IMMOKALEE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Florida panther was struck and killed by a vehicle in southwest Florida.
The driver reported the Monday night incident to authorities. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says it was the eighth panther killed by a vehicle this year, compared to 16 in 2010. The panther was a 3- to-4-year-old female without a tracking collar.
Wildlife officials say the driver saw two panthers crossing the road. He missed the first one, but said he couldn't avoid the second.
Overall, this was the 23rd documented panther mortality in 2011.

Fatal Lyrics - Pearl Jam
Review The Song (3)
How good is he? How warm are his eyes?
You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away
To put on his suit and his tie?
How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?
Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
Outright... grounds for dismissal outright...
I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion
I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
When April's in May, oh, uh-oh
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
The answers are fatal
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?
If he's truly out of sight...

Brilliant. If you want to really capture the feel for this song listen to the version on the album "Live at Benaroya Hall".
Simple, haunting and high quality as you expect from Pearl Jam!
chillingly good | Reviewer: EJ | 8/18/2005
I would say that fatal is equal to the dramatism of black. the music, lyrics and especially the way Vedder is giving his unique voice to the song makes it one of the better PJ songs for me
Pearl Jam Bianural outtake track | Reviewer: VKM | 10/23/2004
Great song, lyrics are ok but the music is incredible. I wish they'd put this one on Binaural, because its good enough to have been on it. But,as with songs such as Dirty Frank, Leatherman and Alone, it didn't make it. I'm pleased I heard it on Lost Dogs.

Toward greater equalityFebruary 12,2014The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
Since the Supreme Court struck down the provision in the Defense of Marriage Act denying federal
benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples, the Justice Department has been helping federal agencies change their practices. Now the department is adjusting its own policies and programs, bringing significant advances
for gay couples and American justice.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. on Saturday unveiled a bold effort by his department to eliminate the distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex married couples in the federal justice system. On Monday, he issued a formal policy memo instructing employees that it is the Justice Departments policy to recognize lawful same-sex marriages as broadly as possible and treat all individuals equally regardless of sexual orientation.
What that means in concrete terms, for example, is that in court cases and criminal investigations, same-sex couples will be covered for the first time by the spousal privilege, a rule that prevents spouses from being forced to testify against each other. Same-sex spouses of police officers or firefighters killed or catastrophically injured in the line of duty will be eligible for a special benefits program the Justice Department administers.
Same-sex couples will be recognized by the department when determining eligibility for payments from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, which is for people injured or made ill by the 2001 terrorist attacks. The Federal Bureau of Prisons must grant to federal inmates in same-sex marriages the rights and privileges given other married inmates. That includes equal visitation by a spouse and eligibility for compassionate release or a reduction in a sentence when an inmates spouse becomes incapacitated. In bankruptcy proceedings, the department will encourage judges to allow same-sex married couples to file for bankruptcy jointly. The department will also urge judges to require inclusion of alimony in domestic support obligations exempted from bankruptcy discharge.
These changes are significant both for the lives of thousands of gay and lesbian couples and for advancing acceptance of same-sex relationships on the nations long march toward greater equality.
That is why it was so disappointing, given Holders announcement, that the White House is still hesitating to move forward with another important anti-discrimination measure: barring federal contractors from refusing to hire workers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. President Barack Obamas failure to sign an executive order that would prohibit such discrimination when using taxpayer dollars is a black mark on his record.
Meantime, Michael Sam, a defensive lineman from the University of Missouri football team, has provided further evidence of how things are changing. His brave declaration that he is gay in an interview with John Branch published in The Times on Monday would make him the first openly gay player in the National Football League if he is drafted this spring. Should that happen, it would be yet another gay rights breakthrough.MORE IN CommentaryA book, The Christian Examiner, warns that ill-clad and destitute immigrants are repulsive...

GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB (SLI) -
Page 1 - 512 Introductions
The GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB - NVIDIA Reference
The GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB - Extreme Version - Point of View
2x 7800 GTX 512MB? SLI just got faster.
Products: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB (also SLI)
Point of View Information - pointofview-online.com
NVIDIA - nvidia.com
Price: MSRP 649 USD/EUR
Greetings and salutations my hardware lovin' friends. Yes yes yes, silly season is near. It's getting closer to Christmas and manufacturers are refreshing their product line-ups from top to bottom with new products. ATI recently released their all new XK1 series of graphics cards and NVIDIA.. well NVIDIA just waited to see how ATI's products would perform. NVIDIA figured hah .. we have, performance wise, an answer for any of ATI's new products, so they released a GeForce 6600 256 MB gDDR2 to match ATI's x1300 cards, then they released the magnificent GeForce 6800 GS to match their top mid-range products, and with great success. And today, the answer to ATI's x1800 XT is presented, the GeForce 7800
Ultra GTX 512 MB.
As you can probably understand since it's not that difficult to comprehend, NVIDIA has been observing the competition closely. Today's products will agitate the competition, as it's not "just" an upgrade to 512 MB memory. No .. NVIDIA made the graphics core run so fast it'll make your eyebrows frown. Then, they decided, hmm, what's the absolutely fastest memory we can get ? NVIDIA decided to get the fastest stuff available and implemented it onto that 512MB version. The result? A graphics card that is simply shocking!
This is the fastest graphics card that has ever entered our labs, and it will surely take a while before anyone will beat the performance it is offering. You will see all that today.
So what we are going to do today is have a look at not just one but two GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB cards. One is a reference design from NVIDIA themselves, the other one is a manufacturer (Point of View) release. We (of course) test both cards individually, but also together in SLI mode. Next to that we are going to have a look at how the cards perform on the more affordable AMD 64 Athlon 4000 processor and then replace that processor with a way too expensive Athlon FX-57 processor. By doing this, we will bring you an overview of how important high-end processors are for high-end graphics cards these days. It's actually a necessity if you are opting for SLI. For those that don't know it, with SLI functionality you can bridge two graphics cards in your system and effectively almost double your performance. Two cards render one game.
All in all this should be a very interesting read. My apologies in advance for the length BTW. As usual, we'll really want to show it all to you. This new card is designed primarily with performance in mind, and it makes a well-mannered job of exactly that. Since it's about performance, we'll show you performance in every aspect.
The article will cover the magic, science and figures that the 7800 GTX 512 MB offers both technologically and in terms of features. We'll look at it's specifications, photo's, in-game screenshots, power consumption, HDTV output and decoding performance, overclocking, noise levels, SLI performance and results on two CPU's. Oh and of course we'll run an uberload of generic benchmarks to satisfy your need for performance results.
We have the right to tease and please, right? Let's fire up this fellowship of the cards, and send them into Mordor.

Your child gets on the school bus each morning and you hope they're safe on their way to school.
There are no seat belts on those buses in Augusta County. However, the Loudoun County School Board has voted to put seat belts on all their buses.
Loudoun County School Board member Priscilla Godfrey says, "If the bus is going through an intersection and someone doesn't stop at the red, and T-bones the bus, the compartmentalization features of the bus are not sufficient to keep the children from leaving their seats."
Bill Schindler, head of transportation for Augusta County schools, disagrees with Priscilla Godfrey. He thinks the logistics of having seat belts for so many kids is too much for one bus driver to handle.
Schindler says, "The bus driver goes ahead to drive the bus safely, 60 kids behind that driver. Whose going to go ahead and put those seat belts on each child and make sure they're properly fastened to assure proper safety?"
Augusta County, along with Rockingham County and Harrisonburg city schools, have all considered the idea before, but as Schindler says, there are many things to consider, such as what would happen if there were a fire on a bus in which the kids used seat belts.
Schindler says, "Each one of the bus drivers is assigned a strap cutter. So, you can imagine going through a transit bus with 78 students being fastened, having to go ahead and remove each one of those straps."
Godfrey insists putting seat belts in new buses is in the best interest of Loudoun County students.
She adds, "We just hope that this will become habitual for children and they won't have to think twice about what they are in. They will be looking for the seat belts."
On the other hand, Schindler says all parents in the Valley should know that, although they don't have seat belts, school buses are safer than cars. They sit higher off the ground and have extra padding on the sides of the bus in case of a collision.

Witnessing acts of kindness like the one in the video is heartwarming.
Now, that's not to say everyone who encounters a shark in distress should try to intervene! But the diver who removed the ring from the shark in the video also happens to be a veterinarian, which may have made him confident he could help the shark without putting himself in unnecessary danger.
As the CBS interviewer and divers point out, the shark in the video is a nurse shark.
That's quite a benign sounding name for a species of shark with strong jaws filled with thousands of small, serrated teeth. Actually, nurse sharks are among the most docile creatures in the sea, but are known to bite when provoked.
I'm a certified SCUBA diver, and having a deep appreciation for marine life myself would have been motivated to do the exact same thing, all the while hoping the shark would understand my intentions and not wish to turn on me. I feel it is our responsibility to right the wrongs we create on this Earth whenever and however possible.
That's pretty cool!! It's pretty sad although to see wildlife affected by mans garbage (or toys) this way.

The weather and what the Town of Milton could do better to respond to
a major snowstorm stirred up heavy discussion at the Town's
administration and planning committee meeting last night.
Engineering Director Paul Cripps told councillors it was the worst
snowstorm Milton has seen in five years, dropping about 25 to 35 cms of
snow over the course of Friday.
Even with the snow removal team out during the afternoon before the
storm to salt and sand the roads, he explained, the trucks had a
challenging time keeping up with the snowfall, especially near the end
of the night. The snow stopped falling at about 10 p.m.
"Clearing operations on our local roads started at approximately 7:30
p.m. on Friday evening," said Cripps, explaining that by 10 or 11 p.m.,
most of the fleet had moved off the arterial roads and through
residential streets.
"Local roads were finished up Sunday morning at approximately 1
a.m.," he continued. "That's about 26 hours after the snow stopped so we
did not meet our 24-hour service projection."
While Cripps was pleased with how arterial roads were cleared quickly
and efficiently, he said he was disappointed that the 24-hour timeline
of clearing local roads when the snow stopped falling wasn't met.
He noted the team encountered a few other problems, from which he believes the Town can learn.
He said going through a storm of this magnitude allowed the Town to
reflect on what they could do better should a similar situation arise.
Some of the problems the Town ran into included having a full
voicemail box, with messages from residents asking when their street
would be plowed.
Cripps said the voicemail box only holds 100 messages, and it had to
be cleared twice on Saturday to allow for more messages to be left.
He said he believes the Town could improve on its customer service
levels by creating and emergency snow dispatch team that would man the
phones during a storm in the evenings until 10 p.m. and on weekends from
8 a.m. to 10 p.m., depending on when it hit.
Cripps also suggested having a webpage where residents could fill in a
request to have their specific street plowed, which could be used as
concrete data to identify hot spots and areas of concern.
Having a GPS system in each truck could also help monitor the
progress of each route to ensure all parts of a neighbourhood are
covered and that it's done efficiently.
Members of the committee and other councillors in attendance thanked
Cripps and Town staff for handling the storm so well under the
Ward 8 Councillor Zeeshan Hamid noted Milton's response time to the
storm was much better than other municipalities like Mississauga and
Still he asked what it would take to shorten the 24-hour response time after snow has fallen.
"It depends on what sort of level council wanted to achieve,"
responded Cripps. "It will require more manpower, more equipment.
Without doing a detailed analysis of what we can do and the costs
associated with it if you wanted to do it in half the time, you'd have
to double the fleet."
Mayor Gord Krantz said he received a number of calls from residents,
but the majority of them were understanding about the "trials and
tribulations" when they learned the mayor's street had yet to plowed
"This is Canada eh? You will be inconvenienced by the storms at some
point," he said, cautioning the Town to be cost conscious when looking
to provide a reasonable level of service.
Rick Malboeuf echoed the mayor's comments, adding that he believes
the Town performed well. He didn't receive one complaint from his area
"People understood the situation and realized the problem our staff had," he said.
"I would not want us overreacting to this thing," continued Malboeuf.
"I don't want to use taxpayers money to deal with a problem that may
occur every five years."
Ward 3 Councillor Cindy Lunau asked staff how much a plow would typically cost and how many the Town owns currently.
Cripps said the average plow costs $230,000. The Town has 19 trucks and have under contract another 27 vehicles.
"On top of that, it's not just the vehicles, it's the people behind
the wheel," he said. "There's a whole staff team that goes along with
that as well."
The engineering department has yet to do its debriefing session, but
will meet tomorrow to discuss in more depth how the Town handled the
snow storm.

Written by Joe Scotchie Friday, 09 December 2011 00:00
This Saturday, Dec. 10 will be the Movie Man's final showing for 2011. In fact, it won't be until next April that John Carpenter will be bringing more of his Classic Films to the Bar Harbour Library.
On Dec. 10 at 2 p.m., movie fans will be able to view the Christmas classic, Remember the Night starring Hollywood legends Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray.
"Crying is assured as you'll see how the love for our fellow man is increased at holiday time," Carpenter said. In the film, Brooklyn native Barbara Stanwyck is reduced to petty shoplifting, while turning herself in to MacMurray, an embattled district attorney who puts his career on the line so that Ms. Stanwyck would not have to spend Christmas in jail.
Prior to the film, the ubiquitous Betty Boop will make an appearance with a sing-a-long special for the Christmas season.
Since Carpenter won't be showing films again until the spring and since this year marks his Fifth Anniversary of bringing classic movies to Massapequa, the Movie Man looked back on this successful time in his long film career.
"The happiness that I have brought to so many people gave me the chance to bring good, clean, family entertainment back into their lives," Carpenter told The Massapequan Observer. "It has been an honor that I have lived for. We have brought back unification to an entire community in Long Island."
For the past five years, Carpenter has been bringing long-lost classic films back to life, all to the delight of movie fans from Nassau and Suffolk counties, and from New York City's outer boroughs, too.
The journey started when this Queens native followed his parents out to Long Island to make Massapequa his home. More than that, he has made the village the Classic Films Capital of Long Island, hosting highly popular viewings of movies from Hollywood's Golden Age of the 1930s, all of them complete with the commentary, background, and insight that only he can provide.
Carpenter has spent a lifetime in film. While growing up in Jamaica, Queens, he began collecting old movie in super 8mm and by age 13, he was making ones himself with his friends. At Jamaica High School, he found himself the star of school stage plays and musicals, with teachers declaring he had a voice resembling a mixture of Howard Keel's power and Bing Crosby's vocal personality. After graduating from Queens College, it was off to the big city, where Carpenter was starring in Off Broadway musicals and comedies. At the same time, he still made amateur silent and sound movies that were inspired by the works of men he terms as "America's true Kings of the screen," Charley Chase, Fred Astaire and Buster Keaton.
While his career in Manhattan was taking off, Carpenter's parents moved from Jamaica to Massapequa. Carpenter's latest success was a run of The Bard of Broadway, where he played Shakespeare and wrote much of the musical's score. By now, Carpenter was well on his way to completing his first professionally made and budgeted film. Then fate intervened. Tragedy struck, even though Carpenter would not view the events in such terms. One day, he was in the village, visiting his parents. While waiting on the corner of Broadway and Clark Boulevard to cross the street, two cars slowed down to a stop seeing the green had turned to a yellow light. The first driver halted at the yellow and beckoned John to cross. John stepped into the street but the Mazda behind him was impatient and seeing a still yellow light to go through, zoomed around the stopped car in front of him and plowed into Carpenter, smashing his left leg and causing his head to crash through the windshield, eventually throwing Carpenter across the street.
When the ambulances arrived, Carpenter was in such serious condition, that it appeared one of his legs would have to be amputated. In addition, he suffered such a severe head trauma that he was in a coma for two full months. In all, Carpenter spent five months at Nassau County Medical Center and later at the Southside Hospital, where he recuperated from head injuries.
While in an extended rehabilitation period, Carpenter had his own revelation. Surrounded by people who had suffered similar bad breaks, Carpenter noticed there was no self-pity at all around him, just ordinary people determined to get back, as much as possible, to the business of life. And so, Carpenter acquired the same determination. All that culminated in new bursts of creativity. His first film on the comeback trail was Late to Lunch, an independent film that he completed in the basement of his parent's Massapequa Park home. Carpenter would drag his disabled body to the basement to complete the editing of his movie and with the help of his father, Carpenter, when he was able to walk again, went into the city to once again utilize his contacts he had made to help his film to be shown theatrically. Late to Lunch was a silent comedy made in the style that predominated in the 1920s. The film found a helpful fan in the person of longtime television legend Joe Franklin. The two became friends and Franklin regularly invited Carpenter to appear in his popular WOR radio show. Not only that, Franklin volunteered to serve as the host of Carpenter's second theatrical masterpiece and award-winning documentary, Smelling Like A Rose.
This effort was inspired by Carpenter's recovery from his accident and the rewards found in living each day. Now, Carpenter travels throughout both Nassau and Suffolk counties, where he lectures before rehab support groups, brain injury associations and any other venue where uplifting stories are needed to inspire recovering patients.
For that work and for his ongoing movie viewings at libraries not only in Massapequa, but also in East Meadow and Lindenhurst, Rep. Peter King awarded Carpenter with a Congressional citation for not only rising above adversity, but for showing that laughter and faith in oneself truly is the best medicine.
Both State Assemblyman Joseph Saladino and Nassau County Legislature Peter J. Schmitt have also recognized Carpenter's role as a cultural ambassador.
"You are providing an excellent service to the community in showing these films," Schmitt recently wrote. "In a time where big budgets and special effects dominate the movies, it is nice to go back to a period where a good script, inspired acting, and excellent cinematography ruled the screen."
Today, libraries in Long Island are now packed with movie fans, as Carpenter imparts an encyclopedic knowledge of Hollywood's Golden Age, reminding viewers young and old that sensationalism is not what is needed to make a movie a hit. For John Carpenter, it appears that the best is yet to be.

What's New...
Featured Article
Weighty, reliable and high-performance, this is the Bugatti of cheese graters. It was designed by Enrico Ratti, who worked as a carpenter for a wealthy family near Castagneto, Italy, at the turn of the century. He fell in love with their daughter, Luisa, and when the family rebuffed his marriage proposal, the couple eloped to the U.S. They found that America lacked many tools for cooking with Italian ingredients, so Enrico designed this countertop grater to handle their beloved hard cheeses. This Acacia model is the modern version of his design—outfitted with a foot that stabilizes it on the counter, a drawer for catching the cheese, and two dynamically sharp blades that either shred your Parmigiano-Reggiano or grind it to a snowy powder. It never leaves our counter, and it should have a home on yours, too.

Shop Local to Win!
Nov 18, 2014
For Thanksgiving weekend, Peoria County and the City of Peoria are launching their collaborative new buy local campaign that encourages people to "Live & Shop Peoria County" and "Live & Shop Peoria." With the assistance of the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, over forty local businesses are sponsoring the Thanksgiving campaign by donating a $25.00 gift card and offering Small Business Saturday specials on November 29. Gift card packages of $100 will be awarded to Peoria County (and City) residents who shop any business in Peoria County between November 27 - 30.
To enter to win, residents must post a photo of themselves shopping at a Peoria County business over Thanksgiving weekend on their personal Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram page with the name of the business and the hashtag #LiveShopPeoriaCounty. While residents may enter the contest by shopping any business in Peoria County, sponsoring businesses are featured in the attached shopping guide and promotional flyer, as well as on the "Live & Shop Peoria/County" Facebook page at www.fb.com/LiveShopPeoriaCounty and Metro Peoria's website (click here). Local businesses are added to the Facebook page and website as more register to participate.
"Live & Shop Peoria/County" encourages local residents to purchase goods and services from their neighbors - local business owners - year round and particularly over the busy holiday shopping season. By shopping in Peoria County and the City of Peoria, our local economy is fortified - with increased job opportunities and fewer business closings - and sales tax dollars continue to support local government and vital public services such as law enforcement, fire protection, public works, and more.

Why, it's the Second Life Chapter, Association of Professional Genealogists' (APG) Christmas party, of course!
WHEN: Thursday, December 8, 2011, 5:30 p.m. SLT (Second Life Time, same as Pacific Time)
WHERE: Second Life, near the Just Genealogy Firepit
DRESS: Formal, or anything Christmas-y or holiday-ish.
This is not what I'll be wearing to the party because, as you can see, I'm up to my knees in snow here, and it's much too cold for party clothes!
The SL-APG Chapter is an officially recognized chapter which promotes the highest standards of ethics and professionalism in the genealogical field at the regional level.
The chapter meets monthly using a free, social media, "virtual world" software called Second Life. It was organized to meet the networking needs of APG members who either do not have a local chapter near them, or are unable to attend their chapter meetings.
Anyone with an interest in genealogy is welcome to attend the meetings; however, official members of the chapter must be real life, dues-paying members of the APG.
I am thrilled to tell you that I was recently elected Vice President of the chapter, and I can't wait to get started next year!
So... if you've been looking for a reason to check out what those genealogists in Second Life are up to - and they're really quite busy - here you go!
To learn more about genealogy activities in Second Life, please visit the Genealogists in Second Life group on Facebook. Don't be shy. It's not hard, and there are lots of people available to help you. Like me, for instance.

Kaylyn John Stewart, 22, of Fairfield, was taken into custody following a brief pursuit with officers that began on a bike and ended with a foot chase in the 500 block of Webster Street, according to the Fairfield Police Department.
A short time earlier, at 10:15 a.m., officers responded to investigate a report of "suspicious people" causing a disturbance in an alley in the 900 block of Ohio Street. While they were en route, they spotted a black male riding a bicycle who matched the clothing description of one of the people said to be involved in the disturbance. Officers attempted to stop the subject, later identified as Stewart, in the 300 block of Jefferson Street, but he tried to escape police and ignored commands to stop.
Officers pursued Stewart down through the neighborhood and down residential streets to the 700 block of Delaware Street, where he jumped off his bike and tried to make his escape on foot, police said. As he ran, Stewart allegedly reached into the front of his waistband where he grabbed and tossed a loaded .38 caliber pistol, which was later recovered.
He was quickly taken into custody on Webster Street. At the time of his arrest, Stewart, who was on parole for robbery, was clutching a number of unexpended .38 caliber bullets, police said.
Stewart was booked into the Solano County jail on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a loaded firearm, evading arrest, resisting arrest, and parole violation, police said.

Merlin (2004) Fantasy Movie Review
Fantasy movies Review
What kind of guy was the wizard Merlin, anyway? He lives a long time, raises a boy to be a king, props up a Utopian empire with his magic and wisdom, and then watches as it all crumbles under such banal forces as vengeance and betrayal. This four-hour miniseries re-tells the story of Camelot and King Arthur from the perspective of the magic man who sacrifices a great deal to guide mortals toward a better destiny. Sam Neill plays Merlin as an accessible, flesh-and-blood fellow of real passion, powerless to undo the spell of a rival (Rutger Hauer) who has virtually imprisoned Merlin's great love, Nimue (Isabella Rossellini), but gifted enough to counter the treachery of Morgan Le Fey (Helena Bonham Carter) and the wicked Queen Mab (Miranda Richardson). The battle sequences and special effects are striking and original, and it is great fun to see such art-house movie actors as Richardson, Carter, Neill, etc., in fantasy entertainment the whole family can enjoy. (An unrecognizable Martin Short must be singled out, however, for a wonderful, largely dramatic performance as Mab's sidekick, Frik.) Directed by Steve Barron (The Adventures of Pinocchio), Merlin is a nice bit of glossy revisionism of a beloved legend. —Tom Keogh

List of places to take me to to give to my husband
SOmetimes, I want HIM to plan a fun and nice meal out. Every single time, he wants to go to Rahel or Woodlands
Don't get me wrong, I love these places, but now and again, I'd like to be surprised with something different.
I love all sort of food, (can't eat thai or vietnamese for fear of nut contamination!) like to eat any meal out, and can go for any price range. I really really hate crappy service. I'm not scared of holes i the wall or exotic stuff, as long as there are no nuts or peanuts! Tripe? Sure! Tongue? Why not! Feet? OK! The only thing I don't think I'd eat is eyeball. Oh, and oysters. Those guys are in league with the nuts.
So, gang, if you were Diana's hubby, where would you go. Let's make it easier, lets set some categories, and two or three places to go for each, do one category, or all, or some, however many you feel like filling out.:
Diner Breakfast:
Nice Buffet Breakfast:
Road Trip Lunch (within an hour of SFV or so)
Romantic, upscale dinner (I've been to PRovidence and Spago):
BEst Italian:
Wine themed:
Fun for all:
Hamburger besides FO-big, juicy, interesting toppings:
Seafood Bonanza:
Milk Shake:
Apple Pie (NOT Apple pan, please, and no nuts!):
French (could include fancy or creperies or whatever):
Crazy weird:
Tea, anyone?:
INdian Snacks and Lunchy things:
Eagle Rock (I want to live there):
The Hubby's in trouble and needs to fix it, fast!:
Take the dog:
again, a suggeston in one, a few, or whatever is so highly appreciated. He's just needing a little help thinking of CHowish and new places. I will be forever thankful!
For any of the following categories ...
Road Trip Lunch (within an hour of SFV or so)
Romantic, upscale dinner (I've been to PRovidence and Spago):
Wine themed:
Fun for all:
French (could include fancy or creperies or whatever):
The Hubby's in trouble and needs to fix it, fast!:
If my SO was in trouble and wanted to make up with me, I would probably demand dinner or at least a weekend brunch at the Ranch House in Ojai.
Foodwise it may not be on par with the major LA foodie meccas, but you will be guaranteed a very pleasant meal in a gorgeous outdoor setting. RSVPs are a must, esp. on weekends, since they are often closed for private events in the summer.
Ranch House
500 W Lomita Ave, Ojai, CA 93023
re: maxzook
looksa nice! I like Ojai, too. how is it compared to Aubergine (sp)?
re: Diana
I think you must be referring to L'Auberge (the nearest Aubergine I could find on Google is in Balboa). To tell the truth, Ranch House is the only fancy restaurant I've ever been to in Ojai.
Reading the Irene Virbila LA Times review of L'Auberge, I can see similarities. I suspect L'Auberge has a more au courant menu ... Ranch House is the kind of place that features menu items that haven't changed in thirty years (cf two of my faves, wild mushroom strudel and the "New Orleans delight" dessert). The price range seems to be about the same.
The photo of the outdoor deck at L'Auberge reminds me of the Ranch House gestalt. Almost all the seating at Ranch House is outdoors, and several of the prime tables are semi-secluded in the walking garden.
One last note: If you've never been to Ranch House, bring a map or a GPS. It's not so much that it's hard to find as that it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and I always feel like I've taken a wromg turn just as I'm about to get there ...
Times review of L'Auberge:
re: maxzook
That's the place! Thanks!
re: mollyomormon
all sound yummy!
I suggest you do what I do...everytime I run across a place that piques my interest here on the board, I write it down in my planner (Palm, iphone, hello kitty, whatever you have) with the general location and then when P. gives me that blank stare, I just pull out the 'list'.
re: ElissaInPlaya
Well that stare comes from knowing Subway won't do in this situation though that is what I feel like at the moment.
Take Care
re: Dommy
I use outlook contact to keep track of to-try places.Or you can build a google map of lists of places to try and share the link with hubbie.
For suggestions - Craft for upscale, Original Tops at Pasadena for a good burger. Have you try any of the asian bakeries like JJ's? On my list to try for french/breakfast food is the newly opened Anisette at Santa Monica. Maybe combine a Farmer's Market visit with that.
For out of town chow, we head up to either Santa Barbara or SF/Napa.
re: notmartha
My Husband's Family lives in SB. When we go up, I end up at the Brewhouse, since he is a beer geek. That, or any of the beer spots. I'm lucky if I get to the shellfish co. It's depressing-so many places up there I want to go, but their combined power shouts me down. Momma stand behind her boy, as does Pop, Sis and so on.
Diner Breakfast:
Road Trip Lunch (within an hour of SFV or so):
Sushi Gen in Little Tokyo
H&C Seafood in Oxnard [can also take the dog]
Malibu Seafood
Din Tai Fung for soup dumplings in Arcadia
A number of places in Monterey Park
BEst Italian:
Pizzaria Mozza
Osteria Mozza
Wine themed:
Max or Saddlepeak Lodge?
Fun for all:
Seafood Bonanza:
H & C Seafood
Malibu Seafood
The Hubby's in trouble and needs to fix it, fast!:
Ruth Chris (if you are into steaks)
Go's Mart
Take the dog:
See above
Diner Breakfast: Not really a diner, but NY Bagel on San Vicente in Brentwood (and they allow dogs on the patio!)
Nice Breakfast Buffets: For Sunday brunch, the best I've had are Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey and Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
Road Trip Lunch: I know it's not LA (so this post may be deleted), but La Super Rica in Santa Barbara. If you can go a little further, Cold Springs Tavern in Santa Ynez has outdoor BBQ tri tip on either Saturdays or Sundays (but you can't bring your dog)-- then stop in Solvang to visit a bakery. Also, if you want an early road trip dinner, Hitching Post in Buellton.
Wine themed: AOC, Valentino
Burgers: I think the best one is Houston's--worth the drive from the valley IMHO.
Seafood: King's Fish House in Calabasas, Ocean Ave. Seafood in Santa Monica, Water Grill downtown.
French: Melisse, Mimosa
Bring your dog: 3 Square Cafe in Venice, and as posted above, NY Bagel in Brentwood. I love to take my dog to NY Bagel and then take San Vicente to the end, park anywhere on what I think is Ocean Ave., and walk along the grass.
Diner Breakfast:
S&W Country Diner
Pann's (if you make it over toward LAX)
Gaffey Street Diner
Mickey's Fine Pharmacy (diner/counter eating in BH)
Nice Buffet Breakfast:
i Cugini

re: mollyomormon
their sunday buffet includes all the typical breakfast (eggs, potatoes, meats) fixings plus seafood (crab legs, shrimp, etc.) as well as salads and a lovely dessert bar. mimosas are part of it too i believe. forget if it's saturday AND sunday or just sunday. i know we did father's day there last year or the year before...
I only have a few minutes so I'll include some quick picks. Girly, Scarlett Tea Room in Pasadena. Tea or lunch (I think the lunch is great) also open for dinner. Beaujolias (french) in E.R for dinner, also Auntie Em in E.R has amazing baked goods, cupcakes, pies. The York in Highland Park has a good burger(with harissa sauce) and the fries are REALLY good. Craftsman beers on tap. I double Cold Stone Tavern as I wonderful place to go for a weekend drive/lunch. Plus you can do some tastings in Santa Ynez after (or before).
Cliffs Edge in Silverlake is a magical spot to feel like your out of the city, good for lunch/dinner. Descanso Gardens is doing a very Asian styled tea service , back in the Tea house. Worth checking out. Good Luck and have fun!
re: gordita
For some reason, he hates the Cold Stone Tavern. Again, he's a Santa Barbarian, so he has had experience of going there. he loathes it.
I've been curious about Beaujolais.

Emergency Public Water Use Restrictions Lifted
Annapolis, MD (June 6, 2006) - Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens announced that the Anne Arundel County Department of Public has lifted the mandatory emergency water restrictions.
The Department of Public Works identified a major loss of water from the public system at the Maryland Correctional Facility in Jessup last week. State and County officials worked together to identified and repair the problem, and this morning DPW lifted the enhanced emergency restrictions.
County Executive Owens reminds residents that even though the emergency restrictions are lifted, the mandatory and voluntary restrictions put in place May 3, 2006 will still remain in effect until October 1, 2006.
"While it is unfortunate that these restrictions are necessary, it is critical that our public water customers heed them so that adequate water is on-hand for basic needs and fire protection," said Ms. Owens.
The restrictions, now in place, impact residents and businesses in the northwest and northeast sections of Anne Arundel County. Public water customers in the following zip codes will be subject to mandatory water use restrictions: 20724, 20701, 20794, 21076, 21090, 21077, 21225, 21240, 21061, and 21144. Public water customers in the following zip codes will be subject to voluntary water use restrictions: 21226, 21060 and 21122.
While most of the public drinking water in Anne Arundel County is supplied from wells within the county, DPW does depend on water from Baltimore City to supplement the demand. Although DPW continues to build alternate water transmission lines to reduce this dependency, approximately 10 million gallons of water a day is fed to Anne Arundel County through a 72" line under the Key Bridge and a 54" line near Nursery Road.
In January, DPW was notified by Baltimore County that the 54" water main that supplies water to the northwest section of Anne Arundel County was being taken out of service for a maintenance inspection.
As a result of this inspection, Baltimore County officials have determined that significant deterioration exists in their line and, in order to avoid a catastrophic failure, the line will remain out of service for perhaps the next year so that permanent replacement pipe can be installed.
Up until this point, DPW has been able to make available adequate water supplies from other County water sources with perhaps only some minor changes in water pressure in the northwest section of the County. However, now that the summer season is here and outdoor demand for water reaches its peak, restrictions must be followed. The purpose of the restrictions is to maintain adequate water supplies for basic customer needs and public safety including fire protection.
While the restrictions are expected to remain in effect through October 1, 2006, DPW officials are working aggressively to install temporary lines and pumping stations to supplement the water supply to west county. These efforts may result in the easing of restrictions later in the summer.
The restrictions, both mandatory and voluntary, will be in effect Monday through Thursday, 5:00 p.m. until midnight and Friday, beginning at 5:00 p.m. through midnight Sunday and all day on holidays.
Businesses within the restricted area are asked to implement a 10% water reduction plan. Residents within the restricted area may water plants and gardens with hand-held cans or hoses with automatic shut-off nozzle and may wash cars at a commercial facilities, but may not do the following during the restricted times:
The mandatory water use restrictions will be enforced by local law enforcement officials. Penalties may include fines and violators are subject to the disconnection of their public water supply. Violations should be referred to the Anne Arundel County Police at (410) 222-8610. The public should not call 911 for a water use restriction violation.
The public is encouraged to view Update Anne Arundel County for further information from County Executive Janet S. Owens and the Department of Public Works on Public Access and Government Channel 98.

Yesterday, we looked at data from 2004 to 2012 to examine income and expenditure trends for Canadian universities, and found that salary and operating budgets were both moving up at a pace of around 4.4% per year in real dollars. Today, I want to do a bit of scenario planning for the country's two largest provinces using the same technique of focussing just on operating grants, tuition, and salaries.
Ontario sits in between two divergent trends – real public funding has been stable or declining for many years, while tuition revenue has been increasing by about 8% per year, thanks mainly to the influx of international students. As a result, since 2009, operating budgets have been increasing by 3.8% per year, which has been enough to deal with salary mass rises of 3.9% per year.
But can Ontario keep up that pace? We're already at the start of a phase where domestic enrolments are declining, and at best government income is going to decrease by about 1% per year in real terms (according to the government's own budget papers, future increases will be 1%, less than the recent norm of 2%). So a best guess at what's going to happen is that government income trajectory will remain negative, and the 8% per year budget increases will start to trail off somewhat. If this happens – and of course this still depends on ever-increasing international student numbers, which is by no means assured – then current levels of salary mass increases can be tolerated.
But what if things don't go as planned? What if international student numbers don't offset losses from declining domestic student numbers? What if the Wynne government decides to make one significant cut (say, 5%) in budgets this year to finally get the deficit under control, now that they have a majority government? In this case, assuming no change in salary mass trajectory, salaries would rise to 82% of combined operating grant and tuition, from 76% today. That may not sound like much, but let me turn those words around and phrase it another way: in order to accommodate current levels of growth in the salary budget, in a pessimistic scenario, the non-salary portion of the operating budget – light, heat, scholarships, lab supplies, etc. – would need to be cut by 25%.
Figure 1: Budget Scenarios for Ontario, 2012-13 to 2017-18
So the quick summary here is: If you want salary mass increases to continue, find ways to bring those foreign students in. Otherwise, you either have to accept massive cuts to non-salary areas or a cut in salary growth.
The situation in Quebec is both more straightforward and more problematic than in Ontario. There, the government has already signalled it will cut funds in nominal terms next year in order to balance the budget. The only question is what happens afterwards – and I have assumed here that spending will rise again at the rate of projected GDP growth. Tuition revenue growth was never as high in Quebec (5% per year in real terms) as it was in Ontario, as Quebec doesn't attract as many international students – there is no obvious reason to think this will change. On the other side of the ledger, salaries as a percentage of total income is 87% of combined government grants and tuition, compared to 76% in Ontario (if you're wondering why Quebec universities feel poorer than Ontario ones, there's your answer right there). You can come up with other scenarios, of course, but most plausible ones look worse than this.
Put these factors together and you get a pretty ugly picture. Operating budgets are simply not likely to grow much in the short term, so even a continuation of current salary trends – a 2% real increase per year, or about half what it is in Ontario – would mean salaries rising from 87% of income to 91.4% of income. Meaning, in short, that without a change in salary policy, Quebec universities would have to cut a third of their non-salary budget in order to make ends meet.
Figure 2: Budget Scenario for Quebec, 2012-13 to 2017-18
Whichever way you look at it, the numbers are ugly. Compression of salary mass seems almost inevitable in Quebec; for Ontario to avoid the same requires institutions to continue a not-necessarily-sustainable trend of enrolling ever-increasing proportions of international students.
Tomorrow, we'll get out of central Canada and see how things stack up elsewhere.

Is it a good thing if a guy is flattered you like him?
I had a crush on my guy friend for a year and this fall I told him I liked him and know he doesn't feel the same way, but I had to get it off my chest. He was REALLY shocked, didn't know what to say, and smiling. He repeated to me that he was flattered and when I said again that I know he doesn't feel the same way he said, no, it's not that. I like you, then later added, as a friend. But he broke up with his long time girlfriend 6 months ago and still isn't ready to date again. We left with talking about school and stuff and he said we should def. hang out more. He didn't say he liked me and he didn't say he doesn't like me, so should I just take it that he has no feelings for me at all? Why would a guy say this?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I've had a girl do the EXACT same thing to me.He's flattered that you have feelings for him. But he's just not into you like that. And you may never have given him that kind of vibe, so your confession of feelings for him totally caught him WAY off guard because it seems like this confession came completely out of nowhere.There was a girl that I went to school with a while back. I had like one class with her, and we'd only talk in that class when a group of people were talking. Outside of class, we never really talked. She was pretty much a distant classmate from school.Anyway, she told me that she had a HUGE crush on me and had for most of the year. I was SO totally flattered. It was so incredibly sweet, the things she said to me, I effing melted.But I just wasn't into her like that. And it wasn't due to anything superficial. She wasn't bad looking either. She actually models now. I just know that we were two very different people with very different morals. I felt like any relationship I tried to establish would result in her being unhappy and either trying to change herself against her will for me, or vice versa. While I would love to be with someone who really admired me the way she did, I don't really think she knew what she would have been getting herself into by being with me and I think she grew to realize that as she got to know me a little better.But I did tell her that we need to hang out more. And we did, a lot. I felt that if someone could find so much to like about me, they're someone I definitely someone I want to keep around and not just blow off. We became very good friends and we still hang out.But basically, your boy's flattered, but doesn't see you as a potential love affair and probably won't. Sorry sweetie. But if you're willing to move beyond that, he'll make a great friend. Just think, a guy friend that won't fall for you.
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 2
Sweetie, it is always nice to hear someone likes you/loves you. It is flattering. Here is a thing of advice I'm going to give you. Don't try too hard. If you try too hard to be in a relationship, and over think things, it will never happen, or if it does, it will be a mess. Don't find love, let love find you. That'swhy it's called falling in love, becauseyou don't force yourself to fall, you justdo.Just hang out with him. Who knows, the more you guys hang out as friends, the better of a chance you'll have as a couple later down the road. Hope this helps!
I just told my guy frirend last night that I liked him.He said, no, he liked me as a friend. I was totally upset, cried my eye out.Well, I think this is it. I think he was just trying to be nice that's why he asked you to hang out with him more. How could we gilrs do that after the rejection. I don't think I'm nice enough to hang out with my guy friend again though.

Our 3 for $30 eyeshadow collections have been a big hit, but Great for Green Eyes is especially popular. The shadows in this collection work for all eye colors, but have the power to make almost-green eyes take on a more emerald hue, and make truly green eyes dazzling.
This beautiful set includes Luminous Shimmer Shadow in Lana, Satin Matte Shadow in Lilac and Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner in Carnevale. Here, we are showing the collection on Hannah, whose eye color shifts between blue and green. On the day we did the shoot, her eyes were looking particularly blue, but the collection definitely made them look more green. We applied Lana from lashes to brow with the #37 Blending Brush, then applied Lilac on her lid with the #36 Pointed Crease Brush. (It's compact bristles give great color pay-off!) We lined with Carnevale on a damp #31 Fine Lining Brush.
To finish the look, we used a bit of Satin Matte Blush in Mimosa and Organic Nourishing Lip Balm in Sweet Pea.
Our makeup artists often receive questions about selecting the right eyeshadows for various eye colors. We have written several blog posts about great shades for different eye colors, which you can find here, here and here. But we know that people love to buy our Limited Edition collections. Combining that knowledge with the questions, we came up with the idea of 3 for $30 eyeshadow sets.
To make things very simple, our first three are designed to be perfect for blue eyes, brown eyes and green eyes. These 3 for $30 collections will be changing every six to eight weeks, and won't always be based on eye color, but sometimes on things like pastels, brights or the perfect smoky eye. For the remainder of 2012, and beyond if our customers like them, we will have several of these sets available at any time. We hope they make your shopping easier!
The Brilliant for Brown Eyes collection features Luminous Shimmer Eyehadow in Opal, Satin Matte Eyeshadow in Putty and Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner in Nuit. These soft neutrals work for any eye color, but are especially beautiful on brown eyes, as you can see on our employee Devries. We applied Opal all over her eye area from lashes to brow, then applied Putty on the lid and in the crease. We lined with Nuit on a damp #33 Angle Liner Brush, and swirled the tiniest bit of Nuit at the outer corner of her eye and slightly into the crease. This simple look is great for every day, and we finished the look with Satin Matte Blush in Pink and Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Sweet Pea. To take the eyeshadows in a more dramatic direction, apply the Opal with a damp brush, use Putty to only contour the crease, and use more liner, winging the ends up and out.
The response to our 2 for $12 on select eyeshadow shades has been so overwhelming that we decided to extend it through the weekend. A couple of shades have sold out, so we have replaced them with two different shades.
The sale now includes Satin Matte Eyeshadows in Fawn, Chamomile, Dove, Rain, Bayou, Chestnut, Sand and Juniper. Pearlusters in the sale are Sky, Platinum, Cimarron, Viola and Toffee; and Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadows in Aria, Dream, Gold Dust, Hyacinth, Mirage, Moss, Ombra, Pyrite, Sienna and Navy. Finish your look with a Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner in Koan or Maya.
Resolve to add some color to your life by broadening your eyeshadow collection! Select eyeshadows and liners are on sale now through January 5, 2 for $12. (Regularly priced at $11 each.)
This year's sale includes Satin Matte Eyeshadows in Aloe, Chamomile, Dove, Rain, Bayou, Chestnut, Sand and Wedgwood. Pearlusters at the special price are Sky, Platinum, Cimarron, Viola and Toffee; Luminous Shimmer Eyeliners included in the sale are Maya and Koan. If shimmer is more your thing, choose from Aria, Dream, Gold Dust, Hyacinth, Mirage, Moss, Ombra, Pyrite, Sienna and Navy.
Want to bring out your baby-blues? Try Satin Matte Chamomile as your base shade with Luminous Shimmer Gold Dust or Satin Matte Sand on your lid. Emphasize your crease with Luminous Shimmer Pyrite and line with Koan. For a more subtle look, use Sand as your base, Pearluster Toffee on your lid and line with Satin Matte shadow in Chestnut.
To bring out the green in your eyes, use Luminous Shimmer Hyacinth as your base, Pearluster Viola on the lid and a touch of Luminous Shimmer Ombra or Aria at the outer corner of the eye. Line with Koan or your outer corner color. For an alternate look, try Satin Matte Aloe as a base, Luminous Shimmer in Moss or Satin Matte Bayou in the crease and line with Maya.
And if you are a brown-eyed girl, use Luminous Shimmer Dream as a highlight shade under your brow, and put Satin Matte Wedgwood or Pearluster Sky on your lid. Smudge Luminous Shimmer Navy into your crease and use it damp as your liner. For a more every-day brown-eyed look, use Dream as a base on the entire lid, use Luminous Shimmer Sienna or Pearluster Cimarron on the outer 1/3 of the lid and blended into the crease and line with more Sienna.
You have probably been told that when you apply your makeup, you need to pick either warm or cool colors and stick to them for your entire face. While that isn't bad advice, there are exceptions to the rule, and conveniently, our Cold Outside and Warm Inside collections contain some of the very best shades with which to break the rules!
Justine is wearing shades from both Cold Outside and Warm Inside. We started with her Beige 4 foundation. We brushed Rosy Cheeks form the Cold Outside collection on the apples of her cheeks.
On her eyes, we applied Candlelight from the Warm Inside Collection from lashes to brows. On her lids, we applied Mulled Cider, also from Warm Inside. Then we used a damp #33 Angle Liner Brush to line her upper lid with Jack Frost from Cold Outside, winging the liner at the outer corner just a bit. When you are thinking of mixing warms and cools, remember that golden shades look especially beautiful with blues and purples.
We finished the look with a light dusting of shimmer powder Fire Light from Warm Inside on the tops of her cheekbones, and shined her lips with Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Mango. Who knew breaking rules could be so pretty?
You've seen Cold Outside on a real person, and now here is Warm Inside on Jessica!
We started with her foundation, Beige 2. Then we applied Candlelight from her lashes to her brows and Mulled Cider on her lids. We brushed Hot Toddy into the crease, and concentrated a little bit at the outer corner of her eye, then applied it with a damp #33 brush along her upper lashes. A touch of Satin Matte Eyeshadow in Raven filled in her brows.
We swept Firelight Luminous Shimmer Powder along the tops of Jessica's cheekbones with the #23 Kitten Brush, and dusted what remained on the brush across her forehead. We added a touch of Satin Matte Blush in Pink to the apples of her cheeks, and finished the look with a sheer layer of Organic Nourishing Lip Balm in Sweet Pea.
I recently used up an entire Alima Pure eyeshadow. If you own any of our shadows, you know that this is not all that easy to do! The shadows last a long time, to say the least. But Gazelle Luminous Shimmer Shadow has overtaken all other shadows as my "go-to." When you wear an eyeshadow daily, it does eventually run out!
What is it about Gazelle that makes it so perfect? Well, for me at least, everything! The shade, a soft beige that is not too far from my natural skin tone (Beige 2). But what makes it really special is the shimmer. It's not sparkly like some of the other Luminous Shimmer Shadows, but it is not pearly like a Pearluster. It is just the right amount of shimmer to brighten up my eye area without looking inappropriate for my age.
If your skin is more of a neutral or cool, and maybe slightly deeper, Chai Luminous Shimmer Shadow may end up being the "go-to" shade for you. I just used it on a Neutral 5 today, and the effect was similar to Gazelle on my skin, and it was beautiful! If you have darker skin, Palomino Luminous Shimmer Shadow would fit the bill for you.
And here's a little good news, if you happen to be looking for an entire set that is perfect for every day, our Simply Perfect Collection is available on the website for a limited time only. It contains my favorite Gazelle, but also Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Tigereye and Satin Matte Blush in Pink. It is a great set for daily wear or as a gift to introduce someone to the wonders of Alima Pure mineral cosmetics!
