
By Sandy Bauers, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Eagles' newest player is a real powerhouse. The stats are electrifying: On a recent sunny day, this bulky unit churned out 21,033.7 kilowatt hours, nearly enough to power two average homes for a year. Yes, the long-awaited solar panels and wind turbines at Lincoln Financial Field are up and running. More than 11,000 panels have been positioned atop the roof, over some of the parking spots, and armoring the side of the building along I-95. Those are the workhorses.
$25M in HDTV displays coming to Lincoln Financial Field
January 31, 2014
By Bob Fernandez, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Eagles are bringing some of the living room to Lincoln Financial Field. As part of its $125 million revitalization of the stadium, team officials said Wednesday, they are putting $25 million worth of high-definition TV displays, including two huge video walls in both end zones, into the 11-year-old stadium. The team also will install 2,000 linear feet of digital "ribbon boards" between seating levels for out-of-town NFL scores and fantasy football statistics, and 1,200 wall-mounted TVs on the concourses and other areas.
Eagles show off renovations to Lincoln Financial Field
July 28, 2014
BY ANDREW ALBERT, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
IN FEBRUARY 2012, the Eagles started the process of revitalizing Lincoln Financial Field to give fans a better in game experience. More than 2 1/2 years and $125 million later, the renovations are "99 percent complete," according to team president Don Smolenski. All of the work will be done before the Eagles' home opener on Sept. 7 against Jacksonville. The in-game experience at the Linc, which opened in 2003, will be much more modern, an upgrade that was much needed, Smolenski said.
Rutgers bringing some South Jersey flavor to Lincoln Financial Field
October 19, 2012
By Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers junior cornerback Logan Ryan said that he bled Eagles green while attending Eastern High in Voorhees, and that is another reason Saturday's game at Lincoln Financial Field against Temple will have a special significance. It's not just because Rutgers (6-0, 3-0 Big East) and Temple (3-2, 2-0) are unbeaten in conference play. It's also because Ryan has seen his share of football at the Linc. "It's going to be a dream come true," Ryan said about playing at the Eagles stadium.
All indications say Owls will nest with Eagles The deal is not official yet, but it looks as if Temple football will be played at Lincoln Financial Field.
July 23, 2003
By Phil Sheridan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The Temple Owls have their own locker room, complete with cherry-red metal lockers, at Lincoln Financial Field. Temple's 2003 schedule scrolled on the electronic boards during a media open house at the new stadium yesterday. Yes, it looks as if the Owls will play their home football games at the Eagles' new stadium after all. The two sides have agreed to the basics of a deal, a source familiar with the negotiations said. There were some details to work out, and they are holding up an announcement, but it would be a shock if Temple played its games anywhere else this year.
Bid committee contacts Eagles about using Lincoln Financial Field for World Cup games
April 9, 2009
Staff and Wire Reports
The U.S. bid committee hoping to stage the World Cup in 2018 or 2022 sent initial letters last week to public officials and stadium operators of 70 potential sites in 50 markets for soccer's showcase tournament. Among those contacted was Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles' interest in hosting matches is unclear, but the stadium has been used for international soccer events in the past and will host a CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal doubleheader July 18. Six of the stadiums used for the 1994 tournament were contacted, including Soldier Field in Chicago; the Cotton Bowl in Dallas; the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando; the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Inter Milan tops AS Roma, 2-0, at Lincoln Financial Field
August 4, 2014
By Tim McManus, Inquirer Staff Writer
AS Roma made itself at home in Philadelphia this past week while Inter Milan camped in Washington. The Giallorossi climbed the Art Museum steps and posed like Rocky. They held semisecret training sessions just off the Schuylkill Expressway at Penn's Rhodes Field. Charismatic manager Rudi Garcia held court at the Ritz- Carlton. The home advantage, however, did not extend to game day. Inter spoiled the party with a 2-0 victory in front of 12,169 at Lincoln Financial Field. The barnstorming clubs from Italy's Serie A met as part of the International Champions Cup. Both teams were eliminated from the tournament later in the day when Manchester United beat Real Madrid.
Building a Linc: Eagles in 10th season at Lincoln Financial Field
December 19, 2012
BY ED BARKOWITZ, Daily News Staff Writer
THEY HELD a soccer match at Lincoln Financial Field a few weeks before the first Eagles game in 2003. In the restaurant business, this would be called a soft opening. Don Smolenski, who was the Eagles CFO at the time, and team president Joe Banner headed out into the concourse to check things out. They discovered a rather sizable problem that showed why soft openings are a good idea. "For the soccer game, we realized that our signage was confusing," recalled Smolenski, now the team's president.

Eagles rookie Matthews breaks free in blowout win
November 12, 2014
By Jeff McLane, Inquirer Staff Writer
For weeks, the reports about Jordan Matthews in training camp were breathless. It was hard for sportswriters to catch themselves from overhyping a rookie wide receiver who hadn't even faced NFL competition and was still running with the second-team offense. But Matthews had his second-team quarterback throwing to him for the first full game of this season on Monday night, and with Mark Sanchez on the passing end, the rookie receiver had a breakout performance in the Eagles' 45-21 shellacking of the Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field.
Eagles' defense shows its teeth
November 11, 2014
By Marcus Hayes, Daily News Staff Writer
MUFASA COULD not have been prouder of his pride. Mufasa is, and will forever be, the glorious alias of charismatic inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans. For the past three seasons, as the other 10 players around him faltered or improved or lost their jobs, Ryans was a consistent beacon of maturity, of consistency, of toughness and intelligence; a professional's professional, a leader of the finest cut. Last week in Houston, Ryans ruptured his Achilles' tendon. He did it while making a play - while intercepting a pass, in fact, in the red zone.
Maclin bet on himself, and so far he's winning
November 11, 2014
By Bob Ford, Inquirer Columnist
There was that moment in the Eagles' third preseason game when Jeremy Maclin took off from the line of scrimmage, ran 10 yards downfield, started a cut to the inside, and something went awry with his right knee. It locked as he planted, and Maclin fell and grabbed at the knee as the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field went quiet. He said later that nothing aside from the pain was going through his mind, but the rest of the stadium was thinking that a man who had two previous anterior cruciate ligament tears and had bet heavily against a third might have made the wrong decision.
Owls gear up for No. 21 East Carolina
November 1, 2014
BY MIKE KERN, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
TEMPLE WON four of its first five games, against mostly not-so-good teams. The Owls then dropped two straight, both on the road, against some better competition. The good news is, three of their next four are at home. But they all are against opponents with records above .500, beginning tomorrow afternoon against No. 21 East Carolina (6-1, 3-0) at Lincoln Financial Field. When you're coming off a 2-10 season, it's easier to lose perspective. The reality is, they should have won more games in 2013.
Acho brothers find themselves on opposing sides for the first time

BY JAKE KAPLAN, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com
TOMORROW afternoon, Sonny and Christie Acho will occupy the same seats they always do when they attend Arizona Cardinals' home games, in the players' family section at University of Phoenix Stadium. They shouldn't prove difficult to spot. Just look for the only parents wearing midnight green and Cardinals red. "I haven't decided [what to wear], but definitely the Eagles will be represented, maybe in the shirt and Arizona maybe in the hat," Sonny Acho said by phone the other night.
Raheem Brock, Dan Klecko entering Temple Hall of Fame
October 10, 2014
BY MIKE KERN, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
RAHEEM BROCK (Dobbins Tech) and Dan Klecko were teammates on the defensive line at Temple for a couple of seasons at the turn of the century, and then again with an Indianapolis Colts team in 2006 that won the Super Bowl. So now maybe it's only right that they're part of the six-person class being inducted into the university's Athletics Hall of Fame, a group that also includes the late football coach Ray Morrison (1940-48). They'll be introduced - along with field hockey's Michelle Murawski (1997-2000)
Temple unveils renovated academic support center
October 1, 2014
By John N. Mitchell, Inquirer Staff Writer
As part of its effort to improve the student-athlete experience, Temple unveiled the newly renovated Nancy and Donald Resnick Academic Support Center on Monday. The university began renovating the center in August. Located on the ground floor at McGonigle Hall, the area houses six private student services rooms for tutoring, peer mentoring and private study; 10 new offices for advisers and learning specialists; an expanded computer lab with 36 computers; and a seating capacity that has gone from 34 to approximately 100. "This is very important for our student-athletes," athletic director Kevin Clark said.
Peters is too valuable to be throwing punches
September 25, 2014
By Mike Sielski, Inquirer Columnist
Jason Peters slipped on sweatpants and a tarpaulin-size green T-shirt Tuesday, then turned to face the group of reporters who had gathered at his locker. Next to him, DeMeco Ryans had dressed and was stepping away from the scrum, making for the door, as he said to Peters, "Got to answer the question, buddy. " Peters did. He'll forever be a folk hero around here for what he did Sunday, for seeing Washington nose tackle Chris Baker flatten Nick Foles with a gratuitous blindside hit to the ribs and for reacting as he did: chugging 10 yards to Baker and sending a right hand toward his head.
DeSean dazzles but exits with a loss
September 23, 2014
By Bob Brookover, Inquirer Columnist
The actions and reactions were every bit as boisterous as anticipated. It was great theater with the kind of better-than-fiction plots that professional sports so often provide. After it was over, however, DeSean Jackson was subdued. He was not leaving Lincoln Financial Field with the one thing he had hoped for. "I think it was a great game," Jackson said in what was an exact description of the Eagles' wild, 37-34 win over the wide receiver's new football team from Washington. "Credit to the other team.
Temple will be well-prepared for Delaware State
September 17, 2014
By John N. Mitchell, Inquirer Staff Writer
Although there was no game on the schedule last week for the Temple Owls, little changed about their preparation. They practiced all last week as if they had a game, and on Monday they turned their attention to Saturday's opponent, Delaware State, at Lincoln Financial Field. "We spent the open week really just trying to get better and prepare for Delaware State," Temple coach Matt Rhule said. "We are focused on playing a good football team. " Temple (1-1) looks to bounce back after a 31-24 loss to Navy in its home opener on Sept.

Fleet Feet Welcomes Record Number to Annual Winter Conference
Fleet Feet Sports and Balega International Partner to Assist African School
CARRBORO, NC - (DECEMBER 17, 2007) - Fleet Feet, Incorporated, the nation's leading franchisor of running specialty stores, and Balega International, a manufacturer of technical running socks, have a partnership that goes beyond that of retailer and supplier. Over the past two years, the companies have joined forces to raise funds in support of a South African school for physically disabled and visually impaired children. Their joint efforts raised enough money in 2007 to purchase a much needed handicapped-accessible bus for the school.
Balega is an international company with roots in South Africa. While headquartered in theU.S., Balega develops and manufactures its socks at its Cape Town, South Africa, production facility. Balega supports theEthembeni School, located in rural KwaZulu Natal, as a way to give back to the South African communities on which it relies.
In 2006, Balega invited Fleet Feet to become its partner in the Lesedi Project, a fundraising initiative for the school. Balega recognized that Fleet Feet's commitment to building communities and to giving back made it a natural partner for the project.
In addition to making corporate contributions, Fleet Feet Sports stores sell beadwork produced by Ethembeni students and a CD of South African music, and hold special events to benefit the school.
Fleet Feet Sports in Carrboro, North Carolinahas taken a special interest in the Lesedi Project. As winners of the 2007 InDuna Award,presented annually by Balega in recognition of community-based charitable contributions, store owners Rona Van Willigen and Bobby Biles have become drivers for the project within the national Fleet Feet organization. Earlier this year they traveled to South Africa to present the Ethembeni School with a check for funds raised by Fleet Feet stores, and they have played an active role in bringing the stores together to raise money for the purchase of the bus.
Balega and Fleet Feet brought in additional industry vendors as well, receiving support from Descente and Superfeet. "It is a great privilege for all of us at Balega to be part of an industry which shows such great generosity of spirit and which continually inspires us to redouble our fundraising efforts," says Balega CEO Russell Clark.
Fleet Feet, Incorporated CEO Tom Raynor and President Jeff Phillips recently traveled to South Africa with representatives of Balega to present the bus to the school. Headmaster A.A. Mouton describes the reaction of the children upon seeing the bus: "They cannot believe that this wonderfully decorated, brand new bus is for them. This donation has instilled in them, a wonderful sense of pride towards themselves and their school. There is such excitement in the air--they cannot wait to go on their next outing!"
According to Jeff Phillips, "there is a synergy between Fleet Feet and Balega that goes beyond our business relationship that has enabled us to accomplish something tangible and meaningful for the children of Ethembeni. It has been tremendously rewarding to work together towards this goal."
Fleet Feet, Inc. Launches Branding Campaign
FitlosophyTM is much more than a process or procedure. It's a way of doing business, and it's why our customers keep coming back," says Fleet Feet, Incorporated President Jeff Phillips. "We don't just deliver the right footwear fit, but we help our customers find the right bra fit, apparel fit, training plan, heart rate monitor….everything we do as specialty retailers is about finding the right fit for our customers. FitlosophyTM is a just new way to communicate to the market what we've been doing all along."
The FitlosophyTM campaign features POS kits, brochures, counter signage, cards, and window decals, which will be in Fleet Feet Sports stores across the country beginning in September.

MBTA seeks long-term fix to squeaky-wheel conundrum
Jul. 21, 2010
MBTA officials said this week they'll continue to seek a solution to the screeching wheels on the Mattapan Line trolley as the transportation agency's chief promised residents a "station master" they can complain to about matters at the still-under-construction Ashmont Station. After a Tuesday night meeting at All Saints Church, elected officials and abutters to the station, after years of frustration over the squealing of the wheels as the 70-year-old trolleys round the turn atop a viaduct, said they were optimistic that a solution could be found.

Chun (Spring) restaurant, Shanghai.
- PeterL Mar 16, 2009 07:54 AM
Anyone been? Here is a WSJ article on Chun (Spring) restaurant in Shanghai. We plan to be in Shanghai later this year and would like to go here.
re: e_ting
I rate Jesse as the restaurant with 2 nd best Shanghaiese food we've been in Shanghai. We have never gotten in without reservations. Service is not in the same class as hotel restaurants.
I would rate XinJiShi well below Jesse. In XinTianDi area, DiYuan (Butterfly Garden) offers better food , service and plainer decor at lower cost .
The best Shanghaiese food we had was at Fu1088 (Luck1088) . Although the 300 rmb/person minimum would be well over twice the cost at Jesse., without matching service.
`Subjectively, meals at Jesse is a better value than Fu1088.
re: catraveller1
oops, yes i meant jesse (as in jishi), not the numerous xinjishis
i went to Chun once and it was both packed and not all that welcoming...so i went to the similarly sized restaurant next door (i forget whether it was to the right or left) and it was great...the owner was super friendly, found a seat for me (as solo diner), and gamely helped translate the menu with the help of my Mandarin phrasebook...so while i've heard good reports on Chun, consider the next door option too...
Yes, very good value and worth the reservation to get in.
Jesse also excellent... Make sure you preorder the fish with onion oil - can't remember the exact name...
I'll add anther vote for Jesse (Ji Shi on Taiping Lu, not one of the Xinjishi spinoffs), Their red-cooked pork belly is considered best in town, and I couldn't argue with that I have yet to try Chun (may do so in April) but have heard many positive things about it.
I will be headed back to Shanghai in a bit over a month. On my first visit, I was not able to secure a last minute booking to Chun (Spring). Do you all think that this is still a great choice for someone with only three nights in the city and who has no Chinese language skills?
Which place, Spring, or the original Ji Shi, would be more welcoming to language-challenged outsiders? Can I get a few more details about both spots? I am asking now because from what I read, advance booking is required for both restaurants.
(I would like to concentrate on Shanghai cooking and certainly plan to revisit Jia Jia Tang Bao and DTF).
From my solo trip in 2007:
re: erica
Chun is a one small chamber like room (2 big tables, 2 small), I don't think there is a menu, and I don't think the owner (who takes the orders) speaks English. I think the food is overrated, possibly because it was mentioned in the NYT in an article about Shanghai a few years ago, possibly because its a very small restaurant and the owner treats guests so well. There are better places to experience Shanghainese food though.
Xin Ji Shi has an English menu, but I know that certain dishes must be ordered in advance, and I think you would need to speak Chinese to do that. Much better food than Chun, but also more of a traditional restaurant setting than Chun. The choice depends on whether you are more focused on food or experience. With three nights, why not go to both?
re: erica
If you aren't counting calories, try the red-cooked pork belly. The Ji Shi chicken is a must try, too. http://is.gd/699s3 http://is.gd/69b3o
re: Xiao Yang
Xiao Yang: Many thanks!! I never count calories on vacation. Come to think of it, not at home, either! Thanks for the recs..I now have Ji Shi on the definite list.
re: erica
We have never been Chun, but have eaten at the other Shanghainese restaurants on that block. Chun is so small it is get in without reservations.
Our friends told us the quality of food are similar, although each restaurant have special dishes.
Foodwise, I like Fu 1088 better. There is a 300 rmb/person minimum there and the service is not commensurate with the price level.
JiShi is a step below Fu 1088 for food.
XinJishi (at XianTianDi) doesn't do shanghainese dishes as well as the local Shanghainese restaurants around Chun. Xin Jishi has much better decor and service. They also have your favorite expensive Cantonese biz dinner showpieces on their menu.
re: catraveller1
Fu 1088 sounds wonderful from the posts I've just read here! Many thanks for that. I will begin researching in earnest soon and return with a new thread and further questions. We will have 4 nights only, so need to choose wisely.
re: erica
We were at Chun in July 09 and thought it was fabulous and we'd go back. We had our in-China tour company call to make the reservation and then we showed up with a guide for the first 10 minutes to order. I think this place is a must, we ate all over Shanghai, HK and China for 3 weeks and looking back--this was our best meal overall when combined with experience and food.
Have went to Chun just once, and I have to say that the experience was really quite terrific! Great Shanghainese food, absolutely adored the fatty pork and the crab with rice rolls. The stick rice rolls were just fully infused with the sweet flavor from the crabs. The lady boss was very nice, and very kind to offer us free dessert. But as mentioned, knowing some measure of Chinese would be a great help.
Sadly, I have yet to eat at those fabulous restaurants recommended by the others! Sounds fantastic as well, and I'll definitely head to Xin Ji Shi one of these days. For now, these are just some words from the Chun camp :)
The place is terrific! You go in and you only see 4 tables. Its constantly pack. If I am not wrong the open only around 4pm but closes at 8.30pm. Just four and a half hours each day for 22 years.
The food is great. REALLY GREAT. We had jellyfish and some sweet sauce duck. Then moving on to snails and prawns. The prawns is so crispy and sweet. Just put them in your mouth and munch! There is the eel as well, abit too oily but who cares! We end off with a soup and wah la! What a meal! 7 Dishes for only 100RMB per person. Unbelievely cheap when you consider that they serve damn good food.
I like it. No menu and the lady boss will just tell you what they have for today. Then you pick.
Service could be unfriendly if compare to jesse. But I'm going for the food and doesnt bother me much. Unless I'm taking a guest which will be different story

|A lovely pair aren't they?
The one on the right I ran over, I forget what happened to the one on the left, I think he was found dead on the chain one morning. Being found "dead" was reasonably commonplace.
They were fun to have around, cheerful (if dogs could be said to be cheerful) and were going to turn out quite good dogs.
The left hand one was rigid in some practices. Would only hop in or out of a vehicle at the passenger side from the rear. Wickedly I'd park the toyota with that part hard against a strainer post or something. Turned out he couldn't/wouldn't jump in if that spot wasn't free.
If I was on horseback he'd follow so close he'd be nearly brushing the horse's hocks. One "dog kicker" I used to ride laid him out properly. At first it seemed he'd been brain damaged, as he ran around in a strange fashion. Apart from a tiny sliver of skull missing from one eye socket, there seemed no lasting damage.
Here they are standing by the road near the house, in some nice green Rhodes grass.

Unique sense of "touch" gives a prolific bacterium its ability to infect anythingNovember 20, 2014 8:49 am | by Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications, Princeton Univ. Videos Comments
New research has found that one of the world's most prolific bacteria manages to afflict humans, animals and even plants by way of a mechanism not before seen in any infectious microorganism—a sense of touch. This unique ability helps make the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa ubiquitous, but it also might leave these antibiotic-resistant organisms vulnerable to a new form of treatment.
Computer model sets new precedent in drug discoveryNovember 19, 2014 8:52 am | by Kat J. McAlpine, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering Videos Comments
A major challenge faced by the pharmaceutical industry has been how to rationally design and select protein molecules to create effective biologic drug therapies while reducing unintended side effects—a challenge that has largely been addressed through costly guess–and–check experiments. Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard Univ. offer a new approach.
Paramecia need Newton for navigationNovember 19, 2014 7:36 am | by Kevin Stacey, Brown Univ. Videos Comments
For such humble creatures, single-celled paramecia have remarkable sensory systems. Give them a sharp jab on the nose, they back up and swim away. Jab them in the behind, they speed up their swimming to escape. But according to new research, when paramecia encounter flat surfaces, they're at the mercy of the laws of physics.
A new portrait of carbon dioxideNovember 18, 2014 9:36 am | by Patrick Lynch, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Videos Comments
An ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model has given scientists a stunning new look at how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe. Plumes of carbon dioxide in the simulation swirl and shift as winds disperse the greenhouse gas away from its sources.

Lightning expected to increase by 50% with global warmingNovember 13, 2014 4:56 pm | by Robert Sanders, Univ. of California, Berkeley Media Relations Videos Comments
Today's climate models predict a 50% increase in lightning strikes across the U.S. during this century as a result of warming temperatures associated with climate change. Reporting in Science, a team of climate scientists look at predictions of precipitation and cloud buoyancy in 11 different climate models and conclude that their combined effect will generate more frequent electrical discharges to the ground.
Moving cameras talk to each other to identify, track pedestriansNovember 13, 2014 10:11 am | by Michelle Ma, Univ. of Washington Videos Comments
It's not uncommon to see cameras mounted on store ceilings, propped up in public places or placed inside subways, buses and even on the dashboards of cars. Cameras record our world down to the second. This can be a powerful surveillance tool on the roads and in buildings, but it's surprisingly hard to sift through vast amounts of visual data to find pertinent information, until now.
New way to move atomically thin semiconductors for use in flexible devicesNovember 13, 2014 8:51 am | by Matt Shipman, News Services, North Carolina State Univ. Videos Comments
Researchers from North Carolina State Univ. have developed a new way to transfer thin semiconductor films, which are only one atom thick, onto arbitrary substrates, paving the way for flexible computing or photonic devices. The technique is much faster than existing methods and can perfectly transfer the atomic scale thin films from one substrate to others, without causing any cracks.
Supercomputers enable climate science to enter a new golden ageNovember 13, 2014 7:59 am | by Julie Chao, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Videos Comments
Not long ago, it would have taken several years to run a high-resolution simulation on a global climate model. But using some of the most powerful supercomputers now available, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory climate scientist Michael Wehner was able to complete a run in just three months. Not only were the simulations much closer to actual observations, but the high-resolution models were far better at reproducing intense storms.
Cancer-killing nanodaisiesNovember 12, 2014 8:31 am | by Alastair Hadden, North Carolina State Univ. Videos Comments
North Carolina State Univ. researchers have developed a potential new weapon in the fight against cancer: a daisy-shaped drug carrier that's many thousands of times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Once injected into the bloodstream, millions of these "nanodaisies" sneak inside cancer cells and release a cocktail of drugs to destroy them from within.

Ultracold disappearing actNovember 3, 2014 8:09 am | by Jade Boyd, Rice Univ. Videos Comments
A disappearing act was the last thing Rice Univ. physicist Randy Hulet expected to see in his ultracold atomic experiments, but that is what he and his students produced by colliding pairs of Bose Einstein condensates (BECs) that were prepared in special states called solitons. Hulet's team documented the strange phenomenon in a new study published online in Nature Physics.

Xilinx Global Corporate and Community Engagement program is an integral component of the company's culture and supports charitable giving and projects that provide positive change with measurable results within its communities. Through these programs, Xilinx makes a positive impact on the global communities which includes customers, employees, shareholders, the environment and other global stakeholders.
To do this, Xilinx creates global teams and programs consisting of charitable giving and other projects that help define the standard for impacting the global community. Xilinx desires to not only exceed these established standards, but also to set new ones.
To partner with local and global leaders to improve the quality of life in our communities, while instilling pride in our employees, fostering a passion for excellence, and providing an environment that result in personal and professional growth.
To have a systemic social impact in our local and global communities through outreach, volunteerism, teambuilding, and philanthropy in the areas of Education, Health, Arts, and Social Services.
Music, poetry, theater, painting, dance and other forms of the arts nurture creativity and self-expression. Xilinx is proud to provide support to the organizations that bring the arts into local communities. Actively participating and donating to events and projects that foster the arts enriches all of us and encourages us to discover and embrace a sense of freedom and expression.
Around the world, Xilinx employees included Community Service in their holiday plans. Here are a few examples of the December 2013 events at Xilinx sites.
As is their tradition, Xilinx Singapore made a generous donation towards the annual "ChariTrees" event, which seeks to raise funds for more than 300,000 beneficiaries of Community Chest. The fundraising event is coordinated by Singapore's National Council of Social Service. For 2013, the theme was "Story Trees" and comprised Christmas trees displayed along the scenic Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade depicting their beneficiaries' struggles, applauding their relentless efforts in improving their lives and celebrating their triumphs in overcoming challenges. These stories also illustrated the good work done by charities in bringing joy, cheer, and meaning to beneficiaries' lives.
The beneficiaries' touching and uplifting stories inspired students from LASALLE College of the Arts to retell these stories through their creative handcrafted decorations, which represented the grit, determination, and dreams of the beneficiaries.
The Xilinx ChariTree, customized by the students, was called "Reflection" and was inspired by an elderly gentleman. Now 82 years of age, this gentleman used to be lonely and depressed due to his medical condition. A volunteer from a charity struck up a friendship with him and arranged for treatment in a hospital. The man was so grateful and inspired that he eventually ended up volunteering at the same charity. The students created many three-sided hollow pyramids made of a clear plastic material into which they placed cracked mirrors. The cracks in the mirrors gradually decrease as the pyramids spiral up the tree until they totally disappear, depicting how this elderly man changed from someone who needed help to someone who helped others. Xilinx volunteers added laminated red Xilinx logos which were hung all over the tree, to signify our partnership with Community Chest in bringing hope to the lives of the less fortunate.
Employees in Dublin had a special holiday treat from the students at St. Aidan's school in Brookfield, who put on a performance for employees at Xilinx during a lunch break on Dec 17th. In addition to good food and good company, employees got to enjoy good music from the students who sang Christmas carols. One student stole the show - his "Frosty the Snowman" costume and act was a big hit with everyone that day. The event got all of the XIR employees in the mood for Christmas and ended the year on a great note.
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom
Xilinx's corporate strategy for community engagement revolves around education by partnering with nonprofits to bring support to schools where Xilinx employees are connected and active. This employee involvement, complemented by funding, enhances core focus subjects – science, technology, engineering, arts, and math – and helps meet special needs so that every child has a chance to give back to society. Learn more...
For the last seven years, Xilinx Educational Ecosystem grants have fostered collaborations between public schools, nonprofit organizations, and Xilinx. The goal is to advance learning about science and engineering and to promote careers in related fields. The award-winning ecosystem model has grown beyond the San Jose, California community to other major sites (Longmont, Colorado; Dublin, Ireland; Hyderabad, India; and Singapore).
Spring is a busy season for the Educational Ecosystem as school years in San Jose, Longmont, and Dublin come to an end. Thanks to employee volunteers, several events gave elementary and high school students a close look at the exciting field of technology.
Junior Achievement: "JA in a Day"

Some people see things as they are and ask, 'Why?' I see things as they have never been and ask, 'Why not?
Learning from the experts in our community equips everyone at Xilinx to be health advocates, make healthy choices, and support organizations that are pioneering health advances. Besides bringing community resources into Xilinx, we go out into the community to get involved in many health-related fund-raising events that fuel research and treatment programs.
One of Xilinx's primary community engagement initiatives around health involves supporting organizations and programs that help those battling cancer.
Since leading the efforts to start a local Relay for Life event in 2009, San Jose employees have participated and volunteered at the Cambrian fundraisers for the American Cancer Society. Employees in Longmont, Colorado are also strong supporters of the event in their area, forming a team every year to fundraise and walk.
In addition to participating as a team, both sites hold additional fundraisers leading up to the event. In San Jose, Xilinx supports local schools in the area host a Relay Recess week where they can hold cancer awareness events and promote healthy living awareness. They also host a campus-wide raffle and celebrate Fight Back Week, which raises cancer awareness and celebrates the birthdays of those who have fought and are fighting cancer.
In addition to forming a team for Relay, The Longmont employees organize and participate in an annual golf tournament as a fundraiser for their Relay for Life team. .
The executive team has always lent strong support to the events, with V.P.'s and CEO, Moshe Gavrielov, regularly speaking at the event and participating as volunteers.
The first wealth is health.
From the first minutes of life to our last days, every human being needs the help of others. Xilinx employees partner with social services organizations that are bringing assistance to members of local communities. Employee involvement helps meet the full range of human need – addressing the body, mind, and spirit – and embraces proactive approaches that prepare for the future.
On Thursday, May 29, 2014, Xilinx held its second Annual Global Day of Giving. Service activities were organized and carried out at 11 offices in 8 countries across 3 continents, and contributed more than a thousand hours of volunteering to more than 21 non-profit community organizations and charities. The 2014 Global Day of Giving truly made a huge difference in many lives.
Besides the impactful results, the day was a fun opportunity for teambuilding. Site coordinators and the CCE program team lined up diverse and flexible volunteering options including convenient drop-in service projects. APAC sites kicked-off the Global Day of Giving, with follow-the-sun activities concluding late in the day in San Jose.
Some additional highlights from this year's events:
Two of Xilinx's larger sites, Longmont Colorado and Hyderabad, India, really stepped up to the plate with the number of employees that participated in an activity as well as the variety of ways in which the employees gave back.
In Hyderabad, employees held a blood drive where 135 employees donated blood. They also held a clothing collection where they filled two large boxes full of clothing to be donated. They also continued to operate a water kiosk that employees help establish and volunteer at on a daily basis. This kiosk provides clean water for drinking for the surrounding families.
In Longmont, employees divided into 8 teams that partnered with 3 organizations and headed out to 5 different locations around the area. Still recovering from the devastating floods that occurred in the fall of 2013, employees chose to focus their efforts on helping a variety of people and spaces continue to recover from the damage of the flooding. The efforts ranged from helping construct replacement homes for two families to repairing basements of homes to removing debris and fixing up a farm as well as a park.
Given the opportunity, it was very powerful to see Xilinx employees so willing to give back to their local communities on the Global Day of Giving.
Here's a photo album of the activities that Xilinx employees engaged in around the world.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Soracharu is a romantic comedy which stars actor Ravi Teja, who won the Nandi Award for Best Actor for the film Neninthe in 2008. Kajal Aggarwal plays the female lead in the movie.
Karthik (Ravi Teja) is a football coach in Ooty where he falls in love with and marries Vasu (Richa Gangopadhyay). After a few days, differences crop up between the two and they separate. In order to maintain a distance Karthik finds a job in Italy and starts working there as a software engineer.
In Italy, he meets Sandhya (Kajal Aggarwal) who falls for Karthik. When Karthik decides to go back to India, Sandhya follows.
However, on the flight home, Karthik reveals that he is already married. Sandhya isn't deterred. But what of the wife, waiting in the wings?
Ravi Teja uses his particular brand of comedy and action to good effect.
Both the heroines, Kajal Agarwal and Richa Gangopadhyay, fill the glamour slots but have little else to do.
Nara Rohit, Chandramohan, Jayasudha, Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao, Srinivasa Reddy, MS Narayana and Master Bharat, who make up the rest of the cast, do justice to their respective roles.
But director Parasuram loses control at the climax and ends not with a bang but a whimper.

Hotels Cut Room Service and Other Perks
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The New York Hilton Midtown Hotel will observe two milestones this summer: its 50th anniversary in June and, in August, the end of room service.
The 1,980-room hotel, New York City's largest, isn't the first hotel to discontinue that amenity, but it's probably the biggest. It's all part of a lodging industry trend to cut the frills and concentrate on basic service—a trend that the airlines pioneered with the introduction of controversial fees.
Around the nation and across the globe, hotels are curtailing such extras as business centers, minibars, bellhops, doormen and even traditional front desks for checking in. Yotel New York in Midtown Manhattan, for instance, asks guests to check themselves in at kiosks in the hotel's "Ground Control." And if their rooms aren't ready, Yotel's guests check their suitcases with a robotic baggage storage system.

"This card is a Play Date game changer. I've gotten so many compliments from other parents that I've had to handwrite the website on some of the cards I've handed out. The multi-lingual greeting also teaches our kids how to greet their peers in a new language. Bravo tinyprints!!"
"The review by designer is helpful and they did a great job of making the card green instead of one of the two standard color choices. Love how they turned out!"
"I received these "Mommy" cards well before the anticipated date I was to receive them. The card stock on these cards is thick and of high quality. The color is especially vibrant and brings notice to the card right away. Love this card and I'm so happy I bought plenty to last me a few years!"

The product descriptions at Monki.com will keep you entertained for hours
Whether they're the result of a groupon-esque super-quirky approach to product descriptions, or the legacy left behind by a very bored copywriter, the product descriptions on Swedish brand Monki's online store are a work of postmodern brilliance.
"Isn't it amazing how you can use the same letters and symbols to make something very clear (like this text does), and also to compose perfectly secret messages in a secret code?" cries one blurb, for a dress covered in hashtags, ampersands and various punctuation. On any other website, it would say 'print t-shirt dress in grey jersey'.
Elsewhere, a tie-dye bodycon number poses the question, "Is there order among the constellations, nebulas and planets of the Milky Way, or is it all the result of wild chance and random luck? Does it matter, if it is beautiful?"
They also explain how products came to be. "If you went out one day in your white dress, and an indigo rain started falling, soaking your shoulders and arms, you might end up with something like this... " This being ombre denim. We like the sound of indigo rain, though. Didn't Prince write a song about that once? Oh, wait...
A t-shirt emblazoned with 'LOL' carries the descriptions "Rats" spelled backwards makes "star", but "lol" just makes "lol"... Surely that must mean something?" while one pair of leggings apparently "look like what your legs feel like when your favourite song comes on." OK then.
Our favourite, though, is one form-fitting mini dress described as having "Bleached colours, like a leopard left in the sun too long, and cut into as shapely a fit as if an angel had held the scissors."
That angel clearly dropped the scissors and grabbed a computer keyboard soon after.
Bravo, Monki. You definitely made us smile. And also consider buying the skirt with the dogs on.

Can Barack Obama win over Appalachian voters in November?
Some say visiting the region and picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate could help while others say even that may not be enough.
The primary election results show Hillary Clinton received 65 percent of the vote among democrats in Kentucky.
Obama supporters we talked with seem to agree that by choosing Clinton as his running mate would be a big help in the general election.
Some Kentuckians like Governor Beshear say the idea of Obama and Clinton as running mates is a "Dream Ticket" but political analysts say it's not certain this dream will become a reality.
"Well there's a chance. I don't know if there's a good chance. I think Obama is considering several different people for different reasons," Dr. Tom Matijasic said.
Matijasic says the possible VP picks Include Virginia Senator Jim Webb, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and some others.
The primary results in Kentucky, though, show Clinton could help Obama.
"I'd say if he chooses Hillary as his running mate, I think he has the chance of winning the president election," Charlotte George said.
Something Senator Clinton also says.
Obama didn't visit eastern Kentucky before the May primary and only ended up winning two counties in the whole state, but democrats in our region have different views about his absence in the mountains.
"I think he should've been coming to Kentucky and making more rounds. Which I know he did a couple times in western part of Kentucky but you know, we do have other parts of Kentucky that he should've come," George said.
"I don't think he came to eastern Kentucky for tactical reasons. He had other states that he had to go to. I fully understand. He obviously did a very good job in going to these other states. He won the nomination," Ned Pillersdorf said.
One thing these democrats say they do agree on is that an Obama/Clinton ticket is the best way for Kentucky to be a blue state come November.
Neither Barack Obama or presumptive republican nominee John McCain have any scheduled events in eastern Kentucky in the near future.

Blood artist + Tokens + Cartel Aristocrat = Nice
Desecration Demon + Blood Artist = Nice
Tokens + vault of the archangel = Nice
doomed traveler + lingering souls + sorin, lord of innistrad = tokens
Orzhov charm + Doomed traveler = more tokens ( if I don't need the removal)
Vamphawk is there for defence and Obzedat is there for finishing and giggling at standstills.
Thank you!
desecration demon is kind of out of theme for your deck, and 3x obzedat is one too many. also nighthawk seems better in the sideboard for these decks. Consider moving those and putting in a zombie package; gravecrawler and geralf's messenger can turn up the volume, especially when you get into sacrifice/replay/sacrifice loops with cartel aristocrat.
But Desecration demon and Blood artist fit so well together. (Punishing for the sac) 3x Obzedats is there because it's a great removal target, and I want to be able to trade with the opponent. However, Gravecrawler and geralfs seems like a good idea. I'll look into it. Thanks!
obzedat's great but 3x means you'll most likely have one sittign in your hand at some point.
Gravecrawlers and messengers give you the option to sac and punish your opponent for you sacing. It's great. I ran a deck similar to this that had an infinite loop.rooftop storm + blood artist + gravcrawler + sacing to aristocrat.
Your deck seems to do 3 things at once. Also, Midnight Haunting, Intangible Virtue, Gather the Townsfolk.
And I agree, 3 ghost dads is one too many. It's a finisher that's impervious to sorcery speed removal. If you're worried about instant speed, you can always run Cloudshift, or, better yet, Restoration Angel
@ChadMalto: I like the idea behind that one, even it it's maybe mostly casual? If you could post a decklist I would very much appreciate it. Cheers!
Ahh. Ghost dad is not only a finisher, but also a great was to recover from aggro or drain vs. Control.
Nah, It was competitive and did really well. Let me make one, then I'll post it!
I been trying to get back into tournaments and stuff and wanted to build and orzhov deck with extort but the one i tried meeh didn't convince me. This one seem like cheap to make, i will probably change 2 obzedats for 2 blood barons of vizcopa because well i just have 1 obzedat, which i got on dragon maze pre release and they are expensive. seems like a good deck

wanted: dark cozy irish pub
- i
- irish breakfast Oct 2, 2007 04:24 PM
last night we wanted one but, being new to boston, couldn't find one. i would like suggestions for all over town -- cambridge and somerville too, so that when the urge strikes, we can be prepared. last night, fyi, the meltdown of pub radar resulted in a burger at chinatown's only gleaming german beer hall.
dark and cozy are musts. please be explicit in describing the darkness and coziness.
thank you chowhounders!
re: melikey
Matt Murphy's,,,,
re: galleygirl
I've always liked Matt Murphy's a lot too, but I'm not sure it's been dark and cozy since they renovated a couple of years ago. Seems rather light and airy now, although I've mostly gone for brunch, so the daylight may have skewed my perception. I do think that the Druid is properly dark and cozy, and last time I was there the menu seemed VERY similar (in a good way) to the Matt Murphy's menu, right down to the excellent oxtail soup.
re: MichaelB
I went to Matt Murphy's last night after also searching for a dark and cozy Irish pub here and was very surprised-- the renovation must have made a huge difference.
Our corner was dark and semi-cozy due to candles, but they were playing grating techno for most of our dinner and then 70's soul into the evening. The menu was nice and our food was tasty, but it was all so far from the classic, fairly inexpensive Irish pub food we were expecting and craving. (Epic let down.) The beer list looked short and sweet though I only had a ginger beer that was weak. Service was excellent. Cash only. Easy parking (I thought.)
Its a nice restaurant, but I would NOT recommend it now to anyone seeking a dark and cozy Irish pub. Perhaps once this was true, but it is not so anymore. No way.
re: digga
The bar half of the Indo is indeed dark and cozy as digga notes, but not particularly Irish. Totally worth a trek, though, irishbreakfast. It's one of my faves. Especially on alternate Friday nights when you can have your bar nibbles and well-made interesting drinks while bopping out to the MashAve mash-up djs.
I also second vanna/babette's rec for the Behan -- a great dark and cozy Irish place.
re: pierce
Is the music still very loud? I used to sit in the back dining room so I could hear myself think but that was about 5 years ago.
re: ginnyhw
hmmm, to be honest i can't recall. There's definitely music, and a high din to the background, but i don't remember having to strain to have conversation. In fact I distinctly recall one night in 2008 being flabbergasted in an election-related debate with a friend, both of us with escalating voices (though nowhere near top of lungs shouting) and being admonished by the bartender to keep our voices down....
The Brendan Behan in JP. Excellent Guinness.
I also like the Squealing Pig, just off Huntington near Mass Art. No fireplace but it really has that communal pub feel.
Well, I've never found a pub as dark and cozy as Gus O'Connor's in Doolin (County Clare), but here are some that you might like:
Hugh O'Neill's, Malden--dark, cozy, and not very well-known.
The Druid, Cambridge--excellent burgers and steak tips, very dark, and very cozy. Great place to go on a rainy night.
The Field, Cambridge--Spartan, well-worn, a bit gloomy, and a place where heavy drinkers tend to go for a pint and a shot. I love it!
James's Gate, Jamaica Plain--a lot like some of the pubs I know and love in Ireland. Has an ancient feel to it, and some of the food is pretty good.
re: hiddenboston
True, hiddenboston, Gus O'Connor's is the best. You made my day by mentioning it.
I second the Squealing Pig. I sat with a friend once on creaky wooden chairs there next to--if not a fireplace--a heating grate or something? Whatever it was it made it even more cozy.
The Thirsty Scholar in Somerville has got a snug you can sit in. And the Burren during the week for lunch is nice and dark and quiet.
re: langley
I spent four days and nights in Gus O'Connor's in 2005 (was staying one block away)--one of the greatest weekends I've ever had. Been there a few other times, too. Nothing like the place!
I need to get to the Squealing Pig. I remember someone telling me they had toasties there. There are definitely worse things than toasties and pints on a cool fall night.
re: hiddenboston
I saw the Red Sox win the World Series at The Pig. Not exactly a quiet, cozy night . :))
The back room there is especially nice though, if you want a semblance of psuedo-privacy .
Not terribly dark, but truly owned and operated by the great-grandson of the man who opened it a 100 years ago, the eponymous J.J. Foley in the South End. Old-school barmen (polite, neatly dressed, friendly but not overly familiar), a proper saloon on one side (no barstools), an inviting family-friendly pub on the other side with a real Irish ex-pat cook. Nice mix of mostly American pub favorites (wings, pizza, a good burger, steak tips) and a few dishes from the Isles (a fine lamb-based shepherd's pie, curry fries, excellent fish and chips). A high value neighborhood joint in an area famous for fancy upmarket restaurants -- a little treasure. Always has the game on, and they know how to pull a proper pint.
re: MC Slim JB
I love Foley's, spent most of my twenties there. Equally as dark and cozy is The Banshee on Dot. Ave. Occasionally it has some out of control dance nights, but for the most part it is a great pub. Best Guiness in the city in my opinion and Liverpool games every weekend.
re: MC Slim JB
They do turn out some good food! This past Sunday I had a special- irish smoked salmon on a potato cake with creme fraiche and red onion. It was wonderful and at $8 really coudnt be beat. I have had the eggs there a lot too, always good and perfectly cooked. I have had my share of hardboiled "poached" eggs at the fancier places in the neighborhood so its nice to know some people still know how to do the basics, poach, fry, sunnyside up. Great place to get drinks and a bite and not break the bank.

re: ginnyhw
I agree. I love O'Leary's!
I love the Plough and Stars on Mass Ave, in Cambridge. Though it is not exactly dark and cozy, they have great food, atmosphere, and really friendly, fun clientele. Plus good music later on.
re: steinpilz
I like the Burren, but mainly on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, since it's a bit less crowded then. Not a huge fan of the food, though. The food at The Druid is better, IMO.
re: hiddenboston
Those weekend afternoon at the Burren, when they have an irish band and people bring their families, are really fun. The food is much better at Murphy's, I'll have to try the Druid.
re: steinpilz
Very true. The weekend seisiuns are a lot of fun at The Burren. I haven't been to one in awhile; will definitely have to get back there soon.
I agree with a lot of these suggestions, but with some caveats:
The Druid, but make sure it's before 11pm or so. After that, I find the music defening, to the point where it's hard to talk to the people you came with.
The Burren, but not on a Thurs-Sat night. During that time, it feels like just another college bar.
Mr Dooleys (Broad St in the financial district): Kitschy, but fun. It's cozy in the same slightly cluttered wy that a grandma's house might be.
The Brendan Behan: probably my favorite on the list. Definitely dark: when I stop in there at 5 or 6 (in the summer) and step out for a cigarette, my eyes have to adjust to the light outside. There is always a dog or two hanging out with its owner. It's generally full, rarely crowded.
Coogan's in the financial district is dark: lots of brick & dark wood and great pubby beers, with big flat screens to watch the game. However, it's also got fewer people usually, big open windows to the dark financial district streets, white tablecloths and food that's good enough. Or maybe it's just close to where I live : ) We like it though.
Paddy Barry's on Hancock Street in Quincy. You might be the only Americans in there if you go.
The Blackthorne in South Boston
The Banshee in Dorchester
Kitty O'Shea's on State Street in Boston is your best bet since it's right next to Faneuil Hall.
Nash's Pub in Dorchester, another pub that you will probably be the only American.
re: swaldone
Two year jump here from the previous post - I'm guessing the OPs have found their favorite local by now.
re: phatchris
I agree. Not all that dark, but kinda cozy and above-average pub grub.
I second the vote for Mr. Dooley's. Very cozy -- especially when crowded. They pour a great pint and the crowd is usually good. Unless you are there on Sunday for Irish breakfast, I'd skip the food.
Avoid the Black Rose, Kennedy's, Purple Shamrock, Kinsale.
It's a shame the (old) Littlest closed. I haven't tried the new Littlest yet.

re: nomadgirl
I'm not an expert, but the new littlest bar is right across the street from my office and we've gone over a couple of times for lunches and drinks, and IMHO it's neither dark nor cozy, less so even than the Times with which it shares a kitchen and a largely uninspiring menu.
re: nomadgirl
The new Littlest isn't worth your time...and certainly not worth ruining the memories you associate with the name.
re: rknrll
i second this..... my friends and i waited with great excitement when the new one was finished, and then got there and it was just pathetic, or rather, it was indistinguishable from any other bar between there and Faneuil Hall. It was really sad. No real energy from the crowd, absolutely no reason to start a conversation with a stranger, and the bartender didn't have a clue (or an accent). I gave the bartop one last knock and walked out forever.
Go to Behan's, John from the old littlest tends there now, and it is the closest thing I've found to the original...
Flann O'Brien's in Mission Hill is another great spot that should not be missed. A varied crowd of young and old can be found any night of the week. Another favorite spot is the Farragut House in South Boston.
Farragut House Restaurant
149 P St, Boston, MA 02127
My suggestion goes to the Plough and Stars in Cambridge if you can get to sit the the booth/booths by the window. Dark, private, cozy. (Fake) candles on the table which are really not as bad as they sound. They also serve food which is above the standard pub food.
Of course, if you want super cozy and you can't get the booth then you're sort of out of luck. It depends when you go. When I head over there (usually earlier in the evening) I can always get that prime corner booth.

Most all reef tanks need potassium By Dave on 8/28/2013Dave would recommend this product to a friendBecause hobby grade potassium test kits are so difficult to get an accurate reading I have been sending my water off to be professionally tested and have found that my tank is significantly low in potassium.

About Warren Merrill
"Hello", "Hola" I have traveled all around the world, but call Vancouver home. Up until recently I have lived in this; my family home, with my father, and my long-time girlfriend Isabel. Café, a dachshund is our family dog and quite the charmer! I am the Principal of a Construction Company, We Do Everything Business & Home Services, Inc., and this is our Model Home that showcases the great work we do. I took this outdated house and transformed it into comfortable modern home with all updates amenities. Since my father lived with us until last year, my home was designed to be comfortable for two families to live together, but not be in each other's way! I've been an Entrepreneur my entire life and I love meeting and socializing with people from all around the world, so it just made sense to try out the Vacation Rental business. We are an English and Spanish speaking home. I took this 1969 old split level house and transformed it into what it is today… a modern home with all the newest amenities, not pretentious showroom, but a comfortable, peaceful home that I'm sure your will enjoy. We look forward to meet you all.
Warren Merrill purchased this house in 2003
Why Warren Merrill chose Vancouver
This is a great alternative to a 'bottled up hotel room'. Arrive in time for dinner, we just might invite you up. PRIVATE ACCESS. PEACEFUL. CLOSE to everything and EASY access to all freeways and the airport. OUR home is a perfect home base to all the wonderful day trips that the Vancouver/Portland area offers.
What makes this house unique
Golf can be just moments away. This is a well suited home away from home. My home is different from any split level home you've been in. Travertine tile and hard wood flooring is used throughout, with knotty-wood pine doors and trims that make you think of grandma's house! It is our Model Home with all the newest amenities, not pretentious showroom, but a comfortable, peaceful home that I'm sure your will enjoy. We look forward to meet you all, COME stay and enjoy!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL stay. You are good people- we will keep you and your family in our prayer. Thank you.
It was very nice to have spent time with you two on the back porch having a glass of wine and talking about life, do take care and come back to see us!
