Menu Planning Sheet for Mystery Dinner
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Submitted by Trudy.
Activity description:
A Secret Combo Meal, planning sheet and menu. We used these for an activity that had an 80's theme, hence the 80's reference on some of the foods code names. Every item on the menu is in secret code so you may end up eating your meal with a toothpick!
There is also a matching menu
(For those of you unfamiliar with these games, basically you make a menu with fake names standing for odd dinner items. Like "Bill's Brown Roundies" might be meatballs or donuts, etc. Kids choose from the menu items and make up a surprise dinner based on their selections. Same thing is done with utensils. "Happiness" might be a spoon. A fun activity. - Jenny)

It's mid Sunday here in New York and TNA Lockdown 2013 is closing in for this evening. There are a few bouts on the card that I expect to be strong (I am actually not too impressed with the overall card for a major pay-per-view like this, yet it can still surprise) but there is a certain air leading into tonight that's been commented on here and there throughout the IWC and I'd like to touch on that quickly before the pay-per-view: Bully Ray, Jeff Hardy and a possible swerve.
Everyone has brought up the possibility that Bully is the leader (or a leader) of the Aces & 8′s faction. There are still a lot of questions that haven't been answered and Bully being involved is a plausible view.
When Aces & 8′s arrived on the scene, they came from out of nowhere, figuratively and literally. Who was letting them in? What was their agenda? We all now know that D'Lo Brown, who is a TNA executive, is the Aces & 8′s VP. This explains how they had access into the Impact Zone but also raises the question of how deep this faction goes. Devon is a high ranking member who was one half of one of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling. When The Dudley's separated, Bully was the heel and Devon the face. Come Aces & 8′s and the role's reversed.
Bully becomes a main event level singles competitor since then and has not only earned a shot at the heavyweight title, but has also married the general manager's daughter, Brooke Hogan. If you told me this was the direction Bully would take around the time Aces & 8′s first appeared, I would have laughed it off and consider that wishful thinking. Surprisingly, that is the case now and how interesting would it be if this was a huge plan by Bully and Devon to not only have Bully become the world champion, but to bring the gold to Aces & 8′s?
In my opinion, Bully has also become too "honorable" in a short period of time. Coming off of the heel persona and the things he's done, I can't picture Bully being completely sincere now. He's always been a bad ass kind of person in the past, whether heel or face, but there's something about this time around that's a little too wishy washy for my taste. He's a Bully, as he so proudly states, so why would he care about doing the honorable thing now? A Dudley reunion as members of Aces & 8′s would be quite the swerve.
Let's switch it up though and think about this: What if Jeff Hardy is the leader, or a leader, of Aces & 8′s? We all know the story of Jeff Hardy at Victory Road 2011. We also know that Jeff Hardy was the world heavyweight champion as part of Immortal when he lost to Sting. Immortal kicked him out and upon his return several months later, he doesn't truly get the measure of revenge against Hulk Hogan and Immortal. He returns as a more humble and fan friendly Jeff Hardy. Taking everything that has happened since then (Hardy making amends with everyone, including Hulk Hogan, and becoming world champion), wouldn't it be another huge swerve if Hardy retains tonight and reveals himself to be the mysterious leader of Aces & 8′s as a slap in the face to Hogan and TNA for Victory Road 2011 and after? No one has thought about this possibility as far as I can tell or maybe not as many people have discussed this as much as Bully's possible turn but this would be a cool swerve in my opinion.
I know what you might be thinking: this would be just a rehash of the Immortal angle if Hardy were to be involved. True, but this is only a possibility and one that can blur the lines between heel and face for Hardy. If this were to happen in this wild world of professional wrestling, I can see Hardy justifying his actions by blaming Hogan for Victory Road 2011 and this being his grand payback.
Maybe there is no swerve and the two will compete in the name of sportsmanship. That is a possibility, but I can't help but feel something is going to go down tonight. I suppose we will have to wait and see how things play out in the cage.

CyberOptics Reports Second Quarter Operating Results
CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today reported operating results for the second quarter of 2012 ended June 30.
- Consolidated sales totaled $13.0 million, up from $11.3 million in this year's first quarter but down from $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, reflecting greater than anticipated weakness in the global electronics market.
- Operating income of $98,000 was up from $92,000 in the first quarter of 2012, but down from $1.8 million in last year's second quarter.
- Net income came to $143,000 or $0.02 per diluted share in this year's second quarter, compared to $92,000 or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter and $1.4 million or $0.20 per diluted share in the year-earlier period.
- Backlog at June 30, 2012 totaled $4.3 million, compared to $5.6 million at the end of this year's first quarter.
- Cash and marketable securities increased $1.8 million to $32.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $30.5 million at December 31, 2011. Cash reserves at the end of this year's second quarter also were up substantially from $23.9 million at June 30, 2011.
Kathleen P. Iverson, chief executive officer and chair, commented: "We previously believed that the first quarter of 2012 marked the trough of a multi-quarter cyclical downturn in the global electronics industry. However, the extent of the market downturn caused by continued weakening of the global economy negatively affected our second quarter results. Given widespread market weakness, we experienced reduced year-over-year demand for most of our product categories, although revenue was sequentially higher in the second quarter of 2012. A slowing Chinese economy and continued economic turmoil in Europe, which drove heightened customer caution in our markets, were significant contributing factors to the lower demand for our sensor and system products. In addition, sensor sales continued to be affected by the absence of solar sensor sales due to persistently sluggish conditions in the solar market."

Private Practice Review: Just a Little Too Muchby Christina Tran at . Comments
"Too Much" was appropriately named, as a heckuva lot happened during an especially intense Private Practice episode.
This week's medical case focused on the baby of a recovering drug addict. It was a touching story, depicted well by both a remorseful parent and unforgiving daughter. Like always, Private Practice's professional arcs make it difficult to decide what the right solution is.
Luckily, Addie saved the day (as usual) and the doctors came to what seemed to be the best decision in giving the mother a second chance to be a mom to both of her children. Sometimes a second chance is all someone needs.
Meanwhile, bratty Mason didn't care too much for Charlotte's mac and cheese. Although it was understandable he was acting out simply because he couldn't be with his mom, I couldn't help but feel for Charlotte and wonder when she and Cooper would catch a break.
Plus, who seriously turns down mac and cheese and dumps it on the ground?!? It's only the best comfort food ever.
When Charlotte found Mason, she handled the situation perfectly well. Without getting incredibly upset and trying to stay calm, she was there for Mason when neither of his parents could be. I also thought that Charlotte was right in trying to convince Erica again that she must tell her son what's going on before it's too late.
Though heartbreaking, all of the scenes involving Erica's case got me thinking only one thing: I am so stoked about next week's crossover event with Grey's Anatomy. How about you?
There were a number of things I didn't care too much for throughout this installment, though.
First, I was definitely disappointed in Addison's choice to take a few steps back and land in Sam's bed. Seriously, what was she thinking? We've discussed this number of times before, but Sam has clearly stated he doesn't want to be a father and all she's ever wanted is to be a mother. These two things are never going to add up. Like Jake said, she should have kept her distance. Whether you're a fan of Jake's or not, you have to admit that he was right about that. Sam and Addie's hook up will only get in the way of what she has always wanted. Do you agree or do you think things could be different if they had another shot?
Another part I didn't care too much for was Sam's storyline concerning his sister. Maybe it'll take some time, but there was just so much more going on; this could have been told at a later point in time. Fortunately, Sheldon is helping to treat Sam's sibling and will be able to find out exactly what's going on with her.
Finally, I am rating this episode a 3.5 on the Violet Annoyance Scale (VAS). It's great that she's doing her own thing with Hot Scott and trying to be happy, but I thought Pete made a valid argument about how it wasn't cool that she was messing around at the workplace with Scott, knowing that Pete was there as well.
Sure, he's been a jerk and could have been an actual adult and told her how he really felt, but Violet should also have known to respect the sanctity of the workplace. Also, I laughed when she tried to analyze what Pete meant when he said he cared. These two need to stay on a permanent break. So as long as they continue to be great parents to Lucas, I much prefer them apart. One more thing: So, Scott's just a fling to her, but how would Scott feel if he knew this? If the roles were reversed, I'm thinking I'd see some varying responses.
With numerous storylines intertwining involving our Seaside Wellness doctors, I felt like this installment was a bit subpar. It was decent, but in comparison to what we've seen all season long, it just fell short from being anything but stellar.
So, what are your thoughts, TV Fanatics? What did you think of "Too Much?" Hit the comments now!
I'd be interested to know if you have ever used a more fraoml type of scheduling such as MOTH? We have used that with great success in the past, but now I am thinking of transitioning out of that type of schedule-based day, and into more of a routine-based plan such as you have outlined here. Don't get me wrong, I loved our schedule, but now that I am only schooling 2 children and am able to be home fulltime, I am thinking we could ease up a bit .No real point to this comment just letting myself ramble a bit! Hope ya don't mind;)
My two, three, five cents for what it is worth. Addison/Sam - Yes, Yes Yes, she gets pregnant from their latest love romp and they get back together. There is chemistry, so evereyone just get over it! Sam and Addison together is just Hot! Two gorgeous people! Jake - He is cool, but boring. Amelia - Ready for more of her crazy without the drugs and alcohol! Charlotte/Cooper - They just rock. Not to be harsh, but Mason is more exciting to watch without his mama. She will succumb to the tumor, he goes on to live with his daddy and step-mommy, who will soften up just enough, but still get her Charlotte on! Violet/Pete - Yawn...........
This show is 'too much' all the time, yet I have it permanently scheduled to record on my DVR. It's a soap opera. I'm not surprised that Addison and Sam got together, they live right next door to each other, they obviously still have feelings for one another, it was bound to happen. Of course it's totally inappropriate for Violet and Hottie to be making out in the hallways of the hospital or practice but 75% of the stuff that goes on in this show is inappropriate and unrealistic. I'm glad Violet is with Hottie though, if for no other reason than I can see him week after week. I hope they keep that story line going. I don't think it's fair to call Mason a brat, he's been a good kid so far, he was upset and acted out a little. That was probably the most realistic thing on the show.
Many bad storylines, I'm so sick of Violet!
I love Charlotte though
Please keep Addison and Sam together Let Addison have Sam's baby it will spice up the show they are a good couple together with lost of chemistry from my point of view
Please let Sam and Addison reunite they make a good interracial couple. She should have Sam's baby and that will change his mind and bring some depth into the show.
I agree the Charlotte/Cooper/Mason/Erica storyline is pretty B grade. I love Char/Cooper and seeing how Charlotte is really growing, but it's still a pretty lame storyline. Really what are the two options from now?
- Erica gets amazingly cured by Derek in Seattle... what then? Erica and Mason fade into the background and become irregular guest stars
- Erica dies and Charlotte & Cooper have to deal with the drama, angst and challenge of raising Mason on their own.
What do you think will happen???
I still think there is hope Char/Coop will get pregnant at some point. I hope the show continues running long enough for us to see the baby!
Addisam Yay!!!! It's about time!!!
Call me a romantic or whatever, but I am still pulling for Pete and Violet. She so wanted to stay with him but left when he made it clear he did not want her there. Now I think he is realizing that he does still have feelings for her. I hope she wises up as well and they reconcile.
When will Addison see that Jake is the one for her?! That was a bad choice sleeping with Sam but I never thought until this until someone above mentioned it- what is she ends up pregnant from this one-night stand with Sam?!! That would be something! I hope Erica tells Mason what's going on soon. I can totally see why she doesn't want to because she has been the only constant in his life and she thinks he will be very hurt and upset when he hears of her diagnosis but its obvious by the way he is acting- he knows somethings up! Charolotte is really doing good with him. ... much better than I thought she would! I wonder what Violets going to do if Scott wants to step up their relationship being that she says "it's only sex?!" Plus she picked up on Petes jealousy... is their a chance for them still??

Q&A: Energy Audit
Q&A: Rebates on equipment and incentives to weatherize
Q&A: Energy efficiency tips
If a furnace is more than 20 years old it's due for replacement, for two reasons. It's probably inefficient. And 20 years is about the life-expectancy of hot air furnaces. You don't want a breakdown during a cold spell!
7 to 12 degrees.
Turning down the thermostat for even two hours helps, but the longer the setback period the bigger the savings.
Check every month, and clean or replace if dirty.
Heat loss through windows usually accounts for less than 20% of natural gas usage in the home. And new windows are rarely twice as good as the windows they replace. So unless high performance windows are installed, the replacement windows may be little better than the old ones. Savings from window replacement rarely exceed 10 percent. Your money would be better spent on insulating blinds or curtains that you can close at night.

This week, national non-profit Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) recognized Minnesota for statewide efforts to lower drop-out rates and connect youth with higher education and jobs after high school. JAG awarded the local affiliate Job's for Minnesota Graduates it's most prestigious honor, the National Performance Award, after earning a 5 out of 5 rating in their yearly state assessments.
Jobs for Minnesota Graduates is a school-to-career program that seeks to raise student aspirations while teaching teamwork and leadership. The program also cultivates partnerships between schools, communities, and local/national businesses to help students transition from high school to the workforce.
The program tracks students as they leave the program to see how they are doing post-graduation. In Minnesota, 2011 graduates who participated in the program showed remarkable success just a year after high school:
• High School Graduation Rate: 97.94%
• Positive Outcomes Rate: 80.00%
• Aggregate Employment Rate: 60.00%
• Full-time Jobs Rate: 63.16%
• Full-time Placement Rate: 92.98%
• Pursuing Higher Education: 44.21%
These numbers are especially impressive considering two-thirds of Job's for Minnesota Graduate participants are employed full-time compared to 26% of all teenagers who are currently working.
Ensuring our youth are supported from birth to career is a critical part of Minnesota's economic success and development. This recognition comes as the Minnesota Department of Education, Office of Higher Education and MnSCU leaders Commissioner Cassellius, Director Pogemiller and Chancellor Rosenstone have begun efforts to align efforts from PK-20.
JAG is a state-based national non-profit organization that works to preventing dropouts among at-risk youth while connecting them to career development. The organization is overseen by of a Board of Directors that includes Governors Jack Markell (Delaware), Mike Beebe (Arkansas) and Mitch Daniels (Indiana).

Jun always removes the seeds, so I don't know how bitter they are. The
'pith' or whatever it's called, that the seeds are imbedded in, has the
consistency of packing 'popcorn'. The melon is bitter.

Jun doesn't soak it in salt water. Brining it removes the bitterness, but
that's the part that is beneficial, for BG and 'other stuff'. Jun says that
what's left is 'junk'! (She just got home after four months in Thailand.
She brought back herbs for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and
more. I'm just so happy to have her back home.) I mostly get it served in
soups. It's bitter, but I love it! I'm working on a recipe for making
Garlic Dill Pickled Bitter Melon. Jun says she doesn't think it'll be as
beneficial as fresh, but she'll make it for me. I love pickles more than
cukes. ;-)

Welcome back! In this week's episode, Echo found herself in an engagement gone wrong that she wasn't prepared (i.e. imprinted) to deal with. Also, through flashbacks, we also learned more about the mysterious past of the Dollhouse and its staff.
More on that in a bit. First I'd like to address a few things I failed to mention in my first blog about the show. It's really just an assortment of ideas compiled while watching "Ghost", the pilot, again.
* The episode both began and ended with Caroline, seemingly Echo's true personality, on video. We opened on a security camera's view of Adelle's office and closed on a video yearbook. Now, if you'll permit me to put on my subtext hat, I'd say this is certainly evocative of the pilot's opening line, "Nothing is what it seems." Joss chooses not to show us Caroline in all her HD glory, but instead removes us slightly by placing her on tape.
* During Caroline's video yearbook message, she all but confirms who the "she" is that is referred to in the opening scene with Adelle. In that scene, Caroline explains she was just trying to, "take her place in the world... like she always said." In the video yearbook, Caroline goes on to thank Miss Dundee for teaching her to do that very thing. Now the question begs, is Caroline thinking out loud in that opening scene or does Caroline mention her because Adelle has crossed paths with Miss Dundee as well?
* Alpha, who last week I referred to as Naked DVD Watching Man, was sitting amidst the dead bodies of a man and a woman while watching Caroline's video yearbook. Could these corpses be that of Caroline's parents?
* I'm sorry; the theme song is really starting to grow on me. The first time I heard it, I was left feeling cold and melancholy. Oh, you agree but don't see anything growing on you? Wait, what's that? That's how Joss wants you to feel? Oh, he's one of those crazies who believe the opening theme sets the tone for the show? Oh, okay, job well done then, I guess.
Thanks for allowing me to step back and revise/update some thoughts. You may also have seen Dollhouse popping up in entertainment news a lot this past week. After a rather lackluster premiere, Apple revealed the show was its number 1 downloaded television program from iTunes. While it's certainly something to be proud of, it's not enough to rely on.
Judging from the posts on our boards, most seemed to enjoy the first episode enough to return for at least one more engagement with Echo. That's good enough for me. All we need is to give the show a bit of room to grow and change.
And change it did. This week's episode featured wall-to-wall action and revelations.
Through a series of flashbacks beginning with the escape of Alpha, the audience was taken on a trip through the previous three months at the Dollhouse. As the pilot began with the line, "Nothing is what it seems," I'm going to play devil's advocate while describing these flashbacks and not necessarily advocate that everything we're being told is what actually happened. Sure, we're told that it's Alpha who left Dr. Saunders looking like a jigsaw puzzle but how do we know for sure? I'm not trying to send myself, or you, down any blind alleys. I'm simply suggesting that we're being shown what Joss wants us to see. Whoever did the killing is obviously someone with a brutal skill. Precision cuts made in exactly the right areas have killed Dolls and staff throughout the compound. But one has to ask, why did Alpha kill everyone in the shower except Echo? Did he not have the quarter of a second it would take to kill her? I doubt that.
As Alpha took out Echo's previous handler Samuelson, the rest of the flashbacks consisted of Boyd's recruitment and first days at the Dollhouse. We're taken on a journey with him. He's extremely reluctant to form any sort of connection with Echo. Unfortunately that's not really how this gig works.
What was also nice about these flashbacks is that they gave us some context for what happened between Caroline "volunteering" and where we are now. When Boyd first came to the Dollhouse, Echo was already one of their most requested actives.
We're also given a more intimate look at the various procedures the Dollhouse uses to create their actives. Code phrases seem to be the life blood of many of these procedures. Much like Nip/Tuck's "Tell me what you don't like about yourself," I would expect to hear phrases like "Everything's going to be all right," and "Did I fall asleep," many more times before this show is done.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Dan, I watched this episode. It was more than just a Lost rip-off of revelatory flashbacks. There was bow hunting in this episode. Bow hunting! And you're writing about code phrases?!?"
All right. All right. I'll get to the bow hunting.
Richard O'Connell (Matt Keeslar of Waiting for Guffman and The Middleman) hires Echo for an engagement. Much is made about the price an imprint costs and O'Connell actually has to pay more due to the "additional risk," of his request.
And what could be more risky than extreme mountain sports. You know, white water rafting, mountain climbing, being hunted by the guy you just slept with?
For those claiming the show lacks a certain Whedoness, please tell me you felt it when O'Connell turned on a dime and the show went to commercial with the line "I'll give you a five minute head start. And then I'm coming after you."
It's a good thing Boyd is monitoring near by with a satellite link to the Dollhouse, yes? Just as long as there isn't some psycho working with (not for) O'Connell, out there pretending to be a Park Ranger, all should be good. Oh, there is? Well, then... all is not good.
Boyd tips off the Dollhouse to the snag, incapacitates his assailant and goes out after Echo. You know, Harry Lennix is an actor I was familiar with from two projects; The Matrix sequels and 24's sixth season. It's sad how underutilized he was in those. Here, Joss is giving him something to play with. This episode was designed around the expansion of his character and it definitely worked for me.
Echo stumbles upon the ranger station. Probably not a good thing since we've all ready seen some psycho in the ranger's clothes and truck. After drinking some water, Echo uses a walkie to radio for help. Of course, Dick... I mean, Richard has a walkie of his own. O'Connell's Most Dangerous Game is getting old. He's finally worked Echo up so much that she proclaims she'll be the one to kill him.
If only she wasn't so thirsty. The canteen she drank from was spiked with a drug to not kill her but instead make things spin a bit. Well, that's if you're a normal person. If you're a Doll, you may just end up running into past incarnations of yourself; some real and some imprinted. Echo bumped into Caroline from the video yearbook and even had an acid trip back to the Dollhouse's shower with Alpha's handy work all around her.
Not a minute too late, Boyd finds her. Oh, wait, or maybe that's a minute too early as immediately after finding Echo, Boyd takes one of O'Connell's arrows through the back. Now, no matter what procedure Topher cooked up, it's Boyd who must trust Echo with his life. Boyd gives her his gun and asks if she knows how to use it. Her response? "Four brothers. None of them Democrats."
After nearly two episodes of Dushku playing extremely vulnerable characters, we got to see her in the type of knock-down drag-out fight we all love her for. Fighting for her life, she clutches one of O'Connell's arrows and jams it into the side of his neck.
After returning to the Dollhouse, Echo's mind is wiped yet again. Adele and Laurence look into how something like this could've happened with their extensive background checks. Well, what if the background they were checking wasn't real? Someone went to incredible lengths to hire Echo for this engagement. I know! We can ask the fake ranger. He'll surely be able to provide us with some information. Oh, he's dead? How? Oh, precision cuts again. This is getting serious.
Adelle's right hand man, Laurence, doesn't seem to have much love for the Dollhouse. He's extremely intent on protecting its secrecy but doesn't seem to give a damn about its volunteers or employees. In the final scene, he messes with a wiped Echo. "If it was up to me, I'd put you in the attic. Or the ground." Okay, yes, he threatened to kill her. Is it wrong I'm more intrigued by "The Attic"? Could this be a real place inside the Dollhouse where disturbed Dolls go? Their own institution, perhaps? Now there's a storyline I'd like to see explored.
As Laurence leaves Echo behind we see she's retained a piece of the "Shoulder to the wheel," memory despite having been wiped.
So, certainly more action packed than last week's episode. Did you personally like it more? Do you see more or less potential in the show?
I'll leave you with a snippet of Joss from Matt Mitovich's multi-part Q&A with the man behind Dollhouse...
"I love the show and where we got to at the end of the season has us all buzzing and we can't wait for people to see it. I would hardly say we're done."

NU investigates claim of stuffed animal hanging by its neck near desk of a black employee
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporter January 25, 2013 9:00PM
Northwestern University will not offer a human sexuality class this fall after nationwide notoriety. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: February 28, 2013 6:45AM
Northwestern University is investigating a claim of racial harassment by a black employee who allegedly found a stuffed animal hanging by its neck near his desk at the school's Evanston campus last month.
Michael Collins, a maintenance worker, said he immediately filed a report with campus police the morning of Dec. 3 after finding a black panda teddy bear dangling next to his desk at the university's Tech Institute building, 2145 Sheridan Rd., where he works distributing parts to various tradesmen, such as plumbers.
"Obviously Northwestern University takes such matters very seriously," said Alan Cubbage, vice president for university relations. "The university is investigating the allegations in regard to this incident and we are doing so very thoroughly."
Collins, who lives in the south suburbs, has worked at the university for five years.
"I am not taking it as a joke. Stuff like that hits home to black Americans. … I had a cousin who was hung in the '60s in Mississippi by the Klan," he said.
Collins said he filed two previous complaints with the university because a co-worker called him a racial slur in separate incidents several days before he arrived to work on a Monday to find the strung-up teddy bear.
The school "does not tolerate any form of harassment in the workplace," said Cubbage, who couldn't provide details of the investigation.
Collins said problems began when he severed a Facebook friendship with a co-worker after seeing racist comments on his page.
Collins filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in which he also claims he's been skipped over for promotion.
"It seems like the folks here at the university just want this to go away," said Collins, who hopes to open a dialogue about race at the workplace.
"The biggest thing is, I don't want anything like this to happen again."

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - A serious fight involving about 100 people broke out at a restaurant in Gaithersburg early Sunday morning, according to Montgomery County police.
Police say a man was shot and five others were stabbed during the fight at the New Red Rock Cafe in the Festival Shopping center around 1:30 Sunday morning. They were all taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
In addition, a woman suffered cuts and a male was struck with a blunt object. Others with injuries refused treatment.
Officers say they saw a fight involving about 100 people in the parking lot when they arrived.
"The officers were able to establish a perimeter, and bring the situation under control," says Lucille Baur, a police spokeswoman. "Many individuals fled from the scene once police arrived."
Police say they were able to bring the situation under control, but witnesses and participants in the fight weren't cooperative in providing suspect information.
The cafe advertised a special Rapper Karaoke Night that attracted a large audience from across the D.C. area. The fight is believed to have started between women inside the cafe, and then carried over to the parking lot where it escalated and several men joined in.
County police and Gaithersburg City police are still investigating. They have not identified any suspects or have any suspect descriptions.
Anyone with information is asked to call 240-773-6237.

Having a hard time recognizing scowling Scottish beefcake Gerard Butler? Maybe that's because his most prominent role before 300 had him hidden behind a mask as the titular ghoul in director Joel Schumacher's 2004 adaptation The Phantom of the Opera. Since wrapping 300, the 37-year-old actor has signed up to play opposite Glenn Close in an adaptation of Emile Zola's Therese Raquin and next year will romance Hilary Swank in P.S., I Love You. Butler is also reportedly the frontrunner to star as Snake Plisskin in a planned remake of Escape from New York.
Prior to 300's record bow its $70 million opening last weekend set a new standard for March Butler's career wasn't exactly soaring. Despite solid reviews for Phantom, most of the buzz landed on his much-lauded teenage co-star, Emmy Rossum. Butler may now be looking like Hollywood's latest go-to action hero, but in the years before landing the role of 300's Spartan King Leonidas the actor says he ''was like a salivating dog in terms of how much I wanted to be involved'' he paid his dues, vamping as Dracula in Wes Craven's Dracula 2000, playing Attilla the Hun in a made-for-TV movie, and languishing in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it turn as Lead Seaman in 1997's James Bond outing Tomorrow Never Dies. His big break came with the 2002 Matthew McConaughey sci-fi flick Reign of Fire,which led to a role as Angelina Jolie's foe in the Lara Croft Tomb Raider sequel. The following year he became a household name among theater geeks and goths alike, singing Andrew Lloyd Webber tunes while smoldering in white face paint and a black cape as the Phantom. While he enjoys doing action movies, Butler says ''there are many other things I can do, and I would never stay in the one genre,'' and the actor's post-Phantom roles include the limited release soccer drama The Game of Their Lives (think Dead Poets Society in cleats) and an underpublicized Beowulf epic, Beowulf and Grendel.
Preparing for 300, Butler left his vocal warm-up tapes at home and began a strict regimen six hours per day of weights (going so far as to pump iron between takes) and cardio in order to bulk up to Spartan proportions. ''When I saw the results that I was getting, I thought, Y'know, I'm not [Arnold] Schwarzenegger, I'm not a [Jean-Claude] Van Damme,'' he says, ''but it would be great to stand up there and be imposing.'' Forget about those abs 300's massive opening had all of Hollywood bowing down to King Leonidas.

orbiTouch keyboard lets you type and click without keys
RSI getting you down? You could use voice recognition software, but that usually still involves a mouse, which can suck if your wrists and fingers are in terrible pain. Enter the orbiTouch keyboard, an ergonomic keyboard that lets you type and control your mouse without having to hit a single button.
It's controlled two round "domes," each of which you can slide into eight positions. It's nothing like QWERTY: each quadrant on the right side has five letters, numbers, or symbols, each in one of eight colors. Slide the dome to one of the quadrants, and then slide the dome on the left to the segment of the color that corresponds to the letter you want. There, you've typed one letter! Mouse mode is more intuitive: slide the right dome around to point the cursor, then move the left dome to the right or left to right or left click.
The idea hasn't exactly caught on so far, and it's pretty easy to see why. But someday something will replace QWERTY, right? Please? You can purchase an orbiTouch for $400 from the company's website, or from retailers like Amazon.

of Bites and Brews - Pittsburgh , PA
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Bites and Brews, which says:
"Bites & Brews is a new place, right next to the Elbow Room on Ellsworth. It's a pizza and sandwich joint (FYI: cash only), done in industrial HoJo orange, which I hate. THIRTY taps, but what a waste of lines: this is the most mediocre line of thirty craft/import taps I've seen in years. Some very cautious wholesaler rep must have picked these. The only out of the ordinary selections when I visited were Allagash Grand Cru and Young's Ramrod; good beers, and that's why I upped the selection rating to "Good," but all alone in a selection of taps you could easily find elsewhere in the city. Bottle selection was even worse. Yawn."

12 big, bold concepts for homesteading on Earth's final frontier
Back in 2000, then-President Clinton convened a panel of leading oceanographers and explorers. That panel ultimately produced a report entitled "Discovering Earth's Final Frontier". What they actually developed, outlined in that document, was the world's first and only national strategy for the exploration of the world's oceans.
What might this now defunct panel have dreamed for near-future America? Might we have ventured en masse into this vast, unpopulated frontier? Could we have set up homesteads, townships and colonies in a whole new wave (you're welcome) of manifest destiny? Could we have established a fleet of exploration vessels and colonial enterprises — a modern-day, sea-faring Starfleet? Could we still? Here are 12 sea-faring designs and concepts capable of taking us home — to the sea.

Carb set up help.
So continuing my budget beater 350 vette build, as a couple people had suggested I picked up a used Performer rpm for 50$ a couple weeks ago, yest I got a used b&m 20413 holeshot converter from a friend that is stepping up to a 4500 so having been in his car I know it works well. And today I picked up a used 750dp, 4779. I had a 650 dp and traded it for the 750 as the guy is class racing 358 dirt modified and the 750 isn't legal.
So what I'm trying to determine is a decent baseline for the Carb, squirter size etc. It has 30cc accel pumps now, 70/80 jets, and 28/37! Squirters.
Its going on
350, stock bottom end, 4 valve relief flat tops
416 heads, 1094 headgaskets
Lunati 224/234 , 465/488
Performer rpm
Headers to 3.5spiral flows as sidepipes, 3" all the way down the sides
TH350, 3000 stall
411 gears
Timing at 18 initial, 38 total, vacuum advance hooked up to manifold.
Runs on 94 exclusively with zero pinging
Lumpy 77 Vette.
Have a qjet on it now, but when i install the converter and intake this week I will be switching to the Holley so looking for a good baseline and i will creep up on it till the snow flies.
Lunati 224/234 , 465/488 Thats not the same cam you said you had before...
why the different specs now? what is the Lunati cam part number..
(nothing wrong with it, just wondering)
4779 750carb. 70 pri and 80sec jets are fine. (this will probabily be your best jetting in the mid hot summer Ottawa weather.
carb jetting range will be 70 to 74 primary and 80 to 85 sec. Get some
rear jet extensions.and the matching notched rear float . track testing will tell you what the best jetting will be (track MPH)
.031 pri and .028 to .031 sec shooters is good. The .037's are probabily too big.
the correct accelorator pump cams are the most critical thing.
If that is the actual cam specs, recurve the distributor for 24-26 deg initial base at idle (no vacuum advance)
and 34 to 36deg total max advance.. (a 10deg mech advance curve) then use ported vacuum advance.
If thats the cam you really got you should have gone for the 3500 stall converter...but what is done is done.
unless the balancer timing tab location is fubared 38deg is a hair too much total timing. track testing will show you.
usually its 34 to 36deg for best power and track MPH with those heads.
It will run best with a bit more inital base and abit less total (shorter mech adv curve length)
When I used a 750 I think my jets were 71/79,power valve was changed to match vacuum. squirters were stock.It worked quite well.I had an open plenum manifold.
When using the RPM hi rise maniifold on a corvette you want to use this
OEM corvette air cleaner. Best under hood clearance.
When using this air cleaner base and a 14x3 " element and a holley 4779 carb
the carb choke horn gets too close to the air cleaner top.
The cure is to remove the choke horn. (the factory OEM holleys had down leg boosters
and a shorter choke horn. This is not an issue with a Qjet carb , just the aftermarket holleys
with straight leg style boosters and the taller choke.
The Holley Proform HP 750 style carb body kit is a great up grade.
Your completely right, In the garage now actually, lunati 10001, 214/223, 443/465, oops.....
Does that make my current timing curve a little more realistic?
I'm running an after market L88 hood and have lots of Clearance, as it sits now with the performer, the qjet, 1" Carb spacer, and a non dropped base air cleaner I still have at least an 1.5" clearance.
Will def order squirters this week, I have a jet kit and a bunch of Holley stuff laying around, just no squirters for some reason.
Los of room for sure, with a L88 hood.
The holley and RPM manifold should run pretty good,
Getting the amount of exhaust heat riser flow volume up to the
manifold plenum to heat the holley carb just right is critical.
Full open unrestricted flow is too hot for Hot August Ottawa cruising. Makes the carb too hot.
full blocked is too cold for cold Ottawa winter driving ( if quick winter warm up matters)
One side of the intake manifold heat passage blocked off and one side restricted with a 1/4 to 1/2" hole at the intake gasket, is a good compromise for summer/winter driving. Getting this just right makes a good difference and takes some work.
Full blocked off heat riser passages is best for hot summer and max power.
(I prefer to fill the {twinned} exhaust heat /egr passages in the exhaust ports of the
416 heads with molten aluminum (old melted down pistons)
You can try the Qjet carb with an adapter, on the rpm intake too.
I recomend a divided/split style plenum Qjet adapter/spacer
(Not 4 hole) Now you will have two good carbs for your RPM manifold.
Sometimes the accelerator pump linkage arm gets bent , on used double pumpers.
Needs to be bent back to shape to get proper fuel shot action.
Fbird is right I bought used double pumper both the arms were bent had fix that and another thing u need do is look at the air gap intake and u will see where they have cut small slot out of the divider on the rpm it is best to do that to it will make little more power
ones that work. Every car is different. There is like 6 or 8 pump cams
each has two or three mounting positions.
You can work with the .037" shooter by solding it up and drill by hand with a
1/32" drill (.031") ... if the .037 proves too big, (too fat a shot all at once)
(I think it will be)
From that point you can hone by hand with the drill to increase the shooter
.032 .034" etc. Usually the cam has more to do with it than the shooter size
itself. .028-.031 range.
A afr gauge is nice to use. (even a simple heated narrow band is good) lots of driving to evaluate. Engine must be warmed up.
correct plugs and gap. Need traction... the car will show you what it likes.
The 3000 high stall makes it easy. So does agressive initial base timing.
Use ported vacuum... you will see why, when you get into it.
The blocked riser is a ok for summer driving when its hot.
Incorrect manifold temp ( too cold for the day) will effect throttle response
and best jetting. so..... its up you you.
cold manifold cold day wants richer jets and more shot as the fuel vapourizes slower. (or a hotter manifold)
hot is opposite. (leaner jets smaller shot) Its up to you to realize this and tune, retune for the day
or find the happy average. (one side with limited flow, other side blocked seems to work, ok)
Its all about fuel vapourization....liquid fuel does not burn.
Before you install the carb, flip it over and preset the pri and sec throttles idle position/ transfer slot exposure evenly
Throttle response and "drivability has a ton to do with the idle --off idle transition circuit.
If this is out of wack no amount of fooling with jets and shooters will get it right.
This where the proform-holley 750 HP carb body upgrade comes in, with its swappable tunable idle and high speed air bleeds
as well as smooth air flow design.
Its all about dialing it in for YOUR MOTOR. These 750 carbs can be dialed in very very sharp.
Its up to you to do that.
Like I said , if you are willing to tune,, you will end up with two really good carbs for this manifold.
the holley 750 and the Qjet.
The split plenum Qjet to square bore carb adapter is rare.
You can make a custom one starting with the common 4 hole type Q jet to square bore carb adapter.
Just carve it into a split design. now you can mix and match the split with a open spacer combo.
to get that Qjet just right on the RPM manifold.
What colour is the Vette going to be? I used to restore those cars for a living.
With such a mild cam and more initial I hope I will be OK running on the primary idle circuit and leaving the secondary closed up?
This is wrong. The holley carb idles using both the primary and seconday throttles.
It idles on all 4 barrels at once.
set it up so all 4 are even. You want even "4 corner idle" Thats the beauti of a holley. Don;t fugg it up by closing the sec throttles at idle.
That is not how a holley works. Don't shoot your self in the foot.
From that point the idle speed is fine adjusted by base idle timing, PCV system air flow (PCV valve choice) and fine adjustment of the throttle(S) position at idle.
Closed sec throttles will create the primarys to be too far open.
You want balanced 4 corner flow at idle.
recurve the distributor after you find the best idle timing, throttle position
PCV flow balance.
The throttles ALL 4 throttles must be in the sweet spot at idle for the idle and idle transition to work correctly and smoothly.
99% of the holley problems are tuner error, not carb design problems
That goes equal for Qjets and Edelbrocks too.
Q jets and edelbrocks are different.
