|January 5, 2007 at 8:35 pm #250117
Despite the absurdity of much of his post, saulgoode actually made a valid point that to me is the major flaw in Ladon's candidacy, not the alleged morality record.
I am opposed to a rubric. More precisely, I'm opposed to an interactive rubric. I don't mind giving the film raters suggestions, or outlining a sort of guide for them to follow, but to specifically instruct them what to rate a film based on pre-written criteria seems sort of unappealing to me. It would also most likely eliminate my freedom to rate a film with more precise numbers; 7.5, 6.2, etc.
Telling a film-rater how to rate films is supremely patronizing. There are always instances in which unforseen details merit a tweaking in the rating. Though I am not opposed to a general standard or guideline for the film-rating process, raters must be given the respect of being able to use their judgment and free thought to assign ratings to a film.
Watson: Your last post is a wise one. You have voiced your complaints, and there's no further reason to bicker about them. We know from experience Ladon is tough to outlast in that regard.
|January 5, 2007 at 8:58 pm #250134
I think there should be a sample rubric, but ratings should be given like they currently are, typing in the desired number.
|January 5, 2007 at 10:40 pm #250167
Whether Watson is Mudslinging or showing a legitimate concern, I think this issue should be addressed as it hasn't only showed it's face in TCOTY. The abusing of film ratings is a problem and should be one of the first things to be fixed, in my opinion. Although some people have chosen to ignore this issue and just go along with the responses in their film thread, I feel that something officially linked to the Brickfilms.com name should be accurate no matter what the cost.
I do have a solution for this problem, and I hope you, Ladon, take it upon yourself to read and sincerely consider this suggestion.
My Solution is a pretty simple one, Moderation and Limits. Yes, these both seem Extreme but they are totally ration. The film directory is a place in which Brickfilms.com Officially accepts (or rejects) a film. If we did a better job at making sure the films that are accepted were good quality films then there would be no reason to rate a film to much lower than the average rating. Yes, there are some exceptions, and I am sure we could bend a little for those films. The Next move would be to Eliminate voter privacy.
Before I even explain the next step of my method, I would like to point of that some people do disagree already.
[/spoiler]I am sure there are a few more but I am satisfied with those two examples.
My Solution would be to allow other users see who voted what. Why? Because by not allowing privacy it would discourage people who like to play jokes on Certain directors or even want to down their film out of anger or some other emotion. Beside each rating there would be a report option,(This is just a side idea: it could only appear if a person rates a film lower than average or above average) if a fellow member sees some one giving a film an unjust rating (e,i; all ratings of 3 and/or below) they can report this and allow a Mod or some other form of authority to check this out and make sure it is a just rating. To decide whether or not this is a just rating he would look at the average staff rating and/or User rating(I think most people can tell when some one blatantly rates something low). If it is considered to be "just" the person of Authority can click an option that no long allows this rating to be questioned, if it is unjust there should be some form of Discipline taking upon the rater in question, maybe a PM warning at first then something more serious if he/she persists.
Some argue that The raters should get privacy. I don't think so. Why does it matter if some one knows that you do or do not like a film? They see it in the P&R forum all the time. If you don't want some one to see your rating then don't rate it in the first place. This suggestion does not control the individual's Decision, it just warns them that if they do the wrong thing that they will get some form of discipline. What would the form of discipline be? I would assume PM them with a warning and then if it is still a problem remove the rights of voting, but that is not my decision.
If we Eliminated low-grade films there would be no need to rate films low. Then the only reason to rate film low is if you didn't enjoy it so you rated the "Enjoyment" down. If a person DOES rate a film row for reasons of unfairness then yes, They do need to be "chased down".
So, my solution is by eliminating the low-grade of films we Officially accept and by keeping check with who rates what, it would all be fixed. What about the films already reviewed? You should get some assistants and slowly fix this problem.
I think we could sacrifice that small amount of privacy for peace of mind that we won't be cheated out of a fair film rating.
About the rubric system:
Even if you do not add a description to every number (1-10) in the rubric I suggest you have them all. There are times we need "In between" Numbers to Justly rate things, and by eliminating some of the numbers you are then controlling what could be a just rating.
I hope you read and consider my suggestions and comments.
|January 5, 2007 at 11:36 pm #250179
I don't like the idea of a rubric. I wouldn't have paid 3 dollars to follow your guidelines. I will rate as I please. I do think the staff ratings being displayed is a good idea, however.
|January 5, 2007 at 11:46 pm #250183
The Rubric system is just a neutral guideline system, it would help members decide how to rate a film. Really, what is to dislike about the rubric system? Could some one please explain?
|January 5, 2007 at 11:53 pm #250188
I'm not in favor of that solution, Chosen1. Revealing everyone's ratings could create some bad blood between members. Additionally, forcing moderators have to check ratings creates a whole bunch of work that will waste people's time and provide only a minimal amount of benefit.
Something else that hasn't been mentioned here is how we plan to enact all these changes. Are the candidates expecting Z to do all this work? People are making some pretty hefty suggestions that would require major changes to our current system. If not, do candidates plan to do the work themselves, or have other people do it? Have they considered that Z might not want other people messing around with all the hard work he's done in the directory?
Right now, individual ratings aren't kept. When someone adds a new rating, it just updates all of the values that are being stored in each category for a film. That means that If we want to start new systems where ratings are tracked, it could never be backwards compatible with all of the ratings that have been applied to the movies in the directory already.
Therefore, under Ladon's proposed system, the staff would have to go back and re-rate all of the old films in order to populate the staff ratings section that he proposes with numbers. The result will be that the majority of films in the directory will likely never receive staff ratings, since it's unlikely that the staff will be able to rate all 1000+ films that are in the directory now.

I apologize to now finally go off topic and addressing more personal points, but I don't feel it warrants another topic. If anyone wants to respond to anything relating to my own character, I'll be making a free-for-all thread later today where you can bring it up.
I fail to find a better way to phrase this, so excuse me for the outburst, but screw you. I've made it clear that I get quite irked when someone claims to know my motives, especially when I have stayed far away from making them known. I also am amazed that you still see this all as some sort of an attack, instead of a legitimate question of your thoughts concerning rating abuse. I am not here to discredit you or make you look foolish; I thought Watson brought up a good point, and defended him. I also don't know why you assume I actually care who nominated you.
I thought you said you weren't here to play politician?
Regardless, when did I ever say I still don't support you? And even if you no longer had my vote (which you do as of this moment, as no one else has proposed anything yet), am I not allowed to change my mind when new candidates and ideas come forward?
Watson is not running to be Grand Master of the Forums, and so it is not really comparable. Or to clarify, Watson is not asking Ladon to respect something important to Watson, but that Ladon respect something that he wishes to be in charge of.
To the current topic of discussion: I'm not sure how I feel about a rubric system. I think Krick brings up a good compromise, in which the rubric is displayed to clarify the ratings, but people can still input the exact numbers they think are correct.
|January 6, 2007 at 3:00 am #250227
Which would also eliminate need for a major redesign by Z.

I would personally like to see what the other candidates have in mind as a plan. Candidates criticizing another candidate without having yet laid out a plan of their own looks desperate and does look like mudslinging. Despite Watson's concern, this does not need to go on for nearly 3 pages and is almost something that could have been solved privately instead of trying to make a scene which doesn't look good for the attacking party either.
Ladon's goals are not set in stone. They're detailed laid out ideas with multiple examples showing one way to accomplish a revamp of the Film Ratings system which is much more than I can see from any other candidate.

Mr. Less
Last time I checked, the only other official candidate for Ministry of Film Ratings is Nightowl.
|January 6, 2007 at 3:50 am #250245
And there are 24 days left. And these new positions were only announced three days ago.
|January 6, 2007 at 6:04 am #250291
To me there is too much uncertainty in the current ratings system. Every person has decided what is average for themselves, which is creating unfair ratings. Yes, the rubric does restrict what you can rate a film, but it is for the better. With a rubric, you have a description of what you actually felt about the film. No, it isn't telling you what to feel, it's helping you to better understand and appreciate the quality of the film you just watched. Perhaps there was fine work that you overlooked, like crisp and exciting sound design. Simply putting in a number doesn't requite thought, because suddenly you become aware that other people may have given it a different number. Suddenly you're trying to boost the rating to give the film what you think it deserves, therefore ruining the balance of the ratings across the directory.
I see more approval for the Staff Rating than the rubric, which is understandable, because not many of you have had a chance to use a rubric before to help you understand what marks you are giving. I credit the genesis of the idea of the Staff Rating to Cometgreen, who mentioned it while I was having a discussion with him in chat. I saw it was a good idea, and I decided to do some more research into it.
The Staff Rating would be a new feature. It wouldn't be expected for staff members to go back and re-rate all of the films in the directory, just as it has never been expected of reviewers to go back and eliminate the poorer films when the standards are raised. It will simply be something that is included from this point onwards. If they please they can go back and give it a rating, if they think it's an older film that gets enough attention or if they just enjoy it, or for whatever reason they come up with.
What I want to change about the ratings is the feeling put into it. It shouldn't be about emotionless numbers, but being able to properly scale the score you're giving a film without thinking about the final result. This is why I chose the rubric, as this is exactly what it allows. For those who do not support the use of a rubric, perhaps I can change your mind. If not, I really don't mind.
To those who say that I'm not caring enough about the ratings system, I'm not sure what you base this on, but from this point on I will interpret it as mudslinging, as the evidence of my dedication is still clearly presented on the first page of this thread.
My views have come under question as well, which I consider to be an attempt to distract users from what I actually want to accomplish. I will state them once more for the people who insist on picking apart my words in order to better their own egos. I do not condone the abuse of the ratings system. This is exactly why I am pushing to make these changes, so instead of a few numbers, the raters will feel more responsible when they're asked for their opinion. I will not condemn my fellow brickfilmers for letting their emotions get the best of them. You are forgetting that these people are just like everyone else. In fact, they most likely are everyone else. If I were to begin accusing people of foul play, and insisting that they be hunted down and banned, who would be left? You obviously have no idea how many people have been tempted to punish others for their forum behavior by tampering with the ratings.
I realize that people have abused the system. From my very first post I have indicated that I wish to change the system to be less open to that sort of abuse. How is it that you have overlooked that in order to create an argument?
|January 6, 2007 at 6:08 am #250293
Sir, rating 'as you please' is the exact problem here. Because 'as you please' isn't the same as 'as someone else pleases', which means that the films aren't getting the rating that they deserve. If everyone decides for themselves what an average film is, then the ratings are never going to be accurate, and an accurate rating is what the director deserves.
|January 6, 2007 at 7:04 am #250296
I've realised my error now, and I apologise to all involved.
I do recognize that tampering with ratings is wrong, I just don't wish to use the word 'condemn', because of the negative connotations that are too easily placed with it. Because of my lack of explanation on that subject, there was ensuing confusion. I apologise for not being more clear.
I hope we can now resume discussion about the changes I wish to make if I'm elected as Minister of Film Rating.
|January 6, 2007 at 8:01 am #250307
Just something to think about…
The trouble with ratings scales, as has been noted, is that those with extreme opinions, dishonest or not, have a greater affect on the final number than those with more measured opinions, and there is no way to coax everyone to the same level of zeal or moderation in rating. The proposed rubric system is one solution to this, but it demands a certain time commitment from the film reviewer that may be ok for a dedicated ratings group but is, I fear, too large of a barrier for casual reviwers.
The ratings scale problem is similar to that encountered in ratings voting systems: if you want your candidate to win, you're best off lying and rating that candidate a ten and everyone else a zero. One solution to this is Approval Voting, which does away with the scale and has only "yes" or "no", eliminating the advantage of those with extreme opinions by forcing everyone to use the extreme. I don't see how this system would be of much use to brickfilm ratings however.
Another interesting voting system is Ranked Pairs. The voter ranks the candidates from most favored to least favored. This also does away with explicit ratings, reducing the problem of voters gaming the system by rating in the extreme in contradiction to their true ratings. To find the best candidate, Ranked Pairs takes each pair of candidates in turn, A and B, and looks to see if more ballots ranked A above B than B above A; if so, A is better than B. Since any reviewer is unlikely to have seen all films, rather than think in terms of a complete ballot with all candidates or films ranked, it is better to think in terms of preferences such as A above B. A preference of A above B is only added to the ballot box if a reviewer has watched and ranked both A and B.
From an interface usability perspective, the "review a film" part of the film page need ask but a single question to add to the ratings information: it could choose a film from those the reviewer has already watched and simply ask "is this new film better or worse than this old film you've already seen?. A more complex version might list some or all of the reviewer's past rankings and ask for a click setting position the new film in the list. The "rubric" is merely comparing films to one another and requires, I believe, less effort than trying to follow a scoring sheet. It's certainly not as accurate as a careful and honestly done ratings system; the advantages are simplicity and greater robustness to dishonesty. Of course, implementation would be quite different from what is in place now and possibly not worth the effort.
Then again, this only works for an "overall" or "enjoyment" type category; trying to remember the quality of sound effects in some film you saw 15 months ago to compare to those in the new film might be a bit of a stretch. Of course, relying on memory is also a problem with a fine grained ratings system. "These sound effects deserve a 6 or 7, but they are a little better than that other film which I gave a 6.2 … or was it 6.5?"

Diabetes Trends:
People with type 2 diabetes need to watch their weight and maintain a healthy, balanced diet. But in moderation, and as part of a healthy meal plan, desserts or other sugary foods are not off limits.
Diabetes, which is a major cause of heart disease and stroke, is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Overall, the risk for death among people with diabetes is about twice that of people of similar age who don't have diabetes.
Diabetes is caused by problems related to the hormone insulin, which helps turn blood sugar (glucose) into energy. With type 2 diabetes, a problem called insulin resistance happens when the body's cells can't use insulin properly, and the pancreas makes an abundance to overcome the increase in blood glucose levels. When this happens, the pancreas can gradually lose its ability to make insulin; the increased amount of sugar in the blood can damage nerves and blood vessels. Chronically elevated blood sugars lead to such complications as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
People with type 2 diabetes don't always have symptoms. An estimated 27% of all people with diabetes (not just type 2 diabetes) don't know they have it.
Excessive thirst is a major symptom of high blood sugars. Other major symptoms include dry mouth, increased hunger (especially after eating), frequent urination, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, and headaches. These symptoms are all caused by high blood sugar. Other symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include slow-healing wounds, itching, numbness and tingling of the hands and feet, weight gain, frequent yeast infections, and impotency.
Type 2 diabetes was once called adult-onset diabetes, and the vast majority of people with type 2 diabetes are adults. But it can develop at any age, and health care providers are finding that children are being diagnosed with it more frequently.
Type 2 diabetes usually doesn't start suddenly. Some people are first diagnosed with prediabetes (also known as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose). Lifestyle changes, such as weight loss if you are overweight, dietary improvements, and exercise, can often ward off full-blown diabetes. Some people at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes can reduce their risk further by taking the prescription drug metformin -- but lifestyle change is a must.
In a recent study, people at high risk for type 2 diabetes were put on a weight loss and physical activity plan for three years, and researchers found that it reduced their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% and by 71% if they were age 60 or older.
People who often drink coffee may be less likely than other people to have type 2 diabetes, according to a review of studies published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
Experts say the benefit is not related to caffeine, but to other components of coffee -- possibly antioxidants or magnesium and chromium, which help the body use insulin. Still, no studies have proven that drinking coffee prevents type 2 diabetes.
High-sugar or high-salt diets are not, in themselves, risk factors for type 2 diabetes. But if either leads to obesity, it contributes to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors for diabetes include age, family history, inactivity, and ethnicity (people of African, Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Latino heritage have a higher risk). But having one or more of the risk factors doesn't mean you'll get type 2 diabetes.
Elevated blood sugars can cause eye damage and blindness, heart disease, nerve and blood vessel damage, kidney disease, and other major health problems. There is no evidence that diabetes causes prostate cancer or arthritis.
Depression and diabetes often go together. According to the CDC, depression is twice as common among people with diabetes as among other people. But it's not clear which comes first, the depression or the diabetes, or that one causes the other.
High blood pressure is a common complication of diabetes, and gum disease is also more common in people with diabetes.
RESULTS: Good job! You have a good understanding of type 2 diabetes.
RESULTS: Not bad, but you could do better. Do a little more reading about type 2 diabetes and try the quiz again.
RESULTS: Keep trying. Do a little more reading about type 2 diabetes and take the quiz again.

Azarenka's shrieks put to music
Kuznetsova advanced after a 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 win over Caroline Wozniacki, a former No. 1-player who will now slip out of the top 10.
The 27-year-old Kuznetsova said she noticed a difference in the temperment of Azarenka, who was prone in the past to hot-headed outbursts on court.
"She's changed and just become so stable," said Kuznetsova. "I think she just got calmer. She's consistent."
Going into the match feeling like the underdog gives Kuznetsova added confidence, she said.
"She's No. 1. I have nothing to lose. She has all the pressure," she said. "I've got the game to give her some problems, and I will just do my best and try to enjoy it."
Azarenka smiled when told her opponent had complimented her composure.
"I'm always going to be an emotional player," she said, adding that now she's learning how to pick the right reaction for each point.
"Sometimes you need to be more aggressive ... to pump yourself up," Azarenka said. "Sometimes you just need to relax and breathe."

The Objectified Woman 0
**Disclaimer : Crazy Little Thing Called Love is about to start this week. And i have been having tons of thoughts in my head. This will begin a series of my thoughts on relationships, not just with the opposite gender, but also on family matters. Some maybe just a rant, but others i hope there's an insight. **
This post is nothing new and it's been talked about many times, if not on my blog but on other blogs too. In my Monash days we studied quite a fair bit on the objectification of women, since it's a very apparent thing in media – be it film, print or whatever source of media.
I felt like blogging about it again because this has been floating in my head for some time. Furtheremore after the whole "Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen" movie, there were headlines all over the place on Megan Fox the worlds hottest women to re-merge as Mikaela in this movie. And then there was the controversy on Megan Fox being a man.
Now here's the thing i want to point out, even the most highly looked at woman now, Megan Fox even has her doubts about the way she looks. Even though she's already gorgeous as she is. My question is why in hells name why would a lovely girl like her even feel that way? (Ok i don't know exactly what she feels but basing it on her recent interview – she doesn't seem to "confident" bout her own body either)
Back on the topic of objectifying. Do not get me wrong, I'm all for a person looking good and presentable… However I'm actually really tired of hearing how men would like a pretty thing on their arm. I think it's a nonsensical egotistical immature ride that they enjoy when they go out with a pretty girl / hot chick / hoochie mama… whatever terms you've got for it these days. It's a terrible ego ride that they go on. Thinking that they can get any girl… honestly it makes me sick!
What are women? Pieces of meat? Or in this sense very very dolled up prettified with black pepper sprinkled on top good looking pieces of meat? Just so that a guy can say to other men indirectly "Hey check it out, I've got the girl you are all after!" I want to say men like these, are immature.
I want to highlight that this kind of thinking is detrimental. It's bad for both the male and females in this world. And oh so help me – reiterate a topic like this, which has been discussed down the ages. While sure it's hard to curb this kind of mentality, but for those who are with wives, girlfriends, or about to get into a relationship with someone.. While this is a note of advice to the males… this does not mean it doesn't go out to all you ladies too. Who love eyeballing cute little pieces of candy.
Think about it.. and see if this kind of thinking will do any good for the both of the partners. Even if you do look at other people.. occasionally or
a lot try making your partner worthwhile at the same time. I'm sure she or he will always enjoy to hear something nice come out of your mouth. Instead of some fluke joke on how they will enjoy someone who is better looking or hotter or whatever. Cherish the fact that you have a partner.

St. Joseph's at Fatima?
- 0Nov 28, '08 by 48mysticHi All -
I live on the MA/RI line and I'm looking into pretty much any affordable nursing school in the area. I put in an application for St. Joe's program but really don't know very much about it. I have tried calling a couple of times but never get a real person on the phone. Has anyone gone through their program? I am wondering how competitive it is to get in...? It seems that every school gets 10 times more applications than they have seats around here. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
- 1Nov 28, '08 by RhodyGirl, RNHi Mystic!
St Joe's is a good diploma program, but is competitive just like every other school around here (and across the country for that matter). SJ's does have a very good reputation, and their program is supposedly very clinical focused. I would try applying to any school you can. It's competitive everywhere and the more apps you have out, the better chance you have to get in somewhere. I believe that with out economy in the toilet, more people will be looking into nursing for it's more stable (compared to other careers) career qualities. If you have questions about other schools please ask.....and also, I believe there is a member named Suzy on the boards who graduated from St Joes. Maybe she'll pop in here!
- 1Nov 28, '08 by 48mysticThanks for the reply! I have an app out to BCC, UMD and now St. Joe's. CCRI has too many pre-reqs just to apply.
I think you're right about the economy driving people back to continue their educations though...I know that CCRI has seen a huge increase in enrollment.
- 1Dec 4, '08 by RhodyGirl, RNWhen do you find out if you've been accepted or not??
- 1Dec 4, '08 by 48mysticQuote from RhodyGirl-SNI'm not sure yet...I still have another application to get through...Massasoit. Yikes all this stuff is making me crazy lolWhen do you find out if you've been accepted or not??
- 1Dec 4, '08 by RhodyGirl, RNOhhh haha! I know it can definitely be crazy, but it's worth it to open that acceptance letter.
Make sure you post when you find out!!
- 1Dec 16, '08 by NSALVADOREHi there!
I go to St. Joes! I'm a freshman, just finished my first semester!!
It is an AWESOME program!! I love it so far!! I believe they are taking applications until April/May! I know it's a long time!!
If there is anything specific you'd like to know please feel free to ask :wink2:
- 1Jan 4, '09 by 48mysticThanks for replying NSalvador!
Wow that is a long application window. I just checked their site and they're taking them until March. Do you remember when you got your acceptance letter? I did well on the HESI (between 90 and 94) for reading, vocab, math and grammar and I have a BS in business. I'm hoping those things help me out....
Can you tell me what the schedule is like? I know it's a day program but that's about all the site lists as far as scheduling goes. Thanks again!
- 1Jan 7, '09 by NSALVADOREI think I got the acceptance letter in April, it was very soon after!
As for the schedule.. It changes a little bit but my first semester the schedule was M lecture 8:30-11:30, T lecture 12:30-3:30, W nursing lab, Th nursing lab/pick up assignment for clinical, F Clinical 8-3 ... Groups alternated Thurs/Fri Clinical ... The labs aren't always on those days, they change sometimes.
This semester Lecture Mon and Tues 8-11:30, Wed pick up assignment, Clinical Thurs and Fri. We still have labs but on the weeks we have labs we have off of clinicals.
It sounds confusing but you get your schedule at the start of the semester and it all comes together quickly!!
I hope that was helpful!! Don't hesitate if you have any more questions!
- 1Jan 7, '09 by 48mysticThanks for the reply! So I don't have to wait THAT long to find out lol...some schools wait until JUNE to let you know either way. The wait is a killer but I'm not getting my hopes up, it's just so competitive to get in.

Updated: June 19, 2013 6:17AM
Another offensive lineman has made an oral commitment to Notre Dame for the Class of 2014.
Alex Bars, from Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tenn., tweeted Friday that he would be attending Notre Dame.
"I have officially committed to The University of Notre Dame! #playlikeachampiontoday," Bars tweeted.
Bars is the fourth offensive lineman for Notre Dame's Class of 2014. The 6-6, 290-pound Bars is a four-star recruit, according to Rivals.com. He is ranked No. 6 at his position (offensive tackle) and No. 55 overall, according to Rivals.com.
His father, Joe, played linebacker at Notre Dame.
Bars is the 10th member of Notre Dame's Class of 2014. Rivals.com ranks seven of the 10 as at least four-star recruits.

American fare embodies national values of efficiency because hamburgers can be cooked in large quantities and french fries can be delivered via blow dart. Consume quick eats with this Groupon.
$8 for $16 Worth of American Comfort Fare
Menu ranges from chicken-fried steak ($11.49) to double-decker BLTs ($7.99) to kids' mini corn dogs ($4.99) and expands for weekend breakfast buffets ($9.99)
All Stars Family Grill
Aromas of grilled Black Angus burgers waft through All Stars Family Grill, where play spaces for toddlers to 12-year-olds are as much of an attraction as the hearty American fare. Entrees, sandwiches, and kid-size meals appear at the pickup counter with complimentary soft-serve ice cream, which incentivizes alfresco dining at picnic benches on the large, concrete patios. A pair of playgrounds, one designed for toddlers and the other for ages 5–12, entertains kids with slides and tunnels. Inside, wooden tables sprawl out under a checkerboard ceiling, which also decorates three private rooms ready with 50-inch plasma high-definition TVs and AV equipment. An arcade buzzes with 13 games including Madden and Target Terror, and flat-screen TVs sprinkled throughout the restaurant display sports, breaking news, and cartoons.
I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, which is geared towards families with children.paladrache, Urbanspoon, 9/21/11
I have been to this restaurant quite a few times because I enjoy it so much. The atmosphere is a great place for kids and families.Bailee R., TripAdvisor, 10/5/12
"The personnel are always friendly and helpful, the food is consistently good, and a family atmosphere prevails. "
"Great place - very friendly and clean"
"Turn the fans on outside, it's was much hotter on the patio this time (without the fans) then last time (with the fans)."

I love retro swimsuits! yours is wonderful! I do not like today's swimwear they leave little to the imagination and make me look terrible. I must make one like this.
Jul 26, 2013, 09.25 AMby BlancheOfArts
Thank you, I agree with you. :)
Jul 25, 2013, 10.32 PMby sandralamberti
I agree this is a totally brilliant costume , not all of us want to show off all our skin . I'm a size 10/12 and would prefer this to a modern skimpy bikini. Well done for designing such a great costume
Jul 26, 2013, 09.31 AMby BlancheOfArts
Thank you, I feel more confident in this kind of bathing suit because it hides everything you don't won't to show and emphasizes all the good bits+boobs look bigger. :D

Chris Zylka Teases Return of Nick, "Epic" Secret Circle Finaleby TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Nick is back on The Secret Circle. Viewers learned this shocking fact at the conclusion of last week's "Traitor."
But what will that actually mean for the coven, specifically brother Jake?
"Jake's going to go on an emotional roller coaster in this next episode," Chris Zylka tells TV Guide of this evening's "Prom." "Typical Jake, he tries to cover up his real emotions. I mean, what would you do if your dead brother came back?"
Good question. We'll need to get back to you on it.
Zylka adds that Nick is now "a lot more powerful" than before his death at the hands of Charles. How come? That's a "surprise," the actor teases.
Fair enough. What about The Secret Circle season finale?
"There's tons of death," Zylka says of the May 10 installment, titled "Family. "It's a pretty epic episode... with how strong the cliffhangers are, I think people are going to be more in awe of what happens next, then in awe of who just died."
How... intriguing. Read the full interview with Zylka now at TV Guide.
This season looks more passionate than all of them all and i blive that its gonna make everyone look like a judge to whats good and whats bad in choices people make in life and above all its got magic!
I really hope Secret Circle gets renew, man! just when it's starting to get good...oh and Ringer as well please
Personally I do not think that Ringer dissapointed us at all. I would like to see Ringer back as well as Secret Circle.
I think that John will die and maybe Jake.
agree with @anon! This is going to be huge! There seems to be some huge twists, I just hope they don't dissappoint as Ringer did in the final!
I think this is the only newCW show which will stay for next season! :D
Can't wait! Can't wait! Very excited about these final two episodes and hoping the CW gives a 2nd season renewal.

Hunter S. Thompson and the Case of the Pirate's Booty
...is what I would have named Borderlands 2's first piece of campaign DLC, but maybe that's just me. That Shade character looks way too familiar.
Either way, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty is shaping up to be one of Gearbox's finest expansions yet. I sat down with Game Designer Jon Hemingway to walk through the first couple of missions together (as the Mechromancer!) and I learned a few things in the process. Go learn yoself, too!

Robert Ripley made his name showcasing some of nature's strangest phenomena, from optical illusions and two-headed animals to his trees capable of growing toilet paper during homecoming games. Study mysterious streamers with this Groupon.
Two Options Available
- $10 for one adult admission to the Odditorium and the wax museum (a $21.99 value)
- $6 for one child admission (ages 4–12) to the Odditorium and the wax museum (a $12.99 value)
The exhibits remain open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Admission grants visitors access to the Odditorium as well as to Louis Tussaud's Palace of Wax.
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Double takes begin before visitors even step foot inside the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium. Chrome-plated dinosaur statues tower over the parking lot, standing in stark contrast to the slender minarets and gold-tipped dome of the actual museum, which takes architecture cues from the Taj Mahal. These prehistoric watchdogs are only the first glimpse into the bizarre, as the Odditorium's 11 galleries brim with jaw-dropping exhibits, interactive displays, and brow-furrowing illusions.
Inspired by the eclectic collection of cartoonist, world traveler, and renowned eccentric Robert Ripley, the museum's galleries are an ode to the unusual. Artifacts hail from across the globe and include everything from a mechanized rocking chair to an invisible penny.
The Palace of Wax was really cool. I liked the wax presidents the best.Jeff Mason, 3/26/12

Natalie Portman Goes Blonde, Kate Spade x Paperless Post and More From Around the Web
If you're obsessed with Choupette, you'll probably love Mercy, too. She's Kim Kardashian's new kitten and, any positive or negative feelings you have about her owner aside, there's no denying the cat is insanely cute. And—just throwing some ideas out there—it would be AWESOME if she and Karl's pet posed together for a picture. [E!]

So...maybe Jill Stuart is collaborating with the rapper behind that viral "Gangnam Style" video on a clothing collection exclusive to Asia? The details on this story are still murky, but we're very, very intrigued. [Fashionista]

Interracial R&B group the Crests charted many doo-wop hits, including "16 Candles," during its heyday in the '50s and '60s. After a late-'70s breakup, the rotating cast of members found a new following thanks to the John Hughes film named after their hit, as well as a cover of the song by the Stray Cats. The Crests' name and trademark were sold to Florida's own Tommy Mara in the '90s. While purists might take issue with that, Mara had previously performed with Crests founder J.T. Carter, and this show pays tribute to the recently departed Johnny Maestro, who was a Crest before his Brooklyn Bridge days.
Mara has kept the Crests' banner flying in his own way and has thrived in this circuit of oldies acts, bringing a little piece of a bygone era to fans of all ages for many years. Also onstage will be the delightful braggadocio of "Peppermint Twist"-famous Joey Dee and the Starliters as well as the full Legends of DooWop Tour featuring Joe Losicero of the Mystics, Jack Vitale of Randy and the Rainbows, Tony Passalaqua of the Fascinators, Frank Mancuso of the Imaginations, and Steve Horn of the Five Sharks.

Ian Y. CurrieOctober 11,2012
Ian Y. CurrieIan Y. Currie
CHESTER Ian Young Currie, age 19, died unexpectedly at home on the morning of October 9, 2012, one day before his 20th birthday.
Ian was a kind, loving, joyful soul who sometimes did not seem of this earth. At times, his guitar playing was certainly other-worldly. We hope he finds the peace that often eluded him in this life and the ability to bring music to wherever he is.
He was born to Stuart Alexander and Wendy Oldenburg Currie on October 10, 1992, in Springfield, Vt. He is survived by his parents, his sister, Bevin Lore, and many, many relatives on both sides who will miss him greatly, along with his numerous friends.
A memorial service will be held at The Congregational Church on Main Street in Springfield, Vt., on Sunday, October 14, at 3:00 p.m.
Davis Memorial Chapel in Springfield is assisting the family with arrangements.MORE IN Obituaries1219 RH Obits Haseltine paid no photo no flag Full Story1219 RH Obits Cole paid photo flag Full Story1219 RH Obits Black paid photo no flag Full Story

Boxing your way to good health
The thing to do in the month of January is join a gym. The thing to do in the month of February is stop going to the gym, but at Title Boxing Club it seems members can't get enough.
PHOTOS: Shack boxes his way to good health
It is not your ordinary workout. Each class starts with a 15 minute warm-up, 30 minutes of punching heavy bag, and 15 minutes of abdominal work.
The workout is brutal in a good way. After just a few minutes of punching the bag, your hands get heavy and your arms feel like noodles.
Burning 1,000 calories in a workout isn't uncommon, but what can't be measured is the amount of stress you relieve. Hitting a bag over and over allows a person to take out some serious aggression.
Title Boxing Club is located at 81st and Harvard.

Sheffield United's new signing Ben Davies has targeted promotion as League One champions next season.
The 33-year-old defender has signed a one-year deal with the club after spending the final two-and-a-half months of last season on loan from Derby, where he played under current Blades boss Nigel Clough.
"There was an option or two to stay in the Championship, but this is a sideways step because this is a club on the up and you know what you get when you work with the gaffer," he told the club's official website.
"I have played over 100 games for him and he was a massive reason I joined on loan in February.
"Now I want to come back and be a part of a promotion-winning side next season, the target is to win League One."

Her Imagines a World Where We Love Our Computers — Literally
- Thursday December 19, 2013
Director Spike Jonze's Her gives all new meaning to the phrase — and possibilities of — "computer love."
Director Spike Jonze's Her gives all new meaning to the phrase — and possibilities of — "computer love."
In a roundabout way, Apple almost recruited Jony Ive right out of college. Ive, then a star design student at Newcastle Polytechnic in the north of England, had won some money at university in — what else — a design competition. The cash allowed him to realize a long-held dream of visiting San Francisco and […]
Not everyone is down for the hyper-color new look of Apple's iOS 7, so naturally there's a Tumblr dedicated to poking fun at all the other ways the operating system's designer could redesign things. Even poop.
There are a handful of big events that Apple hosts each year that can be a catalyst for share price. This week's Worldwide Developer Conference is one. And while the developers to whom it is targeted may have fallen in love with Apple design chief Jony Ive's transparent, playful, edge-to-edge design, Wall Street didn't.
Our most iconic products don't spring fully formed from their designers' minds. Even Jony Ive had to attack the iPhone more than once. (A lot more than once.) But the earliest drawings of some now-classic designs help show the process their creators went through to make something recognizable and definitive.
Hello, Wired readers. Just a line to let you know that it's a greener and more pleasant land for me today — I've been knighted! Princess Anne performed the honors at Buckingham Palace Wednesday. Amid a small crowd of dignitaries, she recognized me for my work for producing design classics like the iPod, iPad, and of course, the Bondi Blue iMac
This is a series in which I, an intrepid design reporter whose nom de plume is Fake Jony Ive, take on the world of poorly designed things one painful example at a time. This wholly unauthorized feature in no way represents the opinions of its inspiration, Jony Ive, knight of the realm and Apple's real bad boy of industrial design. This week's episode: Me vs. the Health Care Industry.
Wired Design's Fake Jony Ive interviews the XFINITY Custom DVR 3-Device Universal Remote to find out why it's so badly designed.
