Why Are Most Restaurant Reviews So Mixed?
Is it me or do most readers find that there are such wide discrepancies among the reviews? I just finished reading recent reviews on Mama Melrose and BOG and cannot find any real consensus of opinions. Some say it was the best meal they had, others got sick or walked out, service was great, service sucked......wow! How can anyone make logical choices? Are there no tried and true consistent choices out there?
I have to make ADR's soon for 10 people and the more I read the more I sense your best chance for a decent meal at any average restaurant on the DDP is 50%. We're not looking for gourmet......just a good meal for the price we are paying. Is that impossible to ask for?
Reading all of these very inconsistent reviews is really making me ask if the DDP is worth it!

I just think some folks are picky or hard to please. We've eaten very few bad meals at Disney & had very few times with bad service.
Tusker House lunch this last time we had poor service but every other time it has been great. Once at Ohana we had that rushed feel & poor service but all the other 5 or 6 times it was excellant!
We've only marked one place off our list though the years & will never, ever repeat it. It was because we hated the food there...but lots of folks love it. To us the seasonings were just icky...was Tangerine Grill I think it is called , a CS.
We tried Chef Mickey's this last time at breakfast & it gets lots of poor reviews. We loved it! Service & food & characters were awesome!
Some places are more special & the food better... such as Calif Grill, Flying Fish, Teppon Edo, & Ohana supper. But, we've dined at majority of the restaurants at Disney now & most are just pretty good!
I really think if you like the sound of the meal...you most likely will be happy with most places you dine at. At least we find it that way. And if it is a really, really hard place to get a ADR for... even if people complain about it alot... most likely it is popular for some reason. (Like LeCellier, Ohana & Chef Mickey's)

Some of the issue is that different people have different tastes. People also have different expectations. Disney is also always changing staff, so one person make get a cm who has been there for years and someone else may get someone who just started yesterday. Pick a place based on a menu that fits your family. Decor you find interesting and or characters you would like to see.
In my family we have people who like spicy and those who don't. Some love indian and others can't stand it. Try not to stress and think about what best suits you. Even if it turns out to be a bad meal there is always someplace else around the corner that will have something you will love.

I agree with the PP. It is just that people have different tastes and expect different experiences. My family has almost always had really good meals at Disney. We are trying BOG for the first time this summer. I know it has mixed reviews, but I think you just have to form your own opinion. Some of my favorites are Ohana's for dinner, Tusker House for lunch, and 1900 Park Fare for the Cinderella Dinner with Cinderella, Prince Charming, Stepsisters and the Stepmother.

Remember that reviews are more often written if someone has a strong feeling...especially a negative feeling.
I have been to Disney 3 times and never went hungry!
I pick places for the atmosphere that appeals to us and I go in expecting food to be on par with a local chain.

You've got folks who like to enjoy a night out at Applebee's and you've got folks who like to enjoy high tea at the Ritz Carlton. Expectations differ greatly.

Seven most recent reviews of Mama Melrose. I know everyone has different tastes but if I were reading these reviews about a restaurant in my home town I would most likely take a pass.....wouldn't you?
We did the MM Fantasmic package during our last trip and loved it. The calamari was delicious as were the steak and the chicken parm. DDs loved it too! In fact, it is the one place that DH has requested we get an ADR for during our upcoming trip.
I know the OP already went but I will add my review. We went the second week of December for lunch and it was amazing. A few people ad the sirloin and it was the best I have ever tasted. We had a party of 10 and the waiter handed us beautifully. My mom is a chef and now is a manager for a national chain so she tends to be a tough customer and she was happy. It was the best meal we ate especially after a member of our party got food poisoning at TRex (confirmed at urgent care) so we felt we were due for a good meal!
We ate here for the first time during the week between Christmas and New Year's. I loved the atmosphere...and food was okay, nothing exceptional. But the service wasn't very good. Our waitress seemed to be confused. First she told us that TIW was blacked out the whole week. I suggested she double check, since I'd been using it all week, and she fought me! Eventually, she did check and apologized. Then one our pizzas came out wrong, but she didn't deliver it, someone else did, and we had to track her down. She took back the wrong one and promised to bring us the correct one...but we were completely done eating before we ever saw her again.
Overall impression: meh.
Or, as my 10 year old nephew said as we left: "Okay food. Bad service. I'll give it half-a thumb up."
we had lunch here on Jan 12th and it was one of the best meals I had at disney. I had the charred strip steak and it was delicious, the mac n cheese that came with it was great too. Husband had the chicken parm, which he liked, but liked my food better. Kids had cheese pizza which was several stripes above the bread-y little pizzas you get elsewhere in the parks. They enjoyed them. I will be going back here!
Worst food/service in WDW. Couldn't stomach it, was rushed out, chef never came to our table to go over food with us (food allergy). Will never eat there again.
We really like it! Have always had great service at Mama's. We try to get there on every trip...our upcoming trip being no exception. Our faves are the strip steak, calamari, carne d'italia flatbread, chix parm and the amarettini cheesecake. YUMMO! Ressie is set for 2/26!!
It's mediocre

First of all, many of Disney restaurants are very inconsistent. They are a resort and seem to have a pretty high turnover of personnel, especially during the busier months. Experiences can vary from night to night, or even from table to table, depending upon your server and the time.
Also, people have wildly different expectations and tastes. My family didn't enjoy WCC at all. The ketchup thing just wasn't funny to us. Others find it hilarious. And that's just about the entertainment, never mind the food.
I have found that a key part of enjoying things is managing expectations. If you go into any experience, not just Disney dining, thinking that something is going to blow you away, you will probably be disappointed. On the other hand, if you hope that things are going to be at least acceptable, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. Also, people have different ways of looking at things...glass half empty or half full people.
Keep your mind open and expectations low, and you will most likely have a great time!

I think people are paying a premium and expect perfection from every aspect of their vacation. When it comes down to it, the people serving you/cooking your meal/etc are only human and are doing all that they can to accommodate massive crowds, so not everyone gets the experience they're hoping for.
And some people are just nitpicky and will never be happy.

People expect too much sometimes. They expect perfection in service and food. We go to Disney twice a year for two weeks each trip and eat Ts every night. Of all those trips only three or four places are on our "wait a few years and maybe try again" list. Disney restaurants serve so many ppl. I have read two reviews of the same restaurant on the same night seated within 15mins of each other. One loved the place, service and food while the other did not! Just pick where you want based on atmosphere and menu and see for yourself!

My only disappointments were Chef Mickey dinner. It really wasn't that bad. The characters were cute. I just don't care for the Contemporary...and there are other places to see Mickey. The selection of items seem limited and the buffet could have been a little neater, but we all found something to eat and no one got sick. Kind of like Sizzler or Ryan's or some other place like that. Would I pay $35 per adult for that in the real world? No...would I pay $15-20 sure!
The only other disappointment was Cape May (dinner). Again, the food was fine. I just didn't care for the atmosphere (just boring to me). For the price, I would have been just as happy at Red Lobster or Bubba Gump.

LOL! I wrote one of those negative MM reviews! Honestly, we've never picked based on the reviews here, because they are so inconsistent. If you like the look of the menu for MM, I'd say give it go. We did like the atmosphere, and the food wasn't bad, just not something that we PERSONALLY would be dying to do again. With a large party, it can be hard to find something that everyone wants to try, particularly in DHS, in my humble opinion.

I'm gonna really drive you crazy! We had one awesome meal at Coral Reef (best meal of the trip), next trip probably the worst meal was....Coral Reef!! lol
Seriously though.....We eat at outback a couple times a month...and I would say we've had some amazing meals there and some that were just not good....factor in people's own preferences, ways of expressing things, etc, and there's lots of room for different reviews!!!
I've always wondered tho......if it has something to do with the season....we always go off peak season and for the most part have good meals with wonderful service! The bad Coral Reef experience I referenced earlier was during free dining in August, at a peak dinner time.....server was harried, food was not good and the place was jammed packed....?? any body else care to weigh in on my theory??

Oh, yes .. but is not just a Disney food or Disney hotels discrepancies. It happens with every place and everything. I'm the kind of person that read reviews for almost everything (clothing, shoes, toys, even hair dye). I stopped reading the good reviews, after all they are good (right?) and only read the bad ones in different sites and make my own idea.

Ideas to WOW people used to bad food
Okay, a bit of back story.
I had gastric bypass four years ago and still attend a support group. Also, I live in the land of "cheap" and "buffet" being key food criteria. It drives me crazy. If I'm only going to eat 1 cup of food at a time, it is going to be good! I'm always pushing the idea of quality ingredients prepared well instead of worrying about fat, salt, calories, etc. Even the nutritionist agrees when directly asked, but then she falls back to talking about the standard line.
We have a recipe exchange a couple of times a year and one is coming up this October. I, perhaps unfairly, want to use the occassion to bring something that is so good it really makes my point. And which highlights quality ingredients, easy preparation, and exceptionalism. It can't be a dessert as many of us cannot eat sugar without getting sick. So a protein focused entree would be best.
Any ideas?
I suggest centering the recipe on some amazing local ingredient. It's hard to beat a dish like that. Of course, where you live has a huge bearing on what you can get your hands on. When I lived in California I could wow people with a simple vegetable dish because of the amazing farmers' market nearby. Now that I'm in Florida, it's all about the fish and seafood and the mangos. Is there something in your area you could focus the dish around?
I like the suggestion of local products as well. Another thing I would do is a great version of a dish they love, rather than a dish that will be perceived as strange or unapproachable.
re: Janet from Richmond
i agree with keeping it simple, however those very set in their ways may not appreciate a tweaked version of their favorite dish -- because it's "different".
but won't anything prepared really well blow them away?
re: hotoynoodle
Nope. I'm a hound/foodie and not anything well prepared blows me away. All of us have preferences and I think exposing them in the context of their comfort zone is the way to go.
re: Janet from Richmond
if the op is in the land of all-u-can-eat american chop suey, there are certain types who simply will refuse to even try something different. they have the palates of infants and the recalcitrance to match. she knows these folks better than we do.
what about something like baby lamb chops or braised short ribs? those are both richly flavored, easy to prepare and simple to portion out as small servings.
roast quail? duck leg confit?
re: hotoynoodle
I think short ribs would be perfect or some great pulled pork or baby back ribs or brisket. Even a fabulous pot roast over great mashed potatoes depending on how they are serving the dishes.
I think (based on what the OP said, but she knows them better) roasted quail or duck leg confit might get rejected.
re: hotoynoodle
While we actually have access to good lamb (we actually have a hormone free, grass fed, locally raised meat butcher shop), most of those I would be fixing it for would never pay the price for it. But they might short ribs. And they would be easily portioned out. Any great short rib recipe to recommend?
re: 1cup
This is my go-to short rib recipe and it's easy and very, very good.
re: Janet from Richmond
I agree. Some of the things I've made that people rave the most over are very, very simple...but are a revelation to people who have been eating the crap-version of those foods forever. The two main things that spring to mind are : fresh salsa and green salad w/ homemade dressing. Seriously, i keep getting asked for the recipe for those things. If you've been eating iceberg lettuce & industrial cucumbers w/ Wishbone dressing all your life , some pretty mixed greens w/ fresh pecans, expensive feta and a homeade vinaigrette may cause you to actually RANT about salad. I love it.
ALthough not exactly health food, a grilled cheese sandwich w/ a small amount of high quality cheese on artisan bread might be a revelation.
re: Janet from Richmond
Also agree with the salad idea. A fabulous salad with a bit of great cheese and maybe a homemade crouton or two may just change their minds. Salads are also customizable- you can give out the recipe with tips or suggestions for changes or ideas.
re: 1cup
sure! when I make "grilled" cheese, I put what will be the bottom slices on a cookie sheet and then under the broiler until they are whatever level of toasted I want. Then I remove, flip them over, apply the cheese, broil some more until the cheese melts, then top w/ the other bread slice for one final trip under the broiler. This way there's no buttered skillet necessary. I wonder if you could add a second flip at each stage to insure well-toasted bread?
re: Janet from Richmond
I live in Iowa so you'd think we'd have access to some really good meats and people would know how to prepare and value the quality. But cheap and plentiful generally tops good. I do like the idea though of focusing on something that is "typical"--maybe a cheaper cut of meat braised? Thanks for the inspiration.
re: 1cup
A few years ago I made boeuf bourguignon for some friends, including one who had spent most of her 70 years in a small town in Idaho. She was absolutely astonished at my beef stew. (When she asked, I told her it was called burgundy beef stew, thinking that the French name might scare her off!) She talks about it to this day as the best beef stew she has ever tasted. So, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Not that this friend is a dog, mind you, she just never tasted much past potatoes, steaks, burgers, casseroles made with mushroom soup and spaghetti made from a packet of Lawry's. Like so many others have said, make something familiar and just make it better! Good luck with your project.
I agree with noodle; anything done well will blow them away; in fact it might be wise not to go too exotic, as that might just prove to them that "posh food" tastes nice.
So I was going to suggest kings scallops (I think there was an episode of Masterchef (UK) where they were served with poached egg and crumbled black pudding IDK).
So I'd suggest dry aged steak. Steak and chips, with bernaise sauce. And if you can char-grill, all the better.
I agree with the other posters who have said that it may be unwise to go with anything too exotic, as it may be simply too scary!
I always loved food and thought I knew what good food was. But I grew up in a working class household in the suburbs, with a single mom who didn't have the time or the energy to create fantastic meals every night. (She was excellent during the holidays though.)
The first time I realized that I had been missing something I had a roasted chicken, truffled mashed potatoes, and sauteed swiss chard. Swiss chard was exotic to me, but not unapproachable. I had actually NEVER HAD roasted chicken, and when it is prepared well, it is a gift from the heavens. And finally truffle oil?????? OH MY GOD. Life changing.
re: chilibug
I was giving the nutritionist a hard time the other night as she was pushing the virtues of the ready-made rotisserie chicken. Yes, I know many of them are fine and yes they are convenient, but it just feeds the "quick and easy" over quality thinking. I told her that if she really could fix great chicken then she wouldn't be satisfied with a store cooked on. Keeping in mind that our stores are Wal-Mart and chain groceries. None of them will provide "gift from the heavens" chicken--I can guarantee!
re: chilibug
it's such a bummer I work around truffle oil (i'm a server) and just the mere smell of it makes me a bit nauseous. SO SAD!!!
re: cassoulady
This sounds like a good option. Any specific recipe that you would recommend?
Friday Brisket
1 (4- to 5-pound) brisket
2 (1-ounce) packets onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups Heinz chile sauce
6 cloves garlic
1 1/2 pounds carrots
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat fat-side up in a large Dutch oven. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the meat. Cover with the chile sauce and 2 cups of water, or more if needed to almost cover the meat. Crush the garlic cloves and add to the liquid.
2. Cover the pan and cook for 4 hours. Let the brisket cool for about 45 minutes and refrigerate overnight. Then skim the fat off the meat.
3. About 1 1/2 hours before you wish to serve the brisket, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the brisket to a cutting board and slice it thinly across the grain. I use an electric knife for this.
Trim, peel and cut the carrots into one-half-inch-by-2-inch sticks. Cook the brisket and carrots covered for 1 hour, until the brisket is heated through and the carrots are fork tender.
Each of 10 servings: 346 calories; 44 grams protein; 18 grams carbohydrates; 4 grams fiber; 9 grams fat; 3 grams saturated fat; 87 mg. cholesterol; 1,173 mg. sodium.
Sadly, you can't predict what will happen when you make really good food for people who are used to crap. If they've developed a taste for artificial, oversweetened, texturally-deficient, salty mushy food - basically most processed or mass-produced foods - they may not recognize the glory that is natural deliciousness. I can see how this would be frustrating when you're trying to entertain such people, but really it may not be possible to make them see the light. Stick with simple goodness - perfectly roast chicken or beef, really flavourful salads, vegetables done perfectly - and hope for the best.
I'll never forget a story from a friend who had been invited to a barbecue when she first moved to the south. She was assigned to bring "the beans". So she slaved and slaved and made the best freaking homemade baked beans ever in the history of baked beanness. And guess what. She arrived and her host, accepting the dish, said - "Oh heck no - I meant just the canned kind. You throw in some bacon and heat them up and they're perfect!"
You may need to seek out a couple of friends who share your interest in good food. Otherwise you'll be stuck in the parallel universe of cheap buffet cuisine forever.
I had a girlfriend who came from Kingman, Arizona and her family presented a similar challenge. i cooked the following middle of the road meals with fresh ingredients for them and i think they saw the light.
fresh salad with a simple red wine vinegar, olive oil and FRESH GARLIC dressing - turns any non-salad eater into a lover of fresh vegetables guaranteed
shrimp fajitas with fresh and simple guacamole, salsa, etc
Vera Cruz style mahi mahi
shrimp scampi
lamb chops with rosemary, roasted yams and green beans
baked chicken thighs with peppers, parsnips, carrots, celery, onion and sweet potatoes
rye braised pot roast with roasted beets and sauteed spinach

Head Down to the Finish Line
The hard part about writing a book, is not being able to share the quilts I'm really excited to be making! Over the last month, I've completed tops for 9 of the 10 projects in my next book, but I saved the most laborious for last. I wanted to be able to focus, and not mix things up, which I haven't done yet (knock on wood)!
The project includes some strip piecing – which I like to use a shortened stitch length for. This keeps stitches from unraveling when I cut my segments.
Any guesses as to how many half-square triangle units are here? I cut all of these with my Go! cutter last week, there's a few quarter-square triangles too. Then I spent two days of sewing to get to a … Read More »

Real Moments & News
Hi friends! Since wrapping up Blogger's Quilt Festival, I've been sewing non-stop. I have a book due in January, and with the holidays nearly here, I'm rushing to finish as much as I can now! Like, all of the piecing.
The way I tend to work, takes over the kitchen table, and I would love to be done setting up and putting away (daily) for a month, while I quilt everything downstairs.
It's a lot of work, but I always enjoy the bits of frantic energy!
Even if I do question my decision when it's time to trim things up. It's not always perfect but it is getting done!
Next June I will be teaching at the Small Town Quilt Show, right here in my little valley! High Valley … Read More »

Oct. 20, 2013
All Signs: This week Mercury goes retrograde. ("Whaaat? I thought it was already retrograde?") In a way, yes. Mercury sloooows down before it goes retrograde and, afterward, it takes days to catch up to where it was in the first place. So I recommend this outer window of time. For example, if Mercury goes retrograde on Monday the 21st (which it does) I would never buy a car six days before that date because Mercury is almost at a standstill. (Ouch.) The safety margins for this Mercury retrograde are Oct. 12-Nov. 27. (The actual retrograde is Oct. 21-Nov. 11.) Note: It's OK to buy all kinds of things during Mercury retrograde. But avoid buying Mercury-related items like ground transportation, phones, computers, printers, E-books and information-related technology. ("OMG! My cellphone just fell into the toilet!")
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is your chance to get in touch with your inner self. (And without elective surgery.) In the next month, you'll be more aware of doing or saying things that surprise even you. Or you might be aware of a compulsion you hadn't noticed before. ("Are these your ball bearings, Captain Queeg?") Your opportunity in the next month is not so much to spot your feelings but rather to strengthen your sense of who you are by helping you to see who you are. It's that simple. This might relate to your sex life or how you fit into your family or how you disagree with someone else's value system. You will also focus on property and resources that are jointly held. ("What do I get?")
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is the only time of year when the Sun is opposite your sign, which is as far away from you as it gets all year. Since the Sun is your source of energy, you're going to be more tired and you will need more sleep. Factoid. Respect this. In addition, the opposition of the Sun to your sign makes you more aware of your closest relationships. You'll start to think about what you want from a relationship. What needs must it fill? What needs of someone else must you fill? Relationships are a two-way street. (Or a roundabout if you're kinky.) Work with others this month and consult experts because you can benefit by partnering with others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Chaos, renovations or visiting guests might create tension at home. Fortunately, fair Venus paves the way for smooth relationships. In fact, partnerships will become cozy. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde creates delays, confusion, errors and mixed-up communications at work. Just accept this and be on the lookout for it. Double-check everything. Assume nothing. The good news is opportunities to boost your income still exist and will continue for months ahead. (Get on this.) The next four-to-six weeks are the perfect time to buff your bod and improve your health. The bottom line is you want your life to run efficiently and effectively. Don't we all?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Now you enter a month packed with vacations, parties, fun leisure and flirtations. Enjoy sports events, playful activities with children and romantic getaways. Grab a chance to express your creative talents because you have an urge to do your own thing. This is a strong time for writers, actors, teachers and salespeople because fiery Mars fires your desire to express your opinions and beliefs. Therefore, if you have to sell an idea, you're in the zone. In fact, you might come on too strong for some because you identify so strongly with your beliefs. (Little girl with forked tongue should not kiss balloon.) But hey, you have divine protection from lucky Jupiter for the rest of this year and well into 2014. Yay!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The month ahead is about home and family. Family get-togethers, domestic repairs and changes to your home are just a few reasons you're lying in bed at night juggling ideas in your head. Leos need to be in charge of their castle. Another thing you're juggling in your head (and your pocket) is money. That's because you're hemorrhaging cash right now! Well, good times, love affairs, children, gifts, vacations and romantic rendezvous do drain the bank. And it's inevitable because you want to have fun, you're generous, and you do things with flair! Unless you have Cancer or Capricorn in your chart to put the brakes on things, it's time to plant a money tree in your backyard. (To be born rich is an accident. To die rich is a miracle.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have a busy stretch ahead. Short trips, conversations with others, increased reading and writing plus errands and busy diversions will accelerate your daily routine. Zoom, zoom. Plus, Mercury retrograde will create snafus, transportation delays, silly errors and misunderstandings. Don't worry, you're not losing it. It's Mercury retrograde being the trickster. Enjoy entertaining at home and redecorating projects. Join a gym or exercise class because you've got energy to burn. You want to enlighten others and you will! Your increased physical energy plus a chance to show the world what you can do will keep you pumped!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're wrapped up with financial matters — how you earn your money, how you spend it and how you handle your possessions. Yet, at a deeper level, you're giving thought to your values in life. ("Sorry, I gave at the office.") But hey, this means you have to know what really matters. Only by knowing what matters can you make sensible decisions. Secret activities behind the scenes (perhaps love affairs) will take place. Venus will soften your words and attract opportunities to earn money through talking, writing, selling, acting and teaching. Look for old ways and old contacts to earn money. Apply at places you worked before. The next month is ideal for finishing things, not beginning new projects.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
With the Sun in your sign for the first time in 11 months, you can recharge, replenish and restore your energy for the next year. Since it's all about you, dear Scorpio, it's totally appropriate to put yourself first. Do what you want. Demand the biggest piece and the best seat. You'll be aggressive with others, especially in group situations. In fact, you'll enjoy competitions and physical sports. You're making money now, which allows you to buy goodies and treasures for yourself and loved ones. Do not deny yourself what you want (within reason) because this is the only time of year when your first duty is to yourself. "It's me and I'm comin' in."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
With your birthday just a month away, your year is ending. Use the next month to strategize what you want your new year to be all about. Now is the time to make plans, even though you're dealing with the past. Continue to get rid of what you no longer need — possessions, relationships, people, jobs and residences. "Everything goes!" That's because you're letting go of what is no longer relevant in your life. Fair Venus in your sign makes you charming, sociable and attractive to others. This is the time to shop for wardrobe goodies — ya think? Plus your increased ambition will get better results if you look great. (It's hard for naked people to get ahead in the world.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
In the next six weeks, friendships plus your relationship to groups will be something you start to examine. (Your friends are a reflection of you.) Naturally, this includes partying, schmoozing and socializing. Basically, you want to establish a connection with others. Now is the time to share hopes and dreams for the future with others to get their feedback. Expect to see friends from your past as well. Meanwhile, you want a change of scenery and since things are so cozy with partners and close friends — you have your traveling companion, hopefully with a Visa.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The Sun moves across the top of your chart now, casting a spotlight on you. And this light is flattering! Everyone thinks you walk on water and are the cat's meow. Don't be surprised to be asked to take on extra responsibilities or perhaps get a promotion. Whatever people want, say yes because you won't have to do anything special to dazzle them. The lighting will take care of it. You might get an offer from someone from your past because Mercury retrograde will attract old bosses and authority figures you knew before. It's all good. Disputes about shared property might arise, but you don't care because your sex drive is amped and it's easy to get along with friends and acquaintances.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Travel if you can because you need to get outta Dodge. You want to learn more. You want to meet new people. You want to have an exciting life! Meanwhile, the next month is perfect to finish writing projects, thesis papers, books and anything involved with medicine and the law. Personally, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to practice patience because fiery Mars is opposite your sign now, and this tends to make you easily annoyed with others. Is it them or is it you? Does it matter? The result is still the same. Just remember — patience is the antidote to anger. (People who think they know everything are very annoying for those of us who do.)

Garage door openers are normally the biggest moving protest in an individual's home. There are both business and non-business openers to contact for garage door openers. For the reasons of this article we will concentrate on the non-business sorts being utilized for the households.
There are numerous distinctive sorts of units available today. Most are, obviously, both programmed and remotely actuated. Generally, one accompanies a catch on the divider of the individual's home inside the garage mainly when opening the door from within. The fundamental development of the programmed door is either wood or metal paneling with wheels on either side of the boards.
What Are Your Options?
Keypads can additionally be introduced right outside the door for you to open it from the outside without a remote. In the same way note that some of the commercial garage door openers are opened by the use of a sensor when the auto approaches the door. Furthermore some by the help and use of a rollover sensor do enact the garage door when the vehicle moves over a tube sensor while on the ground. Key chain remotes are likewise accessible on a few models.
How Do The Garage Door openers Work?
The wheels slide along in tracks that are placed on both sides of the doorway. An electronic opener is normally joined to the door paneling and pulls the door up the track to a vacant position. But keep in mind that, as opposed to mainstream thinking the opener isn't the drive that opens the door completely but instead it just launches and aides the opening of the door. There are springs on most garage doors that are the genuine compel that opens the door utilizing counterbalancing. This counterbalancing in conjunction with the garage door opener lifts the door for the client.
Where Do You Buy?
Most buyers will visit their nearby handyman shop and buy the electronic opener itself with the remote and open switch incorporated. They typically have the recent model of door paneling, tracks, wheels and springs. Others normally decide to purchase some new ones on the web, or utilized from a companion or neighborhood merchant.
Shouldn't we think about Features?
A percentage of the characteristics that you'll be searching for in an opener may be a politeness light which lights up and stays lit previously, then after the fact the door is opened. Likewise you may need a remote lockout characteristic which can bolt the door when you are away on an excursion. Remote keypads are likewise a fantastic choice to consider. You may pick solenoid worked deadbolts for the door boards for additional security. A few openers have sensors to discover monoxide smoke advance and will immediately open the door when it faculties an excess of monoxide advance. More current models will have open and close characteristics that you can access through the Internet. Likewise accessible are remote unique finger impression keypads that could be introduced outside on the door jam, which might be actuated by pressing your finger just once. This is extraordinary for latchkey kids as they don't need to recollect a pin number.
Is it accurate to say that the garage door openers are safer today?
For some time now all garage door openers have a speedy discharge lock to differentiate the immediate opener from the door boards. All units are obliged to invert heading when standing up to an impediment as well. The buttons are fixed in a way they will be mounted in no less than 5 feet starting from the earliest stage so as to keep out the scope of little youngsters. Likewise kids ought not to have the ability to play with the remote.
As a side note, most business units have an electric eye spotted anyplace from 6 inches to a foot and a half off the ground. Why they do this is on the off chance that somebody is standing straightforwardly in the way of the door or assuming that somebody is laying on the ground oblivious in the way of the door. Car shops have this eye, thus if an automotive is parked or stopped in the garage doorway, the door does not close on the auto itself.
What amount Will It Cost?
Garage door units go in cost from as low as $100 to as high as thousands depending on their characteristics. I propose having an expert installing this product for you. It is not challenging yet for most individuals getting an expert technician of all trades, will spare themselves some good cash and also they will have total guarantee of quality work
I trust this article was extremely enlightening and that you appreciated understanding it.

I just had a quick question about Universals Animal Pump. I have read all the reviews I can find on it and there's nothing but good yet the only question I can't really find is about the side effects. I currently use Whey Protein and BSN Cellmass which I like the flavor of and I used to use BSN NO-Xplode but even the smallest does upset my stomach causing diarrhea so I had to leave it behind. Animal Pump sounds very promising but if I can't handle NO-Xplode will my stomach be able to handle Animal Pump? Maybe it's the caffeine that upsets my stomach because I used to get that jittery feeling as well and I can only stand about one cup of coffee which I drink once in a blue moon. Please let me know or give me an a good alternative because I feel like I'm missing out on a lot for better muscle gain, hell right now I'm taking Hot Rox Extreme for just the energy alone before a workout because it's the only thing that I can tolerate and even though it's a "weight loss" pill they claim it doesn't kill all the muscle but I would sure love to stop taking it cause I'm sure it kills enough muscle to detour all my hard work in the gym. Thanks for any help.

Home > Security > Online security > How to protect yourself online
There are plenty of things you can do to keep yourself in tiptop secure condition online. These include protecting yourself from viruses as well as strategies to keep your identity safe online. What you can do to ensure that your computer and online banking is secure. > Top tips to protect yourself online > Password and access codes > Hoax emails and online fraud > Security software > Anti-virus > Anti-spyware > Your firewall
Below is an example of what a phishing or hoax email may look like. It is important to report phishing emails to us but make sure you never click on any links in the email:
These hoax emails appear as being sent from Teachers Mutual Bank and try to trap you into providing your personal information or get you to download a virus onto your computer. Teachers Mutual Bank will not contact you via email to ask you to provide or confirm personal information (e.g. credit card number, account number, internet banking access code and/or PIN).
Phishing is the use of hoax emails alleging to be from an organisation, requesting confirmation of personal details such as account numbers, credit card details, internet banking logins, passwords or access codes. Details entered into a fraudulent web site can then be used on the real website to commit fraud. These hoax emails often look genuine, with the same logo and branding as the actual organisation.
These are usually sent from unknown senders and contain links or attachments that may download and install malicious software (Malware) onto your computer. If you act on the email, the malware will try to install itself automatically on your computer, depending on the security software on your computer. The malicious software is designed to capture any information that you enter into online services such as internet banking, and send it back to a criminal who can use it for fraud. There are many email scams designed to compromise online user credentials or personal information, in order to illegally obtain funds. These unsolicited emails are sent in high volumes to random email addresses in the hope that they will find banking customers. If you receive unsolicited emails, do not click on any links, open attachments or enter any personal information as they may expose your computer to viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits or spyware.Teachers Mutual Bank does not send emails requesting you to confirm or disclose your internet banking login information.
Ensure you have security software installed on your computer including anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and firewall products. It is important to ensure that they are regularly updated. By installing anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall security software on your computer and ensuring regular automatic updates are enabled, you can help to keep your computer protected against external attacks by viruses, worms or hackers. This can be done for little or no cost using free software or commercial products available. Often a free trial of security software is offered with a new computer. If you activate these, take note of the expiry date and ensure that you renew the subscription before it expires.
Although installing reputable anti-virus software and keeping it updated should protect you against most known viruses, you need to be cautious about not opening emails, email attachments or files on your system of unknown origin. Even if you know the sender, it is a good idea to always scan files for viruses before opening them. Only install software that is received from a trusted source and is published by a trusted software vendor. If you choose to install free security applications available on the internet, we recommend you seek guidance from an IT professional to ensure you are choosing reputable applications.
Spyware collects personal information from your computer without your consent and is usually installed without your knowledge. This can occur when you click on a helpful pop-up message, but a lot of spyware is bundled and automatically installed with some free software packages.
It is essential that any computer connected to the internet is protected by a firewall to ensure the security of your financial transactions and computer. A firewall helps protect your computer from hackers who may try to steal or delete information from your computer. If you are using a combined modem/router, or any type of internet or broadband router you should review the documentation that came with the device and familiarise yourself with the configuration page. Usually the configuration page can be easily accessed by typing the device's IP address available from their documentation, into your web browser's address bar. Many of these devices have a built-in firewall which is often disabled by default. By enabling the built-in firewall, you will be better protected against manual and automated attacks on your computer system.

ESCONDIDO: Crowe family settles civil rights lawsuit for $7.25 million
A federal trial judge in San Diego dismissed the bulk of the civil rights suit in 2004. But six years later, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals revived the lawsuit, finding that Escondido police violated the civil rights of Crowe and his friends during "hours of grueling, psychologically abusive interrogations."
The federal appeals court found that Crowe and his friends endured "psychological torture" during police questioning. The result was coerced confessions that led to murder charges against "innocent teenagers for a crime they did not commit," the appeals court found.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Escondido's request that it review the appeals court findings.
The settlements with a number of defendants followed.
Cheryl Crowe credited Silverman's tenacity in keeping alive a difficult and complex case that he had taken on contingency more than a decade ago.
"Without Milt, we would never have had a voice inside the court," she said. "He was ready to retire when he took this case. But he kept a promise to my mom that he would see this case to the end."
Cheryl Crowe's mother, Judith Kennedy, died in 2001. It was she who found her granddaughter's lifeless body.
Although Escondido police originally suspected Michael Crowe and his teenage buddies, DNA evidence linked a mentally ill transient to the child's slaying. The case was moved from Escondido police to a cold case detective with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department's homicide unit.
In 2004, the transient, Richard Tuite, now 42, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for sneaking into the Crowe home and killing the girl while her family slept.
But earlier this year, a federal appeals court overturned Tuite's conviction, finding that the jury should have heard more about the backgrounds of dueling crime scene analysts who offered opposing theories of the slaying.
State prosecutors have asked the federal courts to reconsider the decision to overturn Tuite's conviction. As of Friday, with the courts still weighing the criminal case, Tuite ---- who has schizophrenia ---- remained in custody at the California Medical Facility, a psychiatric institution for the state's male prisoners.
Cheryl Crowe said it scares her that Tuite's conviction was overturned, and she worries about public safety once he is released.
"The thought of Richard Tuite hurting another child is very troubling to me," she said.
Michael Crowe said he agreed to the settlement even though Escondido police do not accept liability for wrongdoing.
"There is not any price that would make what they did right," he said when reached at his home in Oregon. "But in the end, the price was just fair enough for us to accept. ... It's unfortunate, but we came to realize that the police would never admit they were wrong. And that is unfortunate for everyone who lives in that city."
Cheryl Crowe, who has also relocated to Oregon, said one settlement item was non-negotiable: The amount of the settlement had to be made public.
"We refused to settle if it remained confidential," Cheryl Crowe said. "We said, 'No, that is not acceptable.' They know they did something wrong."

The Jindal administration now says it had no intention of shutting down the Louisiana Department of Education website and the problem now has been fixed.
"We are grateful the bill has been paid," LDOE's Barry Landry said in a statement.
Earlier this morning, The Advocate's Will Sentell reported that the state Department of Education website was shut down because Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration will not pay the bill.
State Education Superintendent John White had accused the governor's administration of not making the website payment, according to Sentell's Twitter account.
LDOE's website, louisianabelieves.com, until moments ago was not functioning properly.
"The delay in renewing DOE's website was unintentional and has been resolved," said Meghan Parrish, Communications Director with the Division of Administration.

3 Ninjas Kick Back is a 1994 American sequel to the film 3 Ninjas. It received mostly negative reviews from critics. This is the only 3 Ninjas film with a video game adaptation. Despite being released before 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up due to legal issues, this film was actually shot a year later.[1] Mori's last name in this film changes from Tanaka to Shintaro for no apparent reason.[2]
Planning to go away to Japan with Grandpa is not as easy as Rocky (Sean Fox), Colt (Max Elliott Slade), Tum Tum (J. Evan Bonifant) had hoped. After expressing their different views on how they want to spend their vacation, Mori (Victor Wong) becomes concerned that his grandchildren are growing apart, both from himself and from each other. Tum Tum seems to be the only one interested in traveling to Japan, and even then only hopes to go and watch Sumo wrestlers due to the amount of food they are able to consume every day, while Mori intends to return a dagger to the Grand Master at a martial arts tournament that he had won 50 years prior from a boy named Koga (Sab Shimono). Meanwhile, in Japan a valuable sword goes missing when a thief dressed as a ninja steals it and escapes via hang glider.
Back in the United States, the boys experience the pains of growing up at a baseball game; Colt has become impatient and short tempered, starting fights with bullies on the opposing team, while Rocky is too distracted by hottie Lisa Di Marino to pitch properly, and Tum Tum's obsession with food causes constant delays in the game. When their troubles come to a head, both teams get into a massive brawl that forces the umpire to delay the game a week, putting a nail in Mori's plans to take the boys to Japan. When they take him to the airport though, a sticker falls off Tum Tum's bag and Sam, the boys' father, grabs it by mistake. The boys later discover intruders at Mori's cabin and fend them off, not realizing they were the platinum haired nephew of Koga, Glam (Dustin Nguyen) and his friends hired to steal the dagger. That night after Mori calls and says a fender bender put him in the hospital, Tum-Tum discovers the bags were mixed up and the boys make arrangements without their parents' knowledge to travel to Japan using a recorded call from Mori. When they arrive, they reveal to him that they have the dagger while Glam and his friends, who were responsible for the fender bender, record Mori's instructions to return the dagger to the Grand Master. Koga punishes them for failing to deliver the dagger three times and formulates his own plan to get it. At the martial arts tournament, Colt dresses as a competitor, but is beaten and by a girl named Miyo (Caroline Junko King) who has a passion for baseball, but not the skill. They make a deal where she teaches them to further martial arts and they teach her baseball, which works out beneficial for everyone, and Rocky develops feelings for her. Meanwhile, Mori is kidnapped by Koga's assistant.
The Grand Master arrives at Miyo's house, but unlike before he can speak English, and he wears shoes which rouses Tum-Tum's suspicions. Miyo uncovers the deception and alerts them and they all fight off Koga's men before they too are captured. With the sword and dagger in hand, Koga uses the boys as leverage to make Mori tell him where the fabled cave of gold is hidden. The kids escape after them on hang gliders and reunite with Mori before Koga is able to shoot him. Using what he'd learned for training, Colt blocks Koga's gun with a ball bearing and it backfires causing a cave in. As they escape, Koga leaves the riches behind to save his own life and is grateful to Mori, Miyo and the boys, who realize that they can still make the delayed championship baseball game. At the game, Rocky manages to almost strike out the batter who hits a pop fly to a new player that catches it in her hat, revealing Miyo had joined the team. In the next inning, Rocky and Tum Tum make it on base and Colt strikes a home run to win the championship. To make it seem fair, Colt allows the opposing team pitcher to pick one of the three of them to fight and they pick Miyo, despite Tum Tum warning them that "she's just a girl" they try to attack her before she beats the group up and the screen goes dark.

Celebrity Tweets from Alec Baldwin's Wedding
Now that the 4th of July has passed and the stray fires from illegal fireworks have been extinguished, and the pungent smell of vomit from Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island is but a fading memory, we have time to reflect on something that took place in New York City this holiday week: the marriage of Alec Baldwin to Hilaria Thomas — a woman not quite half his age.
The Real Reasons Why Ann Curry Was Fired from "The Today Show"
Ann Curry has left her co-anchor position on NBC's The Today Show, saying a tearful goodbye to viewers just as NBC execs were saying a tearful goodbye to the show's 852-week streak as morning ratings champ. Officially, Ann was ousted from the position after Good Morning America took the top ratings spot, but who can say what really happened in the fast-and-furious-and-forgettable world of morning TV? We can.
Sarah Palin Hosting "The Today Show" is a "Lame Change"
When ABC announced that Katie Couric would be filling in as co-anchor on Good Morning America, the producers of The Today Show knew they had to do something big to counter-program. And they did! Unfortunately, they did something big and stupid, bringing in unqualified V.P. candidate, half-term Alaska governor and intellectual feather-weight Sarah Palin to co-host. Is this bad, desperate TV? You betcha!

3 Days in York
Hi all, we (late 20s/early 30s couple, no kids) are spending three days in York, ME. I've read some recommendations from past posts, but was hoping you could help with more. I'll be sure to give a full report on our return.
Specifically, it would be great to have one nice meal. I've seen the Tavern at York Harbor Inn, Arrows & White Barn all mentioned, though I don't know how far away the latter are from York.
And we'd like lobster, both rolls and steamed...any suggestions for casual shack-type places? We're big seafood lovers generally, so any recommendations on that front would be great.
Depending where in York you are staying, Arrows is between 20 minutes to 35 minutes from York. Great place. But remember they have a dress code. for men, shirts with collars, no shorts for anyone. MC Perkins Cove in Ogunquit is closer, more casual and owned by Arrows (and alot cheaper).
For breakfast in York you can't beat Food & co.- it is on Route One just south of the exit from 95 to Yorks and ogunquit.
Lobster places- so many: In Kittery- Chauncy Creek. Has a steep staircase to eat right on the water.
Barnicle Billy's in Ogunquit- sit outside on the deck and have a rum punch with your lobster and steamers.
Ogunquit Lobster Pound- some like his but it is not on the water.
Hope you have a great time.
Your best bet is to eat either in Portsmouth N.H. or Ogunquit Maine. Depending on your tastes and pocket book, the best places are listed below:
White Barn Inn -- Kennenbunkport 1/2 hour away
98 Provence -- Ogunquit 15 minutes
On the Marsh -- Kennenbunkport
Lindburgs Crossing-- Portsmouth 20 minutes
Pesce Blue -- Portsmouth
Anthony Alberto's -- Portsmouth
Enjoy and good luck. Tell us how you make out and what you liked best, as well as disliked........
Arrows is very nice, but very expensive($100+/person w/o alcohol). To get to Arrows from York you go North on Rt1 into Ogunquit, take a left on Berwick Road - which is in the center of town. Hence the rub, depending on the day, just getting into the center of Oqunquit could take 40 minutes from York.
White Barn Inn is located in Kennebunkport. You could either go South out of York, get on I95 at the York toll booth, then get off at the Wells toll booth - which may be faster. Or, go north on Rt1 through the traffic hell known as Ogunquit in the summer time, stay on Rt 1 through Wells until you get to Rt9, go right on Rt9 until you hit Rt35 (light), take a right and the White Barn is ~1/4 mile down on the right. Also very expensive. 35-60 minute drive from York in the summer, maybe 15 minutes in the winter.
Before the White Barn, back on Rt9 is a place called On the Marsh which would be a very good second to WB or Arrows.
You could also go into Portsmouth, NH. Probably closer to York than Kport? In Portsmouth there are many high end restaurants to pick from - Dunaway located in Strawberry Banke is new, located in an historic post/beam house, excellent food for 1/2$ money of any of the above. Lindberghs Crossing would be another good choice. Down on the waterfront, but not really waterfront dining.
There are lots of lobster places, throw a rock with your eyes closed - you'll hit one. Chauncey Creek (off Rt103 between York and Kittery Point) would probably be top on my list for location/total experience. Bob's Clam Hut on Rt1 Kittery for your fried seafood fix or lobster rolls. There is a new place in Kittery called Roberts Maine Grill (I think) that I read a good review of in the paper, haven't tried it myself, it's across the road from Bob's. Robert and Bob are the same guy, so I'm guessing that at least the fried seafood is top notch at Roberts;)
re: Keithel
I haven't eaten at WB in years (10+), but I would say that WB and Arrows are close to identical regarding $. Based on my experience, between the two I would go to Arrows. The last time I was at the WB the service was over the top, as in sufficating.
On the Marsh won't be near as expensive, probably 2/3 the $ of WB or Arrows, but the experience won't be exactly the same. The food will likely be just as good, but they don't have fresh picked vegi's from their own garden.
Neither Dunaway or Lindberghs is in the same league as WB/Arrows, but they do qualify as fine dining and the food is imaginative, great locations etc.. My most recent experience was at Dunaway's and I believe the bill was around $180 w/o tip and we had pre-dinner martinis, wine by the glass with dinner and the dessert special w/after dinner drinks + coffee.
If you okay dropping $300 for a meal(for 2), then go to Arrows. Your on vacation, enjoy.
Next day, go to Flows in Cape Neddick for some $2.25 hot dogs;)
There are a couple of places to eat in your area, on Rt 1A there is a real nice place just out of town on the shore rd that takes you to Ogunquit. I believe its call the Cape Nedick lobster pound. But im sure if you ask any one where your staying in York they can tell you. There are a few nice places in Ogunquit and Wells Beach area to eat at. Some of the ones mentioned by privious posters are quite expensive. If you like sports bars, there is a real nice place that my wife and I like, and where we eat at,at least once during a stay in that area is Vinny's East Coast Grill its located on Rt 1 about a mile from the Ogunquit rotary. There is a good but not to expensive place for steaks called the Steakhouse", In Wells right on Rt 1
Good luck and hope you have a good time. Earle
The White Barn Inn and Arrows are similar in cost. The appetizers at Arrows are about $20 and entrees about $45.
While they are both good, Arrows is breathtakingly beautiful with the outdoor gardens all lit up. They also cure their own meats (proscuitto), fish (salmon), make their own duck confit and grow their own vegetables. I read recently that they just bought a smoker to mke their own smoked meats and fish.While Arrows is very fancy, WBInn is a bit more pretentious. On the Marsh,while nice, does not compare to these two places. Haven't been in awhile so you need to get someone else to tell you the price.
If you choose Mc Perkins Cove, owned by Arrows, the view is beautiful as it is on the water. They serve alot of the home grown stuff from Arrows and the service is excellent. It will cost you a lot less but is a very good choice. Plus, you can go casual. We go to Arrows once or twice a year but eat at MC almost every week as it is more affordable and has similar service to Arrows and good food.
re: emilief
Excellent! Just the kind of information I was looking for.
Thank you.
For a lobster shack, right at the opening of Nubble Light is a tiny place, called Fox's. Great seafood, fried and lobster rols. And don't miss an ice cream at Brown's also on that same road.
I spent a week in York, nice area.
I just spent my 35th summer in York Beach (ten days this time), and what a great time. Because of cottage overload(family is getting bigger) we actually stayed two nights at the Sands Motel right by Short Sands. Pool is about the only good thing going there.
Although I don't eat them, my family swears that Mary at Molly O's makes the best pancakes around. They have other great breakfast selections too.
The Stolen Menu Cafe is a new place in the little shopping area between York Beach and York Village. I had a great sandwich there.
We ate at both MC Perkins Cove and Pesce Blue. No comparison there, Pesce Blue was by far superior.
The view at MCs was great, we were right in the window, but I wasn't impressed with the food.
On the other hand, a group of 9 of us had an outstanding dinner at Pesce Blue...interesting apps, Italian inspirations including fresh ingredients simply prepared, fennel, hazlenuts, and perfectly done risotto.
And they served Caipirinhas, the traditional Brazilian cocktail. I had just been to Rio and couldn't find any cachaca in Portsmouth, which disappointed me. Pesce Blue's version was great.
We skipped dessert and went to Annabelle's of course for ice cream.
Ran out of days and couldn't get to Rick's, Flo's, York House of Pizza, or the Front Porch in Ogunquit (for late night drinks and singing).
Don't forget about BROWN'S ICE CREAM at nubble light in York! And check out Fox's Lobster Shack:
re: jackattack
I've had Brown's Ice Cream quite a few times now, but alas, it's not as good as you can get in MA (which some would call the Ice Cream capital of the world).
When I'm in ME, I'd rather be looking for great blueberry pie.
re: Keithel
Agreed. Brown's is just not the same as when I actually worked there for two summers 20 years ago with Mr. Brown himself. I hate to say it, but in a pinch I now prefer the Goldenrod ice cream. Back in the day, I would have been shot behind Nubble Lighthouse for saying such a thing.
I'll "third" the endorsement of Fox's Lobster Shack in York/Nubble Point. Very casual, cheap, overlooking the water and the lighthouse, the food was very fresh. The whole belly clams weren't slimy and they were very tasty, the lobster roll was very fresh. We were there a week ago. It's a sit-down restaurant, but very very casual.
re: JulesEV
How was your visit?
I'm intrigued to hear what chow you had. ^_^

Attempted to build an EDH deck around my favorite U/W creature, Geist of Saint Traft.
Using evasive creatures and enchantments and equipment to add damage/ effects or even more evasion, main goal is to win via creature damage.
Main Parts:-Evasive Creatures (To stick around and deal damage)
-Counterspells (To make sure the creatures make it onto the battlefield for their evasion to matter)
-Equipment (To stick onto already evasive creatures to make them bigger, add effects, or even more evasion)
-Equipment tutors (both creatures or spells) (To find the equipment when they just aren't showing up)
-Enchantments (Same idea as equipment, with a few field-wide buffs thrown in)
Thanks for any advice on things to work on.
Wish I had the money for these. Maybe down the road.

Potential witness to (Todashev) FBI Shooting Ordered to Remain in Jail until she Leaves USSubmitted by go213mph on Sun, 06/30/2013 - 12:00
The Boston Globe – by Maria Sacchetti
An immigration judge has ordered a potential witness in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a Chechen man by an FBI agent last month to leave the United States no later than July 1, and to remain in jail until she departs, raising an outcry from a civil rights group seeking a full accounting of the man's death.
Federal immigration officials arrested Tatiana Igorevna Gruzdeva, a 19-year-old aspiring foreign language teacher from Russia, on May 16 for overstaying her visa. They discovered the violation when the FBI and other law enforcement officials began investigating Ibragim Todashev, her roommate in Orlando, about his ties to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Six days later, a Boston FBI agent shot and killed 27-year-old Todashev in their apartment.

Obviously making sure people
Obviously making sure people dont over stay their visa is way too hard. Its not like they can make a computer system that notifies local officials that they need to check on the person...
Anyway, this is obviously a cover up. Sending a witness to a murder away? Thats rediculous. At the very least they should be issueing a temporary visa of some sort until everything is wrapped up.
To climb the mountain, you must believe you can.

We've got our Katniss Everdeen—"super excited" Jennifer Lawrence—locked in for The Hunger Games. So now it will be easier to start casting the rest of the flick, right?
We have a feeling the role of Peeta Mellark will be announced next, and the deciding factor will be who has the best chemistry with Jennifer.
Will it be Alex Pettyfer? Or fan favorite Hunter Parrish?
Alex and Hunter have both confirmed they've met with producers about the role.
Parrish dished just this week: "If it's Jennifer Lawrence, man, sign me up!"
But will Lionsgate do just that?
We are hot for Parrish, no doubt, and you all seemed into him when we polled you a few weeks ago.
Hate to admit it, but attitude-ridden Alex Pettyfer has really grown on us the more we think about it. Hello, how freaking hot would he and Jennifer Lawrence be on screen together?!
The only reason we were kind of meh about Alex was that he was blabbing so much about the possibility of the role saying he would consider taking it.
Come on, if offered he would jump on it! But remember, this is a guy who's kinda hot(-headed) in the emo department, just ask ex Dianna Agron.
So will Lionsgate bite?
