Vancouver-trained chef Makoto Ono opens PiDGiN restaurant
Canadian chef Makoto Ono's highly anticipated PiDGiN (350 Carrall Street) opened this week in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The restaurant, which was originally planned for a 2012 opening, brings together Japanese, Korean, and French flavours, with a focus on seafood and shared plates.
Ono received his culinary training at the Art Institute of Vancouver's Dubrelle Culinary School. He won the Canadian Culinary Championships in 2007, and helmed the kitchen at Winnipeg's Gluttons Bistro, Beijing's Makoto, and Hong Kong's Liberty Private Works, before returning home to Winnipeg to guest chef at his father's Edohei Japanese restaurant before it closed in February 2012.
Rounding out the team at PiDGiN is pastry chef Amanda Cheng, who was born and raised in Vancouver and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, and bar manager Robyn Gray, who previously worked at Revel Room, Calabash Bistro, and the Rosewood Hotel Georgia.
PiDGiN is the first Vancouver restaurant to offer sake on tap from Granville Island's Artisan Sake Maker. Menu items are priced between $6 and $26.
If people get pushed into the margins because of this place people will die, some will even be murdered and their blood will be on your hands.
Shame on you.
Accept the project on its merits. Perhaps some good will come of it. Get off your sanctimonious asses and work for your own goals, and allow these folks to work on there's.
Please have a heart. My people have suffered enough. Tear down this abomination and build some decent housing for people in need. Enough is enough.
Why? Because of First Nations? Because of victims of your country's genocides?
Are you not aware of the worst serial killing in Canadian history? One of the women was taken a few steps from this spot. Those women were from this neighborhood
Do you understand the history or do you choose to believe the poor and homeless chose their fate?
Smarten up. What happened was genocide. Pidgin better not be part of more of the same.
Smarten up and show some respect.
Single occupancy hotel rooms is a positively-notated term for cheap dirty housing for druggies and near-homeless people and other losers surrounded by barrages of homeless people who cannot even afford that.
It's like uncovering the ash-ridden lungs of a cancer patient – he may look perfectly fine on the skin and what not, but when you get to the depths of this, the hideous and low-class segments of the city are barren and wasted – adding a black spot to the elegance and the beauty of the city.
These buildings are being removed, because real estate development corporations want to rip them out, re-develop the sectors of the city and revive it into more beautiful neighbourhood that meets the standards of the rest of the city.
Essentially: We have to take away the last resort of living from the druggies and near-homeless people, re-zone it, and give more affordable living space to the rest of the citizens, and expand the horizons of the city – the good clean city, that is. And the real estate developers, who have rightfully earned the money through ambition and drive, why should they have to miss out on opportunities to increase their net worth from $2 billion to $4 billion? They deserve it fully. I don't see why the rest of the good citizens, who are hard-working and goal-oriented, should run out of space downtown because there are these hideous, drug-ridden motels so close to our beautiful downtown. I don't see why these people who clearly don't deserve this, should be protected any more. They already get food stamps – that's more than enough actually. The city, pressured by hippie activists, currently have a re-zoning penalty that is charged to developers.
Essentially: We take away the last resort of living from the druggies and near-homeless people, re-zone it, and give more affordable living space to the rest of the citizens, and expand the horizons of the city – the good clean city, that is. And I'm in full agreement with that.
Who cares what happens to them? Who cares about missing women? Who really cares about some dead hookers? What kind of life is that anyway? You can't save someone that far gone. They're like zombies.
When we want to open a new treatment center or homeless shelter you hear the privileged class scream NOT IN MY BACKYARD. Well as someone who works a hop skip and a jump away from "Pidgin" in a treatment center for women at risk I say NOT IN OUR BACKYARD!
But seriously folks, all kidding aside, it's gotta suck when someone 100 times richer than you moves next door and hires security to tell you to "move along" in your own hood.
The disparity is disturbing. This is the poorest urban neighborhood in Canada and the new businesses are catering only to wealthy people: $3 a donut, $6 a pickle, $50 a haircut? New business is fine and even some expensive ones but when every single new business is only for the affluent then it should come as no surprise people would protest it.
Pidgin, Wildebeast and Cartems are ostentatious and to many people, offensive. This trend if unchecked will lead to mass evictions, displacement and homelessness. There is genuine demand for services for lower income & blue collar people who still predominate. At least some of these new businesses should seek to include them in the business plan instead of plan on their being pushed out.
The owner(s) had an interview on CBC radio Monday, and IMHO he had pretty trite, meager and oblivious responses.
While I can understand his attempt and connotation at 'merging' languages or locales (Pigeon/PiDGiN)...give me a break. HE tried to say that his clientele from Shaugnessy would appreciate the comofort in this part of town, since their prior avoidance of such?
Seems like a ruthless, unscrupulous and grudged effort; I feel sorry for the Chef. Let's see how the staff turnover goes based on mgmt style and performance. While there is "no such thing as bad press", there is also no such thing with pressing onto otherwise bad issues, rather than garnishing them for 'the foolish and the wise'.
75% of restaurants die in their 1st year.....like a junkie?
Affluence is relative. I happen to like riding a bike, but if I were able to afford a Tesla I might prefer that. Who wouldn't? Meanwhile, our poorest people in Vancouver have access to health services, police protection and other constitutionally guaranteed rights that make their lives fundamentally safer than people from truly poor, undemocratic countries.
Now, what has this to do with ostentatious food? Just this: if the locals were not eating $3 pickles before the new restaurants came in, how can they be upset by not eating $3 pickles now?
@This is native land
You remind me of a guy who tried to pick a fight with me outside Campagnolo. He was also irritated that native land was being occupied by middle class foodies.
Emotionally, I get it. While I cannot claim to know what it is like to not know where my next meal is coming from, I have lived and worked with low income people and I respect and regret the genuine pain and fear that comes with gentrification.
The problem, unfortunately, is that industry pays for everything. The government has no money of its own. You cannot get a single public service without a tax base. You cannot blame an entrepeneur for opening a restaurant. Pidgeon Park equals cheap rent, which is the obvious incentive to open there. The motive was probably not to create a genocide.
In fact, why would you think the intent is to push anyone into alleys. Who would live in an alley when they could choose to go to, say, rehab and vocational training?
In practice people often have their rights violated. Canada has shown systemic bias against poor people and against First Nations and the RCMP has been recently criticized by the UN for this.
As the Missing Women Report shows, systemic bias against addicts and marginalized groups was a contributing factor in their life situation and the failure of society to protect this group of women. The rights of poor and marginalized people are violated more often than middle class people and the obvious reason why is the weakest members of society don't often have the means or know-how to fight for their rights.
It was $3 donuts and $6 pickles.
In the poorest neighbourhood of Canada they are selling a box of a dozen donuts for almost $40.
Yes, for sure there is always work to be done. Canada is only #4 on the Global Peace Index. It's not a perfect country by any means. On the other hand, it is #4 on the Global Peace Index.
I also agree that poor people may need help in asserting their rights, which is why I support Pivot and other groups to do stuff that frankly is way beyond me in terms of time and energy.
Where I disagree is in casting opposition to these yuppie eateries in terms of rights. I certainly understand the optics. When rich people have 99% of the city open to them, and the very poor and/or dysfunctionally addicted people have just the DTES, I am sure it is extremely galling to lose the DTES.
But what right is being violated? Rights include the right to education, to housing, to liberty and life. I can see where there is an argument that welfare is way too low. But I cannot see an argument that there is a right to keep the DTES the way it is. It is downtown, waterview property, and therefore 100% guaranteed to be the playground of the wealthy sooner or later.
I don't know if I like it or if I don't like it, but I am pretty sure that that is what happens with downtown waterview property in a rich country.
The question is not whether that is going to happen, but how we are going to deal with the resultant displacement in the best way.
Frankly I am of the view that if you are living in alleys because you won't go to rehab then you should be an involuntary ward of the BC Mental Health Act, but that's maybe a tad drastic. But this is where the real discussion lies, not does this Makoto character have the right sell trendy food in the DTES.
the protestors of this restaurant should be ashamed. why don't they go protest in front of neighborhood drug dealer instead? the experiment of allowing a drug infested cesspool of poverty and addiction to continue has done incalculable damage to residents in the area.
good for this restaurant. the DTES needs hope, not dope.

Maxi Pointelle Dress
Style # 211464
With sheer pointelle knit, nude lining and heavy drape, this bebe maxi dress is a gorgeous way to update your summer wardrobe. Try yours with a pair of wedge sandals and gold add-ons to dress it up.
- 100% rayon
- Center back to hem: 57" (145 cm)
- Rayon lining
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" is wearing a US size S
Maxi Pointelle Dress
Elegant summer dress
My husband loves this somewhat clingy dress. I bought the Caribbean Aqua color and just love the subtle sheen of the fabric. (It is a little easy to snag, though.) It makes me feel attractive while not showing off too much skin - always the way a lady feels most beautiful!
June 25, 2013
Great dress
The dress is more beautiful than the picture, the color is a bit darker but it's better, in my opinion. It's a bit long to me since I am 5'3, but it works well with high heels. Material is very silky and comfortable, has the expensive look, worth the money! If you have a lot of curves, I think this might work even better.
June 15, 2013
The pictures don't do this dress justice. This dress is gorgeous and I bought it in the carribean sea color size small even though I'm usually a size medium, but i chose size small coz it accentuates my curves further. The medium fits equally the same but is a bit big around the shoulders. Those are the two differences i saw. Size small is equally comfortable coz the lining and the crochet stretch and adjust to your body. so you can do a size small or medium depending on how much of your form you want to show. . I'm 5'5, 150 lbs DDD/E chest curvy bottom. My weight fluctuates between 140 and 155. The material looks and feels wonderful, very light and airy. Lining is soft and comfortable. This is the best maxi dress in my closet. It covers all bases, ill give it a 12 out of ten!
May 27, 2013
I ordered this dress in a Medium in the Caribbean Sea color and it is perfect! I'm 5'5" and about 145 lbs and it fits just right! Length comes just to floor but for me that is perfect..I can still wear it with flats or a heel. Also the lining underneath is more of a slip because it has straps which are adjustable. Love that feature! Color is more of dark teal in my opinion compared to what it looks like online but I still love it! The only downside I can see is that it may snag but I figure that's only expected with the pointelle type material. Can't wait to wear it out!

2013 and earlier BMW 3-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience
qbrozen Posts: 17,842I'm assuming the S stands for Sedan?
Well... let me put it this way... if you turned around and were trading that vehicle in, you MIGHT get $19k for it on a good day. If I'm buying that non-CPO, I'm personally not paying more than $23k for it. So is the CPO worth $3500 to you? That's all that really matters.'14 CTS Vsport; '15 Fit LX 6-spd; '98 Volvo S70 base; '14 Town&Country Limited
rockysen Posts: 3Yeah, it is a 328i xDrive Sedan. With all those packages and options, you still think you would only give it $23 non-CPO? For CPO, I am willing to pay an extra $2000 I guess. So I should stick to $25,000 at most then? I was appraising it on Kelly's BlueBook and it came out $30K CPO so I was comparing the dealer offer to that.
qbrozen Posts: 17,842Yeah, $23k is really top of the mark for me. The highest ones at dealer auction are hitting $21k. I personally look to pay $2k-$2500 over auction value. And, given its not white or silver, it does get a slight penalty, to be honest (not by me, as I'd prefer the blue, too, but the value is the value). Good luck with your decision.
BTW, KBB is notoriously garbage.'14 CTS Vsport; '15 Fit LX 6-spd; '98 Volvo S70 base; '14 Town&Country Limited
plankton Posts: 3Hi All!
I'm very excited that I found this wonderful forum.
I am trying to purchase my wife's car, bmw 3 series and would like to get your advice!
Here is the price I got from the dealership.
2013 320i alpine white
premium package, heated front seat, and a wood trim
2014 320i sapphire black
premium package and heated front seat
I don't think I got the decent deal since I found a truecar.com showed me a lower (~$1,000) price!
Do you think a truecar.com price is good to go with it? I am pretty new to BMW and have no experience with dealerships, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!
p.s. Since my budget is pretty tight, I tried only 320i, the cheapest one in 3 series. My friend told me that 2013 328i would be a better than 2014 320i. What do you think about it? -
maxjohn Posts: 5Don't bother with the 2014 320i, not worth the money dealers will be asking right now. Definitely go for a 2013 320i or 328i it should be a great deal especially depending on the dealers inventory. Ive seen some very basic 2013 320i xdrive with an MSRP of 36525 going for 30995 and thats before any further negotiations with a dealer. You can probably get less if you don't need the xdrive and are looking at rwd models. I've also seen a 2013 328i xdrive with an msrp of 44645 going for 33995, again before negotiations. Both of those cars are in Kansas so not sure if they do shipping or if your interested in getting a car out of state. But definitely look at the 2013's while dealers have some left.
plankton Posts: 3Wow, I can't believe the price!
Here is CA (near SF) and I may not be able to get a good price like KS, it seems like I should try to find many different dealerships to get a big saving.
I presume that I can get more ideas about the price as I am re-searching more, do you have a kind of index that can determine whether it is a good or bad deal, such as getting an offer about 3K below of truecar.com?
Many thanks Maxjohn, for the great info! -
konacoug Kailua-KonaPosts: 195Since you are in SF bay area, I would contact Jon at Santa Barbara BMW, he is a founder of another BMW forum and he could hook you up with a great deal. I would also consider contacting Greg at Pacific BMW or Justin at New Century BMW, they are all forum sponsors of the other BMW forum. You can do all this via email.
There are great deals to be had right now on 2013 328i's out there. From what I've read online, the SF bay area is much harder to get a good deal. -
wakeriderof87 Posts: 3Hey guys,
I'm looking for a great deal for a 2013 new 328i in either the sport or M sport line. I'm looking for a car with little to no options, in the 40-42K msrp range. I'm located in Fl but don't mind purchasing from anywhere in the SE and flying up to get the car, does anyone have an recommendations for areas or dealers to focus? I'm looking for a deep discount! -

mitchs3 Posts: 64What is the target price for a leftover 2013 335i convertible? I know there is $1500 build out allowance and I qualify for $500 loyalty. Should I shoot for under invoice say by $500 so dealer gets $1500 profit? As I am leasing I will only do deal if $725 Acquisition fee and buy MF of 0.00125. A dealer offered me 1,000 over invoice, with 925 acquisition fee and the MF marked up. Obviously, a poor deal. Other option is to wait for the 2 series convertible, but will be a soft top. Thoughts??
konacoug Kailua-KonaPosts: 195I wouldn't pay over invoice for a 2013 model, even before incentives. The problem you are facing, not so many 2013's left. However, the dealer probably has been sitting on this car for a long time. I would stick to your guns...offer back invoice, minus your incentives, base mf. There are incentives available to the dealer right now, not seen by the public according to what I have read....
wittgen Posts: 2Hi guys,
I know nothing about car buying and I would love to get some help from experienced buyers.
I was offered 2013 BMW 320xi with gray color, moon roof, power front seats, heated seats, walnut wood trim, and navigation system for $36500 (MSRP $41220, Invoice ~$38500).
Is this a good deal? Or should I try to get more deal out of it?
Thank you guys!! -
mitchs3 Posts: 64The dealer says he has one of the few 2013 335i convert. with a manual trans left in the country. So this car is "rare, and in demand". I emphasized that this is a 2013 leftover. I will wait for a month and if still out there, re-approach him, if not, await the 2 and 4 series convert. (though I hear the latter will only have an auto trans with no manual offered in US). I am hoping that BMW gives us a 6 speed manual option in the 435 convertible, at least offered with the M sport package.
konacoug Kailua-KonaPosts: 195I think the deal is pretty good for a 2013 model. Is this a purchase or a lease? Basically, they sold it to you at invoice, minus the $2000 incentive, pretty reasonable. Sometimes, there is always more room, from what I hear there are some direct to dealer incentives out there, that the public doesn't know about.
If you are leasing, there is a lot of info out there.

I have recently been reading the Horus Heresy novel 'Thousand Sons,' and have played through several different 'Dawn of War' games - a gaming friend told me this week that it is strongly hinted that the Blood Ravens gene seed is descended from the Thousand Sons legion. The chapter has no records of its founding roots, and this seems to have been shrouded in secrecy.
I wondered what anyone out there knew about this, and whether or not there were any other chapters that might have suspect gene seed, either taken from stored gene seed taken during the Great Crusade from legions that then subsequently turned traitor, or from some other defective batch. There have certainly been many examples of great swathes of certain chapters turning to Chaos. In another sense, this kind of 'experimentation' on the part of (presumably) the High Lords of Terra, must have a reason - it could form an interesting plot device within Deathwatch games perhaps?

They should have just re-named the This Year in Baseball Awards the Giants Rule the Universe Awards, for 2010. Seriously, we stole the show. I agreed with most the selections, although I think Madison and Cain are overlooked way too much. In my mind, one of them should have been Postseason MVP (or, you know, that guy named Cody Ross who hits homeruns obsessively?) instead of Timmy. Not to say Lincecum didn't do well- even very, very well- but in my mind he wouldn't be the postseason MVP.
Cain and MadBum seem happy enough, though.
And then I sort of think looking at the 2010 payrolls (from US Weekly's website) tells its own story: one of the teams in the World Series had the ninth highest payroll, one had the 27th. Sabean was brilliant about handling his team, no doubt, but I think Daniels should have been Executive of the Year.
The dorky player photo thing obviously transcends the field. It applies to the front office too.
What really annoyed me about the Gibby's, though, was how the hosts of the presentation show, Harold Reynolds and Greg Amsinger, announced a winner and then explained who they thought should have won and showed a highlight reel for that person. Then they talked briefly about the actual winner. Can you imagine if Barbra Streisand had announced Kathryn Bigelow as Best Director and then explained why James Cameron should have won and shown clips of Avatar? Not cool, MLB. Not cool at all.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Utterly off-topic, but The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the best Narnia movie yet. King Caspian lost the Spanish-ish accent (and upgraded from his title of Prince) and it's absolutely beautiful and very funny. It's slightly overdone at points, but if you need some offseason distraction, Diamond Girl says check it out.
And the Teenage Girl with Ichiro Being the "Ultimate Teenage Girl" should have won Fan Moment of the Year. Ichiro ran into her trying to catch a ball and she is decked out in tons of Mariners gear. Bo the Bailer has a lame nickname and no girlfriend. Obvious winner much?

World Diabetes Day 2014
World Diabetes Day raises global awareness of diabetes - its escalating rates around the world and how to prevent the illness in most cases. The theme for 2014 is "Healthy Living and Diabetes".
Started by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and WHO, the Day is celebrated on 14 November to mark the birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, was instrumental in the discovery of insulin in 1922, a life-saving treatment for diabetes patients.
UN high-level meeting on NCD prevention and control
19-20 September 2011 -- The decision by the United Nations General Assembly to convene a High-level Meeting on NCDs on 19-20 September 2011 presents a unique opportunity for the international community to take action against the epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung diseases and diabetes), save millions of lives and enhance development initiatives.
WHO Call for Interest for Development of HbA1c tests suitable for Low and Middle Income Countries
WHO is interested in increasing access to HbA1c tests for diabetes treatment monitoring in developing countries. Through an expert consultation, WHO has facilitated the development of a Preferred Product Profile (PPP) for an HbA1c test suitable for low and middle income countries. This PPP is freely available on this site and will also be sent to relevant diagnostics associations and NGOs. In order to further facilitate access to such tests, WHO is particularly interested in tests that could be locally produced in developing countries.
Health experts accept use of HbA1c for diagnosing diabetes
A new test for diagnosing diabetes mellitus has been accepted by a WHO-backed group of experts, offering a more practical approach to test for the disease that affects close to 350 million people worldwide.

Tung Lasher!!!
I 'kinda' liked Squeeeze back in the day... but I REALLY want the 'core' of the factions done before the 'added on's'..
Soooo C'mon Tung Lasher... C'mon Mantenna!!!
Tung Lashor
Of the two remaining Snake Men (as per the vintage figures), who would you like to see next in the Classics line make the grade? Personally, i vote Tung Lashor ~ but only by the smallest margin.
So then... Who do you want next?
Tung Lashor?
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Tung Lasher!!!
I 'kinda' liked Squeeeze back in the day... but I REALLY want the 'core' of the factions done before the 'added on's'..
Soooo C'mon Tung Lasher... C'mon Mantenna!!!
I gotta go with the only Snake Man I had as a kid and thats Tung Lashor! I want him next and of course in vintage style. I disliked the Filmation version and always saw that one as a separate character. MOTUC version should have him with 2 heads, one normal and one with his tongue lashing effect.
Tung Lashor
Filmation and toyline versions, or toyline version with optional Horde armor
I don't mind if we get Sssqueeze eventually, but I'm not bothered if we don't.
He who dies with the most MOTUC wins!
My vote goes to a 4H created female snake warrior.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Tung Lashor. (but I hope there's no wheel on his back ).
Go away, Squeeze! Nobody likes you!!
Just kidding. I hope we get both of these fellers.

"It is not by reasoning or by our understanding that we have received our religion; it is by external authority and command."-Michel De Montaigne
Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
I voted for Squeeeze, he is by far my favorite vintage toy, yet he gets absolutely NO love anywhere.
I think Snake Face and Squeeze were the only Snakemen I didn't have in the vintage line as a kid. As I said earlier, I really want to see all of them get made but I am curious how Mattel will handle Ssqueeze's arms. Let's hope not bendy! Maybe just longer, regularly articulated arms.

Tung Lashor and Rattlor are like a combo cause the are Hssss's two main men! I can wait for Sssqueeze!
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
TL, definitely! Toss him a Horde armband like Rattlor.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

snake face is so blah for me. OH the MOTUC one is pretty amazing (though I stilll hate that helmet) but Toung Lashor was my most wanted snakeman after Hisss, so he's still on top there.
I want my purple froggy, uh, lizard, umm... thing next.
Classics TGR figures should be Filmation-based, but they NEED MORE COWBELL!
Definitely Tung Lashor. My 200x Squeeeze staction figure is standing in until the classics figure comes out.
Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.--Optimus Prime ROTF
Tung Lashor
I've always loved this character (until 200X). He's a poison-purple-muscled-treefrog-man for crissake.

text: By Bryan Autullo - FAST Public Relations(Maumee, OH) With only two races in the books so far this season due to Mother Nature keeping temperatures down near freezing, the Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series will unleash the fury on Friday April 23rd at Attica Raceway Park for the first points event of the 2010 season. The intensity continues on Saturday April 24th for what will now be the Fremont Speedway season opener. Tim Shaffer won the first Northern Ohio event this season at Attica while last year's FAST Series runner up, Byron Reed, dominated the invading All Star Circuit of Champions during the Coors Light Attica Spring Nationals. Reed has come out of the gates strong in 2010 with his eyes on the Kistler Cup Trophy. Reed battled with Craig Mintz throughout the second half of the 2009 season for the inaugural FAST Series title, but came up just 51 points shy as he capped off the season with a win at Fremont Speedway.The 2010 season looks as if it will be as strong and as exciting as 2009 proved to be. With Reed, Mintz, Mike Linder, Brock Mayes, Chris Andrews, Scott Euler, Todd Heller, Brandon Martin, David Harrison, Brian Smith, Phil Gressman, Lee Jacobs, Jody Keegan, and Mark Keegan duking it out for the title there is no shortage of talent in FAST competition. Throw in the young guns looking to make their mark such as Bryan Sebetto, Travis Philo, Duane Zablocki, Kevin Lee, Shawn Valenti, and Cody White it is possible that a new star will shine as the season wears on. Other drivers who may be attending the majority of FAST Championship events include Randy Hannagan, Rob Chaney, John Ivy, Bruce Robenalt, Bryan Lay, Cole Duncan, Aaron Middaugh, and Caleb Helms. Fans will get their money's worth on Friday and Saturday nights as the battle for the Kistler Cup rages on throughout the summer."I think we have one of the most talented groups of drivers in the country," said series co-founder Chris Kettman. "As a fan, I enjoy coming to Attica and Fremont to see these guys as much as I enjoy going to Eldora for an Outlaws show or Williams Grove to see the PA Posse. The racing is always exceptional and the extra intensity of the FAST points chase just adds to the mix." The 2009 season saw Craig Mintz pocket the winner's share of more than $60,000 in cash and prizes with cash and contingency awards going to the Top 10 drivers. Drivers who finished 11th through 20th also received contingency awards and were eligible for random drawings for other door prizes at the banquet. "We are putting up the same money again this year with $10,000 to win," said series co-founder Scott Porter. "The money we pay out in addition to what both track point funds pay adds up to one of the richest payouts in the country for a weekly 410 sprint car racing program." The FAST Series also handed out several weekly certificates in 2009 to the Top 5 finishers, the B-main winner, the Hard Charger, the Tough Luck award and more. In 2010, even more sponsors have provided certificates to hand out on a weekly basis and those will be announced at a later date. "The amount of response we got during the off-season has been incredible," Said Kettman. "I think in 2009 we showed what we are all about. In 2010 we don't have to prove ourselves. We just have to continue to build on what we started last year. Lots of companies saw the value of what we are doing and wanted to get involved. We want to thank all of them for participating."Visit www.fastondirt.com to find out more about the F.A.S.T.

What Can Cisco Unified Communications Do for Your Organization?
• Specific solutions and technologies that Cisco Unified Communications offers
• The many benefits Cisco Unified Communications provides, and expectations in terms of return on investment (ROI)
• How to migrate to a Cisco Unified Communications system
• How migrating to Cisco Unified Communications can make voice decision makers and telecom managers even more strategic to the organization
• VoIP refers to a way to carry phone calls over an IP data network, whether the public Internet or an organization's own internal network. One of the primary attractions of VoIP is its ability to help companies reduce expenses because telephone calls travel over the data network rather than the phone company's network.
• IP telephony encompasses the full suite of telephony services enabled by VoIP, including the interconnection of phones for actual communications; related services such as billing and dialing plans; and basic features such as conferencing, transfer, forward, hold, and many more. These services might previously have been provided by a private branch exchange (PBX).
• IP communications evolves the concept to include business applications that enhance communications to enable applications such as unified messaging, integrated contact centers, and rich-media conferencing that combines voice, data, and video.
• Unified communications takes IP communications a step further with technologies such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and presence and mobility solutions. These technologies unify and simply all forms of communication-independent of location, time, or device. Unified communications users can be reached at any time based on their preferences and can communicate through any media using any device they prefer. The multiple phones and devices, along with the multiple networks (fixed, Internet, cable, satellite, or mobile) are brought together by unified communications. With unified communications, users can be geographically independent and communications can be transparently integrated with business processes, streamlining business and improving productivity and profitability.
• Boost productivity-A unified communications solution can significantly enhance an organization's communications by reducing productivity-draining bottlenecks. According to a 2005 Sage Research report, workers with access to a unified communications system save an average of 55 minutes per day in productivity.
• Align communications solutions to business processes-The Cisco Unified Communications portfolio provides structure and intelligence to business communications, helping organizations streamline and integrate their communications more closely with business processes-ultimately connecting users to users instead of devices to devices.
• Reach the right resource the first time, using the right medium-Using the reach and intelligence of the network to deliver presence and preference information, Cisco Unified Communications helps ensure that information and interactions reach recipients quickly using the most effective medium. Designed for ease of use, it lets users quickly access the people, tools, and content they need wherever they are, based on their own rules and preferences.
• Advanced, real-time collaboration-With Cisco Unified Communications, businesses can collaborate in real time using advanced applications such as videoconferencing, integrated voice- and Webconferencing, mobile IP soft phones, voicemail, and more-from an integrated, easy-to-use interface. The solution saves time and helps control costs while improving productivity and competitiveness.
• Communications solutions exist in the network, not on it-Cisco Unified Communications products combine the intelligence in the network with sophisticated IP Communications applications to deliver a comprehensive system that works together to offer more effective communications. Cisco Unified Communications applications exist in the network, rather than "on" it. As a result, Cisco Unified Communications can easily accommodate emerging business processes, applications, and new devices, helping organizations securely take advantage of the resources and applications they already have. In addition, an organization can migrate to new communications technologies based on business needs rather than technical limitations.
• Easy deployment, configuration, and administration-Easy-to-use tools make it simple for telecom managers to deploy and configure Cisco Unified Communications solutions and to administer such tasks as moves, adds, and changes.
IP Telephony
• Cisco Unified CallManager-Call-processing software that manages voice and video calls between IP phones, media processing devices, VoIP gateways to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), and multimedia applications
• Cisco Unified CallManager Express-Software embedded in Cisco integrated services routers to provide call processing for small businesses and branch offices
• Cisco IP Communicator-Software that delivers advanced telephony functions to Microsoft Windows-based personal computers for Cisco Unified CallManager and Cisco Unified CallManager Express users
• Cisco Unified IP phones-Includes hard, soft, and video phones for all types of businesses and users from the executive office to the factory floor
Presence and Instant Messaging
• Cisco Unified Presence Server-Uses dynamic presence information, helping users check the availability of colleagues in real time, and provides a standards-based instant messaging (IM) service
Unified Communications Applications
• Cisco Unity® Unified Messaging-Helps users listen to e-mail over the telephone; check voice messages from their PC inbox or the Internet; and send, receive, or forward faxes to wherever they are
• Cisco Unified Video Advantage-A video telephony solution that easily adds video to every communications experience, using the Cisco Unified Video Advantage software application and Cisco VT Camera II, a video telephony USB camera
• Cisco Unified Personal Communicator-An integrated communication client that provides powerful productivity tools, including voice, video, presence, and Webconferencing
• Cisco Unified MeetingPlace® solution-Combines voice, video, and Webconferencing capabilities in one solution that can be integrated with Microsoft Outlook and IBM Lotus Notes calendars to streamline the process of setting up and attending rich-media conference sessions
• Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express-Includes feature-rich voice and conferencing with Web, Cisco Unified IP phone, and touchtone phone interfaces for setting up and attending meetings
Mobility Solutions
• Cisco Mobile Connect-The single-number reach feature of Cisco Unified MobilityManager that helps mobile users publish a single phone number to customers, colleagues, and partners and have calls routed to whichever device is most convenient at any given time
Customer Contact Solutions
• The comprehensive family of Cisco Unified Contact Center products, including the Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management and Cisco Unified Contact Center products-Help organizations provide better response time while also making more effective use of internal resources
• Cisco Unified Customer Interaction Analyzer-Allows call centers to interpret, analyze, and understand customer interactions; it provides complete business context and meaning to each customer interaction by turning unstructured customer call content into structured, usable data and by drawing from multiple data sources relevant to the call center; it also provides call centers with new and advantageous insights into each customer interaction and has the potential to transform how call centers service and retain customers and how they recruit, train, coach, and measure customer service representatives
Management Solutions
• Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite, including Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager-Helps businesses actively monitor Cisco voice elements in the network to discover potential problems, maintain quality and user satisfaction, and minimize service downtime
• Reduced costs-Customers of Cisco Unified Communications solutions routinely cite dramatically reduced costs as a major benefit.
– NCR Corporation of Dayton, Ohio, is saving millions of dollars annually after replacing its third-party hosted conferencing services with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace internal conferencing system.
– Lyondell Chemical Company of Houston, Texas, expected to reduce its annual voice communications expenses by 22 percent four years after it deployed Cisco Unified Communications, but the company realized the 22-percent cost-savings just two years after deployment.
– Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, has implemented Cisco telephony solutions that provide voicemail, call forwarding, and other services. Cisco Unified IP Telephony solutions cost the university 31 percent less to install than a PBX system, and the university is saving 85 percent on annual telecommunication service costs compared to a PBX system.
– SouthTrust Bank (now Wachovia) of Birmingham, Alabama, is saving more than $5 million in communications costs as a result of its deployment of a Cisco Unified Communications system. The cost reductions include 20-percent savings in local and Frame Relay circuits; 51.3 percent in moves, adds, and changes; 93.9 percent in conference-call charges; and 38.4 percent in long-distance costs. In addition, the bank expects to reduce overall voice and data systems maintenance costs by about 15.4 percent annually.
– GreenStone Farm Credit Services (FCS) of East Lansing, Michigan, is saving approximately $12,000 every year in long-distance costs and $15,000 in moves, adds, and changes as a result of Cisco Unified IP Telephony solutions.
– ACH Food Companies Inc., Memphis, Tennessee, has been able to discontinue outsourcing its PBX telephony maintenance and operation, saving $32,000 annually, by migrating to a Cisco Unified Communications system.
• Increased revenue-The Cisco Unified Communications system has enabled Case Western Reserve University to foster enhanced collaboration between departments, students, and faculty, as well as the entire community. As a result, the university has experienced a 400-percent increase in revenue resulting from inventions and a 21-percent increase in grants received.
• Enhanced productivity-With unified messaging, ACH Food Companies employees report saving 20 minutes or more per day. Similarly, NCR reports that the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution has greatly reduced the time required to organize, set up, and manage virtual conferences (audio, video, or Web).
• Improved customer service-GreenStone FCS has integrated its customer-relationship-management (CRM) system with the Cisco Unified Communications system, enabling its employees to provide better customer service. For example, GreenStone FCS uses an in-house application, SpreadChecker, which provides daily interest rates. The Cisco Unified CRM Connector integrates that application into Microsoft CRM and into every customer call. When a customer calls, a GreenStone FCS employee can immediately see what the customer's current interest rate is and offer the customer a better rate.
• Better collaboration tools-ACH Food Companies' mobile workforce now has rich-media conferencing tools available during their travels. For instance, while visiting clients, the company's sales force can use their laptops to establish a real-time videoconference, enabling the clients they are visiting to ask questions directly of ACH Food Companies experts. The ability to facilitate rich-media conferencing in the field greatly enhances the sales force's ability to provide clients with personalized information from top-level executives.
• Faster IT response time-Cisco Unified Communications is enabling ACH Food Companies' IT department to commit to a 15-minute response time, compared to response times that ranged from 15 minutes to 24 hours when its telephony maintenance and service was outsourced.
• The ability to focus IT resources on productive rather than administrative tasks-Cisco Unified Communications is enabling NCR's IT staff to spend much less time managing basic administration tasks, such as facilitating moves, adds, and changes. Cisco Unified Communications has made network monitoring much easier as well, helping the IT department proactively detect and prevent problems-thus reducing time spent fixing them.
• The ability to provide a complete telephony system to remote workers-Teleworker employees of Liz Claiborne Inc. can access the same Cisco telephony features as their peers at the clothing designer/retailer's headquarters, including voicemail and caller ID. This setup gives the company more freedom to hire people who otherwise could not commute to the headquarters office because of distance, preference, or disability.
• Secure connectivity and management-A Cisco IP network infrastructure reliably and securely connects the endpoints, call-control components, and application services for effective operation of voice services on the network. The broad portfolio of Cisco technologies, products, and services is designed to deliver numerous connectivity and management options with exceptional levels of privacy, integrity, and reliability.
• Threat defense-In a converged network, security threats come in many forms, from many points of origin, and with a cascading effect on many network systems, services, applications, and users. Effective protection against threats requires a system-level security approach. Through the collaboration of security technologies and network services, the Cisco SDN defends against both known and unknown threats. It also provides comprehensive security coverage, helping enable a defense-in-depth security deployment that encompasses the entire network, including voice systems.
• Managing identity and trust-A truly secure network requires a contextual method for establishing the identity of connected users, devices, and applications, as well as managing their associated privileges and trust levels. In voice systems, this principle is important to prevent risks such as unauthorized network access. Cisco products incorporate scalable and secure technologies such as encrypted passwords; one-time passwords; digital certificates; and authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) tools to help ensure the identity and permissions of devices, users, and applications at multiple points within the network.
• Cisco Networking Professionals-IP Communications and video user message boards
• Cisco IP Telecommunications User Group
• Cisco Networkers annual user group conference
MIGRATING TO IP COMMUNICATIONS: BEST PRACTICES Migrating to an IP Communications system from a traditional telecom environment presents an organization and its employees with new challenges-and opportunities. The following migration best practices will help ensure your organization's transition is as smooth and successful as possible.
Consider merging datacom and telecom-Usually, an organization has one staff member that handles IT and another in charge of telecom. Migrating to an IP Communications solution often gives organizations the opportunity to reorganize those two departments to create enhanced efficiencies, while also giving employees in those departments the opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge.
For example, before New Jersey-based clothing designer/retailer Liz Claiborne Inc. deployed Cisco Unified Communications solutions, its datacom and telecom teams rarely interacted. When the decision to deploy Cisco Unified Communications solutions was made, the company merged the two departments into a single IP Communications team, comprising an infrastructure group and a services group.
Both groups report to the IT director. Each group includes nearly an even number of members from both teams. The infrastructure group manages implementation and project planning; the services group handles day-to-day monitoring; reporting; provisioning; vendor relations; and moves, adds, and changes. Before and during the transition, employees of both groups were cross-trained on voice and data. Today, the two groups physically work side by side.
Organize under one director-Voice traffic must have priority on an IP network (few people notice when data traffic slows down a bit, but they are sure to notice if voice traffic slows). If the telecom team reports to a facilities manager and the datacom team reports to IT, however, giving voice traffic priority can become a contentious problem.
Consider introducing the new telephony system to employees gradually-Tequila Herradura of Mexico introduced Cisco IP Telephony to its employees gradually, beginning with just 50 employees in a volunteer, pilot-test program. After hearing about unified messaging and other IP telephony benefits, more people in the organization volunteered to participate in the program. Within 2 years, every employee had a Cisco IP phone.

When Sabean made the Cabrera/J-Sanch/Person I've Never Heard Of trade so early on, he robbed the offseason of a bit of its possible drama. But never fear! There is more (possible) drama to come!
- Maybe Andres Torres will jump around Puerto Rico, shirtless with his jeans rolled up, because that totally worked last year and, you know, built up his muscles and all that.
- Maybe Barry Zito will come to a profound realization that the reason he had a bad season was that he's not just having fun out there (ah! That must be it! Makes sense!) and he will not attempt to have fun. Sssh, no one clue him into the fact that trying hard to have fun sort of ruins it.
- Maybe Brandon Belt will make a trip to Starbucks for a Frapp and in the 10 minutes he's there (nobody ever said Starbucks service is fast), get called up and sent down 15 times.
- Maybe Albert Pujols will walk over to San Fran with a sign around his neck like, "Big Bat to the Rescue! Sign moi and I will save the world!"
- Maybe Wilson will… you know… that… no? Forget I said anything.
Okay, enough "maybe"s to feed the American army. And enough drama to fuel the high school in the Princess Diaries for another good twenty books or so.

Enchante, mon ami.
Ah yes, dear Atreyu I remember him. He was sweet and handsome, but very troubled.
I have no idea who you are talking about, but I see what you did there.
He had an almost neverending literary and film career; some think the band "Atreyu" was named in his honor.
him! He had the softest smoothest green skin I've ever touched. Never saw his face though...only through a glory hole.
I remember him, always on here yapping about something or other.
How i remember his pics and that beautiful dick he had.
Gone too soon, dog AIDS, i think.
There was something about his story though, that didn't completely add up.
He was a dog among dogs.
However,was he hot?Would've I like him?
It depends. I thought you posted twink-friendly recently. Atreyu is furry.
He was the son of all after the buffalo came and all liked him. He was a bastien of strength.
Did this really happen or is it photoshopped?
Some say that Atreyu isn't just one animal at all, but a composite of these guys.....
Gotta say, no one has seen the Atreyu in the top pic and these guys together in the same place.
^ OMG! The worst photoshop ever!!! ...putting these guys together. It's so obvious. You can tell by the guy in the middle did not wear the same color shirt as the rest.
I have a neverending longing to hear again about his tales (tails ?).
Magna Veritas
We better keep Sex Kitten away from the Rock Biter, he might mistake her for lunch and injure a tooth.
Atreyu was last seen with Bilbo Baggins entering Moria.
They both entered the turtle -- from the rear!
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.
^^ It might have been Frodo. Neither Narnia nor The Shire are on the world penis size chart.
Since illgetbi is a movie fan he may enjoy this reminiscence....
A trailer for The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter (along with three others) were on the offical VHS release of Gremlins 2: The New Batch that I got in about 1991, and I remember watching them every time I played the tape. It was the only VHS tape I had with trailers on it. The other three trailers were for a drama movie called Montana, the goofy comedy Spaced Invaders, and also the documentary Roger & Me by Michael Moore (LONG before I knew who he was and before he was well-known) - I must have watched that tape over 30 or 40 times.
I subsequently watched Roger & Me a few years back. I'm sure all four movies hold the record for the trailers I've seen the most times in my life, and without ever watching three of the actual movies themselves.
This is the trailer I've seen countless times - but I've never watched any movies of this entire franchise.
Atreyu is even younger.
... and he seems to be confused with Falcor, who wasn't a dog, but a luck dragon with doggie facial features... which I assume is par for the course with luck dragons... except in China, which is a different, different country that is anchored in OUR reality.
... or something.
But Noah Hathaway was a very cute twink in his teens...................
You cant change the way the wind blow's, but you can change the angle of your sail to take you somewhere else!!
^^ That has the ring of truth to it.
Atreyu was a beautiful JUBber who helped a lot of people and brought joy wherever he went. But I got a couple comments from a JUB staffer indicating he wasn't all he seemed.
And Donatello is the gay turtle.
I've eaten a carny a couple times, and gone down on Karnie more than I care to admit. I did not, however, go down on Corny.
I've helped myself to plenty of foot-longs at Coney Island, but not the hot dogs, they're gross.
Try a Polish sausage. It gets bigger as you begin eating it and is oh-so-juicy!
I used to eat Hutterites farmers sausage with perogies ALL the time. Wonderfully spiced... the sausage, not the perogies.
Noah allegedly built a biggish boaty thing too.
Members: [insert appropriate/relevant wise saying or deep thought here]
Thank you.
I hope you get this message.Comments welcome.
The original novel is supposed to be the best by far, after that comes the first movie which is considered a classic, the second movie is not that good but the concept art was done by Patrick Woodroffe, and that alone makes it interesting. The third and fourth movie never happened according to the fans. Don't mention the animated series ever.
I think discussing under-aged fantasy characters who may or may not be real is wrong on this forum.

In its ninth year, nationally syndicated radio host Tom Joyner brings over 12,000 families to his annual Family Reunion to enjoy five days of entertainment, seminars and celebrities during Labor Day weekend.
Cannon, a Benoit School District business manager, took her three daughters, Jaliqa, Chasitie and Lavoryette, and her mother, Patricia, on the trip. Winners stayed at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando.
"The people there were friendly," Cannon said of her stay there. "We got the five-star treatment."
Included in the trip were concert tickets, a day at Universal Studios and Universal's Islands of Adventure, and spending money.
"The concerts were awesome," Cannon commented. "Everything was well-arranged and organized." Among the performers the family enjoyed over the weekend were Keith Sweat, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Jennifer Hudson, Sinbad, Huggy Low Down and Bobby V. On Sunday the family attended the Gospel Explosion featuring Kirk Franklin, Dr. Bobby Jones, Tamela and David Mann from "Meet the Browns," Vashawn Mitchell and Beyond Blessed.
"It was a spiritual, uplifting event," Cannon commented.
Another exciting event for Cannon and her family was attending the live broadcast of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, where she participated in a game and won a prize.
Cannon added that Joyner interacted with the crowd. "Some celebrities you hear about being rude," she said. "But Tom Joyner talked to us like we were family."
Other events included an Expo with educational booths, a trip to a local mall, a pool party and a barbecue at Universal Studios. "It was awesome," Cannon said of the barbecue. "We took part in a musical dance-off. And Rebecca and Terry Crews from 'Meet the Crews' partied with us.
Family Game Night provided time for Cannon's family and the other participants to enjoy being with each other. "There were board games," Cannon said. "It was to get families to interact with each other. We met people from Michigan, Florida, Alabama and all over. We had a blast."
Perhaps the best part of the weekend was that Cannon and her family were able to spend time together. "We enjoyed each other. We participated in events together. The most fun was being around people having fun. And we enjoyed meeting new people. The Tom Joyner Family Reunion is a must-visit family vacation for all. I want to thank everyone that provided this opportunity for us to go. We hope to go again next year!"
McDonald's Owner-Operator Mike Retzer, commenting on the contest, said, "We are pleased to have our Tom Joyner Family Reunion winner use this time to strengthen their family relationships, and we're equally pleased that they had an entertaining time at the Reunion."

The pixel scrolling feature is a function built into Samsung plasma TVs that can reduce or remove the effects of screen burn-in/image retention. The pixel scrolling function removes after-images from the screen by attempting to return all individual pixels to their base-line intensity. It does this by displaying alternating intensities of white and black, from white to gray to black.
Use this function to help alleviate the effects of any image retention due to broadcast tickers, logos, 4:3 standard programs, static images, game HUDs, ect.

I concur, you have really been supportive of those who want to switch.. That being said, after hearing all the bad things of quality on DISH etc, the SD looks really good and the HD is about the same.. I'm watching Pac12 right now and love it! Fort those who stay with Directv, that's cool too.. Bottom line, get what you need and want. Fort me, the Pac12 is very important..
In spite of my writing of your hyperbole and incessant posting about Pac12, I am all for anyone switching to whatever provider at any time. Just as long as it's a thought out process and that exaggerations or misrepresentations (inadvertent, I am sure!) don't lead to false conclusions for others.
Truly, I am happy for those who want to follow every game of their University's teams, and that there is an avenue now for that.

It is predicted that around 2045, the point of technological singularity will have been reached, the point in which the intelligence of computors will transcend that of humans. They will no longer require human input in order to improve themselves.
The one key thing that computors will lack, is mobility. But we already know that the Japanese have created some pretty nifty robots already. What could they be like another 30+yrs from now?
Could Robots rule the Earth??? That is my question for this thread.
What are your thoughts? Do you think it could happen, or that its just unlikely?
