There is one political party - the corporatist party. It´s like a game of shirts and skins except they play with hundreds of billions of dollars that don´t exist and neither "side" loses. We lose - the American people who still work for a living and don´t want to live oppressed under their boot. The thugs, thieves and deviants are winning.

Yay, David Limbaugh! Dittos, David. Lucianne´s site proves that there are oodles of us out here who are not ready to throw in the towel. America is worth fighting for. We bitter clingers will keep clinging to this country so blessed by God until they take it from our cold dead hands.

Impeachment proceedings need to go forward because it´s the right thing to do. Members of Congress are sent there to vote, on the record, concerning the most important issues of the day. By not voting they abdicate their responsibility and oath.

Mr. Limbaugh seems to get that there isn´t one cohesive opposing entity that falls under the label "Right."I often ask in conversation just who are you talking about when the term "Right" is invoked because it´s anything it needs to be depending on the circumstances. Here´s what I have concluded: Anyone not believing in a continuing slide to socialism is hard Right depending on the circumstances. Religious zealots who would tell you what you can do with a consenting adult in your castle are lumped in with the libertarian oriented defenders of individual liberty.In reality the political lines are more broken down by varying points of view regarding which individual freedoms to trample on. We lose the argument and obscure discussion when the terms Left and Right are used. It´s high time we shift the discussion to Statism, Totalitarianism, Tyranny vs. Constitutionally protected individual freedom limited government and a free capitalistic economy.

Excellent. A few thoughts""Talk" must pave the way for action. Ideas must be placed in the crucible of the public forum to be weighed and considered and refined before the public will act. So it was with leaders like Thomas Paine and the American Revolution. So it was with the abolitionists before slavery was finally abolished in the US. Even God saw a purpose in having John the Baptist be a voice in the desert to pave the way for His Savior.So it is with the not-so-crazy talk about impeachment, and even a new party to stand up to the treason. It is pretty well established that impeachment would be Constitutionally appropriate at this point. The fecklessness and corruption within the GOP is there for all to see. We saw it in MS. The strategic arguments are pretty much "settled". What we argue about are tactics. We must place our ideas on the table, seriously debate them, and refine them. The time for action is running out. The Republic is dying.

So at what point does a well armed citizenry come into play?At what point do citizens entranced by Dancing with the Stars enter the fray? Only when the brown shirts march up their driveways?

Flood the offices of your representatives and Senators that you want the border closed, the illegals sent back, that will stop that nonsense. Tell them you want Obamacare repealed, no more money spent for illegals and ´their housing´, you want answers to Benghazi, the IRS, etc.DO call and email, they get it after a while. Don´t just mouth off, not enough.Don´t bother with the WH, no one CAN read there, but Boehner, McConnell, Reid they might just get the drift. Boehner might want to lay off wine and PM cocktails for a while and learn how to focus. His staff will read your complaints!

With all due respect, #8, we are past that. The representatives that continue to do nothing but look after their own campaign coffers and reelection chances have BEEN receiving emails, calls and threats from the GOP electorate for years. We conservatives are ignored and not represented by the powers that be. We do not have the luxury of continuing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt. The establishment guys must go. They have chosen sides. So have thousands of American conservatives who refuse to vote for them any longer.

Best Western Plus Toronto Airport Hotel
Sandman Signature Mississauga Hotel
- Location is FAB - Quite spacious - Wonderful View - Comfortable
- Bath shower was SOO LOUD it was wakign up my kids sleeping in the next room - Insufficient Kitchen and laundry cleaning supplies. We had to buy detergent, dish wash sponge and looking for garbage bags - Kettle had calcium deposits and we just didnt use it
Location, facilities, well equipped kitchen.
Had problems with the remote control opening the garage door. I would have preferred king size beds. They only offered queen size beds in our apartment.
Everything about the apartment was just perfect
Nothing was bad
Kitchen was fully equipped. They kept milk ready as per my special request.
Everything was great !
very clean
bad not comfortable ,only 1 key
The rooms, the view, the kitchen and having a washing machine and a dryer is certainly a plus.
I enjoyed that the location was close to many places- it gave us the option to walk to the Square One Mall (5-10 minute walk). The facilities in the suite were very nice to have. The staff were friendly and welcoming and able to answer most of our questions. We had 2 vehicles and the landlord accommodated this for us so that we could park the other vehicle in visitor parking. The suite had a lot of space and was a comfortable place to stay on our vacation. Would stay here again.
We were on the ground floor, I would have enjoyed a balcony view of the city more. The suite could have been cleaned better- the bedding did not appear to have been washed prior to us coming and was very wrinkled (you are charged an additional $50 for someone to come in and clean your suite after you leave- I would expect that it be clean prior to arrival). The carpets also had dirt/debris on them.
The views from the suite was great. Just enough space for family of 4.
Mattress way too firm. Extra cleaning fee added to bill. All fees (except taxes) should be included at time of booking.
It was really homy and very comfortable with a great view. Great location since it is very close to square one and highways. Underground parking is provided for free. Laundry was in the unit so I can do laundry all I want. The list could go on and on... If the price weren't as high I would come back again and again.
We were charged $50 for cleaning and didn't know about it before hand. And it's not like a hotel where they come and clean your bed and bathroom everyday. The manager hired a cleaning lady at the end of our 3 day stay and put that charge on us. I guess that's the only thing I didn't like about it.
There was lots of space to move around and everything we needed to be comfortable. The manager was very congenial.
Next time I would ask for two key fobs so that we didn't always have to leave the suite together.
Landlord was available on call and ready to assist with any problems. Check-in was easy and we were permitted to check-out late as well as requested. The apartment was nice and clean and having a local land line number to call anywhere with the US and Canada was convenient. Parking space came in handy for our rental car and was free of charge. The Wi-Fi coverage was also great within the apartment. Overall a very good experience.
There was only 1 bathroom to be shared between the 2 bedrooms which wasn't really clear to us at the time of booking. Was inconvenient at time with 4 of us staying at the apartment but that's about it. Just something to keep in mind I suppose. Rest everything was good.
everything was great.. bed comfortable, two tvs, even a welcome basket! everything was in good shape and easy to use. Patio furniture was a nice addition.
Happen to be annual fire alarm testing for a couple of days...no big problem.
Lovely layout of the unit. Close to Square 1
The beds could have been more comfortable.
The suite was very clean and the landlord was extremely cooperative.
Great stay. Great Staff Located 10 Minutes away from Square One Mall (Walking distance). Would definitely stay again. Full furnished Suite. Felt like being home.
nothing to complain
With all appliances, it is like being at home. Suite and building very well kept. We enjoy the city view from the 32nd floor.
For an extended business stay, it was great to have a proper apartment instead of a hotel room. The condo was furnished beautifully, it was warm and quiet and security was first class. The location was perfect, ten minutes easy walk to the big Square One Mall, where the transit hub was, as I was relying on public transport. The indoor, heated pool was always empty and very well kept, as was the gym. The 'landlord' lived in the building and was always available to sort out problems (however small, like when I couldn't figure out the DVD player!). He even went out and bought breakfast supplies for me when I arrived late in the evening after a long flight. Highly recommended and would certainly return.
No complaints at all about the apartment. Now move on to Toronto weather this January and it's a different story ...........
Everything from the heated underground garage to the full kitchen, very clean and confortable, 3 tv's, fast internet, location. Very well kept and quiet. I will return.
It is close to Toronto down town and Niagara Falls.

Four people were arrested early today during a raid at the Sports N Spirits bar, 1723 E. Wayne St., including owner Burke Baughman, Fort Wayne police said.
Police said they began an investigation into the bar after receiving complaints from the public about the number of violent events in or around the bar. According to police, officers have been called to the bar more than 100 times since 2013.

This rustic, classic beach cottage is fronted by a meandering beachfront that is a mix of rocky outcroppings and sandy beach, and is backed by flowing fields. It offers the quintessential Maine summer cottage experience. The views and setting are inspiring.
It's a rustic, beautifully restored 1940s cottage -- simple but meeting all the needs for a relaxed vacation. A spacious living room opens to the waterside, covered porch and has excellent views over the water. The kitchen is just off the living room, as are the three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are on the back side overlooking the pasture, while the waterside bedroom has wrap-around windows that take in the view from all sides.
The cottage may not be a fancy place, but it would be hard to beat the beach, setting and views. And the location is convenient for enjoying not only the coastal villages on Brooklin and Blue Hill, but Deer Isle to the south, Castine to the west, and Acadia to the east are but a short drive away.
For those liking that classic New England experience in a prime oceanfront setting, Gray Cottage is your place!
The view from the covered porch and oceanside windows is a panorama of dancing waves. The color of the light and ocean changes with the season.....from an impossibly deep green and blue to a gun metal gray when a noreaster blows in. Enjoy the sounds of the waves and the fresh ocean air right in your bedroom.
If you're looking for a slower rhythm of days and a way to make the tension in your shoulders drain away, than this refuge by the sea is a perfect choice.Wireless internet, fireplace, dishwasher; lovely setting on the edge of the ocean. Rustic, simple camp-like cottage - prime oceanfront setting.

Firefighters reinstated after contentious Bennington meetingBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | June 19,2013BENNINGTON — After a contentious meeting in a packed firehouse on Tuesday night, the chiefs of the Bennington Rural Fire Department voted to restore all 15 members who had been suspended last week to active duty.
Chief Shawn Gardner said he made the decision to "try to move this department forward."
The firefighters had been suspended because they were believed to have been involved in lighting a camper on fire at a Mudder's Day event on May 12. The host of the event, Milo Campbell, was at the meeting and spoke strongly in favor of returning the firefighters to active duty.
Mudder's Day, which has taken place for six years, includes mud pits through which people drive as part of the day's contests and events.
The 15 people, most of whom were at Tuesday's meeting, were suspended because of a state investigation into the incident. The Bennington Rural Fire Department's bylaws call for a member to be "granted a leave of absence" if he or she is being investigated or charged with a crime related to the fire department.
About 100 people were at the meeting at the fire department's Willow Road firehouse. Many of them made angry comments about Gardner, accusing him of not standing behind his men.
There are two fire departments in Bennington, the Bennington Fire Department which is overseen by the town and the Bennington Rural Fire Department which is funded by taxes collected within the fire district and overseen by a prudential committee.
On Monday, Joseph T. Hayes, a member of the prudential committee and fire department, was arraigned in Bennington District Court on a felony count of embezzlement. Hayes, who pleaded innocent, was accused of being involved in a raffle which was supposed to benefit the department. However, police said some of the raffle's winners and the fire department itself were never given their winnings.MORE IN This Just InSki area operators in Vermont and across northern New England were giddy Wednesday at the...

A La Palma, California truck driver was sentenced in Lincoln Thursday for hauling hundreds of pounds of marijuana into the state.
Forty-nine-year-old Julio Sanchez was given two to four years and credited for 261 days already served. He'd pleaded no contest to attempted possession of a controlled substances for sale. Prosecutors had lowered the original charge and dropped another in exchange for Sanchez's plea.
The Nebraska State Patrol says 730 pounds of pot was found hidden in boxes of produce found inside a semi driven by Sanchez last November. The marijuana's street value was estimated at $2.5 million.

Dave Grohl's outsized personality and genuine charm have allowed him to easily escape the vast shadow cast by Nirvana in order to forge his own musical path with Foo Fighters. And while Grohl has become an affable, energetic frontman in his own right since leaving his trusty drum kit behind, the band would always be thought of as an offshoot if their songs weren't so strong. Grohl and his gang of Foos have crafted an impressive back catalog filled with anthemic, affecting numbers that seem to be born for stadium singalongs, and the fact that Grohl appears to be having the time of his life each time he steps onstage injects his rousing songs and spirited performances with a natural exuberance that proves to be impossible for his fans to resist. This stop in St. Paul should only add to the long list of great local shows that Grohl has been a part of over the last 20 years. With Rise Against and Mariachi El Bronx.

Web poll: Is your system considering banning smoking on rail platforms or at bus stops? Click here, to let us know.
New York State's new smoking ban on MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and MTA Metro-North Railroad (Metro-North) outdoor platform, ticketing and boarding areas of terminals and stations went into this week.
To help get the word out, an All-Star lineup of New Yorkers volunteered to record public address announcements for Metro-North and the LIRR, including New York Jets Super Bowl hero Joe Namath, New York Ranger Hall of Famer Rod Gilbert, former New York Yankee Tommy John, WFAN sports commentator Ann Liguori, and Long Island native and former Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler."The new law is a benefit to our customers, helping us in our efforts to provide a healthier and cleaner environment on our platforms and in our ticketing and boarding area," said Metro-North President Howard Permut said.In addition to the public service announcements, customer education campaigns to raise awareness of the new smoking ban will include seat drops on trains, posters in stations, customer email alerts, and postings on Facebook and Twitter. Permanent signage will also be installed at all LIRR stations in New York City, Nassau County and Suffolk County and all Metro-North stations in New York City, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange and Dutchess Counties.MTA Police will be issuing warnings to violators rather than summonses during a grace period while the education campaign is underway and both railroads amend their Rules of Conduct and those rules are approved by the MTA Board.The current rules prohibit smoking on any train and in any indoor area within a terminal or station. The new state law extends the prohibition on smoking to the outdoor railroad platforms, ticketing and boarding areas. When the Rules of Conduct are amended for both railroads, it will provide the MTA Police with the authority to enforce the new law.
Additionally, Austin, Texas' Capital Metro is planning to prohibit smoking and other tobacco use within 15 feet of a bus stop, statesman.com reported. However, because the agencty does not have lawmaking authority, the tobacco ban at bus stops would be voluntary. For the full story, click here.

Tallahassee, FL - FAMU journalism students didn't even have to leave campus to go on a job interview.
FAMU's School of Journalism and Graphics Communications held its annual fall job fair.
Nearly a dozen recruiters from local and national companies, such as C-B-S News, were present.
Students got a one-on-one 30 minute interview.
Jasmine Mitchell, FAMU Broadcast Journalism Student, says, "I just think it's a wonderful opprotunity. I feel liek ti's one of the great resources that we have here at FAMU. This is kind of inspiring to see people come and people who actually have positions open and are actually hiring people. It's great."
Our very Shonda Knight was there representing WCTV.

installed bear paw 1200Cu plus drivers under Windows7 64
this is an achievement! bear paw 1200Cu is a very old scanner and so far it was not possible to set up it under win7 64 bit. but now a combination of
1) st install ftp://ftp.mustek.com.tw/pub/driver/BearPaw/1200CUPLUS/Windows7/setup.exe
2) nd install http://www.mustek.de/11/images/stories/mustek_products/Scanner/BearPaw/1200cuplus/driver/vista64/web64.exe from http://www.mustek.de/11/index.php/en/service-a-drivers-2/treiber-a-software/269-downloads/166
did it.
maybe just second link was enough ? but anyway after installing both and rebooting ( just rebooting with first one will cause windows crash ) everything works.So I'm able to use this old, but still useful scanner from time to time.

European unemployment at record 12 percentBy PAN PYLAS
The Associated Press | April 03,2013LONDON — The "eurozone" economy has passed another bleak milestone.
Official figures Tuesday showed that unemployment across the 17 European Union countries that use the euro has struck 12 percent for the first time since the currency was launched in 1999.
Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, said the rate in February was unchanged at the record high after January's figure was revised up to 12 percent from 11.9 percent.
Spain and Greece have mass unemployment and many other countries are seeing their numbers swell to uncomfortably high levels as governments across the region enact tough austerity measures to get a handle on their debts.
The eurozone, which is made up of a little more than 330 million people, is one of the world's major economic pillars and the turmoil surrounding it has been one of the main reasons why the global recovery has been muted.
A total of 19.07 million people were officially out of work in the eurozone in February, nearly two million more than the same month the year before. For the 27-country European Union, of which the eurozone is a large part, the unemployment rate was 10.9 percent.
"Such unacceptably high levels of unemployment are a tragedy for Europe and a signal of how serious a crisis some eurozone countries are now in," said EU Employment Commissioner Laszlo Andor.
Even though the eurozone has achieved another disappointing record, for the positively-inclined there was some comfort to be found.
The 33,000 increase in the number of unemployed in February was the smallest monthly rise since April 2011 and way down on the 222,000 recorded in January. And Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has an unemployment rate of only 5.4 percent. That's even better than the U.S. rate of 7.7 percent.
However, the February figures came before the recent Cyprus crisis.
The worry in the markets is that the chaos surrounding the country's bailout has reignited concerns over the euro and may have further dented confidence across the eurozone — a backdrop that's hardly conducive to job creation, economic recovery and stability across the eurozone.
"The economic and social consequences of high unemployment continue to represent one of the most significant threats to the future of the eurozone," said Marie Diron, senior economic adviser at Ernst & Young.
It's certainly a real threat to the immediate future of Cyprus.
Unemployment on the east Mediterranean island nation of barely a million people is expected to ratchet higher over the months ahead as the economy contracts sharply.
Many economists are forecasting that the Cypriot economy will shrink 10 percent this year alone and see unemployment rise up to Greek and Spanish levels. In February, Cyprus' unemployment stood at 14 percent, compared to Spain's 26.3 percent.
Greece, which is in its sixth year of a savage recession, had an unemployment rate of 26.4 percent in December. Its figures are compiled on a different timeframe and the actual rate in February will probably be even higher.
Prior to the Cypriot crisis, there were signs that Europe's debt crisis had calmed. Stock and bond markets had risen for nearly six months, boosting confidence in countries' ability to finance themselves.
But while markets have improved, the eurozone economy has sunk back into recession as many governments in the region enacted big spending cuts and tax increases. Some countries, such as Greece and Portugal, are doing so as part of their international bailouts after they lost the confidence of bond investors, while others such as Spain and Italy, are pursuing tough budget policies to avoid suffering the same fate.
The eurozone's economy is forecast to contract by 0.3 percent in 2013, according to the European Commission, the executive arm of the EU. Official first-quarter gross domestic product figures for the eurozone and EU are due to be released next month.
A closely watched survey released Tuesday indicated that the recession is likely to have continued in the first quarter. The monthly purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector — a gauge of business activity published by financial information company Markit — fell to a 3-month low.
Though the PMI was not as bad as first estimated a couple of weeks back, it fell to 46.8 points in March from 47.9 in February. Anything below 50 indicates an economic contraction.
The worry in the PMI survey was that manufacturing activity weakened across the eurozone, including Germany, Europe's export powerhouse.
"While in some respects it is reassuring to see that the events in Cyprus did not cause an immediate impact on business activity, with the final survey results even coming in slightly higher than the flash estimate, the concern is that the latest chapter in the region's crisis will have hit demand further in April," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...

Dolphin Browser
Price: Free
The popular web browser received an update last week that delivered the ability to share via email, Twitter, and Facebook from the app itself; clipping content to Evernote or Box; and Dolphin Connect, which allows the syncing of bookmarks, tabs, and history across multiple devices, as well as using extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to sync across mobile and desktop computers.
The app now includes a feature that will allow sharing a web page via Wi-Fi, and can restore tabs from previous sessions.

CommBank Kaching
Platform: Android

Kaching has received a facelift, and now looks more like a native Android app than an out-of-place iOS port.
It's nice to see that slowly, but surely, app makers are taking the time to go native on Android, rather than doing a quick port.

About Sam & Gila Lehrer
Semi retired, owned property for almost 30 years, the original Ledlow was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. We live in New Orleans so after Katrina, we dealt with all of the Katrina problems for several years. Finally we could see the light at the end of the tunnel and decided to rebuild the beach house. We purchased our original place over 30 years ago, then Perdido Key was relative undeveloped. Now although there is more development, it is positive - supermarkets, shopping, all near by but not next door. How many beach houses have 300 ft undeveloped beach on one side and 200 ft on the other, not to mention our 100 ft in the center.
Sam & Gila Lehrer purchased this townhome in 2010
Why Sam & Gila Lehrer chose Perdido Key
We purchased this property because of the pristine nature of its snow white beachs, and low popupation density; the original beach house was destroyed by Ivan. We completed building its replacement which we love. We like the area because it is low key, most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, yet there are shopping, restaurants, supermarkets, entertainment close by. Property has no buildings on either side so you really feel like the beach is yours yet you are not isolated.
What makes this townhome unique
Easy to get to, relatively uncrowded, incredible beaches, can accommodate large groups, excellent venue for destination weddings, family reunions, and cooperate retreats. Near shopping, restaurants, super markets, Tangiers discount mall only about 30 min drive.

Kick the Bad Habit
Looking for a job? I've been there. The first month of last summer, I was unemployed after my high school graduation. I searched job board websites day-in and day-out. Admittedly, I started getting into a bad habit of laziness. I would think to myself, "No luck today, maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow". I would wait day after day without finding anything.
I had a very short term mindset at the time. I was solely thinking about finding summer work. I wanted to make money so I could add to my college savings. My attitude became very problematic; since I was only thinking about the short term, I completely ignored any long-term opportunities. I was not willing to make any kind of an effort on a long-term project.
I continued searching the job boards and my productivity hit an all-time low. Finally, towards the end of the summer, I began to realize that if I couldn't find a job, I could always create one. Since I couldn't find an opening on the market for the summer, I decided to make myself a job. That's right, I produced a job out of thin air. I freelanced to clients and ended up earning over $1000 that summer.
Lesson: Don't just do what's easy. It's easy to search the job boards and complain. The truth is, there are plenty of moneymaking opportunities available, as long as your head's in the right place.
Tip: Think about doing something purposeful.
Move Forward
Once I changed my mindset, I started working on an ebook(to be released soon) and freelanced. Working for myself was actually very rewarding. I was able to decide a lot on my own: my hours, my pay, and my tasks. But most importantly, I allowed myself room to develop in whatever way I saw fit. Instead of following outside guidelines, I followed my own.
My Suggestion: Can't find a job? Create one.

|KIR3DL3 (killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, 3 domains, long cytoplasmic tail, 3)
|Molecule Type
|Antigen Expression
|Molecular Weight
Min / Max
|Non-lineage Restricted Molecule
Type 1 glycoprotein
|NK Cell
T Cell
|CD158z is expressed on subsets of NK cells, on subsets of cytotoxic cells and some T cells. Expression on individual NK cells is complex and several members of the KIR family. The repertoire of KIR molecules varies among NK cells and is not determined solely by the HLA hapotypes.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily.
CD158z is a single-pass type-1 410 aa glycoprotein. It contains a N-terminal signal sequence, an extracellular domain which contains 3 Ig-like C2-type domains (D0, D1 and D2), a transmembrane domain lacking a positively charged residue and a 84-95 aa long cytoplasmic domain containing 2 ITIM motifs.
POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION: No information.
|LIGANDS AND MOLECULES ASSOCIATED WITH CD158z
HLA-class 1 allotypes are the ligands for CD158 molecules.
|CD158z is involved in the suppression of NK cell mediated cytotoxicity and may prevent cell lysis.
BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY: No information.
DISEASE RELEVANCE AND FUNCTION OF CD158z IN INTACT ANIMAL: No information.
Killer cell immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors (KIR), also called killer cell inhibitory receptors, are glycoproteins expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and some T cells. The KIR family is estimated to include about 11 genes. Some members of the KIR family bind to certian HLA class allotypes. Ligation of such KIR by HLA class I molecules on target cells results in inhibition of the NK or T cell cytotoxic activity. The KIR family is subdivided into 2 subfamilies based on structure, 2 Ig domains (KIR2D) and 3 Ig domains (KIR3D), with further subdivision into forms with short and long intracytoplasmic tails. The 1st and 2nd Ig domains in KIR2D are closely related in aa sequence to the 2nd and 3rd Ig domains in KIR3D. These 2 related Ig domains are called D1 and D2, respectively. D0 is the 1st Ig domain in KIR3D. Kir members vary in the length of the cytoplasmic tails. Most of the long cytoplasmic tails, KIR2DL and KIR3DL, deliver an inhibitory signal and carry 2 immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIM) which recruit and activate protein tyrosine phosphates, SHP-1 and or SHP-2. The short cytoplasmic tails are truncated before the 1st ITIM and are connected to a transmembrane region which includes a lysine residue and can activate NK or T cell responses. The short tail associates with a disulfide dimer of 14 kDa. phosphoproteins called DAP12 which is also known as killer activating protein (KARAP).

Tips for eating out less expensively in a bad economy?
- rworange Jan 22, 2009 09:39 AM
There are the usual tips
- Look for early bird specials
- Use promotions, coupon books (but only if they have decent restaurants)
- Plan dining out on off nights when restaurants often have promotions instead of prime time on Friday and Saturday
- Take advantage of restaurant week promotions. Currently SF there is Dine About Town where there are three-course prix-fix lunches and dinners at special prices. You have to watch to make sure it is a deall, but I just had a $47 meal for $22 that was by a top area chef.
There was a good tip, I thought on some talk show. If you have children, instead of hiring a babysitter, get together with other parents and child-pool. Parents take turns of watching the kiddies instead of hiring a babysitter. It saves one cost on an evening out.
Every little bit helps, IMO. It doesn't cost anything to book on opentable and eventually you get back some dining dollars.
If you must eat out on Friday-Saturday, eat at lunch where many times the same dishes are a few bucks less.
I'm a little distressed by this discussion on the chain board where it seems people would rather eat at chains like the Olive Garden because they know what to expect and don't want to take a chance on a bad meal at an independent restaurant
This astounds me, especially since they are saying this on Chowhound and only have to ask on their home boards about what is good and bad. Why settle for mediocre, though it is reliable mediocre. IMO, it is better to eat out less frequently than squander the little money there is on a blah corporate meal.
Anyway that link is there to discuss the charms of chain dining. I hope this thread will be about strategies for eating out at restaurants that are not chains.
This seems like a good opportunity to explore those mom and pops and expand food horizons.
Also, IMO, don't stiff a good server to save a few bucks. If you have to cut the tip, don't eat out or eat out less frequently.
Anyway, any other tips for keeping costs down?
re: bermudagourmetgoddess
Or order beer instead of wine or cocktails.
There was one SF poster who was alway going on about how little money he had and yet was always eating at great restaurants. He ordered beer instead of wine and was quite the knowledgable person on beer. Also, he and the Mrs. often split the entree.
re: bermudagourmetgoddess
There are several places in D.C. that have 1/2 priced bottles of wine specials on certain nights of the week, for those who like to have a couple of drinks with dinner. However, it's very true that alcohol generally raises the bill significantly.
Yes, cook at home. It's literally a multiple of 4-5 times more expensive per meal to eat out.
I don't think people realize yet how much this economy is going to change and affect people. Eating out used to be something you did on holidays, and to celebrate personal occasions, not every weekend. The other use for eating out was for business relationship building purposes.
Seriously, I don't think telling people how to waste money more slowly is much help for them.
So back to your original inquiry, I would say the best way to save money on eating out would be to use it appropriately, and save it for special occasions. If you need to socialize, host and attend dinner parties at your friends' homes - again, that was done much more in the past, rather than going out to restaurants.
re: softDiner
I cook at home all the time, living in Bermuda we do not have a great selections of restaurants and I HATE going out and spending at least $300 per couple for a meal I KNOW I could have cooked better.
We have lots of Dinner Parties / Themed nights with our friends and it gives me the opportunity to try new receipes!
Matter of fact we are having a 70's night this weekend we having fondue and for cocktails Harvey Wallbangers and White Russians
re: softDiner
I like your comment about eating out appropriately.
I think if anyone is stepping into any restaurant these days it should be to make your food dollars count.
Say you get just one Starbucks specialty drink a week and one fast food meal. That's $4 for the drink and about $7 for the meal. If you just cut those out, at the end of the month you would have over $40 for a really nice splurge somewhere. And many people spend way more than that each week.
Why throw money away on thoughtless food that pretty much just fills the belly. Delay instant gratification and use those dining dollars for true deliciousness
re: viperlush
Oh I understand not that every meal has to be elaborate or expensive, but I living in Bermuda we have not choice except for expensive meals.
We have no chains, except one KFC and it's no deal like the states.
That is why we save up for when we travel off the island.
Eat at restaurants that feature local fare. My husband and I moved to the MS Gulf Coast nearly a year ago. Growing up in IN, seafood was a luxury and true creole and cajun cooking was unheard of, but here on the Coast where it is abundant, it is just about the most affordable dining out you can do.
There is also a large Vietnamese population in my area, so if you're brave enough to go for one of the Viet places that appears to be a little hole in the wall, you'll quickly find you can enjoy one of the most authentic, delicious, AND inexpensive meals you'll have anywhere. The same holds true for Mexican food in this area. This is not to mention the dozens and dozens of little cajun/creole mom and pop restos/shacks that dot the area. It seems going for authenticity in food, rather than stellar atmosphere can mean a huge savings. I may be weird, but I prefer the quirk of an old laundromat repurposed into a Pho joint over the consistent sheen of manufactured Italy at Olive Garden any day.

I don't wish to digress from the title of your thread, but you might want to read or try to understand a little more before passing judgment. Not all of us live in a place so well populated or full of those who are chowhound/foodie types that we have the luxury of simply posting to ask where is good in their neighborhood only to be offered up a plethora of delectable choices. Where I live, we are surrounded by really, really, really bad restaurants. The decent places are at least a half hour away and are very expensive. The best, affordable choices in my neighborhood, believe it or not, ARE the chains.
Edited to add: I'm sure many people reading a post like mine simply don't believe it. Today is a perfect example, let me run it down for you, for real.
mr. rockandroller and I have to go to a specific store for an errand that is out in another suburb, not our neighborhood but one where we used to live (and we may move back there at some point, we still enjoy it there as it's very low crime, good schools, manageable traffic/commutes, etc.). We will probably be hungry after we go to the store we need to visit, and will want to get dinner out. These are literally our choices, I won't use the specific names of the restaurants but I'm sure you can figure it out:
Steak chain
Italian chain
"American" chain
BBQ chain
Fish/seafood chain
Sit-down burger chain
ALL the fast food chain places
Fast casual chains, such as giant burrito place, "homestyle" chicken and sides place, sub shops, salad/sandwich/bakery place.
Indie restaurants include:
Italian place - terrible, have been there twice
Upscale asian place - way, way too expensive for a casual weeknight meal, reservations only
Japanese place - very bad. Last time, my 2nd try, I left without even eating my entree.
Pizza place - takeout only and mediocre pizza
Greasy spoon/American breakfast place - absolutely awful, nothing but Sysco or lower products.
I know *every* restaurant in this neighborhood. I can assure you there is no stone unturned. There is nowhere else to eat if you want a decent meal than the chain.
re: rockandroller1
Yes, I made my points in the chain thread (maybe too often) and would rather not digress here and instead shush out tips for eating on a dime, so to speak, at non chain restaurants here.
I think you offered the same and good arguments in that thread and I have been in areas like that. However, others in the thread were not in that same position. Anyone living in a major town like Cleveland or Cincinnati can do better than a chain. Anyone interested in discussing this further I hope you'll use this link ... and convince some of those lost culinary lambs that there are better choices.
Find out what the BYOB policy is, the corkage fee may be reasonable and you get to drink your favorite budget bottle of wine.
Restaurants also have happy hour and usually it includes food as well as drinks. In my neck of the woods, there are promotions from half priced appetizers to a specialty happy hour menu.
Just to expand on one of your points rworange, I've seen promotions Sun - Thurs that include: BOGO entrees, half priced entress, kids eat free and prix fixe menus.
Lastly, mix it up. If you are going to your favorite place try the shrimp salad you have never ordered but always thought looked good. Order a couple of appetizers instead of an entree. If it's not on the menu, ask if they will make you a half portion. Or you could just give it up, don't order an appetizer and/or dessert.
Plan. Go out once a week. Never go out just because you're too lazy to cook.
That's the time to fix an omelet or some saimin noodles or clean out the leftovers that will be growing mold by the weekend.
When we were growing up, even when times were tough, my family went out every Wednesday night to a local family owned restaurant. We got to use our rudimentary reading skills on the menu and Daddy taught us to read that menu from right to left so that we had an appreciation for cost.
Even years later when my brother went through his scary Hells Angels look-alike phase, he had the best manners in the crowd.
My parents had a cocktail, the kids had real food, and we behaved.
Before long, we were trusted enough that they took us with them to the best restaurants in town for special occasions several times a year.
Daddy always tipped well.
That restaurant was always crowded and it's still in business today - 50 years later because of people like my family. Regulars.
Without YOU, they die.
Ask not what this economy can do for you but what YOU can do for this economy.
Eating in restaurants makes you a creator and preserver of jobs.
Don't think of the "unemployment" rate.
93% of Americans HAVE jobs, likely including you, so do YOUR part to help others keep theirs.
Pick a regular night and go out.
Ask for tap water. Keep those plastic bottles out of landfills.
Don't run up the bar tab.
Order from the middle of the menu.
Maybe the special of the day.
Share a dessert.
Tip well.
Be nice.
You have a job.
You eat out.
The restaurant stays open and they have jobs.
Their suppliers have jobs.
It all trickles down and out and all around.
Then get your car washed and the oil changed.
Get a manicure. Maybe a massage.
Tip all the people well.
You have made sure that a lot of people keep their jobs.
Oh, even the kids at the Olive Garden need their wages for college so don't be too hard on the chains.
It's all going to be OK.
PLAN to eat out at LEAST once a week.
It's your PATRIOTIC duty.
re: MakingSense
For one of the few times on the board we agree :-)
Except ...
>>> Oh, even the kids at the Olive Garden need their wages for college so don't be too hard on the chains.
Eat out for deliciousness., This is the time to keep the great places in business. Don't shortchange yourself on the best and plot how to get it. Don't settle. Those kids will find jobs at the more delicious restaurants. OG ain't the only job in town.
And again, I hope everyone to stick to tips to eating less expensively but deliciously when eating out ... even if for you that means OG to you.
Good tip about eating out regularily ... planned eating ... take a little time to choose a good place. The time I'm most likely to waste my food dollars is when I'm rushed.
Sharing dessert is a good idea too. At least in my area, often dessert is half the price of an entree.
Why the middle of the menu? What is the usual advantage?
I'm looking at my Bouchon menu which I keep forgetting to toss and in that particular case the most expensive dish is smack dab in the middle and the cheapo stuff, so to speak, buried at the bottom or off to the side.Unless you mean stick to the entrees and forget about those pricey desserts and salads.
Given Bouchon is pricy, it might be an abberation and this restaurant is expensive ... the type that if you have to ask, don't go ... still ... consider the less expensive dishes if you want to eat high on the hog.
Looking at the Bouchon menu reminds me of another tip ... ask how big servings are if you are not familiar and when scanning other dishes in the restaurant you don't see other tables with the dish you want. The Croque Madame I ordered that came with a mountain of those frites was $15.50. I had a cup of coffee with it and got to eat at a Thomas Keller restaurant for less than I'd pay for a dinner at Cafe Macaroni. Sure, I'd get some Syco entree there ... but why not eat quality if a little less.
Bouchon's fries are a heart-stopping $7 ... but ... there are literally three McDonald's super size servings on that plate. It is meant to be shared by three or four people ... and using that parameter ... each serving would come to about $2 or less ... which is what you'd pay at a fast food joint for a similar portion.
Which leads to ... take some dinner home if the portions are big. That makes two meals and lessens the pain.
re: rworange
Speaking of Sysco, you might be interested to know that Bouchon uses Sysco fries.
re: Humbucker
Yeah, I know that. IMO, tastes it.
But I ranted about the fries before even trying them. Now I can bitch about it with some authority having had the fries. They are good, but before McDonald's screwed with the oil, those were good too.
I was actually there for the croque. Sort of hate using Bouchon as an example but it was fresh in my mind and most people regard it highly. IMO, it is just another chain ... an top of the heap chain, but none the less ... chain. If I go to the Bouchon in Las Vegas and didn't look out the window, there would be no difference.
The real point was that I've often been surprised that if you go with the lower-priced items of top restaurants you can dine less expensively than going to most chains.
I guess a better example would be Chez Panisse. It has a three-course prix-fixe for $26. The lowest priced entree there is $18 When I look at the menu for Olive Garden $18.50 will get me Pork Filettino or I can choose the Steak Toscano Served with Tuscan potatoes and bell peppers.for $22.75
For $2.25 more at Chez Panisse tonight I can get Braised Becker Lane Farm pork shoulder with roasted butternut squash, rapini, and spicy black olives $25
Of course CP doesn't offer a choice of soup or salad with that, but I will get a basket of Acme bread with wonderful butter rather than the Pillsbury-like bread sticks from Olive Garden.
The absolute least expensive entree on the Olive Garden menu is $11.50 for a sad looking plate of Linguine alla Marinara. For a few bucks more at Chez Panisse I can get Winter greens ravioli with salsa di noci.
If I add $6.95 for dessert at Olive Garden along with the highest priced entree selection that brings my tab up to $29.70 ... for three courses ... salad, entree, dessert
The $26 three-course prix-fix at Chez Panisse tonight is
Garden lettuce salad
Winter greens ravioli with salsa di noci
Lime sherbet with candied mint leaves and langues de chat
Chez Panisse is the top quality organic ingredients made fresh that day by top chefs served in a lovely dining room.
Olive Garden is bagged salad, a frozen entree heated with probably sad, overcooked slightly mushy and extremely salty potatoes topped with little bits of pepper that won't taste like much.
For me, the better value would be Chez Panisse. And if I want to go out full-out and order the most expensive items at CP, I;d rather skip two or three forgettable meals at the Olive Garden for one memorable meal at CP.
In other calculations, that $26 tab at Chez Panisse is four Whopper with cheese combo meals or 9 Starbucks grande specialty drinks
Make your food dollars count.
re: rworange
God! You're good!
Most people don't have your math skills and are intimidated by the Big Name restaurants but you're really right. We do it all the time but it takes some knowledge and confidence.
Eating wisely at good restaurants can be an excellent value.
I say "the middle of the menu" because we've always found that MOST menus start with the cheapest things (and the least creative) and end with the highest priced which are often the assumed luxury items. In that lovely middle is often where you find the goodies like rabbit, duck, unusual fish/shellfish, house specials, liver, etc. often at the best prices for what you get - value!
If we skip the stupid money-wasting stuff - stops at 7-11, thoughtless cups of coffee on the run, bottled water from convenience stores - the savings add up.
Lazy carry-out because I don't feel like cooking is the worst money waster.
Every meal SHOULD count.
BTW, I agree with you more often than you might ever believe.
re: MakingSense
Especially the manicure/pedicure/massage part :).
re: MakingSense
Lovely. And I will add to that, go out LOCALLY and help the little guys ride the storm. I'd rather get Mexican, BBQ or Italian from my local hole in the wall than a chain any day. Food's better, service is better. Often more open to BYOB, too.
I think it all boils down to living within your means....if dining out means you don't pay the phone bill.....well.....maybe you should be thinking twice about whipping out the credit card. (btw, i am not good at this one, i'm known to buy a fabulous pair of boots rather than pay a bill.....just not all the time ! )
I think one poster made a good point about not whittling away at the dining dollars with on the run take out / drive thru....it piles up. UNLESS of course, that is what you enjoy. If a morning Starbucks makes your toes curl, I say go for it.
I also agree with not right out discounting the chains....and i know this thread is not about that....but dining out is often just about socializing, you're there to catch up with friends etc...and some of those friends enjoy Olive Garden. IF that is what you can all afford this week, I also say go for it......who knows what tomorrow will hold, see your friends now. On a side note, I've noticed that if I do eat at a chain, i tend to order the more expensive or potentially interesting items in hopes that i'll have a little wow.....which kind of defeats the purpose...
Also agree with the special restaurants for special times. $$$$ restos won't be all that special if you're eating there every second night.
Again agreed to explore the mom and pops....roadside stands...up and comers....boost their economy. It'll keep things flowing.
HOWEVER....eating at home, especially if you're throwing a dinner party...is NOT cheaper for many Chowhounds.. I've a "horrible" tendancy to go a little all out if i have someone over for dinner.
ok, so really the only thing I can think of is stretching the wine dollars.....one great glass to sip...rather than several...or bring your own.
Before eating out, ask why you're eating out.
Have the cocktail hour before you leave the house.
Drink tap water.
Never eat at a restaurant unless the food is either (a) difficult / complex / time-consuming to prepare or (b) better than what you'd make at home.
Don't be embarrassed to go for the loss-leader (2-fer, discount night, Entertainment Card, BOGO, whatever), but tip the server like you paid full price.
And my favorite -
Go to more restaurants where the owners aren't already rich. The decor won't be as nice, but generally speaking you'll get better food for less money.
Go out for breakfast, or go for dessert. Find out which of your favourite places serve dessert, and go for something sweet and coffee or a great cheese plate and glasses of wine.
Eat out less.
But when you do eat out, don't change a thing. Enjoy like you've always had.
So, for example, if your typical tab is $50 and you used to dine out 3x a week. Cut back and dine out only 2x a week, but spend the same and you'll still end up saving $50 (not counting for the money you spend on the meal at home, of course).
re: ipsedixit
Lose the booze and drink iced water instead of more expensive options - save the money (and the calories!) for more important things...
Skip dessert unless it sounds really scrumptious... but if you've got a sweet tooth then share.
Don't choose something that you KNOW you can make better at home... choose something more time-consuming or difficult or expensive, so you feel like you're getting your money's worth.
And if the servings are big enough, don't hesitate to mentally divide your plate in half and take the other half home for tomorrow. (conversely, if you KNOW that a dish will not travel/reheat well and it's going to be far more than you can eat at one time, either share the dish with your dining partner, or choose something else instead.)

New study examines the mystery of SuperAgers and their super memories
BY MONIFA THOMAS Staff Reporter August 16, 2012 6:46PM
Virginia Kenealy plays scrabble with her friend Jack Keefe in her home August 16, 2012. She is considered one of 12 people who are so-called super-agers which means that she scored at or above the norm of 50-65 year-olds on memory screenings. | Tom Cruze
Article Extras
Updated: September 18, 2012 6:17AM
Virginia Kenealy, 84, says she's pretty typical.
The retired secretary likes to go walking in her Oak Park neighborhood, can't get enough Sudoku and she loves going to Colorado and New Hampshire to see her six grandchildren.
But a new study published on Thursday suggests that Kenealy, who is what's known as a SuperAger, is actually unusual — at least when it comes to her brain.
SuperAgers are elderly people in their 80s and older who scored at or above the norm of the 50- and 65-year-olds on memory screenings.
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine have long wondered what it is about SuperAgers that gives them such terrific memories compared to their elderly counterparts.
Thursday's study in the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society has found that the SuperAger participants' brains look as young – and in one brain region, are even bigger – than the brains of middle-aged participants.
Determining what's unique about the brains of SuperAgers could potentially lead to strategies for improving quality of life for the elderly and for combating Alzheimer's disease, said Emily Rogalski, senior author of the study and assistant research professor at the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "Many scientists study what's wrong with the brain, but maybe we can ultimately help Alzheimer's patients by figuring out what goes right in the brains of SuperAgers," Rogalski said.
Dr. Murali Rao, chairman of the department of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at Loyola University Health System who was not involved in the study, agreed that the findings are "significant," because "[if we] put everything together, it will probably help us as we go forward in understanding this [Alzheimer's] disease much better."
Northwestern Medicine recruited SuperAgers from local areas like at community lectures and also through word of mouth, which was how Kenealy learned about it.
The study is based on 3D MRI scans from 12 SuperAgers, 10 normally aging elderly people and 14 middle-aged people.
Researchers couldn't measure the number of brain cells. But based on the thickness of the cortex — the area of the brain where neurons or brain cells reside — they could tell that the SuperAgers had significantly thicker cortex than their age-matched elderly peers and had no significant atrophy compared to the 50- and 65-year-olds. Usually with age, brain cells begin to die, which makes the cerebral cortex thinner.
An unexpected finding was that one area of the brain region — known as the left anterior cingulate cortex — was actually thicker in the SuperAgers than in both the elderly and middle-aged participants.
Rogalski speculated that this thicker area, located near the middle of the brain, may allow SuperAgers to have a particularly keen sense of attention and ability, which in turn makes it easier for them to remember things.
But Rogalski said that more research is needed to figure out how much of SuperAgers can be explained by the pathology of the brain, their lifestyle and their genetics.
"The SuperAgers seem to come from all different walks of life — they don't necessarily all have college degrees, and they may not live pristine lifestyles as far as exercise and diet- some of them are very interested in exercise and diet while others are using a walker or are less active, still others have been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years," Rogalski said.
Most of the SuperAger participants plan to donate their brains to the study, and they will be followed as long as they are alive and willing to participate.
Friends have told Kenealy that she tends to recall details of what they did a long time ago that no one else had remembered. Kenealy said she "likes word games, crossword puzzles and my family…and I played Scrabble a lot. But it wasn't because we were thinking of our brain. We just did it because it was fun."
Other than that, though, Kenealy says she's clueless about what makes her special.
"I really don't know," she said. "I just find life interesting on the whole."
